Chapter 22: Parting

Shui Xiu and the others were very curious, who was this newcomer Gege, who first lived in Jingsi Ju as Gege, and then was rewarded by all the blessings, which was really a big face.

After everything was cleaned up, it was already nightfall, Ling Ruo had dinner under the service of Shui Xiu and Shui Yue, and sat for a while only to see Xiao Luzi rub his hands and walk in and said laboriously: "Auntie...... Girl, you're ...... early Early...... Earlier...... Some rest, the minions are in the ...... Out...... Outside, you have everything to do...... Despite the call ...... Call the minions, keep ...... Guaranteed ...... I'll be there soon. "Tonight, he and Shui Yue are on duty, one of the two is responsible for guarding the courtyard, and the other is responsible for taking care of Ling Ruo's daily life at night.

There was no such rule in Lanyue Residence before, but now that living alone can no longer be as casual as before, Ling Ruo put down the almond tea that he had drunk half of it and thought about it and said to Moyu: "Go and get an old quilt." Then Wen Yan said to Xiao Luzi: "Although it is close to spring at this time, the spring is cold, and it is still extremely cold at night and it is easy to freeze and get sick, so you wrap it in a quilt, it will be better." ”

As he spoke, Mo Yu had already taken a half-worn thick quilt and handed it to Xiao Luzi, who was still in a daze, and saw that he didn't answer the urging and said, "It's very heavy, don't take it quickly." ”

Xiao Luzi just woke up like a dream to take the quilt, before coming to Jing Siju, he had been an errand under several masters, because of the reason for stammering, I don't know how many white eyes, each of them was to him is called and drunk, never give a good face, sometimes speak slower and be scolded and beaten, I don't know how many injuries he suffered, if it weren't for the cleverness of a little Changzi who does things, often help to say good things, he may not be able to survive now. I finally had to keep the errand of Siju for two years, but I didn't expect the master to come so soon, although he was just a character, but looking at today's frame, he should not be despised by himself. He was very afraid that this girl would be like those previous masters, who would stammer, think that he was not good at speaking, either expelled him from the court, or scolded him, and he was trembling all day long, and tried not to say anything if he could. I thought that the girl didn't have herself in her eyes at all, but I never thought that she not only remembered but also cared about him, thinking of this, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes and shed tears, and quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve and choked up: "Xie Lu Xie girl, Xie Lu Xie girl." ”

Xiao Changzi has known him for several years, and his feelings are the deepest, and he can best understand his mood at the moment, knowing that he is honest and honest only has a problem with a stammer, and he has suffered a lot for this, except for him, no one has ever treated Xiao Luzi well, this is the first time, no wonder he is so excited.

Ling Ruo stood up, stepped over the smooth bluestone bricks like a mirror and walked in front of Xiao Luzi, looked at him deeply and said, "I don't care if you stutter or not, I only care if you are loyal to me, as long as you do things well, I will not treat you badly." ”

"Slave...... Slave...... It must be ...... Must ......" Her words made Xiao Luzi very excited, the more excited he was, the more speechless he became, so anxious that he was sweating, Moyu couldn't look at it and said for him: "Okay, okay, I know that you will definitely be loyal and brave and serve the girl." Don't be in a hurry if you have something to say in the future, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to say it if you're tired. ”

Xiao Luzi smiled embarrassedly, took the quilt and walked out, and the other three looked at Ling Ruo's gaze and changed, the original resistance to the new master was slowly disappearing, perhaps, this master is worth waiting for them to follow.

"You all go out of the city, Moyu too, I want to be alone and quiet." Ling Ruo sat back in the chair, closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows, and waved her hand a little tiredly, she was busy dealing with all the people sent by Fujin to reward her all day today, and she hardly stopped to rest, but now when she calmed down, she only felt sore, and she didn't even want to say more.

After being silent for less than a moment, he heard footsteps coming in, and Ling Ruo closed his eyes and said with a little displeasure: "Didn't I say don't come in?" Retire! ”

After waiting for a long time and never seeing anyone retreat, Ling Ruo became more and more displeased, who was so ignorant of the rules, opened his eyes and was about to be reprimanded, he never thought that he would see Yinzhen with a calm face, so she jumped up on the spot, and hurriedly stood up straight and threw the handkerchief and saluted, "The concubine doesn't know that the fourth master has arrived, and if there is rudeness, please ask the fourth master to punish the crime." ”

"Those who don't know are not to blame, get up." A slightly cool male voice sounded in Ling Ruo's ears, but his eyes were down, but he could see the pair of dark mille-feuille boots stopped in front of him.

Ling Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, ordered Shui Yue to make tea and serve it to Yinzhen herself, and said with a hint of joke: "The concubine doesn't understand the unpredictable prophet, and she doesn't know that the fourth master will come over so late, so she doesn't prepare anything else, so she can only invite the fourth master to drink tea." ”

"I just came back from the thirteenth child, and I heard Gao Fu say that you have moved in with clean up, so I thought about coming to see, how about it, do you still like it?" Yin Zhen took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"The fourth master is generously rewarded, and the concubine naturally likes it, but he lives alone in a courtyard as a concubine, for fear that it will attract criticism." At this time, a small slit opened in the south window, and the night breeze came slowly, stirring the corners of the clothes of the two people and the topaz orchid in the amphora vase under the window, like butterflies looking for flowers.

Yin Zhen waved his hand and said: "It's just a little thing, what's not to blame, not to mention that Huang Ama once said that I should treat you well, according to my intentions, I should have sealed you a Fu Jin, so it is more justifiable to live in Jingsiju, but a few days ago, it is not appropriate to seal the Ye family again, so I have to wait for a chance in the future." ”

"Yes." Ling Ruo was slightly moved in her heart, but Kangxi remembered her as a person, and specially asked the fourth elder brother to treat her kindly, which is very rare for an emperor. Just thinking about it, she suddenly raised her chin with one hand, and Yinzhen looked at her with a rare expression that seemed to be smiling and said, "What about you, my Gege, are you ready?" ”

Here it comes! Ling Ruo's heart beat violently because of these words, and his face quickly turned red very uncontrollably, even the roots of his ears were hot, and he said in a voice like a mosquito: "Concubine...... The concubine body is ready. "If there was a hole in the ground, she would have liked to get into it, and she had never said such a shameful thing in her life.

Her expression like a strong man's broken wrist made Yinzhen embarrassed, let go of her hand and said, "I'm just talking casually, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Ling Ruo didn't know how much courage it took to say what she said just now, but she didn't expect Yinzhen to be joking, and she was suddenly ashamed and angry, mixed with a little disappointment that she didn't understand, don't turn around and stop paying attention to him.

The little daughter's shy posture was stunned, and the wind blew away his long hair, blinding him, so that he couldn't tell who was standing in front of him for a moment.

How nice it would be if you were Mei'er......

sighed silently in the bottom of her heart, and despite the opposition, she took her weak and boneless hand to stand still in the courtyard, and looked up, the starry sky was as deep and vast as ever, and she couldn't see where the edge was with all her eyes.

"Tomorrow, I and the thirteenth brother will accompany Huang Ama out of Beijing for a tour, and I will not be in the capital for a long time, so I will wait until I come back to talk about the matter of letting Ama Eniang enter the mansion." He looked at the starry sky and said lightly.

"The concubine is not in a hurry, but the fourth master is outside alone, be careful of everything." I don't know why when I heard that Yinzhen was leaving, my heart trembled slightly, and I felt a little reluctant.

"I will." Yin Zhen bowed her head, and her indifferent eyes showed a little warmth, "If you have anything, you can go to Nian's family, now she is taking care of everything in the house, and it is also in order, as for Yan Fujin's side, she has never been in good health and has to discipline Honghui, and her spirit is inevitably poor, you just need to go over and ask for peace." ”

"The concubine knows the way." Ling Ruo replied meekly, in order to hide the turbulence in his heart, is the Nian clan already in charge of the mansion? It's only been a few days since she came to the mansion, and she has already stabilized the Li family, who is much older than her, which is really a good means.

Yin Zhen nodded and said, "It's late, you can rest early, I should leave too." ”

"Fourth Master, you wait." Ling Ruo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a triangular yellow talisman from the house after calling Yinzhen, "This is a talisman sent by the Amato people a few days ago, saying that they went to the temple to ask for it, but it can keep people safe, the fourth master is far away from the south, I don't know when to turn around, take it with me." ”

Yin Zhen never believed in these things, but staring at her sincere and concerned gaze, he couldn't say anything if he refused, silently put the talisman into his arms, and suddenly remembered that it seemed that many years ago, there was also a woman with a gentle smile who hung a triangular charm made of yellow silk threads around his neck.

Since she left, no one has cared about him, even if his status is noble, no one cares about him......
