What was as difficult as climbing to the sky for him was extremely easy for Yu Huan.
After she knew the reason, she just asked He Yanqing to wait and went to find the head of the He family.
Yu Huan may not have other talents, but his ability to please people and make them happy is definitely first-class.
The head of the He family is usually strict, arrogant and likes to preach. No one dares to get close to her. However, Yu Huan is not afraid at all. She can make the head of the He family laugh with just a few words.
Those rules weren't that important, they were just emphasized to show off the patriarch's authority in front of the children. Patriarch He was flattered by Yu Huan's praise, and his heart was filled with satisfaction, so he naturally relaxed.
In just a quarter of an hour, what seemed impossible to He Yanqing was solved by Yu Huan.
"Let's go." Yu Huan said to him in a cheerful tone.
At this time of year, the lotus flowers in Luoyue Lake are in full bloom. Many people go boating there to enjoy the flowers, while others drink and compose poetry in the surrounding pavilions.
He Yanqing followed her footsteps and couldn't help but look at her.
How could there be such a person in the world, with a good temperament, good looks, and being likable, as if he has no flaws at all.
And he hadn't even left the house a few times. He was dull and silent, and couldn't speak...
On Luoyue Lake, someone rented a pleasure boat to enjoy the view, but Yu Huan didn't have the money for that at the moment.
She could only take He Yanqing to watch from the bridge. Fortunately, the scenery of Luoyue Lake was nice. The green lotus leaves looked like layers of green waves, and the white and pink lotus flowers looked like they were carved out of jade, standing tall and graceful.
There are also red carps swimming among the lotus flowers and lotus leaves.
He Yanqing was almost stunned. He couldn't come back to his senses even when Yu Huan was talking to him.
There was a vendor selling lotus flowers and lotus pods by the bridge. Yu Huan could afford them, so he bought a lotus flower for He Yanqing and two lotus pods.
He Yanqing held the lotus pod somewhat helplessly. He thought dejectedly that it must be embarrassing to look like he knew nothing and had never seen anything.
Yu Huan softly taught him how to tear open the lotus pod, how to take out the lotus seeds, and how to remove the bitter lotus core...
Her voice seemed to have the power to soothe fear.
He Yanqing listened to her talk and watched her peel the lotus seeds with her slender white fingertips, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly dissipated.
Yu Huan looked up and saw that he hadn't peeled it yet. Thinking he didn't know how to do it, he gave him the peeled one and said, "Try it first. It shouldn't be bitter."
He Yanqing held the lotus seed in his hand for a long time before putting it between his lips.
There is something he is reluctant to eat.
Yu Huan tasted one himself and found it crispy and sweet.
"It's delicious." She said to He Yanqing.
He Yanqing looked at the relaxed smile between her eyebrows and nodded: "Yeah."
There are also people selling lotus meat patties by the lake, and the aroma is fragrant.
Yu Huan also wanted to eat, but she had just spent her money yesterday and didn't feel comfortable asking for more today. The money she had was only enough to buy one.
Forget it, you can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.
Yu Huan walked over, took out some silver and money, counted it, handed it to the vendor, and said, "Give me a meat pie."
"Okay, it will be ready soon." The vendor said attentively.
He Yanqing followed behind her, saw something, and whispered, "Let's have two."
"I don't want to eat it." Yu Huan shook his head repeatedly, racking his brains to find an excuse, "I don't like the meat filling inside, but you can try it and see how it tastes..."
He Yanqing looked at her pretending to be calm, and his heart felt as if it was scratched by the edge of a stone, and he felt a slight pain.
He knew the situation of the Liao family and could guess why she was in such a predicament.
He remembered that wherever she went before, she was always the most popular lady, glorious and proud. Now she has fallen to this point, and he didn't know how sad she must be.
"Take two," he whispered, rarely arguing, and took out his own silver and handed it to the vendor.
Yu Huan understood what he meant and stopped trying to save face. He just squinted his eyes and whispered, "Thank you."
How could a woman thank you so easily...
As He Yanqing thought about this, ripples began to form in his heart.
.
From then on, Yu Huan often went to see He Yanqing. Sometimes he would drink tea and play chess with him at He's house, and sometimes they would go out together to enjoy the flowers and the scenery.
Yu Huan wanted to win people's hearts, but that was not as simple as saying it. She was a talkative and cheerful person, and because of He Yanqing's different status, she would take extra care of him when he was away from home.
Sometimes, when encountering troubles, he would directly stand in front of He Yanqing;
Sometimes, even when money was tight, he would still buy the little gadgets that He Yanqing liked but didn't ask for;
Sometimes, when I attend poetry gatherings, I sincerely praise He Yanqing's poems, which he carefully crafted but was too embarrassed to show off...
She found each task easy and natural, but when He Yanqing returned home, he would always think about it until late at night.
However, although He Yanqing has little emotional experience, he has been under the strict discipline and suppression of the head of the He family since he was a child, and he does not really believe in true love in his heart.
He often had doubts, was she only like this to him? Would she always be nice to him or was she just nice to him temporarily? If she met a better man in the future, would she leave him?
In the final analysis, I just feel that I am not worthy of her love.
What really touched him was that time when he accidentally caught a cold.
There were signs of this the day before, with a constant cough, so Mr. Lin sent someone to find a doctor, but the servant came back timidly and said that there were only female doctors in Miaoshou Hall.
Thinking that the head of the He family would not agree, he could only get two prescriptions back first.
However, the doctor did not examine the patient in person and was not clear about the condition, so he prescribed a smaller dosage of the medicine. He Yanqing drank the medicine for two days, but there was no improvement. His condition even showed signs of getting worse. In the end, he lay on the couch and could not get up.
When Mr. Lin saw that it didn't look good, he immediately panicked and hurried to ask for help from the head of the He family, but the head of the He family was still asleep and didn't let anyone in.
He could only wait outside.
He Yanqing's condition was getting worse and worse. His forehead was so hot that it was almost burned. He was confused and drowsy, and felt hopeless.
I'm so tired.
His mother's teachings had exhausted him, and his father's cowardly compromise had made him lose confidence. If he continued to be like this in the future, what was the point in living?
Why not just take a nap?
When I fall asleep, all my worries disappear. I no longer have to be tense all day, and I no longer have to be so cautious...
His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he was about to fall asleep completely.
Suddenly, a voice shouted, "What's innocent or not? I don't care about that...Okay, you don't dare to go, right? I'll go."
His soul trembled at the sound.
