Chapter 24: Bathing
Fu Qingluan in the Guogong Mansion put down the letter in his hand, closed his eyes weakly, and handed the letter in his hand to Mama Fu.
"Luoying, you can send this letter to the palace and give it to Qingfeng to take a look! I can't rest assured that these two children sneaked away like this, and there was no one to take care of them. ”
"Madam, when did the second son act recklessly, I really don't worry, let He Luo bring someone to chase after him, and he should be able to catch up after he has not been long gone." Mama Fu was also worried in her heart, but she could only comfort the tired woman so much.
"You must be old and confused, since An'er has the heart not to take them, we can't find it, it's just like he wishes, he should come back at the end of the year, so that the people in the Awakening Pavilion and Mengjue Building will be fined three months for their ineffective care."
Mama Fu knew that this was Mrs. deliberately protecting, so she didn't say much, so she put away the letter and withdrew.
The guards outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion were embarrassed and stopped a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy outside.
"You are getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to stop me." The boy squeezed in high-spirited.
"Huang Gongzi is not that we won't let you in, it's the eldest prince who said that you are not allowed to enter the mansion without permission in the future, unless you take out the invitation from the Guogong Mansion." The guards of the prince of the palace may cower and dare not dare, but what is this Huang Gongzi, if it weren't for the fact that he was the nephew of the second lady, they would not bother to take care of it.
"You lie, I don't believe my cousin would do this, let me go see my aunt." The boy who was stopped was not discouraged.
"Yo-Isn't this Huang Gongzi, come and see our eldest son? I heard that you were so frightened that you were bedridden, why did I look at the dragons and tigers, didn't your Huang family deceive us at that time? He Luo, who happened to come back from his errands, sarcastically said unceremoniously, he was left behind by his master, and he happened to have nowhere to vent, and this Huang Jing was unlucky for him today.
"What's the matter, I heard that my cousin was injured, didn't I rush to visit?" The boy hurriedly retorted.
"Visiting? Is there anyone like you who visit patients like this? With empty hands, do you understand etiquette? He Luo dropped the last sentence and stepped into the mansion in a dashing manner.
Don't forget to say when you look back: "Close the door, don't let cats and dogs come in casually." ”
The young man outside the door was embarrassed to linger no matter how thick-skinned he was, so he swallowed his anger and threw his sleeves away.
Xijing City nightfall on both sides of the street lights beaming with joy, Lord Lu lost his wife in his early years but did not continue the string, dedicated to raising the baby girl in the swaddling clothes, so that the daughter has reached the end of the day, and he has also entered middle age, maybe the daughter is about to get married when she grows up, or maybe it is the fear of adding white silk to the hair, in short, Lord Lu decided to continue the string, but because the daughter did not agree, there was no way to compromise in the end to take a concubine.
As for the prefect of Lu's mansion, Master Lu is still very loved by the people in Xijing, he is fair, honest and honest, and he has done a lot of facts for the people during the official period, so even if Miss Lu has been arrogant since she was a child, she is also famous for not saying that she is a tyrant in Xijing, but the shopkeepers of various merchants will not care about her in the face of the prefect.
Cui Ranxin in the Xilai Inn was lying on a large and comfortable bed, and everything was ready in the ear room, but the person lying on the bed refused to move, and Cui Jiuan was helpless to hug the girl on the bed.
"If you don't wash me, I'll go, it's not that I don't care about the difference between men and women, it's just that I don't worry about you living in a room alone, and I don't worry about sleeping on the ground at night." Cui Jiuan assured with a smile.
Cui Ranxin didn't understand his brother's kindness, but when he bathed in the ear room, he could hear even the sighs clearly when he thought of the people outside, not to mention the sound of water flowing, he was eleven years old no matter what he said, even if he didn't treat the person in front of him as an outsider, it would be embarrassing.
"Don't be embarrassed, you'll always be a three-year-old in my eyes." Cui Jiuan looked at the girl's embarrassed expression, and laughed even more unscrupulously.
Cui Ranxin was even more unhappy when he heard this, stepped forward and sat on Cui Jiu'an's lap and covered his mouth with both hands, and said unhappily: "Don't laugh, I'll take a bath, you go outside the room and stay away, don't go away." ”
Children who do not grow up are always looking forward to the future when they grow up, and people who are adults always miss the carefree time when they were children.
Cui Jiuan nodded in agreement, and really picked up a chair and walked out of the wing, closed the door, and sat obediently outside the door.
Xiao Er, who was passing by, left with a smile, and he didn't know what kind of colorful story was born in his heart.
Cui Ranxin carefully opened the door a crack, and sure enough, he saw the figure leaning back in a chair, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully.
Quietly closed the door, the girl's brisk pace dissipated instantly, and then the sound of rushing water sounded in the room, after riding a horse for a day, the clothes faded and soaked in the water and stretched comfortably, Cui Ran wanted to sleep beautifully like this, but she couldn't be so selfish, the person outside was also very tired, so she quickly washed it, but her excessively long hair used to be taken care of with the help of Qingshi sake, and now she was helpless against the wet hair, no matter what else was wrapped in a big cotton cloth first, dressed neatly and knocked lightly on the door.
Cui Jiuan knew that he could already go in, put away the book, picked up the chair, pushed the door in, and saw the ruddy-faced girl wrapped in a large piece of pure cotton cloth on her head, and her innocent eyes stared straight at her.
"You sit at the window, I'll help you." Cui Jiuan unhurriedly unhurriedly unwrapped the long hair that was twisted into twists by the other party, messy and messy, wet and hot, and patiently wiped it dry little by little.
Finally straightened out the green silk, Cui Jiuan didn't mind walking into the ear room to change the water and wash away the dust.
Cui Ranxin in front of the window was a little restless when he heard the sound of the rushing water, opening the window and blowing the wind might be able to relieve his embarrassment, and sure enough, the lights outside the window flickered like a swimming dragon, the dark night sky was studded with stars, and a round of moth eyebrows hung on the black curtain.
The person in front of the window is looking at the scenery, but he doesn't know that she is also a scenery in the eyes of others, the night wind blows away her long hair, and the pretty and bright face in the moonlight under the candlelight hangs a light smile of enjoyment.
Squeak - a window opened, and a woman dressed in red leaned in front of the window and smiled faintly at Cui Ranxin. The woman's age is not young, but her charm adds brilliance, and her eyes are full of vicissitudes when she reads the cold and warm eyes of the world, Cui Ran looked at the woman curiously, and for some reason she felt that the other party's smile was full of bitterness.
Cui Ran thought of her aunt who was far away in the palace of the capital, her elegance was unmatched, with the dignity of the princess of the palace, and the care of the queen's mother, but she slept alone every night and no one warmed the seat. The two have very different identities but have the same loneliness.
Cui Jiuan looked at the person in front of the window for a long time, his figure became more and more graceful, and he hoped that the person in front of him would grow up slowly and be cared for by himself forever. Take a coat and put it on her, and see this warm picture in the distant window, the young man's gentle and gentle appearance she had seen twenty years ago. Close the window apologetically.
"Shouldn't the second brother be happy to get married? I don't think the bride is happy. Cui Ran asked the doubts in her heart, although she was silent, she knew that the other party understood every word she said.
"Sit down, and I'll tell you a story." Cui Jiuan took the girl's hand and sat down.
"Twenty years ago, a scholar entered Beijing to catch the exam, high school in one fell swoop, he thought he could show his strength in the capital to have a job, but he only got a small school scholar, less than three months in office was squeezed out by others, reluctantly accepted the help of a minister in the court at that time, and was appreciated by the adult to marry his beloved daughter to her, he was able to turn over and go all the way to the position of today's four-grade prefect. But the price of the spring breeze is to lose the opportunity to stay with his young lover, he married a girl in the capital who was close and far away in the south of the Yangtze River and waited hard, year after year until one day he was sold into the Qinglou by Lai Pi's brother, even if the man later found her and asked to marry her, the scars between them could not be repaired. ”
Cui Ran was fascinated by what she heard, she already understood why the woman in red was full of loneliness in her eyes, Zeng Jin's love had been wounded and shattered, and she swore to keep the festival for that person but was sold into the Goulan tile to laugh for a living, even if it was repaired, it was scabbed everywhere.
Seeing that Cui Ran was extremely sad, the young man hugged her into his arms and persuaded him softly, "But in the next few decades, I may be able to enjoy a moment of warmth, why not a kind of providence to continue the frontier." ”
Cui Ran snuggled up to the boy and looked at the closed window, will the closed window open again?
"Childe, the little one delivers food." Xiao Er's voice sounded outside the door.
