Chapter 74: Before the Flower and Under the Moon
The night breeze is slow, and it has added a bit of warmth in the middle of spring.
Seeing that the two of them were going to speak seriously, Zhengming and Citron both took a few steps back, and Fu Yi noticed it, but before she could stop it, she looked up and saw Zhu Rong approaching her, she was really reluctant to move her steps, so she simply stood still.
"Later, I heard about it, the daughter of the Min family has always had two faces, and it is not once or twice that she bullied her sister-in-law." Zhu Rong didn't seem to be excusing his sister, but sure enough, the brothers and sisters in this family are harmonious and friendly, and they can't allow outsiders to bully, he said, "You don't have to worry about who you have formed a bond with, they have not been on good terms with each other for eight hundred years, and she Min Qianjin can't get used to it, not to mention our Zhu family." β
Fu Yi said: "Although I am the daughter of Xiao Portal, I have never seen a guest so rude in front of the main house, I don't blame Yunzhi for protecting the young lady, I just regret that I was impulsive." β
"Are you impulsive?" Zhu Rong is not very convinced.
"I help Yunzhi on weekdays, and occasionally tell lies in front of the second lady and the second master, which is not true or false, but it is just a change of words, so that the father and daughter, mother and daughter can be calm and have fewer misunderstandings and contradictions." There was also a bit of anger and disgust in Fu Yi's eyes, "But today I was in a hurry to excuse Yunzhi, and I didn't want Min Chulin to instigate the second lady to find her, so I said the words of the round in a hurry." Although the man didn't argue face-to-face, he was afraid that he would turn his back and tell the truth, I didn't care about my reputation, I was afraid that I would hurt Yunzhi and say that I taught her badly. β
Zhu Rong smiled: "If that's the case, Yun'er's girl, you can't ask for it, it's best for Min Chulin to go to the concubine to tell the truth, what do you say?" β
Fu Yi actually forgot, and this matter, if it really makes the concubine not like Yunzhi, don't want her to be the side concubine of the four princes, wouldn't it be a good thing to have the best of both worlds?
Zhu Rong leaned over and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for protecting my sister." β
Fu Yi was happy in his heart, but he joked in his mouth: "You always talk outside the mouth, reminding me that I am not from this family." β
Zhu Rong smiled and deliberately asked, "Did you hear that?" β
Each other smiled, and there was more sweetness in the warm breeze, and Zhu Rong said: "The matter of Chunmingzhai should have never happened, even if the eldest lady knows, she will choose to make a big deal small, and she will not make a big move, everything is with me." β
"Yes, I wrote it down." Fu Yi said.
"That girl wants to cut off with you, let her think about it overnight and understand, not to mention the old lady to enlighten her." Zhu Rong said and asked, "I'll watch a play in Dongyuan tomorrow, will you come?" β
"I don't know yet, I don't really want to go, and I'm afraid that the second lady will be unhappy." Fu Yi said, unconsciously clenched her fists with both hands, her heart was pounding, she plucked up her courage and said, "Citron and Cuizhu both love to watch plays, and I probably still have to take them there." β
After all, she didn't have the courage to say bluntly: Since you went, then I will come too.
But Zhu Rong seemed to be able to hear the voice in her heart, and said: "Tomorrow, there will only be clan relatives and a few colleagues close to the second uncle, and the Min family will not come." β
Fu Yi didn't care: "Whoever comes is the same, and I ...... Irrelevant. β
She said those words more and more lightly, for fear that she would make people look frivolous, but in fact, what she wanted to say in her heart was: As long as you go, it is enough.
Fu Yi felt that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, but the night breeze was warm, so she could only try to calm down, remembered one thing she was curious about, and asked, "How did you send the key back to Mother Wang, have you ever been to Dongyuan?" β
Zhu Rong smiled and said, "Naturally, someone else will send it, will I use some spell to hide myself?" β
Fuyi said frankly: "You are always mysterious, we are ...... on the river"
Zhu Rong made a silent gesture towards her, but it was not as serious and cold as before, at this moment the starry eyes were smiling, the breath around her body was so gentle, her fingers were against her lips, and she gently shook her head to remind Fu Yi not to continue.
Putting down his hand, he said, "You and I are hiding in our hearts." β
"But the last time you said, if it never happened, which sentence should I listen to?" Fu Yi asked about his previous sadness, and he was suddenly in a good mood.
Zhu Rong leaned slightly, got closer to Fuyi, and said more and more mysteriously: "What you saw that day was not me on the river. β
Fu Yi was stunned: "What ......"
Zhu Rong said; "But from now on, all you see is the same me on the river."
Fuyi seemed to be able to hear the sound of her cheeks burning, she hadn't drunk today, where did she get drunk, but this is going to be drunk, she is really going to be drunk.
Suddenly, he heard that there was movement in the Qingqiu Pavilion, and he didn't want others to bump into this situation again, so he hurriedly said nothing, and left with the citron.
Zhu Rong didn't stop, turned around and went to his small courtyard, heard the footsteps behind him, and then remembered that he was arguing and followed.
But this kid was very clever, and waved his hand again and again: "Childe, the little one didn't see anything, didn't hear anything." β
Knowing that he has always been sensible and obedient, and more loyal to himself, Zhu Rong no longer bothered to tell anything, but just as he turned around and was about to leave, he heard Zhengming muttering: "I just said that the earrings can't be sent back for a while." β
"What did you say?"
"No, no, no......" Zhengming smiled evilly, and ran away.
Zhu Rong was too lazy to chase him, and continued to walk slowly, in the warm night breeze, thinking of Fang Cai's smile, his heart seemed to be filled with something, thinking about it, only the words "satisfied".
In the dead of night, the maids who were waiting for Fuyi to wash in the Qingqiu Pavilion all retreated, and Citron Suri slept with the young lady, but tonight she was holding the pillow quilt to leave, and the excuse said: "I went to tell a story to Cuizhu, and I watched the play today, and she was so excited that she was afraid that she couldn't sleep." β
Fuyi stretched out his hand: "Don't go, stay with me." β
Citron smiled: "Miss, you definitely won't be able to sleep tonight, but I'm sleepy." β
"Who said I couldn't sleep." Fuyi stepped forward, put down her pillow quilt, and pulled the citron to sit on her bed.
Citron said, "But I've told Cuizhu that if she doesn't go, she'll ask why." β
Fu Yi didn't agree: "Then you guard me and wait until I fall asleep before leaving." β
"Gee, isn't that going to wait until dawn?" Citron smiled, and was afraid of annoying the young lady, so she hurriedly said, "You lie down, I won't leave." β
"Xiang'er ......" Fu Yi leaned softly on her shoulder.
"Miss, if you're happy, I'll be happy." Citron said, "I don't understand it yet, but I know that you are happy in your heart, and that is enough." β
Fuyi shook his head: "I'm afraid that I read so many books in vain, and in the end I will change my temperament, and I can't care about my parents' words or my family background, and even in his eyes, I have become a frivolous and self-degrading person." β
Citron said: "This doesn't make sense, thousands of miles of marriage are all arranged by God and Buddha, it should be our can't run, if the young lady is a deviant girl, then the third son is not in the world, not just ......"
Fu Yi was listening quietly, but when she saw the citron suddenly stop, she couldn't help but tremble.
Citron smiled, biting very lightly in the young lady's ear: "Didn't you just get on the right board?" β
Fuyi grabbed her hand, shy and anxious, but her heart was happy, from the first encounter on the river, to the aftermath, and Fang Cai's words, it was not that she was amorous, it was not that she wanted to get into it, it was really from the first time I saw each other, there was light in each other's eyes.
"No nonsense." Reading this sentence again, the words are soft.
"Then the young lady has a good sleep, and I'll tell a story to Cuizhu." Citron said, "Halfway through today's play, she's anxious to know what's next." β
Fuyi didn't want Cuizhu to worry about this, so he finally relented: "Go, don't make too late, go to bed early." β
Watching the citron run out with a pillow in his arms, and Fuyi blew out the candle by himself, he suddenly remembered the situation in Chunming Zhai, and remembered the pillow in the quilt on the eldest lady's bed.
The person with a budding spring heart and a hot body suddenly calmed down, blew out the candles one by one, and then returned to the bedside, full of thoughts that could no longer shake off the appearance of the eldest lady's dementia.
She was very annoyed that she had left this matter behind, but she remembered that Zhu Rong had said that he was also investigating the cause of the eldest lady's dementia, which showed that he had also discovered strange things, and he must have seen more than himself.
So I made up my mind and repeatedly warned myself that there were more important things waiting for her and Yunzhi, and that the love of children should be let go, and the eldest lady could not continue to be tortured.
That night, everyone had their own thoughts, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully, and they had to come to Dongyuan to deal with it the next day.
Yun Zhiben didn't want to join in the fun again, but if her grandmother wanted to take her, she didn't dare to disobey.
The old lady enjoyed it for two days in a row, and the second master was overjoyed, and waited in front of him for a while before he was persuaded away by his mother-in-law.
Soon after, several daughters-in-law of the clan arrived, came to the old lady to say goodbye, and then to the eldest lady to say goodbye.
Yang was polite, exchanged a few words of greeting each other, greeted the family, and listened to a few words of crying poverty.
The third lady heard this, smiled coldly, turned around and saw Fuyi sitting with her daughter, she asked, "Who is in charge of the girl's family?" β
Fu Yi was stunned for a moment, but when she saw several strange clan daughters beside the eldest lady, her heart turned lightly, and she responded: "In the academy, the most important thing is to deal with the protΓ©gΓ©s of the science students, and they are all fathers and stewards Zhang Luo. As for the house, there are not many people in total, but some trivial matters such as firewood, rice, oil and salt are not taken care of every day. β
