Chapter 37: Like a dream when you first wake up, you are in love
Yun Ci looked at him with this gaze, which reminded Zhu Xiu of the dagger that Shen Yu had given him. It is chic and exquisite, pleasing to the eye, but it is a cold blade.
Under Yun Ci's gaze, Xiu felt a palpitation for no reason. In her impression, Yun Ci has always been kind and pleasant, which makes her feel like a spring breeze, and at this moment......
But seeing Yun Ci's gaze flickering slightly, he moved from his face to Hao's wrist, only for a moment, and then settled back again.
Only then did Izuku remember that Yun Guan was still holding his wrist, and hurriedly took his hand back.
Yun Ci still looked at Xiu, only to feel that she didn't apply fat powder at the moment, as if she had wiped rouge, her face was crimson, her face was like a peach and plum, and she looked extremely delicate and moving......
Neither of them said anything, out of Xiu was speechless, and Yun Ci didn't want to speak. On the contrary, Steward Yun was the first to come back to his senses, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Master Hou." ”
Yun Ci didn't hear it, and still remained silent, only looking at Chuxiu fixedly, not wanting to let go of the slightest change in her expression. Out of Xiu was stared at by him uncomfortably and weak-heartedly, so he unconsciously lowered his head and lowered his eyes to salute.
Zhuying coughed lightly at the right time and asked, "What about Uncle Zhong?" Master Hou has something to order. ”
Steward Yun hurriedly replied: "Uncle and aunt are in the backyard, and the villain will go and invite them." With that, he turned and ran to the backyard.
As soon as Steward Yun left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became even more silent. Izuku stood a little helplessly, not daring to look up at Yun Ci. Ever since she knew that Yun Guan was asking to marry her, in a moment, her mind was also twisted and turned.
Surprise, abruptness, speculation, shame, indignation, weakness...... Until now, the negative energy that has faintly come from my heart is intertwined back and forth, which is very uncomfortable.
Yun Ci still didn't say a word, didn't say anything about entering the hospital, and didn't say anything about going back. One of the two was in the courtyard and the other was outside the courtyard, looking at each other through the arched courtyard gate, experiencing the most embarrassing moment since they met each other.
Fortunately, Steward Yun quickly went and returned, and the housekeeper Yun Zhong and his wife and children also came together and bowed down to Yun Ci. Yun Zhong had obvious apprehension on his face, and said again and again: "I don't know that Master Hou, you deigned to come over, the old slave is guilty." ”
Only then did Yun Ci take his eyes off the face of Izumi, looked at Yun Zhong, and said lightly: "It's okay, passing by your courtyard, I remembered some trivial things to explain, so I turned in and took a look." ”
Yun Zhong was even more flattered when he heard this: "The Hou Ye has an order, just send someone to give an order, and the old slave will naturally come to you to receive the order to reply, why not let you come in person?" The old slave was terrified. ”
Yun Ci didn't say anything more, only said: "It's just that your yard is lively, so you don't have to be stubborn." ”
Boisterous? Yun Zhong glanced at his nephew, and then glanced at Xiu again. How can these two people, one silent and the other mute, be lively? Only this one thought, Yun Zhong had already understood, and then looked at Yun Ci's expressionless appearance, and his heart lit up.
I'm afraid that my nephew's marriage will not happen.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhong hurriedly replied to Yun Ci: "It's the old slave's fault that delayed the business in Huainan District...... The old slave will let his nephew return tomorrow. ”
When Yun Ci heard this, he said: "That being the case, today your uncle and nephew are good to talk, and Steward Yun will take a day off." ”
Yun Zhong sighed in his heart, not knowing whether Hou Ye's words were a reward or punishment, but he could only pretend not to know, and thanked him with a smile.
Seeing this, Yun Ci said again: "Bamboo Shadow, let's go." But he didn't say a word to Izuxiu, and he didn't look at it anymore.
Zhuying pushed Yun Ci back, wanting to give a look to Izumi and signal her to follow, but I didn't know that Izuku had been lowering her eyes, and Zhuying felt helpless, so she had to speak: "Izumi girl, the errand in Qingxinzhai has not been done yet." ”
Only then did Xiu come back to his senses, salute Yun Zhong, and followed out the door. Yun Zhong's family hurriedly followed out and watched the master and his party leave.
It wasn't until as far as the eye could see that the three of Yun Ci could no longer be seen, and the cloud manager said puzzledly: "Huh? Didn't Master Hou have something to do with you? Why did you leave again before you could say anything? ”
Yun Zhong glared at his own nephew fiercely: "You are very shrewd in accounting and managing things on weekdays, how can you be completely out of proportion now!" Can't see it yet? Your family business is yellow! Don't think about Xiu girl anymore! Hurry up and go back to Huainan tomorrow! ”
*****
Over there, Steward Yun was scolded by his uncle Yun Zhong; In this compartment, Izuku is still waiting for punishment. But the three masters and servants returned to Zhiyanxuan smoothly, and they didn't say a word on the way, and they didn't seem to be about to lose their temper, which made Xiu very tormented.
In the end, Izuku couldn't stand the dreary atmosphere, so she had to look at Zhuying earnestly and ask for help with her eyes.
How could the bamboo shadow just not see it, but put down the Xiu, and said to the clouds: "The master wants to go back to Qingxinzhai?" ”
Yun Ci said "um".
Hearing this, Izuku was in a hurry. Qingxinzhai is her errand, Zhuying asked Shiyun to resign and return to Qingxinzhai, making it clear that she was letting herself follow the past, isn't this self-defeating?
However, Yun Ci had already responded, and she didn't say anything to let Chu Xiu avoid it, so she had to follow silently.
After being speechless all the way, after entering Qingxinzhai, Zhuying pushed Yun Ci into the study as usual, and withdrew to guard the door. Izuku then entered, standing aside and waiting for Yun Ci's instructions.
The silence in the study was panicked, and Izuku quietly glanced at Yun Ci, and saw that he was still calm, and his whole body exuded a cold and cold air, which made people unconsciously awe. Even when facing the father and son of the Ming family in Chasing Hongyuan, Izumi had never seen Yun Ci like this.
It was cold at the beginning, but now it is cold.
Both of them have unparalleled temperament in the world, one is sitting and the other is standing, like a still painting, from the hands of the gods.
After a long time, Yun Ci took the lead in defeat, sighed helplessly, and asked Youyou, "Do you know it's wrong?" ”
Izuku nodded, and remembered that he was standing behind Yun Ci, and he must not be able to see it. Just as he was about to walk in front of Yun Ci, he seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and said: "If you know that you are wrong, you have to review it to show sincerity." ”
Yun Ci asked as he tapped the table with his right index finger, knocked twice, and then pointed to the cut paper on the table: "What are you doing wrong?" ”
Do you still want to make words to show introspection? Izuxiu couldn't cry or laugh, but after all, he didn't dare to disobey his master's intentions, so he hurriedly studied the ink, and wrote one stroke at a time: "The slave and maid should not leave Zhiyanxuan without permission during the duty time." ”
Yun Ci was even more displeased when he saw the words, and even his voice sank by two points: "When did you learn to call yourself a 'slave'?" ”
Izumi only felt that she had been wronged, and hurriedly wrote again: "The shallow rhyme and the light heart are all so self-proclaimed." ”
"They are them, you are you." Yun Ci scolded lightly, then turned back to the original topic, pointed to the words written on the paper, and asked her: "Leave Zhiyanxuan without permission?" Only this one is wrong? ”
Izuku thought about it seriously and wrote, "You shouldn't go to the cloud housekeeper." ”
"Is it a cloud butler? Or is it a cloud steward? Yun Ciruo asked unintentionally, although the tone was light, but it was not kind.
At this point, Izuku not only felt wronged, but also felt negative, and I didn't know where I got the courage, so I pursed my lips and wrote: "Why don't you tell me? ”
"Tell you what?" Yun Ci glanced at the paper, looked at her and asked.
How would she say that? Izuku bit her lower lip and wrote, "You knowingly asked!" ”
Yun Ci seemed to understand at this point: "You mean, Yun Zhong asked for his nephew's marriage?" ”
Izuku nodded.
Yun Ci was silent again, his good-looking side face and slightly frowning eyebrows made his whole person look angular and soft.
The two were speechless for a while, and after a long time, Yun Ci spoke again: "I asked you if you had seen him that day, and your words flickered. Now there is nothing to hide, you explain it clearly, how do you know him? ”
Out of Xiu had to roughly write down the causes and consequences of his acquaintance with Yun Guan that day on paper. Including meeting the second master Yunqi on the way back, he also mentioned it together, but he only concealed his indifferent accommodation to Yun Steward.
Yun Ci read this large paragraph on the paper, his face was a little better, and he still reprimanded: "You can be a man and sell favors to Yun Zhong behind my back?" ”
Out of Xiu knew that he was at the wrong first, and he had to accept this reprimand.
Yun Ci saw her aggrieved appearance, and her heart softened, but she wanted to tease her, so she pretended to have a straight face and asked her again: "What do you think about this marriage?" ”
Idea? Izumi was slightly stunned, and realized that Yun Ci was asking for his own opinion. At the moment, Yun Ci agreed? You must know that if the master disagrees, he directly refuses, so why ask himself? Izuku thought of Yun Ci's silence this morning, and thought that he had also considered it a lot.
For some reason, thinking of Yun Ci's attitude, Izuku only felt a slight sour in his heart, and there was an indescribable bitterness. She is not in love, nor is she ignorant, if she didn't understand what kind of feelings she had for Yun Ci before, then today after Yun Guan asked to marry, she has woken up like a dream.
This is very different from the mood he used to have with Helianzi. At the beginning, Helian Qi pursued passionately, and she responded generously, only as if he was her lover and a man who knew her and understood her;
And the cloud in front of her is her master, an unattainable nobleman, and a benefactor who takes her out of dire straits......
If she was still in the early days, she might have expressed something boldly and passionately, but now, she is out of Xiu.
There are some feelings, you can have them at the beginning of Han, but you must not have them when you go out. Her status is humble and her past is filthy......
In the final analysis, it was he who trespassed, and he should have kept his duties as a subordinate, but he paid too much attention to Yun Ci. Perhaps, this is an excellent opportunity to cut off your delusions in time.
That's it, after Helianqi, it was a luxury for her to find a man who didn't mind her past, and there was nothing wrong with staying together.
Yes, they only keep each other, and they don't know each other. If you don't have a bosom friend, how can you know each other? Her piano was sealed, and from now on, she will never play it easily for anyone, especially men.
Izuku finally laughed self-deprecatingly and went to look at Yun Ci. And the other party also looked at her expressionlessly, as if he was very serious.
Seeing this, Izuku sighed deeply in his heart, but made a smile on his face, and replied: "This family business is all up to you." ”
"What did you say?" As soon as the last word stopped, Yun Ci's face sank again, and he blurted out a rhetorical question.
At this time, Chuxiu had long since lost the courage to look at Yun Ci, and lowered his eyes to hide the sourness in his eyes.
It stands to reason that she is a slave and maid, and she is promised to the nephew of the housekeeper of Yunfu and the chief manager of the rice store in Huainan District, which is already her high climb. What's more, before coming to Yanlan City, it was Yun Ci who personally promised to find a family affair for her.
Moreover, Steward Fang Caiyun also said that he didn't care if she was perfect or not. It's just that it has affected Yun Ci and tarnished his reputation.
Thinking of this, Izumi forced herself to smile even brighter, and slowly wrote three words on the paper: "I do." ”
