Chapter 292 Full of expectations
In Gengchen's room, the ancestral land of the snake clan, he was half leaning on the bed, holding a jade slip in his hand, and looking down, the light blue bed curtain had been lifted, and tied into two beautiful knots. At both ends, when Qing Dai came in, what she saw was the young man's concentration, she couldn't help smiling.
"It's getting late, read a book at this time, watch your eyes carefully." As she spoke, she came to Geng Chen with a brocade box.
"Aunt Qing," seeing her, Geng Chen showed a smile on his face, he closed the letter in his hand, raised his hand and was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed to meet her, "Why are you here?"
"Don't move!" Seeing him like this, Qing Dai immediately made two steps in three steps, ran to the bed, put the brocade box in her hand on the desk beside her, and pressed Geng Chen with both hands, "You have injuries, You don't need to be too polite."
"Yes." Hearing her concern, Geng Chen could not help but feel warm in his heart, and nodded slightly.
"Good boy, how do you feel?" Qing Dai pulled the quilt up and covered Geng Chen's chest, then tucked the corner of the quilt for him, sat beside him, reached out and gently tied his ears The broken hair on the side, softly said.
"After resting for two days, I feel much better than before." Geng Chen's injury is actually not healed, but he just didn't want to make her worry too much, so he said a word of relief.
"Aunt Qing, you have just recovered from a serious injury, so you should take a good rest." Geng Chen cared about her.
"It's okay, I'm fine," Qing Dai smiled, she lifted Geng Chen's right hand to hold it, and patted it lightly, "This time it's thanks to you, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even see Jiao'er for the last time." Not to mention today," she was filled with emotion when she mentioned this.
"Aunt Qing is auspicious, she will be fine." Hearing this, Geng Chen held her hand behind his back and said to her.
"Okay, let's not talk about this," mentioning this, the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy, Qing Dai's eyes were slightly red, she turned sideways, seemed to wipe the corners of her eyes inadvertently, and then immediately changed the topic.
"I made some food, thinking about this time, you should be hungry too," Qing Dai said as she opened the mahogany brocade box on the table, and took out a plate of snacks from it.
I saw this dim sum, in the shape of five petal camellias, the whole body is milky white, only a faint red circle around the edge, and the center part is dotted with a small red date depicted as a stamen. At first glance, it is small and delicate, There is still a slight heat, and a sweet smell emanates.
"Jujube paste yam cake just out of the oven, now that you are weak, you should eat some easy-to-digest food, come, have a taste." Qing Dai brought a small plate with a piece of pastry, and eagerly brought it to Geng Chen's mouth.
'Um. "Gengchen opened his mouth obediently, took a bite, and chewed a few times. The sweet but not greasy taste spread in his mouth. After chewing, he swallowed, and praised without hesitation, "Good eat! "
He smiled and nodded, "Aunt Qing's craftsmanship is very good, just like the cakes Jiao'er gave me before, it tastes like home." He added.
"Oh?" Qingdai asked in surprise when she heard the words, "Jiao'er, did you eat my pastries?" She glanced at Geng Chen.
"Well," Geng Chen nodded, "That was when we met for the first time." He recalled the scene when the two met for the first time.
"I was washing my feet upstream, and for some reason, he suddenly appeared, and ah, he is so fierce! It seems that I did something heinous to him." Xiaolong tilted his head and mentioned the old things , couldn't help pouting, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"I found out later that he drank my footwashing water. No wonder his face was flushed with anger. I thought he had a heatstroke." He covered his mouth and laughed like a cute little hamster.
"So that's what happened, he told me about it too," Qing Dai knew what he was talking about as soon as she heard it, and couldn't help but smile.
"Then what happened afterwards?" Qing Dai continued to ask.
"Later,..." Geng Chen began to talk to her about his past with Jiao'er.
Listening to him talking about these things, Qingdai observes his demeanor, it is indeed Gu Panshenghui, but his eyes are very clear, as a person who has been there, Qingdai can see clearly that Geng Chen simply regards Jiao'er as a friend, absolutely no A little bit of love.
'I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse. Qingdai sighed in her heart, on the one hand, she was relieved that Geng Chen didn't love Jiao'er, but on the other hand, she felt embarrassed because of Jiao'er's unrequited love.
"Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing!" Seeing that she was a little distracted, Geng Chen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes. "Are you listening?"
"Ah?!" Qing Dai suddenly came back to her senses. "Listening, listening." She nodded with a smile.
"I've been talking for so long, I'm thirsty. Come on, I've also stewed crucian carp soup, which nourishes blood and Qi." She opened the second layer of the brocade box and brought out a white jade cup. After opening the lid, there was milk in it. The white fish soup, with small green leaves floating on it, she filled a bowl, stirred it with a spoon, blew it gently, and brought it to Geng Chen's mouth again.
"I'll do it myself." Geng Chen reached out to hold the bowl.
"No need," Qing Dai avoids his hand, "You take the plate and eat the cake, and I'll feed you the soup." She said to him with a smile.
"This is so embarrassing." Geng Chen felt a little sorry for letting her take care of himself like this.
"It's okay," Qingdai said with a smile when she saw this, "I treat you the same as I treat Jiao'er." She scooped up a spoonful of milky white fish soup and brought it to his lips, "Drink this soup at this time." It's just right, neither cold nor hot, come, try my handicraft if it's good."
"Yeah." Geng Chen's kindness was hard to resist, and, for some reason, he looked at Qing Dai, and he really felt cordial, as if, 'Your mother, it's probably like this. Thinking of this, he obediently opened his mouth and took a sip of the soup, warming his heart and body.
"Son, to tell you the truth, sometimes I worry too much," Qing Dai talked to him while feeding him soup, "You said Jiao'er is getting older every day, if you have someone you like in the future, I don’t know what will happen if we get married?”
"What do you think about this?" Qing Dai seemed to inadvertently ask, but in reality she was staring at Geng Chen intently, expecting his answer.
"If he gets married, then I will definitely give a big gift. I can see that his temper is stubborn. If he really decides who to marry as a Taoist couple, he must be deeply in love with the other party. Then I Of course I have to bless him." Geng Chen didn't think much at all, and expressed his opinion entirely from the perspective of a friend.
"Yeah, he's stubborn." Hearing this, Qing Dai's heart sank a little, because she didn't seem to have told Jiao'er that she had made a marriage contract for him.At this time, thinking of Jiao'er, and looking at Geng Chen in front of her, she felt very embarrassed.
But it was hard to talk about it, so Qing Dai changed the subject and talked to Geng Chen about something else.
The two of them were chatting, and at this time, Teng She had just come out of Bai Yu's room, and saw her asleep, so he didn't bother her, Teng She knew that this pregnancy really took her a lot of energy, he just watched After looking at the little daughter who hadn't broken her shell, she came out.
He was going to see Qing Dai, but he ran into the maid who was serving Qing Dai, and learned that Qing Dai was not in the room now, but went to see Geng Chen, so he was going to go back to meditate, but just when he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly I remembered one thing.
"Is the princess's medicine ready?" Teng Snake asked.
"The Hui patriarch's words have already been boiled and warmed on the stove. You can drink it after your highness comes back." The maid bowed with her hands and replied respectfully.
"That's good," Teng Snake relaxed slightly, "You're like this, you..."
He was about to continue to say something, but suddenly there was a golden streamer flying towards the door, Soaring Snake raised his hand to summon it, and after the light dissipated, a letter appeared in his hand.
Teng Snake opened it to look at it, and saw that it read, "Teng Snake Daoist friend said: Regarding the grievances between our two clans, it has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and it is time to end it. Talk with fellow Taoists on Coral Island. 'The place where the signature is written reads the word 'candle dragon'.
When Teng She saw Xu, he couldn't help frowning. He calculated in his heart that it should be time for dinner.
'If you're quick, you should be able to catch up. ' he thought so.
So he closed the letter, turned around and continued to say to the maid, "Go and see if the princess's dinner is ready, and ask them to cook more dishes that the princess likes, and, tell the kitchen to prepare the ingredients and wait a while Son, I want to cook by myself and make a bowl of sugar-steamed shortbread, Qingdai didn't like to drink that bitter medicine juice since she was a child, without this, she would definitely not be able to drink it."
"Remember, all the ingredients must be the freshest." Teng She instructed again.
"Yes, the slaves have written it down." The maid saluted again, turned and exited the room.
Teng Snake looked at the sky, straightened his clothes, flew up, turned into a light blue streamer and flew away, and soon landed on the small coral island at the junction of the ancestral land of the Snake Clan and Dongting Lake.
On the other side, Qing Dai had already coaxed Geng Chen to eat a lot, watched him fall asleep, lit some spices to soothe the nerves, and turned off the lights for him, then packed up the plates and plates and put them in the brocade box , lightly carried out the door, ready to go back to his room to rest.
After returning to the room, the serving maids came over with food, and Qing Dai didn't want them to serve her, so she waved everyone away and ate quietly by herself.Over the years, she has long since ceased to be the spoiled and pampered little princess of the snake clan who couldn't carry her shoulders or lift her hands. The hard life has smoothed her edges and corners. Today, she does whatever she can do by herself.
When she was almost finished eating, she cleared the dishes and was about to take them out when a maid came in again and bowed to her.
"But did you bring my medicine?" Qing Dai put down the dishes in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, then looked at her and asked.
"Returning to His Highness, the patriarch said, after you finish your meal, take a rest first, and then drink medicine with you when he makes sugar steamed cheese." Teng Snake's words.
"Father still remembers." Hearing this, Qing Dai's eyes moved slightly, and she was very moved. She didn't think that after so many years, her father still remembered her little habits clearly.
"Your Highness will rest for a while and just wait for the patriarch. As for these things, the servants will just clean up." Seeing her like this, the maid took the dishes from the table with a wink, and retreated softly.
At this time, Qing Dai was immersed in the past of the father and daughter who depended on each other, she didn't even notice when the maid went out, she just got up and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in memory, remembering what she said just now, knowing that the father is still thinking about her , Qingdai was so happy that she almost wept.
She waited for her father's arrival with full anticipation, just like she was still the coquettish little princess who had to be coaxed by her father when she drank medicine. Her heart was full of joy, anxiety, and the grievances and guilt of these years... all kinds of emotions were in her head. The thought of her son came to her heart, making her heart agitated and filled with emotion.
