The girl standing quietly under the eaves held up a green bamboo oil paper umbrella, the handle is green bamboo, the umbrella color is light and green, the umbrella surface is not embellished, the umbrella handle is slightly raised, revealing the woman's white forehead, such as the delicate facial features of the strokes, her long waist and hips are not pulled up, like a touch of thick color in the smoke and rain, all hanging behind him, the beauty is more poetic than this smoke and rain.

However, the three steps and the slightly cracked bluestone slabs seem to bear thousands of years of trampling and bear them indifferently.

It rained one after another, and the stone moss on the bluestone slab was soaked by the rain, and the grass along the steps became darker.

Fu Shiwei looked sideways at the flowers on the steps, the fog and rain, she approached step by step with an umbrella, and the soft-soled embroidered shoes were wet by the rain, but she didn't realize it. Across a layer of steps, she stretched out her hand to cross the umbrella and cover the top of his head, her eyes were level with him, looking at his slightly stunned expression, slightly pursed her pink lips, and said: "My surname is Hua, and the boudoir is fragrant." ”

She raised her oil-paper umbrella slightly, lowered her eyes and looked at him fixedly, waiting for him to answer her, they had never spoken to each other since they first met in Cangjiao Town, even if they had met many times.

Fu Shi slowly read the expectation in her eyes, and no matter how slow she was, she realized that this sentence had a different meaning, "I know." ”

But there was not a single ripple in the word.

Hua Yixiang heard the raindrops falling on the umbrella surface, but her heart was wet under the umbrella in the air, cool, and the salty feeling of tears. The umbrella surface is not big, covering him, can't cover her, the cold rain hits the back, cool to the bone, she finally lowered her eyes, and said softly: "The road is slippery on rainy days, adults are careful." ”

"My lord, why do you go first......" Fu Xiaoshen hurriedly ran over from the front, through the cover of Fu Shi, he didn't see anyone at all, and when he saw the umbrella, and then captured the figure of Hua Yixiang, the whole person paused, he was still holding a big umbrella in his hand, pure black umbrella color, he didn't know how to advance or retreat for a while.

Hua Yixiang's hand holding the handle of the umbrella was tightly forced, prompting herself to turn around, from her heart like a deer hitting a few times and unable to hold herself to even a long breath that could not relieve the depression of the blockage in her chest. Her mind was full of his cold eyebrows, so close, so far away...... The flower lowered her eyes with incense and swallowed the sudden choking, but she couldn't stop the tears that dripped down.

This night, Hua Yixiang couldn't sleep again, she thought about the things of this time, how did she get to this point?

Because of the sale of tea in Linhua Mansion, she finally stopped thinking and worked hard, but she was uneasy because of Xuanhu's overly enthusiastic care, she especially couldn't accept other people's overtures, the kind of love and admiration that would make her unbearable and guilty, so it was better not to accept it.

When she proposed to resign, Xuan Hu was extremely surprised and unwilling, but they didn't sign a long-term contract, he had no reason to force her to stay, and he didn't even give him a chance to speak again, Hua Yixiang first mentioned that the reason for her departure was to find relatives, and her fiancé Jun was in the capital.

Xuan Hu was silent, his understanding of Hua Yixiang was not enough for him to doubt this statement, after all, if there was no reason to find relatives, why would a girl of such age go out, let alone go to the capital.

He was reluctant to settle her salary and let her go, but in the end he was still unwilling to tell Hua Yixiang: "I will go to the capital soon." ”

Hua Yixiang smiled and nodded, she didn't promise anything, she simply didn't answer what she said, and it could be regarded as ruthless to cut off the other party's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Hu didn't ask any more questions.

This made Qian Baiguo, who was listening to the corner, also surprised, and he didn't even pay attention to Hua Yixiang's excuse of resignation, just thinking about how they could let them go so easily?

There must be demons when things are impermanent, Hua Yixiang and others have been out for a short time, how can they know how complex and dark the outside world is? After thinking about it, they thought it was luck, and they only forgot about it for half a month.

After that, the difficulty of walking was no longer a journey, but a psychology, Hua Yixiang felt that she gradually lost the strength to go on, until she saw Fu Shi again today.

At that moment, she was stimulated so much that she couldn't help but walk over, determined to fight for it and confess to him.

He may never know that a simple sentence has spent all her courage, and she thinks that she will never have such courage again in this life, and finally pass on the words that she has thought about countless times.

Fu Shi naturally didn't know.

"My surname is Hua, and the word boudoir is fragrant." She was looking forward to it, and he replied to her.

That was the first time she felt that the wait was painful, and what was even more painful was that she could not wait for the result, leaving an embarrassment in vain.

He said a word and did not respond, which was more embarrassing than refusal, this is Fu Shi's cruelty and ruthlessness.

A nightly night, the cause was rain, wet clothes, or unbearable depression in my heart, Hua Yixiang herself didn't know...... I got sick all of a sudden, I couldn't eat the next day, and I had a bad appetite after leaving Linhua Mansion, and the whole person looked thin.

Qian Baiguo and Liangyu were frightened, and the chickens and dogs were jumping and babbling for a long time, and then they invited a doctor under the guidance of the shopkeeper.

After that, the doctor prescribed a prescription to dispense medicine, and waited for Hua Yixiang to take the medicine, and a whole day passed.

And Fu Shi, who temporarily rested at the inn for one night, had already left with Fu Xiaoshen and entered Beitang Ancient Town.

After Hua Yixiang got better, she couldn't help but ask the inn junior two about Fu Shi's whereabouts, and learned that they only stayed for one night and left yesterday, and her whole heart was cold. It took another two days of slow recuperation before she recovered.

Early this morning, they decided to leave the inn and go to the ancient town of Beitang, where the carriage traveled slowly on the rainy road for several days, and soon entered the city smoothly, but they never thought that they would meet them on the street and go out of the city.

Hua Yixiang was the first to see Fu Xiaoshen when Liangyu lifted the curtains to look at both sides of the street, and then, subconsciously searched around, and the moment she saw it, she quickly grabbed Liangyu's hand, and the curtain slid down and covered the window.

Liangyu obediently didn't move, didn't speak, looked at her and lowered her head to play with her sleeve, looking like a child who didn't know anything.

She endured and endured in the carriage, but still lifted a corner to look.

Dressed in azure civilian clothes, with a delicate jade pendant tied around the wide belt of his waist, his posture was long, and his face could not be seen clearly through a few people, and there was only one side silhouette...... The side face that attracted her at the beginning, what taught her to be unforgettable, was deeply involved.

"Xiangxiang, how many days are we going to stay here?"

"Don't stay, just leave." Hua Yixiang put down the car curtain, her eyes fell firmly on her fingertips, whether God asked her to meet, or many coincidences, she didn't believe it, the sky helped her, she could still lose?

"Huh? It's not like staying here to collect money for the road......"

"Look over there," Hua Yixiang poked her head out and showed her the way, "That's Fu Xiaoshen's carriage, follow them." ”

Qian Baiguo first lacked a horsewhip, and when the carriage sped up for a while, she was shocked, "What are you talking about?" Where is Fu Xiaoshen...... No, why should we follow him? ”

"If you follow it, you can go to the capital, and you can still spend no money, can you follow?" Flower with incense asked rhetorically.

Qian Baiguo quickly whipped again, and the carriage turned in a different direction, and then accelerated towards the outside of the city, heading straight for the carriage that was swaying and walking like a drunk strong man.

"Xiangxiang, you let me tell you what is good, isn't it, if you have this awareness, how many meals of sauce elbow can we eat......"

Qian Baiguo licked her lips as she spoke, she seemed to smell the fragrance of the sauce elbow, and summoned her in front.

"My lord, their carriage has been following behind." Fu Xiaohui has seen Qian Baiguo a long time ago, that guy is also picky in the crowd, which ordinary coachman is not unkempt, dusty, and stupid that she can't cover with a black short shirt, and her laughter is rattling, and she will be shocked three miles away, and she is not honest when she catches a car, and she is not a girl at all.

simply gave full play to the image of the native girl in the countryside, and Fu Xiaoshen was all in the clothes.

"Leave her alone, keep walking." Fu Shi closed his eyes, his mind was calculating the date of returning to Beijing, and then, slowly thinking, it was also time.

*

The Jiuhe Building in Beijing is famous in the north and south of the river, all because of a famous dish, five poultry chowder.

Let's not talk about this dish, just say that the craftsmanship of making this dish is an exclusive home remedy, and ordinary people really can't do it, and secondly, because it is the only one in the world that justifiably makes this dish.

In other words, what you can eat elsewhere can only be fakes, and authentic tastes cannot be tasted.

Jiuhe Building is decorated with a grand atmosphere, with three floors high, and it is full of people every day.

Outside the building, the colorful flags flutter high, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances the three big characters of 'Jiuhe Building', the long lantern of the restaurant is dazzlingly red, and you can't see the guests on the second and third floors when you look up, but the lobby on the first floor is overcrowded, and there are even people standing and waiting for a seat.

The two women who entered the door were one in front of the other, and the one in front was dressed as a maid and maid, and the latter was obviously a beautiful lady, and followed the door with a dignified demeanor.

The kid who ran the hall grinned and rushed over quickly, "The two of you are full today, so it's not easy to lead to the lobby and wait for a while, or ......."

The words were said to the maidservant girl in front, but his eyes were fixed on the young lady in the back.

"Isn't there no one upstairs? Let's go upstairs to eat. The maidservant who answered was obviously more bold, and strode towards the diagonal staircase.

"Oh, no, it's ...... on this"

Before he finished speaking, several calls came from the room.

"Table 5 ......"

"Where's the wine at table ten......"

"Hey, what's this, what's this......" quickly turned around with the tray and ran over.

The maidservant who had gone up the two stairs looked back and smiled, "Miss, come up quickly."

"Ah Qin, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Hehe," looking at her beautiful young lady in a summer shirt, the maidservant Ah Qin smiled, "It's not like I haven't eaten this dish for a long time, I'm a little hungry." ”

The two walked to the second floor, Ah Qin only turned around to talk, but when she arrived at the staircase on the second floor, she suddenly stretched out an arm diagonally, blocking the way of the two of them, and couldn't help but pause, frowning and raising her eyes.
