Chapter Twenty-Three: Refusal
But he also thought about it in his heart, why Yue Chu'er's hair crown fell out so easily, and her hair fell out so easily, so that the prince could see that she was a daughter.
Maybe it's because I've been on the battlefield for a long time, so I have doubts and think too much in my heart from time to time.
One of his hearts has been hanging since Yue Chu'er left, and it was not until Jiang Ning said that Miss Yue had been sent back to the house.
I thought that Yue Chu'er would be very unhappy when she was suddenly sent away, but I heard Jiang Ning say that Miss Yue entered the mansion with a song.
……
Knowing that Yue Chu'er and Bai Chuxi went out alone, Rong Changning was not angry, and he didn't even have a little emotion. On the contrary, Rong Ruo was so angry that he couldn't do it.
I have been absent-minded in the school, and as soon as I got home, I was taken by Rong Changning to the Wanqing Academy for endorsement.
When he had nothing to do, he took his subordinates out to go around, but he actually wanted to find out something, and he didn't return to the Hou Mansion until the sun set in the west and went straight to the Wanqing Courtyard.
Seeing that Rong Changning didn't say anything else, he poured himself tea and told Rong Changning: "In the spring hunt in the northern suburbs in March, the prince personally went to the northern suburbs to inspect and deploy, and General Bai accompanied him. ”
At the end, he added: "Yue Chu'er also followed, but it didn't take long for her to be sent back to Yue's house." Bai Chuxi didn't deliver it personally. ”
Rong Ruo rolled his eyes after hearing this and muttered: "Half-hearted, what kind of man is he?" ”
Rong Changning sat upright, raised his eyes with a ring ruler in his hand, and said only one word with a cold expression: "Write." ”
Rong Ruo was afraid to copy the book obediently like a rabbit, and he didn't dare to take another stubble.
"Changning, there is something I shouldn't have said." As soon as the words of resentment were spoken, Rong Changning smiled: "That is, brother resentment, if someone else says this, I will say a sentence: If you don't say it, don't say it." There is nothing that can be said and cannot be said when the courtyard door is closed, so why be polite? ”
Hearing this, he said with relief: "He cares about the little sister of the Yue family so much, presumably it will be indispensable to toss in the future." Even if you get married, you can't settle down and live your life. ”
"Who can say what will happen in the future?" Rong Changning prevaricated on this sentence, and didn't say anything else, just looked at Rong Ruo's writing with a dull look of indifference.
Seeing that Rong Changning didn't want to mention this matter again, it was not easy to talk about it anymore, and Rong Ruo glanced at each other, and the corners of his mouth moved, but the words still did not come out.
Finally, he reached out and took out a box and handed it to Rong Changning: "I brought it back for you." ”
But Rong Changning didn't reach out to pick it up in person, but motioned for Xiao Dong to take it to himself, and when he opened the box, he saw that it was a fine jade wolf, and the color of the pen was dull but not turbid.
"A good horse with a good saddle, you write well, Danqing is also good, this is a good match for you." Saying that, he looked at Rong Changning so stupidly.
"Such a good thing, it took a lot of thought to leave the resentful brother, right?"
"As long as you're happy, it's worth it."
Xiao Dong and Rong Ruo looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that this white general had no intention, and it was worth entrusting him to leave the grudge.
Unexpectedly, Rong Changning turned the lid of the box and handed it to Rong Ruo: "Ah Ruo's brother didn't know what to do on his birthday last year, and he didn't come to Beixun for a long time, so this should be a gift to Ah Ruo, and it should also be an atonement." ”
Rong Ruo was very happy to suddenly receive such a good wolf, but it was not easy to accept it directly when he thought of the grievance, and held the pen and reminded Rong Changning in a low voice: "Second sister, this is ...... Isn't that okay? ”
This time, she completely understood what Rong Changning meant, she was promised to Bai Chuxi by the saint, even if Bai Chuxi was ruthless to herself, she would not look at others again, even if she was resentful, she would keep her due distance.
With a sigh of relief, he turned his head and said to Rong Ruo: "It's okay, you take it well, and I will make amends." I don't dare to forget your birthday this year, otherwise I'll have to take another wolf out of the house. ”
After saying that, a few people laughed, and got up: "I promised Uncle Rong, and when I came back, I would go to the main courtyard to play chess with him, so I went first." ”
Rong Changning nodded, got up and watched the grievances leave the house.
Estimating that people were out of the courtyard, Rong Ruocai opened the box and stared wide-eyed: "It's really a good thing." Second sister, why don't you keep it? I usually send some things to my brother, and you take them all! ”
"You're all sitting here, just give me one? I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? ”
"Hi...... What should I be? I won't mind this kind of thing, my brother knows my temper, he doesn't like to write, and he doesn't write well, he won't send this and will definitely find something else. Rong Ruo pushed the wolf in front of Rong Changning: "It's better for you to keep the second sister, it's useless for me to take it." ”
Rong Changning pushed back again: "You still don't understand." ”
"What do you know?" Funny
"You." Rong Changning poked Rong Ruo's forehead: "You don't have to understand anything, just read the things in the book and memorize them to understand." You keep this money, don't you say that a good horse deserves a good saddle? Although your foal is almost meaningless now, leave this good saddle first, and you can use it directly when you gallop the field in the future. After speaking, Rong Changning's knowing Chao Rongruo smiled.
Others can't understand the grievances, but Rong Changning understands it very well in his heart.
He saw that Bai Chuyi only had the little sister of the Yue family in his heart, and saw that Bai Chuyi's personality was rigid and could not be disobeyed, and he had many dreams for three Chinese New Year's Eve, and he felt that Rong Changning's marriage would most likely not be successful, so he gave this wolf, a unique part in the Hou Mansion, wanting to show his thoughts.
But Rong Changning is determined to tie this family together, so he will find a person to transfer this pen to Rong Ruo from the beginning to show his heart. Seeing that he was a little lonely, he should have understood Rong Changning's meaning.
Since then, he has not seen Rong Changning alone, either pulling Rong Ruo, or going to the main house early to wait for Rong Changning to come and invite An for tea.
Even if the two are still talking and laughing as before, it is not difficult for a discerning person to see that the distance between the two people is a little farther. I don't know exactly what's going on, but it just doesn't feel like it used to be.
Li Resentment sat on it and played chess with Rong Chuan, Rong Changning sat behind Rong Chuan and watched quietly, if no one called, Rong Changning would not say a word.
The battle on the chessboard was scorching, and Rong Changning was fascinated by it, so Xiao Dong hurriedly walked in, knelt beside Rong Changning and said, "Aunt Yu from the Lan Courtyard is here, and she said that Miss you should come over." ”
Rong Changning nodded, waiting for Xiaodong to go out before saying to Rong Chuan: "It's also a long time since I talked to the eldest sister, and my daughter wants to go to see the eldest sister." ”
Rong Chuan was interested in the chessboard, and he didn't have anything to say to Rong Changning, so he nodded: "Go ahead." ”
The eldest sister will be busy with the queen's birthday gift, and there is nothing to easily call herself, but she is afraid that she will encounter some trouble. Thinking of this, Rong Changning couldn't help but speed up his pace.
It wasn't until he entered the eldest sister's boudoir that he saw the longevity picture that was about to be embroidered on the embroidery frame torn from the middle, and Rong Changning understood why the eldest sister suddenly called herself.
"Changning." Rong Ling raised her teary eyes: "What should I do?" I've been embroidering day and night, almost half a year......"
Rong Changning stretched out his hand to feel the cracked marks: "Isn't this a scissor scratch?" ”
Rong Ling nodded: "Yes." ”
"Then why is the eldest sister crying?"
"I ......"
Rong Changning called: "Xiao Dong, close the courtyard door and take Aunt Yu to interrogate one by one." ”
"Yes." Xiao Dong took the order and turned around and followed Aunt Yu out.
"Eldest sister." Rong Changning knelt beside Rong Ling and held her hand: "You are the one who wants to be the crown princess, and when the prince succeeds to the throne, you will have to rule the harem." ”
Then Rong Changning picked up the light purple handkerchief embroidered with orchid on the case, wiped away the tears on the eldest sister's face, and said in a slow tone: "Cao Pi beat Sun Quan, Guo Hou lives in Yongshitai, the majestic palace has collapsed in the heavy rain, and she can still sit firmly on Yongshitai." King Chu Zhao traveled, and Queen Zhenjiang stayed in Zhetai. Jiang Shui was so angry that the messenger wanted to take the queen to another place but did not bring a letter with him, so the queen stayed in the palace, preferring to die without moving. The eldest sister wants to be the crown princess, and she will be the latter in the future, and she cannot be compared with ordinary women in terms of courage or courage. Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, he must sit still in the East Palace, and the catastrophe is coming, and he can't frown. You can't throw down tears when you encounter some trivial things. ”
"Hmm." Rong Ling listened to Rong Changning's words, nodded and reached out to wipe away the tears: "That...... What am I going to do? ”
"The eldest sister is smart, she should know what to do." Rong Changning thought for a while and asked, "If my mother is here, what will I do if I encounter such a thing?" Anyway, it's not going to be sitting here crying. ”
Rong Ling snorted and breathed a sigh of relief: "This embroidered surface is completely ruined, and there is no way to waste so much effort." You take Xiaodong to interrogate the next person, and I'll open a small warehouse to see if it's possible to get something else on top. ”
Rong Changning nodded: "Okay." ”
Seeing that the eldest sister was gone, Rong Changning turned around and sat in front of the embroidery frame and picked up the eldest sister's hard work. I don't know how many days and nights the eldest sister has embroidered and how many times she has pierced her fingers.
There is no shortage of rare treasures in the palace, in addition to extraordinary thoughts, what can the eldest sister replace? But the thoughts of these daughters' families are all time-consuming.
Rong Changning stared at the broken longevity chart for a long time, lying on the embroidery frame with his hands on his chin in a daze, looking a little tired and a little sad. Looking at the little bird on the beam, I felt that this house was very depressing, and I wanted to go out of the house and take it outside for a breath.
Fiddled with scissors that looked like a swallowtail in his hand, and he had to think about how to mention the eldest sister to make up for it.
Until Xiao Dong came in: "Miss, let's interrogate with such a big bang, I'm afraid it will startle the snake." ”
Rong Changning turned around and pouted rarely, as if his mother was still around, and said after a long time: "Even if you don't startle the snake, you can't ask anything." In addition to the eldest lady Ah Ruo and her father, isn't there only Lukasa Courtyard left? But we can't say what is what. ”
"That'...... Then we don't have any proof. ”
"This matter can't be known to Ah Ruo for the time being."
"Yes." Xiao Dong suddenly remembered something in his heart, and sat down next to Rong Changning and asked in a whisper: "Miss, do you say that the living person is more important or the person who is gone?" ”
