"Miss, where did you go last night? The master has sent people to ask several times, and the uncle-to-be even came to ask in person. You didn't let me hide it, but I don't know where you were. Both the master and the uncle-to-be are worried.
It’s fatal.”
The maid Tan Yin was holding a silver basin in her hand. While she was serving Haorui Sheng to cleanse her hands and face, she was reporting what happened after she went out last night.
Haoruisheng's face was expressionless and silent. He looked like he was listening to the conversation or distracted.
Tan Yin looked around secretly, and when he saw Hao Ruisheng's expression, he stopped talking, picked up the silver basin and quietly left the embroidery pavilion.
As soon as Tan Yin stepped across the threshold, he almost bumped into a young man dressed in brocade clothes.
Tan Yin quickly bowed and saluted: "Master Zhuo is here, the young lady is back and is inside."
"I got it, go and get busy." Zhuo Jinzhang responded gently, Rulan Xiu gently opened the pearl chain on the embroidered pavilion door, and walked slowly into the pavilion.
When he entered the pavilion, Tan Yin, who was standing by the door, slowly raised his head, with a slight blush on his cheeks.
The quasi-aunt is really the most perfect man in the world. Not only is his appearance unparalleled, but his voice can also make people drunk. Whenever the maids in this courtyard see him, their hearts are shaken and their souls are troubled.
Tanyin held the silver basin, lowered his head and smiled quietly.
After they got married, the uncle and the young lady lived in the same courtyard.
My uncle has become their closest friend...
Zhuo Jinzhang just stepped into the boudoir, and immediately the sweet and quiet agarwood of agarwood hit his nose. He saw Haorui Sheng leaning on the pillow in a daze, and his narrow eyes suddenly reflected infinite tenderness.
Zhuo Jinzhang's eyes looked at Haorui Sheng, like a bee that had been thirsty for a long time and met the most fragrant and purest nectar flower in the forest.
"Rui'er, you're back. Where did you go last night? It's hard to find uncle and me spending the night together."
While Zhuo Jinzhang was speaking, he walked to Hao Ruisheng's side, saw her lowering her head and said nothing, and stepped forward to gently hold the woman's shoulders.
The man's hand touched Haoruisheng's shoulder. Haoruisheng turned to one side and avoided his hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "I spent the night at Mr. Shen's place last night."
Zhuo Jinzhang was slightly startled when he heard this, and then smiled gently: "You and I are like brothers and sisters. You are about to leave the cabinet, and he finally came back. You should talk more."
"By the way, I heard that the uncle has opened a new trade route this time. It is said that the business on this road is more profitable than Ao Taicheng, but the road is a bit difficult to walk. What is it called Fenmuling? I don't know what the uncle and Rui'er are.
Have you mentioned it?"
Haoruisheng sneered: "Your information is quite good, but it's a pity that you haven't entered my wealthy family yet, and my father is still in good health. If you want to take over my family's property, just wait a few more years."
Even if Zhuo Jinzhang was his wife's son-in-law, Hao Ruisheng's words were really unpleasant.
Zhuo Jinzhang looked at Haoruisheng silently.
After a moment, he sighed quietly: "Rui'er, I know you still misunderstand me in your heart, but it's a pity that I can't explain this kind of thing. You just deliberately said that you were in the uncle's garden last night, and I know you also deliberately wanted to make me angry. In fact,
I know why you went to see me."
Haoruisheng's eyes were cold as he stared at a slanting bamboo branch outside the window, remaining silent.
Zhuo Jinzhang sat down next to her and spoke in a very slow voice: "I know you really want to practice and become a monk. You ran to see me last night for the same reason."
Haoruisheng's beautiful eyes turned around, and her expression suddenly turned sharp: "How dare you go and talk in front of my father!"
Zhuo Jinzhang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Am I so untrustworthy in your heart?"
Haorui Sheng remained silent and continued to look out the window at Shou Mei.
Zhuo Jinzhang said to himself: "If you want to practice, I can also help you."
Haorui Sheng didn't even look at him this time, and sneered: "Please stop entangled with my maid, and I will thank you. Help me? No need!"
Zhuo Jinzhang's handsome face showed disappointment, but the words he spoke were still gentle and considerate, showing that he was extremely patient with Haorui Sheng.
"I said that in this life, I will let you live the life you want and get the happiness you want. Why don't you believe me?"
"Rui'er, I really like you. When you and I get married, you will slowly understand my feelings."
After Zhuo Jinzhang finished speaking, he saw that Haorui Sheng still ignored him, so he had to get up and walk out.
After leaving Haorui Sheng's boudoir, Zhuo Jinzhang stood in the center of the courtyard.
There was silence in the courtyard, and he looked sideways to the left.
The yard where Haorui Sheng lives is not very big. It is a patio with a small garden. The layout is simple, but it is exquisite and unique everywhere. The two small buildings with hanging feet and bells have carved doors and windows opposite each other. Here are the bedrooms
Opposite the study room is the painting studio and piano hall. Everything is available.
There is a blue-grey stone path in the east and west of the yard, leading to the full moon gates on both sides.
The moon gate on the right leads to a garden, and the moon gate on the left leads to an evergreen flower corridor facing an identical full moon gate.
Inside the Moon Gate is the courtyard where Zhuo Jinzhang currently lives.
Between the two opposite moon gates, there is a willow tree.
The willow tree is quite old. It is difficult for this tree to become useful. As it grows for a long time, the tree will develop many old knotted scars, which makes it look quite aged.
It's the middle of winter right now, and the roots of a crown are hanging down. Although all the leaves have fallen off, the gracefulness and softness are still fully displayed.
Zhuo Jinzhang walked to the old willow tree, smiled lightly on his thin lips, and praised in a low voice: "What a tree!"
He stretched out his white jade-like hand and stroked it on the dry and rough tree trunk. Just when his hand touched the tree, circles of ripple-like scarlet light suddenly reflected under his palm, and the red light became more and more intense.
Finally, the petals opened like a lotus flower, revealing a rhythmic thing inside.
It is the ferocious heart that was lost in the heroic study.
The ferocious beast's heart emits a bright scarlet light, and its beating rhythm is vigorous and powerful. It is actually more vital than when it was in the heroic study room.
Zhuo Jinzhang's eyes were completely reflected in the strange blood-red color by the ferocious beast's heart, and his thin lips slowly curved into a gentle smile. The look in his eyes when he looked at the ferocious beast's heart was exactly the same as when he looked at Haorui.
"My Rui'er is indeed a born perfect furnace. In just one night, you will be nourished and filled with vitality. When the day of engagement comes, both you and her will be even more beautiful and stunning! My baby.
, it’s finally time to pick it up, I’m really looking forward to it for my husband!”
Zhuo Jinzhang slowly withdrew his hand, the red light disappeared instantly, and the old willow tree returned to its original appearance.
Zhuo Jinzhang looked back at Haorui Sheng's embroidered pavilion, raised half of his lips, and smiled coldly: "Ah, your good brother Shen Yuyun is really capable of doing things. If he didn't take good care of me, how could my baby be like this?"
Arrive safely on time?"
Zhuo Jinzhang imitated the woman's tone. Lanhua pointed her finger and sang in Xiaodan accent: "Thank you, uncle, hehehehe~"
Zhuo Jinzhang's voice is soft to the bone, softer than a woman's, but if you listen carefully, it reveals a strange and sinister tone.
He walked back to his own residence.
With his long back and extraordinary handsomeness, he is still the romantic and handsome man who makes the hearts of all the maids in the house flutter.
The lost and melancholy look in Haorui's boudoir was completely gone.
