Chapter 406: With a Name
When Yuan Xiu walked over, Ah Rong just came out of the west courtyard gate and stood at the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing this situation, Yuan Xiu couldn't get around.
When she walked nearby, she paused in her footsteps, and after thinking about it, she had to walk up to him and ask him a question as she passed the gate on the west side of the courtyard.
"Ah Rong, I saw Master Wan and them all going to the street at the door this morning, didn't you go with them?"
Yuan Xiu looked at Ah Rong and asked.
"Is there a lot to do in the hospital?"
It's better not to ask, but as soon as she asked, Ah Rong suddenly complained to her with a bitter face: "Hey, Master Wan and Xiao Lin gave me a bunch of work to do when they left." ”
He said in a sullen tone: "They go to the street to buy things, and they don't let people be idle!" ”
"However, I guess it's probably Lord Liu's meaning," Ah Rong said in a low voice, "When Master Wan was with us, I didn't see him assign so many things to do for us!" ”
He paused, looked at Yuan Xiu, and then added: "Fortunately, my movements are quite fast, and the work is done now!" ”
Ah Rong's gaze fell on Yuan Xiu.
He and Yuan Xiu have met several times in a few days, and they are gradually getting acquainted.
Because of Xiaolin, the people in their small courtyard are also more friendly with Yuan Xiu in the flower garden.
At this moment, Ah Rong looked at the box Yuan Xiu was holding in his hand, and his eyes looked fixed for a few seconds.
Then Ah Rong said to her: "Yuan Xiu, where are you going with the box?" ”
Yuan Xiu sighed and said, "Just like you, my grandfather also has something for me to do." ”
"Grandpa saw me idle in the yard, and he couldn't see me idle."
"My grandfather used to say idle...... People are lazy! ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Xiu's mouth, and he looked at Ah Rong and said, "This pot of flowers and plants is going to be sent to the imperial study, but you have to take it to Lady Liu first." ”
After Yuan Xiu finished speaking, he glanced into the distance.
Even if it was dawn, a corner of the house where they were...... Still as deserted as ever.
After listening to this, Ah Rong lowered his head and thought about it, then looked at Yuan Xiu again and said, "Female Official Liu's residence seems to be quite far away from here, and it is very heavy for you to hold a box alone!" ”
He volunteered: "Yuan Xiu, since Xiaolin is not here at this time, I will help you." ”
"Why don't I take it for you?"
After Yuan Xiu heard this, his expression hesitated, and he didn't reply to him immediately.
Later, Ah Rong stepped forward and reached out without saying a word and took the big box that Yuan Xiu was holding in his hand.
Yuan Xiu had no choice but to open his mouth to thank him: "Ah Rong, thank you!" ”
...... After Ah Rong took the box, he reached out and shook it slightly.
Then, he looked at Yuan Xiu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Hey, Yuan Xiu...... The box doesn't feel heavy in your hand. ”
Ah Rong felt very strange, Yuan Xiu's look just now made him have a delusion.
This box is very heavy!
"Yuan Xiu, what do I think of you when you hold it...... So tired look. ”
"It's so slow to walk far away."
As soon as Ah Rong turns on the nagging mode, he will continue to talk one after another.
Yuan Xiu glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and then responded lightly: "The box is really not heavy, otherwise Grandpa wouldn't let me send it." ”
Yuan Xiu wanted to say, what does it have to do with whether she is tired or not when she holds the box?
She's just not concentrating, and her mind is thinking about something else, okay?!
Yuan Xiu looked around, not wanting to listen to Ah Rong's nagging anymore, so the topic changed.
"Ah Rong, you help me get something, Xiao Lin and Master Wan are not there, in this case...... There's no one in the courtyard. ”
Yuan Xiu was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at him and said, "Everyone has walked away...... Is it okay? ”
After all, it is a courtyard where craftsmen live, and no one is left, Yuan Xiu's heart doesn't seem to be very good!
Yuan Xiu turned his mind around, looked at Ah Rong with a hesitant expression, and then asked, "Will someone come looking for you?" ”
Ah Rong stared at her and asked, "Who is looking for her?" Yuan Xiu, are you talking about the people in the house? ”
"Ha, no," he laughed, "the people in the house...... They know that Master Wan is not there, where will they come to find it! ”
Ah Rong complained again: "Yuan Xiu, we live in such a remote place, and now the tasks have been assigned." ”
"Female Official Liu is in charge of this area, she knows that Master Wan is not here, and she will definitely not come to me as a junior apprentice."
"Besides, there are important things, Master Wan won't tell me and Xiaolin easily."
Yuan Xiu's gaze froze for a moment, then turned his head away and said, "My grandfather is the same." ”
"If there's something important, he doesn't want to mention it."
"Okay, don't worry," Ah Rong could hear Yuan Xiu's depressed mood.
After glancing back, Ah Rong retracted his gaze and smiled: "Yuan Xiu, there are no important things in our yard except for cars and tools, of course it's okay." ”
"Besides, my door is closed!"
Ah Rong smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is a car parked in the yard instead of silver!" ”
"If you have money, you need to worry!"
He took the box containing the flowers and plants and walked to the front.
Yuan Xiu was relaxed at this moment, and hurriedly followed.
"Yuan Xiu, have you lived in the mansion with your grandfather for a long time?"
Ah Rong looked at Yuan Xiu and asked.
Yuan Xiu turned his head sideways to meet his gaze, and answered: "Yes, it's been a long time." ”
"Grandpa has always been a gardener here, taking care of the flowers and plants here."
"Yuan Xiu, will you still stay in the house in the future?"
Ah Rong slowed down, looked at Yuan Xiu again and asked, "If you want to say that here in Beidi Town, how many big families need to hire florists?" ”
"My grandfather talked about wanting to go out, but he hasn't decided where to go."
"He probably doesn't want to work in the house for a long time, we've been staying for a long time."
Yuan Xiu replied casually.
Her mind was still on things outside the house.
Xiao Lin and the others followed the attendant to the street, and when they were leaving, they also mentioned the matter of Shun'an Hall to him.
But now that I think about it, Xiao Lin may not have the opportunity to go to Shun'an Hall!
When he went out this time, he was accompanied by his attendants, and he was not so free.
The attendant was someone from Lady Liu's side, and it was fake to help with things, but it was just a name.
In fact, Lady Liu sent someone to go out with her, just like other precedents in the house...... Actually, it was sent out to keep an eye on it.
When the gardener went out, he never sent someone to follow him.
Although they have to be informed about coming and going, they are freer than Xiaolin and the others.
One is because the gardener has been in the house for a long time, and the other is because what they do is really not that important.
Yuan Xiu followed behind Ah Rong.
She was more familiar with the trails in the house than Ah Rong and them, so it didn't take long for her to be more familiar with the routes...... Naturally, Yuan Xiu walked to the front to lead the way.
Ah Rong followed her through a forest.
When they continued to walk along the path next to the rockery, Ah Rong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yuan Xiu, you know all the roads here. ”
Yuan Xiu responded: "Yes, I'm quite familiar with it, because I walk a lot!" ”
"Well, unlike Xiaolin, take him with you, and sometimes you get lost!"
When Ah Rong said this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "That guy from Xiaolin...... He followed Master Wan out, and it would be fun if he got lost in Northland Town! ”
Hearing this, Yuan Xiu glanced at him a little speechlessly, and said in a disapproving tone: "No, there are people around Master Liu to follow, how is it possible." ”
"It's just talking, it's fun."
"By the way, Yuan Xiu, Xiao Lin said that he would bring me delicious food when he came back."
Ah Rong said with a happy expression and said, "That guy Xiaolin is very good at making food, if he is willing to buy the things he brought back, it will definitely be delicious." ”
Yuan Xiu curiously turned his head to look at Ah Rong and asked, "What you just said is true?" ”
In my impression, Ah Rong said this more than once, as if Yuan Xiu had also heard Xiaolin himself say that he could cook.
"Of course, Kobayashi said, we are in the big kitchen of the house...... There are so few things you can get to make a good meal. ”
Ah Rong's tone changed, he looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "But with those materials, even if he makes a bowl of soup...... The taste is not inferior to that made in the shops outside. ”
Yuan Xiu lowered his head in contemplation, and was silent for a moment.
Ah Rong looked at her and suddenly asked, "Yuan Xiu, I'm a little confused about the road ahead." ”
He explained: "The path you took me on, I haven't walked before!" ”
"That day, Xiao Lin met the palace maid in the house, and they drew a map for him to see, reminding him that he couldn't go to the backyard."
Ah Rong has enough gossip, Yuan Xiu looked at him and couldn't help frowning again.
Of course, she was a little curious about the things he mentioned.
"Ah Rong, how could the palace maid in the mansion know Xiao Lin?"
"It's not clear, that guy Xiaolin seems to be very likable, and every time he goes out, he will provoke ......"
As soon as Ah Rong opened the chatterbox, he almost couldn't hold it.
He suddenly thought that this was not to cause trouble for Xiao Lin?
In case that guy is duplicitous, he actually has a little meaning to Yuan Xiu, and it doesn't seem appropriate to say something like this!
Where would Yuan Xiu guess Ah Rong's thoughts, and felt that he suddenly stopped the topic and looked suspicious.
Ah Rong turned his head to look at the road he had walked, and then said: "There are many people in the house, there are many people coming and going, and it is inevitable to run into them." ”
He paused and said, "That palace maid sister probably met by accident, it seems that she asked Xiao Lin to help bring things, and they got acquainted." ”
"Well, Kobayashi is a warm-hearted person who is willing to help others."
Hearing this, Yuan Xiu lowered his head and muttered a few words to himself.
"Sometimes I don't know what he's thinking, and I think he's always distracted when he talks to me!"
This sentence can be said to be to the point, Ah Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Yuan Xiu.
If he hadn't been holding a big box in his hand, he would have almost clapped!
"Yuan Xiu, you agree with me, that guy Xiaolin is distracted at every turn, and he doesn't know what he's thinking in his head!"
"You don't know, I also reminded him, and I reminded him several times!"
Ah Rong raised his voice a little and said: "I told him that if he is called by the female official for questioning, he will not be able to answer at that time, and his mind will turn to other places, and he may cause disaster to himself!" ”
"If His Majesty asks him about it, it's even more amazing!"
Yuan Xiu stopped and asked, "Then, what did Xiao Lin say?" Did he listen to what you said? ”
Ah Rong said in frustration: "He said that female officials are unlikely to come to him, let alone Your Majesty." ”
"Xiao Lin said that he was just doing chores in the small yard, and no one would deliberately look for him."
...... Ah Rong followed Yuan Xiu through a long corridor.
After walking through the forest ahead, they arrived at the path outside the courtyard where Lady Liu lived.
Ah Rong saw a palace maid passing by not far away, looked at it carefully, and called out to Yuan Xiu, who was walking in front of him, and said, "Yuan Xiu, that girl over there is the palace maid wearing lake green clothes, and she is the one I said." ”
"Who, oh, you said to show Xiao Lin the way?"
"Yes, it's her name, it seems to be ......"
"It's Sister Huiping, I know her too, you didn't say her name just now."
The palace maid walked through the path with her companions, and when she saw Yuan Xiu, she was slightly stunned, and her eyes shifted to Ah Rong.
Seeing clearly that he was holding the big box, Hui Ping simply stopped and waited.
The people in the flower garden have dealt with many palace maids.
They all walk around frequently near the female officer and the imperial study, and there are many opportunities to meet them.
...... Ah Rong walked outside the small courtyard with the box, and this time he stopped and didn't leave.
"Yuan Xiu, I can only help you get here, and I won't follow you in, or I'll go back first!"
Ah Rong didn't want to talk to that Lord Liu, he didn't come to find someone by himself, not to mention leaving a bunch of tasks for him to do.
He guessed that Master Liu meant to let Master Wan leave something before leaving.
If he's going to help get it in now...... It's certainly not good to hit head-on.
Lord Liu sees that he is so idle, maybe the next time Master Wan walks away, there will be more things to suppress!
Ah Rong stood under the big tree outside the courtyard wall, planning to watch Yuan Xiu enter and leave.
Yuan Xiu quickly looked at him and shook his head and said, "Ah Rong, you wait here, I will definitely be able to come out soon, Lord Liu just confirms, and we will go back together in a while." ”
Shicai greeted the palace maid and had a brief conversation with each other.
Yuan Xiuxin said that on the way back, he could find an opportunity to ask Ah Rong about Xiaolin-related things.
If he left alone now, and she was alone on the way back, there would be no chance to ask questions.
"Master Wan, they must not be back so soon, Ah Rong, you just wait for me!"
The latter finally agreed.
After thinking about it, Ah Rong also said to Yuan Xiu: "I'll go and wait in the forest next to me, don't stand on the path here." ”
He blinked, "There are so many people coming and going here, it's inevitable that someone will see me leave the courtyard and come here!" ”
Yuan Xiu took the box from his hand and walked towards the small courtyard.
