Chapter 145: Feeding the Crow [6]
PS: The first ~ second watch is about ten o'clock
What fell into Yuan Rin's hand was a kitten, with black fur, only two points of green eyes shining with extraordinarily good-looking brilliance, facing the steep sun, its dark eyes narrowed suddenly, and it whimpered reluctantly.
Yuan Rin smiled, took off the paw that hooked it on his sleeve, and handed it to Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan looked down at such a palm-sized little thing rubbing into a ball in his hand, and couldn't help but gently caress its slippery fur, it was very soft to start, and it felt good, so he raised his head and smiled, "Are you afraid that I will be bored on the road and give me such trouble?" ”
Although this cat is still small, it should be eaten and slept every day, but after all, this is not at home, is it a bit cumbersome to drag a small animal?
"I want to give you something to relieve your boredom, why is it trouble?" Yuan Rin stretched out his hand and gently flicked the little black cat's paws, making a gesture to hug it back, "If you don't want it, I'll send it to Miss Qi." ”
Zhu Yan hurriedly slapped his hand away, hugged the kitten into his arms, and glanced at him, "Stingy, did I say no?" Seeing him smiling proudly, he also narrowed his eyes and chuckled, sighing as if he was nothing, "As long as you send it, I will take it with me no matter how troublesome it is." ”
She said this very softly, and as soon as the words fell, she turned around and left, Yuan Rin was stunned for a long time, recalled her meaning, looked at her back as she left in a hurry, and picked up her hand with a smile on her face.
Zhu Yan walked into the stove room, Bai Apple was making lunch, and Zhu Qi was sitting on the side, holding her little thin arm and just watching.
"Ah Qi, why don't you help your sister Bai Ping add fire?" Zhu Yan's face sank slightly. But his subordinates did not stop, took a small white porcelain bowl from the side shelf, and filtered out the rice soup into the rest of the porridge in the morning. I mixed some rock candy into it and fed it to the cat in my hand.
"I'm busy all by myself." Bai Apple wiped her sweat and turned her head with a smile, seeing that she was holding a small black hair ball in her hand, she couldn't help but wonder, "The girl picked up a cat again?" This cat's coat is very pure, but it's rare. ”
"It was sent by Xuanqing." Zhu Yan fiddled with the cat's small ears.
The little thing under his hand is licking the sweet rice soup wholeheartedly. Helplessly, her ears were tickled by her, and she tilted her head slightly, rubbing her little paws.
"Ah Qi." Zhu Yan looked at his eye sockets beside him. The little girl who was eager to touch the cat, although she didn't want to disturb her interest, she still called her ruthlessly, "You come with me." ”
Zhu Qi almost touched it. I was taken aback by her call. With a flat mouth, he began to be coquettish, "Sister, I'll go back later." ”
"I'll go to Lingnan tomorrow, how can I wait for you for a while?" Zhu Yan pursed her lips and did not back down.
"Okay, okay......" Zhu Qi was reluctant and followed her into the backyard step by step.
"Ah Qi. Come and sit down. Zhu Yan walked to the ginkgo tree under the porch and sat down on the cold stone bench. A pair of hands rested on the carved stone face.
Zhu Qi blinked her big sly eyes, and couldn't guess what her sister meant, so she had to sit down obediently.
Zhu Yan was not in a hurry to speak, and quietly turned around to make tea, and the crisp sound of a little firewood accompanied by the light fragrance of tea lingered around him.
“…… Sister, am I doing something wrong? Zhu Qi couldn't bear it, her little hands twisted her skirt, and she looked at her bably, but when she reflected, hasn't her life been like this all the time? I've never seen her so strange before......
Zhu Yan still didn't speak, just waited for the water to boil, skillfully filtered the sea of tea, and poured it into the smelling cup.
The hot cup slammed lightly on the stone table, and a little light fresh water spilled on the stone surface.
"I'll come back from Lingnan in two months, and you will go to Beijing with me." Zhu Yan pushed the cup to her, and then sat down with her eyes closed.
"Sister......" Zhu Qi puffed out her cheeks and looked at her puzzled.
"When you return to Beijing, you are also the daughter of the Zhu family, and you can't make a mistake in etiquette." Zhu Yan exhaled deeply, looking at the sky helplessly, she also hoped to see Zhu Qi live happily and carefree, but this would really cause trouble for Yuan Rin, if she didn't take her back to Beijing, she really felt ashamed of Qianyun.
Zhu Qi still took a breath and turned around in his mouth, twisting a sweet little face to be big on the left and round on the right for a while.
"I have demonstrated the tea art to you, and Bai Apple will also urge you to practice, and learn books and words every day for the next two months, and follow Bai Apple to learn etiquette, have you remembered?" Seeing that she tilted her head and didn't respond, Zhu Yan's face sank, "I'm coming back, but I'm going to test you, if you don't pass the test......"
"Sister......" Zhu Qi pouted dissatisfiedly, she can hang a small spoon, she grew up in the song building since she was a child, because her mother has the ability to always go on a rampage, where will you know how to write the word "rules"?
Zhu Yan closed his eyes and sneered fiercely, "Don't be coquettish, you should know that your sister and my shop are never allowed to bargain." ”
Zhu Qi was speechless, but her heart was secretly uneven, yesterday Mingzi also told her that although Zhu Yan's medicine shop never bargained for discounts, if he saw that people were poor and helpless, the medicines were given for free.
"Did you write it down?" Zhu Yan saw that the temperature in the fragrant cup had dropped, and leisurely changed the tea cup and handed it to her.
"Hmm." Zhu Qi shrugged aggrievedly.
"There's something else to tell you." Zhu Yan's face softened a little, took her little hand and rubbed it gently, and secretly handed her the two stacked title deeds, "You put this thing away, find an opportunity to give it to Brother Liu quietly, he probably understands what I mean." ”
Zhu Qi didn't know what she was holding in her hand, but seeing that she was solemn, she nodded sensibly, covered her sleeves, and put it away.
"Ah Qi, I still have some fields in my hands, and I asked Brother Liu to take advantage of the spring ploughing to let him either take back the fields, or let those farmers plant medicinal herbs instead." Zhu Yan pursed her lips, she has been thinking about turning those fields into medicinal fields for a long time, and she may be able to transplant some medicinal herbs back when she goes to Lingnan this time.
Zhu Qi still nodded obediently and wrote them down one by one, but there was confusion in her big eyes, and she couldn't help asking: "Sister, will we not live here in the future?" ”
"If you want to come back and see, you can." Zhu Yan rubbed her bangs and slowly got up, "Sister, go pack your luggage, you have to be obedient." ”
Because Zhu Yan's trip was relatively secretive this time, Yuan Rin picked her up that night and went to Bienfu for a night, and on the second day, she boarded the boat from the dock in Bailang Town and went to Lingnan by water.
It was just a few minutes early in the morning, and the dock was quite lively.
Before the boat left, Zhu Yan stood on the water's edge and was distracted, and a few crows got up early to forage for food and lingered near the pier.
Zhu Yan saw that those crows were not afraid of people at all, so he took out the wrapped snacks from his sleeves, crushed them and threw them to them.
The soft cat in his arms saw the bird, and his nature was unshakable to pounce, but Zhu Yan grabbed his ears and lifted it back.
"Miss Zhu, get on the boat." After Bian Feng finished arranging the affairs on the ship, he saw that she was feeding the birds here, and looked at Yuan Rin who was standing behind her and smiled lightly, "The girl is really kind-hearted." ”
Zhu Yan turned around and saw that Yuan Rin was a little lonely standing there, and suddenly felt a little reluctant in his heart, walked a few steps and sighed softly, "Xuanqing...... I'm leaving. ”
"Ah Yan." Yuan Rin saw that there was only Bian Feng around, stepped forward to grab her, lowered his head and rubbed her forehead, and then let go, "See you in two months." (To be continued......)
