Chapter 237: Wait for Me
Last night with Xie Chiying, Jinghu also specially asked her where the green corridor was as described by Ke Ming, and where the inner courtyard where the old lady of the Xie family lived.
Since everyone specially told her the route he took to the inner courtyard, how could she not bet on him.
As Jinghu thought, the Green Corridor was the one she passed by on the first day she entered Xie's house, and on one side was Bibo Lake, the largest lake on the boundary of the three-room area.
On the other side, there are beautifully carved wooden windows, and the bamboo shadows behind the windows are swaying, full of greenery, which makes people feel cool in summer.
Jinghu sat on one side of the corridor early in the morning, waiting for Ke Mingxu to come into the inner courtyard to say hello to his grandfather. I folded a blade of grass and shook it boringly in my hand.
Doctor Zhu had already entered the house yesterday, greeted Mrs. Xie Si, and lived in a small courtyard not far from the young women. Jinghu got up early today, and went to see Cyanqing again, and she didn't feel any discomfort anymore.
Now that there is a doctor by his side, everyone can rest assured.
I got up early in the morning, but still because of excitement, at this time, I sat here alone and waited, and was swept by the cool and not too cold wind by the lake in the early morning, Jinghu was a little confused, and leaned his head on the pillar on the side.
"Be careful."
Jinghu was pulled by someone, and he suddenly came to his senses, and only then did he see where he was. The Xie family's green corridor has no backrest behind the seats, which is not like their lakeside corridor.
She was about to fall asleep at once, and the whole person fell backwards, although not to fall into the lake, and to fall on the cobblestone ground behind her, which was enough to choke.
Jing Hu was scared in his heart, and stood up suddenly, "Master Xiao Ke." ”
"Why are you asleep here, and you don't have anyone with you?"
Jinghu felt a little embarrassed inexplicably, but just looked at him with his head held high, with a look of "you know".
Ke Mingxu let go of his hand, and there was a faint anger in his smile, "I thought you would be waiting here yesterday." ”
Jing Hu's eyes lit up suddenly, "It turns out that Master Xiao Ke is also waiting for me." ”
Wearing it like this, it suddenly becomes meaningless.
Ke Mingxu returned to his usual appearance, with one hand behind his back, and walked forward with Jinghu. "I stayed at Xie's house for two days, but are you still used to it? In a trance, I heard that the doctor had been sought in the hospital the night before. ”
"I saw the little county lord yesterday, but it didn't seem to be anything, so I didn't ask. What's wrong? ”
He seemed to care more about her than he ever did.
Jing Hu answered his previous question first, "The Evening Courtyard is very good, there is nothing unaccustomed." Sister Ying will also be with me whenever she is free, and she is no different from the boat. ”
"As for the doctor, there is indeed such a thing, but it's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's a maid in my yard. She was afraid that she would tire me out, so she didn't tell me that she was uncomfortable, and she ended up making trouble until midnight. ”
"But don't worry, Master Ke, I've already invited Dr. Zhu over, if she has any discomfort, there is no need to trouble the Xie family. Naturally, if I feel unwell, I can also find Dr. Zhu. ”
Ke Mingxu nodded, "Since it's okay, it's the best." ”
As they spoke, they had already walked to the small lake near Xie Chiying's yard.
Jinghu remembered what he fed the fish yesterday, "How do these fish seem to be unable to eat enough no matter how much they eat, I think if I feed them here for a day, they can eat for a day." ”
"You feed here for a day, and it's always the big fish that can eat the most. Small fish can't grab big fish, so naturally they can only keep guarding. By the way, I saw a golden carp in this lake when I was a child, I wonder if the little county lord saw it yesterday? ”
Jinghu never doubted his words, "Golden carp? Didn't see it. ”
Ke Mingxu said: "It's very rare, and I've only seen it once when I was a child." It is said that when you see a golden carp, you can make your wishes come true. ”
Jinghu didn't know that there was such a thing, and he was even more curious about things he hadn't seen. "Then I'll go back and ask the mother-in-law who cares about this and Xiaohu, in case Master Xiao Ke lied to me."
Ke Mingxu suddenly stopped, and his tone was gentle, "What did I lie to you about." I just thought it was funny, so I just said it casually. ”
Jinghu asked him, "When Lord Xiao Ke saw that golden carp, did he have any wishes?" ”
He smiled, "At that time, my mother and grandfather were planning to send me to study at Songshi Academy. ”
Jinghu pouted, "That's not because of this carp, it's obviously because your talent and knowledge are very good." ”
Therefore, people should not actually hope for these things of gods and ghosts, and the things that are in their hearts also need unremitting efforts. As long as you can do what you want, it will naturally be what you want. ”
"Oh." Jinghu responded. But if you could have done it yourself, then what kind of wish is it?
It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what it is not, and it is better to maintain a little reverence for the things of ghosts and gods.
"That's right." Ke Mingxu looked at her, "Tomorrow is my grandfather's birthday, and the status of the little county lord is noble, so don't go over to celebrate my grandfather's birthday." Just wait for Sister Ying and them to come to find you and go to the banquet. ”
Jinghu nodded. She knew that the reason why people outside were so polite to her was because she was the daughter of King Yongning. In the same way, some of her actions outside will be more or less considered to be from the instructions of the Yongning County Palace.
She wrote a letter about her going to Xie's house as a guest and sent it to her mother. She never dared to open the reply she received, for fear that her mother would object, and she disobediently did what her mother opposed.
As long as she doesn't know, she can pretend that she didn't mean to, she really knows how to make a fool of herself.
And his father is standing behind the prince, and the Xie family is the head of the Jiangnan clan, and he doesn't know what the head of the Xie family thinks. There will be so many guests tomorrow, so it's better to keep a low profile.
"I see. Sister Ying is also very busy tomorrow, if I am bored, I will come to this lake and wait for the golden carp to appear. ”
The old lady of the Xie family celebrates her birthday, if the Yongning County Mansion wants to give a gift, they will arrange it themselves, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
But after all, she didn't want to say anything, but fortunately, Jing Xun also collected a few jars of good wine for her, so she took this as the main thing, and added some silver taels.
The birthday gift has already been sent in advance, so she will arrange herself tomorrow.
Walking further, it was almost the courtyard of the old lady of the Xie family, so Ke Mingxu stopped here to talk to her.
Jinghu also knew that it was not good for him to follow him again, so he said goodbye to Ke Mingxu and watched him walk straight inside.
Her grandmother had also held birthday feasts in the past, and she certainly knew what it was like to celebrate birthdays. But a person like Ke Mingxu wants to dress festively, kowtow to others, and say auspicious words, she really can't imagine what it will be like.
