Outside the Zizhu Courtyard, Yu Zhi and three others were waiting for the announcement. This is Dachu, but now the owner of Zizhu Villa is still Princess Nuomin.
I heard that a little girl in the mission fell in love with Ye Qinghuan. Yu Zhi just made a joke, but didn't find it strange at all. If no one cares about your appearance, how can other people live?
Hearing Qiu Ruoruo say that the woman was also a passionate and beautiful woman, Yu Zhi also became interested, and then he dressed himself up in front of the melting snow at his feet.
What a strange desire to win.
Qiu Ruoruo felt that Yu Zhi could not compare to Ye Muge. Feeling Qiu Ruoruo's disdainful eyes, Yu Zhi felt a little unhappy.
"Brother Xiaoyu, don't embarrass me. I admit that you are quite handsome, but..."
Yu Zhi, who had been a little happy just now, fell down again after hearing the word "but". Yu Zhi could guess what Qiu Ruoruo was going to say next. Isn't it because of the world of difference between the two?
"Stop, stop, Qiuqiu, why do you keep hitting me lately? The older I get, the less cute I am." Yu Zhi complained depressedly.
Qiu Ruoruo smiled, but she still said the same thing, "If Brother Xiaoyu really wants to bear the reputation of being a shameful person for the rest of his life, what's the use of finding that young lady?"
Yu Zhi suddenly looked embarrassed, and Ye Qinghuan glanced at Qiu Ruoruo without any trace, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There were many people outside Zizhu Villa, all of whom wanted to visit Princess Nuomin who was in the mission. Some came on horses, some in sedan chairs, and some on foot. Yu Zhi took a glance and saw that these people were all men in splendid attire. Judging from the jade around their waists and the golden crowns that bound their hair, he could tell that these were extremely wealthy children in Kyoto.
But the most lively young masters from the wealthy families in the court were nowhere to be seen. Yu Zhi guessed that the elders of each family must have locked their children at home. These days are the most sensitive and it is best not to have contact with people on the mission, otherwise it will not be easy to be labeled as treason and treason.
The calculations between officials are very deep. There are many written in history books and many excerpts, so Yu Zhi can guess a lot.
Day and night defenses cannot protect you from those who are interested, so it is better to be more cautious and guarding your home alone is the safest way.
Qiu Ruoruo waited for a while outside the Zizhu Courtyard after receiving the famous post. During this period, many people came up to chat with me, and I never felt bored. These people are all here for Qiu Ruoruo. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division under Qiu Yu manages the entire Kyoto except the imperial city. Naturally, the children of merchants like to make friends with Qiu Yu's only daughter, so as to open the door to convenience. .
Qiu Ruoruo also knew about these extremely wealthy young men and declined invitations to various dinner poetry gatherings one by one. In the end, she got bored and let Ye Qinghuan stand in the way. Many people didn't know Ye Qinghuan, and some of them who dared to make noises were punished one by one.
"Miss Qiu, please come in, Princess." The maid came out to announce.
Qiu Ruoruo thanked her and walked in front, followed by Yu Zhi and Ye Muge.
Zizhu Villa is not big, and it is more than enough to accommodate the people from the mission. The reason why the Royal Villa is called the Royal Villa is because each house is carefully designed and built by skilled craftsmen.
Therefore, Zizhu Villa is much more exquisite than the residences of ministers in Kyoto.
When the three of them saw Nuomin, she was arranging the tea set, and Dolan beside her did not have those annoyed emotions.
"I have met the princess." Qiu Ruoruo saluted respectfully. When facing the envoys, Qiu Ruoruo was very polite and was afraid of being caught.
Compared with Qiu Ruoruo, Yu Zhike was much more casual, looking around and asking the maid a few questions from time to time. Many actions made Qiu Ruoruo embarrassed.
When Nuo Min saw the three of them and Yu Zhi's unfamiliar face, she took another look, and then felt that it was not good to look at people like this, so she immediately looked away.
"Please sit down." Nuomin said.
The tea table is very long, and the three of them can sit across from Nuo Min without feeling crowded. Nuo Min poured a cup of the newly cooked Tieguanyin for the three of them.
The scalding tea was steaming, and there were some fine tea leaves floating on top of the purple sand cup.
"Miss Qiu, please." Nuo Min signaled. This is not the first time she has made tea, but it is the first time she has made tea for someone to drink.
Nuo Min was a little nervous, looking at the expressions of the three people and looking forward to their comments.
Qiu Ruoruo took a sip, but her expression did not change. Ye Qinghuan also took a sip, and there was no trace of fluctuation in his cold face.
"Is this okay?" Nuo Min wondered in her mind, "Why don't these two people have any expressions?"
Thinking like this, Nuomin looked at the last person, the young man who had been looking at her since he arrived, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Dolan, who was behind Nuo Min, was very angry when he saw Yu Zhi staring at him. "Our princess is good-looking, but you can't stare at me like this? Be careful, I'll dig your eyes out. How can a young man from Dachu be so wretched?"
When Yu Zhi drank tea, his eyes still did not leave Nuo Min, and no one noticed a trace of doubt hidden deep in his eyes.
Nuo Min was not disappointed. Yu Zhi's expression changed after he finished drinking. The flash of regret could not escape Nuo Min's eyes.
"What do you think of this top-quality Tieguanyin?" Nuo Min asked politely. She asked about Yu Zhi, directly skipping Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan. It seemed that she was only interested in Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi was stunned and didn't know why he was being asked. Logically speaking, Qiu Ruoruo should be the one to answer this question. After all, Qiu Ruoruo is a person of status.
Nuo Min looked at Yu Zhi. Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan glanced at Nuo Min and then looked at Yu Zhi.
"Not at all." Yu Zhi said bluntly, "Hasn't the princess tasted it?"
Nuo Min smiled awkwardly, then poured himself a glass, took a sip, and then asked doubtfully: "Is there something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong, it's just that the princess asked me how the tea was, and I thought it was just average." Yu Zhi said honestly.
Qiu Ruoruo kicked Yu Zhi with her foot under the table, which made Yu Zhi grimace in pain. "Princess, what he means is..."
Qiu Ruoruo paused for a long time and thought for a long time but could not figure out how to help Yu Zhi connect this sentence.
Nuomin seemed not to hear Qiu Ruoruo's voice and continued: "What do you think is... unusual?" She was like a student who was asking for advice humbly, wanting to know how to make this Tieguanyin Unusual.
"how could I know."
Yu Zhi is so straightforward in saying that he is an extremely bachelor and a scoundrel. He continued to pour himself a glass. It wasn't that it tasted good, but the warm weather made him feel a little thirsty.
Nuo Min was quite angry in her heart, and her handsome face full of heroic spirit showed this anger unabashedly.
"You are bullying me for being ignorant." Nuo Min said bluntly. The women on the grassland grew up on horses, and their temperaments were as direct as those of horses.
Yu Zhi smiled, "The princess asked me how the tea was. Although I don't understand tea, I can still tell whether it tastes good or bad. The princess can't frame me."
After saying that, Yu Zhi looked innocent again.
Nuo Min was stunned. She suddenly felt that what the young man opposite said was very reasonable. This slightly rogue young man seems to be different from those in the court.
"Why did you come to see me?"
Nuo Min changed the topic and asked Xiang Qiu Ruoruo. Her bright eyes were like the bright moon shining silver on the grassland.
Interrupted by Yu Zhi, Qiu Ruoruo almost forgot about her business. Therefore, when Nuo Min asked her, she was stunned for a moment before reacting. "There is a man named Meng Si under the princess' command?"
"Yeah. He goes to Qiu Mansion to surround Miss Qiu all day long, but he doesn't listen to me anymore." Nuo Min said.
Qiu Ruoruo didn't expect Nuomin to know about this, nor did she expect that Nuomin would say it so directly. In Qiu Ruoruo's impression, Nuo Min was not such a sharp person. At least in court, Nuo Min seemed gentle and elegant.
"Meng Si...have you bored Miss Qiu?" Nuo Min asked again.
"Well."
In Kyoto, the children of high-ranking officials and wealthy families tend to hide their words, leaving only a few words. Not being as straightforward as Nuomin made her unable to respond for a while.
"Indeed, that Meng Si comes to Qiu Mansion all day long, and it hurts the princess's face. Qiu Mansion can only receive him well. But no one likes to have a fly buzzing around him all day long."
There was this voice again. Nuomin looked at the young man who said that her tea was not good and refilled her cup after cup.
"Who's talking about a fly?!"
Dolan was angry. She had no scruples. Naturally she couldn't bear it when someone insulted Mengsi. She sneered in response: "What qualifications do you, a little beggar, have to evaluate Mengsi?"
Beggar?
Qiu Ruoruo was a little angry, she couldn't listen to these words. Yu Zhi held Qiu Ruoruo's little hand. His hand was warm. It had been hot all winter, just enough to warm Qiu Ruoruo's cold little hand.
Yu Zhi thought for a long time before he heard these two words clearly. "It sounds better than the shame of asking." He said in Qiu Ruoruo's ear.
Nuomin didn't stop Dolan, and she was a little angry. After all, Mengsi was hers and she couldn't let others slander him.
Yu Zhi was not angry, and it was much worse than this in the Wendao Academy. He glanced at Dolan, who was quite good-looking, and said with some disdain: "The girl is still too gentle, and her curse words are also a bit uneducated. If the girl has time, why not go to the four major academies in Kyoto to learn how to curse."
Dolan was speechless, and so was Nuomin. This man seemed to have no shame.
"Princess, I came here today just for the sake of my sister. In my eyes, Qiuqiu is my most precious sister. Meng Si repeatedly comes to Qiu Mansion to harass us, which makes us a little distressed. The distress is distress, the princess turns out to be a guest , you should also have the respect you deserve." Yu Zhi looked at Qiu Ruoruo fondly.
"It's just that Meng Si said that he wanted to marry Qiuqiu back to the grassland, and asked your Majesty to grant the marriage."
Nuomin and Dolan felt a sense of inexplicable creepiness at the same time. This came from this young man.
Someone insulted him, he was not angry, now it was just for Mengsi's words.
"Perhaps this is the straightforwardness of prairie people. But, in my ears, this is a threat, a very straightforward threat."
