1296, curious
- A few steps away from the door, a girl from the house is approaching. This girl happened to be looking for Bai Tao, and when she saw that Bai Tao just went out, the girl naturally showed a smile on her face, and she was already saying hello before she got closer.
If Bai Tao got up and opened the door a few steps slower, and the approaching maid outside walked faster, the maid might have noticed that Bai Tao seemed a little strange to shut herself in the room in broad daylight.
However, the slightest difference made an ordinary servant ignore this.
Under normal circumstances, the housekeepers in the house are not allowed to set foot in the house, because the living life of all the women in the house is divided into this piece, and the maid comes to find Bai Tao, but she actually just wants to bring a sentence.
Knowing that Yang Chen was back, but Ruan Luo stayed in the Ye Mansion, Bai Tao realized that Yang Chen and his party were just going to send Miss Ye back to the house, and they had been delayed for so long.
And I don't know why he came back alone, Bai Tao was a little worried about Ruan Luo, and hurriedly followed the girl to the front yard.
Yang Chen relayed Ruan Luo's words, originally to reassure the people in his family, but when Bai Tao learned about the process of the Ye Mansion and learned that Ruan Luo was actually ready to take on the affairs of the Ye family, she couldn't help but become more and more worried.
Seeing that most of Yang Chen's clothes were wet from the rain, it was because he had been waiting at the gate of Yefu for too long, Bai Tao hurriedly beckoned someone to boil hot water...... After being instructed to do trivial things, Bai Tao was a little idle, and she was worried about Ruan Luolai, and she forgot for a moment that she was still questioning the small bottle just now.
Her worried look attracted the attention of a maid beside her. However, the maid only proposed, and Bai Tao actually moved that thought, briefly explained the things in the house, and left the house.
Obviously, she went to Ye Mansion.
She walked in a hurry, and threw off the things she carried, but she suffered the maid she left behind. Looking at Bai Tao's back in the distance, the girl came back to her senses and knew that Bai Tao was not joking, she was really gone. This girl is very rare. When the housekeeper hasn't come back yet. Everything has to wait for Bai Tao to make an idea!
If there is a person who can understand everything at this time, it must not be difficult to see that it is not only Mo Ye who is messed up because he cares about his master's relics, but Bai Tao at this time is not precisely because he cares about a Ruan Luo. Soon to be upset?
The maid of Bai Tao's trust stood at the door of the house and hesitated for a long time. Until I saw the figure of Bai Tao, it had disappeared into the street and handed it over. She was about to turn around and go back to the house, when she suddenly saw the small bottle lying on the bluestone pavement.
Perhaps there is a providence in the dark. The place where Mo Ye lost the small bottle was almost at the entrance of the house. Although the small bottle was intentionally left by Bai Tao, because she cared about Ruan Luo, when she went out, it was in this position that she also left the small bottle.
When the bottle was picked up by an ordinary maid in the house, her first thought was to return it. Because she wasn't sure who left the bottle, the maid was going to hand over the bottle to Bai Tao, who was temporarily in charge of the house, but because Bai Tao had just left, the maid thought about it and was ready to hand it over to Mo Ye, who seemed to be very close to Bai Tao.
Going around and around, the bottle finally had to be returned to Mo Ye's hands.
It's just that when the maid asked a few servants and found Mo Ye's location, she walked to the bathing room, but saw that the door was open, where was Mo Ye's figure inside?
Mo Ye reached out and touched her body, took off her clothes and shook it repeatedly, but she still didn't find the small bottle, where was she still in the mood to take a bath at this time?
However, after "peeling" herself, she jumped into the wide and deep tub, but instead of slowly rubbing her skin with her fingers, she held her head, frowned, took a deep breath, and then sinked sharply under the hot water.
At this time, only the feeling of suffocation can make her calm down a little.
By the time she came out from under the hot water, she wasn't as agitated as she had been, but it was because she had found a new reason to convince herself.
Wrapped casually in a piece of clothing on her body, no matter how thin it was, and her hair was still dripping, Mo Ye ran out of the bathing room, looking for it along the path she could think of and had just walked.
So, when the maid who had picked up the small bottle and came to the bathing room, she saw the door wide open, and the empty room was full of water stains.
Fortunately, the water stains in one place slightly reflected some of Mo Ye's footprints, so that the maid looked for Mo Ye's footprints again, and under the condition that the general direction was not wrong, the two were lucky to meet.
Mo Ye took back the small bottle, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only then did he feel the coldness on his body, although he was shivering, his face was full of joy.
The maid had one less memory in her heart, and her spirit was relieved, but she came to return the bottle, with the intention of asking Mo Ye to help transfer the bottle to Bai Tao, but at this time, as long as the brain was not broken, anyone could see that the owner of the bottle was Mo Ye.
To the maid, it seemed too coincidental.
Therefore, when the maid was leaving, she couldn't help but ask: "Miss Mo, this bottle is actually your thing?" ”
Mo Ye nodded instinctively at first, and after a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, and for a while, all kinds of thoughts in her mind were intricately intertwined, and for a moment there was a mess.
Seeing that Mo Ye only nodded and didn't speak, the maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally thought it was Sister Bai's, so I came to Miss Mo and hoped that you would help me transfer it." Now that the thing is returned to its original owner, it can save a trip. ”
The maid said casually, the first time she heard this, there was no problem. However, Mo Ye's lost and found property, once her spirit relaxed, her mind would become much sharper when her mind was calm, and she immediately realized that there was something wrong with this girl's words.
Mo Ye originally wanted to ask her, "How do you know that this bottle is a white peach?" But when the sentence was about to reach her lips, she suddenly changed her words.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at the maid again, her mind had completely calmed down, and a smile appeared on her face: "Sister Bai Tao, is there something delayed, you didn't look for her directly?" ”
At the mention of this, a sad look appeared on the maid's face: "Sister Bai went out on the front foot." As soon as I turned around, I picked up the bottle, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up with her if I wanted to return it to her. I'm afraid that this bottle will be forgotten if I put it there, because it seems that Sister Bai will go out for a long time, so I came to ask Miss Mo for help. ”
Mo Ye's heart moved, she was about to open her mouth and ask the maid again, "You watched this bottle fall by the white peach?" However, when she was about to say this, she changed her words again, and her tone was only like a casual question: "Have you been out for a long time?" Is there anything important for her to do? ”
"Uh......" The maid suddenly remembered, it seemed that it was precisely because she mentioned it too much that Bai Tao would rush to the Ye family. So before she replied to Mo Ye. I hesitated for a moment.
"Sister Bai Tao seems to have gone to Ye Mansion. The groom who was driving the car just now came back and said that the young master was still in the Ye Mansion, and he only told Sister Bai Tao about the specific reason, although I don't know the details. But it can be seen. Sister Bai Tao is very worried......"
……
Coming out of the king's house. On the way to the next post, Mo Ye kept wandering.
When he was about to arrive at the gate of Xu Zhi's house in the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, Gu Ya, who was walking on the side, finally couldn't help but remind him. Mo Ye was stunned. came back to his senses, and hurriedly sorted out the stack of gift posts in the box he was carrying, and put the post signed by Xu Zhi on the top.
On the other side, Li Dao, who didn't talk much along the way, had actually been observing Mo Ye all the time, even though he had lived for nearly a year, seen a lot of storms, and knew countless people, but today was the first time he had seen Lin Shan's personal disciple, but he didn't expect it to be a girl, and he couldn't help but be curious.
In fact, Mo Ye was also observing Li Dao along the way, all because when he was about to go out, the master specially told him to pay attention to the etiquette in front of Mr. Li. At that time, Master's expression and words were extremely solemn, but in Mo Ye's impression, Master was an arrogant and introverted person, and Mo Ye was naturally in awe and a little curious to be able to admire someone who could be admired to such a state.
It's just that Li Dao said very little along the way, and Mo Ye still had a task on him, and before he finished it, he couldn't take care of anything else for the time being, so he didn't take the initiative to inquire more.
The first person to visit the Wang family today, although his identity is heavy, he belongs to the ranks of businessmen, Mo Ye watched his brief conversation with Li Dao, and he couldn't see what Li Dao's identity was. And after coming out of the Wang family, Mo Ye's attention unconsciously shifted from Li Dao to the Wang family.
Lai Dau has noticed this. Seeing that after the young girl in front of him came out of the Wang family, she had been thinking about it with a straight face, and he suddenly secretly sighed, the little girl before the Lin family set off was lively and vibrant, why did it not take long to come out, and the change was so big?
I'm about to enter Xu Shilang's house and walk around, so don't make any mistakes.
Although this Xu Zhi and Lin Shan are in the middle of the court, they are divided into the left and right positions of the Ministry of Industry, and they are also very close to each other in private, but today's line of work is entrusted by others, and he walks around with other people's personal disciples. Thinking of this, Li Dao finally asked, "Little Mo girl, why have you been so worried since you came out of the Wang family?" Is there anything you think is wrong about the Wang family? ”
Mo Ye didn't expect Li Dao to ask so suddenly, and after being slightly stunned, he quickly shook his head and waved his hand: "No, the Wang family is very good...... It's just that some of them are too good to exceed my expectations, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang to be the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. ”
"So you've already met?" Li Dao stroked a handful of white long beards, and thought silently in his heart: Your Majesty will actually meet this little girl, is it true that the rumors more than ten years ago are true, this little girl is that child?
"Well, this is our first ......" Mo Ye nodded, and paused again in the middle of the conversation, because she felt that the first time she saw that Mr. Wang at a street corner noodle stall in Kyoto at night, it should only be regarded as a passing by chance, and it could not be regarded as a formal acquaintance. She changed her words and said, "Today is the second time I have met that Mr. Wang, and the first time is at Brother Ruan's house. ”
Li Daomu looked thoughtful, and quickly asked, "Are you talking about Ruan Luo?" ”
"Yes." Mo Ye suddenly realized that he had mentioned Ruan Luo in front of Li Dao, and he hadn't been able to change his words, so he hurriedly added: "When the junior first came to Kyoto, he encountered many difficulties, and at that time, thanks to Brother Ruan Luo's care and care, I borrowed it from him for a long time. Fortunately, thanks to his favor, and also for the convenience of our peers, we became brothers and sisters with different surnames. ”
"I didn't expect you to have such a fate with him." Li Dao bowed his head slightly, "Ruan Luo is quite capable in business, and when the shopkeeper Wang poached him from the shopkeeper Jin, Lao Jin was still very reluctant. Originally, the shopkeeper Wang was going to wait for the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce to become more mature, and then handed over the position of deputy to Ruan Luo, but it was a pity that ......"
Mo Ye didn't answer, but lowered his gaze a little more.
The information about Ruan Luo was only taken by gangsters at first, but he left for almost two years, and this statement gradually changed in Kyoto, and became close to death. If he hadn't died, with his ability and the weight of his status in the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, and with the current strength of Zhao Guo, he would not have been allowed to be held hostage for so long without being rescued, unless he had already entered a dead end.
There is another reason, Yi Gongzi, who is now the deputy of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, although he occasionally makes laziness and his style of doing things is a little off-top, but he has never made a mistake in major matters, and it seems that Ruan Luo, who is valued and cultivated by the big treasurer, is not particularly important if he can't come back now.
Because everyone's expectations for Ruan Luo are fading day by day, it will be easier to think that he is dead.
Mo Ye knew that Ruan Luo was alive and well in Xiaoliang Country, and had infiltrated into the core position of Xiaoliang State's military department, although Mo Ye did not know the detailed reason why Ruan Luo had come to this point, but he could guess vaguely that it must be the arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor of Zhaoguo. is also because of this, she doesn't want to mention Ruan Luo's affairs in front of others.
However, she was afraid that Li Dao would talk to herself about Ruan Luo at this time, and it was precisely because she knew that Ruan Luo was still alive that she became more and more reluctant to discuss his life and death with others.
She lowered her gaze, and also refused to make eye contact with Li Dao in advance. She vaguely realized that in front of Li Dao, she couldn't lie, so she simply avoided saying nothing.
In fact, regarding Ruan Luo's matter, Li Dao didn't plan to go deep into what to say, Mo Ye was a little worried. Mo Ye didn't know that she was far less familiar with Ruan Luo than Li Dao. Although it is difficult to hide his regret and regret, but Ruan Luo's relationship with the previous generation, Li Dao does not intend to pass it on to others through his mouth.
Li Dao is a little curious about another thing in his heart, maybe confirming this matter can indirectly prove that this little girl surnamed Mo is not surnamed Mo?
Thinking of this, Li Dao smiled slightly and asked, "How many years has Little Miss Mo been in Kyoto?" Are you used to life here? ”――
