Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 267 Dead Branches
As he was talking, Ji Yuanyi saw the other peony on Xie Xian's chest and chuckled: "I said the one I picked is the most beautiful."
After that, she said happily, "It turns out that Ah Xian also likes Peony. I won't choose Lotus next time."
During this period, women mostly regarded chastity and purity as beauty, so they loved lotus, which is beautiful but not coquettish. The pink lotus is often compared to a shy and beautiful maiden who will turn pink when she meets empress.
Then he thought that the orange-yellow peony was majestic and represented brightness and wealth, which was a good match for Ah Xian.
Seeing him laughing so much, Xie Xian lost her patience and stood up to say goodbye. "It's a blessing for you to come and watch famous scholars debate scriptures. I won't bother you any more!"
Xie Xian bowed, thanked him, and turned to leave.
"Madam Xian is leaving just like that?" Dong Qian felt that the conclusion of today's debate would not come until the evening, and it was a pity that Xie Xian left in such a hurry.
"She came here just to get a result. Since my brother vouched for her, she would naturally believe it."
Ji Yuanyi yawned. The hall was cool and it was a good place to take a nap, so he lay down on the spot. Unconsciously, he glanced under the low table where Xie Xian had just sat.
Sure enough, the orange peony was not taken away. It was still inserted in a teacup.
He was stunned for a moment, and a gentle look flashed across his face. The peony was as bright as if it had just been picked because it was exposed to moisture. He thought to himself, "Ah Xian is also a person who cherishes flowers."
Xie Xian, who was outside the door, didn't know that Ji Yuanyi had so many emotions. She just did it casually. Her mother loved flowers, so she always kept clean water in the vase to prolong the flowering period.
Not long after leaving the house, he met Zhi Mo who had been waiting for him on the way.
Zhi Mo had become much whiter after spending a few months in the South. When he saw Xie Xian, he smiled and said, "Greetings, my lady."
Xie Xian stood where she was and sighed, "Lead the way!" Sooner or later, she and Xie An would encounter this situation.
"You've been in the South for a long time, do you miss home?" Zhi Mo is a houseboy, Xie Xian heard Qingdai mention it.
"I have brought the letter back. Thank you for your concern, Lady." The young man did not expect Xie Xian to still remember to ask about his situation. His eyes were red. As servants, they all followed their masters. Although the young master treated him well, he was not as attentive as the lady after all.
"It's okay. Come visit the garden at the foot of the mountain when you have time. Qingdai is here too." She brought only a few old people here. The Black Stone Guards were difficult to approach, but the female officials in the backyard were all old acquaintances.
Zhi Mo nodded, indicating that he understood. Actually, he was not that free.
"Brother didn't go home for the New Year. I wonder what he was busy with?"
"Young Master has things on hand, and he also has to worry about some miscellaneous matters in Kuaiji College."
Oh, so I was doing odd jobs for the teacher. How come I am busier than the graduate students of later generations?
When she arrived at the door of the library, she saw many girls wandering around the door. Xie Xian took a quick look and thought, well, it is indeed the place where the Xie family's handsome son stays. Look at the scene, three people are playing with plates, five are picking flowers, and a bunch of maids are running around holding umbrellas and wiping their sweat.
Zhi Mo led Xie Xian forward. The girls had different expressions, but Xie Xian did not give them any chance.
She took a step forward and pulled Zhi Mo straight through the door of the library. The girls looked away, it turned out that he was just passing by!
Zhi Mo was pulled away by Xie Xian's sleeve. He looked at the door of the library getting farther and farther away with a confused look on his face.
Xie Xian lowered her voice and said, "Hurry, let's go through the back door. Wasn't elder brother in the main hall just now? How come he came back so soon?" I didn't believe it.
Xie Xian felt that Xie An was trying to trick her. If she entered the library in front of so many girls, it would be hard to say whether she could leave at night.
Zhi Mo realized it belatedly and said, "Well, yes, there is a side door, but it would be rude to let the lady go through the side door."
Xie Xian: No! The side door is just right. It’s better to be rude than to cause trouble.
Then the two adjusted their route and finally found the side door of the library along the garden path.
After entering, Zhi Mo took Xie Xian to a side room, held a copper basin, filled it with some clean water, and asked Xie Xian to wash her hands.
Xie Xian:?
There was no rule of washing hands when people met before, so how come I, the eldest brother, have developed this new habit after arriving in the South?
Xie Xian was confused and could only roll up her sleeves and wash her hands. For some reason, she felt that the expression on Zhi Mo's face was a little awkward.
'What's wrong?' You're uncomfortable, and I'm even more uncomfortable!
Zhi Mo, who was standing next to him, had already started wailing in his heart, wondering why he had to wash his hands. It was because the young master had just seen the lady having contact with the young master from the Ji family, so he had specifically instructed him to do so.
I'm too difficult.
After Xie Xian washed her hands, Zhi Mo handed her a bamboo basket filled with fresh flowers, including lilies, orchids, bamboos, etc. These flowers were more elegant than the passionate and unrestrained flowers of ordinary flowers.
Zhi Mo saw the puzzled expression on Xie Xian's face, and he coughed lightly and said, "Young Master is on the second floor, please take the basket of flowers upstairs!"
After saying that, he ran away, fearing that Xie Xian would ask another question.
Xie Xian frowned, unable to figure out the reason, and finally gave up thinking about it.
Forget it, this man loves flowers! Maybe it's because there are few flowers in the north, so my brother developed this problem when he came to the south.
Carrying the flower basket, I climbed up to the second floor. As expected, the view from the second floor of this library is excellent.
Although it is summer, the library is built by the water, with a pine forest on one side and green water on the other side. It is really a great place to cool off.
Beyond the rows of huge bookshelves, the terrace is hung with bamboo curtains on all sides, and the gauze dances in the wind.
Xie An, wearing a moon-white crane cloak, sat on the couch. On the table in front of him was a sky-blue ceramic vase with a slender and round neck, simple and elegant. At this moment, it only held a plum branch that had long since withered.
At this moment, Xie An stared at the dead branch with a melancholy look in his eyes.
Xie Xian took two steps forward, put down the flower basket, and said, "Brother, how are you these days?"
This guy showed an expression of overdue payment as soon as he came. Who was he showing it to? However, it was useless. Facing Xie An, Xie Xian was still a little scared. There was nothing she could do. She couldn't beat him, and she couldn't kill him. She could only be patient and accompany him.
"This plum branch was picked during the winter solstice last year and has been left like this until now. Ah Xian, do you think it can still be used now?"
A look of regret flashed across Xie An's jade-like face.
"This ceramic vase and the dead branches complement each other very well." Xie Xian said. Dead branches are really used to match flowers in flower arrangement, which is also a kind of artistic conception.
Xie Xian picked up a few leaves and two orchids and put them in the vase. The dead branches and green leaves paired with the white orchid added a bit of depth.
"How about this?"
"Ah Xian is smart."
A faint smile appeared on Xie An's face, as if he were a banished immortal.
