Chapter 229
After everyone dispersed after dinner, Lan Qiao knocked on Li Jingshu's door and called out, "Miss Li, are you there? I'll take you out of the city."
Li Jingshu's shy and anxious voice came from the door, "Master, wait a minute. The door is unlocked."
Lan Qiao was startled for a moment and found that the door was only ajar. He looked through the crack of the door and saw Li Jingshu with her back to the door, bending down to change out of the greasy dress she had stained while cooking.
He knew he would not look at anything inappropriate and was about to retreat, but unexpectedly, Li Jingshu turned around while she was adjusting her clothes and glanced at the crack in the door, meeting Lan Qiao's eyes.
"Young Master," her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She immediately covered her face with her clothes and begged in an almost trembling voice, "Young Master, please wait downstairs. Your family will be fine soon. I won't keep you waiting for too long."
."
Lan Qiao was also embarrassed and said in a nonchalant manner, "I didn't peek in intentionally, please forgive me, girl." He didn't dare to look at her again and ran away as if he was running for his life.
He waited at the door for nearly half an hour, thinking about whether to go back and ask again, when he heard the sound of soft footsteps, and Li Jingshu's voice came from behind and said, "The slave family has packed up, let's go."
Lan Qiao was annoyed that she came out too late, but suddenly he smelled an intoxicating fragrance of flowers. When he turned around and took a look, he was stunned and shocked.
But I saw that she was wearing a light pink and white dress, revealing her soft and boneless shoulders and arms, and her round and straight calves and jade knees underneath. A pure white silk belt was tied around her waist, which highlighted her
With a slim figure, a pair of delicate shoes were made of straw ropes as thick as chopsticks and tied into straps, which were tied to her ankles and feet at the base of her toes, highlighting her delicate white lotus feet.
Her black hair flowed down behind her like a waterfall, but she singled out a bunch and tied a black rope at the end of her hair. Her whole person exuded an intoxicating fragrance, as touching as the cherry blossoms blooming in March.
.
Lan Qiao simply didn't know where to put his eyes. He subconsciously took a step back, looked at Li Jingshu's black and white eyes and said at a loss, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Li Jingshu blushed and said shyly, "It's too hot. The slave family is most afraid of the heat." As she said this, she picked up the hem of her skirt and fanned herself, looking like she was afraid of the heat and greedy for the cold.
"Have you packed everything?" Lan Qiao saw that she was carrying a half-sized bag on her back and asked, "It's getting late, let's leave the city now."
"Master, please wait a moment." Li Jingshu said, taking the baggage, taking out a small bell from it, and said to Lanqiao Road, "This was given to me by the proprietress of the clothing store when Xiaoye and I were on the street on the Dragon Boat Festival. It was originally a bell.
The hairband with bells, but unfortunately the hairband was damaged by Ren Da and the others, so only the bells are left. Can you help me tie it on the headband at the end of my hair?"
Although Lan Qiao thought she was troublesome, he couldn't help but beg her softly. He nodded and was about to take the bell from her hand. When their fingertips touched, her hand trembled and the bell fell to the ground.
"Sorry." Li Jingshu smiled apologetically, then bent down to pick up the bell and put it into Lan Qiao's watery palm.
Lan Qiao hurriedly tied the bell for her, walked back to her but did not dare to look at her, and asked again, "Can you leave now?"
"Of course." Li Jingshu smiled sweetly, walked around the blue bridge and walked directly in front of him, the bell at the end of her hair making a crisp sound.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the fiery red sunlight passed through a few remaining clouds on Dongting Lake, becoming warm and soft. The rays of light fell on her shoulders, like a graceful veil, and fell on the dancing silver in her hair.
The bell reflected a dazzling light.
Lan Qiao followed her towards the north city gate. Looking at her graceful figure from behind, he couldn't help but sigh, such a beauty, even compared to Bai Xueyin or Feng Yeling, can only be said to be of a different age.
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "When Uncle Xu saw you for the first time, he knew that you were naturally beautiful, but he didn't expect that you could become so charming in this situation. If Ling'er sees this,
, and she knows that I am sending you out of the city alone, so no matter how big your heart is, she will inevitably be jealous."
"Does it look good?" Li Jingshu gently lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, turned it around in a circle with a smile, and said slyly, "Actually, you don't have to worry about Xiaoye, she won't be jealous because of the slave family."
Lanqiao Qidao "How do you know?"
"Because I met her earlier than you and know her better than you." Li Jingshu slowed down and waited for Lan Qiao to catch up and walked side by side with him, saying calmly, "Young master, you should know that Xiaoye and I were together when we were children.
They are very good playmates, so good that we can play together for days and nights. At that time, Xiaoye told me that we should marry the same husband in the future, so that even after we get married, we can live together forever.
Together." She suddenly stopped talking and glanced at Lan Qiao with her beautiful eyes.
Lan Qiao thought of the possible hidden meaning in her words, coughed quickly to relieve the embarrassment, and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, I rejected her." Li Jingshu looked at Lan Qiao's astonished expression and said with a smile, "What did the young master think? Of course it is impossible for her to agree to such a life-long event. Speaking of it, Xiaoye had to call me sister.
Once we get married in the future, it would be okay if I get married first. The relationship between sisters is natural. But if she gets married first, then I will be forced to call her sister and end up in a loss-making business. I can't agree to her."
Lan Qiao originally thought that Li Jingshu's rejection of Feng Yeling was due to her firm principles and stance, but she didn't expect that it was actually a petty joke between the two little sisters. She couldn't help but laugh and laugh, and felt ashamed for her own thoughts just now.
The two were about to go out of the north gate and walked through a street full of various shops. Li Jingshu walked to a small medicine shop and stopped and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I want to buy some medicinal materials."
Lan Qiao thought that Li Jingshu wanted to prepare emergency medicinal materials for the road, so he responded and followed her into the medicine shop. However, he saw her whispering a few words to the medicine shop owner, who took out a bag of ground medicinal materials and gave it to her.
Li Jingshu pulled Lan Qiao out to the door of the drug store and mysteriously took out a sachet from the bag. It was the same sachet that Lan Qiao had obtained many years ago and returned to Li Jingshu a few days ago.
"I repaired this sachet for the young master." She took Lan Qiao's hand with a sweet smile, put the sachet into his palm and said, "Before, the drug store was out of stock, so I didn't bring it to you until now.
Young Master."
Lan Qiao stroked the delicate stitches on the sachet and said puzzledly, "But this sachet is just for girls."
Li Jingshu said cheerfully, "Since I am destined to the young master, I will give it to him as a gift. I asked for it back at Qionglu Tiange that day, just to repair it and make it look better."
As she spoke, she untied the knot that sealed the sachet, carefully poured the medicine powder she just bought into the bag, tied the knot again and said, "The slave family knows that the young master is not what he used to be, so he has also made some adjustments to the proportion of various medicinal materials."
Corresponding adjustments allow this sachet to have more effects than before."
Lan Qiao said in astonishment, "What effect?"
He asked bluntly, but Li Jingshu suddenly became coy again.
She first glanced at the red clouds in the sky, lowered her head and said "um" and "ah" for a long time, and then whispered two words like a mosquito, "tonifying the kidneys."
Seeing Lan Qiao's expression of disbelief, Li Jingshu was too embarrassed to look at him. She hesitated for a long time and finally explained softly, "Xiaoye is my best sister. Young master, you must treat her well."
Lan Qiao put the sachet to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then looked at the shy Li Jingshu in front of him, and felt an urge to hold her in his arms.
He took a deep breath to suppress the immoral impulse, and while putting the sachet away, he forcibly changed the subject and said, "Then what was the last medicinal ingredient you added?"
Li Jingshu said calmly, "Danggui."
