Chapter 14: The Closed House
A person like him, who has never seen any scenes, has been stormy all the way, walking on the tip of the knife every step of the way, and has already forged a pair of iron and stone hearts, but she only shed two tears, and she can also ask him a question, although it is still a cold and indifferent voice, savoring it carefully, and chewing out some warmth.
You say that he is unkind, and he has a compassionate heart, which he shows again and again in front of her, without concealing it at all.
Mei Rui said very sincerely: "I've been looking at the door curtain for a long time, and my eyes are very astringent, which makes the guards bothered." β
Lu Zhi thought that she was going to say what kind of reason she was going to say, or to intercede, or to repent, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple words, and he bluntly explained that he had nothing to do with him, and in vain he thought that he had made her cry, but it turned out to be self-inflicted.
The evil fire in his heart somehow rushed up, Lu Zhi provoked a laugh, although it was the usual detached appearance, but against his unique eyebrows and eyes, there was a confusing color: "What, that curtain is better than me?" β
When he said this, he felt that it was wrong, he was a good and dignified big living person, and compared it with the door curtain, didn't he break his own figure? But the words that came out of his mouth were like water spilled out, and he couldn't take it back if he wanted to, Lu Zhi simply pressed the corners of his lips, stared at her, and waited for her reply.
Mei Rui felt that she must be stunned, how could she see the meaning of anger in the man's eyes, she couldn't help but blurt out: "How come, the guards are much better-looking." β
She is really sincere, Lu Zhi was amused by her words, hooked the corners of her lips and smiled, this smile is not much the same as those faint smiles as water in the ordinary day, the jade carving person seems to have come to life, Mei Rui's eyes straightened, and hurriedly removed her eyes, afraid of being hooked by the smile, and only then did she realize that her words were too straightforward, and she turned red. Lu Zhi turned the water-colored jade wrench on his thumb, suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked very cautiously: "The protector hasn't told the slave maid yet, where is this going?" β
"In short, I don't want to throw you into the palace."
It turned out that he had already seen through her thoughts, Mei Rui's heart hanging in the air fell, and her demeanor, which was sitting like pins and needles, eased a little, she stroked her chest and smiled at Lu Zhi: "Thank you, you have a lot." β
But he still didn't tell her where she was going, there was a noisy crowd outside the car, I think I was passing by a market or something, Chang'an's West Market she had only been to so many times seven years ago, and since entering the palace, she has never been able to see the grand scene of thousands of lights. In her heart, she said that she was very longing, the curtains of the car were blown up and down by the wind, and she couldn't stop sweeping her eyes outside, and her heart seemed to be flying out.
The full expectation was all seen by Lu Zhen, but he just watched, the beauty with a bun was sitting there, her hands were stacked on her knees very reservedly, and her neck was slightly tilted to one side, which made the lines look particularly pleasing to the eye. Winter clothes are bloated, wrapping her figure tightly, but you can still see some exquisite curves, if it is a summer, the concubines of the school palace wear a thin silk coat, hanging a light gauze and mud gold painted shawl on their arms, a large handful of faint Valerian flower petticoat, a touch of scenery on the chest, what a beautiful style.
Thinking about it, it was crooked, Lu Zhi pressed the tiger's mouth with his thumb, and until the car stopped, he didn't say too much.
The carriage stopped in front of a mansion, and Fu San'er opened the curtain and said, "My lord, it's time to go to the house." β
Lu Zhi nodded, seeing that Mei Rui was sitting there without moving, only frowning, Fu San'er raised his voice and called to Mei Rui in understanding: "Aunt Rui, please come here!" β
Mei Rui was in a trance, and was called back to her soul by Fu San'er's voice, blinked her eyes blankly, and met Lu Zhen's unfazed gaze, and suddenly came to her senses, and turned her head to look at Fu San'er: "Arrived?" β
Fu San'er laughed: "Yes, it's here, please come down to my aunt." β
Mei Rui stepped on the ground with Fu San'er's hand, turned around, Lu Zhi had already bent down and walked out of the car, standing there condescendingly looking down at her, she also had some eyesight, stepped forward and raised her hand, and sure enough, Lu Zhen's arm was on her palm.
Through the thick sleeves of his winter coat, she could barely hold the line of his forearm, which was extraordinarily powerful, and maybe there was a good body with a pair of strength hidden in it. It is said that when you see the color, Mei Rui is also difficult to avoid vulgarity, Lu Zhen's appearance is the top-notch kind, no matter how you pick, you can't pick a business trip, but it's a pity that you are not a gentleman, otherwise I don't know how many boudoir daughters will become dream people.
She secretly felt a little sorry in her heart, helped Lu Shu get off the carriage, withdrew her hand and took a step back, her eyes swept to the door of the mansion, and the three words like iron painting silver hooks - "Protector's Mansion" jumped into her eyes.
Generally speaking, eunuchs are not allowed to set up mansions outside, even if they want to leave the palace, they have to look at the meaning of the above. But Lu Zhi is different, he is a character who has to shake off a layer of ash when he stomps his feet in Chang'an City, and the mansion is also magnificent, and the two Rui beasts in front of the door are staring at the big eyes of the copper bell, and they are holding the gate of this vermilion lacquer.
Mei Rui was stunned, she remembered that she lived in the Zhao Mansion back then, and she didn't necessarily have such a grand pomp, there were two red lanterns hanging under the gate of the aconite, it was almost evening, it was time to light them.
Zhu Men was pushed open with a squeak, and four attendants came out of it, all in Tsing Yi, and the one led by them said to Lu Zhen: "Why do you think that the guards are back today?" I didn't mention it, and I didn't have time to prepare the food. β
Lu Zhi walked inside: "It's okay, I'm just coming back to take a look." β
His front feet stepped into the threshold, Mei Rui was still staying in place, and Fu San'er pulled her: "Auntie, come back to your senses." β
Mei Rui shook her head and followed Fu San'er inside, the more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand, and saw Lu Zhi walking in front of her with her hands in her hands, so she asked Fu San'er in a low voice: "Father-in-law Fu, what does he mean by protecting the army?" β
Fu San'er winked at her: "What do you think adults mean?" β
It seems that he has been following Lu Zhi for a long time, and the people around him have learned from him, and they just don't want to tell you clearly. Mei Rui was a little anxious, slowed down her pace and pulled Fu San'er back: "Father-in-law Fu, you are doing well, to be honest, I was very in awe of the protectors before." The Protector's behavior today is unexpected, which makes me really a little worried, Fu Gonggong has been with the Protector for so long, I want to be able to solve my doubts, and I also ask Fu Gong to announce sΓΉ me, whether the Protector is really angry. β
As he spoke, he glanced forward, and when he saw that no one noticed, he was about to take off his earrings and stuff them to Fu San'er.
Fu San'er belched: "I can't help it, I can't help it, aunt!" His voice was a little louder, and before Mei Rui could let him be quieter, he was heard by the group in front of him, Lu Zhi turned around, just in time to see her taking off the earrings, and asked lightly, "What is the bachelor doing?" β
Mei Rui was silent, Lu Zhi instructed the attendant to prepare dinner, and by the way, he also sent Fu San'er down, and stood at the end of the corridor with his hands behind his back to look at her, the residual afterglow in the sky gradually dimmed, making his outline blurred, Mei Rui only heard his voice coming, and couldn't distinguish joy and anger: "Just ask me directly about something, why does the bachelor always like to ask others?" β
"The slave asked the guard, but the guard didn't tell the slave."
She replied fifteen-ten, and Lu Zhi chuckled: "It's not about this." β
If she was really brought out to settle the account, Mei Rui gritted her teeth, thinking that most of the explanations would be in this mansion, if she bowed her head and admitted her mistake to him now, she didn't know if it would work, and when she was still calculating, Lu Zhi had already turned her back and threw down a sentence: "Eat first." And he went on.
Mei Rui was stunned, the mansion in the shade was like a beast with fangs, opening its teeth and claws to engulf people, she hurriedly rushed up, about three steps away from Lu Zhi, she didn't dare to get too close, she really couldn't guess Lu Zhen's thoughts, and felt more mysterious than a woman.
Then I entered the room and walked to the left, I saw a table of eight immortals, with steaming dishes on it, Mei Rui smelled the aroma, and suddenly felt a little hungry, the first one was Diao Chan Tofu, which compared the loach to the famous but depressed Dong Taishi, Mei Rui remembered that this was a dish that Huaizhu liked to do, she had borrowed the small kitchen in the palace of Concubine Rong to make it for Huaizhu, and the greedy Huaizhu ate all the plate of tofu.
She hasn't gone back yet, Huaizhu should be in a hurry! Mei Rui frowned, Lu Zhiye had already sat down at the table, put his hand on the table, bent his fingers and knocked on the table: "What are you still stunned about?" β
Is this to sit at the same table with him for dinner? Mei Rui looked at the table again, and there were indeed two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, the more this meal looked more and more like a Hongmen banquet, Mei Rui lowered her eyes: "The slave doesn't dare." β
"What else would the bachelor not dare?" Lu Zhi's tone was full of ridicule, "I respect the bachelor as a heroine among women, and I want to have a good time with the bachelor, but I didn't expect the bachelor to refuse to reward me with this face, it's a pity." β
Where is not to give him face, it is clear that he doesn't understand what he wants to do at all, Mei Rui said to him with the corners of her lips: "The protectors have always been like this when they talk, do they like to go around the bend?" β
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why did the bachelor say this?" β
He clearly wants to be much higher than her, but he calls her one by one, and I am afraid that there is not much respect in the meantime. Mei Rui only came to her senses at this time, and looked at Lu Zhi without evading: "Is the protector annoying that the slave maid asked His Majesty, what happened before you and Emperor Huai?" β
Seeing that he didn't speak, she straightened her back and continued: "If you don't wake up, you will hurt the survivors, you read this sentence to Emperor Huai, right?" β
Between the candle shadows, Lu Zhen's expression became gloomy, the corners of his mouth collapsed, and he lifted his eyes to look at her: "You are indeed not small. β
