Chapter 1615 Lotus Leaf is Coming
He Ye set out three plates and two bowls, speaking slowly, "You've probably heard about this. I was sick a few days ago and injured two maids. I gave them each one ounce of silver as compensation, but since I scratched their faces, I felt responsible, so I went out to the street and sold them some ointment to remove decay and promote new growth, and also bought them some powder."
As she spoke, He Ye took out some water and showed it to Chen Qingsheng. Chen Qingsheng stood there straight, unable to utter a word. He couldn't tell whether He Ye, who was talking to him at this moment, was still sick.
He Ye patted the small stool where Chen Qingsheng usually sat and said, "Come and eat. If you wait any longer, the food will get cold."
Chen Qingsheng gritted his teeth and sat down, picked up the bowl and started to eat voraciously. He was not so hungry, he just wanted to finish eating quickly so that he could send He Ye back. He couldn't sit with a mentally ill patient until sunset, that would be too risky.
He Ye was quite tactful. After Chen Qingsheng finished eating, she took the lunch box and left. Chen Qingsheng didn't have to rack his brains to drive her back.
Until dinner time the next day, Chen Qingsheng, whose stomach was rumbling with hunger, was still worried that He Ye would bring him food, but after waiting for a long time, He Ye never showed up.
Chen Qingsheng touched his flat stomach and smiled. It seemed that this person would not come. He crossed the road and spent four cents to buy two buns, one meat and one vegetable. When he was eating happily, He Ye came.
Chen Qingsheng shuddered and half of the bun in his hand fell to the ground.
He Ye helped pick it up, removed the dirty parts and handed it to Chen Qingsheng: "It's still edible."
Chen Qingsheng took it with a trembling voice, "Thank you!"
He Ye smiled and said, "I have a mad disease but I am not a madman. Why are you afraid of me?"
It would have been fine if He Ye didn't smile, but when she did, Chen Qingsheng was really scared.
"No... I'm not scared." Chen Qingsheng straightened his waist secretly. Fortunately, He Ye didn't have a lunch box in her hand. "Are you just passing by?"
"No, I came here specifically to see you."
Chen Qingsheng had a piece of bun stuck in his throat, and he felt very uncomfortable because he couldn't swallow it.
This person stopped bringing him food and went to look for him instead. Chen Qingsheng's heart was in turmoil. Why did he come to look for him? He was a frail vendor with no strength to even lift a chicken. Why would He Ye come to look for him? He wouldn't just sit beside him in silence for another day, would he? If that was the case, Chen Qingsheng would probably set up his stall somewhere else.
He Ye seemed to have guessed what Chen Qingsheng was thinking. "Qingsheng, what are you afraid of? I won't hurt you. My madness has been cured."
Chen Qingsheng forced a smile and argued, "I'm not scared. By the way, what do you want from me?"
He Ye handed the item in her hand to Chen Qingsheng mysteriously. Between them stood a pile of colorful kites. They looked dazzling and vibrant, but a closer look revealed that, aside from the different color schemes, they all looked the same. There was nothing new about them. They were all triangular kites of the same size. This type of kite was the most common on the streets, found at nearly every kite stall. Because of its simple design, a craftsman could make dozens in a day.
Chen Qingsheng stuffed the small half of the bun into his mouth, stretched out his hands and asked incoherently, "What?"
Lotus Leaf smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you open it."
Chen Qingsheng stretched his long neck and swallowed the bun in his mouth with difficulty. He carefully opened the mysterious object wrapped in expensive brocade. When he saw it, Chen Qingsheng's eyes lit up and he became excited. "Kite pattern? Where did you get the kite pattern? This is too complete."
Chen Qingsheng was so excited that he couldn't help shouting while quickly flipping through the kite pattern in his hand. He was so eager to learn that he felt like he had found a treasure. He was like a person in the desert who had found a source of water, like a child who had found milk, like a puppy who had found a bone. His big eyes greedily looked at the album in his hands, wishing he could imprint everything in it into his mind. Because this pattern was so perfect and rare.
Seeing the man's reaction, He Ye revealed a subtle hint of pride and smiled slightly, "I went to the Crown Prince's Mansion to find my brother and asked him for this pattern. Do you think it would be useful to you?"
Need I ask? Chen Qingsheng is already immersed in this picture album.
That day, Cheng Feng told Chen Qingsheng to ask Cheng Youning for a kite pattern, and He Ye silently took note of it. When she saw that Chen Qingsheng was selling only triangular kites yesterday, she knew that he had not asked Cheng Youning for a pattern.
Chen Qingsheng stared at the atlas and nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "It's useful, useful, very useful! I just need something like this to help me."
"With this, you don't have to go to other people's kite shops all day to look at them. This album, just as my uncle said, contains many kinds of kites. As long as you study it carefully, you will definitely be able to make high-quality kites." In fact, He Ye also wanted to say that if the kite in the picture could be made, Chen Qingsheng would not have to sell the triangular kites that were everywhere on the street at a low price here.
"This kite is even more beautiful than the ones sold on the market. With it, I don't have to go out and sneak a peek at other people's kites."
Seeing that Chen Qingsheng had already begun to study the kite pattern book, He Ye said, "My brother treasures this album very much. It was only because of me that he asked someone to hand it over to me. If it were anyone else, they would never be able to take it out of the Prince's Mansion. At most, my brother would show it to visitors when he is in a good mood."
Chen Qingsheng looked at He Ye. What He Ye said was definitely not a lie. He had met the prince twice before. He was a smart little kid. If this booklet was so easy to come by, he would have asked the prince for it directly. Why would he bother running around in the kite shop to steal the skills? "When will the prince take this booklet back?"
He Ye said thoughtfully, "Don't worry. My brother just told me to take good care of this album and return it when I'm done."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingsheng sat down on his own small stool and called out to He Ye, "Come in and sit down."
Lotus Leaf naturally sat on another small stool.
And two days later, He Ye went to Cheng Feng and Shang Xi's yard. Her uncle and aunt were there, and Yuhua was there too.
Seeing He Ye acting like a good person again, Shang Xi and Cheng Feng felt relieved after a few days of worrying. Shang Xi pulled He Ye to sit down and said, "I heard that you've been going out every day since you got better. Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?"
Shang Xi remembered that this person didn't like going out on the street in the past. It could be said that he never left the house.
Yuhua also said: "Yes, Heye, your parents have moved away, what are you afraid of? Don't run out of the house every day. Your complexion hasn't recovered yet."
