Chapter 12 Affection
The night is just beginning. Ning Zhiyuan looked at the courtyard where the lights were still lit in front of him, shook the clothes he had just changed, and slowly walked in.
As he expected, before he could take his seat, he was stopped by a maid, "Son, come with me." ”
The same room, the same two people, the difference is the state of mind, and the poppy that replaces the lotus picture.
"Childe has been in the future for a long time," Liu Ru saw Ning Zhiyuan and smiled lightly, "Let Ru cut a pot of tea for Childe again." ”
"I'm tired of the girl. Recently, I have been entangled in mundane affairs, but I can't leave. Ning Zhiyuan looked straight at Liu Ruis and explained.
"Why doesn't Childe call the little girl like that anymore? These two words are still obtained by the child. Liu Ru skillfully fiddled with the purple sand tea set in her hand and sighed. For a while, the air was filled with a strong smell of tea.
"If it is still that way, why should the girl care?" Ning Zhiyuan said to himself, "However, the poem written by the girl is very meaningful. ”
Liu Ru's eyes were gloomy, his mouth opened slightly, and he said, "I can't compare to Childe's literary brilliance, if I have heard Childe compose two poems, they are both masterpieces comparable to those of our predecessors, and if I believe now, Childe can make more than ten masterpieces at any time." ”
"What is the literary style, the essence of poetry only lies in the heart, and ignorant people will take writing poetry as a means of showing off, so there is a saying that poetry sings the will and the text carries the Tao." Ning Zhiyuan said, "In the girl's poem, I saw love, not moaning without illness, and that's enough." ”
Liu Ru bowed her head and was silent
"Today's tea is not as good as last time." Ning Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and said. He was a little irritated in his heart.
"Childe really doesn't know how to taste tea, the tea is still the same tea, this water is much better than last time, guess Childe is coming today, specially taken from the mountain stream early in the morning." Liu replied, still hanging his head.
"In the lower mouth, I don't know how to taste tea." Ning Zhiyuan smiled softly and calmed down again, "But in my heart, I can tell the difference." ”
Liu Ru's body suddenly trembled.
"It's time to go back." After a long time, Ning Zhiyuan stood up, "I can't compare to others, I still have something to do." ”
Liu Ru, who was sitting opposite, raised his head suddenly, his eyes were a little red, and he just looked at Ning Zhiyuan.
"Childe is still angry?" Liu Ru asked with a trilled voice.
Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, turned around and walked out.
He was very angry, he was really angry, angry that Liu Ru came to himself today after faintly rejecting himself for the first time, saying that he could make more than ten masterpieces, what does this mean? Don't want to marry that old man and let yourself redeem her? Angry Liu Ru is not as determined as Li Xiangjun to splash the peach blossom fan with blood, and is even more angry that he was a spare tire in this turbulent late Ming Dynasty.
"Childe stays." Liu Ruyi staggered behind Ning Zhiyuan and hugged his waist tightly.
Ning Zhiyuan was stunned.
He didn't expect this to happen, looking down at the pair of small hands wrapped around his waist, feeling the soft body behind him, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly felt that he really felt a little pity, or fell in love with this girl.
He didn't quite understand this feeling, the two had only spoken once and met only twice.
But there was an impulse in his heart that drove him.
"What a fuss this is?" Ning Zhiyuan was silent for a while, but he sighed and said, he decided, no matter what this girl thought, let's help her get through this level first.
Liu Ru suddenly burst into tears and smiled, holding Ning Zhiyuan tightly.
"Let it go, I'll go to find your mother Liu for something." Ning Zhiyuan said with a chuckle. Mother Liu is the woman who raised Liu Yin to such a big age.
Liu Ru didn't let go, but hugged her tighter.
"Childe heard that Zhou Shilang was going to redeem Ru Shi back home, and he asked you to talk about it today, so Childe was so angry." Liu said.
Ning Zhiyuan didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Seeing Ning Zhiyuan's expression, Liu Ru suddenly felt very aggrieved, and said with a crying voice, "Why does the son have to do this to me, if so, how can he be that kind of person!" ”
Letting go of Ning Zhiyuan's waist, Liu Ru turned around and wiped the tears on his face with his hand, "It's okay to talk about it today." ”
Ning Zhiyuan also turned around, and what he saw was Liu Ru's slightly lonely back, which made him feel a little guilty and a little relieved at the same time, he blamed her wrongly, but this just showed that his conjecture was wrong.
"If his real name is Yang Lianying, he was born in a very happy family, although he is not very rich, but he also has no worries about food and clothing, and a **** makes Ru have nothing, at that time, he was only six years old."
Ning Zhiyuan didn't know a lot about Liu Ruyi's experience, but the feeling of listening to her own story was very different, he knew that this legendary woman in the late Ming Dynasty had a very miserable life.
"The robbers killed all my family and sold me into the homehouse, and from then on," Liu Ru paused, paused, and continued, "From then on, Yang Lianying became Liu Yin, a woman in the Qinglou. ”
"Childe, do you know what it means to be a woman in the Qinglou?" Liu Ru asked suddenly.
Ning Zhiyuan nodded and did not speak, he felt that at this time, he should not interrupt.
"Childe probably knows." Liu Ru laughed sadly, "The Qinglou woman means that she is as good as she can do, and she can't die well, but if she is lucky, maybe because my mother thinks that I am more valuable than ordinary women, and while teaching me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I will not taste a piece of red lips, so I have always hoped that I have always hoped to live a life like an ordinary woman." ”
"You are indeed much luckier than the average person." Ning Zhiyuan sighed.
"Yes, Childe, you are the seventh guest to receive such a reception, and what Childe said that night felt so sincere, and I feel that you are more amazing than all the talents I have ever seen before." As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of Liu Ru's mouth, "And I didn't promise you, because after all, it was the first time I met my son, and I thought about it for a long time." ”
Ning Zhiyuan was not angry at Liu Ru is first refusal, in his opinion, this was normal, and the reason why he was angry was because of something else.
"But I didn't expect that after that day, Gongzi never came again, and there was one more Ning Jieyuan in the establishment, if he sent someone to inquire a few times, he learned that Gongzi was cooking porridge outside the city to save people, and he admired Ru Wei, and then, Mei Xiang Poetry Club Gongzi was shocked, but he was already concerned about Gongzi but didn't know it, but he didn't expect it" Liu Ru is face showed a trace of sadness, and instantly turned red again, "Today, I asked Gongzi to come, but I just wanted to have a spring breeze with Gongzi." ”
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes widened, feeling incredulous, and the guilt in his heart was even worse, if Liu Ru didn't hug herself at the last moment, this talented woman would have to rub shoulders with herself.
"If I never thought that Gongzi could make trouble for me and Zhou Shilang, although Gongzi is righteous and talented, he must not offend him, otherwise, I am afraid that Gongzi will have a bumpy future." Liu Ru turned around and looked at Ning Zhiyuan, with a hint of firmness and shame in his eyes, "Childe, can you stay overnight today?" ”
Looking at Liu Ru is eyes full of affection, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly smiled, slowly walked towards Liu Ru is, hugged her trembling body hard, and kissed her delicate red lips fiercely.
For a long time, the lips parted.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at Liu Rushi, who was a little stunned, and said softly in her ear, "If so, the last thing you should do is to doubt your husband's ability, wait here, believe that you will definitely be mine." ”
As he spoke, under Liu Ru's surprised gaze, Ning Zhiyuan walked out of the door quickly.
