Flowers are expensive

Chapter 514
Yan'er stared blankly at the small wooden sword in her hand, blinked her big eyes and said, "Me!"

"Did Yan'er want to find her cousin?"

"Yes!"

"Has your father seen the little wooden sword?"

Yan'er was about to answer, Mingyue came out from the yard suddenly, pulled Yan'er behind, asked Zuo Chan, "Are you okay? Are you interrogating Yan'er here early in the morning? Didn't you have enough interrogation last night? "

Zuo Chan stood up and said: "I just asked Yan'er a few words casually, you don't have to be so anxious."

"Of course I'm anxious! How old is Yan'er? After all, she is your niece, right? Why are you interrogating Yan'er like a prisoner?" Mingyue is a 17-year-old girl who looks a little like Qixiang, but with a few more Very delicate.Her temper is not as violent as Mingzhu, more like her father, Prince Qi.But he really got angry and didn't let Mingzhu.

Zuo Chanyin saw that he couldn't find out why, so he turned around and was about to leave, but he saw Princess Qi walking over from the garden with someone.Along with Princess Qi came her half-brother Zuo Yan, Zuo Tian's third son. "What's the matter? I heard your voice from a long distance, Mingyue?" Princess Qi approached and asked.

Mingyue turned around, plucked Yan'er's pigtails and lowered her head, and said, "Who made those irrelevant people come to my courtyard door to chatter!"

"But you are the little princess of Prince Qi's mansion, how can you speak in a rough voice? How bad is it to be heard?"

"Who can hear it?" Mingyue sneered coldly, "I've been trapped in this mansion all day, only the servants who are used to serving around me can hear it, who else would be ashamed to hear it?"

"Why do you talk like that?" Princess Qi frowned.

"Is there something wrong? I'm going to take Yan'er to practice swords!"

Ming Yue pretended not to see the man next to Princess Qi.She and Zuo Yan had read the horoscope, but since her father and brother were banned, she didn't give Zuo Yan a good look.When she pulled Yan'er and was about to go back to the hospital, Princess Qi stopped her and said, "Zuo Yan just sent an invitation card. The Zuo family will hold a tea party at Haitangzhai tomorrow. Please let me go and sit down. I don't have time." , you go for me!"

"No!" Mingyue refused straight away.

"You don't listen to my mother's words?"

"I said no, I'm going to go by yourself! I'm afraid that I won't be able to help but want to do something when I see a bunch of people from the Zuo family!" She said and pulled Yan'er back to the courtyard.

Princess Qi wanted to chase in, but Zuo Yan stopped her and said, "Why don't I go in and talk to her! She is in a bad mood, and she has a little temper."

"That's fine, tell her well for me, she will still have to obey you in the future!" Princess Qi said with a smile, and called Zuo Chanyin to leave together.

When Zuo Yan entered the courtyard, Mingyue was holding a sword, teaching Yan'er how to play with a sword.She pretended not to see Zuo Yan, and taught herself as usual, but Yan'er was not paying attention, stopped and shouted at Zuo Yan: "Brother Zuo Yan, are you looking for my little aunt?"

"Yan'er, ignore him! Let's practice ours." Mingyue patted Yan'er's little head and said.

"Oh..." Yan'er nodded obediently, and danced twice with the wooden sword in her two small hands.Zuo Yan sat down with a smile and said, "Yan'er can also play sword?"

"Yes! I know Dongguo Yishi..."

"Yan'er," Mingyue turned Yan'er's head and said with a serious expression, "Did you forget what little aunt said? If you talk to him again, little aunt won't teach you Dongguo Ershi."

"What did your little aunt say, Yan'er?" Zuo Yan asked with a smile.

Yan'er just wanted to speak, but was blocked by Mingyue.Mingyue shook the sword in her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Your surname is Zuo, what are you doing here? Are you interrogating prisoners?"

"I'm just curious about what you said to Yan'er."

"What I said to Yan'er has nothing to do with you, understand? If there's nothing to do, you can go! I don't want to talk to people surnamed Zuo."

Zuo Yan smiled helplessly and said, "I know you've been suffocated after being locked up in the palace these days. So tomorrow you can go to Haitang Zhai to relax. I heard that there is a very interesting theater troupe coming to the city. Grandma likes it very much, and specially held a tea party in Haitang Zhai, and invited all the family members to go and see it. You should go and see it too, I'm sure you will like it."

Mingyue pointed at Zuo Yan with the tip of her sword, raised her eyebrows and said, "Even if I suffocate to death in Prince Qi's mansion, I won't do your business! I won't go tomorrow, please, don't disturb me and Yan'er Practice sword."

Zuo Yan lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the gleaming sword tip, and still said with a smile on his face: "I know you won't do anything to the people of the Zuo family, because the lives of your father and brother are still in the hands of our Zuo family."

"You really have the face to say it! Do you really think that I dare not wipe your neck with a sword?" Mingyue threatened Zuo Yan's neck with the point of the sword.Zuo Yan gently pushed aside the tip of the sword and said: "Don't scare Yan'er, be careful and have nightmares at night!"

"Our Yan'er is the daughter of the Dongguo family, so she won't be so delicate like those daughters! Isn't it, Yan'er?" Mingyue was a little complacent, and she turned her head and smiled at Yan'er. Turning his head, Zuo Yan quickly grabbed her wrist, and with a little effort, the sword was in Zuo Yan's hand.

Yan'er couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing: "Brother Zuo Yan is so powerful! What kind of move is this called? Is brother Zuo Yan the same move? Teach me, okay?"

Mingyue blushed with anger, glared at Zuo Yan and said, "Yan'er, this is not serious, it's sneak attack! Only people with no skills would do this kind of thing. Their Zuo family is best at sneak attack. Our Dong Guo People from the family don't want to learn their dirty moves!"

Zuo Yan smiled lightly, threw the sword aside, took out a small package from his sleeve, shook Yan'er and said, "Do you want it, Yan'er? It's a beautiful bead."

"Yes!" Yan'er ran over immediately.

Zuo Yan opened the kit, took out two round and smooth pearls, put them in Yan'er's hands and said with a smile: "These two are for Yan'er, Yan'er will go to your mother first, let me talk to your little aunt okay?"

Little girls like those shiny beads, especially the two big East beads. Yan'er immediately beamed and ran out to find her mother holding the beads.

"Heh! Dongguo Yanran, can you be promising? You were bought by two little beads. Hey, Yan'er, come back! Do you hear me, come back to me quickly!"

Yan'er ran away long ago and disappeared, so why bother with Mingyue shouting behind her!Mingyue stomped her feet angrily, gave Zuo Yan a blank look, and asked with her hands on her hips, "What the hell are you trying to say? Do you just want to explain about going to Haitangzhai tomorrow? Save yourself, I won't go! I'm going now As soon as I saw your surname Zuo, I wanted to end it with a sword!"

Zuo Yan handed over the kit containing pearls and said: "The newly arrived Dongzhu, each one is at least nine points or more. I gave Yan'er two pink ones just now, and there are still twelve white ones in it. Powdery."

Mingyue turned her head to look at him, and asked expressionlessly: "Master Zuo Yan, do you think I'm still in the mood to collect beads to make bracelets? Keep these things for yourself, I don't need them!"

"Can you sit down and listen to me?"

"cannot!"

"Tomorrow is my mother's death day."

"Guan..." Ming Zhu originally wanted to scold someone, but when she heard Zuo Yan talking about his mother's death day, she still endured it and went back.

"Go to Haitang Zhai first tomorrow, and then go to the temple to perform rituals for my mother. I will tell you one thing then."

"Can't you say it right now?"

"Do you think it's suitable?" Zuo Yan squinted and said softly outside the courtyard gate.

Mingyue was confused by his cautious expression, she was clearly an enemy, why did she still look like her own?What exactly is he trying to tell himself?Make it mysterious!

"It's just the two of us going to the temple tomorrow, the rest of the Zuo family won't go, and they don't even remember that tomorrow is my mother's death day."

"Just me and you?" Mingyue sat down opposite Zuo Yan, frowned, "I'm worried, why don't you bring Mingzhu and Yan'er with you?"

"Do you think your sister is a reliable person?"

"Don't talk about her like that!"

"Is that so?"

"Uh..." Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "She's not very reliable, but what exactly do you want to tell me? Why can't you say it now?"

"You'll know when you go," Zuo Yan took her hand, put the bag in her palm and said, "Remember, you can go alone. I will come to pick you up in person tomorrow morning. Keep the beads, I'm leaving first!"

After Zuo Yan walked away, Mingyue opened the kit and poured out more than a dozen big and bright beads.She is a pearl lover, and the pearls are the most in the jewelry box.Looking at those beads that each scored at least ten points, she was quite happy in her heart.However, when she thought that Zuo Yan's surname was Zuo, her joy disappeared.

"Wow! So many beads! Did Zuo Yan send them?" Mingzhu suddenly walked in and said.

"It was given by him," Mingyue said while collecting the beads, "but I'm going to throw them in the corner. What are you doing here?"

"I heard that Zuo Yan is here, and I want to ask him about the outside world."

"Resentful woman!" Mingyue rolled her eyes at Mingzhu and said, "I knew to ask about the whereabouts of your elder brother Zhaoxun. Are you not worried about family affairs at all?"

Mingzhu shrugged and said, "Is it useful for me to worry? Is it useful for you to worry about it? Besides, I worry about brother Zhaoxun just like I worry about brother Yuanyin!"

"Didn't Mother say that? Your marriage to Mr. Zhao Xun has been cancelled, and I want to find another good husband for you!"

"I do not want!"

"Mother is so domineering, don't you want it if you don't want it?"

"Then do you want to marry Zuo Yan? I think Mother has made up her mind to marry you to him so that she can win ties with the Zuo family!" Mingzhu said with winks.

"Don't even think about it!" Mingyue tugged at the tie of the kit, pouting, "I'd rather die than marry into the Zuo family!"

The next morning, Zuo Yan came to pick up Mingyue on time.Although Mingzhu really wanted to go, Princess Qi refused to let her go out.She had no choice but to watch Mingyue leave. Before she left, she gave thousands of instructions to inquire about Zhaoxun's whereabouts.

The two small sedan chairs soon arrived at the gate of Haitang Zhai.Zuo Yan led Mingyue into the door, and before he reached the atrium, he heard a burst of laughter coming from the backyard.Mingyue asked Zuo Yan, "Did you invite many people today?"

Zuo Yan nodded and said: "In addition to Zuo's own family, we also invited several families with frequent contacts in the city, including Yu's."

As soon as Yu's family was mentioned, Mingyue snorted coldly and said, "Besides your Zuo family, people from Yu's family are also the last thing I want to see!"

"You don't have to treat them as the same thing," Zuo Yan turned his head and smiled at her, "Just treat them as a group of unrelated people."

"What exactly do you want to tell me? Can't you say it in advance?" Mingyue asked unwillingly.

"Go see my grandma first!"

Mingyue bulged her cheeks, rolled her eyes, and followed Zuo Yan reluctantly.In the garden, Mrs. Zuo was surrounded like old birthday stars, chatting happily with the two noble ladies beside her, and burst into hearty laughter from time to time.

Zuo Yan walked up to her and saluted, and said respectfully: "Grandma, Princess Qi couldn't come because of something, so I asked Mingyue to come here to say hello."
