Just when Jing Zhuozhuo thought she would fall into the lake and become a drowned chicken, she suddenly felt her waist tighten as her body seemed to smash into a firm chest. The breath was filled with a strange, slightly mentholated smell of a man.

In the blink of an eye, Jing Zhuozhuo felt that she had safely returned to the ground. At the same time, she pushed away the person at her side and took a few cautious steps back.

"Heh, the way the young miss treats her benefactor is quite special."

This voice?

Jing Zhuozhuo raised her head. A few steps away from her stood a man wearing a blue silk gown with a simple white jade crown on his head. Purple lumps hung down his back, fusing with his black hair.

This person was Soong Zichen.

He only stood there lazily, looking at Jing Zhuozhuo. At the same time, it was as if she wasn't there at all.

Behind him was a resplendent lotus flower, which made his expression more and more cold. It was as if he was a lotus flower within the dense green mist on the surface of the water.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if he didn't have a teasing smile on his lips.

Jing Zhuozhuo's only thought towards Soong Zichen's sudden appearance was to be confused.

Soong Zichen had clearly not come to Buddha Temple, yet he appeared just when he was in danger.

If it was a coincidence, no one would believe it.

Without revealing any emotion, Soong Zichen saw Jing Zhuozhuo's reaction, a hint of ridicule flashed across his eyes, but the smile on his face increased a bit: "Since First Miss doesn't have the time to deal with others, then I will leave first."

Then, without giving anyone a chance to speak, Soong Zichen turned around and left.

When the three servants were once again left in the pavilion, Banana hurriedly walked up with a look of worry and guilt, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss. It was all Banana's fault. You can hit me and scold me, but I won't complain. "

As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed in terror.

Jing Zhuozhuo came back to her senses and gathered her thoughts. "Just get up. You didn't mean to do it on purpose. Just be careful next time."

After this commotion, Jing Zhuozhuo naturally lost the interest to admire the lotus flowers, and the three of them silently walked back.

From the distance, there seemed to be a hubbub of noise. Because there was only one way back, Jing Zhuozhuo and the others inevitably encountered a noisy crowd.

There were about three teenager dressed in fine clothes, each of them was very elegant and dashing. Behind them were a few pretty girls. From the looks of it, they seemed to be the children of the capital city lords who were touring the garden with their women.

The two groups of people gradually approached each other. Originally, the road was large enough for four people to walk side by side, but because the other side was crowded together, the road seemed narrow. Even if Jing Zhuozhuo and her group gave way, it wouldn't be easy.

Even so, as they got closer, the people in front of them did not seem to want to split up. In this situation, Jing Zhuozhuo and the others had no way to get through.

"Miss, please wait. This servant will speak first."

Jing Zhuozhuo nodded in agreement. She then walked up to the three young masters and blessed them, saying, "My lords, may I ask you to split up a little?" This road is too narrow, it's hard to walk with a few people crowded. My family's young miss is waiting to go back to her room. "

"Your young lady? Who is your young mistress? She won't wait for us to pass before she leaves? "

Hearing the foppish young master's arrogant tone, Banna resisted the urge to roll her eyes and continued to say amiably, "That's fine too, but we'll have to ask these young masters to split up with the girls behind us. You see, this road was originally only big enough for four people to walk side by side. With all of you huddled together, the entire road was blocked. "

The young miss of her house was waiting for them to leave. Who knew that the foppish young master who had just spoken out seemed to not appreciate their kind words? He even glared at her angrily.

"This grandpa is going to leave like this. If your young miss wants it, then come!"

"That's right, this grandpa doesn't mind your young lady pushing her way through us."

"Tsk tsk, I wonder which young lady it is. Her birth is so good to look at."

Hearing the unpleasant words of the three young masters in front of her, Banana angrily glared at them with her hands on her hips, as if she wanted to fight with someone.

"banana."

Jing Zhuozhuo's voice could be heard from behind her. She glared at the person in front of her and retreated back unwillingly.

Jing Zhuozhuo walked up and greeted them indifferently. After that, she raised her head and looked at the three youths in front of her who had widened their eyes from their shock. With a smile, she asked, "May I ask the young masters to step aside? This little girl's body is not feeling well, and I wish to return to my room earlier to rest. "

The woman in front of them was dressed in embroidered clothes. She had a slender waist and seemed weak like a willow; her charm was elegant like a green bamboo. She had a wicked-looking face that made the three young men stare at her as she moved to make way for her.

Jing Zhuozhuo thanked the three of them with a bow and left under their glazed gazes. Banana unhappily stared at the three of them as if she was an embryo, before she lifted up her skirt and followed them. Tu Mi walked quietly at the back. Soon, the three of them disappeared from the path.

"Ah, I forgot to ask which lady it is. She truly is as beautiful as a fairy. If I were to marry such a woman in my life, I'm afraid that I would even secretly laugh in my dreams. "

"What a pity, just a moment ago, he was completely focused on stunning her. "Now, I don't even know her name, and I don't even know when the next time we meet will be."

"Would the young masters be interested in this young miss?"

Hearing the strange voice behind them, the three young masters turned their heads.

In the quiet and quiet courtyard, Jing Zhuozhuo let the banana bring pen, ink and paper to throw on the stone table when she had nothing else to do. After fixing the pure white paper with paperweight, Jing Zhuozhuo rolled up the sleeve of her right hand slightly. She gracefully took the brush, bent over, and began to draw.

Tu Mi stood on one side, grinding ink, while Banana stood on the other side. She looked at Jing Zhuozhuo curiously. "Miss, you can draw?"

It wasn't that Banana looked down on her young mistress, but three months ago, she had been living in the countryside. From what she had heard, she knew that there was no time for her to learn calligraphy and painting. Ever since she had returned to Jing Family at the age of fourteen, Concubine Hui and the Old Master had never thought of finding anyone to teach her.

But now, Jing Zhuozhuo's brush seemed to be filled with spirit, drawing a rough outline with just a few strokes. In the blink of an eye, a fake lotus flower suddenly appeared on the paper. What was even more surprising was that the lotus flower was actually a double flower. After them were the dark green lotus leaves, the clear lake water, and the free swimming carp under the surface of the water.

In less than an hour, a lifelike painting of a fish tail and lotus in summer appeared in front of everyone.

"Good, Miss's drawing is too good."

At the side, Banana was clapping excitedly. Jing Zhuozhuo pursed her lips and smiled, then once again she raised her brush and wrote on the right side of the painting: Zhuozhuo, Lotus, Emerges from the Water. One stalk was isolated and led to green. Double Shadow shared a bonus.

After finishing, Jing Zhuozhuo put down the brush in satisfaction and started to study it carefully.

"Banana, put this calligraphy and painting aside to dry."

"Yes, miss."

"Yes." Banana took the calligraphy and painting carefully and walked to the sun not far away, spreading the painting on top of the clean stone.

Jing Zhuozhuo changed to a thinner brush and began writing on a piece of paper. Her writing movements were very fluid. Without the slightest pause, she quickly finished one and changed to the next. However, halfway through the second page, a clamor came from outside the courtyard.

Jing Zhuozhuo raised her head and squinted her eyes. When Jing Qing'er and the rest entered the yard, the person writing on the table had already changed to Tu Mi.

"Big sister, you are hiding in the courtyard."

Jing Qing'er was wearing an emerald green dress with layers and layers of light muslin covering her body. Long loops of cloth wrapped around her waist. As she walked, they would collide with each other and emit crisp tinkling sounds. Behind her was her personal servant girl, Red Shirt and Green Bamboo.

As Jing Qing'er spoke, she had already walked to the small table. Glancing at the half-finished Xuan paper and Tu Mi who was putting down her brush at an unhurried pace, a glint flashed across her pitch-black eyes. After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and once again looked at Jing Zhuozhuo with a smile.

"This is the first time Big Sis has come to the Buddha Temple. Why don't Little Sis take Big Sis around?"

There was no need to be courteous. It was either adultery or theft.

Jing Zhuozhuo's heart froze, but a surprised smile appeared on her face. With eyes as bright as the stars, she said, "Since that's the case, then that's great." I heard that the glory of your Buddha Temple are infinitely good, big sister is thinking of looking around. "

"Then let's go. It will be dusk soon. When Daddy comes, we won't be free. "

Jing Qing'er held Jing Zhuozhuo's arm as she walked out. When she passed by Hong Shan, her right hand, hidden in her sleeve, quickly touched her arm. After receiving Jing Qing'er's hint, the red shirt purposely walked extremely slowly. Then, while no one was looking, he quickly pulled out the xuan paper from the table and folded it a few times before stuffing it into his wide sleeves.

Under Jing Qing'er's lead, Jing Zhuozhuo strolled through Buddha Temple's second scenery besides the five kilometer lotus flower, the five kilometer bamboo forest.

It was the height of summer, the time when bamboo was verdant and verdant. The endless bamboo forest stretching out before him gave him a magnificent feeling.

The few of them leisurely strolled around the corner and coincidentally met the three dashing young masters once again.

Glimmers danced in Jing Zhuozhuo's eyes. She didn't need to guess whose hand it was that had created such a coincidental 'encounter'. However, she maintained her smile without revealing any emotions as she watched the three jade-robed youths approach.

"What a coincidence, we actually met again here with the young lady."

One of the princes walked up to Jing Zhuozhuo and bowed with his hands cupped in front of his chest. As he got up, he didn't forget to give Jing Zhuozhuo a smile that he thought was gentle and elegant.

"Big Sis and Young Noble Huang know each other?"

Seeing that Jing Zhuozhuo was about to leave with an indifferent expression, Jing Qing'er suddenly opened her mouth and spoke affectionately. From her way of addressing him, it was obvious that she knew this young man before her. Jing Zhuozhuo smiled lightly and said unhurriedly, "Just now, on the way back from the Ten Li Lotus Flower, I met three Young Masters."

"Since that's the case, why don't we go on a tour together?" These three Young Masters are all disciples of several families that have dealings with Jing Family, so it would be good for them to walk around. "

Seeing Jing Qing'er's impatience, Jing Zhuozhuo did not object. Instead, she took advantage of the moment when Jing Qing'er was not paying attention to her, turning back and giving Tu Mi a look. After that, Jing Zhuozhuo accompanied Jing Qing'er on her tour as if nothing had happened, and the three Young Masters introduced themselves one after another.

It turned out to be the young master of the capital's new rich Huang Family, Huang Yanji, the young master of the Bai Family, Bai Jingyun, and the young master of the Wang Family, Wang Xie.

In the capital, other than the three great families that had a roots that were deep enough to last several hundred years, the ones with the most power were the new noble Huang Family, Bai Family and Wang Family. Huang Yanji was the third son of Huang Family, Bai Jingyun was ranked fourth in his family, and Wang Xie was ranked seventh in the Wang family.

The three of them were about the same age and were usually young masters who ate, drank, and had fun. Therefore, they often walked together. This time, Buddha Temple was just for fun, but he didn't expect to meet Jing Zhuozhuo who looked like a celestial goddess.

Along the way, the three of them did their best to flatter and flatter each other. Each of them was extremely attentive, only thinking to show Jing Zhuozhuo that they had a good impression of each other. Jing Qing'er, who was standing at the side, also chimed in from time to time.

No one noticed that Tu Mi was no longer around. Jing Zhuozhuo, on the other hand, cleverly noticed that the red dress beside Jing Qing'er had disappeared without a trace.

From the looks of it, she seemed to have guessed everything correctly.

Heh, interesting.
