Chapter 17: The Bean Bag Girl (2)

The rain became heavier and heavier, like a fairy scattering beads, wetting the earth and moistening all things. As soon as he entered the eaves, he saw Mingyue running over, waved his hand and said, "The eaves are also wet from the rain, don't run, be careful of falling." ”

Hearing this, Mingyue still ran over and said, "You still think I'm a little girl who always wrestles." ”

Ming Sheng took off his coat and said, "Has there been any major incident in the yamen recently?" ”

Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "I said that grandpa can't let go of the yamen in his heart, and every time he comes back from a long trip, the first thing he asks is the yamen." Lord Qin will leave in a month, and the officials who will take over are coming soon, Brother Bai asked me to persuade you to go back. ”

Ming Sheng sneered, his tone was full of dissatisfaction with the yamen, and he didn't answer. After taking off her robe, she saw a young man walking behind her, her face immediately became stern, and she glanced at Mingyue, which was so harsh that Mingyue's heart trembled. Grandpa is going to eat people!

Su Yunkai had already walked over quickly, because Mingyue was in the middle, and the eaves were too narrow to allow the two of them to stand side by side, so he stood behind Mingyue and said, "The younger generation has seen the old man." ”

Seeing that he was polite, talking and not irritable, his face was handsome, his eyebrows were innocent, and Mingsheng's complexion, who knew countless people, got better. Mingyue also took the opportunity to say, "Grandpa, you didn't know that there was a murder in the county after you left, but thanks to Su Gongzi, this case was solved." He was leaving tomorrow to say goodbye to me, and it was raining, and he didn't have an umbrella with him, so I couldn't let him out in the rain, so I invited him in. ”

Mingsheng asked, "Then why did you come out of the kitchen, did you invite guests like this?" ”

Su Yunkai hurriedly said, "It was Miss Mingyue who saw that I was wet with clothes, so she took me to the kitchen to bake the fire." ”

Mingyue hurriedly nodded vigorously, Mingsheng still had a straight face towards her, and his face was better when he looked at Su Yunkai, "It's my granddaughter who doesn't entertain well, please go to the front hall to drink warm tea." ”

Su Yunkai didn't bother too much, and when he saw that the rain was gradually stopping, he said, "I have to leave tomorrow, and the burden hasn't been packed yet, since I've said goodbye, then don't bother." ”

Mingsheng didn't do much to keep it, but said, "Bring an umbrella." ”

Su Yun thanked him and took the umbrella from Mingyue's hand. Xu is light was dim, but she felt that her face was not very good, and when she handed the umbrella, she glanced at him quickly, and stopped talking. He wanted to ask a few more words, but the girl's grandfather was staring at her, maybe she had something unspeakable, so he didn't ask again, just smiled at her, "I'm leaving, if you are free tomorrow, you can come and send off the white catcher." ”

Mingyue was slightly stunned, "Are you willing to let Shui Shui go with you?" ”

When Ming Sheng heard her call that name in front of this man, he knew that this person also knew Bai Shui's identity. Did Mingyue trust him enough to tell him this secret, or did he find out on his own? Looking at his granddaughter's gaze on him, he vaguely understood something.

Su Yunkai said, "Well, I was hesitant when I came, but if I think about it carefully, even if I block her opportunity this time, I can't stop her thoughts." In the future, if she looks away and believes in a bad person, is it not my fault? So it's better for me to pave this road for her, which can be regarded as the fate of these eight days. ”

"But in this case, if you are found out in the future, you will also be implicated, after all, you are the one who promoted her."

Su Yun smiled widely, "Then let's talk about it later." He said goodbye to Ming Shengzuo again, and then opened his umbrella and walked out.

Mingyue watched him leave with an umbrella and was silent. Grandpa had already entered the house, and she hadn't moved, just kept watching, trying to see him out. He said that Bai Shui had an eight-day relationship with him, but she had a thirteen-year relationship with him.

But he didn't remember it in the end.

The yard was not paved with stone slabs, and it was washed away by the rain and covered with mud. Su Yunkai walked on the simple stone road paved with smooth stones, and when he reached the wooden gate, the wind next to him moved through the trees, and there was a faint drizzle. He raised his umbrella to the left, and he saw a peach tree leaning against the wall on the right, untrimmed and uncut, with branches peeking out. As soon as February, buds have sprouted. Don't smell the fragrance of flowers, don't see petals, in the dark night, the peach tree without too many leaves is like a painting embedded in rice paper, the red buds dotted on the paper, there is no business.

A poetic peach tree enters the eyes, facing the breeze and drizzle, the spring is sultry, and the sky is not clear, but it is clear.

Su Yun stretched out happily, stepped under the door with his boots, and no longer saw the peach tree in his spare light, but his heart suddenly jumped.

The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

He hasn't been here, but he's definitely been to Nanle County.

His father was an honest and upright official, and whenever a traitor was in charge, he must be the first person to be degraded. Whenever a loyal minister assists, he must be the first to be used. So when he was a child, he would always move with his father, from north to south and from south to north. There was even a time when my father was relegated back to his hometown in Jiangzhou, and was later employed. He followed his father into Kaifeng and passed through Nanle County.

Nanle County, Nanle County......

The old man, that bright day.

He remembered that he was being chased by a dog.

Why are you being chased by dogs?

Because he told his mother to go for a walk outside the inn, he saw a little girl being chased by dogs. He went over to help and bought her buns to eat.

"I don't like to eat cakes, I like to eat bean buns."

"What's your name, little brother?"

The past is like a lotus flower, blooming layer by layer, bringing all the memories that have been forgotten for thirteen years to my heart.

He still remembered what she looked like when she was a child, but he didn't know what she would be like when she grew up.

Su Yunkai turned around in a daze, looked at the person who was still under the eaves and didn't go back, and said slowly, "Bean bag girl? ”

Mingyue was stunned suddenly, and had forgotten to answer. But her reaction was the best answer.

After confirming that she was the person in his memory, Su Yunkai only felt overflowing with a sense of wonder. He was surprised again, thirteen years later, how she recognized him at a glance.

Mingyue grabbed the corner of her clothes, blinked, and finally smiled, "It turns out that you still remember me." ”

The two recognized each other after a long absence, but they lost their previous freedom and became restrained. For a while, neither of them stepped forward, speaking across most of the courtyard, and there was rain, and the voice was not loud, so they listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Su Yunkai nodded lightly, "Remember, I just remembered it just now, so it's better for you to remember it clearly." ”

Mingyue felt that he still remembered this incident, and remembered that she was the little girl who was holding a bean bag and eating, and was satisfied, "I was still young at that time, and I must have looked different from what I look like now." ”

Su Yun opened his voice warmly, "Then why can you recognize me?" ”

Mingyue said, "At the end of the year, Shui Shui told me that a person named Su Yunkai became the criminal officer of our Daimyo Mansion Road, and I am not sure if you will pass by, and whether it is you, but I will pay more attention to the people who are born." There were a lot of people gathered in Baibaozhen that day, and I took a few more glances when I passed by, and then I saw the jade pendant hanging on your waist, which was exactly the same as you did at that time. ”

Su Yunkai looked down, this piece of red jade was a family heirloom, and he had always been with him.

"Later, when I got closer, I saw that there was also a scar on the back of your hand."

He raised his hand to look at it, this scar was still scratched by a dog in order to save her. I didn't expect that after many years, it would become a recognizable mark. Maybe she didn't know if the Su Yunkai who was in the court was him, but she still listened carefully to the whereabouts of "Su Yunkai". As he spoke, he gradually became less estranged, and he smiled, "It's okay, I finally recognized you." ”

Mingyue also smiled with relief, "No, seeing that you are leaving, I am almost sad to death." ”

When a girl said this to a man, Su Yunkai's heart fluctuated when she heard it, and Mingyue also noticed that something was wrong, and her face was red again.

Someone in the house coughed lightly, which attracted the attention of the two of them, and then said, "It's time to enter the house, it's cold outside." ”

Mingyue answered, and Su Yunkai said again, "I'll return the umbrella tomorrow morning." ”

"No, I'm going to deliver water anyway and get it back by the way."

"Hmm." Su Yunkai was afraid that she didn't know, so he added, "Chenshi." ”

Mingyue smiled, "Remember." ”

The two stood for a while before Su Yunkai left. When she was gone, Mingyue finally returned to the house.

Ming Sheng had already finished drinking three cups of tea, and when he saw her come in, he also poured one for her, and asked, "Is he Su Yunkai?" Grandpa still remembers him, but he didn't expect him to look like a talent. It is also rare that after so many years, he is still upright and has not become crooked. ”

"Doesn't it mean that when you see an old man at the age of three, he will be such an upright person in eighty years."

Ming Sheng glanced at her, and he didn't know that he thought he was talking about her eighty years old.

Mingyue took the teapot and poured him tea, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, he is Su Yunkai on the official document of the Yamen, the new criminal department of our Daimyo Mansion Road." ”

Ming Sheng's hand shaking the cup shook, "He is the new Criminal Division?" ”

"Hmm. Grandpa always said that the head is not right, you don't want to be crooked, and now it seems that you can go back. Mingyue knew that her grandfather didn't want to leave the yamen, and wanted to continue to do it, but the officialdom was dark and she didn't want to stay.

Mingsheng was silent for a long time and did not speak. The grandson was silent, and after a long time, he asked, "Do you want to go to the outside of Nanle County to have a look?" ”

Mingyue smiled, "Of course I want to, didn't grandpa say that if you want to be a good worker, your vision can't be too small." ”

"Then let's go outside with your white brother."

"That's good, she ......" Mingyue paused, "Grandpa, are you asking me to go to the Daimyo's Mansion Road with Master Su?" ”

Ming Sheng said with a straight face, "I asked you to go with your brother Bai." ”

Mingyue blinked, this didn't seem to be any different. Grandpa just overheard them behind the door? Her face turned red again, but after a while she said, "If I leave, I'll leave Grandpa here alone." ”

"I'll go back to do my work, and I don't have time to accompany you." Ming Sheng was reluctant in his heart, but the girl was older, he didn't want her to stay here, "Master Su is a good official, he knows that Bai Shui is a woman, but he still protects her, and is willing to take her to the mansion." Haven't you always wanted to do it? If you are a non-official, you don't need to be in office, and those who are capable will do it. He is a criminal officer, and he deals with various cases every day. You are by his side for the sake of sharpening and being a good servant. Grandpa doesn't need you to accompany him, he just wants the Ming family to make another good job, which can be regarded as fulfilling your father's last wish. ”

Mingyue's eyes were sour, and she didn't dare to respond lightly.

Who knows if the next county official in Nanle County will look down on women like Lord Qin again, and he doesn't want to be with women.

She wringed her fingers, only to feel that the night was long and her mind was uneasy.
