After Qi'er finished eating the pear paste and flower cakes that Yuzhu bought for her, she was a little greedy for Huifangzhai's snacks, but she was still frightened thinking about what happened last time and didn't dare to go out.
It's so dangerous to go out, so it's better to try your luck and see if you can sneak into Yi'anju to find what you want.
Qi'er sneaked around slowly, thinking that no one would notice what she was doing, but in fact, there was a pair of eyes that had been paying attention to her actions.
Both Yi'anju and Boyunxuan were so quiet that they couldn't even feel other people. Maybe there were many pairs of eyes watching these two places in the corner. After all, it was an important place, and Qi'er had no idea that Gongsun Yu would be told every time she appeared.
Qi'er was wandering around and unknowingly came to the hanging flower door outside Yi'an Juwai, hey! No one? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I secretly wanted to sneak in and take a look.
Qi'er walked along the veranda and passed through a large flower bed, but why was there no one in the courtyard? Qi'er was wondering when he saw Gongsun Yu not far away. He happened to see Gongsun Yu sitting in front of a pot of lotus in a daze with a book in his hand.
Qi'er knew the chance was gone when he saw Gongsun Yu, but it was a rare occasion, so he had to go and check out the terrain first.
This pot of lotus is very unique. It is made of fine jade. The jade is so crystal clear that you can even see the objects inside from the outside. There is also lace carved in gold on the tank, and a shelf made of sculptural stone piers is used under the tank. .
The tallest white and blue lotus in the center has just been opened by the lotus heart. It looks like a shy girl, swaying as the breeze blows, dancing gracefully. The few vermilion lotuses that have just surfaced below are close to the white lotus, and they are also swaying with the breeze, and the petals touch the water and make little ripples. The tacit understanding between them is like a beautiful dance, which makes people yearn for it.
Gongsun Yu quietly looked at the budding flowers and admired them quietly, with a very relaxed expression.
Qi'er had never seen a person looking at an object so fascinatedly, and his quiet body looked even more elegant.
Qi'er intentionally went over to say hello and said, "Young Master Yu, you actually like to look at flowers?"
Gongsun Yu looked back at her without saying anything, and handed the book in his hand to Luan Yue. Luan Yue carefully took the book and closed it, and then entered Yi'anju.
Qi'er saw that Luan Yue was so careful in her movements. Gongsun Mansion was not someone who couldn't afford books. What book made them so cautious? He turned his head and took a look curiously. It was actually in Sanskrit.
Qi'er seemed to have seen these words somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that they were written in Buddhist scriptures. He had no intention of talking about Buddha and didn't say much.
Qi'er saw that Gongsun Yu was looking at the few lotus plants in the pot obsessively just now, and he liked him and said: "The lotus is chaste and emerges from the mud without being stained. It is very beautiful." After saying this, he tried to make his throat feel uncomfortable, He coughed a few times and pinched his throat.
Qi'er's unintentional words gave Gongsun Yu an excellent attitude. She actually liked Lianhua too? As if he had found a friend, he saw that she coughed a few times before she finished speaking. Knowing that her throat was uncomfortable, he deliberately said to Luan Yue: "Where is the rock sugar loquat paste just now? Give Qi'er a bowl."
Luan Yue was stunned for a moment. Gongsun Yu didn't drink any rock sugar loquat ointment at all. After thinking about it, she realized that he must have wanted to give it to Qi'er, but he couldn't explain the reason, so he said that on purpose. Then he understood it and said, "Oh, I'll let my servants get it right now."
After hearing this, Qi'er said happily: "Hey, I'm sorry. I talk too much these days, and the people in Jingyi Pavilion just pestered me to tell them stories. The stories made my mouth dry and my throat sore. The first few people even I have snow pear paste to eat, and today I encountered loquat paste, I’m really lucky.”
Gongsun Yu saw that Qi'er seemed to be talking about the snow pear paste without thinking, and pretended not to know that she had been out before, so he pretended not to know and asked: "Is the snow pear paste delicious?"
Qi'er said without thinking: "It's delicious. The flower cakes there are also great, but I can't get them to eat now." After saying that, he suddenly saw those lotus plants and seemed to think of something.
Gongsun Yu saw that Qi'er didn't have any hidden meaning in what she said, and guessed that she didn't have much purpose, otherwise why she was talking so casually, and was secretly happy. Kan Qi'er looked at Lotus stupidly and asked, "Do you like Lotus too?"
Qi'er deliberately liked her and said: "The lotus symbolizes purity and elegance. Of course I like it."
Gongsun Yu never expected that someone would like lotus flowers as much as he did. He also expressed his true feelings, feeling very happy in his heart, and said coldly: "Yes, pure and elegant, emerging from the mud but not stained. What is clean is not the body, but the heart." After saying this, he looked at those few people with admiration. A lotus flower sways in the wind.
The maid came over with loquat paste, and Luan Yue handed it to Qi'er.
While eating, Qi'er said that the loquat paste was delicious, and her throat felt much better immediately. Seeing Gongsun Yu staring at the lotus plants, Qi'er whispered thoughtfully: "Loquat paste is comparable to snow pear paste. , can we find something to replace the flower cake? The flower cake is really delicious, I wonder if it is delicious made with lotus flowers." As he said this, he wanted to retreat.
Luan Yue saw that Qi'er was about to leave after eating, and asked, "Leaving now? You don't want to say thank you either?"
Qi'er pursed her lips and said to Gongsun Yu: "Master Yu, thank you for the delicious loquat ointment. I won't disturb you anymore. I plan to go out and buy some lotus flowers."
Gongsun Yu thought that she also loved lotus, so he said calmly: "This year's lotus bloomed two months later than before, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see them. There are no lotus flowers outside as good as the lotus flowers in Gongsun Mansion."
Qi'er was a little flattered and asked: "You are looking at them with such doting eyes. How can I be so embarrassed when you look at such a beautiful creature? Isn't this just a act of cruelty?"
Gongsun Yu thought he had finally found a close friend, so he said without hesitation: "The value is only if someone understands. You're welcome."
Qi'er said happily: "Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
Qi'er sat for a while and saw that Gongsun Yu was still looking at the lotus with such admiration. He couldn't pick it now, so he left and went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
Early the next morning, Gongsun Yu was practicing swordplay in Boyunxuan. Qi'er went to Gongsun Yu with carefully made snacks. Seeing Gongsun Yu wielding the sword freely, she wondered whether he was a weak scholar or a martial arts practitioner. Why do you usually look so slender?
Qi'er's contemptuous eyes naturally angered Gongsun Yu, who put down the sword in his hand and walked into Boyunxuan coldly.
Qi'er walked to the stand where Gongsun Yu had put his sword just now and said to himself: "A man with a slim waist still dances with a sword? This sword is as light as the one I use to draw things with a willow stick. The sword must be very light." After saying this, he wanted to pick it up. Try the sword.
Qi'er has always felt that Gongsun Yu is a weak scholar, and he has always been cold and cold, so she has always looked down on him. If it weren't for Nether Lotus, she wouldn't bother to talk to this cold wood.
Qi'er mentioned it gently and was extremely surprised. The sword seemed very heavy. She lifted it up with both hands in disbelief, but she couldn't stand upright in an instant.
Gongsun Yu asked: "What are you doing?"
Just as Qi'er was about to put the sword down, the sword fell down and hit her foot. She said "Ah!" in pain. In pain, I lay on the ground and covered my feet. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Oh my god! So heavy? It hurts me to death."
Gongsun Yu didn't know if she knew kung fu when she went to get the sword. He saw her covering her feet in pain on the ground. He didn't know whether it was true or not. He ignored her and entered Boyunxuan.
Qi'er angrily glared at him from behind and said angrily: "You really don't know what's good."
Luan Yue couldn't help laughing when she saw Qi'er's look, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Qi'er took a piece of snack and said: "I didn't want to come at first, but I used other people's raw materials, how could I not send a few pieces. It seems that I am not a person with good taste." He was about to leave.
Luan Yue knew the reason why Gongsun Yu favored Qi'er, so she quickly took the snacks and said: "Since they are all here, let's keep them." After that, she entered Boyunxuan.
Qi'er listened intently and didn't expect Gongsun Yu to say to Luan Yue: "Take it out."
Luan Yue had no choice but to take it out and look at Qi'er. Seeing her angry expression, she immediately said: "I'm hungry, just leave it here and I'll eat it." She picked up a piece and took a bite. Surprised: "Well, why are there petals in it? This way of eating is so fresh."
When Qi'er heard someone complimenting her, she put away her sour face and said, "This is a flower cake, usually made with roses or osmanthus. This time it's made with lotus flowers. Although the taste is lighter, it's still more delicious." of."
Luan Yue suddenly felt something bad. Qi'er hadn't gone out recently. Where did the lotus come from? Could it be that she sneaked into Yi'anju again last night? At that time, I only knew that she stopped at the door of Yi'anju and then left. I didn't pay much attention at that time. Was she picking lotus flowers?
Luan Yue asked worriedly: "Where did you get the lotus flowers?"
Qi'er said: "Of course they are the lotus plants in Yi'anju. The Gongsun Mansion is so big and there are not many suitable materials..."
Luan Yue's mouth suddenly froze while she was eating, and she exclaimed: "What? The lotus of Yi Anju?" The snack in her hand fell to the ground in disbelief.
Qi'er was so curious that before she understood what was going on, she saw Gongsun Yu angrily come out and question Qi'er, saying: "What did you just say? Are you making flower cakes out of the lotus flowers in Yi'anju?" After saying that, he looked at the ones that had already become snacks. The lotus cannot help but burn with anger.
Qi'er had never seen Gongsun Yu's cold and horrifying look before. He immediately took a step back behind Luan Yue and said, "Didn't you say that?"
Gongsun Yu angrily asked: "When did I tell you to use the lotus of Yi'anju?"
Seeing that Gongsun Yu was angry, Qi'er was baffled and said truthfully: "I said that day that I would go out and buy some lotus flowers. The lotus flowers from Gongsun Mansion you said are the best."
When Gongsun Yu heard this answer, he clenched his fists angrily, stared at Qi'er coldly for a while, and said angrily: "Get out."
Luan Yue knew that Qi'er had really gotten into trouble this time. Seeing that Qi'er was still trying to argue, Luan Yue immediately pulled her back and yelled at her: "Leave quickly." After that, she winked at Qi'er.
Qi'er knew that he seemed to have gotten into trouble. If he got into trouble for a few lotus flowers, it wouldn't be a big deal, right? But she was also confused. Seeing Gongsun Yu losing his temper, she hurriedly left.
