Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 25

The morning sun shines into the courtyard, and the early summer morning wind is blowing gently over the flowers and plants in the courtyard.As soon as the old butler of the Wen Mansion opened the door, he saw the slender figure outside the door at a glance, and was stunned for a moment.

The man was wearing a simple green shirt, which had been washed and turned pale.Her hair was neatly tied, her eyebrows were gentle and handsome, and she saluted him in a gentle manner.

"Please tell me, old man. This is Wu Jili who came to Wen's house to teach Miss Wen."

The old butler was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and praised him unconsciously: "Young master is very handsome, I'll report it right away, please wait a little while."

Wu Jili nodded and stood by the door waiting with a slight smile.

After a while, the old butler came back again, bowed his hands to him, and made a gesture of invitation: "My lord, please follow this old servant."

Wu Jili thanked him and followed him into the gate of Wenfu.The moment he entered the door, he was a little dazed, and his mother's furious reprimand from last night sounded in his ears again, she said that he should walk in this door with dignity, instead of coming here as a teacher like now .

The old butler led him all the way and introduced him, saying that Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Madam were going to see him today, but because Mrs. Tai was not feeling well and Madam took care of him, she put it aside first, and said that since it was introduced by the young lady People who come here can't be wrong.

When Wu Jili heard this, the old housekeeper just pointed to the corner of the eaves hidden among the layers of flowers and trees and smiled at him: "Coincidentally, that is the Boyu residence where the young master and the young mistress lived. I don't know Mount Tai, so I don't know that the young master and the eldest young mistress are acquaintances."

Wu Jili looked at the eaves for a moment, and pursed his lips: "It's not that familiar, it's just that I met a few times when I was young."

The old butler glanced shrewdly at him, and immediately understood that if outsiders heard his words, it might implicate the innocence of the young mistress, so he shut up at the right time and continued to lead him forward.

"My young lady has always been studying in Xiyuan, so this old slave led the young master there."

Wu Jili nodded, and before leaving, he glanced at the eaves among the flowers and green trees. He was silent and solemn, just like Wen Zhaoling.Every time he saw his appearance, he felt that he was someone who could give Yuzhi a peace of mind. This thought made him very uncomfortable, but what happened in the back mountain that day made him have to admit Wen Zhaoling's sincerity to Yuzhi .

If he didn't care, he wouldn't be so reckless to protect her.

Approaching the gate of Xiyuan, the old housekeeper smiled and said to him: "This is Xiyuan, sir, please wait here for a while, Miss will come over after breakfast."

Wu Jili cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, old man."

The old housekeeper added with a smile: "My lady is straightforward, maybe a little... ahem, but she is a very good person. Madam told the old slave to pass a message to the young master, saying that please teach the young master patiently, and the reward will not be bad. you."

Just as Wu Jili was about to answer, a voice came in carelessly: "Hmph, I heard you say that about me so early in the morning!"

The old housekeeper turned his head to see the person, shook his head with a smile, and said to Wu Jili, "This is my young lady."

Wu Jili turned his head to look, and cupped his hands at Aqin who was walking over with the maid: "Wu Jili, I met Miss Wen."

The sun was shining on his shoulders, the breeze passed by, his sleeves were raised in the wind, and the smile on his lips was soft and gentle. Ah Qin looked at it for a long time before regaining her senses. She turned her head and said to the maid beside her: "Is this elder brother the benevolent boy next to Empress Guanyin?"

There was a moment of silence all around, and Wu Jili coughed awkwardly: "Miss Wen, you will be the next weak crown, how can you look like a boy?"

Aqin pursed her lips and smiled, showing two dimples on her cheeks, "Brother, I'm complimenting you on your good looks."

Wu Jili was slightly taken aback by that elder brother's call, and it took him a long time to say in a hoarse voice: "Miss, please call me sir..."

After breakfast, Yu Zhi took Que Ya'er to Mrs. Tai to pay her respects. Because Mrs. Tai was not feeling well today, she discussed Buddhism with her and comforted her for a while before returning to Bo Yuju.

Wen Zhaoling was sitting at the desk in the room writing a letter.When Yuzhi entered the room, she saw his slender fingers pinching the pen barrel and walking quickly on the paper. The half face hanging down was gentle and soft, and the hair had not been combed again, and it was a little loose. At first glance, it added a bit of laziness Unruly beauty.

Yuzhi stared at his finger holding the pen for a while, and suddenly remembered that his hand had touched her lips that day in the carriage, but she didn't know if he had touched the girl in his heart.Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sense of irritability, and suddenly turned around and left the room.

Wen Zhaoling heard the noise and looked up, only seeing her hurried footsteps from the back, a little bewildered.After thinking for a while, I couldn't remember where I offended her, so I lowered my head and continued writing.

Although she felt uncomfortable, Yuzhi went outside and told Queyaer to continue making medicine for Wen Zhaoling.Que Ya'er agreed, and was about to go to the kitchen when he remembered something, smiled and said to Yu Zhi: "Miss, do you know that Mr. Wu has arrived at Wen's house?"

It was only then that Yuzhi remembered that she had heard Mrs. Wen mention it in the morning, but she was a little absent-minded at the time and didn't pay attention.

Just as she was thinking, the person who distracted her called her: "Yuzhi, let me accompany you to Xiyuan."

Yuzhi turned her head to look, and Wen Zhaoling came out of the room, her hair had been combed by herself, and she looked radiant.She looked at his legs and hesitated: "You can go like this? You still have injuries on your legs, so let's rest in the house."

Wen Zhaoling smiled, "It's okay, I feel uncomfortable lying down all the time, it's good to go out for a walk."

Yuzhi couldn't resist him, so she had no choice but to go forward to hold his arm and help him go out.

After leaving the courtyard, Wen Zhaoling turned his head to look at her with doubts in his eyes: "Yuzhi, you seem a little unhappy, what's wrong?"

Yuzhi looked up at him and smiled, "No, I'm fine."

Wen Zhaoling's eyes flickered, but he didn't ask any more questions.She may not know her own little habits, the more respectful and polite she is, the more gentle and dignified she smiles, the more troubles will be in her heart.

Wen Zhaoling suddenly missed the scene of her eating meat buns on the carriage when she returned home that day.

Xiyuan was quiet, and Wen Zhaoling and Yuzhi approached the door slowly, almost thinking they had gone to the wrong place.In the past, there was never a time when it wasn't a place where chickens were flying like dogs. Usually, Aqin's giggling and her husband's angrily shouting and cursing about hitting her with the board could be heard from a long distance away.When has this girl been so quiet?

The two pushed open the door and walked in, walking slowly, trying not to make any noise, crossing the courtyard to the entrance of the hall, Yuzhi first poked his head to look inside, and then gave a soft "Huh" in a tone full of is surprised.

Wen Zhaoling couldn't help but walked to the door and took a look inside. He saw Wu Jili sitting upright at the small table above and looking down at a book, and Aqin was writing with a brush on the table below. , as if answering a question.

Yuzhi waved to Wen Zhaoling, signaling them to go out and talk.

The two left Xiyuan, and on the way back, Yuzhi suddenly smiled and said: "The situation just now is really like Ji Li taught me how to read, he always tests me before every class, I am satisfied Then go on to say the following content, if you are not dissatisfied, just keep repeating the previous content until I understand it."

Wen Zhaoling listened quietly without answering, but his eyes were a little sad.Why couldn't he face her day and night during those years?Thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.Grandpa only told him to be responsible, but didn't give him a chance. He was really irresponsible to him!

Yuzhi continued on the sidelines and said: "It's really gratifying to see Aqin like this. I have never seen her so obedient before. Finally, it is useful to invite Ji Li to come."

Only then did Wen Zhaoling nod his head and let out a "hmm".

Yuzhi noticed his strangeness, and gave him a strange look, "What's wrong with you? Aqin, are you unhappy?"

Wen Zhaoling shook his head with a smile, "How come? It's just a little emotional, it's rare to see Ah Qin willing to listen to someone."

Yuzhi smiled, "Yes."

There were hardly any other people to be seen along the way, and the two walked quietly, with a peaceful atmosphere.Yuzhi took Wen Zhaoling's arm and thought quietly: This really looks like an old couple who have been walking with each other for a long time.

When walking through the garden, he saw a clump of hibiscus blooming just in time, Wen Zhaoling stopped, stepped forward, picked one, and pinned it to the temple of a jade branch.

"Summer is here, but it's really fast. It's been a few months since you and I got married."

For a moment, Yuzhi didn't expect him to make such a move, she was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, "Yeah, don't tell me I haven't noticed yet, the days go by pretty fast."

Wen Zhaoling raised his hand to straighten her temples, "Do you know what it means for me to save flowers for you?"

Yuzhi thought for a while, then suddenly blushed, turned away and coughed, "I don't know."

Wen Zhaoling put his arms around her shoulders, and whispered in her ear with a smile on his face: "That's what it means."

When he spoke, the warm breath lingered around her neck, and Yu Zhi felt her face was getting hotter.Hanging down his eyes to see his slender fingers, his eyes darkened, and he pushed him away again, "Who knows which flower you want to fold?"

Wen Zhaoling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "Of course it's the flowers blooming on the jade branch, but I don't know what the lady thinks?"

Yu Zhi snorted softly: "I have no idea, so don't wrong yourself." After speaking, regardless of the injury on his leg, he walked straight forward.

Wen Zhaoling stood where she was, looking at her back with more and more bewilderment.Could it be that he really offended her?But why didn't he remember it?
