Chapter 20: Narrative in the Pavilion
"The rumor has passed, and naturally it's time to leave, what did my grandmother say when she sent back the news?" Shen Yinqiu slowly walked forward with the traction of Qianguang.
When you can't see the road, every step is carefully tempted.
Qianguang said: "The old lady means to let the young lady go back to Jiangnan first, the eldest master and the second master have already withdrawn their manpower and have not searched again, but they can take you back at any time." ”
"Let my grandmother worry about it, if we really go to Jiangnan, I'm afraid that the Shen Mansion doesn't know how to arrange my uncle's house. Forget it, let's go back to the Shen Mansion and have some fun with them. Shen Yinqiu whispered, still so calm, but it made Qianguang feel that something had changed.
Sure enough, Shen Yinqiu continued: "My grandmother is so good to us, she may be so anxious to know that we are missing, so it is better to go back earlier to make her feel at ease." Look, we're alive. ”
Qianguang understands that the young lady's temperament is indeed not weak and deceitful, but she is used to facing outsiders with that gentle and quiet face. It's just that she was still a little uneasy and said: "Miss, we are helpless, will it be a little risky to go back and fight with the Shen family?" ”
"I didn't fight with them, I just want to live my life quietly, but they bite me and don't let go, we have to be submissive?" Shen Yinqiu's face was condensed, and he habitually used his index finger to roll the green silk on his chest to play, but it was impossible to say words of consolation.
After walking a distance, Qianguang helped her to sit in the orchid pavilion, surrounded by a pool of water, and in autumn and winter, there were still a few birds and birds fishing on the lake, startling round and round ripples.
Shen Yinqiu quietly felt this moment of tranquility, and suddenly heard Qianguang say behind him: "Young Master Yan." ”
Wan Qiyan came looking for her alone, and before he even stepped into the pavilion, he was broken by Qianguang Dao, this Yan Gongzi was not so much a greeting as a reminder to remind Shen Yinqiu.
Qianguang was in awe of his power, and her young lady was recuperating in the other party's mansion, so she didn't dare to slack off on the etiquette she should have. But every time I see him, I will remember that the injuries on her young lady's body are due to him, and her tone is inevitably a little cold, and it is easy not to let people hear it.
Shen Yinqiu sat in the Lan Pavilion and couldn't tell the direction of the pavilion entrance, and only waited for the other party to make a voice before he could notice it. But the other party was silent for a long time, and she rarely took the initiative to talk: "Yan Gongzi is silent, lighter than a cat walking." ”
Wan Qiyan smiled, she was finally willing to talk to him, even if it hurt him. He slowly approached the pavilion. As he approached, Shen Yinqiu really smelled the smell of medicine on his body again, which was not strong and pleasant.
He looked at the maidservant Qianguang behind Shen Yinqiu, his smile faded, and he said in a calm tone: "I have a few words to say with your young lady." ”
The meaning of the words is naturally to let Qianguang retreat, but how can Qianguang rest assured that her young lady can't see it now! This Yan Gongzi's eyes were cold and gloomy, and when he looked at him like this, he seemed to have a mountain on his back, and he couldn't breathe.
Shen Yinqiu was silent for a few breaths, and also said, "I'm a little hungry, Qianguang go and get some pastries." ”
Qianguang would not refute the master's order in front of outsiders, hesitated to take three steps and turned back, and finally walked to the rockery in the distance to hide a peeping, thinking that if the person wanted to be bad to the master, she could also arrive as soon as possible.
The two people in the pavilion seemed to be peaceful again, sitting quietly and silently. Wan Qiyan spread out a wrapped handkerchief, and Shen Yinqiu smelled the fragrance of the pastry. I couldn't help but ask, "Who else is in the pavilion?" ”
Wan Qiyan handed the pastry to her, and he sat down opposite her, although he didn't know why Shen Yinqiu asked like this, he still replied, "It's just you and me." ”
Shen Yinqiu was a little embarrassed by these words, her small ears were faintly flushed, she was obviously above board but it seemed like she was in a tryst, she felt that she was getting more and more stupid, and her unseen eyes crossed a trace of chagrin.
Wondered, "The pastries you brought?" She didn't expect Wan Qiyan to bring such a thing as pastries, thinking that there was still a maid in the pavilion, so she asked.
Wan Qiyan hummed and said, "This is the new dim sum from the Beijing Cake Pavilion, you can try it." ”
What Shen Yinqiu said was that he was hungry to make an excuse for Qianguang to leave, but now that he smelled the sweetness of this pastry, saliva had already begun to flood his mouth. Everyone has their favorite food, and fragrant and sweet pastries are her favorite, but they can't be too sweet, and if they look good, they can make her eat them endlessly.
This secret was only known to a few maidservants who were waiting for her, so she was still very restrained from grabbing her right hand under the table, pretending to be calm: "You came to me not just for pastries." ”
Wan Qiyan looked at the lotus cloud cake on the table, and didn't understand why she didn't eat it, these days he observed that the other party seemed to have a soft spot for pastries, and the kitchen also said that there were few pastries left in her room.
Pulling out of his own contemplation, Wan Qiyan said: "This is called Heyun cake, it will not be very sweet, a little crispy and not greasy, you taste it, you should like it, I want to eat two after eating one." ”
Shen Yinqiu was silent for a moment and said faintly: "Are you here to sell this pastry?" ”
Wan Qianyan: "......" It is inconvenient for him to show up now, so he can only order his subordinates to buy it. After asking a few words, his subordinates told him this. Except for the three words you taste, the rest is copied from the original words.
Shen Yinqiu smiled coldly, raised his hand as if groping for the position of the pastry, Wan Yanyan said, "You stretch out your hand." ”
Originally, he shouldn't have listened to him, but Shen Yinqiu subconsciously felt that the other party would not do such a thing, so he did so, palms facing up.
Wan Qiyan stared at it for a few seconds before putting the pastry into her hands, and when she saw her playing the piano before, she knew that these hands were very beautiful, slender, straight, and the joints were not prominent, and they were not too thin, and everything was just right.
Shen Yinqiu felt that the pastry in his hand was still a little warm, and he stretched out his other hand and gently pinched the pastry and took a bite, the taste was really unique and delicious. So she unceremoniously swallowed the whole piece of pastry into her stomach. Because of satisfying the appetite, his expression unconsciously softened, and his smiling eyes were a little childish.
It was the first time Wan Qiyan saw her look like this, even if she had just woken up from a coma and was a little confused, she was still nervous and vigilant.
Wan Qiyan was also very happy, and his tone was a little brisk, "Is it delicious?" ”
Shen Yinqiu stopped his hand and wanted to get a piece, turned to cover his mouth and coughed, "Shang ...... Ok, you didn't taste it? ”
Wan Qiyan stretched out his hand and handed over another piece, taking advantage of her invisibility to pick up a piece and take a bite, frowning, this kind of thing is really not his food. But he replied anyway: "I tasted it, it's not bad." ”
Qianguang twisted his handkerchief and stared at Wan Qiyan viciously. Where is the vigilance that the young lady has been all the way through? Eating something from a stranger! This Yan Gongzi has a plot against her young lady, and uses the young lady's favorite pastry as a breakthrough, seeing that he himself tasted a mouthful of frowning, is there something wrong with this pastry? But I'm willing to eat it...... If you poison it, it seems unlikely, so continue to wait and see.
Shen Yinqiu praised the pastry a few words, and couldn't stop eating. After three or five pieces, try to tell yourself that the other party is definitely not here for pastries! Be restrained! After you go back to Shen Mansion, you can buy it yourself, and you can eat as much as you want when the time comes!
Only then did he stop, took a deep breath and asked, "I have also eaten the pastry, and it is time for Yan Gongzi to get to the point." ”
Wan Qiyan didn't delay any longer, and asked directly: "Are you going to leave here and go back to the Shen family or go down to Jiangnan?" ”
"Go back to Shen's house." Shen Yinqiu was a little unhappy, her identity was clear to the other party, but she didn't know anything about the other party. A veritable blindness.
Wan Qiyan snorted and didn't follow.
Poor Qianguang hiding in the rockery, watching the two of them sit without speaking, she was in a hurry if the parties were not in a hurry. I wondered if I should go to the kitchen now and get a plate of pastries, and then take the young lady away. After a few more seconds, she trotted away to do the business.
At the edge of the Lanting, the water was sparkling, and the birds and birds were plunged into the lake, and Wan Qiyan suddenly said: "I'm about to leave here, you...... Take care later. I'll let Wanbai stay by your side until his eyes heal. ”
Shen Yinqiu hadn't forgotten that the other party's body was worse than her, and shook her head and said, "No need, Doctor Bai said that he specializes in treating you, otherwise he won't go down the mountain, your body is ......" After a pause, she still said directly: "Worse than me." ”
Wan Qiyan had a heart attack, but he couldn't help laughing, "This time I left to cure the stubborn disease, Wan Bai can't be cured, you are affected by these injuries, let him make up for me, and his eyes must be cured." ”
What does it mean that Wanbai cannot be cured?
Shen Yinqiu was a pity that she couldn't see the other party's current expression, she didn't want to beat around the bush, so she didn't shy away from saying, "Is your illness hopeless?" ”
"If you are still breathing, there is still a chance to live and die."
Shen Yinqiu lowered his head and sighed, wanting to comfort but not knowing what to say, he didn't need to think about it to know that the other party was not the one who needed comfort.
Qianguang finally came with the pastry, and after saying goodbye, Miss Yan Gongzi put the pastry in the center of the table, Wan Qiyan got up and said, "You leave tomorrow, I have prepared the carriage." It's windy, your injuries aren't healed yet, it's not good to stay outside for a long time, go back. ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, Shen Yinqiu also got up, and suddenly said, "Young Master Yan, take care." ”
Wan Qiyan smiled silently, but he didn't look back, he walked straight out of the Lan Pavilion, his pace was unsteady, and after a while, he stopped, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and a slight coughing sound came out, and then saw him leave quickly.
Qianguang shook his head, seeing that his young lady was not injured, and proposed, "Miss, let's go back." ”
Shen Yinqiu responded, left along the path that Wan Qian Yan had just walked, and walked Qianguang sighed.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yinqiu stopped and asked.
Qianguang stared at the blood stains on the ground and said softly: "This position is where Fang Cai Yan Gongzi paused, there is blood on the ground, during this time, he ...... The body seems to be getting worse and worse. ”
Shen Yinqiu pursed his lips, didn't speak, just nodded, and walked over the bloodstain.
Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky.
"Qianguang, when we have enough money, let's go to the cake shop in the capital to buy snacks and eat them until I can't eat them."
Qianguang shook his head and refused: "No, miss, dim sum should be in moderation and can't be eaten as a meal." ”
