Chapter 106. fruit
The days with him passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the apricot blossoms flying all over the city disappeared.
The flowers and trees in the courtyard have lost the fragrance of the trees, but they have quietly borne yellow and clear fruits.
Midsummer has arrived, and the acquaintances on the trees are crying happily.
And I, a modern person who spent the summer for the first time in ancient times, is really miserable, and this is too hot for Mrs. Mrs. Isn't it?!
Even if there is no air conditioning, I have to wear this wide robe and big sleeves all day long, but fortunately I came up with a way today.
About half an afternoon, I took out the apricots from the cellar that had been soaked in the water of the cool well and went to the shade of the trees.
Picked one up and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, it was fruity and sweet.
I've been looking forward to it for more than two months, and I can finally eat it!
As soon as I took a bite, I saw Niankong enter the hospital.
However, what I didn't expect was that he was followed by two people:
Xue Rang and Luo Chen, the three of them described solemnly.
When I saw this, my heart struck.
Naturally, I haven't forgotten that the reason why we were able to sneak here was because Niankong was secretly ordered by the emperor to secretly investigate Wumeng's hidden work in Nanli.
In order to lure the snake out of the hole, he stayed away from the court for the time being, just waiting for the other party to move.
It's just that there has been no movement in the past two months, and looking at their current situation, could it be that there is an abnormality on Wumeng's side?
But why is Luo Chenyan here?
Speculations flashed through my mind until the three of them spotted me in a daze.
Niankong glanced at the other two, and the two retreated to the front yard in understanding.
He walked over to me, smiling uncontrollably.
"Apricots ripe? How does it taste? Is it sweet? ”
I was still worried about him, so I just nodded sheepishly. But he came nearer.
"Really sweet?"
As he leaned down, I realized that I had been biting the apricot in my mouth, but it was too late to avoid it, and he just took a bite of the apricot, and the juice splashed and soaked my lips.
I widened my eyes and took the apricot with one hand, pushed him away with the other, and glanced in the direction of the front yard before I said:
"Ling Niankong, are you crazy!?"
He said to himself with a glamorous face: "It's really sweet, but it's not as sweet as you." ”
Without warning, he picked me up.
I was startled and hurriedly pressed the hem of my fluttering skirt, but it was because he moved too violently, revealing his bare calves.
He looked at me in amazement.
"Yan Linxuan, you are so bold, you don't even wear obscene pants!?"
I hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Who said I wasn't wearing it? I wore it, I just cut it shorter...... It's so hot! ”
He turned his head sideways to avoid my hand, and said angrily: "That's not possible, there are still outsiders." ”
"Who knew you would bring the two of them today?!
Besides, my skirt is so long, as long as it's not like the one just now, no one will find out. ”
"No way!"
He neatly lowered me to the ground.
"Go change me into a normal pair of pants!"
Seeing his resolute look, I had no choice but to surrender.
Well, well, maybe what I did was a little horrifying in the eyes of the ancients.
I pursed my lips and turned to walk to the bedroom.
"Why are you going?"
He must have seen that I was upset, and his voice softened a lot.
I turned back to see him. "What else can you do? Naturally, I changed my pants! ”
I wasn't angry, and I even felt a little wronged:
"Ling Niankong, you are simply my father! My dad didn't care about me so much! ”
After speaking, he turned around and continued to walk towards the bedroom.
"Wait."
He called me from behind, but I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and the next moment I was hugged by him from behind.
He coughed dryly and said somewhat unnaturally:
"When the outsiders are gone, you can wear it if you want."
I snorted, holding my neck high and confronting him.
He added in my ear:
"Wear it to me...... If it's really hot, you can ...... without wearing it."
All of a sudden, the blood in my body seemed to rush to my cheeks.
While struggling, he scolded in a low voice: "Ling Niankong, do you want face?!" ”
He chuckled. "All I want is you."
He kissed my hair as he spoke, and then said:
"Dad, don't scream in the future. But...... You can ...... while on the couch."
Scold! I kind of understand that men are the same virtue in both modern and ancient times!
I finally broke free from him, but I was already sweating.
I was so angry that I smashed the twice-bitten apricot on his chest.
"I didn't expect you to want to be a father so much!"
He didn't care about the wet mark on his chest that was smashed by the apricot, and only smiled:
"I thought to myself, when are you going to fulfill my heart?
Boys and girls are fine, as long as you are born for me, I like them. ”
"Hmph, dream your dreams!"
I took a few steps up the stairs and pushed the door open into the bedroom.
He followed after him, closed the door, and stopped me again.
"Okay, don't make a fuss......"
He pointed to the mark on the placket of his shirt.
"My clothes are dirty, you can go find another one for me."
"Won't you look for it yourself?"
Even though I said that, I went into the inner room to help him find a change of clothes.
When he opened the wardrobe, he remembered that the summer clothes he often wore had been washed and had not dried, so he could only touch the bottom of the cabinet.
After wiping for a long time, he finally found a snow-blue robe, pulled it out, and said to him outside while shaking:
"The ones you wear don't ...... yet"
Before he could finish speaking, something suddenly fell out of his clothes and fell lightly to the ground.
What is it?
I leaned down to pick it up, and realized it was a silk handkerchief.
The texture of the silk handkerchief is delicate, it is obviously a high-quality fabric, and there are patterns embroidered on one corner, and the embroidery is not exquisite, but it can also be called meticulous.
The hand unconsciously crumpled the silk handkerchief, and the heart sank and sank.
This veil is obviously a boudoir thing, and this snow green robe is his old clothes, so this veil should have been around for a long time, but he still keeps it......
"It's nothing?"
After a long time of not hearing the second half of my words, the man paced into the inner room.
My hands trembled slightly, and I miraculously hid the silk handkerchief in my sleeve.
"Your clothes haven't dried yet, so you can wear this one first."
I handed him the snow robe and observed his expression, which was not as unnatural as it seemed.
It seems that even he has forgotten that there is something hidden in this dress.
He took the clothes, but his gaze stayed on my face.
"What's wrong with you? The tone is gloomy ...... Really? ……”
I suppressed the inexplicable bitterness in my chest and turned my face sideways to look at him. "Nope."
But he didn't hesitate to lean his face closer.
"Still say no? Obviously I'm angry.
Sorry, I was just kidding you......
Am I saying something wrong? Don't be mad at me, okay? ”
Listening to what he said, my throat began to choke a little.
Yan Linxuan, what do you have to be wronged?
Since he himself doesn't remember what is hidden in this dress, it means that he shouldn't want to see things and think about people.
Even if he wanted to do this, you said in a dashing way that you wouldn't force him to forget his original owner!
"I don't have ......"
I didn't look at him, and then said:
"I'm just a little unwell."
"Not feeling well?!"
His eyebrows furrowed immediately, and he raised his hand to probe my forehead.
"No fever...... What is wrong with you? I'll go get a doctor. ”
I grabbed him as he tried to leave.
"No, it's too hot and I'm suffering from heat stroke, and I'm a little dizzy, just lie down."
"Then I'll accompany you."
"No, you don't."
I hurriedly interrupted him, but I realized that my reaction was a little too much, and I breathed a sigh of relief:
"I want to be alone...... Aren't Xue Rang and Luo Chenran still waiting for you to discuss things?
Go ahead, I'll be pretty much fine when you're done. ”
He looked at me for a moment, obviously worried about me, but because of my stubbornness, he had to respond.
He was gone, but I couldn't stay in this room anyway, and I just felt a tightness in my chest.
So I went out and came to the front yard, and saw that the door of the flower hall was closed, and I could vaguely hear the woman's voice.
I think Luo Chenran was reporting something to him.
When I walked to the door of the house, I met Xue Rang.
Xue Rang saw me saluting respectfully. I wasn't in the mood to greet him, so I just smiled at him and stepped out the door.
"The girl is going out? Why don't you wait for the master? Xue Rang's voice sounded behind him.
I still had my back to him. "He's still busy, I want to come out and breathe."
He said no more, and I went on. I hadn't taken a few steps before I realized that he was following me.
I stopped, turned sideways and sighed helplessly.
"Xue Rang, can you not follow me? I really want to be alone for a while. ”
"But......" he was a little embarrassed.
"That's good......
I raised my hand to a food stall on the banks of the Jinshui River not far away.
"I'm not going far, just go and sit there for a while, please don't follow me."
"Yes." He answered, but suddenly said:
"Luo Chenran will come, just because the previous master asked her to go to Yunhua Mountain to check some things, she is coming back to resume her life......"
I smiled helplessly.
"You don't have to explain it to him......"
As he spoke, he ignored him and walked alone towards the river.
