Chapter 009: The Old Man
When was the last time she saw this face?
It should be remembered clearly, but Ruosheng thought back at the moment, but there was only a blank in his mind. The last time she saw him, she couldn't even count the days, but it was still very hot, the sun was scorching, and occasionally the light of broken gold fell through the cracks in the doors and windows on the cold and hard tiles, and she would wake up a little more in a drowsy state.
However, midsummer is also going to grow old after all, and later, as far as she can see, only a large area of gray is left.
Silent, Ruosheng quietly hid his thoughts, and heard Mrs. Yun Zhen ask in a low voice, "Ah Jiu, why are you stunned?" ”
Hearing this, she quickly bent her eyebrows, walked forward with a smile, and when she passed by a group of young men in fancy clothes, her face was indifferent, as if she had long been accustomed to it. Walking to Mrs. Yun Zhen's side, she did not salute respectfully, leaned on Mrs. Yun Zhen's shoulder, sniffed the faint menthol incense on her clothes, and said half-coquettishly: "Why have you been there for so long this time?" ”
"I met an acquaintance in Seosan and was invited to stay in Jinju for two days." Mrs. Yun Zhen said indifferently, and there was no fluctuation in her tone.
Ruosheng let out an "oh" and asked curiously, "Do you still have acquaintances in Jinju?" ”
Mrs. Yun Zhen bowed slightly, but did not continue to speak, but asked about Ruosheng's "illness", "My body is well, I don't have to move around in recent days, take care of it carefully." After finishing the words, he said, "After your nurse died of illness the year before last, you said that you didn't like that there was another housekeeper mother in the room, so I only added a few maids by you, but now it seems that you still have to choose one." The voice was low, with two points of charming hoarseness, she said and looked at the Zhu family who was below, and it was obvious that this was actually said to the Zhu family.
Ruosheng no longer objected, and nodded in response: "Wait for the weather to be a little warmer and then pick, and there is no hurry at this time." ”
"It's fine."
The aunt and nephew were talking about the things in Ruosheng's courtyard slowly, and even the second master was listening, so they showed a look of annoyance, and couldn't help but interject, and asked Mrs. Yun Zhen in a low voice: "Sister, where is my finch gold qiu?" ”
Mrs. Yun Zhen looked at him dotingly, and said, "I can't forget yours if I forget anyone's things!" Then he glanced sideways at the young men who were clustered around, pointed to the person who Fang Ruosheng recognized, and said, "Yuyin, you lead the second master to try that finch gold fur." ”
After receiving the order, the young man called Yuyin walked out of the crowd in response.
The figure is beautiful, and the face is like a spring moon.
Lian Erye looked at him, muttered "It's a new face again", walked over quickly, and hurriedly went to the warehouse to find his new coat.
When I walked to the door, I happened to pass by Mrs. Lian 3 and Mrs. Lian 4.
The third wife, Guan Shi, said "second brother" and was still stuck in his throat, and he ran away without a trace.
Yu Yin was a step behind because he saluted his master, and when he saw this, he hurriedly followed.
"Third sister-in-law, the one just now, looking at the eyes, she is very new? Although she was born well, she was not much better than the previous ones, and the eldest sister's vision went back more and more. The fourth wife, Lin Shi, looked at Yuyin's distant back, pursed her lips and said disdainfully.
The third lady turned her head to look at her, frowned twice, and scolded softly: "Listen carefully!" ”
The conversation is at the end of the day, and you can't talk too much.
There are a total of four masters in the Lian family, and Uncle Lian died young, leaving only a widow and two daughters; Even the second master's mind is like a child, and he only has to give birth to a girl under his knees; Even the third master and the fourth master are both physically strong, smart and capable. Only the third master is far away, but he is a concubine.
The background of the third wife Guan is not as good as that of the fourth wife, the Lin family, but in the Lian family, the concubine is not as strict as those so-called famous families, and she is the eldest of the third wife, and the candidate for the presiding officer has also become her.
The fourth wife is young and vigorous, and she has never been very satisfied with this, but because of Mrs. Yun Zhen, she does not dare to put her beak in front of her.
Shaoqing and the two entered the inner room, and they each saw Mrs. Yun Zhen say hello, and then asked about Ruosheng's body.
If she is pampered and doesn't like people to enter her Muxi Garden, even if the third wife knows that she is sick but doesn't have her, she doesn't dare to go to the door by herself, so she only sends the big girl around her every day to inquire. So this is the first time they have seen her in days.
Ruosheng sat on the couch beside Mrs. Yun Zhen, clasped his hands on his knees, twisted his white slender fingers, and replied obediently when he heard the words: "It's all right, thank you for the third aunt and the fourth aunt for worrying." ”
"That's fine." The third lady nodded and sighed, and suddenly realized that the one sitting on the top was one big and one small, and when they looked at it with the wrong eyes, they were obviously not born like each other, but they seemed to be a person.
Mrs. Yun Zhen's eyes were frivolous and lonely, hiding the coolness of seeing through the world.
And Ruosheng, at a young age, her eyes are as deep as an ancient well, cold as frost and snow.
The third wife's heart jumped.
When she wanted to take a closer look, she saw that Ruosheng was just smiling sweetly, no different from the half-grown child she was familiar with.
She didn't know if she had made a mistake at that moment, or if she was really ......
She secretly took a deep breath, turned her head to look at the Zhu family, and said in an affectionate tone: "I have a new chef from Gusu, who is from Gusu, and the Jiangnan cuisine is very good. ”
Without waiting for Zhu to speak, Mrs. Yun Zhen had already said, "It's okay to go and taste it." ”
"Exactly, if it suits the taste, let people move to Mingyue Hall." The third wife smiled generously.
Mrs. Yun Zhen said a faint "um".
Zhu also thanked him warmly and responded to this matter.
Only the fourth wife was not very happy, she didn't look down on the Zhu family, and she never thought that she would meet her in Qianzhongyuan, so she didn't prepare anything, and it wasn't the third wife's eight-sided exquisite temperament, so she was forced to compare.
She held her breath and didn't bother to speak.
Mrs. Yun Zhen knew it and didn't pay attention to her.
It's boring to sit, the fourth wife is leaving, and the third wife has to say goodbye.
Who knew that when he left, he happened to meet the second master Lian who turned back.
The third wife's "second brother" finally came out with the word "two" this time, but the back was still blocked.
Second Master Lian interrupted her, turned around in a circle, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Very well, this material is very good for you." The third lady looked at it carefully, saw that it was Finch, and smiled and praised.
The fourth wife said perfunctorily: "You haven't worn any good materials and good clothes, and you are not bad at this one, so it is not good to buy it again." ”
Even the second master listened with his ears pricked up, snorted lightly, and said in front of the fourth wife and the entourage: "If you don't want to deal with me, I can ignore it, and if you say it, you can't choose something nice to say?" Yan then wondered, "Why does the fourth child like you?" ”
"Second brother!" The fourth lady brushed her face red, stomped her feet and shook her sleeves away.
Even the second master was puzzled, and asked the third wife: "I said something wrong?" ”
The third wife said, "Also, it's not ......"
"Yes, she didn't say that I would go back and ask the fourth child!" Lian Erye frowned, and finally let the third wife leave, and trotted all the way back to the house, and asked first without waiting to stand still, "Okay?" ”
Ruosheng said: "It's more gorgeous than the birds you raise!" ”
That's what it means to be beautiful.
Even the second master laughed happily.
Mrs. Yun Zhen glanced at Ruosheng suspiciously, and her pale red lips pursed into a line.
Ruosheng knew what she was wondering about, so he let her see it generously.
Human nature will always change with the passage of time, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the dead. She had lost them, and now that she had them again, she would never be treated the same way she had been.
Mrs. Yun Zhen looked at her, and she was also looking at Mrs. Yun Zhen's people.
For as long as she can remember, there have always been young and outstanding men around her aunt, back and forth, all dressed in the same way, and she has never been able to tell who is who.
In fact, after my aunt's thirty-third birthday, she didn't fall in love with men and women.
Later, the people who followed her were more like entourage, like guards, and like a plaything used to relieve boredom. On weekdays, I hugged and laughed in one place, moved tables and chairs in twos and threes, and there were always endless tricks. Even the items in the warehouse were taken care of by this group of people.
Today, however, it's different.
Ruosheng glanced at the young man standing behind Lian Erye out of the corner of his eye, thinking that he had been like a moth to a fire, plunged into his raging fire, burned to the point that his bones and flesh were charred, and he would never recover, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile that couldn't be lighter.
The slight curvature is almost the same as the touch at the corner of the young man's lips.
