(424) The purpose of borrowing
γ Thinking that he was about to embark on a relatively long journey to serve Ruan Luo, Yang Chen felt that he needed to know who his owner was.
He had long suspected Wang Zhe's identity, but at the beginning, he only thought that Wang Zhe was a meeting in Pingshui, but he didn't expect that at this time, so many variables had happened, so that he could no longer ignore it.
Maybe his question didn't seem very polite, but he was just an ordinary coachman, and he didn't know what kind of Cheng dΓΉ to be polite to, so before that, he tested his weight in Wang Zhe's eyes.
Regarding Yang Chen's question, Wang Zhe was silent.
This time, he was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he didn't answer, but asked calmly: "Does he look more like the Sven prince in this mansion than me?" β
Yang Chen didn't understand the purpose of his sudden question, but although he had been doubting his identity, he didn't have malicious speculation about it, so after hesitating for a while, he replied according to the actual thoughts in his heart: "A little." β
Wang Zhe spoke again, but his tone was a bit like he was talking to himself: "But I seem to be more in charge than him." β
This time, Yang Chen didn't say anything.
"I'm going to ask Dr. Ye to come, you can give me a ride." Wang Zhe changed the topic very quickly, but in the next sentence, he got back to the point: "The question you ask should be explained clearly, not just a few words. On the way to Dr. Ye's house, I'll tell you some. β
When Mo Ye tested Ruan Luo's medicine just now, Yang Chen was also present, so he naturally heard Doctor Ye's name.
Yang Chen nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and walked with Wang Zhe to the shed where the horses were placed at the back door of the Song Mansion.
β¦β¦
Seeing Ruan Luo finish drinking the medicine, Mo Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take out the medicinal candy that Wu Shu gave her last night. It was given to Ruan Luo.
Mo Ye felt that he might not need this medicinal candy very much, and giving it to Ruan Luo might be more useful. Ruan Luo's stomach is too weak, and I hope that after he eats these medicinal sugars that have a soothing effect on the medicinal juice, he can get better as much as possible. In addition, Mo Ye also found that although Ruan Luo was nearly six years older than her, he was a person who was very afraid of the pain of eating decoction and medicine, and he still seemed to be a little childish!
Sure enough, Ruan Luo took a pill candy. Soon stared at Mo Ye and asked, "Is there anything else?" β
Mo Yeze's eyes drooped slightly, glanced at the paper bag he was holding in his hand, pouted and said, "What you have in your hand hasn't finished yet." Thinking about stockpiling sugar so quickly? β
Ruan Luo's face showed a slight embarrassment, and he was stunned and said, "It will be finished soon." β
Mo Ye smiled and said: "I really haven't been Doctor Ye's medicine boy, all the medicinal sugar is so much, this is still when I was sick, I was able to get it from him." β
Ruan Luo lowered his gaze slightly. Didn't speak.
Mo Ye pondered for a moment and asked softly, "Brother Ruan, have you ever eaten sugar gourd, sugar man, and osmanthus cake...... Sweet snacks anyway? β
"Yes." Ruan Luo coughed dryly, then pointed to the paper bag in his hand and said, "I ate it when I was very young, but I was still in the north at that time, and there wasn't much candy to sell there." Later, although I came to the south, my stomach was not very good...... I just remember that it tasted a little similar to the sugar. β
Mo Ye couldn't help but be moved.
After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but say, "Although I'm not Doctor Ye's medicine boy. But I think I can still get some more of this candy with my friend's cheapness. β
Ruan Luo's eyes lit up.
However, Mo Ye quickly spoke again, plus her side request: this matter is not without difficulty, so Ruan Luo needs to agree to borrow some books for her to read in the future.
Ruan Luo had no objection to Mo Ye's request, but he also put a paragraph in front. That is, there are really no books worth reading in his study, for Mo Ye, who does not have much arithmetic foundation himself. His collection of books can seem boring.
Regarding this premise proposed by Ruan Luo, Mo Ye did not immediately express her intention to retreat, because the real purpose of her asking Ruan Luo for books was not to read books, but to use it as an excuse so that she would have a reason to read by the lamp at night.
Mo Ye thought to herself, about the "Qianzhao Sutra" that Wu Shu helped her steal, she thought that she could only wait for night to fall, when Ruan Luo rested, and all the servants of the Song Mansion also rested, so that she could have a separate opportunity to read and comprehend. It wasn't the best way to go, but there was only so much she could think of at the moment, and she needed to give it a try.
Wu Shu came suddenly last night, and he didn't blow up the fire until he got into the tent, and Mo Ye was still puzzled by this at that time, and even had a trace of charming thoughts in his heart. Later, Wu Shu left, and Mo Ye understood.
If the lights suddenly turn on in the house in the middle of the night, even if the nursing home passing by sees it, it may not be noticed. But if the two figures are reflected on the window paper, the situation is different. The bed tent is just a cover for the lights, which is the real intention of Wu Shu.
After this incident, Mo Ye later realized another problem: the Song family was completely quiet as soon as it was dark, and the lights were rarely seen, and he had to find a reason to make his behavior of 'reading' late at night look less unusual in the eyes of others.
After a short discussion, Mo Ye deduced that Ruan Luo must have read some idle books during the three years of recuperation in Bo County. Maybe he doesn't remember very clearly, those books have been brought back by Wang Zhe with the sunny and rainy clock, whether there are them or not, look for them, there will always be some discoveries.
Ruan Luo did not object, and immediately set off, taking Mo Ye to the study, and then he sat on a chair near the door, watching Mo Ye freely rummage through the books placed on the shelves.
After looking for a while, Mo Ye couldn't help but take a long breath at the many books that filled the bookshelves half-filled, and secretly said in his heart: This Ruan Luo really didn't lie, but he wouldn't refute it when others didn't believe what he said, he really had a good temper that made people want to go crazy......
Just as she was about to give up and find another way out, a book that was not too thick in the corner of the lattice bookshelf caught Mo Ye's attention.
The book may have been read more frequently, so the cover of the book naturally lifted a little. And what caught Mo Ye's attention was not the cover list of the book, but the line of text that was revealed when the cover was half-covered.
Because the content of the book is in vertical format, the cover is slightly tilted, and the coverage is slightly shifted to one side, so that it obscures the right half of the text of a vertical bar, revealing only the left half.
The content of the text of the book was not the focus of Mo Ye's attention, and her gaze froze when she looked at the book, mainly because this half of the text reminded her of the half of the text on the painting.
She associates the two together, also because both sets of text are vertical, the right half of the text is omitted, and the left half of the first half of the line is exactly the same.
After leaving Ye Mansion, the question that had been worrying about Mo Ye's heart was suddenly provoked again by this half word.
And the reason why she couldn't let go of the broken sentence was because she vaguely felt that the strokes of that line were related to a person.
Growing up, Lin Shan's place in her heart is too heavy, so when he leaves, she can't help but want to grasp something related to him. Perhaps this is a bit like a drowning person, who has lost the stability of the earth under his feet and is immersed in turbulent waters, so that he must grasp something in his hands to make him feel safe.
Maybe it's not all like that, and Mo Ye himself doesn't know what it's all like.
Mo Ye squatted down, took the book placed in a compartment on the lower level of the shelf, and carefully turned it page by page. Ruan Luo saw that she didn't seem to be reading, but as if she was looking for something, so he didn't continue to sit still, got up and approached Mo Ye.
After squatting down beside Mo Ye, Ruan Luo looked at the book she was holding, quickly recognized it, and said warmly: "Sure enough, you said that this is a travelogue that I often read when I was recuperating in Bo County." At that time, I liked to read it very much, and I felt that there were many novelties in it, so I often flipped through it, but then I found that I was unlikely to travel as far as the author of the book, so I gradually snubbed the book, but I didn't expect Wang Zhezhen to bring it back. β
Mo Ye buried his head in the book, didn't pay attention to the change in Ruan Luo's words, and only said casually at the end: "Maybe the third brother saw that you were diligent in the past, so you didn't throw it away, and brought it back from a hundred miles away, and specially put it at the top end of a stack of books, so that it was not buried under the box and continued to be cold." β
Ruan Luo's slightly lowered gaze flashed with gloom, and he nodded wordlessly. Looking at Mo Ye's focused appearance, he asked again, "Are you looking for something?" β
"Hmm." Mo Ye nodded quickly.
And she quickly raised her head again, looked at Ruan Luo, and said, "I almost forgot, Brother Ruan used to read this book often, and it should be able to help me find a sentence." β
Ruan Luo didn't ask anything, and said directly: "Which sentence do you want to find?" β
Mo Ye showed a look of embarrassment in his eyes, and said: "Actually, I only know the first word of the sentence, and the left side is the word 'female'. β
"It's a bit hard." Ruan Luo frowned slightly, and said slowly: "There are so many such words, you can find a lot of them, maybe even if you find them, you can't tell which sentence is what you really want to find......"
At this point, he suddenly said, "I only know a half-word sentence, what are you looking for it?" β
"Actually......" Mo Ye hesitated for a while, and finally said the remnants of the suspected '44 Xiaoling', but about its origin, she still made some decorative concealments from Ruan Luo.
Looking at Mo Ye lifting the pen and writing a paragraph on the paper, but it was all broken left half, Ruan Luo stared for a moment, also dipped the pen in ink, and slowly put down the pen.
He was able to fill in the right half of the blank text!
In his pen, the two groups of remnants on the left and right of the white paper are pieced together, although they look a little awkward because of the different handwriting, but they are indeed exactly the same line of words.
