Chapter 53: Green Chrysanthemum
Lin Qing felt that he must be crazy.
Since he met Jiang Shao yesterday but was treated as a stranger by him, Lin Qing tossed and turned in bed and stayed awake all night. She had both doubts and resentments in her heart, she couldn't understand why Jiang Shao treated her like this, and even complained that Jiang Shao didn't put her in her eyes.
Looking at his haggard face in the bronze mirror, Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh again and again. That man was just a guard with a good skin, and he really didn't deserve to miss him like that! She comforted herself like this, but gradually she didn't mind it so much.
Originally, Lin Qing was still worried about how her 'respectable face' would be so good, but fortunately, there was still rouge gouache in Wangfang Pavilion, and she applied a thin layer on her face, and her complexion looked much better.
"Sister Qing'er, let me tell you, the people in the nursery have cultivated green chrysanthemums! It's a green chrysanthemum, but it's hard to see, so let's go and see it later. An'er said with a smile, looking hard to hide her expectation.
Lin Qing, who heard the word green chrysanthemum, was stunned. When he was in Muhe Town, because he dreamed that two little girls were looking for green chrysanthemums, they were kidnapped by Jiang Shangui and almost sold, and Lin Qing still remembers it vividly. At that time, she thought that her memories were related to green chrysanthemum, and this would be the same.
Lin Qing knew that An'er was well-informed, so he didn't doubt the authenticity of the news, so he nodded and said, "Green Ju? It sounds so fresh, let me change my clothes and go with you to the nursery. β
To do things in the flower room, it is inevitable to come into contact with all kinds of flowers and plants. However, flowers such as green chrysanthemums do not grow naturally, and they must be cultivated by the nursery to obtain them, and the survival rate is very low. Therefore, green chrysanthemum is extremely precious and rare for ordinary people to see.
"Sister Qing'er, this is the nursery room." An'er happily led the way in front, but frowned when she arrived at the nursery room. "Why are there so many people all of a sudden? All of them are fierce and vicious, how can we go in and see the flowers? An'er pouted and complained.
Looking at the nursery room that was tightly surrounded by guards, Lin Qing smiled instead. She walked unhurriedly to the guard standing in front of the door of the nursery room, and said sweetly: "Brother guard, we are sent by Aunt Fang in the courtyard of the flower room to take care of the flowers. Please also ask the eldest brother to make it convenient for the two of us to go in, the flowers are delicate, but I can't afford to wait. β
The guard turned his head expressionlessly to glance at Lin Qing and An'er, and then turned his head back expressionlessly.
Wen Yan and soft words didn't work, Lin Qing had to change to a cold and tough tone: "I won't tell you, we are here to take care of the green chrysanthemum, if we don't let us in at this time, if something goes wrong, you and I can't take responsibility!" β
"You girl, am I scared?" The guard said coldly.
Lin Qing didn't expect this guard to be soft and hard, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know how to move.
"Let her in." From the nursery room, a male voice that Lin Qing was very familiar with came from.
The guards glanced at Lin Qing and An'er again, and reluctantly let the two in.
As soon as he heard the voice, Lin Qing knew that the person was Jiang Shao. She almost forgot that Jiang Shao was Lu Chengxuan's personal guard, and his status in the Three Kings' Mansion was not low, and it was normal for the guards to listen to him. But what she didn't expect was that Jiang Shao would suddenly speak, he must have heard his voice, why was he still cold to her yesterday but willing to help her today? This man's mind must have changed too quickly!
As soon as he entered the nursery room, Lin Qing's eyes were immediately attracted by two figures, one white and one black.
Lu Chengxuan, who was dressed in white, didn't know what he saw, so he was in a happy mood, with a warm smile on his face. On the contrary to him, Jiang Shao, who was dressed in black, was like frost at this time, and he felt a chill in people's hearts.
"Slave Qing'er see the prince." Lin Qing walked up to Lu Chengxuan and bowed.
An'er, who was following behind Lin Qing, looked a little uncomfortable, but she also bowed to Lu Chengxuan in a proper manner.
Lu Chengxuan gave a faint sigh of gratitude, and his eyes did not move a bit. Lin Qing looked in the direction where Lu Chengxuan's gaze was, and found that a green chrysanthemum was blooming quietly.
Isn't this the green chrysanthemum that I can't find? Lin Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes and wanted to look at Lu Ju more closely, this was something about her memory, she couldn't ignore it no matter what!
But even though Lin Qingjiang's eyes were wide open, and even sour tears, he didn't see the information about the part of his lost memory in his mind. Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh, he should have known a long time ago, how could his memory be so easy to recover, how could he get what he wanted because of a small flower? After all, she was too naΓ―ve!
Lin Qing didn't know that when she sighed helplessly, Lu Chengxuan and Jiang Shao's eyes all fell on her.
Jiang Shao only glanced at her slightly, as if he was inadvertently and deliberately avoided, but Lu Chengxuan's gaze was fixed on a certain place on Lin Qing's body and never moved away.
Is it another hallucination? Lu Chengxuan suddenly felt that the tip of his nose was sour, and there was an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart. Yesterday he woke up inexplicably in the firewood room, there was no one around, but he grabbed a rag in his hand, called Fubo and the people in the sewing room to inquire, but did not get useful news, never thought that today he would find the owner of the rag in the nursery room!
Although it was a little far away from Lin Qing, Lu Chengxuan was still sure that the rag came from Lin Qing. Looking at it from Lu Chengxuan's point of view, it happened to be that Lin Qing's cloth skirt was missing, and the missing part was no different from that rag in terms of size and shape!
"Lin Qing." Lu Chengxuan's thin lips opened lightly, and his tone was moist.
Lin Qing was slightly stunned when she heard someone call her name, but in the next second, she had already hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "The slave is here." β
Lu Chengxuan's gaze moved from Lin Qing's skirt to her face, not letting go of the slightest change in Lin Qing's expression. He has always been proud of countless people, and he knows people very accurately, and he can see what they think in their hearts from the expressions of others, so he is very concerned about whether there will be an unnatural expression on Lin Qing's face.
However, Lin Qing only smiled lightly, and his face did not show any uneasiness and panic.
Lu Chengxuan also had no intention of appreciating chrysanthemums at this time, so he called the attendants around him and hurriedly left the nursery room. Lin Qing still stood calmly in place, but she was keenly aware that Jiang Shao had taken a deep look at her as he passed by. The look in his eyes seemed to say, "You'd better keep to yourself!" β
But Lin Qing didn't care, although he didn't recover any memory today, he finally achieved his goal.
At the same time that Lin Qing learned from An Er's mouth that the green chrysanthemum was blooming, he also guessed that Lu Chengxuan and Jiang Shao would go to the nursery room to watch the chrysanthemum at the invitation of the flower room manager. deliberately went back to the room to change the skirt that was missing, just to quietly attract Lu Chengxuan's attention when he saw Lu Chengxuan.
Fortunately, she really met Lu Chengxuan and successfully attracted his attention.
Things were developing according to Lin Qing's plan, but she felt that she was not as happy as she imagined.
