Chapter 14: Consolation
It's the last two days of the month. The monthly pass is cleared. Do you still have commuter passes? My dear, my watch is a waste. What's the matter!
------Off topic------
Just as the three of them were looking at the kite in one direction, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Huh? Isn't this Miss Fanghua of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion? It's going to be three days soon, and my pot of lotus orchids is fed? ”
The three of them were really sharper than one person, and soon put the kite in the air.
Xie Yunlan could only stand up.
"Your kite is too big!" Xie Fanghua took the kite and beckoned to Xie Yunlan, "Brother Yunlan, come here, let Brother Yunji hold the kite, and you help me reverse the line." ”
Xie Yunlan could only be ridiculed by her, "Let me see how smart you are!" ”
Xie Fanghua looked at the kite, the matter of flying a kite is still the business of the previous generation. The favorite of the ladies of the boudoir is to fly kites. She stood up and sneered at Xie Yunji, "You're so stupid! ”
Xie Yunji was obviously not very good at flying kites, so he didn't let go of it for a while. He turned around and called Xie Fanghua, "Sister Fanghua, come and help me!" ”
Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan chose a place to sit down and watched Xie Yunji shake off the line and fly a kite.
Xie Yunji immediately chose a place with a good wind direction and began to fly the big kite in his hand.
There are kites that have already flown and kites that have yet to be flown yet.
After turning over a hillside, it was really a flat grassy slope as Xie Yunji said. It's the beginning of the kite flying season, and many people are already flying kites here.
Out of the mansion of the other garden, the three of them walked towards the south slope.
Xie Yunji immediately took the big kite head and went out of the room. Xie Yunlan and Xie Fanghua strolled behind him.
Half an hour later, Xie Yunlan barely finished eating the meal Xie Fanghua stared at him and put down his chopsticks.
It was agreed on the 3rd day.
"It's good!" Xie Yunlan bowed.
"Brother Yun Ji is right! Brother Yunlan, if you don't fly a kite, go out for a walk! Xie Fanghua nodded.
"Oops! Also! Xie Yunji frowned, "Then you go with me!" If you're here, I'm not afraid. After the words fell, he said to Xie Yunlan, "You eat quickly." Seeing that your complexion is so bad, it's not good to be stuffy in the house all the time. You have kept the spirit of the old lady for three nights, and you can be regarded as having fulfilled your filial piety. Next, wait for the funeral to come out in seven days! Anyway, you don't like the atmosphere in Xie's Rice Grain Mansion. ”
"Be careful not to be caught!" Xie Fanghua said.
"It's not fun!" Xie Yunji pouted, "Then you stay, I'll go to the south slope to fly a kite, and call me when you leave." ”
"Go by yourself!" Xie Fanghua shook his head.
Xie Yunji took the kite, looked it up and down, and nodded, "Not bad!" As he spoke, he stood up and said to Xie Fanghua, "Let's go, go fly a kite!" ”
After a while, Feng Li found a big kite and said to Xie Yunji, "There is an uncle in our house who wears a kite, and he is responsible for cleaning the yard. When you have nothing to do, you can tie a kite. The craftsmanship is even better than the kites bought outside. Yun Jigongzi, what do you think of this? It's the one I picked out of a bunch of kites. ”
Kazuri immediately went.
"Then go find it for me! I'm going to fly a kite! It's so stuffy to stay in this room. Xie Yunji waved his hand.
"Yes! Gotta find it! Kazari replied uncertainly.
Xie Yunlan turned his head to look at Fengli, "Is there one?" ”
Xie Yunji did it for a while, then couldn't sit still, and asked Xie Yunlan, "Hey, do you have a kite in this mansion?" ”
Xie Fanghua saw that there was no purple qi in his eyebrows, and knew that the burning heart did not have a seizure, so he was relieved.
"Nope!" Xie Yunlan shook his head.
Xie Fanghua said softly to Xie Yunlan tentatively, "Brother Yunlan, you don't feel any discomfort except that you fainted because you didn't eat well, right?" ”
"Forget it! His broken body, he is not a human being, and he can stand it! Xie Yunji heard this, and thanked him for not being sensitive.
"You're in good shape! I can take care of myself, where can I still be stared at by others? Otherwise, you will change your body with Brother Yunlan. I treat you differently! Xie Fanghua hated him.
"Hey, Sister Fanghua, how do I think you are so much nicer to him than to me! is the same cousin, how can there be such a big difference? Xie Yunji was a little dissatisfied.
Xie Yunlan nodded.
"Don't talk yet, let Brother Yunlan eat well!" Xie Fanghua moved Xie Yunlan's favorite dishes to him, "You eat some of these dishes, and then drink two bowls of porridge." You haven't eaten in the past few days, and you can't eat more. ”
Xie Yunlan took the chopsticks handed to him by Xie Fanghua, did not have any appetite, and nodded.
"Because of the bombing of the Linfen Bridge, the emperor is now focused on the Linfen Bridge and has no time to take care of anything else. You'll have to take the opportunity to get your spirits up. Xie Yunji sat on the chair next to him and knocked on the table, "Qin Yu has already started to deal with me, that is, to deal with the Xie Clan's salt warehouse." I'm hiding from him and his royal first-class guards now, but I can't hide from the first year of junior high school, and I can't hide from fifteen. You've got to help me. ”
"So, you can't be fine! Are you important, do you know? Seeing that his face was relaxed, Xie Fanghua pulled him out of bed, dragged him to the table and sat down, and put a bowl of porridge in front of him.
Xie Yunlan sighed.
"Brother Yunlan, why are you such a smart and clear person, but now you are on the tip of the horns? Can't think about it? Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand and dragged him, "Go and eat!" If you fall. Then you can think about it, will the emperor immediately take action against the granary that you have seized? Avenge your escape from him! ”
Xie Yunlan pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Anyway! To have the ability is to have the ability! Xie Yunji waved his hand, "You should think about it, the old lady has been suffering for so many years, and now that she is gone, it can be regarded as a relief." You should be happy for her. If you toss yourself, won't she feel distressed when she looks at the sky? If the first half of her life was for Xie's rice grain, then the second half of her life is all for you. ”
"I also saved Xie's rice grain for my grandmother. I don't want to Xie Shi's rice grain ancestors' hard work, my grandmother's hard work for half a lifetime was just ruined. Xie Yunlan shook his head.
"The emperor took Xie's rice grain and devoured Xie's rice grain into royal rice grain, but you pulled out half of the granary from him. Isn't that a blessing? Xie Yunji asked rhetorically.
Xie Yunlan looked at Xie Yunji, "Where am I better than you?" ”
"You also know that the old lady has been sick for so many years because of you! Then you have to fight for it! She's still alive. If you have a good one. Worthy of her? Xie Yunji sneered, "I've always felt that you are better than me." Now it seems that I think highly of you. ”
Xie Fanghua tugged at his hand.
Xie Yunlan pursed his lips, "If it weren't for me, my grandmother wouldn't have been sick for many years." ”
"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it?" Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand and dragged him, "You passed out last night, and you can't stand the beating without eating or drinking." What's more, you're not in good health in the first place. ”
Xie Yunlan shook his head, "I can't eat it!" ”
"Are you okay?" Xie Fanghua sat at the head of the bed and said to him, "Hurry up and eat!" ”
Xie Yunlan raised his head, glanced at her, nodded to her and Xie Yunji, who came in behind her, and spoke, his voice hoarse, "I'm fine!" Actually, you don't have to work to come and see me! Have a seat! ”
Xie Fanghua frowned, walked to the side of the bed, and shouted, "Brother Yunlan! ”
Indoors, Xie Yunlan was half-lying on the bed, his face was pale, there was food on the table, and there was a dull atmosphere in the room.
Xie Fanghua stepped into the threshold, and Xie Yunji also followed.
Coming to a main courtyard, Feng Li took the two of them straight to the door of the main house, opened the curtain, and invited the two to enter.
The scenery of the inner courtyard is very elegant and exquisite, but Xie Fanghua naturally has no intention of appreciating it.
Feng Li hurriedly took the two into the inner courtyard.
Xie Fanghua nodded, "I'll go and persuade him!" ”
Feng Li nodded, "Childe just woke up, I brought him food, and he didn't move. Miss Fanghua, if you don't come, I want to ask you to persuade my son. ”
"Still not eating or drinking?" Xie Fanghua frowned. She knew the importance of Mrs. Xie's rice grain to Brother Yunlan, and she knew it in her last life. He had been teaching at the old lady's side.
Feng Li shook his head, "Although Childe has always been prepared, but when the old lady went, he was still extremely sad. After a pause, he said in a low voice, "You may not know that for so many years, the old lady has been in Xie's rice grain, even if she is sick and in pain, even if the son does not see her and is not by her side." But as long as she saves. Childe felt relieved. She is the pillar of Childe. Now that he is gone, Childe's whole spirit is as if he has been crushed. If you don't eat or drink, no matter how much I try to persuade me, it won't work. ”
"Brother Yunlan is good?" Xie Fanghua asked Fengli.
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Feng Li hurriedly walked out and saluted the two, "Miss Fanghua, Yun Jigongzi, please inside!" ”
Xie Fanghua smiled and didn't speak.
"If you're in a bad mood, you can't get along with yourself!" Xie Yunji looked up at the blue sky and said leisurely, "Xie will be in the future, whether it is good or bad." As long as we do what we have to do, we don't have to be ashamed. If you are depressed and worried about what has not happened. I can't live this day. It's not much of a taste anymore. ”
"I'm not in the mood when I'm free!" Xie Fanghua remembered the dying words of Mrs. Xie's rice grain, like a cloud, pressing on her heart. She wanted to ignore it, but she couldn't. She wants to pay attention to it, but she can't pay attention to it. In short, fluttering and unfounded.
"Why not?" Xie Yun continued, "What else do you have to do now that makes you unavailable?" ”
Xie Fanghua remembered that Qin Zheng said about flying a kite yesterday, she shook her head, "How can there be that free time?" ”
Xie Yunji leaned on the side of the car, looked at the large mountains and forests on the south slope, and stretched out his hand to the south, "In the past, there was a large grassy slope on that mountain. A lot of people fly kites there. Sister Fanghua, let's go there to fly a kite in a while! ”
The man in the door was surprised, nodded, and went inside.
"Miss Fanghua from the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, as well as Yun Jigongzi from the Xie family's salt warehouse, came to visit Yunlan Gongzi. Tired of reporting. The waiter said politely.
After the knocker rang twice, someone poked their head out of it, glanced out, and asked, "Who?" ”
Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunji lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage one after the other.
The waiter first jumped out of the carriage from the front of the car and knocked on the knocker.
This is a mountain forest, a courtyard built against the mountain. This courtyard is also as quiet as in Binh Duong City.
The journey was very smooth, and after more than half an hour, they arrived at the door of the courtyard of the mansion where Xie Yunlan's capital was located.
The carriage went straight out of the southern city.
Since Xie Yunlan broke away from Xie's rice grain, he set up his own mansion. Like Binh Duong City, it is in the suburbs of Namsan Mountain, which is very quiet. Of course, there was no news in front of outsiders that he had left Xie's rice grain, but to the outside world, it was said that Yunlan Gongzi liked to be quiet and didn't like to disturb, and his body was weak, so the suburbs were suitable for quiet recuperation.
The two got into the carriage and instructed the coachman to go to Xie Yunlan's villa.
Not long after, the two came to the gate of the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion, and the waiter painting and the waiter Mo had already ordered someone to prepare the carriage in advance.
The two of them walked out together.
Xie Yunji seemed to be really bored, and his steps followed him briskly.
Xie Fanghua thought about a big man and said that he would let a little woman protect him, and he didn't have an embarrassed expression at all. But with her here, she didn't think that the people of the royal family would be able to capture Xie Yunji in her hands. She nodded, "Let's go, then!" ”
"Aren't you there? You can protect me! Xie Yun continued.
Xie Fanghua saw that he was really going, "You're not afraid of going out and meeting someone who can't get out?" ”
"Yunlan! I heard he fainted last night! Xie Yunji sighed and jumped off the wall, "Fuzhong is really boring, I'll go with you to see him." ”
Xie Fanghua glanced at him, "I'll go to Brother Yunlan's mansion." Are you going? ”
Passing by Zhilan Garden, Xie Yunji was sitting on the wall of Zhilan Garden, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, humming a small tune, looking bored. Seeing that Xie Fanghua was about to go out in a hurry, he immediately shouted at the wall, "Sister Fanghua, where are you going?" Take my brother with me! ”
Xie Fanghua changed into a plain dress, cleaned up, and went out of Begonia Garden.
The two nodded.
"Prepare the car! I'll go to Brother Yunlan's mansion now! Xie Fanghua commanded.
"It is said that since the old lady left, he has not eaten or drunk. The body naturally can't stand it. The two of them said immediately.
Xie Fanghua immediately stood up when he heard this, "How could he faint?" ”
After a short time, the two came back and said to Xie Fanghua, "Today is the third day of the death of Mrs. Xie's rice grain. Yunlan Gongzi kept a vigil for the old lady last night and fainted in front of the spirit. He was sent back to his house. Now in his own house. ”
The painter and the ink immediately responded.
Xie Fanghua sat in front of the window for a while, and then called to serve the painting and ink, "Go and inquire, what is Brother Yunlan doing today?" ”
Qin Zheng had breakfast and went out of Begonia Garden.
The two stopped talking.
Xie Fanghua nodded, without being reminded by him, she had indeed forgotten about the cat. She tasted Qin Zheng's words, what does it mean for a cat to keep peace in Pingyang County? Could it be that Qin Zheng wanted to defend Pingyang County when he was in Pingyang City?
"She exchanged a cat for Pingyang County to keep peace! Where else will it be distressing? Qin Zheng didn't think so, his words fell, and he said to Xie Fanghua, "Anyway, you can't lose what I gave you." You'll get it back for me later. ”
"That cat is really beautiful! Mrs. Pingyang County didn't know what it would be like to feel distressed. Xie Fanghua said.
"What's so embarrassing about that?" Qin Zheng snorted coldly, "I'll ask him to find you a plaything, and he will voluntarily send his wife's cat up." It wasn't the master who forced him. ”
Xie Fanghua frowned when she heard this, "That cat was not yours originally, but you took it from the lady of Pingyang County Shoufu." How embarrassing are you? I haven't said you yet! ”
Qin Zheng snorted, "It's not a good idea to take what I gave you!" I forgot! If Xie Yunlan sent it to you, you will definitely not forget it. ”
"Didn't throw it away! It should be at Brother Yunlan's. Xie Fanghua recalled explaining to him, "That day, many people from Xie's rice and grain gathered at the city gate to greet Brother Yunlan, and my brother came to the city gate alone to pick me up. Before I got out of the car, it slept in Yunlan's brother's car. ”
When Qin Zheng heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied with him, "I gave you a cat, how can you throw it away at will?" ”
Xie Fanghua thought for a moment, "That night, at the city gate, I got out of the car, and the cat didn't get out ......of the car," she said uncertainly, "At Brother Yunlan's!" ”
"What about the cat?" Qin Zheng suddenly remembered the cat he gave her when she was leaving Pingyang City, and she didn't see it when she came back.
Xie Fanghua glanced at him.
"But you can worry about me, prove that you already have me in your heart." Qin Zheng sandwiched a chopstick dish for her, and her noodles were like a spring breeze.
Xie Fanghua thought about it too.
"Don't worry! It's already March, not long before the flood season, the Linfen Bridge is now ruined, and if thousands of acres of fertile land and people around it are rainstormed, then it will be a catastrophe. Now, in addition to thoroughly investigating the fire in the Dharma Buddhist Temple, he also has to thoroughly investigate the destruction of the Linfen Bridge, and immediately find skilled craftsmen to rebuild the Linfen Bridge and complete it before the flood season. He has so many things to do, where can he bother with me? Qin Zheng said.
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "I won't kill you!" He doesn't want to push the British Prince's Mansion away completely, but it's okay to get you in some trouble. ”
Qin Zheng suddenly laughed, "Are you afraid that Uncle Huang will kill me?" ”
Although Xie Fanghua heard him say that it was light and simple, the truth must not be simple, but since it was okay, she didn't ask in detail. He said, "Be careful when you enter the palace!" ”
"What else can be done? Naturally, the person who was pinched by Qin Yu's people was killed, and the traces were erased. There is no evidence to rely on. What else can Concubine Shen and the Shen family do! Qin Zheng said.
"Concubine Shen and the Shen family's affairs, how did you deal with them in Yuncheng?" Xie Fanghua asked in a low voice.
The waiter answered, turned around and walked out of the Begonia Garden.
"Okay, got it! You sue him, and I'll enter the palace in a while! Qin Zheng said nonchalantly to the outside.
The Empress Dowager Deci and Princess Ying joined forces to spoil him, which shows what a lawless character he spoiled. Even if the Empress Dowager Deci went. His temperament has also been developed, and he can't change it.
Xie Fanghua glanced at Qin Zheng when he heard this, if he didn't listen to the emperor's call and let him come to invite him personally, not to mention the capital, there was no one in the world except Qin Zheng.
As soon as the two of them ate a few bites, the waiter entered the Begonia Garden and said inside, "Miss, Gonggong Wu in the palace has come to pass the word to the second son of Zheng again." said that if he didn't listen to the call to enter the palace today, the emperor would come to the palace in person. ”
Qin Zheng freshened up properly, and the waiter painting and ink also came up with breakfast.
Xie Fanghua turned to look at him, stared at him for a moment, then turned around, slowly hung up the curtain, and folded the bedding.
After a while, he reluctantly let go of her and went to freshen up.
Qin Zheng felt her obedience and hooked the corners of his mouth.
Xie Fanghua smelled the faint plum fragrance on his body that had been soaked in Luomei Ju for a long time, and he was once uncomfortable, but now he has been pestered by him many times, and he has adapted to it. Reluctantly let him hold it.
"Just hold it for a while!" Qin Zheng stubbornly hugged her.
"What are you doing? Let's freshen up and eat! You were lazy for a day yesterday, and the emperor will let you go today? I guess I'll send someone to call you again in a moment. Can you drag on and not enter the palace any longer? Xie Fanghua reached out and pushed her.
"It's not just about thinking, it's about making it happen." Qin Zheng opened his eyes, sat up, and reached out to hug her body standing in front of the bed into his arms.
Xie Fanghua glared at him, "Think beautiful!" ”
Qin Zheng woke up slowly, grabbed her hand, and said softly, "If you call me to get up every morning, it will be interesting to think about it in this life." ”
Half an hour later, Xie Fanghua came out of the small kitchen, returned to the room, saw that Qin Zheng was still asleep, and walked to the side of the bed and called him.
Qin Zheng really fell asleep again.
Xie Fanghua looked at the lazy bed man speechlessly and went out to the small kitchen.
"Sleep a little longer, you call me for breakfast in a while." Qin Zheng grunted and closed his eyes again.
Xie Fanghua pushed away the quilt, got out of bed, took clothes from the wardrobe and changed them behind the screen, and then walked out to freshen up, and when she stepped out of the threshold, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked at the person who was still lying on the bed, "You still can't get up?" ”
"Then you can go quickly!" Qin Zheng began to urge her to get up.
Xie Fanghua thought for a while, Qin Zheng's cooking at dinner yesterday was indeed delicious, but it still made her very uncomfortable, because she had worked hard to learn the cooking skills, and she found that she could not handle his cooking skills. But that's just the way it is. Some people are born to hit people, and Qin Zheng belongs to this kind of person. She nodded and agreed, "Okay! ”
"During the few days I lived in the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, you were responsible for making breakfast, and I was responsible for making dinner. For lunch, we went to eat with my grandfather. Qin Zheng said, "This is also reasonable!" If you don't make breakfast, that's fine, but I won't do dinner either. ”
"Why?" Xie Fanghua asked rhetorically.
"You go make breakfast!" Qin Zheng didn't choose any of them.
Xie Fanghua was speechless, she also felt that he who was asleep was more comfortable than when he was awake, she raised her eyes and glanced at the sky, it was already clear, and said to him. "Do you go to the kitchenette to make breakfast, or let Aunt Fu prepare it. You pick one! ”
"Aren't you afraid of waking you up?" Qin Zheng said lazily, "You are more lovely when you are still asleep." ”
"What do you do when you wake up in bed?" Xie Fanghua rolled over.
Qin Zheng let out an "um", and his voice was clear.
Xie Fanghua looked into his eyes for a moment, then closed his eyes again, "You woke up a long time ago?" ”
Early the next morning, Xie Fanghua was awakened by a pair of eyes, she slowly opened her eyes, and sure enough, she saw Qin Zheng tilting his head and looking at her without blinking. A pair of eyes are like a warm spring spring, clear and pure, her whole person seems to be covered in his eyes, and the tired and lazy posture that has just woken up is like a painting.
This night, although he hugged Xie Fanghua, he also took into account her posture, so Xie Fanghua did not sleep uncomfortably.
That night, Qin Zheng naturally lived in Xie Fanghua's boudoir again, although he shared the same bed, he didn't do anything in the end.
