In spring, the rain is pattering, moistening everything.
On that day, the showers were beginning to rest, and the sky was full of Wenhua.
Zhou Xiaoxiao raised the window lattice and looked at the wet Qingshi Street with interest.
Opposite the residents' shops are sparsely supporting the windows, collecting rain gear.
The urchins on the stagnant slate road made a fuss, and the pedestrians were no longer in a hurry. At the end of the street, several young men in jade crowns and costumes came slowly on their BMWs.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, followed by the raindrops falling from the eaves, and laughed.
How do you know that Sushou's slender hands are back in the window, only to see green eyebrows and jade faces appearing under the eaves.
Yu Xingzhi stood under the window with a white horse and light fur, and was staring at her with a pale face raised. His eyes were red, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and a pair of big hands holding the reins trembled slightly.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while.
The main hall of the courtyard.
There were three men sitting on the left and right chairs.
Zhou Xiaoxiao sat on the big kang by the window and looked at Yu Xingzhi, who had not seen him for a long time.
I saw him described as haggard, pale, and dark blue now. It's worse than when the two separated a few months ago. It turned a gentle and elegant son into a frail and sickly beauty.
The person beside him is dressed in brocade robes and robes, with golden crowns and hair, trimmed eyebrows and handsome eyes, looking forward to majesty. It was Yu Xingzhi's famous cousin, King Yan Cheng Shizhao.
The other was beautiful in appearance, elegant in demeanor, and frail, like a juvenile scholar. But it is Cheng Shizhao's younger brother, Cheng Shiqi, the ninth among the princes.
Yu Xingzhi couldn't see anyone else at the moment, but just stared at Zhou Xiaoxiao closely, his handsome eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes rolled, and there seemed to be thousands of words in his chest but he couldn't say it.
He took out the Biyun Chunshu note from his arms, held it tightly with his fingertips, and slowly handed it back to Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was full of resentment towards Yu Xingzhi in her heart, but she had thought that if they met several times, she would scold him head to head. Seeing him at this moment, my heart softened.
"You want me to take this letter back?" She turned her eyes away and said softly, "What's the point of this? Since you and I are not in a relationship, we should cut off our relationship with each other and live with each other. If we do not stop, it will only increase the chaos."
Yu Xingzhi's eyes were desolate, and he stubbornly held the letterhead in front of Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes, his fingertips trembled slightly, the knuckles on his hands were white, and the blue veins were protruding.
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to make him so embarrassed in front of outsiders, after deliberating for a moment, she finally reached out her hand and gently took the crumpled blue paper.
Taking a separate look, his heartless little poem was stained with brown blood, which was shocking.
Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a pain in her chest and sighed, why should she suffer so much.
She closed her eyes, flipped through her hands, and finally tore the letter.
Yu Xingzhi's brows moved slightly, and the starlight in his eyes finally revealed an indescribable smile.
The two were speechless for a while.
"I said what a stunning beauty she is, and you are so haunted by your dreams that you almost don't even want a small life."
Cheng Shizhao sneered at that time, he got up and stepped forward, holding Yu Xingzhi's shoulder with his right hand and raising his left hand lightly.
"It turned out to be just that."
He squinted a pair of phoenix eyes, his expression was sloppy, and his tone was frivolous: "Zigui, you are surrounded by ladies from all over the world. It's no wonder you haven't seen such a woman in all corners of the world. It's hard to get hold of their usual tricks."
Yu Xingzhi pushed his arm away, his eyebrows folded into peaks, and said angrily, "Your Highness!"
"Okay, okay, brothers, don't fight for righteousness." The ninth prince Cheng Shiqi advised from the side, "I've been driving for so many days, but I'm exhausted. I'd rather find a place to rest first."
King Yan spread his hands to Yu Xingzhi: "We first arrived in Fengxiang, shouldn't you take me to see the second cousin first? Mo Dao wants me and the ninth brother to wait here for you and this girl to exchange our heartfelt feelings. ."
"Cousin." Yu Xingzhi suppressed his anger, "I ask you and His Royal Highness to wait outside for a while, Xingzhi will come in a moment."
Cheng Shizhao snorted, walked outside the door, waved his hand, and led a crowd out of the crowd.
Yu Xingzhi turned his head to Zhou Xiaoxiao and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, don't be angry. His Highness is not like this in his normal life. Let me place the two His Royal Highnesses first and pay my respects to my brother. Then I will find you and talk about it in detail."
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded, got up and saluted, her big round eyes blinked at Yu Xingzhi and smiled. Signed that she didn't mind. He also reached out and made a gesture of begging.
Yu Xingzhi grasped and grasped the hand in his sleeve, and finally turned away without saying much.
After Yu Xingzhi left, Zhou Xiaoxiao touched her chest and felt that it was filled with joy and excitement again.
She patted her head.
You like him so much. No one has said a word yet, and you forgive me.
This time, it was a failure, and it was planted in the hands of this man.
She sorted her clothes and went downstairs into the workshop as usual to make cakes with Aunt Ji.
"What kind of happy event did the little lady get today? I laughed while rubbing her face here." Aunt Ji joked.
"Really? Am I laughing?" Zhou Xiaoxiao touched her face and smiled, "I'm really happy today, let's have a snack at noon and eat grilled fish?"
"Miss, madam, is it the one I got last time, with fish in an iron plate and charcoal fish underneath? That grilled fish tastes delicious." Juanzi said happily.
"The young masters who just came here are very flamboyant. From the moment people came in with guns and sticks, they rushed in and stunned me." Xiaomei's attention was different, and she said while touching her chest in fear.
It is said that Wang Xun was walking on Qingshi Street and met a familiar non-commissioned officer Liu Zang.
Liu Zang hugged Wang Xun, "The captain of the school has cleaned up so energetically today, but he has to do it. It's better to have two drinks with my younger brother at the liquor store in front of him."
Wang Xun touched the brand new headscarf and jade ring on his head and said, "I don't have time today, I have to go to my master Wu Dao. I'll invite Brother Liu to drink another day."
"Mr. Wu recently got a new apprentice. Have you seen the captain before? He is very handsome. Brother went to Doctor Wu's place to find a pair of plaster a few days ago. Seeing the boy playing with guns and sticks in the courtyard, his skills were itchy for a while. , I compared it, and I was defeated even if I couldn't make three moves."
"Master Zhou... Junior Brother is really extraordinary."
"According to my younger brother, the only person Fengxiang can compete with that young man is you, the captain. Master Wu has taught him a good apprentice, and everyone is so good."
The two came to Wu's house while they were talking. However, I saw a lot of people watching the lively outside Wu's house.
Wang Xun was startled, left Liu Zang behind, and squeezed in from the crowd.
I saw that the gate of Wu's house was open, and the courtyard was full of soldiers with swords and armor, all riding on the tall horse, surrounded by one person. This person is dressed in a golden crown, and is extravagant. Holding a horse whip in his hand, he sits on a horse and looks down at Zhou Xiaoxiao, who is alone and independent in front of him.
Wang Xun got up, lightly tapped on the low wall of Wu's house, climbed over the wall, and landed beside Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"Who are you waiting for? It's not me, a soldier in Fengxiang City. Why did you enter the house privately?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to block him behind him.
"This is His Royal Highness King Yan, senior brother must not be unreasonable."
When Wang Xun heard that Cheng Shizhao was a nobleman of Wang Sun, he suddenly lost his momentum.
The guard behind Cheng Shizhao scolded: "The palace is doing business, and the idle people are leaving!"
Wang Xun suffered from his low status and did not dare to contradict, but he did not want to leave, so he took two steps back.
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Shizhao and speculated about his intention in his heart.
She whispered to Wang Xun behind her, "Senior brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, leave quickly." She put one hand behind her back and stretched out two fingers to compare two words.
She didn't know whether it was useful to inform General Yu at this moment, but she had to think about the safety of Wu Daoquan and his wife.
Wang Xun hesitated, Zhou Xiaoxiao turned around and pushed him, "Let's go!"
Wang Xun had to grit his teeth and leave.
Cheng Shizhao sneered and said, "You are so hooked up with a small captain. She really is a woman who is very feisty."
Zhou Xiaoxiao was furious in her heart, but after all, she was an adult who had worked for many years in her previous life, not the kind of stunned youth who knew nothing about the sky.
She knew very well that in this era, Cheng Shizhao could easily take the life of a commoner like her.
Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at the people in Wu's house who were isolated, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and tried his best to calmly say: "If you have something to do, please come in and talk, why bother others."
A group of people waited to enter the house.
The door of the small hall was quickly filled with powerful guards of the palace.
Only Zhou Xiaoxiao and Cheng Shizhao were left alone in the room.
Cheng Shizhao sat carelessly on the master's kang seat, lightly tapped the leather whip in his hand, supported his feet, and squinted at the woman in front of him.
He couldn't see anything special about this woman, and she could make a gentleman like Zigui get lost and deviant.
The woman was wearing men's clothing at the moment, with a man's hair in a bun. There was still a little flour on his unremarkable face. You can't see the slightest bit of a woman's softness and charm. She looked at her nose, nose at her heart, and stood still.
He was neither intimidated by the dismounting of his horse when he entered the door, nor was he in a hurry to show a flattering attitude.
"It's not too daring. You don't have to count on it, Zigui is somewhere else, and Ziji won't come here at this time."
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly and waited silently for the following.
"Gu is impatient with Er and other women Luo Su. To tell Er the truth, don't want to enter the imperial palace again. My aunt will not tolerate Er." Cheng Shizhao touched his chin and frowned, "Now, Gu Wang is another There is a sunny road for you, and there is a house in the outskirts of Beijing, where you can be placed. If you discipline you and Xingzhi, you can stay together for a few days a year. If you keep the door and women's way from now on, you will no longer be instigated. Make trouble, tell right and wrong. The lonely king, Baoer, is rich and rich in his life."
Zhou Xiaoxiao suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and did not want to conflict with him face to face, let alone talk to him. She only said, "Thank you for your kindness. People don't ask for wealth and honor, and it is enough to live in peace here."
He sneered in his heart, and died several times, just for such a thing.
Cheng Shizhao heard Zhou Xiaoxiao's perfunctory meaning, and immediately became annoyed.
