Qing Zhu said with a smile: "Lord Huo can appreciate his face, it is an honor for our Xinghua Academy!" ”

Zheng Huanjie glanced at Qing Zhu speechlessly, thinking to herself why I didn't see you so sleek, so mercenary, and so eloquent, and when I saw the powerful, I immediately became possessed by a goblin!

Zheng Huanjie coughed lowly.

Qing Zhu immediately asked, "Girl, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Zheng Huanjie was tired: "It's a little hot, I want to go down, do you want to pick it up?" Let's come down if you don't pick it up, the two of us should be enough for one basket together. ”

She looked at Huo Yao again: "You can take this basket of apricots and eat them first." ”

"Well, I'll get it at noon."

Zheng Huanjie choked, and suddenly understood what he meant-

I'm going to eat at your place at noon, and I'll take it myself after eating.

Mother Kim came back a little before noon, and when she came back, she went straight to the kitchen and excitedly displayed the three dishes she had learned in the morning.

When she was cooking, Qing Candle went to Jingfeng Courtyard to invite Huo Yao.

Huo Yao took Huo Yi and swaggered towards the Xinghua Courtyard.

Zheng Huanjie sat in the boudoir, her palms clenched, and when she thought of having lunch with Huo Yao at the same table for a while, a lot of indescribable emotions rose in her heart.

In fact, she doesn't have to be like this, even if she invites Huo Yao, she doesn't have to sit at the same table with him.

Although Chen Dynasty's requirements for women are not strict, even if they are women, they can also worship the court as an official and can study at Nanshan College, but at the dinner table, men and women still pay attention to their personal boundaries.

Zheng Huanjie thought about it for a while, separated by a screen, let Huo Yao and Huo Yi sit outside, and she sat in the inner room with Qingzhu and Jin's mother, so that she could avoid the situation of sitting at the same table, and she didn't have to worry about anything wrong with herself.

made up her mind, Zheng Huanjie's unstable heart finally settled down.

Qing Zhu shouted outside: "Girl, Master Huo is here." ”

Zheng Huanjie stood up, involuntarily combed her hair, straightened her clothes again, and walked out.

In the courtyard, Huo Yao stood with his hands behind his back, there seemed to be a smile in his dark eyes, and when he saw Zheng Huanjie coming out, he opened his mouth and said, "I really like the apricot tree in your courtyard, why don't you put it under the apricot tree for lunch?" ”

Without waiting for Zheng Huanjie to speak or refuse, Huo Yao directly instructed Huo Yi: "Go and help the green candle girl move the tables and chairs out together and place them under the apricot tree." ”

After the order, he looked at Zheng Huanjie again and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't asked Miss Zheng's opinion yet, how does Miss Zheng think of eating out?" ”

Zheng Huanjie thought to herself, you have asked people to come into the house to move tables and chairs, what other opinions can I have, if you really want to ask my opinion, you will not ask first.

Zheng Huanjie was slightly annoyed, but it was not easy to have a seizure, her maid had already run in with Huo Yifei to move tables and chairs, could she still refuse?

I couldn't refuse, so I had to say: "Today is a special banquet for adults, and if adults want to eat outside, then they will eat outside." ”

The tables and chairs were all set, and Qing Zhu said, "Girl, I'll go to the kitchen to help Aunt Jin, and you are here to accompany Master Huo." ”

After saying that, he walked away.

Zheng Huanjie really has a feeling of deliberate blue candles.

Huo Yao said to Huo Yi: "You also go to help, don't let the two women be busy." ”

Huo Yi hurriedly followed, and shouted: "Green Candle Girl, I'll help you chop wood!" Where is the firewood, take me there. ”

Qing Zhu turned around, looked at Huo Yi who came over in surprise, and said, "How dare you bother your lord, today's firewood is enough." ”

Huo Yi approached her, his eyes scrutinizing.

Originally, he was going to say something, but when he thought that it was not far from the table, no matter what he said, the two of them could hear it, so he simply didn't say what he wanted to say, but said: "It's okay after all, if today's firewood is enough, then I will help you split tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and let me practice the basic skills." ”

Qing Zhu looked at him for a long time, and finally took him to the side courtyard.

Xinghuayuan is half the size of Zheng's mansion, and the side courtyard is on the side of Jingfeng Courtyard, which is very far away from Zheng Huanjie's main house.

The candle opened the wooden door of the warehouse and pointed to the wood inside:

"These are the woods we use to chop firewood, usually I and Aunt Jin are responsible for the day, just chop enough for a day, we have few people, and we don't use much, but even if it is less, Jin Jie and I have to be busy for half a day, tired and sweaty, and we have to rest for half a day after chopping, which is really tormenting. With the help of adults, we are a lot more relaxed, but it is a little reluctant to let adults do this kind of work. ”

As soon as Huo Yi walked to the door and looked inside, there was a small wall of wood in the room, and with this bit of wood, he could handle it all in less than a cup of tea.

He said lightly: "You invited my young master to come to Xinghuayuan as a guest on behalf of your girl, and left your girl alone to receive my young master, what kind of thoughts, you know, I know." ”
