35. Chapter 35
In the days to come, Cheng Qinghe came every once in a while, and the small gifts he brought were also changed in different ways.
Ruoyun's attitude towards him changed from initial vigilance, to laxity, to boredom, and finally turned a blind eye.
It's just that whenever Cheng Qinghe comes over the wall and bumps into Xiaohong, he can always touch a nose and get out.
She began to envy Cheng Qingxuan's indifferent attitude, and whenever she rarely wrote a few small letters in the afternoon, she could always be interrupted by Cheng Qinghe's babbling.
But fortunately, Cheng Qinghe is like this, her original lively temperament when she was young seems to have recovered in this winter, and she can even laugh with Cheng Qinghe a few times when she comes and goes.
In the cold winter wax moon, a few days at the end of the month, it finally snowed heavily, and within a few days it was covered in silver and accumulated thickly.
Ruoyun set up a mourning platform in the hall before her father's mother, arched the dishes and fruits and was hastily buried three years ago, and sacrificed to the palace in winter.
The tomb of Lord Su and Mrs. Su was repaired after she returned home, far away in the suburbs of the capital so thick snow can not be made, she is nine points of sorrow, a point of loneliness, burn a pair of long candles, light a lamp, incense three pillars, prostrate to worship.
For a long time, he knelt on the futon and did not get up.
"Miss." Xiaohong came in to help add sesame oil, and whispered: "Lord Rongying is here, waiting in the main hall." β
"I'll go."
Ruoyun turned around and saw Rong Ying wearing a crimson long-sleeved dress, a plain thick cloak, apricot eyes and curved eyebrows, and pink carved jade, like a peony flower blooming in the winter snow. followed by Xiao Cui carrying the food box, and did not take the rest of the people.
"County Lord, Ruoyun is rude, let the county lord come alone......" She was polite, but she saw Rong Ying's face disappointed, and her eyes looked at the tablet in the hall in a daze.
"Father, Queen Mother, I also went that year......" Rong Ying bit her lip and spit out this sentence in a low voice for a long time.
"County Lord......" Ruoyun's heart was sour, she never thought that the county lord Rongying, who was loved by thousands of people, would lose her father and mother like herself.
Rong Yixuan's past three years should also be bitter......
She thought of the cold and arrogant man, and her expression was gloomy
"Being in the royal family, it is inevitable that I will be rich and rich, but I have nothing to ask for." Rong Ying blinked and pulled her to laugh: "Oh, don't be sad, I'm here to play with you, and I'll bring you new dishes by the way." Xiao Cui, open it and take a look. β
Xiao Cui's attitude is especially respectful now, and she happily opened the three-layer food box when she heard that she was busy.
I saw that there were snacks made of rabbits on the upper floor, phoenix bird pots made of emerald green vegetables and fruits on the middle floor, and a cup of bird's nest sugar water on the bottom was crystal clear.
"Where did the county lord get it?" Ruoyun's smile grew warmer.
"Given by the palace!" Rong Ying was full of interest, and walked around the snow three times, "Let's talk while walking, I am tired and annoyed after eating at the palace banquet for a few days, and I have to play with you for a day." β
If Yun ordered Xiaohong to go to the back garden, she would walk side by side with Rong Ying.
In the snow, one was wearing a blue dress, her face was elegant, and the other was in a fiery red brocade shirt with a bright smile, Xiaohong and Xiaocui followed from afar, and felt that such a beautiful beauty was her own miss, which was really an honor.
Rong Ying's eyebrows fluttered and she talked about how the silk of the Persian tribute was glamorous, and those dancing girls were all stunning beauties, but they wore too few clothes, and her emperor's brother didn't ask for any of them.
Hearing this, Ruoyun couldn't help but laugh with Rong Ying, the laughter echoed in the originally empty Sufu Garden, and a clear voice sounded not far overhead: "Wow, you guys are talking bad about Rong Jinhuan here, I'll sue you another day?" β
As soon as he looked up, Cheng Qinghe squatted on the top of the pavilion at some point, the crown of beads on his head reflected the sunlight, and he just looked at the two of them and laughed with a full time.
Rong Ying's face changed greatly, and she stretched out her hand angrily and pointed directly at the tip of Cheng Qinghe's nose: "Youββ! Cheng Qinghe! It's you again! β
"What about me?" Cheng Qinghe proudly raised his chin and jumped off the gazebo, disapproving.
"You dare to call the emperor's brother by his name! I'm going to sue you! Rong Ying glared angrily and said with a tiger face, "Last time, you broke into my Rongwang Mansion, and this time you broke into Su Mansion again, do you still have a royal law?!" β
When Cheng Qinghe heard this, his handsome face suddenly turned red: "Hey, what does it matter if I don't come here for you?" It's not the first time I've come to see Ruoyun. β
"Y-you call her Ruoyun?! Not the first time yet?! Rong Ying was angry, her face was flushed, and her fingers pointed at the tip of Ruoyun's nose.
"yes, what? King Rong's Mansion is the only one like you, so I don't want to go. Cheng Qinghe sneered at each other, hugging his shoulders and looking at the sky with his eyes.
Ruoyun was really innocent, looked at the two of them like fighting cocks, and quickly defended: "Qinghe Gongzi has always acted recklessly, and the county lord has a lot of knowledge. As he spoke, he lowered his voice and leaned closer to her, "Don't be like him." β
"That's right! Let's go! Rong Ying flicked her sleeves angrily, pulled Ruoyun abruptly, turned around and left.
Who knew that Cheng Qinghe was in a hurry, so he hurriedly flew in front of them and said: "Hey, don't be busy, don't be busy, you can go, if Yun can't do it, I'm here to invite her to spend the New Year together." β
Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, looked at Rong Ying, and pointed at herself: "Me? Off? β
Cheng Qinghe nodded: "Isn't this twenty-nine, my brother is in the palace, and Wen'er is not there, so it's boring." I've prepared a fireworks, let's see? β
Ruoyun only then knew that he saw that she was alone, and invited her to come over for a gathering, so she couldn't help but be moved in her heart and nodded: "Okay, Lord Rongying will also go together." β
"Huh?! Why?! "Cheng Qinghe is like a great enemy.
Rong Ying was originally very interested when she heard the "fireworks", but when she saw Cheng Qinghe's expression, she took two steps quickly in anger: "This county lord is not rare!" β
"If she doesn't go, then I won't either." Ruoyun quickly grabbed her, turned her head to Cheng Qinghe, and said fiercely.
Cheng Qinghe gave this threat, and his face suddenly looked bad.
"You're trying to be lively, isn't it just right for a lot of people?" Ruoyun smiled and winked at him.
Cheng Qinghe was embarrassed, finally sighed, lowered his face and said, "Okay, okay, let's go together, and call your Xiaohong Xiaocui by the way." As he spoke, he took a big stride and walked back to the main entrance.
"The lord of this county is not ......" Rong Ying didn't finish speaking, but Ruoyun pulled her sleeves with a smile, pursed her lips, and finally turned into a low mutter, "Go and go, I'm afraid you won't make it." β
Cheng Qinghe had already walked into the distance and beckoned to them.
In terms of power in the capital, King Cheng's Mansion is on par with Prince Rong's Mansion, and the mansion of King Cheng occupies the eastern corner of the capital, but it is many times the size of King Rong's Mansion.
In addition to the back of the foothills, there is more natural living water to lead to the pond, surrounded by verdant winding paths, if it is not separated by the high palace wall, I am afraid that I am afraid that I have arrived in a paradise by mistake.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Rong Ying asked Cheng Qinghe to lead them around to see, and it was the first time she had seen the legendary Cheng Wangfu.
Cheng Qinghe had no choice but to respond and take them around.
Several princes' residences were separated accordingly, and each place had a completely different style.
Cheng Qingsu's residence was spotless, the rooms were next to each other, only the largest and most spacious bedroom was left, and the easternmost bright one was used as a study.
And Cheng Qingxuan's residence is hidden behind a bamboo forest.
Cheng Qingwen's boudoir is in the depths of the palace, and she is bored at the moment to play with her brother with a different surname, and she shirks it in the palace and says that she is unwell.
Rong Ying was shocked by this deserted battle.
In the past, in King Rong's Mansion, girls could be seen everywhere gathering in groups to be lazy and chatting, but King Cheng's Mansion was sparsely populated.
There are few people, but occasionally I meet a servant and a miscellaneous servant but still bow my head, and when I see Cheng Qinghe, I only ask for peace, when they are the same air, I don't say hello and pass by in a hurry.
Cheng Qinghe laughed, saying that this is the style of the eldest brother, and the palace is rude and disrespectful.
The five of them walked and stopped, and a tall man appeared at some point, always following at a certain distance, wearing a fiery red thin shirt in winter, his hair, chin, and nose were well wrapped in a red turban, revealing only two cruel eyes.
Cheng Qinghe said that this person is the second brother's subordinate, his name is Chiyan, and someone will definitely not worry about coming to see it, when he does not exist.
Fortunately, Ruoyun was not very curious, and after a cursory look, she followed Cheng Qinghe, and dared to talk to him, and consciously kept her distance from him just by seeing his two extraordinary eyes.
After a circle, the sun was three poles, and the red flame didn't know when he stopped following, just like when he came, he walked silently.
Ruoyun felt like Cheng Qing and such a playful character, but she really didn't want to stay here. Under the heavy snow, Cheng Wang's Mansion is quiet and elegant, which seems to be more suitable for the indifferent Cheng Qingxuan.
Cheng Qinghe finally led them to the garden, where dishes were placed on the stone table and the stools were also covered with soft cushions.
Rong Ying was really hungry after shopping for a long time, and ran excitedly, but found that it was just ordinary food, and the excitement was swept away. But seeing Ruoyun and Cheng Qinghe sit down naturally, they had to move the chopsticks without disliking at all, and invited Xiaohong Xiaocui to sit down together.
"yes, yes, I almost forgot." Cheng Qinghe saw that the two of them were in a mood, and mysteriously stretched out his hand and brought up two jugs of wine from under the table, and the fingertips of the other hand held a few wine glasses, looking angry.
Rong Ying and Ruoyun looked at each other, they were bored eating, and when they saw him bring wine, they suddenly became interested: "What wine?" β
"Big brother went to court, this cellar is full of fine wine, come and try the plum wine, I specially found something that is not strong." As he spoke, he put down his glass and poured the jug.
The sparkling liquid gradually fills up, and the aroma of the wine wafts away.
Ruoyun stretched out her hand and touched it warmly, and she was a little excited: "When did you warm the wine?" β
Cheng Qinghe's expression was suddenly proud, and he touched the back of his head and said, "It was already hot in the barrel under the table." β
As he spoke, he urged them to taste it.
Ruoyun smiled and took a sip, and the crisp aroma of wine diffused on the tip of her tongue, rich and somewhat sweet.
Cheng Qinghe squinted and smiled at their reactions.
She smiled at him and drank it down, and it was a good wine.
I remember when I was a child, I was noisily asking my father to give her a taste, my father raised his chopsticks and pointed at the tip of her tongue, she screamed with spicy tears and was fooled, my father laughed loudly, and my mother on the side smiled and wiped it for her.
A warmth swells up in my heart, but it is fleeting.
The Si people are not there, but the wine is mild and fragrant.
"Wow, it's delicious! Pour and pour! Rong Ying's eyes lit up after drinking, and she hurriedly asked for another cup.
"Miss, this wine is delicious!" Xiaohong also smiled and admired.
"It's still more intense in our palace." Emerald whispered.
Rong Ying drank three glasses in a row, and was in high spirits: "Why don't you make a wine order?" β
"How can you do it with fewer people, stupid." Cheng Qinghe glanced at her.
"You ......" Rong Ying raised her face again, and said angrily, "You have to get along with me, the lord of this county prefers to carry out a drinking order, everyone takes turns to take this hairpin around, and whoever goes to it will answer the question by name, both complicated and simple, and if you can't answer it, you have to drink!" β
As he spoke, he grabbed a glass powder hairpin from his head, took off the appliquΓ© buckle on his sideburns, buckled the hairpin body as a rotating shaft, and rested it on the round table.
"Scared?" Rong Ying smiled defiantly at Cheng Qinghe.
"Who's afraid of whom!" Cheng Qinghe was not to be outdone, raised his hand and high-fived and ordered someone to remove the dishes and chopsticks.
Rong Ying stretched out her hand to turn the pearl hairpin, the hairpin head stopped pointing at herself, and her face was full of energy, and she rushed to Cheng Qinghe and said: "The county lord will name you to answer, how much money do Cheng Qing and you spend in the restaurant gambling house every month?" β
"This ......" Cheng Qinghe's face was slightly red, it stands to reason that this silver monthly account is a confused account, and it is terrible to let the eldest brother know, so he has to grit his teeth and say: "I won't tell you!" β
"Drink!" Rong Ying slapped the round table.
Cheng Qinghe went down on his back.
It was Ruoyun's turn, and the hairpin pointed at Cheng Qinghe this time.
"What color do you like?" Cheng Qinghe looked at her and opened his mouth to ask.
"Lotus lotus." Ruoyun didn't want to think about it, and answered calmly.
Cheng Qinghe nodded, stretched out his hand to turn the hairpin, and the hairpin pointed to Ruoyun.
Ruoyun simply faced Xiaohong and said, "Who does Xiaohong like the most?" β
"Of course it's Miss!" Xiaohong announced triumphantly.
When she turned to Xiaocui, she could only ask Xiaohong innocuous questions, and every time she turned to Ruoyun, Ruoyun asked Xiaohong to answer, and Cheng Qinghe asked Ruoyun by name about her preferences, Rong Ying picked up Cheng Qinghe's bad debts and seemed to know what his headaches were.
Cheng Qinghe was finally irritable, ordered someone to add wine, and began to ask Rong Ying who he liked the most and when he would marry to avoid trouble, but how could Rong Ying, as the county lord, answer him, and drank the wine in front of him with a red face.
People drank too much and began to talk nonsense, Xiaohong Xiaocui giggled, and finally even Ruoyun was defeated on the issue of Rong Ying's "who did she like".
When the sun set, the cold wind seemed to be snowing again, and the five masters and servants walked dizzily and staggered to the backyard.
Cheng Qinghe ordered someone to send dishes from Tianfu Restaurant, but everyone was half drunk and no one moved their chopsticks a few times.
He simply went to light the fireworks, but he couldn't light them left and right, Rong Ying ridiculed him for being a fireworks, and the two quarreled.
Ruoyun waved him to hurry up and repair the fireworks, and he got up and walked around, the backyard was built by the mountain, next to the bamboo forest, and the bamboo was bent down by the heavy snow, quietly.
There are bright spots in the sky, and the white snowflakes are dancing gracefully like fairies, light and soft.
She happily stretched out her hand, and the white feather melted as soon as it touched her palm, leaving only snow water, which was cold to her heart.
Looking at the rows of houses from afar, she took a good look at Cheng Qingxuan's residence.
There were only a few rooms, and the roof was silvery-white, and the steps were covered with snow, all of which were flat and softly white, except for the footprints she had just stepped on.
She couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing, this silver light was plain white, but it was very elegant against Cheng Qingxuan.
She raised her sleeves as if she had the sound of silk bamboo music.
Covered by the light, Ruoyun took off her cloak and revealed her taupe dress, with plain face and simple hair, closed her eyes and smiled, her cheeks were dyed crimson, she raised her hands and danced, stepping on the beat under her feet, and walking briskly.
The snowflakes are flying, and the figure blends with the snow scene, like a picture scroll.
In front of me, the bells and drums rang out in unison, and the noisy wine banquet of silk and bamboo.
The music was tactful, the background was changed to the warm winter sun, and Daddy stood with a smile, slightly bowing his head to watch her dance.
At the end of the song, she felt that someone was standing beside her, so she smiled brightly: "Daddy, has Yun'er's dancing improved?" β
To be seen clearly, Daddy's image is scattered, Cheng Qingxuan doesn't know when he is standing in the bamboo forest snow, white clothes and plain robes, soft hair is scattered, the face of the jade carving is like a fairy in the world, there is no wave in the quiet eyes, only looking at her fixedly, holding a crystal jade flute in his hand, like a spring bamboo in the bamboo forest, shining like a brilliance.
"Lord Wang...... Seeing the smile, "Ruoyun was in pain because ......of the disillusionment in her heart, and because she unintentionally bumped into the owner of the house, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she choked up in her throat with a word, "Qinghe didn't say that the prince was in the house, Ruoyun was offended...... I still hope to ......" she saluted in a daze, secretly blaming herself for her carelessness.
"It's okay, since you came to the mansion as a guest, I was snubbing." Cheng Qingxuan smiled, and Ruixue lost her luster in an instant.
"Ruoyun! Come on! The fireworks are lit! Ruoyun wanted to say something, but Cheng Qinghe's shouting came from afar.
"Ruoyun! Come and see! Rong Ying also shouted.
She was too busy to take a few steps, when there was a loud bang, and large fireworks rose from the wall, blooming in the air, turning into specks of light and falling.
Immediately afterwards, a succession of fireworks were like a light curtain in the sky, printing the backyard into a piece of fire and silver flowers.
Ruoyun saw this scene, hurried to the backyard, and was hugged by Xiaohong.
"Miss! It's beautiful! Xiaohong wants to make a wish for a safe coming year! Xiaohong said and folded her hands in prayer.
Rong Ying fell on the chair and laughed wantonly, her eyes were bright: "It's so beautiful!" Cheng Qinghe really has yours! This lord forgives you for your innocence! β
"When did I get guilty! You fierce ......" Cheng Qinghe stiffened his mouth, sat with his legs crossed unscrupulously for a while, and went to light new fireworks.
"You know bickering." Ruoyun smiled and sat down next to Rong Ying, who hugged her and shouted excitedly.
The fireworks are scattered, and the melodious flute sounds, from far to near, like a fragrant flower, and it can be eternal in an instant.
