Chapter 20: A Thought
After dinner, Zero Tears was slightly drunk and helped out by Jian Chun, Hongli insisted on sending her back uneasily, and asked Qilan to go back to the Lotus Pavilion first. Qi Lan didn't say much, only thoughtfully told him, "The night is more dewy, the ground is inevitably slippery, you have zero tears, don't fall." ”
Hongli nodded, changed Jian Chun, and let Zero Tears lean on himself, Jian Chun led the way with a lantern in front, and he carefully helped her out of the palace gate of Heaven and Earth Family Chun in the back. Qi Lan looked at the two figures snuggling up to each other reflected in the small cluster of dim light, and gradually walked away, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this was the first time she had seen him take such good care of a woman. There was a trace of sourness in her heart, but she was quickly relieved, he must have many women in the future, if she didn't relax her mind, I am afraid she would not be able to continue to live in this garden.
The evening breeze blew the cloak of zero tears, and Hongli hugged her tightly, for fear that she would be sick again by the wind. She was uncomfortable by his handcuffs, twisted her body, and said drunkly, "Xiao Hengzi, you hugged me too tightly, don't worry, I won't run, I won't go anywhere, I will lean on your arms like this, and I will never leave." ”
He was stunned suddenly, there was a faint disappointment and loneliness in his eyes, the most regrettable thing he did in his life was that he shouldn't have promised to let Fu Heng take her away. His hand couldn't help but hug her harder, his voice was slightly cold, and every word was as clear as broken ice, as if he wanted to pull her out of that dream, "There will be no more Xiao Hengzi, there is only me here, I will always guard you in the future, and I will not let you run away with anyone again." ”
Jian Chun couldn't help but glance back, blinked a few times, and faintly saw through something. Hongli saw her stop suddenly, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jian Chun quickly came back to his senses and replied, "There are a few steps ahead, Fourth Elder Brother, you should pay attention." ”
"Hmm", he nodded, and carefully carried her down the steps, through the corridor, back to the bamboo courtyard.
He carried her back to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and lowered the curtains. Jian Chun and Hua Jian stood beside each other in a sneer, unable to intervene, so they could only glance at each other silently.
"She's drunk, she's definitely dizzy when she gets up tomorrow, you have to prepare honey tea for her in advance", Hongli turned to them after putting the bed curtains and commanded.
The two of them hurriedly nodded. He looked back at it uncomfortably before turning back to his Lotus Pavilion.
Early the next morning, zero tears opened her eyes, sure enough, her head was splitting, Jian Chun served her to get up, and the flower note sent the freshly cooked honey tea, she took a sip, pouted again and again, I really didn't like the taste, but I heard them say that this thing can relieve the hangover, and reluctantly drank a few more sips.
"Gege Ke still remembers how she came back last night" Jian Chun asked tentatively as she combed her hair.
She rubbed her still drowsy head, and vaguely remembered that it seemed to have been brought back. Alas, she originally planned to get Hongli drunk and watch him play drunk and go crazy, but she didn't expect that she fell down first halfway through the fight. She knocked her forehead with remorse, she underestimated the enemy, she should first inquire about the amount of Hongli's alcohol before making a move.
Seeing that she couldn't remember, Jian Chun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the jewelry box with a smile, and changed the topic under the pretext of choosing a hairpin.
Because of the hangover, he only drank a bowl of millet porridge with zero tears in breakfast, and then leaned on the soft couch again, half-asleep and half-awake. In a trance, she heard someone lift the curtain and come in from outside, she lazily raised her eyes and saw Hongli wearing a homely blue satin brocade robe, already standing in front of her. "Why are you here again", she tilted her head slightly, reached out and tapped the dragon jade belt on his waist with her fingertips, and wanted to push him away as if she was annoyed.
He smiled and stayed still, but grabbed her wrist, pulled her, and pulled her into his arms, but it happened that her nose hit his jade belt, "Ouch", she suddenly woke up in pain, looked up at him angrily, "Early in the morning, you started to provoke, right?"
He laughed twice, thinking that he would be able to make such fun with her at any time in the future, and smiled very brightly, "I'm here to teach you my experience, when I usually have a hangover, I go for a walk in the garden and breathe fresh air, and it will be much more comfortable for a while." How about I'll accompany you for a walk. ”
She glanced at him with disgust, "I don't need you to accompany me." By the way, which barracks did you put Fu Heng in, when will I see him?"
His expression was half cold, and he sat down next to her with a faint sigh, and said casually, "What kind of place are you in the barracks, do you want to come and go." I heard that there was a rebellion on the Mongolian Jungar side, maybe he would send it to the front."
"What" she stood up abruptly after hearing this, "There are so many soldiers in the northwest, you need to send him, besides, he has only been learning the skills of fighting for a few days, why should he send a novice to die?"
Hongli's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was enduring and enduring, "As for your big reaction, he asked to go, I don't think he wants to stay in Beijing." ”
"I don't want to stay in Jingli," she slowly sat down again, muttering, "Why are you avoiding me, is he angry with me, yes, it must be, I have to shout to go back to Dengzhou Mansion." Otherwise, we'd already be out to sea by boat. He must blame me for not staying the course."
He finally couldn't listen to it anymore, got up and wanted to leave, but he only took two steps and stopped helplessly, and turned around and said, "Don't worry, Huang Ama will not send him to the front line." General Ning Yuan had already sent people to support, and there was no need to mobilize troops and horses from the capital. ”
Hearing him say this, she breathed a long sigh of relief, just mentioning the Jungger rebellion, she remembered the matter of the Liu family's father and daughter, and she didn't know what the result was, as well as the fourteenth master and Mrs. Chen who were involved. She gestured and tugged at his sleeve, "Don't you want to go with me to the garden, let's go now." ”
He glared at her, only for a moment, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, "I really can't help you, an idea for a while." Let's go," he said, and she followed with a smile on her face.
Although it is already spring, the slightly cold wind is on the skin, and it can still make people shiver. She had come here since she had crossed over, adding to the problem of chills, and even though the sun was shining on her, she still sneezed a few times in a row, and kept her hands in her sleeves.
Seeing this, he took off his sable coat and draped it over her, but she did not refuse, and obediently let him tie the gold and silver buckles on his neck. She looked up at the undissipated scar on his forehead and reached out to caress it, "Does it still hurt now?"
He pulled down her hand and held it in the palm of his hand, smiling gently, "It hurts occasionally, but it's much better", he helped her, and the two walked slowly along the bluestone road between the bamboo forests. At that moment, he suddenly had an impulse, if in the future, when they are all old, they can still help each other like this, that is the happiness that the world often says about white heads to old age. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, the first time he had such a thought, they are not brothers and sisters, even if they are really inseparable from her white head, why not search for "basket color book" in the browser, and you can read it by getting drunk with a new chapter
