Chapter Twenty-Three: The Affection Was Deep

“…… Well, this 'flower' is good. Since Zhuo Zhaojie came back to his senses, a trace of embarrassment passed on his face.

Ah Xing pursed her lips, still not high, not low, not abrupt, but other people in the greenhouse can also hear clearly: "The lady has always liked 'flowers', but unfortunately this moonlight white is not in our house...... Where did Shen Langjun get this? How much does the unknown be? ”

The young man in the green shirt slowly stepped aside and said indifferently: "There is indeed no one in the house, and I can see a bush here in the conservatory." "He was stared at for a long time by a young 'girl' like Zhuo Zhaojie with a bright face and a beautiful appearance, although he was looking at the 'flower' in his hand, but ordinary people should also have some crampedness or hope, but this young man in green shirt looked surprisingly calm.

From the place where he got out of the way, sure enough, he saw a bunch of peonies, among the pale 'color' leaves, several 'flower' buds, but none of them were in full bloom - the young man in the green shirt raised his hand, and the 'flower' petals were gently flickering like the moon, and in the slightly dim 'color' greenhouse, it was like a bright moon, and he said calmly, "I'm sorry, I opened one and I picked it." ”

Ah Xing smiled and said: "Lang Jun is really ruthless, although our lady likes 'flowers', but she picks less folds, and it is strange that our lady looks at this moonlight white when she enters this greenhouse." ”

The young man in the green shirt thought for a moment, bowed down and said, "I'm sorry." The tone was sincere, but he didn't mean to let out the broken moonlight white by taking advantage of the scene.

Zhuo Zhaojie had already understood that Ah Xing was constantly defending her distraction, and she didn't want to spread the rumor that she liked the strange young man in green shirt in front of her for some reason, so she said: "Lang Jun is polite, it's just that we are one step late." ”

said and returned the salute - decisively turned around and was about to leave.

Ah Xing smiled at the green-shirted young man and said, "Shen Langjun, if the servant is offended, Langjun should not be as knowledgeable as the servant." ”

"A-apricot lady is polite." The young man in the green shirt said lightly, and his tone was ethereal.

When he arrived outside the conservatory, Zhuo Zhaojie remembered and asked Ah Xing: "That Lang Jun's surname is Shen?" "Ah Xing knows, and her surname is Shen, and she thinks of someone......

Sure enough, Ah Xing nodded and said, "That's the old lady's nephew, Shen Langjun, who was taken to live in the mansion by the old lady ten years ago, is called Dangu." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "He also has a post? ”

"Shen Langjun's father is Shen Hou, the observer of Longyou Dao." A-Xing said with a smile.

For example, today's ten roads, each of which is placed in an observation envoy, above the state, the Longyou Dao observation envoy is the three products, which belongs to the top-notch members in the outreach, and the observation envoy is of course qualified to receive the invitation of the family members above the four grades, regardless of whether they are real or not.

Zhuo Zhaojie was puzzled: "In this case, how could he live in the Hou Mansion ten years ago?" ”

Even though Shen Yu intends to strengthen contact with Chang'an, Shen Dangu should have been only six or seven years old ten years ago, right? This is the age of 'Meng' to be sent to Chang'an, even if Shen is Shen Shu's aunt, but once Shen is a continuation, the big room and four rooms plus a Zhuo Fanghua, at that time Zhuo Fangya and Zhuo Fangdian were small, and she had to be more or less distracted when she sent it; Second, such a young child is away from home, isn't Shen Shu worried at all?

Ah Xing's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Lady doesn't know, this Shen Langjun is a concubine, it seems that when he was in Longyou, he despised his brother very much because of his talent, so he provoked the observation and made Mrs. dislike, but our old lady heard that he was a rare prodigy, so she sent someone to pick him up...... At that time, the eldest lady and our wife were still angry about this! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie asked strangely: "Is it just to take him to the Shen family?" ”

"Not exactly." Ah Xing lowered her voice and whispered, "Shen Huo's wife, Mrs. Li, is the 'daughter' of the Longyou clan, and she has always been virtuous, it is said that although this Shen Langjun has a good talent, he is just a concubine in the end, but Mrs. Li does not say anything about the treatment of his sister-in-law, but also personally takes it by his side to raise and cultivate, and his intentions are far better than his parents, so he is treated like this...... If he doesn't reciprocate, he should be grateful, right? As a result, he was spoiled out of arrogance, and he didn't take his brothers in his eyes at all, Mrs. Li loved him for the Shen family, but she couldn't ignore her own flesh and blood for him! When he was angry, he planned to teach him the truth of respecting his brother, but Mrs. Li reprimanded him, and our old lady took the person over, and Mrs. Li was so faceless not to say, and she also had a reputation of being suspicious of whether she really treated her concubine well! The Li family in Longyou is also in the court now, or the Lantai Imperial History, please think about it, the old lady takes people like this, can the Li family not complain about our family? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said thoughtfully: "So that's the case. ”

But she didn't believe all of Ah Xing's words - Ban said that the biological flesh and blood are different from those of others after all, such as the 80,000 taels of silver tickets, didn't Ban repeatedly emphasize that only the sons and daughters of the four rooms can have a share? Zhuo Zhi'an is also a little master in the Zhuo family, but in the eyes of the Ban family, she is just a servant child, and the belongings she saved are not Zhuo Zhi'an's!

Since Mrs. Li has a son-in-law, how can a gifted concubine not become a thorn in the eye? I'm afraid that the truth is that Mrs. Li intended to kill Shen Dangu, and Shen Shu begged Shen for the sake of her concubine's 'sexual' life, so she sent the young Shen Dangu to Chang'an, otherwise the Shen family itself had a biological son 'daughter' who was not a few years older than Shen Dangu at that time to take care of, where would there be kung fu to take care of Longyou's affairs?

But Ah Xing's words also reminded her - it's better for this Shen Dangu to stay away, not to mention that he is from the Shen family, and there is a Li family who keeps an eye on him all the time, lest he turn over and take revenge!

Thinking like this, Zhuo Zhaojie instructed left and right: "Don't tell others about meeting Shen Langjun today, lest you get into trouble!" ”

"Yes!" The four envoys and 'women' accompanying her agreed in unison, and A Xing's eyes showed a trace of satisfaction - from Zhuo Zhaojie's daze to the introduction of Shen Dangu just now, didn't she just want to fulfill You's advice of "never let Zhaojie have any good feelings or sympathy for the kid surnamed Shen"?

Because it was almost noon at this time, Zhuo Zhaojie decided to go back to the hut first, on the way to pass through an empty pine woodland, the ground was not paved with bricks and stones, but there were thick pine needles, soft as a blanket, stepped on it and slightly sunken, suddenly, a low voice came from the top of his head: "Zhaojie." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, and suddenly raised his head - he saw that on the fork of an ancient tree next to him about a foot from the ground, Ning Shaobi bent one 'leg' and sat cross-legged, and the other 'leg' hung in the air, holding another fork in his hand, and the probe looked down, because he was behind the light, he couldn't see his 'color' clearly, and he saw his eyes shining, and there was a burning feeling.

“…… How did you end up here? Zhuo Zhaojie raised his head and looked at him for a long time, and said.

Ning Shaobi said in a low voice: "I'll be here for a while." ”

He seemed to notice that it was inconvenient for the two of them to speak, and as soon as he held up the branch, he jumped down directly!

"Oops!" Zhuo Zhaojie was taken aback and blurted out, "Be careful! ”

However, Ning Shaobi toe counted lightly on the body of the tree, turned over neatly, landed firmly in front of her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's so high, I won't be fine if I fall down with my eyes closed." ”

He changed into a green gold silk brocade robe today, wearing a round-necked 'colored' silk shirt, a 'jade' belt around his waist, a palace silk tie, stepping on the clouds, and still holding a folding fan with a handle, although he was smiling, he could not hide the sadness between his eyebrows.

Zhuo Zhaojie is also full of worries now, at first glance, he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, Ning Shaobi said first: "I see that you came from the greenhouse, did you fancy any treasures?" Which one do you prefer? ”

"I just looked at it." Zhuo Zhaojie shook her head, she knew that as long as she mentioned a little moonlight white, Ning Shaobi would definitely try to 'get' it for herself, but just like Princess Yikang vaguely mentioned, if she couldn't bear Ning Yaobi's intentions, what qualifications did she have to accept him so calmly? What's more, she didn't like that moonlight white to the point of asking for it.

Hearing this, Ning Shaobi's expression darkened, and after a pause, he reluctantly smiled: "Really? It's good to take a look. ”

- What Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know was that what Ning Shaobi was thinking about was the opposite, what Ning Shaobi was thinking was: "Zhaojie, she obviously stayed in the greenhouse for a long time, how could she not meet the 'flower' she liked?" She refused to tell me because she was afraid of owing me a favor...... This time, I entrusted my cousin to have a banquet in advance and meet her, is it wrong or right? ”

After a moment of silence like this, Ning Shaobi was upset and 'chaotic', opened the folding fan, and subconsciously shook it a few times, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but say: "Now that the 'spring' is still cold, and you are not sweating, why bother to move the fan?" ”

Ning Shaobi was stunned for a moment, closed the folding fan with a bang, and said, "Yes." "But her face softened, and I thought to myself, Zhaojie, she still cares about me......

I heard Zhuo Zhaojie continue: "Actually, I'm very strange, why are you the same as Shijia Golangjun, you brought it when you didn't have to use a fan in the sky?" ”

“…… This one. Ning Shaobi actually had a trace of embarrassment on his face, he thought about it, then coughed dryly, and said, "You followed Gu Pan'er yesterday, have you seen Shi Yafeng?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "No, it has anything to do with him?" ”

Ning Shaobi looked away with his eyes and whispered: "Shi Yafeng is a few years older than me and Shi Wu, I am still young with Shi Wu, he ...... Well, he is very famous in Chang'an, especially the demeanor is respected by the world, he has the habit of holding a fan, I and Shi Wu looked good at that time, and I also learned, and I got used to it in a few years! ”

"............" Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, she didn't expect that a domineering person like Ning Shaobi actually imitated the behavior of others, and even maintained this imitation habit to this day - I don't know how outstanding the demeanor of Shi Erlangjun, who is admired by the world?

Ning Shaobi glanced at her secretly from the corner of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "If you don't like it, I'll change it." ”

These words made the smile on the corner of Zhuo Zhaojie's mouth freeze suddenly.

Ning Shaobi suddenly frowned, glanced at the folding fan in his hand, and seemed to be about to throw it out.

"I don't dislike." Thanks to Zhuo Zhaojie's mouth, she said slowly, "I'm just curious, so I'll ask...... Don't be like that, as if I don't like what I ask, am I such a picky person? ”

She thought to herself, even if I am, now that I have no name and no share, what qualifications do I have to point fingers at you?

"Of course you're not picky!" Ning Shaobi breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "It's just me ......" He groaned for a moment, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "In the past, when I was in Chang'an, I did many bad things and went through a lot of troubles, but because of my grandmother's love, it was all over in the end!" Therefore, together with Shi Wu and Chun Yu Thirteen, they fell into the name of the three tyrants in Beijing, and they all said that the three of us were the sons of gentlemen, Chang'an...... Scum! ”

He hesitated and said softly, "I didn't care before...... I don't care about what others say, I just want to be happy! But now...... I don't want to drag you down, Zhaojie, I don't want others to talk about what you like is a scumbag or scum...... Zhuo Ba ...... Well, what your starling said is very right, I don't care, maybe you don't care, I can't leave you alone! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, only feeling a pain in his heart.

After a pause, Ning Shaobi said again: "So I thought about it, if you change it from now on, although it may be too late, it is better than not changing it...... What you don't like and that will cause you trouble, I'll change it! ”

This sentence, he said softly, but revealed the firmness of not regretting nine deaths!

He said slowly, almost beggingly, "So you're waiting for me, okay?" Don't get married yet, okay? When I get better, there won't be so many people in Chang'an talking about me anymore...... Will you marry me again? ”

The young man's eyes were clear and firm, with infinite enthusiasm and hope, and unconcealable hesitation and fear, he clenched his fists slightly, stared at the young 'girl' in front of him, and waited anxiously for an answer.

A Xing and A Li, early autumn, and the four 'women' of Liqiu, from the time Zhuo Zhaojie found Ning Shaobi, they looked at their noses and hearts, lowered their eyebrows, stood still, and couldn't help but be moved when they heard this moment!

Zhuo Zhaojie met Ning Shaobi's gaze, and was speechless for a long time, just when Ning Shaobi's eyes gradually appeared desolate, she suddenly burst into tears!

"Zhaojie?" Ning Shaobi panicked and asked in a daze, "I...... Shouldn't I say such things to you? ”

However, Zhuo Zhaojie wiped her face with her sleeve, but there was a touch of resoluteness on her face, she took a step forward, leaned into Ning Shaobi's ear and whispered a word quickly, ignoring Ning Shaobi's momentary shock and ecstatic expression, stomped her feet, turned around and ran away......
