"… "
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to return.
When he walked up to the vendor selling candied haws and took out the silver, the girl turned her head slightly, glanced at him, then continued to look at the wall in front of her with a cold face.
"Buy... four."
Luo Qingzhou decided to tease her.
He took four strings of candied haws and walked away without calling her.
After walking for a distance, he suddenly felt a familiar chill, which instantly enveloped his entire body.
Chills in the spine, itchy neck...
He stopped and looked back.
The cold girl was no longer under that roof, and no one knew where she had gone.
He was stunned for a moment, turned around and found that the girl had stood silently on his right side like a ghost without him knowing when, as if she had never left the place where he had held the umbrella just now.
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Miss Xia Chan, candied haws..."
"snort!"
The girl turned her face away and looked away.
Luo Qingzhou: "... Miss Xia Chan, please..."
The girl then accepted it, still turning her face away and looking away coldly.
Luo Qingzhou ignored her, put the remaining three skewers into the paper bag containing the buns, opened the umbrella, and covered her head with it.
The snowflakes are like goose feathers, floating in the air.
The sky and the earth were covered in white.
People are walking on the road in a hurry.
The vendors on both sides of the street were still shouting loudly in the wind and snow.
Luo Qingzhou held an umbrella, slowed down his pace, thought about things, and walked slowly.
The girl next to me also walked very slowly.
The two seemed to be strolling on the snowy streets, neither in a hurry to go back.
But the road has an end.
Returned home.
After sending the girl beside him to the door of "Lingchan Moon Palace", Luo Qingzhou returned the umbrella and was about to leave.
“Squeak.”
The gate opened.
Bailing "just happened" to appear, and immediately stretched out her hand, revealing two sweet dimples on her pretty face, and said happily: "My son-in-law is so nice, he bought me a candied haws specially."
Without waiting for Luo Qingzhou's consent, she walked over, took a string of candied haws from the paper bag, squinted her eyes and took a bite: "Sweet!"
Luo Qingzhou was about to leave when he heard her say in surprise, "Oh, Chanchan, didn't your uncle buy any for you? You're so pitiful, you can only watch me eat it. But if you beg me, I can give you a bite."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and saw that the candied haws in the cold girl's hand had been eaten up at some point, leaving only a bamboo stick.
She stood there with a cold face, her pink lips still stained with sparkling sugar juice. When she saw him looking over, she immediately turned her pretty face away and looked elsewhere.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, looked at Bailing who was showing off by biting the candied haws with her little mouth and said: "Miss Xia Chan has already eaten it."
After saying this, he did not linger any longer and turned to leave.
He did not go back immediately, but went to where Miss Qin Er lived.
Miss Qin stayed in the house all day long and had not gone out for who knows how long. It was estimated that the maids and servants did not dare to buy food for her casually.
This candied haws tastes sour and sweet, she should like it.
And this thing shouldn't do any harm to her body.
In the Qin Mansion, Miss Qin II has always been very kind to him.
When I bought candied haws, I naturally thought of her.
When he arrived at the door, before he knocked, Zhu'er had already opened the door and walked out, holding a porcelain cup for soup. When she saw him, she was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Sir, I brought you chicken soup. It's in your kitchen. Remember to drink it. By the way, are you here to see my young lady?"
Luo Qingzhou handed the candied haws in his hand to her and said, "I just bought it outside. I wonder if the second young lady wants to eat it."
Zhu'er looked at the candied haws, then looked at him, hesitated for a moment, stepped aside and said, "Sir, please go in by yourself. The young lady is reading in the study."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I won't go in. I have to go back to study. Miss Zhu'er, please help me take it in."
Zhu'er looked at him suspiciously again, then took the candied haws and said "oh", seeming a little reluctant.
Luo Qingzhou heard what she was thinking: This guy is being attentive to my lady for no reason, could he really have any thoughts about my lady? Damn it, I have to tell my wife
"Forget it, Miss Zhu'er, the Second Miss is not in good health and cannot eat such cold food."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly took the candied haws back from her hand, then said goodbye and left.
Zhu'er stood at the door, staring blankly at his back as he walked away quickly.
After a while, Fang pouted and muttered, "It's inexplicable."
After thinking for a while, she turned back and walked to the window under the eaves to report: "Miss, the son-in-law just came."
Qin Weimo, who was reading at the table, immediately put down the book in her hand, but heard her say angrily: "But he left again... The son-in-law is really weird. He clearly bought candied haws and said they were for the young lady. He had already given them to me, but he suddenly took them back. I don't know what he meant."
Qin Weimo was stunned for a moment, frowned, thought for a moment, and asked softly: "Zhu'er, tell me everything you said when you met your brother-in-law just now, and what you were thinking at that time."
"Miss… "
"Go ahead."
Qin Weimo's voice was soft and his eyes were gentle, but his tone was unquestionable.
Zhu'er didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly told him what had just happened and what she had just thought.
Qin Weimo listened and sighed softly: "Zhu'er, don't let your imagination run wild in front of your brother-in-law next time. Your brother-in-law is honest and upright, not what you think. He gave me the candied haws only because I treated him well in the Qin Mansion, and he was grateful. So when he went out to buy the candied haws, he thought of me. He must have bought them specifically for Xiaodie."
Zhu Er asked in confusion: "Miss, but this servant... This servant just thought about it in her heart and did not tell the master. This servant has a very good attitude."
Qin Weimo smiled bitterly: "You don't know, sometimes people will show what they think on their faces and in their eyes. My brother-in-law is different from others. He grew up in that kind of environment, and later returned to Chengguo Mansion with his mother. I'm afraid he lived more cautiously, so he learned to read people's expressions since he was a child, and he has a strong self-esteem. He came to give me the candied haws with good intentions, but you showed reluctance and doubted him, so he naturally felt uncomfortable, so he took back the candied haws and left."
Zhu Er opened her eyes wide and looked at her: "Miss, you...how do you know your uncle so well? You...are you..."
Qin Weimo shook his head slightly: "You are imagining things again. My relationship with my brother-in-law is just that of a brother-in-law and a sister. I just admire my brother-in-law's talent, like being with him, like listening to him talk and tell stories, and I feel very comfortable and calm... It's not what you think."
Zhu Er said "Oh" and lowered her head and said, "Miss, I'm sorry... Then, I'll go and apologize to the uncle, okay?"
Qin Weimo was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "No need. It would be bad if you apologized. Besides, my brother-in-law is broad-minded and won't bother with you about this matter. Where's Qiu'er? Call her over. I want to go to my brother-in-law's place."
Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, as if she wanted to dissuade her, but seeing the expression on her face and thinking of her stubbornness, she had no choice but to run to the other room to call Qiu'er and Nanny.
Luo Qingzhou had just returned to the courtyard with the steamed buns and the remaining two strings of candied haws when he suddenly noticed a cold figure standing under the pear tree.
She was wearing a light green dress, with a slim waist and a perky hip, and black hair that reached her waist. She was pretty and cold, with her arms folded across her chest and a sword in her arms. She was like a sculpture, motionless under the falling snow.
His head, shoulders, arms in front of his chest, and sword were all covered with snowflakes.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He took another string of candied haws and walked over: "Miss Xia Chan..."
"snort!"
The girl turned her face to the side and raised her chin slightly.
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and when he was about to withdraw his hand and ignore her, the girl suddenly snatched it away and left quickly.
When Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked, she had already walked out of the door and disappeared in the vast snow and wind outside.
baffling.
Are candied haws so delicious
Luo Qingzhou was puzzled. He went into the house, took out the last string from the paper bag, put it to his mouth and took a bite.
Sweet and sour, just so-so.
But for those who have not enjoyed the various flavors of his era, it is indeed okay.
He put the rest back into a paper bag, preparing to give it to Xiaodie in the evening.
On the road outside.
Xia Chan was walking in the snow, and was biting her second string of candied haws with a crisp sound, when she suddenly heard noisy footsteps in front of her.
Then, a group of maids and nannies surrounded a weak figure and slowly walked out from the snow curtain in front.
Xia Chan was stunned for a moment and moved to the side of the road.
When he got closer, Qin Weimo's eyes suddenly looked at the candied haws in her hand.
In the snow.
The two girls looked at each other.
