Eighty. Rouge Book
The light thunder of light summer came from far away from the sky, and the twilight of the sky passed through the prismatic window, and the room was a little dark and hot. Qin Nanxi raised his wrist and put down the pen, staring down at the scriptures that had just been copied on the table, and let his heart flow silently.
"Miss" Mama Cheng approached with the water in her hand and called her softly.
"Mama, is there anything to be delivered from the village today? Who sent it? Qin Nanxi turned around, and asked softly while holding his hands. Two days have passed, and no new information has come, she is calm on the surface, but her secret anxiety is becoming more and more turbulent, she is waiting for Xiaofei to come, waiting for her to bring news from Situ Yi.
Mama Cheng put down the copper basin, handed over a clean Supa, and replied in a low voice: "In the past two days, the village has not sent melons and fruits, and I have not seen anyone come into the house. ”
"In the past, fresh vegetables and fruits from the village were delivered every day during the summer time, but now that my father is sick and has to eat a light diet, they are too lazy to send fresh vegetables and fruits! You go and ask your sister-in-law, what's going on with the lady in charge of this village, she will be more and more on an errand! Qin Nanxi dropped the veil and was annoyed for a rare time.
Mama Cheng raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, so she had to retreat.
Qin Nanxi sat alone in the room for a while, feeling more and more uncertain, so she simply lifted her skirt and went down the boudoir and went to the garden.
In the garden of Qinfu, more sycamores are planted, now the leaves of the broad lang are also more and more stretched in the summer, several tall sycamores along the pondside, the trees are sprinkled with a cluster of dark shade, the leaf gaps pass through a few lines of twilight, condensed into scattered points of light, sprinkled in the thick black shade under the tree, black and white are distinct, mottled very good-looking. In the distance, you can still see the guards standing quietly at the door of Daddy's room. Although most of these guards were removed, the part that remained was very cautious, rotating day and night, and there was never a moment of relaxation.
Qin Nanxi sighed quietly, turned around and walked towards the depths of the garden, and was slowly walking shallow, only to hear a rush of footsteps coming towards him behind him.
"Nanxi!" It's my sister-in-law's voice. Qin Nanxi stopped in amazement and turned to greet him.
In the shallow crimson twilight, Xiao Luomei, who was alone, greeted her, wearing a red dress reflecting the glow behind her, as if she was coming from the far edge of the sky. Qin Nanxi looked at her face in the crimson light, and suddenly felt that her expression was a stranger she had never seen before.
"Nanxi! Come back to my room with me, sister-in-law has something to discuss with you! Xiao Luomei greeted her, took Qin Nanxi's hand without saying anything, turned around and dragged her back to the direction of the boudoir.
Qin Nanxi saw her solemn expression, raised her eyes and forgot to glance at the guards in the distance, so she obediently followed behind her and returned to the room. The two entered the door, Xiao Luomei leaned behind her, and closed the door with both hands. Turning to Qin Nanxi, he took out a small lacquer box from his sleeve and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Qin Nanxi took it suspiciously, looked down at the small lacquer box in his hand, and felt very familiar. The small lacquer box is very delicate, only half the size of a palm, and the black lacquer background is depicted with fine entwined lotus flowers, the lacquer light is uniform and bright, and the pattern is delicate and soft.
"I just sent it from a big man with a big brain, and I want to send it to you by name! I didn't dare to let him in, so I intercepted him. ”
"Big-headed brains?" Qin Nanxi pinched the small box, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood that the person who came was Mo Dan, and this box was the one he wanted to give to Xiao Fei that day but Xiao Fei didn't accept it.
"What did he say?" Clenching the small box in his palm, Qin Nanxi grabbed Xiao Luomei's arm and asked very anxiously.
Xiao Luomei's expression froze for a short moment before she shook her head and said, "That big man only said that this is your thing, let me transfer it to you." After saying that, he turned around and left, and I didn't even have time to ask him his honorable name. Nanxi, that person, should be someone under the eldest cousin, right? ”
Qin Nanxi listened, didn't speak, only lowered his head and picked up the small lacquer box that had been opened, and pondered the delicate and soft red rouge in the box for a long time. She didn't understand why Situ Yi sent Mo Dan to send a box of rouge to herself at this time.
Xiao Luomei probed curiously, looked at the small box in her palm for a long time, and became puzzled: "The eldest cousin sent someone to deliver something, there should be a letter to hand to you, but this, this box of rouge looks very ordinary." The big man handed the box to me, and I brought it to you, and I have never passed the hand of others, so there is no possibility of being replaced! ”
Qin Nanxi listened, still noncommittal, just holding the small box and pondering. Xiao Luomei is right, at this time, Situ Yi sent someone to send this small box, there must be something in it, but why is it just an ordinary box of rouge?
"Let me see" Xiao Luomei reached over and took the small box in her hand, held it in her hand and looked at it over and over again, twisting her eyebrows slightly, thinking carefully about the small lacquer box.
"Nanxi, look!" Xiao Luomei's voice suddenly raised her voice.
Qin Nanxi probed over, only to see that her onion-like nails were stained with rouge, which was inserted in the gap of the lid at this time, and a thin piece of wood inside the lid was slightly warped, and a trace of white silk was revealed at the edge.
"This is a mezzanine!" Xiao Luomei smiled, her slender nails couldn't be pried open for a long time, so she had to hand the small box back to Qin Nanxi. He sat on one side and popped out the blood-like rouge between his fingernails.
Qin Nanxi looked at the lid of the box and raised his hand to pull a hairpin from the bun. The tip of the slender and sharp hairpin poked into the edge of the wood chip, and with a light part, the small thin piece of wood instantly bounced away, and a very thin silk book leaked out.
"If this box can be handed to you, you will naturally study it carefully, if it can't reach your hand, it will only be an ordinary box of rouge! The eldest cousin's mind is really delicate! In the past, they said that he had a ghost idea, and I didn't believe it at most, but now it seems that he really deserves his name! Xiao Luomei glanced at the silk book in Qin Nanxi's hand, and said with a smile, her tone was brisk, and she couldn't find a trace of gloom and worry for days.
Qin Nanxi only hooked the corners of his lips and shook off the thin silk. On the snow-white silk, stained with some crimson rouge, red and white, eye-catching as if it was blood sprinkled on the snow, Situ Yi's handwriting was extremely light, but the dashing and handsome line of thin silk densely covered with grass, Qin Nanxi could recognize it at a glance, this was indeed his handwriting. Holding her breath, she read it word by word.
"What did the eldest cousin say?" Xiao Luomei asked tentatively on the side.
Qin Nanxi listened to the question, turned his body slightly away to Xiao Luomei, and the thin silk in his hand was also pinched into a ball and clenched in the palm of his hand, before he raised his head to meet Xiao Luomei and said: "Brother Yi, he said that he will leave Chang'an soon, let us take good care of ourselves and wait for him to come back." ”
"Great! As long as the eldest cousin leaves safely, we will have hope here! Xiao Luomei's eyes were full of surprise and relief, and her hands clasped together trembled slightly with excitement.
Qin Nanxi lowered her head and thought carefully, in Situ Yi's letter, he actually mentioned that he wanted to see her before leaving, just because he told her to keep it secret. That's why she held the letter tightly in her hand and didn't let Xiao Luomei see a word. I don't know why, she pinched the thin silk book, but her heart was inexplicably heavy, and a trace of hesitation always lingered in her mind. After the accident in Chang'an, Situ Yi's only letter was handed over by Xiaofei. This time, under the limelight, how could he take the risk of sending Mo Dan to Qin Mansion? Is this really his style? But after thinking about it, Mo Dan is indeed the person he trusts the most, and it is better for him to send it directly to the door of the mansion than to change hands several times, and he also deliberately used this small lacquer box that several of them recognized to deliver the news, Qin Nanxi stared at the small box in his hand, bit the corner of his lip, forced the hesitation in his heart, and secretly wondered how to go to his parting appointment.
