Chapter 58: King Xiang has a dream
In the following days, Ruoyu never went out, she knew that as long as she didn't step out of the gate of Qianqing Palace, then they would not be able to contact her, which was the guarantee that Kangxi gave her.
It's not that she's afraid to see them, it's just that that family banquet made her really related, Babeile said this to the master, and the fourteenth elder brother is a person who holds grudges, if she goes out of the door of the Qianqing Palace with her front foot, she will definitely be picked up by them to Chuxiu Palace to be whipped and beaten. Thinking about it, Ruolu couldn't help but shudder.
Speaking of which, Yu Toad hasn't been here for a few days, I don't know if something has been delayed recently, and I can't enter the palace to accompany me. But also, everyone has their own things, how can they always accompany themselves, Yu Toad is simple and innocent, she really likes this little girl.
"Gege, Yu Toad Gege is here." As the saying goes, this person can't help but chatter, if the eagle is just thinking, Yu Toad comes. Ruo Yu Xin said, turned back to be mean and mean this girl, let her not come for a long time, but saw the door Yu Toad came in with a small face, although some rouge was even, but could not hide the paleness of her face, the pair of apricot eyes that were originally bright and radiant were also red and swollen into two walnuts.
Ruoyu was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Yu Toad into the house, and instructed the cuckoo to bring a bowl of hot cheese. Seeing that Yu Toad's complexion was really bad, Ruo Ying said softly: "Do you want to lie down and rest here for a while to recuperate your spirit?" As he spoke, he handed the hot cheese to Yu Toad.
Yu Toad took the hot cheese in his hand and shook his head.
Ruo Ying saw that she kept her head down, but she still refused to speak, and raised her head and said to the people who were waiting in the room: "Let's all go down." The cuckoo led a group of palace maids and withdrew.
"What's wrong with you? Look at what this eye looks like it is, but where has it been wronged? Tell me if I can help? Ruo Ying held Yu Toad's shoulder with one hand and leaned forward and said.
Yu Toad still shook his head and said, "Ruoyu, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to you in the future." ”
"What's wrong? Is there anyone who doesn't allow it? "I don't quite understand.
"I, I'm getting married......" After saying this, Yu Toad cried "wow", like a child who has been greatly wronged, the tears rolled down in large pieces, and even the bowl was unstable.
Ruo Ying took the porcelain bowl in Yu Toad's hand, put it on the table next to him, held Yu Toad's shoulders with both hands, and said, "Marry?" How can you say that you will get married? Was it a long time ago? "If you have a hunch that this family business is not what Yu Toad likes, otherwise she wouldn't be haggard like this.
Ruo Ying's series of questions made Yu Toad not know which one to answer first, but his brain was even more confused, Ruo Ying also knew that he was in a hurry, so he slowed down his tone and asked her one by one. By the time Ruo Ying understood the ins and outs, more than half an hour had passed. The man's family background and the man's appearance are good, but these are no longer important, the key is that Yu Toad doesn't like it, no matter how good the object is, she can't be half happy, what she likes is her twelfth brother.
Ruo Ying knew that the relationship between the Twelfth Elder Brother and Yu Toad would not be so simple, and some clues could be seen from the interaction between the two at that family banquet, but when I thought of the Twelfth Elder Brother's ancient well without waves, could Yu Toad really get his wish?
"The man can make a dowry?" Ruo Ying asked.
"Not yet, Amma just told me a prophet, and I have to pick another day when I am hired." Yu Toad replied with a sob.
Ruo Ying suddenly thought of something, Yu Toad is fifteen years old this year, and she is also a Eight Banner Show Girl, she should be able to marry on her own after being left with a brand, this Ma Qi is not a fool, how could he suddenly have to engage Yu Toad? asked Yu Chan, Ruo Yu knew that Yu Chan did not have to participate in the show girl election, it was a grace that Su Mala Gu gave Yu Chan in front of Kangxi.
In ancient times, women's marriages were all in accordance with the words of the matchmaker of their parents, and now if they want to help Yu Toad, they want Yu Toad to disobey her Amma, if the eagle is a little big, I don't know if my decision is correct. But Yu Toad and himself got acquainted, if such a cute little girl became a victim of the ancient marriage system, Ruo Ying really couldn't bear it.
Ruo Ying decided to take a gamble, so she pulled Yu Toad up and walked outside the house.
"Ruoyu, where are you taking me?" Yu Toad wondered.
"Go find the Twelfth Master." If the eagle head did not reply.
"Huh?" Yu Toad stopped suddenly, refusing to take a step forward.
"What's wrong?" Ruo Ying also stopped and turned back to ask her.
"This, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, isn't it?" As soon as he thought of explaining his intentions to the Twelfth Elder Brother, Yu Toad retreated for no reason.
Ruoyu turned back to his body and said in a deep voice: "Yu Toad, at this juncture, what are you still reserved?" If it drags on like this, I'm afraid that you will get on the sedan chair, and the twelve masters will not know it! At that time, are you really willing? ”
"If you are a bird, I ......" Yu Toad seemed to be a little shaken, but he still hesitated.
"I know that my daughter's family is thin-faced, so let's do it, you wait for me here, and I'll go and explain it to the Twelfth Master for you, do you think it's feasible?" Yu Toad is lively and lively on weekdays, and at this time, the girl's family should be a little reserved.
Yu Toad nodded and whispered, "Then you will have to work." ”
patted Yu Toad's hand to show comfort, Ruo Ying took the cuckoo to the Twelfth Elder Brother's Yanlu Xuan, at this hour, he was studying in the Shuxuan.
Just entered the courtyard gate, Ruo Yu saw the small road waiting at the door from a distance, and it seemed that the twelve elder brothers were really here. Xiao Luzi was stunned when he saw Ruoyu for the first time, but when he looked at Ruoyu's clothes, he stepped forward and said, "The slave asks for peace for the master." ”
The cuckoo standing behind Ruoyu said: "This is our family Ruoyu Gege, if you have something to look for your twelve masters, please report to you." ”
"Yes, the minion will pass it on to Gege." Xiao Luzi turned around and trotted into the house, and after a while, he came out and asked Ruoyu to come in.
Leaving the cuckoo outside, Ruoyu entered the house alone. Seeing Ruoyu come in, the twelfth elder brother greeted him, and after the two met the salute, the twelfth elder brother spoke first: "I don't know why Ruoyu Gege came here?" ”
"If you know that this move is a bit arrogant, please bear with the Twelfth Master if you have any offense." Seeing the suspicious expression on the twelfth elder brother's face, Ruo Ying continued, "At the family banquet a few days ago, Ruo Ying looked at the twelve masters and Yu Toad and seemed to be quite familiar with each other? ”
"Yes, Yu Chan and I have served by Mama Su's side since childhood, but we have more affection than others, I don't know why Ruo Gege suddenly mentioned this?" The Twelfth Elder Brother didn't hide it.
At this time, Xiao Luzi came in to serve tea, and the twelfth elder brother signaled and said, "If you are gege, please." ”
Ruo Fei nodded and thanked him, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, took a sip, and waited for Xiao Luzi to retreat before he said: "If Ruo Yu is not mistaken, the twelfth master is already double ten years old this year, but he has not yet been married, I don't know ......."
Hearing this, the twelfth elder brother was stunned at first, but he didn't expect Ruo Yu to say this with him, and he couldn't guess Ruo Ying's mind for a while, although that time, he ...... But in the final analysis, he didn't think that the friendship between himself and Ruo Ying had reached the point of talking about his marriage, and the Twelfth Elder Brother couldn't help frowning: "If Ruo Gege is a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, she ran to a man's room alone and said such things, I'm afraid it's easy to misunderstand, right?" ”
Ruo Ying was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of the Twelfth Elder Brother's words, and couldn't help laughing: "It's Ruo Eagle's words that don't understand well, so that the Twelve Masters misunderstood." ”
"Misunderstanding?" The twelfth elder brother felt that he was getting more and more unable to understand the thoughts of the person in front of him.
"If you just talk to the Twelfth Master, today Yu Toad Gege came to find Ruoyu, she ...... Presumably, the Twelfth Master is somewhat aware of it, but he doesn't know what the Twelfth Master thinks? Although Ruo Yu was also curious about why the Twelfth Elder Brother had not yet married, after all, there was no precedent for the prince in the palace to marry Fu Jin at the age of twenty, but after all, it was the private matter of the Twelfth Elder Brother, and Ruo Yu was not easy to inquire.
"Yu Toad?" The twelfth elder brother was speechless for a while, and if he couldn't see any joy in him, he couldn't help but sink his heart.
"Don't like it? Ruo Yu looked at the twelve masters and Yu Toad's male and female appearance, and there was an old friendship, and Yu Toad's family background was enough to deserve the blessing of the twelve masters, this is the ...... What does the Twelfth Master think, can you talk to Ruoyu? "Ruo Yu said.
"I have been with Yu Chan for so many days by Mama Su's side, and I am more kind." At the mention of Mama Su, the twelfth elder brother's tone calmed down, his brows expanded, and he continued, "But when I was a child, I regarded Yu Toad as my sister, and I never thought about it......"
Ruo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "I was not in a hurry at this time, but recently, for some reason, Yu Toad's Ama told Yu Toad about his family, saying that he would be hired soon, Yu Toad was so panicked that he had no idea, so he asked me to find a way." ”
"Marriage?" The twelfth elder brother's brows furrowed into a pimple, and his tone was quite bad.
"Exactly. The twelfth master also knows that although Yu Chan is favored by the Queen Mother, she is also a girl's family in the end, and she still has to obey the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker in marriage. But she just liked the Twelfth Master, when she came to look for Ruo Ying today, her eyes were swollen from crying, and the whole person was very haggard, Ruo Ying also knew that it was a bit reckless, but she really couldn't bear to see her suffer like that, so she came to look for the Twelve Lords, thinking that things might have a turnaround. "I've been here for a while, and I don't know how anxious Yu Toad is.
"Ruo Eagle ......" This is the first time that the twelve elder brothers have called Ruo Ying's name, not "Ruo Eagle Gege".
"I know it's a little harder for you to make a decision all at once, think about it again, if you make up your mind, no matter what, someone will inform me." Ruo Ying looked at the appearance of the twelve elder brothers, and did not want to embarrass him, so he said.
"Okay." The Twelfth Elder Brother nodded gratefully.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, if the eagle just entered the door, Yu Toad greeted him and said eagerly: "If the eagle, how is it?" What does Twelfth Brother mean? ”
Ruo Yu pulled Yu Toad to sit down and said, "Yu Toad, don't worry, this matter is a bit rushed, let's give the Twelfth Master a few days to think about it." ”
Yu Toad's burning eyes dimmed suddenly, Ruo Yu couldn't bear to look at it, and wanted to persuade her, but Yu Toad stopped her, and said with a lonely expression: "Ruo Yu, thank you today, it's not early, I'll go back first, and I'll come back to look for you another day." ”
If the eagle also knew that she couldn't stay, it was better to ask her to go back and be quiet, think about it, and send Yu Toad all the way out.
