Chapter 26

Mei Rui was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Isn't what I mean obvious enough," Lu Zhen's expression didn't seem like a joke, "I like the bachelor very much, I want to ask the bachelor if he would like to get along with me?" ”

There was a bang in her head, and it was not too much to say that the thunderbolt on a sunny day was too much, Mei Rui twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a dry smile: "The guards are too tired today, so it's better to go and rest first and wake up." She got up to see him off," the slave sent the escort out. ”

Before he walked to his side, Lu Zhi grabbed her wrist, not light or heavy, just stopped her forward steps, and did not pull her wound, the smile on the corner of his mouth was very confusing, like a delicate and cold jade sculpture coming to life, and his voice was soft: "Why should the bachelor run away from my words?" ”

"No," Mei Rui gritted her teeth, feeling chills all over her body, she turned her head away from him, "This kind of naughty smile is not funny, and please don't play tricks on slaves and maids like this in the future." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to break free of Lu Zhi's hand, but there was still a wound on his left shoulder, so he couldn't use too much strength, Lu Zhi frowned: "Don't make trouble, you still have injuries on your body." His tone was really serious and gentle, "I'm not playing tricks on the bachelor, I mean it." ”

The doting in the words made Mei Rui tremble, her body froze, and she wanted to cry without tears: "What's so good about a slave and maid, you can get the blue eyes of adults." ”

Just after the sentence I can't change it, Mei Rui swallowed before she said this, she suddenly felt that Huaizhu's words were very reasonable, I thought that this person who was above the top would inevitably look down on herself, there were more people in the palace who were better than herself, maybe how many people wanted to be the wife of the guard, Lu Zhi really had the intention of finding the right food, where would it be her turn, how could she know that there was really such a ridiculous thing.

The incident happened suddenly, and two people showed their hearts one after another, Mei Rui was upset and had a headache. Lu Zhi laughed and said, "I think the bachelor is good everywhere, don't the bachelors think I'm good?" ”

"This can't be confused," Mei Rui bit her lip, "I think the Protector is a decent person, and it is very comfortable to deal with people, not to be devoted to the Protector. ”

"Is that so?" Lu Zhi still refused to let go, staring at her intently, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate her true thoughts, and he showed no mercy on his tongue, wanting to debunk all the truths she had concealed, "Since the bachelor has no intention of me, then why would he go back to the house with me?" ”

She raised her voice slightly, obviously in a hurry: "That's because the protector was injured, and I want to make amends to the protector......"

"Oh?" He laughed, "In order to make amends, you will go home with me, this is the family history of Mei Jingchen's beloved daughter?" ”

Mei Rui was about to refute, but Mei Jingchen's three words came into her ears, and she was suddenly stunned, and all kinds of emotions surged up, and she asked in disbelief: "How can the protector know the name of his father?" ”

"Isn't this strange," Lu Zhen's smile was a little strange, like a cold dagger smeared with venom, dangerous and fascinating, "Ling Zun was friendly with the Lu family before, and was once a member of the Lu family's staff, and he also taught me for a period of time when I was a child, and later when the Lu Mansion raided the house, Ling Zun escaped from Chang'an and returned to his hometown, which can be regarded as picking up a life." ”

He let go of Mei Rui's hand, slowly groped out a piece of paper from his sleeve, worried that Mei Rui had an injury on her hand, and specially unfolded it in front of her, so that she could see it clearly, and his clear voice carried a vague smile: "Since the bachelor was mentioned in front of the palace, I have known that the bachelor is Mr. Mei's daughter, and this marriage is a note made by Mr. Mei when he was still in the Lu Mansion at that time, all of which are from Mr. Mei's own handwriting, and there is also a seal." I always remembered the whereabouts of the bachelor, but in the middle of the family, I was put into the palace as a slave, and then it was gone. I asked the bachelor before about the marriage that had already been set, and I wanted to determine the bachelor's mind. ”

Lu Zhi looked at Mei Rui, who was frozen there, and smiled slightly: "I have already married the bachelor, so should the bachelor keep his promise at this moment?" ”

Mei Rui trembled all over her body, feeling like everything was messed up. It was an excuse to prevaricate the little emperor at random, but how could a fiancΓ© really come out, and it was Lu Zhen. She suddenly felt that Zhao Chun was better than Lu Zhen, and compared with Lu Zhen, Zhao Chun was much easier to refuse.

But Lu Zhen's appearance doesn't look like he's joking, she has also seen the yellowed words due to age, it is indeed Daddy's handwriting, the signature and seal are Daddy's name, and the three words Mei Jingchen of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing are all her last thoughts.

Why is it Lu Zhen, she doesn't know where her idea comes from, she thinks that anyone is good, it can't be him. The blood on her face had faded, and she was as white as Zhang Shengxuan paper, and she said in a wooden voice: "Since the protector already knows my background, why didn't he explain it earlier?" ”

I have to give her a head start like I am now, so that I can be happy.

Lu Zhi said: "Wouldn't it be better to sue Bachelor SΓΉ earlier than now?" ”

Mei Rui was stunned by his question, and if she told her earlier, she could simply and decisively reject him, with countless excuses and reasons, such as old things that should be forgotten like a cloud of smoke, and for example, the handwriting can be copied or borrowed, the authenticity of this note is really inconclusive, and she can't count the thousands of rejections, but she can't say a word.

How could this be, since A-Niang's death, she actually wanted to cry for the first time, tears rolled in her eyes, she couldn't bear to let it fall, and choked up: "No, it's probably not much better than now." ”

Lu Zhi didn't expect to make her cry, he has always disliked procrastination in doing things, but one day he heard Fu San'er ask him, is Aunt Mei Rui in front of the emperor about to become the wife of the protector?

He asked Fu San'er why he thought like this, and Fu San'er muttered, thinking that he treated Mei Rui very differently and was much closer than others.

He laughed, he treated Mei Rui well only because she was the daughter of the deceased, Mei Jingchen was also counted as his husband back then, preaching and teaching him to solve his doubts, he respected Mei Jingchen as a teacher, so he naturally paid special attention to Mei Rui.

He didn't want to mention the paper marriage contract, she was really good, she inherited Mei Jingchen's temperament, and her aunt was also a beauty. But with his current appearance, he really can't afford to delay her, who is a good girl to marry, how can she be willing to fight against the eunuch.

It ruined her pure and proud bones.

But hearing Fu San'er say this, he thought about it carefully, and felt that if he really wanted a hostess to the Protector's Mansion, Mei Rui was a good candidate.

He just thought about it, and he didn't care much about it in the future, but when he met her in front of the palace, he would pay attention to it a few more times, such a delicate and sparse eyebrows, how to look at how comfortable.

Today, before he drove out of the palace, he instructed his cronies to watch her, and her last time she rescued her at the altar was very eye-catching, he was worried that she had become a thorn in the eye of others, and this huge palace city was in danger, if someone took advantage of his absence to hurt her, then he could not explain to his teacher.

After he came back, his cronies told him that she went out with Huaizhu in the afternoon to relax, and met Zhao Chun by the Taiye Pool, and the two behaved like intimacy, and they didn't know what to say behind the rockery.

That cronie is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he is adding oil and vinegar vigorously, what Aunt Mei Rui looks a little wrong when she comes out from behind the rockery, she keeps hanging her head, as if she is shy, and she doesn't pay attention to how Commander Zhao calls her in the back, like an awkward little daughter-in-law.

Knowing that it was an exaggeration of too many words, he listened to it in his heart as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and remembered that when she was first mentioned to the royal court, he met her and Zhao Chun on the palace road, and it seemed that the relationship was very good.

I also heard that when she first arrived in Chang'an, she lived in Zhao's mansion?

Very good, very good.

His laughter made the cronie tremble, and he sent him back to the house to fetch a wooden box pressed against the bottom of the box.

It was this paper that was hidden in the wooden box, and he went straight to her to show her cards, and when he sent someone back to get the contract, he knew what he was thinking about her.

What if she delays her, he will give her a better way to make up for it, so simply delay.

But it scared her, she was really frightened, staring at the note in a daze, as if she wanted to split each word, she looked at it carefully, her expression was indifferent, and she was a little aggrieved, and the tip of her nose was a little red, which was particularly cute.

Maybe he was in a hurry, Lu Zhi thought so, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to her: "Did I scare the bachelor?" ”

"No, no." She shook her head, still hanging her head in a daze, seeing her like this, Lu Zhi slowly withdrew the note, her eyes followed the note and fell on his hand, only to find that the hands were not smooth, there were a few slight scars on them, Xu is that he has lived a fine life over the years, and he also deliberately found a way to remove the scars on his hands, and he can't see it if he doesn't look carefully.

He spoke slowly and said with a wry smile: "I'm just telling the bachelor what happened back then, and the bachelor knows about such a thing." I didn't mean to force the bachelor to marry me, and the bachelor also knew that even if the bachelor was willing to follow me, even if the bachelor was willing to follow me, I couldn't bear to delay. ”

If he really couldn't bear to delay her, how could he bring this matter out and put it in front of her and make her so troubled. But Mei Rui didn't expect this, but she was still a little grateful for his concession, which was a rare thing in her opinion, and Lu Zhi made her pain clear, as a eunuch, who would like to admit that he was missing a piece of meat in front of others. Mei Rui was a little distressed again, seeing his helpless look, she put aside all the things she had just done for the time being, and comforted him: "The protector knows, it's not that I don't think the protector is bad, it's just that the incident happened suddenly......"

"That maester likes me?" He followed her words and asked, and Mei Rui suddenly realized what kind of ambiguous words she had said, her ears turned red, and she became a little flustered: "Why is the protector like this?" ”

Lu Zhi smiled: "It's mine, isn't it, look at my mouth, I offended the bachelor again, what does the bachelor think?" ”

The candlelight reflected in his eyes, like a lake full of fine golden light and expectation, and the words turned around Mei Rui's mouth several times, but the words changed: "I am at a loss for a while, I don't know what to do, the protector allows me to think about it, and then think about it." ”

As soon as the words came out, she wanted to bite off her tongue, what were these words! Lu Zhi smiled with satisfaction, and slowly stood up: "Okay, bachelor think slowly, I'm not in a hurry." ”

He raised his hand and stroked the broken hair from her ear behind her ear, and when his cold fingers touched the reddened and hot auricle, she trembled.

His laughter came low, and the cold fragrance of Jatamansi made her heart beat faster, and she heard him whisper: "Then I will go first, and the bachelor will rest well." ”

Raising his eyes to meet his meaningful eyes, he gave birth to bipolar beautiful eyes, more dazzling than the stars, seeing Mei Rui's heart suffocated, panicked, he suddenly winked at her half of his eyes, and the wind of his eyes came over with a flirtatious meaning, and hit her heart.

Seeing that her face was red and at a loss, Lu Zhi smiled and said goodbye, Mei Rui was stunned for a while before she came to her senses, her feet were soft, and she almost fell to the ground.

I couldn't sleep well when I went back to bed, and I tossed and turned all night, seeing that the window was shining bright because of the white belly of the fish in the east, and she couldn't sleep all night, she wrapped herself in the futon and sighed, thinking that this was not a solution, and she had to avoid it first.

When the little emperor routinely came to see her injury, she looked at the absence of Lu Zhen, and euphemistically expressed to the little emperor that her identity was not in accordance with the rules for living in the Linde Hall for a long time, and the little emperor touched his chin and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Does Rui Rui want to be my concubine, so that she will not be unruly if she lives in the Linde Hall for a long time." ”

She really wanted to be angry with the pair of master and servant, and she was silent, she gritted her teeth and said: "If Your Majesty does not dislike the posture of the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will definitely live up to you." ”

The little emperor was afraid that she would take it seriously, so he hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "I'm joking with you!" ”

"Your Majesty," Mei Rui grimaced, "this naughty smile is not funny at all. ”

The little emperor belched twice: "Rui Rui, how did you become like Lu Zhen, it's very boring." He picked up Mei Rui's face again, and after carefully studying it for a while, he twisted his eyebrows and said, "Rui Rui, I see why your face is so bad, don't you sleep well?" ”

Mei Rui nodded, and said very embarrassedly: "You don't know, the slave maid has the bad problem of recognizing the bed, and I was grateful for the grace of the saint before, and it is really a great honor to be able to recuperate in the Linde Palace, but the slave and maid are light-skinned, and they can't bear this honor, so they haven't slept well for half a month." She sighed, accompanied by the blue and black at the moment, adding a bit of credibility, "I also hope that Your Majesty will allow the slave maid to move back to the court, and heal her injuries early, so that she can serve you early." ”

In fact, the emperor didn't send her to serve her personally, and the little emperor just wanted her to heal her injuries earlier, otherwise this look would be distressing. Pity and cherish jade is the inheritance of the emperor's family, but it can't be rubbed in the blood, the little emperor naturally agreed to Mei Rui's request, and only after a while after Huaizhu came over, he moved back to his original residence.

Huaizhu was pleasantly surprised, and he couldn't wait to carry Mei Rui back in person. Finally, I don't have to live in the Lin De Hall anymore, and I have to recuperate for another period of time, so this time I will naturally not see Lu Zhen, Mei Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and her feelings were also happy, and she went back to the original house with a smile, and pushed the door in to see the long-lost scene in the past half a month, she felt very happy. Even though the Lin De Hall is magnificent, she feels lonely when she lives in it, and this room is good, ordinary and simple, but it is very warm.

Huaizhu settled her down and told her what to pay attention to, and Mei Rui scolded her with a smile: "I'm not hurting my brain again, I don't even know these things." Hurry up and go to the duty, after a while, someone will see that you are not there, and you will be deducted from the silver, are you distressed? ”

"You just think I'm verbose," Huaizhu snorted, poured her a glass of water and put it on the head of the bed, and admonished, "You have to drink more water, and you won't run around until I come back." If you feel bored, you can sleep, and when you wake up, I'll be back, you know? ”

Mei Rui grabbed her with her right hand: "Okay, I know, you can go quickly!" ”

After Huaizhu left, Mei Rui sat bored in the house, and the sleepiness of not sleeping at night came up, so she really lay down and fell asleep. In the dream, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing in, and she heard two window sounds, she just thought that the window was blown open by the wind, and she didn't bother to care, wrapped the quilt tightly and continued to play against Zhou Gong.

When she woke up, she went to see that the window was indeed open, and there were two books on the window, and on top of them was a light peach blossom, and the pink clusters were very lovely. She got out of bed and walked over, pushed the window open a little more, but there was no one outside.

I don't know when it was put here, Mei Rui picked up the peach blossom, the broken mouth was still wet, it should have just broken off from the branch, the book on the windowsill was two travelogues, she had read one of them, and the other was transferred out of the literature museum before she could read it.

It is self-evident who the person who sent the flowers is, Mei Rui lowered her head and sniffed the peach blossoms, a smile pulled up at the corner of her mouth, and turned around and β–‘β–‘ the peach blossoms into the porcelain vase in the room.

When Huaizhu came back, Mei Rui was lying on the couch flipping through the travelogue, and the room was a little more β–‘β–‘ because of the peach blossom, Huaizhu stared at the peach blossom for a long time with some suspicion, and asked, "Where did the flower come from?" ”

Mei Rui lied without blinking: "I asked the people from the Literature Museum to help me find two books to read to pass the time, and they folded them to me when they sent them." ”

Only then did Huaizhu put his mind at ease and pulled Mei Rui to stay for dinner. For seven consecutive days, some people took advantage of her lunch break to put the peach blossoms and books on the windowsill.

Mei Rui flipped through those books slightly, and found that they were all very suitable for her own appetite, they were all stacked on the head of the bed, and she took them out from time to time to read, and when the books on the pillow were stacked high, Huaizhu couldn't help but say to her: "Rui Rui, can't you let people take these books after you finish reading, they are piled up so high, what if they fall down and hit you in the middle of the night?" ”

On the eighth day, she stuffed the pillow of Huaizhu into the futon, and from a distance it looked like a man was sleeping on the bed, and she hid her hands behind the windowsill, pinching the time and waiting for the man to come again.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, suddenly the window was slowly opened from the outside, and a bony hand with a book and peach blossom poked in, and the peach blossom was at his fingertips, lining that hand more beautifully, as if everything was elegant.

Just as the hand was about to be withdrawn, Mei Rui stepped forward and grabbed the hand, the early spring wind caressing her face, and the man's slightly surprised gaze.

Got you.

She smiled at the man, "Lu Hujun." ”
