Chapter 166: The Rong Family
After carefully observing for a while, Bai Yanzhu's gaze swept over an extremely inconspicuous place located in the southwest corner, where the guards patrolled almost the entire front foot, but there was no one to go to that corner.
If it was because there was no one or anything to guard against in that place, she didn't believe it. After all, it's not wide underneath, but it's not narrow either, and if there are no people or things worth guarding against, then don't arrange patrols, then ...... In order to save trouble, wouldn't it be better to arrange for guards to guard the places that need to be guarded? Why patrol back and forth?
A smile rose at the corner of Bai Yanzhu's mouth, "In that case, why don't we go over there." She pointed to the no-man's corner and said to Yang Xu.
Yang Xu looked at each other and smiled, hooked his lips and said, "That's exactly what I mean." ”
Sure enough, they are worthy of being opponents for more than ten years, and their ideas are so similar. The two smiled and turned into another path.
……
……
When he came to the temple, Rong Yue went to the main hall to offer incense and chant according to his usual habits, and after these were all over, he went to the back hall to eat.
"Master Huiyu, this is the scripture that the concubine copied and commented on a few days ago, and I came here today, and by the way, I asked the master for some advice." After the meal was over, Rong Yue motioned for Shui Mi to hand over the scripture copied and annotated, and handed it to Venerable Huiyu with his own hands.
Master Hui Yu took it, handed it to the little novice behind him, and grinned: "The concubine Niangniang has a unique introduction to the Dharma manager, the old man has to study and comprehend it well, today is not early, the concubine Niangniang can go to the front yard to enjoy the snow scene, and go down the mountain." This scripture, come back next time, is it possible? ”
Rong Yue got up and saluted, "It is the good fortune of the concubine to be able to get the guidance of Master Huiyu, naturally.... I can't ask for it. ”
…… After a few more small talks, they said goodbye to each other and planned to leave.
When she came to the front yard, Rong Yue glanced at the mountain scenery after the snow, smiled lightly, and walked away.
Shui Mi stepped forward to help her, "Niangniang, the scenery in this temple is very beautiful, why don't you take a look at it and ......"
Rong Yue's gaze fell, Shui Mi stopped what he was going to say, and his heart was shocked—that look was too cold, and even a little terrifying.
As if sensing that Shui Mi was frightened, Rong Yue retracted his gaze and smiled slightly, "Today, the palace is a little tired, although the mountain scenery is beautiful, people want to sleep and rest, come to get the scriptures another day, and enjoy it again." ”
As if to explain.
It's really explaining.
Rare.
Shui Mi didn't say anything, but there was a faint ...... in her heart She looked up somewhere, swept her gaze and then withdrew it, not lingering.
Following Rong Yue's side, Shui Mi was silent, and Rong Yue also just smiled slightly and did not speak.
Before getting into the carriage, Rong Yue glanced at the people who came with him today, and finally, his eyes fell on Shui Mi, and he stopped for a moment before retracting and lowering the sedan curtain.
Shui Mi, who felt Rong Yue's gaze, was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and jumped into the carriage and sat next to the coachman.
The carriage rolled down the hill.
The mountain scenery is beautiful, but no one has the heart to feel and appreciate it.
In the car, Rong Yue closed her phoenix eyes lightly, and she always felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
waited for five days before the letter was delivered, and the previous letter from home had probably arrived at Rongfu, Jiangzhou.
It's just some gossip and mundane things, but when a letter is sent, it is difficult for the Rong family to feel at ease.
Recently, it is a critical juncture, and the Rong family is careful and golden in contact with Rong Yue, and if it is not necessary, they will definitely not write letters to each other.
Moreover, Rong Hua only went to Beijing to report on Jiangzhou affairs at the beginning of the month, and he also met with Rong Yue by the way.
Therefore, at this time, no news is good news, if a letter is sent, it proves that something happened, and it is a big thing, a big thing that Rong Yue can't solve by himself.
"Master, what do you think of this letter?" Mrs. Rong asked with a worried face.
Rong Hua's brows were tightly locked, and he had never relaxed since he received the letter until he read it.
The tight string in Mrs. Rong's heart has also been hanging, frightened and anxious.
The more Rong Hua didn't speak, the more scared she became.
Before doing this, she was afraid, and at that time Rong Hua only said: The kindness of women. said that she was a woman's kindness, but Mrs. Rong admitted it and did not stop it.
During this period, I also persuaded several times, but when I saw hope, I was so eager to succeed.
Therefore, the reason why people are afraid is not because they dare not ask for luxury, but because they do not see hope, and once they see hope, they are not so afraid, but want more.
She smiled self-deprecatingly.
Rong Hua saw her smile, he didn't care what her smile meant, and the anger in his heart was aroused, "Stinky girl, why are you still laughing at this time?!" ”
roared, slammed the letter in his hand on the table, and even made a gesture of slapping Mrs. Rong.
Madame Rong was startled, took a few steps back, hid by the door frame, lowered her head and sobbed softly. She didn't know what she had done wrong, every time it was like this, Rong Hua didn't care about right or wrong at all, so she was angry with her.
Before, when I was young, it was clearly not like this, how can I ...... now? Thinking of this, Mrs. Rong cried even harder.
Hearing the sound, Rong Hua was even more furious and slammed the door. He didn't want to hit the woman, so he had to leave.
Originally, his heart was irritable enough, and it was even more unbearable to listen to her crying, and he was afraid that if he continued to stay in the house, he would not be able to help but strangle the woman.
After Rong Hua left, a maid came forward to comfort Mrs. Rong, helped her into the house, and poured warm fruit tea to drink with her.
Mrs. Rong cried so much that her hands twitched when she picked up the teacup, the teacup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere.
The house suddenly became a pot of porridge, and no one dared to come forward to comfort him.
After a long time, after the broken teacups and the tea on the ground were cleaned up, the eldest maid who was often waiting by Mrs. Rong's side stepped forward to comfort, "Madam, the plum blossoms in the yard are blooming well, is it feasible to go out for a walk?" ”
Mrs. Rong nodded, and with the support of the maid, she went out to enjoy the flowers.
But her mind is not on flower appreciation.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the lady is quarreling with the master again, but the maids don't say anything.
Speaking of which, they/they haven't quarreled for a long time, since the beginning of the month, the old man went to the capital and came back, and the two have always been amiable......
Why did Miss ,,, quarrel again when she came to a letter today?
It's just puzzling.
But the affairs of the master's family are invited, and they have no right to ask as subordinates, and they dare not ask. At most, there are those who are bold enough to talk about it in private, in short, no one dares to say it back then.
In the attic, Mrs. Rong looked up at the sky full of dark clouds in the north, and her heart was sour, and tears swirled back and forth in her eyes, and finally slipped from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing this scene in front of her, the maids who followed her also felt sour, lowered their heads to wipe their tears, and sobbed in a low voice.
Some think of their families, some think of their lovers, some think of the past, and some can't see the future...... In short, this cry reminded me of many things that I usually don't have time to think about......
Fang Jue, it turned out that they were not doing well at all, usually they didn't dare to cry, but as soon as they found a breakthrough today, they couldn't stop it, and even some maids hugged each other, squatted down and cried.
This scene is simply "rare to see", and naturally it quickly spread to Rong Hua's ears.
