Chapter 33: Merlin

Rouge came back from Rongxiu Courtyard, feeling a little uneasy, but seeing that Jin Zhao and Qiaoci seemed to be going out, he didn't want to greet him, and asked with surprise: "Miss, are you going out?"

Jin Zhao glanced at her and said lightly: "It's not that I'm going out, I'm just going to go to the back mountain to have a look." Didn't say much else.

When Rouge heard this, he immediately said: "The plum blossoms on the back mountain, presumably this should be fully bloomed, or the slave maid will accompany you."

Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just go and take a look, there's no need to follow, besides, I still have something to tell you."

Something to tell her?

Rouge was inexplicably stunned, the eldest lady has been asking Qiaoci to do something these days, and it is rare to think of her. Rouge thought that Jin Zhao was going to tell her something important, so she asked curiously, "I don't know if the eldest lady needs the slave to do?"

Jin Zhao looked at her and said casually: "Go to Rongxiu Courtyard for me, tell me that the second sister, and say that the saint will come to the house in three days, so that she has a number in her heart and prepares in advance, so that it will not be good if she makes a mistake when the time comes."

Hearing this, Rouge's body was stunned, she just came back from Rongxiu Courtyard, and the eldest lady asked her to tell the second lady about it, and I don't know what the eldest lady thought in her heart.

Rouge pretended to be surprised and said, "The eldest lady just said that the Holy Lord is coming to our General's Mansion today, is this true?"

Seeing Rouge's extremely surprised appearance, Jin Zhao said, "Why, can't the Holy Lord come to our Su family today?"

This not salty and indifferent words really made Rouge shudder, and I saw her reply in a low voice: "Miss, the slave maid doesn't mean that......" After thinking about it, the words suddenly changed, "The eldest lady is really good to the second lady, and she specially instructed the slave and maid to convey it, no wonder the people outside spread that the two young ladies in the general's mansion have a very good relationship."

Jin Zhao smiled: "Really? I have not heard of what is being preached outside. ”

Rouge's face suddenly stiffened, and she was a little embarrassed, and then pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Maybe the eldest lady has lived in the boudoir for a long time and hasn't paid attention to the things outside."

Indeed, she really doesn't know as much about the outside world as Rouge, otherwise she wouldn't have believed Su Jinling's words in the first place.

"Perhaps." Jin Zhao said lightly, and then walked away.

Rouge looked at the backs of the two leaving, patted his chest, and breathed a long sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he would show his clues in front of the eldest lady.

Half a cup of tea, Jin Zhao and Qiao Ci came to the back mountain, the fragrance of plum blossoms into the nose, looking at the scene in front of him, Jin Zhao couldn't help but think of the past.

Houshan was originally a wasteland, once Fu's family sent two fine red plums, Jin Zhao saw it, and liked it. Later, this matter somehow reached the ears of Fu Ye, who accompanied his mother to be a guest at that time, he was Jin Zhao's cousin, two years older than Jin Zhao, seeing that Xiao Jin Zhao really liked it tightly, and soon after he went back, he sent Mei Miao, and Fu Ye was also praised at that time Fu Ye was a child with a heart.

It is also thanks to Fu Ye that there is this piece of Merlin.

Qiao Ci saw Jin Zhao in front of her looking at Merlin in a daze, patted her shoulder, and shouted softly, "Miss."

Jin Zhao came back to his senses and said slowly: "If it wasn't for my cousin to send Mei back then, I'm afraid that this place would still be a wasteland, thanks to him."

Qiao Ci nodded and replied: "The young master is really kind to the eldest lady, and every year he will change the way to give the eldest lady gifts, the box in the house is almost full, and the slave is thinking about whether to change to a larger box."

Jin Zhao quietly looked at the plum blossoms that bloomed very well in front of him, and did not make a sound. Qiao Ci said something, she didn't know what it meant, she had always regarded it as her brother's cousin, but she didn't expect it to be someone who had been in love with her for many years. If it weren't for the fact that she was going to marry Yu Wenyu that year, Fu Ye would not have rushed over to tell her what she had thought in front of her for many years in order to stop her. It's a pity that she likes Yu Wenyu, and the person she wants to marry is also him, and for Fu Ye, she can only choose to refuse. That day, she remembered that it was raining heavily, and after a whole day, she stood in the corridor and watched Fu Ye go away disappointed, and finally disappeared into the heavy rain......

She still remembered that during the days when she was frustrated in the palace, Fu Ye also came to see her more than once, but she rejected them one by one.

At that time, on the one hand, she was worried that Yu Wenyu would be unhappy about this, and on the other hand, she didn't want to let Fu Ye see that this man who had loved her for many years did not marry a wife until she was thirty-five years old for her, and the reason why she married a wife was also because of her elders, after all, the Fu family was such an only son.

Jin Zhao still doesn't understand, Su Jinzhao at that time was willful and a little nonsense, on the other hand, Fu Ye was not only born smart and gentle, but also a sensible child in everyone's eyes, and even his mother praised him in front of her many times. She never thought of what attracted him to him, so much so that he fell in love with him for many years.

However, she has never had a chance to ask about this doubt, nor has she ever thought to ask, she feels that there are some things that do not need to be pursued too much, since there is no intention for him, why should she go deeper, so as not to cause some unnecessary troubles.

Jin Zhao held back his thoughts, but his eyes were still looking at Merlin in front of him, and said, "You can do this matter."

Qiao Ci just wanted to talk about the young master, but saw that Jin Zhao had already walked towards the merlin, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.

In the depths of the plum forest, I saw the girl holding a plum blossom on the tip of her nose and smelling it, a pair of eyes as clear as water, smiling like a flower, captivating the country and the city. Qiaoci was fascinated for a while, and couldn't help but think of a sentence in her mind: Looking at the city, and then looking at the country, although I can't remember where it came from, it is very suitable to describe the scene in front of me.

Qiaoci has always felt that her own girl was born with a good look, and looking at the whole of Kyoto, I am afraid that there are few that can be compared.

She just thinks so, and she always thinks so. Even a woman like her was envious when she saw it, don't talk about those men.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ci followed closely and draped the cloak in his hand on Jin Zhao's body: "Miss, the weather is still cold right now, so as not to freeze your body."

Jin Zhao has always been the most afraid of the cold, especially in winter, today she suddenly said that she wanted to come to the back mountain to see this piece of plum forest, which really surprised Qiaoci. Although the eldest lady likes Mei, she doesn't come here often.

Jin Zhao nodded at her and said, "It's not in the way, your master's body is not so delicate."

After that, she reached out and picked a plum branch, and the plum blossoms on the branch seemed to greet her with a smile. Finally, he commanded, "Pluck some of them and send them back to your mother." ”

Qiaoci responded, and the two girls were happily shuttling through the plum forest, and the laughter drifted into the distance with the plum fragrance......
