Seventy-two, the heart
Back in Tingjutang, Zhuo Xi sat down at the table to read a book with a heavy heart, but he didn't even read a word after reading for a long time, and his mind was full of Lan Yang's warm and fiery eyes. She smashed her head with her hand with some annoyance, and scolded in her heart: It's really useless, don't you just have a meal together, as for thinking about it all the time?
Seeing Zhuo Xi smashing her head, she startled Ping'er on the side, she thought that the girl had a fever and headache again, so she hurriedly pulled Zhuo Xi to the side of the bed and let her go to bed to rest.
Zhuo Xi waved his hand at Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, I'm fine, you go and get busy, don't worry about me." ”
"Then what happened to you? Do you have another headache? I'll just say that you have a good fever, let you sleep more in the morning, but Pan'er has to let you get up early to eat, and look at it now It's uncomfortable, right? Ping'er read in pieces as she pulled open the quilt and prepared to let Zhuo Xi go to bed.
Zhuo Xi smiled helplessly, these two maids are too intimate, and sometimes they make themselves feel a little unbearable. She grabbed Ping'er's hand and said, "I'm really fine, it's just... Thinking about something..."
Ping'er looked at her girl in disbelief, do you still need to hit her head when she thinks about something? He asked, "Really?" But what kind of things did the girl not understand? "Ping'er has always thought that her girl is talented, intelligent, blessed and has a great life, and no matter what kind of problem she has, she can solve it easily.
Zhuo Xi was embarrassed to speak, but when he thought about it, sometimes the things he didn't understand might be clearer to others, and besides, he was so intimate to himself Ping'er!
She hesitated, looked at Ping'er and asked, "It's just... Do you think Brother Lanyang is any different from usual? ”
"Lord Lanyang... It's not the same... Nope! Ping'er tilted her head and thought about it, and then said, "If you want to say that it's different, it's that you care about the girl very much." That night, Lord Lanyang just came back and asked Mo Yi to come to visit you, and when I heard that you went to the Moon Pavilion, Lord Lan Yang went to Mr. Hong'an, and the next day he went to the Moon Pavilion again... Listening to Mo Yi, Lord Lanyang was going to bring you back that day, but you didn't even see the girl's face, and Lord Lanyang's face was very ugly when he came back... Girl, Lord Lanyang really cares about you! ”
Concerned about me? Maybe! Maybe I was ashamed that I couldn't bring me back that day, but today I just wanted to make up for it, so I was very enthusiastic, and it should be like this! Thinking like this, Zhuo Xi's heart calmed down a little.
At this time, there was a sound of talking outside the door, and Ping'er hurriedly ran out. After a while, Ping'er walked in with a smile and said to Zhuo Xi: "Look at me and say that Lord Lanyang cares about the girl, right, isn't it a word that Lord Lanyang will feast on the girl in the Shouju Hall at night!" ”
"Brother Lanyang invited me? But why at night? And it's still the torch hall where he lives? Zhuo Xi couldn't help but feel strange.
"Girl, there was originally a garden behind this torch hall, and standing there, you could see the entire Condensation Hall. Because it was inconvenient to go up there halfway up the mountain, it was abandoned later, and now it has been converted into a vegetable garden by Tongbo. Lord Lanyang and Mr. Hongan often go there to play chess and chat, maybe the real purpose of Lord Lanyang inviting the girl is to go there to see the scenery! Ping'er explained with a fluttering eyebrow, and finally added: "Lord Lanyang has never invited any girl to his torch hall!" ”
It's "look at the scene" again, hearing these two words, Zhuo Xi felt a chill in his heart, I hope that Brother Lanyang will not have any other purpose for inviting me! Hehe, why do you think about it more? Zhuo Xi shook his head gently.
Seeing Zhuo Xi shaking her head, Ping'er thought that Zhuo Xi didn't believe it, so she lowered her voice and said, "It's true." Although Lord Lanyang was in charge of the dance choreography of the Condensation Hall, he never had too much interaction with the people of the Condensation Hall. I heard that Lord Lanyang was originally the son of a large family, and he seemed to be some kind of nobleman, but then he didn't know what happened at home, so he came here with Mr. Hongan, and he will definitely leave here in the future. Girl, you should walk around with Lord Lanyang more, maybe I can take you away in the future! ”
Seeing Ping'er so serious, she couldn't help but make Zhuo Xi laugh, she lightly tapped Ping'er's forehead with her fingers, and said, "You, you just think too much a day!" ”
The red sun is sinking in the west, the lights are about to be on, Ping'er and Pan'er are busy grooming Zhuo Xi. Zhuo Xi looked at his appearance in the bronze mirror, and regardless of the opposition of the two maids, he pulled out the golden hairpin on his head one by one, and finally left only a white hosta to hold the bun. Looking at the pink dress on the bed, Zhuo Xi frowned, turned around and found the light green dress she wore on weekdays. What made the two maids speechless the most was that Zhuo Xi asked Pan'er to cook two poached eggs for her!
The two maids stared at Zhuo Xi as they finished eating the two poached eggs, not understanding the girl's intentions at all. And Zhuo Xi didn't bother to care about the reaction of the two maids, she was not sure about this banquet, if Brother Lanyang was still the same as in the morning, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat this meal, so it was better to fill her stomach in advance!
Outside the Torch Hall, Mo Yi was waiting there, and when he saw Zhuo Xi and the three of them coming, he hurriedly greeted him. Mo Yi bowed to Zhuo Xi and said, "Miss Zhuo Xi, please come in, my son-in-law is waiting for you!" Then he said to Pan'er and Ping'er: "Let's just wait outside, we don't have to go in to serve." The two of them nodded indistinctly.
Let her in alone? Zhuo Xi was a little apprehensive in her heart, she had never been alone with Lan Yang.
Zhuo Xi pushed the door and saw Lan Yang sitting quietly at the table flipping through a book, his serious and engaged appearance made his sculptural facial features look elegant and handsome.
There were four plates of cold dishes on the table, as well as a pot of tea. Hearing someone coming in, Lan Yang looked up and saw Zhuo Xi, who was dressed elegantly, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. He put down the scroll and stood up, and said to Zhuo Xi: "My sister is here, but I've been waiting for you for a long time as my brother!" ”
Zhuo Xi saluted Lan Yang and said, "Disturbing my brother, Zhuo Xi is uneasy!" ”
"My sister is too outward, you can come here at any time in the future! Sit down! Lan Yang smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.
Lan Yang is still so gentle, still looking at her with smiling eyes, but this look is not as shallow as before, but has a deep meaning, a deep meaning that wants to pierce the bottom of her heart. Zhuo Xi didn't dare to look at Lan Yang, and sat down opposite him with his head down.
Seeing Zhuo Xi so cautious, Lan Yang smiled faintly and shouted towards the door: "Serve!" ”
After a while, a few servants walked in with hot dishes. Zhuo Xi was very strange and asked, "Who else did my brother invite?" ”
"You're the only one!" Lan Yang smiled and served Zhuo Xi with a dish.
"Then why are there so many dishes?" Zhuo Xi muttered to himself, four cold dishes, three hot dishes, just two of them, can you eat or can I eat them?
Lan Yang looked at her cute appearance and said to her softly: "I saw that you didn't eat well in the morning, so I wanted a few dishes, which are all Mr. Hongan's private dishes." I know you like light, so you make it to your taste. Although the number of servings is more, the amount of each plate is not much, so don't worry, it won't be wasted. "Let's just continue to serve her vegetables.
It's hard to resist the hospitality, Zhuo Xi tasted some of everything, and it was really delicious. Especially there is a plate of cold dishes, sour and sweet, very refreshing, Zhuo Xi couldn't help but nodded and said: "It's really good, it's very palatable, brother bothered!" ”
Lan Yang got up and poured a cup of tea for Zhuo Xi, put it in front of her and said, "Biyun Division's new tea, try it!" ”
The brown color is bright and the aroma is overflowing, Zhuo Xi smelled the familiar taste from it, picked up the cup and took a sip, it was a little spicy, and he was surprised, the pungent taste slowly faded, and a sweetness gradually filled his mouth. This one... It's amazing! Zhuo Xi took two more sips.
Seeing Zhuo Xi immersed in the pursuit of tea, Lan Yang said softly: "The name of this tea is You Si, it is made after listening to your homesickness song, and the tea maker is the Yuzhen girl of Biyun Division..."
Hearing Liu Yuzhen's name, Zhuo Xi raised his head suddenly, and a pair of bright eyes widened and asked, "Sister Yuzhen, she..."
"Don't worry, she's fine! I've already explained that no one will embarrass her. Lan Yang looked at Zhuo Xi with tenderness, this little girl, always thinking about others in her heart.
Not again! Zhuo Xi was furious by Lan Yang's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head to continue tasting tea, leaned slightly and raised his head again and asked, "How did Brother Lan Yang know about Sister Yuzhen?" ”
"Hehe, does this still need to be asked? The day you first came, there was such a big commotion, and the people in the entire Rongfang Hall were spreading about you, otherwise how would Mr. Hongan and I know about you? Lan Yang's eyes showed love, staring straight at her.
"First time..."It was her most sad and helpless day, thinking about Shang Yi and Liu Yuzhen who had helped her, as well as Lanyang in front of her, Zhuo Xi's heart was full of warmth.
This time, Zhuo Xi raised his head and looked at Lan Yang boldly, and said seriously: "Thank you brother for taking care of you!" "When I first saw Lan Yang, I felt as if he had come out of the sun, which brought her hope, and now I feel his enthusiasm...
"Xi'er, don't always be so polite in the future, it's too outward, you know I've always been..." Lan Yang said this, suddenly bit his lip, stopped talking, and just looked at her with infinite tenderness.
The word "Xi'er" made Zhuo Xi's heart throb, and a layer of goosebumps rose on her body, she looked at Lan Yang in some surprise, Lan Yang was staring at her with hot eyes, and immediately lowered her head and fiddled with the teacup in her hand uneasily.
For a while, both of them were silent, they didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward...
"Oh, I brought you some things last time I went out, and I was thinking of asking Wan Tang to pass them on to you... But I don't think you received it. Lan Yang coughed and opened his mouth to break the embarrassing situation.
"Received," Zhuo Xi said with his head down.
"Roger?" Lan Yang was a little surprised, according to Wan Tang's reaction at the time, it would be strange not to throw things away! Then he asked, "Did Wan Tang give it to you?" ”
Zhuo Xi shook his head and said, "It's not Wantang, Wantang asked Eru to throw everything away, but Eru gave it to me." "That's what she heard about when she was in the Miscellaneous House.
"Eru?" A flash of surprise flashed in Lan Yang's eyes, how could E be like a maid who dared to go against her girl's wishes? "Why would she do that?"
"Because... Eru is also a kind girl, she helped me a lot. Zhuo Xi still lowered his head and answered truthfully.
Listening to Mo Yi say that the last time she saw Eru, Eru seemed to be preoccupied, and she wanted to speak several times, presumably she wanted to tell Mo Yi about Zhuo Xi's situation, but she didn't dare to speak under the pressure of Wantang.
"That's because you're kind, so you can always bring out the kindness of others!" Like Wan Tang, everyone feels stupid and disgusted, but Zhuo Xi can always find the good side of others when she looks at people, precisely because her heart is full of beauty!
Zhuo Xi glanced at Lan Yang embarrassedly and said, "Brother praised it!" ”
Lan Yang suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhuo Xi with flashing eyes: "I heard that my sister has greatly improved the dance skills of a group of women in less than three days, how did you do it?" ”
"Actually, I have to thank my brother," Zhuo Xi still didn't dare to look at Lan Yang, stared at the ground and said, "It's the collection of books placed on the Yuxing Platform that helped me, and those women are already good." ”
Lan Yang pondered for a moment and said, "I did give Wan Tang some books on dance exercises before, but she didn't even read them and shelved them. My sister has seen them all? ”
Zhuo Xi nodded slightly and said, "Just a general glance, my brother's writing is very detailed and practical, which has benefited Zhuo Xi a lot!" ”
Lan Yang once again showed a look of appreciation, you must know that many of the books are recorded in dance-specific terms, and Zhuo Xi, who has never been exposed to dance, actually understands it, which is really amazing!
"I also have a lot of books here, and my sister can come to see them at any time if she needs them in the future."
"Thank you, brother, if you are useful in the future, I hope that my brother will give me advice!" Zhuo Xi said humbly.
Lan Yang smiled and said, "If you can come often, I will definitely be very happy." Okay, since my sister is not interested in these meals, then I'll take you somewhere. ”
