Give Way
The quiet country roads are filled with a donkey cart and a horse cart, and it is hard not to notice each other.
The distance from the town to the fork in the road is not long, so Lin Xian didn't notice anything unusual, only knew that there was a carriage behind him. But after turning to the trail, his wife and daughters still did not laugh as much as before. He was surprised and turned around and asked, "Why are you talking now?"
Lin Chongjiu's face was confused. He didn't dare to say anything without his mother and sisters.
Liu and her husband had a second daughter. She was afraid that the people in the car behind would not be able to explain her, so she just signaled her husband to look at her eldest daughter with her eyes.
Aji's face was very hot.
She knew that her family didn't speak because she was too reserved. She didn't want to ruin her mother's sister's interest. The feeling of being watched became more and more obvious. She didn't want to judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain, but the man's eyes were too sharp. When she thought that he might be staring at her, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Lin Xian didn't understand it very much.
Lin Zhu saw that his elder sister's cheeks became redder and her chin was almost touching her chest that was shaking slightly because of the bumpy donkey cart. She felt unbearable, and she tilted her head and said to her father in a low voice: "Dad, the carriage behind us is too close to us. The person sitting inside is Mr. Zhao, the eldest sister..."
Lin Xian immediately understood and looked at it again. The carriage was indeed a little close.
He knew the eldest daughter's temperament very well, especially after getting engaged with Meng Zhongjing, she was reluctant to go out easily. If her aunt had not had her beloved orchid, she would probably not have gone this time.
That young master Zhao... is about the same age as Meng Zhongjing, so he should indeed avoid taboos.
Lin Xian turned back as he finished chatting and looked around. This road could accommodate two carriages in parallel, but the road was empty and there was no one. He was used to walking in the middle. Perhaps the other party wanted to surpass them, but because of etiquette, he didn't catch up?
"Driving..." Lin Xian whispered softly, patted the donkey's butt with a whip pole, letting the car go aside, and giving up half the way.
Zhao Chen saw the movements in front clearly in the car.
He looked at the orchid bonsai, then at the obviously uneven path on the left side of the donkey cart, and asked Chen Ping: "Can you go smoothly?"
Chen Ping shook his head, "It can bump some points." The middle of the road is quite flat. Because it is next to the fields on both sides, some areas are almost equal to the fields and ditches. There are also mixed soil and weeds thrown out by farmers on the road.
Zhao Chen whispered.
Chen Ping nodded and then said, "Thank you for your kindness to give way. But my young master bought three pots of orchid bonsai today. He told the younger ones to rather slow down than avoid bumps, so he can drive slowly. The master can just drive at will, so there is no need to worry about us."
He suddenly spoke, and the five members of the Lin family were stunned for a moment.
Liu was a little embarrassed. She originally thought that Mr. Zhao was not like a frivolous person. She reminded her husband because her eldest daughter was too uncomfortable. Now that she took the initiative to give way, she didn't know what the other party would think.
Aji completely blushed. Sure enough, she thought too much. The other party loved and cherished flowers, and walking slowly had nothing to do with her.
Lin Xian replied cheerfully: "So that's it. Lin is still worried that we will walk slowly and delay the nobleman's itinerary. Now we can finally feel at ease."
Both sides found a high-sounding reason. After a few greetings, they quickly became silent and continued to walk slowly one after another.
After confirming that the other party was not interested in following, in order to understand the embarrassment of the eldest daughter, Liu began to talk and asked her if she had seen new orchids at her aunt's house. It was better to say something than to say nothing. Aju forced herself to ignore the feeling of being watched, and started chatting with her mother seriously.
Her voice was soft, and Zhao Chen was separated by a certain distance and could not hear clearly. He could only see her red lips opening and closing.
He stared at the farm girl, a little lost.
When I first met that day, I just glanced at it, as if I had been walking in the wasteland for too long, and a beautiful wild flower suddenly appeared on the side of the road. No one would stop to admire it, and I would not think too much after passing by. When I met again, I was in Pinlanju. Through the gauze curtain, he saw her sitting inside, quietly like a person in the painting. I don’t know if she was so beautiful that she was unforgettable or if she had a good memory, but he recognized her at first sight. He originally wanted to pick calligraphy and paintings in the study, but because of this accidental encounter, he couldn’t help but walk towards her.
I noticed her first, and then found the orchid.
He was familiar with all kinds of orchids, but he had never seen it before. When he was surprised, he heard her murmuring. It was the comment of the first-class vocabulary when the Jiangnan flower farmers paid tribute. He was shocked by a rural girl who knew the new words "Picking orchids" in the palace, and doubted that the orchid was true or false, so he asked her directly.
Who would have thought she...
Although Zhao Chen was in a downturn in the past few years, whenever he went out, there would always be girls favoring him. That day, the woman saw that he was wearing a jade pendant. He thought she was staring at him like his younger brother for a long time. Today, she took the initiative to ask questions. Based on her previous experience, she guessed that she would probably be surprised or shy. Unexpectedly, she just replied indifferently, not only did she not answer, but she also wanted to push him to those stupid maids who could only parrot.
Although he was unhappy, he was a stranger after all, so he was too lazy to bother with her.
When waiting for the guy to carry the bonsai, he found that she was peeping at him. Zhao Chen suddenly understood that this girl actually had something to do with him, and she was cold and just wanted to retreat to advance?
He had no choice but to disdain for this, but the two cars left the town at the same time. When he was idle, he asked Chen Ping to lean out, wanting to see what other tricks she would do. He has been influenced by the dirty things in the mansion since he was a child, and he has never experienced the more advanced methods of the farm girl.
He stared at her.
She looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, sitting in the car with her legs slanted, covering her embroidered shoes. Her upper body was straightened, leaning against the car board, and the donkey cart was bumping. Her body shook lightly, and her chest was bulging and trembling...
Zhao Chen opened his eyes.
He came to the countryside at the age of nine. When he grew up, his mother did not arrange for him to have sex. He did not value desire, nor did he think about tampering with the maids around him, and would not look at them more. So today, it happened that for the first time he knew what the girl looked like when she moved.
What was about to come was uncontrollable, he watched Orchid calm down, and after a while he looked up at her again.
This time he only looked at her face.
The girl lowered her head, her face was red, and she was really a furong face. She said she was shy, but she frowned and her lips were pursed, which seemed to be more ashamed and annoyed.
Did you find him looking at her?
Zhao Chen didn't believe it very much, until her father turned around and rushed the donkey cart aside, the meaning was self-evident.
At this time, Zhao Chen truly understood that this girl really didn't want him to see her. Otherwise, why didn't she turn around once if she had been together for so long, even if she pretended to look back unintentionally?
Why did she peek at him when Pinlan Ju outside?
The fragrance of orchid suddenly floated over. Zhao Chen lowered his head and met the first-class plant. He suddenly realized that she was looking at the flower.
This truth made Zhao Chen feel a little uncomfortable. It turned out that it was not her retreat to advance, but that he was self-indulgent.
After being embarrassed, she was curious. With his appearance and wealth, wasn't she at all moved?
He looked at it again.
Suddenly another gust of wind blew, lifting up the gauze curtain.
Aji kept paying attention to the back. When she saw the gauze curtain move, she couldn't help but look at it, just in time for the man's exploring and focused gaze.
Although the gauze curtain fell down quickly, the moment of looking at Aji was enough to make him sure that the other party was indeed looking at her, which was definitely not an illusion.
Aji could no longer tolerate it. Not to mention that he had already been engaged, even if he didn't, how could he be so rude?
But this road was not hers. He insisted on walking behind, and she had no choice.
Aji was both annoyed and anxious. Suddenly, she saw her sister's belt dancing with the wind, and she had an idea.
She took out the veil and pretended to wipe her sweat. She deliberately let go of her hand when she was about to touch her forehead, and the veil was blown away by the wind.
"Stop quickly, the Aji handkerchief fell down!" When Mrs. Liu saw it, she shouted quickly. It was the orchid handkerchief her aunt gave today, and the authentic Su embroidery of the best silk, worth several taels of silver.
Aji also looked back and saw the handkerchief landing on the ridge of the fields, and whispered: "Dad, park the car on the side of the road, I'll pick it up."
Both mother and daughter urged Lin Xian quickly stopped the cart and then led the donkey cart to the edge of the ground to avoid delaying the trip to the cart behind.
The car had just stopped and before Aji got off the car, Lin Chongjiu rushed to jump from the front seat and said crisply: "Sister, sit down, I'll help you pick it up!"
My younger brother went down, so Aji sat in the car and waited.
Seeing that Chen Ping slowed down, Lin Xian bowed to him and said, "We have to delay it if we have something to do, little brothers, let's go first!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Everyone gave up the road, and Chen Ping knew how to answer without asking for instructions. After thanking him, he avoided the left and still rushed to the car slowly.
The carriage slowly surpassed the donkey carriage.
Zhao Chen had no expression on his face. After a moment, he looked back.
After the car, the boy had already sat back next to his elder sister and was handing her a veil. The girl lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was saying to her brother, and her smile was as bright as a flower.
Zhao Chen stared at her, turned around and sat down before she looked up.
He heard the woman call her Aju, Aju... it was indeed a farm girl.
But she didn't use any means to attract his attention, and she just used the means to avoid him without any trace.
Do you think of him as a disciple?
If he was really a disciple, he could throw something down and land it behind them again, continue to stare at her, open the curtains, look at her face and look at her... She was blushing and could not hide.
But he was not. He disdained to do that, and she was not worthy of his down-face.
About two quarters of an hour later, a small road appeared next to the road ahead. Lin Xian drove a donkey cart and returned to the village.
There was gradually no movement behind him. Zhao Chen turned around and saw the donkey cart heading towards a village on a small path.
He was idle and kept staring at the donkey cart, even though the distance was so far that he couldn't see the people on the cart.
The donkey cart entered the village, walked slowly north along the west path of the village, walked to the last street in the north of the village, and turned in again. As for where they stopped, Zhao Chen could not see it.
I must have lived on that street.
Thinking of her shameful and annoyed look, Zhao Chen sneered, if he was really a disciple and wanted to bully her, she thought she could escape?
