Zi Ning carefully hid behind the bamboo, and her eyes were fixed on the white-clothed figure next to the rockery. After waiting for a long time, he didn't speak, but walked softly to the rockery, leaving behind a small satin bag that seemed to contain something.

The figure of the man in white was slightly lower, looking a little lonely, and said lightly: "The sky sends lovesickness to the bright moon, don't regret to take the person in front of you!" Then the bamboo bush shook deeply, and the shadow in white flickered and disappeared, disappearing like light smoke, and the bamboo forest returned to a quiet place.

Zi Ning stayed for a moment, her cold fingertips touching the hard green bamboo skin, and the thin horizontal lines on the bamboo trunk stretched out in the moonlight. She carried her skirt and walked over in a staggering manner, picked up the satin pouch on the stone, and opened it to reveal the contents of two silk bags.

Open it and take a closer look, a piece of silk silk wrapped in sweet glutinous cake and candied fruit stained with osmanthus nectar powder, but there is also a golden water chestnut peacock hairpin, and some words seem to be written on the silk silk wrapped with gold hairpin.

There was a look of comfort in her eyes, and she spread out the fragrant cake and candied fruit to see that it was half of the candied autumn dates, and her nose approached to smell it, honey, red dates, autumn chrysanthemum nectar, peach blossom nectar, rose honey, all kinds of sweet smells came out.

Zining is good at food, and knows that this autumn jujube candied fruit is a rare good thing, and the autumn jujube is soaked in autumn chrysanthemum nectar, rolled twice with peach nectar and sealed in a porcelain jar. When eating, use rose honey to adjust it, which can unblock qi and blood, and suppress the shock.

couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he said to himself: "He is such a careful and considerate prince. The jet-black candied fruit was moist, and a faint aroma of nectar came to my nose, I pinched a candied fruit with my fingers, slowly put it in my mouth, and gently sipped it twice, and the sweetness in my heart gushed out with tears.

She half-leaned her body next to the bamboo, only to feel that happiness came too quickly, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't help but look up and say: "With the moon as a witness, I will accept your heart safely." Regardless of whether tonight's events are frivolous or not, in short, I can only let go of one of you in my heart!"

Slowly unfold the silk silk with words, and look carefully at the firelight of the lantern, the thick honey fragrance on the silk wafts out, reflecting the crystal shining ink-colored handwriting, and the strokes are very handsome.

Zi Ning secretly praised it, and saw that two lines of words were written on it: "Jun knows what he wants, and he can't help himself; The face is easy to grow old, floating in the world, willing to be single-minded, never give up. I watched it three times in a row, and my face was hot.

couldn't help but be stunned in a daze, thinking: "Is this his confession, he also has me in his heart, is that what he means?" lest he misunderstand, he re-read it twice, and the handwriting on it couldn't be clearer, I'm afraid even a fool can understand the meaning.

Deng Shi was ecstatic, Zi Ning held the silk silk in his hand, jumped a few times in the bamboo forest, and stomped his feet again and again, he couldn't believe everything in front of him, and pinched his face fiercely, just as if it was in a dream.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps behind her, Zi Ning came back to her senses, turned her head sharply to look, and saw a woman holding a glass palace lamp, standing on the edge of the bamboo forest.

Zi Ning took a closer look, it turned out to be Xia Wan, and asked in surprise: "Why are you? What are you doing in the back courtyard so late?" Xia Wan is a high-grade maid, and she lives in the main hall of the front courtyard, which is far away from this bamboo forest, and Zi Ning didn't expect to meet her here.

Xia Wan was also slightly surprised, seeing Zi Ning holding a splendid sachet in her hand, she looked at her in a daze, and smiled for a moment: "I couldn't sleep well tonight, I just woke up, thinking about blowing a flute to dissipate the sullenness, and I was afraid of disturbing them, so I came to the bamboo forest in the back yard." It's quiet and uninhabited. ”

Zi Ning smiled slightly and said, "There are also people living here, but they don't often walk around the bamboo forest, so it's quiet." ”

Xia Wan's bright eyes turned, looked at Zi Ning and said, "Could it be that I disturbed the girl's purity, I hope to forgive me." He bent down slightly as he spoke. Zi Ning saw that she was polite, so she didn't care too much, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I can't sleep either, come to this bamboo forest for a walk, smell the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and your brain will be clearer." ”

Unconsciously stepping into the depths of the bamboo forest, although the spring has warmed up at this time, there is still a trace of cold air under the bamboo tree. Zi Ning stared at the rockery for a long time, and thought: "The prince stood here just now, and he couldn't see him in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know what to see again." Lovesick and bitter, but can't help but lovesick, most of the infatuated women in ancient and modern times are like this!"

When I thought of the word infatuation, I couldn't help but learn to be hypocritical, sat down quietly on the rockery, raised my hand to stroke a green bamboo next to me, and touched a layer of cold bamboo skin with my fingers, and there were some traces of rough wear and tear in the moist touch.

Xia Wan approached with the glass palace lamp and asked her in a clear voice: "There seems to be a word on the bamboo, which is a novelty." ”

When Zi Ning heard this, he jumped up suddenly, put all the hypocrisy just now, and glared and shouted: "Where is it, show me!" Touching the bamboo stem with both hands, it really looked like handwriting, and it was carved out with a knife stroke by stroke, carving a row from top to bottom.

Both of them raised the lantern high, and saw that eight words were neatly engraved on the bamboo trunk: "I am used to seeing Pu Liu, but I don't see it." ”

Zi Ning held the lamp in one hand and the bamboo stem in the other, her eyes stared at it, and her brows furrowed. She muttered to herself, "What do you mean?" She knew very well that Pu Liu was a poplar that grew on the shore, and these eight words had a metaphorical meaning.

I think that the women in the ancient books all call themselves "Pu Liu's posture", although it is a modest word, but the title of "Pu Liu" is definitely not a good metaphor. There was a buzzing roar in his head, and he thought: "The prince just confessed those words to me, and sent me candied gold hairpins, these words must not have been left by him, they must not be him!"

Xia Wan approached with broken steps, stood in front of the bamboo, and then stood still, raised her hand to caress the horizontal and vertical strokes, and her fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Oh, she smiled faintly and bitterly, "I want to come to Master Su to enter the mansion early, and secretly inspect our concubines, it turns out that all of them are the color of a willow." Master Su must have been dissatisfied in his heart, so he didn't want to show his face. No wonder we have been waiting for more than ten days, and there is not even a single message, maybe Master Su has already disgusted us. ”

When Zi Ning heard that it was the words left by Master Su, he breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the handwriting was deeply engraved, and the knife and pen were actually three points into the bamboo, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Pu Liu, Pu Liu, thanks to Lord Su for using such a serious mind, he only wrote a few strokes lightly, and we people can recognize it for a long time." There is no need to bother so hard, it shows deep affection!" The ladies have been looking forward to these days, and all they have been waiting for is an indifferent mockery and ridicule, and Zi Ning suddenly felt indignant.

She stood sideways, and when she turned her eyes to see the tears in Xia Wan's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Hurriedly persuaded: "You don't have to be so sad, just treat Lord Su as a demon, why shed tears for him! You are such a good woman, young and beautiful as a flower, how can a demon be worthy of you!"

Raising his eyes and seeing the eight words carved into You Xin, deeply reflected in his eyes, Zi Ning secretly hated: "Xianggui is still sick, Yao Er is not able to practice hanging Feiyan into a human shape, if they see this, I am afraid that it will become a tearing horizontal line in an instant, cutting their hearts into pieces of crumbs." Master Su, who was thinking about the ladies in their hearts, had already crushed and trampled on their hearts, leaving these hard eight words, which became the humiliation that the women faced in their lives.

Xia Wan hurriedly raised her hand, covered her mouth in a panic, and said, "Don't say that, I...... How can you be worthy of Master Su. ”

"Phew!" Zi Ning raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What Lord Su, if you don't see him, you won't see him, who will be rare! Say that we are Pu Liu by the water, is he a cold pine on the peak? Since he is a cold pine that does not want to condescend, he should stand proudly to the end, never step into the Qingshuang Garden, never see a concubine! I hope that he will find a rock to live, the scenery of broken sleeves with turquoise stones is better than Puliu Han pine, and it is not worthy to be put together!"

Xia Wan looked at Zi Ning in surprise, and suddenly laughed out loud, and said: "The pine and stone depend on each other? Looking at the handwriting engraved on the bamboo, the smile on his face slowly converged and dispersed, and he said calmly: "Puliu is a salicyl, weak and lowly in nature, and clusters are formed into piles. There are no branches, no trunks, no reeds by the water, and no grass with continuous leaves to take root. Life is full of frustration, even if the body is delicate, like crying, it is difficult to win people's love and affection......"

Before she could finish speaking, Zi Ning was already impatient, pulled out a thick silver hairpin on her head, made a few hard marks on the word "Pu Liu", and said angrily: "Even if Pu Liu is an ugly village girl who grows up by the river, it can't hinder his eyes! If there is no Pu Liu in the world, how can those tough and beautiful baskets, baskets, and dustpans be made up! When Master Su is injured by a knife one day, don't use Pu Liu as medicine, and he will be boiled to death!"

Xia Wan was shocked again, and hurriedly grabbed her and said, "You actually hate Master Su so much, but don't curse him for being stabbed, if these words are heard, you will be worried about your life." His anxious eyes glanced inside and outside the bamboo forest, and he was relieved to see that it was pitch black and quiet around him.

With his eyes closed, Zi Ning let out a long sigh in her heart, and the stuffiness in her chest couldn't be dissipated, and she said softly: "What are you worried about, what am I afraid of, at this moment, I even have the heart to die." Why do I hate Lord Su, it's really ridiculous, if it weren't for what kind of wife he chose, how could I be trapped in this cage alive. ”

In the silence, I heard the sound of bamboo leaves being blown out by the thin wind. Xia Wan raised her eyes to look at her, and said for a while: "You know a lot. Zi Ning's face turned red, and she shook her head slightly and said, "Where do I know anything, but because I can't be angry, I just said a few more words." ”

Xia Wan is a talented girl in Qingshuang Yuan, Zi Ning thought to herself: "Most talented women are Lan Xinhui and extremely smart, it is best to keep a low profile in front of her, otherwise it will not be easy to do it." She just wants to leave Dongyuan as soon as possible, and going to the palace to meet Pingjia is the most urgent thing, as for competing for favor with Lord Su's daughter, she doesn't have those thoughts at all.

The glow in Xia Wan's eyes flowed, and she was quite admiring, and said: "I heard that Zi Ning used to cook in the dining room, and she was a little cook who didn't know anything. I have talked with you tonight, and when I have heard your words, I know that the rumors are not credible, and that the people have looked down on you. ”
