After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 220 Spent

The Lu family was implicated because the Mei family's dead servant assassinated Hua Quanzhi. This implication should not only belong to the Lu family, but also to the Lu family of the Ministry of Industry, which has some relations with the family, but has actually been involved for three thousand miles. Do not invite the emperor to see you.

But when the family was in prosperity, Lu Yi, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, licked his face and became a vassal. At this time, the family was in trouble, and even if he wanted to make trouble, he had no chance.

Dealing with young masters and young ladies in the elite circle of the capital, if you count ten out of ten, seven out of ten will be affected by the situation.Whichever family was rejected by the emperor, in the past month's banquets and gatherings, there were hardly any male guests and female relatives from that family.

Of course, there are also people who give charcoal in a timely manner, but it depends on luck.

After all, the friendship between people can only show a "true" character in the down and out.

Apparently, Lu Qingzhu did not have such luck. In the beginning, she seldom attended the banquets hosted by noble ladies in Beijing because she was afraid of Yun Zhuo. Later, because of Li Jing's incident, she was afraid that the two princesses would use methods to retaliate , I dare not go out to make friends.But people's hearts are generally somewhat rebellious. In the past, she didn't feel anything when she stayed at home alone. Now because of her family's affairs, even the posts inviting her to see flowers and drink tea have gradually disappeared, but she feels that life is difficult.

It finally came to August [-]th, and the sound of selling flowers on Suzaku Street became more and more, and Lu Qingzhu was also happy: finally, there is a good place that is lively without being looked down upon by others.

After dressing up carefully, she went out with her personal servant girl.

On Suzaku Street on August [-]th, the cars are like flowing water and the horses are like dragons.The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the bright yellow halo pours down. There are bright and dim lanterns hanging on the long street from the street to the end of the street, which seems to dare to compete with the bright moon.A girl with hairpins on her temples walked through the alley with a flower basket, her sweet voice resounding through the crowd.

Yun Zhuo walked slowly along the street with his red sleeves on. Before he had walked for a long time, he saw a familiar figure in front of him.

Even though the tall and straight figure is in the dark, it is like Yuan Tingyue, with a kind of thick and introverted calmness. Even if the place is crowded with people and traffic is busy, only seeing him, you can still feel a little idle, as if you are standing in front of you. In a quiet room, or in the mountains.

Yun Zhuo sighed, and was about to turn around and go another way, but found that Wen Lu had already seen her, and turned his head to whisper something to the people beside him.

At any rate, I just asked someone to help me a few days ago, and Yun Zhuo very consciously walked up to greet the person standing in the shadow: "Master Xie, what a coincidence."

Xie Jie nodded and looked at her: "Since we met here, we might as well go together."

It is not difficult to see that the girl in front of her has been well-dressed, with slender willow eyebrows, pink cheeks and red lips, white teeth and bright eyes.Wearing a fragrant concubine-colored lotus-patterned soft-smoke Luozi, with a white butterfly skirt wearing a flower and a moon, and a hibiscus peacock golden step on the sideburns.

Xie Jie thought that when she came to see him, she was always dressed in homely clothes and her face turned upside down, so she implied some thoughts that she couldn't figure out clearly, and asked her, "Or is Miss Yun Si dating someone this time?"

Yun Zhuo wanted to nod for a moment, but she didn't want to go back so early, but Suzaku Street was so long in total, the two met later, and she was still alone, wouldn't it make her look very embarrassed?

So she said honestly: "No. But Mr. Xie, do you also like such a scene?"

She felt that Xie Jie was totally out of place with the bustling Zhuque Street in front of her. After all, this Zhuque Street was a scene in the world, coming from the crowd, and finally returning to the crowd.But Xie Jie is different, he is the cold moon in the sky, a gray and white vine on the green wall in the rain, he is naturally unkind.The contrast between the two was so sharp that it was hard to imagine that Xie Jie could also blend into the crowd.

Xie Jie was about to speak, but Yun Zhuo thought that he would not answer, so he changed the subject and asked, "When I came here just now, Mr. Xie had been waiting here for a long time, right?"

This time Xie Jie replied immediately: "Yes, I am looking at the lantern."

Lantern?

Yun Zhuo turned her head and glanced at the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the merchants across the street, but they were the most common style, she didn't understand what's so good about them.But I think everyone has their own preferences, for example, she also likes to see brightly colored girls, and it is normal for Xie Jie to like to watch lanterns.

She said "Oh" and said, "Then do you want to watch it for a while?"

Hearing this, Xie Jie took a look at her, he stood in the dark shadow, and thought that Yun Zhuo couldn't see his expression clearly, so this look was long and undisguised, and all emotions rolled into him.

Yun Zhuo was still looking at the lantern on the opposite side, trying to find some interest in it.

The dim lights shone on her cheeks, and even her eyebrows and eyes were infected with warmth.

Xie Jie's throat twitched slightly, and finally he couldn't help asking himself what he was expecting.

The wind blew over, the lanterns at the corner of the eaves swayed slightly, and the light and shadow that fell on Yun Zhuo's cheeks also swayed slightly. In the light and shadow of the flowers and lights, she stood there with picturesque eyes.

Xie Jie sighed inaudibly, and said, "I won't watch it."

"Then let's go." Yun Zhuo withdrew his gaze and said in a waned mood.

Xie Jie pretended not to hear the decadence in her words, and walked ahead first. After a while, when he noticed Yun Zhuo's laxity, he slowed down again, and walked beside her without looking sideways.

He was so serious that even with Yun Zhuo he had to straighten himself up, traveling in a decent manner, as if he was inspecting people's conditions.She complained silently in her heart.

"Give me a gardenia."

"Okay, take the two coins, my lord."

Yun Zhuo was preoccupied with thinking about something, but suddenly she was brought back to her thoughts by the conversation around her. She turned her head and saw an old woman with a flower basket on the street, picking up the last remaining flower from the blue flower cloth in the bamboo basket. A branch of white gardenia was handed to Xie Jie.

Xie Jie took it seriously, took out a piece of broken silver from his waist pocket, put it in the old woman's hand, and said softly: "You don't need to look for it, there are many people in the market, please slow down on your way back."

This move caused the old woman to put her hands together and thank her constantly, as if she regarded Xie Jie as a living bodhisattva who saved the suffering.

With him at the side, Yun Zhuo actually felt ashamed.

Xie Jie's slender fingers were clinging to the white gardenia, and when he turned around, he saw Yun Zhuo looking at him without saying a word, he lowered his eyes, and inserted the white gardenia in his hand into Yun Zhuo's temples like clouds.

Yun Zhuo was so frightened by him that he quickly took a step back, but was quickly pulled back by him. The rapid sound of horseshoes sounded behind her, and she passed away in a hurry.

The situation was urgent, Xie Jie pulled her harder, Yun Zhuo was unprepared, and fell into his arms suddenly, only in time to bend his arms in front of him.

After the sound of the horse's hooves faded away, Xie Jie let go of her first, and said, "I offended you, Fourth Miss."

Yun Zhuo didn't know what to say for a moment, he just looked at the ground in a daze, and stuttered: "The flower... the flower is gone."
