Chapter 47: The Last Resort
Spring is rainy, and the first few days are sunny.
It rained for a day and a night, and Chun Tao came back from walking outside, collected an oil umbrella under the porch, and stomped the water on the side of his shoes to the dry place before pushing the door into the house.
"Girl, the treasury has exactly what you want," she put the soft cloth lining her wrist guards on the incense table, and continued, "When I came back, I passed by the front yard and saw the doctor of Jiu'an Hall coming out of the courtyard of the Hou Ye. “
"Not adapted?" Yun Xiu stopped the embroidery work in his hand and raised his eyes to look over, "Wasn't it okay to watch the play before." Why is this not adaptable? “
Chun Tao said: "It may have something to do with the rainy day. “
After being reminded of this, she pushed open the window and looked at the gray sky, as if thinking something.
"Chun Tao," Yun Xiu said, "I remember that there is a bottle of anti-itch ointment in the cabinet, which is for the treatment of eczema, you find it and send it to the front yard, not to mention it." Just tell the entourage how to use it and prepare it for the Hou Ye. “
Chun Tao took the order and found medicine to go out.
Because she was afraid of the guards with angry faces, she stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not dare to enter.
"Hey, isn't that a spring peach?" Xiao Wu, who held an umbrella for Yun Zimo, recognized her.
Yun Zimo followed the prestige: "It's really Chun Tao, what is she doing in the front yard?" “
Another person standing under the umbrella chuckled: "It's your mansion girl, why not walk around." “
"Brother Xie doesn't know." Yun Zimo explained honestly, "It doesn't matter if you change your weekdays, right now this guest room is occupied by Zhongyi Hou, and my father is afraid that we will provoke Hou Ye, so he specially told him not to approach." “
As he spoke, he muttered again: "I said that I wouldn't let me get close, Chun Tao is so bold." “
Xie Zongren smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes: "Maybe the eighth sister doesn't know about Ling Zun's ban at all." “
I can't wait to make a difference.
Yun Yushi's trick to sell his daughter, both inside and face, is really high.
"It's Chun Tao bold, what's the matter with Sister Guanba." Yun Zimo felt that it was impossible, "Brother Xie, things can be eaten indiscriminately, words can't be said indiscriminately, the eighth sister has always been the most obedient, and she will not disobey the will of the elders." “
"That's my misunderstanding." Xie Zongren smiled at Yun Zimo, "Go to Wen Shu, do you want to understand the homework assigned by Mr. today?" “
Yun Zimo said that he had no clue.
Xie Zongren still smiled gently, but Yu Guang paid attention to the whereabouts of Chun Tao.
After noon, the house was dark, Chun Tao polished the fire folds and lit the oil lamp, resting it on Yun Xiu's hand, and was about to persuade her to pay attention to her eyes, when someone outside the house called "Eight Girls".
Yun Xiu leaned out of the window, "Who is it?" “
The messenger girl smiled and looked over: "Girl, the proprietress of the leather shop is waiting for you at the side door, saying that she was busy making a mistake that day, and I want to ask the girl to confirm." “
Chun Tao felt strange: "It's the shopkeeper's business to make the wrong account, how to find our girl's head." “
The little girl replied with a smile: "Sister, don't be angry at me, I'll leave when I come to pass a word, the eighth girl won't go, I'll go back." “
"Wait." Yun Xiu always felt that something was wrong, from hearing the words "leather shop", he had an ominous premonition in his heart, "Don't go back, I'll go over now, which side door is it." “
The little girl said the west door.
Yun Xiu took a copper plate and sent people away, and went out alone with an oil-paper umbrella.
On the west side of the doorback street, separated from the wall of the neighbor's mansion, there is an alley that is only large enough for two people to walk in a row, and there are few people walking around.
"Eighth sister." There was a person standing in the shadow of the alley, and when he saw Yun Xiu, he slowly walked out.
"Sure enough, it's you." She expected that he would not let it go easily, and said lightly, "What is the matter with me?" “
Xie Zongren's voice was bright and clear through the rustling rain: "The day after tomorrow, Mr. will be closed and accompany me to listen to books." “
Yun Xiu refused, "I can't go." “
Xie Zongren squinted slightly, with a mocking look in his eyes, "When you go out in the carriage with Marquis Zhongyi, how can the eighth girl go out, and she can't go when she arrives?" “
"And Fang Cai, Chun Tao ran to the front yard to help you pass the word, right?" He continued, "Now it's just you and me, who is the eighth girl pretending to show me?" Me? “
"You really lift yourself up," Yun Xiu sneered. "I hated the real villain the most, and then look at the son, I found that the villain is stronger than the hypocrite, if the grandmother sees through you, I'm afraid that the entire Yangzhou City can't accommodate you, and it may not be smooth to return to Beijing to overturn the case."
This is not a threat, Yangzhou Patrol Salt Imperial History is the head of the salt road, Xie Zongren is crazy with jealousy, and he has to weigh it carefully.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Xiu had nothing to say, and turned to leave.
"Eighth sister, please stay." Xie Zongren's tone suddenly relaxed.
Yun Xiu didn't look back, but his steps paused.
Xie Zongren clenched his fist and let go again: "I'll just ask my sister, are you loyal to you?" “
Yun Xiu held the umbrella, tilted his head slightly, and half of his face disappeared in the shadows, "What I think about Zhongyihou has nothing to do with you." “
After speaking, she stepped through the side door without looking back.
***
"Are you listening?" Ding Meisheng got up from the couch and almost knocked over the bone china bowl on the low table.
The mother-in-law nodded again and again: "Cui'er is under the wall on the west side, and she will never hear a word wrong." really let my aunt guess, that Xie Gongzi was indeed interested in the eighth girl, but unfortunately she didn't let Cui'er catch it. “
Ding Meisheng scolded her for being stupid. "Cui'er is not the girl in my house, the old lady asked, bite you and me, didn't you lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot?"
The mother-in-law looked at her resignedly: "What do you mean?" “
Ding Meisheng rolled her eyes, beckoned to her mother-in-law, and motioned to come over, "If you go to Xue's house to find Mrs. Xue now, just say that my body is not good and my blood is insufficient, Ming'er will accompany me to grab medicine, she will understand." “
The mother-in-law was ordered to go out.
The next day, the two made an appointment at a common teahouse.
Aunt Xue was in a hurry, drank a cup of tea in one go, and said with a gloating smile: "What did I say before, I will always meet ghosts when I walk too much at night, but I was caught by you." “
"It's caught. And then what? Ding Meisheng frowned, "How can I tell the master?" I'm going to say it, and I've sold myself too. “
"Naturally, I can't say." Aunt Xue's eyes widened, and then she smiled like a fox, "I have an idea, I'm afraid you won't dare." “
Ding Meisheng seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "What idea?" You said. “
"Doesn't Marquis Zhongyi live in Yunfu??" Aunt Xue said as she spoke, her voice lowered.
Ding Meisheng was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and muttered: "You let me think, let me think." “
Although she boasted that she was only good at reading, she had to admit that Mrs. Xue had a good brain, ruthless methods, and great courage, but what is the identity of Zhongyi Hou, if it doesn't work, without the old lady's order, Master Yun will beat her to death.
Aunt Xue saw her hesitating, and pointed at the sore spot and said, "Are you afraid that the eight girls will climb the high branches and turn around to take advantage of the situation to pressure you, and now that such a good opportunity is missed, I am afraid that I will never find it again in the future." “
Ding Meisheng didn't speak, and Aunt Xue lost the sentence, "Look at this point", called the guy to settle the bill and leave.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?" When the mother-in-law saw her frosted eggplant, she said with concern, "What did Mrs. Xue say?" Don't you know her mouth, don't take everything to heart, you have to rely on her to gain a foothold in the house. “
Ding Meisheng said no: "Don't talk, I'm tired and want to be quiet." “
The mother-in-law did not speak again.
At the same time, Chun Tao heard that Aunt Ding was not in the mansion, and went back to the house to tell Yun Xiu that the master and servant went to the front yard with the bracers.
Ling Xiao was quite surprised by the uninvited guest, "Why are you?" Didn't you say that the backyard lady wouldn't let her come? “
The former sentence contains surprises, and the latter sentence talks about the sky to death.
Yun Xiu couldn't hold Hou Ye right or wrong, stood under the porch, and asked Chun Tao behind him to hand over the wrapped bracers: "It's been made in the past few days, Hou Ye will try it first, it's not suitable for the little girl to take it back and change it." “
"You come into the house and talk," Ling Xiao noticed that the hem of her skirt was wet, "I just don't close the door." “
The attendant immediately pushed open the door from the outside and made a gesture of please.
Yun Xiu hesitated for a moment, carried her skirt into the house, and Chun Tao was stopped outside.
Ling Xiao walked to the hall, and the big horse golden knife sat on the Taishi chair, one hand on the armrest, and the other hand in the air, waiting to wait.
Yun Xiu sighed lightly, took out the corresponding wrist guard and put it on his arm, and pulled the stringed strap: "What does Master Hou think?" “
Ling Xiao enjoyed this moment very much, looked at her and said, "Yes." “
Yun Xiu took out another bracer, "Try this again." “
Ling Xiao raised his bandaged left hand.
"Is Master Hou's injury better?" Yun Xiu subconsciously lowered his strength and said, "Yangzhou has never finished getting up on a rainy day, if Hou Ye is itchy, he can use that bottle of ointment to sleep more comfortably at night." “
"How do you know I'm itching?" Ling Xiao stared at her side face and raised the corners of his mouth, "Or do you not say it and secretly care about me?" “
Yun Xiu glanced at him, his subordinates pulled the strap violently, the wrist guard suddenly tightened, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth twitched, he gasped, and a few words popped out from between his teeth for a while, "It's my wound." “
She immediately showed a sincere and frightened expression, and bowed her knees: "Master Hou, the little girl is clumsy, please forgive me." “
"You come over and let me go first." Fine sweat broke out on his forehead and the tip of his nose, and he didn't look like he was pretending.
Yun Xiu hurriedly untied the belt, took off the bracer, picked up his left hand and looked at it, but fortunately there was no bleeding.
"You're really ruthless." Ling Xiao was afraid that she still had something bad, so he quickly withdrew his hand and stared at her unhappily, "Still pretending to be innocent, I don't dare to clean you up?" “
"Who does Master Hou want to clean up, but it's just a word." Yun Xiu lowered her eyebrows and shrank in the corner, and she didn't know that she thought she was being bullied, "Little girl, just step back, don't hinder your eyes." “
"Stop!" Ling Xiao bluntly called her over.
Yun Xiu took a small step forward: "What else does Master Hou command?" “
Ling Xiao looked at her. Glancing away again, he said extremely unnaturally: "Just the ointment, thank you, thank you." “
Yun Xiu winked at him inexplicably, "What the Hou Ye said, the little girl didn't understand." “
Ling Xiao suddenly roared, "If you don't understand, get out!" “
Before the change, Yun Xiu must have been angry. But today she found that Zhong Yihou's ears were red, and then look at the awkwardness of speaking, is it shy?
Thinking about it like this, not only was he not angry, but he wanted to tease him: "Master Hou, the mansion is my home, where do you want the little girl to go?" “
"??" Yes, this is someone's house. Tell people to get out.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and pointed out the door: "Go back to the backyard." “
Yun Xiu smiled and blessed, "Master Hou take care, the little girl retires." “
She held an umbrella, hummed a Yangzhou tune, and left with brisk steps.
Ling Xiao looked at the back of Sakura's crushing waist and armor submerged into the rain, and felt inexplicably lost, why couldn't he understand his thanks?
In Yanjing, except for Xie Father and Xie Mother, he has never thanked a third person, and he doesn't know what to do.
scolded and scolded, and then felt that he should not drive people away.
It's rare for a girl to take the initiative, will she be angry again, so troublesome??
Of course, Yun Xiu was not angry, and even Chun Tao could see her good mood.
"Girl, why are you still happy?" Don't let her mouth shut," the roar was so loud that the slave could hear it clearly under the porch. “
"Did Master Hou roar today?" Yun Xiu turned the handle of the umbrella and kicked the water forward, "Why didn't I hear it." “
Chun Tao really wanted to touch her girl if she had a fever, "Master Hou is so loud, didn't you hear it?" Have you been suffocated by a lot of bad things lately? Why don't you find a doctor? “
"I'm not sick, I'm looking for a doctor." Yun Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Don't look at Master Hou's invincible appearance." Sometimes it's cute. “
Lovely? Chun Tao thought that the eighth girl was crazy, looking horizontally and vertically, the words Zhongyi Hou and couldn't hang up.
"Girl, did you hit the evil spirit, or did the Hou Ye pour you ecstasy soup?" She thought it was incredible.
"None of them." Yun Xiu said with a smile, "Ming'er's breakfast snacks will send two plates of front yards, both of which are Yangzhou characteristics, and I will compensate Hou Ye." “
My own girl wants to send it. It can't be stopped, Chun Tao replied, and said goodbye to the eighth girl who also has thoughts about Hou Ye.
This kind of thing can only be thought of but not said, the next day when she sent Xiaodian away, Ling Xiao didn't say no, pointed to the table with his index finger, and said in a deep voice: "Since the eighth girl wants to send it, she will send me all the other breakfasts to taste." “
They all sent to Hou Ye to eat, what does my girl eat?
Chun Tao dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and slipped back to the house to spread the word.
Yun Xiu was generous: "If Master Hou wants it, just send it all." “
Chun Tao hurriedly asked: "Then what should you do, ask the kitchen to make another one, I'm afraid it's too late." “
"I didn't say I wouldn't eat it." Yun Xiu asked her to carry the food box and go with her.
??
"Why didn't Master Hou move his chopsticks?" As she expected, Zhong Yihou's awkwardness came up again, "If you think the breakfast on the table is not to your taste, just change it with the little girl, anyway, I will give it to you, and I don't have to eat it." “
Someone gave the steps, and Ling Xiao slipped down the pole, "Sit down." “
Only then did Chun Tao understand, it turned out that Hou Ye wanted to have breakfast with the eighth girl?
The girl agreed.
What if the old man and the old lady find out?
What if it reaches Aunt Ding's ears?
She felt like an ant on a steamer, her heart frying.
However, the two people who were eating calmly moved their chopsticks and did not feel the slightest bit wrong.
Until Yun Xiu put the peeled pigeon eggs into Ling Xiao's bowl, "Master Hou, can I ask a question." “
Ling Xiao: "You say." “
Yun Xiu blurted out: "Can you not embarrass the little girl in the future?" “
"Do you find it difficult?"
"Hmm."
"For example?"
"For example, if you have to accompany me to watch the play, and for example, like now, you shouldn't have appeared in the front yard, so you have to ask me to accompany you to breakfast."
"You don't want to?" Ling Xiao put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a straight face, "I have no choice?" “
