Chapter 33: The First Meeting
The rain was pouring down until the end of Shen before it gradually stopped, but the clouds were thick, and it was black, and it was about to get dark.
Rong Zheng stood under the eaves, looking at the sky and becoming more and more anxious, and hurriedly instructed Zisu: "You go and talk to Xiao Lu and let him prepare to leave." โ
Zi Su said: "I don't know if it will rain, why don't Miss stay for a while." โ
"It's not going to be now, it's not going to stay." Rong Zheng is afraid that his family will be worried.
Zi Su said with relief: "Then leave it for another half an hour and take a look, otherwise it will rain again halfway through, and there will be no place to shelter from the rain." โ
"That's all there is to it."
Shisu was afraid that Rong Zheng would be cold, so he hurriedly went to get a cloak to put on Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng stood under the eaves and looked at the small courtyard. There are more than a dozen neat houses, with whitewashed walls and gray tiles. There were no flowers or plants in the yard, only a tall paulownia tree, which looked a little bare, but small flower buds had quietly popped up.
Rong Zheng said in his heart, this tree is taller than the one in his father's study, and it seems to have a history of hundreds of years.
When she was sighing, she saw two little girls coming back from fetching water. Rong Zheng instinctively wanted to avoid it, but just turned around, he heard someone say: "What are you doing recklessly, go and wash the floor first." โ
The voice was clear, and there was a sense of indifference.
Rong Zheng couldn't help but glance back, and under the eaves of the east not far from her, there was a man standing. He was also dressed in a gray monk's robe, with a long body and long hair like ink tied on top of his head with an inconspicuous hairpin, and he did not wear any crown. Fengshen is handsome, like a clear bright moon, and is somewhat similar to the lord of Duanhui. Seeing that he had his hands behind his back, his face was as pale as water, and he looked cold away from the red dust.
Rong Zheng remembered Mu Ying's words, and knew that this was Mu Ying's eldest brother, so he hurriedly blessed his body, and said crisply: "Thank you uncle, for taking you in, for causing you trouble." โ
Mu Xuan listened to this voice, turned her head, and saw the girl standing under the eaves on the west side. He looked like he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a hanging bun and only one or two pieces of jewelry on his head. A green yellow gown, an oil green trimmed skirt. The slim girl is like a green tree.
Mu Xuan nodded indifferently, but didn't say anything.
When Rong Zheng got up, he glanced to the east, but saw that the eaves on the east side were empty, and there was no one to see. She was in a trance, could it be that she was dazzled just now, and she couldn't see the wrong person? Rong Zheng rubbed his eyes.
It was dark, but fortunately it didn't rain anymore.
Here Rong Zheng can't wait to go home. Xiao Lu had already greeted the car, and Rong Zheng wanted to say goodbye to Mu Xuan before leaving, but thinking that he looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and it was not good to disturb him again, he got into the car and asked the little guys to go and thank Mu Xuan's little guys.
The car drove out of Puci Temple.
Mu Ying also rode a horse and followed them.
By the time we entered the city, it was already dusk, but today it was already dark. When they reached the city gate, they were blocked in their way. Mu Ying hurriedly stepped forward, explained a few words to the people guarding the city, and finally let them into the city.
Rong Zheng thanked Mu Ying for her help. Two families live in the east and one in the south. Mu Ying said to Rong Zheng in the car: "I'll send Miss home." โ
Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "How can you be embarrassed to bother the third master again, he has already entered the city, and he is not in the way." โ
Mu Ying smiled: "It's okay, it's not a detour." I was relieved to see that the young lady arrived home safely. โ
The hot Mu Xuan, the cold Mu Xuan. Rong Zheng thought, these brothers are really different.
Rong Zheng went to Qingyun Lane, and Mu Ying was about to leave. Rong Zheng got out of the carriage and thanked Mu Ying in person.
"Thank you so much for the third master, if I didn't meet the third master today, I don't know how wolf bรจi is."
Mu Ying smiled heartily: "It's just a gesture, this is also a kind of fate." Maybe we'll have to deal with it in the future. โ
Rong Zheng responded, and said: "Please ask the third master to say hello to me when I see the third lady." โ
Mu Ying nodded and smiled, "It will definitely be, don't worry." โ
Rong Zheng watched Mu Ying go away before getting into the car again.
By the time she came home, the house was almost in chaos. Xiao Wang was so anxious that he almost cried, and finally saw that Rong Zheng was back, so he was relieved.
"My eldest lady, why did you come back at this time?"
Rong Zheng said as he walked: "It rained, and I went to Puci Temple halfway to rest. It's nothing, so don't worry about it. โ
"Amitabha, the slave maid watched that it was getting late and late, but the young lady never came back, so I was so anxious...... Not long after, the wife sent someone over to question, and the slave didn't dare to say that the young lady hadn't come home yet. I had to coax them for the time being, saying that Miss, you are a little unwell and are still sleeping. โ
Rong Zheng smiled: "Does Daddy know? โ
Xiao Wang said: "No one came over to ask the master. Miss change her clothes and go to the upper court. โ
Rong Zheng nodded in agreement, and she went back to the warm pavilion.
Ma didn't ask anything when he saw Rong Zheng, and Rong Jiang naturally didn't know that Rong Zheng had come back, so everyone sat and talked for a while. Rong Zheng went back to the room for dinner.
Then I went to take a shower.
Zi Su wiped Rong Zheng's hair, and Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Miss really plans to take care of the Lutang side?" โ
"It can't be deserted, it's far away, I can't go, and it's not convenient to take care of it myself. This place is close, so it is natural to ask more. From now on, it will be our own land. โ
Zi Su smiled: "But Miss doesn't know how to grow crops?" โ
Rong Zheng said a little tiredly: "I don't understand, naturally there are people who understand." By the way, don't forget about that plum blossom. โ
Shiso nodded in agreement.
I walked a lot today, and when I went to bed, Rong Zheng faintly felt a little sore in my calves. This feeling was a bit difficult, and she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Because he couldn't sleep well, his brain was not idle, thinking about what else to plant over there in the reed pond, and thinking about whether Lei Bo should be transferred to his side if he was a down-to-earth and willing worker, or he went to ask the third uncle to find him an errand in the shop. Later, she thought of Mu Xuan standing under the eaves, and connected with his ending in the previous life, sighing why a child of the clan would eventually become a monk?
Wait, she didn't feel like it was the first time she had seen Mu Xuan. It was as if she had seen him before.
Rong Zheng's thoughts flew far away. She remembered the events of her past life. That time she came back to Bianliang, it was not long after she got married, she and Liao Xian went to Puci Temple to offer incense. She seemed to have a quarrel with Liao Xian, and she stood under a tree by the vegetable garden of Puci Temple and shed tears. At that time, Shisu, who had already become a dowry maid, was persuading her.
She saw a monk with hair still growing behind her walking past her, and Master Yuankong had spoken to her about the Dharma. But she clearly saw the arrogance and indifference on the face of the person behind her. At that time, she was still thinking about who this person was, but now it seems that it is Mu Xuan.
(On the occasion of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yu Zhen wishes all book friends a happy Spring Festival, family reunion, auspicious and safe!) ๏ผ
