In addition to beauty, she also has a mold

Chapter 23 How could Zhao Wuling's jade pendant be on her body?

"Junior sister don't have to think about the congratulatory gift. The mansion is deserted all year round. This time you are here, adding a little face to our Chu family. Grandfather is already very happy."

"Thank you, brother."

She pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were brighter than the night stars in the sky.

Chu Zhijiang frowned secretly: "Brother has reminded me many times, no more thanks, next time if you do it again, practice more!"

"Haha, got it, brother."

In fact, the moment she came out of the dark alley, she had already given up the idea of ​​giving gifts.

Therefore, after a few words of comfort from the senior brother, she followed suit.

The two haven't seen each other for many days, chatting about the busy things in the mansion these past few days, and recalling the anecdote of the two betting in front of Jiang's building, the house was full of smiles.

Before leaving, Chu Zhijiang thought of something, smiled helplessly, and reminded her: "When Junior Sister returns to the room to rest, please check the room."

Xiao Yu agreed.

Seeing the senior brother walk out of the small courtyard, his bright eyes dimmed instantly.

With no intention of going back to her room, she walked to the stream, touched the stream water with her fingertips, it was cool, and it felt cool to her heart.

It's not worrying about the birthday gift, it's just an excuse she used to prevaricate her senior brother.

Fortunately, my brother believed it.

Fortunately, the senior brother didn't see her in a mess.

Every moment in the dark alley kept echoing in her mind.

The moment the man in black drew his sword and stabbed her, the moment she compromised and agreed to the body search, the moment she asked Han Yi...

He didn't show up, and she lost all her dignity. She really complied with that sentence, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Back then, she scolded him in front of everyone, which made him lose face.

Back then, she was a noble daughter in the capital, but he was an illegitimate child who couldn't see the light.

Back then, she advised Xu Shurui to kill him to silence him.

Now, he has become the arm of the prince, and the future is limitless, but she has become the daughter of a traitor.

In the past, there was no need to worry about food and clothing, and everything was at your fingertips, but now you can only sneak into the dark alleys where you can't see the light.

After three years away from Beijing, she thinks she doesn't care about old people and old affairs.

Obviously, they only met once in the capital, so she shouldn't be in such a mood.

Zhao Wuling, a sick beauty, has no knives or swords, and can kill people invisible.

-

She didn't see the 500 taels of silver notes that the senior brother put in the drawer until the next morning, and there was another incident that night that kept her awake all night.

Go back to the room when I was a child, ready to undress and go to sleep.

But there was a soft sound, and something slipped from her clothes.

She looked at it by candlelight for a long time, and she was very sure that it was the light green Hetian jade.

She had obviously returned the jade pendant to the vendor...

When did it come to her?
Why did it come to her?

She recalled the scene before the man in black appeared a few times, that is, when she heard footsteps, she only cared about Liu'er and didn't care about being bumped by someone else.

Maybe at that time, the merchant took advantage of the chaos and put the jade pendant on her body.

Such a rare Hetian jade, why did the merchants stuff it out so casually?

Could it be...

She gathered her five fingers and held the jade pendant tightly, Xiaoyao sensed her anger and was restless in the sword bag.

The jade pendant was hidden at her waist, and the man in black had searched it up to her waist.

She gritted her teeth, feeling very complicated.

What would it be like if she was brought before Zhao Wuling because of this matter.

Must be a shame.

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect the jade pendant to be on her body.

If the jade pendant is not found, Zhao Wuling will not let it go.

If she had kindly sent her back, she might have been treated as a thief by him.

Would it not be as good as his wish!
Unable to feel the anger, Xiaoyao gradually calmed down, and suddenly the sword bag was pulled away, and a "stone" was thrown in.

bang.

Hit it dizzy.

Xiao Yu gathered the sword bag, threw it aside, and went into the curtain.

next day
Liu'er brought snacks from the back kitchen, but the girl was nowhere to be seen, she was so anxious that she wanted to report to the young master in the front hall.

Just as she turned around, she heard movement in the distance.

Looking closer, a slender figure shuttled through the forest at an extremely fast speed, as elusive as a ghost.

Wherever it passes, it is covered with leaves with flat cuts.

It was rare for her to see a girl practicing swordsmanship, but she was so chic and neat, it was really beautiful.

But the girl obviously found that she was coming, but she stood far away, and only slowly walked out of the forest after putting the sword back into the scabbard and putting it in the sword pouch.

She wondered if the girl was angry with what happened yesterday.

Xiao Yu walked up to her, picked up the tea and drank it down in one gulp, savoring it seriously.

"Well, this tea is good."

With such a good complexion, Liu'er's nervous heart completely relaxed, and said: "This is Biluochun who just entered the mansion this morning, the young master intends to entertain guests with this tea tomorrow, and ordered the servants to bring it for the young lady to taste."

"I see."

After taking the handkerchief from Liu'er, he wiped off his sweat and went back to the courtyard to drink a few more cups.

Since it was specifically ordered by her senior brother, she naturally wanted to taste it.

To be honest, she has no research on tea, at most she can only taste whether it is good or not, the rest, such as whether the tea color is clear and bright, whether the veins are fine and dense, whether the color is oily and so on, she doesn't know anything about it.

But in the final analysis, it is still a question of whether it is good to drink.

Thinking of this, the pressure in her heart was relieved, and she happily paired some pastries with her tea.

"Liu'er, don't be too busy."

Liu Er was cleaning the yard when she was called over.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

"Come, come, let's taste this tea together."

"No no no."

Liu'er was terrified, this tea is so expensive, it was originally used to entertain guests tomorrow, how could a servant of her status drink it.

"The girl should drink it by herself, the servant girl won't..."

Before she finished speaking, a new cup of tea was placed in front of her, Xiao Yu pouted: "Drink, don't waste it."

Just as Liu'er was about to speak, she had already got up and returned to her room, and ordered: "I ate too many grapes last night, so there is no need to bring lunch today."

"……Yes."

When the sun was setting, Xiao Yu put down the books in his hands and walked out of the room, stretched his arms and felt relieved.

Dinner is one of the dishes for tomorrow. It is a few exquisite vegetarian dishes, and the taste is very good.

Brother is so cautious and meticulous, on the one hand, it is due to his personality, on the other hand, it is also his compensation for the guilt of being away from home for many years.

Come to think of it, the mansion must be very lively tomorrow.

As she expected, early in the morning of the second day, there was a babbling sound from the front yard, it was the troupe invited by the senior.

At dawn, the play begins.

The birthday banquet started at noon, and the guests had already arrived at the door one after another. The senior brother greeted the guests at the door, and she sat under the stage to watch the play.

Thinking of the thinness of the Chu family, she proposed to greet the guests with her senior brother, but the senior brother refused and ordered Liu'er to guide her to a seat.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Jinzhou is far away from the capital, probably no one recognizes her.

But just in case.

The mansion was full of guests, greeting each other with relatives, and the scene was very lively. The corner of Chu Hong's mouth did not come down, because the guests all praised his grandson in a different way.
