The sun is hanging high during the day, and dusk is approaching, and dark clouds are pressing on the evening sky.
Not long after, heavy rain poured out from the sky, the willows and green leaves by the pond were floating all over the ground, and the lotus whimpered in the wind, trembling and falling a few petals.
When the sun was dark, Mrs. Xiao gave up the banquet.Zhen Zhu came back early, and she had a little talk with Shen Miaorong, and left the seat after she was feeling unwell.
He stayed in front of the window for a long time and heard a sound in the yard. Cui Ke came in with his body covered in wind and rain, went to the screen first, then changed his clothes before walking to Zhen Zhu.
His hands were a little cold, and he pulled her sleeves and looked out the window with a little regret. Zhuzhu, I originally wanted to take you to put on lanterns tonight, but it may not work if it rains so heavily.
Zhen Zhu shook her sleeves, looking meaningless, it doesn't matter, Ah, I don't want to go anyway.
Even if it didn't rain, she didn't plan to go with him.
In the morning, I applied makeup and wore a beautiful dress, and I felt expectation in my heart.But after returning from the banquet, Zhen Zhu washed her makeup, took off her slit rings, and only wore a homely shirt and was lazy in the room.
Cui Ke held her cheek and asked in a warm voice: What's wrong, Zhuzhu, who made you unhappy?
Zhen Zhu knocked off his hand and glared at him, "No one, stay away from me!"
Cui Ke had just returned from the Ministry of Justice and was dizzy after working for a day. Zhen Zhu was in such a bad mood. He didn't want to quarrel, so he poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly, preparing to slow down and then coax her.
In the silence, Zhen Zhu asked: Cui Ke, are you the kind of daughter of a noble family with a noble birth and virtuous virtue?I can talk to you about poetry, painting, gambling books... gambling books...
Bet on books and splash tea.Seeing that Zhen Zhu stuttered and said that it was incomplete, Cui Ke reminded him.
Yes, bet on books and pour tea!Zhen Zhu responded with a blushing face, and finally memorized a few knowledgeable words, but she forgot about it at critical moments.
Zhen Zhu turned serious and asked: Are you just looking for something like this?
Cui Ke raised his eyes and looked calm. Zhuzhu, do you want me to tell the truth?
want!Zhen Zhu is determined.
Zhen Zhu was stubborn, Cui Ke admitted: As the saying goes, marry a wife and marry a virtuous person. Zhuzhu, I am a vulgar. If it were in the past, I would follow the worldly ideas and marry a virtuous wife.
Putting down the teacup, he walked over and hugged her shoulders. Her eyes clearly distinguished black and white reflected her small shadow, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. People's marriage was not certain, and their emotional thoughts were even more accurate.
I hate it before, but I may like it later. I used to avoid it like a snake or a scorpion, but I may think about it later.
Zhen Zhu took a step back, his mind full of his words: "You can marry a virtuous wife." Thinking of the crowd of Yingying by the lotus pond, his heart was filled with sour water.
Even with her feet, she could think of Cui Ke's standards for choosing a wife. She insisted on interrogating him like abusive. I really didn't know whether to anger Cui Ke or to anger herself.
Zhen Zhu bit her lip and asked calmly: Get a wife and marry a virtuous person, take a concubine and take a spoiled wife. Do you want to take a few virtuous concubines to make up for your regrets?
What do you mean?Cui Ke's expression became cold.
Zhen Zhu turned her face away and said plainly: It's not interesting, it's just asking you whether you want to take a concubine.
He walked away sideways, tired on the bed, and continued in an unconcerned tone: Cui Ke, if you want to take a concubine, I, Zhen Zhu, will never say anything, and will not stop you from carrying someone into the room.
Cui Ke rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: Zhuzhu, what did I do wrong again?
With an innocent expression and tone, who knows whether his mother is thinking of holding a banquet to pick up a concubine for him?
Zhen Zhu has always been accustomed to speculating on Cui Ke with the greatest malicious intention, but she didn't want to say it out loud, as if she cared about him a lot.
Lifting your chin, Zhen Zhuyi was provocative, you did nothing wrong, I just wanted to be a little bitch!
He put aside his eyes and looked at him, and pouted and called out: I want to eat the three fresh wontons from Wang Mazi's house in Chongfang Street.
Chongfang Street is in the west of Chang'an City, and Anguo Duke's Mansion is close to the imperial city and in the east of the city. It takes an hour to take a carriage back and forth.
Zhen Zhu likes to eat this Wangji wonton. Cui Ke sometimes goes around to buy it for her when she is busy. When she is busy, she will send her servants to buy it.
At this moment, the sky was dim and the ground was dark outside, the wind and rain were mixed with lightning and thunder, and the flowers in the courtyard were splattering and slapping.
Cui Ke has been busy for a day and just came back from the storm. He didn't want to go out in person, but when he saw Zhen Zhu's face was unhappy, he would definitely be even more angry if he asked his servant to buy her.
Cui Ke had no choice but to respond readily: Zhuzhu, then wait a moment, I'll go out now.After saying that, he held an umbrella and did not cover his coat with the door.
The prince left, and Cuiya, who was hiding in the corner, moved her body little by little, and she was reluctant to speak: Madam...
Zhen Zhu knew Cuiya wanted to persuade her again, so she glanced at her fiercely, touched her belly and hummed happily: Cheap dad, how could it be that easy to be a good person!
I can't kill him!
The wind came and the rain went, the carriage was shaking, Cui Ke walked in the dark and finally bought the three fresh wontons that Zhen Zhu wanted to eat.
Someone came out to buy food this time, and the boss of Wang Ji wonton was surprised.
Cui Ke has been there several times before and is familiar with the boss. The boss knows that he is a pregnant wife at home and praises him as a good husband. Cui Ke smiles bitterly and says it is not easy.
The sky seemed to have a hole, and thunder rolled in heavy rain swept down. Even though Cui Ke held his umbrella, he was still wet in his clothes and muddy when he returned to the room.
Take out the food box from your arms and put the bowl of warm wontons on the table. Cui Ke called her: Zhuzhu, come and eat it quickly, it will cool down later.
Zhen Zhu turned over, lifted the gauze tent and got out of the bed slowly, walked over barefoot, picked up the porcelain spoon and scooped the soup, smacked her tongue, and spit out with a spit, pretending to be angry: Cui Ke, are you fooling me!It’s so unpalatable, it’s not from Wang Mazi’s house at all!
As he said that, he brushed the table and overturned a bowl of wontons to the ground and smashed them to pieces.
The clear soup and white-skinned wontons splashed all over the ground instantly, and there was still a ray of heat. Cui Ke's hem and upper were splashed into filth.
Cui Ke raised his hand and raised the lid of the food box to show her the sign on it, and he ate it word by word, slowly and clearly: Zhen Zhu, I didn't lie to you.
The lights in the glass were bright, making his face look whiter and even pale. His hair was still dripping with raindrops, and a cool air was emitting all over his body.
Cui Ke's lips moved, as if he sighed, as if he was helpless. He looked at her and said nothing in the end, and walked away quietly alone.
