Jian An Kee

The author has something to say:

Ten days before the beginning of summer, the sky was cloudy and rainy.

The stage in the middle of the lake is empty, and the fine rain gently caresses the Xiangfei bamboo guardrail.On the balcony on the second floor, the girl in the emerald green dress stretched her body, raised her head to meet the inexplicable call of the natural creation, her young pink cheeks were coated with bright raindrops.

By the open window on the third floor, Sun Quan squeezed a small teacup and stared at the lake.

I put one hand on his shoulder: "What are you looking at?"

"It's very pleasant to make tea on a rainy day, um, thank you for thinking of coming here."

"Ha," I sat down on my knees, and extended my hand to refill his tea: "At first I thought the general wouldn't come for this invitation."

"Hey, are you blaming me, little thing?" His big hand was on the back of my hand, and the smile on his brow was filled with infinite affection, "I said that I have been very busy recently, and I really can't spare time, so don't blame me anymore. .”

"What is the purpose of all the subordinates in the General's Mansion?" I pretended to be indifferent.

He caressingly wiped a little drop of water from my forehead: "Then I'll be with you all afternoon today, okay?"

I couldn't help curling the corner of my mouth, and then deliberately changed the subject: "By the way, I just saw a very beautiful girl downstairs standing in the rain, who is that?"

"You, you, Cheng Risuke's 'beautiful girl' hangs around, aren't you ashamed?" He commented.

"Oh, I don't care, tell me who that person is! Have you found a new lover?"

"Nonsense. Xiaoyao is a relative of my grandmother's family. Something happened to Jiangbei's family, so I came here to stay for a few days."

"What's her name?" I asked involuntarily.

"It's called Yuan Yao." He replied, and at the same time called the maid under the window, and ordered: "Go to the second floor and tell Miss Yuan to go in and keep out of the rain. Forget it... let her come up."

"No." The maid took the order and left.

I interfaced sourly: 'Ah, I am very concerned about her. "

Hearing my words, he couldn't help smiling: "You are narrow-minded." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched my face, just as the bead curtain outside made a crisp sound, and the girl in the emerald dress walked straight towards us. .

Looking at Sun Quan again, he quickly retracted his hands and sat upright, putting on a serious face.

"I've seen Uncle Biao." The girl's voice was extremely clear and pleasant, and when she raised her head, the two jade pendants hanging by her ears were bright and eye-catching.

Sun Quan nodded, and then asked, "Why is Xiaoyao here?"

"Back to uncle, when it rains, the house is too stuffy! But I heard the old saying, oh, it's the maid you gave me, uncle - talking about the stage in the middle of the lake, so I went here for a stroll."

Hearing this, my face turned dark, Sun Quan hurriedly gave me a wink, and then came again: "Xiaoyao, let's go to the terrace to have a look, the view is the best there, the lonely man opened the door of the observation deck."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Biao!" She saluted excitedly, and ran out with her skirt tugging at her hem.

I didn't wait for Sun Quan to explain, and said first: "Hey, you gave the long-awaited words to Miss Yuan?"

"I thought you wouldn't have to see her because of this, how could I have thought that Xiaoyao would come over..." He frowned, holding his forehead in pain.

"Okay, I didn't say anything, so don't worry. Let's invite your niece to sit up and I'll make tea for her." I smoothed things over.

He immediately returned to normal, and smiled slyly: "It's better for us, Alan."

For a while, the wind stopped and the rain stopped in the middle of the lake, and the sun in the west hid in the dark clouds, showing a half smile shyly.At this moment, the world is bright and clear, which is suitable for harming people.

Using my legs and feet, I walked slowly to the corridor outside, took advantage of the favorable location and glanced down, and quickly distinguished Suyan's figure from three or four maids in water-red gauze skirts.

There was a strange smile on the corners of her eyes, and she lowered her head slightly, chatting and laughing with the little girl who hadn't combed her hair yet.At this time, she still didn't know that the behavior of slandering her unwillingly in the past few days would end today.

Ten cups of sugar tea with floating black dates were put on the table one by one in batches, and I smiled at Yuan Yao with a pleasant face: "Xiao Yao just had my tea, why don't your maids try it too?"

"Ok, ok, auntie, you make this tea, it smells so good, I like it very much."

I was stunned for a while, but Sun Quan clapped his hands and laughed: "Xiaoyao is messing around, your cousin's aunt has not received the dowry, why did you call your aunt, or is it that Xiaoyao was bought by Alan's cups of sugar tea?

"Hee hee, uncle, don't pretend, you are obviously very happy." After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at me.And I pretended to bow my head shyly, a black trickle of sorrow flowed through my heart.

The sun is setting and the twilight is coming together, and the position of the burning lights in the house is just as I have just instructed.I took the lead in putting everyone under the three-five method (a kind of evil-fighting Taoism), and left a place for Dukong, waiting for the protagonist who was guided by the obsession talisman water mixed into the tea and walked into that place.

Between the three talking and laughing, the flowing water banquet was served on the table one by one.Seeing that the time was about the same, I took out a juan handkerchief from my sleeve to wipe the corners of my mouth, and said to my left and right with a tired expression: "Bring me a cup of tea." Then I said to Sun Quan, "I seem to be a little dizzy."

As I spoke, I pushed away the support of Taoyue, stood up, and staggered to the window.

"Could it be because of the heat?" Sun Quan put down his glass and asked with concern.

Things happen in just an instant.

Holding the cup of tea, Suyan stepped into the "killing door" in the gossip, his eyes suddenly became angry, he lifted the lid of the cup, and a cup of hot tea poured on me.

I was already on my guard, I flicked the front of my clothes, most of the tea flowed out along the clothes, only a few splashed onto my arms and shoulders.However, I lost my center of gravity and couldn't resist a backward fall. I fell straight from the window and fell heavily on the floor of the next floor.

The girl's scream pierced the night sky, and the waterfowl on the shore flew up in surprise.

I struggled to sit up, holding my arms and gritting my teeth.Red blood flowed down from the arm, quickly soaking the entire sleeve, looking very terrifying.

Sun Quan, who jumped from the third floor to the balcony on the second floor, stepped in front of me, pushed away the waiter who was trying to help me, and wrapped me in his arms.

"Jesus," he said, "Alan, what's the matter with you?!"

I was choked up for a few seconds, and couldn't help crying: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

He patted my back and coaxed me: "It's fine if I'm awake, don't fall asleep, okay?" He turned his head and told someone to call for a doctor, then took off his hair tie and tied it on my arm to stop the bleeding, and carried me all the way outside .

The bed curtain is half covered, and the beast cauldron spits out fog.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle, and then the gray-bearded doctor checked the injury on my shoulder, cut the pulse as usual, and ordered a bunch of things. Every time he said something, Sun Quan's face became more ugly, which made the old man stutter in fright. Until the eyeballs fluttered.

In fact, rich and powerful doctors are all like this. The more serious the disease is, the more he shows his superb medical skills and importance, so my shoulders were bound into a mummy shape, which seemed to be more serious than amputation.

Sun Quan only thought that I must be in severe pain at this moment, so he came over and gently embraced me, letting me sit next to him.I tried my best to bury my face into his arms, and whispered: "I don't want to go back, otherwise I will be blamed by my family..."

"Ma'am, why did she blame you? It's not our Alan's fault." He completely treated me like a child.

I deliberately ignored his intention to replace "family" with "she", put an arm around his neck, and whispered in his ear: "You forgot? Last time Xie Cong framed me, she didn't intercede for me. "

After saying this, I stared straight at him, seeing the corners of his mouth drooping and his brows furrowed.I have not been with him for a short time, and I know that he is very contradictory at the moment.

In the end, he took a deep breath and said firmly, "You stay tonight."

It was slowly getting dark.Lying on my back on the narrow low couch, I heard a conversation from the other side of the patio.The sound is deliberately lowered, so I had to catch:

"...Did you talk to Shen Yu?" This was Sun Quan.

"Yes, the report was sent to the general's mansion just fifteen minutes ago." The voice belonged to one of his attendants, was it Feng or Li?

"Go over now and tell him that Gu will not go back tonight. By the way, ask Gu Li to deliver the things after dinner."

"No, General."

Footsteps sounded in my ears, and the bed curtain was lifted when I was young. Sun Quan reached out and pressed my fingertips exposed under the quilt, and asked softly: "This place is too simple, can I help you to rest in the bedroom?"

I nodded obediently, and entered the room weakly with his half-support and half-embrace.He settled me down himself, took the teacup presented by the maid and fed me water.

I shook my head shyly: "I will do it myself."

"Come on." He insisted on doing it, and at the same time said solemnly: "My man who is lying on my bed, are you still shy?"

Hearing this, I choked suddenly, coughing and splashing the bed curtain, Sun Quan patted my back in a panic, never thought of knocking over the bedside saucer, the teacup fell to the ground with a clatter, and quickly swam in the middle of the carpet. Open a large area of ​​water.

The maids hurriedly gathered around to tidy up, and boldly said: "General, it's better for the servants to come.

He was a little embarrassing, which was rare, and he stepped back two steps, sighing: "Forget it, I won't scare you with such obscene words in the future."

He comforted me for a long time before going out.I half leaned on the bed, and lazily asked the maid beside the bed: "Hey, sister, can I ask you something?"

The maid was very clever, immediately stepped forward and half-kneeled, and replied: "Miss, please tell me."

"Are you used to serving in Bieye, or do you often go out with the general?"

She swallowed nervously, and seemed to have misunderstood my intention: "Servant, servant only waits in the garden and does not go out."

"Oh. Then do you recognize Su Yan? Yes, the one who brought the tea to me." I said and glanced at my bandaged wound.

"Miss Hui, I heard that she was not a maid in the general's mansion, she was brought back from outside the mansion by Shen Guanshi, otherwise such a mistake should not have happened."

"Hey, you said she was a mistake?"

She swayed, apparently she was at war with heaven and man in her heart, her mouth was agitated, but she couldn't utter a word.

"Forget it, let's go down."

As if she had been pardoned, she fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Yes."

I lay down and dozed off, and when the maids in the room turned off the lights and left, I got up quietly and looked at the room through the gap in the bed curtain.

Just now Sun Quan said that I was lying on his bed—this is true, but as far as I know, he rarely rests in this room.Whenever he stayed in Bieye, he used to sleep in the small cubicle behind the study.That is to say, behind many layers of curtains and bookshelves is the place to put official correspondence.

I couldn't help but cast my gaze into the dark depths of the room.

When Sun Quan entered the door, he happened to see me standing in front of the vermilion lacquer screen leading to the study with a dazed expression and holding an oil lamp in one hand.

He came over and helped me by the shoulder: "Why don't you call someone when you wake up? Doesn't the wound hurt?"

I looked up and smiled at him: "When I first saw the beauty painted on your screen, I couldn't help but be attracted to her. You see, her clothes are fluttering like a fairy walking on the mundane world. It's really fascinating ah."

He was depressed when he heard the words: "As expected of the Zhou family, the tone is exactly the same as your uncle's. Sit down and talk."

He pulled me back to the bed and sat down, looked sideways at the painting, and said: "At first, I gave this painting to Gong Jinyang, whoever wanted to send the painting back to the artist for revision if it was accidentally dirty, later I forgot."

"I think you are reluctant?" I curled my lips, "This girl is stepping on clouds of seven colors and holding Yaocao in her hand. The painting must be the goddess of Wushan. You men like it the most."

"What messed up books are you reading again?"

"Shan Hai Jing." I said, pointing to a clump of unknown plants painted on the corner of the screen: "There are bugs on it, why are the servants unwilling to clean it up?"

Sun Quan laughed out loud and clapped his hands: "Another one." After saying that, he stood up and flicked his cuffs there.

A few chaotic bugs didn't move at all, and they were clearly embellishments of the painting.

"Ah, it's actually painted, it's so lifelike!" I couldn't help but stare.

"I'm just saying that I'm not the only one who was fooled. Cao Buxing's drawing skills are quite good, and he must be rewarded tomorrow."

I smiled and clasped his arm: "It's normal for people to love you."

I looked up and found that he was staring at me. I felt quite embarrassed and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

His eyes were twinkling: "Alan, I used to wonder when such a person would appear, laugh and cry with me, chat with me without restraint..."

I stretched out my good hand to caress his cheek: "So now I am here to accompany the general."

He said "hmm", lowered his head and kissed my forehead lightly: "You are right."

Immediately, my face became hot, and I took the initiative to lean against him, rubbing my lips against the corner of his mouth.

"Don't make trouble." He paused for a moment, and his breathing became heavier for a moment: "Little thing, I don't know if I have been alone for many days and haven't called anyone to sleep with me?"
