Chapter 8: Returning to the Door (I)
Nalan Qi hummed a little song, and hurried towards her orchid pavilion with light steps, and a few feet away, she saw the red and green fragrance in her small garden, and she suddenly felt refreshed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You girl, what are you going to die? Our young lady loves Zhao Fan the most, why did you pull her out like a weed? ”
I don't know where there was an unhappy shouting from any corner, and Nalan Qi couldn't help but laugh. Xia He's maid was sold into the house by her teeth when she was about 7 years old, and it is said that she fled from the north, which is quite straightforward. scolded people with one mouth, and said that people did not distinguish between east and west, north and south, but he was a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
"Xia He, your young lady is back."
Nalan Qi cushioned his toes, barely able to distinguish the direction, and shouted with a smile. But after a while, she saw a pale cyan figure running over, with a youthful and bright luster on her face.
"Miss, it's three o'clock in the morning, you should be hungry."
The fifteen-year-old girl is a good age, and her slender figure and willow branches in the spring breeze are as intoxicating. The sound was just right, so bright that the slightest dampness in the morning air disappeared.
"Well, I'm hungry. Didn't Xia He make some delicacies to satisfy my mouth? ”
"Miss, you are laughing at me again, how can I have the ingenuity of Qiu Ju?"
Before he finished speaking, Xia He seemed to have been pinched by the throat, hurriedly rubbed his mud-stained hand twice on the pale cyan placket, picked up the corner of Nalan Qi's clothes, and shouted with a white face: "Miss, aren't you being bullied by someone who doesn't have long eyes?" ”
"Xia He thinks there is anyone in this Nalan Mansion who can bully your young lady?" The damp and bloody earthy smell of early spring lingered on the tip of Nalan Qi's nose, but it made her feel more at ease.
"Miss Seven, the second lady said that she would bring a few children to meet her grandfather when she returned to the door today, and asked if you would like to go with her?" Nalan Qi was about to tease his maid a few more words, but saw a middle-aged woman in a hurry come over, curtsy and said something unhurriedly.
This is her nurse, who wears a crow-blue housekeeper dress all year round, with cheekbones and thin cheeks that are slightly higher than ordinary people, which is quite terrifying.
"How could Miss go?" Xia He's face flushed with some annoyance, and she muttered quietly, but she caught a glimpse of Mama Xu's unrestrained expression and the fleeting Limang in her eyes. He hurriedly lowered his head and swallowed the rest of the words in his stomach.
It was silent for a moment, until the maid who was pruning flowers and plants not far away stepped on a dead branch again, Nalan Qi raised his head, glanced at his grandmother indifferently, and said: "Naturally, I want to accompany my mother back, not to mention" The voice became more and more serious, and the second half of the sentence actually dissipated in the air.
"Miss Seven, the slave maid went to talk back first." The expression of the grandmother who was standing quietly on the side did not change, and she made a series respectfully, and then glared at Xia He, who was stunned on the side, and said in a low voice: "It's a quarter of an hour now, why don't you take the young lady to breakfast soon." Only then did he quietly retreat.
"Yikes! There is actually a hibernating snake under the root of this Zhao Fan. Chun'er, throw a cloth bag over, catch it and make wine for my father to drink. ”
Not far away, the little maid was muttering to her companion again.
"What is dormant always has to wake up alive." Nalan Qi chuckled lightly and glanced at the maid behind him who was still stunned.
Xia He seemed to be thoughtful, scratched his hair bun with his head, and still asked with some puzzlement: "But not all hibernating snakes will be caught. ”
"Yes, it's a pity that snake tamers prefer awake and obedient snakes." Nalan Qi didn't look back at the maid who was frowning and thinking, and went back by himself.
