"And how did he react?" Jiang Shu pondered for a while and asked softly.

"He said that he was just a small head of the Ministry of Rites, and he was not worthy of me at all, so I should not look for him again in the future." Zhu Xuanrao raised the embroidered handkerchief in her hand again and wiped the tears on her cheeks.

"What did the county lord say?" Jiang Shu then asked.

"I ......" Zhu Xuanrao hesitated for a moment and continued to choke up, "I told him, I don't care about this, what I like is him, and the more I come into contact with him, the more I like it." ”

"That'...... Brother Fengzhi ......"

"He said he didn't like me and told me not to look for him again in the future." Thinking of Ye Fengzhi's resolute appearance when he spoke not long ago, Zhu Xuanrao's heart was sour, and her tears suddenly looked like beads with broken threads, "He also said that he was friendly to me, that was politeness, it was etiquette, he would be like that to everyone he didn't know, and then he left me and walked back." Third sister-in-law, you say, what should I do? ”

"Don't worry," Jiang Shu raised his hand and patted her arm, and said after a moment of silence, "Do you think he really doesn't like you, or is he unwilling to climb high?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Xuanrao shook her head gently.

After a pause, he took her hand again, and said expectantly: "Third sister-in-law, you said you would help me that day, right?" ”

"Well," Jiang Shu nodded slightly, "I'll go to Yuanxiangtang later and ask him for you to see what he means." ”

"Thank you, third sister-in-law." Zhu Xuanrao's tear-stained face immediately showed a look of gratitude.

Jiang Shu waved his hand slowly, indicating that it was nothing, looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, you go back first, it's too late, it's not safe on the road." Tomorrow is the day of Brother Feng's retirement, he should be at home, and you will come back then. ”

"Okay, third sister-in-law, then I'll go back first." What he wanted to say had already been said, and Zhu Xuanrao also felt that there was no point in continuing to stay in the Ye Mansion at this time, nodded lightly, turned around and walked outside.

Out of the courtyard gate, through the lush flowers and trees to leave the area near Qingran Pavilion, Zhu Xuanrao originally planned to turn around next to the rockery in front of her, along the nearest route out of Ye Mansion, inadvertently looked up, but saw a few feet away from the opposite side, Ye Xiyan wore a light purple placket and waist short jacket, light cyan embroidered magnolia pleated long skirt, and a light Luo embroidered handkerchief, unhurriedly.

She was so embarrassed at the moment, Zhu Xuanrao didn't want to take a look at her, and when she saw that there was a southwest-trending fork nearby, she didn't care if she would take a long detour, so she quickly walked over there and turned a corner.

However, just a few steps away, there was still an evasive voice behind him: "County Lord, please stay." ”

In this case, it is no longer appropriate to continue walking as if no one is around, Zhu Xuanrao stopped slightly, turned around, and glared at her coldly: "What's the matter?" ”

Ye Xi shook his pace and walked closer, saw her red and swollen eyes, his eyes moved, and he said straight to the point: "Does the county lord like my brother Fengzhi?" ”

In the past ten days, this county lord of Huaishu has sent Ye Fengzhi back every evening, and has flattered him in every way as a lowly person, but she really sees it.

"Yes and what? It's up to you to take care of it! Being rejected by Ye Fengzhi, Zhu Xuanrao was in a bad mood, and when she met someone she didn't like, she naturally wouldn't have any good tone.

"Brother Ke Feng doesn't like the county lord, does he?" Ye Xiyan didn't mind her bad attitude, and continued.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xuanrao's face changed instantly, "Come and see the joke of the county lord, right?" ”

"How come," Ye Xi waved his hand hurriedly, "How dare Xi Shao look at the county lord's jokes, Xi Shao just wanted to kindly remind the county lord that Brother Feng Zhi already has a sweetheart, and no matter how good the county lord is to him, he is afraid that he will be infatuated." ”
