Chapter 619
The rain crosses the wind and the wind is violent in March, and the door covers the dusk, no plan to stay in spring.
Since returning from the lake tour that day, it coincided with the misty rain that lasted for several days, Lin Chuqian stayed in the mansion all day long behind closed doors.
Even Gao Zili, who couldn't bear the loneliness and often visited the house, also fell ill after falling into the water and returned home with a fever. The cold spring water of Bitian Lake finally defeated Gao Zili, who had always been healthy.
When no one came to the door, she often had nothing to do and supported her head under the eaves of her courtyard, looking up at the light rain that had been falling for several days in a daze.
The drizzle is continuous, moistening things silently.
Occasionally, Xiangguo found a tea set to make tea under the eaves, but no matter how hard she tried, she always felt that the taste was not good.
Maybe it's because she brewed the wrong tea.
I don't know how He Changsheng's Qingqiu is fried, but after drinking it, people often miss it like an addiction.
Tsk—couldn't there be some special things added to it?
Lin Chuqian, who wanted to avoid He Changsheng, naturally wouldn't ask him. Since she couldn't verify it, she could only give up making tea in embarrassment.
Since she couldn't have a sip of the tea she wanted, she asked Xiangguo to find a few sweet potatoes to roast and eat.
I wanted to satisfy my hunger, but after roasting it, I broke it open and took a bite. I felt that it was a bit boring. I started to bake a few that I wanted to eat once, and finally I only took a few bites and stuffed the rest with Xiangguo.
I don't want to go out in the mansion, but I feel uneasy sitting under the eaves.
Xiangguo has been by her side for many years, and the two almost grew up together, but she has never seen Lin Chuqian like this.
"Miss, what's the matter with you?"
"I don't know what's wrong." Lin Chuqian sighed and sat down, then suddenly stood up and walked back and forth. "It just doesn't feel right."
"Miss, don't you have some kind of illness?" Xiangguo ate the cake, expressing concern inarticulately.
Lin Chuqian glanced at her speechlessly, stood under the eaves and looked up at the gray sky, in a trance, but couldn't help but think about what happened during the lake tour that day.
The sparkling lake water, the lingering light kiss, and his gloomy eyes when he left.
Seeing her inexplicably sighing again, Xiangguo couldn't help but said, "Miss, why do you seem to be in unrequited love?"
"Unrequited love?" Lin Chuqian turned her head with an overly shocked expression. "Nonsense, how can I have unrequited love?"
"You are either in a daze or sighing every day. You don't think about eating and drinking, and you have trouble sleeping and eating. It's either lovesick or worried."
Xiangguo drank Lin Chuqian's freshly brewed tea, and thought it was excellent for pairing with cakes, but she didn't know why her lady brewed it every day, but she didn't drink a few sips.
"I guess I was worried about my elder brother's safety." Lin Chuqian seemed to have found the reason for her restlessness. "And Zhaojun, I don't know where he is now."
Xiangguo nodded in cooperation. "It turns out that Miss is so anxious because of Eldest Young Master and Miss Ye."
Anxiety is an excellent word to use.
Lin Chuqian stepped forward and snatched the pastry that Xiangguo had just taken out of her arms, stuffed it into her mouth and took a bite, feeling very sweet and greasy.
He hurriedly picked up the tea to dilute the sweetness in his mouth, frowned and asked, "You eat so many pastries every day, don't you feel tired?"
Although Xiangguo, who had been robbed of pastries, was a little unhappy, she still took out a new piece and ate it in small bites.
"No, how could it be boring?" She said, "Maybe it's because you and I have different tastes. I think this pastry is especially suitable for pairing with tea."
Lin Chuqian had nothing to say, she silently put down the piece of pastry she had bitten into, feeling the sweetness left in her mouth, and inexplicably remembered the candied dessert that He Changsheng bought back from an unexpected trip one day when he was in He Mansion.
At that time, the candied dates were too sweet and greasy, but the Qingqiu soaked with him was very harmonious.
Sure enough, there was still a glass of Qingqiu missing.
Lin Chuqian sighed again unconsciously.
"Miss thinks of Eldest Young Master again?" The wicked Xiangguo asked intentionally, "Or are you worried about Miss Ye again?"
Lin Chuqian stared at her in embarrassment, but she didn't expect her to make fun of her?
"It seems that your food is really good today." Lin Chuqian raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "I won't go to Shufang Zhai tomorrow, so as not to make you too full."
"Miss, I was wrong."
Xiangguo hurriedly confessed, walked over and held her hand and begged: "Miss, I have already eaten all the fruits, and now I only have these few pastries left in my arms. If I don't go to Shufangzhai to sell some tomorrow, I will buy them." There's nothing to eat."
"Why don't you have anything to eat?" Lin Chuqian said to her with a smile, "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare two more bowls of rice for you tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry, miss."
Xiangguo, who doesn't like to eat by nature, but only loves pastries and snacks, immediately boasted, and said pitifully, "Miss, you are so cruel."
"I can't help it. Miss you, I'm anxious right now, so I can't soften my heart."
"Miss, I was wrong." Xiangguo hugged her hand and begged, "Even if you don't do it for me, take it back for Madam's sake!"
Speaking of which, after Wei Ninglan was pregnant, she liked to eat the sweet and sour preserves from Shufangzhai. The house didn't have much in stock, so she should buy some for her own preparation.
Seeing Xiangguo's bitter haha, Lin Chuqian couldn't help teasing her.
"It's okay, I can ask the housekeeper to go for a trip."
"Ah, miss, don't treat me like this."
-
The next day.
After all, Lin Chuqian couldn't stand Xiangguo's ups and downs. Facing the drizzle, she went to Shufangzhai with her.
There are very few pedestrians on the road on rainy days, and the shops along the street are also deserted.
Lin's carriage arrived downstairs at Shufangzhai, and Xiangguo got off the carriage to line up for purchases. Lin Chuqian sat in the carriage, listening to the sound of raindrops.
After a while, Xiangguo, carrying the large and small bags, got back into the carriage excitedly, and found that his lady was in a daze with her head down, so she quickly raised her hand and shook it.
"Miss, everything has been bought."
Lin Chuqian came back to her senses and only nodded lightly.
"It's still early, do we have to look elsewhere?" Xiangguo asked.
Lin Chuqian shook her head and said, "Go home!"
Xiangguo puffed her cheeks, reluctantly told the coachman to go back home.
The carriage returned along the original road and slowly passed through the downtown area.
Lin Chuqian opened the curtain of the car slightly, and the rain, as fine as flying catkins, came against the wind, and she only had time to feel the slightly cold dampness.
It just so happened that at this time the carriage passed by the door of Tanglu, Lin Chuqian raised her eyes subconsciously, and couldn't help being taken aback.
By the window on the second floor of the soup stove, the crescent-colored robe was blown up by the wind, and the restless hairband was also blown indiscriminately.
He pursed his lips with a bit of forbearance, his elegant and handsome face was a little sad, his deep eyes were slightly sinking, he stood motionless by the window and let the oncoming rain wet his front, his eyes seemed to be here early waiting for her carriage to pass.
The two looked at each other from a distance, Lin Chuqian's mind went blank, and she didn't know what expression to show.
The carriage is still moving forward slowly. At first glance, it seems like ten thousand years, but in fact it is just a fleeting moment.
After the soup stove was abandoned, Lin Chuqian lowered the car curtain, only to find it difficult to breathe and her thoughts were confused.
Xiangguo took out the freshly bought fruit from Shufangzhai and ate it, when she looked up, she saw her young lady's sudden strange expression.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me?" Lin Chuqian was confused and didn't know how to describe her mood. "It's just that I suddenly feel distraught."
Xiangguo swallowed hard the food in her mouth, looked at her young lady and whispered, "I was like you when I first fell in love with Brother Gouzi."
"..." Lin Chuqian opened the corner of her mouth strangely. "Really? Why didn't I see that you were so upset?"
"Maybe it's because I hide it deeper."
