Chapter 024: Qin's Red Jade
Seeing that the woman in white seemed to be about to wake up, Huai Sleeve hurriedly moved to the woman's side, and was about to speak, only to see the woman's hands suddenly waving wildly in the air, shouting: "Go away, don't touch me, go away, go away......"
Seeing this scene, Huai Sleeve knew that she was in a nightmare, reached out and clasped the woman's waving hands, and called softly: "Girl, girl, wake up, wake up!" ”
The woman's hand, when it was held by her sleeve, may have sensed the warmth coming from her palm, and immediately calmed down, her eyes moved, and she opened her eyes slowly.
At this time, Rong Ruo and Huang Sanye also came over and gathered around the woman.
When the woman in white first woke up, her expression was still frightened, and she looked at Rong Ruo's face one by one, and finally, her eyes stopped on Rong Ruo's face, and she asked softly, "I, where am I?" ”
Rong Ruo saw the woman looking at him, so he smiled lightly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, this is the Nanyuan hunting ground." ”
After hearing this, the woman slowly sat up, looked around, and suddenly saw a royal guard standing next to her, and she grabbed Rong Ruo's arm in shock, and begged repeatedly: "Don't catch me, I didn't make a mistake, don't catch me, don't catch me......"
Huai Sleeve, Huang Sanye and Rong Ruo glanced at each other, expecting that this woman was frightened. Huang Sanye turned around and waved his hand to the guards standing behind him, motioning for them to stand farther away. Then he said gently to the woman: "Don't be afraid, girl, they are not here to arrest you." ”
When the woman heard this, she slowly raised her face between her arms, looked at the guards again, and calmed down a little.
Rong Ruo saw that her mood was calm and asked, "Girl, where is your home?" How can you be alone in this wilderness? ”
The woman looked at Rong Ruo, slowly lowered her eyes again, her slender neck moved slightly, and whispered, "Can you give me some water to drink?" ”
Huai Sleeve heard this, hurriedly took the water bag from the side, found a cup and poured a cup, handed it to the woman, the woman held the water cup, thanked Huai Sleeve slightly, and drank the water in the cup in one go.
After drinking the water, the woman seemed to be much more energetic, returned the cup to her sleeve, eased her breath slightly, and said softly: "My family's surname is Qin, and my name is Hongyu." Originally from Yuebi County, west of Jinling, because of a fire next door last year, along with my family burned to ashes, helpless, my father and mother sold a few acres of thin fields, went to the capital to join my uncle, who knew that on the way my father was sick, and he went to the capital before he arrived. At this point, Qin Hongyu's eyes were already covered with two pools of mist.
Huai Sleeve poured another glass of water for her, Qin Hongyu took the water cup, bowed her head lightly to Huai Sleeve, and continued: "My mother buried my father with only silver and took me into Beijing, and our mother had to rely on my uncle to live, who knows, my uncle was contaminated with gambling, the family was in debt, and the leather goods shop he earned earlier was also given, where is there spare money to support my mother and me, my uncle saw that I was young and undecided, so he had the idea of selling me to a brothel......" Qin Hongyu said this, already with tears in her eyes.
With sleeves in their arms, Rong Ruo and Huang Sanye couldn't help but sigh secretly when they heard Qin Hongyu roughly describe their life experience.
Huang Sanye asked, "Then why did you come to this barren mountain and mountain alone?" ”
When Qin Hongyu heard this, her tears became more and more turbulent, her thin body trembled slightly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Uncle dragged me into the brothel, and the old bustard locked me in a room and forced me to pick up customers, but I didn't comply, and she didn't dare to fight, for fear that she would not be able to sell it at a good price if she hurt her skin, so she asked someone to stab me with a needle. I had nowhere else to go, and I did not dare to stay in the city, for fear of being sought and caught by the people of the brothel, so I went out of the city, and chose a secluded place to go, and I did not know how far I went, and came here......"
After speaking, Qin Hongyu whimpered and cried again.
Huai Sleeve listened to it very unbearable in his heart, and took out the silk handkerchief in his sleeve and handed it to Qin Hongyu.
After asking the reason, Huang Sanye asked the guards to get some barbecue meat for Qin Hongyu. At this time, the sun has gradually moved to the west, where the forest is deep and thick, and a few people are afraid that there will be a fierce beast after nightfall, so they get on their horses and go home.
Qin Hongyu was injured on her foot, so she shared a horse with Rong Ruo, she was riding a horse for the first time, and she was very scared when she sat on the horse, so she tightly wrapped around Rong Ruo's waist, and her face was also tightly attached to Rong Ruo's back.
Rong Ruoyuan didn't like Qin Hongyu to be so close, but he felt that she was pitiful, so he let her go. Huang Sanye didn't have anything, but seeing that the two of them were so intimate, he didn't feel pantothenic acid in his heart, and turned his face to the side, becoming more and more unreasonable.
On the way back, Rong Ruo asked Qin Hongyu, who was sitting behind him, "Miss Hongyu, do you have a place to go?" Shall I send you back, or will I give you money to hire a chariot and a horse? ”
Qin Hongyu only lowered her eyes, her face was melancholy, and she shook her head and said, "I can't go back to my uncle's house, and I have no relatives to go to......"
Huang Sanye smiled at Rong Ruo and said: "Your house is so big, what is there to raise one more person, let her be a maid in your house, just add two dishes and chopsticks." ”
Rong Ruo heard Huang Sanye say this, so he had no choice but to respond, and glanced at Huai Sleeve out of the corner of his eye, but saw that Huai Sleeve's expression was slightly gloomy, and his face glanced to the side, as if he was displeased, Rong Ruo sighed in his heart: I have to explain to her another day.
On the way back to the city, Qin Hongyu always clinged to Rong Ruo's waist, and her face was always close to Rong Ruo's back. The horse galloped, one was handsome and clear, the other had long hair like a waterfall, delicate and delicate, and both of them were dressed in white, looking like a pair of intimate couples.
Huai Sleeve looked at the two of them dazzlingly, so he simply rode his horse and ran in front, and only then entered the city gate, he hurriedly said goodbye to Huang Sanye, and without looking at Rong Ruo, he went back to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.
When he returned to his embroidery building, he stepped into the door with his sleeves in his arms, and buried his face in the bed.
Su Er and Xue Yan thought that they would be in a better mood when they went out for a walk in their sleeves, but they didn't expect that they would be more angry now than when they went out in the morning.
"Little Gege is hunting for something new today, tell us about it!" Snow Goose soaked a warm water hand towel and asked with a smile as she waited for her sleeve to wipe her face.
Huai Sleeve was holding his breath in his heart, thinking: Even if he is afraid of riding a horse, he needs to take into account the etiquette and teachings given by men and women, and the public is wide, then Qin Hongyu can't wait to rub his body into Rong Ruo's body, hum! The more you look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes.
Just thinking about this, she heard Xue Yan ask her this, so she puffed up angrily: "Fight a fox spirit!" ”
Su Er happened to come in with a tea tray and a few plates of snacks, and when she heard this, she laughed with the snow goose.
"Whoever is fighting a vixen, show me the freshness!"
Su Er and Xue Yan were laughing, but when they heard this voice, they hurriedly knelt down to the door and said, "Ergege is auspicious!" ”
