Chapter 90: Watching the Falling Flowers
It snowed a few swans in succession, and the outside of the house was covered in silver, which was very beautiful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The girls got up early in the morning to sweep the snow and built snowmen outside to play.
Zhilan sat at the desk, looking enviously at the little girl who was squeaking outside the window because of the snowball, while absentmindedly turning the pages of the book in her hand.
"Wait." Chen Yifei on the side shouted.
Zhilan pouted unhappily, "Second Young Master, you have been reading all day long, can't you rest?" β
Chen Yifei only stared at the book and said coolly, "You can't read, how can you know the fun." β
"Who says I don't know?" Zhilan was unconvinced, "The second young master looks down on people. As he spoke, he pointed to a line on the page and read aloud, "If it rains, use the cooking method." After reading it, he raised his eyebrows very provocatively and looked at him.
Chen Yifei raised his head in surprise and couldn't help but smile, "When did you learn to read?" It's really grown a lot. β
"Not really." Zhilan said proudly, "I learn from Sister Ruoxun every day!" It's so simple that it doesn't bother me at all! β
"Oh?" Chen Yifei was interested, "She teaches you every day?" β
"Hmm." Zhilan nodded, this topic was much more interesting than a book, so she happily opened the conversation, "When you weren't injured before, Sister Ruoxun took an hour out every day to teach me...... Not only taught me, but once the second lady came to play, and when she saw it, she also shouted to learn, and Sister Ruoxun even taught her too. β
"Really?" Chen Yifei thought for a while, "Siqi usually doesn't like to be close to strangers...... It's also a rarity for her......"
"Hmm......" Zhilan nodded, "We said we were going to dye our nails at that time, but then you were injured, and Sister Ruoxun didn't have time to take care of this......"
Chen Yifei couldn't help but smile, "It's me delaying you like this." β
Zhilan glanced at him secretly, with a disgusted expression of "otherwise you would think".
is being caught by Chen Yifei.
Zhilan hurriedly lowered her head, only pretending to be reading seriously, and pointed to the passage just now, "But what kind of book is the second young master reading...... It's a pot and a boil, is it teaching people to cook? β
Chen Yifei just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and almost didn't squirt out when he heard the words, "You will understand." β
"Isn't that right?" Zhilan's face was full of puzzlement. "And what does it mean?"
Chen Yifei raised his eyebrows, "You really want to know?" β
"Hmm." Zhilan nodded hurriedly.
"If I doβdon't be afraid."
"What's so scary about that, just say it." Zhilan grinned.
Chen Yifei put down the teacup.
"This passage is teaching people to examine their bones. This means that if it rains on a cloudy day, it is necessary to boil the bones of the deceased as if they were boiling things, first boiling vinegar over a charcoal fire, then adding salt, white plums, and putting all parts of the bones into a pot to boil......"

Su Jinchen came in with a few red plums from outside, and just after entering the house, he saw Zhilan squatting in the corner retching.
She hurriedly put the flowers on the table, walked over and stroked her back, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" But you ate breakfast too quickly? β
Zhilan covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and only waved her hand uncomfortably. It wasn't until he pressed down the tumbling river and sea in his stomach for a long time that he said pitifully with red eyes, "Sister Ruoxun...... The second young master was teasing me just now, woo woo woo ......"
Su Jinchen couldn't help but look at Chen Yifei.
Chen Yifei couldn't cry or laugh, "Who is playing tricks on you, obviously you want to listen to it." β
"You're just trying to scare me!" Zhilan cried, "What else do you say to cook the bones of the dead, woo...... It's scary! As he spoke, he nestled into Su Jinchen's arms.
Su Jinchen was stunned for a moment, patted her with a smile, and said softly, "Ye didn't lie to you...... it was indeed said in the "Collection of Grievances". β
Chen Yifei couldn't help but look up at her.
"Ye Jing loves to read scary books!" Zhilan also complained with sobs, "...... I don't want to stay here, so you should flip the book for you...... I panicked when I looked at it. β
"It's fine." Su Jinchen smiled, wanting to say that this quirky little girl was originally waiting for her here, so he nodded and said, "I came back just now, and I saw that several of them were building snowmen and having snowball fights outside, which was very lively, so you can go and play with them for a while!" β
"Hmm!" The big eyes that were still teary a moment ago suddenly came to their senses, and without waiting for Su Jinchen's instructions, the little girl blew out like a whirlwind.
Su Jinchen smiled dotingly, and then remembered that there was a master in the house.
"Do you want to continue reading?" She walked over and asked softly.
Chen Yifei shook his head, "After watching it for so long, I'm a little tired." As she spoke, she glanced at the red plum she had placed on the table casually.
The red plums were excellently chosen, some of them were already in full bloom, and some of them were just budding flower bones. Delicate and staggered.
"Did you pick the flowers just now?"
"Yes." Su Jinchen stepped forward and changed a bowl of tea for him and put it at hand. "The red plums in the plum garden are blooming just right, and the slave maid passed by and folded a few, wanting to decorate the house for the master, are you optimistic?" She asked cautiously.
"Use that Dehua kiln porcelain bottle." He nodded, and pointed faintly.
Su Jinchen said yes, and went to get the bottle again.
It was quiet in the house.
One was slowly sipping tea, while the other was sitting by the window arranging flowers earnestly.
For a while, all I could hear was the click of scissors pruning branches and leaves.
She wore a Hangzhou silk jacket with plum blossom pattern on a white background today, which is as elegant and beautiful as the red plum in this bottle.
He used to be busy every day, and even if he stayed at home, he spent most of his time reading official documents in the study.
It's been a long time since I've been appreciating the people and things around me like this.
"Have you also watched "The Collection of Grievances"?" He asked suddenly.
Su Jinchen had already cut the last red plum and was about to insert it into the plum bottle, when he heard his words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Organize the bookcase for you first...... I've looked through it a few times...... "She blushed a little," ...... It was the slave and the maid who overstepped it. ...... later"
"In the future, if you want to read a book, you can go to the study to choose." He said directly, "There are only a limited number of books here. β
Su Jinchen lowered his head and thanked him softly.
I don't know if it's his delusion...... Since Su Jinchen saw his mother, he seemed to be more restrained towards him.
It's probably because of shyness......
"Is it cold outside today?"
"Actually, it's okay......" Su Jinchen finally arranged the flowers and placed them directly on the table, white and fresh, red and gorgeous.
"Why don't you go out for a walk?"
Chen Yifei was about to nod his head in agreement, when a girl suddenly came in from outside and reported that Qingyan had handed something to his master.
Chen Yifei looked at the mutton fat jade plate presented ......, "Let him take someone to the study and wait." (To be continued.) )
