Chapter 111: Keeping the Heart
Zhou Yi looked at the girl and asked coldly: "It's not that the people of the Yu family have never been here, why are you so flustered, ah!" Zhou Yi walked up to her, clenched her fists and shouted, so frightened that the girl was fighting up and down like chaff, knelt in front of him with a plop, kowtowed and shouted, "Please spare your life!"
Zhou Yi didn't have the slightest sign of relenting, stared at her and said, "Spare your life?" and then sneered, "You say, what mistake did you make, and you need me to punish you with the death penalty?"
The girl was dumbfounded, frightened by him, as if every word he said would be caught by him until all the secrets were exposed. In front of Zhong Yu and the magpie, she naturally didn't dare to say much, but Zhou Yi forced her to ask her in person and had to answer, so in a hurry, she wiped her tears with a confused look.
Zhong Yu was on fire in her heart, but she couldn't favor and protect her at this time, so she could only be secretly annoyed. The magpie's eyes rolled sharply, and he hurriedly stepped forward to reply to Zhou Yi: "Childe, please don't question her like this, I told her to pay attention to the movements of Wuxiangshan, if there is any offense in the heart, Childe reprimands me, this has nothing to do with her!" When he spoke, he looked sideways at Zhong Yu behind him, as if he was carrying the blame for her.
"Oh?" Zhou Yi raised his head, and his cold eyes fell directly on the magpie's calm face. "Then you should tell me, why? The people of the Yu family came to the door, and they had their own master and father to deal with them, when did you start worrying about things on the mountain?"
The magpie was unflustered, knelt on the ground with low eyebrows, did not raise his head to look at him, and said earnestly: "There are some things that I don't need to say, and the son also knows." The magpie knew that his behavior was uncivilized, which made the girl of the Yu family very unhappy, and I have nothing to say about this. However, the two families of Zhou Yu are world friends, and the frankness between Gongzi and Miss Yu is the basis for a good relationship between the two families. But because of me, the gap between Childe and Miss Yu seems to have always existed, which also makes Magpie feel sorry and have to be terrified. That's why I asked her to inquire about Miss Yu's news, and fortunately, before she went up the mountain to see Gongzi, I told her all the words that I was holding in my heart, hoping to resolve the conflict between you. ”
Zhou Yi listened, didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes swept over the faces of the girl and the magpie in turn. After a stalemate, he suddenly laughed, "Since that's the case, then I'll make a decision for Miss Yu." ”
With that, he turned around and walked away.
The girl was already scared, but Zhou Yi was lecturing her at that time, and she always had a breath in her heart. As soon as Zhou Yi went out, the girl sat on the ground with a limp body, crawled in front of Zhong Yu, hugged her legs and cried: "I didn't see the son come back, please forgive the girl!"
Zhong Yu looked blank, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed: "Go out, so as not to spoil my business again." When the girl heard that she was relieved, as if she had received an arrow of forgiveness, she kowtowed, and withdrew with a cower.
The magpie didn't dare to answer her words for a long time, her heart was as cold as ice, thinking that the chess game she had painstakingly managed with the man in black had originally thought that the general trend was in hand, and she could be a ruler in this game. didn't expect Zhou Yi's sudden arrival, a few words, to make the current situation instantly tilt to his side, as far as this game is concerned, it can really be said that it is anti-guest-oriented. This reminded her of what the man in black told her before leaving, it seems that Zhou Yi should not be underestimated. Thinking of this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhong Yu to apologize, but he didn't say a word.
On the same day, Yu Qian led a group of disciples to Baihe Mountain, and as a junior, he came to show Zhou Shiya's moral fame, and Yu Xi was naturally in the accompanying team. However, when Zhou Yi rushed over, his parents had already led Yu Qian and others to worship the spiritual seat of Shiya, so Zhou Yi did not see Yu Xi directly. He was worried in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak to Yu Xi again, so he hesitated for a while, walked back silently, took a detour, and went straight to Furong Stream to relax.
Unexpectedly, in the group of white cranes with lotus leaves, Yu Xi was sitting on the boat in a silent daze, with his hands on his cheeks and his long eyelashes flying.
Zhou Yi hurriedly hid behind the shade of the tree, and originally rehearsed the scene of meeting her again countless times by himself, but when he really arrived in front of him, he made him stop talking.
He was hesitating, and suddenly heard Yu Xi vaguely complain, "I've been waiting for so long, why haven't I seen her coming?" So I got bold and wanted to go over and talk to her.
However, as soon as he was about to call out Yu Xi's name, he saw a person running on the path on the other side of the Furong Stream, shouting Yu Xi in a clear tone, and it was Murong Xue if he looked closely. Yu Xi smiled, shook the oars, and stopped on the shore in a fluttering manner, holding hands with her and greeting her.
In this way, Zhou Yiyi's face was red, his hands were touching his chest, he let out a long breath, and then stood in the shade of the tree to see the two of her laughing, and never dared to come out again.
Yu Xi came to Baihe Mountain this time, not to worship Zhou Shiya with her father, but to remember her friendship with Murong Xue, and specially came to say goodbye to her. After she went home this time, Yu Qian pampered her in every way, changing from the strict and old-fashioned in the past, and Yu Xi had mixed feelings about it. Moreover, her grandfather was very old, and he was recently saddened by the desolation of Zhou Shiya's later years, and Yu Xi felt guilty, so she had plans to stay in Wuxiang Mountain from now on and accompany her grandfather and father to enjoy a peaceful family. Butterfly
Murong Xue is a sentimental person, and when she heard her say this, she couldn't help but cry, "If you don't come over again, can we meet again in the future?"
Yu Xi smiled sadly and persuaded: "The world is impermanent, but it is full of hope, how can you say goodbye and never see each other again? Speaking of this, she had an idea and smiled happily: "Anyway, Brother Sima has no intention of going back for the time being, otherwise, you will come with me today, right?"
Murong Xue pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't work today." ”
"Why?"
"Today is almost the middle of February, there is less than a month to go, it is Mrs. Zhou's birthday, just now Miss Yun and I are still talking about this, this year is her first birthday back, so everyone is thinking about ideas, hoping to give her a special and unforgettable birthday memory. Speaking of this, Murong Xue pursed her lips and pondered with her eyebrows. It takes a lot of thought to give her a memorable birthday at this time.
"When is Mrs. Zhou's birthday?" asked Yu Xi in surprise.
"On the eighth day of the third month, there are still more than 20 days left, and I am sad to death. People know more or less about her preferences, but I still don't know what kind of gift to give. ”
Yu Xi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Giving gifts depends on your heart, congratulatory gifts are not valuable, but you have to do what you like, as long as you think like this, it will be bad after all." ”
Murong Xue frowned, took her hand and muttered, "To put it simply, I don't know her as well as you, so you better give me some advice." ”
Yu Xi said: "What's so difficult about this, before Mrs. Zhou apprenticed, she was a wine-making girl in a farmer's workshop. Now that she is the housewife here, food and clothing are no longer a problem, but all she thinks about in her heart is those drinks and meals that can remind her of the old days. She loves to drink hibiscus drunk with lotus flowers and lotus seeds, and my sister can brew a few jars of wine in advance, and when it comes to Madame's birthday banquet, it will be a famous wine!"
Murong Xueden smiled happily, pulled the corners of her clothes with both hands, shook her a few times, and had a pleading look on her face, "Clever Sister Yu, you can stay and make wine with me, can you help me?" Besides, everyone knows how much Mrs. Zhou loves you, since everyone is here this year, how can you not come for her birthday?"
Yu Xi's expression was blank, his face immediately sank, and he said with a wry smile: "Speaking of Mrs. Zhou, she is my most confidant in this world." She and my mother were originally good sisters, and if it weren't for the creation and teasing, our Zhou Yu family would be far more harmonious than today. Hey, it's come to this, sigh in vain, let him go. ”
Murong Xue looked at her miserable eyes, felt sad, and slowly persuaded, "Since you have said so, how can you not stay with her for her birthday?"
Yu Xi frowned, pondered for a long time without saying a word, did not agree or refuse. Murong Xue took the opportunity to say again: "If you neglect the etiquette of those of us as juniors because of the conflict with Zhou Yi, how can you open your mouth if you want to see Madame again in the future? It's a big deal, if you see Zhou Yi, just ignore him. ”
Yu Xi sneered, "This is someone's home, my sister said that, it made me difficult to get along with." As he spoke, he sighed helplessly, his face softened slightly, "Okay, I'll live with you first, and I won't see anyone else!"
The two giggled, and rowed the boat to the middle of the stream.
Zhou Yi heard it clearly, lowered his head, and didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
