Chapter Seventy-Six: The Strange Third Brother
Ruoyu followed Zartu to the gate of the house, Zartu whistled, and a big green horse "Dada" ran over, and Ruoyu's eyes lit up.
"Not bad?" Seeing Ruoyu's expression, Zartu said proudly.
"So-so!" If the eagle looked up and answered him.
"Get on the horse!" Zartu helped Wakayu onto his horse, and then turned over and sat down behind Wakasaki.
"Gege!" When the cuckoo saw this posture, he was horrified.
"Du Juan, you go back to the house, there is the third brother with you, it's okay." Ruoyu smiled comfortingly at the cuckoo.
"Drive!" Without waiting for the cuckoo to say anything, Zartu flicked his whip, and the big green horse had run several feet away.
The cuckoo was so anxious that he jumped straight to his feet, but he could only watch the two of them disappear into the night.
"Where do you want to go?" The wind whistled in his ears, and Zartu shouted in Ruoyu's ear at the top of his voice.
"Wherever you go, let the horses run and run until the end of the day!" The cold wind hit his face, but Ruoyu felt extremely excited, and he also learned to shout back to him in Zartu.
"Good! Drive! Another whip went down, and the big green horse ran faster.
After running for a long time, Zartu slowed his horse down and finally came to a stop in front of a log cabin with the lights still on.
"Come, come down!" Zartu dismounted first, and then carried Ruo Eagle off his horse.
"Where is this? Yes! Ruo Ying looked around curiously, and let Zartu carry him off the horse, and his feet touched the ground, thinking that it was because the weather was too cold, and he rode his horse and blew a gust of wind, and his legs and feet were numb.
"I don't even wear a cloak on a cold day." Zartu simply carried Ruo Ying into the house, and although the lights were on, the room was empty.
Only then did he put Ruo Ying down and sit down, Zartu turned around and went out of the house, tied the big green horse, took off the wine bag from the horse's back, and as soon as he entered the house, he threw it to Ruo Ying, and said, "It's cold, go and go to the cold." ”
Ruo Ying guessed that it was wine, opened the stopper, and sure enough, it was spicy, and he drank it ruthlessly, and coughed for a long time.
"I heard the fifth brother say, you don't usually stay in the palace, you always live here?" Ruo Ying put down the wine bag and looked around.
"This shabby wooden house is much more comfortable than the palace to live in." Zartu picked up the leather bag on the table, took several large mouthfuls of it, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve again.
"That's right." Ruo Ying nodded, agreeing with him.
Zartu was stunned at first when he heard this, and then remembered Ruoyu's "life experience", and said clearly: "I heard that you have been in Jiangnan before, and you have suffered a lot in it, but it is better, it is better than being locked in that vermilion lacquer gate." Zartu glanced in the direction of the palace and said disdainfully, "You think you've seen it tonight." ”
"When you went to the house today, didn't you go to see Aunt Wan?" Ruo Ying changed the subject.
"You've come out for a while, I'll send you back." Zartu didn't answer Ruoyu's words, got up, grabbed his skin, and walked outside.
Ruo Ying knew that the two of them met for the first time, and he couldn't ask about these things, so he didn't ask again, and followed him out, letting Zartu send him back to the house.
In front of the gate of the palace, if the eagle dismounted and settled, Zartu turned over beautifully and rode away, but if the eagle didn't even say anything else.
Looking at the direction of Zartu's departure and thinking for a moment, Ruoyu smiled, turned around and entered the house, thinking that the cuckoo was going to be in a hurry, and he had to go back quickly.
"Wakayu." Wakamoto walked quickly to the yard, and heard someone behind him calling him, it was Tsubaki, and there was a lot of snow on his body, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.
"Fifth brother." Ruoyu smiled faintly and watched Tsubaki Tai walk towards him step by step.
"Where have you been, why are your hands frozen?" Tsubaki Tai wanted to take Ruoyu's hand as usual, but he paused when he was about to touch it, and saw that Ruoyu had no intention of dodging, so he pulled Ruoyu's hand up, blaming and helping Ruoyu warm his hands.
"I met the third brother, and it happened that I wanted to ride a horse, and the third brother lent me the big green horse for one night." If the eagle didn't intend to hide it, there was nothing to hide, and he and Zartu went out from the gate of the mansion, and there were always people who would see them along the way.
"Wear so little!" Tsubaki Tai said as he shook off his cloak and shook the snow and draped it over Waka.
"Thank you, Fifth Brother." Ruo Ying still did not refuse, and thanked him with a smile.
Tonight's incident, she can also think about it, in fact, there are deep grievances in the houses in this house, and she is just an introduction, coupled with her identity as a concubine, it is inevitable to provoke some incidents. As for the brothers, she also saw it at the time, they didn't stand up to speak for themselves, mostly because of their obedience to their mother, she didn't blame them, if she was herself, she would also help her own mother. Besides, they didn't help, at least they didn't fall into the ground, did they? Moreover, and she will leave here in the next year, and maybe, she will not come back in the future, leaving some good memories, which is good for each other.
"...... tonight" Tsubaki, who is usually outspoken, was also a little hesitant at this time.
"Don't worry, fifth brother, I won't go to my heart, tonight here is either my aunt or brother and sister-in-law, they are all my elders, although they haven't been together for a long time, in the end, I will not hold grudges." Ruo Yu put one hand on Tsubaki's arm and said.
"I've wronged you." Tsubaki sighed.
"Fifth brother, I've been out all these years, and I haven't kept my filial piety when Ama and Eniang died, so I should make up for it." If Babel is Ruoyu's wish that Ruoyu failed to complete for Zhuji, then keeping filial piety is her responsibility to complete Ruoyu's Gegege, she has never been limited to these, but now it is not for herself, she is willing.
"These are not what you think, and your body is only recuperating better, and I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it during the three-year filial piety period. Since you have this heart, Amma's study is still furnished as it is, and I am also cleaned every day, so no one goes over on weekdays, and it is quiet, and you go to copy a few scriptures every day, and the first seven are full. When the mind arrives, I want to come to Ama and Da Eniang can also understand it. "Tsubaki Taidao.
"In this way, it will depend on the fifth brother, and the fifth brother will be bothered to help Zhang Luo at that time." Ruoyu thought that modern times are also the seven-day filial piety period, three years, and she was not sure if she could do it, so she nodded and agreed with Tsubaki Tai's suggestion.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed quickly after the New Year's Celebration." Tsubaki Tai sent Ruo Ying back to the gate of the courtyard and said.
"I know, I'm tired of playing today, and I'm sleepy early. Fifth brother, let's go back early, I can feel the autumn water that my sister-in-law is looking through when I stand here. Wakahoku looked at Tsubaki with satisfaction, and the roots of Tsubaki were a little red.
"Even your fifth brother is joking, this girl!" Tsubaki Tai made a beating motion, but he didn't fall for a long time, so he waited for Ruoyu to walk into the yard slowly, and then he said, "Count your girl running fast!" Then, he turned and walked away.
I entered the house, but there was no one inside, which is strange, where did the cuckoo go?
"Gege!" I really couldn't help but chatter, if the eagle only thought about her, the cuckoo rushed in at the door, and while looking up and down to see if the eagle was damaged, he said, "Gege, where have you been?" I'm going to die in a hurry, and I have nowhere to find it, so I can only stay in the house and be in a hurry! Just now, the slave maid went to the gate of the mansion to take a look, but I didn't expect Gege to come back first, but was it frozen? ”
"I'm fine, just went out for a ride." Ruo Ying smiled and pressed the cuckoo to the chair and smiled.
It's easy to appease the cuckoo, Ruoyu is soaking in a hot bath while thinking about the night, I don't know what this Zartu thinks, hasn't he always been at odds with the people in the house? How could he drag himself out of the house to relax, and take himself to his wooden house? She didn't think that one side could make him fall in love with a "sister" who hadn't seen her for more than ten years.
"Cuckoo, what about the Divine Decree?" Ruo Ying asked as she picked up the petals in the water and rubbed them on her body.
"As soon as the slave and maid returned to the house, they put away the decree." The cuckoo replied.
"Take it out, what is written on Nian Nian?" Although she guessed a rough idea, she was also curious about the content of the holy decree, and she didn't know what the hell idea Kangxi would come up with.
"Yes, Gege." The cuckoo took out the holy decree and unfolded it, but it was silent for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Wakayu looked at the cuckoo.
"Gege, this ......" Cuckoo handed the decree to Ruoyu.
If you dry your hands and take the decree - the blank decree? With a sigh, Ruoyu rolled up the holy decree, handed it to the cuckoo, and said, "Put it away." You should have never seen the contents of the holy decree, and as soon as the palace door is opened tomorrow, let Bagan send the holy decree back so that no one can see it. ”
"Yes, Gege." The cuckoo didn't say much, and took the decree back to its place.
Lying down comfortably, Ruoyu called the cuckoo to the bed, and the cuckoo was reluctant at first, but he didn't resist Ruoyu in the end. The bed is huge, and it is not too crowded for two people to lie on it.
Du Juan said that her home is in the prairie, with blue sky and white clouds, green grass, cattle and sheep.
If the eagle teases her, there is no lover for her on the prairie.
The cuckoo hurriedly waved his hand and said no, but suddenly blushed again and squirmed when he spoke.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve again, every year, she is surrounded by different people, I don't know who will be around her next year?
