Chapter 36: The Fish Lady
Rong Le carefully held the little milk cat in his hand, the little milk cat was born not long ago, the coat color is clean and shiny, one ear and the small paws of the limbs are black, and the rest of the place is white, because it has just been born, the fluff has not grown well, and occasionally you can see the fluff under the fluff, pink and tender flesh.
Helian Xuan gave a hairpin as Rong Le's birthday gift the night before, and on the second day, he hugged the little milk cat in front of him, saying that it was a festival of the Double Ninth Festival, Rong Le knew Helian Xuan's temperament, and he didn't shirk it, but after a while, Helian Xuan made Helian Xuan feel regretful, Rong Le picked up the little milk cat, and he didn't want to let go.
was originally happy to successfully vote for Rong Le's preferences, but it turned out to be his turn to be ignored, which made Helian Xuan, who thought Rong Le would respond, suddenly felt a little dissatisfied and regretful.
"Master, this kitten has a name," Rong Le asked in a cheerful tone.
Helian Xuan saw that Rong Le took the initiative to talk to him, and he was secretly happy, who knew that it was this cat who was asking, so he was not in a good mood.
"No," Helian Xuan said lightly.
"Can the slave name the kitten?" said Rong Le expectantly.
"Since I sent you, I can"
"Well, Xiaohua is fine, master, what do you think" Rong Le asked Helian Xuan.
The corners of Helian Xuan's mouth twitched secretly, what is Xiaohua's name, even if it is a cat, it was given by herself, how can she take such a name, uh, no level, just looking at Rong Le with an expectant face, Helian Xuan really couldn't say anything against it.
"Well, whatever you want" Helian Xuan said calmly, but An Lu, who knew Helian Xuan on the side, secretly covered his mouth and smiled, the weakness in Helian Xuan's words, An Lu could hear it clearly.
It seemed to feel Helian Xuan's mood, Rong Le explained, "Although the name Xiaohua is not very good, but the slave's mother said that the cheap name is easy to feed, this kitten is still young, and the slave hopes that this kitten can grow up smoothly."
"Yes, the slave was not in good health when he was young, and he was born with a heavy silk scarf, but I am afraid that it is not much bigger than this cat, and the slave's mother specially invited someone, and gave the slave a cheap name for the dog, also called a nickname, I didn't think about it, but I raised the slave, and the people in the village couldn't believe it" An Lu recalled what happened when he was a child.
Helian Xuan didn't expect that his personal inner prison would have such a life experience, An Lu's family was gone, and he couldn't live anymore, so he entered the palace by himself, Helian Xuan knew, but it was the first time he heard An Lu mention it, so what about Rong Le.
Helian Xuan knows that Rong Le is literate, although Rong Le didn't say it, but because he often serves in the study, he can still see it from some details, and why would a literate girl sell herself into slavery, Helian Xuan wanted to know, but he couldn't bear to ask.
"Then do you have a nickname" Helian Xuan asked Rong Le, originally wanted to say a cheap name, but when the words came to his lips, he changed it to a nickname.
Rong Le was in a trance when he heard about An Lu, and he didn't pay attention to Helian Xuan's words for a while, but he only reacted when An Lu reminded him.
"Yes, the slave's nickname is Yu Niang, because the slave's mother loves to eat fish," Rong Le said, but Helian Xuan could feel that Rong Le's voice was much lower than before.
The name of the fish girl, Rong Le thought he had forgotten, but he didn't expect Helian Xuan to remember it when he asked, Rong Le remembered that when he was young, when his father was still there, he always liked to hug himself and call his father Yu Niang, his mother would watch and laugh from the side, and the brother held by his mother, Rong Le's twin brother.
Rong Le's brother also has a nickname, called Little Lamb, because his father likes to eat mutton, but then his brother disappeared, his father was gone, and his mother never called his nickname again.
At the end of October, Helian Xuan decided to go back to the capital, to go back before the New Year, the princes have to enter the palace for the New Year, Helian Xuan is inevitable, the house has long been preparing to go back, and Hezhou things, Helian Xuan has a lot of things that need to move around.
After coming out of the prefect's yamen in Hezhou, Helian Xuan was unusual, taking Rong Le and others, wandering around the streets of Hezhou without hurry, Rong Le was suddenly, no wonder today, when Helian Xuan went out, he was wearing regular clothes, and the guards were also dressed in plain clothes.
"Master, this is the South Gate Bazaar, there are a lot of swords and the like, there are often people here to find some treasures, and you can't say that you will encounter good things."
Xiaoshun was also brought out today, just to introduce the market here to Helian Xuan, "In addition, there is a nearby West Street market, which is mostly a market where some daughters like to visit with rouge gouache and jewelry."
Saying this, An Lu silently applauded Xiaoshun, worthy of the master's vision, and specially arranged for Rong Le, it is estimated that he will have a good future in the future.
Helian Xuan was not annoyed when he heard these unrelated words, but glanced at Rong Le with interest, and Rong Le was suddenly ashamed to blush, and couldn't help but glare at Xiao Shun.
"Well, then go to West Street and have a look," Helian Xuan happily decided.
Helian Xuan spoke, and everyone followed Helian Xuan, leading the way to West Street by Xiaoshun, just walking, maybe Helian Xuan's words a few days ago, evoking Rong Le's memories, Rong Le was in front of a stall, saw a teenager who was looking at a dagger, the boy's side face can be seen, this young man has this delicate face, Rong Le always feels familiar.
The young man didn't seem to want it, so he left the stall after a while, and slowly walked into the distance, just when the young man was about to leave Rong Le's sight, Rong Le's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted, "Brother"
Helian Xuan didn't know what was going on, and when he saw Rong Le only rushing forward, he pushed the people in front of him away one after another, causing a lot of shouting and scolding, but when these people saw Helian Xuan and the others, who were obviously not ordinary people, they immediately stopped,
Seeing this, Helian Xuan just wanted to hold Rong Le's hand, but he took it back and let Rong Le run away.
"Anlu, let the guards follow, Xiaoshun, you also go"
"Yes" An Lu no longer laughed on weekdays, and immediately arranged for someone to follow, Xiao Shun was familiar with this place, so Xiao Shun also led people to chase after him, Helian Xuan also frowned, and followed.
Rong Le didn't know how far he had run, he obviously felt that the person was not far away, but when he arrived at the place, the person disappeared, and he wanted to continue to move forward, but he didn't know which way to go, and finally he could only kneel on the ground weakly, crying loudly, until he was surrounded by an embrace.
Helian Xuan took off the cloak on his body, wrapped Rong Le, and hugged him horizontally, An Lu was flexible, seeing the current situation, it was definitely impossible to continue walking on the street, so he directly asked Xiaoshun to rent a carriage on the street.
Helian Xuan was at a loss, Rong Le had cried before, and even not long ago, he was scared to cry by himself, but he had never seen Rong Le cry so miserably, so sad, which reminded Helian Xuan of Rong Le's shouting brother just now.
