Chapter 193: Being Taken Advantage of
Lu Yue was a little inexplicable when she heard this, and as soon as her left hand moved, she pasted something hot, and Lu Yue's left hand retracted suddenly.
The fragrance of food slowly came out, making the gluttonous worms in Lu Yue's stomach scream. She pursed her lips and endured it, but then she thought about it, no, I'm afraid this well-behaved and gentle image is long gone, otherwise where did this baked cake come from?
Lu Yue didn't say much, reached out and touched it and picked it up.
The hot temperature made her a little unstable, but she was reluctant to put it down.
That little expression was like a greedy little mole.
Hua Rongqing's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, her eyes were crooked like a crescent moon, with a little brisk smile, and a satisfied look.
Maybe because it was too hot, her fingertips holding the baked cake were slightly red, and from time to time she blew the steaming baked cake, one bite after another, the mouth was stuffed with bulging bags, and all at once, the mouth could make a cheerful sound when eating a baked cake.
Hua Rongqing looked a little funny, he had never seen a woman dare to do this, and she could eat so comfortably in front of a man?
His thin red lips evoked a charming smile, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be a little teasing, and it happened that Lu Yue's dark eyes looked over.
Hua Rongqing was slightly stunned for a while, and when she reacted, she picked up the teacup to cover up a thing or two, and just took a sip of tea when she saw Lu Yue's misty eyes.
The whole person suddenly woke up, and a little bit of thin red climbed up the base of his neck.
At this moment, Hua Rongqing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Lu Yue couldn't see it, otherwise......
I don't know when, in the hall, the sad tune is no longer played, faintly the sound of the guzheng sound, the tune is light and bright, like flowing water, like a clear spring, like a deep pool, rapid and soothing, when it is light and ethereal, when it is low and hoarse.
After the completion of a piece of guzheng, there is a feeling of lingering sound.
Hua Rongqing gave a look, and the guard went down quickly, and not long after, a man who looked like a steward walked in.
"What do you command?" The steward bowed.
Hua Rongqing stroked his sleeve and said after a long time: "I played it well, but in the second part, the overlapping part was slightly slowed down!" ”
The tube was stunned for a moment in advance, and then hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Childe, thank you Child~"
"Reward~"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the guard come up a few steps, and took out a purse from his bosom, and handed it to the steward.
The steward took it with both hands and pinched a handful of silver in his purse, looking like he was amused.
Hua Rongqing waved her hand, and the steward hurriedly retreated.
At this time, Lu Yue was full of food and drink, wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at the direction of Hua Rongqing, and her eyes were serious, "Thank you~"
This thank you contains too many indescribable emotions in it.
Thank you for not bothering me last night?
Thank you for having someone buy me a pancake today.
Hua Rongqing's heart is also very complicated, in recent days, his heart has been inexplicably shrouded in a trace of inexplicable emotions, and he has come out from time to time, making people tickle like a hundred claws.
Hua Rongqing shook her head, and after noticing that Lu Yue couldn't see it, she immediately whispered: "It's just two pieces of silver for baking cakes, can't I afford it?" ”
"No, no......" Lu Yue waved her hand again and again, and her slightly pale face turned red with embarrassment.
Hua Rongqing coughed lightly, breaking up the peace of the room.
The two listened to the sound of the piano quietly, occasionally saying a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious and not embarrassing.
At first, Lu Yue was a little embarrassed, but later it sounded comfortable and brisk, but the two of them were not so restrained, and Lu Yue was a little presumptuous when she spoke.
After chatting, Lu Yue realized that the boy in front of him was simply an all-round character, from poetry and song to music, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, this person was proficient in everything.
The two of them talked, you and I said, and the whole afternoon passed quickly.
Hua Rongqing saw a trace of tiredness crawling on Lu Yue's little face, he told Lu Yue to take medicine and rest well, and then got up and left.
The noisy street corners, all kinds of shouting and shouting, the air was filled with all kinds of smells, the food was steaming hot, Hua Rongqing frowned slightly, and the guards hurriedly protected Hua Rongqing when they saw this, not letting others touch them, and several people left in a hurry.
Hiding in the shadows are two sneaky little guys dressed as people.
"Hey, look, let's go, let's go~"
"Well, I'll go back and tell the master, you're keeping an eye here."
"Good~"
A figure quickly disappeared into the crowd, and no one noticed.
The blue brick paving stretches to the end of the road, the walls are blue glazed tiles, the vermilion door is wide open, and a long middle-aged man stands by the window in the house.
His eyebrows are dark and straight, his eyes are deep, his goatee is slightly puffed, and he is neatly trimmed, and he does not look old at all, but reveals a bit of the elegance of a mature man.
He was playing with a string of Bodhi bracelets in good condition, a full eighteen, each of which was delicate and ingenious.
A series of clear footsteps came, and a person flashed in and saluted, "Master, the boy has left." ”
The middle-aged man's hand moved, and his lips moved slightly, "Hmm~"
He glanced at the box on the table and raised his eyes, "Take that box." ”
"Yes~" The little guy hurriedly stepped forward and carefully picked up the gold wooden box on the table with a hollow carved golden phoenix.
A sedan chair hurried out of the mansion gate and headed towards the town's Lichun Courtyard.
Lu Yue stood in front of the mirror, and her peach face was puzzled: "Miss, are these going to be dismantled?" ”
"Ah~" Lu Yue yawned lazily and hummed lightly, in order to see the son, Mother Jin couldn't wait to get all the hairpin and jade rings in the jewelry box on her head.
If she hadn't objected to it, her neck would have stiffened by now, how could she still sit here?
"Well, it's all demolished~" Lu Yue resolutely demanded, she was really sleepy, she wanted to sleep beautifully, with these hairpins and golden hairpins, how could she sleep?
The peach had to be removed one by one, and according to Lu Yue's instructions, she called Qing Shui to serve Lu Yue to wash her face, and the servant went to the bed to rest.
A sedan chair stopped at the gate of Lichun Courtyard, a middle-aged man got off the sedan chair, he glanced at the little guy next to him, and the little guy hurriedly followed.
At this time, it was not yet night, so this huge Lichun Courtyard was a little deserted, except for the small maids who were cleaning in the hall and a few courtesans who were hanging their throats, there were basically no people in sight.
The little guy at the door caught a glimpse of the figure, and suddenly said a little angrily: "Hey, guest officer, you went to the wrong door, right?" How can anyone go to Lichun Courtyard in this broad daylight? ”
They only opened their doors at night.
The next moment, he smiled at the corners of his eyes, the cold eyes under his eyes, the little guy's body suddenly stiffened, and the corners of his mouth opened instantly, and said, "Hey, it's .. It's Cheng Daren, please please hurry~"
The impatience on the little girl's face instantly changed to a face full of surprise, and he enthusiastically invited someone to enter the door.
Cheng Yuanwai glanced around with his eyes, and the Bodhi bracelet twisted in his hand turned twice, "Where's your mother Jin?" ”
"Back to the distinguished guest, my mother is resting upstairs~" The little guy said respectfully.
"Go, please come down Mommy." The clerk glanced out and sat down in a chair beside him.
"Okay~" The little guy hurriedly went upstairs.
Upstairs, Mother Jin was packing up her small vault, when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and she hurriedly reached out and locked the cabinet door of the small vault.
There was a knock on the door, and Mother Jin said impatiently with an impatient look on her face: "What's the matter?" ”
"Mom, Master Cheng is here." The little guy said.
Mother Jin's expression changed slightly, at this time, why did Cheng Daren come here? She reached out and stroked her bun, "Here we go!" ”
The two went downstairs, and Mother Jin greeted her with a smile, "Oh, distinguished guest, why is Cheng Dayuan free today?" ”
Cheng Yuanwai, who was sitting, put down the teacup, glanced at his eyes, and said lightly: "What?" Kim Mama is not welcome? ”
"How can there be, how can there be, Cheng Yuanwai is really good at laughing~" Mother Jin smiled again and again, and when her eyes swept to the little girl next to her holding the wooden box in her arms, her eyes flashed slightly.
Cheng Yuanwai glanced at it and did not reply.
"Go and call Sister Bai to come down~" Mother Jin said.
The little guy listened to Mother Jin's words and was about to leave, but heard a deep voice "No need~"
Cheng Yuan moved the beads in his hand, glanced at it, and carefully put the wooden box on the table.
Cheng Yuanwai stretched out his hand to open the box, only to see a lifelike jade Wufu jade Ruyi on the soft brocade cloth.
Mother Jin looked shocked, the glow in her eyes, the appearance of stretching out her hand to touch but not daring to touch, and muttered in her mouth: "This... How much is this worth? ”
The corner of Cheng Yuanwai's mouth sneered, he didn't care how much silver it was, he glanced at Mother Jin who couldn't wait to stick to it, and said lightly: "This is for Miss Yue'er~"
Mother Jin froze with joy on her face, was stunned for a moment, turned around and sat next to Cheng Yuanwai, and secretly wondered in her heart, this Cheng Yuanwai wouldn't be in love with that blind man, right?
She thought about it, last night this Cheng Wai was also there, and she called the price several times in a row, I'm afraid that if it wasn't for the boy who came out of the sky and shouted a thousand taels of gold, there were many people, maybe the blind man had fallen into the hands of this Cheng Wai.
Mother Jin took a leisurely sip of the teacup and said, "I don't know what Cheng Yuanwai means?" ”
Cheng Yuanwai smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Mom is a smart person, so I don't need to say more." ”
"This...."Mother Jin had a slight embarrassment on her face, holding a teacup, I don't know what to do, this Cheng Yuan is a big family in Aoki Town, and he is also friendly with the prefect of Nazhou County, which is not easy to offend.
But the boy didn't look easy to get along with, and Mother Jin fell into a dilemma for a while.
Cheng Yuanwai glanced at Jin's mother, as if he knew her difficulties, and said, "Mom just needs to match." ”
Mother Jin's eyes rolled twice, and the corners of her mouth brought a little smile, "Okay~"
Cheng Yuanwai's eyes glanced slightly, and the little guy next to him immediately offered a bag of silver.
Mother Jin accepted it with a smile on her face, and ordered someone to take Cheng Yuan out to Lu Yue's boudoir.
She pinched the silver in the bag, the corners of her mouth became more and more curvature, the little blind man was really right, she was really a cash cow, look at how many taels of silver have been loosened to her in this day.
Upstairs, the little maid took Cheng Yuanwai to the door of a quiet wing room and stopped.
"Outside Cheng Yuan, this is Miss Yue'er's house~"
"Hmm~" Cheng Yuanwai nodded slightly, he stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were a little happy.
"Knock knock~" The door was knocked twice.
