730, this evening
The thin piece fell on Xu Shu's skirt. Zhou Jin wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Xu Shu took a step faster and held the thin piece of thing in his hand. It was a folded piece of paper. It could be seen that the words were written on it. Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and did not open it. Instead, she directly handed it back to Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin looked at the paper for a while and suddenly said, "This is written by Miss Gao!"
"Written by Sister Zhinan? Did Sister Zhinan write it to me?" Xu Shu took back her hand in surprise. She thought it was Zhou Jin's letter, so she returned it to him.
“…”
no.
Zhou Jin said silently in his heart.
Xu Shu unfolded the paper and wrote a poem on it, saying:
"The building is filled with snow and the wind blows the dream of Su Su. The year is about to end, and no one returns from thousands of miles away. I look back in a drunken eyes, and I suspect it is the moon hanging on the building. What night is it? The lights in the hometown are new."
"Sister Zhinan misses the capital, but Sister Zhinan wants to go home..." Xu Shu sighed softly, folded the paper again, but this time she held it in her hand and did not return it to Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin looked at the paper in Xu Shu's hand and said, "You always ask me about her news. Now that I have returned to Beijing, I don't know if you ask me any more, so I will ask Su Ming to send some news. Who knows that he sent this one here!"
This is the first time I heard of the name Su Ming. Xu Shu has met Li Qi and Lin Heng. It seems that Su Ming is the person Zhou Jin stayed in Rouran to take care of!
Xu Shu smiled and thanked, "You still remember it! But since you are back, I know that asking you is useless, so I will never ask you again!"
Zhou Jin looked at Xu Shu with a smile, curious in his heart, and didn't know what Gao Zhinan was good about, but it was worth Xu Shu's longing to remember.
"What night is this? The lights in the hometown are new!" Xu Shu was deeply moved by reading this poem, "My sister loves the Lantern Festival the most, because there is no curfew on this day, Gao Da's discipline is very strict, and only this day can she live a happy day without restraint! We were all young at that time..."
Recalling the past, a faint smile appeared on Xu Shu's face. The memories of Gao Zhinan were one of the few warmths that Xu Shu had in her childhood.
"Every time the Spring Festival, Sister Zhinan comes to Xu's house to wait for me early. If I can't see it, Zhinan will buy a lantern for me to hold it. Her fingers can feel the warmth of the lights, as if she can see it too! Later, Sister Zhinan goes to work with Mrs. Gao, and then..." The light on Xu Shu's face dimmed, "There are too many messy things. After all, I haven't visited the Lantern Festival for many years..."
"Do you want to see it?" Zhou Jin asked suddenly.
"Ah?" Xu Shu was stunned.
"I'll take you there!" Zhou Jin stood up and reached out to Xu Shu.
"It's so late!" Xu Shu was unmoved. "Besides, my mother was taking the Zheng family to a lantern party and she was visiting the lantern festival. What should I do if I encounter it?" If Mrs. Zheng Si saw her with a man... Xu Shu shook her head and couldn't even think about the scene. Besides, if Zhou Jin's identity cannot be seen, how could she show up in public?
"It doesn't matter if there is no curfew today, it doesn't matter if it's late!" Zhou Jin forced Xu Shu to pull up, "We hire a boat to look at the lights along the river, and we can't meet people on the street!"
Xu Shu had no choice but to put on her shoes. When she looked up, Zhou Jin had already given her cloak. Xu Shu put it on and suddenly felt something was wrong halfway through it. Although Zhou Jin was a magistrate of Rouran, she was still the prince of Dayin. Even if she was not free, she was still surrounded by slaves. There was only someone else to serve him, and there was no time for him to do it himself. In this case, why did Zhou Jin do these things to serve people so easily? He just put on shoes and socks, and now he put on her cloak. He was so skillful!
Xu Shu glanced at Zhou Jin suspiciously, and Zhou Jin touched his face blankly, "Why are you looking at me?"
Xu Shu teased, "The dignified prince, he does a good job of serving people!"
Zhou Jin pulled out Xu Shu's black hair that was pressed by her cloak and said, "That's you! I'm too lazy to take a look at others!"
"I thought you were used to it!" Zhou Jin pulled Xu Shu's hair into chaos, and Xu Shu hurriedly sorted it out with her hands.
Zhou Jin savored a different meaning in Xu Shu's words and smiled softly, "What? Did you practice my skills in the future on which other woman?"
Xu Shu couldn't help but squint Zhou Jin. She didn't have the leisure to be jealous, nor did she have the qualification to be jealous...
"It's just that you're very skilled in doing these things and are a little curious!"
Xu Shu was not jealous at all. Zhou Jin was a little disappointed. When he said that, he hoped to see Xu Shu stare at her eyes, scold him in a tone with a sour and resentful tone, and even with a coquettish tone. That was the scene he thought of, but Xu Shu's reaction was too calm. In fact, Xu Shu's calm reaction was something he should have expected long ago. If he had not robbed Xu Shu from Pingliang City at that time, a series of things would not have happened. For Xu Shu, he would have been a passerby in her life...
"Why did you forget the scene of our first meeting?" Zhou Jin inserted the loose hairpin on Xu Shu's head, "Although I am the prince's name, I live a life of sleeping in the open! Not to mention wearing clothes and pouring tea, I can do it even if I wash clothes and cook!"
Xu Shu remembered the first time she saw Zhou Jin, when Zhou Jin fell from a tree on her carriage. At that time, Wan Feng and others regarded him as a beggar. It can be seen that Zhou Jin's image at that time had nothing to do with the prince. The life of a foreign country was much more difficult than the world imagined.
Xu Shu was shocked and suddenly asked, "Can you do weaving and sewing?"
Zhou Jin blushed, and put the hood on Xu Shu with a "snap", "Let's go!" and walked backwards.
Xu Shu looked at Zhou Jin pushing open the window behind the house. She remembered that the window was always closed. Every night before going to bed, Yuzhu would check all the windows in the house to prevent any unlocked window from being blown open by the wind and causing Xu Shu to get sick.
"That's where you came in?"
"Yes!" Zhou Jin nodded, and he also came in from here last time.
“This window has always been locked!”
"This window is very open!" Zhou Jin jumped out of the window, reached out and carried Xu Shu out. Before closing the window, he took a rope and tied it to one end of the door bolt, then closed the window, and then pulled the rope, and the window locked from the inside.
Xu Shu frowned and looked at Zhou Jin, "Then how did you drive?"
Zhou Jin smiled and took out a knife to demonstrate, and closed the window again.
Chapter completed!
