CHAPTER XVI
Yingcui thought at first that she was trying to get some kind of trap, so that Jiang Yuzhi would fall and stay in the snow for a while to get angry.
But the more time passed, the more she felt that she was wrong.
It didn't look like she was laying a trap at all, and she wasn't simply walking around the garden, but like she was looking for something.
She swept away layer after layer of snow with great perseverance, and when the bottom layer of black dirt was revealed, she immediately changed a small place and continued to repeat the action.
After looking for an hour, Yingcui felt that her waist was so sore, that she was about to break, she looked at Jiang Yu, and found that the young lady was still squatting on the ground, holding a pine branch in her hand, and kept paddling, but the speed was much slower than at the beginning.
"Miss, why don't you tell me what you're looking for?" Yingcui walked over, helped Jiang Yu to stand up and rest for a while, looked at Jiang Yu's increasingly pale little face, and said distressedly: "You think that the slave maid can't find it, and you don't want to call someone to come, let's ask the fourth young master for help, okay?" Your body has only just recovered, why are you so tired? ”
Jiang Yu thought to herself, you see that I am tired, right, then Jiang Yuzhi should also think that I am tired.
That's good.
I'm so tired, but it's all to find his jade pendant.
Jiang Yu shook her head firmly at Yingcui, and her voice was soft: "Yingcui, if you are tired, go to the pavilion next to you with the fourth brother and sit and wait for me." You can see me when you sit there. I'll be fine in a while. ”
Ying Cui naturally wouldn't listen to her and went to sit down in the pavilion next to her.
Jiang Yu was not reluctant, and compared with her that she was looking for a jade pendant of what shape and color, and then softly asked her to continue to help.
This time, Yingcui was full of energy, and she didn't need Jiang Yu to say, she expanded the scope of her search.
Looking at the maid's slender back and non-stop movements, Jiang Yu really felt that Yingcui, like Chi Ying, had been neglected a little bit before, but fortunately, she was tough and loyal, and she also knew that she would repay her with peach, and she could be very relieved to use it in the future.
She didn't continue to squat down to remove the somewhat solidified snow, but closed her eyes, feeling that her eyes were stinged by the reflection of the snow felt better, and then opened them and walked towards Jiang Yuzhi, who was waiting in the distance.
The young man was standing under a red plum tree at the moment, with black hair and green clothes, standing tall like a pine.
His face became whiter and whiter on the red and blooming plum blossoms, his outline was like a knife sharpening an axe and chisel, the lines were clear and smooth, and his bright eyes seemed to be soaked in snow light, which could melt everything.
Jiang Yu didn't notice that she had been staring at Jiang Yuzhi's face in just a dozen steps, and she almost didn't take her eyes off.
However, Jiang Yuzhi found out, and raised his eyebrows lightly for a moment.
"Fourth brother, don't let this stove get cold, I'll use it later." Jiang Yu raised her little face and said, "You might as well go and sit in the shelter next to you, I still want to play for a while." ”
Jiang Yuzhi didn't seem to want to say more to her, turned around and went to the shelter next to him, which was a spire of eight treasures, with a circle of sub-steps around the periphery, and chose the style of building a bamboo pavilion on three sides.
Jiang Yu saw that thin back figure lifted the windproof curtain and entered the shelter pavilion, and she felt her heart fall back from her throat suddenly, and she was a lot more relaxed.
God knows that she pretends to be light and light, and it takes a lot of energy.
I don't know if I changed my position, Jiang Yu was lucky this time.
She didn't go back to the previous place to continue looking, but simply looked for it near the place where Jiang Yuzhi was standing before, and then after a while, she really saw a place, after several layers of snow were swept away, half a jade pendant was inserted into the dark and damp soil - that luster, isn't it Hetian jade!
Jiang Yu looked at it excitedly for a while, and made sure that she was not dazzled, she pulled the jade pendant out of the soil, and then carefully wiped her handkerchief over and over again.
Although the jade pendant has been buried in the snow for a long time, the soil on it is also floating on the surface, and it has not been deeply stained into the nicks.
With this jade pendant, Jiang Yu seemed to see the powerful right prime minister in the future smiling at her in the air, promising to die forever.
Jiang Yu laughed out loud, completely unaware of her appearance, and was clearly seen by the person sitting in the shelter with the window propped up.
She took out another square scarf from a small purse embroidered with calla lilies that Chi Sakura had made for herself, put the jade pendant in it and wrapped it, and then straightened up and moved her body.
"Yingcui, don't look for it." Jiang Yu smiled and shouted at Yingcui, who was still looking for her, "We'll go back later." ”
Yingcui also slowly straightened up, then paused, and then slowly walked to Jiang Yu's side, looking at her movements, she should have bent over and squatted for too long, and her body was numb.
But she didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Yu's smile and smiled: "It's good that Miss has found it." ”
Then her gaze moved to Jiang Yu's hand that had been frozen into a radish, and said distressedly: "Can the slave help you get the hand stove from the fourth young master?" ”
Jiang Yu looked at her hand and found that the original ten fingers were slender, but now they were also red and covered with dirt, and she was very embarrassed.
She took a closer look at Yingcui's eyes, and then heard Yingcui think in her heart, go back to prepare good honey and milk, and twist the plum blossom juice and put it together, so that Jiang Yu can soak her hands well.
It's just that Miss has never liked to soak her hands, how can this be good? The hands of the daughter's family are the most expensive, and the young lady is still young and ignorant, but she can't really assume that she doesn't know.
What if Miss scolds her like she did before...... She also admitted it, in short, she must persuade the young lady to soak her hands.
Yingcui made up her mind, and looked at Jiang Yu's hand with a little more resolute.
Jiang Yu suddenly envied Cousin Jianjian, there were still people who really wanted to be good to her.
She reached out and took Yingcui's hand, brushed off the dirt on it, and looked at her: "Yingcui, I want to soak my hands when I go back, will you accompany me?" ”
Ying Cuirao is no matter how solemn she is, and she was suddenly told the central matter, and there was a moment of pause.
When she reacted, she had already habitually agreed, only to see Jiang Yu's eyes shining like stars.
When Jiang Yu's master and servant walked into the shelter, they saw Jiang Yuzhi sitting on a Taishi chair covered with otter skin, leaning back, closing his eyes and tilting his head slightly, as if he was asleep.
The light from the bamboo window behind him rushed through, and his silhouette was a little weak.
Jiang Yu shouted softly: "Fourth brother." ”
Jiang Yuzhi opened his eyes almost immediately, his slightly brown eyes looked at her, and there seemed to be a powerful whirlpool hidden under the calm.
He didn't speak for a long time, and it didn't seem like he was going to answer.
Jiang Yu had no choice but to talk and answer by herself.
"Last time, you asked me about the jade pendant." Jiang Yu said as she took out the wrapped square scarf from her arms and put it on the bamboo table in front of Jiang Yuzhi, "I didn't mean not to tell you at that time, I couldn't speak when I first woke up, until I drank the medicine." ”
Jiang Yuzhi's eyes were on her, and it was difficult to discern what was inside. But soon, he nodded, opened the square scarf on the table, put away the jade pendant, and then stood up.
Jiang Yu: "·····" Just took the jade pendant so coldly——?
Moreover, looking at the way he didn't look at the square scarf, he took it apart and threw it aside, didn't he dislike it for his own square scarf?
Jiang Yu felt that the image of the future right prime minister smiling at her to show loyalty in her heart suddenly "clicked" in her mind and shattered into tens of thousands of pieces.
Is she really too young? It's still shallow to know people.
