Ling Ruo knew that he was asking Yilan, but there was no need for Hongli to know about the grievances between her and Yilan, and said: "Aunt is Eniang's sister, but she was married when Hongli was just born, and she hasn't come back often over the years, so it's not unusual for you to see it.|i^"

Hongli was not satisfied with this answer, and when he was about to ask again, he looked up and found that Ling Ruo had closed his eyes, so he had to swallow the curiosity, leaned on Ling Ruo's side and played with the bamboo pieces and bamboo sticks that Huzi gave him before he left yesterday, and heard Huzi say that this thing is called a bamboo dragonfly.

After returning to Jingsiju, Li Wei's family was there, and the master who specialized in making clothes for the palace was tailoring them for each other, and in addition to the materials that Shui Xiu and they picked out from the warehouse, there were also several baskets of dry goods on the table, and he said strangely: "Where did this come from?" ”

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Master, this is a native product specially brought by the slave from Jiangyin, give the master a taste." "Yesterday they were in a hurry to come, and it was inconvenient to bring them, but today they remembered to come and make clothes, so they brought them by the way.

"It's a long way from Jiangyin to here, wouldn't it be more difficult to carry such things with you, but don't bring them again in the future."

"Hey." Li Wei agreed quickly, but Ling Ruo knew that he was not in a good mood, and he had to talk about him every time he came over, but he still brought a large bag in the coming year, which was really helpless.

When they all left, it was already evening, the sky was clear, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the sky in a red, colorful sunset, like a colorful brocade woven by a heavenly maiden, shining with ten thousand rays of light, and the water stains that had not faded on the ground were also colorful in this glow.

"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk.|i^" Quietly looking at the beautiful glow, Ling Ruo gave birth to a few sighs of emotion for no reason, such a beautiful scenery is undoubtedly intoxicating and addictive, but unfortunately, after the beautiful scenery, this world will be limited to endless darkness; If you want to see such a beautiful scenery again, you will have to wait until tomorrow evening.

If the sun sets in the middle of the day, what about people? Can a man stand forever?

Ling Ruo didn't know the Dao, she only knew the Dao, and only by holding on to everything she had now could she live, protect her children, and protect all the people she cared about.

"What is the master thinking?" Shui Xiu came behind Ling Ruo at some point and covered her with a cloak of blue water. Since Mo Yu and Li Wei left the mansion, she, Shui Yue, and Xiao Luzi have become the most trustworthy people around Ling Ruo.

Ling Ruo had thought about letting her and Shui Yue go out to marry, but the two of them refused to say anything, Shui Yue even said that her only wish in this life is to revitalize ** Zhai, and now ** Zhai is not comparable to before, but it is getting closer step by step, this wish is also achieved, she has nothing to ask for in this life, she only hopes to serve Ling Ruo for a lifetime, in order to repay this kindness.

"It's nothing, I just think today's sunset is very beautiful." Ling Ruo tightened the cloak on his body and turned back to the house, inside Shui Yue and An Er were cleaning up the table, Hongli was no longer inside, and after asking, he knew that when Ling Ruo sent Li Wei and them out, Hongli left the table and went to the study.

Since Hongli began to read and write, Ling Ruo cleaned up the warehouse in the west chamber and gave it to Hongli as a study, and all those things were locked in the empty room in the backyard of Jingsiju.

Hongli usually likes to go to the study when he has nothing to do, Ling Ruoyuan didn't care, but he didn't see Hongli come out until the time of the day, usually at this time, it was time to wash up and get ready for bed, and he brought a freshly heated mare's milk over one by one.

The door of the study was hidden, and it opened as soon as it was pushed, and Hongli was sitting behind the bookcase holding a pen and writing something on the paper, because he was so serious that Ling Ruo didn't know what to say when he came in. It wasn't until Ling Ruo cast a shadow on the paper on which he was writing that he was shocked, looked up, and when he saw that it was Ling Ruo, a smile appeared on Hongli's immature face, "Eniang."

"Are you practicing calligraphy?" Ling Ruo saw that Hongli had a stack of rice paper full of words in his hand.

"Well, Xie Lu Xie Eniang." Hongli moved his sour wrist to take the mare's milk handed by Ling Ruo, and after taking a sip of satisfaction, he said: "Yesterday I promised the imperial grandfather that he would finish writing the rest of the words, and he will enter the palace tomorrow, and my son has to take advantage of the time now that he is free to finish writing it quickly." He took advantage of the free time in the afternoon to draw the lotus flower picture for Concubine Jing.

"How much is missing?" Ling Ruo flipped through the stack of rice paper that Hongli had written, there were four sheets in total, although the words on it were too immature and the gestures were insufficient, but each stroke was written extremely seriously, and there was no messy and sloppy meaning because the night was getting darker.

Hongli licked the mare's milk stain at the corner of his mouth and said, "Plus the one in my hand has already written five sheets, and there are still three left." ”

It's just that these sheets have been written for an hour, and if they are to be written in full, won't it be time to finish? And tomorrow I will enter the palace early in the morning, not late.

"You kid, since you have to write so much, you shouldn't go to your uncle with me today." Ling Ruo said strangely, if it hadn't been for this morning, the words Hongli would have been written a long time ago.

"My son wants to spend a while more with E-niang." Hongli's words made Ling Ruo sad for a while, it was good to have Kangxi by his side to teach in person, but the price was that their mother and son got together less and left more.

Thinking of this, Ling Ruo said distressedly: "Silly child, if you want to accompany Eniang, there will be opportunities in the future, and your homework is important." She thought for a moment and said, "If it's too late today, why don't you write the remaining few pictures tomorrow and talk to your imperial grandfather, I won't blame you." ”

"No, my son has promised Grandpa Huang that he will finish writing today, so he must do it. Grandpa Huang has always taught his son to be a man of his word. Hongli's expression was extremely serious, and then he said: "E-niang is tired for a day, go to rest early, and my son will go to sleep after writing this." ”

Ling Ruo knew that although this son was young, he was very assertive, and once he decided, he would not change it easily, so he had to shake his head and leave.

Just as Hongli finished drinking mare's milk and was about to write, he unexpectedly saw Ling Ruo walk in again, and took an embroidery shed in her hand, facing Hongli's surprise, she just said softly, "E-niang will accompany you." ”

The night is as cool as water, and the full moon climbs into the night sky silently, and sprinkles like mercury under the arch of the stars.

Although it is autumn at the moment, it is not as hot as summer, but after embroidering for a long time, her hands are still a little sticky, she inserted the embroidery needle with dark green silk thread on the half-embroidered satin, and took off the handkerchief she carried to wipe off the sticky sweat on her palm.

Raising her eyes, seeing Hongli's side face in the candlelight, her thoughts unconsciously returned to the spring-filled afternoon three years ago, when Hongli was only two years old, because of Kangxi's instructions, so she would often carry Hongli into the palace to ask Kangxi for peace.
