Chapter Forty-Six: The Heart of the Color
Before I approached Yunfu, I felt the solemnity of the air.
Guan Xingyi was also standing by the door.
He walked up the stairs and walked up to him and said, "I didn't expect you to have an errand on duty here." ”
Guan Xingyi nodded in return: "Miss is back." Our eldest son is also in the house. ”
"Oh, he's back, you're in such a hurry?" I replied in amazement.
"Hmm. Miss is tired from the journey, so I don't delay Miss to rest. Guan Xingyi raised his hand and made a "please" gesture.
"Good. ”
Entering the house, the number of patrols coming and going has increased by half.
Passing by Yun Qinglin's study, Joy was waiting by the door. Seeing me approaching, he called me with a smile: "Miss Shui, you're back." ”
I smiled and nodded in response.
After a few twists and turns, a small courtyard appeared in front of my eyes, with a three-story building. There was a chair at the door of the room on the east side of the second floor, and Bai Qiao sat on it boredly, staring at the courtyard door with blank eyes.
I smiled and pushed open the courtyard door.
"Miss, you're back!" Bai Qiao jumped up from his chair and shouted to me across the railing.
"Bai Qiao, are you okay?" I asked.
A month ago, I came to Yunfu with the "little blush" rouge sent to me by Aunt Peony, Bai Qiao out of kindness, wanted to find me a rouge to put on makeup, and smelled a few more mouthfuls of the rouge carefully prepared by Aunt Peony.
Astragalus, a leading miracle doctor of the younger generation in Cheongju, told me that for people with good internal strength, it is only that the true qi in the body is invaded and their luck is difficult, but for ordinary people who have no internal strength, the release of the soul is a poison, and after only a few sips, the medicinal properties will slowly spread in the body, and within half a month, they will be weak and bedridden.
So I asked Astragalus for an antidote and entrusted Wo Mengxuan to bring the antidote to Bai Qiao.
"Thank you for the antidote, I have nothing abnormal at all, but I feel weak for a few days. Bai Qiao replied.
"That's good. ”
Yu Dai sat at the stone table in the courtyard doing some embroidery, and was happy to see me. She put down the embroidery, got up, and called out to me, "Miss." ”
"I haven't seen her for many days, and Yu Dai is much more beautiful again. I complimented.
Yu Dai lowered her head and smiled shyly.
"Miss, the eldest prince said that you have come back in the last few days, and we are looking forward to it every day. Bai Qiao jumped down from the upper floor and said around me.
"Is your eldest son a god operator? "I said against my will.
"Pretty much. Bai Qiao responded with a grin.
I had just recovered from a serious illness and should not talk too much, so I carried my luggage through the living room and went upstairs.
Bai Qiao is a little talker, and finally when I came back, who admired her, followed behind me, and kept talking.
"Miss, you haven't been in Yunfu for so long, Aunt Che has made you a lot of clothes, very good-looking, she also made you two men's clothes, you have to thank me for my mouthy that day. Before I could speak, Bai Qiao first chuckled to himself.
"Miss, since you sat in the middle of our two sons on the day of the eldest son's wedding banquet, the ladies who came to visit the mansion have been asking about your identity, and there are a few matchmakers who have come to tell you about matchmaking!"
"Not to mention, there are really a few good sons, Qin Zuixue, the second son of Yanshanzhuang in Beizhou Mall, their family is in the fireworks business, and there are firearms or something, I heard that he is handsome, writes a good poem, and plays a good piano. ”
"There is also Huo Mingzhu, the youngest son of Huo Mansion in Fancheng, Hongzhou, who is the fifth oldest in the family, and Huo Mansion is in the grain merchant business. Master Huo Fu wanted a daughter, so he gave the fifth child who had not yet been born a daughter name, Mingzhu. didn't expect to be born as a son. However, this fifth prince has a daughter-like appearance, talented, intelligent, gentle and affectionate, but not abusive. ”
"The most powerful thing is to belong to the Prince's Mansion, the third son of the Prince, Li Zhan, the king of Huairen County, sent someone to invite you to the Prince's Mansion as a guest. It's strange for you to say, the Prince's Mansion didn't send anyone to attend the eldest prince's wedding banquet, why did King Huairen County see you, Miss?" Bai Qiao frowned, more like talking to himself.
"Bad guys, that's a good name. I responded.
Bai Qiao giggled and laughed again.
"But our Yunfu ladies don't think the same way as them," Bai Qiao glanced at me, as cunning as a little fox, she said, "Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, cousin, you can kiss and kiss." ”
I couldn't help it, I laughed, but shook my head and didn't comment.
"Two days ago, a few thieves had the audacity to come to our Yunfu. We are here as the mansion of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, and they are so bold. ”
"And that kind of thing?" I asked, tilting my head to look at her.
Bai Qiao nodded a few times and said, "The second manager didn't let us discuss, and we weren't allowed to inquire, Yu Dai and I stood upstairs and saw the torches in the hands of the patrol guards that night, illuminating the mansion brightly. The eldest prince also returned home that night, and I heard that the eldest prince almost caught one of the most powerful thieves. It's a pity that there is a person with particularly high martial arts who rescued people. ”
Bai Qiao said with a gloomy expression: "The eldest prince has locked himself in the study for two days for this reason, and I heard that he is going to retreat and continue to study martial arts. ”
"Your eldest son's martial arts are already very good compared to ordinary people. I said with a pertinent assessment.
Bai Qiao's eyes shone again: "Really? I think so too." ”
I smiled and pushed open the door to my room.
The air is smooth and spotlessly clean. Bai Qiao and Yu Dai have a heart.
Bai Qiao opened the door of the wardrobe and showed me the works of Mrs. Che, all of which were the styles and colors I liked.
"Miss, I'll go boil some hot water for you, take a bath, and change into the new clothes that Aunt Che made for you. Later, Yu Dai will make you a delicious lunch. After Bai Qiao finished speaking, he left me alone in the room.
I sat down at the table, raised my hand to my forehead, and only stayed in Womengxuan for two more days, and I still had some headaches.
I sat in my chair for a quarter of an hour before I breathed my breath and opened my luggage. The two woodcarving gifts given to me by the Variety Scholar were deposited by me in Womengxuan, and I thought that there was the safest.
Shake off the garment and a small piece of wood falls to the ground. The wood chip has a picture of a cake, a fish, and the sun in the center of the top, which was once hidden in the wind chime.
Pick it up and hold it gently in the palm of your hand. The bending movement was too loud, and it brought a twitch pain in my head.
After packing up his luggage, Bai Qiao also found a servant to bring wooden barrels and hot water.
In recent days, my body is not suitable for touching water, but I can't refuse Bai Qiao's kindness.
After the hot bath, it is more weak, but refreshing. Changing into a yellow cogon wrap skirt and a red gold wide-sleeved mopping gown made for me by the lady Che, it may be a psychological effect, and there is a sense of tranquility at the beginning of a serious illness.
At lunch, Bai Qiao was full of praise for my clothes. I was dizzy when I heard this, so I hurriedly rewarded her with a bag of coins and asked her to take Yu Dai to the Jinyu Garment Store to make more clothes after dinner. She was so shocked that her eyes were about to petrify, and it took a long time to cover her mouth and finish her meal with surprise and joy.
In the afternoon, Bai Qiao and Yu Dai were not there, I was happy, made a pot of health tea, spread my hair, and lay on the recliner on the third floor with my eyes closed.
There was no wind today, the temperature was very warm, and before I knew it, I was asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, a tall figure stood in front of the railing, it was Yun Qinglin. Naturally, I remembered the day I fell to the ground, and he gradually approached from the darkness.
"I heard you locked yourself in your study, and today's retreat is over?" I began.
Yun Qinglin didn't turn around, only replied with an "um".
I got up, walked slowly to his side, and said, "When did you come in?"
Yun Qinglin turned his head to look at me this time, but he didn't answer the question: "You are wearing this new dress, you are very beautiful." ”
I smiled, but frowned at the headache.
"Are you sick?" Yun Qinglin asked me, his eyes clear and unwavering.
I shook my head slowly.
Yun Qinglin turned around, looked up at the top of the wall on the third floor, and said, "There is an attic in Yishui Pavilion, have you found it?"
I didn't want to have any more headaches, so I just opened my mouth and replied, "Found it." ”
Yun Qinglin's clothes today are still dark blue, and the wind brought by the dark blue clothes swirls across my side face, and he stepped on the protrusions of the walls on both sides, pushed open the square planks on the roof, and entered the attic.
I sighed inwardly, lifted my breath, stepped on the wall, and flew up as well.
After entering the attic, it takes off a spin in the air, but it does not stop. My body was a little worse than I expected, and the severe pain in my head was restricting my flexibility. Reflexively, he stretched out his left hand, pressed his index finger firmly on his temple, staggered, and took two steps to the side.
Yun Qinglin quickly supported me, I leaned on his chest, closed my eyes and breathed hard, trying to calm the sudden pain in my brain quickly.
"Are you sick?" he asked again, his voice a little hoarse.
I said "um", my mind raced, and I replied to him: "A month ago, on your wedding day, I met Aunt Peony, and she enthusiastically gave me a box of rouge. ”
"Soul Release?" Yun Qinglin asked.
I entrusted Wo Mengxuan to bring the antidote to Soul Release to Bai Qiao, and Yun Qinglin must be clear about this matter.
"Well, that's just poison in rouge. She also soaked the corrosive, cold-cold medicine into the wooden box of rouge, and during that time, I was out and about for many days, and I felt cold, so the medicine was very fast. ”
"I'm going to ask someone to show you. Yun Qinglin said, and he wanted to help me out.
"It's okay, not now. I used some medication to recuperate, but it was just some sequelae. Just rest for a few days. "My breath has eased, and I still have a heart-piercing pain in my head.
Yun Qinglin said no more.
I exercise, using internal force to soothe tense nerves.
I don't know how long it has been, but half an hour, a quarter of an hour, I opened my eyes, and under the glass in the middle of the attic, a beam of light illuminated every corner of the attic. The wooden windows on the east and west sides were open, and the warm air softly left and right the portrait of Lady Suizuki.
"Better?" Yun Qinglin asked.
Removing my head from his chest, I tried to nod and the headache did lessen.
Walking up to the portrait of Lady Shuiyue, I asked the moon-like woman in the painting, "This is the painting of the alliance leader?"
No response.
I looked back, and Yun Qinglin was still standing in place, looking down and thinking deeply.
Walking up to him again, I looked up and winked at him in confusion. Yun Qinglin's pupils focused on my eyes, and there were some emotions surging in his eyes, gradually turning from faint to thick.
There are some things that I haven't dreamed of, and that's a lie.
However, since Leng Yijun's refusal to marry, I have become a killer since then, born for the task, and the marriage contract is not a marriage contract in the real sense. On that day, Yun Qinglin was dressed in the groom's red clothes, and he was close at hand, but only the name given to me by my biological father was the other protagonist.
There is also that one, who is at ease in the autumn color, and the stars are flying yew at night. He came step by step, for the sake of me, and the second daughter of the patriarch of the Shui clan, the killer Lan Xu, was assigned to the person with the highest status in Cai Qi Killing, that was just a statement from Mrs. Mu Xiang, my mother. She can use it for other purposes at any time. It's like the marriage contract between Yuefu and Yunfu.
Many times, I believe that I am like a life that does not belong to this world, and I disguised myself into reincarnation because of longing for love, but unfortunately there is no me on the marriage spectrum, and I have long forgotten where I belonged.
So Yun Qinglin's heart for me made me confused and timid.
In the Huaxi Garden of Cheongju Yuefu, the sunset was full of sky, and I lay my hands on Tang Lingshu's chest, and his hands wrapped around my waist. He looked down at me, his gaze as deep as a bottomless pit.
The first time I saw Tang Lingshu, I knew that he knew me, but the human skin mask back then was not only an ornament, but also a constraint and regulation, and I didn't dare to think deeply about his identity. So no matter how deep he looks at me, I won't speculate, unless it's that person, I will open my heart a little to receive the emotions he expresses. But in the end, it turned out that he was that person.
Fate secretly surprised me with a little care, and I couldn't help myself. The world is big, I can find a breakthrough in my destiny? Will there be? Will it be?
I withdrew my gaze and walked over to the portrait of Lady Suizuki again.
"There is a beautiful woman in the peerless generation, living in the hollow valley. The national color is drunk, and the sky is fragrant and the clothes are dyed at night. It was painted by my father's recollections. Yun Qinglin still stood in place, and after a moment, he answered my question.
