Chapter 10 Frosting gourd

The owner of the Fengdu rice shop was very fast, and in just three days, he delivered 20 stone of grain to the Los Angeles wharf. It was noticeable that Jinyunlan signed a one-year contract with the grain merchant to deliver it in batches at the rate of 20 stone per month.

She has been taking leave from Jinyun College for the past few days, pretending that she is infected with wind and cold, and is recuperating at home. Fortunately, her parents at home did not ask her about her whereabouts for the three days since she disappeared, perhaps they have long been surprised. Only when she came back alone, she didn't poke out any baskets and everything was fine.

Her mother and little sister often came from Jialan Hospital to visit her condition, and she had to smile in order to cover up the wound on her waist.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, her mother was very worried about her situation, and was anxious to ask a doctor to take her pulse. Jin Yunlan had to excuse herself and say that she had cultivated improperly, which caused her body to be weak. The mother was speechless, just working in the small kitchen, trying to get her more delicious and healthy food.

When Cheng Cheng came to report the time, it happened that the two were visiting in Jinyun Lan's house. The little sister Xiuxiu had to hold a spoon to feed her porridge, and she also patiently accompanied her sister to take care of people. Seeing that the porridge bowl was at the bottom, she said tactfully: "Mother, I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while." ”

The lady understood and immediately took Xiuxiu away. When she went out, she met the consummation in a hurry, and she scolded worriedly: "Take good care of the eldest lady." Su Rili should be persuaded and admonished, how can she be allowed to play too much and make her so haggard. ”

Cheng Cheng hurriedly responded: "The slave and maid know." It's just that madam, you also know the temper of the young lady, how can the slave and maid persuade her. ”

Madame sighed heavily and dragged Xiuxiu to the small kitchen.

Seeing that the two of them were far away, he rushed into Jinyunlan's boudoir and reported to her about the arrival of the food.

She got up slowly, and many things flashed through her mind, "Tonight, you and I will send these grains and other items to ......" Her voice stopped abruptly, "authentic" was a sensitive word, she had already experienced the taste of being unconscious the night before. She forced her breath and looked out the window at the sky, and in the evening, she lifted the quilt and got up and said, "I'm going to go out into the street." ”

She came to the long street and found the mobile stall of the sugar gourd without much difficulty. She stopped the boss and made a deal. As she was about to leave, she had a flash of inspiration, turned around and gave the boss a silver ingot, and took the grass target he had on his shoulder.

"I want them all."

When it was about to dinner, Jinyun Lan sent a plate of frosted gourds to Jialanyuan, and it happened that the eldest young master Jinyun Chong was teaching Miss Xiuxiu to write. Consummation didn't linger long and soon left.

When Xiuxiu saw that the snacks came, she was immediately distracted, and she lost the pen and paper and wanted to be greedy. Jinyun Chong sternly stopped her, "You have to concentrate on writing, you are so half-hearted, when can you change the ghost crawling character in your hand." ”

Xiuxiu was not very happy, and her mouth was cocked high.

The lady came out to speak, "You let Xiuxiu rest for a while, it's not too late to write." It just so happened that you went to your sister's place to see her. She's been sick lately, so you should check it out. She blamed him for his cold temperament.

Jinyun Chong's face suddenly became gloomy, and he sneered: "Sick? I'm afraid that I just care about having fun, and I don't know how thick the sky is, and I got some inexplicable wounds back. Afraid that her father and mother would find out, she couldn't hold it on her face, so she lied about the cold. ”

Before Mrs. could answer, Xiuxiu rushed to correct her sister's name: "My sister is so powerful, how can she be hurt." Besides, my sister never messes around with any high-sounding pretense when she goes out, and she goes when she wants to. ”

Madame covered her mouth and smiled: "That's right." Lan'er has always been willing to save face regardless of fame. Ouch! I've got soup on the stove, I'm going to take a look. Okay, I'll have to send it to Lan'er in a while. With that, she moved to the kitchenette in a hurry.

Jinyun Chong's face was pale, and he turned his face to see his little sister pinching the frosted gourd and eating it with relish, with a smile on his face, he suddenly became angry and shouted: "What to eat!" As he spoke, he swept the plate of frosted gourds out.

The white porcelain plate suddenly shattered, and the sweet fruit gurgled everywhere.

Xiuxiu was startled by the piercing scream, and stood at a loss, her eyes instantly turned red, and she cried: "Brother, it's a bad guy!" You're a badass! ”

Jinyun Chong was stunned there, stretched out his hand to appease but stopped, wanted to speak and stopped, and never took action. He took a few steps back in despair, turned and ran away without saying a word.

In the middle of the night, the master and servant quietly left the house.

Jin Yunlan used the Sentimental Seal in reverse at the foot of the empty mountain to arouse Li Yi's attention.

She said in her head: "The food has arrived, come and check it out." ”

A voice suddenly sounded in Li Yi's head on the top of the mountain, and he immediately noticed it and replied to her in his head: "It's here." ”

The master and servant waited for a while in the hidden place at the foot of the mountain, and then saw a few people coming down from the barrier and quickly entered the tunnel. It's just that in the end, Li Yi was the only one who appeared in front of them.

Jin Yunlan hurried to explain to him the contents of the large and small packages, and finally uprooted the grass target that was temporarily inserted on the ground and handed it to him, "Na." ”

"What is this?" He frowned, looking displeased.

Jin Yunlan replied, "This is the sugar gourd I promised Rose. Only buy a bunch, afraid that the children will fight for it. I simply bought a target and gave everyone a try. Take it. ”

Li Yi hesitated to take it.

Immediately afterwards, she took a special burden from Chengcheng's arms and stuffed it into his arms, and a bitter taste of Chinese medicine came to her face. She explains: "It's all about pills that can prolong life. You can do it. ”

"Why?" He seemed to wonder why she was doing such superfluous things, which were clearly not part of the deal.

Jinyun Lan smiled and said, "You just let me be nosy." ”

He stood still, looking at her suspiciously.

Jin Yunlan looked at him holding a grass target in one hand and a medicine bag in the other, with his unsmiling serious face, it was really funny, like a fortune teller who resold fake medicines. Fortunately, his face is really superior, I'm afraid that even if he knows that he sells fake drugs, there are many people who are willing to be deceived.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Yan said with a hesitant expression: "Don't think about some messy things. I don't sell counterfeit medicines. ”

Jin Yunlan subconsciously covered her mouth, forgetting that the heart seal had not yet been unraveled, and everything she thought in her heart would be transmitted to Li Yi's mind.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. lest anyone find out, we will not linger. With that, she untied the feeling seal, pulled the completion and turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." Li Yi opened his mouth to stop her.

Jin Yunlan turned around and looked at him suspiciously.

"Reach out." His face was calm.

She obediently spread her palm to her, and a red, flower-shaped pill fell from his finger into her palm.

"Antidote." He was concise and to the point.

Only then did she react, and subconsciously wanted to say, thank you, but she felt inappropriate. After hesitating, Li Yi had already turned his back and left.

She stopped talking, swallowed the pill and left the place with the circle.

After the group carried the grain on the empty mountain, the night was like the New Year, no, it was more lively than the New Year.

The adults were busy distributing the rice grains, while the children each had a string of sugar gourds in their hands, and their mouths were full of icing.

Li Qiang held a red hawthorn, tiptoed in front of Li Yi, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Yu, after a busy night, you can eat one too." ”

Li Yi did not refuse, took the hawthorn, took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste suddenly invaded his taste buds, making his slightly frowning brow expand.

"Is it sweet?" Li Qiang asked.

Li Yan nodded: "Sweet." ”

"It's all thanks to Sister Lan, isn't it?" Li Qiang shrugged her thin shoulders and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

At this moment, he heard the call of Jin Yunlan in his head.

"Are the kids happy?" She asked.

He replied in his mind: "Don't get carried away, open the Feeling Seal frequently. ”

"I'm just curious to know what's going on. I promise you that you will never open it in the future unless there is a big event. Can you tell me now, are the kids happy? If you're happy, I'll bring something else next time. ”

Li Yi coughed lightly and replied unnaturally: "It's a ...... Rejoice. ”

There was a laugh on the other end, "That's good, that's good, I know it." Then I'll withdraw. By the way, greet my aunt for me and thank her for her clothes and hairpins. As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from his mind.

Li Mu walked out of the house, and her face was full of joy. Seeing this lively scene, she couldn't help but sigh: "This empty mountain has not been so lively for a long time." That kid was a warm man. As she spoke, she clenched the prescription that Jin Yunlan had given her alone, hidden under her sleeve.

Li Yi watched quietly, without saying a word, but he was full of emotion in his heart, he had not heard such a crisp laugh for a long time.

After that, Jinyunlan recuperated at home for half a month, during which her father came to see her several times. It's just that he is busy with affairs and doesn't have time to say a few words, so he often just uses a meal to have a meal with her. The father and daughter exchanged a few words of greeting and made eye contact, and there was nothing else.

It wasn't until the day before she submitted her application to Jinyun College that her father came to visit her again.

At dinner, she told her father that she was going to the academy tomorrow.

The patriarch nodded, not disagreeing with her decision. The two were eating quietly, he suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at her fixedly, and asked, "Lan'er, I have thought about my father these days." I never seem to ask for your opinion, just imposing my own expectations on you. Come to think of it, you don't feel very comfortable either. If you really have no intention of joining the clan association, you will no longer be forced to be a father, and you will live according to your heart. ”

When Jin Yunlan heard this, she also put down her chopsticks. She turned her head to look at the mountains of ancient books and history books on the desk. These days, she stayed at home to recuperate, not in vain, she borrowed many historical records from Zhuzhu, trying to find clues about the grievances between Jinyun and Li from the texts of different eras.

However, the results were not satisfactory, and in the past half a month, she has been very knowledgeable, and has looked through almost all the relevant classics in the bookstore, but has not found the slightest clue that can be used.

In the history compiled by the Jinyun Records, there are only inconspicuous words and phrases, suspiciously few, as if this group did not exist in the world at all.

She couldn't help but wonder if Jinyun was deliberately covering up some unknown facts.

Perhaps just by virtue of her status as an outsider, she will never be able to know the truth and get in touch with the truth.

Her father had invited her to the clan meeting countless times, and she had refused countless times on the grounds that she was not interested. This time, however, she replied affirmatively, "No, Father, I'm going to join!" ”

The patriarch bowed slightly, and the corners of his lips were secretly raised slightly.
