Chapter 516: Depression
In fact, I can't come to the county these days, in addition to maintaining communication and exchanging news with my mother and eldest sister, I also keep in touch with Qin Zhaoxue.
It's just that this correspondence is a little too vague, after all, it is all sandwiched in the letter at home, Qin Zhaoxue wrote a few words and took it, and Yun Duo also smiled and said that she and Jiang Chao didn't say that they communicated without seeing each other for a few days, why must they be so close to Qin Zhaoxue.
Qixi can't be explained, otherwise what would she say, saying that she was not in the county, as the only person who knew about Qin Zhaoxue's family, she was really relieved that she didn't live next door?
Although Qin Zhaoxue's letter has never written anything, they all say that it is very good here, after all, no one in their family has gone out recently, and even the purchase of rice and noodles and vegetables has been instructed by Qixi to help the family, but Qixi is still a little worried.
Fortunately, the Li family is not a lot of words, at that time, Qixi vaguely mentioned some things next door, let me help more, and did not say the specific reason, Li did not ask more, and took this matter without saying a word.
In her words, there is no difficulty in anyone's house, then the main family next door is Qin Zhaoxue, a girl, presumably there are even more difficulties that outsiders don't know, they all live in such neighbors, so naturally they can help more.
When I went out, it was still early, and every household outside had just opened the door, but Qixi knew that Qin Zhaoxue had always gotten up early, and I was afraid that she had already eaten and was reading or practicing calligraphy, so she went over to knock on the door with a basket.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a voice to come from the door: "Who?"
Qixi laughed when he heard it, and raised his voice: "It's me, Qixi." ”
"Miss Tanabata......" The door paused. Then the door slammed open. Ling Er's face showed surprise on her face. "Miss Tanabata, are you back?"
Qixi froze for a while, and then thought about it, Qin Zhaoxue Ling'er and they have always lived in the county, so for them, Qixi came from the countryside to here, so they smiled and nodded: "Yes, I arrived yesterday, and there were guests at home at that time, so I came to see you today." Sister Zhaoxue should be up, right?"
Ling Er's originally smiling face paused for a moment, and then she hurriedly smiled again: "It's up, our young lady has already gotten up, it's just ...... Miss Tanabata come in, it's windy outside. ”
Ling Er looked a little speechless and stopped halfway through speaking, and then hurriedly let Qixi in, but Qixi still noticed it, and then took a closer look, and found that this morning should have been full of energy, but Ling Er looked a little haggard. There is even some blue and black under the eyes.
Thinking of the pause when I heard her talk about Qin Zhaoxue just now, coupled with her like this. Qixi couldn't help but be a little worried, and hesitated to speak: "What's the matter, didn't you rest yesterday?"
Ling Er pursed her lips when she heard this, in fact, she didn't plan to say it at first, because she had long been used to hiding her own affairs, and she couldn't tell outsiders lightly, but Miss Qixi was different, not only her own miss, but even she couldn't help but have a sense of dependence on this kind-hearted and stable young lady, although she was not old enough to be old, and she didn't know where this feeling came from.
In addition, she also knew that they were able to stay at home so carefully these days, and it was Miss Qixi who said that the Shen family took care of them, and Ling Er was even more grateful to her in her heart, thinking about her own affairs, the only one who could say about her own affairs was afraid that it was Miss Qixi in front of her.
Thinking like this, thinking of the young lady in the room again, Ling Er's originally strong smiling face was gone, and her eyes turned red in an instant: "Miss Qixi ......"
"Oh, what's wrong, why are you crying?" Qixi was startled, and hurriedly coaxed, "Don't cry, you tell me something, isn't it...... Sister Zhaoxue, she ......"
"Hmm......" Ling Er choked up and nodded, "Miss hasn't been in good health lately, and we can't do anything in a hurry, let's ...... Miss Qixi Festival, you go in and talk to our young lady, every time you finish talking to the young lady, she will be very happy, usually she doesn't tell us anything, for fear that the big guys will be in a hurry. ”
Qixi was sad when she heard it, she knew the meaning of Ling Er's words, it was true, after slowly getting in touch with Qin Zhaoxue a lot, she knew that she was the person in Ling Er's mouth, and many things were buried in her heart and not to be said, but in fact, she also understood Qin Zhaoxue, the master and servant of this family, in addition to herself, the old and the young were left, and she really followed her to worry about it in vain, since it was like this, it was better to endure it.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qixi table didn't say so much and made her feel at ease when she first came into contact, I was afraid that she didn't even have the only person to talk to, a girl who was not very old, but she didn't know how many things she had hidden in her heart, and she had to suffer everything by herself, she felt that it was not easy for Qin Zhaoxue to be as gentle and kind as she is now.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, didn't I come, you go wash your face, it will hurt when you dry your face later, Sister Zhaoxue should be in the study at this hour, right? Qixi hurriedly persuaded.
I sincerely felt a feeling of being trusted and depended on, looking at Ling Er, who was crying pitifully, Qixi hurriedly took care of it, but it was indeed worried, I had been thinking about it in the countryside before, and I couldn't wait to enter the house at the moment.
Seeing that Ling Er's sobbing voice was a little quieter, Qixi hurriedly handed her the small basket: "It's all some food I brought over, you can put it in the kitchen later, I'll show you my hand at noon, I haven't eaten my craft for a long time, you must be hungry, right? ”
Qixi deliberately said with a smug look, and immediately made Ling Er burst into laughter.
In fact, she is completely nonsense, Qixi never thought that one day she would become a chef completely, when she practiced a good cooking skill, she purely loved to eat, and now look, there are several apprentices who have not formally apprenticed, and when Mr. Ji Rongyou and others come to the house, Bao Zhun'er who cooks is also her.
Think about the opening of the restaurant in a few days, in order to attract customers at the beginning, presumably she will have to stay in the kitchen for a while, thinking of this Qixi Festival sincerely wants to sigh, in fact, she really does not dislike cooking, but when a hobby becomes a must do every day, it seems a little less beautiful, of course, it is still very beautiful to be able to make money with this interest.
Seeing Ling Er obediently carrying the basket and walking away, Qixi knew that she trusted herself, otherwise according to Ling Er's loyalty and maintenance of her young lady, it would be impossible for outsiders to let outsiders get so close to her young lady.
Qixi pushed the door in, stood outside the small study and stopped, took a breath for some reason, and was just about to reach out and knock on the door, when he heard a cough from inside, followed by Qin Zhaoxue's voice: "Ling'er, why don't you come in?"
Qixi frowned, thinking about the voice she heard just now, she was a little hoarse, and with the coughing sound, it was obvious that Qin Zhaoxue was not just what Ling Er said was not very good, she used to be weaker because of the depression in her heart, but now she is obviously sick.
I pushed the door in, and before I could speak, I saw Qin Zhaoxue standing in front of the desk, bending slightly to write something with a pen, and when she heard the door opening, she didn't raise her head and asked: "Ling'er, you can go next door later, see if Xi'er is still busy, cough cough, if I'm not busy, I'll take a look at her......"
"Sister Zhaoxue misses me, right?" said with a smile.
Qin Zhaoxue was startled, stopped her pen and looked up, only to see that the person who came in was Qixi Festival, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, and opened her mouth to speak, but before she could speak, another cough came.
Qixi hurriedly went over to the table next to him and poured a cup of tea, handed it over and said, "Take a sip of tea and press it." ”
Qin Zhaoxue didn't say anything, put down the pen, took a sip of the teacup, calmed down slightly, and then looked at Qixi and said, "Thank you." ”
"And say thank you. Qixi gave her a white look, she has been used to giving people white eyes these days, so she gave Qin Zhaoxue one by the way, and then pulled her to the side and sat down, "What's the matter, my face is so bad, is it infected with the cold?"
Qin Zhaoxue was amused by her little expression, but she was obviously happier with Qixi's inconspicuous behavior and expression, she knew that Qixi regarded her as a close person to be so invisible.
He nodded and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that it's cold these days, and I'm a little cold." ”
Qixi continued to white her, Qin Zhaoxue was not good at this, she was used to holding everything in her heart, sometimes she really wanted to say don't be like this, everyone discussed what to say, maybe if a person finds it difficult, it is not so difficult to give an idea when he says it.
But she knew that Qin Zhaoxue had something unspeakable, and if she refused to continue to say it deeply, she must not be able to say it, otherwise according to her opening at the time, she didn't even hide from her, and she would definitely say it if she could say it.
It's just that now when I look at her and see that I am back, I am really happy, but there is still a sadness that is difficult to hide in the happiness, and after thinking about it, I said first: "Stretch out your hand, I'll check your pulse first." ”
Qin Zhaoxue was slightly stunned, then smiled, put down the teacup, stretched her hand forward without saying a word, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you come back earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have to let Ling Er grab the medicine, and I don't know if the medicine is right or not." ”
Qixi secretly sighed and didn't say anything, I heard that in order to hide from people, I must not even invite a doctor to come to the house, this is sick and let the doctor come to see it in person and let others describe it can be the same, prescribe the right medicine for the case, I didn't even see the symptoms with my own eyes, it's strange that it can take effect quickly.
Ning Shen put his finger on it, and Tanabata carefully checked his pulse, so naturally he stopped talking, and there was no sound in the room for a while. (To be continued......)
