The heavy rain that lasted for several days only knocked off the white plum blossoms on the branches. Plum blossoms fell on the ground or on the porch, and no one cleaned them up for a while.
Lingying walked alone on the corridor. In order to avoid getting petals stuck on the soles of her shoes, she only walked carefully on tiptoes.
"Miss Lianying." Suddenly there was a call from behind.
Because Lianying was entangled by Yu Shisan a few days ago, when she heard this male voice calling, her nerves became tense subconsciously.
If the man's voice hadn't been weathered and didn't sound like Yu Shisan's, she would probably have walked away.
However, when she turned around and saw that the other party was wearing a black secret guard uniform, she subconsciously frowned.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" she asked.
Then she didn't know what she thought of, but she said cautiously, "If you are here to be a lobbyist for Yu Shisan, then you don't have to go on. I won't accept him."
The secret guard simply crossed the plum blossoms and rain dew area easily, and then said with a smile, "Why is the girl so angry? Thirteen has such a dumb temper, and he didn't mean to make the girl angry. Why should the girl care about him?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Ying's hair almost exploded. "Is he stupid? I think this world is full of stupid people."
Then she said to the guard who was blocking the person, "Get out of my way!"
"Girl, I won't give in until you listen to what I say!" the secret guard only insisted.
Lianying gave the other party a cold look, "What else do you have to say."
"Girl, actually Thirteen wants to apologize to you." The secret guard whispered.
"No need to apologize, I won't accept it either." Lingying said softly.
"Miss Lianying, there is actually a misunderstanding between Thirteen and you. Of course, this misunderstanding also has something to do with me. I hope the girl will listen to what I have to say, and then she can make her own judgment."
After listening to the secret guard's words, Lianying also realized that she probably couldn't leave now. Besides, she was not busy right now, so she said coldly, "You tell me."
Then she held her arms with both hands, just wanting to see how the secret guard would perform.
The secret guard quickly told Lianying about his previous conversation with Yu Shisan.
Then he gave some examples to prove that Yu Shisan really didn't mean anything to her. It was because he was too stupid and too reckless.
Lianying was also dubious about this. However, she still said, "You are better at talking than him. I couldn't help but believe this when you said it. I didn't know whether it was true or not."
"But if he is so trustworthy, why doesn't he come over to me to explain and apologize to me?"
"Girl, if he could explain it clearly, I wouldn't come over to explain it to you." The secret guard sighed.
Then he added, "But the girl is right, so he has to do the apology himself."
Then the secret guard called out, "Yu Shisan, come down."
Hearing his boss's call, Yu Shisan jumped down from the tree.
Then he immediately apologized to Lingying.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lianying, I made you misunderstand. I really feel sorry for you. But girl, I really wanted you to say good things to Cui Qiao for me, so I thought of giving you a gift. I admit that I do things right. That's too reckless, Miss Lianying, I'm sorry." Yu Shisan said in a low voice.
Seeing that Yu Shisan's apology was quite sincere, Cui Qiao actually believed it in her heart. After all, Yu Shisan really didn't look like such a person. At that time, she also felt that Yu Shisan was too stupid to do this. Two boats can't avoid this person. This person is too upright.
However, at that time, I was dominated by anger and shame, so I couldn't be as rational and objective as usual.
Now I see that what the secret guard said seems reasonable.
Lianying said, "Okay, I forgive you."
Upon hearing Lianying's words, Yu Shisan immediately smiled.
Then he just handed out another hairpin and said, "Miss Lianying, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it."
When she saw this, Lianying could only think of her fear of being entangled and dominated by Yu Shisan's gift, so she immediately said, "If you are still here, you won't be afraid again."
Cui Qiao misunderstood, okay, you'd better put this thing away yourself, I don't need it. "
After hearing Lianying's words, Yu Shisan's gift-giving hand trembled. He subconsciously glanced around, but fortunately there was no one around.
He put away the things in his hands, and then whispered, "Then can I ask the girl for help?"
Hearing that Yu Shisan was asking for favors from Lianying before he even delivered the things, Yu Shisan's boss couldn't help but slap his forehead, this kid was still as reckless as usual.
Not wanting Lianying to hear this, she asked, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Girl, just help me say something nice in front of Cui Qiao."
Lianying smiled bitterly and said, "Cuiqiao is probably not so easy to talk to when she is angry right now. You don't even know what she said when I went over to explain to her. I am afraid she is really angry this time."
"I know, but Miss Lianying, we still hope you can help this boy explain a few words. He is a little idiot who has no brains and doesn't know how to deal with people."
Lianying saw that it was a misunderstanding, and she felt a little guilty when she remembered that she had added fuel to the fire.
Although she didn't mean to add fuel to the fire, the fact had already happened, so she only felt that she still had an obligation to extinguish the flames.
So she only took the initiative and said, "Okay, I will try my best to help you explain in front of Cui Qiao, but don't come to Cui Qiao unless I ask you to come. Also, I think Cui Qiao may need some There are other ways to unlock the secret of love."
After listening to Lianying's words, Yu Shisan naturally nodded quickly.
"Miss, please be careful. What are we doing out of the house in such a heavy rain?" At the door of Prince Jin's Mansion, a maid held an umbrella for Cheng Susu and walked forward.
Cheng Susu only lifted the hem of her skirt slightly. She walked extremely cautiously in the rain. Then she whispered, "Yun'er, why don't you go back home first? I'll just go to a nearby shop to buy some things and then go back." .”
"That's okay, Miss Cheng. It's not safe for you to go alone. What's more, if you want to buy something, you can just ask someone in the house to take it for you."
Cheng Susu chuckled softly, "I can live in Prince Jin's Mansion and have no worries about food and clothing. It's all thanks to the blessing of Prince Jin and Princess Jin. Now I have disturbed them two enough, how can I continue to make everything troublesome?" As for them."
After hearing Cheng Susu's words, the maid remained silent.
Then the master and the servant walked away in the rain, and the concierge was obviously familiar with the master and servant, so he didn't even bother to ask.
The two of them walked from Wangliufang to East Street.
Yun'er originally thought that Cheng Susu came to East Street to buy clothes or some rouge and gouache.
I didn't expect her to close her umbrella and go to a study room. There are all kinds of books for sale in the study, including the latest picture books and poetry collections from four contemporary people.
However, most of the people who came to the study were young scholars, so suddenly I saw a woman slowly walking in from outside the study.
Many people's eyes were on Cheng Susu unconsciously.
Yun'er, who came in with Cheng Susu, was a little embarrassed and said, "Miss, it's not a good idea for us to come here."
Cheng Susu said softly, "If you feel bad, go to the wonton stall outside and wait for me. I'll buy a few books and then come find you."
Yun'er looked at the scholars in the study room, and then at the wonton stall set up in the rainstorm.
At that moment, my heart was really shaken.
She thought that Cheng Susu seemed to have been honest and did her duty these days and had never done anything immoral. She should not cause any trouble now.
So after thinking about it, Yun'er nodded and said, "Girl, come out early. I'll wait for her in front of the wonton stall."
Cheng Susu smiled and said "Hello".
Then, she would take out a few pennies from her thin brocade bag to buy wontons for Yun'er.
But Yun'er was already paid as a maid in the mansion, and after coming to Cheng Susu's side, the princess also provided an additional supplement, allowing herself to be used only for her and Cheng Susu's expenses.
And now Cheng Susu lives in the mansion. Although she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, she really doesn't have any money left.
So she quickly waved her hand and said, "Girl, I don't need you."
Give me money, I have a salary. "
After hearing this, Cheng Susu's smile dimmed. "In that case, then go over and wait for me."
Yun'er nodded at Cheng Susu's words.
As Yun'er disappeared into the rain curtain, Cheng Susu also walked into the study room.
This is a study after all. Although a group of scholars glanced at Cheng Susu a few times because of surprise, most of them closed their eyes soon after.
They were thinking that if this young lady wanted to buy anything, she would just buy some drama and picture books.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Susu didn't go that way. She went to the poetry booklet.
It seems that this is a talented woman. Someone who is observing her secretly can't help but think to herself.
However, Cheng Susu's purpose of coming here was obviously not simple. In fact, after entering the house, she secretly glanced at everyone in the inner room, except for a few dandy slaves who were choosing paintings in the painting area. Ben, there are a few poor scholars in the fourth district who are discussing something.
The only person of any value here is the young man wearing a crescent white round collar robe.
He was well-dressed and elegant and handsome. It was obvious that he was very different from others.
So after glancing around like this, she went straight to the poetry section.
While she was flipping through the poetry collection, she secretly looked at the young man.
However, the young man seemed not to have noticed his arrival.
From the moment she walked in until now, the young man didn't seem to have looked at him seriously.
Is it because I am not charming enough?
In fact, after Cheng Susu was directly rejected by the King of Jin, she became ill for several days and began to doubt herself.
After all, she has nothing now.
All she can do is hope that a good family will take her in.
