Chapter 17 Walking for the Top
She immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief, as if she was going to cough out her lungs, and coughed loudly and vigorously, spitting all the tea she had not swallowed on the handkerchief.
"Miss, is there something wrong with you?" Mama Yao hurriedly patted her on the back.
Xue Jinyi wiped her mouth with the handkerchief handed by Mama Yao, stroked her chest, and said, "Maybe I was so scared that I was stuck in my throat just now." I'm fine, let's go back. ”
Mama Yao carefully held her arm, "Miss, don't hold on if you are uncomfortable, it will be more comfortable to walk by me." ”
"Okay." Xue Jinyi leaned on Mama Yao, slowly returned to the crowd, and lined up to get on the painting boat.
Fang Junhui took half a step slower, looked at Xue Jinyi leaning on her grandmother's body delicately, no matter how Zhao whispered beside her, she was unmoved, and she didn't talk to Xue Jinyi.
Restoring tranquility on the shore of Changchun Lake, visitors gradually have a good mood to enjoy the scenery again. The bright sunlight fell on the surface of the lake, shimmering and reflected in his eyes, just as his mind turned a thousand times.
On the way back, the four of them took the same painting boat, and when they were about to return to the north pier, Fang Junhui spoke again.
"I was going to swim in Changchun Lake with Miss Xue, but God didn't fulfill people's wishes." He spoke slowly, as if he was pondering something, "I wonder if Miss Xue is willing to appreciate her face tomorrow, let's swim together in Changchun Lake again to make up for today's regrets?" ”
Xue Jinyi looked at Mama Yao, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said embarrassedly: "I went out for two days in a row, I am afraid that the elders in the family will have opinions." ”
Zhao thought she was being shy, and said, "There is an old lady arrangement, don't worry." ”
Xue Jinyi smiled and did not speak.
Zhao said: "To be honest, I see that the two of you are a good match, and besides, you are related to each other, if a good thing comes true, it is a good thing to be close to each other." ”
She knew that Miss Xue was anxious to get married so as to get rid of the tragic experience of being killed by the King of Chu, so she didn't speak too roundabout, hoping that Miss Xue would make up her mind as soon as possible.
Xue Jinyi sighed in her heart, the Zhao family is the nephew and daughter-in-law of Old Madam Xue, she is not good at saying ugly things, but that Fang Junhui is weird, and to her is no different from a stranger, asking her to marry like this, there is always resistance.
Mama Yao looked at Xue Jinyi's face and said, "It's all up to the old lady to decide this matter, our young lady is embarrassed." ”
Zhao covered his mouth and laughed, "I hope we can form a good alliance with Qin and Jin." She glanced at Fang Junhui again.
Fang Junhui arched his hand to Xue Jinyi politely, and the corners of his mouth raised a gentle arc.
Mama Yao smiled and nodded, which can be regarded as responding on behalf of Xue Jinyi.
When the painting boat landed, Xue Jinyi quickly glanced at Fang Junhui, this time when he stretched out his hand to her on the shore, she nodded with a smile and raised her hand in his palm, but there was a handkerchief between their hands.
It's a little disgusting to say, it's the handkerchief that she spit out the tea just now, after all, a dry handkerchief can't wipe anything.
Fang Junhui didn't seem to notice this, and carefully took her ashore.
Before Xue Jinyi let go, she pinched Fang Junhui's fingers with both light and heavy hands.
"Huh?" Fang Junhui noticed it and looked at Xue Jinyi's face in puzzlement.
Although it was a very ordinary-looking face, her eyes were fluttering, and the cherry was small. The lips are slightly hooked, revealing a shy smile, but it is also charming, which makes people's hearts move.
"......" Fang Junhui felt that something was wrong, and secretly twisted his thigh, sobered up, and when his eyes were clearly fixed on Xue Jinyi's face, he was already in a calm mood, "Miss Xue, do you need me to send you back?" ”
Xue Jinyi said: "I still have some things to do with my grandmother, so I don't want to trouble Fang Gongzi." ”
Fang Junhui didn't force it, only sent Xue Jinyi back to the teahouse and watched her board the carriage.
"I look forward to seeing Miss Xue again." He said.
Xue Jinyi nodded, did not speak, and Mama Yao put down the curtain.
The carriage left the teahouse and returned to the Weiguo Mansion.
There were no outsiders, and Mama Yao asked with great interest, "Miss, what do you think of Fang Gongzi?" ”
Xue Jinyi sighed, startling Mama Yao, "I think the marriage is too hasty, and the other party's son knows everyone but doesn't know his heart, and he feels very scared." ”
Mama Yao also felt sour in her heart, and scolded: "If it weren't for Madame's selfishness, how could you be pushed into the fire pit?" Madame has hurt you so many times, when will you be the head! ”
Xue Jinyi looked at Mama Yao, she only scolded Mrs. Xue, but she didn't care about Fang Gongzi, a stranger, sighed faintly in her heart, and carefully unfolded the handkerchief that wiped Fang Junhui's hand on her thigh.
The carriage was dimly lit, and she opened her eyes wide and looked carefully again and again, and finally found a tiny black powder.
Go to buy lotus leaf tea, why is there so much black powder in the nails of the good end? Looking at his clean clothes, it doesn't look like he fell.
She recalled Fang Junhui's strange appearance several times, and said to Mama Yao: "Is there a trustworthy doctor nearby?" ”
"Is there something wrong with Miss?" Mama Yao asked nervously.
"No," Xue Jinyi shook her head, "I just wanted to buy something." ”
Mama Yao breathed a sigh of relief and told the coachman to go to the hospital.
Xue Jinyi slowly folded the handkerchief, for fear that the only bit of powder she had would be bumped off by the carriage.
When she arrived at the medical hall, Xue Jinyi put on her hat again, walked into the medical hall with Mama Yao, and found the most senior doctor.
She spread out the veil directly in front of the doctor and asked, "Someone in my family has mistakenly ingested this black powder, and now people seem to be a little wrong, may I ask if the doctor knows this thing?" ”
The doctor picked up the handkerchief, looked at it first, and then put it under his nose to sniff.
"There is a smell of lotus leaf tea on it." He said unhurriedly: "It's still the lotus leaf tea sold by the old man by Changchun Lake." ”
Xue Jinyi was a little worried, "Did the taste of lotus leaf tea overshadow the powder?" ”
The doctor waved his hand, closed his eyes and continued to sniff.
Xue Jinyi pursed her lips, not daring to disturb her.
Mama Yao didn't know what to do, and asked softly, "Miss, where did you get that powder?" What's going on? ”
"Shhhhh ”
Seeing this, Mama Yao quickly covered her mouth, her eyes were confused, she looked at the young lady and then at the doctor, and she didn't guess what the young lady was doing for a long time.
After about a stick of incense, the doctor opened his eyes and looked at Xue Jinyi's eyes with seriousness, "Dare to ask where did Miss get this?" ”
Xue Jinyi looked at the doctor's expression and said to Mama Yao: "This thing was obtained from Fang Junhui and Fang Gongzi. Mama, you must listen carefully to what the doctor has to say. ”
