Chapter 1: The Banquet (10)
Qingqian returned home from the hospital after lunch, and he didn't want to, his father was at home.
The temperature is very high, and the bright sun is dazzling tight. On the bluestone bricks outside the main courtyard, the servants sprinkled water, and there was a trace of heat, and soon the wet stains disappeared. Stepping on it, the heat on the feet and neck. Yan Ye was playing chess alone in the living room, Qing Qian really couldn't figure it out, on such a hot day, his father could still calm down and play chess.
My father didn't like to be disturbed when he played chess, so he walked up to Yan Yezheng lightly and watched the chess game for a while. I really don't see what's going on, I'm working on the chess pieces over there. Yan Yezheng's voice came: "You got up early today and went there?" ”
"Go see a friend." Yan Ye has always only asked about going out shallowly, and it is rare to ask such a question today. I thought that the military department would keep the assassination secret anyway, and it was better not to tell my father.
"I have asked someone to buy you a ticket for the latest flight, and you can prepare well at home these days." Yan Ye was talking, but his eyes were looking at the chessboard, as if he knew something very small.
"Father!" Before Yan Yezheng made a decision, he would always discuss it with Qingqian. This time it was a hasty decision without warning.
"I want to wait until your birthday is over, and you told the man not to buy a ticket." Yan Yezheng has always been good at discussing, and he is very spoiled by Qingxiao. Thinking about his own begging, his father would definitely change his mind.
"Nonsense." Yan Yezheng 'snapped' the chess pieces on the chessboard, and he was already angry.
"Father......." Qingqian didn't want his father to have such a big temper, and he was frightened for a while. Stunned, he stood on the spot.
"Don't go out again these days, prepare well at home." After Yan Yezheng finished speaking, he went straight out of the living room.
Qing Qian stood in the living room for a long time, aggrieved and annoyed. After thinking about it, I can't figure out where my father's inexplicable temper came from. Back in his yard, the maid Xiaoxi was watering the yard. only said: "Why is Miss coming back now, the master has been waiting for Miss for a day." ”
Qingqian's heart jumped, could it be that his father already knew that he went to visit He Shiyi and was angry. My father always didn't like to move around with the military department, and he also taught Qing Qian not to associate with people in the army.
Thinking of the crux of the problem, Qingshan relaxed.
Dinner, as usual, is eaten by two people. Qingqian specially instructed the kitchen to make Yan Yezheng's favorite horseshoe crispy eel. Yan Yezheng was still silent, but when he saw the dishes on the table, his expression on his face was obviously much softened.
"Father." Seeing that Yan Yezheng had almost eaten, he put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Hmm."
"I went to visit Major He in the hospital today, and the reason why I didn't tell you is because ......" Qing Qian told Yan Yezheng in detail what happened to the students.
"Major He saved your life, as it should be." Yan Yezheng's tone was calm.
"And you, father?" Qingqian didn't expect that his father was not annoyed by this matter, and he suddenly became puzzled.
"The Cao Gang had a big incident a while ago, and the life and death of the Cao Gang are unknown. It is estimated that Ge Jing will soon return to Jinyuan to preside over the overall situation. I'm worried that my father is still unwilling, so I want you to go abroad as soon as possible. Yan Yezheng frowned, as if he didn't want to mention the matter.
"Father." Qingqian didn't expect that his father suddenly urged him to go abroad because of this.
Five years ago, Qing Qian had a holiday with Ge Jing, the youngest son of the Cao Gang, which caused a sensation in Jinyuan. The Yan family offended the Cao Gang, and they almost didn't even have a place to stand in Jinyuan. Later, Yan Yezheng asked the Qi family of the "Jinyuan First Merchant" to intercede, and the Cao Gang did not pursue it. As the young master Ge in the incident traveled away from home, the matter slowly subsided.
"For the father, I don't want to tell you, but your son." Yan Yezheng smiled helplessly, his face full of doting.
"I went abroad, so what do you do?" Thinking of his father's hard work, Qingqian felt ashamed and guilty in his heart, and his voice was choked.
"The boss of the Cao Gang once promised that he would never hurt the lives of our father and daughter. The Cao Gang has always made a promise, and they will not embarrass me. As a father, I only feel that Ge Jing is not dead to you, but I am afraid that ......" Yan Yezheng did not say what he said later, but he knew what his father meant.
The shallow hand unconsciously touched the wrist, and after a few years, there, the faint scar was still there. It's been five years, and I'm no longer the ignorant and reckless child I was back then.
"I listen to my father." In the past few years, Qingqian has found that he has become more and more accustomed to saying this.
"Father, these days, I want to go to the hospital to take care of Major He." Qing Qian had already gone out, and suddenly turned around and said.
Yan Yezheng's expression was changing, and his hand holding the tea bowl was tense for a moment: "It should be so." ”
"Thank you, father, I'll go back to the house first, and you can rest early." Qing smiled lightly, turned around and walked out of the door lightly. Two pearl earrings under the ears, gently shaking
A complete set of sofa seats, one-color tea utensils, and beautifully framed picture frames do not have the usual smell of disinfectant water in the ward. On the small cabinet in front of the bed, a bouquet of bright white jasmine flowers fills the room with a fragrant fragrance. Qing Qian's feet have already stepped on the shiny mahogany floor, or do you suspect that this is in Huaijiang Hospital?
Huaijiang Hospital actually has such a ward!
"Miss Yan, you're here." Qing Qian was still hesitantly looking at the ward, and Wu Wu had already greeted him.
"Why did you change the ward? Make it easy for me to find. Qing Qian came back to his senses, but after only a few days, He Shiyi's face was already very good. Qingqian entered the door, and He Shiyi was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book.
"It was ordered by the commander himself." Wu Wu said with a hint of spirit in his words.
"Oh, no wonder. It seems that I probably have no place for this flower. When I came in, I saw a basket of flowers at the door. Seeing the layout in the ward, it dawned on Qingqian.
"How can there be no place to cha? When Miss Yan comes, she will always bring flowers. Our major specially ordered to leave a vase, and I went to fetch water. Wu Wu smiled and went out with a vase, not giving Qingqian a chance to argue.
Qing Qian knew that He Shiyi must not have ordered such a sentence. However, He Shiyi leaned on the side of the bed and did not deny it. Just looked at her with a faint smile.
Qing Qian was wearing a lake blue short-sleeved cheongsam today, and her hair was not pulled up. The color of the cheongsam is the same as the color of the current schoolgirl outfit. She stood in the ward with pomegranate flowers in her hand, in a red flower and blue dress, like a shy schoolgirl. Seeing this situation in He Shiyi's eyes, his heart seemed to be gently crossing the center of the lake, causing ripples in circles. It was a very gentle thing, but a gentle stroke could break the mirror-like lake.
When I went out today, I saw that the pomegranate flowers in the yard were blooming very well, so I broke a few branches. Holding the flowers, Qingqian stood in the center of the room, stared at by He Shiyi for a long time, and felt shy in his heart.
In the air, the fragrance of flowers is intense.
"Why did Wu Wu go for so long? I'll take a look. The hand holding the flower branch unconsciously used strength. The flower branch broke, and there was a sudden pain, and Qingqian suddenly woke up and walked out of the ward in a panic.
Out of the room, Qingqian leaned against the wall outside the ward, his breath was disordered, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
In the ward, He Shiyi looked at the closed door. It was a cold face, and a light smile was raised.
Wu Wu accompanied him and talked for a while, and then went back to the military headquarters to do business. As soon as Wu Wu left, He Shiyi continued to read the newspaper, and the room fell into silence again. There is fresh fruit on the bedside table, and if you look at the logo on the basket, you will know that it is a foreign trade product. In such a seasonal season, there are still oranges to eat. Qingqian picked a yellow-orange orange orange and peeled it for He to eat.
As soon as the orange was peeled open, a sweet and sour breath peculiar to the orange hit the tip of the nose, and the mouth seemed to have a sour taste. Qing shallow peeled the orange very cleanly, and even the layer of white orange on the orange pulp was peeled clean. She lowered her head and concentrated on peeling oranges, and her loose hair went to both sides, revealing a pinch of white skin on her stamina, which could be broken by blowing.
He Shiyi was originally led by the orange fragrance to raise his head. As far as the eye can see, it is this place that has been bumped into. For a while, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Calm down for a moment, and then just be curious:
"Miss Yan, this orange is really clean."
"This orange shreds have a bitter taste." Peeling oranges lightly has always been customary.
"In fact, orange silk is a good thing, and it has the effect of rationalizing qi and dissolving phlegm." He Shiyi remembered that Aunt Zhuang once told him when he was at home.
"I just peel this layer of silk from this orange, which is both beautiful and delicious, and it takes a little effort, but it's nothing. However, it was a wasted effort. Qing Qian no longer peeled the remaining orange shreds, and handed the peeled oranges to He Shiyi.
