Chapter 4 Gifts
Chapter 4 Gifts
Lifting the lid of the box, a cool air came to his face, the white mist was thick, and the red fruits in the box were neatly stacked, Xiao Dong had never seen them.
She took one out and looked left and right. The fruit has a honey-like ripe aroma, which is mouth-watering.
"What is this?"
Hu Shi picked one up and looked at it, and smelled the fragrance again: "It's really good, I've never seen this kind of fruit, eighty percent of it was brought by Young Master Qin from his hometown." β
Xiao Dong smiled: "It's a bit like Bodhi fruit." β
"That's right, but the Bodhi fruit isn't that big." Hu Shi said: "Young Master Qin instructed that this fruit is not in the way of the heat-relieving soup I just ate, and it doesn't hurt to eat more." β
Xiao Dong took a bite, only to feel crispy, sweet and juicy, full of fragrant flavor.
"Is it delicious?"
"Well, Mama Hu will also try it."
Hu shook his head and said, "I just drank some more soup, put this away and eat it slowly." β
Xiaodong didn't eat anything for dinner, it was rare that she liked this fruit, and Hu was reluctant to taste any of them, and Hongfu said on the side: "Mother Hu, I'm afraid this will be put in the ice cellar." β
Xiao Dong's side, Hong Aya and Hong Ying, were both married last year, and now the four new ones are also named according to their original names, and Hongfu is the most stable of the four.
"Is this fruit for me alone, or is it both from my father and brother?"
Hu didn't know either, Hongfu said: "This is easy, I'll ask someone." β
She called a little maid to inquire, and came back and said, "Only we have here, and the prince of the courtyard said that there is no this, and the prince has not come back yet." β
"That's three parts, one for my father and one for my brother."
When I counted them, there were twenty-four fruits, and there were exactly eight of them in three parts.
"The county lord should lie down and rest for a while, be careful and dizzy."
Xiao Dong lay down, but he pulled Hu's sleeve and didn't let go: "Mother Hu, don't go." β
"Don't go," Hu Shi smiled and sat on the edge of the bed with a fan, fanning her for the cold: "Today is the queen mother's thousand autumns, and there are many people, so go to bed quickly." β
"Well......" Xiao Dong squinted: "The fifth princess gave a bottle of very precious Jade Guanyin......"
To be honest, Xiao Dong was a little puzzled.
Concubine Ming is a very cautious person, low-key, and never does eye-catching things. Why did you change the birthday gift this time?
"I also saw Qin Nu, she sang a very good Taiping Changsheng tune, and after two days, my father was free, and asked her to come to the house to sing again, I heard that she brought out a junior sister, and she also has a good voice."
Hu Shi responded: "I have also heard that the fourth in line, everyone calls the fourth girl, and it is said that it is no worse than the Qin girl." β
These people in the teaching workshop are also eating youth, they entered the industry at the age of seven or eight, and after twenty they began to decline, and the real days in the middle were three or five years. When you are old, you either redeem yourself or stay in the workshop to teach......
Xiao Dong was a little sleepy, and listened to Zhao Lu outside and asked, "Is my sister asleep?" Feeling better? β
Xiao Dong tilted his head and looked out, the outer room was brighter than the inner room, and through the gauze screen, Xiao Dong saw Zhao Lu wearing a light moon white bamboo cloth robe, followed by Qin Lie.
"I'm awake, brother, come in."
Hu Shi hooked up the tent, Xiao Dong saw that the single clothes on his body were not messy, and Qin Lie was not an outsider, so he didn't need to change his clothes.
"Brother, have you been drinking?"
"After a long absence, I was happy, so I drank a little."
No wonder the two of them smelled of alcohol as soon as they came in.
Xiao Dong can now sober up and look at Qin Lie carefully.
Zhao Lu stood with him, and it became more and more like the jade tree was in the windβit was that the tree was a little thinner and a little shorter. The young man was full of blood, Qin Lie's hair and eyebrows had grown black and dense before, but now they looked even harder, and his eyebrows were like two marks drawn by a pen dipped in thick ink, which were heroic and three-dimensional.
Qin Lie's appearance does not look like an authentic Central Plains person. He, as well as Yao Jinfeng, has some shadows of aliens in his facial features, with deep eyebrows and clear outlines. Ordinary people stand next to them and compare them, and their faces are as flat as a piece of bread, and they are devoid of color.
Xiao Dong compared Qin Lie's current appearance with the original him in his impression, and the original blurred and faded image gradually became clear and distinct, and he felt both familiar and a little strange in his heart.
After a few years, everyone has grown up and ...... It's changed.
Zhao Lu tested the temperature of Xiao Dong's forehead, and then carefully looked at her face, and confirmed that she was fine, before he breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that you didn't eat much for dinner, did you drink the summer soup?" β
Hu said: "The soup is drunk. The county lord of the fruit that Young Master Qin asked people to send tasted one and said it was delicious. β
"Well, thank you Brother Qin, what kind of fruit is that?"
Qin Lie smiled slightly: "Sister Xiaodong, do you remember when you were a child, we built snow horses and painted flowers on the snow tray that winter?" β
"Remember," the flower was very beautiful and the shape was special, and Xiao Dong was very impressed: "It's the red phoenix flower from your hometown, right?" β
Qin Lie nodded: "This is the fruit of the Red Phoenix Flower." But when the fruit is plucked from the branches, it can only be left for a day, and if it is delayed, it will rot. β
"Ah, it's a long way from Suizhou to here." It's not easy to get these fruits in good condition.
Xiao Dong suddenly thought of "When I ride the red dust concubine and smile, no one knows that it is a lychee", and his face was suddenly full of black lines.
Ahem, overthinking. She is not Yang Guifei, and Qin Lie is even more unlikely to be Emperor Tang Ming.
Xiao Dong had countless questions to ask Qin Lie, why didn't he say goodbye at that time? Where did you go after leaving the capital? How has he spent all these years? When did you come back to the capital? What is he doing now, is he still studying? And also......
Yao Jinfeng's situation.
Xiao Dong instinctively believed that Qin Lie must know about Yao Jinfeng's situation.
Their hometown is also in the same place, they arrived in the capital together and left together.
Hu Shi looked at them as if they had something to say, and retreated.
Xiao Dong hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin, do you know...... How is Sister Jinfeng now? β
Qin Lie and Zhao Lu glanced at each other: "She is very good now, and she is about to get married." β
"Really?" Xiao Dong's voice was high, and he quickly covered his mouth.
A boulder that had been pressed in his heart for many years was finally removed, and Xiaodong was happy and sad again, and he was full of emotion for a while.
No, you can't cry anymore.
She quickly cheered up: "That's good, she...... In what place? Who do you want to marry? β
Qin Lie didn't hide it at all, and said it directly.
He did leave the capital with Yao Jinfeng and returned to Suizhou, Yao Jinfeng did not return to Yao's house, nor did he return to Zitan Mountain, but went to Qin Lie's hometown Dongquan.
"She and my mother are very good-tempered, the two of them are like mother and daughter, and they often treat me as an outsider." Qin Lie said that he was left out in the cold, but his expression was calm and calm, and he did not complain about being "abandoned": "The people of Dongquan are simple, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, you can go there to see her if you have the opportunity in the future." β
Xiao Dong nodded happily: "Okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance." β
But having said that, Xiao Dong felt that she ...... Maybe there is no chance of going far.
She has a lot, her father's spoiling, her brother's care, the queen mother's care, and the status of the county lord......
But in this day and age, women don't have much freedom. Even if she is the county lord, she will not be an exception.
"She also asked me to bring you a gift, but I didn't bring it today, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Hearing that there was a gift received, Xiao Dongmei smiled - it was not that she was greedy for money and liked gifts, but that every gift represented a heart.
Yao Jinfeng would think about asking Qin Lie to give her a gift, indicating that she had not forgotten her.
It's not in vain that Xiaodong has been thinking about her and worrying about her for so long.
"By the way, when did you arrive in the capital? Where do you live now? β
Zhao Lu snorted: "The people of Qin Gongzi have a big heart, and they can't look down on our Anwang Mansion, so they went to live in the famous Sihaiju." β
Qin Lie laughed: "Look at what you said." Now it's no better than when I was a child, when I was thick-skinned, I can say that I don't know anything, so I came to eat and live for nothing. Now you can't use ignorance as an excuse. β
Xiao Dong was also unhappy: "It's not that there is no place to live in the house, why do you want to stay in an inn?" Hurry up and move back, that yard has been empty since you left. β

I cut my son's hair today - I bought scissors or clippers or something, he didn't cooperate, and as a result, he cut half of the length and half of the short, and it was uneven like a dog gnawing on the thatch~~ I was retching and choking when I cried, which is cutting his head like killing his head......
After tossing, I feel that I have suddenly aged several years~tears~~
Roll around and ask for tickets~~~~
