Chapter 20: Warmth
After this night, although Yin Zhen still did not summon Ling Ruo, he was not as ignorant as before, and often came to Ling Ruo's residence to sit and sit when he was free, and said a few words to her or a cup of tea before leaving, and occasionally talked about some things that happened in the court, whenever Ling Ruo listened quietly on the side, and there was a trace of warmth flowing in the calm, subtle and precious. Yin Zhen was slowly healing the once bloody wound as Ling Ruo had hoped.
From Moyu's mouth, Ling Ruo learned that the most favored person in Baylor Mansion now is Nian Fujin, who just entered the mansion a few years ago, and it can really be said that he is a collection of thousands of favors, and every time she is rewarded, she is the most generous, and Yinzhen stays in Chaoyun Pavilion for the most days. Because Chang Fujin is weak and has to raise his young son, he rarely has the energy to take care of the affairs of the house, so everything is handed over to Nian Fujin, and Li Fujin is on the side to help with it, and no one can reach the limelight for a while.
Does Yinzhen really love Nian? When Ling Ruo stood on the edge of the Pujia Pond, the answer was extremely clear, what Nian got was only pet, far from love, Yinzhen's heart belonged to Mei'er, and other women could only get the word "pet", including her......
A life without love is just a bubble, a small thorn will burst, if you pay your heart in the process, then the only thing waiting for her is to break her bones.
So Ling Ruo swore in his heart that he would ...... forever Never give your heart to Yinzhen!
But can she really control things?
The first month passed away unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye it was the second day of February in the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, the day when the dragon raised its head. The man of the family also shaves the dragon's head, hoping that the dragon will have good luck when it raises its head.
As a rule, there was no needlework on this day, so Ling Ruo had to put aside the half-embroidered sachet, and seeing that the spring was bright and the weather was excellent, he simply took the damp books to the outside with Moyu to dry, and went to get rid of those damp smells, so as to save time for mold.
Ling Ruozheng bent down and carefully smoothed each book and spread it on the shelf, when suddenly it was dark in front of him, and a shadow covered the daylight.
"When did the fourth master come?" Ling Ruo handed the book to Mo Yu and straightened up and asked, after a long time, the two of them were much more casual, and they were no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning.
"Just arrived." Wearing a stone blue embroidered treasure pattern regular clothes, he glanced at the books spread out on the shelf, and found that most of them were books such as scriptures and histories, and said with a little surprise: "Do you like to read these books?" ”
"It's not that I like it, it's just that the concubine only has these books by her side." A few days ago, the Amato people brought these books and a letter, which did not say much, only told her to take care of her life and not worry about the family, but she could guess that Ama and Eniang must be heartbroken by this.
"I have a lot of books in my study, if you like it, you can pick them up and read them." After saying this, Yinzhen himself was stunned for a moment, the study was almost forbidden in the house, except for his personal little dog and Gao Fu, no one was allowed to enter and leave at will, including Fujin.
"Is that really possible?" Ling Ruo had already memorized these books backwards, and now when he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and there was undisguised longing in his eyes.
This kind of joy made Yinzhen, who had some regrets, unable to refuse, and nodded: "Naturally it's true, I'll inform Gao Fu when I go back, and it's up to you to come and go, but you can't touch anything other than those books, especially official documents." ”
"The concubine obeys." Ling Ruo hurriedly agreed, Yinzhen had great trust in letting her enter and leave the study, how could she not know the importance of it.
Yin Zhen nodded, took out an object and handed it to Ling Ruo, "I have already asked someone to repair the wrench, but unfortunately the crack is still there after all." The emerald green jade wrench finger wrapped with a layer of gold edge, extremely warm in the sun, there seems to be water flowing in the emerald green, the only fly in the ointment is the few cracks as thin as hair, but this does not prevent Ling Ruo from liking it, after carefully taking it, it was first put on her thumb, the loose appearance even she laughed when she saw it, and was about to hang it after untying the red gold chain on the neck, Yinzhen took it and said, "I'll help you hang it." ”
Ling Ruoqiao's face flushed, turned her back and let Yinzhen hang it for her, when her hand inadvertently swept over that small piece of crystal snow-like skin, the self-possessed person couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in her heart, this is still something that has never happened before, feeling Ling Ruo's body tremble for a moment, he just removed his hand with some difficulty, "Okay." ”
Ling Ruo replied in a low voice, not daring to raise his head, lest he see his face flushed with embarrassment, his fingers couldn't help but twist the handkerchief, until he was about to twist the handkerchief before squeezing out a sentence, "Fourth Master, are you hungry?" ”
Yin Zhen changed into civilian clothes and came here directly, he hadn't eaten at all, and he didn't feel that he was really hungry when she mentioned it at the moment, "Do you have anything to eat here?" ”
Ling Ruo smiled and said to Mo Yu, "Go to the kitchen and order a bowl of noodles for Lord Belle." ”
Since the last time, Yinzhen resolutely disposed of the gang in the kitchen and reprimanded Gao Fu, the house and the red-topped and white wind have been reined in, and Yinzhen has often come these days, Ling Ruoda has a tendency to become an upstart, and some people even guessed that she might become the second Shufujin in Lanyue after the Ye family. Under such circumstances, those people didn't dare to despise Ling Ruo anymore, but instead thought of ways to curry favor, and it was not difficult to get the next bowl of noodles.
"Is there only one bowl of noodles? I also specially sent you the jade wrench that was repaired, but some of the gains outweighed the losses. Yinzhen was in a rare good mood and joked.
Ling Ruo stroked the jade wrench finger under his hand and smiled: "The fourth master has really wronged the concubine this time, today is the second day of the second month of February, the day when the dragon raises its head, everything eaten on this day in the folk must be in the name of the dragon, for example, eating dumplings is 'eating dragon ears'; eating wontons is 'eating dragon eyes'; the emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and the fourth master is the emperor's son, isn't it disrespectful to the emperor to eat these things?" ”
"Oh, there's another way of saying that?" It's the first time I've heard of it, and I feel fresh, so I understand after a little thought, "So eating noodles is eating dragon whiskers?" Isn't that still disrespectful to the emperor? ”
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "The folk call eating noodles Fulongsu, so this is not disrespectful, so Fourth Master, you can eat boldly with confidence." ”
"What an interesting statement." Yinzhen smiled and turned around and entered the house, after Ling Ruo accompanied her to speak, she saw Mo Yu walking quickly with a vermilion lacquer tray, and after a salute, she brought the noodles to Yinzhen, although she had walked very fast, but this place was far from the kitchen, and the noodles were inevitably a little mushy.
"Fourth master, wait." Ling Ruo took out a small porcelain bottle from the cabinet, and when he opened it, a sweet fragrance came to his nose.
"What is this? It seems to be honey, but there is also the fragrance of osmanthus in it. Yin Zhen asked curiously.
Ling Ruo scooped a small spoonful and mixed well in the noodles, and replied: "This is called osmanthus nectar, take the osmanthus flowers that are blooming in autumn and wash and dry them, then combine them with honey and then seal the lid, they can be opened at any time and eaten, they are fragrant and sweet and the color is also very beautiful." ”
Indeed, the spoonful of golden honey mixed with osmanthus petals looked at the index finger and moved, Yinzhen took a chopstick noodle and put it in his mouth, and suddenly felt sweet and delicious, and the taste was abnormal, and he ate all the bowls of noodles in three or two clicks, and felt a little unsatisfied, took the handkerchief handed by Ling Ruo and wiped his mouth and said: "It's really good, it's really good that you came up with these ideas." ”
"What did the concubine come up with, it was taught by Eniang, and this bottle of honey was brought by the Amato people a few days ago." Speaking of this, her expression darkened slightly, although she soon looked like nothing was going on, but she still couldn't escape Yinzhen's eyes.
"Missing family?" No matter how calm and intelligent she is, she is only sixteen years old, and it is the first time she leaves home, how can she not want to, whenever she dreams back at midnight and finds that she can't go back to the past, she often burst into tears.
She took a long breath and looked at Yinzhen with teary eyes, "If the concubine body says yes, will the fourth master blame the concubine body?" ”
"This is the love of people, so what's the blame." Yin Zhen stroked her weeping face and said softly: "When you are free one day, let your Ama Eniang go to the house and meet you?" ”
"Really?" Hearing this good news, Ling Ruo couldn't believe his ears.
"Nature is true." Yin Zhen stroked her long cloud-like hair, and his expression was gentle that even he hadn't noticed.
"Concubine Xie Fourth Master!" Ling Ruo cried with joy, except for thanks, he didn't know what else to say.
Mo Yu was secretly happy for her own girl, since she entered the house, the girl has never been so happy as now, usually even if she is obviously laughing, she does not consciously contain a trace of sadness in it, I just hope that she can be as happy and happy every day as she is now.
Is your life happy and peaceful? Mo Yu didn't know how extravagant this seemingly simple idea of her was for a woman in the deep mansion compound......
