Chapter 124: Rendezvous
Qiao'er screamed twice outside the door and didn't see any reaction from Ling'er, and was about to rush in in a hurry, as soon as her hand touched the door, she heard Ling'er ask inside:
"What's the matter?" Qiao'er, who heard the voice, hurriedly stabilized her figure and said:
"Miss Min asked her to go to her room, and she said she would wait until you went." Qiao'er stopped speaking when she brought Min'er's words, and the older the girl was, the less she liked to be served by her side, so most of the time she waited outside the door.
"Okay, I'll go." Ling'er put the letter in the drawer, planning to look at it when she came back, I don't know why Ling'er just didn't want to show a trace of expectation for this letter.
"Sister, do you have something to do with me?" Ling'er saw Min'er sitting in the room with a serious face, and hurriedly filtered her recent performance in the sea of heads, and didn't find anything wrong?
"Hmph, do you know you have a sister?" Min'er saw that Ling'er didn't understand what she was calling her over for, so she didn't get angry.
"Sister, what are you talking about, I just forgot myself and I can't forget my sister." Ling'er immediately ran to hug Min'er's arm like a dog, thinking that she would have to dodge again, but she didn't expect that she didn't hide this time.
"In a few days, the two brothers of the Guan family will go to study in the house, didn't you say that you want to practice it for them?" Min'er was really made lose her temper by her, this Ling'er is too focused on doing things, where can her body stand it if she goes on like this? Wait for the liquor shop to open and see how she settles accounts with that stinky cousin.
"Huh? So fast? Didn't you say that you left in a month? Ling'er suddenly remembered that those two little brothers passed the county exam today. I will take the government examination in the spring of next year. In order to let them learn better, Ling'er contacted Fuxue, and Grandpa Guan was moved to tears because of this.
"You. It's been a busy day, right? There are only five days left. Min'er knew that she must have forgotten, or she wouldn't have called her over, thanks to the brothers who are also very busy these days, or that Kira kid would have to be disappointed and cry.
"Time is really merciless, sister, is this okay? Three days later, when the winery was finished, how about we all go there as a family and have a bonfire? Ling'er thinks that this kind of weather is the most suitable for a bonfire party.
"What is a bonfire?" As soon as Min'er heard that it was a new term, she immediately came to her senses. Every time Ling'er utters a new term, it means something new and strange.
"Hehe, this, you'll know when the time comes." Ling'er left Min'er, who was full of black lines, and went back to the study to read the letter. Don't know what's written in it?
Since early in the morning, Ling'er felt that time passed very slowly, Qiao'er looked at Ling'er who was frequently watching the time, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Girl, are you in a hurry? Don't worry, I'll comb it for you quickly. ”
"Who said I was in a hurry. It's okay, you just comb it normally. Don't, I haven't walked out the door yet, but my hair is falling out. Only then did Ling'er realize that she seemed to be looking forward to it too much, this was not a good sign, especially since her "Fang Ling" was only thirteen years old.
"I see that you always pay attention to the hour and think that you have arranged something urgent today, then girl, I will comb your hair today, I learned it yesterday." Qiao'er went to buy color threads yesterday when she learned the new hairstyle with people, and I heard that it is the most popular in Beijing.
"No need, just comb it simply, it's too much for me to go out at noon." Ling'er didn't want that guy to think that she was deliberately dressing up to see him.
"Girl. Will you take me at noon? It's no wonder that Qiao'er asked like this, the girl has become less and less fond of taking her in the past two years.
"How do you want to go?" Ling'er didn't have any thoughts about Qiao'er. It's not used to taking a girl with me everywhere I go.
"Girl, did Qiao'er do something wrong? In the past two years, the girl has hardly taken me out when she goes out. Qiao'er thinks it's better to ask clearly.
"What's the matter, I haven't gone out much in the past two years, even when I go out, I go to the construction site......" Ling'er said and then realized that she was originally thinking about Qiao'er, but it caused her trouble, it seems that she is really a little self-righteous.
"Qiao'er, you are the closest girl by my side, although it is nominally a master-servant relationship, but in my heart I have always regarded you as a sister. I thought it was wrong before, but I'll pay attention to it later, can you comb my hair now? Ling'er's words made Qiao'er immediately smile.
Although the area of Fengtai County is not as large as that of Pingyi County, it is relatively densely populated and can be regarded as a large county. Since settling here, Ling'er has hardly come back to this commercial street, and if there is anything needed, he will send people to buy, and today he feels like a world away from home when he walks into this bustling street.
"Girl, there's the HSBC Building ahead." Qiao'er didn't know why Ling'er got off the bus at the street corner, and the carriage could have stopped in front of the HSBC building. But she won't ask, she is very happy when the girl takes her out, what is it to take a few more steps? The girl is not tired.
When the two came to the door of the HSBC Building, a shopkeeper ran to them and saluted:
"Is it Miss Zhao?"
"Exactly." Qiao'er replied.
"Ma Gongzi has been waiting for a long time, please come with the little one." The shopkeeper led the way in front, and Ling'er's master and servant followed him to the private room not far away.
As soon as Ling'er entered the door, he saw Sima Chen sitting on the main seat, he has not changed much in the past few years, but he has become more mature. Sitting beside him were Qianli and a man he didn't know, and Ling'er saluted them but didn't speak.
"Miss Ling, don't come unharmed, everyone is not an outsider, why are you so polite, please take a seat." Qianli saw Ling'er's master and servant come in, and hurriedly got up to greet him, but although Ling'er did not respond to his enthusiasm, he also sat down according to his words.
"Miss Ling, long time no see." Sima Chen spoke.
"A few years is not too long." Ling'er replied casually, she didn't believe that Sima Chen only came to her to catch up on the past.
"Miss Ling, this is Fengtai County and Ma Taiyang, Ma County. Taiyang, this is the amazing Zhao Ling'er Zhao girl we told you about. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little indescribably weird, Chili was busy introducing the new members.
"The little girl has seen the county lord." Ling'er didn't expect that it was actually Fengtai's county Cheng sitting here, no matter what Sima Chen's purpose was, it was not a small gain to know the county Cheng of a county. Although there is no grade in this county, as the saying goes, a good county can be the home of the county order. The county order of the iron county is not like the county order that changes places every three years, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.
"Miss Zhao is polite, I have heard about the girl's deeds for a long time." Although Ma Taiyang is not Sima Chen's person, his own master is tightly clinging to others, if he can do something for this Zhao girl, he can be regarded as gaining face in front of Sima Chen.
"The adult is serious, the little girl has not yet reached the end of the year, how can there be any so-called deeds to speak of?" Ling'er said modestly.
"Everyone is your own person, so you don't need to be polite, Miss Ling, although we didn't come to visit you this time, but because you are here, we will personally run this trip." Qianli's words made Ling'er look at Sima Chen, who was sitting on the upper seat as if watching a play, and saw that he had no intention of speaking at all, so he had to follow Qianli's words.
"Oh, that little girl can have a cup of tea instead of wine." As he spoke, he raised his teacup and drank it down.
"Miss Ling, you're wrong, who doesn't know that your house is out of wine." Qianli deliberately didn't finish his words, he didn't really want Ling'er to drink, but wanted to force Sima Chen, who was sitting on the upper seat and pretending to be a wolf with a big tail, to speak. Sure enough, his words attracted his sideways glances, and before Ling'er could speak, he spoke:
"What kind of wine do thirteen-year-olds drink? It's really a mess. Ling'er almost laughed out loud when she heard it, she couldn't imagine that this guy could be thousands of miles away.
"People are only thirteen years old......" Qian Li repeated meaningfully, but it turned out that Sima Chen stood up and said to Ma Taiyang:
"Brother Ma, I really have something important to discuss with Miss Zhao, let Qianli accompany you to drink a thousand cups, and I will say goodbye to Miss Zhao first. The next time I go to the capital, I will punish myself with three cups, and I ask Brother Ma for forgiveness. Ma Taiyang immediately got up and said continuously:
"Childe's words are serious, naturally Childe's important matter is urgent, and I also invite Childe and Miss Zhao to take care of themselves, it is a blessing to have a thousand sons to accompany him." Hope is his word, and the word is used at this moment to show closeness.
"Qianli, you must accompany Brother Ma, if Brother Ma is the slightest dissatisfied, then you don't have to go back to Beijing." Without waiting for Qianli to answer, he took Ling'er's hand and strode out of the private room.
It wasn't until he got out of the gate and got into the carriage that Ling'er realized that he had just been trivialized, did he have to do something by the standards of this era? For example, a quick shake off? This doesn't work, and now people have long since loosened it. Shouldn't that be blushing? It's not too difficult, and I can't control the blood upwelling. Shouldn't he be scolded for that? But isn't it too late to scold now?
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, I have more important things to say." Although Sima Chen didn't know what she was thinking, he intuitively thought that it shouldn't be a big deal.
"You mean to say that I was invited out just to talk about things in the carriage?" Ling'er is really a little angry, the eldest brother hasn't had lunch yet, so let her listen to him on an empty stomach?
"You'll be satisfied in a while, so bear with me now." Her expression clearly said that I was hungry, and that I would be furious if you didn't give me food.
"Hopefully." Seeing his mysterious appearance, Ling'er was a little uncomfortable for a while, is this person in front of her the Sima Chen who is not good at words? At this moment, his expression is no longer blindly indifferent, although there is no smile, it gives people a sense of calm, not as oppressive as before. Although Ling'er didn't admit it, she knew very well in her heart what kind of existence he was to her, but there seemed to be thousands of mountains and rivers between them, and it was better to never start than to be sad.
