Chapter 20: Ruyue
Cai Ling thought that she would never see a more restless child than the third brother when she was young in this life, so she went to the house to uncover the tiles, went to the tree to dig out bird eggs, and went down to the river to touch the loaches. Who knew that there was one in front of him, it was her third brother's child - Jiang Moyuan.
Yesterday, I took a homemade slingshot and chased the chickens of the second sister-in-law of Qiu for a few yards, and coaxed, I didn't dare to really send stones to the chicken's brain, but I was reluctant to give up, and chased the chicken of the second sister-in-law of Qiu to the wall, and successfully escaped from the palace.
The second sister-in-law of Qiu lost two chickens and didn't dare to bother Miss Jiang Si, but this demon king Yuan Gongzi went to the backyard of her dining room to catch the ducks, and she was scared, for fear that the little ancestor would drive the ducks to the lotus pond and spoil the scenery that the prince wanted to enjoy. On this day, he came to Cailing to complain. Cai Ling sent away Qiu's second sister-in-law, and knocked twice on her palm with a ring ruler, "I didn't expect that my aunt and I couldn't escape from the palace for a long time, and you let those two chickens get what they wanted!" ”
"Auntie, do you also think that Yuan'er is very powerful!" He held his head high and grinned.
"Humph! Terrible! If you kid dare to harass the dining room again, the ring ruler in my hand will let you know what is really powerful! "Cai Ling is going to hit him.
"Ugh!" Yuan'er's face changed like turning a book, and she immediately cried, "Auntie is going to beat someone again." If it's an aunt, at most tell me a story about not being able to chase animals, usually starting with Xiaobao and the dog, and ending happily together."
"Dare to love, you know it's wrong to chase animals!" Cai Ling laughed angrily, "Don't mention your aunt to me, since you are with your aunt, all the rules must be according to your aunt's." ”
"Bad aunt!" Yuan'er shouted and ran away, "Good aunt, bad aunt......"
The maids wanted to chase after him, but Cai Ling only felt tired, and said to the maid: "It's always right for him to run more in the yard and exercise more for children." Enough introspection, he naturally knows to come back. ”
So he rested for a while, and then opened his eyes, and there was no noisy figure around him, so he called the maid to ask, and then said that he couldn't see the little boy after looking all over the yard.
Cai Ling was also anxious, secretly thinking that this child didn't look like an ice slag heart, how could it be so easy to break, and it was difficult to turn his face and run away from home.
The master and servant were looking for a few people, and the weather in Layue was almost not sweating, when suddenly a voice came from overhead, milky, "Bad aunt, are you willing to come to find my son now?" ”
Also "Ben Gongzi"! Cai Ling couldn't wait to pinch him and beat him fatly. But as soon as he raised his eyes, his legs were weak with fright, and the child did not go up the tree this time, but actually climbed the roof. The height of the house in the palace is not low, the distance between the roof and the ground is several zhang, the eldest husband falls down is a broken leg, if the child falls down, I don't know what will happen, in case of twisting the neck, Cai Ling dare not think down.
"Don't move. I'll go find someone to get you down right away. "Cai Ling is eagerly.
Yuan'er sat leisurely on the tile, "I won't come down." It's time for my aunt to beat me again. ”
"What should I call it?" Cai Ling changed her kind smile, "When did my aunt beat Yuan'er?" ”
"I didn't really fight." Yuan'er complained a little, "But my aunt always scares me with a ring ruler." My aunt said that children can't be scared...... The aunt didn't let Yuan'er mention the aunt. Bad aunt! The last three words are shouted.
"Auntie knows it's wrong." Seeing that he almost slid down because of the strength of his body, Cai Ling hurriedly said. After saying that, she regretted it very much, why did she apologize to the little devil king of the mixed world.
"You stay on the roof for me!" Cai Ling hurriedly instructed the maid to find a family member who knew kung fu.
"It's a great view up there, and I don't want to go down." Yuan'er was stubborn and pointed to the north, "My house is in that direction, and I can see home when I sit here." Daddy and mom, and grandma ......"
Cai Ling understood that the child couldn't find a home at all, he pointed in the wrong direction, but he couldn't bear to expose it, so he only comforted, "When the matter is dealt with, my aunt will take you home, the house is still so lively, they are all there." ”
"Manyun ......" Yuan'er looked into the distance and muttered.
"Good! You like Sister Manyun, let's take her home. Cai Ling said with a smile.
A moment later, the courtyard door was pushed open, and the shadows of the trees were hidden in the clouds, which had not been seen for a month.
The master and servant looked at each other speechlessly, but it seemed like a thousand words, and after a while, Cai Ling had already stepped forward and hugged Manyun.
"How do you feel? Isn't it tiring to walk for so long? If you want to come back, don't bring a letter, I'll pick you up. ”
"Are you still used to eating when you are sick? I don't think you've lost a lot. ”
"What do the doctors say, what should I pay attention to next?" Cai Ling asked non-stop in one breath.
"Fourth girl......" Manyun interrupted gently, "the slave is back well." ”
"It's good!" Cai Ling smiled from ear to ear, but as soon as she moved her gaze from her to her face, her heart felt as if someone had stabbed her. The acne marks on his face were like scarlet iron beads, burning in Cai Ling's heart. Before Manyun's illness, although it could not be called the beauty of the city and the country, it was also beautiful, but now his fair face is covered with purple and red acne marks, which is not only beautiful but also a little crazy. Jiang Taichang's words are still in my ears: Fortunately, Yuan'er is young, this acne is okay, if it is an adult, I am afraid that it will become a pockmark.
Cai Ling hugged her, as if muttering to herself but with great certainty, "Don't worry, I will definitely heal your face." ”
Yuan'er sat alone on the roof and watched this bitter drama, but she didn't understand why her aunt entered the house with Manyun as she spoke. Didn't you persuade him to sit down obediently just now, saying that he would find someone to save him immediately.
In fact, he didn't mean to be naughty about the last roof, but he was angry to climb the tree, but he climbed too high to dare to go down, just the branches were connected to the wall, and there was a ladder next to the wall, he wanted to go down the ladder, but who knew that he was even more afraid when he got on the ladder, and he unconsciously climbed to the roof. Who would put a ladder in the yard and worry that the thief would not know how to climb over the wall? How did he know that it was because his aunt was worried that He Yue would always jump from a height and hurt his muscles and bones, so he specially ordered someone to place it.
At that time, he didn't know who He Yue was. It's just that I'm bored and lying on the roof, and I can't afford to shout: "Auntie, don't you care about Yuan'er?" Aunt...... Help me. ”
It was in the sky that a young man in black clothes, purple hair and a silver face stepped on the snow, and his burly figure flew up and down without being bulky at all, but as light as a swallow, rushing on the blue bricks and gray tiles.
The hero in his heart is as fearless as his uncle, but his uncle is too serious when dealing with government affairs, and he can only watch from a distance and cannot play with him. But the man in front of him made him want to be close to him, and he didn't know that this was fate.
Suddenly, the man walked straight to the roof where he was, and stood on the crossbar and looked at him condescendingly.
Yuan'er only asked: "Are you the master in the palace that my aunt sent someone to find?" ”
"The master is right." He Yue stared at the chief horn child in front of him and felt a little kind, "It's just that I'm not from the palace." ”
At this time, Cai Ling thought of Yuan'er, who was still sitting on the roof, the snowy roof was very slippery, and now I don't know if she had fallen and screamed. When Cai Ling rushed out of the house, he saw a large and a small sitting in one place, looking into the distance. Yuan'er said, "I have never stepped out of the capital, what about you, where is the farthest place you have been?" ”
"Northland." He Yue replied.
The immature voice already carried a lot of admiration, "Is the northern country cold? Does it snow too? ”
"The Frozen Lands. The snow here is shallow, and you can't go out in the winter in the north. He Yue looked at Yuan'er.
"I'll want to go to the north in the future." Yuan'er actually has such a vision, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, Cai Ling is pleased, but this time he only said to He Yue: "Catch that kid for me!" ”
When he boarded, two figures, one big and one small, jumped off the roof without hurrying, Cai Ling hurriedly went to check Yuan'er's body, but heard the kid screaming excitedly, "How did you fly down!" Why did I fall to the ground without feeling anything? ”
Cai Ling went to pull him, but he just hung on He Yue and didn't let go, "You said that you are not my uncle's person, so who are you?" ”
Before He Yue could answer, Cai Ling said impatiently, "Auntie's people! The child asked so much what to do, and he didn't hurry back to the house. ”
"What's your name?" Although Yuan'er was being dragged away by the maids, she still didn't give up.
When he was about to be dragged into the house, He Yue replied, "Jiang Heyue." ”
Cai Ling looked at Yuan'er, who was struggling under the drag of the two maids, and couldn't wait to rush out of the house again, and frowned, "This child is really difficult to discipline!" I don't know how my third brother dealt with him in the past. ”
"It's cute for a child." He Yue's silver mask covered his face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his tone was extremely peaceful.
Cai Ling suddenly felt that his voice was a little different, and quickly reached out to uncover his mask, and saw a dark face with dark eyes and nose, she was a little distressed and put the mask back on for him, "Changed your identity to investigate and fight with people, right?" How is the other party hurting? ”
"More than a dozen people couldn't stand up." He Yue said in a low voice.
"Everything is a trivial matter if it doesn't matter about life and death, and you don't have to work hard. Why do you want to do this? Cai Ling sat at the white jade table in the courtyard, and pointed to the round stool for him to sit down as well.
After He Yue sat down, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Cai Ling, "This is Ru Yuezhai's account book, my sister may be able to use it." ”
"Ru Yue Zhai? That study? Cai Ling took the account book, glanced at the little blood stains on the meeting, and couldn't help but glance at He Yue again. They have long known that Ru Yue Zhai is a black shop that sells ancient books to people who have fled from the north to apply for household registration at a high price. Thinking of this, Cai Ling carefully flipped through the first and last pages again, and made sure that this account book was only this year, so she said, "What's so special?" ”
"The eighteenth month of the chrysanthemum, two hundred taels of silver in Yangzhou prefect Chen." He Yue is already familiar with the account book.
"On the third day of the first month of winter, five hundred taels of gold were given to the Chen family, the prefect of Yangzhou." He Yue continued to backslide.
Chen, the prefect of Yangzhou, is Biluo's new father. Cai Ling's face was calm, Biluo really forged her identity, but the prefect of Yangzhou was holding the court's money on the one hand and doing this deceitful act on the other, which was really despicable. Of course, he won't know Biluo's true identity, but for the sake of money, he dares to pave the way for a woman he doesn't know, so that she can fly to the branches and become a phoenix with the glory of her family, and at that time, he can also enjoy infinite glory.
How many such people are there in this court?
"The plum month, the durian month, and the summer month, each month are all two hundred taels of silver for the household member Wailang Tang's pattern, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, Juyue, and early winter March are the same as above." Heyue continued.
"What about Tobe Shangshu?" Cai Ling closed her eyes.
"It's not recorded in the ledger."
Maybe it doesn't have to do with it. Cai Ling slowly opened her eyes, put away the account book, Fang smiled and looked at He Yue and said, "Good Yueyue, now whether I can leave the Qin Wangfu smoothly depends on this bribery account!" ”
Immediately, Cai Ling went back to the house and took out a small bag and threw it to He Yue, "You can take this gold for self-defense." ”
