Chapter 29: Rites
Chapter 29 Rites
Out of the first month, the weather is getting warmer day by day, the ice and snow are melting, and the warbler flies and the grass grows.
After the incident on Shangyuan Night, Zhao Zhi was absent for a long time, and finally landed at the door of King An's Mansion again. The maid came in with tea, and Zhao Zhi kept looking at Xiaodong without speaking.
She's a little thinner than before, probably because she's taken off her winter clothes, so she's a little taller. The child's ignorance faded away from his face, revealing some girlish charm.
As soon as the maid went out, she moved forward and held Xiao Dong's hand.
"You...... Do you blame me? It's not that I don't want to come, but my family doesn't allow ......."
Xiao Dong understands the feelings of King Jingjun and Princess Jing very well. The assassins of Shangyuan Night were targeting her, and this matter could be hidden from outsiders, but the Jingjun Mansion must know it. If Zhao Zhi had accompanied Xiaodong that night, maybe something would have happened.
"That day, that night, if I were with you......"
Xiao Dong hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't say that." It was a flying disaster, who could have predicted it in advance? ”
Zhao Zhi was so anxious that her face flushed: "I didn't come to see you, don't you blame me?" ”
Xiaodong had to comfort her again: "The world is not peaceful, it's better not to go out or not to go out." Actually, I'm fine, it's just as strict as at home, you don't know, I didn't even get out of bed for the first few days. ”
Fortunately, Zhao Zhi didn't come over a few days ago, otherwise Xiaodong wouldn't have to comfort her with injuries and make her happy?
This is also human nature, the person who visits the patient always has to express concern and worry, and the person who is sick has to say something like "nothing" and "don't worry".
"I'll look at your head."
"It's already done." Xiao Dong pulled up his hair to show her.
Zhao Zhi moved her face and looked at the light carefully: "Fortunately, there was no scar." ”
Zhao Zhi brought a bunch of things, both for food and play, as if to make up for the lack of being able to come a few days ago, so she even brought her favorite set of sandalwood makeup boxes to Xiaodong. This is her birthday gift, and she has praised Xiaodong several times, but she is not willing to use it.
Xiao Dong picked up the box one by one and looked at it, from large to small, a total of five together, one set of one, the small one at the top was only an inch square, delicate and cute, and could only hold a ring or a pair of small pendants.
"I don't dare to take this, you can take it back."
Zhao Zhi was actually distressed, gritted her teeth and said, "No, I've brought it all." ”
Xiao Dong smiled and clasped the small one in his hand: "I will take your heart, ah, I just want this, you can take those four back." ”
Zhao Zhi's position was not firm in the first place, but now it is becoming more and more shaken. Xiao Dong said again: "As the saying goes, courtesy is light and affectionate. Now that there is affection, why bother with gifts? Do you think that your affection is weak, so you have to fill it with a heavy gift? ”
"Nonsense, my affection is not thin." Although Zhao Zhi was talking nonsense in her mouth, she was already smiling on her face, holding the makeup box and happily: "Then can I take it back?" ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Zhi huddled with her and whispered.
"I see you've lost weight, too."
"Really?" Xiao Dong touched his cheeks: "I still feel that I can't eat these days, as if I am still a little fatter." Alas, these days I have poured a lot of medicinal soup, and I always have a clear porridge and side dishes, and the birds have to fade out of my mouth. ”
Zhao Zhi burst out laughing, and hurriedly covered her mouth again: "Phew, what kind of bird is not a bird...... Where did you learn that? ”
Xiao Dong glanced at her: "I heard what others said by chance, does this mean anything special?" Explain it to me. ”
Zhao Zhi realized that she had missed her mouth, and glanced at her: "Don't catch my words." That's right...... The New Year is over, the festival is over, do you still go back to school? ”
Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment: "Go back, why don't you go back." ”
"Actually......" Zhao Zhi scratched her ears: "It's not like that to learn every day, I don't like to go." Who doesn't know etiquette? Drawing, playing chess, or anything else is useless. My mother told me that if I didn't go until the New Year, I would ask the master to teach me how to cook at home......"
Princess Jingjun may have frightened this matter.
"My father hasn't mentioned it yet."
"Alas, you don't have a master in the family, and your father and brother don't understand these things and can't plan for you. I think my mother is right. Zhao Zhi whispered: "Besides, the summer is so hot, and the winter is so cold, who is impatient to get up early every day and be greedy for darkness to deal with that mao." ”
"Actually, the last sentence is what you mean by yourself, right?"
Zhao Zhibai glanced at her: "It was originally a waste of effort...... Last winter was so cold that there weren't enough charcoal pots for me, and I almost got chilblains on my feet. Not to mention in summer, it is stuffy and hot, so many people are crowded into a room, and the smell of oil on the head is so bad that people will faint. You say, "Is this a good school?" ”
Xiao Dong was stunned.
Zhao Zhi said these hardships, of course Xiaodong will not be willing.
"We are not men outside, studying requires fame, and ten years of cold windows are just to win a wife and a son. What you learn now won't be used in the future-" Zhao Zhi suddenly smiled: "But what sage words those men learn may not be used in the future." ”
She grabbed Xiao Dong's hand, and Xiao Dong instinctively twisted and shook it off. After dumping her, she was stunned, and Zhao Zhi was also stunned, turning her head to look at her.
Rotten...... It's almost a conditioned reflex.
Xiao Dong coughed and diverted the conversation: "Then are you sure you are not going?" ”
"That's what my mother said, and she didn't just say she wouldn't go, she just said she was sick first, and then she found another excuse, and then she didn't go anymore."
Hongfu came in and brought refreshments, and said, "This peach blossom cake has just been steamed, the county lord will taste it." ”
When she went out, Zhao Zhi pinched a piece of cake: "How is it, are you still going?" ”
"I don't ......want to go, either."
It's not just because of the horror of Shangyuan Night, or because there are more things behind this incident that discourage her. But Zhao Zhi said something that made her feel the same way.
Waste of effort.
The purpose of Jiyutang is not to cultivate talented women, enlightenment is more than enough, but there is no room for further promotion, it is purely to play with relationships, play chess lessons, mix with painting lessons, but practice words well - this is the only one that can't cope with the perfunctory prevarication of errands. The hard work written is hard work, and the hard work is not the hard work, which is clear at a glance.
She also thought about learning something more useful.
- Maybe she's already started school.
Qin Lie taught her self-defense techniques quietly, and others didn't know.
I have to say that Qin Lie knows how to educate and entertain, and she teaches her actions like small grappling, and she is very ...... Uh, Yin damage, it doesn't take much effort, Xiaodong also learns quickly, and he can practice more when no one is around.
Qin Lie couldn't try the trick in her hand, so he carved a piece of human wrist and arm out of wood, pointing out which joints were important and fragile, and which fingers were difficult to hold. Xiao Dong was a little stunned by the wooden hand at the beginning, but he got used to it in a few days, and he still took the one that knocked Qin Lie's head. She didn't think she was trying to make much effort, but she made a sound that startled herself.
"Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong."
She came back to her senses, smiled at Zhao Zhi, and took a piece of cake.
"You should also think about it, and then discuss it with Uncle An Wang and Brother Zhao Lu." Zhao Zhi whispered: "My mother said that she would find me a master from the palace, I told her, I have to find me a good-tempered person, but I can't find that kind of yin and yang weird cold eyebrows and cold face, I have to look comfortable." ”
Xiao Dong couldn't help laughing: "You're such a big score." ”
