Chapter 45 Jewelry
And Zhao Mingzhi naturally knew nothing about the many discussions of the bodyguards.

She followed Li Xun to rest less at night and travel more during the day, and it took only three days to arrive in Junzhou. She was stuck counting the time and finally made it to the city at nightfall.

It was getting dark, and it was no longer easy to ride horses in the city. However, Li Xun was different from usual. He was not in a hurry to find the Escort Bureau to rest, but to find a restaurant first, and ordered a few dishes.

Zhao Mingzhi was tired on the way, so he went to the cubicle to wash his hands and face, and when he came out again, he saw Li Xun standing by the window.

The rain and snow did not stop all the way. At this moment, the window was wide open, and the fine snow and the cold wind were blowing in. Zhao Mingzhi stood two feet away, but was still shivering from the cold, while Li Xun was standing by the window, unaware of it. His face was serious, with a somewhat desolate look.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head, glanced at Zhao Mingzhi, turned around and closed the wooden window, and then sat down.

Before the meal was served, the two sat opposite each other.

Zhao Mingzhi hesitated for a long time, and seeing his behavior just now, he finally said: "Second brother, I have a presumptuous sentence in my heart for a long time, because I was afraid it would be wrong, I never dared to ask it."

Li Xun said, "You ask."

"I don't know if there is any troublesome matter in Junzhou City, which makes it difficult for the second brother?"

Facing Li Xun's surprised gaze, Zhao Mingzhi said in a low voice: "Earlier, the second elder brother said that this time he came to Junzhou City for some important business, so he also explained to me that he needs to stay in the city overnight."

"However, since arriving, the second brother has been in a low mood. He was so anxious when he was on the road. Now that he has reached the end of the road, he would rather eat outside than enter the house. What is the reason?"

She raised her head to look directly at Li Xun, and said slowly: "Although we have known each other for a short time, I called this 'Second Brother' from my heart, but I have long since stopped treating myself as an outsider, so I am not afraid to ask questions now. ——If it’s nothing important, can you talk to me? Although I don’t have much talent, after all, a bystander will know, and maybe I can hear a sentence or two, and even if I can’t find any way, it won’t hurt anything.”

Seeing her solemn appearance, Li Xun had a strange look on his face. After a while, he laughed and said, "Did Cheng Yan say something to you?"

Zhao Mingzhi was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to cover up, but felt it was useless, so he simply said honestly: "Brother Cheng Yan told me to take good care of my second brother, don't..."

She didn't think there was anything at first, but when she repeated the words now, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong, and she quickly stopped talking, feeling embarrassed for a while.

Li Xun couldn't help laughing again, but he didn't bother with her anymore, he just said: "Actually, it's nothing, but I was going to visit an elder tonight, because I have a lot of entanglements, and because of her family's favor, there are some things that I can't refuse. But I can't agree, so I'm a little timid."

The word "emotional timidity" was actually used in the end.

If you are timid when you come to the door, and you can't refuse and you can't agree, what will it be?
But since Second Brother Li said nothing happened, it must not be a big deal, just some troubles.

Zhao Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely again: "Although I don't know what it is, I don't know if there is anything I can help with?"

He also said: "Second brother has something to do, he can go and do it, don't bother with me - since I was a child, I have been out a lot by myself, now it's not like I used to be in the wilderness, I can't think about it, Junzhou is a state city, I Finding an inn to live in is very convenient, just wait for the second brother to come and find it when he is free."

She spoke so sweetly that Li Xun on the other side couldn't help smiling, and finally said: "Although it may not be useful, just staying with you is more helpful than living outside."

He said again: "You go with me, you don't need to do anything else, just urge me to go back to Jingzhao Mansion in front of outsiders."

How easy is it?
Zhao Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed.

After the meal was arranged, the two of them went out again after eating. After a cup of tea along the street, Li Xun found a shop, stopped at the door, and asked Zhao Mingzhi to go in together.

Even though it was night at this time, there were still one or two customers in the shop. Judging by their attire, they looked like they were in charge.

Zhao Mingzhi glanced at the display in the shop - but it turned out to be a gold and silver shop.

Seeing that there were customers in the store, the second child hurried up to welcome them.

He saw Li Xun first, then Zhao Mingzhi, and felt that although the two guests were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were very imposing, and he dared not neglect them. He said hello, "Why don't you sit inside? What do you want to see?"

Li Xun asked, "Do you have a complete set of hairpin and maid jewelry?"

The waiter hastily said: "This shop is dedicated to this, and all the goldsmiths hired are from Sichuan, with superb craftsmanship, full of gold and silver, the guests came at the right time, and a batch of goods just arrived - wait for me to get them out... He had sharp eyesight, and immediately turned to Zhao Mingzhi, "Choose for this girl?"

Li Xun shook his head: "No need, just pick up the most expensive one and get two sets."

Xiao Er was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The guest officer may not know that the jewelry in our store has its own characteristics. I don't know if it is for the girl's home, or for the wife, or for the old lady? I am afraid that the choice is not good. Although it costs a lot of money, instead of being blamed.”

He smiled at Zhao Mingzhi again: "Girl, tell me, is this the truth?"

Zhao Mingzhi was taken aback, turned to look at Li Xun, saw the other party shaking his head with her, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but this time it's just a gift, the most expensive ones are just two sets."

Xiao Er had no choice but to go back.

Zhao Mingzhi had nothing to do, so he looked up at the display in the shop. After a while, he heard Li Xun suddenly say: "Do you like it? Since you have time, why don't you just pick one or two?"

She shook her head and said with a smile: "Just take a look - I'm on the road day and night right now, I don't have the time to insert hairpins, and it's inconvenient. I just use a rope."

Li Xun said: "Forget it, just buy it when you arrive at Jingzhao Mansion."

He was silent for a moment, he didn't know why, and suddenly said: "Actually, there is no need to rush to visit relatives, I have some properties under my name, in the future, it is better to live in the city first, and find out the situation before we talk about it."

He also said: "Since Gaoling's family has not been seen for many years, and there are few letters, it is best not to believe it, it is better to take it slowly - then I will go and inquire carefully first, so don't be in a hurry."

It took Zhao Mingzhi a few breaths to realize that what the other party was talking about was the uncle he had fabricated to be Gaoling's master book.

Although there are indeed people, how can they have anything to do with me?How can I stand up to inquiring?

She was startled, but she could only force a smile and said, "I'll reflect on myself, I'll talk about it later, Second Brother doesn't have to worry."

Li Xun frowned at her, and then nodded after a while.

At that moment, the little girl brought jewelry for the head and face, and opened it for the two of them to see, and it was really glittering and shining, including hairpins, hairpins, grates, combs, walkers, etc. There were a total of 36 pieces in a set, and there were more than ten pieces in total. Jin, even the box is carefully crafted.

Li Xun only glanced at it, then asked the silver to pay the bill, and finally reported the name of a house, saying: "Send it to the door here, wait for me outside for a while."

　The second watch last night was a broken dream, oh! ! ! ! !
