Chapter 11: Ugliness
Lu Hongbin squatted down, let An Yue lie on his back smoothly, and confirmed that he was stable, he stood up and walked towards the inner house to the west.
Shuying lost his soul and generally followed behind, preoccupied with the situation that night, who could care what other people thought of them.
"Just now, I see where the adults seem to be protecting, are you hurt?" She wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some news.
Lu Hongbin replied: "I was accidentally injured when I practiced martial arts, this is a common thing for Jinyiwei, and today I also went to the doctor to get medicine, who knew that he was not there...... Thank you Shadow Girl for your concern! His face flushed a little, and he lowered his head to stop talking.
She felt that he would not be so ashamed to talk to a woman. When I was suspicious, I realized that because I took the streamer to bandage An Yue just now, my clothes were a little messy; When I touched my head, the bun was a little loose, and the hairpin was inverted and slanted, and it was not in shape. hurriedly walked to the side to tidy up before she settled down.
"How could Miss Anyue be bitten by a snake? The grass and flower snakes on Yangshan Mountain feed on rats and never take the initiative to bite; Unless a person is standing directly in the grass of the forest and inadvertently stepping on a snake. ”
"Perhaps......" She recalled the scene, where they were not grass, and An Yue had been staring at the window of the gatehouse, not moving for a long time, let alone stepping on anything.
Besides, why wasn't he who was bitten?
Lu Hongbin asked An Yue if she had ever touched the fishy object, and An Yue said that when she was fetching water outside the house in the morning, she stepped on a wild cat and took fish at the door of the house, and her shoes were stained with some dirty blood.
It turned out that snakes would be attracted to bloody gas, so it was not surprising that An Yue was bitten by a snake.
He sent the two of them to the gate of the small courtyard and said, "Girl, be careful! Lu Hongbin thanked Miss Xie for comforting Master Hou, so that I could fulfill my filial piety in front of the Ninth Uncle's spirit! ”
Shuying stared at Ming Hongdao and thought for a moment, and Zhengse said slowly: "The gentleman is sensitive to things and cautious in words, and he wants to be an adult who always accompanies the Son of Heaven, and he understands this best." Don't forget, adults, Hou Ye values flesh and blood affection, and also attaches importance to discipline and etiquette. It is precisely because you called the ninth uncle of the deceased husband that I persuaded the Hou Ye to forgive the words and deeds of the adult, if the adult still does not know how to advance and retreat, no aunt in the house will be able to help you. ”
Lu Hongbin didn't expect her to react like this, and made a pun, rejecting his kindness every word, so he had to push away in embarrassment: "It's inconvenient for me to stay here longer, so I ...... leave."
She thanked Lu Hongbin and helped An Yue walk in slowly.
An Yue walked up the stairs step by step, bared her teeth and said, "Girl, I think Master Ben is a good person, how can you be so cold to him?" Fang didn't even have a good face! ”
"If you weren't hurt today, would you have almost forgotten that someone was going to work against us?"
An Yue will not forget. But if the girl has been helpless in the Hou Mansion, she will still be bullied in the future like today. Master Penang's back is very broad, which makes me feel very relieved. He was looking at you stupidly all the way, and it was for you to ask those maids not to chew their tongues before, and I saw it in my eyes. Maybe he's just a good snuggle? ”
She had already thought through An Yue's careful thinking clearly, knowing that she just liked Lu Hongbin, and she actually wanted to find a reason for herself to get along with Lu Hongbin.
"Are you dazed by hue? If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I can't protect myself, where can I have the leisure to take care of others? ”
An Yue was annoyed and ashamed, sobbing loudly and complaining: "The girl is too selfish and narrow-minded! When Jinyiwei copied the Xie family, the girl swore to be the enemy of Jinyiwei, this is the villain's opinion, I don't know how to do it! ”
"How did I ever say that I would be an enemy of the Jinyi Guard?"
She saw that An Yue insisted on making trouble, but she had no choice but to go outside by herself to calm down for a while. When I looked up, I saw a person at the gate of the courtyard.
"How do you ......"
Lu Hongbin was still standing in place, with a bitter smile on his face, looking at her quietly. I think he heard all the words of her and An Yue. Shu Ying was confused for a moment just now, and before he could explain to him that he wanted to repay him for helping, he was already very reluctant to go, and this time he heard what he said just now, and he really couldn't wait for the other party to speak.
She was about to explain when he turned and left.
Looking at the moment when Lu Hongbin left silently, Shuying felt that he was the most cowardly and useless person in the world.
She returned to her room in solitude, and Pear came up to change her clothes and comb her hair. "Sister An Yue is so angry! I don't even dare to mess with her......"
"She fell in love with a young man." Shuying took off her coat, and only then did she remember that her streamer was still tied to An Yue's ankle.
"That's a good thing! What girl doesn't have a spring? ”
Near noon, the sky was hot again, and Liluo draped her in a light moon-white gauze shirt, and the water blue of the main waist of her waist was hazy and revealed.
"What if she likes someone she shouldn't?"
Liluo took a bottle of osmanthus head oil, moistened the grate, and slowly combed the sparse and smooth hair, "No liking lasts long." For example, if the girl likes the smell of osmanthus today, she may be disgusted with it tomorrow and like gardenias; Or if you apply it today, you won't apply it tomorrow, and it will be tasteless in the future. ”
Shuying suddenly brightened, "You want to say, don't be entangled in the moment, just go with the flow?" ”
Liluo replied with a smile: "I'm clumsy, I can't find the key point, and it takes a long time to explain the things that I can understand, and the girl only uses one sentence to make sense!" ”
Sometimes Shuying will also walk into a dead end, and she envies the transparency of the pear fall.
In the afternoon, Xiuqin came to visit her again, and asked the maid to bring the knee qin that Shentu Zhentuo's father gave to Sister Ying.
She knew that it must be Shentu Zhen who was suspicious of the Hou Mansion, and instead of sending letters, she sent objects. Sure enough, she found a letter in the sheet music that came with the piano.
The letter said that he was very surprised when he first saw that it was a letter sent by Lu Suiyun, and then saw that the inner page was a family book written by her, which added to his doubts, fearing that she had been made by others, so he asked Lu Yang to confirm that he learned that his daughter often had contacts with Shuying, and she was in good health recently, so he put his mind at ease. He hoped that she would reply with this method to make sure that she was safe.
In addition, Shentu Zhen said in the letter that Hou Fuyan invited He Jianheng to come to see the children of the Huaiyong Hou clan during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and test their knowledge and morality in the form of lectures, which seemed to be to prepare for Hou Ye's selection of a son. At that time, all the major sects and celebrities in Jinling City will come, and he is also among them. He told her to come dressed in men's clothes, or else he would pick her up immediately.
Shuying couldn't cry or laugh after reading the letter. Shen Tuzhen has become more and more childish lately, suspicious, always worried that something has happened to her.
"Last time, I laughed at my sister's brother for not writing letters, but I didn't expect to send such a valuable object this time, it seems that he really cares about you!" Xiuqin quickly helped her tune the piano, and couldn't help admiring, "This piano has a clear timbre, and the style and color are extremely delicate and beautiful, if it is my piano, I can't wait to put it on the incense table to worship!" ”
"The origin of my knee harp, which is also funny, is made of paulownia wood left over from my brother's piano! At that time, I was still very angry and asked my aunt why I could only use what he had left. The eldest lady said that I was still too young to reach the thirteen emblems on the piano. Later, I learned that although it came from the same paulownia tree, the wood at the upper end was better than the lower one, but it was impossible to make a three-foot-six-inch qin. ”
