Chapter 57
Looking at the snow falling in the sky, Jian Xinyi felt a little sad for some reason.
I remember it snowed heavily when I first came here.
Although her life is better now, she often thinks back to the past recently.
She looked at the snowflakes flying in the distance, and before she knew it, the ink had already stained the paper.
Jian Xinyi calmed herself down and had no choice but to continue painting the snowflakes.
It was the dead of winter, and the heroine and the indifferent man came to Tangquan Palace to bathe together.
Although it was snowing heavily, Tangquan Palace was warm and cozy at this time.
The hot spring pool was filled with mist, and the snowflakes merged with the water before they even hit the ground.
The heroine was half immersed in the pool. Seeing the snow getting heavier, she quickly got out of the pool and returned to the yard.
There was no sign of the indifferent man in the yard.
Just when she was wondering, she heard the man walking out from the side of the hot spring pool and taking out some fresh fruits to hand to her.
The heroine naturally knew what he was thinking, but she decided to take advantage of his situation and quietly walked behind him, ready to scare him off guard.
Just as she was about to reach out and push him away, he grabbed her with his backhand.
The water in the hot spring pool is already hot, and with this hug, the temperature of the two people becomes even hotter.
Seeing that her plan failed, the heroine ran away with shame and anger on her face.
The indifferent man had no choice but to take the fruits and follow her all the way to the bedroom, bowed his head to admit his mistake, and then washed and cut the fruits carefully to temporarily appease the heroine.
At the beginning of the new year, fireworks begin to bloom.
He quietly took her hand and blew out the candle.
It’s a pity that the subsequent plot cannot be continued, and Jian Xinyi feels deeply ashamed.
He happily packed up the drawings, and when the snow stopped, he began to ask Lao Lin to print the book.
But unexpectedly, Lao Lin not only brought back the book, but also brought back two people.
"Zhuiyu, look who's back?"
Old Lin was happily holding a man's hand, and a slightly tired-looking woman followed behind him.
Jian Xinyi hurried forward and called out, "Cousin, Brother Douzi."
As soon as the woman saw Zhuiyu, her eyes lit up, the fatigue on her face disappeared, and she took her hand.
"Oh, Zhuiyu has grown so big."
Old Lin was also in high spirits and took them into his house.
"As soon as Zhuiyu heard you were coming, she told me the news. I waited and hoped for you for a long time during the New Year holidays. Finally, you have arrived safely."
"Alas." When mentioning the heavy snow, my cousin sighed, "It's been snowing heavily these past few days, and it scared my mother and me. But since we're already here, there's no reason to go back halfway."
After saying that, he poked his cousin behind him with his hand.
"Bean, give your sister what you have in your hand."
Brother Douzi has grown very tall now, but he looks very shy and keeps his head down.
My cousin pouted, looking very distressed. "Look at him, he looks like sorghum hit by frost. I've spoiled my son. He's nowhere near as considerate as Zhuiyu."
"No way, the villagers say that Douzi people are strong and can help you with work."
Lao Lin just laughed and patted Douzi on the head.
Several people walked through the hallway and praised the brand new house highly.
"Oh, this new house is huge. It must have cost you a lot of money."
The blatant praise arrived as promised, and a subtle smile appeared on Lao Lin's face.
"No, I traded it with someone else for the house at the back."
When my cousin heard what Lao Lin said, she was a little surprised, but after a while, she continued talking about the same thing.
"You have to be capable enough to let someone else change you."
While the two of them were exchanging pleasantries, they cleaned up the guest room thoroughly.
Jian Xinyi didn't help at all, it was almost all done by her cousin.
Old Lin sat aside, holding an empty teacup. He looked around and told her, "Zhuiyu, go get your cousin a glass of water."
She accepted the order and couldn't refuse.
But on the way, I was thinking that Lao Lin could do something well by himself, but he had to let others do it.
I don't know if there's anything else to say.
Or is it that he simply wants to find an excuse to give her a job because he thinks she has no tact?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She got the water but didn't go in. Instead, she secretly listened to their discussion outside the door.
"Xiaoqin, you and I are not strangers, there is nothing you can't tell me."
"Cousin, I really can't make the decision on this matter alone. I originally brought Beans to visit you this time, and I didn't expect it to get to this level."
"You've grown up, I thought you were here just for this."
Jian Xinyi heard the footsteps getting closer inside the door, turned around, went down the corridor, and watched from the side.
Lao Lin came out of the house, his face looking a little heavy, without the cheerfulness he had before.
"Then go back and think about it carefully. This matter is quite urgent."
My cousin seemed to be in trouble as well. She rubbed the corner of her clothes back and forth, and forced a smile as she watched Lao Lin walk back. Suddenly, she saw her come out again and she stepped back abruptly.
"Zhuiyu, the water is here."
He spoke in a breathy voice.
Jian Xinyi responded, took the kettle in, and asked her casually.
"Cousin, what did my father say to you just now?"
My cousin's face looked even worse. If it were summer, she would probably be sweating profusely.
"Nothing. Your father told me to stay in the city and not return to the village. I haven't agreed to it yet."
"Oh. I see."
It seems that my cousin is not telling the truth, so it must be related to her.
Jian Xinyi didn't bother to get to the bottom of the matter and wisely left.
But what could it be about?
She lowered her head, a bold idea coming to her mind.
But considering Lao Lin's personality, is this possible?
After returning to the bedroom, Jian Xinyi became more and more confused. She couldn't calm down even when sitting at the table. Just as she was about to go out to find out what was going on, she accidentally bumped into the corner of the table.
In an instant, the drawings on the table flew out in all directions, dancing in the small room.
Jian Xinyi subconsciously reached out to pick them up, but ended up pushing the drawings further away.
Facing the sunlight, the flying dust and manuscripts rose and fell in the bedroom, mesmerizing her eyes.
She had to wait until all the drawings were finished before she could put them away one by one and put them in the drawer.
As soon as I opened the drawer, the aroma of tea hit my nose.
She took out the innermost sachet ball and looked thoughtful.
But suddenly, Lao Lin shouted from outside the door, breaking Jian Xinyi's thoughts.
"Zhuiyu, someone is looking for you."
Jian Xinyi was confused, but she just thought that Yuanyuan came to see her. She stuffed the things in her hand into her sleeves and went out.
But as soon as I reached the door, I saw Qian Yuan standing there with an extremely serious expression.
For no reason, Jian Xinyi suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
"Who was that man walking with your father just now?"
Qian Yuan looked towards the house, quite dissatisfied.
Jian Xinyi felt that this person was making a big deal out of nothing and gave him a slap on the head.
"My cousin, come and visit during the New Year."
But this movement was not a big deal, but it caused the sachet ball on the cuff to fall off.
Jian Xinyi instinctively imagined a scene of Shura in her mind, and looked at the ground helplessly, trying not to look him in the eye.
When she looked up again, the man was indeed looking at her leisurely with an angry expression.
"What is this?"
Before Jian Xinyi could answer, he had already figured out who had done this, and his expression suddenly darkened.
"When did you get in touch with him?"
"King Geng?"
Jian Xinyi wanted to take the sachet, but Qian Yuan held it tightly, so she had to let go.
"I offended someone before, and he helped me out."
Qian Yuan's rage intensified after hearing this. He couldn't control his anger and asked her loudly, "Just because you've rescued him, can you take his things?"
"I didn't ask for it, he just forced it on me."
"He originally had ulterior motives, and now that he's hooking up with you, there's no guarantee he isn't trying to use you."
Jian Xinyi was already wondering why he came here today, but he never told her the reason and instead kept questioning her at the door.
So there was a bit more anger.
"What's the matter with you? If so, tell me what you are talking about."
In the end, Qian Yuan compromised and got down to business.
"The Queen Mother wants you to go to the palace."
"Enter the palace?"
Although Jian Xinyi knew this day would eventually come, she didn't expect it to happen so soon. "Have you mentioned us to the Queen?"
"yes."
She made up her mind, closed her eyes, and didn't want to face all this.
"Just go ahead, I'll take care of you."
"Can....."
Jian Xinyi obviously wanted to ask more questions, but she heard Qian Yuan coughing slightly and looking pale. Not knowing what was going on, she quickly asked, "Are you sick?"
"without."
He didn't tell the truth.
"On the seventh day of the lunar year, there will be a Qionghua Banquet. I will have someone pick you up from the mansion then."
He left after he finished speaking, without giving Jian Xinyi a chance to ask more questions.
But the few coughs afterwards really made Jian Xinyi worried.
But she is just an ordinary woman now, how can she know what happened in the palace?
After thinking it over for a while, she decided to visit someone with the new extra chapter.
"Miss Lin, why are you here?"
Aunt Yan walked out of the side door of the Qi Mansion and looked at her with a smile, "If there is anything, just let me know when I go to the bookstore."
"This is a new extra, I quickly sent it to you, Miss."
Jian Xinyi took out the extra copy from her arms, but didn't rush to give it to her. She just asked, "Is the young lady here?"
"Yes, please come in with me."
Aunt Yan led her to Miss Qi's bedroom. Miss Qi happened to be reading a book in the room. When she saw her, she put down the book.
"Zhuiyu, it's been a while since we last met. You've lost a bit of weight."
"Really? Maybe he's been busy lately."
Jian Xinyi smiled softly and handed over the extra chapter in her arms. "After I finished it, I thought about what to draw, but I couldn't figure out how to start. Now it's after the New Year that I finally finished drawing this extra chapter."
Since Miss Qi got the new book, she immediately went to read it happily.
“The paintings are becoming more and more detailed.”
Jian Xinyi lowered her head and said nothing.
Miss Qi also noticed that something was wrong with her, but she didn't think much of it and slowly put the book down.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the bookstore, or...?"
Jian Xinyi understood that the only one who could help her now was Miss Qi.
"It's me, I want to ask Miss for a favor."
