Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Night Party
Lan Sheng handed the box to the butler and asked him to send the things back to the room first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The housekeeper went.
I glanced at Yueying beside me, Yueying understood, smiled and pursed her lips and left, but it made me blush.
Lan Sheng approached and said softly, "Are you in a hurry?" I went out and shopped for a long time to get it. ”
I thought to myself, in a prosperous place like Qiantang, shops selling calligraphy, painting and antiques should be everywhere, and it should not be difficult to buy a pair of Mr. Wenzhong's ink treasures. Isn't there some delay on the road? So he asked him, "Did something happen?" ”
"Nope." Lan Sheng smiled, but his expression was not relaxed.
Xu was aware of my concern, and he said, "Let's go to the dining room first, I didn't have time to eat at noon, and I'm hungry now." ”
I was a little distressed, so I didn't ask any more.
When they arrived at the dining room, Daddy and Auntie hadn't come over yet, and some dishes had already been set up on the dining table.
I was thinking that Lan Sheng was hungry, so I didn't care about anything else, and when I saw a plate of freshly fried glutinous rice dumplings on the table, I directly took one with my hand and brought it to Lan Sheng's mouth.
Lan Sheng was stunned and looked at me embarrassedly, and then I remembered that there was a little maid standing next to me.
Besides, why did I just take it with my hands? There are chopsticks on the table!
My face was hot, I hung my head, and withdrew my hand.
Lan Sheng was quick, took the ball in my hand at once, then stuffed it directly into his mouth, swallowed it without chewing a few times, and then smiled at me.
I feel like my face is getting hotter even more.
I sighed inwardly, lately, for some reason, I can't help but do stupid things......
After a while, Daddy and Auntie came over, Lan Sheng saluted them, and Daddy and Niang hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.
I secretly observed Ah Niang, and saw that she had no resistance to Lan Sheng, and thought that what I said to Daddy at noon this evening, Daddy had already told Ah Niang.
At the dinner table, A-Niang asked Lan Sheng about some things at home. The Lan family has few relatives, and there is only one uncle in the vicinity. Lan Sheng's mother was widowed in her early years, and she had Lan Sheng and Lan Sheng's two older sisters, both of whom had left the cabinet.
Daddy remembered that Lan Sheng said before that he would go to Fuzhou to be on duty after the beginning of spring next year, because Fuzhou was far away from Haining, so Daddy said that in the future, he would ask an acquaintance to transfer Lan Sheng to a place closer to home, so that it would be convenient to take care of his mother, wife and children at home......
I think Daddy's willingness to do this is largely because of me.
After eating, I left the dining room first under the pretext that something was wrong, but instead of going back to the attic, I waited on the way back to the house for Lan Sheng.
Actually, I can go out of the dining room with Lan Sheng, and then I don't have to stand in this dark place and wait.
Although I have done such a thing, but thinking of Daddy and Auntie's two pairs of dark eyes, I think it is better to be more restrained.
After a while, Lan Sheng came back, and there was a little maid beside him who was with him, thinking that she was here to guide him.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lan Sheng asked the little maid to go back and entered the courtyard by herself.
When I saw that the little maid was far away, I also quietly turned into the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the door, a hand stretched out and pulled me aside, and I almost screamed in fright.
Seeing Lan Sheng's face in a hazy way, I swallowed that exclamation into my mouth.
Lan Sheng whispered: "There may be other maids waiting there in the house, let's go somewhere else." ”
I thought he already had an idea, so I asked, "Where to go?" ”
Lan Sheng laughed out loud and said, "This is your home, didn't you say where to go?" ”
I was a little embarrassed, stroked my forehead, and said in my heart, in fact, I am not very familiar with this place......
I originally wanted to take him to the back garden, but I thought that there was no candle in the garden, and it was dark, and I was afraid of the dark, and I was afraid that I would not be able to speak. And it's late autumn, and it's easy to catch a cold if you stay outside for a long time.
After some thought, I decided to go to the attic to talk. It's just me and Yueying in the attic.,For Yueying,I don't need to hide anything.。
Lan Sheng followed me all the way, and when he reached the attic, he couldn't help but ask, "This is ...... Where? ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, "I'll live here." ”
"Oh, really?" Lan Sheng looked a little embarrassed, and asked me again, "Am I going in?" ”
He's embarrassed, isn't he?
I smiled, took his hand, and said, "I brought you here, is it possible that you are still standing outside?" He added: "Come in, it's okay, there's only Moon Ying inside, and she won't say anything." ”
"Moon Shadow is?" Lan Sheng asked as he walked.
"Oh," I introduced, "it's the personal maid, she's very nice, and I trust her." ”
Entering the attic, Yue Ying turned her head and saw Lan Sheng standing next to me, so she immediately turned her head away, holding her hands, as if she didn't know what to do.
After being stunned for a long time, Yue Ying said, "Zhu Niang, I'll go out first." ”
I remembered that it was cold outside, so I said: "Don't go out, it's heavy dew outside, you go upstairs, I'll talk to Lan Gongzi below for a while." ”
"Okay." After Yue Ying finished answering, she lowered her head and stepped on the wooden ladder and walked quickly upstairs.
I poured two cups of tea, and Lan Sheng stood in the room, looking around a little crampedly.
I took him by the hand and sat down, remembering the moment when he had just reached out to stop me in the courtyard, and asked him, "How do you know I'll be waiting outside your yard?" ”
Lan Sheng smiled: "I want to remember how I walked to the house where I lived, and I was observing the surroundings all the way, but I saw a corner of clothes next to the bamboo outside the courtyard, pink red, and I thought it might be you." ”
I pursed my lips and smiled. Lan Sheng said again: "The mosquitoes in late autumn bite people are terrible, is there anything that can't be said tomorrow?" ”
"I'm afraid I'll forget it tomorrow." I said.
Actually, I just want to meet you in private, and I want to say it.
As if he had seen through my thoughts, Lan Sheng said, "Although we are so close now, we are not as comfortable as when we were in the academy. He looked around uneasily, and said, "Are you really the only maid here?" ”
"Hmm!" I smiled and nodded, squeezing his hand tightly.
Lan Sheng said to me: "I bought a pair of Mr. Wenzhong's calligraphy and paintings in the shop today, and I will show it to you tomorrow, I wonder if my uncle will like it?" ”
I remembered that he came back so late today, and remembered the not very relaxed look on his face when he came back, so I said, "Lan Sheng, did you find many places to buy calligraphy and paintings today?" You are not very familiar with Qiantang, you can ask the housekeeper first. ”
"I asked the housekeeper," Lan Sheng said, "and the housekeeper said that there were many shops near the Drum Tower that sold calligraphy and paintings, and then I went there, just ......."
Lan Sheng's expression darkened.
My heart tightened, and I thought something was going on.
Lan Sheng said: "I met Zhao Gongzi there. ”
