Chapter 11: Let's Play Together
In order to make time to take Ding Ning out, Guan Lu Mo has been busy with his little apprentice Meng Yang in the medical hall for the past few days. Meng Yang is sometimes so busy that he doesn't have time to eat three meals a day. Meng Yang didn't dare to complain on his lips, but he was already slandered in his heart, and finally, Meng Yang couldn't stand it anymore, and said dejectedly to his master by taking the medicine:
"Master, you've been busy day and night these days, I can't hold it anymore!"
Guan Lu Mo saw that his apprentice looked like he was going to die, and joked:
Meng Yang seems to need to water some "evergreen water"! ”
This "evergreen water" is the potion developed by Guan Lumo to prolong the flowering period. Meng Yang couldn't lift it at all when he heard Master's cold joke, and said in a daze:
"What does Master want Meng Yang to do, Meng Yang just does it, I just hope that Master can fulfill his promise quickly and let me rest for a few days."
Meng Yang's words are also the truth, these days Lu Mo has taken care of Ding Ning, this medical hall only does the business of catching and grinding medicines, and these things are only done by Meng Yang alone. In the past few days, Meng Yang has finally brought his master back, but there are more people who see the doctor, and he has never stopped for a moment, not to mention that there is no reason for the master to work overtime and the apprentices to rest, so Meng Yang can only continue to accompany the master to be busy. Of course, Lu Mo knew that Meng Yang was tired these days, but he thought that he would only be tired today, so he smiled and asked Meng Yang to insist.
Guan Lu Mo thought about it and was still ready to give his little apprentice some hope, and said with a warm smile:
"Meng Yang can rest tomorrow, can I go out for an outing with Master tomorrow?"
Meng Yang's eyes lit up when he heard his master's words, after all, he was still young and had a good heart. Guan Lumo looked at this kid's bright and energetic eyes, and said with a smile:
"Meng Yang's 'evergreen water' seems to be the 'holiday order' for the teacher!"
Meng Yang didn't say anything, just scratched his head happily, picked up a bag of medicine and went out to give it to the guests.
In the past few days, even if Lu Mo has not been to the Rose Garden, it does not mean that Luo Xicheng is also idle. At this time, Luo Xicheng was walking on the way to the Rose Garden, and the little attendant Meng Li behind him hurried to catch up, constantly speeding up his pace to keep up with his master. has been like this for the past few days, Luo Xicheng always has to take time to see Ding Ning's situation every day.
But seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Rose Garden, Luo Xicheng's pace was getting slower and slower. Of course, Meng Li on the side is clear, his own master has come to see Baili girl every day in the past few days, but every time his master is outside the rose garden, he can hear the hearty laughter from inside, and when he enters the garden, he only sees Baili girl with an indifferent expression.
Although Meng Li secretly slandered himself in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, and kept following his master slowly into the rose garden. Sure enough, as always, as soon as Luo Xicheng entered the garden, the garden was silent, and Baili Wanting stood up from the small round table in the garden with Cuilan, and walked forward to say hello.
Hearing the greeting as always, Luo Xicheng said indifferently:
"Wanting is polite and thoughtful every time, but it seems like I'm here to disturb. I heard ...... outside the door."
Before Luo Xicheng could finish speaking, Ding Ning answered:
"Luo Gongzi misunderstood, but it was Cuilan who sang an interesting tune and was amused. Laughing and playing in front of the foreign man, what kind of system, Wan Ting didn't dare to make a mistake. ”
Hearing Ding Ning's words, Luo Xicheng felt like a punch on the soft cotton, yes, it was he Luo Xicheng who told Ding Ning to be a hundred miles of Wanting and to be a beautiful girl, but there is no need to be like this all the time, not to mention that Ding Ning in front of him is not so restrained in front of Guan Lumo. But Luo Xicheng had nothing to refute, so he could only hate it:
"Okay, but I hope you look like a lady in front of anyone, but don't let me down."
"Wanting obeys."
In just four words, Luo Xicheng has no more words to follow. Luo Xicheng was silent for a moment and then said:
"Wanting's body is better today, do you still feel dizzy?"
"I'm tired of Luo Gongzi's thoughts, Wanting is fine today."
"I've always heard that Wanting is good at chess, and I've been in a hurry these days, and I haven't learned it, I wonder if I have the honor to play the next round with Wanting today?"
"How fortunate Wanting is to play a game of chess with Childe, Childe's mind Wanting understands it, and she doesn't dare to be ugly in front of Childe."
When Luo Xicheng heard Ding Ning's words, he naturally understood that she didn't want to play chess with him, he didn't like to force Ding Ning to accompany him, seeing that everything was fine with her, it was enough, and finally decided to leave, so he said:
"Then let's go another day, if Miss Wanting has anything uncomfortable, let Cuilan call Lu Mo to come, and I will come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, Ding Ning saluted Luo Xicheng to say goodbye, and Luo Xicheng also turned to leave, only Meng Wei, who couldn't stand it, secretly slandered himself. In the end, Meng Li still couldn't stand the snubbing of his master, and when he got out of the garden, he said to his master:
"Master, I, I'm a little diarrhea, can the master go first, Meng Li will follow after a while."
Still immersed in the depressed mood just now, Luo Xicheng didn't have the heart to care about other things, so he nodded and agreed. But Meng Li didn't go to the latrine, but re-entered Ding Ning's Rose Garden, found Ding Ning, saluted, and said politely:
"I'm sorry to disturb Miss Baili again, but I'm really sorry for my master. Miss Baili may not know how busy my master is on weekdays in this garden, but no matter how busy he is, since he knows that you are not in good health, I must take time out to see the girl every day. The old man now also wants to get along with the girl more before he says he wants to play chess, but the girl refuses to say so, and the old man doesn't say it, and his heart should be uncomfortable. ”
Meng Li's words made Ding Ning misty, Ding Ning still felt wronged now, why did he offend his master for no reason. Ding Ning thought to himself, isn't it right that he is respectful to Luo Xicheng? Isn't it good to be a big girl according to Luo Xicheng's requirements? Doesn't he come every day to check his learning results and see if he has been a lady? Although she doesn't go out every day in the garden, she understands a character like Luo Xicheng who has means, and she must be very busy every day, and her refusal to play chess not only satisfies Luo Xicheng's requirements for everyone to be too intimate with foreign men, but also fully takes into account Luo Xicheng's busyness. Did she do something wrong?
Ding Ning stayed where he was, looking at Meng Li who finished speaking, and looked at Meng Li very embarrassed. Seeing this, Cuilan on the side immediately reminded Ding Ningdao:
"Girl, girl, Meng Li is in front of you."
Ding Ning came back to her senses, although she didn't sort out her thoughts and didn't understand the meaning of Meng Li's words, but she was clear about one thing, her master wanted to play chess now and wanted her to play chess with him. So, Ding Ning settled on the way of God:
"There is Lao Meng who left the little brother to talk to Luo Gongzi, Wan Ting has long heard that Luo Gongzi is good at chess, and wants to ask for advice, and hopes that Luo Gongzi will deign. It was Wanting who was rude before. ”
After Ding Ning's words, Meng left his heart and ran out of the rose garden to chase his master, and said to his master with a happy face:
"Master, master, just now the girl asked the little one to bring you a message, she said that she had heard that you were good at chess, and she was embarrassed to ask you for advice just now, if you are willing to deign, she will prepare the chessboard at this moment."
Luo Xicheng was very happy when he heard Meng Li's words, although he didn't know why he was so happy, but after all, Ding Ning not only played chess with Guan Lu Mo, but also played chess with him, and he was very happy. But after thinking about it, can this Ding Ning open his mind and change him? Coupled with Meng Li's inexplicable diarrhea just now, Luo Xicheng immediately understood something, turned his face to Meng Li beside him and said:
"Meng Li, didn't you go and say something to Wanting?"
How could Meng Li admit it, if he admitted, he would inevitably be punished, he was not so stupid, and said with a smile:
"Where, I was passing by the Rose Garden just now, and Cuilan stopped me and told me."
What Luo Xicheng got from Meng Li's mouth was good news, so naturally he wouldn't worry so much about Meng Li, he couldn't help but smile and said seriously:
"Since Wanting wants to play chess with me, let's go back."
In a hurry, Luo Xicheng arrived at the Rose Garden in one hundred and ten steps, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he slowed down as always, pretending to walk into the garden easily, Ding Ning had been waiting at the door of the house, and when he saw Luo Xicheng entering the garden, he stepped forward and said:
"Luo Gongzi is very good at chess, please don't hesitate to teach."
Ding Ning in front of Luo Xicheng still had a respectful posture, his words were polite but soft, Luo Xicheng felt that there was still a sense of distance between the two, but Ding Ning's performance had improved today, so he wouldn't delve into it.
Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning walked to the chessboard and sat down and began their game. Luo Xicheng is good at chess, Ding Ning knows it in Guan Lumo's mouth, but Luo Xicheng also knows Ding Ning's chess skills from Guan Lumo. Ding Ning didn't want to agree to play chess before because he played chess with his master, and it was very difficult to play chess with a master like himself who was good at chess.
The moment he raised the chess piece, Ding Ning sighed secretly in his heart; After a game of chess, Ding Ning finally showed a relaxed expression, looking at the full game of chess pieces, Ding Ning felt that he had lost properly. But this short moment of relaxed expression was seen by Luo Xicheng. Luo Xicheng remained silent, looked at Ding Ning with sharp eyes, and said:
"How about another round?"
When Ding Ning heard this request, she felt indescribably tired, although she didn't want to play another game, but how could Luo Xicheng in front of her be her master, as a chess piece of Luo Xicheng, could she refute anything? Since she has invited someone to say that she wants to learn chess, she can only hold on.
Luo Xicheng carefully watched the subtle changes in Ding Ning's expression, and was ready to be a little more ruthless in the chess game, he wanted to see how powerful this girl was and how many moves she could catch him.
The chess pieces were placed on the chessboard one by one, and Ding Ning resolved Luo Xicheng's siege step by step, and attacked step by step. Between offense and defense, Luo Xicheng looked at Ding Ning's frowning brows and his constantly thinking expression, and he was full of a sense of superiority.
Ding Ning really couldn't think of how to advance and retreat, and the chess pieces didn't know where to go so that they didn't seem to be deliberate, so he could only raise his head and look at Luo Xicheng and said respectfully:
"Luo Gongzi, Wanting admits defeat, Luo Gongzi's chess skills are really good, and Wanting has learned."
Luo Xicheng saw Ding Ning's pious appearance, and felt very satisfied, even if he won Guan Lu Mo, he didn't feel so satisfied, now he won Ding Ning, and got Ding Ning's worship, and suddenly felt full of heart, very happy.
Luo Xicheng wanted to play another game in Xingtou, but Cuilan came into the house and saluted:
"Girl, Luo Gongzi, Cuilan has prepared some refreshments, the two of you have been playing chess for so long, let's take a rest first."
When Ding Ning saw Cuilan come in, a feeling of relief hit her heart, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and this scene made Luo Xicheng take in the whole view, and the satisfaction in Luo Xicheng's heart was even better.
Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning moved to the main hall and drank tea and ate snacks in the main hall. Luo Xicheng picked up the opportunity and briefly told Ding Ning some of the things he had found about Baili Wanting, so that Ding Ning had a simple understanding of the character of Baili Wanting. Ding Ning has been looking forward to Guan Lu Mo coming soon, or Luo Xicheng leaving quickly. After all, it was very difficult for Ding Ning to keep chatting like this, she felt that it was difficult for her to grasp the man in front of her, and she didn't know how to master the proportions of her speech.
Ding Ning didn't know that Luo Xicheng was enjoying the peaceful chat in front of him.
