The sun was scorching hot, and the ground in Qincheng was so hot that the pavilions and houses in the distance began to blur. Under the shade of trees and by the pool, many people tried their best to find places where they could enjoy the shade and enjoy the greenery in the hot summer.
A touch of coolness.
On Qincheng West Street, Shitou Lane, there is a listless gatekeeper standing at the gate of a courtyard. He is wearing a thin blue shirt, rolling up his sleeves, and shaking a cattail leaf fan to guard the large courtyard with three entrances and seven exits.
There is a plaque hanging on the main entrance of the courtyard with the two characters "Liu Mansion" written on it.
The sun was hot, it was already noon, and the stone alley was very quiet. The guard at the door sat on the threshold and began to doze off.
Suddenly, the gurgling sound of wheels came from the entrance of the alley, and the gatekeeper perked up. He thought that such a loud noise must be the return of the master's custom-made carriage, so he cheered up and stood up to look forward to the entrance of the alley.
. Sure enough, what appeared at the entrance of the alley was really Liu Yuan's carriage.
Because of Liu Yuanwai's huge body, his carriage was much larger than others. As soon as the thunderous grunt sounded in the stone alley, it was Liu Yuanwai's carriage that started.
Finally, the carriage outside Yuan Liu stopped at the door. The concierge called two servants out and hurriedly came to greet him. However, he turned his head and saw that behind this huge carriage was an exquisite and luxurious conventional carriage.
Where did this come from?
Everyone was confused and helped Liu Yuanwai down. Liu Yuanwai got off the carriage and hurriedly took out an umbrella from the carriage. He came to the carriage behind and opened the umbrella.
When Liu Miao'er got off the carriage with the support of Bi'er, Liu Yuanwai hurriedly handed over the umbrella, fearing that his precious daughter would be burned by the harsh sun, and did not notice that his own forehead was already oozing with blood.
Beads of sweat.
"Dad, stop looking after me. You look tired."
Liu Miao'er couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw Liu Yuanwai sweating like rain. She took out her handkerchief to wipe away his sweat, but she saw that he was so excited that his body collapsed at the same time. His round face looked like he wanted to be happy, but he couldn't.
The look on his face that he didn't dare to be happy was extremely awkward.
This member Liu seems to be very afraid of my daughter!
Liu Miao'er pursed her lips and smiled, holding Yuan Liu's hand, and smiled slightly at the person who came out of the Liu Mansion.
The people in the Liu Mansion were stunned and didn't know what to do.
When did the young lady actually get close to the master? In the past, the young lady was very gentle and docile, but when facing the master, she didn’t have a good face at all. What’s going on now?
Everyone was surprised, but Liu Miao'er was also very confused. She always felt that as soon as she got close to Liu Yuanwai, everyone would immediately hold their breath and concentrate.
Isn't this her father? Why can't we get close to him yet?
Liu Miaoer was puzzled, but in order not to reveal her flaws and not say too much, she was quite satisfied with a father who would rather bask in the sun himself than let her do it. With his round belly and round face, it looked like
Looking at Liu Miao'er's caring and caring yet nervous look, Liu Miao'er's eyes are not fat at all, but she feels very cute.
However, Liu Miaoer was really shocked when the huge carriage appeared.
If she sat in it, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a problem to set up a small bed to lie down on.
"Dad, the sun is very hot today, let's go in."
After saying that, Liu Miaoer supported Liu Yuanwai and walked towards the gate of Liu Mansion. Liu Yuanwai straightened his body nervously, took his daughter and stepped into the familiar threshold.
Qingpo and Bi'er followed, while Lin Zi called for people to bring the carriage into the mansion, and also moved the things Liu Miao'er collected from the palace into Liu's mansion.
The summer wind was extremely hot. As soon as Liu Miaoer entered the Liu Mansion, she felt that it was much hotter than outside. It was no wonder that Liu Miaoer went to the teahouse to cool down.
There are no elders or relatives in the Liu Mansion, so when Liu Miao'er returns home, she doesn't need any trouble to meet and give gifts. She follows her father and sits in a small pavilion near the water. Liu Miao'er uses her hand to fan the wind, and her back gradually feels refreshed.
Sweated.
This Liu Mansion is really not comparable to Yuan Shao's Jin Garden. Yuan Shao hired top craftsmen to build the Jin Garden. If it gets hot in summer, water from Xiaoming Lake can be drawn down from the roof and the room will be very cool. In addition, the palace has a cellar.
Liu Miao'er didn't feel hot when the ice cubes came out, but when she arrived at Liu's Mansion, without the equipment that cost a lot of money to build, she felt a little hot.
"Miss, is it hot? No...it doesn't matter. I ordered someone to get ice cubes to cool down the attic. Miss, you can go there in a while." Liu Yuanwai was opposite Liu Miao'er, who was originally in a daze.
Watching his daughter grow up, she giggled, but when she saw Liu Miaoer getting flustered with heat, she immediately became restless.
Miss?
It was this kind of title again. Liu Miao'er didn't understand why Liu Yuanwai called her daughter like this.
"Dad, how can you call me miss? Just call me Miao'er! It's a little hot at home, but Miao'er can handle it. Dad, you don't have to worry. You're sweating so much. Go drink some tea."
It's hot." As she said that, Liu Miao'er poured a cup of herbal tea for Liu Yuanwai and handed it to him.
But outside the Liu staff, Liu Miao'er was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Miao'er! Just now, did the lady just ask me to call her Miao'er?
Liu Yuanwai was stunned, looking at Liu Miao'er's smiling face and her white jade-like hands holding the tea cup. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do.
"Little Miss, I..."
Liu Yuanwai stammered nervously. Although he was so happy to see her, he didn't dare to get close to her. This made Liu Miao'er feel very helpless.
Putting down the tea cup with a "bump" sound, Liu Miao'er removed the gentleness on her face and said coldly: "Dad, my name is Miao'er!"
The sharp eyes made Liu Yuan tremble, but when he saw Liu Miao'er like this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Liu Miao'er's previous attitude towards his father was really not very good.
But although Yuan Liu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't say "Miao'er" out loud.
Liu Miaoer had no choice but to put the herbal tea in his hand and didn't force it. She didn't understand many things, so she needed to take her time.
The atmosphere in the small pavilion suddenly became quiet. Outside, Member Liu was drinking the herbal tea handed to her by Liu Miao'er, almost crying with joy. Her round eyes looked at Liu Miao'er from time to time, and her eyes were full of care, which made Liu Miao'er's heart warm.
Hot.
"Master, the ice cubes in the attic have been placed. Miss can go there."
"Why did you take so long to heat up the lady like this? Okay, take us there."
Liu Yuanwai scolded him dissatisfiedly, but the servants laughed and motioned for everyone to come over.
At Liu Yuanwai's insistence, Bi'er held an umbrella for Liu Miao'er to prevent her from being exposed to the sun. Everyone crossed Liu Yuanwai's sweltering and extremely simple courtyard and entered the backyard. Suddenly, a sense of coolness hit them.
