Lu Zhenmiao bent her lips.

If she hadn't seen Zhong Li's portrait in her brother's room, she would never have imagined that her brother, who was usually silent and like an ice cube, actually had a girl he liked. He didn't take the initiative himself, and she, the younger sister, had to work so hard.

Lu Zhenmiao was very happy to be able to help her brother, and she laughed so much that her little tiger teeth were showing.

At dusk, the lanterns were already lit, and there were many more people on the street one after another, handsome men and beautiful women in groups, each with a happy smile on their faces.

The place that Gu Zhiqing and Lu Zhenmiao agreed on was by the Glacier Lake. Every year on the New Year's Day, many people set up wishing lanterns here.

Gu Zhiqing came a quarter of an hour earlier, but Zhong Li naturally didn't come, and Gu Zhiqing couldn't tell whether she was happy or disappointed. Thinking of seeing Lu Yanrui, there was a smile on her lips.

She deliberately dressed up, put on makeup, and wore a luxurious dress. Although she couldn't compare to Zhong Li's prosperous face, she was still pretty and lovely. She just waited for a while when she saw Lu Yanrui taking Lu Zhenmiao away. come over.

The man wore a navy blue collar with a straight collar, gold borders around the hem, and satin boots on his feet. The clothes were not luxurious, but they had a sense of grace and luxury.

His face is cold and his body is tall and straight. He is in his early twenties this year. Among the noble sons in the capital, regardless of his background, appearance, or talents, he is all first-class.

He glanced around, but did not see Zhong Li.

Lu Zhenmiao also pursed her lips in disappointment, "Is Miss Zhong not here?"

Gu Zhiqing smiled and said: "I originally promised to come, but who would have regretted it temporarily, saying that I couldn't rest assured, Cheng'er, I persuaded a few times, but she refused to come, and I couldn't do anything about it, she didn't want to praise her. , let's play by ourselves."

After she finished speaking, just as she was about to salute Lu Yanrui, she heard him speak coldly, "If Miss Zhong really breaks the appointment, there must be a reason for it, you and her are also sisters of your own, and instead of helping her, you are full of complaints and provocations. , when did Miss Zhong offend you?"

His words were merciless, and Gu Zhiqing's cheeks flushed red, and she felt a little panic in her heart, "I-I didn't mean that..."

She instinctively wanted to provoke one or two, but she didn't think much about it at all. Who would have thought that Lu Yanrui would not listen to her explanation at all. After he finished speaking, he directly said to Lu Zhenmiao, "Even if you don't make friends like this, I'll have someone send you back. "

Lu Zhenmiao frowned, "Brother, don't do this."

The next moment, he was dragged away by his brother, and Lu Zhenmiao also felt that Gu Zhiqing's words were ill-considered. She respected her brother very much, and did not dare to resist desperately. Seeing that she couldn't break free, she had to give Gu Zhiqing an apologetic look. .

Looking at the back of the two brothers and sisters leaving, Gu Zhiqing was angry and annoyed. The grievance and humiliation she had never felt hit her heart. She clenched her fists so hard that she snapped one of her fingernails. At this moment, she killed Zhong. Li's heart has it.

Zhong Li didn't know that she was embarrassed. She was sighing a little at the moment, and the night was getting darker. In the morning, in order to coax Pei Xing, she said that she would go to find him at night, but now, with the passage of time, she became more and more Panic, the chest also faint panache.

When she sighed again, she happened to be heard by Cheng'er. He ran over with an eagle and a lantern. This lantern was specially bought by Zhong Li's maid for him.

"Is your sister unhappy?"

With obvious nervousness on his little face, he approached Zhong Li, stroked Zhong Li's eyebrows with the little hand that didn't carry the lantern, and gave her a whimper, trying to blow away her unhappiness.

Zhong Li squeezed his little face and smiled: "Sister is not unhappy, but she just doesn't want to read, just take a break and play with you, there is still a quarter of an hour, it's time to go to bed."

When she heard that it was almost time to go to bed, Cheng'er was instantly distracted, and went back to wandering with the lantern, showing it to Kitten, Xia He, and the little stone by the roadside, she liked it so much Incredible.

Zhong Li didn't dare to sigh any more, she dawdled until Hai Shi before taking Xia He to Youfeng Hall.

The sky was dark as ink, and before knew it, the fog rose again.

When the two were about to walk to Youfengtang, there were actually snowflakes in the sky. Because it was sleet, when it fell on their faces, it was very cold. Xia He regretted not bringing an umbrella, and it was too late to go back now. The two had to quicken their pace.

When she ran down the corridor, Zhong Li's hair was a little wet, Xia He flicked the snow on her hair, and shook her cloak, "I'm fine, clean up yourself."

Both of them were a little cold, and Zhong Li regretted not bringing the stove.

Chapter 19 Displeased

At this time, the guard guarding the door of the study came over and said in a low voice, "Miss Zhong, the master hasn't returned yet, please come in and wait for a while."

Zhong Li was a little surprised. It was already this time, and he still hadn't come back. Zhong Li didn't know that, he often returned late, and sometimes even stayed outside.

When Pei Xing returned, it was already Zi Shi, and when he saw Zhong Li, he recalled her soft voice before she left, "Will I come back tomorrow night?"

At this moment, the girl was lying on the book table outside, supporting her small face with one hand, her eyelids were trembling with sleepiness. When she saw him, she bent her lips and stood up, "Third uncle, you are back."

Zhong Li couldn't stand still, her head was dizzy, and she almost fell. The next moment, the man's strong arms wrapped around her waist, and he carried the coolness, which stimulated Zhong Li to shiver.

"Thank you third uncle." Zhong Li tried to stand firm, but fell back into his arms, and when the tip of her nose hit his chest, the tip of Zhong Li's eyes and nose were a little sore.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, and her wet eyes had a hint of water vapor, and her state was a little wrong. Pei Xing frowned, and when he touched her forehead, he found that it was really hot. At this moment, he rose again, throwing people away The urge to go out.

When she opened her mouth, it changed to "Go and call the imperial doctor". Zhong Li looked at him blankly. When Qin Xing responded, she realized that he was going to ask the imperial doctor for her. She raised her head and said in a hurry. : "Uncle Third, I'm fine."

Xu was drenched in the rain, and it was cold in his room, so she got a little warm.

She hurriedly said: "I'm really fine. I used to get overheated when I was freezing. Drink a bowl of ginger soup and sweat it. Really, don't call the doctor, okay?"
