Chapter 285: Summer

May of the thirty-first year of Kangxi.

Although it seems that it has only just entered summer, the capital is really hot and dizzy.

Gu Qinghuan woke up early in the morning and heard the sound of water dripping beside him, only to realize that the ice cubes in the ice basin were gradually melting, and drop by drop fell into the basin.

"Sister Qinghuan is awake?"

Ah Shuang also didn't sleep well all night.

Naturally, she couldn't use ice in the house. Fortunately, there are quite a lot of bamboos near Gu Qinghuan's yard here, and he can fall asleep with a mat at night.

"Well, it's a little hot."

Gu Qinghuan glanced at the two ice basins on the side of the bed, and said, "Actually, they don't have to work so hard in the late spring." I have to change the ice basin at night..."

If only there was air conditioning.

Gu Qinghuan thought so, and suddenly said, "Ah, what time is it?" ”

It's a rare day off. She and Yinzhen had already made an appointment to meet at the tea shop.

A few days ago, when it was still summer, Gu Qinghuan took advantage of the rest and wanted to ask Yinzhen to go to a nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing to enjoy the flowers. Can...

As soon as Mama Gui heard that Gu Qinghuan was going to "go far away", she immediately picked up and wanted to follow.

Several attempts of persuasion were really ineffective, so Gu Qinghuan had no choice but to give up this idea, and by the way, he sent Wuyue to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion to inform her that she was going to be a goo essence today.

Goo Goo... Naturally, it's the pigeons.

It was Yinzhen who she made an appointment, and she was the last to release the pigeons. Speaking of which... It's a bit embarrassing.

Just that time...

Wuyue went late.

Yin Zhen, like every time he made an appointment with Gu Qinghuan, he would set off a long time in advance. When Wuyue had just arrived at the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, she saw the wilted little Shunzi at the door.

Little Straight... was left in the house to take care of the family.

After listening to Xiao Shunzi's words, Wuyue first asked Xiao Shunzi to tell Gu Qinghuan about the situation here, and then went to chase Yinzhen.

Fortunately... Wuyue's legs and feet are sharp, and he finally caught up with Yinzhen at the city gate. It's just just exactly... There was something going on over there in the Ministry of Rites, and Yinzhen couldn't meet Gu Qinghuan, so he hurried back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Gu Qinghuan was a little depressed.

It's not that she was depressed and changed her hexagram temporarily, but that she didn't consider the situation on her side, so she made an appointment with Yinzhen indiscriminately.

Mama Gui...

I'm worried about her safety when she goes out. After all, a royal Fujin to be married is going to the outskirts of Beijing, and if there are suitable guards to follow Gu Mansion, her worries are also reasonable.

Although Gu Qinghuan knows it himself. Whether there is a moon or not, there will be nothing in the general petty fight.

Today is different.

It's just that I went to the tea shop, but Mama Gui didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Gu Qinghuan went back to his house to make up his makeup, in case he was spoiled by sweating during the meal, so he hurriedly went out.

On the second floor of the tea shop, Yinzhen had already asked Su Peisheng to prepare an ice basin.

When Gu Qinghuan opened the curtain and entered the house, he saw Yinzhen who was drinking tea calmly, and said, "Am I late?" ”

"It's me early." Yin Zhen smiled helplessly and said, "I was not good last time." I have something to do halfway, otherwise I can come to the tea shop to see you. ”

It's not easy for them.

I used to see it every day, but now I'm going to get married, and I have to come to the tea shop secretly to barely see it.

"No, no, no. I was not good last time, but I didn't expect Mama Gui to want to follow me..."

Gu Qinghuan thought about Mama Gui's resolute appearance last time, and couldn't help but say, "I hope that when I wait until next year, I can go to enjoy the flowers." ”

In winter, there are plum blossoms near the nunnery. In spring, there are spring flowers and azaleas. Gu Qinghuan went with Eniang once when he was a child, but he didn't go this year for various reasons.

The sea of flowers in my memory, I don't know what it looks like now.

"I'll be with you next year."

Yin Zhen didn't think about it, and added: "You can go wherever you want." ”

"Really?" Gu Qinghuan thought about it for a while, and said, "I heard Fu Chaxue say that the emperor is going to tour the south this year, is it true?" Going to Jinan, Suzhou and Hangzhou? ”

She likes Hangzhou the most. Especially in the West Lake, there are always flocks of small sparrows under the willow trees by the lake, and there are ducks swimming around to catch fish and eat.

The duck plunged into the water with a thud, and when it got up again, there was already a small fish in its mouth.

She just wanted to see these animals and feel extra happy.

"She even told you that?" Yin Zhen looked a little surprised, and said, "Huang Ama has plans in this regard. I went back to the Ministry of Rites that day because of this. ”

"But... It's not so easy to settle down when you want to tour the south, and you still need to see again. ”

"Uh-huh." Although Gu Qinghuan replied like this, he still had some expectations for it in his heart.

"That's right. I... Brought you something. ”

Gu Qinghuan said, took out a small box from the basket he brought into the house, and handed it to Yinzhen.

The box is a carved wooden box, which looks ordinary, but the pattern on it is very detailed.

After Yinzhen took it, he opened the box. Inside, it's a dried flower.

Although it is a dried flower, it is not what ordinary flowers look like after they are dehydrated and shriveled. It was somewhat similar to what Gu Qinghuan had seen before, those immortal flowers.

However, the technology of ancient times was limited, and the flowers were dried.

"This is..."Yin Zhen's eyes showed a little doubt, obviously not knowing why Gu Qinghuan would give him this.

"Didn't you give me bamboo leaves last time?"

Gu Qinghuan thought for a while and said, "I saw that the bamboo leaf is suitable for bookmarking, and it is a little fragrant." Well, the so-called coming and not being rude. ”

"Since you gave me something, I should return the favor. I picked this one when I went shopping. Originally, I wanted to do it myself, but unfortunately I was clumsy and couldn't do it well. ”

In the future, she will have to study hard.

"I love it." Yin Zhen said: "Whether you picked it yourself or made it yourself." Whatever it looks like, I love it. ”

As long as... It was the things she had put the effort into giving him, and he liked them.

"Hmm." Gu Qinghuan responded gently, and then talked about some trivial things in the house recently, and Mama Gui took her own children to learn the rules.

It may seem trivial and boring to say, but in fact, it is all the bits and pieces of life.

Yinzhen just listened quietly, thinking about the scene at that time. It seems that they still have a relationship with each other.

PS: I've read a sentence before: the desire to share is a very important thing, and friendship and love are the same. I would only be willing to talk nonsense about you if I like you.

Tell you that on the way home today, a golden retriever pierced my eyes, and today's breakfast was two more beef balls than usual... (And some more, just a summary here)
