Chapter 279: Listening to the book
After dinner, Jin Zhao sat down on the floor and read a book as usual.
Qiao Ci and Qingwen made the bed, planning to stay with her, Jin Zhao looked up at the window, the night was getting darker, and said to the two maids: "It's not early, you go back to rest, I'll read a book and go to sleep."
Qiao Ci hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you stay with the slave maid."
If she and Qingwen are gone, there is no one waiting in front of the house, and the eldest lady has something to order, but I am afraid that there will be no one to answer.
Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "I have hands and feet, it's still okay to take a cup of tea and drink saliva, don't treat me like a child, I don't need you to serve here, it's better to go back and rest early."
Hearing this, Qiao Ci nodded and responded, "The slaves and maids retreat first."
The eldest lady spoke, and they naturally didn't dare not listen, so they gently closed the door and retreated.
Out of the house, Qiaoci wanted to go back later, leaving the young lady alone in the house, she felt a little uneasy.
Qingwen seemed to see something, pointed to the front and said, "Miss said so, let's go back first, besides, don't you have the third prince with you."
As she spoke, Qiao Ci followed her gaze and looked over, and sure enough, the third prince was slowly walking towards this side.
"Aren't the three princes all in the study at this time? Why did you go back to the house so early today? Qiao Ci couldn't help muttering to her heart, full of questions.
Qingwen shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
A thought suddenly flashed in Qiao Ci's mind, and she pulled Qingwen and left: "It's rare that the third prince came back early today, let's go quickly." She thought that it would be good for the third prince and the eldest lady to be alone in the same room, just to cultivate and cultivate feelings.
Probably because she was too fascinated by reading a book, she didn't notice when Yu Wenyu pushed the door in.
Seeing her fascinated look, Yu Wenyu's curiosity was aroused, she was so focused on what she was looking at, she had always been alert, and at this moment she didn't even notice when he came over.
Thinking of this, he walked over slowly, and when he walked to her side, Yu Wenyu asked softly, "What are you looking at?"
Hearing this, out of instinctive reaction, Jin Zhao looked up, and Yu Wenyu was looking at her with a pair of gentle eyes.
Jin Zhao subconsciously moved his body back, and asked in a light tone, "Why didn't you make a sound when you came in?"
Yu Wenyu smiled, he wanted to make a sound, but he couldn't bear to disturb her reading too intently. Out of curiosity, I wanted to get closer to see what she was looking at, but I didn't expect to be discovered by her, so I was so frightened that I moved back again and again, which made him cry and laugh a little: "It's not that I walk without a sound, it's just that you are too engrossed." After a pause, he asked, "By the way, what book did you just read?" I heard that you brought a lot of books back from your last trip to Su's house. ”
Jin Zhao casually closed the book and put it aside, and said in a salty tone: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's okay, just grandma."
Between the words, there was no intention to show him.
Hearing her words, Yu Wenyu tried to stretch out the hand and took it back. Quietly, she glanced at the book she had just read, and it was actually "The Biography of Women".
Yu Wenyu walked to the side and sat down, and said to her in a gentle voice: "I ate the dim sum you asked the maid to send in the afternoon, it tastes good, and it does not lose the craftsmanship of the chef in the house." How did you do that? ”
As a prince, he has never seen any kind of delicious dim sum since he was a child, but it is the first time he has seen such a unique dim sum. However, the taste was better than the dim sum he had eaten in the past, and he, a person who didn't like sweets very much on weekdays, actually ate several in a row.
Jin Zhao then said: "It's nothing, it's just that I saw that the flowers in the garden are blooming just right now, and I made these snacks with their flower juice on a whim, in fact, I am also the first time to do it, and I am not very sure in my heart, and I just have the mentality of trying."
It's just that she didn't expect the result to be unexpected.
Yu Wenyu said "um" and said: "Who would have thought of using such a method to make dim sum, it can be seen that Mrs. is usually a clever person, but fortunately, she married you into the door, so she didn't ask others to take the first step."
When he said this, a picture suddenly flashed in Yu Wenyu's mind, on the day of marriage, he was blocked by a man. From the other party's eyes, he clearly saw hostility and sadness.
At that moment, he understood this person's feelings for Jin Zhao, if it wasn't for the depth of his love, how could he ignore his words and deeds on such an occasion.
Jin Zhao stopped and said: "The third prince laughed, Jin Zhao is not as good as you say, I was disfigured and became the ugliest woman in Kyoto, looking at the entire Kyoto City, but whenever I hear my name, I am not afraid to retreat, let alone have the courage to marry me, I am afraid that it is too much to see me." Except for the three princes, how can anyone who is willing to marry into the mansion. When the third prince said this, didn't he make fun of me. ”
That's what she thought.
"It's rare for Mrs. to make snacks and send some to her husband, how can I call my husband not moved, so it seems that Mrs. still has me in her heart."
Everyone likes to eat the snacks she makes, and she is willing to make them, but Yu Wenyu said that he misunderstood something.
Jin Zhao didn't think about it and said: "I made too much dim sum today, so I asked the maid to send some over, everyone in the house has a share today, don't I care about it in my heart."
When she said this, her face did not change, and she was a little weak-hearted, and she couldn't help but look away, for fear of being seen by Yu Wenyu. obviously cares about the other party in his heart, but he talks back in front of him.
Yu Wenyu didn't think so, he said softly: "Don't worry, if you think of me, this is already very good, the days are still long, don't worry."
Compared to the ignorance of him at the beginning, the situation is obviously much better now. He believed that one day, she would accept herself and no longer resist him as she did now.
Jin Zhao was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and the bits and pieces of the past came to mind one by one, saying that a lifetime is not long, and it is not short, but how many people can really go through their lives hand in hand, how many in this world.
She once believed that she would be the luckiest woman, and while she was still fantasizing about her bright future, reality hit her hard. When she came to her senses, it turned out that she was no different from an ordinary woman, but that the infatuated people in this world were too stupid.
Jin Zhao got up and said to Yu Wenyu: "I'm a little tired after a busy day today, let's talk about it."
After saying that, Jin Zhao went to rest.
After a while, Yu Wenyu got up and walked to the place where Jin Zhao was sitting, picked up the book she had just read, and in the dead of night, she was quietly distracted......
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone in from the window and hit Jin Zhao's face, the woman's sleeping appearance was so beautiful, Yu Wenyu sat on the side and watched quietly, and she was fascinated for a while, Xu She didn't use a veil to cover her face from now on, and hid it from him. It would be nice if he could even stand still in this moment. For a moment, a thought flashed through his mind that he had never had before, no royal power or wealth was as good as her smile.
Yu Wenyu couldn't help but reach out, but he stopped halfway through, and saw the inadvertent smile on the corner of the woman's mouth, as if he had done something, probably because he couldn't bear to disturb the woman's dream, so he withdrew his hand.
Who knows, Jin Zhao opened his eyes at this time.
Seeing Yu Wenyu staring at her, Jin Zhao was stunned for a moment. probably didn't expect Yu Wenyu to be there, and when she woke up in the past, he had already gone out.
"Don't you have to go to the morning pilgrimage today?" Jin Zhao asked as he sat up.
Yu Wenyu shook his head and said, "I don't have anything important today, so I won't go."
After saying that, he got up and walked outside the house, but when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
"You dress up, I'll take you somewhere."
Before she could ask, Yu Wenyu had already walked away.
Jin Zhao secretly thought to himself, what he was going to take him to do, and he left without making it clear, he always did. After finishing his words and leaving, it was clear that it was his style of acting, and she was not a roundworm in his stomach, how could he guess it every time.
When he was dressing up, Jin Zhao, who couldn't think of any clue, asked the two maids, "Do you know what the third prince wants to take me to?"
Qiao Ci and Qing Wen glanced at each other, both shook their heads, and replied, "The slave doesn't know."
Qiao Ci explained: "The thoughts of the three princes, which can be guessed by the slave and maid at will, if he doesn't say it, the slave and maid are not easy to ask. But the eldest lady doesn't have to worry too much, maybe the third prince really has something important to look for you. ”
It saw that the third prince had no ill will towards his master, let alone a husband and wife.
Jin Zhao sighed, held his cheek with one hand, and said thoughtfully: "That's right, it's just that his mind has always been unfathomable, and it's normal that he can't guess it, it's just that, since you don't know, I won't embarrass you, just don't ask."
What is it? Jin Zhao thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with a clue, and vaguely felt that today's Yu Wenyu seemed to be a little abnormal.
After she had changed her clothes and had breakfast, the carriage that Yu Wenyu had instructed the butler to prepare had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time. And he commanded the breeze to come and spread the word.
"The third prince ordered his subordinates to come over and say, he was waiting for you in the carriage."
Jin Zhao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this going out?" Where are the three princes going today? What to do? ”
Qingfeng replied: "It's better to wait for the imperial concubine to come over, and the third prince will tell you personally."
Since the master didn't explain it in advance, Qingfeng naturally couldn't tell him more. His loyalty is still towards Yu Wenyu, and before the master speaks, he has to keep his mouth shut, and he can't say that he leaked his mouth.
Qingfeng was determined not to tell her, seeing that he couldn't ask the reason here, he could only go to Yu Wenyu to ask for clarification now, so Jin Zhao said: "Okay, then I'll ask the third prince."
It's one thing to ask or not to ask, and it's another thing to say or not to say.
In the carriage, Jin Zhao wanted to ask him several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.
When I was wondering in my heart, I heard Yu Wenyu say: "Madame, don't be in a hurry, you'll know when the meeting arrives."
When the other party said this, she didn't want to ask more, so she dispelled her thoughts, closed her eyes, and waited quietly.
After a while, the carriage slowly stopped, and Yu Wenyu got out of the carriage first, and personally helped her out of the carriage as usual.
After getting out of the carriage, Jin Zhao looked up and saw that it was actually a teahouse telling stories.
She looked at Yu Wenyu again, very puzzled. I don't know what he's bringing her here to do today.
Without waiting for her to think about it, Yu Wenyu took her to the private seat on the second floor, and the shopkeeper saw that they were dressed extraordinarily, thinking that they must be from a rich and noble family, and they were afraid that the little maid would not greet them well and neglect the guests, so they led the way in person.
Yu Wenyu let the store serve refreshments and drank tea by himself.
Jin Zhao looked at him, and saw that he was not in a hurry, and finally he couldn't help it, and said: "Didn't the third prince bring me over to listen to the book today?"
Yu Wenyu took a sip of tea, pointed to the storyteller downstairs, and said unhurriedly: "Madame, why be anxious, it's better to eat some tea fruits first and listen to the book." I'll tell you when the time comes. ”
actually sold it to her, but it wasn't like this to her when I came. It's as if he was tricked by him.
At this moment, Jin Zhao was angry and annoyed, even so, in front of others, she had to hide the dissatisfaction in her heart.
Since she was a child, her mother often told her that she was not happy and angry in front of others, not to mention that she was not allowed to do so.
She slowly calmed down, calmed down, took a fruit in her hand, and listened to the people downstairs while eating.
It's about the story of Mu Guiying's command, she has read it in the book, but it is not as wonderful as the book, I don't know if she is too demanding, or she has read too many books, and she is not interested in listening to it. Unexpectedly, the people downstairs listened to it with relish and applauded from time to time.
It's just that it's not easy to support the family, so she called Qiaoci to her and ordered, "You go down and get a few rewards."
Qiao Ci responded and was about to go down, but was stopped by Yu Wenyu, he said: "Keep this reward for the time being, don't rush to reward first."
Jin Zhao frowned slightly, and said inexplicably: "It's just a few rewards, the third prince won't even be stingy with these few money."
In her impression, he shouldn't be such a person.
Yu Wenyu smiled and said meaningfully: "I don't have an opinion, but I'm afraid that I will regret it when I give it to my wife, so I just wait."
This is obviously something in the words.
Jin Zhao thought to himself, what kind of trick did he sell, he brought her over but refused to say it, but fortunately, she was quite patient, and if she was someone else, she was afraid that she would have left a long time ago.
She wanted to see what he wanted to do.
After eating refreshments for a while, after finishing the book, the people listening to the book gradually dispersed, Yu Wenyu glanced at Qingfeng, Qingfeng immediately understood, and went downstairs to invite the storyteller up.
"I wonder what the two of you are looking for?" The storyteller asked, and Jin Zhao took a closer look, a man of medium stature, about forty years old.
Yu Wenyu didn't make a sound, but Qingfeng asked: "Looking for you, naturally I have something to ask you, what my young master asks, you will answer, if what you say is true, you must not be rewarded, if there is half a lie, you will bear the consequences."
