Chapter 51 Rejection
The cicadas neighed randomly, making people feel restless.

Ziling and Lushi walked away with sweat on their faces, and the handkerchiefs they were holding were already wet.

I don't know why these days, it's so hot that it makes people panic.Even under the shade of a tree, I can't feel a trace of coolness.

According to Xu Chunjun's instructions, they went to see what else needed to be added to the residence prepared for the Xu family.

After all, it is very rare for Mrs. Hou Ye to arrange a place for her, so you can't point out that people do everything meticulously.

You have to go over and take a closer look around yourself, so you can rest assured.

"Go back and tell the girl that all the big things are ready. Don't worry if you add more, wait for the family to come, and then add more." Zi Ling couldn't help but wiped his sweat again, "Today It was so hot, thank goodness I didn't call the girl out."

Xu Chunjun wanted to come in person, but both Zi Ling and Lv Shu insisted not to ask her to come out.It's so hot today!
"My good sister, let's sit down and have a rest. I can't walk anymore, and I'm very thirsty." The green oyster fan said.

"There's a herbal tea shed over there, let's sit down and have a rest." Ziling was also very thirsty, and they didn't hire a carriage, thinking it was only three streets away, so they could walk there.

Unexpectedly, the weather was frighteningly hot, even standing there motionless, the whole body was covered in sweat.

I went to the herbal tea shed and ordered two bowls of ice water. The person who ordered the tea was a mother-in-law in her sixties, but her hands and feet were extremely nimble.

Going down with a mouthful of ice water, Lvyu sighed in pain: "Now I feel like I'm still alive!"

"It's a good deal, just this bowl, don't eat too much, or you will have abdominal pain again when you go back." Ziling warned her.

"It's a pity that there is no crispy mountain here. The crispy mountain that Young Master Chen bought for us is really delicious!" Lvyu couldn't help but miss the crispy mountain that Chen Sijing bought for them. .

This is just a tea shed, and delicate food such as crispy rice balls and snow balls can only be prepared in the shop.

"I don't know what this young master Chen is, why does he appear every time he is mentioned." Zi Ling said with a smile.

Lvzhen stretched her neck, looked over Ziling's shoulder, and indeed saw Chen Sijing.

Chen Sijing was wearing an official uniform today, but the sharp-eyed Zi Ling noticed at a glance that his official uniform was different from before, obviously he had been promoted to a higher level.

Chen Sijing also saw them, and walked over with a smile, Ziling and Lvyu got up quickly.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted!" Zi Ling smiled and blessed her.

Only then did Lvshi find out, and hurriedly congratulated her.

Chen Sijing felt a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, this is all thanks to your young lady."

He was promoted because he solved Liu'er's case, and he was very grateful to Xu Chunjun in his heart.

"Your Excellency helped you that day, and we haven't had time to thank you! Thank you, Your Excellency." Zi Ling was referring to Chen Sijing's act of righteousness at the bank of Qingping Lake that day, which prevented Cui Baoyu from being violent.

"You're welcome. In the end, it's thanks to Mr. Huo who brought someone there." Chen Sijing never liked to take credit, and felt that what he did was very ordinary.

"I'm afraid my lord is still on business, so we won't bother you." Zi Ling put down the money for tea, and pulled Lvshi away.

"You two girls, please stay. I have something to ask." They walked not far, and Chen Sijing chased after them.

The two stopped quickly: "Your Excellency, if you have any orders, just say it."

Chen Sijing was holding a long thing in his hand from beginning to end, wrapped in cloth, it was impossible to tell what it was.

"This is a painting I got by accident. I want to give it to Miss Chunjun. Please help me take it back." Chen Sijing said and handed over the things in his hands.

Just as Lushi was about to pick it up, Ziling grabbed her. She seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"Thank you Master Chen, but we can't take this thing. Even if we take it back, our girl doesn't want it." Zi Ling refused with a smile.

"Miss Ziling, don't get me wrong, I just want to thank Miss Xu for helping me with the case." Chen Sijing quickly explained.

"Thank you, my lord, but our girl has already told me that this matter is not worth mentioning, so I can't ask for a gift from my lord." Zi Ling still smiled, but her attitude was very firm, "Please don't make things difficult for us, my lord."

Then, he said another blessing, pulled up the green water shield and walked away.

The rest Chen Sijing stood there for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and walked away.

He is not laughing at others, he is laughing at himself.

It's not laughing at yourself for being passionate, but laughing at yourself for being smart.

He has been wandering around here for many days, just wanting to give this thing to Xu Chunjun.

The case was closed, and he had no legitimate reason to go to Xu Chunjun again.

Nor did he get this painting by accident, but the result of a deliberate search.

It's not to thank Xu Chunjun for helping him solve the case, it's just a high-sounding excuse.

He just wanted to give Xu Chunjun something to express his heart.

After thinking about it, I felt that since Xu Chunjun named his two girls Ziling Lvshi, he must love and yearn for the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

He drew dozens of Jiangnan landscape paintings by himself, and selected the most proud one from among them, and framed it without signing it.

I only pretended to find it from other places and gave it to Xu Chunjun.

He felt that Xu Chunjun was so smart, he must be able to understand the meaning here, and he could use this to test Xu Chunjun's mind.

But who would have thought that Xu Chunjun's maid could not even pass the test.

He was not disappointed because of this, on the contrary, he liked Xu Chunjun even more in his heart.

How can such a smart woman teach the maids around her to be so polite and cautious, how can people not like her?

Maybe it's always been a long journey! "My fair lady, a gentleman likes her", the emphasis is on the word "good".

You have to work hard and work hard.

At this time, Zi Ling and Lu Chun were almost at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Lu Chun stuck out her tongue and said, "Thanks to you for stopping me just now, otherwise I would have reached out to take it. If I really took it, I couldn't send it back." gone."

"The girl must have anticipated this, so she told us in advance." Ziling said, "The girl is always cautious and careful. We must not ruin her reputation."

It turned out that after Chen Sijing bought Su Shan for them that time, Xu Chunjun specially told his two servant girls that no matter what Chen Sijing gave them, they could not take any more.

How could she fail to notice Chen Sijing's intentions?
But I have already promised Mrs. Hou Ye that sooner or later I will marry into the Zheng family.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, Chen Sijing will feel better if he is unfeeling now.

What's more, Xu Chunjun must ensure that she is not tempted, she knows that she is not qualified.
