CHAPTER XIII

On this day, Zhou Jin came back very early, Xie Yiying was crooked on the chaise longue couch to learn embroidery with Qingmei, as a scarf that has been woven for four years and only woven into the size of a mask and knitted from eight to ten needles can not be dismantled Modern hand-left, embroidery is really worth pondering for her.

She doesn't know what is wrong needle embroidery, what is random needle embroidery, what is flat gold, what is shadow gold, what is sprinkling thread and what is picking flowers.

Qingmei tongue is lotus, she looks confused.

"Madam, you've learned this before." "It's so hard I forgot." Xie Yiying's resignation was calm and composed.

She thinks that her aesthetics are very good, but the stitching is really a little worse.

…… Maybe more than a little, I hope diligence can make up for it.

When Xie Yiying heard the report, he almost pierced his finger with a crooked needle, and died before he could leave the school, so he shook his hand with his teeth and told Qingmei to go down to the kitchen first to prepare food.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Xie Yiying put the needle and thread in his hand casually on the table, got up and took out his homely clothes from the cabinet and gave them to him.

Xie Yiying did not have the initiative to serve him to change clothes, and Zhou Jin had the consciousness to serve himself.

He took off his green coat and put it on a chair on the side, and replied to her, "I'm going to Luocun tomorrow." ”

Luo? Xie Yiying thought about it, oh, that small village not far from the capital.

"What's wrong?"

"Officials reported an outbreak there, and now more than a dozen people are showing symptoms. My father ordered me to check it out. ”

"What's the use of you going, you're not a doctor." Xie Yiying was a little unhappy, and her tone was also complaining.

In the epidemic, "I don't know the need for medical treatment, the epidemic" says: "This disease is caused by feeling unhealthy qi, or headache, fever, or neck swelling, and hair, this is also the epidemic in the sky." If a person's illness infects a room, the disease of a room infects a township or a town. ”

Complaining is complaining, Xie Yiying scratched his sideburns and recalled what modern knowledge there is about this.

After thinking about it for a long time, I only knew that it was an acute epidemic transfection disease. Well, if only Ye Han were here, Ye Han must know what is going on, he will definitely be able to come up with a solution to the epidemic, and he will definitely be able to pull those who are sick back from the brink of death.

When there was no Ye Han by her side just now, it took her a long time to get used to it.

Zhou Jin saw her sad face, and gently patted her head to signal her to rest assured, but she didn't say much.

Xie Yiying was still worried, she didn't know how to stop the spread of the disease, but she thought that in terms of internal factors, people with strong bodies must be more physically resistant to the virus, so she concentrated on assessing Zhou Jin's health status.

Zhou Jin didn't know anything about this, but felt that Xie Yiying was much quieter than usual during dinner tonight.

So worry about me?

opened his mouth to comfort her, but Xie Yiying suddenly spoke: "Zhou Jin, that ......"

"Huh?"

"Do you have any," Xie Yiying asked slowly and tentatively, "What are you going to do with a side princess?" ”

…… Aren't you worried about me?

In fact, I thought about a certain aspect of my body function from my physical health, and then I thought about this morning's events.

"Nope." Zhou Jin replied very calmly.

"The pretty one?"

Zhou Jin looked at her clear and moist eyes without hesitation: "Don't either." ”

"Oh." Xie Yiying narrowed her eyes and laughed dryly twice as if she was a little embarrassed, and then stopped talking.

After she lowered her head, Zhou Jin still looked at her, he thought, she probably didn't notice the difference between a real smile and a fake smile, when she laughed sincerely, the tail of her eyes would bend out thin folds, and there seemed to be light in her eyes, and that happy look was like a spring flower, as if the blooming of this flower would drive the breath of the whole spring.

He had never seen anyone who was involuntarily amused by her laughter, as if that smile could empathize.

I want to tell her not to be afraid, but I can't tell her the truth.

The next morning, Xie Yiying tried to get up early, before dawn, Zhou Jin was wearing a coat and heard movement on the bed, and when she turned around, she saw her rubbing her eyes and sitting on the bed.

"What are you up for? It's still early, you can sleep a little longer. ”

Xie Yiying's voice was particularly sleepy, soft and glutinous, "I'll send you." ”

Then he struggled to get up and checked the luggage he had packed for him last night.

Zhou Jin had breakfast, and she sat opposite with her head propped up and looked at him quietly.

Until Zhou Jin got up to leave, she sighed and hugged him across the table: "You must come back safely." ”

Her arms carry the warm and sweet smell of a girl.

When Zhou Jin didn't leave, even if he wasn't at home most of the day, he wouldn't feel empty, but as soon as Zhou Jin left, the whole house seemed to be a little too quiet.

Ah, I, Xie Yiying sighed while continuing to embroider, what an empty nest wife for her husband on a business trip.

But life didn't give the empty nest wife much free time to reminisce about life.

The next day, she received an invitation from the third imperial concubine.

"Why is it her again, can I not go!"

Luluo's little face was dumbfounded, and she looked at Mrs. who was wrinkled with melancholy features, and asked her in a small voice: "Madam, who are you asking?" ”

"I ask about life."

In the end, she still wore a set of jade-colored dresses, simply wearing a mutton fat hosta, which seemed delicate and bright to outsiders, and her self-evaluation was weak and deceitful.

Never steal the limelight of the host in terms of dress, and go to the banquet with a single knife to give face.

There are not many people invited by the three imperial concubines, probably according to their grades, and most of them are seen at the last palace banquet.

So they all chatted very well.

Girls chatting are nothing more than complimenting you on your bag, asking you about your perfume, and then making an appointment to watch the latest movie together on the weekend. Well, the last one can't be done now, but there are its kind.

Xie Yiying lowered her head and drank tea, while listening to the princess of the county talk about a new troupe in the capital.

At this time, she heard the third imperial concubine call her.

She looked up and saw people smiling at her.

My heart trembled.

Sister, what are you going to do again???

The third imperial concubine wore a magenta dress today, and the gold hairpin was inlaid with jade jewelry, and the end was dazzling.

Looking at Xie Yiying at this moment, his face was also radiant.

"I'm talking about the last Mid-Autumn Festival, my brother and sister's song. I wonder if I have enough face today to let you play another song for us? ”

…… You really don't have enough.

Xie Yiying always had a smile on her face, and she always had a slightly shy look when she smiled.

"Sister-in-law, I've decided not to play the guqin anymore."

"Oh, why?"

"It started with a dream I had a few days ago."

What a dream, it's obviously a prevarication. The third imperial concubine pursed the corners of her lips, and then asked, "That's interesting, what kind of dream is it, let's hear it." ”

"This dream is very interesting." Xie Yiying took a sip of tea, then put the teacup on the table and sat up straight, looking quite formal. "It is said that Nuwa refined 36,500 stones to make up for the sky, but only used 36,500 pieces, and the remaining one was unused and discarded under the Qinggang Peak. There is only one stone left to feel sorry for oneself and be sad day and night. ”

Before she finished speaking, the princess of the county on the side suddenly laughed, and pulled her sleeve while laughing: "Oh, speaking of stones, the story of the monkey you told last time hasn't been finished yet, don't tell any new things, let's continue the story last time!" ”

Hearing this, several people next to her also laughed and asked her to tell the story first. Xie Yiying only occasionally talks about it at the party, and every time she stops, it is very exciting, so that they always want to continue listening. The story of Journey to the West is suitable for all ages, and during this period of time, the old girls in the capital have not slept well because of a story.

Xie Yiying naturally deviated from the conversation: "Look at you people, all of a sudden you are like young children, where did I talk about it last time?" ”

"Speaking of Taishang Laojun, he put that monkey in the gossip furnace for exercise!"
