Chapter 177: A Visit from the Old Man (1)

What did the moon do, when it was getting late and the twilight was falling, Ruoxi didn't come up with a reason, and sat on the chaise longue in a daze, as if the afternoon was just a small dream of yellow sorghum on her weekdays, very illusory. For things that he can't think clearly, Ruoxi is unwilling to spend so much energy and energy on it. Simply push the window in front of the window, the beautiful scenery outside the window comes into view, outside the window has passed the season of spring and Jingming, now it is almost midsummer, the shade of the trees hangs down the silk, the blue sky and white clouds, the birds sing green, in pairs shuttle back and forth between the green willows, dripping chirping, like the most beautiful picture.

Peaceful and beautiful, the corners of Ruoxi's lips quietly hooked a little arc, for this quiet life, she felt satisfied and relieved from the bottom of her heart. She has longed for this kind of life for a long time.

Xiaoxiao ran in with a small plate, "Report to the princess, Your Highness is accompanying His Majesty the Lord to discuss state affairs in the Heart Cultivation Hall today, and he will come back later for dinner, His Royal Highness called Baoyan to come over and spread the word, saying that the princess will eat this first if she is hungry." She brought the small plate herself and winked at Ruoxi.

Ruoxi looked at her ridiculous appearance, shook her head, and looked at her plate, it was a few snacks, and when she saw the snacks, she remembered the conversation and scene of the month in the afternoon, and she had a burst of nausea for no reason, and pushed his plate, "I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat later." ”

Xiaoxiao said "Hmm", "This is disgusting when you see a snack, right?" The slave understands. She playfully removed the plate, but the person did not leave, and said in a low voice, "Or can't eat without His Highness to accompany you?" ”

"What a poor girl!" Ruoxi slapped her in the face with a smile, laughed and screamed in pain, before jumping to the other side, and suddenly raised her eyebrows again, "But, speaking of which, that princess of the moon is annoying enough, she is happy to stay for half a day without any trouble?" Ah, did she bully you when I wasn't in the house? Xiaoxiao said as if he suddenly realized.

Ruoxi shook her head, "How can it be, she also knows the general situation now, she will be the princess next month, and she will live with me in this Forgotten Soul Palace, how can she do anything excessive to me again." Even if you do it, you have to wait until she actually moves in. Ruoxi shook her head indifferently, although she didn't talk about Xiaoxiao and Ning Xiang in the days that followed, she knew very well that it was not something that could be described by the word "sad".

"Hey, Your Highness said this, didn't you say when you will come back?" Ruoxi held her cheeks, looked at the lower and lower sun outside, and sighed. Since he said that she should wait for him, she should come back for dinner in the evening, right? Ruoxi speculated wildly, and heard a laughing giggle, not serious, "Look, I just said that someone can't eat because the house slave is not His Royal Highness, you are here, the princess is really smiling and smiling!" ”

"Your Highness actually said something else, does the princess want to listen to it?" Xiaoxiao deliberately played tricks on Guanzi, Ruoxi also deliberately ignored her, and then she couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Okay, just say it quickly, don't sell Guanzi, I'm still waiting." ”

"Ahem, His Royal Highness said that you must take care of the princess and not have too many things at night, otherwise it will be uncomfortable at night. Hey, Your Highness is going to be uncomfortable again this night, what do you mean? Xiaoxiao looked at Ruoxi as if she didn't understand, but when she saw that Ruoxi's noodles turned cyan, and then turned red, Ruoxi swallowed her blood desperately, and didn't let it squirt out, this Wei Sa really dared to say anything to his subordinates, where was she uncomfortable because she ate too much, she was because she was ...... That one...... It's uncomfortable!

What a shame and indignation! Ruoxi blushed, twisted her neck forcibly, didn't look at Xiaoxiao, looked at her with a smile, and seemed to suddenly realize "Oh", and then she also blushed.

"Sister Ruoxi." She suddenly changed the topic, and even the title changed, Ruoxi was shocked, she knew that when Xiaoxiao called her so seriously, it was Shirakawa who had news. She turned her face back to her, "Something?" Xiaoxiao nodded, escaped from the paper in his sleeve, and handed it to her, "Butler Bai gave me this when he left, and asked me to pass it on to you." It's really strange, Butler Bai obviously came to meet you just now, why didn't he give it himself? "Isn't that redundant?

Ruoxi was stunned, Bai Jiang has always been very strict and cautious in doing things, and if he does this, there must be a reason for him to do so. Unfolding the paper full of creases, Ruoxi saw a few dazzling words written on the paper at a glance. After a hurried glance, he looked at it again with anxiety, which made Xiaoxiao turn on the light and put the letter on the flame to burn it.

"Sister Ruoxi, is something wrong?" Xiaoxiao saw that Ruoxi's expression was different, and hurriedly asked.

Ruoxi smiled coldly, "It's not a big deal, Xiaoxiao, you go and prepare dinner, and wait for His Highness to come back." ”

"What about you?" Xiaoxiao watched Ruoxi get up and find a coat to put on, so he asked, Ruoxitou would not answer, "I'll go out for a while, I'll come back soon, you can prepare your own meal." I will be able to come back before His Highness returns, so you can relax. With that, he hurried out the door.

Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot, scratched her head, and cleaned up the ashes of the paper on the ground, this Sister Ruoxi is really mysterious and mysterious day by day, I don't know what I'm busy with, and she asked Bai Jiang, Bai Jiang didn't say, just told her that she must be loyal to Bai Ruoxi, because he himself is loyal to her, which also makes Xiaoxiao even more strange, what is the reason why this lazy and lazy idler Bai Jiang is so subservient to a little woman.

However, what she hoped now was that Ruoxi would be able to rush back before His Highness returned, so that she would have to explain for her.

***

A separate courtyard, another summer mood is coming.

The lotus flowers in the lotus pond are not as lush as in other courtyards, but there are a few lotus leaves floating sporadically, and even a decent lotus flower has not yet come out, and the light pink color makes people know at a glance that it is not a good seed, but a lotus flower that can be seen in ordinary farmland.

Along with this lotus pond, the surrounding scenery is also ordinary, and the grass has also been trampled out of a bare and winding path, which makes people feel cold to see.

In such a courtyard, who would have thought that the person who lives now is actually the former lord of Furong County, and the current princess of Jing'an-Wei Furong?

But in fact, this is Wei Furong's current residence, or rather, she has been confined here for more than two months.

When she was free and left the Lengxiang Palace, it was the time when she Wei Furong entered the courtyard, which was really a happy family and a sad family.

Ruoxi sighed softly, and had to sigh that the world is impermanent, and the sky that is obviously a sunny day can be replaced with dark clouds in the next moment.

Stepping on the unattended dust of the yard, Ruoxi had already arrived at the gate, saying that it was the gate, but it was just a dilapidated door panel with red paint remaining, she couldn't bear to knock on the door, in fact, she was also afraid that the door of this house would break if she pushed it. Just outside the door, a low voice called, "Anyone?" ”

There was a slight movement in the house, as if someone was dissatisfied with the sound of resentment, and the sound of some behemoth stepping on the ground, Ruoxi was startled, I heard Shirakawa tell many ghost stories when she was a child, could it be that she really met some monster that became a spirit today?

She was thinking wildly, the door panel was unceremoniously opened, the dust on it fell in a flutter, Ruoxi deftly dodged back, and the dust fell on the face of the person who opened the door, "Who!" Ah! Poof! Ruoxi looked at the ball-like woman screaming loudly, spitting out the dust and sand in her mouth, and couldn't help laughing, the woman was busy for a long time before she could take a look at Ruoxi, and when she saw her, she was slightly stunned, pointed at her with a hand, and stammered, "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

Ruoxi smiled slightly, seeing that although this woman was chubby and round, she looked honest and honest, not as bitter and mean as the guy who came to Fu, and suddenly had a little good feeling in her heart, she reached out and kindly plucked a yellow greasy grass seedling on her head for her, "This sister, I'm Bai Ruoxi, I came to see the people inside, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

"You're going to see Princess Jing'an? She really has a lot of guests these days. Let's go in, it's really not very convenient, but you don't look like a bad person, so you can go in and stay for a while. The fat woman packed up her clothes, pointed to the room, and kindly reminded, "There are two nails on the ground, you have to be careful." ”

"Nails?" Ruoxi asked rhetorically.

The fat woman plugged in the wooden bolt on the door and followed into the house, "Yes, there were two beds on the ground, and one was removed, but these fixing nails were not cleaned up, you be careful, the princess was pierced the day before yesterday." ”

Ruoxi nodded, and as she walked inside, there was a smell in the house that was difficult to breathe, not a smell, nor a sour smell, but a strong smell of something moldy and mixed with the kind of moldy smell that only exists in Jiangnan, which made people smell and vomit. Ruoxi frowned, this place was no better than the Leng Xiang Palace where she had stayed.

It's really hard to see how Wei Ying made up her mind to lock up such an arrogant woman in such a place.

The people in the room had apparently heard their conversation, and when Ruoxi entered, she saw Wei Furong sitting facing the wall, one hand awkwardly trying to close her disheveled hair.

Ruoxi didn't go any further when she came in, and between her and her, there were two abrupt iron nails, and a step away.
