Liu Qiqiao sat in the pavilion by the lake in the garden. He watched for a long time and watched the workers carrying things, pillars, wooden boards, built into platforms, coming and going, carrying things, nailing things, and he was very busy. At the meeting, Lan Xiang waited aside, whispering: "Seeing that it's noon, let's go back!"
Liu Qiqiao put her hand on the table, holding her cheeks, she could see that, after hearing Lan Xiang's words, she raised her head and looked at the sky, the sun was in the center, it was noon, she actually sat here unknowingly. It's been a long time.
But she didn't feel tired at all, and smiled: "It's meaningless to go back. It's better to be here, the wind is warm and it blows very comfortably!"
The sky in April is really comfortable. If you ignore the catkins that stick to your face and get into your neck, the grass by the lake is green and full of life.
Lan Xiang smiled and said, "It seems it's noon now. Auntie, aren't you hungry?"
Liu Qiqiao shook his head: "I'm not hungry. I ate late this morning. Now, I don't feel hungry at all. I will sit for a while and go back soon!"
Lan Xiang had to wait on one side. She didn't say anything when she looked at Liu Qiqiao. She just looked at the excitement on the other side across the lake. Her eyes were longing. Lan Xiang really couldn't understand Liu Qiqiao's thoughts. It seems that in the house, embroidering flowers, teasing the birds, and then thinking about how to dress up beautifully, just wait for the xianggong to come back and serve the xianggong well. This is a good day.
She really can’t understand. Now, it’s clear that Young Master treats her aunt so well, but why is her aunt always depressed, always thinking about going out, even if she sits here and blows the air, she doesn’t like to go back to her yard. Just ask, in this mansion, the yards of the decent masters are removed, and the one that can compete with the spring scenery of Haitang, that is, the "Tingxiang Xiaozhu" where my aunt lives.
The eldest master really didn't say to Qi Yiniang, he was thinking about her everywhere, this is also a good fortune for my auntie, Lan Xiang thought, Xu is auntie is young, after waiting for two years, she became a mother, and she will understand naturally. , Nothing, it is better and more practical to not get the grace of comradeship.
I don’t want to. Liu Qiqiao was sitting for more than half an hour. She herself felt hungry. Another thing was that the sun made her sleepy. Last night, it was really too late, she remembered. , His face flushed, rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and stood up: "Okay, let's go!"
Lan Xiang had just been sitting under one side of the porch. Just now she was drowsy. When Lan Xiang said this, she stood up hurriedly. Good fellow, the workers over there have all set up the table. No wonder the aunt wants After leaving, the work of others was finished. She watched obediently for so long from here, and they stood up and walked out of the pavilion, because it was not very hot yet, and there were not many flowers and plants in the garden. People who came here to stroll around. Naturally there are not many. They have been sitting here for a long time, but no one came over.
Their masters and servants walked down the pavilion, walked through the corridor, walked over the aisle wall, and finally returned to their yard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qiangwei walked over in the wing and smiled: "Why did my aunt come back? The eldest master has been here several times, but I haven't seen you come back..."
"Is he okay?" Liu Qiqiao said, walking towards the upper room, Lan Xiang whispered: "I'll ask the small kitchen to make some noodles for my aunt, just eat a little..."
Liu Qiqiao nodded, Lan Xiang went to give orders, Liu Qiqiao walked into the upper room, Qiangwei walked over, untied her outer Confucian shirt, and went to the outer skirt below, wearing only the thin one inside. In the skirt, Liu Qiqiao changed the warm water and waited for her to wash her face and hands. On the other side, Lan Xiang also brought the noodles in: "Master, the noodles are ready, come and eat!"
Liu Qiqiao walked over and took a simple bowl of hot noodle soup, a few green cabbage leaves, and an egg lying on it. The thin noodles turned out to be noodles. Liu Qiqiao took a bite: "It's cooked in chicken broth. That's it!"
Lan Xiang nodded and smiled, "You sent beef and mutton that day. You didn't let it be made into sauce. This chicken was delivered the day before yesterday. I asked the small kitchen to stew it. After a while, the young master will come over, and the soup will be cooked for you. When the noodles are finished, the chicken will be boiled again at night, it is just delicious!"
Liu Qiqiao pouted, trying to say something, but after looking at Lan Xiang's beautiful expression, she put it in her mouth, otherwise, Lan Xiang would say she was stingy again.
No, Lan Xiang really got it right. Before dusk, Shen Yunong came. Lan Xiang was busy asking the small kitchen to re-simmer the chicken, then took daylily, bamboo shoots and goji berries and added them. Simmer it slowly. Just as Shen Yunong said that he would eat here in the evening, Lan Xiang brought the chicken, opened the lid of the casserole, and the aroma was full of nose. Liu Qiqiao was lightly stabbed by Lan Xiang on the back. She had to stand up, personally held a small bowl for Shen Yunong, filled a small bowl of chicken soup, and put it in front of Shen Yunong: "Master, you taste it!"
Shen Yunong was very happy, took it, looked up at Liu Qiqiao, and suddenly smiled: "Is it that difficult to call me a maid?"
Liu Qiqiao sat down, took the bowl that Lan Xiang handed over, took a sip, and sighed with satisfaction: "It's delicious!" She ignored Shen Yunong's words.
Shen Yunong didn't care about her, and took a sip. It was really delicious. He drank a small bowl in one breath and then said: "Is the sachet made yesterday, is it ready?"
Liu Qiqiao nodded: "Well, it's finished!"
Shen Yunong nodded and said nothing. The two guarded the small casserole and ate very seriously. After a while, they gargle. Shen Yunong spit out the water after rinsing into the small glass bowl. Inside, he chewed two slices of mint and was chewing. Seeing Liu Qiqiao stand up and want to go out, he said, "Your embroidery work has always been good. What is it like? Anyway, you are in the house now and there is no left or right. What's the matter, why don't you make me a pair of shoes again!"
It wasn't a negotiating tone, but like an order, Liu Qiqiao was stunned and turned around.
Shen Yunong was picking up the veil handed by the maid, and wiping his mouth. It was like that, it was so free, as if he was just waiting for Liu Qiqiao to turn his head. He smiled: "What's the matter? Don't you want to do it?"
"No!" Liu Qiqiao retracted his gaze, not knowing why, but felt something was wrong.
Shen Yunong did not stay with Liu Qiqiao this day. Today is the first day of the new year. According to the usual practice, his habit is to stay with his wife Huangfu Haoyue on the fifteenth day.
He was a little uncomfortable and even deliberately explained it to Liu Qiqiao, but Liu Qiqiao was relieved, which really made Shen Yunong feel very hurt. He could always feel that he was listening to Xiangxiaozhu in here. , Is not very rare, its master, for his arrival, is indispensable.
Shen Yunong was right. Liu Qiqiao was not disgusted with sharing the bed with him before. That was because Shen Yunong was very polite with her. Now, every time she thinks that Shen Yunong will sleep here at night, , There will be something that makes her unspeakable, so that it makes her feel uncomfortable, especially, the next day, to face, Lan Xiang’s joy, Qiangwei and Jasmine’s slightly excited and jealous faces, she all Feel embarrassed.
She is only eighteen years old, and her mother died early, and she has never had the advice and education that should be given to her. She stumbled all the way and made countless jokes. Now that she is a little scared, she gets closer to Shen Yunong every time. Some, she felt that she was a step away from the life outside the house she yearned for.
Shen Yunong seemed to be full of sexual strength, beating her and becoming one of those women in his house.
Those, I heard from Lin Pingmo or Shen Yunong, the stories of them going north and south, they all made her yearn for.
She doesn't want to go back to the house, she has been extremely boring these days.
Shen Yunong was gone, she was obviously much happier, and for a while, she brought the orchid incense to bring flowers, and she embroidered the sachet under the lamp for a while. She was going to embroider the sachet for Mrs. Shen, so embroidering is a blessing. word. After embroidering for a while, she put it down again, walked to the side room, and took out the sticker. Shen Yunong made the sticker for her. She patiently got down and wrote the words for half an hour until Lan Xiang said , It's too late, don't be tired, tomorrow, be careful of backache, she just piled up the pen.
"Auntie, the bed is ready, do you want to sleep?" Lan Xiang said.
Liu Qiqiao nodded, and said to Lan Xiang, "I'll do it by myself. You can go to bed too. You don't need you here!" She said with a smile, Lan Xiang shook her head and said amusedly: "Auntie, you still It's really different. People are eager to keep the young master. Look at you. When the young master says that he is not here, you will be excited!"
"Am I excited? No!" Liu Qiqiao smiled and jumped onto the bed! Lan Xiang hurriedly called her: "Auntie!"
Liu Qiqiao lay down on her body, wrapped the quilt around her body, twisted, stretched again, and smiled and asked Lan Xiang, "What's wrong? What's wrong with me!"
Lan Xiang smiled and said, "I also said that you are not excited, but depending on your appearance, you are almost ready to set up a big top!"
Liu Qiqiao took it out, put it on the quilt, thumped it, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I really learned from my sisters when I was a kid. Once I turned it over, I could stand up by leaning against the wall. I... "
Seeing that she was really going to rush out to set up a big top, Lan Xiang hurriedly held her hand, tucked her quilt corner, and smiled: "Okay, auntie, you can sleep well, don't catch the monster. Up!"
Liu Qiqiao smiled, Lan Xiang stepped out gently, before leaving, walked to the table and turned off the light for her.
Lan Xiang went out, closed the door, and the room darkened a bit, but after adjusting to the light, Liu Qiqiao gradually saw everything in the room.
She rolled again and got this bed. It was really big. Sleeping alone. Rolling from one end to the other. She had to roll over several times. Liu Qiqiao was very excited. Shen Yunong was not here, so she was not nervous. , Very happy.
Turning it back again, the moonlight came in, reflecting the bed account, Lan Xiang put the bed account down for her, she reached out and opened one side, outside, the moon was hanging on the treetops, she stared at the moon blankly. Trance.
Last time, Shen Yunong said that she was allowed to go out, but because after these few days, it was Xiaohutou’s Hundred Days Banquet. During this time, there was a mess in the mansion, and Liu Qiqiao didn’t want to make trouble at this time. After waiting for Xiaohutou's 100-day banquet, she wanted Shen Yunong to come to her and fulfill his promise.
