Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Wan Linglong's eyes greedily scanned the glazed hall of Pan Guiyuan. The cup in her hand had long gone cold, but she never took a sip.

Shangguan Qingyue and Xiao Shitou sat side by side on the soft sofa, each with their hands on their cheeks, their eyes moving left and right as the little girl walked.

Finally, he was really tired and couldn't help but wanted to rub his eyes. But just as he put his hand on it, Shangguan Qingyue slapped it away.

"Your hands are dirty, so don't rub your eyes casually. If you feel tired, go find Xiangxue to wash your face."

The little guy responded very obediently and went outside holding Xiangxue's hand.

Shangguan Qingyue finally couldn't help but speak:

"Sister Linglong, if you keep watching, your legs will ache and you won't be able to walk. If you really like me, I'll send someone to your house to tell you that you can stay with me for a few days. How about that?"

The fate between people is really amazing. Although the two met for the first time today, they got along very well. It was like they had been good friends for many years.

Except for her closest relatives, she never allowed outsiders to enter her courtyard, especially the Glazed Hall. Even the maids and servants in Pan Guiyuan were not allowed to enter. Only Xiangxue could come in to clean.

But the little girl in front of her easily caught her eye, and she wanted to show her all the good things in the yard.

Wan Linglong's ears felt hot. She was willing in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't stay. She walked quickly to the sofa, squatted down, knocked on it, looked around, and asked:

"Sister Qingyue, this set of tables and chairs looks very interesting. Is there any hidden compartment or mechanism installed?"

Shangguan Qingyue looked confused and asked back:

"What's the point of installing it? I've never seen it with my own eyes. Could it be that Sister Linglong knows all this?"

The little girl smiled with her eyes narrowed and said happily:

"Even my father praised the mechanism I designed!

The secret compartment can be used to store food or books, and the mechanism is naturally to prevent bad people from touching your things."

After squatting for too long, her calves felt numb, so she simply stood up and sat on the sofa. The sudden soft and comfortable feeling made her breathe a sigh of relief.

She opened her bright eyes and asked curiously:

"Why is this chair called a sofa? I wonder what the two words are?"

Uh, Shangguan Qingyue was stunned. She must have let it slip by accident. As for how to explain...

"Well, it's a homophone for 'comfortable'. I haven't thought of the two words yet. Just feel free to choose."

Wan Linglong nodded obediently and continued what she had just said:

"Sister, if you want to build a dark room, you can come to me. Oh, and I also know a lot about secret passages for escape..."

Looking at the girl who was talking nonstop in front of him, Shangguan Qingyue secretly said what a pity. If she were a man, or if she was born in her previous life, she would have achieved great things.

Wan Linglong was talking till her mouth was dry, but she saw her only listener was leaving. She pouted in dissatisfaction and said:

"Sister Qingyue, do you think what I said is too boring? But apart from these things, I know almost nothing else..."

Shangguan Qingyue stood up and took the little girl's hand, and said with a smile as they walked out:

"On the contrary, I think what you said is very good! But there is no rush for dark rooms and secret passages. Let's go to my glass greenhouse now. Your help is needed there even more."

Wan Linglong originally thought that the so-called greenhouse was just a place to relax in the winter, with some flowers and plants inside. However, the moment she stepped into the greenhouse, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

There was actually a large area of ​​green vegetable seedlings inside!

Fresh, green, refreshing and full of vitality.

She had never seen vegetables so close before, especially in the winter. At a glance, there were small vegetable fields separated by bluestone slabs, and each field was planted with vegetables that she couldn't even name.

She simply squatted down and took a closer look. There were still crystal clear water droplets on the leaves of the small plant, uh, and some small insects...

Hiding her panic and fear, the little girl quickly stood up and walked away from this troubled place. Well, it seems that she is still suitable for dealing with wood and hard mud.

Looking at Shangguan Qingyue who was standing aside, he asked:

"Sister Qingyue, is there anything I can do for this greenhouse?"

Shangguan Qingyue pointed to an empty space not far away and said:

"I plan to put an antique shelf there, but it will be used to display the tools needed to take care of the vegetable garden. In addition, it is too hard for the workers to water the plants. Can you help me think of making a handy water cart?

Ah, and here..."

The two girls stayed in the greenhouse tirelessly for the entire afternoon until the sun set and Baili Nanqing sent a maid to call people back.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, Wan Linglong leaned her arm over the window, lifted the curtain and looked back. She didn't let go of the curtain until the carriage turned out of the alley and drove onto the street, then she sat back quietly.

Baili Nanqing looked at the depressed little girl and asked with a smile:

"How about my aunt's house? Do you want to just follow me and never go back to the Shangshu Mansion?"

Although she knew that the other party was joking, Wan Linglong still answered seriously:

"Aunt Nanqing, please don't tease me. As the saying goes, a house of gold or silver is not as good as a thatched house of my own. I will go back anyway.

I hope my mother can be more lenient with me in the future, so that I can have more opportunities to interact with Sister Qingyue. She is such an interesting and special girl!"

When someone praises her daughter, it is no different from praising herself. Baili Nanqing feels very happy. So she stopped keeping the secret.

"I talked to your mother this afternoon, and she has promised not to constrain you as much as before. However, there are some things you still need to learn, so just spend less energy on them.

You are a well-behaved and sensible child, and you should know that your mother is not deliberately making things difficult for you. This world is too harsh for women, we need to learn to overcome hardness with gentleness and protect ourselves well, do you understand?"

The heavy stone in her heart was finally lifted, and the little girl finally smiled with relief. She blinked hard to prevent the tears from falling.

He hugged Baili Nanqing's arm affectionately and said gratefully:

"Linglong thanks Aunt Nanqing. Although I can't go home with you, I will definitely visit you often and treat you as my adoptive mother. In the future, Sister Qingyue and I will honor you together!"

……

Soon after, Shuiyunjian was filled with many novel decorations that were both interesting and practical. Even the gurgling water in the store was adjusted, and now it looks more pleasing to the eye, and even the volume of the water flow can be adjusted.

If guests need anything, they just need to press a red button at the table and a clerk will quickly come over after receiving the message.

In places that customers cannot see, Wan Linglong has also made improvements to the oven, making the temperature inside the oven more uniform and saving more charcoal.

Even Heshun, who is responsible for whipping the cream, now has more convenient tools and can do his job faster and better.

In short, Shuiyunjian has become more popular and is always full of guests every day.

The owner of the teahouse opposite finally put a note on the door to transfer the shop, but it was quickly taken down. Shangguan Qingyue had been coveting the shop opposite for a long time, and now that the opportunity had come, he would definitely seize it firmly...
