Chapter 146
After exchanging pleasantries with Mrs. Liang for a while, Mrs. Huo went back to her room to rest.
Luo Chaoyan also returned to her room. She took out a amulet from her sleeve and thought about it. Since the person had asked for it, she might as well give it to him.
She walked to the table, ground some ink, and began to write a letter.
Pineapple came in with tea and saw her writing a letter, with a slight smile on her lips.
She laughed teasingly, "Madam, you've only been away from your master for half a day, and you're already missing him?"
Luo Chaoyan glanced at her and said, "Pineapple, have you been eating too much meat recently?" It seemed that this girl was becoming more and more greasy.
Fengli shuddered and said, "Young Madam, please don't wrongly accuse me. I have lost weight recently!"
In order to prove her innocence, she lifted up her sleeve, exposed her wrist and stretched it out.
"Look, Madam, it's a lot thinner than before!"
Luo Chaoyan looked at her wrist, which was as thick as ever, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "Is this different from before?"
Fengli nodded quickly, looking proud, and said: "Of course, before it was puffy, now it is strong."
Luo Chaoyan's face twitched when she heard this, and she was too lazy to pay attention to the girl's sophistry.
After writing the letter, he put the amulet in an envelope and asked her to send someone back home.
Pineapple nodded happily and walked out with the letter. She was very happy to see this kind of thing.
When Huo An ran in, he saw her walking out with a smile on her face. He lit up and threw himself on Luo Chaoyan, saying, "Mother, have you and Sister Fengli thought of what delicious food to make?"
Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is a temple, where can we get any delicious food?"
Huo An thought about it and felt that this was true, and he sighed softly.
Luo Chaoyan asked: "Why don't you go play with your brother?"
Huo An snorted and said, "I won't play with them!" His brothers were playing Cuju outside, but they disliked him for running slowly and refused to play with him.
Luo Chaoyan smiled when she heard this and said, "Then mother will take you out to play!"
Huo An's eyebrows lit up immediately and he nodded vigorously: "Okay!" He looked outside the door cautiously and said: "Mother, we'll do it secretly!"
Luo Chaoyan blinked, tapped his nose, and said with a smile: "An An, a real man can't be so stingy!"
Huo An shook his head, looking serious, and said, "Mom, I'm only two and a half years old. I'm still a child."
Luo Chaoyan choked and said, okay, you are younger, you are the oldest.
She asked Huo An to wait for her outside while she changed into lighter clothes.
After she changed her clothes and pushed the door open, she saw Huo Rui and others coming over.
When they saw that she had changed her clothes, obviously dressed for going out, their eyes suddenly sparkled.
Huo Rui asked: "Mother, where are you going?"
Luo Chaoyan looked at Huo An and saw his face fall. She couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard there is a big peach tree behind the west yard. An An and I plan to pick some peaches."
"Let's go too!" Huo Ze and Huo Shun shouted happily.
"Then let's go!"
…
When they arrived at the west backyard, Luo Chaoyan and others saw that the peach tree was full of fruits, and each peach was plump and pink, making them salivate.
Huo Shun exclaimed: "This peach tree is growing really well."
Everyone nodded.
Huo Ze saw a few red silks on the peach branches, which seemed to have words written on them. He was curious and asked, "Look, what are those?"
Huo Yu rubbed his chin and said, "It looks like a silk ribbon for making wishes!"
Huo Rui raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could this be a peach tree where people can make wishes?"
Huo Ze asked, "Then what are you praying for?" He hadn't yet said that one could make a wish under the peach tree.
Huo Yu said: "What else could it be? Of course it's fate!"
Huo Ze suddenly realized and said, "Oh, right, peach blossom! Peach blossom means praying for good luck in love."
"So should we maybe have one?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Huo Ze, you... you actually have a girl you like?"
Huo Ze hurriedly shook his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "How can that be possible? This is for the future!"
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Luo Chaoyan coughed lightly and said, "You are still young for this. For now, you should give the book to Nian Hao first." You are just children. Why do you have to think about premature love and luck with women?
Huo Rui frowned and said, "Can we still pick peaches?"
Luo Chaoyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Fengli asked the monk in the temple, and he said that this tree is not a sacred tree for worship or anything like that, but you can pick the fruits." It's just that those infatuated men and women are seeking psychological comfort.
Huo Rui raised his hands and rubbed them, then climbed up the tree nimbly.
Huo Shun and Huo Ze followed closely behind.
This peach tree has many branches and is not difficult to climb.
Luo Chaoyan asked them to be careful.
Huo An found it very fun to see his brothers jumping up and down, so he slowly climbed up despite Luo Chaoyan's objections.
But he knew he was small, so he didn't dare to climb high, so he just climbed to the largest fork of the peach tree.
Seeing this, Luo Chaoyan had no choice but to climb up and accompany him to prevent him from falling down if he wasn't paying attention.
Huo Rui, Huo Shun and Huo Ze were on the same branch, while Huo Yu was on another branch.
Huo Rui picked a few big peaches and threw them carefully to Luo Chaoyan.
In order to keep steady, Luo Chaoyan could only catch two. She wiped them gently with a handkerchief and handed one to Huo An.
The mother and son swung their legs and ate peaches leisurely.
Just as they were eating happily, Luo Chaoyan saw two men walking towards them.
She shushed the kids softly and pointed at the two men.
Huo Rui and the others quieted down and looked at the two men.
Huh? Isn’t that Gu Er? Luo Chaoyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect to meet Gu Er here.
Gu Ling straightened his clothes, then struck a pose that he thought could highlight his charm, and said to the servant, "How about this pose, is it elegant?"
The servant's lips twitched, and he said, "Uh... Master, you are handsome, and you look good in any posture."
Gu Ling suddenly felt a little proud. He looked around and said, "Are you sure Miss Shi will come here?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I have confirmed it."
Gu Ling fantasized about expressing his love to the girl he liked beside this peach tree, and felt a little excited.
The servant said, "Master, I will go and keep watch for you now."
Gu Ling nodded and waved his hand to signal him to go quickly.
After seeing the servant leave, Gu Ling started practicing posing by himself, hoping that his sweetheart would see him and fall in love with him.
Luo Chaoyan almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw him making some cocky gestures. He is indeed a middle school boy. Even his way of expressing his feelings is so middle school. But he just mentioned Miss Shi, could it be that the person Gu Er likes is Shi Mengdie?
Soon the servant came running over and said to Gu Ling, "Master, Miss Shi is here."
"Coming?" Gu Ling looked around in panic.
"Help me quickly to see if there is anything wrong with me?"
The servant helped him straighten his collar and said, "Master, it's already perfect."
Gu Ling raised his chin and said, "Okay, then quickly find a place to hide."
He looked expectant and confident, and said, "Just wait for my good news." m.
After the servant left, he shook his sleeves, turned his back, held a folding fan in one hand, put the other hand behind his back, and held his head high.
When people look at him from behind, it's like looking at a handsome and elegant young man looking up in deep thought.
When Shi Mengdie came over with a maid, she saw this back figure.
She didn't expect that someone would come here. She looked at the red silk in her hand and felt regretful. It seemed that she couldn't pray today.
When she was about to leave with the maid, she saw the man turn around.
The maidservant beside Shi Mengdie frowned when she saw Gu Ling looking at her daughter with burning eyes. This man looked like a decent person, could he be a pervert?
Gu Ling bowed to Shi Mengdie and said, "Miss Shi!"
Shi Mengdie was a little surprised. She seemed to have never seen this young man before.
Seeing her confusion, Gu Ling smiled and explained, "My name is Gu Ling. I have heard of Miss Shi from Kyoto for a long time, so I recognize her."
Shi Mengdie nodded at him calmly, "Master Gu!"
Then, not wanting to have any more contact, he turned around and left.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Gu Ling hurried forward to block her way.
Seeing that he was so rude, Shi Mengdie's maid shouted, "Sir, what do you want to do?"
Gu Ling bowed to Shi Mengdie and said, "Miss Shi, I... I really admire your talent, I..."
