Chapter 8 The Woman's Sudden Visit
The summer heat is getting stronger, and the originally deserted bookstore is only the sound of cicadas.
Yi Xue lay in front of the bookcase, bored, looking at the mottled shadows of the trees outside the door and muttered: "Rong Tian, do you know Huo Qu's illness?" He is a great hero admired by people who practice martial arts, he was proficient in horseback riding, archery and other martial arts at a young age, and at the age of nineteen he was appointed as a hussar general, and his military achievements are impressive......
As she spoke, Yi Xue changed her posture, supported her head with her hands, and continued: "However, Huo Quzhi is only the illegitimate son of a powerful minister, although he grew up in Qiluo, he has never indulged in wealth and luxury. ”
Rong Tian didn't reply, Yi Xue glanced in the direction of Rong Tian, and Rong Tian, who was usually expressionless, actually looked at him, with a little starlight in his eyes, and seemed to be particularly interested in this story.
Yi Xue was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, maybe it was the phrase "the great hero worshiped by those who practice martial arts" that aroused Rong Tian's interest, and then paused, and continued: "I listened to the cicadas, thinking that the desert should be hotter every summer. Huo Qubing once said, 'The Huns are not destroyed, how can they be home', the country is the most important, and the country is the most important. But in the end, he died young and became the love of the ancients. ”
In fact, this story is just some fragments that Yi Xue overheard in Guozixue, and the parts she knows have been told to Rong Tian, but Rong Tian seems to be still unsatisfied, Yi Xue feels a little bit of Rong Tian's enthusiasm, and when she is worried about what to do, a woman with a scarf covering her face comes in from the door.
Women patronize the bookstore, Yi Xue has always been very welcome, but this person deliberately covered his face, things may not be so simple, and then look at her dress, it is not the same as the daughter of ordinary people, Yi Xue can't help but be alert.
The woman looked left and right, and after making sure that there were only two people in the bookstore, she glanced at Rong Tian more, and was forced to take a step back by Rong Tian's cold eyes, so she walked up to Yi Xue and asked:
"Dare to ask, but Tao Gongzi?"
If it was usual, Yi Xue might have caught up with it a long time ago, but today Ji Xue didn't dare to answer, carefully looking at the woman's clothes, the wide-sleeved short dress and long skirt she was wearing were medium silk cloth, and this pair of cardigans was mostly the outfit used by maids, and her maid had four hairpins on her comb ring, which should not be ordinary maids.
Yi Xue thought quickly, although she didn't know much about the relationship between jewelry and official rank, but she had never seen her dress like this in the town, and above Qifeng Town was Liangyi County, could it be that the county magistrate's family sent someone? What is sent to do it? The shadow of the sword seven years ago suddenly appeared in front of her eyes...... This is undoubtedly her most worrying thing.
Yi Xue's face became a little pale but she didn't know it, the woman saw that she hadn't spoken, she was a little dissatisfied, muttered a few words and didn't see Yi Xue react, Rong Tian on the side also noticed something strange, the woman was a little impatient, but she didn't dare to ask Rong Tian, when she wanted to push, Rong Tian walked to Yi Xue's side and whispered to her:
"Are you okay?"
Rong Tian's voice suddenly pulled Yi Xue back to reality, she looked at Rong Tian, his thin inky eyes were like a haze in her heart.
It was the first time Rong Tian saw Yi Xue's appearance, and his clever and clever appearance on weekdays was like two people.
Rong Tian gently placed his hand on her shoulder and patted her gently in an attempt to comfort her. Then he turned to the woman who came and said:
"This is Tao Gongzi, dare to ask what's the matter?"
Yi Xue was startled, and looked at Rong Tian with wide eyes, she just wanted to hide like this, but what now? Rong Tian admitted it for her!
The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, took off her veil, looked at Yi Xue suspiciously, glanced at Rong Tian again, and said to Yi Xue unceremoniously: "Can you take a step to speak?" ”
Yi Xue's shoulders shook, and she became nervous again, panicking and not knowing how to respond. Rong Tian felt the uneasiness coming from her body, and spoke:
"I am Tao Gongzi's scholar, and I accompany Gongzi day and night, so I don't need to worry about anything." He must have listened to the next words with Yi Xue.
Seeing that she couldn't hide, Rong Tian's remarks could at least avoid being alone with her and this woman, so she hurriedly echoed: "That's right, so he is not an outsider, so you might as well say it if you have something to say." ”
The maid quickly looked at Rong Tian again, and turned her head to explain her intention to face Yi Xue.
"I am Amber, the personal maid of Yin Baoshan, the eldest lady of the Yin family, the county magistrate of Liangyi County, and this time I am here to pass a word for my young lady, and I want to ask my son to do it for me." After finishing speaking, he twisted it again, and asked for a soft ear.
At this time, Rong Tian felt that Yi Xue had completely relaxed the moment she heard her intentions, so she didn't stop it.
Yi Xue hid her face and smiled after hearing this, nodded and signaled that she could leave.
Amber Whispers –
It turned out that Yin Baoshan, the eldest lady of the Yin family, had a crush.
Xue Xue let out a long sigh of relief.
The lover is the son of the prince of the dynasty, and the two have recently had the opportunity to meet, so they sent the maid Amber here, wanting to ask Yu Xue to write a love note and hand it over to him on the day of the meeting.
And this love note can't just be a simple poem, I heard that the other party is quite literate, so it can't be the face of the eldest lady, but also to be sincere and not lose everyone's demeanor, to put it bluntly, it is to show both admiration and women's virtue.
Naturally, the remuneration is not low.
After Amber left, Xue Xue relaxed, sat down in front of the bookcase, and reflected on whether she was too cautious just now, but fortunately, things were much simpler than she imagined, and even a beautiful errand.
But before that, Yi Xue had always wanted to match a beautiful wooden box for the belt left by her mother and brother to her sister and brother, and the material and craftsmanship of the waist tie were all of the highest quality, so she should have a wooden box that could match it, but she didn't have any spare money.
Although I don't know why the young lady of the county official's family would find her and pay her well, Yi Xue thought that it would be difficult to have such an opportunity after Qixi Festival, so she took it.
After the Qixi Festival, it is already the eighth year of leaving the palace, and the Qixi Festival was originally the most anticipated day for boys and girls, but it had a different taste in the eyes of Yi Xue.
……
In the last surprise visit of the maid Amber, because of Rong Tian's initiative to help, the relationship between the two seemed to be suddenly much closer, and Rong Tian's words gradually increased, and the two became tacit in doing things.
Whenever Yi Xue wanted to copy it, Rong Tian took the initiative to polish the ink for her; In the morning, when Yixue was still rubbing on the bed, complaining that she was going up the mountain to pick hemp and vines, Rong Tian had already carried the basket and stood outside the house to wait.
Moreover, Rong Tian knew that she was a woman, and she would take the initiative to pick when she went up the mountain, and he was fast, and Yi Xue was busy for half a day and was less than one-tenth of what Rong Tian did, and then she simply threw the sickle aside and didn't do it, and Rong Tian never said anything.
Yi Xue originally felt that he was not the kind of cold person, but now, he also found that he was a good boy who could take care of people.
In terms of reading, Rong Tian has also become more active, especially since listening to the story of Huo Quai's illness that day, he took the initiative to ask Yi Xue to tell him a story, the last time he talked about Zhuge Liang Bai Dituo's lonely family, he did his best and died, his eyes were filled with tears.
Yi Xue even felt that this was Rong Tian's original appearance, honest and kind.
However, although Rong Tian didn't say a word about the events of that day, Yi Xue always felt that since then, Rong Tian seemed to have seen something and was slightly uneasy. But as Tanabata approaches, the snow begins to get busy, and these worries are gradually forgotten.
