Chapter 49
Zuo Xiangning didn't expect that Jiang had such a plan.

"Your third cousin is not the eldest son, so he doesn't have to bear the heavy responsibility of supporting the Jiang family. In the future, you can still live in the capital and don't have to serve your parents-in-law. Moreover, with your sister and me here, no one will dare to look down on you." Jiang took Zuo's hand. Xiang Ning held her hand and said lovingly: "There is no rush in this matter. I just want you to have an idea first. If you agree, it will be easier for your aunt and grandmother to talk to you."

Zuo Xiangning returned to the room and sat alone on the Luohan bed. Then she thought belatedly that her cousin was always staring at her today and was being so kind to her. Could it be that he already knew Jiang's thoughts? ?
Zuo Xiangning's face suddenly became hot.

"How can we meet people tomorrow?" Zuo Xiangning muttered as she changed her clothes, buttoned them up, and turned around to see a familiar figure appearing next to Duobaoge.

Zuo Xiangning looked down at her clothes and said with a blush, "When did you come in? What did you see?"

"I just came in." Ling Xiao stared at Zuo Xiangning with dark eyes, "What did you just do? Are you afraid that others will see you?"

"Can you please make some noise next time? It's scary, scary to death." Zuo Xiangning rolled her eyes at him, pursed her lips, picked up the jacket next to her and put it on.

"I heard what you were mumbling over there. I'll call you after you finish speaking." Ling Xiao asked curiously: "Why did I hear you say you can't see people anymore? What happened?"

Zuo Xiangning's face turned even redder.

When she just said this, she seemed to be wearing a bellyband, right?
She took out a bundle from under the cabinet next to her and gave it to him, "Are you busy recently?"

"I went to Shanxi." Ling Xiao put the bundle on the Arhat bed and opened it impatiently. Seeing the smooth and delicate clothes folded inside, he slowly picked it up and asked, "Did you make it yourself?"

"Otherwise?" Zuo Xiangning walked to him, raised her head and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful. This is the most exquisitely crafted piece of clothing I've ever seen." Ling Xiao asked distressedly, "Are you exhausted?"

"The main reason is that I can't do it during the day, so I have to do it at night, which makes my eyes tired." Although Zuo Xiangning knew that what he said was not necessarily the truth, she was still full of joy.

She picked up another one and said: "I also made you a sky blue one, embroidered with royal blue patterns. If you don't like it, I will give it to my third brother instead."

"I like everything you do." Ling Xiao put the clothes on carefully, fastened the white jade buttons, and asked, "How is it?"

"It looks good." Zuo Xiangning stood in front of him, flattened the collar for him, and looked around him. "It's just right to wear it now. It will be cold after a while, and the color will be a bit too light."

"I'll keep it for August [-]th." Ling Xiao asked, "What are you going to do on August [-]th?"

"Eat mooncakes and admire the moon." Zuo Xiangning thought for a while and said, "My third brother is back, and I might go out with him to put out river lanterns."

"I will come to you on the night of August [-]th and take you to light the Kongming lanterns." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning looked up at him, "I can't go out at night."

Ling Xiao smiled and whispered, "I'll take you over the walls."

Suddenly there were two cat meows outside.

Ling Xiao frowned and took off his clothes.

Zuo Xiangning guessed that the cat meowing was calling him, so she quickly took the clothes, folded them and put them back in her bag.

"I have something to do tonight. I'll come find you on the night of August [-]th." Ling Xiao suddenly stretched out his arm and hugged her unexpectedly, then let go before she could struggle, and left.

Zuo Xiangning sighed softly, extinguished the candle and lay back on the bed.

After she gave him these two pieces of clothing, she planned to tell him that they would stop there and stop interacting with each other.

But just now she remembered it, but she didn't say it.

She didn't know if she didn't have a chance, or if she didn't want to say it at all.

She herself was a little confused about her own thoughts.

Two days later, it was August [-]th. Zuo Xiangning felt uneasy all day, as if she had stolen someone else's things, and she felt panicked.

In the afternoon, Zuo Xiangning asked Pan Cui to do a small peony bun for herself.

In the evening, Zuo Xiangning put on a pink gauze skirt and tied two butterfly hairpins inlaid with emerald beads on her bun.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Zuo Xiangning, who had been waiting for nearly a day, felt a little depressed.

She felt that she was a fool, doing nothing all day long, just waiting for him to come, while he would only come when he had time to finish his own business.Which is more important is obvious.

Zuo Xiangning took off the butterfly hairpin from her head and was about to change her clothes when there was movement at the door.

She looked over and saw Ling Xiao walking in from outside wearing black clothes.

"Why are you here?" Zuo Xiangning asked awkwardly.

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't I agree to take you out?"

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and picked at the pattern on the corner of the table with her fingers.

"I went to Rehe, and something was delayed. I came back a little late." Ling Xiao's mind changed, and he continued in a hoarse voice: "I ran non-stop for five hours, and I didn't get a drop of water on my face. I took a shower, changed my clothes, and rushed to see you in a hurry. Don’t tell me that you forgot our agreement?”

"It's not an important agreement, so don't come over if you don't have time." Only then did Zuo Xiangning notice that his hair seemed to have just been washed and not yet dried.

"I will definitely do what I promise you." Ling Xiao looked at her clothes and hair accessories and smiled: "It's a bit cold outside, so you need to add a cloak. Also, do you have a veil?"

Zuo Xiangning stopped showing her temper.

She put the pair of butterfly hairpins back into her hair, took out a white plum cloak with green calyx plum blossoms on a white background, and a crescent-shaped veil embroidered with white plum blossoms from the closet.

Ling Xiao reached for the cloak and helped her put it on her shoulders.

Zuo Xiangning was stunned for a moment, grabbed the cloak strap from his hand, and tied a bow under her neck.

Ling Xiao took out a ginger-colored purse from his arms and gave it to her, "This is for you."

Zuo Xiangning took it in her hand suspiciously. It was a heavy bag of rice-sized pearls.

"Just think of it as thank you for helping me." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"I helped you make clothes. It was just a favor to you. You don't need to thank me." Zuo Xiangning tightened her purse tightly, wanting to return the favor to him.

"That's my compensation for being late, right?" As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, there was a "gurgling" sound coming from his stomach.

Ling Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I only had a mouthful of porridge in the morning this day."

"Then you won't come back after eating something?" Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Aren't I afraid that you will be impatient?" Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Let's go, the street is busy now."

Zuo Xiangning tied her veil and followed him out of the room.

"Are we flying out?" Zuo Xiangning asked in a low voice.

"Fly later." Ling Xiao smiled and took her wrist and walked directly to the courtyard gate.

Zuo Xiangning saw two people standing by the door. They opened the courtyard door gently and closed it again.

Continue walking along the Yong Road, passing through the Daojia Gate, and stop by the courtyard wall.

"Don't be afraid." Ling Xiao whispered two words in her ear, then put his arms around her waist, tapped his feet on the ground, and flew up to the three-meter-high courtyard wall with her in his arms.

The moment he flew up, Zuo Xiangning closed her eyes in fear, threw herself into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly.

She didn't dare to open her eyes until her feet landed on the ground.

She looked back at the courtyard wall, then at Ling Xiao, and couldn't help but say in admiration: "My God, you are so awesome."

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing when he saw her innocent and cute silly expression.

"Why are you so stupid?" Ling Xiao rubbed her little face with both hands.

Zuo Xiangning was startled by his actions. She looked up at the handsome face of the man who was gradually approaching, and her nervous heart seemed to be in her throat...
