Chapter 9: A Moment of Brain Fever
However, Suxin always eats closed-door soup, can only be placed at the door, often the next day to see, the food box is still at the door, the food inside has not moved.
After a few times, Su Xin also had a temper, and the same flower complained, "Such a person who doesn't know how to lift, Miss, why do you treat him so wholeheartedly?" ”
Hua Yanyan knew that she was wronged, and comforted her with the freshly baked osmanthus cake, "Tonight's temple fair, I have already greeted the housekeeper's lady, and then let you follow the eldest sister and her party out to enjoy the lanterns." ”
Su Xin is not very old, it is the time to love to play, because of the words of the rejection of the temple fair, I thought that I could only serve at home, at this time I heard such good news, happy on the face, I couldn't suppress it, fortunately I still remembered my duty, and asked in a low voice, "There is no one around the young lady to serve......
"For such a moment and a half, there is no big deal, but there is really any trouble, there are maids and maids on duty in the house, and I am not tired."
Hua Yanyan nodded Su Xin's forehead, and looked at her overjoyed, as if her heart had flown to the temple fair.
The temple fair is twice a year, the dusk is up, the sky is faint with red glow, every household lights up the lantern at the door, along the street for ten miles, all the way the wind and shadows, accompanied by the laughter of children's silver bells, warm and lively, and then drilled into the side courtyard snow cave-like house.
Wen Xiuyu was in good health, and by lighting the candle in the courtyard, he was sitting under the corridor and reading a book of soldiers carefully.
"Childe, dinner is ready," Shuyan walked to Wen Xiuyu's side, and looked at his eyes that were unconsciously squinted because the light was too dim, and he was a little distressed, "Let's warm the book tomorrow, the candlelight is so dim, don't hurt your eyes." ”
"Two more pages." Wen Xiuyu didn't raise her head, and turned another page.
"But ......"
"Knock knock—"
A knock at the door interrupted the conversation between the master and servant.
Few people know about the side courtyard, and the only one who has come and gone recently is the little maid who delivers food.
Shuyan raised his voice, "Sister Xie's kindness, we have dinner, sister take it back for her own use!" ”、
"Open the door, it's me."
The voice of the girl outside the door was like a mountain stream flowing down, smart and crisp, Wen Xiuyu was stunned, he frowned and got up, walked to the door, and suppressed the sound.
"What does the second lady command? I am not feeling well today, and I am afraid that I am not competent. ”
He waited for the reply from the other end, and for a while, he only heard the "click" of the food box on the stone slab, and the footsteps moved, as if he was slowly walking out.
She's gone.
This realization did not make Wen Xiuyu receive the expected joy, he looked at the wooden door in front of him, it was in disrepair, and the lock was already stained with rust.
In fact, when you bump it, it loosens.
His dark eyes were deep, he couldn't see the emotion, he was stunned for a moment and then turned around and walked to the main house, but it was just a trick of the eldest lady's brain fever for a while, and after a little cold her, she lost interest, so why should she ......
"Little brother, pick me up!"
Wen Xiuyu turned his head sharply, facing Shanghua's smiling eyes.
The girl sat straddling the wall, the green silk was untied, scattered by the long wind, her aqua blue skirt was tied in a knot at her ankles, her eyes were filled with the night sky, and a pool of stars was shining.
"Help, I can't get down!"
She stretched out her hand and greeted Wen Xiuyu.
Wen Xiuyu tilted her head, her lips pursed, and she tilted her head for a long time and instructed Shuyan, "Move a chair for her." ”
Hua Yanyan entered the courtyard with great difficulty, opened the door and brought in a box of things.
"Today's temple fair, the house is deserted, why don't we have dinner together."
