Chapter 52

Xie's back garden is not as spacious and deep as the Rongyin Hall, but the layout is also quite ingenious.This folded corridor is right on top of the water surface of a small pool, with hollowed-out flower windows on the corridor wall.The afternoon sun is shining on the surface of the pool at this moment, and the waves are bright and clear.

"Last night, I suddenly heard about your promise, and I was filled with trepidation and fear. I was wrongly loved by you, and I should have been happy to accept your order, but my heart has already returned. The king's appearance is so high, like a jade tree in a yao forest, and he is the match of a fairy in a phoenix tower. Between several years, you , I have helped me chivalrously many times, and I am grateful for your kindness, and I can only thank you and wish you far away."

Ming Yu recalled the wording in her letter last night, and there was nothing wrong with it, so she secretly let out a long breath, looked up, and met Shang Xie Zuiqiao's pair of deep black eyes.He was also looking straight at her now.

"Master Xie, do you have something to say?"

Ming Yu nodded slightly at him and asked softly.

There was silence everywhere, and a gust of wind was rushing towards me from the corner of the corridor, blowing Ming Yu's skirt, but under his naked gaze, a little dryness suddenly appeared on her back I mean, I can't hold it down.

The Xie Zuiqiao in front of her suddenly felt a little strange, she was no longer the calm and gentle son of the general's mansion in her impression.

Xie Zuiqiao pondered for a moment, and said: "I received your letter this morning. You said that you have a place in your heart, so you rejected me. I shouldn't be so brazen to disturb you anymore, but..., if it is convenient, Can you let me know which family he is from?"

Ming Yu was a little surprised.

In the letter, she used the excuse that she already belonged to him to reject him, and she also thought about it over and over again.The "home" she refers to is her own home, only in the eyes of those who see it, but they must think of it as an adult.Based on what she knew about him, Xie Zuiqiao must be a modest gentleman. Since she knew that she already had someone in mind, why would she continue to be obsessed with it?In this way, he can stop his thoughts, and he is not talking empty words.It's just that she never expected that he would ask such a question at this moment.

This is really rude, definitely not something a gentleman can ask.It's just that at this moment he actually asked.Seeing her smile slightly, her expression so calm, actually gave her an illusion, as if it was only natural for him to ask her this.

Ming Yu hesitated a little, lowered his eyes and was still thinking about how to answer, when he suddenly heard him say again: "I know it's really rude for me to ask like this. It's just that I can't match my own heart. If you reject me, there must be someone Your own reason. If you are lucky enough to let me know the real reason, I will be at ease."

Ming Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her head abruptly.Seeing him standing in front of her, the wave light blown by the wind was casting on half of his side face, the light and dark were uncertain, which made her suddenly unable to see his eyes clearly.

"If you really have someone in your heart, even though I love you, I will never annoy you out of thin air. I only hope that you will be with that person forever, Gui Fulanxin. It's just..." He paused, Then he said, "But I know that you are probably just using this as an excuse to discourage me. I love you from the bottom of my heart. If you have any worries, just let me know, and I will definitely get rid of them for you. worries."

When he said the last, his tone was extremely gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.

Ming Yu didn't know at all before that this man named Xie Zuiqiao, who she always thought was gentle and modest, could talk in such a twists and turns, but he approached him step by step, making it hard for her to avoid him.

In his eyes, she is probably really a boudoir girl who has just opened the cardamom and has no experience in the world. That's why she treats her with such an attitude and tone, as if coaxing a girl who has not experienced much in the world. Step by step, she fell into his snare.

After thinking about it for a while, Ming Yu finally met his eyes and said, "Master Xie, you have helped me so many times. I am ashamed that I didn't report anything, but now that I am loved by you again, I am even more ashamed." .Your family and my family are very different, and Mr. Xie is a figure like a banished fairy, I really can't climb up."

Xie Zuiqiao stared at her for a moment, then suddenly said: "I only ask you, are you tired of me?"

Ming Yu was startled, seeing that he was looking at her with piercing eyes, but couldn't answer.

How could she say she was bored with such a man?

Xie Zuiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at her: "You have no crush, and you are not tired of me, that's enough. If you are worried about the two families, I can assure you now. I am just a cloud in the world. I will definitely ask my father to accept it. You don’t have to think too much about this matter, I will solve it myself. You just need to stay at home and wait for my news.”

Ming Yu always thought that he was humble, gentle, and able to understand people's hearts, but she never thought that he would be so persistent.There are mixed feelings in my heart.

If there were no things from her previous life, if she was just a carefree girl, how could such a man have the heart to refuse?

She was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Young Master Xie, you are an excellent person. But I never thought of getting married so early. Please understand my state of mind."

"I know you're still young. After you get engaged, you can get married in a year or two." He looked at her, said softly, and added, "Don't worry, as long as you and I get engaged, If one or two years is not enough for you, even a few more years, I can wait, and I will never force you. If you have any troubles that cannot be solved, I will definitely help you with all my strength. I..."

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly took out a small object wrapped in a handkerchief from his waist, handed it to her and said: "If I am lucky enough to marry you, you will be the only one in my life. My love for you , just like this jade ring, the jade will not change, but the ring will never end."

When he spoke, either because of excitement or because of embarrassment, there was a faint red tide on his dark face, and his eyes were as bright as sparks, shining brightly.

Ming Yu couldn't move, let alone refuse, just stared blankly at his face.

"trust me!"

He nodded to her and said solemnly again.Suddenly he quickly pulled up one of her hands, pressed the object in her palm, squeezed her hand tightly, let go, turned around suddenly, and strode away as if he had come, the figure quickly disappeared in the At the end of the corner of the corridor.

His hands may be due to holding knives for many years, the palms are a little rough, but warm.

Chun Yuan brought An Mo with her. Although she was in the pavilion, she could vaguely hear the conversation between the two, and her heart was beating so nervously.He was also afraid that someone from Xie's mansion would pass by at this time, so he kept staring at the entrance of the porch, and suddenly saw Xie Zuiqiao turn around and stride away, but his own girl was still standing there in a daze, she gathered herself together, and hurriedly led An Mo to her side .

Although the thing in the palm of her hand was covered with a veil, as soon as she touched it, she knew it should be just like what he said, it was a jade ring.

"Sister, what are you holding?"

An Mo approached her waist, saw the thing in her hand at a glance, and opened his mouth to ask.

Ming Yu came back to her senses, quickly retracted her hands into her sleeves, and said, "It's nothing. I've been delayed for a while, hurry up and go to Mother's place."

Chunyuan had already seen it too.She knows best what items her own girl has on her hands.When you see this unfamiliar thing, you don't have to think about it, it must be Xie Zuiqiao's.They were even more taken aback, so naturally they didn't say anything, so they hurriedly coaxed An Mo to go forward, and the three of them went to the end of the veranda together. When he arrived, he said with a smile: "Mrs. Ruan's family is sending me to take a look, but I have to say goodbye."

Ming Yu exhaled and hurried to the flower hall.Went back to Rongyin Hall with Jiang Shi, had dinner as usual, went to Suixi Garden to visit the old lady, came back to wash up, told everyone to go out, and then put away the handkerchief that had been hidden since coming back He took it out, untied it, and saw that it was indeed a jade ring with a clear green body.

My love for you is like this jade ring, the jade will not change, but the ring will never end.trust me.

His words seemed to ring in her ears again.

Xie Zuiqiao in her previous life was just a stranger she had heard about a few times.Now there is such a entanglement of strands that are constantly being cut and straightened out.

received it?Return it?
That night, Ming Yu couldn't fall asleep again.

Apart from Ming Yu, who couldn't sleep, there was naturally Xie Zuiqiao this night.

It has been more than half a day since we parted.It was just a contact in the blink of an eye, but the palm of his hand holding her seemed to still retain the memory of that moment.Her hands are soft and smooth.Telling him to think of it at this moment, he still can't help but bend and hold it a few times to get rid of the tingling feeling left in his palm that made him feel as if he was being brushed by a butterfly's wing.

He received the letter in the morning.She turned him down without hesitation, the reason being that she already had someone in mind.Thinking that I was one step too late after all, I was instantly disheartened.

It's ridiculous that I still talked to her like that last night, I'm afraid in her eyes, it was all frivolity and disgust.

He went to the Yu Garden, stood for a long time at the entrance, fixedly staring at the two characters on the stone carving on the door, recalling all the past, the soreness in his heart, which cannot be described in words for a while.

What kind of man should be to call her "a place where his heart is at home"?
The first thing he thought of was his cousin.Apart from Xie Yilin, he really couldn't think of any young man in Jiangzhou who would associate with her on a daily basis, or even have a chance to win her heart.

He couldn't help but recall the scene in front of the Queen Mother Temple on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.She greeted her cousin with respect.With a smile on her face, her expression was calm, and she couldn't see the shyness or shyness that a girl should have when facing the person she loves, and she was even more frank than when facing herself.

"The first flower is good, the second is a full moon, and the best thing is to have a good family."

He thought again of the heart words on her square silk handkerchief that he still hid up till now.

That was her prayer to heaven, and it must also be the full expression of her thoughts.

What she looks forward to most is the well-being and happiness of her family.

All the past events of the old year resurfaced one by one again.At that time, she burned down the building in the middle of the night, and printed the picture book, which was obviously intended to alert others.But she was still a half-grown girl, and her two younger sisters were still naive at that time, and her behavior at such a young age was already so puzzling.Although he still doesn't quite understand all the thoughts behind her actions back then, he can only guess that it must have something to do with her family in all likelihood.

Could it be that she rejected him this time because of this inhumane reason?Is it just inconvenient to mention it to myself, or to tell myself to retreat in spite of the difficulties, so I just use "the heart has returned" to evade?

This sudden thought, like a lightning bolt splitting the dark night sky in the darkness, dispelled all the depression in his heart in an instant.

Since he first saw her at the age of 16 in Xiling Mountain, Meng County, when she was only a half-grown girl, he had already caught his eye and his heart.Now that he finally understood his intentions, how could he easily give up because of her evasion and evasion.

The jade ring was a relic left by his deceased mother, and there was a pair of them.Xie Jingzhu has one, and I will give him one, saying that it will be given to his wife in the future.This time from Jinjing to Jiangzhou, he brought it here like a ghost.I didn't dare to give her a gift like this rashly.It's only at this time that it's hard to control the ups and downs of my heart, so I made up my mind to find her and express my heart again before leaving.

He hoped she would believe her, just as he had promised her.That is a man's firm promise, firmer than gold, purer than jade, once promised, it will never be changed.
