Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 248 Beauty
A curtain had been drawn beside the carriage, and a basket was placed over it, and the coachman stood by and waited.

Zhou Huaiyan walked to the side of the curtain, said a few words to the coachman who had been waiting for a long time, and then waved to him. The coachman bowed slightly and stepped back.

When Zhou Huaiyan was doing this, Chunqiu had already made it to the curtain that had already been laid. After walking for such a long time, Chunqiu's ankle was a little sore.

In front of Zhou Huaiyan, Chunqiu naturally did not dare to take off the shoes and socks, but stretched out his hand and kneaded it. Carefully touching the ankle, Chunqiu stroked the ankle with his left hand, and then exerted a little force, only to hear "click" With a sound, Chunqiu let go of his hand, and let his left foot shake slightly in a circle. After feeling a little sore, Chunqiu switched to his right hand and continued kneading.

When Chunqiu was finished, a pleasant male voice sounded from Chunqiu's ear, "There is a stream over there, Junior Sister can go and wash it."

Chunqiu turned his head, facing Zhou Huaiyan whose lips were raised, Chunqiu blinked, and suddenly smiled, "Senior brother is really smart, junior sister will come whenever you want."

After saying this, Chunqiu put his hands on the curtain, pushed hard, and stood up directly.

"The creek is not far ahead, junior sister moves straight forward, and you will be able to see it after a moment." Zhou Huaiyan pointed to the position directly in front of Chunqiu.

Chunqiu bowed his hands to Zhou Huaiyan and thanked Zhou Huaiyan like a mischief, although it was a bit nondescript, it looked cute.

The stream is covered in the maple forest, Chunqiu followed the direction Zhou Huaiyan pointed, bypassed the row of red maples in front, and saw the stream in front of him.

Maple leaves cover the hillside, the stream is not deep, shallow enough to reach Chunqiu’s ankles, the pebbles in the water look shimmering under the sunlight, and occasionally two maple leaves go down the water, which reminds Chunqiu of a flat boat.

Carefully rolled up the hem of the skirt, Chunqiu squatted on the stone beside him, took out the handkerchief in his arms, slightly lowered his head, soaked the handkerchief in the cool and refreshing stream, then stirred it with his fingers until it was clean Almost, Chunqiu wrung out the handkerchief and spread it on his face, the cool stream water penetrated into Chunqiu's body through the pores, quenching the heart that felt a little hot before.

Quietly closing his eyes, Chunqiu sat on the stone and raised his head, motionless, until the coolness on the handkerchief was invaded by the heat, Chunqiu had no choice but to put away the handkerchief on his face, and plunged into the stream again.

Going back and forth like this, knowing that the heat in her body was weakening, Chunqiu put down the handkerchief in her hand, and adjusted the makeup on her face in front of herself in the water. Can she say that she didn't apply rouge fortunately?Otherwise, it might be spent.

Taking off the peach blossoms on his forehead, Chunqiu untied the loose headband and tied up his hair again.

Chunqiu later realized that she had spent too much time, afraid that Zhou Huaiyan would be waiting in the same place and anxious, Chunqiu stuck out her tongue guiltily, and did not forget to clean her hands before leaving, then got up and ran back quickly.

After going through all kinds of hardships, Chunqiu finally saw the Zhou family's carriage parked beside him, and just wanted to wave happily, but Chunqiu suddenly discovered that there was actually a veiled woman next to the senior brother, "Hey, should I Hide it?" Chunqiu put down his raised hand, and unconsciously said what was in his mind at this moment.

"Oh, the two of them are here!" Chunqiu groaned strangely, and then took a step in an instant, hiding behind the maple tree beside him.

Chunqiu leaned against the maple tree, patted his chest with lingering fear, and lamented that Haoxuan was about to be discovered.

In fact, the sharp-eyed Zhou Huaiyan had already spotted her the moment she avoided it. After all, the pink skirt was also very conspicuous.

The girl on the side didn't notice anything, looked at the surrounding environment, and the girl's clear and soft voice sounded, "Mr. Zhou, the little girl came here today to express my gratitude on behalf of my father. This is also thanks to Mr. Zhou's prescription. My father His condition can get better so quickly, if there is no Mr. Zhou, my father will have to suffer more." After the girl finished speaking, with tears in her eyes, she bowed softly to the boy beside her.

Zhou Huaiyan hurriedly took two steps back, avoiding the girl's movement, and stretched out his hand to help, "Miss Chu doesn't need to be so generous to me, Master Chu's condition doesn't help me much, it's thanks to my father, Miss Chu is so kind Great filial piety, I will definitely tell my father the truth when I return to the mansion next time. In addition, it may not be good for Ms. Chu to come out alone. It’s late now, so don’t let the family worry.” The veil could not hide the beauty of the girl nodded, and then turned away from looking at her.

As the ancients said, do not look at evil, Zhou Huaiyan glanced at Miss Chu who was looking sad, and had no intention of trying to make her happy.

A girl's heart was ruthlessly extinguished like this, Miss Chu's heart was about to break, holding back her eyes, the girl looked at the handsome and beautiful young man with tears in her eyes, lowered her head and sobbed, turned her head and ran away.

Until the sound of footsteps faded away, Zhou Huaiyan turned his head and looked at the surroundings where no one was there, wondering what he was thinking about.

At this moment, a child's voice broke the silence.

"Senior brother, how can you hurt a beauty's heart like this after reading the books of sages and sages?"

Chunqiu didn't know when, she had already appeared beside Zhou Huaiyan. At this time, she was holding her hands in front of her chest, looking into the distance with sad eyes.

Zhou Huaiyan shook his head and sighed, "It's a mischief again, I just thank my father."

Chunqiu's expression remained unchanged, he turned his head to look at Zhou Huaiyan with an innocent face on the side, with a hint of hatred for iron, "Brother, don't you know that drunkards are not interested in drinking?" Chunqiu followed Zhou Huaiyan, followed closely Sit down with him.

"Senior brother is not talented and knowledgeable, I really don't know this, I wonder if junior sister can answer the question?" Zhou Huaiyan didn't blush when he said this.

Just as Chunqiu was about to speak, he got stuck, "This... junior sister doesn't know either" Chunqiu lowered his head depressed, what do you mean?Didn't senior brother see the girl's expression of friendship for him?It's obviously the rhythm of deep-rooted love.

Chunqiu didn't believe that Zhou Huaiyan didn't know, cut it, took the pastry that Zhou Huaiyan handed over, Chunqiu bit down viciously, hum, really disgusting.

While eating, Zhou Huaiyan paid attention to Chunqiu's little expression, passed the water bottle on the side, and asked with a smile, "Drink some water, be careful not to choke."

As soon as he said this, Chunqiu coughed out "cough cough cough", Zhou Huaiyan put down the pastry in his hand, and patted Chunqiu's back, "Slow down, why did you choke right after you finished speaking?"

It's not what you said, Chunqiu was coughing pear blossoms with rain, and kept complaining in his heart. He took the kettle on the side and got a glass of water, and Chunqiu poured it down, and then he felt much better.

Because of this interruption, Chunqiu didn't dare to speak, the two quietly finished eating the cakes, and then strolled around Xiaohan Mountain for a while, until the sun went down, and they left in a carriage.
