Chapter 187: Gap
The carriage walked very slowly, and Meng Lingju seemed to be very excited along the way, and from time to time he talked about the affairs of the boudoir in Lin'an, the capital, and Luo Yan did not feel bored. ∏∈,
Jiu'er listened with a look of admiration, "The slave has never been to Lin'an when she is so old!" I heard that Lin'an West Lake is beautiful, and the lakeside buildings are hidden in the green willows, endlessly...... "Jiu'er looks yearning."
Shuilian giggled, "Actually, that's it!" It's better to listen to the scenery than to see the scenery, and you'll know when you have the opportunity to see it. Our master is often assigned to various places to serve, and the slaves and maids don't think that anything is particularly good or bad! It's a pity that this time our lord went to Quanzhou, the distance was too far, and our young lady couldn't go back to visit......"
Meng Lingju asked Shuilian to stop talking, remembering the scene when she got married, her eyes couldn't help but glow.
Luo Yan felt that Meng Lingju was thousands of miles away from her father and mother, and she couldn't help but feel a little pitiful, so she hurriedly diverted the topic, "My brother is studying in Lin'an, and I want to go to see him in the spring of next year." I haven't seen it for two years, and I don't know if I've grown taller again. ”
"Master must have grown a lot taller. It's time to take the county exam in the fall of the following year, and the lord and wife are finally looking forward to coming out! Jiu'er interjected.
Shui Lian covered her mouth and smiled, Meng Lingju glanced at Jiu'er's excited appearance, and also curled the corners of her mouth.
Meng Lingju asked Luo Yan's younger brother which academy in the capital was there? Her cousin is studying in the Tribute Academy of the Son of Heaven, and he will also participate in the palace election in the autumn exam this year. Could it be that Rong Zhen, the fifth master of the Rong family, is also studying in Beijing?
Luo Yan nodded. Meng Lingju looked worried, "I don't know if my cousin and my father-in-law can both be taken ......."
While speaking, Nanshan Academy arrived.
The handyman who opened the door saw that it was two ladies who were looking for their husbands. Some displeasure. Let Luo Yan and Meng Lingju go back, there is less than a month to prepare for the autumn exam, I am afraid that their coming will affect the mood of the students.
Meng Lingju arrived in front of the door and begged the handyman to let her see Rong Jue, "Just take a look, put down the snacks I brought to Xianggong and leave." ”
When the miscellaneous man heard that Meng Lingju's father-in-law was Rong Jue, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at Luo Yan and asked her who the father-in-law was? "Rong Xi!" The handyman was a little surprised, and shook his head with a smile again. Even talking about it is interesting!
Meng Lingju took the opportunity to squeeze in the door. Luo Yan followed in. The miscellaneous servants asked Luo Yan and the others to go with him and went to the pavilion in the backyard of the academy, and the miscellaneous servants asked them to wait here, and he went to teach Mr. Xi.
The backyard is apparently the residence of the students. Flowers and plants are planted all over the courtyard. In the corner of the courtyard, a few bushes of green bamboos are upright. In the pavilion, the wooden fence chairs are polished. I don't know how many students chant here every day......
Rong Xi must also be reading this morning! When Luo Yan thought of this, she couldn't help but smile. Meng Lingju was not as indifferent as Luo Yan, she was anxiously pacing back and forth in the pavilion. Looking at the backyard entrance from time to time, "Has Sister Luo Yan been here before?" Meng Lingju talked to Luo Yan with a pair of words to relieve the tension in his heart.
Meng Lingju and Rong Jue only met in a hurry in the cave room and then separated, although Rong Jue's appearance was deeply engraved in Meng Lingju's heart, but I don't know if Rong Jue still remembers her appearance? How can Meng Lingju not be nervous at this moment!
But the little handyman seemed to have forgotten them in the pavilion, and they all went to school at noon, and no one came to greet them. The students poured in from the gate of the courtyard one after another, passed by the pavilion, and saw several women, and couldn't help but whisper. Occasionally, a sentence and a half floated to Luo Yan's ears, praising her for her beauty. Luo Yan turned her back and asked Jiu'er to investigate.
Meng Lingju also heard the discussion of the students, she frowned, and her face was a little ugly. Shui Lian stood in front of Meng Lingju, and couldn't help but scold: "The gentleman is rude and hasty!" How can anyone look at people like that! ”
The students laughed and walked away into their rooms.
As soon as Jiu'er came out of the backyard door, she saw Rong Xi walking over with a stack of books, "Third master, Miss has come to see you!" Rong Jiu quickly ran to Jiu'er, a little incredulous. Jiu'er pointed to the pavilion, and Rong Xi saw that Luo Yan just turned to look at him.
Rong Xi ran towards Luo Yan quickly. "Brother Rong Xi, wait for me!" Yu Chen grabbed Rong Xi's sleeve and didn't let go, and followed him to the pavilion.
"Lady, are you okay? These **** dream of you as soon as they close their eyes. ”
"No wonder your dark circles are getting heavier and heavier these days, and you are not happy to tell me a story. It turned out that I missed the lady! Yu Chen was inserted between Luo Yan and Rong Xi, and Rong Xi had to be introduced.
Rong Xi knocked Yu Chen's head, pushed him away, and took Luo Yan in his arms. Yu Chen was so angry that he screamed, Luo Yan broke free from Rong Xi's arms with a smile, and introduced Meng Lingju with a red face.
Meng Lingju asked where Rong Jue was, Rong Jue paused, and Yu Chen screamed again, "Ah! You are Rong Jue's lady! Why didn't you come sooner, and cause me to wait for him for days. ”
"What's wrong with my father-in-law?" Meng Lingju stared at Yu Chen nervously.
Yu Chen smiled, "What else can I do, Brother Rong Jue or not come to the academy, as soon as he comes, he kicks and beats like crazy, and he fought with Brother Rong Jue a few nights ago." But fortunately, Brother Rong Yu is fine, he fell on the stone steps by himself, got a blue nose and swollen face, he should be able to eat by himself today! ”
Meng Lingju asked Yu Chen to take her to see Rong Jue. Yu Chen turned around and said with a smile, "Rong Xi Niang, Xiaosheng Yu Chen, who is in the same room with your father-in-law, Brother Rong Xi often mentions you...... It's really more beautiful than Chang'e! ”
Luo Yan was amused by Yu Chen's appearance, and when she saw Meng Lingju and Yu Chen walking away, she asked Rong Yu why she could fight with Rong Jue? Luo Yan looked Rong Jue up and down, for fear that he would be injured by Rong Jue.
"I'm fine, don't worry, lady. This time I really can't bear it, he actually said bad things about the lady, how can I spare him! ”
"The prime minister can support the boat in his belly, a little tongue dispute, and the prime minister doesn't have to worry about him!" Luo Yan sat down with Rong Xi, asked Jiu'er to open the food box, and reached out to hand a piece of sesame cake to Rong Xi. Rong Xi didn't stretch out his hand to take it, and smiled at Luo Yan and opened her mouth to wait for her to feed......
Jiu'er smiled, and was curious about what Rong Jue said, so that Rong Jue got angry and fought with him. Listening to the meaning of Yu Chen's words just now, Rong Jue was not lightly injured.
Rong Xi always avoided this topic, and Luo Yan had no choice but to stop asking. Before the time came, the class bell next to the Leaf Pavilion rang, and Rong Xi sent Luo Yan to the gate of the academy, and Luo Yan urged him to go to class quickly. Rong Xi held Luo Yan's hand, "Lady must be careful, these **** are always nightmares, I'm afraid you have something to miss......"
"Okay, I'll be careful. Xiang Gong also tries to talk as little as possible. Luo Yan instructed, and the two of them reluctantly let go of their hands. Luo Yan had been staring at Rong Xi's figure going to the Leaf Pavilion and slowly got up to the high platform and disappeared.
Meng Lingju has not come out yet. "Miss, are we going to wait for her?" Jiu'er stretched out her head and looked in the direction of the backyard from time to time.
"Of course, you have to wait for Sister Meng to go back, and of course you will go back together." As he was talking, Meng Lingju and Shui Lian appeared in front of the backyard door with food boxes......
On the way back, Meng Lingju seemed to be tired, and kept leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed and silent, and Shuilian also hung her head and dozed off from time to time. Only Jiu'er looked at the scenery outside the car window, still full of interest.
But Luo Yan was thinking, what Rong Jue said caused Rong Jue to get angry and hurt people, it is said that Rong Jue has always been gentle and polite, even if he is bullied by Rong Jue, he will silently endure people......
