Chapter 42: An Unexpected Visitor
It seemed to be the first time since she returned to the palace that she had sat with him on an equal footing, so close that she could even hear each other's heartbeats, and it was also the first time that he did not call himself a 'minion' in front of him. Nuan Jin was both excited and distressed, she seemed to understand at once, maybe she was emotional, maybe she could promote people's growth, she could understand his helplessness and pain at once.
It's not that he doesn't like himself, nor does he want to be with her, but he is forced by the disparity in status, so he can't and can't.
Her Cen Run's difficulty is really soft. Nuan Jin took a breath, smiled and said that he was tired, Cen Run didn't stay any longer, got up and knelt down and retreated.
The rain outside is gradually slowing down, and the fine hairy raindrops don't hurt or itch on the body. Cen Run walked alone on the official road, probably because of the heavy rain before, so the Bihua Palace was very clean, there was no master walking outside, and even the eunuchs and palace maids were reluctant to go out in such weather. He held a closed umbrella in his hand, and let the raindrops fall on him so unscrupulously.
"I thought it would be different for you to take her."
A man's voice suddenly sounded behind him, Cen Run didn't look back, just stopped, and the smile on the corner of his lips disappeared.
"Who allowed you to come back?" Cen Run's voice was cold, without the slightest emotion.
"It's sad that you didn't speak to her in that tone just now." The man spoke in a flirtatious tone, but he did not show up the whole time.
"You're all the way to talk to me about this?"
The man sneered: "I'll come back and take a look, I'm afraid that someone will stay in the comfort nest for a long time and forget their duty." ”
"Just take care of yourself." Cen Run didn't bother to deal with the man, and continued to walk forward, he heard a slight noise in the forest beside him, and knew that the man was following him.
"It's really unfair, you eat and drink well here, and you can come here with your master to escape the summer, Lao Tzu wants to go to the place where the bird doesn't poop and suffer that crime."
"Didn't you choose it yourself?" Cen Run's eyes were cold, like ten thousand years of frost condensed between his eyebrows.
The man smiled: "Yes, yes, I admit it, it's a little bitter, but at least it's a man." ”
Cen Run completely ignored the man's taunt and continued to walk forward: "If it's okay, go back quickly." ”
"Yo? Angry? Just kidding! I'm just coming back to inform you, and I'm going to go back to the court. Please also ask the chief manager to take care of his thoughts, if you are just to use her, I will naturally have nothing to say, but if it is not for ......" the man lowered his voice, "Don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, besides, do you think he can still treat you as before after what you have done?" Don't forget, when the truth is revealed, she will be the first to kill you! ”
There was no movement behind him, Cen Run didn't turn back from beginning to end, he just walked in the rain like that, slowly stopped, alone, and his heart sank to the deepest part.
The joy and excitement in his heart just now seemed to be all extinguished by this sudden person, and he couldn't move, as if there was an abyss in front of him, and only one step would be a catastrophe.
But what about behind you? There has been no way back for a long time.
"The Grand Steward?" An umbrella was propped up overhead, Cen Run looked sideways, and saw that it was Wanyin, and somehow felt a little lost in his heart.
She was holding an umbrella on her tiptoes with some effort, and a pair of eyes that did not hide her concern and worry were looking at her: "Why are you standing here, why don't you hold an umbrella?" If you are sick, how can you be good? If we are slaves, our lives are not our own, our bodies are not our own, and if we are sick, our masters will not care. ”
Cen Run smiled and said, "It's saved." Hearing Wanyin's heart, he rarely answered himself like this, with fireworks, just like Lang Jun is going out, and his wife always has to chatter.
Thinking of this, Wanyin blushed, for fear that Cen Run would see something, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Why are you here?"
"The queen mother got a new tribute peach, and ordered it to be sent to all the ladies to taste it, this errand has just been completed."
"Hmm." Cen Run nodded, took the umbrella, and walked forward.
Wanyin followed aside, the two of them held an umbrella together, and slowly walked back in the rain, even this kind of inadvertent little thing, it can make Wanyin happy for a long time, she was nervous and excited, wanted to see him, and was afraid that she was too active, I just hoped that there was no end to this journey, and she could grow old with him.
Cen Run walked for a while, Nuan Jin was still sitting on the couch, she was actually a little tired, but she didn't want to fall asleep. The words and eyes of Cen Run just now were repeated in his mind.
"Master? It's getting dark, would you like to eat now? The door was gently pushed open by Tao Tao from the outside, and she only showed half of her head, looking at Nuan Jin cautiously.
"It's so late?" Nuan Jin moved his neck, "It's okay if you don't mention it, I said that I'm really hungry, let's pass the meal." ”
"Gotcha!" Tao Tao smiled, and immediately beckoned a group of little eunuchs to start the meal.
Nuan Jin sat in the hat chair, looked at a table full of meals, and beckoned Tao Tao: "Let's sit down and eat together." ”
Tao Tao was taken aback: "Good master, do you think that slaves and maids have a long life?" The slave knows that you treat me well, but the slave and maid don't dare to do this unruly. ”
Nuan Jin smiled and was no longer reluctant, and ate by herself: "Has my brother sent someone to call me?" ”
"Nobody came."
Nuan Jin nodded, and Tao Tao saw that her face was good, so he dared to ask: "Master, what did you say to the chief manager just now?" The chief manager didn't even hold an umbrella when he left, so he went back in the rain. ”
"Really?" Nuan Jin paused, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to normal, "I don't know if I will get sick in the rain, I didn't lose my honor in front of the emperor, and I was reprimanded by my father again." ”
"You better worry less about him, the chief manager of a gentleman's house, with rough skin and thick flesh, can't get sick after a long shower, but you, when you come back, the rain is so heavy, I don't know if you will catch a cold."
"Don't worry, Hongu is fine!"
Tao Tao served a bowl of soup for Nuan Jin: "Then you ...... with him in the end"
Nuan Jin knew what Tao Tao wanted to ask: "There is no result, the matter between the two of us is difficult to do, it can't be solved in a day or two, after all, there is an identity constraint, I'm not afraid of myself, or I'm afraid that one will accidentally affect him again." ”
"And how is this good?" The road ahead is bumpy, and Tao Tao feels hopeless when he thinks about it.
"We still have to start with my brother, and with his support, we can at least have two or three percent certainty."
"Huh? This is only two or three percent? Tao Tao's little face fell, and then he looked at Nuan Jin with a little suspicion, "Master, are you ...... today?" Eating a little too much? ”
Nuan Jin stuffed another lotus root osmanthus cake into the entrance, and said vaguely: "It's a little more to eat, because since Ming'er, my father-in-law is going on a hunger strike!" ”
