Chapter 70: Meeting

Yun Xia and Yun Hong sisters saw Rong Zheng follow Fu Cui away, and both of them were at a loss.

Yun Xia said in her heart, when did Rong Zheng have a relationship with the eldest son in the palace, didn't she hear that she had a relationship with Miss Mu San? This is a matter of meeting in private...... Yun Xia lowered her head, if the old lady asked for a while, what excuse should she find to cover up for Rong Zheng.

Yun Xia glanced at Yun Hong, and finally whispered in her ear: "If the old lady asks about Ah Zheng in a while, don't tell the truth." ”

"Why?"

"Why, the old lady will definitely be unhappy when she finds out. This matter is big and big, small and small, and you have to keep my mouth closed. Yun Xia gave Yun Hong another warning look.

"Whatever the third sister says, I will say." When Yunhong is still drooping, where do you know how to do it.

said that Rong Zheng followed Fucui and entered the Tangli study with some trepidation.

It's a very quiet place, and the pear trees are already full of green leaves, and there are a lot of fruits, and it looks like they will ripen soon. Looking up, the three rooms above, with pink walls and red windows, are particularly eye-catching in a green shade.

The occasional beep of the birds hanging under the eaves broke the silence.

Fu Cui led Rong Zheng into the upper room. It was only then that she saw the inner part of the room. At the moment, there is a marble bookcase, on which is a set of four treasures of the study and a Yushan bonsai. There are several book scrolls inserted in the large blue and white scroll jar next to it. At the next bronze Boshan furnace, there was just no incense. On the other side against the wall is a piano table.

Rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged one after another, and the shelves are full of books. There was a heavy scent of ink quietly.

"Uncle, Miss Rong has arrived!" Fu Cui sighed.

"Got it."

The male voice of Qingyue came from behind.

Fu Cui hurriedly invited Rong Zheng to sit down, and went to pour a bowl of tea in person. Rong Zheng thanked him.

The sunlight penetrated through the pasty green yarn, and mottled shadows fell on the smooth water-milled green bricks.

Rong Zheng's eyes were drawn to a picture of a lady on the wall. She wasn't good at danqing, but she felt that the characters in the painting were quite moving, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward to see what was going on.

The beauty in the painting is wearing a red cloak and holding a pipa in her arms, taking the allusion of Concubine Ming. It's just that there is a slight gloomy color between the eyebrows of Wang Yan on the painting.

Mu Xuan walked around the bookshelf in the back. I happened to see Rong Zheng looking at the picture of a lady painted by his father back then. The sparse sunlight shone on Rong Zheng's dress and hair. Coating her whole body with a layer of light. Mu Xuan looked at the broken hair behind her ears. Under the sunlight, it glowed with a golden light. There was silence inside and outside the house. Somehow, Mu Xuan's mind suddenly remembered the scene when his mother taught him to recite poems under the pear blossom tree when he was a child. There are so many beautiful sentences, but at this moment, there is only one sentence in Mu Xuan's mind: "The years are quiet"!

Rong Zheng originally paid attention to the beauty in the painting. Later, I smelled the aroma of sandalwood in the air, and I couldn't help but turn around. But I don't know when Mu Xuan stood behind her silently. The two looked at each other, Rong Zheng's face was slightly hot, and he was busy looking at Mu Xuan's blessed body.

Mu Xuan realized that she was a little out of shape, and gently touched her nose. He didn't dare to look at Rong Zheng anymore and said, "You're here!" ”

Then he strode behind the marble bookcase, sat down on a rosewood chair, pointed to the same chair below, and said, "You may be seated!"

Rong Zheng generously took a seat and inadvertently glanced at Mu Xuan. saw that he was wearing a azure round neck, a flower with dark patterns, and a straight jacket. I saw him with sideburns like a knife, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes. was afraid that Mu Xuan would find out that he was looking at him in secret, so he didn't dare to look at him anymore, so he hurriedly collected his eyes.

"I really should be grateful to Miss Rongsan, if it weren't for you. I don't know how to get lost yet. Thank you for your unintentional help, so that I finally found a way out. ”

Rong Zheng was a little confused, and hurriedly said, "Is Uncle Mu talking about Lei Bo?" However, a chance encounter saved his life and gave him a bowl of rice to eat, but it was just a coincidence, and I didn't expect to be able to help you. ”

Mu Xuan said: "In the end, it is Miss Rongsan's kindness, otherwise how could he have such a creation." ”

Rong Zheng has only met Mu Xuan a few times, and the two can't talk about any friendship at all, she is even more familiar with Mu Sanye. But there were only a few contacts. Let Rong Zheng clearly realize that the attitude of the person in front of him has changed slightly, at least not as arrogant and alienated as the first meeting.

Rong Zheng had an easy-going attitude, and said, "I didn't think I would help Uncle Mu." ”

Mu Xuan saw that she was not credited, and she was easy-going and generous. Thinking of that incident, I regretted it a little, and hurriedly said: "That time was really abrupt to Miss, please don't take Miss to heart." ”

Rong Zheng thought, you almost strangled me to death, can I not take it to heart. When didn't it happen? If she were the one before, she would definitely have formed a bond with Mu Xuan, and she would have to think of revenge. At this moment, her heart was like a storm blowing, and finally calmed down, with a smile, she said a little stiffly: "It's over, don't mention it." ”

Mu Xuan didn't say a single superfluous word about Lei Bo, he sincerely thanked Rong Zheng, apologized for the previous incident, and didn't ask anything else.

Rong Zheng just sat down for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

Rong Zheng returned to the durian orchard, but the Yunxia sisters had not returned. Old Madam Lu was talking with the county lord of Duanhui.

Old Madam Lu saw Rong Zheng first, nodded and smiled: "Tired of shopping, come and sit beside me." Seeing that Sister Yunxia was not with Rong Zheng, she frowned and asked, "Where are the three girls and the six girls going crazy?" ”

Rong Zheng thought about talking to Mu Xuan for a while, left the Yunxia sisters aside, and hurried back, but he didn't expect them to come back yet. Now when my grandmother asks, she has to say, "They went elsewhere." ”

"This three girls are not good, they just like to run around. It seems that the lesson of the last time was not enough, and she had to break out of something to know that she regretted it, and if she did this again, she would not be brought out in the future. Old Madam Lu felt that this granddaughter had made her lose face in front of the county lord.

The last time I was in the temple, the lord of Duanhui also vaguely knew, and when he saw that the old man was unhappy, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay, there are maids and women with them, and they can't run anywhere, maybe they will come back in a while." ”

Rong Zheng said in his heart that he was not acting properly enough, so his grandmother blamed Sister Yunxia, so he got up and said, "Grandma, don't blame." I'm going to find the third sister and the sixth sister. ”

"What do you do with one by one, you sit obediently and don't move. When they don't come back, I'll have someone look for them. ”

Rong Zheng had to be obedient and obedient.

"What is Miss Eisan?"

Rong Zheng replied, "It belongs to the sheep." ”

"Isn't that going to turn thirteen?"

Mrs. Lu replied for Rong Zheng with a smile: "My granddaughter's life is good, it is the eighth day of the fourth month. Just in time for the Buddha Bathing Festival. ”

Duan Hui hurriedly said: "Ah, that's still a blessing." "The birthday is good, but it's a little bit worse. As the saying goes, "ten sheep and nine incomplete" sheep women, most of the women who belong to the sheep have a bad life. She sighed slightly.

Mrs. Lu pondered in her heart, the county lord suddenly asked about her granddaughter's birthday, could it be that she wanted to help her get along? If you can really let the county lord be the matchmaker. But it's a big face. After thinking about it, Mrs. Lu said, "It's a pity that my only daughter left early, leaving such a lone seedling." Although the stepmother entered the door, she was the stepmother after all, and now she had a daughter, so it was inevitable that she would not have other ideas. My heart was so distressed that if I had been uneasy with her, I would not have the face to see my daughter in the future. ”

Duanhui looked at Rong Zheng and smiled: "Children are the meat of their parents' hearts. I see that this girl looks blessed, and she will have a good life in the future. ”

"I borrowed the golden mouth of the county lord's mother."

Duanhui gave Rong Zheng a string of red musk bracelets. It can be wrapped around the wrist more than three times.

When Mrs. Lu saw that this was the county lord's single reward for Rong Zheng, she liked it in her heart, and hurriedly asked Rong Zheng to kowtow to the county lord to thank her.

After a while, Yunxia and Yunhong came. Xian Yunxia didn't see Rong Zheng, and made an excuse to say to Mrs. Lu: "Old lady, Sister Ah Zheng and we are separated, and we may find our way back after a while." ”

Old Madam Lu showed some surprise on her face, and Yun Xia wanted to say something. But when she saw Rong Zheng walking out of the open house, Yun Xia's face changed, and her face was red and white for a while.

Duan Hui saw that the sisters were talking their own words. It seems that it was not discussed in advance. Rong Zheng and the Qi sisters did not come back together, she thought about the reason, and said to Mrs. Lu with a smile: "It must be that their sisters are separated, and they don't know if each other has returned." ”

Old Madam Lu was embarrassed and embarrassed. Seeing that Duanhui gave her the stairs, she had to follow Duanhui's words and say, "Maybe that's the case." ”

No one continued to inquire about it.

Yun Xia was shocked into a cold sweat.

Soon after, the feast began.

The table is set up in an open house. At the moment, a small couch is set up in front of each person, and the one in front is a few times longer. There are four cold dishes, four hot dishes, and two snacks on the table. It's perfect. There is also a self-poured pot engraved with plum blossoms in black silver and a rhino horn cup.

are all female guests, Yunhong is young, and Rong Zheng is not good at drinking. Yunxia can drink a few glasses of wine, but how dare she be presumptuous in front of her grandmother. Mrs. Lu first toasted the county lord with a glass of wine, and the girls toasted again.

It is rare for the county lord to agree with Mrs. Lu, so the scene is not deserted. After eating, the county lord of Duanhui and Mrs. Lu talked about the past for a long time. It wasn't until the county lord of Duanhui showed a tired face that Mrs. Lu and her granddaughters got up to say goodbye.

Duan Hui didn't hold back too much, and said: "I live here as a widow and have little contact with people outside. The old lady is free and invites to visit the door, I also want to hear your old man talk about the old things of the past. ”

Old Madam Lu nodded and smiled: "The county lord's mother is not too long-winded with the old woman, and she will definitely come to see the county lord's mother again." ”

Duanhui glanced at Rong Zheng twice, and then ordered Dan Tang and Su Su to help send each other. She went back to the Splendid Courtyard for a nap.

As soon as Duan Hui entered the inner room, he said to the little maid in front of him, "Go and call your uncle." ”

The little maid said yes and went immediately.

Duanhui felt sleepy and tired, but she had something to ask her brother, so she had to cheer up and let someone serve a bowl of tea. After taking a sip of the tea, Mu Xuan came over.

"Are all the Qi family gone?"

"Gone." Duan Hui pinched the silk and pressed the corner of his mouth, and said, "The old lady of the Qi family is quite kind, I talked to her for a long time." She was happy, too. ”

Mu Xuan thought, my sister is a new widow, and now she lives in a simple house, and there is no one to talk to, it is rare for someone to agree with her, so she said: "The two families also had contacts in the past, if my sister wants to see someone, just go to the next post and please." ”

"I'll see what you mean. How, what should be said? ”

Mu Xuan said: "It's all said." ”

Duan Hui pursed her lips and smiled: "I rewarded her with a string of red incense bracelets, and the concubine Niangniang rewarded me with something back then." Well, it's not polite, is it? ”

"Thank you, sister."

Duan Hui took a closer look at her brother, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you are interested in that Miss Rong San?" ”

Mu Xuan's face turned red, and he hurriedly distinguished: "What is my sister talking nonsense, how can I ...... My sister knew I didn't have that kind of mind. It's just that she inadvertently did me a favor, and I always wanted to thank her, but I didn't have the opportunity, so I entrusted my sister...... I never thought my sister would misunderstand like this. ”

Mu Xuan's anxious appearance is rare, and he hurriedly smiled: "Okay, I'm just a joke, I see that you are in a hurry." Miss Rong San looks dignified and dignified. but of the sheep, their lives are miserable. ”

Mu Xuan didn't know why his sister added the latter sentence, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.

After Mu Xuan left, Duanhui's sleepiness was gone. Just as Chen came in, Duan Hui left her to gossip.

"If only Miss Rong's parents were complete, it would be better for her life."

Duanhui's mind speaks for itself. Chen smiled and said, "The county lord can't be in a hurry, come slowly." It's a good start. ”

"yes, where have you seen him and the woman next to him say a word before? No hurry, I'm not in a hurry. The corners of Duanhui's eyes were full of smiles. Because I was happy today, I couldn't help but drink two more glasses, and I felt a little upset for a while. Busy going to bed.

When it was almost dusk here, Cui Shangzhou hurried over. He went straight to Tangli study. This time, there is also Mu Xuan's nurse Lei Mama, who has not seen her for fifteen years.

Mama Lei is thin and small, with a slightly hunched back. She wore a half-new blue cloth skirt and a round bun, and she was not yet forty years old, but her face was already full of weather.

When she first saw Mu Xuan, she didn't recognize it for a while, and pointed to Mu Xuan and asked Cui Shangzhou.

"Who is this brother? It's a good look. ”

Cui Shangzhou said with a smile: "Did the old man even forget Uncle Mu?" ”

When Mama Lei heard about it, she went to see Mu Xuan. Mu Xuan stepped forward and helped Mama Lei and called: "Nurse!" (To be continued.) )
