Chapter 297 Fruit Wine
After eating roast lamb and playing mahjong last night, Lin Jiaojiao went to bed late, but it did not affect her biological clock at all and she woke up at the right time. This morning, she did not exercise and stayed in bed for a while before getting up.
Fu Qi heard the noise and opened his eyes slightly, looking like he was still sleepy. He looked at the person standing beside the bed and getting dressed. He raised his head slightly, his hoarse voice still sounding sleepy.
"Sister Jiaojiao, won't you lie down for a while longer?"
Lin Jiaojiao was wearing a belt. When she heard the voice, she turned around and apologized, "I woke you up. I won't lie down anymore. I have to go to the city soon. Otherwise, it will be bad if I miss Lin Yun's car."
He listened but didn't force her. He just reminded her a few times to be careful and then lay down and fell asleep. He was too sleepy.
She put on her clothes, turned the quilt for him, kissed his forehead, then stood up and left quietly.
Tongfu had been waiting outside the door for a long time. After seeing her come out and greet her, he went into the house and waited.
She went to wash up first, then went back to her room to change into simple yet formal clothes, asked Lan Jiu to comb her hair and put a jade crown on her, and also drew some heroic eyebrows.
"Miss, are you here to support Miss Lin Yun?"
"Yeah, even though I don't have a powerful status, I still can't let down my appearance. I'm sending some food to Lin Yun's classmates. As the saying goes, you're grateful for what you've done to someone, and you're soft-hearted for what you've eaten. I don't ask them to help her, I just ask them not to bully her."
Lan Jiu followed behind her and said enviously: "Miss is so nice to Miss Lin Yun, just like real sisters."
Her eyes darkened and she stopped, her thoughts drifting far away.
"I feel guilty towards her. If I had discovered it earlier, I wouldn't have... Forget it, you won't understand what I'm telling you. What is breakfast?"
Seeing that she had returned to normal, Lan Jiu didn't ask any more questions.
"Mung bean porridge, braised pork buns and flower rolls."
The two came to the kitchen. Lin Jiaojiao was eating breakfast while Lan Jiu stood quietly behind her, staring at the back of her head in a daze.
He knew what she was talking about. He and Lan knew it as soon as they got all the information about her, but Lin Shen's matter was only mentioned briefly.
He felt that Lin Shen's death was very strange and reported it to his master, but his master did not take it seriously and just asked him to protect her and not to interfere in other matters.
Today he discovered that she had always been blaming herself for his death.
He didn't want her to be like this.
His lady should be happy all the time.
...
Qiulai Inn.
Lin Yun got up early to read, which has always been her habit. Gong Yue, who shared the same bed with her, was still asleep.
Last night they went to Zhiwei Restaurant to eat hotpot. It was the first time for them to eat such a unique way of eating. There was also the sour and sweet fruit wine. Almost everyone had a few drinks.
Unfortunately, most of them couldn't drink much. After the party last night, she was the only one who was still sober; the rest were drunk.
Seeing that the expected departure time was almost exceeded, Lin Yun put down the book, stood up, walked to the bed, and patted Gong Yue's face.
"Wake up, Gong Yue, wake up..."
Gong Yue frowned and looked like he was about to wake up. Seeing this, Lin Yun had to use more force and finally woke him up.
Gong Yue stroked his painful face, looking confused and with lifeless eyes.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time."
Gong Yue rubbed his dizzy head, his throat feeling dry and uncomfortable.
"Are the others also silent? Why don't we set off later? Why is the fruit wine from Zhiwei Restaurant so strong? If I had known, I wouldn't have drunk too much last night..." After saying that, she lay back down.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep again, Lin Yun looked at her helplessly. She had only drunk a small glass of wine last night. This was her first time drinking wine and it tasted very good.
She knew her alcohol tolerance, so she only had one glass and then stopped drinking.
Thinking about what Lin Jiaojiao said yesterday that she would come to see her off, she should be here soon.
She tidied her clothes and walked out of the room. Seeing that the other rooms were quiet, she realized that everyone was still sleeping.
When she arrived at the door of the inn, she did not see Lin Jiaojiao, and she felt a little disappointed.
Lin Jiaojiao was so good to her. The better she was, the more guilty she felt, and she began to long for this care.
Xiao Er Niang came out with a plate and saw that the person standing at the door was a student from Qingzhou, so she hurried forward to ask.
"Sir, are you leaving now?"
Lin Yun said: "No."
Xiao Er Niang was obviously relieved. "That's good. There's a girl waiting for her sister. Her sister should be one of you named Lin Yun."
"I am."
"Ah? That's perfect. Lin Dongjia has gone to get something. She will be back soon."
"I understand, thank you."
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Xiao Er Niang continued with her work. Lin Yun found a place to sit down and waited.
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of car wheels came quickly.
There are fewer people on the streets now, and the carriage is moving faster than usual. Lin Jiaojiao sits in the carriage, holding the wine jars in the bamboo basket to prevent them from bumping into each other.
Earlier, when she arrived at Qiulai Inn and waited for Lin Yun and the others to come down, she was bored and asked the waiter on duty about some things about the students from Qingzhou. When she learned that a group of them came back drunk last night, she immediately took Lan Jiu back to Zhiwei and packed twelve jars of fruit wine.
If she had known they wanted to drink, she would have brought it directly from the farm. At least two jars could be given to each person. The store didn't have much stock, so she could only give each person one jar.
She was still feeling regretful when Lan Jiu's voice was heard outside.
"Ms. Lin Yun."
When she saw the car stopped, she quickly lifted the curtain and jumped out, and walked anxiously to Lin Yun who was standing at the door.
"Sorry for the long wait. Are we going to set off now? Lan Jiu, quickly move the things out of the car."
Lin Yun shook her head at her, "No, we'll leave later. They haven't woken up yet."
Lin Jiaojiao immediately remembered that the wine had a strong aftereffect. How much did they drink?
She didn't know whether she should send wine or not.
"Well, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? I brought you some braised pork buns and flower rolls, all made by Uncle Zhao, and they taste delicious."
Lin Yun had indeed not had breakfast yet, and had wanted to wait for them to get up before eating together. Now, after hearing what she said, she was indeed hungry.
"Thank you, sister Jiao."
"Why thank you? We are all family."
Lin Jiaojiao took Lin Yun to find a dining table and sat down, while Lan Jiu took out a food box from the carriage.
"Waiter, just bring a bowl of porridge and some pickles."
"okay."
Lin Jiaojiao shouted for Lin Yun. Originally, these braised pork buns and flower rolls were for them to eat on the road, but since they hadn't left yet, they might as well take them out and eat them first.
Lan Jiu put the lunch box on the table and opened it. Lin Jiaojiao quickly took a pair of chopsticks for Lin Yun.
"Try it quickly, it should still be warm."
Lin Yun couldn't resist her enthusiasm, so she picked up a bun with chopsticks and took a bite.
"It's delicious. Thank you, Sister Jiao."
"If it's delicious, eat more. If Qingzhou weren't a bit far away, I would bring you delicious food every day. Our Lin Yun can just study with peace of mind."
Lin Yun listened to her words and lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes.
I wish he didn't leave.
