31. Secret Investigation (1)
On a November day, it was cold when it was cold, the earth dragon of Orchid Garden was burning, and the spices burned in the silver scent ball were added with rose petals and borneol, which smelled tight, and listened to the wind whistling outside, and felt very comfortable in the house.
The belt held by Chan Yi has been embroidered for a while, and the plum blossom petal embroidery is always not to her liking, so she simply pulled the thread and picked up the plum blossoms one by one to re-embroider.
Jin Se carefully handed the needle and thread on the side, the young lady came out of Fushoutang, and after quarreling with the third master in the warm pavilion, she came back sullen, although she didn't lose her temper like before, but such a calm face was more worrying.
Chanyi shouted Jinping, and wanted to ask her to make a cup of tea, so she heard Jinse say: "Sister Jinping has not come back from the outer courtyard, Miss wants to drink tea and make it for you." ”
Chanyi nodded, looked at the sun outside, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, it stands to reason that the eldest brother should come back from Wutang, and took a sip of the tea made by Jin Se in his hand, and he didn't know what was going on.
There was a noise in the courtyard, Chanyi raised her eyes to look out through the glass window, but she couldn't see it really, until the indigo thick cotton curtain was lifted by the maid, and the tall figure came in, and she had a smile on her face.
Xia Mingchen sat on the couch, reached out and picked up her teacup, tilted his neck, put a cup of tea into his abdomen, and said with a smile: "Is there anything else?" Today, Xiao Pei's kid doesn't know what to do, and he was ruthless during the school practice, and I gave him a way to dial a thousand catties in four or two in a hurry, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to lift my arm today. "The boy of seventeen or eighteen years old is wide and tall, and even when he sits on the couch, it is a small mountain.
Chan Yi hurriedly ordered: "Go and pour a cup of tea for the eldest brother." ”
Xia Mingchen casually swept to the unfinished belt in the basket, the plum blossom petals on it were beautifully embroidered, and he couldn't help but pick it up and look at it, Chanyi put the tea in front of him: "Big brother drink tea." Then he waved his hand and let the little maids in the room retreat.
"Big brother, how's it going?"
Xia Mingchen put down his belt and poured two cups of tea before he felt that he was about to quench his thirst, looking at the mysterious appearance of the girl, he felt that some little dolls pretended to be adults, and couldn't help but want to laugh, "I checked, there is nothing wrong with the decoction." ”
Chanyi was a little surprised, shouldn't it, it stands to reason that although the mother's body has always been weak, but every time the doctor comes back, he says that he can be adjusted well, it's not a big problem, how can he die when the third prince returns to the palace?
Xia Mingchen saw her eyebrows furrowed, and couldn't help but rub her hair: "What does the little doll's family think about all day long?" No matter how favored the concubine is, she doesn't dare to poison her mother, and if she is found out, let alone her father, even I can't spare her! ”
The hair bun that was combed in the morning was loosely kneaded by the big hand, and Chan Yi hurriedly slapped that hand down, "Brother, don't always like to rub my head, I'm already twelve!" It's not a little doll anymore! ”
Xia Mingchen couldn't help laughing, he only had this girl when he was five years old, when his mother gave birth to her in the evening, the slanting sun reflected the sunset very beautifully, hearing the first cry of her, he remembered the poem he had just learned, "The day is pouring into the evening, and the moon is rising to the first light." So she had her own little words - Wanzhao, and her name was Wanwan.
Xia Mingchen's face was pampered: "You are a little doll no matter how old you are twelve years old, you don't have to worry about those things, with your brother here, you and your mother will definitely be protected." ”
