Chapter 228 The happiness of a dragon and a phoenix (twins)
A white steed flits past a crack. In a blink of the eye, five years had gone by. It was another hot summer.
- A white steed flits past a crack: how time flies
The big mansion of Gu household had been rebuilt in Jingtian City. Although, the gra.s.s and trees inside were different from before, but every time when it was this season, Shu Huna would always remember her first summer here.
At that time, the weather was hotter than now. At that time, the people of Gu household were strangers to here. At that time, she was at lost about the future. The only good news was that at that time, Gu Xiran was also at her side.
Shu Huan sat in front of the window and was lost in thoughts while she held a brush. There was a touch of green outside the window. The cicadas were babbling on the branches. The sounds were closely one after another as if it never ceased.
Maid Meijing lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing her lost in thoughts in front of the window, she couldn't help but laugh. She (M) walked to her and put a small porcelain jar in front of her.
Shu Huan had been disturbed. She came out of her trance and touched the porcelain jar. She asked laughing, "What is it today?"
Meijing laughed, "Iced watermelon juice."
Sure enough, the porcelain jar felt cold. That rain-glazed surface was covered with fine small droplets which looked very tempting.
These days, Meijing racked her brains to make her cold and delicious drinks to relieve the heat. She (SH) was tired of those commons like mung bean lily soup and pickled plum soup. Then, grape juice, cantaloupe juice, cherry juice and etcetera appeared. In fact, many times, Shu Huan wanted to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble and that it would better to bring the fruit directly. However, when she saw Meijing being so happily busy, she let her be.
"If it has been set aside for too long, the taste will change. Does second young mistress want to drink it now?" Meijing asked and without the approval of Shu Huan, she just opened the lid and carefully took out a porcelain bowl from the porcelain jar covered with ice cubes.
The white porcelain bowl coupled with the red watermelon juice was beautiful. Shu Huan looked at it for a while before she picked up the bowl and took a sip. It had a sweet scent and was deliciously cold. The heat disappeared immediately.
She smiled slightly, put down the bowl and said, "You are becoming more virtuous. When Ranmo returns from this business trip, just marry him. It happened that he lacked people to care about his well-being. He came over here with a sad face to beg me a many time already…"
"Second young mistress!" Meijing's face immediately got red. She didn't wait for Shu Huan to finish before she complained, "I already said that I won't marry. I want to keep you company."
Shu Huan laughed out loud. Before she could speak, she heard the curtain being raised. Gu Xiran came in and glanced twice at Meijing. He joked, "I beg you to marry sooner! If you keep my wife company , then what about me?"
Meijing's face reddened even more. However, after staying with them for so long, she also became eloquent. She turned her face and said, "Second young master should go keep little young master and little young miss company. It's fine that second young mistress has only me here."
At that time, Liangchen and the wet nurse brought in that pair of twins Gu Yuan and Gu Nian. Hearing her (M) say that, Liangchen said to the wet nurse, "Wet nurse Xu, listen to her. She is trying to steal our job!"
