Chapter 51: Plum Wine
Haitang called Ji'er and Shuang'er in and told them that she was going to go out over the wall with Duanwang, Ji'er was so nervous that she couldn't do it, but Shuang'er felt that it was no big deal. Begonia asked Frost to sneak out and wait for her outside. Ji'er turned off the lights and pretended that the girl had slept.
Begonia opened the window, and after a while, Xie Ruijiao flew into the window like another gust of wind. Ji'er was startled, and whispered with Shuang'er: "Lord Wang~" Xie Ruijiao nodded at them, hugged Haitang's waist, and went up the wall in two clicks and jumped outside.
Frost couldn't jump on it, and slipped out the side door. Ji'er stuck out her tongue, gently covered the window, and closed the door again, hoping that the girl and Shuang'er would come back soon.
When she arrived outside Cheng's mansion, Shuang'er saw Ling Yun waiting for her: "Sister, you said that the speed of the prince is ...... Will you be able to go back to the palace soon? ”
Shuang'er grinned and got on Lingyun's horse, and followed the prince to Lianyun Pavilion. Lianyun Pavilion had already closed its doors to thank customers, and Shopkeeper Li was smiling toothless, waiting for them.
"Lord Wang, girl, please sit down, and the food will be served. Do you want to drink two glasses? ”
The prince took off his robe and sat down, looked at Haitang and said, "Then have two glasses of green plum wine, and let the girl taste your craftsmanship." ”
"In the future, if you don't have enough food outside, I'll make you something to eat when you come back." Haitang asked with concern: "Is the palace always not allowed to eat full?" ”
Xie Ruijiao smiled: "Yes, I only eat one or two bites of each dish, for fear that people will know that I like to eat like that, a group of people standing next to me, all holding their breath, where can I still eat happily?" Begonia looked at him sympathetically.
"By the way, I have something for you!" Haitang said happily and asked Shuang'er to bring a cloth bag: "I have been preparing since I returned to Kyoto, and I have checked it twice in the past two days, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Xie Ruijiao couldn't think of what it was, so he took the cloth bag and opened it to see that it was a bound album of all kinds of common plants in the wild, divided into poisonous, edible, and directly medicated. Each one is painted with flowers and leaves, and the hairpin flower is annotated next to it.
His heart seemed to be filled with happiness and was about to explode: "This, I said it in Yueling, do you remember?" ”
"I remember, because that's about you." Begonia's eyes smiled crookedly.
Xie Ruijiao walked over, pulled Haitang up lightly, hugged her in his arms, looked at her and said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to take it step by step, so that you have time to understand me, and let you fall in love with me as much as I love you, but now, I really don't want time to slow down so much, as long as you give me a little bit, I will give you everything." ”
He lowered his head and gently kissed Begonia's forehead.
Haitang hugged him back, put her face on his chest, and whispered: "Does it take to love someone very slowly, very slowly?" But I always feel that I have loved you for a long, long time. ”
Xie Ruijiao heard her words, and couldn't help but feel that the past and the present love came to his heart together. Really, it's been very slow, waiting for this person who gives to each other and has two hearts, he has been waiting for two lifetimes.
I don't know how long it took for the two to hold hands and sit down again.
"Ling Yun, aren't you hiding there and still calling for food?" Xie Rui shouted without replying.
There was a lot of smiling downstairs for a while, and a few people came up with a smile on their faces. Ling Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "We thought that you were full, Lord Wang......"
Begonia blushed. The smile on Xie Ruijiao's face was almost unbearable: "You talk too much, go downstairs and wait!" ”
A few people hurriedly rolled out happily.
This night, Xie Ruizhu and Haitang didn't sleep well, maybe because of the two glasses of green plum wine, maybe, just because, as soon as they closed their eyes, the other party's face was in front of them. Xie Ruijiao didn't expect that he would be so lucky in this life, he loved her, and it just so happened that she loved him too.
Tossing and turning until dawn, Begonia fell asleep in a daze.
In the old lady's room here, Aunt Pan is giving her aunt eye medicine.
"Auntie, look at the child of Begonia, it's too unruly, I heard that she slept without eating last night, and now she hasn't gotten up yet!" Aunt Pan was helping the old lady make porridge, "She has no rules like this, others will not say that the mountains are uneducated, but that our Cheng Mansion is uneducated." ”
The old lady was also a little impatient: "She doesn't have a mother, and you, who are a concubine, should also teach her." ”
Aunt Pan immediately put down the porridge bowl and knelt down: "Aunt pity me!" Haitang has never taken me seriously, even if I am not my mother-in-law, I am also your niece, her cousin, pity me as an elder and have to whisper to her......"
The old lady sighed: "It's also an unlucky child." She is not near us, we are far away from her, and you owe her nothing. After the New Year, I found an ordinary family for her and married with her. ”
"What my aunt said is," Su Yun stepped forward to help Aunt Pan get up, "Go back and promise to marry someone, even if she is a little confused, people will not dare to come to find our mistakes." It's still my aunt who thinks about it. ”
"I'm pitiful for your master, and I got these three children! You're alone in the house...... It's no wonder that you refused to persuade him to say two words, if you had accepted two more people in earlier, and there would have been more children, and you wouldn't be spoiled like this. ”
Aunt Pan listened, pretended to wipe her tears, and resigned from the old lady.
When Aunt Pan entered her room, she angrily lifted all the account books on the table to the ground. worked hard to serve her aunt, but her aunt not only didn't think about her, but even thought about Cheng Yu in her heart!
"The second lady is angry, and the old lady just said that, what's worth it for you to spoil your body like this?" Gui Zhi hurriedly picked up the account book and said with a smile: "You weren't there just now, Steward Cheng has already come to ask." ”
Aunt Pan looked at the account book in a daze, took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and slowly sat down on the Taishi chair:
"You go and call Steward Cheng, I still have some numbers to talk to him."
