The gloomy sky was pouring rain, and the red sleeves held an umbrella and hurriedly walked towards the Lan Courtyard. Even though I walked through the verandah, I still got a lot of moisture on my body, and the hem of my skirt was already wet from the rain.

When she arrived at the door of Lan Yuan, she handed the umbrella in her hand to the little girl in the ear amp. I got rid of the clogs on my feet, raised my hand and brushed my hair, and walked in with the curtain.

Seeing that her girl was drinking porridge, her lips were squirming, and she hesitated, but she couldn't help but say: "Girl, just now the person in the concierge came to report, saying that someone from the cell sent a letter over, Ziyi······· She ······ in purple She's dead. Her voice grew quieter, and she couldn't tell if she was worried about scaring the girl, or if she was a little sad.

Lan Xin's hand drinking porridge paused slightly, and then continued to drink the porridge in the bowl with his head down. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to notice it.

Red Sleeves watched her girl drink the porridge in the bowl by herself, not sure if she had heard what she had just said. His lips squirmed, and he just opened his mouth and shouted, "Girl······"

"Ahem!" Dongxiu coughed lightly and shook his head at Red Sleeves. Red Sleeves paused, nodded slightly, and stood silently on the side.

After Lan Xin swallowed the porridge in his mouth, he didn't turn his head, and said in a low voice: "I know, you go down and change your clothes, so as not to catch a cold." As he spoke, he lifted his chopsticks and took a slice of cucumber into his mouth and chewed it gently.

Red Sleeves was shocked and stunned for a moment, wondering if what he had just said made the girl unhappy. However, there was no reason on the girl's face. Subconsciously glanced at Dong Xiu, and Dong Xiu glared at her helplessly. Alas, it's really anxious for the brains of the red sleeves. Since the girl has told you to go down, you should go then!

Looking at Dong Xiu's frowning and winning, and then at Lan Xin, who was drinking porridge and eating with a satisfied face, he silently saluted Lan Xin and retreated lightly.

After Lan Xin swallowed the food in his mouth, he took a chopstick of sour and hot radish shreds and put it in his mouth. This is Lan Xin's favorite side dish, and almost every few days, Jane's mother will bring a plate. It's the season of the radish harvest, and this radish is exceptionally crisp.

Dongxiu has been by Lan Xin's side for many years, and her mind is more transparent than others. Although there was no superfluous expression on her girl's face, she knew that her girl was in a very bad mood now. But at this time, it is in vain to say anything. I could only purse my lips and accompany her silently.

For a moment, the two people in the room were silent, except for the sound of rain outside, that is, the sound of Lan Xin chewing on radishes.

After Lan Xin swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, he picked up the handkerchief next to him and pressed the corners of his mouth, sighing with satisfaction: "Today's sour and hot radish is really delicious, especially refreshing." ”

Dongxiu's hand to pack things paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, this is all Zhen's mother's handiwork!" His eyes rolled, and he continued to smile, "Actually, it's strange to say." Mother Jane once taught the slave how to cook this dish. The materials and processes are all the same, but the taste is a big difference from Jane's mother. "It's not that she's modest, it's true.

"Actually, you've done a good job. Lan Xin took a few sips of tea, rinsed her mouth, and said with a smile, she had also heard of Dongxiu's cooking of sour and hot radish. "You are also very talented in cooking, otherwise, Mother Jane would not have taught you. It's just that everyone has their own habits and techniques, and the things they make are naturally different. ”

Dong Xiu quickly put the dishes and chopsticks and the rest of the dishes into the food box, ready to bring them to the kitchen later. smiled and said, "Mother Jane also told the slave maid like this. Therefore, the slave's heart is not as anxious as before. ”

"That's right. Nothing happens overnight. Lan Xin said with a smile, stood up, opened the curtain and walked out.

Dongxiu knew that the girl was very uncomfortable now and wanted to go out to breathe, so she didn't say much to stop it. I just took two cloaks from the shelf and followed.

Lan Xin didn't go far, just stood under the porch. When Dongxiu came out, she saw that she was waving her hand to let the little girl in the ear room go back. The little girl was a little worried on her face, and after turning around and seeing the cloak in Dongxiu's hand, she saluted and took a few steps back.

Dongxiu handed her cloak to the little girl, and didn't say much, just silently put Lan Xin's cloak on. Then he took the cloak in the little girl's hand, and after putting it on his body, he waved his hand to let the little girl go into the ear room.

Lan Xin saw that Dongxiu was doing things in a disciplined manner, so she pursed her lips and laughed silently. Seeing that Dongxiu was cleaned up, he walked forward. Dongxiu silently followed behind her girl.

The two walked slowly along the verandah, as if enjoying the scenery in the rain, and as if they were simply walking, and the surrounding scenery was not in sight at all.

Turning the verandah, the two came to a pavilion. Above the pavilion with red tiles and red lacquer pillars is written "Bamboo Pavilion", two strong and powerful typing. The bamboo pavilion is called a bamboo pavilion because it is surrounded by bamboo.

Lan Xin stood at the red lacquer carved railing, looking at the bamboo forest in the rain. This piece of bamboo was planted by my father when he bought this house. It turned out that there was a large area of peonies planted here, perhaps because the owner did not take care of it carefully, and a large area of peonies withered.

Daddy was taboo in his heart, so he destroyed this large peony garden and planted bamboo with his own hands. Because bamboo is evergreen all year round, the branches are straight, and the snow is frosty. Daddy wants to use the power of bamboo to suppress the decay of peonies.

Daddy planted a bamboo seedling back then, and now it's a bamboo forest. Because there are people in the house who take care of it, it is full of life, and it is difficult to see even dead leaves.

The bamboo forest in the autumn rain is verdant and refreshing. The rain gradually subsided, and the raindrops fell on the sword-shaped bamboo leaves, rolling in a circle before falling. After being washed by rain, the bamboo leaves are even more verdant, and even the small serrations on the edges of the leaves can be clearly seen.

Lan Xin tightened the cloak on his body, looked at Dongxiu next to him, and said with a smile: "You still know me." Dongxiu knew that she was in a bad mood, so she must want to go out for a walk and breathe. So Dongxiu didn't open his mouth to stop it, but just took the cloak.

And the purpose of Dongxiu getting a cloak for herself is to accompany Lan Xin for a walk. Otherwise, she stood tremblingly beside her own girl, which would surely disturb the girl's interest.

Lan Xin looked at the verdant bamboo forest and sighed faintly, "What do you think about the matter of Ziyi?"
