But he saw the tears and heard the worries.
He placed his eyes deep in her heart, saw through her vulnerability, and made her uncontrollably attached to him.
But he seemed unaware of it.
She was hesitating, whether she should care about it, and how to care about it?
Water bubbled up from the kettle and splashed onto the stove, making a sizzling sound.
Song Qiao found the honeysuckle tea, put it into bowls, brewed it with water, and brought it to the front yard.
Wen Hui stroked her hand and praised Hu Xu, "How come Shopkeeper Xu has so many wonderful ideas in her head? I'm afraid there's no more interesting woman in the capital."
Hu Xu nodded in agreement. "Although the host is young, she has an extraordinary vision. If it weren't for her guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today. Give her your orchid book, and you can rest assured that she won't let you down."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Wen Hui saw Song Qiao bring out tea, and then said to her and Hu Xu: "Speaking of which, the success of my orchid book is thanks to you two. I have already agreed with Shopkeeper Xu that after the orchid book is completed, I will hold a banquet in the Orchid Garden and we will celebrate properly. You will be the guests of honor at that time, so you can't be absent."
Hu Xu stood up to help serve tea, then offered one to Wen Hui first. "Then we'll be waiting to receive your invitation."
Song Qiao's hand flicked, and some tea spilled out. Hu Xu quickly took the tea from her hand and placed it on the table. "Are you burned?"
"No." His hand didn't move, but his heart was burned by the word 'we'.
Song Qiao looked into Hu Xu's eyes and saw the clear concern. Her chest tightened slightly, and she thought of Aunt Hua. A thought trembled in her heart.
Maybe she could try again.
Wen Hui drank hot tea, smelled the orchid fragrance, and savored the love between young people, feeling very comfortable.
After finishing his tea, he finally remembered Zheng Zong'er. He took the pot of Eighteen Treasures and said to Song Qiao expectantly, "Madam Song, are there any divisions of these Eighteen Treasures?"
"No, there's only one." Song Qiao shook his head. Seeing Wen Hui wanted to ask more, he added, "It has already spiked and is about to bloom. It's not appropriate to divide it now."
Wen Hui turned the flower around and looked at it carefully, and actually saw a few flower buds the size of a fingernail.
He said regretfully, "Now that the ears have already emerged, we can only wait until next year."
Then a trace of longing crossed his face. "It's rumored that eighteen black orchids bloom on a single inflorescence of the Eighteen Beauties, and their fragrance is so strong that a single plant can fill the entire garden with fragrance. It's a rare sight in the world, and I don't know if it's true or not."
Song Qiao said, "Sir, if you want to know whether the rumor is true or not, you can test it when it blooms."
Wen Hui was delighted. "You mean you can sell this flower to me?"
Song Qiao shook his head, "Eighteen Beauties are priceless, and I won't sell them."
Wen Hui's face was full of disappointment.
Song Qiao added, "However, it's not conducive to forcing it to bloom down the mountain. You can send it to an orchid garden for foster care. When new buds appear in March next year, I can give you one."
As the road turned and the scenery turned, Wen Hui's face looked like eighteen black orchids blooming. She smiled so hard that her skin couldn't open and she kept saying hello.
He rubbed his hands and said, "I have to go back to Orchid Garden tomorrow. Why don't I take these Eighteen Beauties with me today and go into the mountains with me?"
Song Qiao agreed.
When Wen Hui saw her nod, she hurriedly picked up Shibajiao and said goodbye to the two of them, as if she was afraid that Song Qiao would go back on his word.
The two of them saw him off.
Before leaving, Wen Hui did not forget to tell Song Qiao: "Don't forget what I said."
Song Qiao responded: "Don't worry, I remember it."
She would not have anything to do with anyone from the Lu family.
Wen Hui said to Hu Xu again, "I'm worried about her being alone. You two are neighbors, so please take care of her."
The words "neighborhood blind date" always gave them an indescribable feeling. They looked at each other involuntarily, but quickly turned their heads away.
Hu Xu said, "I will."
After seeing Wen Hui off, the two stood there for a long time, not moving.
Song Qiao said, "Let's go back."
Hu Xu nodded, "Okay."
When they returned to their respective homes, Hu Xu called out to Song Qiao, "A Qiao."
Song Qiao turned around.
"You..." Hu Xu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth when he saw her tired face.
Now is not a good time.
He changed his tone and said, "You should rest early."
Song Qiao stared at him for a moment, then smiled at him, "Yeah, you too."
Then he went into the house and closed the door.
Hu Xu took out the key, but couldn't find the lock for a long time. He fumbled for a while, and the door was opened from the inside, revealing a speechless face.
"There's someone home and the door isn't locked, so why are you poking at the keyhole?"
Hu Xu was startled. "Sister? When did you come back?"
The Hu family elder sister said: "When you expressed your feelings for Song Qiao to that Madam Lu."
Hu Xu's face flushed immediately, and then he hurriedly pushed his sister into the yard and locked the door tightly.
Oh God, how many people have heard it!
As soon as Mrs. Lu returned to the Lu residence, she was told by the maid that the lady-in-waiting and the master were waiting for her.
She didn't even have time to change her clothes. She endured the discomfort and went to the lady's room with the maid.
As soon as she entered the lady's yard, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, which made her feel more dizzy.
She covered her mouth and nose lightly, and took a long time to calm down before heading towards the lady's room. As soon as she reached the door, she heard people talking about her.
The maid guarding the door was about to pay her respects, but was stopped by her and sent out.
She quietly walked to the door and heard the old woman say, "I didn't agree with her taking charge of the household, but you insisted. Look, in just two weeks, the house is in chaos."
The husband apologized repeatedly, "After all, she comes from a poor family and doesn't have much experience. Mother, please take the trouble to teach her."
