Ling Xiao pushed the door open and saw her, Zuo Xiangning, sitting alone at the table drawing flowers.

"I'm not afraid of exhausting my eyes." Ling Xiao walked to Zuo Xiangning, looked at her painting of mandarin ducks playing with lotus, and asked with a smile: "Are you preparing to embroider the dowry?"

"I'm going to embroider pillows for my eldest brother and sister Min." Zuo Xiangning rolled her eyes at him.

"How long will it take you to embroider it yourself? I'll have someone go to Jiangnan tomorrow to buy a ready-made set." Ling Xiao took off his coat as if he were back at home, wearing only his robe, and walked to the left Xiang Ning's side held her in her arms.

"Can the one I bought be the same as the one I embroidered for them?" Zuo Xiangning looked up at him with a red face, reaching out to take off his mask, "You don't have to wear this in front of me."

Ling Xiao just wanted to dodge, but then he allowed her to take off the mask and put it on the table next to her without moving.

"Why are you here?"

"Why do you think I came here?" Ling Xiao leaned over, pressed his forehead against hers, and asked softly: "I want to ask you, when can I come to your house to propose marriage?"

Zuo Xiangning frowned secretly and told her about the fact that the emperor wanted to marry her and Gu Zhiqing before entering the palace, "No matter what, we have to wait until near the end of the year."

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will ask the emperor for marriage myself." Ling Xiao said, "I will mention it to the emperor after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Are you too anxious?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly, "What if the emperor doesn't agree?"

"At worst, I won't be the Marquis." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I just don't know if you are willing?"

Zuo Xiangning raised her long eyelashes and said seriously: "Of course I am willing, but my family may not be willing."

"Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it." Ling Xiao touched her long and smooth hair and asked softly: "When do you have time? Can I take you to the house to see it?"

"Wait until I see my third brother off." Zuo Xiangning put her arms around his waist.

"Should I take you to Deyuelou to eat roast duck tomorrow?" Ling Xiao now wished he could be with her every day. "How about you go to Mingyue Mountain Villa tomorrow and I will accompany you."

"I told you, I have to see my third brother off these days." Zuo Xiangning smiled and pushed him away gently, "I just made a pot of scented tea. Try it. If you think it's good, I'll Get you some."

"I come to your place to drink every day." Ling Xiao followed her and sat at the table, "I can't live in Furui Pawnshop now, so I live in the front yard of the new house. I want you to see the inner yard. , start packing again, I will ask people to prepare everything. You pick a place and build a flower room. There is also a small lotus pond in the backyard. I plan to build the study there. You can usually read and draw there. .”

Zuo Xiangning poured him a cup of tea and listened to him with a smile.

"There is an open space on the east side of the yard. I want to build a martial arts training ground. In the future, children can practice archery there..."

Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but blush when she heard that he had even thought about the children in the future, "You have already thought about it, what else do you want me to see?"

"Don't I still have to listen to you?" Ling Xiao looked at her affectionately.

"Just say it nicely." Zuo Xiangning said angrily.

"What I said is true." Ling Xiao answered seriously.

The two sat there for a long time, and at midnight, Zuo Xiangning drove Ling Xiao away, who was reluctant to leave. Before Ling Xiao left, he said to Zuo Xiangning: "Your eldest brother is getting married at the end of this year." , I will marry you early next year."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled softly. After he left, she gently closed the door.

The next morning, Zuo Xiangning went to the front yard and was helping Zuo Zimo pack things when she saw the housekeeper bringing two pots of peony. Go over and talk to her old man."

Zuo Xiangning frowned, what does this eldest princess want to do?

Don't you want to ask about the jade pendant again?

She has already given the jade pendant to Ling Xiao. What if the eldest princess wants to see it again?

Zuo Xiangning was secretly anxious, thinking that she would have to mention it to Ling Xiao when he came again in the evening.

"What's wrong with you?" Zuo Zimo saw her frowning and worried, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "The eldest princess gave you flowers, why aren't you happy?"

"No." Zuo Xiangning hurriedly gathered her mood and warned with concern: "When you get there, always have two trustworthy people with you. Don't do dangerous things. If you really encounter something embarrassing, you will definitely If you tell me that I can't help you, I will also ask eldest brother and eldest sister for help."

"I know." Zuo Zimo said with a smile: "You have said these words over and over again three or four times. I am not a fool. I will take care of myself. You can take good care of your mother and yourself in the capital." , I don’t have to worry about you.”

Zuo Xiangning took out a thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to him, "You spend these first, and at the end of the year, I will give you another thousand taels."

"What are you doing?" Zuo Zimo's face was slightly red, "I am going to be an official to make money. I should give my sister money, how can I still want my sister?"

"I asked you to keep these one thousand taels just in case. If you can't use it, you can give it back to me when you come back." Zuo Xiangning forced it into his hand and winked at him, " I am a person with private property, and my shop outside may make a lot of money by the end of the year. This one thousand taels is just a drizzle."

"You are really rich," Zuo Zimo took the banknote and said with a smile, "Then lend it to me first, and when I have my salary, I will double it back to you."

"Is the master that big brother is looking for for you here?" Zuo Xiangning asked again.

"We arrived the day before yesterday." Zuo Zimo said in a low voice, "My elder brother is a master who knows astronomy and geography. He knows everything about the past and the present. He is simply omnipotent."

"Eldest brother has chosen thousands of people, how can he be bad?" Zuo Xiangning really admired her eldest brother.

When her eldest brother was about to leave Beijing, he was afraid that no one would take care of him at home, so he left a staff member in the capital. On his way out of Beijing, in order to prevent Zuo Xiangning from worrying about his family, her eldest brother told Zuo Xiangning about this person.

After Zuo Zimo was released, Zuo Xiangning was worried that her third brother would not be able to cope there alone, so she went to the aide and asked him to send a message to her eldest brother.

As soon as she finished speaking, the staff member said that his eldest brother had already made arrangements, saying that if the third young master wanted to go out like the cousin, he would bring a gentleman named Guo with him.

Zuo Xiangning introduced the Mr. Guo to Zuo Zimo.

Zuo Zimo was a simple-minded person. When he saw that his elder brother had arranged for him, he stayed without saying anything and treated Mr. Guo very politely.

Zuo Xiangning checked the luggage and clothes brought by Zuo Zimo, and then said: "Third brother, please remember to write me a letter at least every ten days."

"I know." Zuo Zimo said with a smile: "I still understand the fact that people have short hands."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled softly.

Her third brother is as high-spirited as a young man. He is not as timid, poor and humiliated as in his previous life. How good that he is!
