Chapter Eighty-Seven: Harmony
The days passed quickly, and a few days before the Spring Court, I was talking to others that the winter in the south would also freeze to death, and in a blink of an eye, I changed into light clothes, shaking a small fan every day, and I didn't see the temperature drop even in October.
Brother Yan is about to turn one year old, and these days the whole courtyard is busy with Brother Yan'er's weekly ceremony, this is a big deal, and no one dares to delay.
I forgot that the birthday of the Spring Court was also in October, and this year, after the birthday, the Spring Court will be fifteen. Although Chunting is a subordinate, the ceremony of the autumn branches in the first month is also very lively, and it is the turn of Chunting to become uncaring.
Even Chunting himself didn't pay much attention, but two days before his birthday, Qiu Zhi suddenly remembered, and hurriedly went to Yinlou to buy a pair of hairpins to apologize to Chunting.
Chunting's birthday is on the ninth day of October, and Brother Yan'er's weekly ceremony is on October 12, the days are too close, and Chunting himself doesn't care too much about this, so he said that everyone will have a lively meal together. Now it can only be like this, Qiu Zhi is still quite guilty, and what an important thing it is, so he was fooled.
After Ji Xuan, she is a big girl, but Chunting still looks like a child, and looking at you with a pair of apricot eyes can make people's hearts soften. Bai Huanru heard this, and rewarded a hosta and two jade bracelets, which should be to compensate for the Spring Court.
On the ninth day of the new year, the spring court was dragged up from the bed by the autumn branch early in the morning, in the past, the spring garden was earlier than the autumn branch, and today it is rare for the autumn branch to get up a little earlier, dragging the spring garden that is still confused to dress up and wash.
As soon as the cold water splashed on her face, Chun Ting was excited, completely sobered up, and watched in a daze as Qiu Zhi took a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets off her face, and then pressed her in front of the dressing table.
Qiu Zhi is not dexterous among several big girls, but he has served Bai Huanru for so many years, and it is not too difficult to comb his hair. In a few clicks, he pulled up Chunting's hair, the bun was delicate and beautiful, and the hosta that Bai Huanru rewarded was inserted in his hair, and he picked a pair of glazed earrings. Qiu Zhi even took out his treasured rouge gouache, and after applying the powder to Chunting, he felt deliberate, so he simply wiped it all and only ordered a little lipstick.
Looking at the little girl reflected in the mirror, her willow eyebrows were crooked, her eyes were full of water, and the autumn branches were very proud. Chunting felt a little uncomfortable, she had never dressed up so solemnly, she only felt uncomfortable anywhere.
Chunting looked at Qiu Zhi in embarrassment, and Qiu Zhi knew what she was going to say at a glance, "How beautiful is this, today is your ceremony, even if the number of etiquette is saved, don't you want to dress up beautifully?" You go out happily like this, and let them all take a good look at how good-looking our Spring Garden girl is! ”
Although it is a birthday, what should be done still has to be done, Chun Ting Yuan still felt that this body was too ostentatious, but Zhu Shi, who helped Brother Yan to walk, also said that it was good, Bai Huanru also said that the girl's family should be dressed like this, and Chunting just didn't pay attention to these things on weekdays, so Chunting put his mind at ease.
When I didn't have a spare time in the morning, Qin Di came over during lunch, and half-jokingly: "Haven't you seen it, when Sister Chunting went to find Mother Li in the big kitchen, her youngest son was there, and when I saw Sister Chunting's eyes, my eyes were straight!" ”
A few little girls laughed, and Chun Ting blushed and hammered the flute, "You are used to talking nonsense, and you can't stop your mouth when you eat!" ”
Qin Di smiled and dodged, "Sister Chunting is too shy to admit it!" ”
Qiu Zhi knocked on the table, "Okay, okay, it's enough, there is still a lot of work to do in the afternoon, and when you want to make trouble in the evening, what should you do after eating!" ”
Qin Di stuck out his tongue and went around to the side, not saying anything about it again, but from time to time he looked at Chunting with admiration in his eyes.
After lunch, Chunting was about to go to the East Chamber, but was stopped by Qiu Zhi, who stuffed a list into Chun Ting's hand, "I'm going to the back warehouse, I don't worry about those little girls, I have to keep an eye on them." You help me go to the kitchen to check the dishes on this list again, and I can find Mother Li! ”
Chun Ting glanced at the list and should come down, "Cheng, you go quickly, I'll go to the big kitchen." ”
In the morning, I went to the big kitchen to make a new snack, which was not available in the small kitchen, and Chunting led the piano and flute to get it. I didn't think I would have to run in the afternoon, and seeing that a few small ones were also busy, Chunting went to the big kitchen by himself.
Chunting is not familiar with the road outside, and she doesn't go out much, so she follows the road she usually walks, and she looks down at the list on the road and doesn't pay attention, and as a result, she bumps into someone else.
This hit was not light, Chun Ting covered her forehead and was about to apologize, but when she looked up, she saw Luo Yu standing in front of her and looking at her with a smile.
Chun Ting was stunned for a moment, when did Luo Yu come? Why didn't she hear anything at all?
I haven't seen it for more than half a year, Luo Yu's figure has grown a little longer, and a shadow fell in front of Chun Ting, just covering the little girl inside, and when he lowered his head, he could just see the little girl's stunned expression. The little girl has been carefully dressed, and even her hair is exquisite, which is really beautiful.
It's not a loss that it's the girl he fancies, Luo Yu thought.
Luo Yu stretched out his hand and poked the back of Chun Ting's hand, "What are you going to do when you leave in such a hurry?" ”
As if it had been burned by fire, Chunting jumped back a step, and then saluted Luo Yu, and before he could squat down, he was helped up by Luo Yu.
"Why can't this problem be fixed......" Luo Yu muttered, smoothing out the wrinkled sleeves of his shirt that he had just scratched, "Don't salute me next time, what do you do with it when everyone is uncomfortable." ”
Chun Ting quickly looked around, and saw no one else, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and kept his distance from Luo Yu. She has already figured out these days, since it is destined to be fruitless, it is better to break it as soon as possible, and when it is broken, it will continue to be chaotic.
In the past half a year, Luo Yu has not tried to find Chunting, but he has been rejected by Chunting with various reasons. Huaiyang Shaoling and Shaoling two places come and go for four or five days, Luo Yu still has to take care of the Luo family's affairs, it is impossible to spend a lot of time on this, and it is impossible to live in Huaiyang, Chunting originally thought that Luo Yu should also die of heart, but when I see it today, I am afraid that this is not the case.
Luo Yu didn't notice the strangeness of Chun Ting, took out a brocade box and handed it to Chun Ting, "Happy birthday." ”
Happy birthday, my little girl.
But Chunting was not as surprised as Luo Yu expected, but his face became more and more pale, the hands holding the list were shaking, the paper made a "bang, bang, bang", and Luo Yu, who listened to it, gradually smiled.
"What's wrong with you? But I'm not feeling well......"
"Little Marquis, the slave maid still has an errand to do, so I will retire first." Chun Ting didn't wait for Luo Yu to finish speaking, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Luo Yu.
"Spring Garden!" For the first time, Luo Yu spoke loudly to Chunting like this, pulling people in front of him, "What do you think?" ”
"That's what you think, isn't it?!" Chun Ting shook off Luo Yu's hand, and there was a bit of hysteria in his voice, "Luo Yu, why can't you see clearly?" What else do you want? Do you want me to be your concubine? I don't want to! I'd rather marry a steward and a farmer, I don't want to be a concubine for someone else! ”
"I said you would be my wife!" Luo Yu held Chunting's shoulder, his eyes were quite shocked, "I said that I would let you stand by my side in a dignified manner, and I would marry you." ”
"Aren't you realistically bad? I'm just a maid, a subordinate! ”
Chun Ting broke free of Luo Yu's hand and inadvertently knocked the brocade box in Luo Yu's hand to the ground, and there was a sound of jade shattering inside, both of them stood up, and looked at the brocade box together.
Chun Ting snorted, saluted stiffly, and his voice was still a little choked, "I still hope that the little marquis is self-respecting, and the slave and maid still have errands to do, so I will retire first." ”
Luo Yu stood there and didn't speak again, and only after Chunting walked away did he pick up the brocade box, and when he opened it, there was a pipa comb that had been broken into several pieces.
This is what he painted himself, picked a piece of jade from the treasury that his mother was reluctant to use, and invited the best master in Shaoyang to make it. He remembered that Chunting liked this style, and when he was on the road, he was very happy even when he received the rough pipa comb that Luo Yu made himself, if he saw this, he should be very happy, right?
But Chunting didn't even look at it, and the pipa comb was already broken.
Luo Yu came a few days in advance under the pretext of grabbing the Zhou ceremony to participate in the banquet, because he wanted to surprise her on Chunting's birthday, who knows, it will be like this.
Chun Ting walked briskly all the way, and only stopped when he couldn't see Luo Yu, and wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately. There was nothing to take care of in this place, and I didn't know if my hair was messy, so I had to comb my hair with my hand and force myself to walk to the big kitchen.
Luo Yu's appearance disrupted everything she was indifferent, she was like a child who couldn't get what she wanted, she wanted it so much, but she wanted it so much, but she wanted to pretend that she didn't like it. When Yanni had candy to eat when she was a child and she didn't, she would pretend that she didn't like sweets, but now that she's older, she will only act more like it, as if this way she can maintain that precarious self-esteem.
This year's birthday, there is longevity, and there are blessings from sisters close to her, but Chunting doesn't feel a little happy, even if she is smiling, but there is a place in her heart that is quietly shedding tears, just like a knife inserted into it little by little, and she has been numb from the pain.
But when no one could see it at night, Chunting pressed the wooden pipa comb to his heart, and lay on the bed like a puppet, tears running down his porcelain-white cheeks and on the pillow, wetting a large piece of fabric.
No one knows that there is a girl who breaks her girl's heart and leaves it in the night, and when the night subsides, her heart will no longer throb.
