Chapter 16: The Sun of the East (3)
When Xue Jiyi was still in the guest house, Yilan would help her with chores such as carrying water, washing clothes, spearfishing, collecting vegetables, watering flowers, and tidying up the room. Hakka lives by the mountains and rivers, living here without worrying about food and clothing, and can enjoy a rare quiet, she has been living in the hustle and bustle of the troubled times, in fact, she is also unwilling to leave.
That's what she should, he thought.
It's just that no matter how good the place is, it's lonely to live alone. Even if you are doing the work of two people every day, tired and fulfilling, you will inevitably be lonely without someone to talk to.
She should, he thought, too.
But why didn't she think so?
As soon as Xue Jiyi left, she would not be idle all day long.
She looked thin and weak, but she was a particularly hardworking and capable person. After finishing the daily work, I felt that I was in a panic, so I cleaned up the yard endlessly.
Split the trunk and drop the leaves, and then sweep the leaves with a broom, three times a day, so that the insects do not want to come out to climb. Or repeatedly fetch water to wipe the furniture, take the trouble to do it twice a day. The others are quite normal and know how to do moderation, such as cooking only three times a day, probably knowing that if you do too much, you will waste it.
Yes, on the day her grandparents left, she said into the air, "Sir, I'll cook the cooks from now on", and he replied "yes", and the two never communicated again. Even when she cooked the meal, she only left his share in the East Kitchen, and she didn't shout while delivering the meal like before.
Her internal strength has never been abnormal, let alone a reason to take the initiative to talk to him, she just works tirelessly every day, eating, sleeping, and repeating, as if she is only living in her own world, and she has forgotten that he exists.
Seven days passed like this, and she was not annoyed, but he couldn't hold his breath.
“…… Cough. ”
He wanted to deliberately make a sound to get her attention, but he thought it couldn't be too deliberate, so he coughed lightly. There was silence in the courtyard, and his coughing voice was actually very clear, but at that time she was in the study with her head down and wiping the table, as if ...... Didn't hear?
He coughed briefly like this a few times, but she still lowered her head and didn't react at all, so he was a little annoyed, and when he was in a hurry, he was so angry that he really coughed violently.
Yi Lan was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his hand and kept turning his head: "Sir? Are you feeling unwell, sir? ”
He stopped it in time and took a deep breath: "It's okay. ”
Because he took Xue's words to heart, Yi Lan thought about it and persuaded him: "Mr. is so angry because he is worried about the junior, why don't you go to see the real situation of Ling Sun and save him?" ”
...... "How do you let me answer?"
As soon as he was silent, Yi Lan knew that he was an outsider who was making people unhappy, so he apologized embarrassedly and continued to wipe the table.
Xuan sighed: "You don't have to do these things every day. There is no such thing as a spotless world, and too pure can easily lose its authenticity. ”
The rag in her hand was frightened off, fell into the bucket and splashed her skirt, she quickly fished it out, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go out." ”
For some reason, she seemed to be afraid of him, which was not the case with her grandmother.
Yi Lan picked up the bucket and was about to leave with her skirt, but Xuan Yu stopped her in a loud voice: "I see that you like to clean up this study the most, and when you clean it, you will look at the books in the bookcase intentionally or unintentionally." ”
Yi Lan immediately stopped in place.
"If you're interested, read it." He said, "Instead of doing these meaningless things, I should read a few more books." ”
“…… If you look ugly, you have to read more? Yi Lan suddenly said this, I don't know if he was talking to himself.
...... "From which sentence did you say to draw this conclusion?"
However, she seemed to be in a much better mood than Shicai, put down the bucket, looked back at the bookcase and said, "Don't hide it, sir, I am ...... Some want to see it, since the gentleman has spoken, the younger generation is disrespectful. ”
In fact, she was not as restrained and polite as he imagined.
This ended the daily routine of sweeping the yard and cleaning the house, and after doing what he had to do every day, Yi Lan went to the study to read.
She said: "I was late in literacy, and until now, I can't read all the words with a slightly more complex structure. I don't particularly want to learn, so I usually look at pictures a lot. However, when I saw so many books, I was inevitably a little curious. ”
It was about his side that took the initiative, making her realize that she didn't bother the owner here as an uninvited guest, and she gradually let go.
Indeed, she will ...... almost every book I read all the names, but what I really took out and looked through was only a book of poems. She said that she had read this poem before, and although it was all ballads made up by the people of the previous dynasty, there were many complicated words, which was very interesting.
She spread out the book, starting with the first one, and read it word by word in a low voice.
As soon as he found that she had paused for a long time, and knew that she could not read it, he would open his mouth and tell her how to read the word. At first she was frightened and unaccustomed, but after only two days, she took it for granted that he taught her to read poetry.
In addition to reading, but also writing, and memorization thoroughly. It can be seen that the ink in her belly is indeed pitiful, and her mind is not particularly smart, but she is willing to work hard. The handwriting is not beautiful, but it is very neat, and at a glance, you can see that it has been practiced with heart. A poem can be written several times and read dozens of times to be fully memorized, stupid, but cute.
Because he knew that she was a killer, he felt that she had been in a very intense special training since she was a child, and it was normal for her to read late and read less.
Although he could see her every move, he was hidden from the side after all, and he couldn't see the details clearly. Once she boiled fish soup, because it took a long time to boil, and while waiting, she went to the study to write and write poems.
Estimating that the time was up, she put down her pen and quickly ran to the east kitchen, where he was able to see half of her work in advance.
Fang walked over to the table, the west wind sweeping the leaves through the gauzeless panes, ruffling the pages and the inked paper. He raised a hand and pressed down on her unfinished poem, but he didn't have time to stop the pages from flying.
He squinted his eyes at the handwriting that was improving every day, and glanced at the pages that had stopped cluttering, slightly stunned.
"The sun in the east, the son of the other sister, is in my room."
The poem was relatively far behind, and she hadn't seen it yet, and she didn't even know if three months would be enough time for her to read the rest of the poems.
But—
He tilted his head to look at the sunlight that shone through the green leaves on the ground, and pulled his lips slightly.
But it's the right time.
Although she is a rabbit, she loves to eat fish and also likes to cook fish. Those fish in the Chaoyue Sea, even if Xue Jiyi always changed the taste for him, he was tired of eating them for nearly three years.
In fact, her cooking is average, worse than what Xue Jiyi does, and he is still a little uncomfortable when he changes his taste at first glance.
…… But now he dislikes it, who is willing to do it for him in the future.
Although he is not a difficult lord to serve, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has suffered the hardest hardships in martial arts, and he deserves the best blessings in his daily life, so he is still a little picky in all aspects of food, clothing and housing. Coming to Chaoyuehai to live in seclusion only accompanied by his grandparents, in fact, he has changed his bad habit of stretching out his hands to eat and open his mouth, not to mention the quiet environment here, there is nothing to be faulty.
The third time he drank the fish bones from the fish soup she had boiled, he noticed that his mood had changed.
As long as it's done by someone you like, everything is good.
Realizing that he was in love with a rabbit, he also sat quietly and doubted life.
Thinking about her, there is nothing special about her, she is not smart, and she likes to be surprised, and she guesses that her appearance is not much better with the sentence "If you look ugly, you have to read more", and even now he is the mode of getting along with him between "old gentleman" and "junior", how can he still treat her-
For the time being, he attributed the reason to the fact that he had never seen any women since he was a child. In addition to his mother and grandmother, there seem to be only two people, Fang Zhujing and Bu Songsong.
Fang Zhujing has been setting up the character of "Iceberg Beauty" for the future Fengyue of Chongxiao Pavilion, and he has always had a cold face and no one is close, and the most important thing is that he has made a private agreement with Shen Ziqi for life.
Bu Songzhu is the complete opposite of Fang Zhujing - it's so babbling that it makes people feel like they have raised a room of ducks. I remember once being asked why he, Cheng Yu and Shen Ziqi were all called "little brother" instead of their names, she said, "They are just friends, and the name of my brother looks like a", and the co-author has no idea about him at all.
Yes, it's because the women I see can be counted on one hand, and they all know each other well, and they know each other so well that their black history is vividly remembered to the extent of their purpose, so it is naturally difficult to be emotional.
That's right, that's it, so it's his loss to meet and like this rabbit, the rivers and lakes are so big, there must be better ones waiting for him to like.
Forget about this flag, let's stand it later, this face will really be beaten again, and I really can't ask for it.
"Sir, I heard from your mother-in-law that you like rabbits?"
It's rare that she took the initiative to talk to him, not when he was reading and writing, he just didn't know how to answer and had to say.
“…… It's OK. "Under the world, there is only this one.
"Are rabbits easy to feed?"
"Hmm." Not only is it easy to feed, but it can also feed him.
"Alas, I also suggested raising rabbits in the villa at the beginning, no matter what, the rabbits are only vegetarians, but Hehe doesn't know where to get a cat, and now the whole village is raising it, and there is no heart to raise rabbits."
“…… There are hundreds of people in your mountain villa, and you only have one cat? ”
"Because it's hard to raise, I've never seen such a difficult cat. It looks okay, but its temper is too big, and when it sees people, it scratches it, and it is full of hair when it is fed and fed. It's easy not to scratch people, but no one is close, and I sleep after eating every day, and when someone approaches, I will be alert and then blow up. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's been almost a year, and no one in the villa can hug it, and you have to go around when you see it walking in the yard." ”
"......" doesn't stew and keep it for the New Year?
Then everyone started a gambling game to see who would be the first to hold it. Everyone in the villa began to eat and drink well, and as soon as they were free, they went around the cat, and there was hardly anyone who was not scratched because of 'malicious approach'. Once Brother Xiang stopped by to take a look, he also said, 'You lack ancestors in the South China Sea'. She smiled helplessly, "It's been three or four months since the gambling game, and I don't know if anyone has won the bet now." ”
Xiang Xi, the deputy leader of the Fushen Beiyuan branch, had heard of it.
No, he can't be as unfocused as she is.
As soon as the words fell, he chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, she paused for a moment and said, "...... It's been so many days. ”
How? Where more? He made an appointment with his grandfather and grandmother for three months.
"Sir, the juniors have been bothering here for many days, and it's time to leave."
Don't go.
"If you are grateful, the juniors won't say much, but the great grace of Mr. and mother-in-law Yilan is unforgettable, as long as the two of you encounter a problem, you can go to the Linghai Haishan Villa to find the juniors, and the juniors will swear to serve."
