Chapter 124: Rumors
Who the masked woman she saw in the courtyard that day was, Ah Yu still didn't know.
After the rainy days passed, it was a sunny day when there were no clouds all day long, and the golden crow always fell on the edge of the sky, and the occasional cloud could not stop its heroic appearance.
The back-and-forth between the academy and the other courtyards became more and more unbearable in the summer.
The last ten-month examination in the first half of the year is scheduled after the Dragon Boat Festival, and after the ten-month exam, the college will give a one-month or two-month vacation, and when the students return to the college, it will already be the second half of the year.
Xia Yiyun talked about the other party's Ruyu's concern in the small courtyard last time, and Ah Yu and Fang Ruyu are relatively familiar, and they can also say a few words to each other.
Another one, Yuan Yingwen, whom Fang Ruyu is about to marry, is Wen Huan's friend, and under the twists and turns, he also has a bit of kinship with Ah Yu.
When the academy was resting, Ah Yu returned to Kyoto.
stayed at home for a day, and the next day went to talk to Fang Ruyu.
She looked at the handkerchief embroidered by Fang Ruyu herself, and felt that it was too embarrassing, a pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered into moulted water ducks, and there were cracks on the edges of the handkerchief, as if they were accidentally torn apart by too much force.
“…… Sister Fang came home early, wouldn't it be just for embroidery? ”
Fang Ruyu was also very sad, and said to her: "I don't know where my mother heard the statement, if I have to embroider the wedding dress and futon by hand, where did I make those things!" ”
With a little more effort on my hands, the material of the clothes was torn in half.
Just a few days after she returned home, she gave Huo Huo the fabric prepared by Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang hurriedly went out and bought new fabrics.
Ah Yu thought back to Wen Ru's old memory.
Xu was due to the death of her parents, and no one mentioned it to her before and after she got married, and her wedding dress was also a finished product bought from an outside ready-to-wear store, and it was not even tailor-made.
Now, no matter how good the clothes in the ready-to-wear store are, Ah Yu will also take a look.
Wen Mansion has embroidery girls, and the clothes are made at home all year round, and the styles are unique.
There are some things that really can't be pondered.
Once you think about it, you are guilty everywhere.
Ah Yu covered up many thoughts in her heart by drinking tea, and when she put down the cup, she returned to her usual appearance.
"Is there anything else you say?"
Fang Ruyu let all the maids in the house go out, and she also put down the embroidery shed, "You are still young, and you are not old enough to know this, so let's talk about something else!" ”
If Ah Yu is a few years older, Fang Ruyu can still talk about this topic.
But the little girl is still childish, and her love has not yet opened, so it is not suitable to talk about these things at all.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time Ah Yu has come to see me!"
Fang Ruyu said with some emotion.
Ah Yu smiled and said, "That's because we didn't know each other before!" After getting acquainted with it, you can only visit your home. ”
"Sister Fang had clearly said that she would go home after the exam, but she went home early and didn't say a word to us. A few of us haven't seen Sister Fang in the academy for a long time, so we're all worried! ”
Xia Yiyun said that when Fang Ruyu was not in the White Horse Academy, Ah Yu also swore to comfort them.
said that Fang Ruyu must have returned home first, not an accident.
How firm she was when she first spoke, and how scared she was when she was alone.
Before meeting Fang Ruyu today, her heart had always been on her mind, for fear that she would face unexpected situations.
Fortunately, the Sister Fang she saw was indeed safe and sound.
Fang Ruyu was stunned.
The atmosphere of Kyoto is to be delicate and frail as the standard of beauty, and it seems that Fang Ruyu's natural divine power is not very popular among the ladies of Kyoto.
The lady of the military general's family may be able to take a fancy to her, but her family has been literati for generations.
Civilian-military light.
She can't play with the ladies of the military general's family.
When Ah Yu and the Xia sisters did not study in the White Horse Academy, Fang Ruyu lived alone in that small courtyard, coming and going without one to accompany them, and after a long time, it became a habit.
Therefore, she left the White Horse Academy this time, and she did not inform anyone.
I didn't expect anyone to worry about her.
"I was negligent."
When Fang Ruyu said this, there was a smile in her eyes.
Ah Yu felt her joy, but she didn't know where her joy came from.
In addition to being happy, Fang Ruyu said more to Ah Yu unconsciously.
After a moment of quick talk, she suddenly talked to Ah Yu about the gods and ghosts in the White Horse Academy.
"A, you know what? There is actually a person buried in the White Horse Academy! ”
Buried a person?
Ah Yu inadvertently shuddered, how could she not have heard such rumors.
The hill on which the White Horse Academy is located belongs to the Wen family, and although there is a temple on the other side of the mountain, and there are many homes under the mountain, no one has ever put a cemetery on the mountain. Moreover, over the years, the academy has been rebuilding houses one after another, and the vacant land occupied by the academy has been turned over more than once or twice, and even if there were really people buried inside, it should have been turned out and reburied.
“…… I heard that in the academy, every night before and after the mango planting, you can see a woman dressed in red and wearing a half-mask on her face, squatting on the ground and burning incense and paper. ”
"No one has seen the full picture of that woman yet, but I heard that the reason why she appeared in the academy is because she has a very important person buried in a certain corner of the academy, and every time that person dies, she will appear in the academy and burn incense and paper for that person to comfort the other party's spirit in the sky."
Fang Ruyu took a sip of tea and suppressed the slight panic caused by over-input.
Ah Yu was about to speak, but Fang Ruyu stopped her again: "It's hard to say anything else, but I really saw the woman with the mask." ”
Ah Yu was silent, she had also seen a woman with a mask, still in the courtyard where they lived.
But the garment on which the man was dressed was dark, not red.
"When you saw her, was she really burning paper money in the yard?" Ah Yu asked suspiciously.
Fang Ruyu shook her head: "That's not true, when I saw her, she just stood there and left quickly, and there were no ashes around her." ”
She replied to Ah Yu's words, but did not notice the flaws in the words.
The masked woman was a real person, not an illusion of her.
After Ah Yu returned to the Wen Mansion, he was still guessing the identity of that person.
She always felt that the woman's identity was very important, and if she knew who she was, there were many things that could be solved.
It's a pity that she still knows too little and has no clue at all.
The many setbacks encountered in the outside world, if no one cares, endure it and it will pass.
But if someone really cares, three points of grievance can become ten points.
Home is a gentle township, and it is also a hero's mound.
Ah Yu is not a hero, she is still a child.
Back in the house, Ah Yu went to the courtyard of Mrs. Wen again.
Although she had already returned to Kyoto yesterday.
But she came back relatively late, and Mrs. Wen had already fallen asleep at that time, so she didn't go to say goodbye. Early this morning, she went out to visit Fang Ruyu again, and the time to say hello to Mrs. Wen was postponed to now.
It is said that a baby is conceived in October and a child is born in September.
In two or three months, Mrs. Wen will almost be in the day of production.
When Mrs. Wen arrived in the courtyard, Mrs. Wen was sitting in the hall to enjoy the coolness, and the ice basin was placed at the door of the window, so that when the wind blew from outside, it could blow a little cool air into the house.
Mama Liu and the other two Yahuan who were a little eyed stood behind Mrs. Wen and fanned her.
When Ah Yu entered the door, he almost stepped into the ice basin.
She looked at the sweat on Mrs. Wen's forehead, and asked very puzzledly: "I heard that people who are pregnant will be more afraid of heat. There is no shortage of ice in our house, so my mother will take a few more ice basins and put them by her side, won't it be much cooler! ”
The wind of the Yahuan fan is all hot air, where can it compare to the cool air naturally emitted by the ice basin!
Mrs. Wen just smiled.
Mama Liu said: "The doctor said that although Mrs. is pregnant, she can't be too greedy. Ice basins are used too much, and it's not good. ”
Ah Yu nodded, she actually didn't understand it.
But since it's the doctor's words, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it!
She bypassed the ice basin at the door and sat down beside Mrs. Wen.
The doors and windows in the hall were all open to the outside, but there was not much wind today, and Ah Yu sat in the room for a while, and felt that it was too hot to be able to do it.
Of course, it could also be because she walked back from outside.
If you take two more steps under the sun, it will be too hot.
“…… It's rare for Ah Yu to come back! In a few days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the academy should also have a holiday. Mrs. Wen smiled and talked to Ah Yu, feeling a little uncomfortable.
After a few days of not seeing him, Ah Yu lost a lot of weight.
Ah Yu has always had the problem of bitter summer.
In the past, she had already taken Ah Yu out for the summer, and she would not leave to rush back until the end of July.
But now she can't go far, and Ah Yu has to stay in the academy until after the Dragon Boat Festival, she still has to think of other ways, and she can't watch Ah Yu lose weight like this.
Ah Yu sat on the chair and said with a smile: "After the college is closed, my grandfather, my brother and I will all come home, and then Ah Yu will come to see my mother every day, and my mother can't dislike Ah Yu when she turns around!" ”
The smile on Mrs. Wen's face was even stronger, of course she wanted to be able to see Ah Yu from time to time.
It's just that although she wants to focus on Ah Yu, the actual situation does not allow her to do so.
Ever since she became pregnant, Mrs. Wen had felt that her forgetfulness had become more serious, and she occasionally became overly emotional.
The little girl spent a few days with her, but it was okay.
If you get along day and night, it's easy to get into some accidents.
She was full of sorrow in her heart, and she was still smiling on her face: "What you said, my mother may have disliked your brother, but when did she dislike you, you are really a little conscienceless!" ”
Mrs. Wen nodded at Ah Yu's forehead and smiled angrily.
Ah Yu smiled obediently, rubbed next to Mrs. Wen, and did not open her mouth to refute.
Mrs. Wen said to Ah Yu: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, Ah Yu, you were sick again some time ago, and even Doctor Yang said that you are weak and don't need too much ice. ”
The little girl in their family has always been pampered, where can she endure the scorching heat!
In Wen Ru's memory, there seems to be such a thing.
Ah Yu thought carefully.
In the summer before Wen Ning was born, Wen Rugu was taken back to his hometown by his brother.
It is said to be the hometown, but it is actually the ancestral land.
It is separated from Kyoto by seven or eight castles, and it is a small county town under the rule of Weizhou.
The small county town is not big, but it is a good place to go like spring all year round.
Wen Rugu was taken by Wen Huan to live there for more than two months, and lived a happy life without restraint.
By the time she returned to Kyoto, Wen Ning was already full moon.
"I'm not running around like my brother, I just stay at home, my heart is calm and naturally cool, it's dog days, and it doesn't matter."
Ah Yu didn't say a word about the summer vacation.
Although she hadn't been to her hometown when she was Ah Yu, in her memory, she had already lived in Weizhou for more than two months, so she didn't have to go again.
Compared with Weizhou, which can go at any time, she feels that Wen Ning, who is about to be born, is more important.
She hadn't seen Wen Ning born before, and she didn't care much about his growth.
This time, she hoped that she could watch Wen Ning grow up, and she would not leave Wen Ning alone.
The family should never be separated.
Ah Yu's careful thoughts, Mrs. Wen San couldn't guess.
She looked at the little girl's ignorant appearance, and her heart softened, or when she finished the summer vacation, she would talk to Ah Shen again, which could be regarded as a surprise to Ah Yu!
After making up her mind, Mrs. Wen no longer mentioned the matter of summer vacation, and instead talked to Ah Yu about the short words of the family.
Follow Ah Yu's words until Ah Yu returns to his own courtyard.
The front foot Ah Yu just walked.
Mrs. Wen talked to Mama Liu about the summer vacation.
"I originally wanted Huan'er to take Ah Yu to escape the summer, but I was worried that the two of them would go out alone and there would be trouble, which is really ......"
When she thought of Wen Huan going out with Ah Yu, all kinds of bad speculations always appeared in her mind.
Mama Liu: "Madame, haven't you forgotten the eldest lady?" ”
Mrs. Wen San was thoughtful.
A few years ago, Mrs. Wen took a pair of children back to her hometown to visit relatives, and replied several times that she was going back to Kyoto, but because of various things, she was delayed, so that she has not been able to come back.
Speaking of Wen's hometown, it is a good place with spring all year round.
"I seem to have heard that the eldest young master is going back to his hometown to pick up his sister-in-law, if he can wait a little longer, he can let Huan'er and Ah Yu go with him."
Although the place where the summer vacation used to be was not in the Wen family's hometown, it was also a good place to escape the heat.
Secretly made a decision in her heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Wen finally decided to wait for Mr. Wen to come back, discuss it with him, and then make plans.
As for Wen Huan's side, there is no need for Mrs. Wen to say it, and he himself will not rest assured that Ah Yu will go out alone.
If Wen Huan knew that Ah Yu was going out, he would definitely ask to follow Ah Yu and escort her.
So there's no need to worry about him.
