Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wind Knocks the Bamboo Dew [6]
"It's here, Yuan Gongzi, stop the car." Zhu Yan looked at the scenery of Jiangcun outside the curtain in the rain, looked back and smiled, her beautiful face was reflected in the rain, and there seemed to be a soft light, lighting up the gray scenery outside.
Yuan Xuanqing didn't want to rush into the courtyard with her, but when he saw that there were still four food boxes in the car, he couldn't help frowning, "Miss Zhu, there are still four food boxes here, how can you get them?" ā
Zhu Yan lowered his head and smiled softly, "Childe underestimated Zhu Yan." ā
As he spoke, he gently rolled up his cuffs, revealing a small arm like a pink lotus, leaned over to hold the delicate handle on the food box, and checked the weight, it is indeed a little weighty, but it is not unbearable, it is estimated that it is only a hundred steps from getting out of the car to entering the yard, so it should be able to hold on.
Yuan Xuanqing saw that she was carrying two food boxes in each hand, and her wrists were slender, so she was worried for no reason, but when she looked up and saw that there was still a light rain outside the curtain, she said good words to dissuade her, "Miss Zhu, it's still raining outside, you can't hold an umbrella like this." ā
"Hmm......" Zhu Yan was slightly stunned, such a small rain, in fact, he didn't use an umbrella before, "In fact, the rain is not big......"
"The rain helps the evil of cold and dampness, how can a girl who studies medicine not take care of her body?" When it comes to medical skills, Yuan Xuanqing is always so serious.
Zhu Yan chuckled, lowered his head and said nothing, but his thoughts flew back to before.
It was also rainy weather, and the paulownia leaves were "empty" with raindrops on their heads.
On the road below, the thinly dressed girl only wore a hood at random, and let half of her forehead be exposed under the cold wind and rain, and hurriedly walked towards the distance, and it was vaguely seen that her lenses were already splashed with fine droplets, and the places near her cheeks were covered with a layer of mist, which also made people feel the cold weather.
In the past, it was indeed very willful, and I didn't use an umbrella in that weather, but now this little Qingming rain is nothing?
Perhaps thinking of the past, he showed a strange expression, Yuan Xuanqing stared at her eyes fixedly, and called her in a low voice, "Miss Zhu? ā
Zhu Yan raised her head, and the moment she met his gaze, she immediately closed her eyes, and an uneasiness that her inner secret was snooped on surfaced, making her subconsciously feel that the gentle young man in front of her was terrifying.
"What is the girl thinking?" Yuan Xuanqing realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and turned his head apologetically.
"I just remembered some things from the past, thank you for your concern." Zhu Yan didn't blame him, he tilted his head slightly, "It's not too early, I'll leave." ā
Looking at the rain curtain outside, he sighed secretly, if he is pitiful today, give her another chance to live, maybe she shouldn't abuse her body like this again?
What's more, as a doctor, if you can't even maintain your own body, what reason do you have for others to believe in you?
"Miss Zhu, let me send you in, right?" Yuan Xuanqing took the initiative to mention yƬ, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate after all, "That's it, let the servant who drives the car send it in for you, okay?" ā
Zhu Yan chuckled and nodded, it's really intimate, maybe the so-called "gentleman's demeanor" refers to Yuan Xuanqing, right? The little unpleasantness just now quickly disappeared into the clear air.
After getting out of the car, Zhu Yan gently opened the umbrella, and saw the servant standing in the rain with four food boxes, and quickly stepped forward to cover him from the drizzle.
The servant lowered his head in embarrassment for a moment, scared and embarrassed, and whispered, "How tired the little girl is holding an umbrella, it's really annoying to the villain, the girl should go in first." ā
"Yuan Gongzi can't bear me to suffer from the cold, and the labor brother sent me in, but human life is the same noble and cheap, how can Zhu Yan see you being invaded by the spring cold?" Zhu Yan pursed his lips and chuckled, seeing such a young man's face flushed like a piece of red-hot iron, it was really the first time, "Let's go quickly, don't tell the son to wait." ā
"Miss Zhu, the road is wet and slippery, be careful, see you another day." Yuan Xuanqing watched her faint figure go farther and farther away in the shade of grass and trees, and she was still silently chewing on what she had just said in her heart.
Human life is the same...... This girl's idea is really different, just her name? Could it really be her? But it's not like it at all......
When I entered the yard, several of the hounds in it were taking a nap in a slightly dry place, and the yard was quiet, filled with the smell of grass and earth.
"Little brother, it's hard for you to run this trip, just put it underground, I'll just take it in." As he spoke, Zhu Yan put away the exquisite oil-paper umbrella, and it was indeed a green bamboo pole on it, and the rain dripped down the umbrella bone, as if bamboo dew was splashing.
Reaching into his sleeve, he took out a few coppers, and handed them to the servant with a smile, "Zhu Yan has a little heart, and the little brother will go to play a few corners of wine in a while to drive away the spring cold, this umbrella, please return it to Yuan Gongzi for me." ā
"How dare you ......" The servant became more and more embarrassed, and refused to accept it again and again.
Zhu Yan deliberately made a straight face, his eyebrows were full of anger, and his tone was aggrieved, "Does the little brother look down on Zhu Yan?" I won't take such a small amount of money......"
"Well, don't dare, girl, go into the hall quickly, don't get out in the rain......" The servant couldn't push it over, and quickly took the copper, not even daring to touch her hand.
It's rare to see who this son is so dedicated to, and he can't help but know what to do...... What's more, this little girl is really sensible, and even an ordinary servant like herself treats her with good words.
Zhu Yan saw that he went out resignedly, leaned over and lifted the four food boxes, and walked quickly into the stove room.
"Mother, the swallow is back!" The stove room was empty, Zhu Yan called a few times, and Xu Suzhen didn't answer, so he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, put the food box on the table, and turned around and went down to the corridor to find Xu Suzhen.
"Miss Zhu!" The servant ran in again, holding the umbrella just now, and stopped in front of Zhu Yan in a hurry.
Zhu Yan put away his anxious look, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What's wrong?" ā
"Childe said, this umbrella will be given to the girl...... It's a memorial. The servant stammered a little, as if there was a mystery in it.
Zhu Yan hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the umbrella, if she didn't think that the boxwood of the umbrella bone was too valuable, just an umbrella, she wouldn't have thought much about it.
But this is boxwood......
Boxwood grows very slowly, legend has it that boxwood "one inch per year, not overflowing, to leap year to shrink an inch, is the destiny of the heavens", this kind of small tree, a few years down is only the thickness of the pen, to grow into this umbrella bone of such a size, must be a lot of price.
Li Yu seems to have made this kind of tree a "gentleman in the wood", thinking of the gentleman, Yuan Xuanqing's vague figure in the rain appeared in front of him.
Zhu Yan's expression froze, and he raised his eyebrows, "Yuan Gongzi asked you to deliver the umbrella, but what else did you say?" ā
