Chapter 020: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves
"Erqing! Erqing! Because of the wind, even with an umbrella, the rain still fell on Xiyue's body along the wind, and her face made her a little unable to open her eyes, she seemed to see Er Qing coming in front just now, but after a while, she disappeared, and she had to shout eagerly.
Er Qing ran out from under the eaves, "Xiyue, it's raining so hard, why did you come out!" ”
Xiyue stretched out the umbrella to the top of Er Qing's head: "Er Qing, you asked you to take an umbrella, you don't take it, look, your clothes are soaked!" ”
Er Qing took the umbrella handed by Xiyue, and saw that Xiyue cared so much about herself, and her heart was like honey: "Look, it rains so hard, and I bother Miss Xiyue to come to give me an umbrella, Er Qing is really upset!" ”
"You see you're polite again, aren't you?" Xiyue's hair had been wet by the rain, and the water ran down the tips of the hair in front of her sideburns, and the cardigan with white flowers on a blue background was also mostly wet, and the white pleated skirt was stained with some mud, and even the small white embroidered shoes were full of mud.
Even so, it is difficult to hide the beauty of Xiyue, and when she is soaked, she makes Er Qing feel like a hibiscus that has just come out of the water, which makes people feel distressed.
Er Qing took out a handkerchief and unconsciously wanted to wipe the rain on Xi Yue's face, Xi Yue didn't adapt to Er Qing's sudden movements for a while, and shrank back, Er Qing's hand holding the handkerchief stopped in mid-air, a little embarrassed.
Xiyue realized her gaffe and reached out to take Er Qing's handkerchief: "It's good that I'll come by myself, thank you!" ”
Erqing's veil is a light gray silk veil, with a light aroma on it, just like the breath on Erqing's body.
Xiyue wiped off the water droplets on her face, lowered her head and said, "Er Qing, it's not early, you should hurry back to the house!" It's so late, presumably the old general and his wife should be in a hurry! I'll put your veil away first, wash it and then return it to you!" ”
"No need, Miss Xiyue, no need to wash!"
Xiyue didn't say anything, lowered her head and smiled shallowly, put away the veil, she didn't dare to raise her head to meet Er Qing's eyes, she could feel the burning breath from Er Qing's eyes, Er Qing was good to her, she didn't know.
"Er Qing, don't let the tide moon pass! Slow down on Erqing Road! Saying that, she bowed her body, turned around and walked into the rain and mist, Er Qing watched her slender back disappear until she held the umbrella and slowly left.
Along the way, in front of Er Qing's eyes, Er Qing's heart was full of Xiyue's figure, lingering.
Xiyue returned to the small courtyard, and Biluo and Liu's mother greeted them anxiously.
"Miss, you said that we will do the matter of sending the umbrella, why did you run out in person, such a strong wind and rain, if you catch a cold and catch a cold, how can it be good?" Liu's mother chattered endlessly while wiping the rain from Xiyue's hair: "Biluo, you said that you won't chase it out, the harmful young lady will run away, hurry up and get her a dry clothes, look, this is soaking wet!" ”
Bilo hurried to find a change of clothes.
"Mother Liu, I can't complain about Biluo, I want to run out by myself, besides, I am the daughter of an ordinary family, and I am not a young lady from an official family, I am not so squeamish!" Xiyue saw Liu's mother complaining about Biluo, and hurriedly relieved Biluo.
"I can't say that, my distant relatives came to us to serve Miss that day, but Zhu Gongzi told us a thousand times, let us take care of Miss well, and we can't let you have a little mistake! What do you want, if Zhu Gongzi comes and blames him next time, what will be good? ”
While Liu's mother was talking, Bi Luo had already brought clean clothes, and Liu Ma waited for Xi Yue to change her clothes, Bi Luo took advantage of Liu's mother not paying attention, and naughtily stuck out her tongue with Xi Yue, Xi Yue and her looked at each other and smiled.
Liu's mother is enthusiastic, but she has to take care of everything, but Xiyue feels that she is like an elder of her own, she worries about everything, which means that she is worried about herself, so Xiyue has to admit her mistake to Liu's mother: "Liu's mother, I know, I will not let you worry next time, okay?" ”
"Well, that's pretty much it!" Seeing that Xiyue finally realized her mistake, Liu's mother stopped complaining, "You are warm, I'll get you some ginger soup!" He went to the kitchen.
As soon as Liu's mother left, Biluo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, don't you know, you just left on your front foot, but Mother Liu complained to me, saying that it was raining so hard that I let you send an umbrella, fortunately, you didn't catch a cold, if you caught a cold, Mother Liu would have to train me!" As soon as Biluo finished speaking, Xiyue couldn't help but sneeze.
This sneeze scared Bi Luo a lot: "Look, I just said Miss, don't catch a cold, it's okay now, it's still cold, you hurry back to the back room to rest, I'll go to the kitchen to see how Mother Liu's ginger soup is prepared!" ”
Bilo said and hurried to the kitchen.
After a while, Liu's mother brought ginger soup.
With a bowl of hot ginger soup in her stomach, Xiyue suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
"Miss, if I shouldn't ask, the son named Er Qing who came today, I saw him wearing the clothes of a military attache today, and he talked well, it must not be an ordinary person, right?" Liu's mother asked Xiyue.
Xiyue nodded: "The young son in the general's mansion in the north of the city!" I heard that his father Ge Yuntai is the most favored son of the emperor today! ”
Mother Liu's eyes widened when she heard this: "He said that he was the Zhu Gongzi who asked to come to see the young lady that day, and Zhu Gongzi could ask him to do things, which is enough to show that Zhu Gongzi is not an ordinary person!" Liu's mother expressed her guess.
Bi Luo was also taken aback when she heard it on the side, "Yes, Miss, then Zhu Gongzi is not a dignitary, he must be a rich son!" Presumably it is Miss's fairy-like beauty that has led countless heroes to bend their waists? Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass! That day, Zhu Gongzi was interested in Miss, and now I see that this Son also has a deep affection for Miss, Miss, it's not simple! "Bilo is childish, she can say whatever she wants.
"You, kid's family, what nonsense?" Shigetsu smiled and blamed Biro.
Mother Liu thinks that Bi Luo is right, it seems that the Xiyue girl is noble, although she was born poor, but looking at the situation, she is comparable to a golden branch and jade leaf, whether she marries that Zhu Gongzi in the future, or today's young general, then she can fly on the branch to be a phoenix, and she will serve her well, and she will have a dependency in the future.
"Biluo girl, our young lady is not a golden branch and jade leaf, but she is better than a golden branch and jade leaf! Let's follow Miss for the rest of our lives! Mother Liu did not hide her joy at all, and told Biluo her thoughts.
Zhu Gongzi, Er Qing, the two of them were constantly entangled in Xiyue's mind.
