Chapter 37: My name is Jin Chan
Xiang Lincheng's mansion is a little remote, some distance from the market. He didn't ride a horse this time, and he couldn't find a carriage at this time, so Guan Jiyu simply led his horse and followed him all the way slowly, and went around for a while before he came to the door.
Guan Jiyu looked up and was surprised to find that there was no plaque on the door of his mansion like other residences.
Whether it's the location or the nameless house, it's very much like his style, low-key and restrained.
Xiang Lincheng himself said that he did not live here permanently, and spent most of his time in the Beixin General's Mansion, and only when the war eased and he was able to rest, he would come to live for a while.
Before entering the main gate, only two servants were waiting, and a man who was about fifteen or sixteen years old saw them returning, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the horse rope from Guan Jiyu's hand, and silently led the horse elsewhere.
And a girl named "Yuezhi" was called by Xiang Lincheng, so she greeted her happily and said very smartly: "Childe, Miss Guan's room has been arranged." ”
Yuezhi looked very young, and spoke in a lively tone, but not noisy.
The night is deep and the moon is hazy, and the house is extremely clean, which is rare for people to relax.
Xiang Lincheng went to the front yard to deal with some official business first, while Guan Jiyu was led by Yuezhi all the way to the depths of the mansion, and everywhere he went, there was silence.
"It's so quiet." Guan Jiyu muttered quietly, but was still heard by Yuezhi, who was walking in front, so he respectfully told her: "The second son likes to be quiet, but he doesn't like luxury, plus the back kitchen, only five or six people are left to serve." ”
Walking to the backyard, Yuezhi opened the door of the wing room, and Guan Jiyu only stepped into the door and found that there was everything in the house.
The capital is colder than Nanqin.
The fire in the charcoal basin was burning brightly, and the house was very warm. The hot water for bathing is ready, and the change of clothes is neatly stacked aside.
The whole day was on the road, and at this moment, Guan Jiyu also felt tired, it was time to wash and rest, so he unceremoniously enjoyed the prepared things.
The hot water touched the skin and warmed it, Guan Jiyu was greedy for this warm water, and he dozed off, and fell asleep unconsciously while soaking.
The heat was steaming, and the knock on the door outside the house woke her up in a daze, Guan Jiyu hurriedly got up, wiped the water droplets on her body indiscriminately, picked up the clothes prepared by the table and hurriedly put them on.
When he opened the door, Xiang Lincheng outside the house had an ordinary face, but after seeing her lotus lotus-colored clothes, his eyebrows inadvertently raised.
The black hair hung down on his shoulders, dripping with water.
Guan Jiyu followed his gaze and looked at himself, and couldn't help but blush.
"Second son."
Xiang Lincheng smiled and said softly: "I'm sorry, there are some things at hand that have just been dealt with." ”
She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, if you have something important, you should be busy first." ”
"Thinking that the restaurants outside are closed, and you haven't eaten some food for almost the whole day, I asked the back kitchen to get you some food."
As he spoke, Yuezhi walked over with a food plate.
"Go in, your hair is still wet, be careful of catching a cold."
Xiang Lincheng followed in, and watched Yuezhi open the soup cup, and the sweet taste instantly filled the entire room.
He said seriously: "Thinking that all of you people in the Nanqin area like to eat sweets, it just so happens that today is the Lantern Festival, you must like this rice wine glutinous rice ball." ”
Guan Jiyu took a shallow bite from the bowl, and the thick sesame fragrance came to his nose, accompanied by the osmanthus nectar garnished on the rice wine, which was sweet but not greasy.
"It's delicious." Guan Jiyu was already hungry, and when he saw his favorite dessert at this moment, he couldn't help but eat it.
It's very cute.
Yuezhi should have put down the rice balls and left, but at this time, he wanted to stop talking, and stood there and refused to leave.
The young girl always has everything written on her face, and Yuezhi has a strange look on her face, and she keeps looking at Xiang Lincheng as if she wants to say something.
Xiang Lincheng was stared at closely, so he turned his head and asked Yuezhi: "What's the matter?" ”
"Childe......" Yuezhi was hesitant for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
Guan Jiyu, who was immersed in the food, also saw that Yuezhi's expression was abnormal, and seeing that she was so absent, it was not easy to continue eating, so he put down the spoon and looked at Yuezhi.
"Say anything."
Seeing that Xiang Lincheng's expression was a little more solemn, Yuezhi hesitated, and had no choice but to say, "Childe, someone is looking for you outside." ”
"Who can come to me at such a late hour?" Xiang Lincheng said as he stretched out his hand and put a few rice balls in the bowl in front of Guan Jiyu.
Yuezhi refused to say who it was directly, but said awkwardly: "You better go out and have a look." ”
Xiang Lincheng glanced at Yuezhi helplessly, but he didn't mean to blame.
Yuezhi is a smart child, if she wasn't a special person, she wouldn't have done such an eyeless thing at this time.
He said softly to Guan Jiyu: "You eat and rest early." ”
Guan Jiyu nodded, and continued to eat the glutinous rice balls in the bowl, Yuezhi saw Xiang Lincheng go out, and hurriedly followed.
The door was covered, and the footsteps outside faded away.
Guan Jiyu's ear power is excellent, even if Yuezhi waited until he went out and closed the door before he was relieved to talk to Xiang Lincheng about the words that had just come to his mouth, he was still caught by Guan Jiyu A few words.
She heard Yuezhi mention three words in an anxious tone: Golden Girl.
Golden Girl......
Guan Jiyu was stunned, and suddenly felt that the sweet wine dumplings in the bowl tasted like they had no taste.
She put down the spoon, rinsed silently, and fell asleep.
I didn't sleep well this night, maybe because I just went to a new place, I tossed and turned all night, and I couldn't sleep well.
It snowed at night, and there was the sound of snow clearing outside early in the morning, and Guan Jiyu got up.
When I opened the door, the chill hit, and I just saw Xiang Lincheng passing by.
He also saw her, smiled not far away, and asked her, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”
Guan Jiyu nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Xiang Lincheng pointed to the study on the side and said, "Then come over and have a cup of tea together." ”
He didn't seem to have any intention of mentioning last night's events.
Guan Jiyu was reluctant to ask him directly what happened last night, which made Yuezhi panic and completely ignore that she was the first guest to come to the door, and called Xiang Lincheng away like that.
She was extremely curious, but she always felt that it was unreasonable to say it rashly.
She, Guan Jiyu, is not someone from Xiang Lincheng, is she?
What is the relationship between the two of them now, Guan Jiyu himself can't say clearly.
She had no choice but to follow him to the study in silence.
Xiang Lincheng's study is more like a tea room, there are not many books on the shelves inside, but there are a lot of tea cans.
The tea on the stove has been boiling for a long time, and the house is full of the smell of tea.
Xiang Lincheng picked up the teacup and poured the tea, walked over and handed it to her, and said, "Try it." ”
Guan Jiyu stretched out his hand and prepared to take the teacup in his hand.
Xiang Lincheng didn't mean to let go, his eyes were soft, and he whispered: "The cup is hot, you blow it and drink it." ”
"Huh?" Guan Jiyu didn't understand what he meant.
He smiled, lowered his head and blew lightly on the tea in the cup, then handed the cup to her, and said, "Okay, take a sip." ”
This time he held the cup directly to her lips.
What this means is self-explanatory.
Guan Jiyu's face burned crimson, stretched his neck forward, and took a small sip of his lips next to the cup.
She couldn't taste the taste of the tea in the cup, but she felt that the hot tea flowed down her throat, through her chest, and into her heart.
The tip of the heart is also poured warmly.
"There are still some things that need to be discussed between the DPRK and China about the Beixin camp." He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tea from her mouth. "I'm going to go out, I'm really embarrassed to say this to you, it's rare for you to come here, but I ......"
Guan Jiyu didn't care if he went out, just wiped the corners of his mouth like this, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Xiang Lincheng actually wiped her mouth in person......
His movements are extremely natural, and the movements of his hands are also very gentle, no matter how much he doesn't understand the amorous feelings, he will be easily provoked by his actions.
"It's okay!" Guan Jiyu hurriedly responded: "I said that if you have something important, just go and get busy, I can do it alone!" ”
Xiang Lincheng's eyes were full of doting, and he took a deep look at her before leaving with confidence.
Seeing him walk away, Guan Jiyu hurriedly took off the heavy coat on his body.
It's too hot.
The charcoal fire in this house is so hot, it's too hot!
Xiang Lincheng walked like this, and he didn't come back in the evening.
Guan Jiyu was really bored in the house, so he went out of the door and walked around the backyard casually.
There is a back garden in the backyard of Xiang Lincheng's mansion, but most of the plants have not bloomed in winter, and they are shrunk on the soil, and they can't see what kind of variety they are.
She crouched beside the garden and looked distracted, not noticing the person behind her who was slowly approaching.
The footsteps didn't stop until they were close to her.
Guan Jiyu turned his head after noticing it, only to see a very young girl standing not far behind him, wearing very ordinary goose yellow clothes, not a prominent person, but just looking at her outfit, it was difficult for Guan Jiyu to guess who it was.
There really wasn't a valuable decoration on the woman's body, even ordinary girls would more or less decorate their hair with ornaments. Guan Jiyu almost thought that she was a subordinate serving in Xiang Lincheng's mansion.
The woman's eyes were fixed on her, and she did not want to move any longer.
Guan Jiyu was stared at uncomfortably, so he slowly got up and asked, "Are you ......?" ”
The woman didn't answer her question, but just took a closer look at her features.
"It's a friend of Lincheng, right?" Her voice was very delicate, and Guan Jiyu, who was also a woman, couldn't help but tremble when she heard it.
Although she was asking Guan Jiyu, the woman's thin eyebrows frowned slightly, more like an affirmation of lost soul.
Guan Jiyu was confused, so he had to say: "He went out, I can tell you if you have something." ”
"No need." The woman in yellow wiped away the sense of loss on her face, and seemed to be a little unhappy by Guan Jiyu's words.
She said angrily: "You tell me on your behalf? No one can tell me about Lincheng yet, and we all tell each other directly. ”
"Oh." Guan Jiyu nodded, squatted down again and continued to look at the frozen wilting plants in the garden in front of him, and said lightly: "Then I can't help you, if you want to tell him directly, just wait here for him to come back." ”
Guan Jiyu has always been not very enthusiastic about people, and the woman was really surprised by her coldness, and after thinking about it, she still answered the question she just asked.
"I came here last night, didn't Lincheng tell you? My name is Jin Chan, and I'm here to bring him something. ”
