The young swordsman didn't want to show his feelings in front of the servants, so he left with a few polite words to Zhao Xiaomei. Although he seemed to have left in a hurry and left nothing behind, in the little sister's heart, she was looking forward to redemption. As long as he came, it would be enough to change many things.
The younger sister herself couldn't believe it. She was clearly ridiculed and reprimanded by Bai Feng in that private meeting, but instead of suffering any blow, her already depressed mood plummeted even further, and instead her fighting spirit was aroused.
She originally thought that her troubles would be no easier to resolve than any unsatisfactory thing in the world. For this reason, the younger sister always wanted to have a loyal servant or friend who could whisper to her and rub her ears with her. It's a pity that things went against her wishes. All the slaves who stayed by her side all day long were other people's hawks and dogs, and they were destined not to have a heart-to-heart relationship with them.
However, this dilemma was easily broken by the young swordsman! They didn't even have time to establish mutual trust, so they arbitrarily put their futures in each other's hands.
"Why on earth? Why on earth?" The younger sister asked herself in her heart more than once. At the same time, her heart was surging and her blood was boiling. It seemed that just a moment later, countless thoughts came to her mind.
She soon came up with a not-so-bright plan. Since Bai Feng has made a great contribution this time, his father Zhao Wei must reward him according to his merits. However, Zhao Kuo is still in the period of one month to reflect on his past and cannot attend the ceremony to welcome his friend to formally surrender, so Zhao Wei The day of summoning Bai Feng should be about half a month later.
During this half month, she had enough time to plan, and she also thought of how to contact outsiders.
Letters, use the most ordinary letters to contact others. However, she had to add more oil and vinegar to the letter and bury the important content so that it would not be exposed in the eyes of those who deliberately peeked at the letter.
"Even if a lady is about to get married, wouldn't it be surprising if she wants to write a letter to an old acquaintance?" The younger sister just thought about it and immediately started drafting the letter.
This plan is indeed not brilliant, but it is also the most brilliant. Precisely because letters were easily intercepted, she was able to anticipate special situations and take precautions as early as possible.
As she wrote the letter, she gradually realized. The reason why my heart was so touched was not only because of my admiration for the young swordsman, but also because he clearly and without any taboo expressed Zhao Xiaomei's inner thoughts and desires.
Even when she started writing the letter, she still hadn't made up her mind to betray her father? Or give up this opportunity to consolidate the relationship with Woye Town? How should Yuyi Town face the coalition forces from the other six towns?
However, the young swordsman gave her a chance to give her the courage to make her own decision.
The fire in my heart that has never been ignited may burn forever because of this time.
After writing the letter, she used the excuse of being hungry to call the only servant she trusted in the house, Ah Bian, and gave him the letter with her own hands, getting rid of him and passing it on to Bai Feng and other old acquaintances.
Zhao Xiaomei was very smart. She didn't sign the letter, and she didn't even write the name of the recipient. Because this letter is nominally a farewell letter to old friends, even if A-Bian succumbs to Master Zhao Wei's order and sends the letter to another place first, others will only think that it is Miss Zhao thinking about old friendships. I will pay special attention to this letter.
However, in fact, although the letter is full of greetings, important information is hidden between the words. For example, when mentioning the date of her wedding, she would specifically state that it would be "about half a month later, when my brother Zhao Kuo will also be lifted from the ban...". Ambiguous words like this allowed her to get through, and she successfully received a reply a few days later. This was the first time she felt that her years of study had not been in vain.
There are two letters in total, one is signed Bai Feng, and the other is written by Murong Yan. Murong Yan expressed her sadness in the letter, only regretting that she didn't cherish the time she spent together in the past, and she wrote tenderly. It was obvious that she didn't know what Bai Feng had conspired with her little sister; Bai Feng's letter was much more profound. According to the little sister's request in the letter, he almost recounted in the letter how he searched for "Yixiao Huangquan" and how he met Qian Shu's eldest brother Shu Tuozi.
The mysterious "White Snake Immortal" left another legend. The thrilling story is very fascinating. For this reason, Zhao Xiaomei is looking forward to what kind of stories she can find about the Dragon Crying Sword, but she still feels disappointed when she thinks that she may not have the chance to hear such stories again in the future.
So, she read the letter again and again, thinking about how to write the next letter.
In the following days, Zhao Xiaomei looked exactly the same as before. She was still the sad and depressed Miss Zhao who stayed in her room all day long.
During the day, he followed his teacher to learn the etiquette and customs of marriage. When he had time, he went to talk to his brother Zhao Kuo. By the way, he reduced the letter from Bai Feng into a small note and secretly handed it to each other. This allowed the two of them to know the outside world in real time. status.
Only at night would she calm down and write letters.
Somehow, Zhao Xiaomei has never felt so close and yet so far away from a person. This is a strange feeling. You clearly feel that the other person is close to you, but you may never see him again.
Should I be happy? Or feel sad?
No matter what, she is a lucky person.
Time flies, and Zhao Xiaomei finally waits for the day when her brother Zhao Kuo is lifted from the ban. On this day, she deliberately put down her arrogance. After the servants accompanied her brother to wash up, she walked to Zhao Kuo's room with special feelings to comb his hair and trim his beard.
When the servants saw that Miss Zhao was so uncharacteristically sad today, with an almost farewell look on her face, they knew how strong Miss Zhao's reluctance was for Young Master Zhao. Many of them were moved by such deep family affection. They covered their faces and cried, and walked out of the house one after another.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the younger sister secretly whispered her long-planned plan to Zhao Kuo: "Brother, how will you reward Mr. Bai later?"
"How about I recommend him to serve in the army? Staying in the Zhao family is a bit humiliating." Zhao Kuo looked at the reflection in the bronze mirror in front of him and could clearly see that the younger sister still had a stiff smile. It was obvious that she had She hadn't been this happy for a while, but her haggard face could easily make people think she had just cried.
"In my opinion, Mr. Bai will never ask for a high-ranking official or a generous salary. How about we give him a mansion so that he can settle down properly?"
"Then little sister, what do you want to do?"
"I see that there is an abandoned Taiping Taoist temple in the southwest of the town. It is remote and quiet enough. Mr. Bai will definitely like it. At least it will feel better than living under someone else's roof now!"
Zhao Kuo nodded, full of joy, then pinched his little sister's little face and replied: "Thank you for your hard work these days."
