"Jin Ping seems to be a pretty good kid since he was a kid..."
"People change, not to mention that he is just an outsider. It is impossible for my grandfather to pay too much attention to him. It is normal not to notice that something is wrong."
Duke Zhen Guo looked at his granddaughter: "Zhao Zhao... Listening to what you mean, you are actually sure that he must have ulterior motives?"
In fact, nothing can be determined just by inquiring into some family affairs.
Xu Mingyi nodded without hesitation: "Grandpa, I have gotten along with him more, and I know better his character."
The Duke of Zhen Guo nodded.
One is an outsider and the other is his granddaughter. He believes that Zhaozhao's judgment must be based on evidence.
"The plans of the Zhan family are still uncertain at the moment. I talked about this matter with my grandfather to make him more cautious about the Zhan family."
When the same people do the same thing, unintentional people will not think there is anything wrong, but intentional people can often detect the differences in time.
Only by being a thoughtful person can you avoid many calculations and troubles.
The Duke of Zhenguo responded to this matter.
The night is getting darker, and the tea has been changed several times in the study.
Seeing his granddaughter yawning, the Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said: "Silly girl, go back to bed quickly. If you have anything to say, it will be the same tomorrow."
This child, several times I talked about things with him, always ended up falling asleep, as if I was afraid that I wouldn't have a chance to talk to him in detail.
Feeling sleepy, Xu Mingyi didn't hold on.
"Then I will go back first, and grandpa will rest early."
The Duke of Zhen Guo nodded and told Ah Zhu: "Take good care of the girl."
"yes."
After Xu Mingyi returned to Xiyuan, Akui quickly called for hot water for bathing.
Xu Mingyi was already a little drowsy. While waiting, she sat in front of the dressing table and rested her cheek on her hands, lost in thought.
The girl must be using her amazing beauty to cheer her up, right? This is really a good idea - Akui thought in her heart.
At this time, a cool night breeze flowed into the room, and the little girl quickly went to close the window.
However, as soon as he walked to the window, a dark shadow broke into his eyes.
"Oh!"
Akui exclaimed, and before she had time to see clearly what it was, she hurriedly closed the two carved windows with a "snap".
"What's wrong?"
Xu Mingyi turned around when he heard the sound.
"Girl, I don't know what's going on outside..." As Akui was speaking, he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" tapping on the window lattice.
Xu Mingyi understood after hearing the sound.
"It's okay, just open the window."
"yes……"
Although Akui was a little hesitant, she still obeyed and opened the window.
On the windowsill, a pair of eagle eyes met hers.
Aoi's eyes widened.
Why is this vulture here again!
Are you really planning to build a nest outside their girl’s window and lay eggs?
Tianmu flapped his wings and flew straight into the house.
Akui was shocked.
When she came here before, she just stayed outside the window, looking very disciplined and sensible, and she secretly thought that she was spiritual... But why did she fly into the girl's house now?
"Girl...do you want to call Ah Zhu over?"
Akui stood beside Xu Mingyi in a panic.
This is a raptor, you shouldn't be careless!
However, they saw that the raptor did not fly around, nor did it mean to hurt anyone. Instead, it landed on the ground and walked swaggering in the direction of their girl.
"Don't be afraid. Since it entered the house, I think it has a reason." Xu Mingyi stood up and reassured Akui.
Taking a closer look, I saw that the big bird's feet were tied with a small piece of bamboo tube as thick as a thumb.
Xu Mingyi bent down and took off the bamboo tube, and took a look at the big bird with its chest and head held high.
If you are on business, you will naturally feel confident when you step in, and you will not be afraid of being kicked out.
Xu Mingyi took out the note from the bamboo tube and unfolded it to read.
The writing on it is clean and neat - Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, the sound of snow will come to the teahouse.
"Take it and burn it."
Xu Mingyi casually handed the note to Akui.
"Yes..." Akui, who was still shocked, took it in her hand, and before going out, she glanced at the big bird in surprise.
What kind of weird person would raise such a thing as a homing pigeon...
Xu Mingyi took out a piece of beef jerky from the clay pot on the side table and fed it to the big bird's mouth.
The big bird ate the dried meat and turned around happily.
"Go back." Xu Mingyi said.
The big bird stood motionless.
"If you don't go back, how will he know if the letter has been delivered?"
The big bird remained motionless.
Xu Mingyi twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.
...This guy really doesn't care about his master's mood as always.
She turned around and took out two more pieces of dried meat.
"If you go back obediently, you can still have this when you come back next time..."
After the big bird finished eating the two pieces of dried meat, it flew out of the window without any delay - it will come back tomorrow!
Looking at the big bird leaving, Xu Mingyi patted the dried meat crumbs on his hands.
She hadn't finished what she said - she would indeed be able to eat it next time she came back, but this time the letter had also been delivered, and it was hard to say whether Wu Chao, who thought he had failed to discipline him well, would allow it to wander around again.
After coaxing Big Bird to leave, Miss Xu didn't feel any guilt at all. After taking a bath, she fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. She stayed dreamless all night until dawn.
…
The next day, Xu Mingyi got up early and went out after breakfast.
When passing by the front yard, I met Xu Mingshi with his servant.
The boy Ah Jiu was holding a few books and a pencil case in his arms, and he was obviously going to accompany Xu Mingshi to the study hall.
The Xu family had its own school, and hired respected teachers to teach. There were also children from other families studying in the school, most of whom were friends with the Duke of Zhen and were about the same age as Xu Mingshi.
"Why are you going out this early in the morning?" Xu Mingshi asked seriously.
He hadn't seen Xu Mingyi get up so early for a long time, and it seemed that his spirits had indeed improved.
"Go out for a walk." Xu Mingyi said with a smile: "I haven't been out for a while, and I just wanted to buy some rouge."
Xu Mingshi curled his lips slightly.
Go out to buy rouge?
Who believes it?
I'm afraid that because of the imperial edict that was praised by the palace yesterday, I have to go out and show off today, right?
But this is indeed very clear.
Nothing to be surprised about.
"Oh, remember to come back early." Xu Mingshi said lukewarmly: "My father and I have agreed to barbecue in the garden tonight, and I have prepared the plum sauce you like."
"good."
Xu Mingyi nodded and urged: "Go quickly, if you are late, Mr. Mo will slap your palm."
"……knew."
Xu Mingshi's scalp went numb when he was reminded, and he left quickly with Ah Jiu.
Seeing his younger brother walking away in a hurry, Xu Mingyi curled his lips in a good mood.
It's cool today, so it's really suitable for barbecue in the garden.
The carriage left the Zhenguo Palace and slowly drove out of Qingyunfang.
"Girl, we're here."
In front of a teahouse, the coachman stopped the carriage.
Xu Mingyi took Ah Zhu out of the carriage, looked up at the teahouse in front of him, and looked around again.
