Chapter 239: Daughter's Thoughts
The first buds of spring slowly pulled out, the ice and snow of Kyoto were dotted with pieces of vitality that wanted to bloom, the crisp birdsong sounded outside the window, the warm sunlight spilled into this clean and tidy room, and the man on the couch sat up with a long sigh of relief.
The slender left leg fell to the ground gently, Xia Guxin supported his body with both hands, and his expression was indescribably sacred.
With his years of stinging, it dissipated like a cloud in a dream at this moment, and this elegant and handsome face showed a smile comparable to a spring breeze.
The cyan figure slowly shuttled through the garden of the General's Mansion, causing a series of surprised eyes.
But he didn't want to turn the corner, a sweet breath came to his nose, and the petite man bumped into him without warning.
"Miss Liu?!" Xia Guxin hurriedly reached out to help apologetically, Liu Qin'er stabilized her figure and looked up, her little face immediately turned red, "Xia, Young Master Xia?"
Xia Guxin's gaze fell on the moist corners of her eyes, as well as the red palm prints on her fair little face that had not completely faded, he couldn't help frowning, and then took a step back politely, and gently apologized, "I'm sorry, it's Gu Xin's recklessness, Miss Liu is hurt?"
"No, it's not, it's Qin'er's fault......" Liu Qin'er lowered her head in a panic, and her two little hands felt like there was nowhere to put them.
Xia Guxin pretended not to see the embarrassment on her face, "Miss Liu is here to look for my third sister? ”
Liu Qin'er was slightly stunned, and before she could react, the man in front of her had already taken a step, seeing that she hadn't followed, he turned around after a few steps, and his tolerant smile was as fresh as the shining morning dew, which instantly soothed the sad grievances in her heart.
She timidly lifted the hem of her skirt and followed, as if she had thought of something, "Young Master Xia, your legs ......"
As soon as the words came out, Liu Qin'er realized that she had lost her words, but she clearly noticed that Xia Guxin's actions were no different from ordinary people, obviously when she saw him before......
I saw that the man next to him slowly stopped, he looked down at his left leg, and stroked it very preciously, Liu Qin'er looked at this warm side face, and only felt that he was as good-looking as the fairy in the painting.
"It's all thanks to the third sister. Xia Guxin didn't elaborate, but Liu Qin'er could clearly feel it, but she was afraid that it would be another very long and warm story.
However, when the two came to the courtyard of Bihe, Ruhua greeted him but bowed apologetically, "The young lady is in the courtyard of the old lady, discussing the guest list for the ceremony in three days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while." Miss Liu might as well sit in the courtyard and drink tea to warm up. ”
Liu Qin'er's eyes couldn't hide her disappointment, she smiled helplessly and apologetically, "No, there's no need, it was Qin'er's fault that I didn't inform Miss Xia San in advance, since that's the case...... Qin and Qin'er still go back to their homes and come back to visit another day. ”
Without waiting for the picture to stay, the woman who seemed to have thousands of things on her mind slowly turned around and left, Xia Guxin looked at Liu Qin'er's lonely and desolate back, and followed after her eyes moved slightly.
Liu Qin'er walked very slowly, she only felt that every step was extremely heavy, and she went back to the house? No, she ran out of the house in a fit of anger after arguing with her second sister, and then found out that she didn't even have a friend to talk to, and she came to Xia Mansion unconsciously.
It's a good thing that I didn't see the face of the third lady, if she knew that she was here to vomit bitterness, maybe she would think that she was a troublesome and incompetent person.
It's just that where should I go now?
"Miss Liu, please stay!" An anxious voice came from behind her, and Liu Qin'er immediately stopped and turned back in surprise.
I saw that under the sun, the figure like a green bamboo trotted with a worried look, his face was full of soft smiles, and a fresh herbal fragrance came with the breeze.
Xia Guxin quickly stood still in front of the stunned Liu Qin'er, and then took out a scroll of paintings with some hesitation.
"Miss Liu's gift a while ago, so the new is still recuperating, so I couldn't go to the appointment, this painting ...... If Miss Liu doesn't dislike it, and hopes to accept it, it will be a belated gift?"
His voice was like a refreshing spring in the mountains, which instantly flowed into her bitter heart, Liu Qin'er finally came back to her senses, stretched out her hand to take over the scroll of Xia Guxin, and only felt as if she was in a dream.
She subconsciously wanted to pull the knot on it, but she didn't want Xia Guxin to stop her with a slightly nervous mouth, "It's better to dismantle it after returning home, this kind of clumsy work is really not elegant." ”
The man in front of him seemed to be a little embarrassed, this gift was prepared by him temporarily, Miss Liu finally came to the house, but she couldn't see her third sister, so it was not good to let the guests return empty-handed.
"How, how could it be, Young Master Xia is talented, this painting must be a masterpiece of the world!" Liu Qin'er's eyes were extremely bright, she took a step forward happily, raised her head and stared straight at him.
Xia Guxin was slightly stunned, such a compliment, he thought he couldn't afford it.
I saw that he was silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth softly, "Miss Liu has encountered something difficult, if the old new can help, but it doesn't matter." ”
Hearing this, the smile on Liu Qin'er's face couldn't help but stiffen, she looked at Xia Guxin's pair of extremely gentle eyes, and the sadness that she had tried so hard to hide was surging like a flood, and she couldn't suppress it anymore.
Her eyes were red again, and in order to hide her gaffe, she quickly lowered her head, "Qin'er, nothing......"
The voice grew quieter and quieter, and even she didn't notice that her hand holding the scroll trembled slightly.
"Really?" The girl in front of her was like a trembling young bird, which made Xia Guxin feel a little pity.
This real concern made Liu Qin'er's mind can't help but think of the past, she seems to have never felt such love from her relatives, her father and mother have only cared about her academic popularity since she was a child, and she has never asked her if she is happy or unhappy.
In their eyes, she is just a soulless puppet, as long as she does everything according to their wishes, it is the meaning of her life.
Let's go.
Douda's tears finally fell uncontrollably, and a crisp and loud cry suddenly erupted from this thin little body.
Xia Guxin was taken aback, he didn't expect that his words would make Liu Qin'er so sad, and the man immediately became a little scrambling.
"How, how is this good?"
He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it over, looking around in a panic, fortunately, most of the people in the mansion were cleaning their respective courtyards at this time, otherwise I don't know what kind of misunderstanding it would cause.
Xia Guxin finally calmed down, he leaned down with a pleading tone, "It just so happens that today, Soxin plans to go out of the house to choose a birthday gift for the third sister, if Miss Liu doesn't dislike it, can she go with Guxin?"
Speaking of this, Liu Qin'er really stopped crying gradually, she raised her eyes chokedly, Xia Guxin pursed her lips, and added, "It's also a daughter's family, presumably Miss Liu will be able to give Gu Xin a good advice, if it's inconvenient......"
"Okay, then let's be together!" but didn't want to, the girl in front of her immediately wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, and her cheeks were flushed, which was indescribably cute.
The breeze was blowing, and a different atmosphere was permeating the two, but they didn't know that this scene had already fallen into a pair of deep eyes in the dark......
