Crown Jewels

Chapter 186 Le Yi's Heartbreak

The breeze is mixed with apricot fragrance, and it is involved in the teahouse full of people.

Song Leyi sipped her tea, her sad eyes swept over Fu Sinian.

"Cousin Fu! You said you took me out to play, so this is it?"

The little girl's suspicious eyes were not concealed. Fu Sinian glanced at the noisy and simple teahouses around him, and coughed a little guilty, but after meeting Song Leyi's gaze, he said it as a matter of course.

"Sister Leyi, don't talk nonsense, this place is not remote. Nuo—"

Saying that, Fu Sinian raised his lips towards the door of the tea shop, using that solemn introduction to cover up the fact that he was shy.

"This is Yiningfang. When you leave the tea shop, turn left and you will find the famous and strict Dali Temple. This tea shop is said to be simple, but it has been here for more than a hundred years."

Seeing Song Leyi wrinkle her nose helplessly, Fu Sinian stroked the little girl's bun.

"Furthermore, I'm here to take you to relax. Seeing someone on the way, it's better than being bored in the house all day and being forced to practice piano by that cold-faced master?"

"That's right!" Probe looked outside the tea shop, there were people who changed their official uniforms and put on plainclothes one after another came out of the Dali Temple government office, Fu Sinian knocked on the edge of the table.

"Cousin, bring the few rare books you just picked up. Cousin Fu will send someone to congratulate him later!"

Speaking of Fu Sinian, he looked at Song Leyi with approval, and thought in his heart that the little girl's eyes are really vicious, and the wife who taught her in the family must be an expert. At such a young age, the cousin found two lonely books in that shabby bookstore to give to her. That person couldn't be more suitable.

Song Leyi curled her lips, but obediently put the book in her hand on the table, and only tilted her head to ask symbolically.

"Who does my cousin want to give it to, and what kind of happy event do you want to congratulate?"

In fact, Song Leyi was more interested in the happy event than who she was going to make an appointment with. The mother of the family had taught her to handle the banquet and set up banquets, so it sounded more familiar.

Fu Sinian grinned when he heard the words, with a playful tone in his tone.

"What else can it be? Naturally, it is to congratulate the wedding ceremony in the future, and the official fortune will be smooth!"

After saying this, Song Leyi didn't take it seriously, thinking that Fu Sinian was a colleague who had a good relationship with Jinyiwei, but after thinking about it, she felt wrong, Jinyiwei's neighborhood was a few miles away from Yiningfang.

Song Leyi blinked, and when she was in doubt, there was the sound of steady footsteps from the noisy teahouse, and she saw Qi Yuan who suddenly appeared at the door, dressed in a black official uniform.

The little girl was dumbfounded, she turned her head and tugged at Fu Sinian's cuff, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Cousin, are you happy in the bridal chamber? The official luck is smooth?"

Fu Sinian was slightly taken aback by the little girl's expression, but Qi Yuan was already in front of him, so he couldn't say more.

Qi Yuan didn't seem surprised when he saw Song Leyi following Fu Sinian, he took out an oiled paper bag from behind, and handed it to the little girl.

"The mung bean cake from Grandma Sun's next door is very refreshing, try it—"

After speaking, Qi Yuan called the waiter of the tea shop again, served Song Leyi a bowl of brown sugar ice powder, and then sat down firmly opposite Fu Sinian.

Song Leyi took the oiled paper bag numbly, but all the nerves in her body were tense, she listened to the conversation between Fu Sinian and Qi Yuan, as if she was on guard, she subconsciously reached out to the mung bean cake that Qi Yuan said, but she felt nervous Xixi was afraid of hearing something from Qi Yuan's mouth.

The guests of the tea shop chatted by their ears, and the rough throat accompanied by the forthright Lin'an emphasis made Song Leyi's ears ring loudly, and in a daze, he vaguely heard the laughter of Fu Sinian and Qi Yuan.

Then, Qi Yuan's clear and clear voice reached the auricles, and as a result, Fu Sinian handed over the ancient book, thanked him with a smile, and then took out an invitation card from his cuff and handed it back. Afterwards, only the familiar and laughing voice rang in Song Leyi's ears.

"Thank you! On the ninth day of May, I will hold a wedding banquet with Miss Jiang at the house I bought in Yiningfang. Don't forget to come and have a drink with Song Yan at that time."

Then, Fu Sinian's voice came faintly from his ear, as if asking him about his current official position, Qi Yuan seemed to say something else, but Song Leyi didn't hear clearly, but the four words "holding a wedding banquet" he said lightly, did not. Let Song Leyi's ears roar.

The mung bean cake that was originally held in his hand and half eaten in small bites suddenly slipped from his hand and fell on the skirt on his body, spreading out a pile of oil-soaked crumbs.

Song Leyi lowered her head and shook the hem of the skirt, debris scattered on the ground, but on the pink skirt, there were oil stains with threads.

Song Leyi didn't dare to raise her head, fearing that tears would fill her eyes. She held back her sour emotions and just lowered her head silently, burying her face in the bowl of brown sugar ice powder. It seems to have forgotten and just swallowed mechanically.

Perhaps the ice powder was a mouthful, but Song Leyi only felt that her throat was very astringent, and she couldn't spit out or swallow inarticulate emotions.

The mung bean crumbs scattered on the ground attracted groups of ants competing for it.

At the same time, Song Leyi's face seemed to be stained with something unclean, with a numb itching, she rubbed it lightly.

Fu Sinian's conversation and laughter continued, but Song Leyi felt a little restless, and the itchiness on his face seemed to spread.Qi Yuan, who was chatting and laughing with Fu Sinian, looked at Song Leyi, who was sitting on a small stool with her slender back straight, as usual, her hands holding tea and water paused slightly, her expression a bit solemn.

I saw that the little girl who was originally fine, with a white and tender face that had not faded from the baby fat, now had red spots on the cloth, Song Leyi seemed to feel a little itchy, she kept reaching out to rub the red spots on her face, her movements became more and more urgent, her slightly drooping eyes His almond eyes were already wet at this moment.

"Yueyi—"

Qi Yuan got up in a hurry, and grabbed Song Leyi's arm to prevent her from rubbing her cheeks lightly, and her eyes fell on the empty bowls and plates of brown sugar ice powder.

Song Leyi only felt a little dizzy in her mind, and the last scene when she became conscious was Qi Yuan's serious face, his peach blossom eyes were far less bright than usual, and he was looking at her with worry.

Vaguely, Cousin Fu's annoyed and anxious voice, and Qi Yuan's clear and slightly sinking voice could be heard next to his ears.

"It's broken! There's lotus root powder added to this rock sugar and ice powder. Sister Leyi will get a rash if she eats this stuff."

"There is a medical clinic next to it, let's go first..."

In Changchun Hall, the slightly bitter medicinal fragrance wafts everywhere.

On the bed, there were some dim candles, which dimmed the little girl's face.

The old doctor sitting in the hall rubbed and pressed the acupuncture points on Song Leyi's forehead and wrist for half an hour, then took out the plaster from the medicine box, and carefully applied it on the red spots on the little girl's tender face without letting it go anywhere.

After finishing his busy work, he glanced at Fu Sinian who was pacing around, and his tone was a bit hostile.

"Stop wandering around the house. Go out first and buy the girl a bowl of white porridge to nourish her stomach. Smell the lotus root powder. When you come back, she should be able to wake up."

After saying this, Fu Sinian subconsciously disagreed, how dare he leave Sister Lemei here alone, what happened today was his own negligence, and he even forgot to tell the waiter not to put lotus root powder in any food.

Driven by a sense of guilt, Fu Sinian subconsciously looked at Qi Yuan who was guarding in front of the couch, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious, that is, the two of them switched positions, and Qi Yuan went out to buy porridge, while he stayed here by himself.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan never refused, but when Fu Sinian was delighted, he pointed at the skirt of his clothes.

Fu Sinian followed the trend and saw a corner of Qi Yuan's official robe being held by Song Leyi.
