168.Hosta Aftermath (4)

Called the green lotus into my room, and as soon as I walked in the door, I saw the green lotus covering his mouth and nose and shouting, "What is the smell?" I glanced at her and said calmly, "Wine." The bed quilt had to be taken out to wash, and the pillows were also taken out to dry, and then Yan Qi brought water to wash the ground, so busy that the three of us were sweating, and finally Yan Qi concluded: "You should let your son sleep in the yard." ”

I chuckled and teased, "Are you willing?" ”

He turned his eyes to me and said, "If you are willing to give me, I will give up." ”

Hmph, want to take my army? He said calmly: "Okay, next time you make the decision and throw people into the yard, I will never stop you." ”

Yan Qi walked out with the bucket, and when the corners of my mouth were curled, I heard him throw a sentence: "I don't know who is waiting for Gongzi to come back." I grabbed something and threw it at his shoulder, but he dodged so fast that I didn't throw it.

A storm thought it was over, and Ah Ping went out early in the morning the next day, but when he arrived, someone from the palace came to spread the word that Ah Ping was waiting for me in the Jingqian Palace. It's not been a day or two since I entered the palace, and I won't go with people too rashly, and I panicked when I asked the people in the palace a few words. I sneered and snorted, "Who sent you?" ”

The palace man groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's Lord Yan." ”

Zhu Di?! Impossible, immediately deny it in the mind. My face sank: "Which palace are you from?" If you don't tell the truth, you will be taken down immediately. ”

"The slave doesn't dare to deceive the mother, it is indeed the prince of Yan who sent me, and the prince said that if you don't believe it, you will know if you have seen this thing."

I saw him take out a small long brocade box from his sleeve and hand it to me, and I did not take it recklessly, but said, "You open it yourself and show it to me." "In this Orchid Garden, there are Yan Qi and Green Lotus to protect me, and I am not afraid that he will dare to attack suddenly, but I have to be careful in case the box is opened, there is some hidden weapon or poisonous fog or something. Forgive me for watching too many martial arts dramas and court dramas, and my imagination is also richer.

The palace people didn't hesitate, they opened the box and didn't make any movement, I leaned forward a little and looked at it, but the whole person froze, isn't that my hosta that was snatched away by Zhu Gaoxu? How could it be in him? Also, didn't Ah Ping say that the hairpin was broken?

Gong said: "The prince said, if the mother is unwilling to move forward, then this hosta will return to the original owner; If the mother is willing to move forward, please also ask the mother to move with the minions. I frowned, stared at the young palace man in front of me, and asked after half a sound, "What's your name?" He seemed to be stunned, but quickly replied: "The slave's name is Ma He." ”

Horses and? is surnamed Ma again, "Does it have anything to do with the Ma family in Haozhou?" Seeing Ma He shaking his head, the drum in my heart was lowered slightly, and I asked, "Are you from King Yan?" This time he paused before nodding: "The slave entered the Yan Wang's Mansion when he was 14 years old, and has been following the Yan King, Yan Wang disappeared inexplicably for a year last year, and the whole house was very anxious. ”

Hearing this, there is no longer any doubt that it is indeed Zhu Di.

I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Are you saying that King Yan taught you?" Ma He shook his head, "The prince only said that if Niangniang asked about anything, she would answer truthfully and should not hide it." ”

Zhu Di...... I chewed on those two words in my mind, and he had anticipated almost all of my thoughts, and when this hosta reappeared in front of my eyes, I had to go to see him even if I had the heart to refuse.

"You lead the way." I said to my horse, "But I will take my handmaid with me." ”

Ma Heying: "Niangniang is casual." ”

I called Green Lotus to follow, Yan Qi asked me where I was going, I only said that I had something to go out, and he didn't ask more. Ma He led the way, and I followed behind with Green Lotus, and found that the road he led did not walk on the avenue, but almost all of them walked from the trail.

When I came to a secluded and uninhabited place, Ma He stopped, and I looked around and saw no figure of Zhu Di, and I couldn't help but be suspicious. But when he saw Ma He walking to the rockery, he said: "Lord Wang, Niangniang is here." I moved a few steps to the side, and I saw a figure leaning on the other side of the rockery, and when I heard the words, I turned my head to this side, and it was Zhu Di.

With four pairs of eyes, it has been many days since that birthday party, and he still gives me a deep feeling. I only listened to his low order: "Ma He, you go down first." I paused, and asked the green lotus to wait first.

Watching Zhu Di walk slowly, I had the illusion that Lu Feng was approaching, but when I saw the look on his face, I woke up. He looked at me silently, as if waiting for me to speak. Without a detour, I asked directly, "What are you looking for me for?" He hooked his lips and smiled, "Lan'er, shouldn't you ask about the hosta first?" ”

I knew it was a trap, but I still jumped headlong: "Why is the hosta there for you?" ”

Zhu Di's answer was very simple: "I want it from Xu'er." ”

What does Zhu Gaoxu want? It must have been that kid who snatched my hosta and went back, and his father saw it and asked him what was going on, and then it was confiscated directly. But ...... "Why did it get to that orchid?" Did you give it to her? ”

When the words fell, Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he asked back: "Ping'er told you like this?" Is the hosta on the orchid's side? Seeing his reaction like this, his heart sank, but he nodded. Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "Sure enough, I expected it." ”

"What did you expect? You make it clear. ”

He stared at him, and the words were clear: "Didn't you already know it when you saw this hosta?" I couldn't help but be annoyed by what he said, and avoided that gaze and said, "I don't have a number, if you want to say it, just say it, and if you don't say it, I'll leave." ”

But he sneered, "You're so smart, do you need me to explain?" Without orchids, this hosta has always been with me. I subconsciously vetoed: "Impossible!" Ah Ping said that Hu Ji wore my hosta and was seen by him, and he said that the hairpin was broken, and your hairpin was intact, and it must not be mine. ”

Zhu Di was not in a hurry to refute, he only opened the brocade box and took out the hairpin in front of me, "Take a closer look." ”

His eyes fell on the hairpin, and he found that there was a crack at the root of the hairpin, was it really broken? "You stuck it back?"

Zhu Di took the hosta in his palm and said in a low voice: "That day, I inadvertently dropped this hairpin on the table and was seen by Ping'er, he stepped forward with a big change in face and grabbed it and asked where the hairpin came from, and then accidentally missed, and the hairpin fell to the ground and broke. ”

It turned out that this was how it happened, but why did Ah Ping come back and send a orchid to say? Don't...... I glared at Zhu Di in shock, impossible! But he directly punctured my reverie: "If I still had doubts at that time, but the day before yesterday at the farewell banquet I was already sure that he had obviously judged me as two people, even if there was no hatred in his eyes, but he also lost the original respect. This is also the main reason why I asked you out, guessing that you may still be kept in the dark, if I go to Lanyuan to find you, you have a bad reputation, so I let Ma He bring a hosta to ask you out to meet. ”

I still felt incredulous, "How could Ah Ping possibly know?" "Zhu Di and I only met for the third time this time, and we didn't talk for too long on the previous two times, and Ah Ping was not present at the time. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his eyes widened in an instant, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows when he saw this: "You should have thought of it." ”

"When he brought you to Orchid Garden...... Already know? ”

Zhu Di shook his head, "It shouldn't be certain at that time, but it was just a temptation, I was uneasy when I saw you, and I didn't even notice his thoughts, and I felt something wrong when I went back." ”

"You're saying he was suspicious before that? But I haven't seen you again, how can he be suspicious? ”

"There is always a reason for everything, think about who you met before this king went to Orchid Garden?"

"Axu?" Before I met Zhu Di, the only old man was Zhu Gaoxu, who came to Lanyuan to fight with Lu Lotus and Yan Qi, but his demeanor changed greatly after seeing me. It's Yan Qi! It must have been him who reported the events of that day to Ah Ping, and although Ah Ping did not understand the change in Zhu Gaoxu's attitude, he must have paid attention. Coupled with Zhu Di's gaffe that day and the punishment of Zhu Gaoxu, as soon as the two things were connected, I thought that it might be related to me.

So I invited Zhu Di to come to Lanyuan for a drink on the next day, but in fact, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to me. Ah Ping wanted to see if Zhu Di had any contact with me, so the drunkenness after that was obviously fake, it was ridiculous to think about it, their uncle and nephew were drunk with the osmanthus wine I brewed, and both of them pretended to be drunk.

Since it was fake drunk, then I and Zhu Di must have been heard by Ah Ping when I talked in the hall, no wonder he was "drunk" when I returned to the room at night. In fact, there were early clues, but I repeatedly ignored them.

At that time, Ah Ping should have guessed that Zhu Di was the original Lu Feng, but he couldn't help but say nothing, until the hosta appeared in Zhu Di's hand, his tense nerve was finally broken, so there was a madness in the past two days.

That's how it goes.

But I still have doubts, even if Zhu Gaoxu behaved strangely when he came to Lanyuan to find a gap, and then Zhu Di gaffed and punished him, this can't connect Zhu Di with me. Why did he take Zhu Di into the Orchid Garden to test me later?

Zhu Di listened to my question, thought for a moment and asked, "Have you mentioned something about this king before?" ”

I shook my head flatly: "Never mentioned it." "After knowing that Ah Ping is Zhu Yunwen, he thought that he wanted their uncle and nephew to have a harmonious relationship, how could he bring up the matter of the Northern Tribulation?

Suddenly frowned, is it because of Zhu Gaoxu?

Zhu Di asked on the side: "What did you think of?" I glanced at him and whispered, "After meeting Ah Ping again, I talked about the previous encounter, and I mentioned Ah Xu, and asked him to find Ah Xu." ”

Zhu Di's expression was solemn when he heard this, "If you just use your name and use this thought, then my nephew really impresses me." I met his gaze and said word by word: "You don't have to be impressed, Ah Ping has a gentle and kind personality, even if he thinks about you and me, it is only out of concern for me, and there is no damage to the relationship between your uncle and nephew." ”

Zhu Di looked at me and suddenly took a step closer, "What are you afraid of?" Are you afraid that I will be at odds with him because of you? ”

He is a little taller than Ah Ping, and the contours between his eyebrows and eyes are not as young as Ah Ping, but he has a unique mature charm. At such close distance, I admit that my heart rate is a little disturbed, but that doesn't mean anything. Raised his head and replied calmly: "I'm not afraid, how can the incident between you men start because of me as a woman, since ancient times, it is just an excuse to be angry, the real reason is still you men." Zhu Di, Ah Ping regards you as a magnificent grandfather, and I believe you also see it in your eyes. ”

In fact, his heart is clear, Zhu Di's several "accidents" are intentional, and Ah Ping is testing him at the same time he is also testing Ah Ping. This is a game in which two people test each other's bottom line, regardless of victory or defeat.
