Chapter Twenty-Four: Her Home
In the middle of the night, Yu Luoxi slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her groggy forehead, reminding her of what happened in the afternoon. The eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and the consciousness gradually became clear, and the sound of insects outside the window came and went, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.
The moonlight shined through the lattice, it was quiet, she sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then got up and groped her way to the table, and found the fire fold by the moonlight, and after the stinging sound, the small flame slowly ignited, dispelling a small piece of darkness around her, and she lit the candle on the table, and the whole room was slowly filled with candlelight. Suddenly, an imperceptible light smile appeared on Yu Luoxi's face, which looked very good under the flickering candlelight.
Looking at the candlelight, in a delicate porcelain bowl on the table, smoke rose and gushed out, reflecting the hazy in front of Yu Luoxi. Needless to say, it must have just come out of the kitchen. Yu Luoxi chuckled and picked up the porcelain bowl, the smile on her face became more and more obvious, needless to say that she knew who this thing came from, and a warm feeling spread from the palm of her hand.
Yu Luoxi was about to drink, the door was suddenly squeaked open, it was funny, the door was pushed and stopped twice, like a person returning from the night, afraid that the noise would break into the house and disturb the master's dream. When the door was only halfway open, I saw that Yu Yuexi walked in with a tray, and there was smoke rising on the tray, and if you looked closely, it was a delicate porcelain bowl. Seeing that Yu Luoxi had woken up, the panicked expression on her face gradually stretched, put the tray in her hand on the table, raised her hand to put the porcelain bowl in Luo Xi's hand, and couldn't help but take it away questioningly, and replace it with the bowl she had just served!
Luo Xi looked at her and smiled even brighter.
The two sat opposite each other but were speechless, Luo Xi slowly pecked at the decanting soup while blowing lightly, and Yu Yuexi suddenly spoke.
"He's gone"
Yu Luoxi put down the sobering soup in her hand and looked up at her, feeling a little inexplicable in her heart, she drove him away, of course she had her own sense of proportion in her heart.
"All gone"
Yu Luoxi put down the spoon and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, with a hint of seriousness in her expression: "Yuexi, don't think about it." He just has what I want, that's all! ”
Yu Yuexi didn't answer, and she didn't know if she listened, but just urged her to drink well and go to rest.
What Yu Luoxi didn't expect was that after she finished drinking the soup, Yu Yuexi did not leave, but offered to stay together like a child, and Yu Luoxi gladly accepted. The two of them played for a few hours, and the sky turned white, and the thick sleepiness finally made them sleep.
Years of work and rest habits made Yu Yuexi wake up suddenly after sleeping for an hour, she tiptoed into her clothes and closed the door and left.
She went to turn over all the medicinal materials drying in the yard, and those that were dried were also ground in half of them, and they were neatly stacked in porcelain bottles and placed in the medicine box.
The people in the village told Yu Yuexi that they saw Ah Gou take a few people down the mountain yesterday and have not come back yet. She asked a few more subordinates, but she hadn't seen Ah Gou and his party today. Yu Yuexi faintly felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but be a little flustered in her heart!
After thinking about it, she sent a few people to hide near the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she had to report any disturbances immediately! Yu Yuexi anxiously walked around the courtyard at the main entrance, from early morning to noon, there was still no news, and Yu Yuexi became more and more nervous.
……
Yu Luoxi was woken up by a quick knock on the door, she was wearing a middle coat and rubbing her worried eyes, and she didn't have time to tidy up her messy hair before she opened the door, and asked almost dreamily, "What are you doing?" ”
Yu Boya mysteriously said that there was something to give her, but she had to wash up quickly.
When he opened the door again, Yu Luoxi seemed to have changed back to his usual style, but he didn't shake a folding fan in his hand.
Yu Luoxi asked him what it was, he always refused to tell her, only said that this thing could not be spoken, and he had to see it in person, and he didn't care whether she wanted to or not, so he covered her eyes with white silk, helped her to get into the carriage, told her not to withdraw secretly, and then quickly got on the carriage and galloped.
The carriage drove to the gate of the villa, and Yu Boya shouted to Yu Yuexi: "Sister, I will take Luo Xi out for two days, don't worry!" ”
The carriage sped by, the wheels rolling, and the dust was flying.
Yu Yuexi's shout, which had not yet exited, was fixed at the gate with the hand that wanted to stop the carriage, and after a long time, she waved her hand in the direction where the carriage was going. She thought that she should be able to handle this little thing.
It was an hour's journey, the carriage finally slowed down, walking slowly, although Yu Luoxi was blindfolded, but when he heard that the car was very lively, he couldn't help but itch in his heart, but as soon as his hand touched the silk, Yu Boya's whispered reprimand, as if he had a pair of eyes on her in the back of his head, she could only give up.
She was bored with her fingertips looping around her hair, silently counting the number of turns of the carriage. After about the seventh turn, after a few hundred paces, the carriage came to a sudden halt, and he led her out of it, led her to her feet, and reached out to untie the silk silk from her eyes.
The word "Yu Mansion" hanging high on the gate in front of him made Yu Luoxi a little distracted, and looked at Yu Boya in disbelief.
His posture was straight, like a pine and cypress.
"Your own home, do you like it?"
Outside the high and deep courtyard wall, surrounded by green willows, the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, the plaque is hung high, and the black golden silk nanmu is inscribed with the vigorous and powerful word "Yufu", which is warm and solemn.
As he spoke, he pulled Yu Luoxi into the courtyard, passed through the gate, three hanging flower gatehouses, and copied verandahs on all sides. The Yonglu in the courtyard is connected with a sea of flowers, the gravel is dotted, at the end of the Yongdao of the sea of flowers, it is the sparkling Jinghu water, the water surface is full of lotus flowers, the lotus is deep, a pavilion stands on the water pavilion, there is a plaque "Moon Viewing Pavilion", on the other side of the pavilion, there are white stone slabs paved on the wooden bridge, across the lake can pass to the opposite bank.
The whole courtyard is full of flowers, elegant and chic, she stands in it, as if wandering in a fantasy world, relaxed and happy.
Stepping into the north-facing weeping flower gate, a lush and sturdy ginkgo tree with crooked branches occupies the open space in front of the eaves, and the swing hangs among the vigorous green leaves, gently swaying with the wind, full of poetry.
Yu Luoxi's fingers flicked the white jade chessboard on the stone table, disturbing the black and white chess pieces with clear boundaries.
Yu Boya smiled meaningfully.
He took her to open the door, and in the room, there were everything from the big case of the bed and the curtain of the pear blossom to the small inkstone, pen and ink, bronze mirror, and Huadian.
She suddenly understood why he had become a miser.
Not to mention the title deed of the house, the landscaping and furnishings along the way have cost him a lot of financial and material resources. She was very distressed by this, and she knew that all of these things were carefully selected for her.
"Boya, I like it very much, but I don't want you to be tired of running around for this, all I want is for you and Yuexi to be safe and smooth, next to me, I don't care!"
