Chapter 81: Night Visit
When the night light of Rongfu was lit, Luo Yan and Baodie went out. Rong Xi chased out of the house and wanted to go with Luo Yan. Luo Yan asked Jiu'er to take Rong Xi to play.
"The lady won't take me to play again, and the lady doesn't want me anymore......" Rong Xi's face was full of grievances, and he held Luo Yan's hand and didn't let go.
When he came back from the long pavilion during the day, he talked to Luo Yan along the way about the fun of the chess game, and when it came to the excitement, he danced with his hands. Luo Yan has been echoing him, listening to him speak of the truth, and kept praising him, "Xianggong is so good!" ”
Rong Xi's joy has not passed, and at this time, Luo Yan is going to leave him and go out alone, where is he willing to let go.
While talking, Mama Zhu entered the courtyard with a smile and asked where Luo Yan was going?
"Lady take me to play?" Rong Yu curled the corners of his mouth and tugged at Luo Yan's sleeve. Luo Yan had no choice but to smile at Mama Zhu, "I'll go out with Xianggong for a walk." Rong Xi smiled, took Luo Yan's hand and walked out of the courtyard.
Zhu Mama looked at their backs and gathered the smile on her face. Heart, it seems that Luo Yan and Rong Xi get along well, and Luo Yan doesn't seem to have any plans to marry Rong Xi, is Mrs. Jiang too careful?
But how can the medicine be explained? A dark cloud appeared on Mama Zhu's face, and she raised her feet to catch up with the backs of Luo Yan and Rong Xi, hiding in the shadows, and quietly followed.
Baodie was familiar with the road and led Luo Yan to the back door of Baifu Garden. Rong Xi felt fresh, and kept asking Luo Yan where was she going? Luo Yan had something in her heart, she didn't want to pay attention to him, looking at his smiling eyes, she couldn't bear to snub him. coaxed him patiently, "Xianggong, let's play hide and seek for a while, okay?" ”
Rong Xi's eyes lit up, and suddenly his expression was gloomy, "It would be nice if there was a swing...... Luo Yan was stunned, understanding that Rong Xi was thinking of the swing in the courtyard of Jiangdu Ji Garden...... Luo Yan felt that her face was hot, sitting in Rong Xi's arms at that time, leaning on his chest, her heart was surging...... At this time, when I think about it, I still feel my heart pounding and lingering in my arms.
"Lady, it's fun to play hide and seek. I like it! Rong Xi was silent when he saw Luo Yan. thought that he had said the wrong thing and made Luo Yan unhappy. Luo Yan took Rong Xi's hand, "Just like it!" In his heart, he was thinking that Ming'er would also set up a swing frame in Muxi Garden......
The lights in front of me dimmed, and the grass was lush everywhere. The shadows of the trees are swaying. Although it is still within the scope of Rongfu, there is a feeling of wilderness and wilderness. Bao Die stopped, "Here we are, this is it." ”
Luo Yan was suspicious in her heart, and followed the direction of Baodie's finger under the moonlight. Only then did I see a row of low huts hidden behind the bushes.
Seeing Luo Yan's puzzled look, Baodie said that this is the place where Rongfu accumulates fat, and few people usually come. As she spoke, a breeze sent a wisp of dung and grass, and Bao Die covered her nose.
Luo Yan frowned, wanting Jiu'er to take Rong Xi to play nearby, but she felt that it was inappropriate, this was not a place to stay for a long time at all. hesitated for a moment, so he had to take Rong Xi and walk towards the hut together.
"Sister-in-law, our third grandmother has come to see you." Bao Die walked to the door of the hut. Pushing open the hidden door, he called softly.
The hut was dimly lit, and a woman sat on a wooden shelf bed by the window. The woman's expression seemed numb, and she turned a deaf ear to Baodie's words.
Baodie raised her hand to block the eaves, and Luo Yan took Rong Xi and lowered her head into the house. A musty smell hit, Jiu'er hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and turned around to see Luo Yan and Rong Xi both looking at the woman on the bed calmly. Jiu'er removed the veil and slowly got used to the smell of the room, so she didn't feel it anymore.
Luo Yan moved to the bed and looked at her sister-in-law carefully. Lying on the sickbed for a long time. Where does the sister-in-law still have a trace of a woman in her thirties, her eyes are deep-set, her lips are dry, and her eyes are looking out of the window with dull eyes.
A narrow window shines through a ray of moonlight. The whole sister-in-law just stared motionless. In addition to the shelf bed, there was only a table of eight immortals with a broken leg and a few broken chairs in the room. The broken table leg was tied with rope, and a green brick was padded underneath, and there was not a trace of heat on the stove.
Luo Yan felt that her eyes were hot, how similar was this hut to the cold pavilion she lived in her previous life......
Bao Die looked around. couldn't find a place for Luo Yan and Rong Xi to sit, and said softly: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, the third grandmother has to hurry." Luo Yan asked Baodie and Jiu'er to take Rong Xi out and wait at the door.
Rong Xi pulled Luo Yan and didn't leave, and Luo Yan had to let Baodie and Jiu'er go out first. Jiu'er hesitated for a moment, saw Luo Yan's eyes filled with tears, and saw her looking at the stove, knowing that Luo Yan was kind-hearted and couldn't see such bitterness.
Jiu'er walked to the stove and lit a fire to boil water. When Baodie saw Jiu'er like this, she also went over to help wash rice and make porridge.
"Sister-in-law, are you better?" Luo Yan sat on the side of her sister-in-law's bed and asked softly.
Sister-in-law's body trembled, no master had ever been here for so many years, let alone asked her about her illness in such a soft voice. thinks that back then, her sister-in-law was also one of the few characters in Rongfu, and there was an accident......
The sister-in-law slowly turned her head to look at Luo Yan, and she could read the compassion and sympathy in Luo Yan's eyes. "Who are you?"
Rong Xi approached Luo Yan and said happily: "She is my lady." ”
The whole sister-in-law looked at Rong Xi, Rong Xi was wearing a moon-white summer cloth robe, and the corners of her mouth were arched at the whole sister-in-law, the smile on his face seemed to illuminate the hut in an instant, even if she was a long-term sick sister-in-law, she could feel the purity and innocence in Rong Xi's eyes.
Sister-in-law blinked her eyes quickly, and her thin hand nervously squeezed the patched summer quilt on her body.
Luo Yan saw it in her eyes, and reached out to stroke her sister-in-law's hand, "Xianggong and I have no malicious intentions, I just want to come and see you, Ming'er, I will ask someone to boil some medicinal soup and send it to ......"
The whole sister-in-law stared at Rong Xi silently, as if she was stuck in a memory, and she seemed to be stunned for a while.
Jiu'er fanned the fire on the stove and interjected: "Rong Liu doesn't know how to boil water and cook porridge for her mother to drink, Ming'er wants to talk about ......him when she sees him."
When the sister-in-law heard Rong Liu's name, her lips pursed and she smiled, even though her laughter was more ugly than crying.
After a while, the smell of rice wafted out of the house, Bao Die took the porridge and brought it to the bed at the door, Luo Yan took it and fed it to the sister-in-law with a spoon, and the sister-in-law took a bite and looked at her, the alertness in her eyes slowly faded, and her face gradually became lively. After eating the last bite, the sister-in-law pushed the bowl, stared at Rong Xi again, and said word by word: "You are, the third master of the Rong family, Rong Xi?" ”
Rong Xi was very happy to hear others call him by name, "Well, I'm Rong Xi, and she's my lady Luo Yan!" Today, Luo Yan took him to see the living, he felt extremely satisfied, standing beside Luo Yan, and from time to time he stroked Luo Yan's shoulders and hair with his hands.
"Sister-in-law, do you feel better?" Luo Yan put down the bowl and asked with concern.
Sister-in-law took a long breath of relief and looked at Luo Yan, "Third grandma, if you have something to say, can you ask?" The words that the old slave has pressed in his heart for more than ten years are indeed panicked......"
Luo Yan looked at Baodie, and Baodie playfully pulled Jiu'er out of the door, turned around and closed the door. The lights in the room were beating, and the sister-in-law told a story about the past that had been deposited in the Rongfu for eleven years......
