Chapter 31: Nostalgia
"That Qiu Xi really has some ability, and I don't blame you for planting her hands twice." Jade crossed Erlang's legs, knocked the fried pumpkin seeds in her hand, and spit out the skin all over the room.
Cersei slandered in his heart, if the Zhou family saw the jade like this, the eyeballs of the custody would fly out.
"She has only been there for a few days, and Lin Huaijue has changed her opinion of her, and coaxed Xia He Jiaotao in the second young master's courtyard to treat her as a sister, tsk." The jade spit out a melon seed shell with a "poof". The melon seed shell was like a steel needle, nailed to the cabinet, and after a little deeper, Jade shook her head in satisfaction and continued to spit on the ground.
Cersei rolled his eyes, glanced at the melon seed shell on the cabinet, dared not speak angrily, moved over and picked off the melon seed shell, and said in a low voice: "I don't count it as a plant." ”
A melon seed shell smashed on her head: "If I hadn't arrived in time for the second time, you would have been strangled to death by Lin Huaijue." By the way, aren't you going to toss her, but have you thought about it? ”
Cersei pulled the melon seed shell off her hair and pulled her hair annoyantly: "I didn't think about it, but she didn't like me, and sooner or later she would harm me again, so let's talk about it then." ”
Jade nodded: "It's okay, although Yuan Shijiu's brain is not good, it's no problem to protect you." Let's not get too close, lest there be complications, let's do the same as before. ”
Cersei was a little worried in her heart, but she also knew that Jade's concerns were right. Jade threw away the remaining melon seed shells, straightened her clothes, and returned to her dignified and cold appearance on her face, nodded at Chong Sese, pushed the door and left.
Cersei took a broom and slowly swept the melon seed shells into a pile. The room was gloomy, just after the spring rain, the broom swept on the slightly damp ground, and the sound of "brushing, brushing, brushing" was particularly dull and hollow. Just as she felt every time she thought of Lin Huaijin and Yan Cao, her heart seemed to be unable to fill anything, as soon as the names of those two people appeared, it was as if a stone had been thrown in, and there was only a muffled sound of empty rolling.
She has returned to the study to be on duty these days, but between her and Lin Huaijin, it is always like that night. The two were obviously in the same room, but they were always like a door, and they couldn't even meet their eyes. As for Yancao, Cersei asked Jade about her news several times, but Jade had to say "alive", and refused to say anything else.
The people she loves are getting farther and farther away from her. She put down her broom sullenly and called softly to the window, "Yuan Nineteen." ”
The window opened silently, and Yuan Shijiu gently and skillfully climbed in and knelt in front of her: "County Lord." ”
Yuan Shijiu is a very amazing person, I don't know where he usually hides, Cersei never feels his presence, but no matter when, as long as he calls softly, he is always on call.
Cersei waved his hand: "How many times have I said it, don't let the county lord come to the county lord, what if someone hears it?" ”
Yuan Nineteen glanced at it: "The subordinates have probed, and there is no one near the house, so it will not be heard." ”
Cersei helplessly: "Hurry up, I don't think I'm a county lord." I asked you to stare at Qiu Xi before, did you notice anything unusual about her? ”
Yuan Shijiu stood up: "Her subordinates have observed her for three whole days, and she has nothing abnormal except for going to Aunt Su's house once. ”
Cersei hesitated, "You don't just come back after a few glances." She really can't blame her for doubting that whoever asked her to show up every time she called Yuan Nineteen, she felt that Yuan Nineteen had never left this courtyard.
Yuan Shijiu's ability was questioned, and he looked dissatisfied: "The subordinates even found out how many mouthfuls of food she ate, how many baths she had, and how many times she went to the toilet!" ”
Cersei opened his mouth wide: "You...... You even look at other people's baths and toilets! ”
Yuan Shijiu looked insulted: "My subordinates can know what she's doing just by ear power!" ”
"Okay, good," Cersei hurriedly coaxed him: "It's all my fault, you did a good job, keep it up." ”
Yuan Shijiu pursed his lips and was about to say something, when suddenly his ears moved, and he flashed sideways behind the door.
Cersei was about to open her mouth when she saw Bezy push open the door and said, "Cersei, Forsythia has come to pass the word and asked you to go to Miss Cousin's courtyard tomorrow." ”
Se Se nodded in response, and Beth asked suspiciously, "Who are you talking to?" As he spoke, he glanced around the room.
Yuan 19 happened to hide behind the half-open door, covering his figure. Cersei smiled: "There is no one, but I am happy to read the book, and I am talking to myself." ”
Seeing that she really had a copy of "Exotics" in her hand, she could turn over the folds, and couldn't help but glance at her with pity, but she was stimulated when Yancao left, and comforted her: "You also go out more, don't always be alone in the house." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two of them were stunned, Bess was a little embarrassed on her face, and she immediately reacted and said, "I know, thank you, sister." ”
Beth turned around and went out, took a foot, thought for a moment and turned back: "I didn't hate you very much, once upon a time...... It's just that I can't get used to Yancao's enchanting appearance in front of the world. She was a little uncomfortable and added, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I like you." ”
Cersei smiled, and the room was full of light: "I don't remember the past for a long time. She was about to leave, and many things in the house had long been out of her mind, but she was still touched by Bessy's sudden kindness.
Beth was relieved, nodded carelessly, and went back to the house at night to lie on the bed, on a moonless night, the night breeze sent a trace of fragrant fragrance, although it was far away, it was still difficult to ignore, like a very smiling smile. It seems that Cersei is getting more and more beautiful, but for people of low status, beauty will only lead to disaster. Beth frowned, closing her eyes and not thinking about it anymore.
And when she saw Zhou Yunqing on the second day, she also had the same emotion as Bis.
A fourteen-year-old girl seems to be one day at a time. However, after not seeing each other for a few days, Cersei felt that Zhou Yunqing was a little more delicate. She stood gracefully beside a cluster of blooming moon flowers, smiling softly, and for a moment she couldn't tell which one was more beautiful.
"Cersei, do you want to come to me?"
Se Se was slightly stunned, and immediately understood her kindness, but shook her head: "Thank you, Miss, sooner or later you will marry the prince, and I can't hide from you when I come to your courtyard." ”
Zhou Yunqing said: "My brother is going to go out to travel in the next few days, and my mother is very sad, so I will go home to accompany her in a few days." If you follow me, and then you come back with me, I can ask my mother to keep you with her. ”
Cersei looked at this beautiful and considerate woman, and secretly sighed that the heavens would joke. Zhou Yunqing and Lin Huaijin are a pair of beautiful people, and there is no more suitable couple than these two, but they insist on letting others get involved between them. It's just that I don't know what kind of character the son who can make Zhou Yunqing so admirable.
Shaking his head. Not to mention that she was about to leave the mansion, even if she couldn't leave, she had a faint feeling that the Zhou family would not allow Zhou Yunqing to ask her over. I don't know why, the Zhou family obviously doesn't like her very much, and wants to send her away, but it's as simple as eating and drinking, but he still lets himself be an errand in Lin Huaijin's yard, and he doesn't make it too difficult for himself.
Zhou Yunqing saw that she was resolute, and she no longer insisted, so she only asked Cersei to pick a few well-blooming Yueji plants and cut them out, and selected some for Cersei to take back and insert bottles.
Cersei walked out of Zhou Yunqing's courtyard with a basket of moon seasons full of concern, and stood in the garden for a long time until the sun shadow slanted westward.
In the past, she was only immersed in her own small world, and there were only Yancao, Desheng and Lin Huaijin around her. When she left, she found that there were actually many things to be nostalgic for in this house, and she did not yearn for freedom as she imagined.
She stood stiffly, and then walked back slowly, and suddenly heard Yuan Shijiu's voice floating from nowhere: "Qiuxi is in front, and I have been standing for a long time." ”
