Chapter 14: Su Yingxue leaves the house
It is said that Qin Ziqing said goodbye to Liu Lingjun and the others, and Pegasus returned to the city, but he went straight to Su Mansion.
When the doorman came to report, Su Yingxue was playing chess with her father, and Su's mother was watching the game. Hearing that Qin Ziqing was coming, Su Mu hurriedly asked people to come in.
Qin Ziqing entered the door, first greeted Su's father and Su's mother, and said some auspicious words. Su Mu smiled and asked people to help him up, "Xuan'er, come, this is the red envelope that your uncle and aunt gave you." Put it away. ”
Qin Ziqing did not refuse: "Uncle and Aunt Xie." ”
"Where are you from? But have you eaten and drunk? ”
"My nephew just got together with a few friends and had a few drinks."
"Lan Ruo, go prepare the decanting soup." Su Mu commanded. He also said, "Although it is the New Year, you should still pay attention to drinking, and getting drunk hurts the most." ”
"Yes, my nephew wrote it down." Qin Ziqing is as good as a stream. "It's so lively in the city today, and there is a temple fair, aren't my aunt and Sister Yingxue going to go shopping?"
Su's mother's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "I'm old now, I can't stand the noise at the temple fair, and I always like to hide at home." ”
"My aunt is busy with the affairs of the house all year round, and it takes a lot of effort to take care of the huge Su Mansion so well. It's rare to be relaxed, and it's good to recuperate. Suddenly, he shouted to Su Yingxue: "Sister Yingxue, my aunt is unwell, why don't I go shopping with you on behalf of my aunt?" I promise to protect you from being bumped into you. ”
Su Yingxue didn't know Qin Ziqing's thoughts, she was busy looking at her mother. But seeing the worry in her mother's eyes, her brows were furrowed, and she was very unbearable. Su Yingxue looked into the distance and closed her lips tightly.
Qin Ziqing saw that the atmosphere froze there for a while, and hurriedly haha, "I know that Sister Yingxue is filial, and she is reluctant to leave her aunt alone at home." However, my sister forgot that there is an uncle today, so the two of us can go out, so that my uncle and aunt can talk well, and our juniors in the province are here to make noise about them. Grimacing as she spoke, Su Yingxue couldn't help laughing.
Mother Su looked embarrassed, but Father Su stood up and said to Su Yingxue: "It's okay, if there is nothing to do today, you can go around with Ziqing." ”
Su's mother wanted to say something to stop her, but Su's father patted her lightly on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, with Ziqing here, he will definitely protect his daughter, you don't have to worry." He looked at Su Mu's eyes, shook his head lightly and nodded. Under his appeasement, Su Mu finally relented: "Okay, Xuan'er, you must protect your sister." There are a lot of people today, so don't get separated. ”
After Qin Ziqing repeatedly assured, Su's mother arranged for the family to protect her, and then the two of them went out.
Out of Su Mansion, Qin Ziqing looked happy: "How about it, I said to bring you out, and I did it today." ”
Su Yingxue was also very happy, but said: "Although I can come out, but today is this time, and I won't be able to play for long before I have to go home, and I wasted an opportunity." ”
Qin Ziqing said: "You don't understand this, right?" I'm just looking for a reason, I can bring you out today, as long as you are safe, next time I find a reason, I can still bring you out. This time and twice, won't you be able to come out slowly? It's called boiling a frog in warm water. ”
Su Yingxue was listening carefully, and when she heard his last sentence, she chirped: "Phew, you are the frog." ”
Qin Ziqing salivated and said, "I'm not a frog, I'm a toad, it's okay, right?" ”
Su Yingxue ignored him. Yangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times, and this is only the first day of the new year, and there are still many people doing business on this street.
Su Yingxue knew that she couldn't go out of the city today, so she picked and chose a bunch of things at various stalls selling novelties.
Qin Ziqing was very glad that Mother Su had arranged for them to follow them in a few family homes, otherwise, he would have been able to carry so many things alone, but it would be really ugly to death.
Su Yingxue saw that the things were almost bought, "I'm so thirsty, let's go to the teahouse and drink a glass of water." Then he said to the family, "Go with you, drink a glass of water, and relieve your fatigue by the way." As he spoke, he retreated to the teahouse.
"Oops!"
With an exclamation, Su Yingxue hurriedly turned around to see that she had accidentally touched someone who was about to come out of the teahouse.
"Sister Wan!"
"Sister Cher?"
It turned out that the person who came out was Dong Wan, she was talking to the maid, she didn't pay attention to the door, and collided with Su Yingxue.
"How did you get out of the house? What about aunt? ”
Su Yingxue leaned into Dong Wan's ear and said roughly. Only then did Dong Wan notice that there was still a person standing behind Su Yingxue.
"It turned out to be Gongzi Qin, it was a coincidence today, but we met twice in half a day."
"You know?" Su Yingxue pointed at the two of them.
Dong Wan smiled, "Yes, he was with my brother in the afternoon, and we just met." ”
Qin Ziqing greeted Dong Wan and did not speak.
"Sister Wan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we sit together?"
Dong Wan also hadn't seen Su Yingxue for a long time, so she naturally agreed, and the two walked hand in hand to the window on the second floor and sat down, Qin Ziqing followed behind, sitting opposite the two.
"I don't want to move you a few times a year, how did you say that Aunt Mo let you go out of the house alone?" Dong Wan looked at Su Yingxue, her eyes were bright and full of curiosity.
"Where am I alone? Isn't there still him? ”
Qin Ziqing felt very uncomfortable in his heart, how could he listen that he was disgusted.
"However, it's also a loss that Brother Ziqing spoke, otherwise, I wouldn't have come up with it."
Dong Wan smiled and nodded Su Yingxue's head, "But to say, I was worried that you were bored in the mansion alone, so I handed you invitations every once in a while, and I handed you so many times, but my aunt rejected them, and I only invited you out two or three times." As he spoke, he looked at Qin Ziqing, "It seems that this Qin Gongzi has a high status in his aunt's heart, and he can take you out alone as soon as he gets out of the horse." ”
"Brother Ziqing and I grew up together since childhood, and my mother treated him very well, and today is the New Year, so I was extra kind to let me out."
"Anyway, I'm glad you can come out."
The shopkeeper sent refreshments, and Qin Ziqing poured tea for them, still sitting opposite them.
Su Yingxue took a sip and said, "This tea is not bad." He asked Dong Wan again, "Sister Wan, have you been out in the past few months?" ”
Dong Wan smiled: "Well, this is nature. I went to Rongcheng before the snow, and when it snowed, I was going to the beach, so I simply rented a house by the sea......"
Dong Wan was talking about what she had seen and heard, Qin Ziqing had no intention of listening, but she was unconsciously attracted to her.
Like Su Yingxue, he was deeply attracted by the scene described by Dong Wan, but the two of them had different hearts.
Su Yingxue's heart was surging when she listened directly, and her heart had already drifted to the beach with Dong Wan's words, and she even felt that she was in it.
After Dong Wan finished speaking, Qingyun hurriedly poured the tea and handed it over, the water temperature was just right, Dong Wan drank it, put down the teacup, she had already recovered her look. Seeing that Su Yingxue and Qin Ziqing hadn't come back to their senses, they didn't urge, they drank tea and looked out the window.
It was already a little dark and gray, as if it was going to rain.
On such a day, if it rains, Su Yingxue will not be sick, and for the sake of her plan to be free to leave the house in the future, she decided to wake up the two of them.
"Sister Cher? Qin Gongzi? ”
The two of them came back to their senses, and only then did they notice their gaffes.
It was not the first time Su Yingxue had listened to Dong Wan's story, and said with a smile: "Every time I hear Sister Wan talk about these things, I feel very happy. If I can go to this world like my sister, I will not be in vain. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Dong Wan knew what was on her mind and persuaded: "Sister, don't be sad, since you can come out once today, are you still worried about next time?" It's just that the weather is bad today, like it's going to rain, so it's better for you to go back earlier, and the aunt of the province is worried. It's better to think about it for the future! ”
Qin Ziqing also advised: "That's exactly the case." Don't worry, with me in the future, I will definitely think of bringing you out from time to time. ”
Su Yingxue knew that they were thinking about themselves, so she smiled and said, "I understand what you said, and I keep in mind what you helped me with, thank you, Sister Wan." Thank you too, Brother Ziqing. ”
Dong Wan took Su Yingxue's hand: "Silly sister, I'm just a gesture to send a few more invitations, you don't have to worry about it." It's going to rain, you should go back early, don't let your aunt worry. ”
Su Yingxue responded.
Qin Ziqing also stood up and said goodbye to Dong Wan.
He had understood that this was a strange woman. And the books she gave Su Yingxue may have her own calculations. His ideas are inferior to hers.
Therefore, I couldn't help but glance at Dong Wan twice.
Dong Wan smiled gently, without the slightest annoyance of being peeped at, but smiled: "Su Ri always praises my brother when he talks about Qin Gongzi. If there is a coming day, please also invite Qin Gongzi to appreciate his face and come to the house to talk about it. As he spoke, he looked at Su Yingxue.
Qin Ziqing understood and responded.
Qin Ziqing sent Su Yingxue home, and Su's father and mother were already waiting in the front hall, looking anxious.
Seeing Su Yingxue enter the door, Su Mu was relieved.
Qin Ziqing entered the door and saluted: "Auntie, I sent Sister Xue'er back safely, are you relieved?" ”
Su's mother took her daughter's hand, looked up and down carefully, but said in her mouth: "Don't worry." ”
Su Yingxue was uncomfortable when she was watched: "Mother, it's strange that you are staring at me like this." ”
Su Mu smiled: "Okay, I won't watch it, just come back." Xuan'er, I'm really sorry for you today. I have ordered the kitchen to prepare the food, so let's stay and eat it together today. ”
Father Su also retained: "Yes, just accompany me to drink some more wine." ”
Qin Ziqing didn't want to leave, so he stayed.
