The simple three words made Yun Ci's mood heavy again. He looked at Izumi, and for the first time his eyes were pierced by her alluring smile, and he was dumbfounded in this sentence of "I do".

Such lingering and beautiful three words, written through her white and slender fingers, made his heart clogged, and some words were like a fish in his throat.

Yun Ci deliberately didn't want to see Xiu's smile, silently calmed down for a long time, and then asked, "Eager to get married?" ”

Izuku shook his head, but unfortunately Yun Ci didn't see it.

"You said in Chasing Hongyuan that you wanted to find a good family for me." She forced herself to write.

Yun Ci looked at the words in front of him and said softly: "I said it." At the same time, he also remembered Shen Yu's question-"Are you sure it's pity?" And not pity? ”

"You taught me to settle accounts, and the template used happened to be the account book of the rice bank in Huainan District in previous years, and it was also considered to have its own providence in the dark. I can't speak, but at least I can help him run his business. Izumi explained to herself, and explained to Yun Ci like this.

Is there a providence in the dark? The clouds smacked slightly. If she just used the account books of the rice bank in Huainan District to teach her to settle accounts, it would be considered the will of heaven...... So what is he, a teacher?

"You think so much about yourself? A steward can match you? Yun Ci asked in a deep voice.

"It's me who climbed." Chu Xiu thought for a moment, and then wrote: "It is my luck that Yun Guan does not dislike me for having a disability. ”

"Disabled ......" seemed to be reminded of some memories by these two words, Yun Ci's face instantly turned pale, and he only felt a faint pain in his legs, reminding him not to easily involve anyone.

It was only after I wrote these words that I felt that I had lost my words. But the words spoken can be blown away by a gust of wind, but the words written cannot, and it must be an eye-catching obstacle when it is placed in front of Yun Ci.

Izumi subconsciously grabbed the piece of paper on which the words had been written, but as soon as Rou Yi stretched it out, someone reached out to stop her. Yun Ci's right hand lightly pressed the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Want to destroy the corpse? I'm not angry, why are you panicking? ”

At this moment, Xiu's expression had already become nervous, and her pale cheeks were almost bloodless, leaving only apprehension and self-blame. Her hand holding the pen trembled a little, and she wanted to confess or say something comforting, but she couldn't put pen to paper.

Yun Ci seemed to see what she was thinking, withdrew her right hand, and instead picked up the piece of paper on which she had written words, and said lightly: "What if you have a disability?" Your talent and hard work are one in a million, better than many people, so why bother to be presumptuous? ”

He finally couldn't help but look up at her, and saw the glittering luster in her autumn eyes, like a pool of autumn water, rippling with different ripples, like crying.

Yun Ci saw a lot in Izuxiu's eyes, forbearance, inferiority, suffering, self-abandonment, and even the disappointment and sadness of passing a thousand sails, which were undoubtedly revealed. This emotion also deeply infected him, making his heart flutter and tremble painfully.

Again, he looked at her with inexplicable eyes, and said the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Out of Xiu, do you have a hard time?" Still is...... What have you been through? ”

I already know the answer, but I still want to hear her answer in person.

Izumi was stunned by this question, lowering her eyes as if she was thinking and struggling.

"Do you have a hard time? Is it because he decided his life's events so hastily? Yun Ci took a piece of paper, put it in front of Chuxiu, and said to her very solemnly: "You can write it, I will read it, and I will keep it in mind." ”

As if he had been moved, he dipped the half-dried ink with his pen tremblingly. After a while, I made a great determination to put pen to paper. A drop of ink on the tip of the pen could not withstand the trembling of the person holding the pen, and it fell on the rice paper, and a ball of ink flowers bloomed.

The darkness was like a memory in her heart, cruel and unbearable.

Out of Xiu forced herself not to look at Yun Ci's clear eyes, and slowly wrote down four words: "There is no bitterness." ”

In an instant, the flowers on the other side bloomed and fell, and witnessing this dark cloud with my own eyes, I was inevitably lost. He found that Izumi was a woman who ate hard and did not eat soft, and it was better to speak softly and softly to her, otherwise she would just blindly escape, and would rather be wronged than refuse or resist.

Thinking of this, Yun Ci decided to interrupt the topic: "I don't agree with this marriage. ”

Disagree? There were tears in her eyes, and when she heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry.

"You deserve better, he doesn't deserve you." Yun Ci only said this, and then turned to smile and said: "I promise you half an hour's leave, go back and wash your face and come back to serve." The way you're now, I don't have the heart to deal with paperwork anymore. ”

Izuku couldn't catch up with Yun Ci's change of thought, and reacted for a moment before nodding. Is this a consecration? Then he asked her for a long time, what did he mean? Out of Xiu waved away those chaotic thoughts, and was ordered to withdraw from Qingxinzhai.

As soon as he reached the door, a young man in a scarlet shirt greeted him, looking anxious and walking in a hurry. Izuku didn't know his identity, so he took the initiative to step aside to make way out, and the man in scarlet clothes walked in front of Izuku without squinting and walked towards the study where Yun Ci was.

Izumi heard the bamboo shadow guarding outside and said, "Third master." Only then did she know that the man in scarlet clothes was Yun Xian.

*****

Half an hour later, Izuku had cleaned up and returned to Qingxinzhai. As soon as she entered the arch, she saw that the bamboo shadow was still guarding outside, and shook her head slightly. When Izumi came to her senses—there were people in the house, and it was inconvenient for her to enter.

So she stood in the midst of the garden. In April, the spring breeze is like a warm spring, and I enjoy the warm sunshine.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the room ended the conversation. The man in scarlet clothes walked out of the study quickly, and the bamboo shadow still called: "Third master." ”

Yun Xian looks at most seventeen or eighteen years old, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and a tall posture, but he has an old appearance that surpasses his peers. At this moment, he had a solemn look on his face, and when he saw Zhuying saluting him, he only said politely: "There is no need to send it." As he spoke, he walked briskly down the steps.

When passing by with Izuxiu, Yun Xian suddenly stopped, glanced at her, and asked thoughtfully, "Are you Izuxiu?" ”

If you've heard her name, you should know that she's a mute, right? Izuku bowed down and saluted, acquiescing to his identity.

Yun Xian's eyes did not show a look of surprise, but he said meaningfully: "No wonder...... In the future, don't wander around when you have nothing to do. ”

What's the wonder? Out of Xiuqing knew the meaning of these words, and remembered that the third master had relieved himself that day, so he leaned down and saluted again, this time, it was a thank-you.

Seeing this, Yun Xian only said "um", and then left without stopping.

It is undeniable that Yun Xian is the most deserving appearance of the children of the family in the eyes of Xiu. Good background, excellent cultivation, quiet and proud, neither harsh nor kind to his subordinates, always maintain a detached majesty.

It wasn't until he watched the corner of the scarlet robe disappear outside the arch that he retracted his thoughts and walked into the study. I saw Yun Ci frowning, and his slender fingers gently tapping on the table, which was a habit of thinking he had developed.

The arrival of Izumi did not disturb Yun Ci's train of thought, he thought about it for a long time before he looked at Exuxiu and said: "There is a plague in Fangzhou, it is very serious, and now King Mu has blocked the four gates of Yanlan City, isolating the displaced people, and the Yun family cannot sit idly by. ”

Izumi was taken aback when she heard this, there was a plague in Fangzhou? How could there be no warning? Although Fangzhou is like spring all year round, it is only the beginning of April, and it is not the hottest time of summer, so how can there be a plague?

Yun Ci did not explain the cause of the plague, but said: "Fangzhou is the feudal province of King Mu, this person was born in the army, and he has iron and blood, and in the long run, there will be more and more displaced people...... Youxiu, you follow me to see my mother. ”

Although Yun Ci's face was solemn at the moment, he was not panicked, but seemed very calm. Izumi knew that he must have a countermeasure, so he didn't bother to ask for details, and hurriedly pushed him with Zhuying to Mrs. Tai's garden, Rongjin Hall.

The last time I went out to see Mrs. Tai, it was in Yinxiang Drunken Moon Garden. At that time, she told herself that if she entered Mrs. Tai's garden one day, she would definitely enjoy the scenery and furnishings to be happy.

But she never thought that she was really lucky to come this time, but she had no intention of watching it, only thinking about the plague mentioned by Fang Cai Yunci, which actually had nothing to do with her, but what Yun Ci was worried about, she would not stay out of it.

Along the way, Yun Ci remained silent, and only when he was close to Rong Jintang did he instruct Izuku: "No matter what I say to my mother, you just have to take the order." The tone is still gentle, but not disobedient.

Izuku nodded and followed Yun Ci into Rongjin Hall.

After the death of the old marquis, Mrs. Tai presided over the affairs of Yunfu for more than ten years, and after countless winds and waves, she had already been unfazed. When she heard about the plague, she seemed unusually calm, took a sip of tea and asked Yun Ci, "What are your plans?" ”

Yun Ci replied without thinking: "I discussed with the third brother just now, and he came forward to preside over the soup kitchen, and I personally went to King Mu's mansion and asked King Mu's attitude before making plans." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded when she heard this: "After all, Fangzhou is the fiefdom of King Mu, so I should have asked him what he meant, but he is moody, so you should also pay attention to your words." ”

"Mother is relieved. If King Mu and we can't reach a consensus, I have my own way to bypass him. ”

Seeing Yun Ci's confident appearance, Mrs. Tai was very satisfied.

Izumi was listening to the conversation between the mother and son, and she was very emotional. I thought that the Xinhou Mansion had been prosperous for hundreds of years, relying on the wealth obtained from the shadow of the ancestors and business, but I didn't want to, I was so attentive to the people's feelings, not counting the soup porridge, but also personally rectifying the plague.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that if the Yun family, which had been standing for hundreds of years, was not popular with the people, how could it gather wealth in the world? It was she who had been immersed in the drunken flower building for too long, and took it for granted that Yunfu was equated with ordinary wealthy families. Only today did I know that the Yun family is virtuous.

This trip, Izumi asked himself in vain.

She was secretly sighing in her heart, and suddenly heard Yun Ci mention her name: "This trip to King Mu's Mansion will take about two or three days, and the bamboo shadow, light rhyme, and light heart will be on the side." It's inconvenient to go out, I want to take this opportunity to let her train here for two days. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiu was immediately stunned. It turned out that Yun Ci brought her here, and there was still this meaning! But why did you put yourself here with Mrs. Tai? Is it because you are worried that there is no one to protect you?

Chuxiu tried her best not to think about it, and secretly looked at Mrs. Tai again, only to see that the high Yunfu master mother was neither surprised nor hesitant, and naturally smiled and agreed: "It's okay, wait for you to come back and ask for someone." ”

In a word, the whereabouts of Izumi were decided. She hurriedly saluted Mrs. Tai and thanked her, and when she got up again, she heard Yun Ci say to herself: "You will come and serve tonight." After that, he said to Zhuying: "You also go back first." ”

In Mrs. Tai's garden, there is no need to worry about anything wrong with Yun Ci. Bamboo Shadow and Izuku were ordered to retire at the same time.

Seeing that everyone was out of the house, Yun Cicai opened his mouth again and said to Mrs. Tai: "Mother Lao is bothered...... It's just that I don't want anything to reach her ears. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai brushed the tea foam on the lid of the cup, then raised her eyes to look at Yun Ci, and said unhurriedly: "She is a maid, what can she say?" Even if there was something to say, she was not qualified to listen. ”
