Chapter 214: A Gentleman

"Hey, Miss Cen ......" Miss Zheng stopped her.

Cen Ziman had to turn around and look at her again.

Miss Zheng looked at the open vermilion door and asked, "Miss Cen, did your family buy this house?" ”

"It's not." Cen Ziman raised his hand, pointed at Xia Jin and said, "It's Miss Xia's family, I'll accompany her over to have a look." ”

Miss Zheng glanced at Xia Jin suspiciously, then turned her head and smiled gently at Cen Ziman: "But ...... This house is not something that ordinary people can afford, right? ”

Cen Ziman was a little unhappy: "Anyway, this house is neither stolen nor robbed." As for how I got it, I don't have to worry about Miss Zheng. ”

"I'm sorry, it's me who has a lot of trouble. I'm just curious about who lives across the door from my house, but I'm not suspicious of anything. Miss Zheng was not angry at all, but still smiled gently.

As she spoke, she turned her face again and said to Xia Jin: "Miss Xia, if you have any offense just now, please forgive me." ”

Xia Jin smiled: "It's okay." ”

Cen Ziman is a soft and not hard character. Seeing that Miss Zheng looked good-natured, she was embarrassed herself, and said apologetically: "I have a bad temperament, what I just said is not right, Miss Zheng don't be surprised." ”

"How can you be weird?" Miss Zheng smiled and said "farewell", but her eyes glanced at Cen Yunzhou, Su Muxian and Xia Qi unexpectedly, and paused slightly on Su Muxian and Xia Qi, then she retracted her gaze and turned around and entered the door of her house.

"Let's go." Seeing this, Cen Yunzhou greeted everyone and took the lead in entering the door.

Xia Jin looked at Miss Zheng's back, her eyes narrowed slightly, and asked Cen Ziman in a low voice, "What's her name?" ”

"Zheng Wanru."

Xia Jin nodded and pulled Cen Ziman: "Go in." "I followed everyone into the new house.

This is a five-entry house. As soon as you enter the door, there is a shadow wall with exquisite reliefs and auspicious patterns, and there is a spacious courtyard with rockeries in the yard. Some fruit trees and flowers are planted, and the design is very elegant.

Along the cloister. After the courtyard, there is the outer hall of the house. The mountain-style glazed tile roof, the grand dougong, the brightly colored Suzi color paintings, and the vermilion thick pillars look very magnificent.

Passing through the outer hall, there is the outer courtyard. This courtyard is slightly larger than the one outside, and there are two courtyards. It is also very elegantly furnished.

Cen Ziman saw it, turned his head to Xia Jin and said, "This must have been the place where a civil official lived before, and it was much better than our family. ”

"Sister Man!" Cen Yunzhou scolded.

Cen Ziman turned his head and saw his brother glaring at him, and then thought about what he had just said, quickly stuck out his tongue, and said to Xia Jin: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

Now this house has been given to Xia Jin by the Queen Mother, and it is the new residence where the Xia family will live in the future. But here she mentioned the former occupant who somehow fell into bad luck, which was too unlucky.

"It's fine. I am a person who is inaccessible to all evils, and I am not afraid to say this. Xia Jin said with a smile.

Su Muxian looked at her deeply.

Although he arrived at Cen's house today. followed to see the Xia family's new house, but they were silent along the way. Cen Yunzhou wanted to marry Xia Jin, and he had a grudge against him and was unwilling to deal with him; Although Xia Qi has a good impression of him, thinks that he likes his sister, is very discerning, and is willing to come to the door to ask for marriage, with a sincere attitude, Su Muxian said those embarrassing words in public yesterday. As an elder brother, it is not good for him to be too affectionate to Su Muxian. So along the way. Didn't talk to him either.

So the group, except for Cen Ziman, chattered lively. Xia Jin responded to her from time to time, and the three men who followed behind were all silent.

The back three courtyards were still being repaired, and Xia Jin and the others still went in to take a look, and they saw that there were people working everywhere who came and went. Not only did they repair the houses, but they also had to dig up the small ponds, rockeries, and wells in the courtyard to clean up the debris inside.

"Second Brother Cen, you think so thoughtfully, we really don't know how to thank you." Xia Qi saw it and was very grateful to the Cen family.

Cen Yunzhou saw that Xia Jin took the initiative to talk to him, his heart beat wildly, and he waved his hand and said, "My grandfather and grandmother regard you as their own grandsons and granddaughters. If a family doesn't talk to each other, what is it to help with this? ”

As he spoke, he smiled again: "If you want to say thank you, I thank you too." Miss Xia, you cured my aunt's illness and rescued my sister from the lake, I haven't thanked you yet, what is the point of doing this? ”

"It's just a coincidence, it's just a gesture." Xia Jin said politely.

Xia Qi looked at this large and beautifully built mansion, and his mood was so complicated that even he couldn't tell what it was like.

Their family of four moved out of the narrow south courtyard of the Xia Mansion, moved to the dilapidated old mansion of the Xia family, and then rented the house of Luo Qian in the east of Linjiang City, and then bought a two-entry courtyard nearby, and finally, in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there was such a spacious and exquisite five-entry mansion. In more than two years, I moved four times, and each time I lived better than the first. And this time and again, he and his father couldn't help, all of which was the credit of Xia Jin, the youngest girl in the boudoir.

Xia Qi once again felt frustrated.

"Sister, it's up to you again this time." He approached Xia Jin and said in a low voice.

Xia Jin turned his head, and his inky eyes sparkled.

She smiled: "You can just bring me a jinshi back, and you don't need to say anything else." ”

Xia Qi nodded vigorously: "I will." ”

"I don't know what happened to my father." Xia Jin looked at the gray-blue sky and sighed.

"My grandfather sent someone to report the news as soon as possible, and then escorted them over, and my uncle and aunt should be there soon." Cen Yunzhou, who had been listening carefully to the conversation between the brother and sister, said busily.

"Yes, your parents are very kind people. When you move, I can come to your house as often as I go. Cen Ziman said happily to Xia Jin.

Xia Qi glanced at her quickly, and quickly withdrew his gaze, but a faint blush appeared on the root of his ears.

Xia Jin's eyes flashed, and he suggested, "It's not early, let's go back." Go back and rest, it's time for dinner. ”

The group went home.

Su Muxian didn't know what to do. I followed everyone all the way and went all the way, but I didn't say anything. When everyone stopped in front of the Xuanping Waiting Mansion, he took his leave and left.

Passing by the front yard. Xia Jin said to Cen Ziman: "You go back first, I'll say a few words to my brother." ”

Cen Ziman didn't care. Took the maid and left first. Seeing this, Cen Yunzhou turned around and entered his study.

Xia Qi led Xia Jin into the house where he lived, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "What's wrong?" "I looked a little nervous.

His sister has always been calm. If nothing major had happened, she wouldn't have avoided everyone talking to him so seriously.

Xia Jin didn't beat around the bush, stared at Xia Qi and said, "Brother, do you like Miss Cen?" ”

Xia Qi's face turned red. It's so red that it drips blood.

His gaze dodged unnaturally, and he stammered, "Where, where?" I'm a righteous man, how could I be, how could I have such dirty thoughts? ”

Xia Jin was angry and funny: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, how can you call it dirty thoughts?" Miss Cen is straightforward and lively, and it's not your fault that you like her! ”

Xia Qi was surprised and delighted: "I, can I really marry her?" As soon as these words came out, his eyes darkened, and he shook his head and said, "I can't accomplish anything now." is a talented person, has no permanent property, and wants to marry the daughter of Xuanping Houfu. It's just a fantasy. ”

He raised his eyes and looked directly at Xia Jin: "I understand what to do." I will study hard and strive to get fame as soon as possible. Even if you don't get into the Jinshi, you can only be qualified to speak if you have made a name for yourself in the past two years. ”

Looking at such a brother, Xia Jin was a little sad. At such an age and such a family, Xia Qi has done a good job.

However, there are some words, even if he knows that it will hit him, Xia Jin still has to say: "It's not this." ”

She looked at Xia Qi quietly: "Miss Cen, she ...... I have already been engaged. ”

Xia Qi's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Long. He said, "I see." ”

Seeing Xia Jin sitting there still, he just looked at him worriedly. He took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I'm fine." It was originally a dream. If you know that you can't do it, you won't have such thoughts anymore, I know the severity. He waved his hand again, "You go back, and this matter will not be mentioned again in the future." ”

"It's you ......" he paused and looked at Xia Jin, "I think Su Gongzi is a good person, why don't you want to marry him?" ”

Xia Jin took what he said to Cen Ziman and said it again.

Xia Qi was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It's all my incompetence. If I can be a high school jinshi, even if you are lower than him, you will not be much lower. Now for this, let you miss the good fate, my brother can't stand you. ”

Xia Jin ironed in his heart and glanced at him: "You are only sixteen years old this year." 'Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi'. If you were to be admitted to the Jinshi at the age of sixteen, how would you call the world's scholars to live? If you miss it, you don't have a chance, so why should you take the responsibility on you? My business, I have a point, there is no need to worry. ”

Xia Qi nodded: "You have always been the most thoughtful. Thinking about it, he really wasn't worried.

Seeing that Xia Qi was emotionally stable, he seemed to let go of that budding thought, and Xia Jin put his mind at ease.

Xia Qi and Cen Ziman have only met a few times. In ancient times, men and women paid attention to the general defense, and young men and women did not have many opportunities to come into contact; And because I want to get married at a young age, I will inevitably think more about this aspect. Cen Ziman is both beautiful and lively, and it is normal for Xia Qi to be attracted to her. But if you want to say how deep the feelings are, you can't talk about it. At most, it's just a kind of youthful sprout.

"I'll go back to the backyard." She put down her teacup and stood up.

"I'll send you." Xia Qi also stood up.

The brother and sister came out of the house, went around the corridor, and when they passed by the study, they suddenly heard a cough from the little girl at the door, and Cen Yunzhou walked out of it quickly. (To be continued)
