Miss Difficult to Marry

Who is this 'she' referring to, Qiu Yun naturally knows.

"Miss."

Qiu Yun used a hosta hairpin to tie her green silk into a small Liuyun bun, and said: "Miss, you haven't slept well these days, and you have become so thin, I'm afraid it's too late for you to be distressed, how could it be?" I think you are not good-looking."

"Really?" Qin Yuzhen recalled the man's delicate eyebrows and eyes, and couldn't help lowering his eyes.Last night, she thought about the things between the two of them a lot, and she had already thought about some things that should be said in her heart. Since she couldn't let go of this relationship, then the two of them had to discuss things in the future. .

The big maids in the east courtyard are still called Uncle Chen Qingyu, because they haven't changed their words, so even the little maids and wives below only recognize Young Master Rong as Uncle Rong.

Hui'er and two maidservants brought in water, hot water and hot handkerchiefs. After Qin Yuzhen finished washing, she applied makeup to the mirror.

Qiu Jun opened the makeup box, stroked the eyebrows lightly for her, and dabbed the rouge finely.

Qin Yuzhen looked at the hairpins on the dressing table, and said, "These hairpins look a little plain, go find the butterfly hairpin inlaid with turquoise."

A woman is someone who pleases herself, this Miss Qin is going to dress up well today.

Qiu Jun saw that she was in a much better mood, so he responded and went to the house to look through the box.That jade hairpin is precious, its color is snowy and crystal clear, even Miss Qin herself doesn't wear it easily.Qin Yuzhen thought about the scene after the two met, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"The color of this rouge is also thin, and then even it out again..."

It was quite cold today, so Hui'er came in and rummaged through the cabinets, and found a thicker water-red satin dress.

Qin Yuzhen was born with a beautiful figure and a good figure. After finishing her makeup, she changed into her clothes and skirts. From top to bottom, her whole body was glamorous and charming.

Qiu Yun put away the makeup box and said, "Miss, you see, this meeting is much better. My uncle will be very happy to see you later."

Qin Yuzhen's heart moved, she turned around leisurely, her eyes narrowed, "...I want you to talk more."

Hui'er asked happily from the side: "Miss, shall we go after breakfast or wait until after Chen Shi?"

Qin Yuzhen stroked the tassels hanging on the skirt, "Go early and come back early, so that no one will have to wait too long."

"Got it, miss."

After Qin Yuzhen finished speaking, she thought of something again, and asked Qiu Yun: "Did you ask someone to deliver that letter last night?"

"Miss, don't worry, believe me, someone sent it overnight. From here to Lianzhou, it will take only half a month."

……

The servant in the front yard heard that the young lady was going out today, and he had already prepared a soft sedan chair before the hour.

At two o'clock, Miss Qin, who walked out of the main entrance with a graceful waist, stepped into the sedan chair gracefully.This time when I went out, besides a few bearers and long entourages, I also followed a few personal servant girls.

After the beginning of winter, the weather is getting colder day by day. Although there is no strong north wind, the chill is severe. Once people leave the house, their hands and feet will be frozen.

However, the Lianhua Pavilion in Nancheng is not too far from here. From here, look southwest and go out of the corner of the street and walk on Qibali Road. After crossing a bridge in the upper reaches of the Cuihe River, and then walk a few miles to the east, you can see A small lake, not far from the lake there is a pavilion called Lotus Pavilion.

Qin Yuzhen was helped out of the sedan chair by Huier Qiujun.Because the weather is cold at this time, few people come here.

Hui'er looked around, and said with some disappointment: "Miss, did we come early, my uncle hasn't come yet."

Qin Yuzhen looked at the empty pavilion, "Let's wait first."

After entering the pavilion, Hui'er diligently took out a piece of silk and wiped the stool inside clean, "Miss, sit down, I brought some cakes, you can try them later."

"Put it here."

Qin Yuzhen sat down facing the lake. At this moment, the lake in front of him was crystal clear. If it was summer, there would be lotus and lotus leaves on the water here, pagoda willows and willows on the bank, so at least there would be something to see.But now it's winter, it's cold, the lotus in the lake is withered, the vegetation by the lake is withered, there are only some wild grasses left around, except for an old willow growing obliquely on the bank, there is really no eye-catching sight.

But it doesn't matter in the slightest, Qin Yuzhen didn't want to enjoy the scenery at all, she sat quietly in the pavilion and only waited for visitors.

Outside the pavilion, a few boys and maids were talking and chatting not far away.

The place here is a bit remote, and it's the cold early winter season, except for one or two people who occasionally pass by with loads, there are not many pedestrians on the road at all.

Time passed little by little, from Chen Shi to Si Shi, but no one came yet.

Several servant girls squatted or stood, although they were gossiping, they opened their eyes and looked around from time to time.

It's time for this uncle to come.

At noon, the sun was faintly appearing in the sky.Qin Yuzhen sat quietly in the pavilion, and the pastries that Hui'er put on the stone table for her were still intact.

After more than half an hour, apart from the sound of the wind, there was not even a single person in sight.A boy squatting on the ground couldn't bear it anymore, he asked Qiu Yun softly: "Miss Qiu Yun, look, we have been waiting for more than two hours, why hasn't the uncle come yet?"

Qiu Yun was also at a loss. She looked at Qin Yuzhen who was still looking into the distance, and could only say, "Maybe something has caught me. It's going to be a long day, why are you so anxious."

"oh".The young man scratched his head embarrassingly, and Hui'er beside him interjected dissatisfiedly: "It's still, it's windy and cold here. Let's just wait like this, and we don't know how long it will take."

Qiu Yun held back his breath and said: "You damn girl, I told you not to talk, so as not to make the young lady angry again, now you are here to make a fuss again."

Hui'er murmured, "What time is it? That uncle should come anyway...Miss didn't even eat a few bites of breakfast in the morning, so it's possible that she didn't even need lunch."

Qiu Yun was helpless, what could she do.If my aunt wants to come, this meeting should indeed come.

But in case...

Thinking of this, Qiu Yun couldn't help shivering.If the uncle really doesn't come, it will be difficult.

She thought for a while, then walked into the pavilion and asked in a low voice: "Miss, otherwise, let's go back first, just ask people to wait here, if the uncle comes, we will know."

The gray winter sky weighed heavily on the water, and Qin Yuzhen stared fixedly at the lake without any expression on his face.She is not going anywhere now, she is waiting for that person here.

Qiu Yun didn't wait for Qin Yuzhen's words, so he had to retreat silently, and the few people were relatively speechless.

Waiting for someone is long and lonely, after one hour passes, another hour passes.

From morning to now, Qin Yuzhen has been waiting for five full hours.The whole day, she has been waiting here.

The wind is rustling, the surroundings are silent, and the sky is covered by dark clouds, and the sky is about to gradually darken.

The girls and servants outside the pavilion became more and more depressed. They waited silently, but no one dared to speak anymore. Even Hui'er, who was always talkative, now kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

Because everyone knows that this uncle will not come.

The sky dimmed little by little, but the person who was supposed to come never came.

There was silence in the twilight.Qin Yuzhen's face was white and her lips were red, but her eyes were gloomy. Now she only felt that she was in a cold and dark winter night. The biting cold made her hold her arms tightly tremblingly.

Qiu Yun looked a little sad, and if he waited any longer, it would be dark soon.She stood for a while, then walked cautiously into the pavilion and whispered, "Miss? It's already this time, why, why don't we go back first."

Qin Yuzhen didn't know how long she had been waiting. Sitting here, she felt as if she had waited forever.She was in a trance, the man's unfeeling gave her a heavy blow, she raised her head, her eyes were no longer bright "...Qiu Jun, she didn't come."

Qiu Yun thought of the figure of that person who turned and left yesterday, and his heart turned cold.

That person won't come, and she won't see Qin Yuzhen again.That's right, how did she promise Qin Yuzhen to come yesterday? All of this is just wishful thinking of the person in front of her.

She bit her lips tightly, "...Miss, let's go, let's go back."

-----------------------

Since late September, the weather has become colder and colder in just a few days.When the north wind comes together, it is a burst of chill.Even if there is no snow, the wind blows people's bone-chilling cold.

In the past few days, the Qin family has been in a hurry up and down.

Ever since Qin Yuzhen came back that day, she began to fall ill that night.Xu Shi suffered from the wind and cold that day. Although she got up early the next day and drank some soup and medicine, her illness came like a mountain. In less than two days, not only did she not get better, but her illness became more and more serious.

On the white stone road in the east courtyard, Hui'er hurriedly urged an old doctor with a gray beard, "Hurry up, please."

"You, let me rest for a while. It's not easy for me to travel so far." The old doctor supported his waist and gasped.

Hui'er cried and said, "You don't need to rest, my young lady has been ill for a few days, if you don't hurry up, it will be bad."

"All right, all right, girl, don't worry, let's go, just go."

The old doctor has no choice but to diagnose and save people is not to put out the fire, it will happen in a short time, so there may be no serious problems.

A burner of sandalwood was burning in the main room of the east courtyard, and there was a noren curtain outside. Qiu Yun and a few girls were guarding the bedside.

Under the quilt of bright red cloud satin, Qin Yuzhen, who had been ill for several days, fell asleep peacefully with her eyes closed.

……

"Miss?"

"Miss?" Wake up first. "

Qiu Yun softly called her to wake up, Qin Yuzhen had been in a coma for too long, from last night to the present, not only did she not drink a sip of the boiled medicinal soup, she did not even take a sip of rice soup.

After hearing the voice, Qin Yuzhen opened her eyes slightly, and slowly scanned the room with her eyes.

"Miss." Hui'er whispered next to the edge of the bed, "The doctor is here."
