"Why are you so polite? Don't we often get together in the past? Why did Zijin go to Shu County for two years and everyone was divided?"

Su Jiaojiao warmly greeted the people on both sides, like flowers and butterflies. However, both sides were polite on the surface, but in reality they looked distant. It only made people feel that Su Jiaojiao was performing on the stage like a clown. Behind Guo Yixuan, in Jia Wenxin's eyes

His disdain was barely concealed, and he exchanged glances with several little sisters, looking at Su Jiaojiao with eyes that were almost full of contempt.

Su Jiaojiao seemed unaware that she had grown a lot in the past two years. She had a pair of peach blossom eyes with eagerness and a small nose with a bit of aura. However, because she was too thin and her cheeks were sunken, she did not look as delicate as an ordinary girl.

Han seems to have a touch of vulgar shrewdness, which makes Su Jiaojiao, who is not from a high family background, even more looked down upon by others.

But no matter how lively Su Jiaojiao is, she is just a girl who has just grown hair. Seeing that the two groups of people in front of her are too lazy to pay attention to her, her face gradually shows some embarrassment that is difficult to stand down. She smiles dryly and looks at Guo Yixuan with some eagerness.

, Guo Yixuan was unmoved. She looked at Su Zijin again, her eyes showing a trace of help for the first time.

Su Zijin saw this and opened his mouth to speak. Guo Yixing, who was behind Cui Lingchuan, did not know whether intentionally or unintentionally. He spoke first to break the deadlock, "I haven't met the two princes yet. There is news about the marriage of the fourth prince in Kyoto."

According to rumors, this is the first time we have seen two people appear together. Today is the Hail God's Day. There is a vegetarian meal prepared by the monks in the backyard. Let's go and use some together, which can be regarded as appropriate for the occasion."

Qin Jing's eyes crossed Cui Lingchuan and landed on Guo Yixing beside him, "We will see each other often in the future."

The faint voice made everyone present pick up the topic and put it down for a moment, secretly exchanging glances.

Qin Jing ignored the frowns of the people opposite him and only looked at Su Zijin beside him, "Why don't you go to some vegetarian restaurants now?"

Su Zijin shook his head, "I didn't have an appetite when I first came here."

Qin Jingjing nodded and looked at the people opposite, "You go ahead, let's walk around in Leyouyuan."

The Ninth Prince and Xiaoxia left behind them.

Everyone looked at the backs of Su Zijin and the fourth prince, and looked at each other in confusion, "Is this what I understand? The fourth prince said that he would often appear in Kyoto with Miss Su in the future? What is the charm of Su Zijin, without Mr. Cui?

, I was given the opportunity to marry the fourth prince by His Majesty, which is really enviable."

Jia Wen felt a little jealous, but also said something meaningful. After speaking, he looked at Su Jiaojiao who stayed where he was, "Your cousins ​​have left, why don't you follow? The fourth and ninth princes are all here!"

"

Jia Wenxin's clear words made Su Jiaojiao blush. She glanced at Guo Yixing covertly, and said calmly, "The fourth prince has always been dignified and cold, so I'd better go to the backyard with Miss Yixuan to taste vegetarian food."

.Is that okay? Miss Yixuan?"

Guo Yixuan smiled and said, "Of course, let's go."

As he said that, he glanced at Cui Lingchuan who had been silent since just now. Cui Lingchuan seemed to have just come back to his senses and walked towards the backyard with Guo Yixuan.

Although Su Jiaojiao managed to stay in this group of people, she still waited for everyone to start walking before following the group.

Cheng Minghui deliberately stayed at the end, holding Su Jiaojiao's arm, "Let's go, sister Jiaojiao."

A smile broke out on Su Jiaojiao's face, and the wide corners of her mouth made her thin cheeks no longer obvious. Instead, her smile, peach blossom eyes, and delicate nose made her look a bit brighter. Cheng Minghui was stunned and said, "Sister Jiaojiao

Smile more on weekdays, you look so pretty when you smile!"

Su Jiaojiao felt embarrassed and patted Cheng Minghui's arm, "Don't make fun of me."

…

Over there, Su Zijin felt at ease after leaving Guo Yixuan and others, and walked to the stream in the east. The sun had not yet risen, and the water in the stream had a hint of coolness, which felt very comfortable to the touch.

"Come and give it a try. The fine sand under this stream is really comfortable to hold."

In the eyes of the Ninth Prince, Qin Jing lifted up his robe and squatted down, reaching into the stream to feel the fineness of the water and sand.

“Really comfortable.”

"Really?!"

Su Zijin said proudly.

Qin Jing looked at Su Zijin who was playing seriously with sand in front of him, and suddenly said, "Cui Lingchuan and Guo Yixuan are not engaged yet, but they go in and out together, and they are already the default couple in Kyoto."

Su Zijin raised his head and looked at Qin Jing. He didn't know why he told him this, "I don't care how they belong to them. Haven't you noticed yet? I am a bit cold and cold, just like my cousin, I have no feelings.

I have no friendship and no like-minded people, so I’m too lazy to deal with them, let alone the irrelevant people around me.”

Seeing that Su Zijin was serious about what he said, Qin Jing nodded with a smile, "This is good. A person's energy is limited, and there is no need to give it to people who don't care. It will only increase troubles and has no other benefits."

Su Zijin nodded, "It seems we have the same idea, which is great."

Su Zijin giggled, and Qin Jing also had a smile on his lips. The Ninth Prince behind him couldn't help but complain, and looked at Xiao Xia and the Fourth Prince's Chang Suixi Inkstone beside him, "No matter how deep a person is on weekdays, at this time he can only

Laughing fool."

Xiao Xia Xiyan looked at each other and lowered his head, not daring to answer.

On the other side, Guo Yixing followed Cui Lingchuan, watching the girls learn how to decorate the vegetarian banquet with the little novice monk, and whispered, "I originally thought that the marriage grant was nonsense, but I didn't expect that now Su Zijin

When I came back, I settled the matter with the fourth prince. Brother Cui, when we broke off the engagement, was it Su Zijin who made it possible for you and Yixuan, or was he using you and Yixuan as an excuse to cling to the fourth prince? After all, the fourth prince is not only noble in birth, but also in character.

Guizhou is not someone who covets other people's fiancees."

Cui Lingchuan couldn't help but darken his face after hearing his brother's blunt words, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in pursuing the original question. No matter what Su Zijin thinks, now we have parted ways and there is no more entanglement."

Guo Yixing smacked his lips, "I always feel that there is something inside. Everyone can see Su Zijin's affection for you at the beginning. Can she break off the engagement just because you talked to Yixuan? At first, I thought she was talking to the fourth prince.

The engagement news came to stimulate you, but you didn’t expect that two years later, the engagement news turned out to be true."

Cui Lingchuan was irritated by his friend's repeated consideration of this matter. He was not interested in Su Zijin, a person who suddenly appeared and disappeared in Kyoto. His eyes were always only on one person.

Cui Lingchuan suppressed the irritability in his heart and walked away, leaving Guo Yixing where he was, thinking over and over again.

"Brother Guo, this is the most famous vegetarian dumpling in Qingxin Temple. There are not many available every day. Can you try it?"

While Guo Yixing was thinking about it, Su Jiaojiao and her maids carried a small pastry on a mat and presented it to Guo Yixing.

Guo Yixing was stunned. He had been in Kyoto for many years and had eaten this vegetarian dumpling countless times. Su Jiaojiao, on the other hand, came later and had probably never tasted the special vegetarian dumpling served by Qingxin Temple for the Hail God Festival.

But he was always considerate and considerate. He glanced at the shy-looking Su Jiaojiao and still gave face to this insignificant girl. He smiled and extended his hand, "Thank you, Miss Su."

Guo Yixing, like Cui Lingchuan, is a well-known handsome young man in Kyoto. Although he does not have Cui Lingchuan's elegant temperament, he also has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, slightly dark skin, and a somewhat angular square face, which makes him look particularly like a young man.

He is somewhat masculine. Many girls in Kyoto would secretly blush when looking at Guo Yixing, including Su Jiaojiao of course.

Su Jiaojiao handed the dumplings to Guo Yixing, and racked her brains to say more to Guo Yixing, but after thinking about it, the only interaction between them, and the one Guo Yixing might be interested in, was Su Zijin.

, so Su Jiaojiao stood there with her head raised and talked to Guo Yixing about Su Zijin, hoping to stay with her sweetheart for a while longer.

"Zijin is really ignorant. Everyone is in Kyoto, and they don't look up to meet each other. Why did he go alone? At least he should talk to Miss Yixuan and the others more. In the past two years, Miss Yixuan and Sister Wenxin have been thinking about them a lot.

Zijin."

"Oh? My sister often asks you about Su Zijin?"

Guo Yixing looked at Su Jiaojiao. When Su Jiaojiao met Guo Yixing's eyes, her heart pounded and her mind went blank. She opened her mouth and said, "Yes, during the two years in Kyoto, Zijin went to Shu County's grandpa's house.

, only Miss Yixuan would leave a message for me to invite me out to play, otherwise I would be suffocated to death by my mother at home."

"What did Yixuan ask?"

"It means what Zi Jin likes to do on weekdays, when he returns to Beijing, who he has made friends with in Shu County, who he listens to the most on weekdays, etc."

Su Jiaojiao thought for a while and told the truth.

"Miss Yixuan cares about her so much, but she is a blind wolf. She even has very little correspondence with her parents. During the Chinese New Year the year before last, the old man and his wife from the Chang family came to Kyoto for a reunion, but she didn't come back. It took more than two years before she finally returned to the capital.

.”

"Oh? Do you have anything serious to do in Shu County? After all, Su Zijin is no longer in her prime, but the old man of the Chang family can trust her to take charge of the Chang Mansion? This is a rare trust!"

Guo Yixing was surprised. Marquis Wu's family lived in seclusion in Kyoto, and Marquis Xu's wife Chang did not like to go out for banquets. Even if she went out, she rarely told people about the affairs of the inner house. Although the inner house of Marquis Wu was indeed clean and boring.

Therefore, in the past two years, when Su Zijin went out of Beijing, Wuhou's family kept a low profile again. He did not realize that Mrs. Chang had been to Kyoto.

It is difficult for children of aristocratic families to hold power. If the family has a large population, such as Cui Lingchuan's family, and the people of the previous generation do not step down, the people below will only receive a monthly salary, eat and drink, wander around or do learning.

, none of the other serious errands will be contaminated. At least you have to wait until Guanli is an adult before you can start from simple errands, and every small errand must endure the critical criticism of the elders above.

A family with a simple population is like the Guo family. They have worked hard for their status through the dragon's work. There is no oppression from the elders above, so they are relatively free. Even if there are one or two brothers born from concubines, it will not be a problem. They will be suppressed by the head of the house.

After all, the mistresses have endured hardships with their masters and worked hard together to gain their status.

But even in the Guo family, as the eldest son of the family, Guo Yixing has never done any serious errands. His father is still putting him in the Imperial College to hang out. After graduating from the Imperial College, he may go to the Kyoto garrison to make connections, or like Cui

Like Lingchuan, he went to the six departments to do paperwork, work hard, and accumulate qualifications. Then after the wedding ceremony, the man replaced his father in the house, and the bride accepted some of the favors from her mother-in-law. It seemed that the newlyweds could

He took over part of the family business, but he was always under the sight of his parents.

There is no aristocratic family in Kyoto that dares to leave a family in the hands of a junior and completely delegate power.

But Su Zijin did it.

Not only did she reassure the old man and his wife of the Chang family that they would hand over the family property, she also allowed her parents to let her go out freely for two years.

This cannot be summed up by the fact that the Su family only has one daughter, Su Zijin. Could it be that Su Zijin did something to impress the Marquis of Wu, Su Wu, and the wise old man of the Chang family, so he delegated power?

Guo Yixing's curiosity was aroused at this moment, and he even wanted to ask Su Zijin face to face how she did it.

What young people want most is to be recognized as mature and capable by their elders.

But there is no way, because of Cui Lingchuan, Su Zijin would not be willing to say anything more to him, who is Cui Lingchuan's good brother.

Thinking of this, Guo Yixing looked at Su Jiaojiao. He didn't know whether the children of Kyoto were capable or not, but they were all very clear-minded and well aware of other people's thoughts. At the moment, Su Jiaojiao was trying to flatter herself, and she was the best.

A good breakthrough.
