Xu Mingwei followed behind her and slowly climbed the steps. After turning around two walkways, she saw the skinny figure that was not in the group of flowers from afar. Just as she was about to go closer, that person suddenly turned around. Her face was stunned for a moment, and then from her heart to her eyes, she revealed a smile that was like a flower.
"How can you be free to come? Did you eat breakfast? "
For a moment, he saw nothing behind her, not even a servant. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Where are the girls by your side?" How could I let you come out alone? "
Xu Mingwei could not help but laugh, "You're a talented person, and yet you dare to ask such a bunch of questions, just which sentence of yours should I reply first? When I came here, I met Jing Xuan. I said that I was going to fetch breakfast, so Jing Yi brought me in. I was so upset that I didn't want to bring anyone with me, so I just happened to be walking around randomly. I didn't know if you were up yet, so I came to try my luck. You've already eaten breakfast a long time ago. Even if you want to invite him now, it would be a waste if you go a little lower, but it won't do if you go more. "
When Lian Qiu Bai came closer, she could see a hint of fatigue in Xu Mingwei's eyes. At night, she also heard some sounds and asked curiously, "Did it cause the night? "No matter how I look at you, your mental state is not good."
Xu Mingwei shook his head: "I will tell you in detail after you eat breakfast, if not it will ruin your appetite, I am afraid even you girls will not forgive me."
Jing Yi and the others started to laugh. Lian Qiubai looked at her with a smile and said, "It's strange that you would keep me in suspense. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. See if you can beg me later."
The maidservants laughed even louder, their laughter spreading outside. It attracted the attention of the maidservants who were guarding the garden, causing them to peek in with curiosity. It was a lively early in the morning.
Jing Xuan then brought the little girls from the kitchen back, and upon hearing the laughter, she came over, "Grandmother, look, this servant is not lying to you. When our young lady saw you, she looked like a honey bee, her laughter was two catties more than usual. "
Hearing that, Lian Qiu Bai wanted to chase up to Jing Xuan and beat him up.
Jing Xuan didn't dare to actually chase after her. After jogging a few steps, she was caught by Lian Qiu Bai. She couldn't help but ask for mercy while smiling.
Lian Qiubai was also full of smiles as he said, "What's the matter? You made the main house out of love for someone with a bad mouth like you. It's yours."
Jing Yi was afraid that she was going to perspire again, so she stepped forward and advised, "You also know Sister Xuan's temper. You only have this mouth, but you don't care about what she says. You just left the guests to the side." "Why don't we all go to the parlour together and sit and talk? Beautiful only with a view and a cup of tea."
Lian Qiubai nodded in agreement. The group of people moved to the parlour again. Although it was a warm spring day, the seats were all covered with wool cushions. Xu Mingwei was surprised and could not help but take a few more glances.
"The wool mat is warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but it also looks scary. It doesn't feel hot just sitting there."
Xu Mingwei hurriedly retracted her expression, regretting in her heart. If he had known earlier that her mind was meticulous, he would not have revealed such obvious surprise. It was rare for her body to be weak like this, so she didn't walk away from the extreme. The more she respected and respected her open-minded personality.
Lian Qiubai's appetite was not big, he only ate a small bowl of porridge and then said he was full. Xu Mingwei saw that her girls looked like they were used to seeing such things, and couldn't help but say, "How can we control this small bowl of food, we should use it more for our bodies."
Jing Xuan laughed, "You might not know this, but this lady has seven meals a day, so there's no harm in using less. It was originally a prescription given by the palace's doctor. He said that he needed to eat less and eat more in order to be able to take care of his stomach and spleen. "
Xu Mingwei nodded her head and said, "So that's how it is, it is still a way to keep herself alive."
Lian Qiubai used the handkerchief to wash his hands and lightly smiled. "With my sandy body, it's really hard to ask for medicine for my aunt and cousin, year after year. I also want to show a little bit of improvement and can't fail to live up to my aunt and cousin's good intentions, so as to not make them feel uncomfortable in their hearts. "
Xu Mingwei nodded, "It's good that you can think like this."
Lian Qiubai said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. You always have something to worry about when you come to my yard early in the morning." You've seen my body, but I can't help you if you try your best.
Xu Mingwei looked at Jing Xuan and the others, and the latter understood, and laughed, "Young lady, why don't you bring Grandmother to your study room? A few days ago, didn't you receive some fresh books, so that Grandmother could take a look?
Lian Qiu Bai thought that the study room was a quiet place, and took Xu Mingwei there. Entering the door, he saw the calligraphy and paintings on the table that he did not have the time to put away. He regretted it profusely and wanted to put them away, but Xu Mingwei had already seen it.
"Who did this? It does look a little familiar." There were only a few strokes, and they were filled with a boundless atmosphere. Xu Mingwei could not recall where she had seen such a familiar brush strokes before. Turning around, he saw that Lian Qiubai's cheeks were flushed red, which was even more alluring than the rouge she had just dyed.
Her two branches suddenly opened up.
"So it turns out that you were unwilling to accept the marriage your mother-in-law had arranged for you. It was for his sake." Xu Mingwei sighed.
When Lian Qiubai heard that she had understood his intentions, his expression changed once again. He said very rarely, "It's not all for his sake …"
But he gave a sad smile and said faintly, "Marriage is a good thing to have two surnames. With my physique, when I go to someone else's house, will I be making a feud or making a feud? If it's something that is completely hopeless, then there's no need to drag others down. "
Xu Mingwei heard and advised, "Look at you saying such depressing words, you are not at the end of the line, how did you become the enemy of others? Furthermore, I see that Qin Jianrui is not a stubborn person, if you don't make people ask, how would they know that he is not willing? In this world, it seemed like a long time, like summer flowers or morning dew, it was only a day and a night. If he didn't blossom once, how could he say that he had been in the mortal world for a lifetime? But whether I am willing or not, it is better to ask before I die. "
After a long while, he said, "I know that you are doing this for my own good. I have been holding back my worries for a long time, so to be able to tell you about it now is also a matter of great happiness. But for my aunt, I still need to think about it. "
Xu Mingwei still wanted to advise her otherwise, but Lian Qiu Bai stopped her, saying, "It's not like I can't get rid of this face. Qin Jianrui seems to be older than my cousin by a year or two, and my cousin has been waiting for you for all these years, and I have often wondered, who has he been waiting for all these years for? "
"If he was waiting for someone else on purpose, why would I bother to be that evil person and stop his courtship?"
Xu Mingwei could not help but sneer, "So you are also a brain-dead person. Do you think that your aunt is the Queen Mother? Who did you say would marry you? Whether it would work or not, she could not take advantage of her with a single question. He naturally didn't want to. Could she really force her to marry him? "What an adorable fool!"
Lian Qiubai was so embarrassed by her laughter that he couldn't help but change the topic, "Originally I wanted to talk about your matter, why did you start talking about me again?" "You can't do that. You should just be honest and tell me exactly what happened to the person who caused so much trouble yesterday."
"However, it's not that I'm not willing to tell you, it's just that I'm afraid of scaring you with my words." Xu Mingwei saw that her eyes were flickering, and continued, "You must listen, then I'll let you know. Yesterday night, I slept until midnight. The snowball woke me up, and only then did it know that a snake had entered the house. Fortunately, he found out about it in time and let all the girls in the room deal with him.
Lian Qiubai said in a deep voice, "Everything is fine, where's the snake coming from? Someone must have done something in the dark. Are the concubines in my cousin's room honest? "
Xu Mingwei laughed and shook his head, "You haven't married anyone, yet you don't even know how to blush when you talk about this. Your aunt has already taken care of this matter, so you don't have to worry about me. "
Lian Qiubai's reaction was very fast as he asked, "If that's the case, then what are you worrying about?"
Xu Mingwei was startled by her question and mumbled, "You're right, I shouldn't have worried."
These words were ambiguous, but Lian Qiu Bai was even more suspicious. He heard Jing Xuan shouting from afar, and then he heard some footsteps running away.
Xu Mingwei immediately went out of the study room to take a look, but she was already nowhere to be seen, only then Jing Xuan ran over while panting heavily, and asked: "Young miss, you're really something, you're already in front, why aren't you coming in?"
Lian Qiubai also came out at this moment, and said with a serious face, "Did you see clearly that the First Miss just came over?"
Jing Xuan was somewhat confused by the question. After thinking for a moment, she said with certainty, "It should be correct. Although the servant saw it from a corridor, she saw it very carefully. Her figure and dress were very similar to that of a young lady. Why is it that even after standing outside for quite a while, the young lady refused to come in? Just as she was about to walk in and speak to her, she turned around and ran off in fright. "How strange …"
Xu Mingwei shook her head at Lian Qiu Bai and laughed, "Sister Ning Hui's dirty temper, I don't know if she originally wanted to jump in and scare us a little, but you brat, I think I'll disturb him."
On the other hand, Lian Qiu Bai looked to be deep in thought. How much had she heard of her conversation with Xu Mingwei just now? And why had she listened furtively to the wall and refused to show herself? If he accidentally bumped into them, saying that they were having an intimate relationship with a girl and felt embarrassed to enter the room, wouldn't she have to avoid it? So what was she trying to eavesdrop on?
