Su Yao understood that Wei Jingji mentioned the past at this time to evoke her memories, and it was true that she didn't want to be fooled, but she couldn't help but think about his goodness.

After so many years of love, it can't be erased overnight.

She sighed lightly, a little uncomfortable, and said, "The bridge in front is broken, we can't walk, let's go back to the villa." ”

The gloom between Wei Jingji's eyebrows finally dispersed, and he responded, "Okay." ”

————

Su Yao continued to go back to the villa to live, the villagers were all dead slaves from the eldest princess's mansion, and they never chewed the root of their tongues, and they kept a deep secret about the identity of the young man who suddenly moved into a certain courtyard, and waited with their eyes and nose and heart.

On the third day of coming to the villa, Su Yao received a letter from the eldest princess.

She fed some rice to the carrier pigeon, and twisted one from the tender pomegranate next to it and sent it to him.

Seeing how happy it was eating, Su Yao asked casually: "Which tree did this pomegranate grow from and grow so well?" ”

Bai Lu said: "The cook said that it was picked outside, there is an old pomegranate tree on the mountain, it is said that it has been for hundreds of years, and the fruit can relieve cough, you have to think it is delicious and then order someone to pick it." ”

Su Yao nodded, there were also many pomegranate trees planted in the Zhuangzi, and she thought they were picked from inside.

replied to the eldest princess, and Bai Shiyi presented another letter from his aunt.

The letter said that she had already known that she had agreed to Duan Rin's marriage proposal, and had also communicated with several of her uncles, and that she was about to set a date for accepting the lottery, and she didn't know why she wanted to postpone the marriage, hoping that she would give her an answer.

Chapter 23

The paper and ink were ready, Su Yao carried the pen, and at noon she wrote a few words, and after a glance, she lowered her eyelashes, crumpled the letter paper, and threw it into the paper basket.

She just wants someone in this world to be like her father and mother, brother and sister, who can accompany her and cherish each other.

Wei Jingji wanted to marry the crown princess, she didn't think much about it before, she just thought that it would be good if she married her sweetheart, but now that she thinks about her aunt and Ru An, she wants her to live in the deep palace for a long time and wait for his arrival with other nobles, can she really live like that?

Even if there is love, I don't know that it will not be like a saint successively, and young couples will be tired of it.

Therefore, she really wanted to marry Duan Rin.

Judging from the recent situation, if she really marries Duan Rin, it means that the relationship between her and Wei Jingji is completely broken. If he goes back on his word, it will also hurt his aunt and Duan Rin's hearts.

In a dilemma, Su Yao didn't know how to write, so he simply pushed the door and went out for a walk.

At this time, it is the time of the noon break, the village is full of flowers, unknown purple flower bones attract bees and butterflies to play, in the pavilion, under the tall red pillars sit a few maids, are around a little girl wearing a light blue scattered flower skirt talking and laughing.

"You have fine skin and tender meat, but it's really like what the book says, the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River raise people!"

The little girl smiled: "The water and soil in the south of our Yangtze River can not only raise people, go up the mountain to pick tea in the daytime, a piece of green, like a mushroom covered with green silk cloth, the small bridge and flowing water in the spring, all things recover, the banyan tree in the summer, the dragon boat is more than catching fish, hunting and picking fruits in the autumn, making wine in the winter to make up for the winter, a large table of friends gather around the brazier to bake the fire to keep warm, it is not the same every year, and there are many fun things!" ”

Su Yao unconsciously slowed down to listen, but she didn't expect someone to see her.

Everyone in the Zhuangzi knew Su Yao, but this little girl had just come in, and she was stunned for a second when she saw Su Yao.

The girl in front of her is the same age as her, her facial features are beautiful, her full chest like a jade rabbit is white and greasy like clotted fat, and a circle of jewels in the sun rises and falls lightly with her breathing, and even the white jade handle holding the fan is not as good as her snow-like complexion.

She immediately followed the crowd and saluted Su Yao: "I have seen the county lord." ”

Su Yao let them get up and continued to say that they don't have to worry about her, but how dare these people make a mistake, they were all silent for a while.

She had no choice but to go into the gazebo, tell them all to sit down, and then look at the little girl, and raise the corners of her lips curiously.

"What's your name?"

The little girl replied: "Bamboo." ”

"What an elegant name, sure enough, people are as good as their name." Su Yao said sincerely, the little girl in front of her was not just a tall green bamboo, vibrant, and different from all the girls of the same age she had ever seen.

There are only two kinds of peers in contact with her, one is a noble girl of a family, and the other is a slave and a maid, and she has never seen someone who looks as free and unrestrained as a bamboo.

Zhu'er just came to the villa to deliver crops, and when she saw Su Yao's soft and soft voice, and she was not formal, such a fairy-like character praised her for her good name, so she smiled immediately.

She smiled: "Yes, my hometown is in a mountain in Wuzhou, my father said that before I was born, there were piles of bamboo rats on the mountain, and the tender bamboo was eaten as soon as it grows, I was born prematurely, weak and sick, and there was no money and food at home, but suddenly a bamboo rat sent a bamboo shoot to my house, and then sent it every day, until I got better, county lord, you say it's not strange?" ”

Su Yao had never heard of such an interesting story, so he nodded.

"Yes, my father also thinks it is strange, and the villagers also think it is strange, so they all say that I was a bamboo rat spirit in my previous life, and I am a family with bamboo rats in the mountains, so I gave this name, and I hope that I will have fresh bamboo shoots to eat every day in my life!"

Halfway through Zhu'er's words, a group of people laughed, and Su Yao also laughed, smiling and smiling, and suddenly had a trace of yearning for Jiangnan who had never met before.

If she didn't choose to go back to Beijing with Wei Jingji that day, but stayed in Jiangnan to live a free life, would she be able to live well without love?

Gossip for a long time.

When Su Yao went back to her room to take a nap, she had a dream, in which she and a group of friends were cooking wine in the snow, there was no high wall, and no one taught her to eat and sleep without speaking, and the laughter seemed to be still echoing in her ears until she woke up.

After getting up at noon, Su Yao replied to her aunt, and the words on the letter slightly polished what she had said to Duan Rin.

Although Wei Jingji promised her that he would not force her to do what she did not want, and she had been very quiet for the past two days, what he said to her made her sleep and food difficult for several days, and she had left a shadow, and she was really worried that if he regretted it in the future, she would hurt her aunt and aunt if she insisted on marrying into the Duan family.

After hesitating for a long time, she added that if her uncle and aunt were in a hurry, she could also choose to see other girls.

If she marries anyone, it will hurt people, so if she doesn't marry in this life, wouldn't it be good?

As soon as this idea came out, Su Yao himself was shocked for a moment, and immediately dispelled this idea.

……

Wei Jingji didn't go to look for Su Yao for the past two days, but he was sick because of the rain.

Seeing that day she was in a hurry, the guards only brought two, afraid that something would happen to her on the road, so they only took the coat and rode to chase it, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and after a while, the coat was blown away, and only the straw hat on the top of the head remained.

I traveled for half an hour in the rainstorm, and when I came back, I lost my robe and shared a car with Su Yao. At night, and he took a cold shower at night, so he began to have a fever the next night.

When people are sick, they think more, and Wei Jingji is no exception.

Su Yao has been pestering him since he was a child, he took her to swim in the lake to release paper kites, boating, if he was sick, she was more anxious than him, seeing that he was hurt by a little injury, this is not a bit of a cold, it can probably make her cry, and then he fed him medicine in distress.

But she didn't even ask him if he wanted to dry his hair in the carriage that day.

He did have some intentions to prove something, while hoping that she would find out, hoping to get her attention, but on the other hand, he felt that he was naïve, contradictory all the way, and made himself sick.

Wei Jingji's eyes darkened.

He couldn't help but wonder what if she didn't say angry words.

What if she really likes Rin?

Then she won't care about him anymore.

Thinking of this, Wei Jingji covered his lips and coughed a few times, sat up from the bed, took the sword and went out.

——

After recuperating in the villa for a while, Su Yao's body gradually recovered, only a little cough, and her aunt's letter took two days to reply, and a large part of it was to appease her, telling her not to worry, they would not show Duan Rin the girl again, and said that if Duan Rin was in a hurry, she agreed to ask for a kiss, and she didn't have to worry about him.

Su Yao didn't expect her aunt's attitude to be so resolute, she sometimes thought that she would just ignore the marriage and forget it, and discuss the future later.

But there is always a sense of foreboding in my heart.

The next day after receiving the reply, Duan Rin came to Zhuangzi again, Su Yao was embroidering in the pavilion at that time, and Zhu'er painted a kind of flower unique to the south of the Yangtze River, a flower that grows on a tree, called Panzhihua, so she moved the embroidery shed and embroidered to pass the time.

Duan Rin was brought by Bai Shiyi, dressed in a green shirt and elegant and extraordinary, and said with a heartfelt smile: "Today's complexion looks good. ”

Su Yao put down the needle, greeted him, and called someone to bring tea, and Duan Rin sat in the position closest to her, but she didn't look offended.

Seeing a chessboard on the table, Duan Rin asked, "Are you playing chess with the same people?"

Su Yao hummed, put away the chess pieces, black to black, white to white, "Play by yourself and yourself, just to relieve your boredom." ”

"What do you put away, let's do the next game." He stopped her, took the black bowl of chess pieces in front of him, and said with a smile: "I heard my father say that the master who taught you said that you are good at chess, and few of your comrades can beat you." ”

Su Yao embarrassedly grabbed the chess pieces and let go, and the sound of carrying sounded in the pavilion, "Don't take it seriously, the master will praise when he sees people, and the wild dogs on the side of the road will run in front of him, and he will praise a good dog." ”

Duan Rin smiled, and after laughing, he coughed lightly.

……

Wei Jingji received Liang Yuan's letter, there were new clues in the military salary case, and he was going to rush back to the East Palace today, before leaving, he wanted to come to see Su Yao, holding a few pomegranates in his hand.

When he returned to the villa that day, he remembered that there was an old pomegranate tree on the mountain, the pomegranate quenched his thirst, and it was quite suitable to eat with the wind and cold, so he went to look for it the next day, and picked a few by the way, and heard that she loved to eat, but the summer was scorching, and the pomegranate could not be kept for long, so he got up early to pick the fresh one, and I don't know if it was because of this, the little wind and cold were not good.

Now he had just picked it up, and because he was about to leave, he didn't give it to the guards again, but brought it himself.

After passing the Hanging Flower Gate, Wei Jing coughed lightly, and unexpectedly heard a man's laughter, and instantly froze.

Duan Rin coughed before he finished laughing, Su Yao immediately let go, and let Bai Zi fall into the chess bowl with a bang, and the two thin eyebrows were slightly closer, "What's wrong?" Isn't it cold? ”

Duan Rin said helplessly: "The weather has been unpredictable in recent days, it is cold for a while and hot for a while, and I don't know when I started coughing." ”

Su Yao asked, "Have you ever asked the doctor to take a look?" ”

"Well," Duan Rin's heart warmed slightly, "I came here after drinking the medicine, you don't have to be so close to me, so as not to make you sick." ”

"We're both sick, why can't we get closer?"

Duan Rin was about to speak, and suddenly a slightly cool touch was attached to his forehead, as delicate and soft as ice cheese, and he realized that it was Su Yao's hand.

Su Yao quickly touched his forehead, then withdrew her hand, and looked up from Duan Rin's angle, the tip of the girl's chin was very delicate, and when she commanded someone, she showed snow-white teeth, her lips were red, and her eyes seemed to have a faint light.

"You go and tell the kitchen to make two warm-up soups, just the ones I ate two days ago, and then go to the kitchen, and let them pick some pomegranates again, so that my second cousin can take them back and eat them."

As she spoke, she stuffed her hand stove into Duan Rin's hand, and said to Bai Lu: "You don't need to prepare the ice cheese, he can't eat it, go get a big one, it's darker." ”

Duan Rin saw that Su Yao was busy with him seriously, his eyes became softer and softer, he unconsciously raised his hand, held her wrist through his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's just that the wind is blowing cold, you don't have to be so excited." ”

Su Yao looked at him disapprovingly, "It's windy on the mountain, you just wear this to see me, if you are sick, how do you tell me to go in my heart?" ”

Duan Rin smiled and asked, "Worried about me?" ”

Su Yao didn't realize how close the two were now, because he grabbed her wrist, she couldn't help but lean over to talk to him, and even the fragrance on her body was wrapped around his nose.

"Naturally worried."

Duan Rin smiled: "You don't have to worry, I have to worry." ”

Su Yao asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Duan Rin didn't reply, and after a while, he spoke: "I'm worried about whether I'm doing something bad." ”

made her dare not marry him.
