The whole morning passed in the hustle and bustle of Qinghu. Ye Suqing was half lying on the lounge chair by the window, sometimes sighing, sometimes covering her mouth and smiling, but she just listened quietly to Qinghu talking about these days.
Interesting things that happened in the red building.
"By the way, sister, Qinghu will give you a crossword puzzle. The puzzle is like this. If a mosquito lands on your eyelids in the middle of the night, guess a person's name."
Ye Suqing listened to the riddle Qing Hu said, without even thinking about it, and said: "Zhang Fei!"
Qing Hu opened his eyes wide, looked at her with admiration and smiled: "Sister, you are so awesome, you don't even know. The girls in our building are so stupid that they couldn't guess it for most of the day.
Let Mr. Han’s one hundred taels of silver fly away. If my sister were here..."
When Qinghu said this, she stopped again because she suddenly realized that her sister was always there, but she just didn't open the door to receive guests like other girls.
"It doesn't matter, since we are in the Red Mansion, how can we claim to be noble anymore." After experiencing so many things, Ye Suqing took it lightly. But the words "Mr. Han" in Qinghu's mouth reminded her of many things in the past.
She knew the answer to this riddle without even thinking because Han Shaohua had told it to her when she was a child. The scene at that time was reflected in her mind again.
"Sister, why is the answer Zhang Fei and not Wen Buding?" She once asked like Qinghu with her innocent little face raised.
"The mosquito doesn't bite? Then what does it do when it lands on your eyelids? On the contrary, as long as you open your eyes, the mosquito will fly away."
Without thinking, Ye Suqing said exactly what Han Shaohua said to her back then, but she didn't flick Qinghu's forehead like Han Shaohua did.
Qinghu was startled, then smiled knowingly. "Sure enough, Zhang Fei is the best answer. I thought it was Mr. Han who was stingy and didn't want to give money, so he rejected everyone's answer!"
Hearing the word Mr. Han again, Ye Suqing's face darkened again. Finally, she couldn't help but asked: "The Mr. Han you mentioned is a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide ears and square lips."
A talented man in his teens, with a Beijing accent?"
Qinghu was startled again and said: "Sister is really amazing, she even knows this." But then she looked at Ye Suqing with something in mind and said: "Could my sister be the runaway he was looking for?"
Lady, right?"
Ye Suqing's face froze and she said: "How is that possible! Your sister has never promised to marry anyone, how could she be his runaway wife?"
A runaway wife? Oh, even though I had a marriage contract with him, I had never married him. The runaway wife he mentioned should be the Miss Shang family. What's more, she had already been with him when she left Beijing.
After cutting off all affection, how could he come all the way to find me? There should be a limit to daydreaming!
Even though Ye Suqing was thinking this, in a corner of his heart, there was still a voice, that is, Han Shaohua came to Luo City this time really to find her. Then he looked at Qinghu and said: "You
Did Mr. Han mentioned how long he would stay in Luo City?"
"Oh, I'm not sure about that, but the people accompanying him inadvertently said that they would stay in Luo City for a few days on official business."
Ye Suqing said softly, then pursed her lips and smiled lightly. Why did she ask about this? Even if he really came here for her, even if he came to the Red Mansion again at this moment, could she still go out to see him?
Seeing that Ye Suqing remained silent for a long time after asking, Qinghu asked curiously: "Does my sister also want to win the one hundred taels of silver?"
Ye Suqing was startled for a moment, and then said: "You can't tell whether they will come again, there is no money to win!"
"Yes, yes. When Mr. Han left that day, he said that if anyone could answer the answer within three days and tell the reason, he would also give away the one hundred taels of silver. Calculate the time,
Today happens to be the third day." Qinghu counted his fingers while his eyes let out a fascinating light.
Ye Suqing was speechless. After a long time, he said: "Then just go and get the one hundred taels of silver! If he really comes, you can also ask him for a couplet. The first couplet is, Yu Luo Qin's poem is moist. If
If he can answer it, I will go see him!"
This couplet was written by Ye Suqing back then, and Han Shaohua has never been able to match the second couplet. It was not because he was not talented enough, but because he could not find an artistic conception that matched the first couplet. Perhaps after so many years, he had long forgotten this incompetent couplet.
Couplet at the end. Or maybe he said he couldn't do it right back then and just gave in to himself!
Ye Suqing decided that if he could still remember what he asked for right back then, she would see him again and give him another chance to explain everything clearly. Although things have changed and the person is old, she still wants to understand why he did it back then.
I can't explain this second line, which even she knows.
Qinghu took Ye Suqing's answer to the riddle and the first couplet and hurried to the front yard. She had to go and see if Mr. Han was here! Today was the third day, and he was supposed to come to check and accept the results. But she couldn't let anyone else do it.
Someone got there first. That was a hundred taels of silver, which was enough for my uncle to live on a tight budget for several years. If I used it as capital to start a small business, it would fundamentally solve my uncle’s livelihood for the rest of his life. Maybe my aunt
You can come back.
Although her uncle and aunt in Qinghu didn't treat her very well, they always gave her the warmth of a home when she was helpless. Signing her to work in the Red Mansion for ten years, although it made her sad, was still better.
It would be better to sell her directly.
So she has always been grateful, remembering only the good things that should be remembered, and forgetting all the bad things that should not be remembered. Because her uncle is her only relative in this world!
After Qinghu left, Ye Suqing stepped out of the inner room and leaned on the railing of the small building, leaning on the railing and overlooking the small lake not far away. Although the flowers had fallen under the autumn wind, and the scenery was no longer as good as before, but
After all, it is much more transparent than hiding in a room.
Under the sun, I just stretched my arms comfortably, but suddenly retracted them, and carefully pressed my hands on my lower abdomen, with a soft smile on my face.
Mu Huailang, who had just walked in, looked at Ye Suqing, who was bathing in the sun and smiling from a distance, and his heart tightened for no reason. He hadn't seen that soft smile in a long time, because
Did you hear the news that Han Shaohua came to Luo City?
Mu Huailang's hands hanging in his sleeves clenched silently. This woman was really good at ruining his good mood. She had just received some good news from Duan Hua, and her mood was slightly relieved, but she
again……
Han Shaohua, even if you have the chance to go to Luo City, I will never let you have the opportunity to see Ye Suqing. In this life, you will never see her again! Thinking like this, Mu Huailang flicked his sleeves, turned around and
After leaving the red building, he had to arrange some things and people.
