Chapter 42: A Chance Encounter?!
Seeing that Ruyi's eyes were wrong, Su'er lowered her voice and said, "This matter is that the slaves and maids are not careful, and the slaves and maids will go to make someone find Sister Juan'er......"
Ruyi came back to her senses, reluctantly smiled at Su'er, waved her hand and said, "No need, it's been so many days, if you want to run, you will already run away, don't you accompany me to the warehouse first, this matter will be called Chun Tao to do it, she is an old man in the house, she should be able to do better." ”
Su'er lowered her head and followed Ruyi two steps, and answered softly.
……
After coming to the capital, Ruyi didn't think of Lu Ziyue, she felt a little guilty, and now she was going to visit her in the palace, so the gift naturally had to be carefully chosen, plus Lu Ziyue is now a double person, so she should be more careful about food and clothing.
Ruyi was dumbfounded at the warehouse full of things.
"Su'er, when did we buy so much?"
The warehouse the size of a basketball court is full of all kinds of gift boxes from bottom to top, and there are many that have no place to put them, so they have to be crowded on the ground, and the whole warehouse is messy.
Uncle He, who was guarding the door, heard Ruyi's voice, and immediately came out of the small house on the side, and respectfully made a gesture, "Grandma, there are many items in the treasury these days, and they are all gifts from the ladies of various provinces, and the small ones have returned the gifts according to the instructions of the eldest young master, but there are still so many ......"
Su'er stepped forward and walked around the warehouse, and said in surprise, "There shouldn't be so many, I remember that although there are gifts from the ladies, but each person only has three or five gifts, and there are probably hundreds of them in this room?" ”
Uncle He turned around and went back to the house, took out the elder's hands and handed them to Su'er, "Miss Su'er, you can take a look, I remember all the comings and goings very clearly." ”
Su'er knew a few words, so she was not ambiguous, took the account book and looked at it, turned back to Ruyi and said, "Grandma, the most gifts on this are those who have been in contact with our house, and they are all return gifts, but our family didn't give anything?" ”
Ruyi didn't know what was going on, so she took the account book in Su'er's hand. The names on the ledger are the few families who sent people to Sanli Town to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year's Festival, and they have always been the head of the Lu family, and the families also have a certain status in the court.
Maybe Lu Ziqian did something and didn't say anything, Ruyi thought like this, and returned the account book to Uncle He, "Since this is said to be a return gift, don't care about it anymore, help me find out if there is any suitable gift for pregnant women." ”
Uncle He slapped his head and sighed, "Grandma, this is really a coincidence, the day before yesterday, a person just sent Guanyin over, and the little one was thinking about when to tell him, this Bodhisattva is a good omen......"
Ruyi smiled and said, "That's it, the eldest young master and I don't need to worship anything recently, send the child Guanyin, and find some soft fabrics, don't be expensive, find something suitable for children, if there are any gold and silver locks and the like, take them, tidy them up and send them to the front yard, I will take these things tomorrow." ”
Uncle He thought of Lu Ziqian, who was 'sick in bed', and regretted it in his heart, so he nodded busily.
……
Su'er was worried about her mistakes, so she went back to the yard and went to Chun Tao to discuss Sister Juan'er's affairs.
“…… After Sister Juan came, she was a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, and looked for people outside a few times, but no one paid attention to her, so she rested in the house. The girl who looked at the house said that she was separated from Sister Juan on weekdays, and never regarded her as a master, so there was no vigil, just that day I was tired of doing work, and I rested early, and the next day until noon I found that Sister Juan did not come out to eat, and when I entered the house, I found that the bed was cold, and no one had lived at all. ”
Ruyi stopped combing her hair and looked at the two girls in front of her, "So, Sister Wan disappeared at night?" ”
Chun Tao nodded and said, "Yes, the slave pestered the girl for a long time, although many days have passed, but from the girl's description, no one has used the quilt at all." When we first came to the capital, the weather was still cold, how could it be possible without a quilt! ”
Su'er chimed in, "Yes! I also asked the mother-in-law who was sweeping the yard, and everyone seemed to be sleeping very deeply that night, and there were no clues. ”
Ruyi put the comb in his hand aside, holding his chin and looking at the bronze mirror.
In this way, Sister Wan should have been robbed by someone.
Inexplicably, the water and soil are not adapted, and the people in the courtyard are sleeping soundly at the same time.
Many coincidences overlap at once, and it is not a coincidence.
Seeing Ruyi, Chun Tao didn't speak for a long time, and tentatively said, "Grandma? How do you look in the mirror? ”
Su'er interjected, "The young grandmother looks like the moon, I must not be able to see enough!" ”
Ruyi snorted, came back to his senses, and waved his hand to let the two girls go down, "Okay, okay, don't be poor here, I know this matter, tomorrow Chun Tao will find an opportunity, and tell me to go down, look for Sister Juan, don't ask for speed, just be careful." You two should go to sleep, and whoever should be keeping vigil shouldn't be so serious, and squint for a while. ”
The two maids answered and withdrew from the house upside down.
Ruyi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the mirror, and was in a trance for a while.
I've been here for more than half a year, but I've experienced almost a qiē that I haven't experienced in my previous life, getting married, having a husband who knows and loves each other, having good friends, relatives, and even a heartfelt maid, although it is dangerous now, but what is there to be afraid of?
She still has to wait for Lu Ziqian to come home here safely.
Ruyi is no longer the hairy girl who just crossed over, although she has not experienced any strong winds and waves, but she is also much calmer.
The window was blown by the strong wind and made a bang, slamming on the window frame, Chun Tao, who was on vigil, heard the sound, and came in lightly to say that the window was carefully inserted, and saw Ruyi looking like he was thinking about something, and quietly retreated.
Ruyi was awakened by this sound, the candle next to the dressing table had already burned to the bottom, although it was summer, such a night was still a little cold, so he blew out the candle and got into the quilt himself.
Without Lu Ziqian holding her, Ruyi habitually hugged a pillow, thinking about Lu Ziqian, thinking of the inexplicable Sister Juan and the pregnant Lu Ziyue, and fell asleep in a daze.
……
Uncle He was very efficient, and he packed the gifts early the next morning and sent them over.
When Ruyi came out after freshening up, the gift was already loaded in the car and ready to go.
Because she didn't know what was going on in the palace, Ruyi brought the calm Chun Tao with her as usual, and Su'er stayed in the mansion to take care of the inner courtyard.
Although Jing Zhaoyin was not a big official in Beijing, he was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so his mansion was equally luxurious, located on the other side of the imperial city.
Ruyi's carriage circled three high walls and trotted all the way to its destination. The master and servant in the car were a little uncomfortable, Ruyi was as motion sick as ever, and rested on Chun Tao's shoulder.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Ruyi fell into Chun Tao's arms with inertia, and he was already dizzy, and he almost vomited this time.
Chun Tao said angrily, "Zhao Liu! How did you get the car? Broken master, don't want your monthly money this month! ”
Zhao Liu's voice came aggrievedly, "Grandma Da Shao, it's not that the little one is not good at catching the car, this master suddenly ran out of the oblique thorn, if it wasn't for the little one to tighten the reins, this would have hit someone." ”
Ruyi was just about to speak, when a familiar voice rang out.
