XXVIII. Resentment
When Yu Rui came back, he was dejected and listless. Ning Xi looked at Ah Hao, and Ah Hao whispered to her that the third young master was beaten by the master because he didn't go to Zhuangzi today.
Ning Xi didn't say anything, just made a cup of tea, put it in front of Yu Rui, and exited the door.
The house, the yard, it was quiet. Even You'er fell asleep in the cage early. Ning Xi's mood also became heavy, and the thing she was not good at was comforting the injured. Now, Yu Rui is in a bad mood, what should she say and what should she do?
After thinking for a moment, she took out her embroidered purse, looked at it a few times, and felt not very satisfied. This is usually embroidered and played, and I really can't take it. Thinking that she had been married for so long, she had not been able to embroider a purse for him, she was a little ashamed, she was really derelict as a wife!
I took out the needle and thread, and was about to choose the material when the door opened. Lan'er walked in and said, "Gege, the third young master invites you over." ”
"Okay, I'll go now." With that, she put down her needle and thread. After taking a few steps, I thought about it, turned back again, and still carried the purse in my arms just now. It's good to send this first, and embroider a new one for him later.
"Come here, talk to me." Seeing that Ning Xi came in, Yu Rui signaled, and waved his hand to order his subordinates to go out.
Ning Xi walked up to him, and when he saw that the tea hadn't moved at all, he picked up the teacup and said, "It's all cold, I'll make another cup." ”
"Sit down!" Yu Rui raised his head and said.
Ning Xi sat down and looked at him tenderly. She tried to reach into her arms, but stopped in mid-air. Her face couldn't help but flush a little, what's wrong with herself, what are you doing with this? At this time, what to do after taking it out, is it embarrassing, or waiting for him to thank her?
"Xi'er," Yu Rui's voice was a little weak, "what should I do, I can't give you a noble identity, maybe even the future." Amma just said that if I make another mistake, he will take Zhuangzi back, and if he gets angry, he may kick me out of the house! ”
"Don't be sad," Ning Xi said softly, "You do things well, there should be no problem." He should just say, after all, he is a father and son, how can there be any reason to really catch you. ”
"You don't know him," Yu Rui said, with a confused expression, "and he will be able to do what he says." Besides, I am a concubine, so I should not have come to this world in his opinion. Although there will be no big mistakes in managing things in Zhuangzi, it is still easy to find out small mistakes. Do you know the way, I have managed Zhuangzi all these years, although it sounds very beautiful, but in fact, everything is mine, the mistakes are also mine, and the credit is all given by him! ”
Ning Xi didn't know what to say, he was a descendant, so naturally he couldn't personally experience his helplessness. All she could do was stay by his side and listen quietly.
Yu Rui crouched on the table, his forehead pressed against the back of his hand, and closed his eyes, as if in deep thought. After a long time, he looked up, and there was a red mark the size of an egg on his forehead. He looked at Ning Xi and sighed: "You probably know about Yuan Gui's affairs, right?" ”
Ning Xi didn't know what he meant by his sudden change of topic, but she still nodded.
"Do you know the truth?" Yu Rui's tone was heavy, "After I marry you, I'm afraid that I don't have the ability to give you happiness." Yuan Gui is an example, I am afraid that one day, you will be like that woman, and you will leave me. ”
"How so." Ning Xi said busily. It's strange to say, when Yu Rui said this, she didn't have a trace of annoyance, "I'm not the kind of woman who covets wealth and nobility, others treat me well, I will naturally treat others well, and I will never do the ridiculous thing of revenge." ”
Yu Rui didn't seem to hear it, and seemed to be saying to himself: "I will treat you as well as Yuan Gui treats her, regardless of whether you will become like that woman or not." However, will you change, and one day, will you get tired of your current life and miss the glory and wealth that you once had in the palace? ”
"This question is not something you should worry about," Ning Xi looked directly at him, "Throughout the ages, there have been more love and tragedy, and there are still more men betraying women. In the past, there were Zhuo Wenjun, Wang Baochuan, Cui Yingying, and now there are other women, don't talk about it, just talk about the eldest young master's mother," Ning Xi lowered his voice, "I heard that after she gave birth to the eldest young master, her body collapsed, and she completely fell out of favor, and even when she was dying, the lord didn't go to see her, but is there such a thing?" ”
Yu Rui didn't answer her, still immersed in his emotions. He repeated what he had just said: "I will treat you as well as Yuan Gui treats her, no matter whether you will change or not." ”
Ning Xi was bored, she didn't sit there and walk, and she didn't stay. Finally, Yu Rui said that he was tired, and gradually fell asleep on the table. Ning Xi covered him with a piece of clothing, put the purse in his arms on the table, and exited the door. After that, she told Lan'er and Ah Hao to stay at the door, and Yu Rui called her at any time if she needed anything.
Outside the window, something was faintly floating down, was it snowing? She opened the window, and a cold wind rushed in her face, mixed with a few small snowflakes. It's snowing, the first snow. It was a gift from winter, and at this moment when it was snowing, she was no longer alone. It would have been nice if Yu Rui hadn't fallen asleep.
"Gege," Nian'er walked in, "Da Fu Jin and Qian Fu Jin invite you to enjoy the snow together." ”
Ning Xi glanced at the room where Yu Rui was sleeping and shook his head: "He's not in a good mood, I'm going to stay with him, you can go back for me." Tell them that the next time it snows, I'll watch it with them. ”
Nian'er nodded and retreated.
Early the next morning, Yu Rui disappeared. Ning Xi took Nian'er and them on the way to Yilian Garden, and there was a layer of white snow all around, and the weather was obviously cold. She tightened her cloak, winter was coming so soon.
From Yilian Garden, Ning Xi went to Meixiang Garden again. Mei Fujin was rarely warmer, and hurriedly beckoned Ning Xi into the house to warm up. Ning Xi sat down, drank the tea offered by Xiu'er, and said with a smile: "Does my mother also like snow days?" According to Yu Rui's instructions, when no one was around, he privately called Mei Fujin "mother".
"When I gave birth to Rui'er, it was the same now, just after the snow." Mei Fujin smiled happily, "Count the days, Rui'er's birthday is coming soon." ”
"Yes," Ning Xiji said, but she was shocked, she had never asked about his birthday, thanks to coming today, "I've been worried these days, and I don't know what to send." I also want to ask my mother for more advice. ”
"You don't have to think about it," Mei Fujin said, "Rui'er is hard, and I never give him a birthday, at most let the small kitchen cook a bowl of noodles and add a few eggs." ”
Ning Xi was about to say something, but heard the familiar sound of "tu, tu, tuk" coming from the window. She stood up and smiled slightly: "Mother, Xi'er will be with you first." ”
