Chapter 19: Lee's Dove
Today is the day when Jinghou and Liu Huan and his party left Yingdu, and their mother took Li Ying to say goodbye to them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Ying didn't have much reluctance to part, but there was a little more cheering, and her face was silent, but today's pace was a little fast, and she couldn't hide her mother's eyes.
The mother also wondered in her heart, this child, really.
When they came to the small flower hall of Jinghou Meiyuan, the two sisters talked to themselves, and their mother left Li Ying into the back room. Li Ying was a little sulky, why did her mother see the scene like a magnet meeting iron, and she couldn't tear it off if she was glued. On the other hand, seeing that Liu Huan is a mouse meets a cat, he can't hide, although he can't hide from it, although it is a suspicion of ice release.
Of course, Liu Huan knew about Li Ying's arrival, and he pricked up his ears and "played" in the small flower hall all morning, can he not know? He suddenly started to play, and his previous actions made Li Ying stunned, and he knew it.
Liu Huan stood quietly behind Li Ying, as usual, Li Ying's sensitive temperament had already noticed, but today she was just thinking about it.
After a while, seeing that Li Ying didn't move, Liu Huan touched her cool fingertips with his warm and wet little hands.
"Ah......h Liu Huan saw it today, and felt that his eardrums were about to burst, and he rubbed his little ears with his little hands expressionlessly, with a smile between his eyebrows.
The palace maids who took care of Liu Huan watched their noses and noses, and did their own work without distractions. On the other hand, Mama Tian beside Li Ying, Cuixiang and his party were anxious, but they were concerned. The needle Yu on the side wanted to rush up even more, but the cuffs were tightly pulled by Mama Tian, Cuixiang's expression was slightly normal, and Rue Xiang didn't even frown.
Li Ying was really scared, she had been bitten by a big wolf dog before. At that time, she was still young, and the big white wolf dogs were all on her shoulders, and the thick meat pads walked silently, and they just bit them. At that time, with a "snap", it broke, fortunately it was her fingernails. A little further aside, it's her fingers.
Li Ying was sitting on the ground at this time, the cool blue-gray Han bricks were at Liu Huan's feet, and this time it was Liu Huan who "looked down" at Li Ying.
"Why are you so old and intimidated!" Liu Huan stretched out his green jade hand, looking at this situation, he just wanted to pull Li Ying. Li Ying only had two words in his mind, "raise your noble hand" and "stay away". Li Ying's "respect and stay away" is reserved for ghosts and gods.
"Hurry up, it's cold on the ground. Liu Hao urged. It's not that her hands are sore, it's that I'm afraid that she will get cold if she sits for a long time. Li Ying came back to his senses and quickly complied with the uncle's wishes. No matter what, he is going to leave today, and it will not work to send this god away first, and it will not work to settle accounts after the autumn.
Li Yingsuo got up from the ground and patted the non-existent dust, and was surprised that Liu Huan actually took a hand and helped to shoot it. Li Ying was a little uncomfortable, and the people she served close to her knew that her sister didn't like others to touch her. Even when Mama Tian helps her tie her hair every day, she is careful, and she is careful.
"Are you here to see me off today?" Liu Huan asked rhetorically, walking to the low couch by himself, seeing that Li Ying did not follow, "What are you doing with the pestle?"
Bunny, Bunny, Bunny...... Li Ying's heart was broken, he couldn't bear it, and he had to endure it again. Forbearance, with a knife hanging over his heart. Blade heart, you can't be willful!
Li Ying hurriedly cleaned up her mood and sat on the other side of Liu Huan. There was no need to say hello, the maid beside Liu Huan brought tea. At first glance, it is a cooked rose tea, warm, just in the right place.
The two didn't speak for a while, and Li Ying was also a little uncomfortable because of the rose tea. How did he know he liked to drink yesterday. I can't help but think of yesterday, after several days of pottery work, she was tired and panicked, and drank this tea after her mother went out to rest, and praised it. Hey, my mother's intentions should be so obvious! I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of teammates who are dragging their feet!
This time, Li Ying also really misunderstood, the tea was ordered by Queen Jing in advance.
"Cuixiang, bring the things. Li Ying took several sips of tea soup and suppressed the awkwardness in his heart a little.
Take a look at Liu Huan again, he is sitting on the side, obviously a fleshy baby, and this kind of man's behavior is also a contrast. Li Yingle was happy.
Cuixiang respectfully picked up the things, Liu Huan glanced at her casually, Cuixiang felt a sense of anger and hurriedly retreated.
"What is this?" Liu Huan opened his mouth and asked casually. Copper dove carts, there are some in the palace, I don't know how many they have smashed, not a thousand, but also eight hundred.
Li Ying smiled and squinted, and said happily: "Heha, this is what I specially found, do you like it, play and see, you can tie a long rope behind you and let them pull and run, it's interesting." Not only did he speak, but he also danced with his hands. "I'm pulling and running, the car is spinning so fast, and I'm tired ......", after her chatterbox was opened, she was gushing.
Liu Huan smiled and was happy. He likes to see Li Ying's eyebrows dancing happily, and he also wants to see Li Ying's appearance more, happy and sad, laughing and scolding. The thought that he was about to go back faded his smile.
Li Ying is usually not like this, she is going to be a storyteller today. The rhythm of storytelling can't be stopped at all. If the two are not familiar with each other, the atmosphere will be very awkward if they stop, so she desperately finds a topic. Li Ying felt embarrassed, but Liu Yan didn't.
It's been half an hour, Li Ying is finally tired and paralyzed, and he feels that he doesn't have as many words in his life as he does today, and he will suffer with him.
Liu Huan tired Li Ying, so he picked up the copper dove cart, turned it over and over, played with it casually, and said, "You have been talking for so long, you should be tired of co-authoring." Take a break and I'll tell you a story. Li Ying's eyes widened, he knew that this was the case, and it was not appropriate for the storyteller! But a three- or four-year-old child who could not speak clearly wanted to tell a story?
Liu Huan ignored Li Ying's distrust, only glanced at her suspicious little eyes, and said to himself: Li has a dove, can speak for people, too parrot, very wise, raised for several years, and flies between the curtains of the corridor and does not go far......
Li Ying listened to it on the side, stunned, this is the story of the Li family's dove.
The general meaning is this, Li has a turtledove, can speak human words, better than parrots, is very intelligent, and has been raised for many years. The turtle dove flies in front of and behind the house during the day, never flying far, and roosts in its cage at night to avoid the tanuki and mice. When a turtledove sees a servant taking something or picking flowers without permission, he will tell his master. The merchants of the Jin Kingdom were doing business in the Wu Kingdom, and when they saw this turtledove, they were willing to exchange it for ten taels of silver. Sensing his intentions, the turtledove told its owner, "I have been here for a long time, and I cannot bear to leave." You must sell me somewhere else, and I will go on a hunger strike without eating. The owner coaxed him and said, "My friend wants to see you, so I'll take you home as soon as I show him." When he arrived at the merchant's house, the master abandoned the turtledove and departed. So the turtledove did not eat all day, and cried out to go home. The merchant took pity on its will, but feared that it would die and receive no compensation. So he spent two taels of silver out of ten taels of silver to return the dove to the Li family, and the turtledove ate only then. (Note: "Li's Dove", also known as ""Dove" to Li's), is written by Chen Zilong, a righteous man in the late Ming Dynasty, and selected from "The Complete Works of Chen Zhongyu Gong".) )
After finishing speaking, Liu Huan drank several sips of honey water to moisten his throat, and the dryness disappeared. Li Ying hadn't come out of the story at this time, she was thinking about Liu Huan's intentions. In Li Ying's consciousness, Liu Huan is a demon, a ghost, and unfathomable. Every move he makes has a deep meaning. In other words, this kind of person is not easy to mess with. To deal with him is to seek skin with a tiger. But he spent so much time telling himself a story today, which is unreasonable! He is a person who cherishes words like gold, and he pinched his fingers and counted, how much gold did he get! Li Ying was terrified.
Liu Huan carefully observed Li Ying's demeanor, Li Ying occasionally involuntarily gnawed his fingernails when he was thinking, and he was a little annoyed when he found out, and then put it down. When I think about something, I have no distractions, my eyes roll from time to time, and my face is startled, I don't know what I'm thinking inside. He and Li Ying, at first he was angry, but since he bit her, he has never forgotten her stunned eyes and the faint fragrance on her body, which is very special. The aroma made him feel comfortable and reassured.
Li Ying was wearing a sachet at the time, which was given to her by her mother on the same day. That incense is an introduction, a medicine introduction.
"Master, merchant, turtledove, what do you think?" Liu Huan asked, counting, what he said to Li Ying was a finger count, add some chips today.
Divinity is human nature, and the turtledove in the story should symbolize a certain type of person. "The turtledove is a good turtledove, and the merchant is also discerning, and it is the master, and he is not a thing. Li Ying's words were filled with anger, "For that little money, as for it!"
Liu Huan looked at her gritted teeth, she was very cute, why did the people in the palace only disgust him like this?
"The merchant's compassion is too great for him to do great things. Liu Huan said indifferently, if it was him, the turtledove would not die, and would stay by his side wholeheartedly. He clenched the teacup slightly in his hand, as if it were a turtledove.
Li Ying didn't have much to do with it, Liu Huan was a stranger.
I just don't know who will be the turtledove, who will be the master, and who will be the merchant? God knows!
The next topic is also small talk, chatter, and trivial things about Chen sesame and rotten grain.
During this period, Liu Huan said that he wanted to see her wounds, and Li Ying was happy to show him to deepen his guilt. Liu Huan was close to her, carefully examining the scar, it was quite deep, and nodded with satisfaction, the fragrance on her body was still so attractive.
Today, Li Ying is not wearing a sachet.
******
The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world.
Niangqin and Li Ying stood on the wall of Yingdu, watching the team of Jinghou and Liu Huan and his party leave in a mighty way, Li Ying felt a little relieved.
The mother's eyes were reluctant, and Li Ying was helpless when she saw it, and there was no feast in the world, "If the mother wants to be a sister, Ying'er will accompany the mother to Chang'an." ”
The mother sighed and said, "Silly girl", how can it be so simple!
The silver candle spits out green smoke, and the gold bottle is feasting.
Leave the hall and think about the Qinse, don't go around the mountains and rivers.
The bright moon hides the tall trees, and the long river does not know the sky.
You Luoyang Road, what year will this be.
