Chapter 98: Affection
Li Guan said it casually, but he didn't expect that there was really such a person as Bai Lu, and there was a strange look on his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I heard Pu Jia laugh and said: "The slave maid was originally called Hongxing, and Bai Lu was originally called Luliu, after the young lady lived in the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye pointed to the slave and maid and the two of them to serve the young lady closely, saying that we will be the people around the young lady in the future, and we can no longer call such a cheesy name, so we specially gave the slaves and maids a new name." ”
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, and slowly read: "The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yiren is on the water side." ”
Wang Manqing listened to this, and a faint flush appeared on her cheeks.
"Mouthy girl, why don't you go and bring some fresh fruit!" She glared at Pu Jia and scolded coquettishly.
"Yes!" Pu Jia smiled and was blessed, and retreated.
Wang Manqing took out a small hand stove from under the kang table and handed it to Li Guan, saying, "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense, there is no such thing as what she said." You just came in from outside, warm your hands. ”
Li Wan looked at her as a little daughter, and didn't know how to react for a while, so he silently took the stove and hugged it in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Wang Manqing saw that Li Guan lowered his head and said nothing, and asked softly.
Li Guan wanted to speak and stopped.
"If there's anything you and I can't say, stop the ink, and say it directly!" Wang Manqing smiled, a little bit lively as before.
After the great changes, it is difficult to see the bright smile on Manqing's face in the past, and now there is something about the Qiao family, don't mention the dirty hearts that make things worse, anyway, the future will be long.
Li Wan made up his mind and looked at Wang Manqing.
"Manqing, I came today mainly to tell you one thing, about your grandfather's ......"
The sudden news made Wang Manqing's eyes widen, she was overjoyed, and before the smile on her face could be stretched, she heard Li Guan say gloomily: "Your grandfather is ...... He has passed away. ”
Wang Manqing's expression froze instantly, and it took a while to react, looking at Li Guan in disbelief.
Li Guan lowered his eyes in pain and said softly: "It's true, the Qiao family has been mourned." ”
"What...... When? ”
"A month ago."
Wang Manqing couldn't control it anymore and sobbed in a low voice.
Because of the death of Mrs. Qiao, Wang Manqing was sad for several days, during which Li Wan went to see her again, and she was so sad that she couldn't lift her spirits.
After Li Wan came back, he thought that if she continued to be so bored, she would have to get sick, so the next afternoon, she asked Chu Fang to go to Jinxiang Houfu and invited her to go to the mountain villa outside the city to soak in hot springs.
It was just getting dark, and Chu Fang came back.
Li Guan was casually drawing a picture of the snow scene, leaving only the crane in the house to wait, under the dim light, Li Guan's figure was thin and lonely.
Chu Fang couldn't help but feel sad when she saw it, and stood quietly at the door for a while, before taking a deep breath and walking in with a smile.
"Miss, the slave is back!"
Hearing her voice, Li Guan raised his head and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, is Manqing willing to go to the hot springs?" ”
"Miss Sixth didn't say she didn't want to go, but she plans to go to Deyun Temple tomorrow to incense Old Lady Qiao, I'm afraid she won't be available!"
Li Wan laughed when he heard this, and his pale face was also a little flushed, and said: "What does it matter, I just want to accompany her out to relax, not to go to the hot springs, it's not bad to go to the temple to worship." She said and hurriedly instructed Zhu Fang, "You let people say it again, and I'll go to that temple with her tomorrow!" ”
"It's Deyun Temple!" She smiled and turned to go out.
Li Wan leaned on the bolster, and said with a smile: "What kind of temple does he care!" ”
As soon as the sky turned white, Li Wan woke up, and she casually put on a dress and got off the bed.
When you open the window, the cold air greets you, and you can see the snow.
It was Xun Fang who was on duty last night, and when she heard the movement, she pushed the door and entered, and saw Li Wan standing in front of the window blowing the wind, so she hurriedly took the crane on the hanger and wrapped the person tightly.
"Miss, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
"No, I'm not sleepy."
Xun Fang didn't dare to force her, so she smiled and said: "It's okay, aren't you going to Deyun Temple today, it snowed all night yesterday, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk on the road, so I will go out early later, so as not to delay the road and make Miss Six wait for a long time." ”
"Hmm." Li Guan smiled faintly.
After freshening up, he simply had breakfast, and Li Wan went out with Hewang.
Deyun Temple is on the outskirts of Beijing, and it used to take about an hour.
At the foot of the mountain, the coachman drove the carriage around the back mountain.
Deyun Temple has always been full of incense, Wang Manqing didn't want to attract attention, and made an appointment with Li Guan to enter from the back mountain.
The carriage went up along the smooth mountain road, and from time to time there were little novices on the road who were sweeping the snow with a broom, and when they saw Li Guan's frame, they hurriedly retreated to the side of the road and saluted silently.
When he arrived at the back gate of Deyun Temple, because Wang Manqing had not yet arrived, Hewang helped Li Wan to sit in a small pavilion not far away.
The wind on the mountain was a little strong, and Li Guan couldn't help coughing twice.
"Miss, it's not cold, why don't we go in and wait, Miss Six estimates that it will take half an hour to arrive."
"It's okay, it's good here, you know I don't like the smell of incense."
Hewang had no choice but to give up, squatted down to help her straighten her skirt, and when she stood up, she saw Li Guan's side face in a daze, her chin was pointed, and there was no blood on her lips.
The young lady was in a daze again, and Crane Wang sighed secretly, and his eyes fell on the mountain road they had just come up.
"Hey, isn't that Miss Six?"
Li Wan came back to his senses and said busily: "Where? ”
Crane Wang hurriedly pointed it out to her.
The snow on the mountain road had been cleared, and two young men and women walked side by side up the mountain, followed by a carriage and a few maids.
Although it was still far away, Li Guan still recognized the girl at a glance as Wang Manqing.
Hewang glanced at her and said, "I didn't expect Jinxianghou to come too." ”
Li Wan smiled coldly, "Such a good opportunity, of course he has to rush to offer his courtesy, otherwise people's hearts are so easy to deceive?" ”
Hewang thought for a moment and asked, "Look at this, Miss Six is still in the dark, when are you going to tell her?" ”
"After a while." Li Wan was silent for a moment, "For her, Ge Yi is the straw that saves her life, although I am good with her, after all, I did not stay by her side when she was most desperate." And there are some things I can't tell her, and she won't necessarily believe them. ”
Hewang knew what she meant, if Miss wanted to find out Ge Yi's ulterior motives to Miss Six, she would have to have an exact reason, but Miss couldn't tell her directly that the reason why Ge Yi took her in and pretended to be affectionate was to force Miss to do things for him.
What is the ability of the young lady to make Ge Yi use this method to force her to do things for him?
It's too deep to say, and I can't say it.
"When there is news from Qiao's family, I will find a way to persuade her to go to Ningbo. Far away, some things will naturally break. ”
Hewang hesitated and said, "That Jin Xiang waits...... Will it let go? ”
Li Guan snorted lightly: "This can't help him!" ”
