Chapter 76 Gifts
Opening the lid of the box, a gust of cold air rushed towards the face, filled with white mist, and the neatly packed red fruits in the box, Xiaodong had never seen before.

She took one out and looked around.The fruit has a honey-like ripe fragrance, which is mouth-watering.

"what is this?"

Mrs. Hu picked up one to have a look, and then smelled the fragrance: "It smells really good. I've never seen this kind of fruit before. Most likely, Young Master Qin brought it from his hometown."

Xiaodong smiled: "It's a bit like a bodhi fruit."

"It's true, but the bodhi fruit is not that big." Hu said, "Master Qin told me that this fruit is not harmful to the heat-relieving soup we ate just now, and it doesn't hurt to eat more."

Xiaodong took a bite, only to find it crunchy, sweet and juicy, full of fragrance.

"Is it tasty?"

"Well, Mama Hu will try it too."

Hu shook his head and said, "I just drank more soup, put this away and eat slowly."

Xiaodong didn't eat anything for dinner, it's rare that she likes this fruit, and Mrs. Hu didn't want to taste any of it. Hong Fu said, "Mother Hu, I'm afraid this will be put in the ice cellar."

Xiaodong's Hong Ling and Hong Ying were both married last year, and now the four new ones are also named according to their original names, and Hong Fu is considered the most secure of the four.

"Is this fruit given to me alone, or are there both father and brother?"

Mrs. Hu didn't know either, Hong Fu said, "It's easy, I'll ask someone to ask."

She called a little maid to inquire, and when she came back, she said: "Only we have it here, the prince's courtyard said there is no such thing, and the prince hasn't come back yet."

"Then share three copies, one for father and one for elder brother."

Counting, there are a total of 24 fruits, divided into three parts, but exactly one part is eight.

"The princess, lie down and rest for a while, carefully and dizzy."

Xiaodong lay down, but did not let go while tugging on Hu's sleeve: "Mother Hu, don't go."

"Don't go," Hu smiled and sat on the side of the bed with a fan, and fanned her for a while: "Today is the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu, and there are many people who are polite, so go to bed quickly."

"Hmm..." Xiaodong squinted his eyes: "The fifth princess gave me a very precious bottle of Jade Guanyin..."

To be honest, Xiaodong was a little puzzled.

Concubine Ming is a very cautious person, she acts low-key and never does anything eye-catching.Why did you temporarily change the birthday ceremony this time?
"I also saw Qin Nv. She sang the Taiping Changsheng tune very nicely. After two days when my father is free, I asked her to come home and sing again. I heard that she brought out a junior sister who also has a good voice."

Mrs. Hu replied: "I've also heard that she is ranked fourth, and everyone calls her fourth girl. It is said that she is no worse than Miss Qin."

The people in Jiaofang are also young people who entered the industry at the age of seven or eight, and then began to decline after twenty, with only three to five years of really good days in between.When you get old, you can either redeem yourself, or stay in the workshop as a teacher...

Xiaodong was a little drowsy, listening to Zhao Lu asking outside: "Is my sister asleep? Are you feeling better?"

Xiaodong tilted her head and looked out, the outside room was brighter than the inner room, through the gauze screen, Xiaodong saw Zhao Lu wearing a light moon white bamboo robe, followed by Qin Lie.

"I'm awake, brother, come in."

Mrs. Hu hooked up the tent, Xiaodong saw that the single clothes on her body were not messed up, and Qin Lie was not considered an outsider, so there was no need to change another clothes.

"Brother, have you been drinking?"

"It's been a long time to meet again, I'm happy, so I drank a little."

No wonder the two of them smelled of alcohol when they came in.

Now Xiaodong can wake up and look at Qin Lie carefully.

Standing together with him, Zhao Lu looked more and more like a tree facing the wind—it's just that the tree was a little thinner and a little shorter.The young man is full of vigor, Qin Lie's hair and eyebrows used to be black and dense, but now they look even more rigid. The eyebrows are like two marks drawn with force by a pen dipped in thick ink, heroic and three-dimensional.

Qin Lie's appearance didn't look like an authentic Central Plains person either.He, as well as Yao Jinfeng, had the shadow of a foreigner in his facial features, with deep eyebrows and clear outlines.Standing next to them, the average person will be compared. Their faces are as flat as a dough cake and lack color.

Xiaodong compared Qin Lie's current appearance with the original him in his impression, the original blurry and faded image gradually became clear and vivid, and he felt both familiar and strange in his heart.

After a few years of separation, everyone has grown up and... changed.

Zhao Lu tested the temperature of Xiaodong's forehead, and then carefully looked at her face, and after confirming that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that you didn't eat much for dinner, did you drink the summer heat soup?"

Mrs. Hu said: "I've finished the soup. The Princess Master Qin tasted the fruit sent by someone, and said it was delicious."

"Well, thank you brother Qin, what kind of fruit is that?"

Qin Lie smiled slightly: "Sister Xiaodong, do you still remember when you were a child, that winter we built snow horses and painted flowers on snow plates?"

"Remember," the flower is very beautiful and has a special shape. Xiaodong was very impressed: "It's the red phoenix flower in your hometown, isn't it?"

Qin Lie nodded: "This is the fruit of the red phoenix flower. It's just that the fruit can only be kept for a day if it is picked from the branch, and it will rot if it is delayed."

"Ah, it's a long way from Suizhou to here." It's not easy to transport these fruits properly.

Xiaodong suddenly thought of "a concubine riding a red dust laughs, no one knows it's a litchi", and black lines immediately covered her face.

Ahem, I think too much.She is not Concubine Yang, and it is even more impossible for Qin Lie to be Tang Minghuang.

Xiaodong wanted to ask Qin Lie countless questions, why did he leave without saying goodbye?Where did you go after leaving the capital?How did he live these years?When did you return to the capital again?What is he doing now, is he still studying?and also……

The situation of Yao Jinfeng.

Xiaodong instinctively believed that Qin Lie must know about Yao Jinfeng's situation.

Their hometowns can be regarded as being in the same place, they came to the capital together and left together.

Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, Mrs. Hu retreated knowingly.

Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Brother Qin, do you know... How is Sister Jinfeng doing now?"

Qin Lie and Zhao Lu exchanged glances: "She's fine now, she's going to get married soon."

"Really?" Xiaodong raised her voice and quickly covered her mouth.

A big stone that had been in his heart for many years was finally removed. Xiaodong was happy and sad at the same time, filled with emotions for a while.

No, you can't cry anymore.

She quickly cheered up: "That's good, where is she... Who is she going to marry?"

Qin Lie didn't hide anything, and said it directly.

He did leave the capital with Yao Jinfeng back then and returned to Suizhou. Yao Jinfeng did not return to Yao's house, nor did he return to Red Sandalwood Mountain, but went to Dongquan, Qin Lie's hometown.

"She and my mother are very right-tempered. They are as close as a mother and daughter. They often dismiss me as an outsider." Qin Lie talked about his being neglected, but his expression was calm and calm, without the slightest complaint of being "abandoned". : "The people of Dongquan are simple and honest, with beautiful mountains and rivers. You can go there to see her if you have a chance in the future."

Xiaodong nodded happily: "Okay, I will definitely go if I have the chance."

But having said that, Xiaodong feels that she...may not have the chance to travel far.

She has many things, such as the pampering of her father, the care of her brother, the love of the queen mother, the status of princess...

But in this day and age, women don't have much freedom.Even if she is the princess, there will be no exception.

"She also asked me to bring you a gift, but I didn't bring it today, and I will bring it to you tomorrow."

Hearing that there are gifts received, Xiaodong smiled happily—it's not that she is greedy for money and likes gifts, but that every gift represents a heart.

Yao Jinfeng would think about asking Qin Lie to bring her a gift, to show that he did not forget her.

It's not in vain that Xiaodong has been thinking about her and worrying about her for so long.

"By the way, when did you arrive in the capital? Where do you live now?"

Zhao Lu snorted: "Young master Qin has a big heart, he doesn't like our Prince An's mansion, so he went to live in the famous Sihaiju."

Qin Lie chuckled: "Look at what you said. Now it's not as thick-skinned as when I was a child. You can justify your ignorance and come here for free. Now you can't use ignorance as an excuse."

Xiaodong was also not happy: "It's not that there is no place to live in the mansion, why do you want to stay in a hotel? Move back quickly, that yard has been empty since you left."

I cut my son’s head today—I bought scissors and clippers myself, but he didn’t cooperate, so the cut was half long and half short, and it was as uneven as a dog chewing on the edge of thatch~~Crying so hard that I was choking , this is not cutting his head, it seems like he wants to kill his head...

After tossing, I feel that I have aged for several years~tears~~
Scrolling for tickets~~~~
