Chapter 113: Lixing and Ruyue's Family Affair II
Lixing has always been an honest person who does more and talks less, and such a person is also a sought-after good man in his previous life. Lixing's eyes are sincere, and his words must be sincere, and his words are trembling. Zhang Erzhen was a little happy, and she had such a heart, and she also gave an excellent explanation to Ruyue, but ......
"Don't say whether you dare or not, Ruyue has always been by my side, and her words and deeds are outstanding. You don't have to put your life on the line for the promise you made in the emergency, and in all fairness, if you don't want to, or can't pay attention, I will cancel the engagement for her, and it will be okay if it never existed. ”
Li Xing's face turned red, and he said hurriedly: "Girl Mingjian, the slave is willing, the slave has no dissatisfaction, the slave is not very old, and he is willing to wait for Miss Ruyue for a few years, it is ...... Even a few more years, the minions can wait. ”
Zhang Erzhen smiled like a kind old man, took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I understand your intentions." Ruyue is also older, I will tell her about it, as for the end, it depends on the ...... You go down first. ”
Zhang Erzhen was originally a little hesitant whether to tell Ruyue or not, but when she watched Lixing disappear around the corner, she secretly blamed herself, saying that people are equal, and dragging it all the time is the biggest injustice to Lixing. If Ruyue doesn't want to, forget it.
When Ruyue was looking for Zhang Erzhen, Zhang Erzhen had already entered the inner room, sitting in front of the marble flower table and looking at the jade pendant in his hand in a daze, Zhang Erzhen heard the sound, and ordered the people to close the doors and windows, signaling Ruyue to sit on the low pier on the side, and said leisurely: "...... That year, you secretly burned paper in the house to attract your mother's ghost, which was attached to Er Shu, and Er Shu's high fever did not go away for two whole days. Later, the head of the ink and wash path came and cured Er Shu, but you and I were in a coma for more than half a month. Ruyue, do you ever know how I woke up?"
Ruyue didn't know what the girl's intention was to bring up the old things of the year, she wrung her sleeves and shook her head, the girl had always smiled and didn't show her face, and at this time Ruyue actually broke out in a cold sweat. Zhang Erzhen said to herself: "I have a marriage contract with the son of the Sun family, so I woke up." Ruyue, do you know how you woke up?"
Ruyue was a little confused and a little abrupt, looking at the girl's soft side face with wide eyes, Zhang Erzhen smiled and handed the jade pendant into Ruyue's hand and said, "I went to the home where you used to live, found this jade pendant, and then promised you a family affair...... You've just woken up. ”
Ruyue trembled and took the palm-sized jade, living in Zhangfu for so many years, she could see that this was not a good jade, and the fat rabbit on it was already a little blurry, 'the third son of the first month'. This is her birthday? Ruyue's slender fingers caressed the smooth surface of the jade pendant, and the tentacles were cold, and it took a while before she asked softly, "Girl, which one did the house promise for me?"
"At that time, you had been asleep for more than half a month, and you were in a hurry, and you didn't dare to find someone who didn't know how to come from outside the house, so you valued your honest and honest deeds back then. ”
The handsome smiling face appeared in front of Ruyue's eyes, and Zhang Erzhen turned her gaze to the side and said softly: "You were too young to tell you this in the early years. Now that you are older, you should know what you should know, don't complain that the people in the house don't tell you, when things were dangerous, I also gave you this master with the attitude of giving it a try. After so many years, we are all fine, I thought, if you don't want to, I'll go back to Lixing, and ask him not to wait for you...... If you want, I will let you go when you are older. ”
The hairpin between the moon's hair shook gently, and there was no word for a long time. Zhang Erzhen said again: "You have always been a thoughtful person, even if I don't say it, you should have noticed something wrong over the years." Lixing has always been honest, why don't you go anywhere, when you go home, you will first come to our yard to deliver things, and it is a cherry and a noodle person, although they are all small objects, but it can be seen that his intentions are good. I've been watching it coldly for so many years, and I think it's still very good for people to do it. You're my girl, so I naturally respect your opinion, so let's go back and think about it. This is not the time to be shy, this is a lifelong event, if you are willing, it will be better if I let go of my strength in the future. ”
Ruyue held the warm jade pendant and said goodbye softly, still softly speaking, and left slowly. Zhang Erzhen felt a little strange, and also a little incomprehensible, Ruyue's reaction was too bland, neither shy nor annoyed, maybe the news was too strong, and she didn't react at all? Or did she already know it, but just pretended not to understand? Or did she already have an idea, but she didn't know how to speak? Zhang Erzhen thought about a few possibilities, waved her hand and took a big thick pillow behind her back, like a Lafayette hooked her eyes and prepared to take a nap, about a sleep, Ruyue figured it out.
At night, Ruyue brought a copper basin with warm water to serve Zhang Erzhen to freshen up, Zhang Erzhen sat in front of the rhombic mirror and watched Ruyue close the door and come over, turned around and smiled: "Look at your cool appearance, if you leave me in the future, I really can't bear you." Mingyue is smart, but not as stable as you! Ruyue, you have been with me for many years, we grew up together, you don't need to be shy, just tell me if you have something to say. ”
Ruyue twisted a snow-white cotton wool handkerchief and put it on the girl's face, dipped it in warm water and patted it lightly a few times, and said softly: "Girl, the slave maid has thought about it, and the slave maid is willing to follow the girl, even if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life." Girl, if you dislike the slave and maid and want to get the slave out with a rough mouth and a stupid mouth, the slave and the maid have nothing to say, just listen to the girl. ”
"Don't you want to?" Zhang Erzhen asked: "Don't dislike Lixing, you are a person in the mansion now, I will definitely give you a deed of sale in the future, and you will definitely live well when you go out to earn a living." Lixing is someone I have looked at for many years, if you don't want to, can you think about it?"
The room was quiet, only the sound of trickling water brought by Ruyue could be heard, and Ruyue said firmly and slowly: "Girl, I have decided, ask the girl to fulfill." ”
Zhang Erzhen wanted to ask why she didn't want to, but she felt that she had no position to deprive a person of her right to marry. Ruyue was reluctant to follow Lixing, and it was useless for her to say anything, "Since you don't want to, I will take back your Geng post, and the matter between you two in the future...... Forget it. ”
"Miss Xie is complete, the slave is still young, and when the girl gets married, the slave and the maid want to think about their own affairs. ”
"When the time comes...... I'm afraid there is no such excellent person to practice......" Zhang Erzhen packed up and nested into the warm collapse, looking at Ruyue who put down the bed curtain, her eyes were full of inquiry.
Ruyue didn't care, and said with a smile: "...... Then it's better to be with the girl for the rest of your life. The smile was hearty and cheerful, Zhang Erzhen was a little moved, at that moment, Zhang Erzhen felt that meeting Ruyue, a little girl, was also her great luck in this life. Although Ruyue has changed a lot in the future, Zhang Erzhen is still ruthless to her.
In the final analysis, Lixing is Ruyue's life-saving benefactor, although it is a bit of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but Zhang Erzhen is also unwilling to match this Lang's unintentional marriage with a concubine. Zhang Erzhen didn't call Lixing to come over and speak, but only told Uncle Zhang and asked Uncle Zhang to take over the follow-up. Zhang Erzhen was quite guilty and rewarded Li Xing with twenty taels of silver, she admired this young man very much, but unfortunately she had no fate with Ruyue. Not to mention how to think, Ruyue lives like a nobody, arranging the golden autumn and silver autumn to do the work in a gentle voice, and he often holds the embroidered bandage and does not leave his hand, suddenly a handkerchief, suddenly a forehead, most of them are filial to Zhang Erzhen, and occasionally there are Hua Mama and the nurse. Mama Hua recuperated in Zhang's mansion, and after no longer taking medicine, she came to Zhang Erzhen's butterfly courtyard, Zhang Erzhen was holding the account book to look at today's expenses in the house, except for food, drink and clothing, only Zhang Heling's consumption was relatively high, the family population was small, Uncle Zhang managed well, and the accounts were clear at a glance.
Mama Hua sat on the soft stool with embroidered flowers on one side, looked at Zhang Erzhen's focused appearance and said embarrassedly: "I knew that the girl was busy, so I would come back later." ”
Zhang Erzhen put down the account book and said with a smile: "Mama, don't be surprised, I was also bored so I asked the housekeeper to find the accounts and take a look." Mama is in good health, if there is anything inconvenient, just tell the nurse and me, although Mama lives in Zhangfu, you must be polite to me. ”
Zhang Erzhen's appearance as a little adult made Mama Hua couldn't help but chuckle, and replied: "If it weren't for the girl's kindness to take me in, I wouldn't know what to do now, my old bones are useless, but since I follow the girl, I will listen to the girl's call in the future, and the girl should not dislike me to take the big one, and the girl will not come forward to me." The words have a deep meaning, in the end, it is a grandmother from the palace, and her words are simply and neat.
Zhang Erzhen got up and closed the door, personally poured a cup of tea and brought it to Mama Hua and said, "Mama knows why we came to Shandong, so I won't say anything else." There is a grandmother in Zhang's mansion, I have a peace of mind, and don't feel that I owe it to you, you have the grace of education in me, and also have the grace of education with His Royal Highness the Prince, to tell the truth with Mama, I also have several relationships with His Royal Highness the Prince. If something happens to the Zhang family in the future, please ask Mama to see our fate and help anyone who can. ”
Mama Hua was a little surprised to see Zhang Erzhen's petite body enter the inner room, and it took a while to take out a small pear blossom wood box, Zhang Erzhen took out the curled warm jade pendant that Zhu Youzhu gave her for the first time and showed it to Mama Hua, Mama Hua was surprised: "This thing is owned by His Royal Highness the Prince." This is the prince who lived in the Queen Mother when he was young, and the Queen Mother personally tied it to him and never left him. Since the girl has this thing, why can she still be forced to come to this by the Wan family?"
Zhang Erzhen stroked the faint fine lines carved on the box: "This thing is useless to me, because I can't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all." I only left at night, and Wanrong sent a small sedan chair to Zhang's Mansion to pick me up on the second day, and my grandmother should know that if I really entered Wanfu, who could administer justice for me. Concubine Wan only said a word or two, and I couldn't turn over again. I sent someone to inquire when I left, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't appeared for a long time. ”
Mama Hua carefully put the jade pendant into the box, and pondered: "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was six years old, Concubine Wan Guifei originally wanted to take it to Fengzao Palace to raise it, but it was the Queen Mother who insisted on taking it to Renshou Palace to raise it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cautious every step of the way, always paying attention, and he must respond with twelve points of spirit in front of the saint. The prince and Wan Guifei have always been incompatible, even if the girl does not go to the prince, the prince will also break off with the Wan family. Now that the Wan family is powerful and immoral, it has offended many powerful people in the DPRK and China, and the ministers who are staring at the Wan family are waiting for Wan Guifei to fall out of favor, and the Wan family will be like a fish on a knife...... So, we're ...... If you can hide, no one can fight against Wanjia at present. ”
Zhang Erzhen knew that what Mama Hua said was the truth, but she was also a little unwilling, and said: "The peaceful and prosperous era turned out to be the appearance, and it is said that the essence is seen through the phenomenon, and how many people's eyes have been confused by today's people and happiness. The Holy Lord favored Concubine Wan so far, he couldn't even care about his own son. Mama, you know, it's no use hiding out. ”
