Chapter 208: Heart
Ruyao blinked, and was about to push the other party away in a panic, but who knew that one stumbled but almost fell to the ground again, and that person was indeed a gentleman, and let go immediately after holding her up.
"This is the inner house garden, and men are not allowed to trespass...... You're on the wrong side, this son. ”
Ruyao remembered Fang Cai's warm touch, and her face was hot for a while, but she still scared the guest order calmly and politely.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless."
The young man's eyes were clear, and after glancing at her, he lowered his eyes out of courtesy, and looked down, but saw the honeysuckle embroidery on her pink and blue embroidered shoes.
The needlework is delicate and delicate, and the sinuous mantle is even more intriguing, and only when you look closely can you realize that it is made of two different pieces of upper fabric.
It was obviously an extremely embarrassing situation, but it was calmly covered up because of the master's ingenuity...... He remembered the conversation he had just seen and heard, and he had a clear understanding of the situation of the smart and elegant girl in front of him!
It turned out that she was the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, Ruyao.
Xiao Yue often interacts with this house, and there is no shying away from relatives, all cousins and cousins have seen each other, but this Miss Ruyao never appears.
"Since you're wrong, Childe might as well leave quickly."
Ruyao saw that this person was silent, and urged softly - somehow, she intuitively felt that the person in front of her did not look like a frivolous disciple, but in order to avoid the suspicion of melon fields and plums, she still issued an eviction order.
Xiao Yue stood silently, but his heart was full of mixed tastes, and it became a mess.
He came to visit his aunt and several cousins and cousins today - the sudden "happy event of attacking the lord" in the Marquis of Jining has reached the ears of his mother, who accompanied his father to the post in Shandong, and she was shocked but she understood her sister's heart disease, for fear that she would be angry, so she wrote a letter to ask her son, who was close to the capital, to visit and comfort more.
There were a lot of instructions in that letter, but the last sentence made Xiao Yue's heart chuckle - his mother actually had the intention of letting him marry Rucan's cousin!
Although it was just an inquiry, not a decision, Xiao Yue's heart was clouded with a layer of haze: his aunt had always valued him closely, and Rucan Pingsu also liked to chat and play with him. I'm afraid that if both sides of this matter are discussed, there is a chance that it will come true.
But the person he likes is not delicate and straightforward, or even a little rude, but ......
He took a deep breath, and a beautiful and calm face appeared in front of him, and his black eyes seemed to have a thousand words, always smiling at him.
Ruzhen!
The first time we met, it was because Crazy Horse went on a rampage into the inner courtyard, and he saved her at the last moment, and flew to hug her. But it is more thrilling and legendary than today's scene!
Although she was quickly squeezed away by Rucan, he was deeply impressed by this cousin.
Later, he was transferred to Beiqiuwei, and his aunt once asked someone to bring him a lot of food and warm clothes, including a thick and soft gray squirrel silver robe, the embroidered edges were neat and fine, but the lines were faintly embroidered with Sanskrit Anwen and swastikas.
At a glance, he knew that the girl who did needlework was intelligent but considerate, and the silent prayer for his safety made his heart move even more.
I knocked on the side and asked the little maid who sent it, only to know that this was made by Ruzhen, who was raised by her aunt's side.
At that time, he returned the gift. There was a quiet difference, what was given to Aunt and Rucan was the precious skin outside the plug and the Shouwu with beautiful hair and beauty, but what was given to Ruzhen was an inconspicuous Huizhou Gongju tea.
Huizhou Gongju has a miraculous effect on nourishing the liver and brightening the eyes - and she does needlework for everyone all day long. It fits just right.
He was a military general, and he didn't know those sweet words, but this silent concern was quickly replied - Rucan sent him boots that were said to have been made by her own hands, but the dense cowhide thread was obviously the same as last time. It's Ruzhen's handiwork.
The gift he sent again was a box of jewels from Yuan Meng, as well as a set of scissors, thick and thin embroidery needles, and top hoops from the Persian Great Food.
He expected that with Rucan's delicate willfulness, he would definitely pick away the five-colored gems. Leave that set of needles and chisels to Ruzhen.
Later, in the cotton robe he received, there was indeed a small note: the scissors were sharp and bright, and the top hoop also fit the hand, but the silver needle was not bright, perhaps because of the black skin of the Persians.
Quite fresh and easy-going praise and complaints, but frank and witty, without the sneakiness of private teaching.
He was even happier in his heart, and after he was transferred back to the capital, he had come to visit his aunt several times, and every time he could see her standing beside Mrs. Wang, or laughing and comforting, so elegant that he couldn't help but feel good.
So the two passed by when no one was around, or they looked at each other tacitly, or quietly said a sentence or two, and their affection gradually sprouted, and it came naturally.
This time he received a letter from his mother, he hurried over, he wanted to talk to her in private, and when he saw her walking towards the back garden, he couldn't help but follow, but he never thought that he would run into a secret confrontation between the sisters!
Such a beautiful and elegant cousin Ruzhen actually has such a ruthless and fierce side, and her resentful and cunning eyes make him feel terrified when he hides behind the pillars.
It was a side he had never seen before, just like in folklore, the stunning beauty took off her painting skin and turned into a ghost......
It turned out that the object of Ruzhen's hatred and framing was not only his beloved aunt, but also the girl in front of him, who was neither humble nor arrogant—and his gentle and peaceful aunt had such a sinister and vicious idea.
"I'm sorry, I know that Aunt Lu Dao and Ruzhen did something wrong, if I can save one or two, I am willing to ......"
The ghost sent the gods, he said what was in his heart, raised his head slightly, but saw the girl's surprised expression.
At this time, he finally saw that the girl in front of him had a slightly pale little round face, and her bright black eyes stared at him very stunned.
He felt more guilty in his heart, and was about to introduce himself, when he suddenly heard a soft and gentle call from behind him, "Cousin Yue, you are here!" ”
Huo Ran turned around, but saw Ruzhen's clear posture, slowly going and returning, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yue with a quiet and gentle smile, like the warm sun in spring, and the clear moon in autumn - but it was like two people with Fang Cai's extreme and resentful attitude.
Xiao Yue stared at her, stunned on the spot with mixed feelings for a while, Ruzhen's beautiful eyes stayed on Ruyao who was standing opposite him, a warning flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then he smiled more elegantly and leisurely, "Cousin, mother and sister Can are looking for you everywhere, come back with me." ”
The gentle jade fingers pulled his sleeves, so natural and familiar, gentle but not to refuse, Xiao Yue sighed in his heart, and said astringently: "I'll pick a Buddha orchid for my mother, she is a pious and good Buddha......"
He walked around Ruyao's side, walked to the dozen or so pots of orchids in the flower garden against the wall, picked one a little absentmindedly, intentionally or unintentionally bypassed Ruyao's side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I will go to your Zhuangzi and solve this matter for you."
