Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 4 Embarrassment
Zhao Jinyi's slender hands froze suddenly.

At the same time, a heart beat wildly.

Although the voice was not very familiar, she remembered that it belonged to Ning Yong.

But why did Ning Yong appear here?
Her mind was spinning rapidly, and at the same time, there was a decent and beautiful smile on her lips.

She slowly lowered her hand and met Ning Yong's phoenix eyes.

Ning Yong didn't smile, Junxiu's face was deserted.

Zhao Jinyi didn't dare to be too warm, but gently yelled at Ning Yifu: "Ning Erlang."

The servant beside Ning Yong waited not too far away.

The spring sun is not too warm, but it is not too gentle either.Ning Yong's fair face was bathed in the sun, turning a little red.

He nodded slightly: "Why is Miss Zhao Si here?" When he was speaking, his eyes seemed to casually glance at the place where Zhao Jinyi should have been.

Why here?Couldn't she say that she came to test their reaction after seeing the snake?

Zhao Jinyi still had a smile on his lips: this Ning Yong is too smart, it seems that at this moment, he is not so good.

Should she lie to him?Zhao Jinyi didn't want to.In front of the person she likes, she doesn't want to be a woman full of nonsense.

But...if she tells the whole story of her purpose for coming here, I'm afraid Ning Yong will make some guesses about her from now on.Invite others to come to your garden to enjoy the flowers, and release snakes...

Ah... what a terrible moment.With all her calculations, she never expected that Ning Yong would show up when she shouldn't.

The smile on her lips seemed to be a little weak: "..."

Seeing her flirtatious, Ning Yong smiled slightly, and said: "There were snakes in the garden just now, Miss Zhao Si had better not be here alone. Ning has heard that some snakes like to hide on trees and vines the most."

Ah, is that so?Hearing this, Zhao Jinyi glanced at the flower vines beside him in a little panic.

Ning Yong clasped his hands: "Miss Zhao Si take care, and Ning will leave first."

After he finished speaking, Shi Shi ran away.When the servant Zhou Quan who was following passed by Zhao Jinyi, he also saluted Zhao Jinyi, and then chased his master away.

Zhao Jinyi stood there blankly, watching Ning Yong pass through the hanging flower gate, turn into the corridor, and soon disappeared.

She suddenly let out a sigh of relief, a little annoyed, why is she always so inappropriate in front of Ning Yong?This is not her original appearance of Zhao Jinyi.

When Mei Ran came back, she saw her girl in a daze which was extremely rare.

She called a girl, and Zhao Jinyi suddenly came back to his senses.

Mei Ran said: "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable?" For today's banquet, the girl has not rested for a long time.After exhausting his thoughts all day, there is a faint blue shadow under his eyelids.

Zhao Jinyi smiled sweetly: "It's nothing." What she was thinking in her heart was that Ning Yong had left, and she had to ask her brother to send the souvenir that belonged to him to the Ning family.

Zhou Quan followed his master to a place where no one was around, and then said again: "Erlang, this Zhao family is too bullying. They clearly called people to come to enjoy the flowers, but they let the snakes go." Although Ning Yong is a weak scholar, Zhou Quan is He lived in Zhuangzi since he was a child, and was bought by the Ning family when he was twelve years old, and became Ning Yong's servant.Heck, he saw a lot of snakes on Zhuangzi.Those snakes would never appear in crowded places at all.

Although Ning Yong is a weak scholar, he understands what Zhou Quan said very well.

He heard that Zhou Quan was angry, so he just said indifferently: "Zhou Quan, don't discuss this in other people's homes."

Zhou Quan quickly shut his mouth.

There is still a big gap between the life of the Ning family and that of the Zhao family.Such as housing, such as employing people, such as the paper, inkstone and ink used for homework on weekdays.

Although Zhou Quan impulsively defended his master, he still avoided the gap between the families.

Ning Yong and Zhou Quan strolled back home, serving as the coachman and porter, and Xia Bo, the servant who also cleaned the courtyard, brought the gifts from the Zhao family: "Erlang, something from the Zhao family."

It is a very delicate and light package.

Ning Yong glanced lightly, Zhou Quan quickly took it, and followed Ning Yong into the study.

It is said to be a study, but it is just a small building in the Westinghouse, narrow and cramped.An old desk, a chair, and books piled on the floor were stuffed inside, and there was no room for large items.

On weekdays, when Ning Yong was doing homework, Zhou Quan would go around Ning's house to help.

Only when Ning Yong goes out, Zhou Quan is really Ning Yong's servant.

Zhou Quan put the gift from the Zhao family on the desk, and went to work on his own.

Ning Yong took a pair of scissors and cut open the outer package, gradually revealing the contents inside.

It is a stack of neatly cut, high-quality Chengxintang paper.

His slender and fair hands gently caressed the Chengxintang paper, and raised his brows lightly.

The Zhao family today is really interesting.Putting snakes to scare people, and sending such precious paper as an apology, what exactly is it trying to do?

Zhao Jinyi's dull face appeared in his mind.

He is not a fool, and he even has a good understanding of the hidden thoughts of the girls.

This is something that even one thing is not spared.

Having met Zhao Jinyi a few times, he can be sure that Miss Zhao Si of the Zhao family has a lot of thoughts for him.

Zhao Jinyi...he gently stroked the paper, thinking of the young girl who was hiding under the shade of flowers just now.

The face is like a budding flower bud in spring, but the body is already exquisite.Although the appearance is not too outstanding, but because the complexion is very fair... Ning Yong suddenly became a little irritable when he thought of Zhao Jinyi's fragile skin.

At this moment, a hoarse cough came from the east room.

In the east room lives the elder brother, who is sick and sick, and coughs at all hours of the day.

Ning Yong closed his eyes, and gradually drove out the distracting thoughts in his mind.

There was a slight sound outside the door, Ning Yong opened his eyes, and met the smiling face of the servant girl Chunliu.

Chunliu was holding a wooden plate in his hand, and smiled sweetly: "Erlang is back. I made white fungus soup, Erlang, do you want to try it?"

Ning Yong stood up, took the wooden plate from her hand, and placed it next to the Chengxintang paper: "Troubleshooting."

Chunliu smiled happily: "As long as Erlang likes it, I can do it."

Ning Yong bowed his head: "Brother just coughed, you should go back and have a look."

Chunliu's smile froze suddenly.There was a look of resentment but not resentment on her face.But Ning Yong lowered his head and didn't see it.

Chunliu went back sadly.

Ning Yong finished eating the white fungus soup, but put the Chengxintang paper aside, picked up a book and read it.

The eldest brother is coughing in the east room, and the father has not come back yet, and the mother has not returned after taking her younger siblings to the grandfather's house for dinner.

In the narrow courtyard, Chunliu's low voice can be heard.

Ning Yong suddenly became upset and irritable again.

There are some furniture that can't be compared with the Zhao family, but no matter how good the Zhao family's family background is, none of the Zhao family's grandchildren are successful.Why is he so talented, but he can only live in such a place.

Zhao Jinyi was a little absent-minded.

The banquet ended happily. She and her sisters sent the last guests away, and suddenly felt a little tired.

But before he sat down for a while, before his breath calmed down, the servant girl next to the aunt came over: "Miss Si, the eldest wife is here to invite you."
