Chapter 37 Old News III
When Min Dao came in, I didn't see his face.
What caught my eye was a large cluster of plum blossoms, and the clear and distant fragrance was the night mist that quietly spread, which made me a little trance.
Then I saw Min Dao holding flowers. It took too many flowers to cover his upper body. He lowered the flower so I could see his face.
I've always found plum blossoms to be a strange and beautiful flower, not because they bloom in the harsh winter.
But...... Its branches are so vigorous and rugged, but the flowers are delicate and beautiful, as if two completely unrelated things have been spliced together.
The flowers had water droplets on them, and I thought it was snow, but when I got inside, the snow melted into water.
Min Dao must have been outside for a long time, his cheeks and nose were red from the cold, and he untied the cloak outside, and inside was a moon-white brocade robe, lining his red nose...... Ahem, like a rabbit in the snow.
"Miss Wu Ning, you ...... Does it matter? ”
"It's fine, it's just a little chill." I said, "This flower is so beautiful, where did it come from?" ”
"Do you like it?" His eyes lit up: "I chose them one by one, but I don't know which one you like, so I folded them all, I guess you must like it too." ”
"Sent to me?" I glanced at Wu Zhen, who was smiling with a "I guessed right" in her eyes.
This is the first time it has grown to such a size.
I didn't know what to say, so I paused, but I felt that my face was hot, and I didn't know if it was burning again, or I felt a little embarrassed: "If you fold it, others won't see it—besides, if you fold it down, the flowers will thank you faster." It's better to leave them on the branches. ”
Min Dao didn't know if he didn't understand, or if he thought about it all and said, "No." I folded in a plum grove behind the mountain, where no one went, and these plum blossoms bloomed and thanked there, and they were also wasted. Besides, take care of it, and you won't be grateful that this plum blossom can be kept in the house for a long time. ”
Yao Huang moved a stool, he sat on the edge of the screen, and handed the flowers in his hand to Yao Huang: "Annoying girl, put the flowers up." ”
Wu Zhen smiled and asked, "This flower is only for Wu Ning?" Anyway, she can't plug in so much, so divide me into two. ”
Min Dao hurriedly said: "This is nature, which branch does Miss Wuzhen fancie?" Take your pick. ”
Wu Zhen picked a branch of flowers. Handed it to me: "Do you think this branch is good?" ”
I nodded carelessly, "It's good." ”
"Then I'm going to have this branch."
Min Dao looked a little uneasy: "If I knew that Miss Wu Ning was unwell, I would definitely not have bothered so early-have you seen Lang Zhong?" What kind of medicine to take? I know a doctor or two, if I need to......"
"No, I don't. It really doesn't matter. ”
Yao Huang brought the tea, and Min Dao took a big sip of it, and jumped up.
Yao Huang was a little flustered: "It doesn't matter, right? The tea is somewhat hot...... It's all the fault of the slaves. ”
Min Dao's face flushed, and he said as he inhaled, "No, it doesn't matter...... It didn't get much hot. ”
It's almost red into shrimp. Still say it's not hot?
I tilted my head slightly.
How do you feel in your heart...... Well, well, if you want to laugh at him, then I'm just too unkind. But if I look at him again, I'm not sure I'll laugh out loud.
"Hurry up and serve herbal tea and take Xiangxue Disinfection Pill."
Yao Huang agreed. Hurriedly went out. Min Dao looked even more cramped than just now, and he looked embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet: "It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter......"
Yao Huang returned a moment later. There was only Xiangxue Disinfection Pill in his hand, but the herbal tea was not served. She bent her knees and whispered, "Miss Wu Ning, there is a Qi Gongzi outside who asks to see you." ”
Qi Gongzi?
Wu Zhen glanced at me, and she asked, "Young Master Qi?" ”
Yao Huang responded. Hand over a post.
Wu Zhen handed me the post.
The posts look like they're just ordinary things, and they can be bought everywhere.
Open it. Only three words Qi Boxuan were written on the post, one by one like an iron hook and a silver stroke, and the thick ink color seemed to be about to fly.
It's the first time I've seen someone write like this—it's so arrogant.
Wu Zhen frowned: "This ...... This man is not familiar with us, what is he doing here? ”
I also feel like I don't know.
I put the posts together, Wu Zhen thought about it, and said, "You just said that Wu Ning is sick and can't see guests, please go back." ”
Yao Huang took the post and went out.
Min Dao held the Xiangxue Disinfection Pill in his mouth, his mouth was closed tightly, but his eyes showed a look of doubt and curiosity. It was about the time when he was so hot just now, and he was stimulated by the smell of the elixir, and his eyes looked a little tearful, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were watery—if he was given a dress, he would really look like an innocent and beautiful little girl.
How could Qi Boxuan come? I don't want to have anything to do with this person.
Yao Huang went for a while and came back, holding the box in his hand: "Miss Wuning, Qi Gongzi has already taken his leave, this is what he asked me to hand over to the girl." She asked, "Girl, do you want to open it and see?" ”
Wu Zhen and I said in unison: "Don't open it!" ”
Just kidding, this can't be done! Last time in Tujiazhuang, wasn't the centipede that poisoned Mrs. Tu in a box? Who knows what's in this box? In case another scorpion snake comes out of it—
"You don't touch it, put it down."
Yao Huang was startled and carefully placed the box on the table: "I'll pour tea." ”
Wu Zhen and I stared at the wooden box together, for fear that the box would suddenly change something. On the side, Min Dao cleared his throat and asked cautiously, "What...... What's wrong with this box? ”
We both nodded our heads together.
Wu Zhen said: "Do you remember the box at Tujiazhuang's birthday banquet? ”
Min Dao was stunned, and said with a smile: "How can it be the same, it is someone who deliberately framed ......"
We know that Qi Boxuan is the initiator of the last delivery of the box, but Min Dao doesn't know.
"Besides, even if I am the wicked person, the same method is enough to use it once, how can I use it a second time? Doesn't that make everyone else a fool? ”
Min Dao said it as a joke, but Wu Zhen and I looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is called bystander clearing.
As soon as he said it, I also calmed down. I had a fever that I couldn't figure anything out. Otherwise, I wouldn't be nervous like this when I saw this box.
We don't have any grudges against the man with the surname Qi, and he can't do anything wrong with us.
However, if it is useless, why should he give me a gift?
Wu Zhen obviously thought the same thing, and muttered in a low voice: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”
"Put it aside, come back and ask Uncle Quan, and ask him to find someone to send back."
Min Dao stood up with a red face and said goodbye, he still had the pill in his mouth, and his speech was slurred. This fragrant snow pill is good for treating scalds and heat poison. Even when I put it in my mouth, because of the cold and spicy smell in it, my mouth overflowed - I have also taken this elixir. Min Dao spoke vaguely. Presumably because there is too much saliva and I am afraid of being ugly, my mouth is not very open, and it is extremely difficult to say two sentences.
Obviously we are the same age, and he is about a year or two older than me. But how do I think about it, he is still like a child, he can't hide his thoughts at all, and his face is very thin, he is even more like a girl than a girl.
"Thank you for coming to see me, and these plum blossoms."
"You have to like it. I'll send it back tomorrow. ”
I hurriedly said, "No, these are enough to be inserted." It's so cold, it's a long way from outside the city. ”
Wu Zhen sent Min Dao out for me. When we came back, we both stared at the box in a daze.
The box is just an ordinary wooden box, with copper corners and buckles, and of course, there is no lock.
"What's here?" Wu Zhen glanced at me: "Wu Ning...... Why did he send you something? ”
"I don't know." I shook my head: "This man is very thoughtful, who knows what he is thinking." ”
Wu Zhen whispered, "Do you want to ...... Open it and take a look? ”
I lay back. I sat for a while just now, and then I talked to Min Dao. I feel dizzy at this moment.
"If you want to open it, then you can open it."
Wu Zhen hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it, I don't dare." But ......" Wu Zhen sat down beside me and tucked the corners of the quilt for me: "I said, this Qi Gongzi, isn't it...... Got a liking on you? ”
"Just send something to say you like me? Then he specified that he liked Mrs. Tu the most, right? ”
Wu Zhen burst out laughing: "What you said is really hurtful. What about this box? Shall I ask Uncle Quan? He is the head snake of the land, and there is probably no place in this capital that he is not familiar with. Why don't you find someone to send it back? ”
"Let's leave it there for now."
I'm not curious about what's in the box.
But curiosity sometimes comes at a great cost, such as...... The former was Mrs. Tu, who was poisoned by receiving a gift from an unknown source.
Moreover, compared with the contents of this box, I am more curious, why did Qi Boxuan send me something?
I don't believe what Wu Zhen said, why he cares about me, or what...... Other thoughts.
The man didn't have the feeling of a young man from head to toe, and the word "love for the beginning" had nothing to do with him.
Well, even if he would have some thoughts about the girl like an ordinary young man, the girl was much more beautiful and generous than me, and she was more familiar and close to him.
When the medicinal soup came, I took the medicine, drank another bowl of porridge, and lay down again to rest. Most of the medicinal soups contained calming herbs, and I slept very deeply. I vaguely heard someone whispering in the corner beside me, and the wind blew the window paper rattling.
I opened a slit in my eyes, and there was a candle burning outside the tent, and I couldn't tell for a moment whether it was just nightfall, or if it was almost dawn—
Someone outside the tent was indeed whispering.
Moreover, it was a man's voice.
His voice was very low, probably afraid of waking me up.
At first, I thought it was Uncle Kwon or Lang Zhong who saw me. But if you listen closely, both are different.
Whether it's Uncle Quan or Lang Zhong, the voice is not like this.
It was the voice of a younger man.
"Speaking of the Wen family's affairs, there are many people in the capital who know about it, and if you come from other places, you naturally don't know - if you can have anything to do with them, it's better not to be involved."
Wu Zhen's voice whispered, "Why?" ”
"The people of their family ......," the man said halfway, and then hesitated: "In short, the reputation is not very good, and there are many people in the family. ”
