218. Chapter 218: The Nervous Loyalty
Princess Jian said lightly: "In this way, it is also possible that she has lost her eyes, maybe it was the lotus fragrance who served Rong Qingyi who died at that time, didn't she say that she had escaped some time ago? It was estimated that it was her and not Rong Qingyi at that time, and when the princess passed by early that morning, she also felt that she didn't look like Rong Qingyi. This matter is so big, fortunately there is no mourning in the house, if there is a funeral only to find out that it is wrong, it will really fall into the joke in the mouth, saying that our Jian Wangfu bullied Rong Qingyi, I am afraid that some people in the capital have heard these gossip, and they have to think of a way to make up for it. ”
"It's not that hard. Luan'er immediately smiled and said, "Isn't Master Rong going to take care of the courtyard of the Rong family? Three days later, it is the day when you feast a few familiar ladies in the house, that day, let Master Rong appear next to you a few times, naturally some people will ask, only say that Master Rong has been in poor health, some time ago had a serious illness, it's good, those ladies are also reasonable, naturally they won't ask more about this so-called gossip, this person appeared in front of everyone, naturally it is better than explaining one by one." ”
Princess Jane nodded, "It's a way." ”
"And the banquet three days later is your own business, you don't need the little boy to attend, and naturally you don't have to work hard Master Zhao, Master Zhao has been lazy these days, I don't know if you are pregnant. Luan Er continued with a smile, "As long as one or two ladies know that Master Rong is fine, it won't take a few days, and there will be no more so-called gossip in this capital. It can also be regarded as a blessing for the master, and being taken care of by the princess is remembered by everyone. ”
Princess Jane nodded, "It's up to you, you can prepare for this." By the way, Rong Qingyi has been staying in the backyard, this time when she comes out, she can't be too shabby, you don't have to talk to Ye'er about this, as long as she doesn't appear in front of Ye'er and Jiang Xuan, Ye'er won't say anything, what he is most afraid of is that Rong Qingyi is entangled with him, you go and prepare some appropriate clothes for Rong Qingyi, neither too gorgeous nor rude. ”
Luan'er smiled and said, "The slave understands. ”
Yuntian Daoist suddenly thought: Rong Qingyi came out of the backyard so easily, was locked up for two years, and never appeared in front of people, so she got the opportunity to appear in front of everyone again, I really have to be careful, lest she really have a chance to deal with the little master, with the cleverness of this master Rong, and the impatience in handling things, if she really intends to deal with the little master, no matter how smart the little master is, I am afraid that he will be able to catch the way.
Meng Longhui looked confused, not knowing how things could suddenly turn out like this.
The next day, Jin Zhong walked to the moon gate in the backyard nervously, this door, since yesterday, is no longer locked, but it is still quietly closed, someone has just delivered a meal, and it is no longer placed at the door, but directly carried the food box in.
"Be careful with yourself, whether you get the wrong person or not, whether you take Lianxiang as Master Rong, anyway, Master Rong is standing in front of you and me alive. Jinxi, who was not at ease, had been with him, and this time he reached out and pulled his brother's sleeve, and instructed, "I told you last night, this matter, the princess wants us to hide it from our master, we have to pretend to be confused, you also know that our master doesn't like this master Rong the most, and never allows her to appear in front of him, but that's our master's business, no longer the master's favor, Master Rong is also a master, and you can't take the master's dislike of Master Rong as your own business." ”
Jin Zhong let out a long sigh and nodded, "I have always had no bottom in my heart, I heard that she asked the princess for me to help her take care of the courtyard of the Rong family, I began to worry, she didn't get angry, and she spoke as softly as before, without the meaning of getting angry." But, I don't know why, but I was suddenly afraid of her, it seemed that she had been laughing at me, as if she knew a qiē, and I was like a fool, no matter if I got the wrong person one day, or something strange happened, anyway, I think she knew that I had personally sent her corpse away, or that it was Lianxiang's corpse, she must have hated me, and she asked me to help her take care of the affairs of the Rong family, and I felt that if I was a little careless, this little life would be lost. Just like what her brother said, no matter how much she is not favored, she is also a master. ”
"Master Rong is not a ruthless master. Jin Xi comforted softly, "It's been ten years since I've been married to King Jian's mansion, right? Although she has been bullied, she has never seen her punish people, you don't have to worry too much, besides, she still has to take care of the master's face, if she really punishes you, the master will definitely not spare her." ”
Jin Zhong let out a long breath, nodded, waved his hand with Jin Xi, and walked into the moon gate.
The slave who delivered the meal came out of it with her head down, and the expression on her face was very calm, it should have been that she didn't encounter anything inappropriate, Jin Zhong was a little relieved, what his brother Jin Xi said was right, what Rong Qingyi cared about most was her master Jian Ye, no matter how much she hated him, she wouldn't attack him.
Rong Qingyi was eating, very quiet, eating very slowly, chewing slowly, hearing Jin Zhong's footsteps, and there was no reaction, just like not hearing it, Jin Zhong at this time was much older, he was already a middle-aged man, and Jin Zhong who met after waking up from a dream was nearly twenty years away.
"Jin Zhong has seen Master Rong. Jin Zhong said respectfully, standing with his hands down.
Rong Qingyi still didn't speak, only ate quietly, the food delivered today was more delicate and attentive than yesterday's, although it was still slightly light, but it was already a lot more delicious to eat, more than ten times better than the coarse tea and light rice in his own memory in the nightmare.
Jin Zhong was apprehensive, but he didn't dare to speak again, and stood there stiffly.
After eating the last bite, Rong Qingyi put down the chopsticks in his hand, rinsed his mouth with the tea in the teacup, and then wiped his lips with a handkerchief, then looked at Jinzhong, with a faint tone, very calm, and said slowly: "Father and mother taught Qingyi that you can't talk casually during dinner, so I want you to wait for a while." ”
"It's small, it's not small, it's disturbing Master Rong's dinner. Jin Zhong immediately stepped forward diligently to clean up the dishes on the table and put them in the food box, and prepared to put them at the door when he went out later.
"Did you come here and tell your master?" asked Rong Qingyi casually.
"The princess has instructed that these things need not be disturbed by the master. Jin Zhong heard that Rong Qingyi didn't reprimand her, nor did he mention the previous matter, so he immediately calmed down, "I only let the little one tell the master that the princess has something to help the little one do, and the master didn't ask what to do, so he agreed." ”
Rong Qingyi nodded and took the cloak, "Okay, then now, are you ready for the light carriage?"
"It's ready, just stop outside the small door of the backyard, the princess said, if you go out in the future, you can go out directly from the small courtyard door in the backyard, so that you don't have to alarm the master. Jin Zhong said respectfully.
Rong Qingyi didn't speak, only nodded, and tidied up his cloak in the mirror, the clothes were personally sent by Luan'er yesterday night, and three sets were sent, one was worn when she went out today, one was usually worn, and the other was worn when she accompanied Princess Jian to a banquet for several officials and wives in the capital the day after tomorrow.
The materials used in the clothes are excellent, but the workmanship is not cumbersome, and the color is also very mild, Rong Qingyi made some small modifications last night, and removed some ornaments that she didn't like, and simply picked a few ornaments from the dowry that was still here, although it was not luxurious, it was definitely worth a lot.
She loves this kind of jewelry that looks simple and ordinary but has a long time to see.
Jian Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that the speed of the carriage was getting slower and slower, lifted the curtain, and glanced outside, there was some wind and snow outside, not big, but quite cold, there was a market in front of it, which was a little crowded, and the carriage would not be able to pass for a while.
"Master, it may take some time. Jin Xi said respectfully, "Today is a market here, the people are very crowded, and it is estimated that they will have to stop for a while before they can continue to hurry." ”
Jian Ye frowned, "Why is this road crowded day by day?"
Jin Xi hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "This is not a bazaar, the courtyard of the Rong family is not far from here, about two or three miles away, this was the former site of the Rong family school, and no one is allowed to set up stalls here to sell, but since the Rong family had an accident, some people have become bold, looking at the location of this place, and it is lively, it has become a market." ”
Jian Ye said impatiently: "Let's see if there is any other way to go." ”
Jin Xi knew that the thing Jian Ye didn't like to hear the most was the Rong family and Rong Qingyi, so it was not surprising that Jian Ye was impatient, but because of this, he didn't dare to say to Jian Ye that if he went around, he would have to pass through the old courtyard of the Rong family, which was now in ruins, and no one came in or out, but today, at this hour, I am afraid that Rong Qingyi is also nearby.
Hesitating for a moment, Jin Xi thought, it is impossible to be so coincidental, even if it is a coincidence, the master is sitting in the carriage, as long as he doesn't say it, the master will definitely not notice.
Drove the carriage forward for a while, bypassing the crowded crowd, avoiding the lively market, in front of a somewhat empty road, most of the trees on both sides of the road have withered, a piece of broken walls, very depressed, it is the former courtyard of the Rong family, after the accident, this place has been so desolate.
"Jinxi, you go back to the house for a trip, pick up Jiang Xuan, she told me last night that she wanted to eat fish head, hungry for many days, I promised her last night, I left early today, and dealt with some things, I forgot about it, and I had to listen to her muttering and crying again, so I picked her up and took her to the banquet. Jian Ye lifted the curtain and looked outside, "After picking her up, I went directly to the banquet, I took a shortcut to the past, I have been busy with various things these days, a little boring, just for a walk." ”
