In the scorching summer, the scorching sun scorched the earth like fire, this day Lin Qingji after lunch, holding a book leaning on the couch under the window to read slowly, unconsciously sleepy came and fell asleep slowly, when he woke up, he only felt that a cool cool air in the house was accompanied by bursts of elegant fragrance, and he only felt that the heat was greatly dissipated.

After opening his eyes, he saw that the brass ice leaked next to him, and there were more than a dozen or hundred or pink lotus flowers inserted in the ice water that had melted, slim and elegant, and a woman wearing a light cyan dress and elegant dress was bowing her head to serve these lotus flowers, and the fragrance she smelled just now was emitted by this lotus.

Seeing Lin Qingji wake up, the woman in the plain dress looked up and smiled, without powder, without any decoration, but her complexion was more beautiful, her eyes were like water, and her green temples were like clouds, she was a beautiful woman who came out of the dust, just like the lotus flower in her hand.

Lin Qingji was accustomed to seeing the daughters of the big families dressed up and pretending to be high, and was more familiar with the cozy behavior of the women in the green building, and saw that the woman in front of her had no head scratching and clinging to the heart, and suddenly felt a tremor somewhere in her heart, as if a seed broke through the soil deep in her heart and sent out a sprout.

After sorting out the vibration in his heart, he said gently: "On such a hot day, if you don't rest in the house, how can you think of picking these lotus flowers to see." ”

The woman who knelt on one knee stuck out her tongue, revealing a touch of playfulness and said: "When I was at home before, I specially asked people to get two large vats and plant lotus leaves in the courtyard, and in summer, you can smell the fragrance of lotus flowers in the whole house, and put them in ice water to condense and relieve the heat. Falling Butterfly is good at making claims, I don't know if the son likes it? ”

"You like it, so why do you like lotus?" The smile spread on Lin Qingji's face, making people's hearts flutter, and the voice was as intoxicating as if it had magical power.

"Since Li Tang, the world has loved the nobility of peony, and Tao Yuanming, a Jin person, loves chrysanthemum, but I think that the lotus flower is out of the mud and not stained, it is very noble, and it is not the same as the pollution, and it is better to bend than bend." The woman replied calmly.

"Oh? It seems that you have read quite a few books before and know quite a lot. Lin Qingji's face was still as gentle as ever, and he smiled.

"When my mother was there, my father found a gentleman for me and taught him for six years, and then not long after my mother left, he resigned. He is also a lotus-like person. The loneliness under the butterfly's eyes was covered by the long and curly eyelashes, but it fell into Lin Qingji's eyes.

"Did you teach you the piano?" Lin Qingji changed the topic and asked.

"Sir has taught me, but I only know a thing or two." Luo Die is not used to calling herself a slave, but the Lin family is not strict with her subordinates, and Lin Qingji is a casual person, so she doesn't care.

"Would you like to play a song?" Lin Qingji raised his eyebrows and asked with a chuckle.

"Childe has already spoken, so it's better to be respectful than to obey." With Lin Qingji's invitation to raise her sleeves, the woman slowly walked to the other side of the pear blossom wood table and sat down.

After tidying up the dress, after trying the strings a few times, the slender jade fingers were covered with silk strings, and he raised his head and asked, "Childe, what do you want to hear?" ”

Lin Qingji still looked leisurely, closed his eyes and said indifferently with his hands: "You can play whatever you want to talk about!" ”

I saw the woman in front of the piano, the fingertips plucked, and the beautiful sound of the piano like water came out, which was a soothing tune of "Qingping Tune", and the music seemed to be like flowing water gently left over the empty valley jungle, as if it made people wander in the green and quiet deep forest canyon, which was particularly contrary to the scorching summer and noisy chirps outside the window.

After a long time, Lin Qingji opened his eyes and looked at the falling butterfly who had already walked to the side and was standing, and his eyes were clear and praised: "Although there is still some distance compared to Ah Zhi, there is another charm, not bad." ”

Luo Die, who was praised by Lin Qingji, did not show much joy, but said peacefully: "Fuqin is to purify your heart, so why do you have to compete with others." ”

Lin Qingji, who looked calm, couldn't help but look up and look at her deeply.

Lin Qingji picked up the celadon tea cup that was placed next to the couch, took a sip and frowned, "The tea is gone, let's go make another one." ”

Luo Die took the teacup, Shi Shiran walked out of the door, and after a while, Lin Yi looked at the back of Luo Die who disappeared outside the courtyard gate and walked to Lin Qingji's side, and said in a low voice: "Son, there is no problem with Luo Die's life history after investigation. ”

Lin Qingji bowed slightly, and said no more.

Since then, Lin Qingji's daily life, Luo Die took over one by one, although Luo Die was born in a rich family before, but she was clever and diligent and studious, so Lin Qingji's daily life was also well organized and even safe under her care.

Moreover, she herself is familiar with poetry and music, and can often drink tea and enjoy music with Lin Qingji, play games and paint.

In the blink of an eye, the days have flown by, and the time of January has passed, although Lin Chengde and Lin Qingzhi are not in the house, but the days with falling butterflies as their companions are also full and interesting.

One afternoon, seeing Lin Qingji returning to the house from outside, Luo Die walked happily to the kitchen.

I went to the lake in the early morning to pick fresh lotus seeds, and made a lotus seed soup that took an hour and a half to make and put it in ice water, ready to wait for Lin Qingji to come back and serve it to him to relieve the heat, and put Childe's favorite nectar and rock candy in it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the kitchen door, I saw a woman dressed as a maid standing in front of the desk, holding a small paper bag in her hand, and the yellow medicine powder could be faintly seen in the paper bag that I had not had time to put up.

Butterfly flashed to the side of the maidservant and shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to poison the Prime Minister's Mansion? Raising her hand and wanting to slash at the woman, the woman dodged the two and fought.

"What is the task sent by your father-in-law, little sister, don't forget, I can't imagine that you haven't done it for a month, do you have to disobey your father-in-law's order?" The woman snapped.

"Eldest sister, are you eldest sister?" There was joy and horror in Butterfly's eyes.

"Please don't kill him, what happened back then was a grudge between my father-in-law and his father, and it has nothing to do with him, I will ask my father-in-law for my guilt, and beg my eldest sister to give me some time." Unwilling to entangle and fight with the woman again, Falling Butterfly pleaded on the other side after a few rounds.

"Die'er, you can't be attracted to him, right? You are so confused, do you know that not only will you not be able to save him, but even you will be implicated, and the methods of your father-in-law will not be known to others, don't you and me? We bear the hatred of the country and the family, have you forgotten all this? Are you crazy? The woman had an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel.

"I fell in love with him, and I haven't forgotten the blood feud, but he was just a child back then, what does it have to do with him? My hands are stained with blood, but I can't do anything to him. Luo Die looked at the hands spread out in front of her, and said in a trembling voice as tears dripped down her smooth palms.

"Then I'll help you, the poison has already been put in this lotus seed soup, you just need to serve it to Lin Qingji and watch him drink it, your father-in-law is already suspicious of you, this is your only chance." The woman picked up the lotus seed soup and put it in Luo Die's hand.

Luo Die held the soup bowl in her hand, trembling as if the thing in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and fell to the ground with a snap, and Luo Die squatted down and curled up with her head in her hand.

"Evil fate, evil fate, you go back with me to ask your father-in-law in person, and I will also help you intercede, maybe you can still stay alive." The woman clenched her fists, stomped on the ground, and then sighed.

"Okay, I'll go back with you, I'm willing to exchange my life for my son's life." Luo Die wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and said firmly.

She didn't see a trace of grief in her eldest sister's eyes, she still underestimated her father-in-law, when Jin Guo and Dongying killed and injured so many people in the first battle, what can support her father-in-law to live for so many years is revenge, Luodie is still too naïve, although her father-in-law has adopted and raised them for so many years, and she loves Luodie even more, her appearance, knowledge and martial arts are also outstanding among the sisters, but if she can't become an arrow in the hands of her father-in-law and insert it into the heart of the enemy, then what can be the price? can only destroy her with his own hands......
