Although Zhuo Zhaojie failed to keep Mu Kong Cicada, but Zhao Caolu, who came later, took the initiative to refuse to go to the place where the little ladies were entertained, but proposed to follow Zhuo Zhaojie, although he had seen Zhao Caolu once, but Zhuo Zhaojie also saw that Zhao Caolu seemed to have something on his mind this time, and thought, could it be that she stayed and had something to say to me? Otherwise, she didn't have any 'friendship' with this lady Zhao, if it wasn't for the Zhending County King Round, she would have almost broken up unhappily.

But she really guessed, taking advantage of a gap in the middle, the Shen family and the old ladies were greeting, and Zhao Caolu leaned down to Zhuo Zhaojie's ear and whispered, "When are you free?" ”

"I don't know, look at this full house." Zhuo Zhaojie whispered, "If you are tired, I will ask someone to accompany you to my sixth sister and eighth sister?" ”

Zhao Caolu frowned and said, "I came here for you, what are you looking for them to do?" ”

"Huh?" Although Zhuo Zhaojie 'revealed' the 'color' of doubt and confusion, he could guess that Zhao Caolu was very fond of his grandfather Zhao Shi, and her aunt was Princess Yikang, and Princess Yikang, who had been married for ten years, felt guilty about the horse Zhao Kuang, and always regarded the descendants of the Zhao family as his own children, especially Zhao Caolu, although he was not canonized, but he was like the county lord in Chang'an, this Zhao lady herself was also a very pungent master, and she had never been worried about anyone, that is, she had a deep love for the king of Zhending, and she was always unconscious in matters involving the king of the county Messed up.

Sure enough, Zhao Caolu bit his lip and said, "It's related to Shiro, don't be here when you go back, let's talk about it." ”

"It's fine." Zhuo Zhao nodded and said, "Then you have to wait for me, I don't know how long I will be here - the new 'woman' has just entered the 'door', and I don't have the time to see it." ”

These words reminded Zhao Caolu, she rolled her eyes, raised her voice slightly, and said, "You haven't seen your seventh sister-in-law yet?" ”

Originally, the place where Zhuo Zhaojie was standing was not far from the Shen family, and Zhao Caolu was beside her, so the Shen family immediately heard this, so he turned around and asked with a smile: "Do you want to see the new 'woman'?" ”

Without waiting for Zhuo Zhaojie to answer, Zhao Caolu had already rushed to say: "Yes, Old Madam Shen, I am asking Xiao Qi Niang what the new 'wife' looks like, I don't want Xiao Qi Niang to say that she has not seen it yet." ”

Shen smiled and said: "It's hard work for this child today, and I didn't ask her to go to the new 'woman' Note 1, but I was also confused, the new 'woman' will be afraid that she has already entered the Qinglu, and if you don't go to see it, you really have to wait until tomorrow." ”

The old lady laughed and said: "We are confused, we have stood next to this child for a long time, but we forgot that the new 'woman' did not call the child when she entered the 'door', this child is also honest, and she didn't say anything, so Mrs. Zhao asked, otherwise we would have wronged this child before we woke up here." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "Grandmother and the old ladies said this, grandmother asked me to be in front of me, this is to favor me, and all the old ladies are virtuous and gentle people, and the younger generation can listen to your words here, which is really a blessing, and it is also a blessing for the old ladies, but it is easy to ask for it." ”

"Old Sister Shen is really good at teaching." The old ladies came to give the main family dignity today, and secondly, they also wanted to see that Zhuo Zhaojie was the future granddaughter-in-law of Princess Jiyang, and thirdly, Zhuo Zhaojie's words were sweet, naturally no one did not say good things, and they praised Zhuo Zhaojie's decent words, filial piety and courtesy, because the Shen family was here, so although everyone knew that Zhuo Zhaojie had returned to Chang'an for less than a year, and he had not been raised under the knees of the Shen family, everyone still said that this was the work of Shen's teaching.

Shen and the old lady were humble and a few words, but they also praised Ban's, and said to Zhuo Zhaojie when they 'took time': "You and Mrs. Zhao go to see the excitement, I'm afraid you haven't seen such a excitement yet?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie saw her say this, and the old lady also asked her and Zhao Caolu to no longer have to stay in the upper room, so she thanked everyone together with Zhao Caolu and retired.

Out of the upper room, but see that the sky 'color' has been obviously dark, originally because the summer days are long, at this time there should be a little afterglow, but today the sky 'color' 'gloomy', this corridor will be hung on a row of palace lamps with the word Xi, but it is dark tightly, quietly in the direction of the third room The hustle and bustle is particularly obvious, Zhuo Zhaojie 'pulled' out of his sleeve and wiped his cheeks, because he saw that there was no one else on both sides except for the two handmaids, so he chuckled and said: "It's still your idea, in fact, it's just a matter of watching the excitement, I'm really tired." ”

Zhao Caolu also stood with Zhuo Zhaojie for a long time, but there was no sense of relief, he was still preoccupied, and only said lightly when he heard the words: "There has never been such a thing, only children are the happiest, because I don't want them to do anything, but as long as the older ones are not the master or the servant, there is no one who is not tired." ”

"It only takes one day to lose." Zhuo Zhaojie tucked the handkerchief back into his sleeve and said, "Let's go closer here, let's go to Qinglu to see the new 'woman', and then find a corner to take a breath, otherwise I won't be able to hold the dinner." ”

Zhao Caolu was about to say something, but looking at her undisguised tiredness at the moment, she thought about it and stopped, and said, "Okay." ”

The so-called Qinglu, also known as the Baizi Tent, is the location of the 'hole' house in the Daliang customs, which is not in the house, but is set up in the open space of the courtyard for the wedding Note 2.

For example, Zhuo Zhirun and Ding's this one, is already built, in the southeast corner of the three rooms, quite wide, the outside is the lotus silk embroidered hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren Jinluo dome tent, the tent "door" is decorated with incense sachet smelly, palace silk color silk, dazzling, the size of the scarlet bottom tangled grape pattern pomegranate "flower" tree round felt, because of the sky' color, now the tent has been held in the lamp, the lights are brilliant, the people who shine inside and outside the appearance of the ceremony are also a piece of grandeur and brightness, even the grass and trees closer to the outside of the tent seem to be reflected by the lights into fire tree silver' The posture of the flower is rich and prosperous.

When Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhao Caolu arrived, the tent had already begun, the feather fan was opened early, and the closing was also passed Note 3, and someone was taking five 'color' silk cotton to tie the feet of the groom and the new 'woman', and then changed the clothes one step later, this excitement could not be seen, this would be just the right time to take a look at the true face of the seven young ladies of the Zhuo family.

This Ding was born very tall, although he was sitting, but his shoulders were not much shorter than Zhuo Zhirun, the willow leaves had long eyebrows, his eyes were like apricots, and he was a pretty melon seed face.

Zhao Caolu looked at it a few times, and suddenly fell into Zhuo Zhaojie's ear and said, "Don't you think that your seventh sister-in-law's dignified state now is all her own demeanor." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment and said, "What? She was suspicious of Zhao Caolu's words, did he imply that the Ding family was not dignified?

I don't want Zhao Caolu to whisper: "Actually, I'm so tired that I can't even laugh, so I look dignified." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was smiled by her and said, "So, didn't you just say it?" Except for children, there is no one in our house who is not tired. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie took advantage of the darkness and no one noticed that he was coming, pulled Zhao Caolu, quickly withdrew from the crowd, slipped to the corridor, and saw that the crowd began to disperse, and said in a low voice: "Let's go back to the fourth room first to take a breath." ”

"Good!" Zhao Caolu nodded.

Zhuo Zhaojie was not in the mood to ask Fang Cai Mu Kong Cicada to the third room, but there was a conflict with Ou Xianniang or the little lady next to her, as soon as she returned to Jinghong Building, she was so tired that she leaned on the couch, and only after relieving her breath did she remember Zhao Caolu, but she saw that she had already sat unceremoniously in the guest seat, Ah Xing and Ah Li lightly presented a bowl of 'chicken' soup: "This is the sister-in-law Ge who got up early in the morning and stewed it, saying that the lady will definitely be tired today, and drinking a bowl can also refresh herself." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie nodded: "She has a heart." ”

The two of them each drank a bowl of 'chicken' soup and ate a few snacks before they eased up and regained their 'spirit' spirit, Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at the copper leak and said, "We won't stay here for long." ”

Zhao Caolu knew what she meant, hesitated, but finally leaned into her ear and said softly: "I want to know what Shiro thinks now?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "You mean ......?"

Zhao Caolu 'rubbed' the handkerchief, his eyes drooped, looking at the low couch not far away, although his voice was light, he revealed the 'color' of perseverance, and said lightly: "Since the prince's birthday, I haven't seen him again, and now he lives in Daming Palace, and has entrusted his aunt several times...... It was Her Royal Highness Princess Yikang who inquired about the news, and they all said that he was busy, but his grandfather said...... No matter how busy you are, you can't even send me a message. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie quickly thought about how to answer her, but Zhao Caolu continued: "So I want to ask you to help me ask Ning Jiu, now that he is in front of the saint, the saint cultivates himself, and even the aunt can only probe from the queen's mother, it is not good to break into the Zichen Palace, but Ning Jiu has the love of the eldest princess of Jiyang, and he has always had an idea, and he can always think of a reason to go to the Zichen Palace to ask for a meeting, I ...... Don't ask such a question, you won't be willing to ask it. ”

"This ...... Zichen Hall is where the Inner Dynasty is located, whether Jiulang can go, and whether he can meet the King of Zhending, I don't know. Zhuo Zhaojie listened to Ning Shaobi and You's analysis of the current situation, but he was not as naïve as before, and was willing to agree, but after thinking for a moment, Fang said slowly, "Even if you can, but in today's situation, Mrs. Zhao, you grew up in Chang'an, and your understanding of political affairs is beyond my comparison, and I must also understand that Jiulang seems to be at ease at this moment, but he is not really free and unrestrained." ”

Zhao Caolu shook his head and said, "You think too much, how can I be such a dead-faced person?" I don't hide it from you, I do admire Shiro, in addition to him, I haven't seen a second person in this world who can make me feel more entrusted, but such a thing is reluctant, if he has no self in his heart, even if I try to marry him, it is just to make him hateful, in vain to suffer each other, it is better to cut off the love as soon as possible, and find another lover. So, I just want to ask Ning Jiu to help me ask a question, just ask, and I don't have to speak for me or do anything else...... How could this drag down Ning Jiu? Although I was suspicious of you in the past, it is impossible to harm you or Ning Jiu, after all, Ning Jiu is Shiro's arm, and he hurt Ning Jiu, can Shiro not blame me? ”

Hearing her say this, Zhuo Zhaojie's face softened and said, "It's inconvenient for me to see him today, I'll talk to him in two days." She knows that her scheming city is not as good as others, but she is not completely without calculation, although according to Zhao Caolu's statement, this is a trivial matter, but who knows if there will be other tricks inside?

Besides, Zhao Caolu said that Ning Yaobi was the arm of the king of Zhending, so she would not harm Ning Shaobi, but Zhuo Zhaojie thought in his heart, what if Zhao Caolu hated because of love? It was because she immediately postponed it to two days later, which was enough for her to consult the You clan before deciding whether to tell Ning Shaobi about the matter.

"Thank you." Zhao Caolu pursed his lips and said softly.
