The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 28 does not mean the future

Ling Xiao wrapped the cotton around her feet and put them back into the quilt.

"Don't touch the water and walk less. You should be fine tomorrow night."

Zuo Xiangning blinked her eyes and said: "Master, there are differences between men and women. You'd better not come to my place again in the future. If anyone finds out, it will be detrimental to your reputation."

Ling Xiao glanced at her and asked, "You barred the window just to prevent me?"

Zuo Xiangning licked her lower lip, feeling a little embarrassed.

She was guarding against him, but she could also feel that he never meant to hurt her.

"You and I are neither relatives nor friends. You are too good to me and I can't bear it." Zuo Xiangning said softly.

Ling Xiao sat on the edge of the bed boldly, straightened out the pleats on his clothes, and said in a somewhat obscure voice: "We are not relatives now, but that doesn't mean we are not relatives or friends in the future."

"Once a day." Ling Xiao put the ointment in her arms, took a small teacup and placed it beside the bed. He poured a cup of tea and put it on the small teacup. "I'm not in the capital these days. If you have anything to do, wait until I come back. Say it again."

Zuo Xiangning was so confused that she didn't dare to ask him what he meant by what he just said.

Ling Xiao didn't say any more.

Zuo Xiangning didn't sleep well that night. The words Ling Xiao said kept ringing in her mind.

He likes her.

This thought made her upset, but it also frightened her.

She had gone through too many things in her previous life, and she was not worthy of him.

She doesn't want to get married either.

The next morning, Zuo Zimo walked in slowly from the outside and found Zuo Xiangning lying on the bed in the inner room. He couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What's wrong with her? Is she sick?"

Pancui pulled a somewhat unhappy face.

Panxia lowered her head and looked at her toes.

"What's wrong?" Zuo Zimo felt anxious. He walked up to Duobaoge and called "Xiang Ning", "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Zuo Xiangning was still angry at first, but when she saw him coming to her so early in the morning, she couldn't bear to make him anxious.

"come in."

Zuo Zimo walked in and saw Zuo Xiangning leaning on the bedside, holding a copy of "Fang Yu Zhi" in her hand and reading.

"Why does your face look so bad?" Zuo Zimo sat on the bedside table, "Have you asked the doctor to take a look?"

"Why didn't Third Brother go out today?" Zuo Xiangning put the book on the quilt, raised her eyes to look at Zuo Zimo, and said with a calm face: "Yesterday, I ran very fast, and I disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"I went to the lake yesterday, drank some wine, and fell asleep when I came back." Zuo Zimo said with a smile, "It was my fault yesterday. I shouldn't have hurt you. What do you want? I'll buy it for you."

"I don't want anything, as long as you..." Zuo Xiangning paused and said, "As long as we can all be safe."

"I know." Zuo Zimo promised: "You were right yesterday. I have decided that from today on, I will forget all about food and sleep, hang on my butt, work hard, and dance after hearing the chicken dance, to fight for a good future for you."

"We are relatives connected by blood. I don't want Third Brother to fight for anything. I just hope that you can live up to the years and live up to yourself." Zuo Xiangning said with red eyes.

The way Zuo Zimo was beaten on the ground by Gu Zhiqing's men in his previous life was deeply etched in her mind. She never thought about letting him become Gu Zhiqing's enemy and fight to the death.

Because she knew that her third brother was honest and honest, and there was no way he could be Gu Zhiqing's opponent.

She just hopes that he can live a healthy life. "I know." Zuo Zimo nodded solemnly.

"What do you talk to your friends about every time?" Zuo Xiangning asked curiously.

Zuo Zimo said with a smile: "Talking about some poetry, calligraphy and painting, as well as anecdotes from the world. They are very knowledgeable. They know heaven and geography. There is nothing they don't know."

"Gu Zhiqing has both civil and military talents. He is a member of the Ministry of War and is a fifth-rank official. Are the others white, or do they have official positions?" Zuo Xiangning asked someone to pour Zuo Zimo a cup of tea.

Zuo Zimo was stunned for a moment and said: "The other two are junior officials in the Ministry of War, and one of them is in the same department as Gu Zhiqing."

"When their colleagues get together, they call you every time. I don't know why?" Zuo Xiangning asked with confusion, "Is it because you have the same goals and have a common language with them?"

The look on Zuo Zimo's face condensed slightly. He thought about it and found that he listened to what they said more every time, but they seemed to think that his opinions were important.

Zuo Xiangning watched and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she was in the wrong again.

"When you go out with them, don't always ask others to invite you. You have to spend some money." Zuo Xiangning didn't seem to notice Zuo Zimo's expression, and took out a banknote from the small drawer next to him. Zuo Zimo, "I'll give you 100 taels first. If it's not enough, you can tell me later."

"I have money." Zuo Zimo pushed the banknote back and probed thoughtfully: "Do you think I should also prepare to take the imperial examination?"

"Third brother, people have been divided into groups since ancient times, and birds of a feather flock together." Zuo Xiangning thought about what she was saying in her mind before saying in a gentle tone: "No matter who it is, if the status of both parties is unequal, it will be difficult to become friends. . Moreover, I never think that Third Brother is stupider than others, you just didn’t put your whole body and mind into it.”

She knew that Zuo Zimo didn't like reading from the bottom of his heart.

She thought for a while and then said: "Third brother, why don't you ask your mother to hire two masters for you, one in civil and one in martial arts? Let's try everything. Whatever we like, we will learn. If we don't like it, let's find another way out. 360 lines, if you are ranked number one in every line, maybe one of the flowers will bloom."

"Can mother agree?" Zuo Zimo's eyes brightened slightly, but then darkened again, "Even if mother can agree, father will not agree."

"I'm going to ask my mother." Zuo Xiangning opened the quilt and called Panxia to get her shoes.

Now she wished she could quickly get Zuo Zimo to calm down and find something he liked to do, and maybe she could distance herself from Gu Zhiqing naturally.

Lest she be always on tenterhooks every day.

Panxia brought in the shoes from the Arhat's bed, squatted beside the bed and advised, "You'd better go tomorrow."

"Why is your foot injured?" Zuo Zimo looked at Zuo Xiangning's wrapped feet and frowned, "Is it twisted or burned?"

"The soles of the girl's feet are worn..."

"Pan Xia!" Zuo Xiangning interrupted Pan Xia's words.

Panxia lowered her head and helped Zuo Xiangning put on her shoes.

Zuo Zimo was confused, thinking that it was inconvenient for Zuo Xiangning to speak, and in his heart, he felt that Zuo Xiangning could not bear too serious injuries in the yard, so he didn't pay much attention.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Zuo Zimo touched his nose and said with a smile, "I'm afraid my mother will scold me for not making progress if she sees me."

"I'll go by myself." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "You go back and wait for my news."

After listening to Zuo Xiangning's words, Mr. Jiang shook his head slightly, "How can a good master be so easy to find? And even if he is found, if your third brother learns well, it's okay. If he doesn't learn well, then the old master My wife and Aunt Liu are fanning the flames in front of your father, and I don’t know how many troubles they will cause. It will only make your third brother’s life in the house even more difficult.”

Both Jiang and Zuo Xiangning knew that Zuo Zimo was the most honest among the children and treated Aunt Liu's children as brothers and sisters, but they did not take him seriously.

Coupled with the favoritism of the old lady and Zuo's father, Zuo Zimo became the most disrespectful master in Zuo's mansion.

In the past, with Zuo Xiangning as his foil, Zuo Zimo could barely rank second to last, but now he can only be ranked first from last.

"Why don't you send your third brother to your uncle's house?" Zuo Xiangning suddenly thought about it and said, "What does mother think?"
