Chapter 276
Although the lotus pond in the south in late autumn is no longer as prosperous as it was in midsummer, it is not desolate, especially under the care of a few old masters, it is still full of greenery.

The source of the pond water is at the other end of the Dai Mansion, and it draws running water. Those river lanterns come along the water. From the island in the middle of the lake, it looks like a dancing red flame coming slowly, and gradually drifting away with the current.

Xu Jiatong has never seen such a magnificent scene, like many jumping flowers rushing towards her, she is far away from those flowers, and can only see the gorgeous light and shadow, but she has a feeling that the heat of the flame Already close at hand.

So warm, so close, she had never felt such warmth, it melted her eyes and her heart.

"Phoenix Palace is surrounded by wealth and honor in the world, but once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. Few people can get such a bright and romantic feeling." Zhao Yuanshen said.

"I don't know much about the affairs of the palace, but I also know that these places of wealth and glory have been the most controversial since ancient times, and the ones who can enjoy unlimited glory are always only the most powerful ones. Either the nobles come from the sky, have a good background, or make a living every step of the way. , Give everything in exchange. I am not the former, and I don't want to be the latter." Xu Jiatong's voice was very soft, and it sounded a bit vague in the night wind.

"Is this why you agreed?" Zhao Yuanshen was a little displeased, but he didn't realize this displeasure himself.

"How important a woman's reputation is. Although I only agreed to be a couple with you in name, there must be a very important reason. If I say that I love you, I will not hide it from you. It may not be that I can't, but I dare not You are a god-like existence in my heart, how could I use other thoughts to blaspheme you? I will agree, more because I don't want to spend my life on things that have no results." Xu Jiatong said.

Zhao Yuanshen didn't look at her, his expression was unclear: "The wealth and honor in the palace is just a fruitless matter for you?"

"Maybe there will be results, but the more I get, the more I lose. I don't want my grandmother to be old and helpless, and I don't want to wait until I get a lot, she is no longer alive. And the fifth sister, I don't want to look at her I was struggling alone in the Yang Mansion with a crazy person. I may not be able to do much outside, but I can always do more." Xu Jiatong smiled.

"It seems that I am the least important one in this matter. If you say it, you are not afraid that I will take back everything I gave you?" Zhao Yuanshen admitted helplessly that he was a little unwilling.

"Master Dai, you have too much, and there are too many people who ask for you. Would you cut off contact with them just because they asked for something? Maybe you can also regard me as one of them. " Xu Jiatong said.

"Then I will ask for more, what can you give me?" Zhao Yuanshen said annoyed.

"I can't give you much, and I don't have the ability, but I can guarantee that I will do all my duty to you. You don't have to worry about me. I have nothing but rely on you. I am a People who are afraid of losing, so they will not betray." Xu Jiatong smiled, she still has some credibility.

At this moment, the boat came over, and Zhao Qiyun was the one who was rocking the boat. The two of them got on board and talked on the other side of the boat.

The boat went up against the current, and those dazzling river lanterns gradually floated closer to them, blending their figures into the sea of ​​soft light.

The two looked at the scenery in front of them and didn't speak for a while.The surrounding area was extremely silent, leaving only the sound of the wind and the thin stream of water.

"Well, if you don't have too much hope, you won't be too disappointed." Zhao Yuanshen didn't say this to himself, but seemed to indicate something to Xu Jiatong, "Xu Jiatong, remember your today words."

"Master Dai, please don't worry, I will serve you and Dai's residence faithfully." Xu Jiatong smiled and bowed, promising.

"No, what I'm saying is that you treat me like a master or a servant, or respect, or treat me like an elder brother, nothing else." Zhao Yuanshen said.

Xu Jiatong was stunned for a moment, his heartbeat dropped for no reason, before he said in a daze, "Okay, nothing else, you don't have to worry, when you have someone you love, I will naturally let Xianqiu go."

The small boat was in the middle of the lake at this time, and the scenery was just right, but Zhao Yuanshen suddenly turned his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Drop to the shore, it's cold, you can go back first."

Zhao Qiyun kept listening to their words, secretly worried about them, he really wanted to park the boat in the middle of the lake, and let the cold night wind wake them both up.

But Zhao Qiyun lived under Zhao Yuanshen's intimidation for many years, and before he could come up with an idea, his hands and feet were one step ahead of his mouth, and he slavishly shook the boat towards the shore.

"Why did you arrange these river lanterns today?" Xu Jiatong was puzzled.

"Why do you think?" If it wasn't for her upbringing, Zhao Yuanshen really wanted to give her a blank look.

"Maybe this day is different." Xu Jiatong guessed, but in fact, this day also has a distant meaning to her.

"I just want you to see the beauty outside the palace so that you won't linger." Zhao Yuanshen wanted to kick her into the water at this moment.

He had arranged all of this deliberately, and there was a meaning, as she said, that this day was unusual.Another meaning is that he can't help it. Thinking of her going into the palace to face those unbearable people and things, he wants to give her more warmth so that she will remember it in the cold night.

"Well, I won't linger, but thank you anyway, I'm afraid I won't forget this scene until the day I close my eyes and pass away." Xiaozhou landed at this time, and Xu Jiatong said goodbye with blessings , Lift your feet and go ashore.

"Today is my mother's memorial day. Maybe many years ago, she was just like you." Zhao Yuanshen said suddenly, and then quickly said, "Chess basket, go back."

"Elder?" Xu Jiatong was about to think about the connection, but Xiao Zhou left the shore.

Before Xu Jiatong uttered these words, Xiao Zhou had already drifted away from her. Zhao Yuanshen stood facing her at the bow of the boat, his figure tall and elegant.

At this time, some river lanterns floated to the shore, among them, the flames were not as bright as before, and the wicks that were about to burn out were trying their last sliver of energy to emit their light.

Is this the memorial day for Dai Yuanguan's biological mother?It's a coincidence that this day is also the memorial day of her biological mother Du Shi.

It's just that Xu Jiatong vaguely felt that her biological mother was not welcomed by the family since she was a child, and she couldn't protect herself, and she didn't deliberately commemorate it. The impression is very vague, but she is not completely unimpressed.

There is still such a connection between them somewhere?Since they met, although he treated people harshly and often made her sulk for several days in a row, he always treated her very well, especially at critical moments, and never stingy with supporting her.

She kept thinking about the reasons for this, and then gradually figured out some truths.
