Chapter 6 Night Visit

Facing the wrath of Master Zhou, Zhou Sining did not panic. She calmly pulled out the sapphire she wore close to her body from her collar and said: "It's not a lie, it's a fact. Ten years ago, the He family used this

Qingyu made a marriage contract for me."

Looking at Qingyu, Zhou Sining couldn't help but hear the words He Beiting whispered in her ear before she died.

'Qingyu is a betrothal, and we will live and die in the same quilt in the same hole!'

He Beiting, this time, no matter how many hardships and dangers there are, I will live and die in the same quilt with you. I will live up to your affection and protect you with my life.

He family...

Mentioning the He family, Master Zhou's expression was a little sad. The He family and the Xia family, one in the south and one in the north, were once the backbone of the Xuan Kingdom. Unfortunately, the He family... fell after the battle ten years ago.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is still there, but the He family is no longer in the capital, and even the only remaining heir apparent rarely shows up.

"The engagement is with that prince?"

"yes."

After Master Zhou pondered for a moment, he waved his hand to Zhou Sining.

"Go ahead, I know this."

Zhou Sining stood up, bowed and retreated, but before going out, he was stopped again.

"Now that we have an engagement, we should implement it as soon as possible to avoid complications."

Zhou Sining:......

How to implement it?

Is it possible that a girl like me is asking for marriage?

If it's He Beiting, it's not impossible.

Zhou Sining thought about it all the way back to Chunwu Courtyard.

After washing and eating, Zhou Sining leaned on the couch outside with a travel journal in hand. Lonicera sat on one side, serving tea and embroidering a handkerchief.

The master and servant get along well with each other, it is warm and peaceful.

"Girl, it's getting late, let's go into the back room and have a rest." Lonicera stood up while packing up her work.

"Well, go ahead and I'll read two more pages."

Lonicera glanced at the chiming clock in the house and said: "It's the end of Xu time, it's really getting late..."

"Two pages, really just two pages." Zhou Sining looked at Lonicera's disbelieving look and said, "This article will end in two more pages. I won't be able to sleep well if I can't finish it."

Lonicera knew Zhou Sining's habits, so he bowed and left without saying anything more.

The candlelight flickered in the window, and I turned over the book with my bare hands. It was quiet and peaceful.

The night outside the window is as cool as water, with lonely shadows and mixed thoughts.

"Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Zhou Sining's drooping eyelashes trembled, he put down the book in his hand, stood up and pushed open the half-open window sash, resting his chin on his hand and lying by the window.

She knew he was there? He Beiting, who was hiding outside, was suddenly shocked that she could actually find him?

"The priceless Tegong Houkui..." Before Zhou Sining could finish his words, there was another person in front of the window.

"How did you find me?"

He Beiting, dressed in black, stood there silently, so lonely and clear that he seemed to blend into the night. If you didn't look carefully, it seemed that the night was him, and he was also the dark night, which would disappear without a trace at any time. Zhou Sining frowned.

Wrinkling her little nose, she didn't like this feeling, so she reached out and grabbed his arm.

"He Beiting, are you coming to see me?"

Looking at the little hand on his arm, He Beiting was in a trance for a moment, as if he had seen the young Zhou Sining grabbing his sleeve and acting coquettishly. After calming down, He Beiting asked the doubt in his heart, "

Do you know me?"

"I know you. You are my...brother of the He family." Zhou Sining tilted his head slightly and looked at He Beiting with a smile, whose whole body was as tense as a javelin.

"Ten years ago, you seemed to be only four years old." Glancing at Zhou Sining, who was smiling like a little fox, He Beiting shook his head helplessly and said: "Even if you are gifted and can remember things from your childhood, I am completely different from what I was ten years ago.

, what’s the truth that you can recognize at a glance?”

"Yes, what's the point? But I can recognize it at a glance."

The logic is, of course, that I have lived one life longer than you, but if you can't tell the truth, you can only lie. Zhou Sining blinked his big eyes with an innocent look on his face.

Glancing at Zhou Sining, He Beiting asked again: "How did you find me?"

"Oh, it feels like it." Zhou Sining spread his hands and continued to act rogue. "I just suddenly felt that you were coming, but I didn't expect you to actually come. Are my feelings very good?"

He Beiting glanced at Zhou Sining dubiously, turned around and left.

"you……"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I couldn't see any shadow of He Beiting in front of me, only the dark night was still like me.

"It's like this every time. You can't wait until I finish talking before leaving. I haven't said that my grandfather wants to see you yet." Zhou Sining muttered, picked up the candlestick and entered the back room.

After He Beiting left the Zhou Mansion, he did not leave in a hurry, but looked in the direction of Chunwu Courtyard and frowned in frustration. He should not have appeared in front of her, and should not have interacted with her again. But he said goodbye to the mountain behind the imperial garden.

, his mind kept replaying the scene of her throwing herself into his arms, crying and saying she missed him. Then he went to Zhou's house and entered Chunwu Courtyard for some unknown reason, and even revealed his identity by accident.

After taking a deep breath, He Beiting disappeared into the night and left without looking back.

On the ninth day of March, the sky was fine and sunny.

On the official day of Zhou Sining's birthday, the Zhou family originally planned to hold a formal flower banquet, firstly to celebrate Zhou Sining's birthday, and secondly to show the world the demeanor of the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family. Due to the incident of falling into the water, the flower banquet was cancelled.

Mrs. Zhou's wife Su decided to congratulate her daughter in her Jinyuan.

Therefore, after Zhou Sining got up and washed up, he took Lonicera to Jinyuan for dinner.

In the Jinyuan, Mrs. Su, the eldest wife of the Zhou family, was leaning on the big Kang by the window talking to her maid. When she raised her head and saw her daughter entering the room, she immediately ordered her maid to set the meal, then waved with a smile.

"Come on." Mrs. Su said as she took out an exquisite box, "In the spring of this year, your brother is going to end up. He is imprisoned in the academy by your husband and can't get out. He asked Fufeng to bring you a gift. Open it quickly.

Look what it is."

Inside the box was a pendant. The jade quality was not particularly rare, but the style was quite unique. When he rubbed the two words on the back of the pendant with his fingertips, Zhou Sining had a smile on his face.

"You like it so much? You're laughing so hard." Su joked to her daughter with a smile.

"Well, my brother carved it himself, so of course I like it." Zhou Sining pointed to the small characters on the back of the pendant and said, "Mom, here are my brother's small characters."

"Qianzhi...it's true." Mrs. Su spread her hands and pretended to complain: "I, the mother-in-law, didn't even get it, but you got it first."

"My daughter is so wronged. My mother's birth date is behind my daughter's. My brother is obviously using my daughter's birth date to practice." Zhou Sining hugged Su's arm and cried coquettishly.

Mrs. Su smiled with satisfaction. Although her daughter had been away from Beijing for many years, she was not alive at all.

The curtain was opened, and Bai Zhi, the maid next to Mrs. Su, came in, followed by the little maid carrying food.

Bai Zhi set the table with a smile, and the last thing served was a bowl of steaming noodles, with a thin layer of shredded pork on top, garnished with green vegetable leaves, and a round poached egg.

Looking at the full bowl of noodles, Zhou Sining's mouth twitched. Noodles were her least favorite thing to eat. Fortunately, she only ate them once a year.
