Chapter 4 Romance

Zi Luo looked at Shuangyue in surprise, feeling the intoxicating fragrance getting closer and stronger. Suddenly, someone came out from behind the rockery on the right.

"You two stop." As you see the man's appearance, the voice also came into your ears.

"Three Young Master." Shuangyue blessed the man, and Zi Luo, who came to his senses, bowed and bowed.

"You are the new girl, are you called Zi Luo?" The third young master Qingjun narrowed his eyes and pointed at Zi Luo.

"Yes." Zi Luo suppressed the tension and fear and kept the voice calm.

But Chu Qing's words kept ringing in his mind, "The maid was insulted by the third young master before and beaten out of the mansion with sticks." Looking at Shuangyue's expression again, it must be true.

"Raise your head." Qingjun's figure was approaching, and Zi Luo could not control himself, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"What are you afraid of?" Qingjun sneered and pinched her cheek with her thumb and index finger.

The wine exhaled from his mouth floated on Zi Luo's face and floated into his nose, warm and mellow.

"Beauty is like wine, it makes people intoxicated! Hahaha!" Accompanied by the unrestrained laughter, Qingjun lowered her head and took a deep breath between Zi Luo's neck, turned around and left.

"Scent, really fragrant!" Qingjun gradually moved away, but his voice was whispering like a devil in the cochlea, which made Zi Luo shudder.

After a long time, Shuangyue pulled Ziluo's sleeves. "Ziluo, go quickly. It's too late to go back. The third lady will blame you."

Zi Luo trembled like a regaining soul, looking at Shuangyue, as if tears were confined to her eyes, waiting for the last strength to dissipate, and then gushed out.

"Don't be afraid, I won't tell them. No one else can see my son now. Let's go quickly." Shuangyue seemed to understand Zi Luo's eyes and comforted her.

"Thank you, Shuangyue." Zi Luo nodded and accelerated his pace after Shuangyue.

Afterwards, Ziluo was still immersed in the fear just now, and unconsciously followed Shuangyue to a larger yard. The two rooms were lined up side by side. This was the kitchen. She took a teapot with blue background and white patterns handed over by Shuangyue, and only heard it was almond tea.

Shuangyue held a tray with mung bean pastry, candied fruit and other foods.

I wasted some time on the way I came, and Shuangyue urged her to speed up her pace back. As I got closer and closer to the third lady's yard, Zi Luo's heart was about to rush to his throat.

"Zi Luo, if Mrs. Third Lady asks, I will say that I accidentally sprained my ankle." Shuangyue frowned slightly, and was a little nervous.

"No, I'd better sprain my ankle accidentally." Zi Luo looked at Shuangyue with guilt on his face.

As soon as they entered the yard, the two of them felt as if they were struck by lightning and were instantly dizzy.

The third lady sat in a pavilion among the flowers. Lan Yu was holding a bronze mirror and Zhuer was wearing the woven wreath on the lady's head. She added a pretty look to her charm. On the stone table in front of her was a milky white gold-patterned ceramic vase, filled with bright flowers.

"Mom, you are really the most beautiful woman in the world." The third young master Qingjun sat on the side of the third wife and drank tea.

"No matter how much you praise me, I can't help but feel angry. I've said it many times. Don't drink with your friend, read more books, and make your father happy."

"Mom, I know, I promise I won't drink anymore."

"Zhu'er, pour another cup of sobering tea for the young master."

The conversation between the two ended after seeing Zi Luo and Shuangyue.

"Why did you come back so late?" The third lady looked stern and a little angry.

"Back, Madam, it was me who accidentally sprained my ankle. Please forgive me." After Zhu'er took the teapot from Zi Luo's hand, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Retreat something useless." The third lady glanced at her and turned to Qingjun again.

"You go and get some water to prepare, and you will have to water the flowers tomorrow morning." Zhu'er said, as if they had to atone for their sins.

They retreated in response, Zi Luo always lowered his head slightly, and could still feel Qingjun's eyes coming faintly. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a frivolous smile.

After leaving the yard, Zi Luo took out the handkerchief on his chest and wiped his forehead lightly.

"It's so dangerous, thanks to the thoughtful thinking of both months, otherwise I really don't know how to answer."

"As time goes by, you will know how to answer, and you will always suffer some grievances." Shanyue could not hide her sadness and changed to another portable bucket.

Ziluo also carried a bucket of water. They wanted to fetch water from a well not far away, and then poured it into a large water tank in the third lady's yard.

The well was on the left side of the yard. They left the yard gate and turned left. The path of the cobblestones was smooth. The white, pink and purple flowers along the way felt a fresh and refined feeling compared to the beautiful flowers in the Third Lady's yard.

I soon found the well. The wellhead was hidden among the weeds. Although it was not far from the yard, it seemed a bit remote because of the rows of trees, overgrown weeds, and on the back. Shuangyue skillfully tied the wooden barrel to the rope. With a thump, Ziluo quickly turned the handle, and a bucket of water was pulled up for a moment. The moment she put the barrel down, her arm suddenly felt sour.

When Shuangyue was tying another bucket, Zi Luo caught a glance of a jade pendant in the weeds, and her heart beat violently for a moment. She pretended to fall her handkerchief to the ground and bent down to pick up the jade pendant.

In her memory, she seemed to have seen this jade pendant. She tried hard to search for the fragments in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes suddenly opened.

At that time, she was still following the butler. She was amazed at the huge courtyard of the Zhao Mansion. She walked and observed around. She seemed to see a person behind a rockery. Due to the obstruction of trees and stones, she did not see the person's appearance clearly. It was just that the jade pendant on his waist was crystal clear, delicate and smooth, reflecting a pure luster in the sunlight, which made her remember that she had never seen the jade pendant.

"Zi Luo, let's go." Hearing Shuangyue's voice, Zi Luo realized that the second bucket of water was already full without realizing it.

The two of them used all their strength to carry a bucket each, shaking back slightly, and the splashed Mercury wet the corners of their skirts, panting, but they did not dare to rest for a moment.

After three trips back and forth, I finally filled the water tank in the garden. Zi Luo felt that his arms were not his arms, and his legs were not his legs, and he was so thirsty that he was about to faint.

"You go and have a rest and drink some water." How wonderful Zhu'er's voice was at this moment.

Ziluo followed Shuangyue to a remote corner of the yard, where there was a simple small shed, a stone table, three stone benches, and a teapot and tea cup on the table. They would come here to drink some tea when they were resting.

Zi Luo sat on the stone bench and drank five glasses of water.

"How do you feel?" Shuangyue smiled and then asked with concern.

"To be honest, I'm a little tired, but I'll just get used to it."

Ziluo wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at the horizon. The colorful clouds were flowing, and the sun had already begun to set. It was probably about dinner and they were about to start to get busy again.
