Chapter 99: Doubting Life
Huo Xiaoting really doesn't know if he can be more unlucky?
But he has never believed these gossips among the little ladies.
When I entered the main room to ask for peace, I saw a few things on the desk next to the old lady, and Zhou was studying the return gift with her.
Huo Xiaoting's gaze skimmed over the basket containing zongzi and the brocade box containing ginseng, and landed on the fan sleeve embroidered with cyan bamboo leaves.
Zhou followed his gaze and said with a smile: "This is the fan cover embroidered by the nine girls of the Li family, and the folding fan inside is also painted by her, which is a Dragon Boat Festival gift for our little grandfather." ”
She also embroiders and paints fans?
Huo Xiaoting was a little surprised.
What's even more surprising is that she will do these things and give them to him in a proper manner?
If she doesn't get angry with him, he's going to burn high incense, and she really doesn't expect this.
Zhou didn't know what he wanted, and thought he was disgusted, so he picked up the folding fan and handed it to him, "Giving fans is a tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival, and this is also the heart of the nine girls. ”
Huo Xiaoting glanced up at Zhou.
Zhou was a little sneering, "The second aunt saw that this was a gift from the Ming Road, but she was a little curious about what our future young lady had painted, and how was the painting?" ”
Who doesn't know what Li Jiu's reputation is outside, is she curious?
Huo Xiaoting just wanted to refuse, but saw that the old lady had already nodded in agreement, "Grandmother also wants to see it." ”
Since her sixtieth birthday, her grandmother's spirit has become more and more weak, and her personality is becoming more and more like a child, Huo Xiaoting can't bear to refuse her request.
Be made fun of if you are teased, anyway, he is not alone in his disgrace.
Huo Xiaoting took the folding fan and didn't say anything anymore, but resigned himself to removing the fan cover and taking out the folding fan inside.
The wind on the fan pendant is delicate but not complicated, the fan bone is sandalwood, exuding a faint woody fragrance, you can see that it still takes some thought.
Huo Xiaoting slowly unfolded the fan, and his favorite green bamboo was painted on the gold surface of the good material.
It's just that the bamboo forest above, how is it a little like the door of the Ganlu Hall where he lives?
In Huo Xiaoting's mind, he unconsciously crossed the picture of him throwing stones by the bamboo forest that day, which was the most thing he had ever done, and it also changed his fate.
This scourge must have deliberately provoked him to think like this, is she giving a fan or finding fault?
"These nine girls also have a heart!" Zhou couldn't find anything wrong either.
The old lady also stared at the door for a long time, and said meaningfully: "There are always some advantages." He pointed again, "There is still a word on the back." ”
Huo Xiaoting turned over the fan and read the small words on the back to his grandmother: "The Dragon Boat Festival is in the middle of summer, and the Qing people are growing up." ”
The old lady nodded frequently after hearing this, but Huo Xiaoting was attracted by these two lines of small characters.
Why did he look at the familiar word?
After putting away the folding fan and saying goodbye to the old lady and Zhou, he returned to Ganlu Hall.
Holding the folding fan along the way, I always felt a little hot.
Walking to the Ganlu Hall, he went directly back to the study, took out the lotus lamp he had picked up in the moat, took out the note that had been stuffed in it, and unfolded it, comparing it with the handwriting on the fan.
One sentence is: The Dragon Boat Festival is in mid-summer, and the Qing Dynasty is growing again.
The other sentence is: The same wish before the flowers outside the willow, Zhu Yan is far away at an age.
There is only one long word of the same word that can be compared, and it looks like the same stroke, although other fonts can't be compared like this, and it's also very similar to the pen.
How is this possible? Huo Xiaoting is about to doubt life!
No! This can't be the same person's font, this lotus lamp can't be Li Jiu's, and the note in it can't be written by her.
Huo Xiaoting would rather think so.
But it made him suspect that life was still to come, and the folding fan, which originally had only one line of small characters, gradually showed four big characters.
At first, it was just a faint outline, but as time went on, it became clearer and clearer.
Huo Xiaoting's face became darker and darker, his eyebrows seemed to be dyed with a layer of frost, and he looked at the four big characters on it: stinky and shameless!
Huo Xiaoting clenched his fists so that his knuckles clicked, he must ask the scourge, where is he shameless?
…………
Under Wei Yiran's close attention, Li Qia took the jade pendant to the garden of the Li Mansion to go shopping.
There are three large and small gardens in the Li Mansion, in addition to the main garden that leads the living water into the garden, there is also a plum garden and a small garden with flowers and greenhouses. It was this small garden that Li Cha went to.
Now that it is spring and summer, the flowers in the main garden have already bloomed, and naturally no one likes to come to this small garden, so it is quite clean.
Li Qia walked in front with the jade pendant, turned the moon cave gate and went straight to the octagonal pavilion in the garden, and sure enough, he didn't take a few steps before he heard the melodious sound of the guqin.
The eighth girl, Li Hua, likes to play the piano in this pavilion the most, which is also one of the purposes for her to come here, in order to get rid of Wei Yiran's human flesh tracking.
Sure enough, before he could see the octagonal pavilion not far away, Wei Yiran behind him paused, turned around and walked back.
Li Hua's words in the teahouse that day are still in his ears, although he loves her, he has no intention of entanglement, he just wants to wish her a smooth success as the second princess.
Li Qia grimaced at Wei Yiran's back, and then took the jade pendant in a different direction and walked to the flower shed.
This shed is a warm shed, there is a special mother-in-law to take care of, in the winter when a hundred flowers bloom, now the flowers have been moved to the main garden, there is not even a figure here.
Li Cha walked in with the jade pendant.
"Nine girls, this, what are we here to enjoy at this time?" The jade pendant scratched his head.
"Appreciate ants!" Li Cha stretched out his foot and kicked the loose soil, and several ants crawled out of it.
Jade pendant: "......" Nine girls' preferences are really not ordinary little ladies, her girls may be more ordinary, in short, they are not ordinary.
The jade pendant followed the kicking and planing of the nine girls of her own family, and really saw several kinds of ants in this empty greenhouse.
Jade pendants don't know what the difference is between them, only that they come in black, red, and white.
But looking at the satisfied expression of her own girl, she should appreciate the ant she likes.
As long as her own girl is satisfied, she will also be satisfied, and this little ant is also quite fun, regardless of whether this taste for ants is strange or not.
The jade pendant thought like this very well-behaved, but saw the girl walking in front of her own snap her fingers, "Found it." ”
The jade pendant looked over with the eyes of the nine girls of her family, and saw white ants under the wooden flower shelf, which were not small.
It turns out that my nine girls like big white ants!
"Let's go back first." The second purpose of her coming here has been accomplished.
Just when Jade Pendant thought that the ninth girl of her family was going to appreciate it for a while, she saw that the primrose-colored skirt was raised, and the person had already walked out of the greenhouse......
