1040 Goodbye
- Seeing that Mo Ye was finally willing to leave, looking at her back, which was walking away unhurriedly and looking a little thinner, the two young bodyguards standing at the door of the bookstore secretly breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously looked at their partner, and immediately caught a trace of hesitation from the other party's eyes.
The two were stunned again while almost looking at each other, and after a moment of silence, the young man on the right side of the door finally spoke first, but what the young man on the left side of the door thought of at the same time: "Regarding this matter, shouldn't we hide it from Miss Mo?" ”
From the eyes of others, the relationship between Mo Ye and Ruan Luo is no different from that of a real brother and sister. Even if the two young men had been employed by Ruan Luo for a long time and knew the true relationship between their employer and Miss Mo, who had just arrived, it did not prevent them from thinking so.
Therefore, after hearing the words of the young man on the right, the young man standing on the left side of the door nodded in agreement before he had time to think too much.
However, he quickly shook his head in denial, and after thinking about it, he said: "But this is also the first time we have encountered something like today, this is a special case, maybe Miss Mo needs to know or not, it is more appropriate for Ruan Gongzi to say." ”
When the young man on the right side of the door heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately overturned what he had just said, nodded in agreement: "You are right. We are just bodyguards hired by others, and we should avoid things in the employer's house that we don't need to be involved in. ”
While the two were having a brief conversation, they didn't notice that Mo Ye, who had already walked away, looked back at them. And Mo Ye, who just subconsciously looked back, saw the changes in the expressions on the faces of the two people at the door of the bookstore when they nodded and talked, as if they had reached some kind of happy cooperation idea, and the doubts in her heart became even heavier.
Originally, the idea of climbing over the wall and revealing the tiles only came to her mind for a short moment when she turned around and left the bookstore. But at this moment, as her doubts intensified, she might not be able to help but be curious to find out.
However, after she walked a few steps slowly, the thought that had been hesitantly brought up a second time was gently put down by herself.
One is because of her trust in those two young bodyguards, and the other is that she has some suspicions that she has become too complicated and sensitive today because of some foreign affairs, and she is a little worried. But the crucial point was that she saw a familiar figure walking towards her not far across the street.
In the three years after Ruan Luo lived in the Song Mansion, he took care of Mo Ye and Bai Tao as his own sisters. is also as Ye Nuonuo has commented many times. He is also quite friendly to the rest of the servants in the house.
However, as a servant in the house, there must be an obligation to serve the master. The distinction between master and servant is still in place. Fortunately, in addition to running more than a dozen shops every day, Ruan Luo has no fun in his limited spare time, and there are only two girls he often summons in the past three years, even if he has been difficult to show the majesty of the head of the family. It will not affect the servants of the entire mansion to be pampered and proud.
At this time, coming from across the street was one of the two girls that Ruan Luo often called. Of course, Mo Ye will not feel strange.
"Grass?" As the maid Xiaocao approached, Mo Ye observed that her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, and she felt even more puzzled in her heart. "What's wrong?"
Mo Ye would ask this, not because she thought of what happened to the Song Mansion based on the tears in the corners of Xiaocao's eyes. What can happen to the Song family's mansion? There are dozens of guards with martial arts watching, taking turns to patrol the changing of the guard. Sometimes even Mo Ye feels that this spacious house is not for living. It's the place where the yamen works.
At this time, Mo Ye was just concerned about Xiaocao out of pure concern.
In recent years, although Ruan Luo would call these two girls whenever he had any trivial matters to help, it was not that they had to wait for the summons at the Song Mansion all day. For this point, Ruan Luo was very clear, and said that today, it was Xiaohua who stayed on duty in the Song Mansion - it is estimated that she was also idle at this time, either pruning flower branches or basking in the sun - and when Mo Ye went out today, it was just when Yang Chen went out to play and relax with the grass on duty.
Their wedding date is approaching, and the process of walking together should be extraordinarily sweet.
But at this time, Mo Ye only saw her come back alone, no, it can't be said that she is back, but it seems that she deliberately came to Ruan Luo for something.
As a girl who has served Ruan Luo for a long time, Xiaocao certainly knows where Ruan Luo spends most often when he is busy during the day, and from Mo Ye's eyes now, the attitude on Xiaocao's tear-stained face seems to be more preoccupied than wronged.
Things seemed to be as Mo Ye observed and speculated, Xiao Cao, who came here alone, was quite deep in her heart, and it was not until she was only a few steps away from Mo Ye that Xiao Cao recognized her Cunzài.
However, just by glancing at Mo Ye, Xiaocao seemed to suddenly see something that frightened her, her eyes shrunk, and her footsteps were slightly paused before returning to normal.
Because Mo Ye never looked away from the other party when she saw the other party in the first step, these fleeting details of behavior would be clearly seen by her.
In addition, Mo Ye could clearly see that when Xiaocao also discovered her with hindsight, she actually showed a smile. In Mo Ye's opinion, this smile certainly seemed a little strange.
Facing Mo Ye's concerned question, Xiaocao, who approached, only shook his head slightly, and did not say anything immediately.
She first glanced in the direction of the bookstore a street away, and the reluctant smile on her face gradually faded, and then she turned her gaze to look at Mo Ye and asked, "Miss, did you ...... just now?" Young master, is he busy now? ”
Mo Ye heard Xiaocao's words and suddenly changed her words halfway, but at the same time, she felt that there seemed to be something in her words that she didn't want to understand at this time. Suspicion only hovered in her heart for a moment, she couldn't think of anything strict that Xiaocao could do to Ruan Luo immediately, not to mention that she had just been stopped by the two bodyguards who were accompanying Ruan Luo, whether Ruan Luo was inside or not, she believed that Xiaocao would not be able to enter at this time.
"It should be very busy......" Mo Ye replied, although there was a slight hesitation in her tone, but what she said was really true, "It seems that there is something important involved, and the two guards won't even let me in." ”
"Oh......" Xiaocao replied as if she was a little distracted, but in an instant she suddenly asked again: "Is that so?" ”
The question came very suddenly. It was as if she had known what Ruan Luo was doing in the bookstore, so she denied Mo Ye's words.
Of course, Mo Ye noticed this difference between Xiao Cao's words, but she really couldn't imagine what Xiao Cao had encountered, and her mood would be so strange. At the same time, she was more obviously aware that Xiaocao suddenly came here alone, and there might really be something important to tell Ruan Luo.
She couldn't help but glance sideways in the direction of the bookstore, hesitating slightly. When he turned his eyes to Xiaocao, he said, "If you really have something urgent. You have to find him to call the shots, then I'll accompany you there. If you go alone, those two may not let you in. ”
When Mo Ye's voice just fell. Xiaocao didn't know what she thought of, her expression was stunned, her originally pursed lips opened and closed silently a few times, and it took a long time before her voice overflowed with a very soft sentence: "Miss." Don't you ask me what I have to do with the young master? ”
"If you don't want to tell, I won't ask. You and I are not children anymore, so we should have the need to keep some of our own private affairs. Mo Ye smiled slightly, held Xiaocao's hand, and faintly felt that her palms were a little clammy and cold. And don't you think, if I wanted to know, I could have learned from him? But that's not the same as if you were telling me directly. You don't look happy right now. ”
While Mo Ye was talking, he was already holding Xiaocao's arm. Slowly led her side by side towards the bookstore. But when she finished speaking, Xiaocao's footsteps gradually slowed down.
"Xiao ......" waited until Xiaocao's footsteps stopped completely, and she finally couldn't help but speak again, but before she could say the word "small", she was covered by another "small" sound not far away. The loud shout that happened to come seemed to have contributed to the occurrence of something in the dark, and destroyed the courage that Xiaocao had mustered up in an instant when he heard Mo Ye's words just now.
"Grass!"
Across the street, it was Yang Chen's voice shouting while running.
Mo Ye and Xiaocao, who were walking side by side, turned their heads to look at Yang Chen when they heard the sound, but when they saw the familiar figure that was chasing after them, the thoughts in the hearts of the two women were completely different.
Seeing Yang Chen chasing after him, Mo Ye was really relieved in his heart: it seems that he was really worried just now, Xiaocao is afraid that he really just suffered some grievances, so he will ...... However, Mo Ye, who had just come to this point in his heart, was suddenly surprised again.
Xiaocao and Yang Chen have a good relationship, although it was Ruan Luo who helped and indirectly became a marriage matchmaker. Now that the marriage ceremony is imminent, Ruan Luo, as the head of the family, has already verbally promised that he will help the two of them again, and he will attend the ceremony as a witness on the auspicious day. Seeing that the affection between these two people is getting closer and closer, why is it that it is approaching an auspicious day at this time, why is there any awkwardness that must be mediated by Ruan Luo?
Thinking of this, Mo Ye subconsciously turned her eyes to look at Xiaocao, and it was also at this time that her hand holding Xiaocao was broken away, and her eyes only touched Xiaocao's back......
Xiaocao suddenly ran away!
Mo Ye subconsciously chased a step, but the next moment she stopped again.
Today's Xiaocao seemed to be running much more neatly than in the past, and not long after she ran away, Yang Chen also caught up. He bowed slightly and stood beside Mo Ye panting, but he just looked at the back of Xiaocao hidden into the corner of the street in front of him, and did not continue to chase. I don't know if it's because he's been running for a long time before he gets here, and he's a little tired, or if he's also annoyed at the moment and doesn't want to chase anymore.
Mo Ye knew that today's incident was an awkward affair between other people's little couples, and it was inconvenient for her to participate in many things, but when she stared at Yang Chen sideways for a moment, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yang, what's wrong with you today?" ”
Yang Chen, who was panting roughly, didn't answer when he heard this, but asked, "Did Xiaocao say anything to you just now?" ”
"Even if there is, I haven't had time to say yet. As soon as you came, she ran away. Mo Ye spread her hands, and after a slight pause in her words, a thought suddenly appeared in her heart, and she said with a smile: "However, I have to put the evil words in front, today's matter, whether Xiaocao has done a bad job in that aspect or not, and makes you angry, I will definitely help Xiaocao a little more." ”
Mo Ye said that this was really a half-joking and half-truthful meaning, if it weren't for the fact that she and Yang Chen were familiar with each other, she wouldn't have thought of such a sentence suddenly.
But when Yang Chen heard this, his face became bitter, and he immediately waved his hand again and again with a slight tone of begging for mercy and said: "Today's matter is definitely not what you think, alas, ......" Halfway through his words, he suddenly hesitated again.
Mo Ye was just half-jokingly joking. She was not really ready to be a listener to Yang Chen's family, seeing that he was hesitating as if he had something to say yet, she just shook her head slightly, and she didn't plan to say more, so she was ready to go home.
However, just as she turned around and wanted to leave, Yang Chen's long-hesitating sentence suddenly burst out: "Xiao Ye, are you really not aware of it?" ”
Mo Ye heard this. Put the steps you just lifted back in place. He glanced sideways at Yang Chen.
"Xiaocao doesn't know what's going on in the past few days, and she suddenly gets angry at every turn......" Yang Chen said this, unconsciously reaching out and scratching his head. The confusion on his face became even heavier, "Is it just that I haven't taken care of her thoughts somewhere?" ”
"Maybe......" Mo Ye scratched his head like Yang Chen, "The girl will have some reserved feelings before she gets married, right?" ”
As soon as Mo Ye said this, he said. Yang Chencai suddenly realized that he seemed to have asked the wrong person from the beginning.
Yang Chen met Mo Ye in the Hengtai Pavilion area since three years ago. And at first sight, he has lived in a compound and has been together for nearly three years, knowing that Mo Ye has a good temper. The attitude and angle of looking at things are often a little different from that of ordinary women, and some men are open-minded, but ...... It is about the affairs of men and women. At Mo Ye's age, how can he handle it clearly?
This is not something that can be figured out smoothly by having a flexible mind.
Nevertheless. Mo Ye grabbed his head and groped for this sentence, in Yang Chen's opinion, there was still some truth.
"It's hard to guess what the girl thinks." A look of embarrassment appeared on Yang Chen's face, and he laughed dryly, temporarily suppressing the unhappiness caused by his fiancée's little awkwardness today.
Looking around, Yang Chen recognized this place, so he diverted from the topic just now, and said with a slight smile: "This is near the bookstore, you came to find Ruan ......" As soon as he said this, the smile on his face suddenly froze, "No, no, is she looking for ...... She's not going to sue me, is she? ”
Xiaocao is a slave, Yang Chen was close to living a wandering life in all directions before being employed by Ruan Luo, he is not even a slave, about his marriage, mainly relying on Ruan Luo's help, and getting through several important official documents related to marriage - if on the eve of marriage, Xiaocao is really awkward Yan zhòng arrived at this Cheng Dù, Yang Chen really can't imagine that Ruan Luo will not withdraw because he feels troublesome.
Although Ruan Luo is also a good-tempered person, he is even very kind to the subordinates of the Song Mansion, and he has almost never put on the prestige of the head of the family with thousands of family fortunes, but this does not mean that he can be pampered and arrogant as a subordinate, and he has no sense of proportion, and he really treats himself and the master's family as people in the same house.
Yang Chen often had to leave his hometown to earn a living because of the embarrassment of life when he was young, although this experience was not happy, but it always sharpened his heart and taught him many responsibilities as a human being. Didn't he know that although Ruan Luo treated him well, he and Ruan Luo were separated by the same identity after all.
It's just that he really can't imagine what kind of grievances Xiaocao has suffered, and he would think of finding Ruan Luo.
The matter of their marriage is enough to trouble Ruan Luo, today is just a little awkward on the way to buy a dress, if you want to be angry, even if you come to him, how can you disturb Ruan Luo again?
As soon as he thought of this, the heart that Yang Chen had just suppressed was provoked again, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Mo Ye didn't know what was on his mind, and when he thought about it, it was a little superficial. Seeing that Yang Chenqing was a little wrong, with the general theme of persuading him not to leave, Mo Ye only hesitated slightly, and then said gently: "A woman, after getting married, will convert to her husband's family, and she will have some small tempers and be selfish for a few days before marriage, you won't be unable to understand and tolerate it, right?" ”
The bystanders are clear, and Mo Ye's words just hit a problem that Yang Chen has been negligently considering about getting married, he felt that this was reasonable, and his mood eased slightly, so he sighed and admitted: "Yes, at this time, I really need to be more tolerant and patient with Xiaocao." ”
As soon as he said this, he dropped the syllable of the last word, and suddenly raised his voice and sped up, and said: "But such a trivial matter, why should she alarm Ruan Gongzi, she entered the Song Mansion more than a year or two earlier than me, is it because of the long time, some etiquette has been forgotten?" What grievances does she have to be unhappy, just come to me directly, I don't know if Ruan Gongzi is tired enough to help us, plus his own business? ”
Mo Ye stared at Yang Chen in surprise for a moment, it turned out that what Xiaocao really annoyed him was in addition to deliberately making trouble with him. Mainly referring to this aspect, she was a little difficult to understand for a while.
She vaguely felt that the auspicious day of marriage was imminent, and Yang Chen should be more partial and tolerant of his fiancée. Even if he had been selfish in recent days, no one would blame him or anything.
She felt so, and she felt that Ruan Luo should also uphold this attitude.
Is Yang Chen too worried? Or between him and Xiaocao. Is there really an emotional rift that is not easy to repair?
Mo Ye has been busy running errands in Kyoto these days and posting. They don't settle in the Song Mansion much during the day, so they don't have much chance to pay attention to what is going on between the young couple. In fact, before the auspicious day was set, she watched them get along quite sweetly side by side. Otherwise, the big day of marriage would not have been set so soon.
But now, only three or two days have passed, and the atmosphere between these two people seems to have come to a big reversal. This really puzzled Mo Ye, and this kind of transformation couldn't help but make her feel too weird.
Could it be that these two people actually have not reached the point where they are willing to marry each other?
A thought popped into my head. It startled Mo Ye himself.
However, I recalled the process of the intersection between Xiaocao and Yang Chen becoming closer. It's really quick. It only took less than half a year for the two to develop from an ordinary relationship at the beginning to a pair.
And thinking about it, the reason why the relationship between these two can progress so quickly is mainly due to Xiaocao. It was about the night of the Kyoto Lantern Festival in the Midyear Festival this year, after the Song Mansion met to enjoy the lanterns. The grass began to stick to Yang Chen. Specifically, it was Xiaocao who first moved his heart to Yang Chen, and Yang Chen realized it later. But he didn't have a good impression of her first. So it was a no-brainer.
However, Ruan Luo is not Yang Chen's parent after all, and he has an attitude of presiding over this matter. He is generally only inclined to support the emotional choices of these two people, and there are some things that he owes consideration, such as the question of whether the personalities of these two people are compatible.
Yang Chen lived a wandering life when he was young, and sometimes his temperament would be rough. Perhaps Xiaocao, who has lived in the courtyard of the deep house for a long time, will feel fresh and special when she first sees this side of him. But to be honest, the life of the small family is dull, and if the male owner does not restrain this temperament, it may not be a good thing.
Compared with acting in a hurry and fearing that the two of them would have a sad hurdle in their hearts, if they suddenly changed their minds at this time and wanted to postpone the auspicious days, it seemed that the latter would be more reassuring. There is no one in each other's family anymore, and even if they really want to do this, they won't embarrass too many people.
"If you're really annoyed, then change the auspicious day. When you think it through, you can reschedule your day, which is what everyone is happy to see. After thinking for a while, Mo Ye's face gradually sank, and he deliberately provoked Yang Chen, also wanting to probe Yang Chen's determination from a reverse angle. After a slight pause, he added: "It can also be regarded as a little punishment for your sister Xiaocao." ”
This time it was Yang Chen's turn to be taken aback.
Looking at Mo Yeshen's face, it didn't seem like she was joking, and with her status as a houseist sister at this time, if she said it, I am afraid that Ruan Luo would really consider it.
After looking at Mo Ye in a daze for a moment, Yang Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand. After shaking for a long time, he realized that it was useless to just wave his hand, and then he spoke, and his speech had become a little knotted: "No, no, of course you can't change your day......"
After holding it for a while, he still couldn't find a conscious and proper explanation, so he had to sigh again, and whispered in a dry voice: "You really want to help her in everything." ”
"Otherwise? Do you want me to turn to you? A slight arrogant look appeared in Mo Ye's eyes, and he also deliberately showed Yang Chen, "Then what have I become?" ”
"Woman, I can't mess with ......" Yang Chen glanced at Mo Ye with innocent eyes, but when he said the word "de", before the words fell, he suddenly turned his head again and emphasized: "But I have to 'provoke' Xiaocao, even if I 'provoke' her beating, I won't suffer it half-silently." Xiao Ye, I'm sincere, don't mention the change of auspicious days. ”――
