XVII (5)

It was only four o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark, and the barriers in the Mingyang Railway Station were already tight. Looking around, you can see three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, all of which are guards with spears on their backs, standing guard in various positions. Pan Qingyan, the captain of the attendants, waited at the train station early in the morning, and saw a car slowly driving over and stopping outside the station. Ruan Hongyu stepped out of the car, she was wearing a plain cheongsam today, her face was not powdered, and even her hair was not like usual, but simply draped over her shoulders.

Several guards stopped her, she looked at Pan Qingyan, and said delicately: "Captain Pan, be accommodating!" I'm going back to Jinling with Qishao. ”

That Pan Qingyan unconsciously shuddered, and then said, "Miss Ruan, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, and don't wait for me to send guards to invite you out." ”

"Phew, originally I thought that only Qishao was unkind, but I didn't expect his subordinates to be virtuous with him!" Ruan Hongyu said as she looked around. Seeing that there were heavily loaded guards everywhere, he said: I heard that Fusang has retreated to Huai'an, and this battle is really beautiful! It's just that I don't know if the artillery fire will go out a few years ago, and Jinling is still panicking! ”

Pan Qingyan listened to her casual chat, but pretended not to hear it. Turning around and about to leave, he heard Ruan Hongyu sigh, "Captain Pan, let me ask you, are you married?" ”

Pan Qingyan frowned unconsciously, and just walked forward. Ruan Hongyu smiled when she saw it, and she didn't have any interest in continuing to talk, but just stepped back and sat back in the car. She casually turned on the headlights, took out a small mirror, and looked at it carefully, only to feel that her face was pale. I asked the driver, "Do you think I like this way?" In the past, I looked at Miss Shen like this, the soup is not watery, is it good-looking? ”

The driver only thought that she was blinded by the lard of Qi Shao, looked at her through the mirror for a moment, and said, "Miss Ruan is dressed lightly, which is also good." Ruan Hongyu heard that he was deliberately flattering, so she closed the mirror with no interest, and said with a sigh: "I don't know about you men, when I sang and commented in the past, those men only loved my deliberately modified face, and they got to know the men of their Su family and Qiao Yunhua, one is moodier than the other, but it is different from the men I know...... You say, is there really a man in this world who doesn't love a woman's good color, but only loves her person? ”

She sighed inaudibly, "After all, this kind of good thing can't fall on my head!" Why should I do what I like? With that, he poured out all the cosmetics in his handbag and melted them while humming a song.

Because she has learned to sing and comment since she was a child, the tune has a little more charm, and she originally gave birth to a good voice, and she sings a cappella at will. It was snowing outside, and it was falling one after another, and the voice of her swimming fish, in this deep winter, I didn't feel a little warmer.

It only took a moment to drive over a few military vehicles, and it was Su Huiyi's bulletproof car that started with it. When Ruan Hongyu saw it, she hurriedly got out of the car, the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow, and she almost fell, but she couldn't care about it. only shouted to Su Huiyi, "Seven Shao, take me back to Jinling together!" Because she had been speaking very directly, Su Huiyi was no longer surprised, so she said: "You are not small, you can chase here." ”

Ruan Hongyu saw that he was not angry, so she said: "I am not only so bold, I can't hide it, I came here today because I have a very important matter to tell you!" ”

Where did Su Huiyi have time to listen to her selling guanzi, so he said lightly: "I advise you to take care of your fancy intestines, your set is useless to me." ”

"I know that Qishao is a decent gentleman, and I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to tell you. Although Fusang withdrew from Mingyang, you still have to be careful about the train line, if you can't get anywhere, some people suddenly pop out, and it's not good to scare Qishao. ”

She said it lightly, but it was a little unfathomable. Su Huiyi knew that she had always spoken half-truths, and seeing her standing there with a smile at this moment, she couldn't guess what she meant. It's just that he was used to being vigilant, and after thinking about it, he squinted at her and said lightly: "Since Miss Ruan wants to go back with me, I don't mind if you take a ride." ”

Ruan Hongyu smiled, "Then thank you Qishao." The guards did not dare to stop her any more, so she raised her chin and made that very haughty look. It wasn't until he walked in front of Su Huiyi that he heard him say, "You'd better not have any ghost ideas, understand?" ”

Seeing Su Huiyi turn to leave, she hooked her lips and smiled proudly, "Seven young people can rest assured." ”

It was noon, Shen Qiangrose and Fang Yuyan went to the second room, it was snowing outside, Shen Qiangrose was uncomfortable, Liu's mother specially put on a velvet cloak for her, but the wind and snow were urgent and cold, she couldn't stand it after only a few steps, seeing that Fang Yuyan had gone far away, she had to keep up quickly.

Xiaozhu kept holding her, and when she saw that her face was pale, she couldn't help but say: "Aunt and grandmother are like this, and you have to go to the second wife, and she is in good health when she catches up with Ming'er, but I'm afraid that you will be seriously ill!" ”

Shen Qiangrose knew that she was concerned about herself, so she said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little afraid of the cold, it's okay." ”

Fang Yuyan was talking to the maid, "Rushing over every day, why do you say that the second aunt is not good at all?" Haven't you been drinking Chinese medicine? ”

She said to herself, but when she turned around, she saw Shen Qiangrose walking slowly, and couldn't help but say, "When people are sick, you are also sick!" Don't come out if you're scared, it's a real trouble! ”

Shen Qiangrose just pretended not to hear it, and followed her quickly. Most of the Overseer's Mansion was covered in snow, and everything in its path was white. It's just too empty and quiet, and only the sound of footsteps on the snow creaks. Fang Yuyan thought about the recent rumors in the house, and only felt panicked in her heart. Besides, Shen Qiangrose was frightened in the blue sky and daylight, and when she walked in this secluded place, she became more and more afraid.

When I looked around, I saw that Shen Qiangrose's face was extremely poor, her eyes were faintly blue, her lips were also pale, and she didn't look like she had any spirit. She only felt that there must be some evil in this person, but such a funny idea, she was afraid of being laughed at when she said it, so she couldn't help but be afraid and walked quickly towards the second room.

Originally, the road to the second room was not far, but Fang Yuyan was afraid, so she didn't take the shortcut, and only walked around to a crowded place. I walked like this until I reached the verandah in the south, which is the only way to the second room, and several people walk every day, and they are already familiar with the road. Red lanterns hung on the porch, swaying with the cold wind.

Shen Qiangrose just went up to the verandah, and then she heard Fang Yuyan's maid's small voice "ah", she couldn't help but pause, raised her eyes to look, and saw that the red lantern suddenly caught fire. Small clusters of flames rose, and in a trance, the voice of a woman singing a song was heard. The voice was soft and soft, as if it were ringing in my ears. A light sweat broke down her spine, she grabbed Xiaozhu's hand tightly, and walked forward without saying a word.

Xiaozhu was caught by her and was in pain, so she asked in a panic: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" ”

She calmed down a little, and saw that Fang Yuyan was also looking at herself in surprise, but strangely the voice stopped abruptly. Turning to Xiaoyin, he saw that she was holding a lantern in her hand, and said, "This wind is too strong, so it's good to blow down the lanterns." ”

She looked closely and saw that the lantern was not on fire, it was just her delusion. She shook her head weakly, "I'm fine. ”

During this period, several people did not speak again, but fortunately, they went out of the verandah, and walked only a hundred steps to the courtyard of the second room. These days, because the second aunt is too infected with the wind and cold, the maid in the second room is naturally careful to serve, and she is silent when she goes in and out. There was agarwood burning in the hall, and when she smelled it, she didn't feel a little tired, Shen Qiangrose slowly walked inward, and entered the bedroom of the second aunt.

There were only two maids guarding the room, and the second aunt was leaning on the edge of the bed and drinking medicine. When he saw the two of them, he smiled, "Didn't I say I didn't have to come over?" In this cold winter, you two are filial. ”

As she spoke, she handed the bowl out. After the maid Xi'er met the two of them, she took the bowl and went to the door. Shen Qiangrose only felt a strong smell of medicine coming from her nose, which was extremely pungent. She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and saw that there was still some black medicine in the bowl.

"Rose?" When I came back to my senses, I saw that my second aunt was waving to me and asked, "Why are you stunned?" ”

Fang Yuyan, who was already sitting on the edge of the bed, said with a smile: "Recently, she has always looked like this, absent-minded, and she doesn't know what kind of demon she is." ”

The second aunt glanced at Shen Qiangrose carefully and said, "Good boy, why is your complexion so bad?" Have you seen a doctor? ”

Shen Qiangrose walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said, "I'm like this when I get to winter, and I can't lift my spirits. It's fine after the New Year, nothing happens, no need to see a doctor. ”

Fang Yuyan sneered, "I've only heard that animals want to hibernate, but I didn't think you were like this, what's wrong?" Shen Rose had long been accustomed to her cynicism and didn't take it seriously. just asked the second aunt, "Is my aunt feeling better?" ”

The second aunt sighed, "This person, once he gets old, his body is not easy to get better." You say, it's just a cold, but it's not good after so many days! ”

Fang Yuyan said: "It's all done, my aunt is worried too much on weekdays, just take a good rest when you have this free time, the second brother and the third brother will take care of the affairs in the house, you can take care of it." ”

Shen Qiangrose glanced at Fang Yuyan quietly, seeing that she was not leaking when she said nice words, she only thought she was arrogant and willful, but she didn't expect that she would also talk to people, and talk nonsense. She was thinking about it when she saw Xi'er come in with two cups of tea. From afar, I smelled the fragrance of Longjing. Xi'er took a cup to Fang Yuyan first, and then took another cup and handed it to her. She took a look and saw that the tea cups were all pastel ruyi patterns, with a light carcass and a pure glaze.

She lifted the lid, and the hot air mixed with the fragrance of tea rose up, lingering around the tip of her nose, which was very pure and good. The second aunt glanced at her and said, "It's weirdly cold outside, so don't toss and stay here for lunch?" ”

Naturally, it was not her turn to call the shots for this kind of thing, so she looked at Fang Yuyan, saw her nodding, and said, "Okay, I just want to try the skills of my aunt's private chef here." ”
