Chapter 174: Driving People Out (1)

The days passed in a flash, and so it was two days later.

As usual, Liu Zhaoqun came to the study room with a rich collection of books early, took out a thick collection of books from the library at random, turned around and took the books to the window and sat down next to the long table.

Originally, there were no furnishings under the window, so he asked a few maids to come in and help him move the long floor and table on the grounds that it was more breathable to sit by the window, and also put a plate of washed fresh fruit for himself.

A maid asked, "What else does Young Master Liu have to order?" ”

Liu Zhaoqun smiled warmly, looking very friendly, "No, thank you." ”

There were two diligent maids who came in to help, but it was the first time they received such a kind smile, and they immediately retreated with a red face.

He sat sideways with his signature smile, and if someone stood on the porch outside and looked at the open window, it could be seen that the upper body of the man and his gentle and handsome appearance were exposed by the window.

Since he entered the study, he has been sitting next to the window for several days, so some maids with a heart of spring have followed his law, and when they have nothing to do, they will dangle around the neighborhood to see him more; And when he was tired of reading, he would look up at the flowers and plants outside to relieve his fatigue, and with a slight turn of his eyes, he would always be swept to a few sneaky maids to look at her.

He smiled and nodded at them as if politely, and often the maids were surprised and delighted but didn't know how to respond, so they had to hold their red little faces in a panic and run away.

But I didn't know that as soon as the eyes of the beautiful man by the window returned to the book, his eyes were cold.

…… He chose the location by the window on purpose. The purpose is to let everyone see his every move in the study, especially Old Madam Su.

Outsiders only said that Mrs. Su took good care of her, and she made up the soup every day. also sent someone over to take care of him, but everyone didn't know, Mrs. Su was also a shrewd person, and she was just letting people take the opportunity to observe him.

Being concerned also shows that Mrs. Su is interested in him.

The slender fingers pointed at the scroll, but the concentration in his eyes was true.

He is a person who reads, and he does love books, not to mention that many of these books in the study are rare and good books. After reading it, there will always be a sense of benefit. Although I always try my best to maintain humility on my face, I can read a book by the window, which is really comfortable.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The man sat calmly by the window. Holding a book in his hand, his sword eyebrows are in his sideburns, his face is like a crown of jade, and his bright eyes are focused on the pages. The long finger flicked slightly. There was a slight flipping sound.

It can really be regarded as a scene, and it attracted a few little maids to peep with red faces.

And behind a thick pavilion pillar in the distance, there was also a maid lying on her stomach, the maid looked plain, but like the maids who were closer, she couldn't help but look at the scene in the study.

After a few turns of her eyes, she picked up the things she had placed on the ground and trotted out of the courtyard where the study was. He vigilantly inspected around again, and then turned into a small courtyard with his back to the study.

This small courtyard used to be inhabited. But because it was too close to Su Ran's study, it would disturb him if there was any noise, so he cleared this small courtyard.

Now I can't help people, I sent two servants to plant flowers and plants in it, and even the pavilion corridor and pavilion fence did not let go, and hung a lot of flower jars, which were planted with all kinds of flowers that were easy to live.

At the back, Su Ran asked people to dig a small clear pond in it, and now, a circle of light Haishou flowers is planted on it, and the purple flowers are bunches of them, with the green leaves and clear water, it is very refreshing.

In the pond, you can also see various koi swimming happily in the water.

As a result, this place has also become Wang Xuan's preferred place to stay, and I don't know if it's because of these koi in the pond, or because it's close to Su Ran's study.

In addition, no one can come to this place, Aunt Liu can't, and other maids and wives can't do it, just because this place is used as a resting place for the lord of the house on weekdays.

And he just doesn't like to be disturbed.

So, today, when his father went to court, Su Nianyu chose this place as a place to stay.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and the plain-looking maid flashed into the house and talked directly about what Fang Cai was doing in the courtyard next door.

Su Nianyu is wearing a goose yellow pomegranate flower skirt today, with light makeup, and the whole person looks delicate.

She sat on the pestle by the window, and listened calmly to the maid's reply.

After the maid finished speaking, Su Nianyu frowned and said softly: "How long will it take for the tonic soup from my grandmother's side to be sent to the study?" ”

The little maid said, "Another half an hour." ”

Su Nianyu hummed, paused, and suddenly showed a smile.

She asked the little maid, "Is the mung bean soup ready?" ”

"It's ready."

Su Nianyu sat down on the pestle smoothly again, and picked up the tea on the table without hurry and took a sip.

Yuan Xiang hesitated, "Girl, is this method you said feasible?" ”

Su Nianyu smiled and looked at her, "Why not?" ”

"That Young Master Liu must be an extremely smart person, and even the master is full of praise for him. In the few days he has lived in Su Mansion, you have never spoken to him, girl, and you are very indifferent; Now that he had sent someone to bring him a bowl of mung bean soup, he would have been able to guess that there was something to do with it, so how could he drink it? ”

Compared with Yuan Xiang's worries, Su Nianyu seemed too calm, and she said lightly: "So what? ”

“……”

With one side of his eyes, he saw that Yuanxiang even frowned, so he smiled, "Don't worry, just do what I said." ”

My own girls said so, and I thought that she was confident, so Yuanxiang put her heart back.

Su Nianyu beckoned the little maid to come over again, whispered in her ear, and then asked her with a smile: "Do you remember everything I said?" ”

The little maid blessed her, "Rest assured, girl, the slave will not let you down." ”

Su Nianyu didn't speak again, turned his head to look at the sky outside, and waved his hand, "Go, the time is just right, as for those old maids who run in the study, I won't let them be idle, you should do it boldly." ”

The little maid answered, went out, picked up her things, and went in the direction of the study.

*

In the study, Liu Zhaoqun sat up straight with one hand on the table and the other hand on the scroll.

He had been in this position for nearly an hour, and it was time for him to get up and walk around.

He put a skewer made of tung oil flowers on the page he was reading, and closed it gently, but he was ready to get up and take a walk in the study, so as to relax his muscles and bones.

He squinted and looked outside.

I still remember the first two days when he came to the study, there was silence everywhere, there was no sound, only the flowers blooming outside the courtyard, and the occasional bees and butterflies fluttered; And now, with just a casual glance, I can catch a few figures pretending to be busy in the yard.

The more daring maid, with her own good looks, also knocked on the study, and said with a flattering eye that she was going to bring him tea and pour water, and he didn't know what they had in mind.

It's really self-defeating and whimsical!

He was about to rub his forehead, but he saw a maid carrying a food box walk in through the door.

Unlike the maids who peeped at him, this person was very ordinary, and if he mixed her up in a group of people, Rao was a person with such a good memory, and he might not be able to find her.

At this moment, her steps were steady, and her face was calm towards the study.

Liu Zhaoqun's eyes fell on the big red box she was carrying, thinking about who should have sent someone to bring him something.

He simply left the window and sat down at the large round table in front of the hall.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the house, and a calm and waveless voice rang out, "Young Master Liu, the slave maid brought you mung bean soup." ”

Liu Zhaoqun answered and asked her to push the door in by herself.

The little maid had a wooden face, but she glanced at him lightly, ignored his warm smile, and walked directly to the round table in the hall with her things.

put down the food box first, and then took out a bowl of mung bean soup from it and put it on the table, and said: "The weather has been hot recently, and my girl is afraid that Young Master Liu will get angry in the study all day long, so she sent a slave to bring you mung bean soup to reduce the fire." ”

As soon as Liu Zhaoqun heard the little girl's words, he immediately reacted: "Your girl...... But the big girl? ”

Except for the people around the eldest girl, he really couldn't think of any other maid who would say such a thing, and make such a look of contempt for him.

The little maid's answer was still a glance, "Exactly." ”

Liu Zhaoqun raised his eyebrows and looked at the soup on the table.

The little maid seemed to know that he had doubts about the soup in his heart, and said, "The girl asked the slave to tell you that this mung bean soup is poisonous, and there is some strychnine in it, if you dare not eat it, let the slave and maid pour the things." ”

As she spoke, the little maid took a step forward, picked up the mung bean soup in front of him, turned around and prepared to walk out the door.

Looks like it's really ready to fall.

Liu Zhaoqun was caught off guard, he didn't expect the little girl to fall down when she said it, and when she came back to her senses, she hurriedly stopped someone, and snatched the mung bean soup in her hand, and there was a little anger in her warm eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "You little girl, you are so bold! I didn't say I didn't drink! ”

The little maid said: "The slave maid looked at Young Master Liu, you didn't seem to be reluctant, so she made up her own mind, presumably if the girl knew, she would also agree with the slave's approach." ”

actually took the eldest girl out to press him.

Liu Zhaoqunsheng held back his anger and said with a smile: "...... I was just surprised that the eldest girl actually had someone bring me soup, and we didn't even see each other in the last day. ”

The little maid didn't speak, but just stood there with her eyes down.

Liu Zhaoqun put the mung bean soup under his nose and smelled it, then smiled, "Nux has a pungent smell, but this bowl of soup only has a sweet taste, your girl loves to joke." (To be continued......)
