Chapter Seven: Exploring the Orphan Girl in the World and Going Down to Jiangnan (70)
When he saw Luo Xiyuan being forced by Guo Xian to drop the long whip in his hand, the eyes of the brocade-clothed young man, like an eagle, suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a shallow arc.
The official beside him glanced at the smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked curiously, "Master, what do you like about this Luo girl?" ”
Seeing that he didn't react, the official thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "The slave didn't think there was anything special about this girl!" Although he looks very good, he ...... back."
As if he realized that he had said the wrong thing, he immediately stopped, and after looking left and right, he continued with confidence: "There are many good-looking girls in the family, why do you want to go far? Besides, this Luo girl has a strong temperament, and she is reckless in her work, so she is said to be a good person, and everyone on the street avoids me, but she loves to come out, I looked, she is not a smart woman, the slave is stupid, I really can't see where she is good, it is worth the master's trouble. ”
The brocade-clothed young man smiled and took a deep breath, his gaze not taking off Luo Xiyuan's back.
"Where is there such a woman in the family, even if you look at the world, it is difficult to find it, you know what."
The man dressed as an official servant was stunned for a long time, full of doubts.
"What's the difference? The minions are stupid and really don't understand the difference. ”
The brocade-clothed young man shook his head and smiled helplessly: "With your head, what can you understand?" In addition to being promoted, getting rich, and marrying a wife, what other hopes are there? ”
The man dressed as an official pouted and felt a little aggrieved.
"What kind of wife does the master want, but the slave hasn't married yet!"
The clear and sharp gaze of the young man in brocade suddenly softened, and he looked out the window at the place where his back disappeared without blinking.
"Dongting, have you ever seen a woman in the world who would pity the emperor is a caged bird?"
The official who was called the East Court, when he heard this, immediately turned white, and hurriedly replied: "If there is such a rebellious woman in the world, the slave will be the first to not let her go!" ”
After confessing his loyalty, he quietly glanced at his master's face, and found that his master's expression was the same, so he put a little snack.
"Dongting, there are many women in this world who love me, whether it is because of power and wealth or sincere admiration, most of them want to be attached to me, and there are very few women who look down on me, but they admire others. She's the only one ......"
The brocade-clothed boy paused for a moment, and his tone soared.
"She doesn't love me, she doesn't love others, she doesn't want to be in prison, and the imperial power, wealth, affection, and friendship are not worth the importance of freedom in her heart. She is like Hai Dongqing on the grassland, Hai Dongqing who will never be tamed...... For the first time, I felt that there was a person in this world, like a mirror, reflecting another self, a person who really wanted to live. ”
The young man in brocade was suddenly in a good mood and laughed loudly.
The man dressed as an official next to him turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground tremblingly.
"The master must not think like this, this kind of thing is not what Ming Jun said, if the ancestor knows, I don't know how to be sad! The slave has been with you since childhood, and I have never seen you have such a time, although the slave is stupid, but he has also read the sage book for a few years, and the sage has a cloud ......"
The man dressed as an official knelt on the ground, and his mouth kept talking, and his voice was a little trembling.
The brocade-clothed young man turned around and saw him kneeling on the ground, hunched back, trembling slightly with fear, and he couldn't breathe.
The young man kicked the man called Dongting to the side, and said angrily, "I'm too lazy to tell you, get up!" ”
Dongting was kicked away and fell to the ground, and when he saw the young man walking out of the house, he didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly got up and chased after him.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Go to Zhao Zheng and take a look!"
"Didn't Lord Zhao say that you should go to his mansion tomorrow?"
"I will go whenever I love!"
"Will this disrupt Lord Zhao's deployment?"
"Wei Dongting !!"
……
Zhao Mansion, back garden.
At the end of the day, the corner door of the back garden suddenly opened.
The two of them were escorted in, the little boy was indignant along the way, and the girl's bright face was calm.
On the pavilion on the lake, Zhao Zheng took off his official uniform, dressed in blue-gray regular clothes, wearing a hat on his head, and his hair was neatly combed, making him look more and more elegant.
In the corner of the pavilion, two girls are guarding the red clay stove to cook tea and add water.
Zhao Zheng gently put the white child in his hand on the chessboard of the stone table, and his eyes turned around, staring at the intersection leading to the shore.
"Long time no see, Miss Luo!"
Zhao Zheng looked at the oncoming Luoxi Garden and smiled gently.
"Why don't you untie Miss Luo soon?! Miss Luo is my guest this time, I can't be lazy, please come up! ”
When the left and right officials heard this, they hurriedly removed the ropes tied to the back of their hands for the master and apprentice of Luoxi Garden, and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.
Luo Xiyuan moved his wrist a few times and sneered: "Lord Zhao's hospitality is really chic!" ”
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he laughed dryly a few times, but his face was still calm.
"As a last resort, I hope Miss Luo will forgive me! Have a seat! ”
Luo Xiyuan ignored his explanation and sat down.
The little girl on the side immediately came up with a pot of tea, and the spout of the teapot was still steaming.
The other girl set up a clean tea set, not a pocket teacup, but a faience tea bowl painted with various colored flowers.
Luo Xiyuan looked at this tea bowl, a little surprised, Zhao Zheng looked at such a gentle and elegant person, how could he drink tea with this big bowl?
The girl lifted the pot and slowly poured the tea into the bowl, and the clear yellow tea soup was mixed with a faint aroma of herbs.
Standing in the east courtyard behind Luo Xiyuan, looking at the white tea bowl in front of her, her heart suddenly became vigilant.
"Master, your body hasn't recovered yet, so it's not appropriate to drink tea."
When Dongting spoke, he lowered his voice, but it still fell into Zhao Zheng's ears accurately.
Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "This is ginseng tea, which was specially given to me by a friend in the north a few days ago to heal and prolong life, which is the best." ”
Luo Xiyuan picked up the steaming tea bowl, and as soon as he approached his lips, he heard an exclamation from Dongting, "Master, no!" ”。
She smiled and said, "Lord Zhao has been famous for half a lifetime, how can he kill people in his own home?" ”
After speaking, he drank the bowl of tea soup in one go.
She has been soaking in a medicine jar since she was a child, and she is familiar with the smell of various herbs, and later read Shi Shu Yaojin's Codex of Poison and Detoxification, so what is in this tea bowl, she can smell it very clearly.
"Miss Luo is so guts! However, Zhao really had no intention of harming the girl, and the ginseng in this tea soup was worth more than 100 gold! ”
Zhao Zheng laughed, but he didn't touch the tea bowl in front of him.
The east courtyard on the side looked anxious, but he didn't know how to prevent the master from being killed.
