Chapter 119: Déjà vu
The wind on the river was blowing, and it was only the beginning of September, and there was already a little coolness, but it was also this coolness that made Qi Yunshu, who was on the verge of emotional collapse after listening to the words of the Xia family brothers and sisters on the big boat opposite, wake up.
Holding the side of the boat with one hand and her forehead in the other, she groggily walked towards her room.
As soon as I entered, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing by the door with her hands tied, and when she heard the movement of her returning to the room, she first shook like a frightened rabbit, and Luo Ping, who was standing on the side, hurriedly came forward to introduce, saying that this was a new Yahuan Qingzhi bought for her.
Qi Yunshu's mind was full of what the Xia family brothers and sisters said, laughing at each other, and the person who said that a talented man was a beautiful woman, as if every word made her uncomfortable, and she was not in the mood to deal with this little girl she didn't know.
She just nodded casually and waved them out, she needed to stay alone for a while now, and lick the unrecognizable wound!
Luo Ping didn't know why, but he still explained, saying that as a man, he was not suitable for serving, this little girl ring was specially approved by their young master for her, and it was used to serve her daily life and diet on weekdays, and if there was anything needed, he could also be called to do it through her!
Qi Yunshu listened, and felt that this Luo Yi was a very thoughtful person, and a warm feeling rose in her heart, and she wanted to excuse herself, but she turned her eyes and saw the sad and worried look on Qingzhi's face, as if she was afraid that she would reject her. She sighed and said:
"Okay, then you can come with me!" Look at her too, a poor person!
Luo Ping finished his errand, and came here to inform them that they would all be on the ship for the next five days, and they might occasionally go near the port to relax, but they still had to be prepared to be on the ship for several days in a row.
In order to prevent Qi Yunshu from getting seasick, he even prepared herbs to treat seasickness, and handed them to Qingzhi early, so that she could boil a bowl of soup to drink when Qi Yunshu was dizzy!
On the third day of September, Qi Yunshu's boat traveled north along the artificially built Shunhang Grand Canal all the way north to the Huiping River Wharf that flowed through the capital.
Hearing Luo Ping's words, Qi Yunshu walked out, and a cold wind hit, the autumn in the capital was really cold, the sky was foggy, and it was raining.
She wrapped herself tightly out of the cabin, walked on the long wooden plank road, squinted at the rain in the air, the so-called one autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains to wear cotton!
Not far away, there was a young man with a small servant holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a cyan power suit, and when he saw a familiar person appear, the man immediately greeted him with a burst of excitement, but stopped three steps away from her.
looked at the woman in front of him wearing a thin summer dress, wrapped in a pure white cloak prepared by Luo Ping, the material of brocade, hooded, lining her little face bright and white.
It's just that her expression is a little sad, and her face is pale.
A trace of distress appeared on the young man's face: "You're here!" ”
Qi Yunshu raised his eyes, his clear eyes looked into the bottom of his heart, Luo Yi in front of him was dressed in a cyan suit, with a sword tied around his waist, and soap boots on his feet, looking like he was on official business, thinking of the Luo Ping he arranged for her to saddle up and back the horse along the way, all of them were careful, all intimate, thinking that this was all for his face, his heart was touched, and he saluted:
"Here, thank you for the arrangement!"
Hearing her speak so quietly and gently, a smile appeared on Luo Yi's handsome face: "You are not like you like this!" ”
He still remembered seeing her when he first met her in Nancheng Town, and although she was slender and weak, she was a strong-minded woman.
After being rejected by her, he thought that he would never look forward to taking her into Beijing in his life, and even the last time he wrote a letter was a daily greeting, and he was even more worried about it if he couldn't ask for it, but he didn't expect her to agree!
This is really an unexpected joy, ecstasy, he was busy pushing the opportunity to go north to make meritorious contributions, asking to stay, just to be able to see him at first sight when her feet just set foot on the land of the capital!
"I have arranged a small house for you in the south of the city, you have a long journey, you can go there to freshen up and rest first, and then I will take you back to the house to ask my grandmother for peace ...... after I finish my duty" Luo Yi hurriedly talked about his arrangements for Qi Yunshu, and his excitement was overflowing.
Qi Yunshu could still hear two sentences at first, but when her eyes saw the people coming down from the docked boat at another ferry, her heart suddenly flew away.
"Ashu, Ashu......" Luo Yi was talking lively, but suddenly saw that Yun Niang didn't care about her at all, and couldn't help but feel a little lost, and looked over with her gaze, but saw that she was looking at her confidant and friend Xia Daoyin, the eldest son of the Xia family, and his baby sister Xia Xiangjun who returned from the south.
"That's the Xia family brother and sister, does Ah Shu know?" Luo Yi was so smart, thinking of the Baoning Mansion where Xia Xiangjun went south this time, he immediately thought of what to ask her.
Qi Yunshu felt a pain in her heart, she knew this person, of course she knew, if it weren't for Xia Xiangjun, why would she be so embarrassed to enter Beijing?
But the words that came out were: "No, I don't know, I just think that girl is so beautiful!" She couldn't help it, and saw that Luo Yi seemed to have the intention of greeting the brother and sister across the river, so she took a step back and tightened her cloak, tightened her hood, covered her face, and quietly leaned against the green branch, covering her figure with her body, so as not to let Xia Xiangjun see the slightest clue!
It's just that Qi Yunshu made such a move, but she saw another figure.
The man was far away on the river embankment, but he came on horseback, wearing an inky brocade robe and a jade crown with his hair tied.
And what made her feel strange was that in the land of the capital, she and the original owner had obviously never been there, but she inexplicably felt that this person's figure looked familiar, as if he was someone she knew before, and the moving figure seemed to have been seen many times......
But before she could take a closer look, that person had already greeted the Xia family brothers and sisters surrounded by many people.
It turned out to be an acquaintance with them, and the capital is really small!
Qi Yunshu lowered her head and sighed, seeing that Luo Yi was still talking to the Xia family brothers and sisters, she quietly sat down after asking Luo Ping quietly where the carriage they had arranged was parked.
Luo Yi was catching up with Xia Daoyin, and he was also very familiar with the noble man who came on horseback, and when he saw him, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hesitated for a moment and called to the back:
"Ashu, this is the one I told you in the letter, do you need me to take you up to meet him, if you are tired today, you will ...... tomorrow" Before the words fell, Luo Yi felt that there was a wind blowing behind him, bringing the peculiar fishy smell on the river wharf, but the orchid fragrance that had been floating behind him disappeared.
He was shocked, and immediately turned back, but saw that there was still Yun Niang's figure behind him, only Luo Ping explained to him in a whisper:
"Qi Niangzi is tired, and it is inconvenient to disturb you to get together with your old friends, so I will get in the carriage first and wait for you, young master!"
As soon as Luo Yi heard that she was still there, his hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and he said three good words in a row: "Since that's the case, then I can't let Yun Niang wait for a long time!" ”
He retreated across the ferry a foot away towards the Xia family brothers and sisters and the young man in gorgeous clothes.
"Hey, Luo Yi, you kid, buddy thought you were here to pick us up, but I didn't expect you to hide the delicate person in private, and hide it so that we wouldn't see it, are you too ugly to bring it out!"
Xia Daoyin and Luo Yi are very familiar with each other, and they don't go around the kiln flower street on weekdays, and they don't sleep together with the flower girl, so they joke about it, it's meat and vegetarian taboo, completely ignoring the identity of the noble son.
"Bah, you can pull it down, you guys aren't as boring as you!" Luo Yi looked at the carriage not far away with some weakness, as if he was afraid of being heard by Yun Niang in the car.
His weak-hearted appearance fell in Xia Daoyin's eyes, which made him even more happy, and kept laughing at him, saying that this is not a little chick raised in private outside, but a big lady who wants to enter the main palace?
Luo Yi was afraid that his uncovered mouth would pick out some topics again, so he arched his hand over there and snorted him: "I don't know how to stop in front of our lord and your flowery girl, look at me when I go back and don't look for Aunt Xia to sue you, so that you can kneel for another three days and three nights......"
He withdrew as he spoke, and before he could finish his sentence, the man climbed into the carriage.
But he sat down on the chariot very politely, and sent the former coachman down to walk with Luo Ping, one left and one right.
Although Qi Yunshu was in the carriage, his slender fingers kept pinching the curtain and looking at the three people not far away.
Before she knew it, she had changed her target to the new young nobleman.
It was a little far away, and there was a mist steaming, and she still didn't see the man's face clearly, but it didn't prevent her from feeling that he was familiar.
Who is it, I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere!
