Chapter 192 The beginning of love
The two little girls were discussing, saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.
A little maid on duty in the front yard was out of breath and said, "Report to the County Lord, Prince Chu is here. He is greeting the old lady. He will come this way in a moment."
"Crown Prince Chu?" Liao Fangyi jumped up in surprise and hurriedly pulled Xia Zihan, "Sister Chu Yu, let's go and greet Prince Chu."
He looked impatient.
Xia Zihan had just reached her shoes and had not put them on before she was pulled out of the door in a hurry. As soon as she ran a short distance, she saw Chu Jingqi, who had just entered the courtyard and was wearing a black fox fur cloak, heading this way.
After seeing her, his handsome face suddenly turned cold. He took a few steps and took off his black fox fur as he walked.
Walking up to her, without waiting for them to say hello, he said with a cold face and angrily, "What are you doing in a hurry? Why don't you even wear a cloak? What should you do if you catch a cold in such a cold wind?" .”
His tone was very angry, but his movements were gentle and delicate. He put the black fox fur on her shoulders distressedly, tied the belt, and wrapped her up completely.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that she still had her shoes on, and her face became even colder. "You dare to run out without even putting on your shoes. Do you want to get sick?"
He knelt down to help her put on her shoes and tie them up, then without caring about anything else, he picked her up and strode towards the house.
As for the stunned Liao Fangyi, he could not see her from the beginning to the end and ignored her completely.
After entering the room, he put Xia Zihan on the hot bed, took the blanket on the side and covered her, and said angrily, "What are your maids doing? Why did you just go out like that? There was no maid to remind you." , your face is as cold as ice, and your hands are as cold as ice. Are you a fool? You don’t even know how cold it is.”
He rubbed her hands desperately in distress and scolded her angrily.
The silk grass and vanilla on the side are unfair.
When Xia Zihan was dragged out by Liao Fangyi, they were sorting out their clothes and jewelry because the master said that he would give Miss Liao two pieces of clothes and jewelry that she had never worn before, so that Miss Liao could choose them herself. Take it out.
After the master ran out, they hugged the big cloak and chased after him in time, but... before they could catch up, Prince Chu came.
Seeing his cold expression, cold tone, and even cold eyes, you knew that he was very angry.
Xia Zihan turned her fingers and gently held his hand. With a smile in her eyes, she coaxed in a soft voice, "Okay, don't scold everyone. I'm in a hurry to greet you."
There was even a hint of coquettishness in her tone that she didn't even notice.
His face softened a little, and his eyes softened for a moment, but he still couldn't help but lectured, "Then you can't run out without wearing a cloak and shoes. The temperature has dropped a lot in the past few days. It's just a day." What should you do if you get cold during the coldest time of the year? ”
The coldest time in Beijing is not the twelfth lunar month, but the first half of the first lunar month, which is the first half of the year.
If there was a thermometer in Dasheng Dynasty, it would be minus 30 degrees. Xia Zihan only wore a thin cotton-padded jacket that he wore indoors and rushed out. Although he only ran for seven or eight minutes, his whole body was already frozen. His whole body was cold and his face was pale. No wonder Chu Jingqi was so angry.
"I'm not doing well," she said with an apologetic smile.
"How dare you talk back." He glared at her, "Don't do this again in the future."
"I know, I know." Xia Zihan nodded seriously, "By the way, where is Liao Fangyi. Why didn't she come in?"
"Who?"
Chu Jingqi was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember that his Ayu seemed to be dragged away by a girl just now. His face that had just calmed down became cold again, and he glared at her angrily, "You still have time to care about others, you should care about yourself first. , look, your feet are frozen, how long have you been outside?"
After rubbing her hands to warm them, he went to rub her feet.
Liao Fangyi walked in and saw this scene.
The handsome and handsome Prince Chu hugged Xia Zihan's cold feet in his arms, held them in his hands, and rubbed them repeatedly.
Xia Zihan leaned on the big pillow, looked at him with a smile, and spoke softly, "I haven't been out for long, only half a cup of tea."
Then she said coquettishly, "Don't I want to see you earlier." However, the person she was thinking about was not her, but Liao Fangyi.
Of course, she wouldn't explain it stupidly, otherwise this bastard wouldn't be able to stay angry and he might scold her all afternoon.
When Prince Chu heard this, his cold expression turned out much better. His eyes were full of tenderness and joy that was about to overflow. "If you like it, I will come here often in the future."
You come here often enough, don't you plan to stay at her place?
Xia Zihan pursed her lips, not daring to tell the truth.
From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Liao Fangyi who was standing by the door. She hurriedly waved to her, "Come here quickly. You didn't wear a big cloak when you went out. You must be cold too. Come on, warm up on the hot kang and dispel some of the cold air."
"Sister Chu Yu." Liao Fangyi walked over slowly, glanced at Chu Jingqi with her little eyes, her face was red, and she said with a touch of shyness, "I'm not cold." She was very afraid of the cold when she first arrived in the capital, but she often didn't feel cold at home. She put on the big cloak and ran out to play. Because she was clumsy in the big cloak and couldn't play as much as she wanted, she had gradually gotten used to the weather here and was no longer afraid of the cold.
But she forgot that Sister Chuyu was afraid of the cold.
It's all her fault. In a moment of anxiety, she dragged Sister Chu Yu and ran out like that.
"I'm sorry, Sister Chu Yu, if I hadn't been too anxious, you wouldn't have been cold." Liao Fangyi apologized guiltily.
Xia Zihan smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine. Look, I'm fine now."
But Chu Jingqi was worried and said, "I think it's better to ask Doctor Bai to prescribe you a medicinal soup to dispel the cold."
This silly girl, even after rubbing her feet for so long, her feet are still cold, yet she still dares to say that she's fine.
Xia Zihan pouted and didn't dare to speak again.
Liao Fangyi stood aside, looking at Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan. Suddenly, she felt as if she was redundant, and deep down in her heart, there seemed to be a faint sense of loss.
Why did she feel a tightness in her heart when she saw Prince Chu staring at Sister Chu Yu with intense eyes?
She was still feeling sour in her heart. Could it be that she had a bad stomach again?
Liao Fangyi thought dullly.
During lunch, Liao Fangyi saw Chu Jingqi constantly picking up food for Xia Zihan, and this feeling became even stronger. However, being young and careless, she couldn't figure out what this feeling was.
It wasn't until many years later that she understood that when he was so tender towards Chu Yu, she was moved by the love and affection in his eyes.
The heart of spring is budding, and love is beginning to bloom.
It's a pity that that person only has her sister Chu Yu in his eyes, but never her.
When Chu Jingqi left, she pestered Xia Zihan to make spring clothes for him, "I have told my mother that when the house makes spring clothes, you don't have to make them for me. If you don't make them for me, I won't have anything to wear."
He remembered clearly that she promised to make clothes for him, so all his future clothes would be handed over to her.
"I know." Xia Zihan nodded in agreement, fearing that he would pester her.
When Chu Jingqi left, the corners of her mouth reached behind her ears with joy.
The next day, Ma Bao sent over a dozen pieces of cloth, including white cotton silk for linings, silk and satin for single coats, brocade for outer robes, and even a piece of ice silk for summer clothes.
Xia Zihan opened her mouth in astonishment and glared at Ma Bao, who was bringing the cloth back and forth. He was furious, "You sent so much cloth so that I don't have to do anything for a year and just make clothes for that bastard."
Bastard?
In the entire capital, I am afraid that only County Master Chu Yu dares to say this about the prince.
The corner of Ma Bao's mouth twitched, but he smiled flatteringly, "The prince said that the county master will help make his clothes from now on, so I just asked the slave to send more at once, and let the county master watch and make them when he is free. .”
"The prince also told his servants to tell the county master that they must not stay up late sewing clothes, or they may hurt their eyes." Otherwise, the prince will feel distressed.
The last words were held in Ma Bao's mouth without being spoken.
"Forget it, forget it." The cloths were all delivered, but she couldn't let Ma Bao put them back again. She told Chu Cong and Chu Lin, "Pack a layer in the elm red lacquered three-unit wardrobe and put these cloths away temporarily. Leave it there.”
While Chu Cong and Chu Lin were packing up the wardrobe, Xia Zihan ordered Ma Bao to put the cloth at the end of the kang. After moving the cloth, he ordered Chu Hao to take Ma Bao to the tea room to rest before going back.
Before Ma Bao left, he came to return Xia Zihan's gift. Xia Zihan said, "Let me tell you, the prince, that there is no need to send cloth in the future. The Chu family's warehouse does not lack the pieces of cloth for his clothes."
< br>
"Yes, yes, I will definitely bring you the words." Ma Bao nodded and bowed again before leaving with a smile.
After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, no relatives came to the Chu family, and the home returned to its usual deserted state. Xia Zihan went to Old Man Bai's to make pills in the morning, had dinner with Zeng at noon, and spared two hours in the afternoon to make clothes for Chu Jingqi. .
Because the weather was too cold, Xia Zihan didn't go out to practice kung fu anymore. He only sat on the kang for half an hour before going to bed to practice internal skills and mental techniques.
It was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that the weather gradually warmed up, and Xia Zihan also resumed the habit of practicing in the morning.
On the fifteenth day, Chu Jingqi came to the Chu family early and wanted to take Xia Zihan to the street to watch the lanterns and play.
"You must be careful. During the Lantern Festival every year, a lot of children and little girls are lost in the capital... It's better to ask He Donglin to bring more guards to protect him, and Nuanyu and the other girls are with him. "There are so many people around, even the kidnappers don't dare to do anything," Ms. Zeng warned carefully.
Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan both have good looks, one is cute and pretty, the other is delicate and handsome. How eye-catching these two little people are when they go to the lantern festival.
If she were a kidnapper, she would definitely keep an eye on this pair of lovely people.
