Chapter 283: Offering Cicadas
When she received the letter, Luan Xiuyin was surprised and happy in her heart, she didn't think deeply that she was trying to win Xiangyu's favor now, and it was not appropriate to cause trouble, even if she decided to go to the mountain behind Lingyun Temple to meet Qili.
And Qili, who also received the letter, fell into deep thought after reading the letter.
On the day of the mutual appointment, Luan Xiuyin got up early in the morning to clean up, picked out the most beautiful dresses and jewelry, etc., and asked the maid to put on a particularly delicate makeup.
And Qili finally decided to set off to meet Luan Xiuyin.
Seeing Luan Xiuyin's carriage set off in the direction of Lingyun Temple, the Hanfu servant hiding in the shadows quickly ran back to report it.
In the Han Mansion, the two sisters and brothers of Hantang Li, who learned that Luan Xiuyin had set off, immediately followed and set off to Lingyun Temple, along with a few noble sons and daughters of other clans who had made an appointment with Hantang Pear and Hanyun for several days.
How about catching the current situation and not finding more people to join in the fun?
When the Hanfu carriage arrived at the gate of Lingyun Temple, there were two carriages parked there, one of which was owned by Luanfu.
"It seems that Childe has also arrived. Looking at the other carriage not far from the Luanfu carriage, Han Tangli showed a smug smile.
The reason why they chose the mountain behind Lingyun Temple was specially set at this time today was because they knew in advance that Xiangyu would come to Lingyun Temple today.
Although Xiangyu does not come to Lingyun Temple many times, but every time he comes, he will always go to the back mountain to play the qin, and Luan Xiuyin and Qili will also meet in the back mountain today for a tryst.
Han Tang Li and Han Yunguo rushed to the back mountain at a very fast speed, but the scene they expected did not happen as scheduled in front of them, on the contrary, they actually saw Luan Xiuyin, Qi Li and Xiangyu in one place.
Xiangyu was sitting leisurely at a stone table in the pavilion, and the raccoon slave was burning incense and cooking tea on the side, and the aroma of boiling tea mixed with the smell of spices being burned, slowly spread out in all directions, and then was carried into the mountains and valleys by the wind, and there was no trace.
"Childe, this cicada lives in the city of fog that is frozen all year round, and Miss Luan specially commissioned a slave to capture it and give it to you. Qili knelt on the ground on both knees, holding a glass box with both hands, and in the transparent glass box, a cicada with full momentum was being contained in it.
Xiangyu's gaze lazily fell on the cicada, and after looking at it for a while, he looked away and looked at Qili, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to dare to appear in front of me alone." ”
Qi Li was stunned for a moment, cautious, and replied tentatively: "The son is magnanimous, and he will not disdain to discuss the mistakes made by the slave before. ”
Xiangyu chuckled, and her eyes drifted to Luan Xiuyin, who was standing beside Qili.
Luan Xiuyin's head hung slightly at the moment, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, only revealing a small part of her hands, and her fingers were clasped together and stirring slightly.
Xiangyu paused, glanced at the raccoon slave, the tanuki understood, immediately stepped forward, took the glass box from Qili's hand, and then walked back to Xiangyu and presented the glass box.
Xiangyu took it, took the box in his hand and played with it, he looked closely at the motionless cicadas in the box, and suddenly asked, "How does Miss Luan know that I like winter cicadas?"
Luan Xiuyin was touched by Xiangyu, and the movements on her hands paused, she raised her head, and replied in a small voice: "The little girl once heard her grandfather say that when the son was young, he liked to catch cicadas and play every winter. ”
"Oh, then, I have to thank Miss Luan. ”
"It's good if Childe likes it. ”
"But," Xiangyu changed her words and said, "When did Miss Luan have such a good relationship with Qi Gongzi, and this cicada is not so easy to catch?"
The smile on Luan Xiuyin's face stiffened slightly, her pink lips squirmed slightly, and she was about to say something, when she suddenly heard Qili next to her reply instead of her: "Miss Luan once saved the life of the slave, and the slave should do this little thing for Miss Luan and Yu Gongzi." ”
When Xiangyu heard this, the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up with an inexplicable smile: "That's ......"
Standing not far away, Han Tangli and the others, who were watching the scene that happened here, their faces were full of surprise and puzzlement, Han Tangli glanced at Han Yunguo, and several people quickly evacuated, without alarming a few people in the pavilion.
Only when their figures retreated, they didn't notice that the tanuki's body was gently tilting in their direction.
Not long after Han Tangli and Han Yunguo and their party left Lingyun Temple, Xiangyu's carriage also left.
Today, he originally planned to come to the open place behind Lingyun Temple to play the piano and express his lyricism, and let go for a while, but he didn't want to see Luan Xiuyin and Qili waiting in the pavilion where he usually stayed as soon as he came.
The two came to see him just to offer cicadas.
There are not many people who know that he likes winter cicadas, and Luan Jing is indeed one of them, so it is reasonable that Luan Xiuyin can think of offering cicadas for him to win his favor.
It's just that......
Why did they hide in the dark and eavesdrop, and then left quietly?
With his understanding of Hantang pear, at the juncture when he is about to marry, shouldn't Hantang pear take the initiative to come up?
"Tanuki. He sat down in the carriage and immediately called.
"Yes, Childe. ”
"Go and find out why the pair of sisters and brothers in the Hanfu suddenly appeared in Lingyun Temple today. ”
"Yes. ”
Outside the carriage, the footsteps of the tanuki slave were just about to go away, and Xiangyu suddenly stopped him again: "Wait......"
"Childe?" the tanuki approached the carriage again.
At the same time, he also found out that Miss Luan in Qili's mouth had a life-saving grace for him, what kind of life-saving grace it was. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiangyu's carriage returned to the gate of Xiangfu, and it was past noon.
After Xiangyu returned to the Jade Disturbance Courtyard, he didn't see the figure of the moon fence, he sat on the soft collapse, and asked the little guy who served him tea on the side: "Where is the moon fence?"
"Miss Yueli left the house this morning and has not yet returned. ”
Yin Heng walked in from outside the door at this time, and followed him inside, as well as seeing the falcon.
"Childe, she didn't go to meet those ghosts today, but she went to Hanfu. ”
Xiangyu was drinking water for a moment, and he raised his head: "What are you doing in Hanfu?"
See Falcon: "The slave only heard her talking about Miss Hanji when she went out." ”
"Miss Hanji?" Xiangyu's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and her fingers rubbed one or two on the cup, "Let her go." ”
In the evening, Xiangyu changed into a loose white jade robe, he did not go to the study to paint as usual, or went to the bamboo forest to lie on the bamboo and rattan chair to enjoy the shade, he only sat on the spot in front of the door of the bedroom in the courtyard, with a bamboo and rattan woven pad.
"Go to the courtyard and dig up a jar of wine. Xiangyu instructed the tanuki.
The raccoon slave was slightly stunned and responded, "Yes." ”
As soon as the tanuki took a few steps, he heard Xiangyu's voice continue to come from behind him: "If she comes back, take her to the Jade Disturbance Courtyard." ”
"Yes. ”
