33. Chapter 33
The little novice of the temple brought breakfast, the porridge was accompanied by a few delicious side dishes, Song Yuzhu and Qi Yu sat opposite each other, Qi Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Little girl, why did you stay here, Mrs. Hou?" ”
Song Yuzhu's eyes rolled, and she wondered whether to tell Qi Yu about the East Fence.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Yu said in her heart that this was just a child, stupid and stupid, and she couldn't speak clearly, and she was lost.
"You were the one who carried me back yesterday?" He only remembered that Song Yuzhu found him by the stream, and it was impossible to bring him home with the strength of the little girl, and he changed his dry clothes for him, so he naturally thought that the novice of the temple did the work for him, and he didn't know that there was Song Yuhong and Duan Linlang's cunning. "Don't be afraid, I'll send someone to the Hou Mansion to report the news in a while, and send you home as soon as possible." The east fence has not returned for two days, if it is greedy to linger under the mountain, it is good to say, what if something happens, it seems that it is also necessary to return to the country to report the news, send someone out to find the east fence.
He already had a plan in his mind, but he saw that the little girl didn't listen at all, and stared at the snacks on the table with big round eyes.
Qi Yu's index finger knocked on the table, seeing that the little girl woke up, she looked at him embarrassedly, he was a little funny, and a little helpless, "Eat, eat." ”
He has no playmates since he was a child, children of the same age laughed at him as a sick seedling, and he was afraid that he was sick, they were alienated from him, he still remembers his eight years old, the eldest princess's birthday banquet, the east fence carried him to the garden to join in the fun, a few children squatted on the ground to play marbles, he poked his head out from behind, and saw that the marbles accurately fell into the small hole dug in advance, and couldn't help but admire, who knew that a few children squatting in front of him saw him coming, but they were startled.
At this time, a grandmother trotted over and picked up a child, with an apologetic smile on his face, and turned to say something to the child in her arms.
He could seem to imagine what she was saying: stay away from him, what to do after she is sick.
Dong Liang was angry and angry and wanted to tell the eldest princess about the matter, Qi Yu smiled and stopped Dong Li, but since then, he has been even more reluctant to come out to meet people.
The small courtyard on that side was like a cage, with no locks that could not be picked, but it was still indestructible, imprisoning his soul.
On weekdays, only the eldest princess would come to see him and reprimand him for being too closed-minded, and whenever that happened, he just smiled and didn't speak.
His father must have hated him very much, and he didn't necessarily come two or three times a year, and the father and son didn't talk much about it.
And his brother and brother thought he was dull, and the brothers were not close.
Only Meng Rong came to visit him every once in a while while he lived in the Guogong Mansion, although he knew that Meng Rong was not completely sincere to him, but he was still grateful in retrospect.
Meng Rong became an orphan at the age of eight, and the eldest princess took pity on her young age, fearing that she would be wronged at the hands of her stepmother, so she took her to the Guogong Mansion to raise her.
Meng Rong has a gentle temperament since she was a child, perhaps because she is under the fence, she always has a little cautious flattery in her speech and demeanor, in Qi Yu's impression, Meng Rong seems to have been an adult since she was a child, she is more sensitive and delicate than anyone else, and understands the world better than anyone else......
Therefore, when Dong Li looked at the naïve Song Yuzhu in front of him, he was a little in a trance.
He wondered if this was what a child should be.
Speaking of which...... It's really enviable.
Song Yuzhu has a big appetite, one is that Song Yuhong and they have rescued Dongli last night, and I am afraid that they will be able to bring Neng Dongli back in a while; Second, the master was sitting across from her, and she never dreamed that she would one day be able to eat at the same table with her master!
She held the spoon and drank the bowl of white rice porridge in front of her first, perhaps because she was in a good mood, and the tasteless white rice porridge that she had always disliked became delicious.
After she finished drinking the porridge, she grabbed a steamed bun with her little hand, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
The steamed buns have no filling, and they don't taste good, which is unbearable, Song Yuzhu habitually turned her head and found that Mother Li was not standing behind her.
There was no way, Song Yuzhu had to pick up the side dishes by herself, but ...... She doesn't know how to use chopsticks......
So, Song Yuzhu held the spoon and scooped the small dish with difficulty, tossing it indiscriminately, but instead of scooping it up, it made a mess on the table.
Song Yuzhu was a little anxious, the more she wanted to eat, the more she couldn't eat, she secretly competed with herself, but at this time, the owner on the opposite side knocked on the table again.
She looked up and listened to her master, "Stick the spoon out." ”
Song Yuzhu was obedient and stretched out her spoon.
Qi Yu took a piece of radish strip with chopsticks and put it on Song Yuzhu's spoon.
"Eat."
Just like that, Qi Yu sandwiched the side dishes on Song Yuzhu's spoon, and Song Yuzhu obediently ate them all one bite at a time, and after a while, she ate all the big steamed buns. And in the end, Qi Yu didn't eat anything.
He suddenly realized a problem: he ...... Is this serving?
Song Yuzhu was satisfied, put the spoon, and habitually licked her fingers.
The corners of Qi Yu's mouth twitched, it is rare for a child to eat hands at this age.
Song Yuzhu smiled sweetly at Qi Yu, and couldn't help but sigh: "Master, how good it would be if you kept doing this to me!" If the owner feeds her every day, then she will be immersed in the honey pot happily, so Song Yuzhu boldly mentioned Qi Yu, "Can you be better to the kitten in the future?" ”
Why did you suddenly mention that cat? Qi Yu smiled and said, "What? Little girl, do you like that cat? It's better to give it to you and keep it. ”
"No, no, no...... I didn't mean that......" Song Yuzhu waved her hand hurriedly, a little shy, "The kitten still wants to follow you......" Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she felt that her face was hot.
Once the owner is identified, he must never leave it.
She is a loyal cat, and her owner is so good to her, she wants to accompany her master until she is old.
Qi Yu felt even more amused when he heard this, he couldn't understand the little girl's thoughts, but he had to admit that this little girl's childish words always made him happy.
He put down his chopsticks and patiently asked her, "Then what do you think I can do with that cat to be 'kind'?" ”
Song Yuzhu thought for a while and said seriously, "Kittens like to eat sweet snacks, like osmanthus cakes, fragrant and soft...... She also likes to eat meat, you live in the monastery now, she hasn't touched meat for a long time, and she has no strength every day...... She also likes to drink sour plum soup, she likes to drink chilled in summer, and she likes to drink warm ...... in winter" She said a lot of what she likes to eat in one breath, "By the way, she likes to sleep on soft beds, you have to make the mat thicker, the cat nest you built for her, the mat is too thin, and she doesn't like to sleep outside, she likes to sleep in the house......" She swallowed her saliva and peeked at Qi Yu, "If I can sleep in your bed, it would be better, she likes the smell of you......"
Qi Yu was still in the mood to tease Song Yuzhu at first, but gradually listening to her, the smile on the corner of her mouth could no longer be restrained, her hand pressed her temples, her body trembled with laughter, and in the end she coughed.
Seeing this, Song Yuzhu hurriedly jumped down from the chair and ran to Qi Yu, "Master, are you okay?" Did it scare you? ”
Qi Yu laughed enough, and finally stopped coughing, seeing Song Yuzhu looking at her innocently, she couldn't help but touch her head, "It's hard for you, think about it so much......"
Before Meng Rong entered the house, she heard a violent cough coming from inside, and she walked a few steps worriedly.
Qi Yu probably doesn't know the news of Dongli's death, with Qi Yu's personality, he only trusts Dongli alone, and he won't bring any servants when he moves to the temple to live and recuperate.
This is her chance!
Therefore, she gave incense to her deceased husband yesterday, and she plans to come over to accompany Qi Yu every day from today.
Then ...... at the right time
Anyway, she can't marry Chen Ping.
Never!
But as soon as she entered the door, she found that Qi Yu was not without anyone around.
There was a half-waist-high round and jade little girl standing beside Qi Yu, and Qi Yu coughed enough, relieved herself, and looked up at the little girl with a smile.
It was a smile she had never seen before.
The eyebrows and eyes are smiling, and there is no half of the gloomy look.
And then, she saw Qi Yu reach out and touch the little girl's head.
It was just a little girl, but Meng Rong didn't know why, but she had an indescribable weird feeling in her heart.
That taste is mixed with this flavor xù, and this love xù she knows, it is called - jealousy.
She felt ridiculous and naïve that she would be jealous of a child of five or six years old.
Maybe...... Maybe she and he can never go back to the past, maybe it's because he can't trust her anymore, that's why she has such a strong sense of crisis.
Meng Rong took a breath, walked into the room with a smile, and called him softly as before: "Cousin." ”
Qi Yu and Song Yuzhu looked at Meng Rong in unison.
When Qi Yu saw Meng Rong, he immediately smiled, his brows furrowed.
Meng Rong walked over, seemed to have completely forgotten all the unpleasantness she had had with Qi Yu, and asked Qi Yu with a concerned face, "Cousin, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”
She was standing where Song Yuzhu was standing just now, and she happened to squeeze Song Yuzhu to the side.
Song Yuzhu looked at the woman in front of her and touched the master's face and patted the master's back, anyway, she looked very skilled in taking care of people.
She scratched her head, and suddenly felt as if she was superfluous......
