Chapter 25: Snow Lotus

Two days later, in front of the big elm table in the center of the hall, Cai Ling pulled Tao Tao to talk about his thoughts.

Tao Tao leaned back: "Ben Shao will have to go to Peach Blossom Valley again later, according to Ben Shao's recent observation, I'm afraid Doctor Yu is not uninvited, but I need to show some sincerity." “

Cai Ling knew that Yu Moyan was just a request from her, but the most difficult thing in this world was human affection, and she was still thinking about whether she could think of a way to let him get out of the deep court if she brought him into the deep court.

She didn't want him to force herself to leave Peach Blossom Valley in order to repay her kindness, and besides, the trivial things she did were really not a lot of kindness, and she didn't need him to reciprocate, so the matter was put on hold for a few days.

If Tao Tao can invite him out of the mountain, it will be different, it is a lobbying between courtiers and courtiers, and it has nothing to do with personal friendship. She wished he had tried.

"It's still early, don't rush it." She placed a new cup of tea in front of him.

"For the sake of making less tea with your own hands, I'll leave it for a while longer." Tao Tao crossed his legs, "Say it." What is it that makes you depressed that you want Ben Shao to enlighten you? ”

She glanced at him, suddenly felt that she was not sincere enough, and changed her gentle expression: "Have you ever felt guilty?" “

Tao Tao slapped the outside of his thigh: "Ben Shao knows that you are not a hard-hearted person." It's because I can't bear to see her wash her face with tears all day long, right? At dinner yesterday, I rarely saw you not talking and refused to eat the fish that your brother-in-law gave you, so I knew that you felt uncomfortable! Ben Shao wanted to comfort you at that time, but after the meal, his brother-in-law took you to the city for a walk, and Ben Shao didn't have a chance to talk to you for a while. “

Since Liang Mingyue diagnosed the happy pulse, although Shen Muchi was still kind to her, he never set foot in her door again. Yesterday's dinner, she only ate two bites, holding her forehead and saying that she was dizzy, Shen Muchi instructed the accompanying imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it immediately, but she didn't care for it again.

After coming back from the walk, Cai Ling passed by Mingyue's room, saw that the candle flame was faintly bright, and Yiren held a brocade handkerchief in the window to wash his face with tears.

She lay on the bed and tossed and turned, accidentally kicked the person next to her twice, and he asked her if she had anything on her mind, and she only said that she had a strange dream.

I couldn't hold it back in the morning, so I had to pull my 'girlfriend' to have a good chat.

"In fact, Ben Shao's emotional experience is not too rich, thanks to the quiet Hongfu, there are few women in the capital who dare to make friends with Ben Shao. But Ben Shao thinks it's not right for you to do this, it seems that you are too obsessed with your current identity, and you have forgotten that she is the master. That's all you and I are! He used his fingers to compare four and six respectively, representing their official positions.

"If you don't know how to restrain and are pampered and arrogant, Ben Shao is very worried about your future." Tao Tao frowned slightly, "Although Ben Shao is not afraid of being implicated by you outside, but are you yourself?" Aren't you afraid of being put in shoes?"

"She's not like that." Cai Ling was very resolute, "However, you are right, I'm afraid I'm really in a dream, and I'm not very awake." ”

Cai Ling was still in a flash of melancholy, and Tao Tao touched her elbow on the table. As he looked at it in surprise, in the snowy courtyard, two women with similar figures, each wearing an identical Xuanhu big coat, stood opposite each other, looking at each other in pairs.

Cai Ling supported his forehead, in the end, he was negligent, and forgot to tell Chu Ci not to wear the Xuanhu Daqi in front of Mingyue.

She was just about to call the two of them over, but she saw another person standing in the courtyard, with a long body and a graceful demeanor, it was Shen Muchi.

She and Tao Tao looked at the three graceful people in the courtyard, as if they were watching a tragic scene, and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Young master." Mingyue curtsied.

"Jiang Gongzi." Chu Ci, who was like Mingyue's twin sisters, also bent her knees slightly, staring straight at the man in front of her with a pair of big black eyes, smiling and looking forward to it.

"You ......" Shen Muchi raised his hand, there was a moment of surprise, and then he glanced at the two people in the house, he already knew a little in his heart, and said to Mingyue: "It's windy outside the house, go in quickly." “

When several people entered the house, Cai Ling held the teacup high, eager to cover her whole face.

Tao Tao made a gesture, threw the teacup and ran out, "Little brother went to Peach Blossom Valley, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for lunch." “

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to pull Chu Ci, who was at the door, and asked, "Miss Zhao is also going with me?" “

"Ogawa is still in the room. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, so Song Gongzi will go by himself. Although he answered his words, the person with a pair of beautiful eyes was Shen Muchi.

Tao Tao left in a huff.

"Sister Ling, doesn't she dislike the clothes given by her sister?" Liang Mingyue asked with tears in her eyes.

"I ......" Cai Ling put away the teacup slightly, revealing one eye to look at her, and saw that her bright big eyes were shining with tears, like the sparkling waves of the morning sun on Mingyue Lake. Oh, no, in order to avoid the name of the virtuous concubine, the Mingyue Lake she loves is now called Chengying Lake.

"Your sister Ling has dark skin, and she can't wear red." Shen Muchi took Cailing's teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

Cai Ling strokes her face with the back of her hand, and her skin is dark? Her skin is white and red, and it can be broken by blowing.

couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, and the other party only looked at her with a smile.

This glance annoyed Liang Mingyue, who was very emotionally unstable in the early stages of pregnancy, and tears fell down from her snow-white face, and in an instant, she had raised her sleeves to cover half of her tearful face, and bent her knees in the direction of Shen Muchi: "The concubine is rude, let's go back to the house." “

"Hmm." Shen Muchi's face was expressionless, and he only replied.

Cai Ling stared at him coldly, he has always been good at hiding himself, although his face is the same, but there is a little pity in his eyes, how can he be indifferent to the people who live with him so sadly?

At the end, Cai Ling touched Shen Muchi's elbow, her eyes stayed on Liang Mingyue, who was still standing in place, and said softly: "Go and coax." “

He glanced at her with a little surprise, and in an instant he showed a look of appreciation, and said to the delicate and incomparable woman: "You are also bored to be locked in your room all day, why don't you go to the city for a walk?" “

"Thank you, young master......" The stunning woman with bright eyes and bright teeth raised her head and smiled, and two tears still slipped down her face.

Looking at the two pleasing backs walking out of the hall and into the heavy snow in the courtyard, the maid hurriedly held up an oil-paper umbrella, and Shen Muchi took it over to shield the people beside him from the falling snow.

"Why is Madame laughing?" Chutz, who was standing aside, asked in a deep voice.

Miss Zhao smiled. She hurriedly hid the mist in her eyes, and only kept a smile, "The situation in the house is too complicated, I can't find it anymore, I hope the girl can find a wishful husband and a couple with her for the rest of her life." “

"each other? It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. Chutz sat beside her, staring at her with dark eyes.

"A couple for a lifetime? How boring that would be! I just want to find the best man in the world, and I don't care if he marries a wife and has children. My brother-in-law is very good, but he is twelve years older than me, and he only has a dead sister in his heart, and he is unattainable. If Madame does not dislike it, Chu Ci is willing to serve Jiang Gongzi and be worthy of Madame and your sister. ”

"Miss Zhao...... You ......" Cai Ling couldn't cry or laugh.

"Big sister!" Tao Tao shouted loudly at the gate of the mansion, she let go of Chu Ci's hand and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.

Tao Tao's strong body flashed slightly, and Yu Moyan, who was carrying a small bamboo basket, was gently bowing his head towards her.

At this time, Shen Muchi and Liang Mingyue had not yet walked out of the courtyard, Cai Ling hurriedly trotted past them, and looked at the tall and thin man at the gate of the mansion without squinting, "Brother Yu has come to visit Xiaochuan?" ”

"She's here, and I'm relieved." Yu Moyan shook his head, saw the snow falling on her head, stretched out the oil-paper umbrella he was carrying and blocked it above her head, and said softly: "I'll come to see you." “

"Look at me?"

"The prescriptions prescribed a few days ago have all been taken on time, have you taken them on time?" He asked.

"Hmm. Twice a day, in the morning and evening, the medicine was very bitter, but I drank not a single drop left. Faced with such a well-behaved Cai Ling, Tao Tao's eyes widened in shock.

"Hmm. That's it......" Yu Mo said, the ice cube on a big tree next to him just smashed on the back of Tao Tao's neck, and he shivered again and again.

These two people are stunned! He said in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "It's windy outside, Mr. Yu, please inside." ”

"Yes, Brother Yu. Come and sit down. Cai Ling hurriedly took the small bamboo basket in his hand.

When the three of them passed by Shen Muchi's side, Tao Tao stopped and bowed his body imperceptibly, and Yu Moyan arched his hand: "Jiang Gongzi? “

"Mr. Yu." Shen Muchi also returned the salute.

"Brother Yu, come into the house." Cai Ling made a gesture of invitation, and winked at Shen Muchi, meaning that she is the best at taking care of distinguished guests, so she doesn't have to worry about it, go out and hang out.

But the other party only gave her a cold look, and a pair of cold eyes with thin anger gradually dimmed, and quickly turned his eyes and strode out of the mansion with his head held high.

After introducing Yu Moyan into the hall, she hurriedly went to make a new pot of tea, and went to get refreshments, and was busy for a while, and when she returned to the house, she saw Tao Tao happily chatting with her.

"Brother Yu, please drink tea."

She handed him a cup of tea and bright Longjing, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he had already raised his hand in the direction of her wrist, and after a moment of crampedness, she smiled and put her right wrist on the elm table.

He glanced at her with satisfaction and quietly took his pulse.

After a while, he prescribed a new prescription for her, pointed to the bamboo basket and said, "These Hei Si Ming, Deer Fetus, and Snow Lotus are not available in the pharmacy, so I brought them to you." ”

Cai Ling tried her best to keep her composure, but Tao Tao stood up, staring at the bamboo basket with a pair of eyes: "But the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain? “

Yu Moyan only smiled slightly, Cai Ling was already full of gratitude, and hurriedly moved a bench to sit next to him: "Brother Yu is willing to heal my old disease, I am already grateful, how can I accept such a valuable thing?" ”

"Do you still want to cure old diseases?" He only asked.

"Yes." She thought for a moment and answered honestly.

"Then grab the medicine according to the prescription, take the medicine on time, and don't think about the rest."

Then, Yu Moyan stood up to visit Xiaochuan, and she hurriedly led the way.

At the end, she hesitated and asked the miracle doctor, "Why is Brother Yu so good to me?" “

The other party was silent, and she began to chatter: "I've said it many times, and I was also selfish to save you that time, for fear that your accident would affect my painting business." You're such a smart person, you should understand. “

"If you want to sell a painting, I can paint one for you at any time." He joked.

"That's not what I meant." She was a little anxious, and thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to return the favor if you want to." I used to owe others a white and flawless face, if Brother Yu can help me but this wish, it will be all repaid, but the silver can not be less than half a tael. ”

"Bring people to Peach Blossom Valley another day." As he spoke, he had already stepped out of the house.

"That's a pockmark from smallpox." She shouted.

"It's not difficult. But it will take some time. The other man did not look back, but jumped on his horse.

She watched her handsome and thin figure gradually disappear into the alley, and couldn't help laughing anymore, and happily turned around on the snow at the entrance of the house, and the one who owed Manyun could finally pay it back.

At this moment, a small pebble just landed on her calf, and she quickly raised her eyes to see the person who was worried under the criss-crossing plum blossom lamp.

"Brother Yuan......" She ran to the man happily.

"Young Master......" Yuan Jie led a black horse, stood on the side of the long and cramped alley, and lowered his head slightly to remove the snow from her forehead and hair.

"Why did Brother Yuan come to Huaiyuan County?" Shouldn't his mine be in Yongzhou?

"My subordinates are just passing through here, and I'm here to see you." Yuan Jieyi glanced away, avoiding her gaze.

She smiled: "Then go into the house quickly, stay a few more days and then leave." “

Only then did he take a deep look at her, smiled and shook his head, "The affairs of the mine are complicated, I have to go back, and I will return immediately." ”

"Can't you even have lunch?"

Cai Ling was very disappointed, why did they all come to see her today, but they couldn't stay with her for lunch, she was the only one who counted them, but Tao Tao always looked at Miss Chuci and smirked.

"There will be opportunities in the future." He buried his head.

"What do you mean by that?"

If Yu Moyan cures Manyun, then the kindness of the two of them will be clear, and then she will let Tao Tao persuade Mo Yan again, if the task is completed, they will leave for Chang'an in a few days, and then the palace is deep, and the five-year period is not yet complete, how can she get out of the whole body?

"The young master will know in the future."

With that, he took out an ebony plum hairpin from his chest and put it in a bun for her.

The hairpin was the token that she sent out of the palace that day to represent all her stability, and he kept it.

She raised her hand and touched the plum blossoms engraved on the tail of the hairpin, and smiled deeply: "I hope everything is as you and I wish." “

When I waved goodbye, I couldn't help but feel very sad.

Two horseshoe prints were left on the snow-white ground, stretching to the other end of the alley.

She sat on the steps at the entrance of the house and looked thoughtfully at the snow, gradually forgetting the time, and when she looked up again, she suddenly felt blurred vision, pain in her eyes, and a foreign object.

She laughed at herself, the snow blindness she had been avoiding, I was afraid that she couldn't avoid it.

She closed her eyes and heard Tao Tao calling her in the courtyard, and then opened her eyes and saw a pair of beautiful people walking back from the alley in a vague way.

The long, slender man hesitated slightly, and in an instant he had already walked quickly.

She stood up with her grip on the door frame, turned around and stepped into the courtyard, Tao Tao happened to walk up to her, and shouted, "You are just going to see off a guest, why is it delayed for so long?" Ben Shao thought you were going back to Peach Blossom Valley with him. “

She raised her hand to hold Tao Tao's arm, and said with a reluctant smile: "Ben Shao is stupid again, and he accidentally suffered from snow blindness." Help me back to the house, it's not a shameful thing, don't tell anyone about it. “

"It doesn't matter." Tao Tao patted her hand on his arm, "The snow lotus flower you sent by Brother Yu just came in handy." “

A bitter smile tugged at her lips, and she only quickened her pace past the courtyard.
