It was another dim light in the morning. After breakfast, Xidian went to the crabapple tree in the courtyard, picked a crabapple hairpin and put it on her temples, sat down against the tree trunk, took out the amethyst lotus and played with it in her hands.
Over the past few days, she had repeatedly observed the amethyst, and was surprised to find that under different lights, the crystal would produce different waves. This made her more and more certain that the amethyst was a rare treasure. She had to consider how to use the amethyst.
It would be best to return it. Such a good treasure must have a great background.
"What are you looking at?" When she was stunned, a voice suddenly sounded behind her. She hurriedly hid the amethyst in her sleeve and looked back at Yuwen Haoxuan who was walking over.
"It's nothing, I'm just dazed with nothing to do." Xi Qian explained unnaturally. Yu Wen Haoxuan frowned slightly and did not ask further questions.
"We may be on the road in a few days. You and Xuechun should be prepared. We will set off at any time."
"Are you leaving?" Xiqian's mood suddenly felt relaxed. The depression of so many days was finally over, and she could hit the road again to experience different scenery.
"Seeing that you are so happy, do you feel uncomfortable living in the Xia Mansion?" Yuwen Haoxuan sat down beside her and picked up a crabapple and twirled it on his fingertips.
"No, everyone in the Xia Mansion has taken good care of us. It's just that if we stay in the mansion all day long, we will inevitably feel depressed."
"We can't let anyone know our whereabouts during this trip, so we can't take you out for a walk. When we get to the border in a few days, I will definitely take you around."
"Are we going to the frontier fortress?" Xiqian's eyes immediately exuded a look of fascination. She had only read about the vastness and vastness of the frontier fortress in books before, and never dreamed that one day she would actually set foot on that vast land.
.
"But it's a long way to go. If everything goes well, it will take about a month." Yu Wen Haoxuan helplessly poured a handful of cold water on her burning heart.
"So long!" Thinking of having to bump on the carriage for a month, Xiqian's enthusiasm immediately disappeared.
Yuwen Hao
Xi Xian brushed the flowers on her temples, lowered her eyes, and fiddled with the petals on the ground with her fingers. Yu Wen Haoxuan took her soft and boneless hand and put it in his palm and said, "I, Zizhao, and Maolin will go out to do something later."
If you have something to do, you can come back tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"What are you going to do?" After Xiqian asked, she knew she had gone overboard and lowered her head quietly.
Yuwen Hao
Just take this and rush back to Shangjing as quickly as possible, and give it to Lieutenant Zhu."
Yuwen Haoxuan handed the seal to Xiqian's hand, and Xiqian looked back at him with a hint of fear, holding the seal tightly.
Seeing her nervous expression, Yu Wen Haoxuan smiled easily and said, "Don't worry too much. It's just a small matter this time. I will definitely come by tomorrow evening at the latest."
Xiqian nodded silently, still feeling uneasy in her heart. Yuwen Haoxuan asked some more trivial matters, but she didn't really listen. She just looked at the person in front of her intently, wanting to imprint him in her mind forever.
"Wait until I come back." Yu Wen Haoxuan released his hold on her hand, stood up and left, his figure gradually disappearing among the lush branches and leaves. Xi Qian felt as if something had been taken away from her heart, and a sadness filled her bright eyes.
Swinging slowly in the morning light.
When she returned to the house, she asked Xuechun to pack her bags together, but she was just a little perfunctory in the face of Xuechun's doubts.
Xuechun has become more sensible after following her for the past six months. When he saw the worried look on her face, he stopped asking questions and started quietly, observing the changes in her expression from time to time.
The layout of the nursing homes' patrols has also changed unknowingly. The pace of people coming and going has become more frequent. The sticks they usually hold have been replaced by real knives and guns. In the sun, even the inconspicuous trees reflect the cold light.
There was also a silent whistle hidden in the corner of the wall.
Xiqian looked at these changes with a calm face, but her heart was already filled with uneasiness, but she had to calm down, because Xia Yingying was young and inexperienced, so Yuwen Haoxuan and the others entrusted all the affairs of the house to her and the old housekeeper before they left.
.
Now not only Xuechun is looking at her, but everyone in the house is looking at her.
"...The nursing home is on duty in three shifts, and the same applies to all parts of the mansion. The duty time of each shift is not long, so as to avoid fatigue and slackness. The stewards in each place do not rest during this period, and always keep an eye on the people in the mansion.
Fortunately, there are only two days, so everyone can survive..."
The old housekeeper stood below and told her about various matters in the mansion. After hearing this, Xi Qian nodded silently and said, "You have more experience than me in allocating personnel in the mansion. You can just take care of it. You don't have to go back and forth for everything. I will
I just want to say one thing, no one is allowed to whisper to each other in private, and if I hear a little bit about it, none of you can escape the responsibility."
The stewards standing behind the old housekeeper all bowed their heads and said yes. Although they didn't know what happened specifically, they didn't dare to slack off when they saw this posture.
After everyone retreated, Xi Qian gently stroked her forehead, took the mint tea handed to her by Xuechun and drank it in one gulp.
"You don't have a day to spare, let's eat something and take a break while you have free time." Xuechun said and brought up the food that had been heated several times. Xiqian only took a few bites and then put down the bowl and chopsticks without any appetite. She also
Look around to see if there's anything you've missed.
It was already late at night after all the tossing, and Xuechun fell asleep on the desk due to exhaustion. Xi Qian gently covered her with a blouse, and she put on her clothes and leaned on the corner of the bed to take a nap.
The whole night was uneventful. When she opened her eyes again, the morning light had already appeared. Xi Qian moved her stiff body. Due to the bad sleeping position, her body ached in many places. She looked at the table. She didn't know when Xuechun was no longer there, attached to her body.
His blouse also covered himself.
Xu Guessing that she was about to wake up, Xuechun walked into the house with breakfast. As usual, she only took a few bites and put it aside.
Next, he listened to the chatter of the stewards again. Xuechun stood aside and did not understand and did not want to listen. He regarded the stewards' voices as a lullaby and kept nodding and dozing off, not even noticing that everyone left.
"If you're sleepy, go to the back room and sleep." Xi Xuan woke her up with a soft voice.
Xuechun immediately widened his eyes and said, "No, I'm not sleepy, it's just that the stewards were talking too boringly, and I felt like I was about to fall asleep."
Xiqian smiled helplessly and ignored her. She stood up and went to the window, looking in the direction of the front yard, with endless prayers in her eyes.
