Chapter 55: Things Take a Turn Sharply
Leng Ruolan looked at the suddenly extra pieces of meat in the bowl in a daze, turned her head to Yu Chixuan, and smiled softly. Wei Chixuan was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes away, and buried his head in cooking. Leng Ruolan smiled even more happily, he was actually really good, but he was usually too cold. I don't know if it's dazzling, but I feel that Wei Chixuan's face is more red, it should be a mistake, the light?
Of course, the other two people at the same table also saw Yu Chixuan serving vegetables to Leng Ruolan, glanced at each other, pretended not to see anything, and continued to bury their heads in hard work. My cousin should actually have feelings for Leng Ruolan, but his hatred for Chongming Fort is too deep, and when he sincerely accepts Leng Ruolan's innocence one day, I believe that the two of them will be happy.
I don't know if the fear was taken over by dinner, and after eating, Xiao Cui couldn't find the trace of the scared trembling just now. He also deliberately ran to Lu Shiqi's side and said respectfully, "Young Master Lu, I wish you a peaceful sleep." "Presumably to remind him not to forget to take her out tomorrow.
Lu Shiqi snickered in his heart, this girl is so funny, "Don't worry, I can't forget it." Turning to Wei Chixuan, "Cousin, I'll go back to the room first, don't look for me if it's okay." "It's best not to look for me if you have something, I've slept outside by a tree for a few days, I'm not feeling well, I must come back from a good night's sleep, and of course I have to take a hot bath before going to bed. The thought of taking a hot bath and then lying on the bed and sleeping soundly makes my heart excited. Once upon a time, I, Lu Shiqi, would be satisfied for a bed and a basin of hot water, cousin-in-law, for you, I will sacrifice a lot this time!
Yu Chixuan nodded, and Lu Shiqi left directly. Zhang Ruitai bowed his hand to Yu Chixuan, "That subordinate will not disturb the rest of the owner, and retire first." Wei Chixuan just nodded.
sent the groom and Chaoyan away, and finally took Leng Ruolan and her two maids through the corridor on the second floor, walked to the end of the corridor, and then under Xiao Cui's surprised gaze, he reached out and pushed away the wall that was blocking him, and a staircase was revealed behind the wall! Leng Ruolan and Xi Yu were both a little surprised, looking at Yu Chixuan's appearance, they should be very familiar with this inn, and even know such a hidden staircase.
Walking down the stairs, I found that it was a small courtyard with a single family. The environment is quiet, compared to the noise outside, it is simply two worlds.
Leng Ruolan has always felt strange in her heart, this Pingwa Town, it doesn't look like a wealthy town, how can there be such a luxurious inn, of course, the name is forgotten, if there is no tiger skin, it is not disgraced by the prestige, at least the decoration inside is quite atmospheric, and the food is not bad. Now it seems that this may be the property of Haode Villa, for Wei Chixuan to come to rest occasionally, similar to the annex in Huanshui Town. Later, I thought, I can't build a thing like this wherever he goes, right?!
Wei Chixuan didn't open his mouth to explain, pointed to the door on the left and said, "Going out here is the lobby of the inn, if you need to go there to find Xiao Er." Then he walked straight to the door on the right, "You live here, Xiyu and Xiaocui live in the next room." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Leng Ruolan was a little stunned, "Xianggong, what about you?" The words blurted out like that. I didn't expect that now he doesn't even call his wife, and he is even lazy to deal with it?
Wei Chixuan paused, didn't look back, and threw out a sentence, "I still have something to do." And he went on.
Leng Ruolan stood in place in a daze, not knowing how to react for a while. You should be happy, shouldn't you? Isn't it easier for him to ignore himself? Don't worry about how to spend the night, yes, you should be happy, but why are you a little lost in the bottom of your heart?
Xi Yu stood behind Leng Ruolan, her brows furrowed, her eyes were worried, it seemed that what the pavilion master was worried about had happened. He pretended to be so good before, even the pavilion master was deceived, but he didn't expect that he had just left Huanshui Town not far away, and he was like this. On the day he left, he had already seen the clues, and he was making excuses for him at the time, but later he saw that the atmosphere between the two was better, and he thought that it would gradually get better, but it turned out like this! The melancholy in his eyes was replaced by Li Guang, staring at Yu Chixuan's back tightly, he was really so confident, thinking that after leaving Bishui Pavilion, the pavilion master would have nothing to do with him?
Xiaocui doesn't know what's going on, how can the uncle, who has always been very gentle to the young lady before, seem to be a different person?! Looking at Leng Ruolan uneasily, Miss seemed to be very unhappy, did they quarrel? No, I didn't hear them quarrel, and besides, Miss is so gentle, how can she quarrel! Is it because I have no rules that my uncle is angry?! But after the young lady said it, I have to follow the rules well, just now I saw the wall turned into a door, I just looked at it curiously, did not speak, came to this courtyard, I did not speak, so, it is not my problem, right? The more Xiao Cui thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she twisted her handkerchief to look at Xiyu at a loss, but Xiyu had no time to look at her.
Leng Ruolan just stood like that, until Yu Chixuan's figure disappeared as the door of the house in the middle opened and closed, then she turned around and walked towards the room behind her. Xiyu turned around, stepped forward and opened the door, Xiao Cui lowered her head and peeked at Leng Ruolan from time to time, not daring to snort.
Leng Ruolan sighed, and opened her mouth to comfort the two maids who were frightened by Wei Chixuan's sudden change, "It's okay, don't worry, it's just that my uncle is busy with affairs, just wait for him to finish." β
Seeing that Leng Ruolan no longer looked like she was about to cry at any time like just now, Xiao Cui raised her head a little higher, and asked cautiously, "Isn't my uncle angry because of Xiao Cui?" β
It's such a naΓ―ve girl, it seems that she was really scared. "Don't worry, it's none of your business." It would be nice if it was that simple, now even I don't fully understand the reason for the matter, "Xiyu, you go and ask someone to fetch me a basin of hot water; Xiaocui, you go and make me a pot of tea. Hide the doubts in your hearts and calmly tell them to do their own things.
Xiao Cui was still not at ease, and looked at Leng Ruolan without moving. Xiyu looked at Leng Ruolan, knowing that Miss didn't want them to ask more, so she pulled Xiaocui over, "Go make tea, I'll call someone to fetch hot water, hurry up and wait for Miss to rest, let's go to bed early, didn't you ask Lu Gongzi to go outside to play tomorrow?" β
Thinking of playing, Xiaocui's eyes lit up, and then darkened again, Miss is like that, how can I play. "I'm going to accompany Miss tomorrow."
Finally, you have a little conscience, and it doesn't hurt in vain, "Don't worry, didn't Miss say it?" My uncle has something to do, so I don't have time to accompany Miss, and Miss will go out with you tomorrow. β
Xiao Cui's eyes lit up now, "Really?!" β
"Of course it's true. But if you don't hurry up and wait for the young lady, I guess you'll have to stay here tomorrow. Xiyu sighed leisurely.
"I'm going to make tea right now." As he spoke, he shook off Xi Yu's hand and rushed outside by himself.
Xiyu turned around and looked at Leng Ruolan's room behind her, then turned her head to look at Wei Chixuan's room, sighed, turned around and walked quickly outside the courtyard. Let's serve the young lady to rest first, and then solve something slowly.
Leng Ruolan quietly looked at the firelight, took out the piece of jade that Lin Xuezhi gave her from her body, and stroked the pattern on it. It's strange, at the beginning, I always wanted to leave as soon as I found an opportunity, but it seems that the idea of leaving has not appeared in my mind for the past two days, is the environment changing? Because you're already outside, you're no longer in a hurry to leave? But according to the situation just now, let's hurry up and find a chance to escape, Wei Chixuan's attitude is always unsettling, and he seems to be beginning to care about his attitude, which is really not a good phenomenon.
Wei Chixuan closed the door with a "bump" and strode into the room. Leng Ruolan's sluggish expression just now has been floating in her mind, but she deserves this qiΔ, if you want to blame it, you will be blamed for the blood flowing from your family! It's just that her heart seems to be a little tight, she must be excited, because of her foolish appearance. Walked through the outer hall and walked into the study inside, where on the desk were some of the matters and documents that his subordinates had sent in the past few days that needed to be dealt with personally, which had accumulated into a thick stack due to the long delay on the road. I took a few letters and read them, took the pen and ink to write down the processing method, and when I saw the sixth letter, my eyes narrowed, and the paper in my hand was held into a ball, to Huatian!
Xiyu went outside to ask the guy to bring hot water in, and walked back to Leng Ruolan's room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Leng Ruolan sitting quietly in front of the candlestick, and called softly, "Miss." Without stopping, he walked straight towards her.
Leng Ruolan heard Xiyu's cry and knew that someone had entered the room, and with a twist of her wrist, she tucked the jade into her cuffs, and turned to look at her with a peaceful smile, "Come back, where is the hot water?" β
Xiyu saw Leng Ruolan smiling so peacefully, her eyes flashed, the seemingly weak young lady was actually very strong in her bones, so the pavilion master felt so sorry for her. Just looking at such a lonely back, with this beautiful smile, it only makes people want to pity her even more, uncle, how can you bear to hurt such a young lady? I must protect Miss and never let you hurt her again! Xiyu's gaze became firm.
Standing respectfully in front of Leng Ruolan, "The hot water has been prepared by the guys at the inn, and it will be delivered in a while." β
"Well, then you can come and get the hair off my head for me."
"Yes," stepped forward, unwrapped the accessories on Leng Ruolan's head, and hesitated, "Was Miss thinking about her uncle just now?" β
Who knew that Leng Ruolan actually said leisurely, "Xiyu, I'm a little homesick." Leng Ruolan sat down just now, and somehow thought of her two friends in the modern era, if they were there, she wouldn't have to sit here alone and wander, at least someone could accompany her to think about it. Here, although there are Xiyu and Xiaocui, they are maids after all, and many things cannot be discussed with them.
Miss felt wronged, so she was homesick so quickly, "If Miss wants to be the pavilion master, you can write a letter to Chaoyan to find someone to send back to Bishui Pavilion." β
