Chapter 21: Lotus Show

In the evening, I saw Ah Wan bring back the lotus pod, saying that it was bought and sent by Young Master Liang, and Zhezhe didn't eat much for dinner, so he sat on the chair and peeled the basket of lotus pods to eat.

While eating, pay attention to the movement of the opposite side.

After washing, I came back at the door, and met an aunt, wearing gold and silver, holding her hands, turning around anxiously, and kept looking into the wing, this look, it was not an ordinary aunt.

"Who is that?" Far away, Zhezhe saw it.

"It's a matchmaker," Aru has sharp eyes, "After the marriage is given, she came to the mansion to say that the matchmaker is just going through the motions, this time is here, I'm afraid it was someone from the prince's mansion who sent it." ”

"If you went through the motions, why were you still sent over?" Zhezhe doesn't understand, what is the process of marriage in this world, how to give marriage, and the matchmaker has to say, isn't this a sure engagement?

"Miss, don't you know, even if you get married, the rules set by the ancestors still have to go, and this matchmaker still has to come," Aru explained, "The matchmaker is to connect the two newcomers and the two families, and she is dealing with big and small things, this is the rule." ”

To put it bluntly, it is an intermediary who takes money to do things, a third party, Zhezhe figured it out at once.

"Now, the eldest lady is still unwilling to be tight, this matchmaker, I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky," Ah Ru sighed as she surrounded her in the middle with Ah Wan, and the three of them were about to enter the door.

The matchmaker saw Zhezhe from afar, and as soon as his mind turned, he guessed who it was, and greeted him with a smile, "This young lady, but the second lady of the uncle's family, Miss Zhezhe?" ”

Zhezhe shut up and didn't speak, smiled, saluted, and went into the house.

"Miss, slow, slow!" The matchmaker stopped the road as she spoke, "Miss, I have something to ask for!" ”

"Matchmaker, my young lady hasn't recovered yet and needs to recuperate, so don't stop it!" Ah Wan pulled her aside, "We all know what you want our young lady to help, and the Gongbofu is the same as you think, but this matter is really not something that my young lady can decide." ”

"Why can't I help, I'm also a sister, blood is thicker than water," the matchmaker had a lot of strength, Ah Wan couldn't hold her, and entangled her again, "Miss Zhezhe, you have to help me, this marriage is a royal gift, if it can't be done, I'll take a board if it's small, and if it's big, we all can't eat and walk around!" ”

"You, a matchmaker, why are you so ignorant, you told you that my young lady is not well, and you are still shouting here, you are an official matchmaker, why are you so rude?" Aru also went up and dragged her.

"It's all this time, what more etiquette do you need," his life was about to be gone, seeing that Zhezhe ignored her and walked straight to the house, he could only shout, "Miss Zhezhe, this begging festival, Miss Xin Xin can't still hide, it's really impossible to hide, and if you hide again, dozens of heads will not be able to be saved!" ”

"You crazy woman, how do you speak? Crazy? Ah Ru jumped to his feet angrily and scolded, "Crazy woman, I see that you have eaten leopard gall, talking nonsense here, come on, drag it out, and you are not allowed to approach again!" ”

Soon, a small servant came over and dragged the person away, and the matchmaker was still screaming there, and the words he said were not written, so Ah Wan blocked them with a handkerchief.

Zhezhe hid behind the screen and listened for a while, making sure that the person was gone, and only then did he dare to come out.

Ah Wan and Ah Ru followed, Zhezhe came out of the screen, and actually saw Gong Bo Xin, the dress she was wearing today was goose yellow, the bun was very simple, and the two maids were guarding behind her, with their heads down, and there was no movement.

"Sister," I don't know when she came out, obviously when she came in just now, she hadn't seen her shadow yet, "Don't listen to her nonsense, Ah Wan and Ah Ru have already brought people down, don't let her get close to here anymore, you don't have to worry!" ”

Xin Xin didn't answer, still standing there, like a pillar.

"You...... Are you going to wash up? Do you want me to let Ah Wan and Ah Ru go with you, "The master said that someone has been arranged here to guard it so that no one will disturb it." This matchmaker has come here to harass her, so out of here, won't there be more people around?

Xin Xin still didn't reply, Zhezhe scratched his nose, only feeling embarrassed.

How do you get along with this, and what should you say? I remembered in my mind that the lotus pod given by Liang Zhecheng was all peeled by myself and Ah Wan, and only the lotus seeds were left, and I could eat them when I took them.

Thinking about it, she went back to the house, wrapped the remaining lotus seeds in a handkerchief, took them out, held them in front of Xin Xin, and said a little flatteringly, "This is the lotus seed I peeled, it is very sweet, you can eat it directly." ”

"For no reason, why do you accept these from others?" Xin Xin didn't answer, but asked.

"It's no one else, this is-" The eldest brother-in-law of the prince sent it, Zhezhe didn't dare to say it, for fear of making Xin Xin angry.

"Anyway, you haven't done anything yet, why are you so reckless? Where have you gone in your former modest self-control? Xin Xin was a little angry, "It's okay to hear your maid talking nonsense during the day, you also follow Hu, Daddy knows, aren't you angry to death?" ”

"I'm sorry," Zhezhe didn't know, why did this matter make him so angry, and he was annoyed for a while, before he remembered that the ancients were taboo about the difference between men and women, even if it was a brother-in-law, he had to avoid suspicion, he was really careless in the afternoon, and he ran to see people without saying anything, and he also accepted lotus pods to eat.

"What do I need you to say I'm sorry?" Xin Xin stared at her for a while before lowering her head, "What qualifications do I have to say you, don't I also want to force my father and mother to death?" ”

"It's not as serious as you say," Zhezhe carefully explained, "I met and didn't say anything, this lotus pod was something he asked me for, so I took it." ”

"As for your business, isn't it yet the Begging Festival, don't think too much, you're already very worried," Zhezhe comforted her, "You calm down first, and then we will think about what to do together." ”

Although, she didn't think she could come up with any other way at all.

"What to do? Do you think with me? Xin Xin sneered, "Your method will kill people, don't you remember?" ”

Why did I end up dying with my solution? Inexplicable!

"My thoughts will kill me, the matchmaker is right," Xin Xin frowned and muttered, as if to herself and Zhezhe.

"Don't think too much about it," thought about it, and could say it to comfort her.

"I don't want to, do you want to think for me? Why don't you tell me how? ”

What can I say, didn't you just say that my thoughts would kill people, then I'll also say a hammer! Zhezhe shut up and stopped talking.

"Can't tell? Aren't you a smart and talented woman? Xin Xin had a cold face, "That's it!" ”

But isn't that it, what you said, Zhezhe couldn't help but slander, do you want me to make an idea with you, or not?

"Let's eat lotus seeds," Zhezhe looked down at the things in his hand, and changed the topic, this topic is too deep to talk about, "Anyway, I've taken it all, I've finished peeling it, and it's a pity not to lose it." ”

"It's a pity?" Xin Xin repeated, "That's what you think?" ”

What am I thinking about me, inexplicably, I'll just call you to eat lotus seeds, there's really nothing else, your extended thinking, can you not jump so fast, I can't keep up with your rhythm at all!

"Yes, didn't you persuade me yesterday to let go of the past and accept the reality?" Xin Xin slowly squatted on the ground, and the two maids behind him were quick-eyed, took the futon and put it on the ground, and also put one at Zhezhe's feet.

Shall I take the lotus seeds back to the house, or should I sit with her for a while? Zhezhe was a little entangled, looked at the futon, and then looked at Xinxin's two maids, her Awan and Aru hadn't come back yet.

Who knows that it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, as soon as you look at him, the two maids immediately retreat.

Zhezhe was speechless, what is the situation, was it before, did it appear when we met for the first time?

There is no way, and he can't be left here alone, Zhezhe sighed, sat on the futon, where he chewed lotus seeds, and paid attention to Xinxin's emotions.

Fortunately, I didn't cry this time.

"Have you seen Young Master Liang?" After a while, he changed the topic and asked.

"See," Zhezhe nodded, unexpectedly, did Xin Xin suddenly figure it out? actually took the initiative to ask the eldest brother-in-law of the prince, do you want to inquire? Zhezhe felt that it was right to add oil and vinegar and say this Liang Shizi better, "The appearance is good, the main reason is that the person is very honest, very shy, and has no scheming." ”

"That's good, you think it's good, it should be good," Xin Xin sighed after a while, "You and me, one of them can be happy." ”

"He'll be happy," Zhezhe said with relief, "I really think he's fine, sister, do you want to see him?" ”

"See whom?" Xin Xin only felt that his heart was blocked, and while he was blocking, he also put down his hanging heart.

"Didn't you just ask me?" What I see, that's my own opinion, "How is this person, you have to see it in person, and you only know what you say, and it's useless to just listen to others." ”

"No one is better than my cousin," Xin Xin said almost subconsciously, and she fell silent when she finished speaking.

"Naturally, cousin is the best," Zhezhe wanted to speak several times, but still gritted his teeth and said, "In this world, in fact, it is something that cannot be obtained, it is the best, although the cousin is gone, but he will always live in your heart, what about people, the more you grow, the more shackles you have, the deeper your thoughts, and many people will become." ”

After all, we live in the world, and we are naturally bound by this world.

"I know," who doesn't understand the truth, "although I'm not as talented as you, I'm not a straw bag!" ”

Zhezhe flattened his mouth, I didn't say you were a straw bag, why do you always suspect me of belittling you! I'm not talented either, and I'm stupider than you!

"There is a sentence, you are very right, he will always live in my heart, will always be what I remember, the best appearance, this appearance, I will remember it for a lifetime, love it for a lifetime," Xin Xin's tears slipped a few drops, Zhezhe saw this, put all the lotus seeds on the cross-legged shirt, handed her the wrapped handkerchief, and asked her to wipe her tears.

Xin Xin didn't pick it up, and wiped it off with her hand, "No need, I've been crying for almost three years, and this tear should have dried." ”

How can tears dry up? Zhezhe looked at her very distressed, this child, sad for two years, at that time, the uncle and his wife ran here every day to see others exorcise evil spirits for her, I am afraid that they didn't take much care of her.

A person who has endured silently for two years is indeed sad and distressing.

"Tears won't dry, unless you die," Zhezhe took the lotus seed and handed it over, "Eat a lotus seed, this lotus seed grew up eating the tears of fairies, you eat it, so as to make up for your tears." ”

"Fairy tears?" Xin Xin frowned, why did this stall pull the tears of the fairy.

"The lotus seed grows in the lotus pond, and there is dew in this lotus pond every day, and this dew is not the tears of a fairy!" This is Zhezhe's bad habit, when the atmosphere is particularly sad and heavy, she can't help but shake her wit, wanting to say something light-hearted and ease the atmosphere.

"Since it's a fairy's tears, where can I afford to eat?" Xin Xin pursed his lips and didn't have a sad face anymore.

"Why can't you afford to eat it, these tears, maybe you fell them, now it's just to eat them back," Zhezhe grabbed a handful, "Taste it, it's very sweet, it's delicious!" ”

Xin Xin looked at her awkwardly for a while, but still reached out and took it, twisted one in his mouth, the entrance was sweet, and it was indeed delicious.

"Well, I'm right, right?" Zhezhe squinted his eyes and smiled, "Actually, a rich lady like us can't help herself. The more you don't care too much, the more you will be happy because of a little thing. ”

"People, it's because they care about gains and losses, they have a very difficult life, they are not greedy enough, and they can't be satisfied with the facts, so they will have all kinds of emotions, but you think about it," Zhezhe's side, as soon as the conversation box opened, he gushed endlessly, and he didn't think about it, whether these thoughts he said were in line with the attributes of the original body, in short, he was happy in his heart, and he thought of where to say, "When we came to this world, we were all blank pieces of paper, we didn't understand anything, and gradually learned to care, and the happiness became less and less, but in fact, what is there to worry about, Sooner or later, you're going to go naked, aren't you? ”

Xin Xin smiled, lowered her head and continued to eat lotus seeds, chewing slowly, very calmly, Zhezhe saw that she was very happy to eat, and simply sent all the lotus seeds to her.

"Well, I just want to live a simple life, others are good to me, then I will double it back, others are not good to me, if I can't beat others, then I don't care, just stay away from him! I always want to live a simpler and happier life! Zhezhe said his attitude towards life.

"I know, you like your cousin, your cousin is not clear, I also know, you think I know everything, maybe I really know, but now I really don't remember," Zhezhe waved his hand, "If I remember, I will definitely tell you, I'm not old-fashioned, it's about the person you like, you should have this right to know." ”

It's just that the bad thing is that I don't remember.

"I actually don't understand why I committed suicide," Zhezhe touched the bell, and finally someone could vent the depression in his heart, "It would be nice if none of this happened!" ”

If Gongbo Zhezhe hadn't committed suicide, he wouldn't have crossed over here, and he was tragically tied up for two years.

If she hadn't committed suicide, she would have changed to a new job now, and maybe she could get a salary increase!

It's a pity that if this can't be established, the fact is that she is sitting here, chatting with her father-in-law.

"Actually, it's not all your fault for this, it's me who wants to go with my cousin, it's me who plans with him privately, I want to go away and fly high," Xin Xin pinched the lotus seed, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, if I was with him that day, what would be the result of things?" ”

Well? These words are somewhat meaningful, and Zhezhe's thoughts were pulled back.

"I secretly made a jade seal with him, and I still want to escape," Xin Xin sighed with a wry smile, "If I and him are arrested, it is estimated that this matter will make our whole family lose their heads." ”

Obediently, privately made the jade seal of the country? Or two people want to fly away? This information is very exciting!

"I've always believed in him, I believe he won't be a spy of another country, but sometimes I doubt it, and I'm scared," Xin Xin crushed the lotus seeds, and the juice flowed down his fingertips, "So, I've always wanted to ask you, but you kept silent." ”

"The more you don't talk about it, the more I think about it, and sometimes, I even feel that both of you are secretly hiding from me," Xin Xin threw away the crushed lotus seeds, "For example, the so-called friend in his mouth, why should I forge the jade seal of the country with him before I am willing to cover for us to escape?" Why can't money alone? For example, why did you just stop me from going, and just happened to puncture all this? ”

This, Zhezhe is also the first time to hear such a hidden secret, how does she know why, she can only look at Xin Xin in a daze, and it took a while to react, swallowing saliva, "I'm sorry, I really don't remember!" ”

"It's good that you're like this," Xin Xin looked at her, "If you are wise and foolish, you are worthy of being one of the best talented women in Wu Kingdom, you know the sophistication of human feelings, you know the wisdom of sainthood, and you are thoughtful and profound, I am indeed inferior to you!" ”

You say that, I don't sound good at all, Zhezhe doesn't know, why Xin Xin likes to think about her to an esoteric level, and always wants to compete with her.

Eldest sister, you don't have to compare with me, in fact, I, the thief of the dishes, makes people speechless, and others suspect that I am stupid, how can I become a wise and foolish.

"Sometimes I envy you, if I can be like you, see everything thoroughly, think clearly, can I also live happily?" Xin Xin returned the remaining lotus seeds to her, "It's hard for you to talk to me so much today, I thank you very much." ”

"That's as it should be," Tetsuche smiled, if only you didn't wear a top hat with me.

"Shizi's side, I will see you tomorrow, and I will fulfill this marriage contract, but," Xin Xin got up, "I am not as frank as you, in the end, I still have to resent others and resentment you in my heart." ”

I know, "Everyone will have people who are dissatisfied, not to mention that you have hatred, I have too!"

"I saw you in the house, making purses, and you want to give them away?" Xin Xin glanced at Zhezhe's room.

"It's not-" reflexively denied, thinking of Yin Si's face, and the ghost sent the god to correct it, "It's-"

"You are very bold, admit it so quickly," Xin Xin snorted coldly, "At your level, I'm afraid that if you give it, others will dislike it!" ”

If you dislike it, you dislike it, anyway, I did it, and it's good if I get my mind!

"Tomorrow, let's do it together, try and compete," Xin Xin arrived at the door, turned around and smiled at her, "After all, I am also a female celebrity, better than you, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to compete in the future, so I won't win once, remember it later, and I'll be happier when I think about it!" ”
