Wishful Things

Ten days later.

In three more days, the palace will hold a birthday banquet for the empress.

"If you really don't want to go, you don't need to go with me. After all, your body hasn't really healed, so you don't have to blame anything if you want to come to the palace."

In the Shiziyuan, Cui Shi, who had just finished sorting out the account books, said to Xu Mingyi, who was sitting beside him having a snack.

The dim sum was bought and delivered by Xu Mingshi, and they were all Xu Mingyi's favorites in the past.

At this time, she swallowed the rose cake in her mouth, took the handkerchief from Ah Kui, wiped the corners of her mouth, took two sips of tea, and said: "Mother, I'm almost healed. If I haven't gone out for a walk, my mother will let me join in the fun."

"I was thinking that you didn't like these occasions in the past." Cui's eyes were full of smiles: "Since you want to go, just go."

Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded.

She really didn't like these in the past because she was tired of coping, but now she can't just stay at home and wait for the nightmare to come.

There are many things she has to do, the first thing is to listen more, see more and think more, so that her not-so-smart mind can be filled with more useful things.

"lady."

When the mother and daughter were talking, Qingying walked in from the outside, bowed and said: "Mrs. Xiangning and the others are here."

"So fast?" Cui put down the teacup in his hand.

She just finished reconciling the accounts, and she hasn't talked to her daughter for a while yet!

Qingying couldn't help being surprised.

The madam still thinks Mrs. Xiangningbo and the others come quickly——

Xu Mingyi got up at the right time: "It just so happens that I'm going to visit my second uncle, so I won't bother my mother to hit the horse hanging."

"Then hurry up, when mother wins the money, I will buy you food later!"

Xu Mingyi agreed.

As long as it’s not ice powder——

She followed Mrs. Cui out of the inner room, and after paying respects to the ladies in Chinese clothes in turn, she left the Shiziyuan.

The card table was quickly set up, and while the four of them were chatting, Madam Xiangning looked at Cui and said, "I haven't seen the girl in your house for a long time, and she is really more dignified and beautiful now."

"It doesn't matter whose girl it is." Cui Shi was not modest.

"In this way, the rumor outside must be true?" Mrs. Wen, the wife of the Ministry of Rites, threw a card out and said in her mouth.

Cui Shi glanced at her: "What rumor?"

"It's just the rumors about the grandson of King Dingnan. It is said that General Xu rescued someone back to the capital to celebrate your girl. The grandson of King Dingnan concealed his identity and lived in your house for many days. The girl is beautiful, and she did not hesitate to agree to the happy event—but her identity was revealed later, and she was kicked out by General Xu!"

It is well known that Zhen Guogong's mansion is not compatible with Dingnan Wang's mansion.

Apart from other things, it would be a strange thing for these two families to get married.

"What kind of nonsense are these?" Cui Shi laughed.

Although it is true that Zhaozhao's beauty may make her fall in love with him, but Wu Shisun has never been lucky enough to meet Zhaozhao.

In the past ten days or so, she could almost hear all kinds of rumors about the rescue of Wu Shisun by the Duke of Zhen Guo's government.

Because most of them don't have any influence on their town government, just listen to it as a joke.

Anyway, it wasn't her family Zhaozhao who got ridiculed, but Wu Shisun, who was almost used as a joy, but now in the eyes of everyone, he is very "greedy for beauty".

But these things are just being used for chatting at the moment, there are many things in Beijing, and they will be left behind in a short time.

Xu Mingyi didn't pay much attention to these rumors.

She brought Ah Kui to Xu Yun's courtyard.

"Is Second Uncle here?"

"Go back to the girl, the second master is in the study right now."

Xu Mingyi bent his lips and smiled.

Seeing that her second uncle has been very attentive to her affairs recently.

The door of the study room was ajar, Ah Kui stepped forward and knocked twice, then gently pushed it open.

Xu Mingyi walked in, and saw drawing paper, brushes and other things placed on top of the large desk, but behind the desk it was empty, with no sign of anyone there.

His eyes searched the study for a moment, but he saw Xu Yun sleeping soundly on a low couch beside the bookshelf.

"Second Uncle..."

Xu Mingyi walked over helplessly, shaking his arm lightly.

"Why are you asleep again at this hour?"

According to the usual time when the second uncle woke up, I'm afraid it was not long after he got up-this mansion is infested with sleeping grass, there may be someone else suffering from narcolepsy?

"Zhao Zhao..."

Xu Yun barely opened his eyes, glanced at her, and was about to fall asleep again.

Xu Mingyi hurriedly shook him again: "Second Uncle, the painting you promised me is not finished yet—"

Normally, she would not come to disturb him, but Second Uncle's unreasonable behavior really makes people feel very confused.

"Things can never be finished... If you can't finish today, just do it tomorrow." Xu Yun turned over, turned his back to her, and said vaguely: "If you are lucky and die, You don't have to do it..."

"..." Xu Mingyi felt complicated when he heard it.

It's over, her second uncle seems to have become more depraved recently.

Taking a look at the half-drawn paper on the desk, Xu Mingyi resisted the urge to give his second uncle two needles to wake him up, and sighed helplessly.

Forget it, things like painting can't be forced.

Whether she can give this birthday gift or not depends on fate.

Xu Mingyi bent over and picked up the thin blanket at the side, put it half on Xu Yun's body, and took Aoi out of the study.

As soon as the master and servant went down the stone steps, they saw Zhan Yunzhu walking towards him with a servant.

"Zhao—" Zhan Yunzhu had just said the word, and then quickly changed his words with a smile: "Miss Xu is also here."

Xu Mingyi smiled.

This kind of intimacy that seems to be revealed unintentionally is the easiest for people to believe. This is really a person who has calculations in every word, every word and every action.

"Mr. Zhan came at an unfortunate time. My second uncle fell asleep in the study."

Zhan Yunzhu glanced at the study behind her after hearing the words, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, I don't have anything important to do, I just brought some people out of the city yesterday to hunt some wild game, so I sent some here.

By the way, I also prepared a copy for you, but it was not easy to send it to you directly——you are nourishing your body these days, so you can just make up for it. "

Xu Mingyi looked at the hares and other things carried by the servant behind him, and said softly, "I appreciate Brother Zhan's kindness, but five days later it will be the anniversary of my grandmother's death, and it is inconvenient to see meaty things in the house. These things, Brother Zhan Take it home and enjoy it yourself."

She had heard from Divine Doctor Qiu before that many wild game should not be eaten indiscriminately, and if she is lucky, it is also possible to eat dead people.

Zhan Yunzhu was startled when he heard that, and hurriedly said: "I was negligent... I actually forgot such an important thing. Yongkang, take the things back quickly."

The boy responded immediately and left the yard.

Zhan Yunzhu wanted to say something more, but he heard Xu Mingyi preaching in front of him: "Young Master Zhan, I have something to do, so I will go back first."

The plainly dressed girl bowed slightly to him, and left with her maid.

Looking at her back, Zhan Yunzhu frowned slightly.

He always felt that Zhaozhao was a little different from before, although he still looked like he didn't care about everything, but he always felt that something had changed.

Could it be because of the poisoning experience?

...

Soon it was time to enter the palace for a banquet.

On this day, Xu Mingyi and Cui Shi sat in the carriage together, recalling what happened in the previous life.

In her previous life, she never went to the palace to attend a banquet due to illness, but she clearly remembered that a major event happened on this day.

——an event that was so big that even she, who was in a coma at the time, could remember it deeply.
