Chapter 6 The Night Visit
Faced with the wrath of the old master Zhou, Zhou Xining did not panic. She calmly pulled out the sapphire she wore next to her collar from her collar, and said, "It's not deceiving the emperor, but the truth. Ten years ago, the He family used this Qingyu made a marriage contract for Pin."

Looking at Qingyu, Zhou Xining couldn't help but hear the words He Beiting whispered in her ear before his death.

"Sapphire is hired, life is not the same quilt, death is the same point!" '

……

He Beiting, this time, no matter how many hardships and dangers, I will live and die with you.Live up to your affectionate stay together, live up to your life to protect each other.

He family...

Mentioning the He family, the old emperor Zhou's expression was a little sad.The He family and the Xia family, one south and one north, were once the backbone of Xuan Guo.It's a pity that after the battle ten years ago... the He family fell.

Dingyuanhou's mansion is still there, but the He family is no longer in Beijing, and even the only surviving eldest son rarely shows up.

"The marriage contract is with that prince?"

"Yes."

After Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment, he waved his hand at Zhou Xining.

"Go, I know about it."

Zhou Xining got up, bowed and retreated, but was stopped before going out.

"Since there is a marriage contract, it should be implemented as early as possible, so as not to cause side effects."

Zhou Xining: ...

How to implement it?

Is it possible that a girl like me will come to the house to ask for marriage?

If it's He Beiting, it's not impossible.

Zhou Xining thought all the way back to Chunwu Courtyard.

After washing up and eating, Zhou Xining leaned on the couch in the outer room holding a book of travel notes.Lian Dong sat on one side and served tea while embroidering a handkerchief.

The master and servant are suitable for each other, warm and quiet.

"Girl, it's getting late, let's go into the back room and rest." Liandong got up while tidying up the work in her hands.

"Well, you go, I'll read two more pages."

Liandong glanced at the chiming clock in the room, and said, "It's the end of the hour, it's really getting late..."

"Two pages, really only two pages." Zhou Xining looked at Lian Dong's expression of disbelief, and said, "There are only two more pages to finish this article. If you can't finish reading it, you won't be able to sleep well."

Liandong knew Zhou Xining's habit, didn't say anything more, bowed and retreated.

The candles flickering in the window, plain hand flipping through the books, quiet and peaceful.

The night outside the window is as cold as water, the lonely shadow is alone, and the mood is mixed.

"Come in for a cup of tea?" Zhou Xining's drooping eyelashes trembled, he put down the book in his hand, got up and opened the half-opened window, and lay down by the window with his chin resting on his hands.

She knows he is there?He Beiting, who was hiding outside, was suddenly startled, she could find him?
"There is a price but no market for Tegong Houkui..." Before Zhou Xining finished speaking, there was another person in front of the window.

"How did you find me?"

He Beiting, who was dressed in black, stood there silently, lonely and desolate, as if he had merged with the night.If you don't look carefully, it seems that the night is him, and he is also this dark night, which will disappear without a trace at any time.Zhou Xining wrinkled her little nose. She didn't like this feeling, so she reached out and grabbed his arm.

"He Beiting, are you coming to see me?"

Looking at the little hand on his arm, He Beiting was in a daze for a moment, as if he saw the scene of Zhou Xining, who was a child, grabbing his sleeve and acting coquettishly.After calming down, He Beiting asked the doubt in his heart, "You know me?"

"I know you, you are me...the elder brother of the He family." Zhou Xining tilted his head slightly, smiling as he looked at He Beiting, who was tensed up like a javelin.

"Ten years ago, you seemed to be only four years old." Glancing at Zhou Xining who was smiling like a little fox, He Beiting shook his head helplessly and said, "Even if you are gifted and remember childhood, I am completely different from ten years ago." , why do you recognize it at a glance?"

"Yes, what's the reason? But I can recognize it at a glance."

The reason is naturally that I have lived a whole life longer than you, but if you cannot tell the truth, then you can only lie.Zhou Xining blinked his big eyes with an innocent look on his face.

Taking a glance at Zhou Xining, He Beiting asked again: "How did you find me?"

"Oh, it's a feeling." Zhou Shining spread his arms, and continued to play rogue. "I just suddenly feel that you are here. I don't think you are here. Is my feeling very good?"

He Beiting glanced at Zhou Xining in doubt, then turned and left.

"you……"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, He Beiting was no longer visible in front of my eyes, only the dark night was still like me.

"It's like this every time, so you can't wait for me to finish talking before leaving. I haven't said that grandfather wants to see you." Zhou Xining muttered, picked up the candlestick and entered the back room.

After He Beiting left the Zhou Mansion, he didn't leave in a hurry, but looked in the direction of Chunwu Courtyard and frowned in frustration.He shouldn't appear in front of her, and shouldn't have any interaction with her anymore.But as soon as he said goodbye to the back of Yuyuan, the scene of her throwing herself into his arms crying and saying that she missed him kept echoing in his mind.Then he somehow went to Zhou's house and entered Chunwu Courtyard, and revealed Xingzang like a ghost.

After taking a deep breath, He Beiting disappeared into the night and left without looking back.

On the ninth day of March, the sky was fine.

On the day of Zhou Xining's birthday, the Zhou family originally planned to hold a flower banquet in a serious way, one is to celebrate Zhou Xining's birthday, and the other is to show the world the demeanor of the Zhou family's daughter-in-law.Because of the incident of falling into the water, the flower banquet was cancelled.Mrs. Su decided to congratulate her daughter in her brocade courtyard.

Therefore, after Zhou Xining got up and washed, he took Lonicera to Jinyuan for dinner.

In the brocade courtyard, the eldest wife of the Zhou family, Mrs. Su, was leaning on the big kang by the window and talking to the maidservant. When she looked up and saw her daughter enter the room, she immediately ordered the maidservant to prepare the meal, and then waved with a smile.

"Come quickly." Su said while taking out an exquisite box, "This year's Chunwei, your elder brother is about to end, and he was locked up in the academy by your husband and couldn't get out. He asked Fufeng to bring you a gift back, open it quickly. Look what it is."

Inside the box was a pendant. The quality of jade was not particularly rare, but the style was quite unique. Zhou Xining smiled as he rubbed the two words on the back of the pendant with his fingertips.

"Like it so much? I lost my eyes laughing." Su smiled and teased her daughter.

"Well, my brother carved it myself, so I like it." Zhou Xining pointed to the small characters on the back of the pendant and said, "Mother, here are my brothers' small characters."

"Qianzhi...it's true." Su Clan spread his hands together pretending to complain, "I don't even have one as a mother, but you got it first."

"My daughter is wronged. Mother's birthday is behind her. My brother is obviously using her birthday to practice." Zhou Xining hugged Su's arm and cried coquettishly.

Su smiled with satisfaction. Although her daughter has been away from Beijing for many years, she has no birthright.

The curtain was opened, and Bai Zhi, the maidservant beside Su, came in, followed by the little maid carrying the food.

Bai Zhi smiled and set the table, and the last thing on the table was a bowl of steaming noodles, covered with a thin layer of shredded pork, garnished with green vegetable leaves, and a round poached egg.

Looking at the full bowl of noodles, the corners of Zhou Xining's mouth twitched. The last thing she likes to eat is noodles. Fortunately, she only eats this once a year.
