Chapter 319: Merlin
In less than a cup of tea, Huo Jiang saw Gao Gao Hui in the Qin Pavilion.
Like last time, Gao Hui still wore a snow-white outfit, and took off his silver fox cloak, revealing the frost-colored arrow sleeves inlaid with gold thread inside.
Before meeting Gao Gaohui, Huo Jiang didn't expect that in addition to the fictional characters in the romance script, there would really be people who also wore white clothes.
But this white dress is worn on Gao Hui's body, but it is not frivolous at all, with the simple white hosta on his head, and the horse whip inlaid with gold and jade in his hand, it seems that his face is like a crown of jade, rich and handsome, as if he was born to dress up like this.
Seeing Huo Jiang, Gao Hui's brows moved slightly, so he nodded politely at him, and then stopped looking at him.
Gao Gao Hui exchanged a few words with Mr. Xie, asked about Mr. Xie's body, and said that Huo Jiang knew that he had sent ginseng to Mrs. Xie.
Gao Gao Hui called Mrs. Xie his cousin, Huo Jiang thought to himself, one table is three thousand miles, the Gao family and the Xie family can only be regarded as distant relatives of Wufu, it is rare that the two families are so close, which is different from the people in Guannei.
Gao Gaohui met with Mr. Xie, and then went out of the Qin Pavilion to see Mrs. Xie.
Seeing him leave, Huo Jiang asked, "Is Mrs. Xie okay?" ”
From Gao Hui's conversation, he could hear that Mrs. Xie was obviously not in good health, and the Gao family was about to send medicinal herbs every once in a while.
Mr. Xie sighed and said, "Clumsy wattles are the root of the disease that fell when they were young, and they will be committed in winter. ”
Although Mr. Xie did not explicitly say what Mrs. Xie's illness was, it seemed from his words that it should be a cold intolerance, and the spring and summer outside the customs were short, and the winter was long and cold, which was obviously not suitable for recuperation.
Huo Jiang said: "If it is in the Guannei, it will be better." ”
Mr. Xie smiled bitterly: "I heard that the further south, the shorter the winter, the land of Fujian and Guangdong is like spring all year round, but unfortunately I am tired by the clumsy Jing, there is no such blessing, I can only suffer in this bitter cold place." ”
Huo Jiang raised his head and suddenly found that there were tears faintly in Mr. Xie's eyes, so he quickly looked away and pretended not to see it.
Could it be that the Xie family lives outside the Guan, not because Mr. Xie has a leg disease, is there still a secret?
Just thinking about it like this, Huo Jiang didn't let himself continue to think about it. This is someone's private matter, and he is just a passerby, and it is not a gentleman's job to inquire about the secrets of other people's homes.
Maybe it was because of his words, or maybe it was for other reasons, Mr. Xie looked less energetic today, and his face was more sick, and he said to Huo Jiang apologetically: "I'm a little tired, you can go back and rest, if you feel bored, you can take a few books to read." ”
Huo Jiang was not very interested in Mr. Xie's collection of books here, although most of them were ancient books, but he was not interested in Huo Jiang, but he still took a travelogue back.
It may be that he has behaved well these days, and the Xie family has relaxed a lot towards him, and even Fu Bo no longer follows him, and he can easily watch the scenery in Zhuangzi on the way back to his residence.
It was still morning, and he had nothing to do when he went back, so he wanted to go a little farther to the Merlin where he had passed last time.
It snowed again last night, and the beautiful scenery of plum blossoms and snow can be seen in Kannai, but it is far less than here.
And he still has a small wish in his heart, if only he could meet Xie Chan.
He was worried that Xie Chan would blame him for what happened last time.
Although he had only met Xie Chan three times, he didn't know why, as if he had known her for a long time, maybe this was the previous life mentioned in the book?
He didn't want Xie Chan to have the slightest displeasure with him, even if he couldn't see each other again after leaving here, he also wanted to leave Xie Chan a good impression.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt very melancholy. After being in contact with Mr. Xie for a long time, he now feels that if he asks Mr. Xie to resign, Mr. Xie may not harm him and will let him leave easily. Yes, if he leaves, will he never see Xie Chan again?
Thinking like this, before he knew it, he walked into Merlin. The Xie family's plum forest should be some years old, most of the plum trees in it look decades old, even younger than the small yard where he lives temporarily, the old plum trees are in different shapes, and one of them has even been burned off half of it, but it is still densely populated, and I want to come to the Xie family to have a knowledgeable gardener to take care of it.
Thinking of the gardener, Huo Jiang thought of those mute slaves, he suddenly felt disgusted, and even his interest in the flowers and trees in front of him was a little less.
"Cousin, are you looking for me? A slightly familiar voice sounded, Huo Jiang was stunned, is it Xie Honglin?
He instinctively hid his body behind two closely connected old plums, and looked through the gap to see two figures walking over in flowers.
"Do I have to have something to do to find you?" It was Gao Gao Hui who spoke.
Huo Jiang frowned, although these two people are cousins, they are not biological after all, and young men and women don't know how to avoid suspicion, and lonely men and widows actually came here for a private meeting.
He regretted coming to this Merlin a little, but now that he couldn't go out, if they found him hiding here, would he be killed?
He has seen Gao Hui's methods, and people who want to use living people as arrows and rakes at every turn, even if they look like dogs, can hardly hide the essence of killing people without blinking.
Xie Honglin's voice sounded again: "Who said it, it's too late for me to be happy, you don't know, that day I just said that I wanted to learn to make socks, my mother came to be interested, and taught me to cut and teach me to sew, alas, and then I have to dislike me for being stupid, I have been detained by her old man in the house to make socks for the past two days, if you don't come, I can't go out for a walk." Cousin, look, do I look like a sock now? ”
"Hahaha", Gao Hui looked up to the sky and laughed, and while laughing, he reached out and rubbed Xie Honglin's hair, and suddenly sighed again, and asked, "What about the red coral hairpin you always wear these days?" ”
"Ahh
"You, always have to speak for those subordinates, little fool, obviously you are good to others, but you are always fierce to others, you also learn from Ah Chan, she is much more scheming than you." Although Gao Hui seemed to be counting, there was doting in his voice, as if this was not his cousin, but his own sister.
Xie Honglin snorted, a little unconvinced: "No, when did I treat people badly?" No, no. ”
