Chapter 41: Pity
Luo Chan hid behind the pillars of the porch outside the foyer, and secretly watched Rong Rui follow Mrs. Luo and her mother Baozhu into the front hall.
Although I was already skin-to-skin with him, today was the first time I had taken a closer look at him in the daytime. The majestic body, the white and majestic face, especially a pair of eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly curved, and the eyes are blurred, as if they are drunk but not drunk. That gaze inadvertently fell to Luo Chan's side, and she only felt a wave of heat rising from her chest and rushing straight to her mind.
She forgot that she was hiding behind the pillars, and Rong Rui didn't see her, which was really in vain.
"Miss, this is going to be poisonous, go back to the house. Beware of mutton fat cake-like skin sunburn! Liu Er followed Aunt Baozhu to greet Mrs. Luo, and as soon as she settled in the front hall, she hurriedly came out, walked to the bottom of the corridor, and saw Luo Chan leaning on the pillar of the porch.
Luo Chan came back to her senses, the red clouds rippling on her face did not disperse, and she did not make a sound, and obediently followed Liu Er back to the boudoir of the back house. I entered the house and sat in front of the dressing table under the window, holding my cheek in front of the mirror with one hand and smiling for a while.
Qing'er looked at her in and out, curious but didn't dare to ask. Liu Er knew that it was best not to disturb her at this time. Pull Qing'er outside the house and ask, is the bedding all dried?
"I've been in the sun all morning, I've just turned over the side, and I've been drying it for two days in a row, so it should be okay."
"It's going to be in the plum soon, and I'll bask in the sun when it's good." Liu Er looked at the bluestone platform in the courtyard of the back house, covered with peach and willow green brocade bedding, and suddenly remembered something, "I'm afraid the wedding date of the second lady has been set." ”
Qing'er looked at her puzzled, and Liu Er patted her on the shoulder, "Fool, didn't Madame go to the Rong family this time to determine the marriage date of the second young lady?" If the wedding date is set, we will definitely have to help make bedding and embroidery. ”
"That's right! You're not here, except for the eldest lady in the house, only your needlework is okay......"
Before Qing'er finished speaking, the door behind her suddenly opened, Luo Chan walked out quickly, and reached out to twist Qing'er's face, "Let you chew your tongue, do you still want me to make bedding for others!" ”
Qing'er's cheeks hurt from being twisted by her, and she bared her teeth and grinned, "Miss misunderstood, the slave didn't mean that......"
Luo Chan exerted her strength, "If that's what it means, Ming'er will sell you to a prostitution." Little hooves talk nonsense! ”
Liu Er pleaded, "Qing'er is not sensible, but I am worried that the second lady's wedding is approaching and the family will not have enough manpower......"
Luo Chan let go of her hand, "Miss is in a good mood today, I don't know what you care, go to the front hall to inquire, take a look at Rong, what is the matter with the Rong family?" ”
Qing'er pulled her legs and wanted to go, "What are you going to do, Liu'er go." You go to Jiyuan to see what Miss Er is doing? Luo Chan glanced at Qing'er.
Qing'er answered and went to Jiyuan.
Since Mrs. Luo left, Luo Yan knew that Luo Chan's wedding date was approaching! She didn't care about her marriage, she didn't expect it, and she wouldn't have unexpected joy.
Taking advantage of Luo Shizi's absence, she and Jiu'er went to her father's study to dig out "Shennong's Materia Medica", "The Emperor's Inner Classic", and "Qianjinfang", and hid in the room every day to study.
Qing'er came in, and Jiu'er greeted her, "Why did the eldest lady let you out to hang out?" ”
Qing'er flattened her mouth, and asked happily, "Madame has come back from Rongfu, why doesn't the second lady go and take a look?" ”
Luo Yan was writing at the desk, "Is the uncle of the Rong family here?" ”
"Exactly! How would the second miss know? Qing'er consciously lost her words, lowered her head and frowned, and peeked at Luo Yan's expression.
Luo Yan wrote seriously, without looking up, the corners of her mouth arced, and said mischievously: "I guess!" ”
"Miss, what a god! Did the Rong family set a wedding date and specially sent the uncle of the Rong family to say? Jiu'er looked excited, but felt that something was wrong, "It must be that Mrs. went to the Rong Mansion to set the wedding date of the second lady, and the Rong family sent the uncle to escort Mrs. back." ”
"You two don't guess, if you want to know, go to the front hall and eavesdrop." Luo Yan's subordinates kept going, burying their heads in the fine small characters.
Qing'er saw that she was writing seriously, and couldn't help but look at it curiously, and the paper neatly wrote 6g of Bupleurum chinensis, 15g of Poria cocos, 5g of ginger Banxia, 3g of Coptis chinensis, and 10g of salty eucommia......
"What did Mademoiselle write?" She only recognized a few numbers, and looked at the paper full of rope and the little Kai was full of paste.
Luo Yan looked up and saw that half of her cheeks were still bruised, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, "Qing'er, is the eldest lady serving you?" ”
Qing'er was stunned, and immediately reacted, touched half of her cheek and said with a smile: "A slave is a slave and a maid, and you have to listen to the master." ”
Luo Yan sighed and asked Jiu'er to fetch the willow leaves harvested in early spring and fry some water. "These are prescriptions, and I will prepare and catch them when the time comes, and you can take them with you in case you need them."
"The slave maid is not sick or sick, where do you need a prescription......" Qing'er felt inexplicable.
Luo Yan smiled, "It will be useful then!" You follow the eldest lady, although she has a bad temper, but her heart is not bad, and you will serve her more in everything. ”
"Second Miss, look at what you said, the slave has never complained about anything, and she doesn't dare to resent the eldest lady."
Jiu'er brought willow leaf water, and Luo Yan took a cotton handkerchief and wiped it on Qing'er's cheek. Qing'er twitched her nose and felt that her eyes were foggy......
When Liu Er came back from the front hall, her nose was sweating from excitement, and her black and red face was even redder. When I entered the house, I saw Luo Chan speechless, snorting and panting.
"Look at your unproductive appearance! Running so fast, speak slowly. Luo Chan saw the excitement on Liu Er's face and knew that something good was coming, and she had a smile on her face.
Liu Er calmed down, "Congratulations to Miss, Uncle Rong has come to propose." ”
Luo Chan's smile deepened, and it was within her expectation that Rong Rui would mention her parents. In his joy, he blamed his mother for Baozhu's excessive behavior, and had to beg Mrs. Luo to go on this trip. Otherwise, her scenery at this time would be even worse, and her joy would be doubled.
How did she know that if it wasn't for Mrs. Luo's trip, Rong Rui would really forget about her......
Rong Rui got the unicorn jade pendant from the old lady, and he blamed Luo Chan for not knowing the depths. This incident pierced the skylight in front of the old lady, and it obviously did him no good.
Yangzhou Siyan Shi happened to be vacant, and he was planning to go out to make up for this fat gap. Yang Wan's father and brother are the top figures in the salt field, and with their backing, it is not a problem to win this fat difference. So I was particularly concerned about Yang Wan's condition this time.
Hearing that Rong Liu came to report that his grandmother was critically ill, he hurried back. The doctor used a dose of Soul Recovery, and Yang Wan regained her breath again. He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yang Wan was there, the relationship between his father-in-law and brother-in-law would be there. He was thinking about it, and the old lady called him over again and put on a business with Luo Chan.
At this moment, he regretted that the rabbit did not eat the grass next to the nest, and blamed himself for being in a hurry!
Rong Rui carried the jade pendant into the Baifu Garden, thought about it and went around the north courtyard to see Yang Wan. Unexpectedly, Yang Wan sat up, her face was surprisingly good.
Seeing him come in, although he was weak, he also clearly told him that he wanted to find a good woman, Qing'er was so young, he must not let him suffer from his stepmother......
Rong Rui looked at Yang Wan's gentle and light face, and a deep pity suddenly swelled up in his heart......
