The sky was cloudy, and the rain was as thin as silk, drifting softly through the window.

Tsing Yi gently closed the window, and the light passed through the window paper, and it was suddenly obscure.

Li Yan took his eyes off the letter and asked, "Is Miss Chi here?" ”

Today was supposed to be the day when Miss Chi came over, but the situation has been tense recently, and it is a rainy day, and Chi Taishou is mostly reluctant to let her daughter come out-

"Here it is, at the old lady's." Tsing Yi replied.

Li Yan was slightly surprised in his heart, and then said: "Go to the kitchen and take a look, add a few dishes that the pool girl likes to eat-" After thinking about it, "If you have fresh water chestnuts, take some after lunch." ”

Tsing Yi was ordered to leave.

The lights in the house were lit and the lights were restored to brightness.

After Li Yan opened the letter, he rolled up his sleeve and took the pen, and was about to dip it in ink, when he suddenly smelled a trace of osmanthus fragrance.

It's faint and can't be smelled if you don't look closely, but it's there.

There are no osmanthus flowers inside and outside Fangchen Courtyard, this trace of osmanthus fragrance was left when Chi Changting came the night before, and for some reason, it can still be smelled after two nights.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and ordered: "Go and break the osmanthus and insert the vase." ”

……

As soon as Chi Tang stepped into the gate of Fangchen Courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and ran in happily and asked, "Did you make osmanthus cakes?" ”

Li Yan was sitting idly reading a book, when he heard the words, he raised his head and ordered: "Let the kitchen make some osmanthus cakes!" ”

As soon as he said this, Chi Tang knew that he had misunderstood, and he rubbed over embarrassedly, explaining: "There are no osmanthus trees inside and outside Fangchen Courtyard, so I thought it was-ah!" Sweet osmanthus! Chi Tang exclaimed in surprise.

In front of the windowsill, there is a celadon narrow-mouthed vase, and a branch of osmanthus like a golden spike is obliquely inserted at the mouth of the bottle.

The celadon is clear, and the gold cinnamon is bright, and the two are shining, becoming the only bright color in this snow-cave-like room.

It's amazing!

Chitang excitedly circled the osmanthus several angles, and finally decided: "I want to draw it!" ”

After lunch, Chi Tang hurriedly ran into the study, familiarly removed the box containing the paint from the shelf, selected the paints he wanted to use, put them on the table one by one, and then put the box back in its original place.

When I put it down, the corners of my eyes are faintly orange and red.

Chi Tang made a move and moved the box away.

At the back of the box, if someone used Huang Dan to point a stroke, it was not the most beautiful look on the branch, just lying there wilted.

It is the petal of an osmanthus flower, so petite that it is not easy to notice.

Chitang gently lifted it, between his fingertips, delicate and slightly cool, hidden in the rich aroma of golden cinnamon.

Cinnabar osmanthus is a relatively rare variety of osmanthus, and it is not cultivated in Lufu.

Chitang can only know the few trees on Tiger Hill.

Sister Lu has been to Tiger Hill?

was holding the petals in a daze, and suddenly noticed that someone was approaching behind her, Chi Tang subconsciously turned around, but felt that her sleeve was pressed by something, and she pulled it over with that thing.

Oops! Pigment!

Chi Tang hurriedly turned around to rescue.

A hand stretched out behind him and steadily caught the wooden box that was about to land.

Chi Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

This wooden box contains twenty-four porcelain jars containing pigments, twenty-four colors, each color is worth a lot of money, if it is smashed into mixed colors, it is enough to make people feel distressed.

The hand grasped the box from the side and easily returned it to its place.

Chi Tang was stunned for a moment, looked down at his hand, and couldn't help but raise his hand to hold the side of the wooden box.

She struggled to open her palm, barely reaching the upper and lower edges, let alone holding it with one hand like he did.

She went to grab his hand again, but she didn't, and he retracted it.

"Big sister-" Chi Tang turned around, almost sticking to his shirt, and a clear and good smell came to his nose, which immediately dispersed the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

A thought quickly flashed through Chi Tang's mind, and he didn't catch it.

Li Yan put the wooden box away, took a step back to open the distance, and when she saw her look stunned after shouting to herself, she asked, "What?" Where did it hurt? ”

Chi Tang shook his head and went to look for his hand again, but he turned around and went to fiddle with the painting tools on the bookcase.

Chi Tang had no choice but to follow, stared at his hand for a while, then looked at his own hand, and said with emotion: "Big sister, your hand ...... You've got long fingers......"

Usually I only think that his finger bones are slender and his hands are bigger than ordinary girls, but when I compare them today, I find that they are not only bigger, but her hands are like children when compared with Miss Lu's hands.

No wonder he could hold such a thick wooden box with one hand!

But that wooden box contained a full twenty-four porcelain jars, the weight was really not light, she had to hug her arms every time, and the eldest sister held it with one hand, and her strength was so great......

Li Yan put all the painting utensils on the table, turned around, and saw that the little girl Chi was stunned and didn't know what she was thinking, so she asked, "Are you sleepy?" Sleep and then paint? ”

Chi Tang shook his head, he has slept a lot at home these days, and he is in good spirits today.

She raised her hand to pick up the paintbrush, her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the golden cinnamon in the porcelain vase, and suddenly remembered the cinnabar osmanthus petals that had fallen in the chaos just now, and looked down for it, but she didn't find it.

"Looking for what?" Li Yan asked.

Chi Tang raised his head, originally to answer, but when the words came to his mouth, somehow, he changed his sentence: "Big sister, have you been to Tiger Hill?" Have you ever seen the five cinnabar cinnamon trees on the side of the lectern? ”

Li Yan saw the temptation in her eyes and was a little puzzled, but still replied cautiously: "I've seen it before." ”

"Didn't you go to see it this year?" Chi Tang asked.

"Nope." replied.

Chi Tang just "chuckled" in his heart, and heard him say again: "Tsing Yi has gone." ”

Tsing Yi had just entered the door, still holding a jar of acacia flower water in his hand, and after listening to this clueless sentence, he was greeted by the inquiring eyes of the little girl Chi.

Fortunately, she had received strict training, nodded calmly, and calmly sent the locust flower water used to mix the pigment to the water, and left cleanly.

Tsing Yi went, and the petals must have been brought back by Tsing Yi.

After solving the puzzle, Chi Tang lay on the desk without distraction and looked at Jin Gui in front of the window to look and draw, Li Yan took a book and sat on the side, while flipping through it, listening to the sound of her writing and salsa, the sound of dipping water and mixing paint, the sound of rubbing clothes when she looked up, and the chagrin of occasionally drawing a wrong stroke.

Suddenly a little envious of Chi Changting.

Even if you are in a treacherous situation, but the lady is on the side, it is good to be quiet.

Before you know it, the room seems to be getting quieter and quieter.

Li Yan looked up and saw that the little girl in front of the window was no longer so energetic.

He was still holding a paintbrush in his right hand, but his left hand was propping up his head, and he was lying wilted in front of the table.

At this time, the rain suddenly increased, and the sound of the rain startled the little girl Chi and straightened her back.

"Go to sleep." Li Yan stood up and said.

The little girl covered her lips and yawned, and said in a vague voice: "I haven't finished painting yet......"

"I'll draw the rest." Li Yan said.

Chi Tang then lost his pen, rubbed his eyes and went to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, Chi Tang froze and stared straight at the things hanging on the bedside shelf.
