She was quite conflicted and hesitant in her heart: after all, this box is Mrs. Zhang's last relic, so cherished and collected, she even needs the jade pieces in the hands of Sister Yao and her future uncle to close to open the lock, but she is afraid that the objects inside are extraordinary, so she gave it to the little maid of unknown origin, she is really unwilling!

But then she remembered Xiao Gu's mystery, the horror and bloodiness of that night, and suddenly shivered, Ruyao on the side saw her shivering, thinking that she was cold, so she picked up a coat with her own hands and draped it on her body, "The night is cold and the wind is cold, mother still has to be careful." ”

"I'm not in my seventies or eighties."

Mother Qin looked at Ruyao with affectionate and loving eyes, but when she saw that Ruyao brought her another cup of hot tea, she picked up the wooden box and shook it, hearing a slight noise inside, she frowned and said: "Xiao Gu said in the letter, let's bury this wooden box under the willow tree in the back garden." ”

"Why should I hide in the flower garden of our courtyard!"

Mother Qin immediately retorted, she was really wary of Xiao Gu, Ru Yao thought for a while, but shook her head and said: "Next, our yard is only afraid that it will be turned upside down by those people, but I am afraid that it may not be able to be saved." ”

The master and servant glanced at each other, and they both felt that the situation was strict—Mrs. Tai and the Wang family had not obtained the key property, but they were afraid that the two of them would really take over the land deed and pavement, and the courtyard was indeed unstable.

Ruyao insisted on going by herself, but Qin's mother had inconvenient legs, so she asked Bihe to follow and quietly dug a pit under the willow tree in the back garden and buried it.

The treetops on the moon, the wicker is thick, and the water is clinging, Ruyao wiped the sweat from her forehead, and was about to put away the medicine hoe and return to the hospital, but she heard a soft click in the grass not far away.

She was startled in her heart, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

In a panic, he stepped on the air and almost fell into the pond, but was held by a pair of strong palms.

"Miss Ruyao. It's me. ”

She was stunned, and when she looked up, she was greeted by a pair of calm and soft black eyes.

"It's you!"

Ru Yao's eyes widened in shock: At this time, it was already the third watch, and there was no one around, and he actually appeared here!

Her brain reacted quickly, and then she whispered, "How did you get in?" ”

His voice was slightly angry, but he had no intention of shouting loudly.

"I have something to visit my aunt......"

Poor Xiao Yue had never told such a lie, although it was in the dark night, and his face was red and embarrassed.

Ruyao knew that this was untrue when she heard it, but she herself was also acting secretly. Therefore, he didn't want to make a noise, just frowned and stared at the medicine hoe, and thought in his heart: He actually saw it, and now he has lost all his efforts, and he has to hide things in another place.

"I'm sorry to disturb you......"

Xiao Yue is not a stupid person, after a little thought, he understood what she meant, turned around to leave, and suddenly stopped again.

"Zhuangzi's side. You don't have to worry, those two maids are all right. ”

"I've heard Cousin Sheng say it, thank you for your help."

Although Ruyao was sure that the person in front of her was not malicious, on the contrary, she volunteered to rescue the weak girl. But he is the nephew of Aunt Wang after all, so he is still a little wary, although his attitude is polite and gentle, his expression is calm and rusty.

Xiao Yue nodded. I wanted to stop talking, but finally said, "The so-called wealth is moving." You yourself should be careful to recuperate, try not to go out to greet your elders, it is really a last resort, and you should also try to avoid Ruzhen. ”

Ruyao was stunned for a moment, and a look of emotion flashed in her eyes - she saw that Ruzhen had been quite close to him before, but he was willing to speak so bluntly for her safety.

"Childe, if you really have a heart, you should persuade your good aunt......"

Bi He on the side interjected.

"Shut up, you're so presumptuous!"

Ruyao finally scolded her angrily, but turned around and blessed Xiao Yue, "Xiao Gongzi, the maid is rude, I am here to make amends for her." ”

She ignored Xiao Yue's stopping, and blessed herself again, "Gongzi Gaoyi, saved my maid, and also kept my mother's relics, such as Yao Minggan, I really don't know how to say thank you." ”

Her eyes were clear and sincere, and she no longer had Fang Cai's vigilance, but she felt even more guilty, "Fang Cai is the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I misunderstood my son, so I should have made amends." ”

The night breeze blew, rolling up her moon-white long robe, and the dark orchid embroidery on the skirt also shone under the moonlight, reflecting her face as beautiful and dignified as white porcelain.

Xiao Yue blinked, and suddenly realized that he had made an extremely ridiculous mistake: he shouldn't have thought that Ruzhen was an elegant, calm and beautiful woman based on his first impression - in fact, the person who really met these eight words was Ru Yao!

He sighed in his heart, but at this time, he had a different sour taste, nodded slightly towards Ruyao, left a word to take care, and left in a hurry.

The moonlight disappeared into the clouds, the leaves of the treetops rustled, and Ruyao looked at his back and was silent thoughtfully.

"Girl, is this man reliable? He's a ...... after all."

Bi He was straightforward and asked out loud, Ru Yao woke up from the silence and nodded categorically: "He should be an honest and trustworthy gentleman." ”

Bihe was a little unconvinced, and muttered: "I didn't expect that the relatives of the second lady would also have good people." ”

She rolled her eyes and asked, "Then do we have to dig it out and bury it in another place?" ”

Ruyao shook her head, "He treats me with integrity, I shouldn't be suspicious of my benefactor." ”

"What if it's poached?"

Bihe glanced at it uneasily, but saw Ruyao turn away, and couldn't help but hurry to follow, the soil under the willow tree behind the two was wet and overgrown with weeds, and it looked no different from usual.

****

The sky is getting brighter, the daylight illuminates the pond in the garden, the white stone on the rockery also appears transparent, and two figures in Confucian clothes appear in the garden, chanting and reciting, and asking and answering each other.

"Brother Guangren, the beginning of your policy is extraordinary, but there are slight flaws......

Guangren listened attentively to the other party's analysis, but he admired it in his heart: Originally, he was a teenager and was praised by his teachers' relatives and friends, although he was not complacent because of this, he still had some expectations for himself after all, but in the past few days, he finally understood the truth that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the world.

A subset of history, this person knows everything, any cold allusions can be at his fingertips, and he is also familiar with the eight articles that the examiners have liked over the years, and he is also gentle and funny, warm and amiable, and it is really beneficial to talk to him.

Guangren then understood why his father respected this person so much, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "The so-called Candle Night in the Cave Room, when the gold list was nominated, Brother Xue's family could have a family affair. ”

Xue Yu hesitated slightly, and sighed: "Originally, I received a Geng post from a family, but unfortunately, the creation made people, and the woman was ......" (to be continued......)
