Chapter 222: Hope

At this time, it is not yet winter in Kyoto.

The cold of the night has already begun to appear.

Ah Yu hugged the quilt in his arms tightly, and waited from night to dawn little by little.

The autumn chill crept in through the gap in the cage, and the feet rubbed against each other, and I didn't feel much pain except for a little cold.

She patted her forehead, the force of her hand was a little heavier, and a large red patch on her forehead instantly appeared, but it also woke her up from her drowsiness.

The first light of the morning had already crossed the night, and even if there were no lights in the room, the scene inside the house became much clearer when the sky was getting brighter.

Ah Yu subconsciously reached out and touched his ankle, feeling the warmth of his palm, and there was no sign of damage.

She lifted the brocade quilt covering her body, and the feet she saw were indeed normal, not quite the same as what she saw in Wen Ru's memory.

I wasn't hurt!

Being able to reduce a portion of pain is naturally a good thing for Ah Yu.

But she couldn't figure out the reason for this good thing, and she didn't know if it would affect other things.

You must know that everything in the world is interconnected, and you have to move the whole body, and who knows what will happen if what is supposed to happen here does not happen!

Thinking about it like this, the joy in Ah Yu's heart also faded a little, she would rather be in pain for a while more than let the good situation in front of her have an accident again.

There were already people walking around in the yard, and the sound made while walking woke up the puppies under the eaves, and the barking of the dogs was like thunder in the yard, and those who woke up and those who did not wake up were noisy.

Aoba hurriedly put on his coat, and before he even had time to take care of his appearance, he hurried out of the room.

Under the eaves put together yesterday's kennel, said to be a kennel, in fact, it is just a boxy wooden box, only temporarily used as a place for puppies to sleep, the serious kennel has been ordered to prepare yesterday, about this evening can see the finished product.

The same hurried things will only be used in the transition time, but they are much more decent than the wooden boxes they have now.

The puppy sent by Xie Huai'an was lying on his stomach in the wooden box, staring at the little maid who was about to clean up in the yard and barking.

This is more lively than yesterday when I was in Chunhefang.

Aoba came to the puppy's side and whispered, "Don't bark anymore, the girl is still resting now, if you wake up the girl, she will be uncomfortable all day today......"

Where can the puppy understand human speech, but when it sees a familiar human approaching, it naturally stops the sound.

Although it didn't bark loudly anymore, it still stared at the little maid in the yard seriously, and as long as the other party approached its warning range, it would stretch out its claws and grab the wooden box on the side, which was even more harsh than the barking of a dog.

After a few times, the maids in the yard knew that they should not get too close to Ah Yu's door, otherwise the puppies tied under the eaves would be noisy.

Ah Yu listened to the sound outside the door, looked at the direction of the window again, and suddenly remembered that he had never slept all night.

The headache was terrible, but there was still sleepiness surging up, and even when she fell asleep, her brows were furrowed.

When I woke up again, it was already the time of the sun.

Although the people in the courtyard didn't know that Ah Yu hadn't slept all night, no one bothered Ah Yu, so Ah Yu made up for another sleep.

Failed to follow the routine and disrupted the original habits, so that when Ah Yu woke up, she had a little idea of not knowing where she was, she pinched her eyebrows and shouted Aoba.

After a while, Aoba and Aoba came over with hot water.

Aoba put the things in his hand on the pear wood square table on the side, and looked at Ah Yu with a smile: "The girl got up late today, but she didn't sleep comfortably last night, or let the slave maid or Qingrui keep vigil for the girl tonight!" ”

She knew that her girls didn't rest well, usually because they had nightmares at night, but over the years, the girls didn't like to have people around them to keep vigil more and more, and every night after waking up from the nightmare, they got up alone and lit the lamp, which made them useless.

Ah Yu closed her eyes and let Qingrui wipe her face with a warm handkerchief, and after a while, she rejected Aoba's proposal.

She looked at Aoba: "Didn't my mother let people come to me?" ”

There should be none.

If Mrs. Wen sent someone to find her, she would not deliberately wake her up, and nine times out of ten she would inform Aoba or Aorui, and let them mention it after she woke up.

But after Aoba saw Ah Yu, he didn't mention the third lady Wen, so I guess no one came to find Ah Yu.

Aoba whispered back: "Madame let people put a carriage early this morning, saying that she was going out to meet friends......

The matter of going out to meet friends was decided early in the morning, maybe Mrs. Wen didn't know that Ah Yu had received a dog at home at this time!

She is the most at ease with Ah Yu.

Even if she is very concerned about Ah Shen because of the past when Ah Yu fainted for no reason, she is unwilling to let Ah Shen be as worried as them, so she is always careful and careful in the matter of Ah Yu, at most, she just asks the maid ring next to Ah Yu to find out the news, and she will not deliberately let someone guard Ah Yu.

Fragile treasures cannot be guarded with care.

But people can't be treated the same.

Ah Yu was a little relieved to hear that Mrs. Wen was not at home, after all, she hadn't figured out how to explain the puppy in her yard to her mother.

She knew that if she said that she wanted to have a dog, her mother would not say that she would not allow it, but she always felt a little awkward.

When she went to visit her grandfather's house with her mother, there was a small dog in her uncle's yard, and she was not very old at that time, but she was not the kind of little girl who would run around.

But her mother was always worried about her, and she specially asked her uncle to send the thin dog outside to live in Zhuangzi for several days in advance.

If she told her mother that she wanted to raise a dog, she would feel a little sorry for her uncle.

The thin dog was raised by my uncle after he was injured, and my uncle had a deep affection for it, but because of her, he sent the dog away for a long time.

Ah Yu sighed, kept the matter in mind, and said sorry to his uncle if he had the opportunity in the future.

Apologizing is not necessarily because you really did something wrong, but you just feel that you owe something, so you should apologize.

After a belated breakfast, Ah Yu locked himself in the study.

Wen Rugu's foot was injured last night, and the injury Wen Rugu received should have appeared on Ah Yu's body at the same time, but Ah Ru waited until dawn, and there was no wound on her body, as if the connection between her and Wen Rugu was inexplicably broken.

But she knew it wasn't that simple.

Only then did she think of writing down all her experiences yesterday on a piece of paper, and she listed all the things that happened between morning and night sleep on rice paper, and circled them with a vermilion pen on the things that seemed very problematic to her.

Ah Yu thought that maybe she had done something special yesterday that would have led to this result.

The first thing in the circle is to climb the wall, the courtyard walls of Wenfu are all built high, only the one she climbed yesterday, there is a tree in the yard that can be borrowed.

Ah Yu drew an extra circle next to him, thinking that he could find time to try again next time.

Then I looked down and saw the names of Pei Yin and Su Mingzhe.

She had met with these two people before, and had eaten together, but at that time she had not yet realized the connection between herself and Wen Ruyu, and she didn't know if she had also broken off the connection at that time.

Ah Yu thought for a moment and wrote a pending next to the names of the two people.

She felt in her heart that it had nothing to do with these two people, but it was not difficult to write two more words, if she missed any important clues, it would be a big deal!

If she can really break the connection between her and Wen Rugu, I can't say that she will be able to hope more in the future.

Shaking his head and tossing aside everything that hadn't happened yet, Ah Yu continued to draw circles on the paper.

Speaking of which, the most important thing she did yesterday was to go to Chunhefang to get a gift from Xie Huai'an, and she also brought back a puppy from outside, and I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter.

The ink color and red on the rice paper accounted for half of each half, and Ah Yu silently recalled Wen Rugu in his memory, but unfortunately Wen Rugu had no other obvious wounds during this time except for spraining his foot.

After Wen Rusu's foot injury was healed, he married into Duanfu.

Her first New Year in Duanfu was not good, and it almost foreshadowed her later fate, everyone else's New Year was happy, only she was wrapped in thick clothes, huddled in the room to bake the fire, obviously she had already paid attention to her body, but she fell ill when the New Year came.

In other words, if Ah Yu wants to verify the variables he made yesterday, he will have to wait until the New Year to verify one of them!

As soon as Ah Yu raised her hand, she pressed the rice paper under her hand into the inkstone, her hands were full of ink, and all the words written on the paper turned into a puddle of ink.

Qingrui heard Ah Yu's summons, and after pushing the door open, she saw Ah Yu rubbing her hands back and forth.

She was stunned for a long time, barely suppressed the exclamation in her throat, and asked Ah Yu in a low voice: "Which song is this girl, isn't it that she is going to learn from the painter outside and want to paint with her hands?" ”

There was a time when it was true that it was popular to paint with your hands in Kyoto, but the girls said that the ink was hard to wash on their hands, so they didn't try it.

Ah Yu paused, she thought that it might be because she didn't sleep well last night, so she would do such an unbelievable thing at this time.

Can she say she just wants to clean up the table!

In the past, the paper on which she wrote would be burned by a brazier or candle.

However, it was daytime, and there was neither a lamp nor a brazier in her study, and she thought that there was a lot of writing on the paper, so she was going to draw another layer of ink on it, covering the handwriting she had written earlier, and then she pressed the rice paper into the inkstone with a quick hand.

At that time, she also found it very convenient, much faster than drawing little by little with a brush.

Even the sequelae are quite big.

Ah Yu smiled at Qingrui and didn't speak.

Qingrui saw that Ah Yu's sleeves didn't know how many ways he had placed in the inkstone, went out and brought water, washed Ah Yu's hands, and accompanied Ah Yu back to the room to change his clothes, but unfortunately the ink was really not easy to wash, and he washed back and forth several times with the pancreas, and Ah Yu's hands were washed red, and there was also a little mark.

Xu is because he has a little more expectations for the future, and Ah Yu's suppressed childish temperament on weekdays suddenly burst out.

Putting rice paper in the inkstone was a thing of the past, and she took advantage of the fact that Mrs. Wen didn't notice her, so she took her newly-raised puppy around.

Because puppies can't climb walls, she always walks through the main entrance with someone.

After going out, there is no fixed place to go, so I just go out and hang out.

Aoba came to the kennel with the food for the puppies from the kitchen, the silver dog bowl was placed in front of the kennel, she reached out and patted the wooden kennel, obviously saw the dog chain extending into the kennel, but did not see the puppy run out.

She stood by and waited again, feeling that something was not quite right, and leaned down to look twice into the kennel.

It was pitch black inside the kennel, and I couldn't see anything.

Aoba reached out and pulled the dog chain again, the dog chain under his hand was fluttering, and all of a sudden it was pulled out, and the end of the chain was empty, and the puppy that was originally encircled didn't know where to go.

She glanced at the dog food that was still on the floor, and turned to go to Ah Yu's room.

Sure enough, I saw Ah Yu holding the puppy and feeding.

"Girl, have you forgotten the taboo on dog raising written by Young Master Xie again?" Aoba persuaded Ah Yu to put the puppy down, "Although the dog sent by Young Master Xie looks very cute, but in another month or two, it will be almost the size of an adult dog, not to mention ten catties, the girl is used to holding it now, if it is still in the girl's arms, how can the girl hold it!" ”

Ah Shen looked down at the little cutie in his arms, the little cutie didn't understand Aoba's words, it saw Ah Yu staring at it, and thought that Ah Yu wanted to play with it, so he rubbed Ah Yu's hand very obediently, and whined quietly.

"But Fubao has been in Wenfu for more than ten days, and it still looks so small and exquisite," Ah Yu stretched out his hand to comb the puppy's hair, and some were reluctant to put down the plush in his arms, "Maybe Fubao is a particularly compact dog, there are dwarfs in people, and there can be dwarfs in dogs!" ”

This kind of thing can be done as long as you think about it.

Aoba asked himself if he couldn't argue with Ah Yu, and only said: "Fubao is still young now, and no one knows what it will look like when it grows up." But the lady already knows that the girl has raised Fubao, and I think that I will have to ask the girl for questioning in the near future. ”

"The girl may think that Fu Bao is well-behaved and lovely, but it is a beast in the end, didn't the girl always say that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, you don't want Fu Bao to be sent elsewhere because he hurt you!"

Ah Yu sighed, she did have this worry.
