Chapter 60: Red and White Roses

Back in Fengyin Pavilion, Ruo Ying was worried about whether the Twelve Elder Brothers would be able to get through the trick this time, until the early dynasty dispersed, and he didn't hear any big movements in the palace, so he went to inquire quietly with the cuckoo, knowing that this matter was over, so he was a little more relieved.

The cuckoo came into the house early with all kinds of colors, and while setting the table, he said to Ruoyu: "Gege doesn't need to get up early in the morning, come and cushion some." ”

Ruo Ying answered, sat down at the table, scooped a wonton and put it in his mouth. Seeing that Gege, who usually has a good appetite, looked like he couldn't swallow it today, the cuckoo said softly: "If it is an unqualified appetite, the slave maid will order to redo it, right?" ”

Ruoyu waved his hand and said, "No, the soup is fresh and delicious." She was just thinking about the Twelfth Elder Brother and Yu Toad, so she ate more slowly.

Suddenly thinking of something, Ruo Yu quickly cleaned up the rest of the breakfast, rinsed his mouth, and said to the cuckoo: "Follow me to the Qianqing Palace." ”

Ruo Yu thought about it, and felt that since the twelve elder brothers were already drunk, they couldn't ask why they came, and Yu Chan didn't enter the palace for a long time. Since yesterday's incident, I'm afraid she won't come in a short time, Ruo Ying thought that he would simply go to Yu Toad's Mansion to ask her for an explanation, and save himself from fidgeting in the house.

"You're leaving the palace?" Kangxi stopped what he was doing with interest and looked at Ruoyu.

"Yes." Ruo Yu nodded and said, "A while ago, Yu Chan has been entering the palace to talk to Ruo Yu to relieve her boredom, and I have rarely seen her recently, and I am a little worried in my heart, so I want to ask the emperor for grace and go to Yu Chan's Mansion to see her." ”

"Since entering the customs, I haven't heard of a guy who said that he would leave the palace when he left the palace." Ruo Ying was a little deflated, and he knew that it would not be so easy, but he didn't expect Kangxi to untie a token from his waist and hand it to Ruo Ying.

"The emperor's ......" Ruo Ying took the token, a little embarrassed.

"I don't want to hold you down, but I have to get back for lunch before the time comes." Kangxi Road.

"Yes, thank the emperor for his grace!" made a big salute, and Ruo Ying rushed out of the Qianqing Palace.

After the little eunuch prepared the carriage, Ruoyu took the cuckoo and several guards sent by Kangxi out of the palace together.

The door of the university scholar's mansion was closed, and the cuckoo stepped forward to call the door, and a person who looked like a family member opened the door, and the cuckoo said crisply: "Tell you to come out, we have come to visit the second lady of your family." ”

When the family heard that Gege was visiting, although he didn't know whose house it was, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around and invited the head of the house. When the cuckoo saw the steward come out, he didn't say much, and as soon as the token was lit, the door of the vermilion lacquer was wide open, and a group of people welcomed Ruoyu in. If the eagle went outside as a "Gege" for the first time, he was not very familiar with the situation, so he naturally handed it over to the cuckoo to take care of, and only then did he look at the cuckoo's demeanor, Ruoyu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh twice in the carriage.

From the mouth of the chief manager, Ruo Ying knew that Ma Qi had not returned to the palace early this morning, and he led several people into Yu Toad's courtyard. When I entered the yard, Ruoyu saw a little girl dressed as a maid leading a middle-aged man out, and the man seemed to be carrying a medicine box.

"Mr. Wang, this is ......," Ruo Ying frowned.

"Qi Yu Gege, my young lady suddenly contracted a cold yesterday and has been bedridden." Mr. Wang said respectfully.

"Caught in the cold?" Ruo Ying quickened his steps and walked to the door of the house, before he wanted to push the door in, and the manager Wang said: "Gege has been careful about his illness. ”

"I've never been shy about that." With that, he pushed the door and entered.

Bypassing the screen, Yu Toad was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and a young maid was serving, and the little maid saw Ruo Ying coming in, and she was accompanied by the chief manager of the house, and she was very discerning and asked Ruo Yu for peace. Ruo Yu nodded and sat on the edge of Yu Toad's bed, but saw that Yu Toad's face was flushed and his breath was heavy. Ruo Ying reached out and probed Yu Toad's forehead, which was very hot.

"I'm so thirsty, water, water......" Yu Toad muttered unconsciously.

"Water? Go pour a glass of water! After hearing Yu Toad's words, Ruo Yu hurriedly instructed the little maid in the house.

After holding the water cup, Ruoyu fed Yu Toad two sips, and Yu Toad gradually quieted down again. Spread the others apart, and only Ruo Eagle, Yu Toad and Cuckoo were left in the room. Ruoyu whispered to Yu Toad, and for a long time, Yu Toad opened his eyes in confusion and said, "Ruoyu? ”

"It's me, Yu Toad." Seeing that Yu Toad woke up, Ruo Ying said to the cuckoo, "Go outside and guard, and bring the medicine in when it is boiled, and no one else is allowed to come in." ”

The cuckoo was ordered to go out.

Ruo Ying walked to the basin shelf, twisted a handkerchief, put it on Yu Toad's forehead, and said, "Yu Toad, be sober, I have something to tell you." ”

The cold stimulation made Yu Toad sober up a little, and whispered, "Say it." ”

"You're not feeling well, so I'll make a long story short." Seeing Yu Toad's head, Ruo Yu continued, "What did you talk about when you met with the Twelfth Master yesterday? I see that the Twelfth Master is also extremely uncomfortable. ”

"Since you have seen the twelfth brother, why don't you ask him?" Yu Toad looked at it and said.

"He's so drunk that he didn't even go to the early dynasty, where can I ask what?" Ruo Yu said.

"What?" Hearing this, Yu Toad suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Since the twelfth master returned to the palace yesterday, he locked himself in Yanluxuan to drink stuffy wine, no one is allowed to enter, the wine jar is empty bottle after bottle, drunk past, the first thing he woke up was to shout for wine, his way of drinking, it is clear that he wants to get drunk in the wine!" Ruo frowned and said, "Yu Toad, I can see that the two of you have intentions for each other, since this is the case, why do you have to be so stiff?" ”

Yu Toad listened quietly and did not speak. Ruo Ying was anxious, and his voice couldn't help but raise a little: "Could it be that you really want to sit in the big red sedan chair and marry far away to Guangzhou?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Toad's eyelids jumped, and if he saw that there was still room for maneuver, he sighed: "If you give a reason, everything will be easy to discuss, right?" ”

Quiet, stagnant water-like still, except for the breathing of the eagle and the toad, there is no other sound.

"Well, I will run this in vain, since you are determined to marry, then one of you will marry Guangzhou as another woman, and the other will guard the capital for the rest of your life!" Ruoyu's hand was already on the latch, and Yu Toad's faint voice sounded.

"Ruoyu ......" Seeing Ruoyu turning to look at her, Yu Toad said softly, "Ruoying, don't go." ”

Glancing at Yu Toad with a smile, Ruo Ying walked back to the bed and helped Yu Toad lie down, then sat down again and said, "Say it." ”

"Ruoyu, I have always kept my heart to you, I like Brother Twelve, you know this." Seeing Ruoyu nodded, Yu Toad continued, "However, I can't figure out his thoughts, the twelfth brother seems to like me, but it's not very similar. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ruoyu frowned and said.

"Over the years, Brother Twelve has treated me like a sister, I know it, but if he likes me, how can he not tell me or talk ......" Yu Toad's face turned redder.

Ruo Yu smiled: "Xu is the twelfth master sees that you are too young, so he didn't mention marriage." ”

"But I'm fifteen years old this year, we're full, and we'll get married in our teens, I'm ......" suddenly realized that his words were a little too unreserved, and Yu Chan didn't say any more.

Ruo Ying didn't tease her anymore and asked, "What did the Twelfth Master tell you yesterday, why did you two get sick and drunk when you came back?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Toad was silent for a moment, and then said word by word: "Brother Twelve said that he wants to marry me." ”

"Isn't that a happy event?" If you don't understand.

"I refused." Yu Toad's face darkened.

"What!" Ruo Ying exclaimed.

"Ruoyu, until I know why Brother Twelve suddenly changed his mind, I can't marry him with peace of mind. Instead of facing pain every day, it is better to marry someone you don't like and live a dull life. "Ruo Yu looked at Yu Toad for the first time, looking at her from the eyes of an adult, she was mature, but it was also distressing.

At this moment, Ruo Yu was a little unsure, she didn't know whether she should persuade Yu Toad or not, persuade her to marry the Twelfth Elder Brother with peace of mind, this is Yu Toad's life, she has no right to make decisions on her own.

Promised Kangxi to return to the palace before lunch, Ruo Yu and Yu Toad explained, said goodbye and got up, and was about to walk out of the door The moment when the ghost turned around and asked Yu Toad: "Yu Toad, do you have sisters at home?" ”

Yu Toad was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have a sister above, and there are two sisters below, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Ruo Ying shook his head and went out.

When the cuckoo saw Ruoyu coming out, he greeted him, and the maids in the house on the side knew that Ruoyu was going back to the palace, and they were busy asking the king to come over. Ruo Ying waved his hand and said, "Don't bother Manager Wang to run this trip again, just find someone to send us to the gate of the mansion." ”

Several maids hesitated, and one of the older ones led the two out of the yard.

"Listen to Yu Toad, she has a sister above her?" Ruo Ying asked casually.

"Back to Gege, yes. The eldest lady is from the third lady, but she is quite close to the young lady. The maid said respectfully.

"Yu Toad is fifteen years old this year, presumably your eldest lady is already married?" Ruo Yu said.

The maid seemed to hesitate for a while before she said, "The eldest lady is blessed, she passed away six years ago, and the young lady is seriously ill for this." ”

"It's me who is abrupt, I don't know what your eldest lady's name is?" Somehow, Ruoyu had a bad premonition.

"If you go back to Gege, the eldest lady's maiden name is Yuhong."

Yuhong?!

After that, what the maid said again, Ruo Ying had no impression, and only felt that the word "Yuhong" was floating in his mind, and he couldn't erase it. It turned out that it wasn't that he heard it, but that the twelfth elder brother really inadvertently spit out such a name.

Six years ago, she hadn't appeared here at that time, and she couldn't know what was going on, but she was sure of what was between the Twelfth Elder Brother and Yuhong. Yuhong, is that the reason why he has always refused to get married? But how could Kangxi allow him to be so willful? If the person he likes is Yuhong, then why would he marry Yuchan?

It's messy! Ruo Ying simply wanted to help Yu Toad, hoping that this simple girl would be happy, but she suddenly found that it seemed that things were developing in a direction she didn't expect.
