Chapter 25 --- note

Peach also laughed and responded, "That's right! Yes! Sometimes it really seems! On the other hand, there is a world of difference..."

The maid smiled happily in the previous sentence, and immediately retracted her smile in the latter sentence.

Qinglian also lost her smile and lowered her face coldly.

Then they stopped talking.

The last "he" in the mouths of the two is undoubtedly Lu Zhi.

Yan Xi didn't interject.

After the bath, she lay on the bed, thinking about the dream, and now it was really difficult, she walked as if she was blindfolded, and she really didn't know which direction was right.

Thinking like this, his eyes fell on the veil, and under the candlelight, he looked blurry and hazy, and the beauty of noon appeared in front of him.

She remembered the man.

His face instantly became hot again, and Yan Xi slowly turned his back and forcibly cut off his memory.

The next day, on the seventh day of the lunar month, the longevity festival of the dynasty, the thirty-first birthday of Emperor Li Yin.

All officials and ministers rested for three days.

Naturally, on the first day, the three products went up, and all the major officials gathered in the palace to celebrate Li Yin's birthday, and there were many foreign envoys who came to congratulate him, and the entire Chang'an City was bathed in a joyful atmosphere.

Lu Boling and Lu Zhi's father and son left the house very early.

After breakfast, Yan Xi got good news.

The news came from Lu Zhi's personal servant Dongfu, telling her that she could send a maid to visit Atai.

After the discussion, Qinglian dressed up and went happily.

After more than an hour, people came back and told Yan Xi everything.

"Atai was imprisoned elsewhere, in a firewood house in the prince's courtyard. Miss don't worry, the new place is alone, the mats and quilts are complete, the food and drink are also good, Atai has a good body, he said that he can stand it, let Miss take care of herself. ”

Yan Xi listened to it and breathed a sigh of relief.

She secretly calculated, and it was one day closer to the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Her heart trembled, and sometimes she was terrified just thinking about it.

She didn't see the man again that day, but she did.

The Lu family is big, wealthy, squandering money, there are countless beautiful houses on good land, and the mansion left by this ancestor is extremely luxurious.

Every year in the depths of winter, the West Garden will carve ice sculptures, hang ice lanterns, and match the snow scene with red plums for people to watch.

On this day, the rest of the bath, the people are complete, and it coincides with the ice sculpture is properly built, and there is nothing to do, so the Duchess also chose this day to gather the big guys to enjoy the lanterns after dinner and see a fresh.

Before it was dark at dusk, the girls, sons, ladies and aunts of each room gathered here.

Yan Xi didn't want to go, but she was afraid that Lu Zhi would come.

After all, he dared to enter her room at noon, and after dark, everyone gathered in Xiyuan, and he was afraid that he would be even more unscrupulous and fearless.

After thinking about it like this, the little girl didn't hesitate at all, so she dressed up early and came to this West Garden.

There are quite a lot of people, Yan Xi is not very familiar with anyone, only a shallow greeting, and chatting with people casually.

It didn't take long for the man to appear.

I didn't want to pay attention to it and couldn't ignore it, as soon as he arrived, he sucked out many pairs of eyes, including Yan Xi.

The handmaid tugged at her sleeve.

The little girl's heart was beating wildly, as if there was no second reaction, so she directly moved her jade feet and went to a "refuge" with the most people on the side.

She couldn't interject, she also pretended to listen to everyone's chatter, sometimes others laughed, she also followed, her beautiful eyes were clear, and her little eyes were pure and pure.

However, the surface is no different, and the heart has begun to churn.

Gradually, the night fell, and the half-moon rose into the sky.

The huge ice lanterns resemble vines, and the colorful lights are like fireworks that will never go out.

Girls, sons, ladies and gentlemen are all in a good mood, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, and whispering in appreciation.

Yan Xi also lost her mind for a moment, but just as she was fascinated, a maidservant girl behind her patted her.

"Miss Yan Xi..."

The little girl was slightly startled and came back to her senses.

She turned her head, the person behind her was no stranger, she had been to Taoxiang Pavilion to deliver soup, and it was Lu Zhi's person.

The person who saw him was no different from seeing him, Yan Xi didn't think it would be a good thing.

Sure enough, the maidservant whispered: "The prince asked Miss Yan Xi to go over there." ”

Yan Xi followed the direction indicated by her eyes, and realized that he was asking her to go to a place where no one was.

The little girl didn't answer, but turned back urgently.

After coming back, he naturally raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Zhi in the distance.

The man grimaced with a cold face and gestured slightly, although he was speechless, the meaning of the order and the warning were clear.

Yan Xi's heart beat even harder, and finally lowered his head slightly, stiffened his head, and obediently walked in the direction he showed as he wished.

From time to time when he came to the place and stopped, he saw the man slowly and leisurely, and after a while he came to her side.

Yan Xi instinctively pressed.

The two of them stood side by side, one big and one small, looking in the same direction, there was no shortage of people looking in this direction, but the two of them were both people in the big house after all, and they were about to become brothers and sisters.

There was no one else around, except for Qinglian Taohong, the two maidservants, but even so, Yan Xi was still scared, and unconsciously clenched his hands slightly.

Lu Zhi said in a cool voice, his thin lips only opened slightly, and his tone was cold: "Are you looking for death?" ”

Yan Xi knew that what he said was that she deliberately avoided him, and immediately said obediently: "There are too many people, I... I'm afraid people will find out. ”

Lu Zhi continued: "Who can find out? ”

Yan Xi didn't know, she was just scared.

The man was condescending, took off his finger and slowly wiped it with a handkerchief, slowly and calmly, and ordered in a cold voice:

"If you see me again in the future, don't hide again, do you hear?"

Yan Xi was controlled by others, and responded very obediently: "Hmm." ”

At this time, I heard him change the topic and talk about something else.

"Someone saw it?"

Yan Xi knew that he was talking about Atai, and also nodded: "Hmm." ”

Lu Zhi let out a "heh", took the wiped wrench finger to his eyes, looked at it with deep peach blossom eyes, and said:

"You're nice to him!"

Yan Xi replied: "We grew up together, he is the son of my nurse..."

The man continued: "Oh, then you are good to the person with whom you grew up! ”

The voice was as cold as ice.

Yan Xi's hand clenched tighter and tighter, feeling that he was a little strange, I don't know why he kept saying this, and I don't know where he said the wrong thing.

As he paused, he heard another voice overhead.

"Come out at noon tomorrow, East Chang'an Street, Wenjia Cloth Shop, I will send someone to pick you up."

Yan Xi's heart suddenly jumped fast, her delicate lips moved slightly, and she immediately said, "No." ”

Her voice was so small that it was almost inaudible, but it was categorical.

She naturally knew that he had asked her to go out and do something, and her face turned red all of a sudden, but fortunately she was wearing a coat and hat, and it was dark, and others couldn't look at it carefully.

"I don't want to go..."

Lu Zhi didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time, he finally put the wrench back on his hand, sneered lightly, and said with a little provocation: "You say, I like it very much, look at your reluctant appearance, what should I do?" ”

Yan Xi pinched her softness even tighter: "You... Don't deceive others too much..."

"Oh."

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, looking very indifferent.

Her voice is delicate and glutinous, and she is soft and deceitful, and the more he looks at it, the more itchy his heart becomes.

Yan Xi no longer dared to look at him, let alone speak, for fear that he would mention this matter again.

Fortunately, there was no follow-up, and from time to time he took his hand and changed the subject.

"Under the fourth peach tree on the left in the back garden of your pavilion, I put something and go back to do it."

Yan Xi was slightly startled, but he seemed to understand a little, and he didn't say anything more, and responded.

After a while, the moonlight was obscured, the cold wind rose, and the sky began to slowly fall in the snow, and it was at this moment that the voice of the Duchess came.

"It's cold, look at the snow, you can't stay outside for a long time, so everyone will disperse."

Everyone responded, and from time to time they all came out of the West Garden one after another.

Yan Xi also moved slowly, and he was stunned in his heart, afraid that the topic of his suitability would not end.

He was right next to her, and sometimes her body rubbed against him.

She was scared and cowardly, like a child who had done bad things, and she had a ghost in her heart, for fear that people would see the abnormality of the two of them.

Shao leaned, and finally got out of the West Garden, Yan Xi found a cousin who lived in the West Garden, walked quickly to her side and walked with people, and no longer dared to look at the man, and went back to the dormitory without looking back all the way.

When she got the place, she went to the backyard herself, and her eyes were fixed on the fourth peach tree that the man had said, and she called the maidservant.

"Look there, but is there anything?"

Qinglian Peach responded and both went.

Yan Xi kept looking, and the maid didn't look for long before she found something next to a stone.

The two of them picked it up and took it back, and Yan Xi took it, but behold, it was a brocade bag.

She put it in her sleeve and went back to her room.

After entering the house, Yan Xi opened it for the first time, and there were only two things in the brocade bag.

A gold bracelet, a note.

The note was concise and clearly written: "Within five days, go out of the house at the back door, hire a car to enter the market, and Chengkang should be done, and it should be gone." ””

Yan Xi was slightly stunned after reading it, and rubbed off the note, not knowing.

The two maidservants were also puzzled.

Peach asked, "Miss, what does he mean by that?" ”

Yan Xi shook his head and didn't think deeply.

But don't think about it, she can generally understand it, and it has something to do with him taking her away.

That's all there is to it.

At night, lying on the bed, the little girl's eyes blinked slowly, and she secretly hid the crumpled note under the mattress......
