Chapter Forty-Eight: Autumn Colors
The autumn sky is as blue as washing, there is not a trace of clouds in sight, the morning sun is clean and bright, and the green bricks in front of the Gongyuan seem to be shiny. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A young man stepped on the green brick, rushed to the stone steps in front of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and saw that the gate of the Tribute Courtyard was about to close, and the young man jumped up the high stone steps with a few ups and downs, stretched out his arm, and pressed against the gate, and pushed the gate that had not yet been closed open.
The young man and the guards at the door were talking something, and after a while, the guards methodically groped for his clothes, and checked the basket he carried, and the young man turned abruptly and looked down the stone steps behind him.
Outside the fenced stone steps, there are still many people looking here, either in groups of three or five, or looking at each other, some of them are the family members of the candidates, and some are purely here to see the excitement.
He saw a little girl standing there, the sun shining on her, her clothes embroidered with a foot-high flower. Behind her, two women dressed as servants and maidservants were talking to her, as if to coax her to leave, but she twisted her body and shook her head, her little neck pulled high, and looked at the person standing under the ancient willows.
The young man couldn't help but follow her gaze, only glanced at it, then turned his head away, clenched his fists, and strode into the Tribute Courtyard.
When passing by Mingyuan Tower, he saw the famous Wenchang acacia. Gu Huai is like a sleeping dragon, lying in the middle of the road, he didn't salute as deeply as other candidates, but just glanced at it lightly, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, what kind of flower is embroidered on the little girl's clothes, standing tall, like an orchid, but it is not any kind of orchid he has seen before.
Luo Jinyan, who was outside the Gong Courtyard, looked at the man under the ancient willow in a daze.
The man was tall and should be middle-aged, but his appearance was so handsome that people ignored his age, Luo Jinyan only felt that her throat was dry, and the pain made her open her mouth and swallow the fresh air with a hint of coolness.
Since the age of eight, her body has been getting better and better, and her throat has not hurt for a long time, but now, when she sees that man, she hurts again.
Qin Jue!
When these two words burst out of her mind, she also woke up instantly, of course this would not be Qin Jue.
Not to mention that the age is wrong, the appearance is also a little different when you look closely, Qin Jue's eyes are as deep as a thousand-year-old cold pool, and it is chilling to look at it carefully, but this man is like a warm jade, gentle and moisturizing, and if you look at it more, you will be more kind and gentle.
He stood far away under the ancient willows, looking at the Gongyuan from afar, Luo Jinyan saw him, and also saw the person he was looking at, she saw that the young man was talking to the officials of the Gongyuan, and could only see his back, the young back was not strong, but the figure as tall as a bamboo seemed familiar.
Luo Jinyan turned his head to look at the man under the ancient willows, the corners of the man's mouth curled, and a faint smile was raised.
Is he smiling? Smiling at the boy?
Luo Jin turned around hesitantly, but saw that the young man had already stepped into the Tribute Courtyard, and the gate of the Tribute Courtyard was closed again, and the corners of the blue coarse cloth robe disappeared between the gaps in the gate.
"Miss, hurry up and get in the car, it's not right for you to be here. Chang Gui's daughter-in-law begged in a low voice.
Luo Jinyan also wanted to get in the car, she felt tightness in her chest and her throat hurt even more.
It wasn't until Luo Jinyan got into the car again that Luo Shao realized that his daughter was not in the car just now, and he asked, "Where have you been?"
Luo Jinyan pointed to his throat: "It hurts......"
Luo Shao was shocked, regretting that he hadn't been ill for a long time, he hurriedly let the handlebar drive the mule cart to the herbal tea shop on the opposite street, personally went to buy a bowl of honey tea with Chuanbei, watched Luo Jinyan drink it in a big gulp, and asked with concern: "Is it better?"
Luo Jinyan didn't say a word, just shook his head.
Luo Shao was so anxious that he asked Yuanshan to ask for a doctor, and he took Luo Jinyan back to Yangshu Hutong.
Li Qingfeng went out early in the morning to talk about business, the poplar alley was deserted, Luo Jinyan did not go back to the house, and the beauty sitting under the porch leaned on, looking at the crape myrtle of the tree in a daze.
She began to think carefully about what she had just seen, and her thoughts gradually smoothed out, should the man under the ancient willows be Qin Jue's father, Qin Ye, or his uncle Qin Mu?
Luo Jinyan has never seen Qin Mu, when she entered the palace, Qin Mu had already become a scholar, and Qin Mu's two sons were also two Jinshi, but their career was not very smooth, and Qin Jue instead promoted the children of the other houses of the Qin family.
Whether this is Qin Ye or Qin Mu, the one who almost couldn't enter the venue because he was late could only be Qin Jue.
But Luo Jinyan still had an intuition that it was more likely that this person was Qin Ye.
That's Qin Jue's father, why is it as if he was sneaking into his entrance?
Luo Jinyan didn't bother to think about these things, she just knew that Qin Jue was not taken away by the patter of the flowers, nor was he kidnapped by the kidnapping ticket, in the autumn of the twenty-second year of Tongde, he participated in the township test in the Gongyuan of the capital.
The doctor invited and prescribed a prescription to clear heat and reduce swelling, this medicine Luo Jinyan has eaten countless times since he was a child, knowing that it is useless to eat, but he still poured a large bowl of medicinal soup under his father's concerned gaze.
In the evening, Li Qingfeng came back and brought back two baskets of autumn pears, the two autumn pears went down, and Luo Jinyan's throat was completely healed.
Luo Shao smiled, his daughter is really getting more and more realistic.
Luo Jinyan remembered her father's appearance in a daze in the mule cart, and felt sorry in her heart, she came to the east wing where Li Qingfeng lived.
Seeing the list she had written a long time ago, Li Qingfeng was stunned, read the list carefully, and then asked, "It's a pity, this ......"
Luo Jinyan smiled: "Table...... Elder brother...... Yes...... ......"
Li Qingfeng smiled, of course he had these things, most of them were brought from Yangzhou.
When he first purchased these things, he thought that if he met a fellow villager in Jiangnan, he might be able to use it, but he didn't expect to be cherished and remembered.
What is it?
Jinhua ham, West Lake lotus root noodles, Shaoxing rice wine, Taicang meat floss, and Gaoyou's salted duck eggs.
At this time, Luo Jinyan handed him another list and said with a smile: "Look...... See...... Can...... ......"
The beautiful and elegant hairpin flowers are written in small letters, and some have no names, so they are replaced by official positions.
The next day, Luo Shao and Luo Jinyan didn't go anywhere, and the father and daughter played chess on the stone table under the crape myrtle tree for a whole day.
On the 10th day of the first month of August, Master Qian Liang Jiao Wei and Manager Lin both came from Changping, which surprised Luo Shao and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiao Weiqi said: "Didn't you ask Li Chu to send a message, saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, let us come over to give gifts?"
Luo Shao was confused, could it be that he had a strange disease of sleepwalking, otherwise when did he ask Li Chuyi to deliver the letter?
Luo Jinyan came out of nowhere, his little head was shaky, and there was a bead flower on each of the two barely tied up small buns, and the bead flower was swaying, as if it was about to fall down at any time.
"I ...... Let...... Give...... ......"
Luo Shao didn't understand for a while, but looked at the bead flower on Luo Jinyan's head and grinned: "This was just bought?"
Luo Jinyan smiled, touched his nose, and looked at Li Qingfeng who was standing outside the door.
Li Qingren sighed, hugged his fists, and said loudly: "It's the little nephew and cousin who make their own decisions and want to accompany their brother-in-law to have a lively Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
