Chapter 23: Shi Linghuan
Looking around, it's empty, and there's no way to hide people. And the only place where people can be hidden is this small patch of flowers right now. Looking at this man's reaction, it didn't look like he wanted to hurt her.
Ning Yun gradually regained her composure.
The man who was squatting on the ground with his back to Ning Yun obviously felt that someone had hit him, but instead of getting up, he cowered even more, moving awkwardly into the flowers, as if those flowers and leaves could cover his body.
Looking at what he is wearing, you know that he is by no means a slave of the Shi family. So who is it?
"You ......" Ning Yun took a step forward.
At this moment, the man finally reacted, and he just glanced back at Ning Yun at first. Then, he pounced on Ning Yun suddenly.
Ning Yun didn't know why, and was forced to retreat again and again by him. Finally, I watched the man pull a flower out of the dirt. It was a camellia that had just been accidentally stepped on by Ning Yun.
The man held it in his hand, and said something in his mouth: "Huahua, my flower...... Don't step on my flowers. â
His expression and posture reveal a bit of childishness and eccentricity that does not match his age...... He looks like he is twenty years old, but he speaks and acts like a child who has not grown up. Could it be that this man is stupid?
Ning Yun stepped on his flower, and he already apologized, and he couldn't bear to look at him again.
"Are these all the flowers you planted? It's beautiful. Ning Yun asked softly.
The man lowered his head and ignored it, looking a little afraid of strangers.
Ning Yun pointed to the one that had just been stepped on by herself, and continued: "This is a camellia, it's really rare to bloom so well." It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into it, and ordinary people may not be able to raise camellia so well! â
Hearing her say this, the man finally let down his guard, and he looked very happy, lowered his head, and grinned.
Ning Yun patiently picked up a few petals scattered on the ground one by one, spread them in the palm of her hand and handed them to him, comforting him like a child: "I'm sorry, I accidentally stepped on your flower." If the flowers are raised and taken care of, they should still live. It's just a pity for this flower...... Why don't you give me these petals, I like them tightly. Put it in your purse and make a sachet of incense, it tastes much better than those spices. â
As he spoke, he seriously opened the sachet on his waist and carefully put the petals into it one by one.
The man on the other side was very excited when he heard that the flowers he raised were affirmed and liked. Hula stood up from the grass and only stared at Ning Yun's sachet and giggled.
The man in front of him stood up straight, much taller than Ning Yun. He is tall and handsome, if he were not mentally slow, he should be a good boy who makes girls admire now, but it's a pity......
Ning Yun glanced at his waist and had already confirmed the man's identity: because, the Shijia jade plate engraved with the word "Huan" was hanging on his waist.
The son looks like this, and Mrs. Shi, as a mother, should be the most heart-wrenching one.
Shi Linghuan, Shi Guogong's only son-in-law, is mentally incomplete, there has been no news in Kyoto for so many years, how hard Mrs. Shi is hiding it!
While Ning Yun sighed and regretted, she heard Rusheng call her "young grandmother" from afar.
When Shi Linghuan heard the sound, he let go like a frightened bird, and "escaped" through the flowers with a whoosh. By the time Rusheng arrived, he couldn't even see the figure.
"Young grandma, the slave is late!"
Ning Yun felt like a mirror in her heart, and she didn't speak, but just glanced at her coldly.
Rusheng was originally calm and composed, but when he was swept away by Ning Yun's eyes, he immediately lowered his head weakly, and secretly said in his heart: This young grandmother's eyes are also sharper, and she swept over at a glance, which made people breathless. Why didn't you think she was so powerful before? I knew that this offending business should be done by Ruoyun!
Ning Yun followed Rusheng through this garden, turned a few corners, and saw the pavilion in her mouth.
In the distance, I saw the black-robed man sitting inside.
From the first time she saw him, Ning Yun knew that the adopted son of this Shi family was by no means as stupid as she originally thought. Not only that, but he is also very shrewd. He wears a good mask, paralyzing his enemies while concealing his true colors.
Ning Yun was also curious about his true purpose for the first time. The "chance encounter" between himself and Shi Linghuan, which he took great pains to arrange, was it to let himself see the form of the historian clearly? So now, he's ready to take off his mask and talk to himself?
Ning Yun was calm and sat on the stone bench in the pavilion. The terrain here is high, and when you sit in it and look at it, you can see the scene in the entire garden, including the flower garden where she bumped into Shi Linghuan just now.
There was a stove next to it, and the water on it was boiling hotly and steaming. On the stone table, there is a set of blue and white glazed official kiln lotus-shaped teapots, and two small green and white glazed bowls of the same texture.
Shi Lingfeng Ping retired from the others and made tea himself. Boil water, blanch cups, add tea, and fill water...... The slender and bony fingers are flipped up and down, the movements are smooth and natural, the posture is elegant and elegant, and the Buddha is used to it.
Ning Yun took the bowl from his hand, took a sip lightly, and said first: "Thanks to the second master's thoughts, the concubine came over to enjoy a good scene, but unfortunately, the concubine accidentally stepped on it." Ning Yun looked up at him, followed his example with a smile on her face, and continued: "Speaking of which, the concubine has to thank the second master first. If I hadn't known that my lord had specially invited me over, I would have almost thought that someone had deliberately led me here with bad intentions, so that I could step on other people's flowers and wait for compensation! â
Shi Lingfeng lowered his head and drank tea, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his tone was relaxed: "The outside table is very complicated, not a place to enjoy flowers, I see that this pavilion is very good, the terrain is high, it is a place with a great view, so I called Mrs. to come over and share this beautiful scenery." Madame just came over, and the flowers haven't been seen yet, why did you thank me first? I don't know, Mrs. has already rewarded it on the way? It's a pity, it's a pity! Shi Lingfeng pretended to be annoyed and shook his head, and when he caught a glimpse of the anger in Ning Yun's eyes, he felt happy.
Ning Yun didn't bother to talk to him about the dumb riddle, put away her smile, and said bluntly: "Oh? Could it be that the concubine thought too much and misunderstood the second master? Since it is not the meaning of the second master, it is Rusheng's own opinion. In this case, when I go back, I will send someone to beat her board and send her to Zhuangzi. If the second master is reluctant, he can say it early. Don't come to blame me for the concubine again. â
Shi Lingfeng almost couldn't help laughing, and said fakely: "That's it, Mrs. is so angry, I don't dare to disobey my husband." If you want to get rid of it, just get rid of that red cloud, for the husband and the mother, but it's really unbearable. This is like Sheng, which was rewarded by the ancestors, and I hope that Mrs. will show mercy! â
Hearing him talk about the relationship between Mrs. Shi and Hongyun so naturally, Ning Yun felt a little strange. It sounded like a temptation, but the tone and demeanor were not the same as before. What does he mean?
"Although Hongyun was brought in by a concubine, she is now also the second master's person. Besides, in this courtyard, no one is bigger than the second master. The second master can pick whoever he wants, who dares to say one more word" Ning Yun's meaning is obvious: If you want to dispose of Hongyun, please feel free, don't let me do it, I don't want to wade into this troubled water.
"Good!" Shi Lingfeng's voice was crisp, beckoning Rusheng from a distance to come over, and said with a cold face: "You just led the way and dereliction of duty, and almost let Mrs. go to the wrong place, can you admit your mistake?" â
Rusheng knelt on the ground and bowed his head tightly: "The slave knows her mistake and is willing to be punished." "Even if you are panicked and scared, you don't lose your rules.
"Okay, Mrs. is lenient, I will only punish you for three months, and give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and if you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you don't do well, you will be punished for several crimes." Shi Lingfeng didn't look at Rusheng, only added water to the tea bowl, and continued in a cold voice: "A while ago, a small bag of gold bills was lost in Madame's room, some people say that Hongyun took it, you call Shangcaiyue together, bring a few thick mothers-in-law, and quickly check it out." If the matter is true, the punishment will be severe. You don't have to hide it, and let the other people in the yard watch it, so that they can be a reminder. â
Is he ready to get rid of the red clouds? Let him find an excuse to deal with it, what is the reason for calling Caiyue! Caiyue's hot-blooded one, like Sheng, screamed, don't you run the first one?! And it's clear that it's going to be done with great fanfare, isn't it just for Mrs. Shi to see?
If Mrs. Shi knew that Hongyun was disposed of by Caiyue and Rusheng together, wouldn't she suspect Ning Yun first? She would definitely think that it was Ning Yun who was against the water and was going to join forces with Shi Lingfeng to deal with her.
No matter how Shi Lingfeng and Shi Sun's fight, Ning Yun just pretended to be confused on both sides, and kept ZĂ i with a cold view and self-preservation, and was not ready to wade into this troubled water. But being stirred up like this by Shi Lingfeng, I am afraid that it will not be able to be cleaned in the future.
Another point, when Caiyue framed Hongyu for stealing things, wasn't Shi Lingfeng in the main military camp, how could he know? And he knows so well that he even knows what he stole is. He is suing Ning Yun, and he is under his control, forcing Ning Yun to see the shape clearly and make a choice.
