Chapter 076: Acknowledgments
And on the side, the little starling who circled around Tong Shuangzhi also shouted with a sharp voice on the side, fluttering his wings: "Wake up!" Wake up! ”
Behind Tong Xue, Li Yan had a relieved look on his face, and a shallow smile appeared on his cold face.
"Xiuxiu, it's good if you're awake! Just wake up! Tong Xue let go of her, looked her up and down, and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry?" Thirsty or not? ”
Tong Shuang nodded and whispered, "I'm a little thirsty." ”
Tong Xue hurriedly instructed the girl to bring warm water, gave her a drink, and sent hot porridge to her, and personally tasted her spoonful by spoonful.
Tong Shuang obediently finished eating a bowl of porridge, Tong Xue turned around and handed the bowl to the girl, seeing that Li Yan was still there, she couldn't help frowning, "What else is wrong with Li Shizi?" ”
Although this is the courtyard of the Rising Sun Hall, Tong Shuang has been resting here for a long time when he is unconscious.
Although Tong Shuang is young, there is a difference between men and women, Li Yan stood in the girl's boudoir like this, and he still looked calm, and he didn't know when he would be so thick-skinned.
The originally warm smile on Li Yan's face suddenly disappeared because of these words.
The corners of his lips flattened, and he returned to a cold and grim appearance, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"I sent the starling back from the house." He stretched out his hand to beckon to the little starling, and the little starling who was originally fluttering around Tong Shuang suddenly flapped his wings and flew towards him, landing firmly on his shoulder, and wanted to peck his cheek with his paws, but he raised his hand to block it.
Tong Xue looked at this starling, remembering that she had been intimately attached to this bird in the past, and a gloom passed through her heart, and then it was wiped away in an instant.
Indeed, this starling is Li Yan's, and it has never belonged to her.
"In this way, I will invite Li Shizi to the main hall, and I will ask the girl to prepare some pastries to express my gratitude." Tong Xue said lukewarmly, without a hint of gratitude on her face.
Li Yu's stiff brows furrowed, and the young man's sharp gaze swept over Tong Xue's eyes, and stayed on Tong Shuang, which was much gentler.
"Little girl, you just woke up, you need to rest and take care of your body, don't think about it anymore." Li Yan said to Tong Shuang in a gentle voice, and then turned around and strode out of the house.
Tong Xue looked at his back, remembered his appearance of no one in his eyes, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Sister, is there any disagreement between you and your eldest brother?" Tong Shuang saw that the two of them looked incompatible, and couldn't help but ask cautiously.
Tong Xue said casually, "For some reason, when I saw this person, I was disgusted with him." ”
"Big brother is obviously very good, but his temperament is a little cold." Tong Shuang whispered.
"Hmm." Tong Xue sneered, did not dwell on this matter, and asked her instead: "You just woke up, and your spirit is still very weak, but do you want to continue to rest in bed?" ”
Tong Shuang yawned, nodded, and replied in a low voice, "Sleepy." ”
Tong Xue smiled lightly, "Let's lie down over there." My sister is watching over you. ”
Tong Shuang lay down obediently as she said, and after a while, she made a shallow and even breathing sound.
Tong Xue stayed alone for a while, and only after she breathed deep and long did she get up and leave.
Walking outside the Nuan Cang Hall, seeing Mama Dong's footsteps hurriedly approaching, Tong Xue walked two steps quickly to meet her, "Why is Mama in such a hurry?" But what's the matter? ”
"Not really." Mama Dong gasped and said: "Mrs. Tai heard that the second girl woke up, and she was busy going to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures to thank the Bodhisattva, Li Shizi came to say goodbye, and the old slave did not go to the Buddhist hall to interrupt the eldest lady, and specially looked for the eldest girl to go over." ”
When Tong Xue heard the words, she raised her eyebrows, turned to Song's mother and said, "I'm tired that my mother went to the big kitchen to load two boxes of pastries." ”
When Mother Song heard this, her face hesitated.
"That's it, let's go to the small kitchen of Hanmei Pavilion and put two boxes of peach blossom su that I specially asked the girl to make."
"Yes!" Song's mother was ordered to go down.
Tong Xue took Mama Dong and continued to go to the Rising Sun Hall.
Before she entered the main hall, Li Yan had already stood up from her seat.
"The things have been returned, and it's time to say goodbye. I was annoyed that Miss Tong informed the elders in the house. ”
"I bother Li Shizi to personally take a trip to return to the original owner, and the little girl is grateful." Tong Xue reluctantly bent her knees at him.
"It's a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about." Li Yan put his hands behind his back, accepted the salute solidly, and said lightly on his face: "It's just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." ”
I don't know if it's Tong Xue's illusion, but I always feel that he bites these eight words very clearly and slowly.
Looking at him again, he looked like an old man, without the slightest intention of returning the salute, Tong Xue felt a flame in his heart, and his action of standing up was a little perfunctory.
"The little girl specially prepared some thank-you gifts, and asked Li Shizi to wait for a while." Tong Xue said with a tense face.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows, but he really stopped at the beginning.
One of them looked into the distance, the other glanced to the side, and stood opposite each other without saying a word.
If you get closer, you can see that there is a bit of tension between the two.
However, Mama Dong is getting older, and she stands a little far, so she feels that the two of them are standing opposite each other like this, the young man is handsome and upright like a bamboo pole, the girl is slim and elegant, with a slender neck, like a half-open lotus, looking at it like this, the ground is pleasing to the eye.
After a while, Song's mother came over with two boxes of pastries.
Tong Xue took it and personally handed it to Li Yan, "Two boxes of pastries are not a tribute, and please accept it with a smile." ”
Li Yan took the pastry, handed it to the servant on the side, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Farewell." ”
"Walk slowly." Tong Xue bowed slightly.
Li Yan's stiff eyebrows raised slightly, and he strode away with his entourage.
When I returned to the house, I saw that the little girl was still swaying around with two boxes of pastries, and asked lightly: "Open it and see, what kind of pastry is it?" ”
The little girl opened the lid according to his words and replied respectfully: "Back to the world, it's a peach blossom cake." ”
Li Yan snorted, secretly hating that he was really incompatible with the thorny eldest girl in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Li Yan was very popular when he was young because of his handsome appearance, especially when he went to a relative's house.
Ever since he went to his aunt's house when he was a child, he was grabbed by an unknown aunt and stuffed into a piece of peach blossom crisp, and he was almost choked and choked, Li Yan has not been interested in any pastries, let alone the peach blossom cake that was the culprit in the first place.
"Take it down, it's all for you." As he spoke, he sent the little servant down.
Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, after sending Li Yan away, Tong Xue began to deal with trivial matters in the mansion.
After arranging everything, it is time for lunch.
Mrs. Ran is still worshipping Buddha in the Buddhist hall, Tong Jingxuan and his wife have not yet returned from the palace, Tong Shuang has not woken up since she fell asleep again, and Tong Xue had to use some pastries to pad her stomach first.
When Mrs. Tai came out of the Buddhist hall, the grandfather and grandson used some vegetarian food together, Tong Xue went back to the Hanmei Pavilion to sleep, and when she woke up, Tong Jingxuan and his wife had returned to the Hou Mansion.
"The emperor has issued a holy decree and invited Concubine Wen back from Wutai Mountain, and when Concubine Wen is in the palace for a day, the eldest princess of Yuanjiang will not be able to make any waves." In the warm cangtang, Tong Jingxuan said to Mrs. Dingyuan Hou.
"I hope so." Mrs. Dingyuan Hou held the Buddha beads on her wrist with a solemn expression.
