Chapter 88: Chinese New Year's Eve
Qi Lichen raised his face, and the firelight reflected on his face, but it didn't dye his eyes a little warm. The fire in those pupils was just because the fire in the furnace was booming: "Everyone in the Qingyu Pavilion, which one I don't connive?" ”
The people in Qingyu Pavilion have been assassins all their lives, and they have all followed Qi Lichen step by step to the present.
Everyone has their own temperament, Qi Lichen never restrains them, so that sometimes they don't know what to do and are too presumptuous, but in front of business, one is more serious than the other, so they don't follow the rules, and Qi Lichen never really reprimanded them.
Just ask, who is in the cabinet and Qi Lichen doesn't connive? It was because of connivance that Bai Ye dared to run to Nancun before, without his order. persuaded many times to follow Qi Lichen, but in the end, Qi Lichen did not punish him.
Luo Qing'er stroked the agate tassel on her head, and the smile on her face made people feel like a spring breeze, and she couldn't see it at all, this was the key
The look that should be when discussing the rights and wrongs of others behind her back, Luo Qing'er has always been like this, talking and doing things with a smiling face.
"Having said that, the Pavilion Master's indulgence of Madame is different." has been in the land of wind and moon for a long time, Luo Qing'er knows the way to stop talking to the point, and the meaning of the expression will become something when it is clear, but it is not good.
Qi Lichen turned the jade wrench on his thumb, and stared at the brazier in front of him with heavy eyes: "She is my lady who has not passed through the door, so she is naturally different." ”
Qi Lichen picked up the folding fan on the table and chuckled coldly: "There is one more thing you must know, Madame is your master no matter what, you shouldn't discuss it in vain." Qing'er, it's time for you to get used to using Twilight Cloud as your master. ”
After that, Qi Lichen got up and walked out of the study, since he spoke, he hadn't looked at Luo Qing'er directly, after so many years, Luo Qing'er hadn't gotten used to it. I know that this person will not have himself in his eyes, but he is still not used to it.
Qi Lichen quickly returned to Qi Mansion, Ma just stopped at the gate of the mansion, Xiao Xiao came up to help Qi Lichen lead the horse, and anxiously urged: "Gongzi, the girl has prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, call the little one to guard, and as soon as Gongzi returns, he will urge Gongzi to pass." ”
Xi Twilight had already asked people to come to the door a few times, urging anxiously, as if this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner could not wait for more than an hour.
"I still have something to prepare, you just say that you won't see me come back, and you can use any reason to trick the girl into putting the banquet in the courtyard."
Qi Lichen rode to the back door, Bai Ye had been waiting at the back door for a long time, there were many big boxes in the backyard door, I don't know what objects were placed inside: "The pavilion master asked his subordinates to wait, I don't know how the pavilion master plans to arrange it?" ”
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the subordinates of the Qi Mansion were all on leave, and the secret guards of the Qingyu Pavilion invited them to go out of the mansion to play, and the subordinates who were later bought into the mansion also asked to go out to see the lights. The Spring Festival couplets were pasted in the Qi Mansion, small lanterns were hung on the trees, and the lanterns under the corridor illuminated the entire mansion extremely brightly.
But no matter how bright it is, the house is empty, adding a little loneliness. The servant walked through the long corridor to the backyard, where Xi Duyun laid out the food and looked forward to the door, and at the slightest movement, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then quickly dimmed.
"Girl, I haven't seen the figure of the son, maybe I'm too busy to get out, as soon as I get the empty son, I'll rush back as soon as possible, the food is almost cold, or the girl will use it first, you can have a few bites, and it won't get in the way."
As soon as he entered, he saw Xi Duyun's expectant expression, and the attendant couldn't bear to lower his eyes. Why didn't Childe come to the girl first, maybe he should tell Childe, has Miss been waiting for her for a long time?
Twilight shook her head, covered the soup and vegetables, and continued to brace her chin in the direction of the door, which she was about to see through.
"If the girl finds it boring, she can move the table to the courtyard and eat while enjoying the flowers and the moon.
The servant looked at the huge courtyard, and the prince gave the largest courtyard in the house to the girl, and this courtyard alone could hold a small banquet, but Xi Duyun didn't seem to have any friends, and he had never held these. extraordinary
"The Fifth Highness didn't have a chance to come, so I made a few things for them to divide and let people send them over while they were hot. No matter how you say it, it's the New Year, they are far away in Qixian County, and they should be more lively, not deserted. ”
Xi Duyun looked at the courtyard and muttered to herself, the Qiong tree planted in the center of the courtyard had not yet grown new shoots, and it was incompatible with the peach tree in full swing on one side. Xi Duyun hung homemade red envelopes and small lanterns on the peach tree, which looked very good.
Xi Duyu played hide and seek with Cuixin under the tree, but the tree was so small, where could she stop her, and she still had a lot of fun.
"Bring the wine!" Xi Duyun shouted, Xi Duyun ran over and hugged Xi Duyun when he heard the sound, and he didn't know that Xi Duyun was in a bad mood.
"Does my sister want to drink? Can you also have a few sips in Xiaoyu? Or just take a bite. Xi Duyu didn't know what wine was, but she just thought it was funny, so she pestered Xi Duyun to drink, Xi Duyun pinched his little face and ruthlessly refused.
"No, you can't. Xiaoyu is still a child and can't drink, but my sister prepared juice for Xiaoyu in advance, Cuixin, you go and get it and drink it with Xiaoyu. Ali, you and Cuiyun help me put the food and drinks in the courtyard together. ”
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Twilight was in a bad mood, so Cui Xin picked up Xi Duyu and coaxed Xi Duyu to retreat. The servants and Cuiyun also moved all the belongings to the courtyard, and according to Xi Duyun's instructions, they moved a low Arhat bed.
The wine in the house is the osmanthus wine brewed by Xi Duyun, which was brewed in the autumn, and after a few sips, he felt that it was not strong enough, so he asked people to take Chen Nian's daughter Honglai. Xi Duyun treated the wine like water, and Cuiyun didn't know that she was so unpleasant.
Xi Duyun didn't shout, she just drank with her head bored, if she shouted out, Cuiyun still felt a little more feeling. Xi Duyun was so sullen, and the loneliness in her eyes was congestible, and she couldn't bear to look at it.
"Does the girl feel lonely?" Cuiyun didn't know why she asked this, so she subconsciously asked.
Hearing this, Xi Twilight's eyes moved, and she put the wine cup back on the table, pulling the blanket over her body, she was drunk.
"Lonely? I don't know if I'm lonely, but I'm somewhat lonely, inexplicably lonely. Sometimes I don't feel like it, but when I see a fallen leaf, like this empty yard, it's very lonely. ”
Xi Duyun's eyes were dazed, and he turned his gaze to the few peach trees in the yard that were alive, turned over and stumbled to the peach tree, raised his hand to break off a peach tree branch, and stumbled back to lie down on the Luohan bed.
Cuiyun looked at Xi Duyun in a daze, she raised her head and drank a glass of wine, and suddenly grabbed Cuiyun's hand and asked, "Do you understand what I said?" ”
After drinking the banquet, Twilight's hands were a little hot, and Cuiyun was like a wooden pestle on the side, shaking her head, not shaking her head.
She really didn't know how to deal with such a Xi Duyun, Cuiyun was afraid that she would say something wrong, or poke Xi Duyun's sadness, so she cried out directly Cuiyun really didn't know what to do.
Just as Cuiyun was at a loss, a bamboo-colored figure walked in at the door. Cuiyun's eyes lit up, and the stone in his heart was put down. The man raised his hand and motioned for Cuiyun to retreat, and Cuiyun and the servants understood, bowed and retreated.
As soon as Cuiyun left, Xi Duyun's hands were also empty, and she was lying on the Luohan bed and grabbed her hands in the air: "Cuiyun! You don't go. ”
Xi Duyun caught a glimpse of the bamboo-colored hem of his clothes on the side, pulled the man over and sat down, and took advantage of the situation to rest his head on the man's lap.
The visitor looked at Xi Duyun with complicated eyes, raised his hand to carefully help her fix her sideburns, and Xi Duiyun suddenly called, "I don't know." ”
The hand that helped Twilight fix her hair froze in mid-air, and the man took a deep breath and asked amusedly, "What do you call me?" ”
