Chapter 12: Brother and Sister
Liang Guogong Mansion
Cao Ruizhong staggered out of the carriage, his hair was messy, his clothes were scattered, and the sweat towel and sachet on his waist were all taken away. The little servant next to him hurriedly supported him and carried him into the mansion. After Cao Ruizhong washed briefly, he changed into a snow-white robe, shook his fan, and showed a lazy and leisurely appearance of a son of a family.
The maid hugged Yu and brought him a cup of melon slices, Cao Ruizhong lay on the knees of the maid who was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed, took a sip of Baoyu's hand, and then opened his eyes, making a gesture to spit out the tea in his mouth, and Baoyu hurriedly took out a jade box and caught it. Cao Ruizhong said, "This melon slice is not before Gu Yu. Baoyu was stunned for a moment, her two thin eyebrows were upside down, and she said angrily, "The little bastard in this mansion dares to make your tea shoddy." The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she stood up to leave, "I'll go to them right now to settle accounts." ”
Cao Ruizhong lay back lazily before calling her, "Hug Yu, come back." ”
Baoyu had already gone out without looking back, and Huaixiang helped Cao Ruizhong rub his temples while laughing twice. Cao Ruizhong patted Huaixiang's soft cheek and said with a smile, "It's really bad that you just look at your sister to be embarrassed." Huaixiang smiled, "With your support, who can take my sister and do it?" The two laughed twice, and Huaixiang said, "Miss gave Mrs. Yuanhou a post and invited Mrs. Yuanhou to enjoy the flowers in the Guogong Mansion." Cao Ruizhong's eyebrows moved and asked, "Why did she befriend Mrs. Dingyuan?" ”
Huaixiang kept massaging Cao Ruizhong on her hand, and said casually, "Miss met Dingyuan Hou when she was traveling, and I think she was a little curious about Mrs. Dingyuan Hou." ”
Cao Ruizhong was surprised, "Huizhong has seen Shao Ding? ”
Huaixiang smiled, "Yes." ”
Cao Ruizhong stood up, grabbed the fan in his hand, and said with a headache, "She won't fall in love with that stunned blue, right?" ”
Huaixiang said, "The maid doesn't dare to say anything. ”
Cao Ruizhong walked out with his feet drawn, and Huaixiang hurriedly followed behind him. The two went straight to the courtyard of Cao Huizhong, the eldest daughter of the Liang Guo Mansion, and when they entered the courtyard, it was a piece of trees and shrubs and grass that were refreshing and green.
Cao Ruizhong took Huaixiang into the weeping flower door of Bihai Zhai, walked along the verandah to the courtyard, and saw the verdant trees in the shade, there were a few maids standing in the corner of the verandah, a tall figure wearing a plain skirt slightly supported the delicate golden silk square birdcage hanging under the corridor, and held a jade scratch in one hand, teasing a pair of golden wings in the birdcage.
Cao Ruizhong smiled and called, "Huizhong! ”
The tall figure turned his head and first glanced at the doorkeeper with his head bowed behind Cao Ruizhong, and then snorted coldly at Cao Ruizhong.
Cao Ruizhong came to her side with a smiling face and said exaggeratedly, "Hey, this is really good for the golden wings, will it be taken away?" Cao Huizhong glanced at him, Cao Ruizhong seemed to be encouraged, and continued, "Look at what I said, how can my sister's birds not know such small insect carving skills?" ”
Huaixiang lowered his head in a difficult way, and then heard Cao Ruizhong say very seriously, "Maybe one day I will speak and cultivate into an immortal." ”
Cao Huizhong said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say some nonsense that doesn't make sense." ”
Cao Ruizhong showed an aggrieved expression, pulled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, Cao Huizhong raised the jade scratch in his hand threateningly, and Cao Ruizhong hurriedly said, "Since Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis married to Shao Ding, she has almost never appeared in front of people. If you give her a post, she won't come. ”
Cao Huizhong's eyes moved, and he said, "What, is she sick?" ”
Cao Ruizhong shook his head, "I heard that people may have a disease, and it is not rude to show a sad appearance, Huizhong, you ......" Cao Huizhong glared at him, and Cao Ruizhong said, "Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is Yan Furong, the only daughter of Cheng Yanyuan in the original imperial history, and his father Yan Yuan is now promoted to Qingzhou to be the supervisor of the assassin with real power." Regardless of whether she is ill or not, Shao Ding obviously admires her, and there is no point in you provoking her. ”
Cao Huizhong didn't answer, but turned around and didn't play with the pair of goldfinches for a while.
Under the cloister, there was only the sound of finches chirping, and the maids bowed their heads deeply, and they did not dare to breathe.
Cao Huizhong finally said, "I didn't want to do anything to her, but I was a little unwilling and wanted to see who she was." ”
Cao Ruizhong heard the anger in his sister's words, stepped forward and touched her hair, and said good-naturedly, "Okay, good, if you really want to see her, my brother always has a way." ”
Cao Huizhong smiled reluctantly when she heard this, and sat under the cloister with her head down.
Songyan checked the contents of the package one by one. Yan Furong smiled, "Songyan, you have seen it three times, don't worry, if you miss something, it doesn't matter, I'll be back in the evening." ”
Song Yan said, "Bring you five taels of silver, two copper coins, go out, remember that the wealth is not exposed, and pick up the copper coins." ”
Yan Furong nodded casually and lifted the package, "I'll come back when I find my cousin, so you can send me over." You can't send me now, just wait here for me to come back. ”
Songyan agreed, and seeing that Yan Furong was about to go out, she suddenly said again, "Miss, if Young Master Youqing is already married, how about it?" ”
Yan Furong said lightly, "I have to see it with my own eyes, so that I can die from now on." ”
When he went out, the snow buds and clouds that were not on duty sent Yan Furong all the way to the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard. Seeing that the little guy in the outer courtyard was waiting to lead Yan Furong the way, Xue Ya walked over and stuffed him with a piece of pine nut candy, and the little guy thought about it before taking it and walked to the side under the pine tree to pick up the pine balls and play. Yunwu smiled at Yan Furong and said, "Sister Songyan, if you have some free time, bring me some silk flowers back." ”
Yan Furong saw that it was not early, and she was in a hurry to leave, so she said, "I have something urgent to go out, next time." ”
Yunwu was stunned, smiled and glanced at Xue Ya who walked back awkwardly, and said with a forced smile, "Yes, Sister Songyan is going to get married soon, and if you are not by Miss's side in the future, don't worry, there are a few of our sisters who serve Miss wholeheartedly." It's just that in the future, when Sister Songyan wants to enter the house to see Miss again, I'm afraid it will be less. ”
Yan Furong heard that her tone was yin and yang, but because she had never regarded herself as a pine smoke, she didn't know the malice in her words, so she just raised her eyebrows and taught her unceremoniously, "Yunwu, how strange you are talking, don't talk like this in the future." ”
The clouds and mist are so angry that there is wind on the top of his head, what kind of person are you Songyan, but you are a maid like me, how can you open your mouth and teach me a lesson. After she cleaned up her mood and asked for two more words to stab Yan Furong, Xue Ya had already handed the package in her hand to Yan Furong and beckoned the little girl to come over and take Yan Furong away.
Yan Furong left without looking back.
