Chapter 169
Liu Fang appeared under the luxuriant banyan tree next to the old well in the small backyard, raised his head and glanced at the thick trunk, first untied the cloak on his shoulders and threw it to the tree, and then climbed the trunk and began to climb up.
After Liu Fang climbed to the tree, he could see the place outside the high wall of the courtyard, which was a secluded place that no one would pass by, surrounded by gravel and wild grass, and he was immediately satisfied.
She wants to go outside the mansion, and she naturally will not choose to swagger out of the door of King Yi's mansion, whether it is the gate or the side door or the back door, it is inconvenient for her to do things, plus she has not practiced martial arts now, she can not fly the eaves and jump off the wall easily, she can only choose this way, this banyan tree she looks at this morning and feels useful, the outside is a desolate place, just what she wants.
Liu Fang untied the hemp rope wrapped around her waist before leaving the house, tied it to the trunk of the tree, and tried to pull it to make sure it was safe, so she easily fell to the ground outside the high wall along the hemp rope, just in case, she threw all the hemp rope to the wall, and when she came back, she found a long stick to hook it off.
Liu Fang clapped his hands, put the cloak back on his shoulders, and left the high wall.
Before the unitary time, she could come back.
Although Qingbi County is far less prosperous than Nanchanab City, it also has a complete range of paving shops, which are available here in Nanchanaburi, and those that are not available in Nanchanaburi may be found here.
Liu Fang didn't want to attract attention, so he pulled on the hood on his cloak and walked to a shop with a big word "dang" written on the banner.
The pawnshop in the afternoon was very quiet, Xiao Er leaned against the door and took a nap, while the shopkeeper was behind the counter and bowed his head to make an abacus, and the sound of the clicking plan echoed in the shop, which showed the silence at this time.
Liu Fang's footsteps were very light, so that she walked past Xiao Er, who was leaning on the side of the door and taking a nap, he didn't notice it, even the shopkeeper waited until Liu Fang stood in front of the counter for a while before he realized her existence, but he just glanced up at her and lowered his head to continue to dial the abacus, and said very unenthusiastically: "What should it be, should it be dead or dead?" ”
Liu Fang took out a small object from his waist, put it in front of the shopkeeper with a "snap", and said in a faint voice: "Die." ”
It was a delicately carved mutton fat white jade pendant.
The shopkeeper's action of dialing the abacus suddenly stopped when he saw the jade pendant, and then he continued to dial the abacus, and his eyelids were not lifted and he said in a tone of irrationality: "Fifty taels." ”
Fifty taels? Liu Fang squinted slightly, a sneer in her eyes was covered, only to see her slowly lift the hood on her head, take off the silver hairpin on her head, and pierce it on the countertop with a "ding" sound. Don't look at Lao Tzu—"
The shopkeeper's arrogant words stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, and Xiao Eryi, who was napping by the door, woke up immediately when he heard the angry scolding of his boss, and was about to rush up to help the shopkeeper teach this guest who did not understand the rules, when he suddenly saw the attitude of the shopkeeper come to a world of difference, only to see him smile and say: "One hundred taels, this is the highest girl." ”
Xiao Er was a little stunned, with a surprised face, is this still his shopkeeper?
"Two hundred taels." Liu Fang's voice was cold, "This is the lowest price I can drive." ”
"This, this, this can't work, girl, this piece of jade ......"
"Two hundred taels is definitely not a loss for you." Liu Fang didn't want to talk to him, and his voice was still cold.
The shopkeeper looked like he was reluctant to cut his love, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two hundred taels is two hundred taels!" Little second son, take the silver! ”
"Slow." Liu Fang raised his hand to stop the shopkeeper, "Don't cash out the silver, give me the silver ticket." ”
"Okay, okay, the girl can ask for a silver ticket." Liu Fang put the silver ticket into his sleeve, took out the hairpin nailed on the counter and turned his head again, pulled on the hood, and turned around and left the pawnshop.
Xiao Er immediately rushed to the shopkeeper's side, only to see that it was already early winter, and a thin layer of fine sweat appeared on the forehead of the shopkeeper, and he was wiping the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, Xiao Er couldn't help but ask with concern: "Shopkeeper, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." The shopkeeper looked at the small hole left by the hairpin tip on the counter, and his heart was still pounding.
He had never seen such a look in anyone's eyes, cold as a knife, without the slightest emotion, as if as long as he said one more word, the look could turn into a sharp blade to pierce his throat, he had seen all kinds of people in this line of work, but he had never seen such a woman, beautiful as a face, but cold as frost.
But...... The shopkeeper took out the piece of mutton fat white jade and observed it carefully, and laughed again, it was indeed he who earned it, and such a high-grade white jade was worth four or five hundred taels.
Liu Fang didn't know the value of that piece of white jade, but she didn't have time and didn't want to bargain, not to mention that the piece of jade pendant didn't mean anything to her, two hundred taels was exactly the price she traded with that strange man.
Liu Fang took the silver ticket to the money village and put one hundred taels of silver, took fifteen taels on his body, and the remaining eighty-five taels were stored in the money bank, and the silver ticket of one hundred taels was withdrawn from his sleeve, and then he began to do what she needed to do when she left the house.
She first went into the cotton shop, bought four cotton cores, and then went to the cloth village to pull the close-fitting and soft cloth to nail the cotton core cover, and by the way, she brought two pillows, and asked the store where to buy a big wooden box here, and then paid the money and turned around and left the cloth village.
When she left the cloth village, she saw a little wife accompanying her father-in-law to tailor clothes, and she couldn't help but glance at the cloth ruler in the master's hand, and her eyes turned slightly.
She asked four casual workers waiting for work on the side of the road to help her move the two large wooden boxes she bought to the cloth village, put the quilt that had been nailed into the wooden box, and instructed while giving the payment: "Send it to the palace of King Yi, saying that it is something that Mrs. Shizi wants." ”
The words "Mrs. Prince of Yi's Mansion" made the casual workers on the side stunned, and they wanted to ask something more, but they were shocked when they saw Liu Fang's face clearly, and they forgot what they wanted to say for a while.
Liu Fang handed the remuneration to the casual workers, not caring about their reactions, and after glancing at them lightly, he walked into the depths of the city.
It wasn't until Liu Fang's figure turned around on the street corner and disappeared from the sight of the casual workers that they still couldn't come back to their senses, and after a long time, they heard one of them exclaim: "This, this, where did such a beautiful person come from?" Liu Fang wanted to prepare a dagger, and she was looking for a craftsman whose forging skills could meet her requirements.
Liu Fang walked along the side of the street unhurriedly, when suddenly a cold wind rose, blowing off the hood on her head and messing up her long hair that was curled at will.
Liu Fang stroked her long windswept hair, and when she pulled the hood back on, three figures suddenly rushed forward from behind her, blocking her.
Liu Fang's eyes lit up, raised his eyes slightly, and saw three men who looked like little servants, looking at the dress, they were the same as the Yiwang Mansion who went to the medicine this morning to find trouble, oh? The people of King Yi's mansion?
"A bunch of dog minions, how can they be so rude to our Lady of the Prince?" Just as Liu Fang ignored the three people in front of her and wanted to continue walking, a man's voice came from behind her, even if she didn't see him, listening to his mocking chuckle, she could already sense that the comer was not good, "Or are you blind and don't even know the dignified prince?" ”
"Lady Shizi's life! Mrs. Shizi spares her life! The three servants immediately begged Liu Fang for mercy, but even though they were begging for mercy in their mouths, their tone and their expressions and attitudes did not beg for mercy at all, and they could not even find a trace of humility on their faces, but saw a sneer in their eyes, as if they were waiting to see her jokes.
Liu Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly turned around and looked at the "mastermind" who had never met but stopped her on the street.
I saw a young man about six feet tall walking slowly towards this small backyard under the tail of a family member, the man was about ten years old*, with red phoenix eyes, oblique sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, slender lip line, sharp and angular jaw, wearing a green jade crown, long hair neatly combed, wearing a dark red knee-length brocade robe embroidered with dark flowers, a palm-sized jade pendant pinned to his waist, and a pair of dark brown thick-soled satin boots, handsome with a superior arrogance, the corners of the eyes slightly raised upwards with a smile, A mocking smile.
Behind the person was a family dressed in dark brown clothes, and Liu Fang had the impression that it was the man known as "Brother Li" who went to the medicine this morning to find trouble.
So—
Liu Fang fixed his eyes on the young man in the brocade robe, who thought that this man was the "little prince" they called in their mouths.
This is really interesting, this Yi Wangfu not only has a prince, but also a little prince, and this little prince's status in the mansion is obviously not lower than that of Si Jixia, or even above Si Jixia.
With just one glance, this so-called "little prince" made Liu Ansheng disgusted, she just glanced at him coldly and turned back again, ready to leave.
The man's eyes became extremely cold the moment he saw Liu Fang turn around, and he saw that the three family members were still blocking in front of her, and loudly reprimanded her: "Bold! Dare to be rude to the little prince! ”
Liu Fang's footsteps did not stop, bypassing the three family members who were blocking the road, and continued to move forward, not putting any of them in one eye at all, the three family members wanted to arrest her back but were afraid to catch her, only to see the look on the man's face like the gloom before the storm, and there was a moment of hideousness that made people think that he was going to step forward and choke Liu Fang's throat the next moment, but he just sneered lightly: "Sister-in-law went back to tell the eldest brother for me, and I said that I will come to you tomorrow to sit there." ”
Liu Fang still continued to move forward, completely ignoring him, only to hear him suddenly laugh, and instructed the three family members: "Follow Mrs. Shizi, I will serve for a good life, so as not to feel distressed when I get lost." ”
"Yes! Little Prince! The three family members immediately straightened their waists and responded respectfully, and then followed closely behind Liu Fang.
"Little Prince" looked at Liu Fang's footsteps that were getting farther and farther away, turned his head and looked coldly at Li Yi who was standing behind him, and asked in a weird manner: "Are you sure she is the dumb eighth lady of the Zuo Xiangfu?" ”
"Go back to the little prince, the small one is sure, the little one will not be mistaken." Li Yi replied respectfully.
"I didn't expect to meet someone who interested Xiao Wang." The man sneered in a low voice, "People who dare to hurt Xiao Wang, such a person, Xiao Wang seems to have never left his life." ”
Li shook his heart and lowered his head.
I saw the man flick his sleeves and turn around, "Go to Pan's Mansion." ”
After the man turned around, Li Yi suddenly said cautiously: "Little princess, little princess, she ......"
The word "little princess" made the man suddenly raise his hand to put his hand on Li Yi's shoulder, and then slowly exert force, turned his head to look at Li Yi and laughed softly, "Li Yi, what did you just say?" ”
The man's hand on Li Yi's shoulder grabbed his shoulder tighter and tighter, so hard that he could faintly hear Li Yi's shoulder make a soft clicking sound, as if he was about to crush his shoulder blades, only to see Li Yi's face gradually turn white, but he only dared to lower his head, and he didn't even dare to frown, and hurriedly said: "The little one didn't say anything." ”
"Really?" The man asked with a faint look in his eyes, stared at Li Yi's face for a moment, and saw that he kept his head down, so he slowly relaxed his strength, and then patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Li Yi, do you know what Xiao Wang appreciates most about you?" ”
"Little ones don't know." Li Yi hurriedly replied.
"Xiao Wang appreciates you the most, you don't talk much and can do things."
Li Yi immediately lowered his head, and the man patted him lightly on the shoulder twice, and ordered: "Xiao Wang, you don't need to follow here, go back to the mansion and ask carefully to see who let her out of the mansion." ”
"Yes, little prince." Li Yi didn't dare to say anything, and respectfully waited for the man to get on the soft sedan chair, and then he dared to raise his hand and touch his shoulder that had been pinched by the man, the pain was self-evident in his eyes, and the corners of his forehead were dripping with sweat. Because there were three disgusting people following behind, Liu Fang did not continue to walk in the market, and it was impossible for her to climb into the courtyard from the high wall of the backyard of the small medicine house, so she could only choose to go back from the gate of King Yi's mansion.
The palace guards naturally didn't recognize Liu Fang, the prince of the world, and it was because of her that she walked up the five-step stone steps in front of the palace gate and was stopped by the guards, and the family who followed her all the way did not come forward to explain her identity but laughed behind her, looking like she was waiting to see her jokes.
"Hehehe, doesn't Mrs. Shizi know that Shizi can only go through the side door of the palace to enter and exit the palace? Since the lady is married to the prince, she naturally has to go astray like the prince. I heard one of the housekeepers sneer.
Partial door? Liu Fang's eyes suddenly flashed a cold glow, Si Jixia could only enter and exit the Yi Wang's Mansion through the side door of the palace? What is the meaning of the existence of people who are not allowed to enter or exit the main gate in this palace?
In this life, Liu Fang just wants to be an ordinary woman, she can endure everything, and the ridicule of the family members at this moment should have no effect on her, but at a certain moment, she suddenly remembered Si Jixia's pale face and stumbling steps when she carried water for her, and in an instant she only felt that her patience had reached the limit.
I saw that she turned around suddenly, and it was three or two steps to the family who was still laughing, and the laughter that had been made a moment ago came to an abrupt end at this moment, and everyone around looked at her in shock.
It was only at this moment that her right hand was tightly pinching the throat of the famous man, the hood on her head was lifted when she had just moved, her moonlight face came into view, her black hair was leaning on her shoulder, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she was smiling, and she was incomparably beautiful.
However, at this moment, her beauty is not like a fairy in the sky, but it makes people feel cold, Sensen's cold.
Liu Fang was indeed laughing, but this smile was as cold as an ice blade condensed by the coldest snow in the depths of winter, as if she was accidentally shattered by this ice blade, she was obviously far less tall than that family, but at this moment, she saw her pinching the neck of that family and lifting him so that he only touched the ground on his toes!
She endures, she doesn't make a move, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have this ability, and it doesn't mean that she is bullied, even if this body has not practiced martial arts, as long as she Liu Fang wants to do something, there is never anything she can't do.
For a while, everyone was so shocked that they forgot to save the family in her hand, only to see that the family Ding's complexion gradually turned from white to purple because he couldn't breathe, and the wrist that was holding Liu Fang tightly gradually became weak, seeing that he was about to take his last breath, Liu Fang suddenly let go of his hand, and Jia Ding immediately covered his heart and coughed violently.
Liu Fang lowered his hand, pulled out the handkerchief from his waist and wiped his right hand and wrist vigorously, and turned to look at the guards on both sides of the palace gate.
Seeing that they were going to stop Liu Fang again, who was slowly walking up the stone steps, the family who had taken a breath touched his neck and shouted at the two guards: "Let her in!" She is Mrs. Shizi, really Mrs. Shizi! ”
The guard frowned deeply, Li Yi happened to return to the gate of the palace at this time, and when the family saw him, he hurriedly grabbed his arm and said with a pale face: "Brother Li, tell them quickly, this woman is really Mrs. Shizi!" ”
They saw Mo Shan scratch his two arms with their own eyes this morning, they didn't quite believe what Mo Shan said at the time, they didn't believe that he suffered this kind of crime in the shabby courtyard of the prince, now it seems that Mo Shan is not lying, that mute woman...... I want to strangle him to death! And she looks like a delicate weak woman! If she wasn't allowed to go in again, she would dare to choke him in front of the gate of the palace one moment, and she wouldn't dare to take his life the next moment!
When the guards saw Li Yi appear, they immediately set their eyes on Li Yi, Li Yi was the little prince's person, and what he said would not be false.
Li Yi's shoulder, which had just been pinched by the little prince, hurt even more when he was dragged like this, and he saw him twisting his eyebrows tightly, and he could roughly know that it was the guards who stopped Liu Fang from letting her enter the mansion, thinking that the little prince had not said that he would not let her enter the mansion, so he nodded.
At this time, Liu Fang had already walked to the high threshold, raised his feet, stepped in, and never looked back at the few people of different colors behind her.
Liu Fang didn't know the road to King Yi's mansion, but she could clearly tell that this was not the place where she walked when she entered the mansion yesterday, although she had a red hijab on her head yesterday, thinking that she should have entered the side door yesterday.
There were two or three maids walking towards her in front of her, and when they saw her, they were all stunned, blocking her way, so that Liu Fang had to stop and look at them.
It took a long time to hear the youngest of them say with a question: "The prince...... Madam? ”
This is a little girl who is only about fourteen or fifteen years old, with double braids, a slightly chubby face, and looks very immature.
Liu Fang stopped his gaze on the little maid, almost no one in this house knew her, how did the little girl recognize her?
Liu Fang nodded slightly, and saw the little girl hurriedly saluting her: "The slave has seen Mrs. Shizi!" ”
Before Liu Fang could signal anything, the little girl secretly looked up at her, who expected to meet her gaze, and quickly lowered her head again, and at the same time hurriedly got out of the way.
But who knew that Liu Fang had only taken a few steps forward, and the little girl actually ran over, nervously and cautiously: "Madame is looking for the prince?" More than an hour ago, the slave saw the prince go out of the house. ”
Liu Fang couldn't help but glance at the little girl, the little girl didn't dare to look at her, so she lowered her head and said nervously: "Madame, don't you know how to go to the side door?" Madam...... Do you want a slave to show your wife the way? ”
After the little girl finished speaking, she raised her head slightly and looked at Liu Fang's reaction carefully, Liu Fang was silent, and then nodded slightly, only to see the little girl laugh immediately, stretched out her hand to show Liu Fang the way, and finally pointed out the road to the lonely medicine to her, and after she said this, she respectfully lowered her hands.
The little girl pointed the way very clearly, and the coldness in Liu Fang's eyes faded a little, and then smiled at the little girl and nodded lightly, and walked away.
Liu Fang's gentle smile was like a fairy, which actually made the servants lose their minds again, and after a while, they whispered excitedly.
"Xiaoping Xiaoping, how do you know that she is Mrs. Shizi!?"
"Yesterday, when the prince got married, when Qingshan went to pick up the prince, he only told me that Mrs. Shizi was as beautiful as a fairy, I, I guessed ......"
"Is this really Mrs. Shizi? looks so beautiful, how can such a beautiful person marry the son? ”
"It's indeed a big beauty, I thought the little princess was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, but I didn't expect Mrs. Shizi to be even more beautiful than the little princess."
"Have you seen the little princess? Where did you meet the little princess!? ”
"Just now, the little princess went to Fanghua Courtyard to give tea to the side princess, I passed by and secretly took a look, it was as beautiful as a flower like a fairy, but it seemed to be a little worse than Mrs. Shizi, although Mrs. Shizi was dressed plainly."
"But what's the use of this lady of the world no matter how beautiful she looks? Isn't marrying the son of the world equivalent to jumping into the fire pit yourself? I don't know how many years the body of the prince can last. ”
"Hey, I've heard that Mrs. Shizi is a mute, is this true?"
"It should be true, otherwise why didn't she speak just now, and if she wasn't dumb, how could she marry Shizi?"
"Xiaoping, when you see Shizi and Mrs. Shizi in the future, don't come forward to talk like you did just now, just stay on the side and don't speak, don't find trouble for yourself."
"But, but I think the world is very good, let's ...... like this"
"Shhhh In this case, don't talk nonsense in the future, you haven't been in the house for a long time, and you don't know many things, so be careful to be heard by others that you will have a bad time in the future, and you will go away and work. ”
Far away, Liu Fang could no longer hear the whispers of the maids, she lowered her eyes slightly, thoughtful.
The little princess? Like a fairy? The description of "fairy" made Liu Fang think of Liu Chengji's pearl in the palm of his hand, Liu Yi.
Liu Fang's slightly drooping eyelids and eyes flowed, "The little princess went to give tea to the princess on the side", which means that the little princess also married to the palace of King Yi yesterday, and Liu Fang did not rule out the possibility that Liu Yi was the little princess, even her soul pierced another world, this kind of thing has happened, what else is impossible to happen? According to the little maid's instructions, Liu Fang went to the side door, and before she got closer, she saw the two boxes she had found a casual worker to send to the house, and they were indeed here.
The side gate was not guarded by a sword like the main gate, but there were also two family members guarding it, and she also saw one of the family members kick a few times on one of the boxes, and sneered: "Lady Shizi's things? What is that Mrs. Shiko? I'm afraid that the son of the world will marry a fool or a cripple! ”
"I've heard he's dumb." The other family Ding agreed, but his voice was much quieter, not as bold as the Jia Ding next to him.
"Look at you like that, you still need to be so careful when you say a word, is it possible that you are afraid of being heard by anyone? Wow, even if the prince himself hears it, he can't do anything with me. The housekeeper kicked the box again as he spoke, and said with a look of extreme disdain and disgust, "What a broken box, this is the first time that someone has said to send something to the medicine for so many years that I have been working in this mansion, I don't know what it contains, let's open it and take a look." ”
I saw that he was about to reach out to open the box after he finished speaking, but when he was about to stretch out his hand, a sharp stone suddenly hit the back of his hand, so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction where the stone was flying, and when he turned his head, he saw Liu Fang, who was slowly walking towards them, his eyes were full of shock, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her appearance.
Liu Fang didn't look at them more, but walked slowly to them, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, which made the two family members look stupid, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, until the person who was still full of mockery and disdain felt a sharp chill on his neck, and he came back to his senses and looked down at his neck-
The silver hairpin on Liu Fang's head was taken off by her and held it in her hand at some point, the hairpin tip was not aimed at where but against the throat of the family, if he went forward, the sharp hairpin tip would immediately pierce his throat, he stared at the hairpin tip against his neck, his eyes widened in horror, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he could clearly see that the rolling Adam's apple touched the hairpin tip, bursting out a little blood.
"You, you, who are you!? What do you want to do!? The family who was still laughing at the moment ago was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and the other family member standing next to him was also frightened when he saw this, and he wanted to run but didn't dare to run, but he was so frightened that he stumbled and said: "This, this is King Yi's Mansion!" How dare you make trouble in King Yi's mansion!? ”
Scold! Trouble? Liu Fang didn't laugh angrily, she heard similar words today, but she really said one sentence after another, if she really wanted to make trouble, I was afraid that they would now kneel in front of her and beg for mercy instead of daring to yell at her like now, what Si Jixia can tolerate does not mean that she can tolerate it.
What about King Yi's mansion, if she really wants to turn her hands into clouds and cover her hands for rain, who can bear her?
Liu Fang just smiled lightly, and gently scratched the hairpin in his hand on the neck, which made the family's legs tremble, and he actually said with a crying voice: "You, you, what do you want......?" ”
Liu Fang naturally couldn't speak, just looked at the two frightened family members contemptuously, raised his foot and gently kicked the box next to his feet, and then looked in the direction of the silent medicine, raised his hand and pointed.
The housekeeper who was pressed by the tip of the hairpin against her throat didn't understand what she meant, but another housekeeper looked at the box and then looked at the direction of Liu Fang's finger, guessed what she meant, and said tremblingly: "Take this box...... Moved to Mrs. Shizi? ”
The person who sent the box said that this was something that Mrs. Shizi wanted, so these two boxes of things naturally had to be moved to the courtyard of Shizi, but they did not come to move it, but waited for Shizi to come back or Mrs. Shizi herself to move it.
The meaning guessed by the family made Liu Fang nod with a little satisfaction, and the family who was threatened didn't want to think about it, so he said again and again: "Move!" Move now, move now! ”
After Liu Fang glanced at him with disgust, he slowly put away the hairpin against his neck, and then looked at the two of them, and immediately pounced on them, picked up the box, raised their feet, and rushed in the direction of the silent medicine, but no matter how fast they walked, Liu Fang could follow behind not far away, so that he didn't have any chance to run away at all, only thinking that this matter must be reported to the little prince later, and someone dared to spread wild in the palace! And it's a woman!
The two family members moved the two boxes to the moon gate of the lonely medicine and wanted to run back, but as soon as they turned around, they saw Liu Fang coming unhurriedly, so they could only stand outside the moon gate and did not dare to run, and asked nervously: "Do you need to move in?" ”
Liu Fang glanced at the greenery in the courtyard of the lonely medicine, and didn't look at the family, but walked straight into the moon gate, and the two family members immediately ran away.
It's not that Liu Fang doesn't want them to move the boxes under the small corridor, but when she sees the green of the courtyard, she thinks of the distressed appearance of Si Jixia squatting there this morning to pick up those trampled plants, and these plants grow so good that she can't bear to destroy any of them.
Liu Fang opened the box at the moon gate, moved the bedding inside back to the house one by one, and carefully walked along the bluestone path in the courtyard that was so narrow that only one person could walk in the process of walking, without hurting a single grass or tree.
Tomorrow is the beginning of winter, she doesn't want to be able to sleep comfortably in the first winter of this time and space, and she will never wronged herself.
After Liu Fang made the mattress and quilt on her bed, he raised his foot and kicked the box where Xiaoyin slept comfortably, before carrying the other two bedding to the side room full of potted plants.
The potted plants in the house are growing quietly, the leaves of each plant are clean and not stained with a trace of dust, it can be seen that the master takes care of them carefully, Liu Fang finally fell on the bamboo couch that was only three feet wide, looked at the neatly folded but thin quilt, and put the futon in his arms on the bamboo couch.
Liu Fang put down the futon and planned to leave, but when she walked to the door, she turned her head back, walked back to the bamboo couch, opened the futon, spread it flat on the bamboo couch, and finally put the pillow in place, and then went out of the house, not forgetting to cover the door.
Liu Fang, who left the house, walked to the backyard behind the small building, climbed the tree and untied the hemp rope tied to the tree today.
In late autumn, it was dark and dark, and when Liu Fang grabbed the small bundle of hemp rope and wound it in front of the small building, the sky was almost completely dark.
Liu Fang was about to take the hemp rope back to the house and put it away, when there was a sound of gentle footsteps in the courtyard, and he turned around to see that it was Si Jixia who had returned.
Liu Fang stood under the porch only to see that the right hand under Si Jixia's cloak was swollen and swollen, thinking that he was carrying the rattan box, Liu Fang did not go back to the house for the time being, but put the hemp rope on the windowsill temporarily, and stood under the porch waiting for him.
Si Jixia lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and when he was about to walk to Xiaolou, he slowly raised his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Liu Fang who was standing in the night, and when he saw her, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't know when one more person came out in his yard, but it was only for a moment that his eyes changed to cool and faint.
Because of the night, Liu Fang didn't see the waves rippling in the depths of his cold eyes.
He remembered that he was already married, and he was no longer the only one who had died of death, he had a wife, a wife who would write "go early and return early" in the palm of his hand before he went out, a wife who did not think he was incompetent or crippled and voluntarily married him.
Even if she didn't know him at all.
"Sorry, I'm late." If he hadn't seen her, he would have forgotten that he had said that he would be back before the halfway point, but now it was too late.
Liu Fang just shook his head slightly.
"Why don't you light the lamp, can't you find the lamp?" Si Jixia looked at the still dark yard and house, and asked lightly, Liu Fang didn't bother to explain and nodded, only to hear Si Jixia say again, "It's cold at night, let's go back to the house." ”
Si Jixia entered the hall next to the master bedroom, found the oil lamp and the fire fold to light it, and the light of the fire on the ground reflected his face, and Liu Fang obviously saw the fatigue in his eyes.
"Miss Anuan." Si Jixia raised his eyes to look at Liu Fang, his eyes were a little cold, as if he had something to say, but when Liu Fang raised his eyes to look at him, he turned around and said lightly, "Miss A Nuan, wait a minute, I'll go cook for Miss A Nuan." ”
After Si Jixia finished speaking, he left the house without waiting for Liu Fang's reaction.
Liu Fang didn't go back to the backyard, because she could see that Si Jixia didn't like her to go there, and when she was in the kitchen this morning, she could see that his every movement was stiff, in that case, why should she make others unhappy.
Si Jixia didn't let Liu Fang wait too long, and half an hour later, he re-walked into Liu Fang's sight with a food box.
The dish is very simple, one dish and one soup, the soup is a vegetarian soup, the dish is a plate of fried dried bamboo shoots with meat foam, Si Jixia took these two dishes out of the food box and put them on the table a little uncomfortable and said: "The hour is not early, so make it simpler, Miss A Nuan will eat some, and call me later if she is hungry, then I will cook some supper for Miss A Nuan." ”
After returning from a busy work in the kitchen, Si Jixia's face became even paler, he still didn't sit down to eat at the table with Liu Fang, but just put the food on the table for her and left, Liu Fang went with him, and he didn't stay.
Simple dish, although the taste is light but just right, eating this is the craft of people who cook rice all year round, Liu Fang slowly chewed the rice that was suitable for the mouth, and the word "Si Jixia" jumped into her mind again.
No one has ever treated her so carefully, cooking for her or even boiling water for her and bathing her, although he did not regard her as a wife, but because of this, she could not help but think of him and things about him.
When the night was getting darker, Si Jixia returned to the small building in front from the back yard, at this time the light in Liu Fang's room had been turned off, but the wind lamp under the verandah outside her house was lit, and the wind lamp that was swaying in the wind seemed to be waiting for Si Jixia to come over for her, Si Jixia knew that she was just lighting a lamp for him, so that he could see the road more clearly.
The food box he brought from the kitchen was placed outside the door of her house at the moment, Si Jixia walked over, bowed down and opened the lid of the food box, when he saw the clean dishes and dishes, he was stunned, as if he didn't believe that Liu Fang could finish the food he took her, he looked at her closed door again, picked up the food box and walked back to the backyard.
When he came back and walked in front of Liu Fang's house, Si Jixia's footsteps still paused.
She didn't mean to ask him to go back to her house, and he didn't mean to be married to her, she didn't have any complaints or even any doubts about him, if it was another woman, she would have cried in despair.
And she was different from all the women he had ever seen, like a winter tea plum, beautiful and moving, but extremely quiet.
What did she come for, and why did she choose to come to him who was incomplete?
Si Jixia's heart has been a little chaotic since yesterday, and he can't always calm down, he strode away and returned to the small room of flowers and plants where he planned to live in the future.
Si Jixia thought about it, the first thing he did after entering the house was not to light the lamp, but to go inside, the room was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, but Si Jixia didn't make a sound of collision when he moved in this room full of flowers and plants, I don't know if he was used to walking in the dark or he was very familiar with the furnishings of this room.
He stopped when he walked to the innermost part of the room, and there were still pots of flowers and plants at his feet, but they were taller and taller than the ones in front, and they were placed on the trellises, which were high and short, single and three or four layers, and even the corners of the room were nailed with trellises, on which were placed small pots the size of palms, and the pots were planted with plants as large as fingernails and fat, and on each shelf were three pots of green plants with thick leaves, which were neat and lovely.
I saw Si Jixia raise his hand, and in the darkness he actually held the second small pot on the second layer of the flower stand accurately, and turned it to the left gently, only to hear the sound of "gurgling" as if something was opening in the dark, Si Jixia spun the flower pot but paused at this time, for a long time, when his hand moved again, it was the small pot in his hand to rotate, accompanied by the sound of gently closing the door gently.
He withdrew his hand, turned to the low cabinet that was leaning against the head of the bed, picked up the fire fold on the counter, lit the oil lamp on the low cabinet, and then prepared to rest in his clothes.
When he saw the bamboo couch that had completely changed, looking at the new mattress and new quilt and new pillow neatly spread on the bamboo couch, he was stunned, this was the first time he was stunned in the past two days, it seemed that after seeing the girl named Liu Fang yesterday, he would always be involuntarily stunned.
Is that the purpose of her leaving the house today......? She didn't say it, it didn't mean that he didn't know that she was out of the mansion today, because the people in this mansion wanted to see his jokes every day, how could he not know about her going out of the mansion, on the contrary, he knew it as soon as he stepped into the side door of the palace.
Si Jixia gently brushed the quilt with his fingertips, the soft and warm feeling reminded him of when he was a child, when he was a child, his mother would lay a mattress quilt for him so neatly when the weather became cold, he still clearly remembered the warmth and softness he felt in it and the smell of the sun, but such a thing was far, far away for him.
It seems that he hasn't slept on a soft quilt for a long, long time, what kind of feeling is it?
Si Jixia untied his robe, took off his shoes, lifted the quilt, and slowly lay down on the bed.
He lightly covered the quilt on his body, and the thick and soft quilt touched his lips and the tip of his nose, at that moment, Si Jixia's heart beat a little fast, because he asked about the fragrance left on the quilt, the smell was very light, but for him with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, this faint fragrance was not difficult to discern.
Si Jixia turned his face slightly, and the pillow also had the same faint fragrance.
This is...... Miss Anuan's smell, when she was close to him during the day, what he smelled on her was such a fragrance, faint, shallow.
Si Jixia pulled up the quilt, covered half of his face, and looked at the roof quietly, his heart still beating a little fast.
It's true...... It's very warm, and the feeling of covering the quilt that my mother prepared for him in the winter when I was a child.
Tomorrow will be the beginning of winter.
He didn't regret that he hadn't spun the little pot to the end.
What if he came back and heard countless things about what she had done today, even if he asked her, what could he do? If she wants to say it, she can say it, and if she doesn't want to say it, she can just say it.
What needs to happen will happen, and what should come will always come.
