Chapter 14 Revisiting the Old Place
Qiu Lin had nothing to do after breakfast, and wanted to revisit his hometown while Wen Qixiao was not in the mansion, so he found Steward Liu and explained that he wanted to visit the Qi Palace, so Steward Liu sent a small servant to lead the three of them around the palace.
After a while, I came to the outside of the study, the study was closed, and Qiu Lin couldn't get in. Qiu Lin looked at the closed door and couldn't help but think of the old days:
"Brother Qi Xiao, let's take a rest first! Guess what soup I stewed for you? Liu Jingyi put down the tray in her hand, snatched the pen in Wen Qixiao's hand, and pushed the tray forward.
Wen Qixiao also let her, took her hand and let her sit on his lap, touched her frozen hands dotingly, and said: "Didn't I tell you, don't come here if it's so cold this day, just let these little things be done by the next person, don't freeze yourself, I will be distressed." ”
Liu Jingyi pouted and said coquettishly: "But I just like to watch Brother Qi Xiao eat it with my own eyes!" If you are sent by someone below and you always forget to eat when you are busy, how can you work so hard and not eat some supper to make up for it? ”
Wen Qixiao hugged her and kissed her little face, and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" My little Jingyi can do whatever she wants! When I'm done eating, you can go back and rest early. A hand pulled the tray over and was about to open the lid.
Liu Jingyi took his hand and continued to coquettishly say, "Brother Qi Xiao, you haven't guessed what kind of soup it is!" ”
"Hehehe...... Okay~ Let me guess what soup my little Jingyi sent me, um~ It's my favorite lotus root pork rib soup! Wen Qixiao teased her.
"Hmph~ It's not fun! It's a guess every time, and it's not fun at all! ”
……
"Brother Qi Xiao, what do you think of my painting?" Liu Jingyi ran over happily and put the painting she painted on the desk in front of Wen Qixiao as if offering a treasure.
Wen Qixiao looked at the very strange painting in front of him, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't understand what this painting was, and asked with a frown, "What are you painting?" It's weird, how can there be three eyes? Like a monster. ”
"Hee-hee-hee...... I'm drawing the Three-Eyed Monster! What do you think? Scary or not? Wen Jingyi lay on the desk with her upper body lying on the desk, smiling at Wen Qixiao.
Wen Qixiao said: "What are you painting this for?" It's not good-looking, it's weird and scary. ”
Liu Jingyi said coquettishly: "Brother Qi Xiao, you can make me a kite!" It's nice to have a few more tails glued underneath. ”
Wen Qixiao scratched her little nose: "Okay! Whatever you want! When we're done, let's fly a kite. ”
"Great!" Liu Jingyi jumped up with joy.
……
Qiu Lin glanced at the study again and turned around and continued to walk forward, turning around and unconsciously came to the back garden, all the way, the places he saw were the same as the scene in his memory, this pavilion and pavilion had hardly changed, as if it was still in the time of ten years ago, it was just those flowers and trees that changed. There is a small hill in the garden, which is the highest point in the garden, and it has a panoramic view of the entire garden.
Autumn rain came to the pavilion on the hillside and looked around at the beautiful scenery, lotus ponds, rockeries, meadows, flower beds, groves...... There are so many fond memories in this garden:
Liu Jingyi held the kite reel in her left hand and pulled the kite reel in her right hand, shouting to Wen Qixiao as she ran: "Brother Qi Xiao, let it go!" Okay, I'll be able to fly this time. ”
Wen Qixiao let go of the three-eyed monster kite in his hand when he heard this, and watched it slowly rise up little by little.
Liu Jingyi saw that the kite really flew this time, and she was very happy, and the laughter was crisp and pleasant. But before it could fly high, the kite fell down in three circles. The little face immediately praised it, and said aggrievedly: "I'm so stupid!" You can't fly no matter how you fly. Brother Qi Xiao, am I very useless, I can't even fly a simple kite, it's too embarrassing. ”
Wen Qixiao stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, kissed her on the forehead dotingly, and coaxed: "My little Jingyi won't be okay, I'll show you." Then he picked up the kite, threw it into the sky, pulled the rope a few times, and the kite flew up.
"Wow~~ Great! It's flying! ”
"Brother Qi Xiao, fly higher...... Fly a little higher...... Fly a little higher......"
……
"Brother Qi Xiao, I want to eat lotus pod!" By the lotus pond, Liu Jingyi shook Wen Qixiao's hand coquettishly.
Wen Qixiao responded as usual: "Okay~ I'll take it off for you." ”
One got up and jumped to the top of the lotus pond, a few dragonflies under his feet dotted the water, and there were a few more lotus canopies in his hands, and he turned around and flew back to Liu Jingyi's side, handing her the lotus canopy in his hand.
Liu Jingyi took the lotus canopy, her eyes rolled slightly, and then pointed to a small boat next to her, and said, "Brother Qi Xiao, it's not much fun to eat like this, anyway, you're here to play with me today, why don't we take this boat and row to the lotus pond to pick and eat." ”
"Hmm!" Wen Qixiao has always been a man of few words, and likes to express directly with actions, as long as she makes a request, he will meet her. He took her little hand and got into the boat and let her sit in the bow, and he sat in the stern of the boat and paddled his oars to the lotus spot. I picked a few lotus pods one after another and handed them to her, holding a lotus heart that I dug out the lotus seeds and then peeled off the coat and slightly bitter lotus heart, and as soon as I reached out, I sent the peeled lotus seeds to her mouth.
Liu Jingyi happily opened her mouth and asked him to bring the lotus seeds to her mouth, smiling so that her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, which was very good-looking: "Delicious!" And slightly sweet! ”
Wen Qixiao kept his hands on it, continued to peel the lotus seeds, and looked at her with very gentle eyes: "If you like to eat, then pick more, and let the kitchen make lotus seed cake and lotus seed soup for you." ”
"Hmm~ Brother Qi Xiao still understands me and knows that I love lotus seed cake and lotus seed soup."
This time, Wen Qixiao picked a lot of lotus flowers, so that Liu Jingyi could eat enough. She likes it, and he spoils it.
……
Walking along the way, all kinds of beautiful scenes of the past appear in front of you: flying kites on the lawn, picking lotus flowers and picking lotus canopies in the lotus pond, putting wishing lanterns on the hillside, swinging under the big trees, and playing hide and seek in the rockery...... It's as if it happened yesterday, so clear, so real. If it weren't for the tragedy ten years ago, her parents and family in this other world would not have been wiped out by the whole family, and she and Brother Qi Xiao would not have been forced to separate, they would still continue to live happily here. It's a pity that there is no if, the dog emperor can't tolerate her Liu family, and she and Brother Qi Xiao are destined to have no good results.
There's no going back.
Everything here no longer belongs to her.
The love of his parents, the love of his brothers, the company of his family, and the love of Brother Qi Xiao, all of this has gone with the wind......
All that belonged to her were the memories.
Two lines of clear tears couldn't help but flow down without realizing it.
"Childe, look! There's a canary on that tree, it's so beautiful! Son? Childe ......" Meng Xi called her master a few times but did not respond, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Qiu Lin to check, afraid that she would have any discomfort.
Qiu Lin was sobered up by Meng Xi's help, and found that they had come to the edge of the grove, and then felt that their faces were a little wet, and when they touched it, they were tears. Why is she crying? I still can't put it down.
Qiu Lin asked, "Mengxi, what's wrong?" ”
"Childe, there's a canary over there, and it's in good condition." Meng Xi saw that her master was not uncomfortable, and her heart relaxed.
"Where?"
Meng Xi pointed to the position for Qiu Lin to see: "On that tree, you see, it's on that branch." ”
Qiu Lin looked over with the direction pointed by Meng Xi, and there was really a canary, with a golden yellow body without a trace of variegation, and the appearance was really superb.
This canary Qiu Jing will like it very much.
Do what you think.
Qiu Lin instructed: "Li Yi, catch it and give it to the little boy." ”
"Yes! Son! As soon as Li received the order, he went to catch the canary.
