Chapter 5: Evasion
Meng Shi took Lu Jiayue's hand and sat down beside her, and looked at her face carefully, there was a little ruddy in the whiteness, and there was no sickness at all, so she was completely relieved. I touched the plum green plain satin jacket on her body again, but it was still thick, but it was paired with a green and white cotton skirt, which looked too simple when she wore it.
It's not as bright as a few big girls in the long room.
Meng Shi couldn't help but scolded: "You kid, why is it that you are sick, but even your clothes are becoming more and more plain?" β
Lu Jiayue lowered her head and said with a shallow smile: "I don't know why, now I love to look at colors like green and blue, and those pink, purple, smoky and red in the past are not used to it." β
In the past, he was ignorant and naΓ―ve, and naturally loved those soft and shallow colors, but now he is reincarnated as a human, and his state of mind has long been unrecognizable.
Meng Shi smiled helplessly, but his eyes were full of love and pampering, "It's okay, the little girl's family, one idea at a time, since you like the green and blue color, it just so happens that I have a few good satins here," said and instructed the big girl Chunxia on the side, "I remember that there was a bean green and a peacock green one among the makeup palace satin given by the aunt's wife last time, you picked it out and sent it to the embroidery room, and told them to cut two jackets for the moon girl." β
Chunxia took the order.
The maids put hot tea and snacks on the table, Lu Jiayue accompanied Meng Shi to say some homely words, Hexiang picked up the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "Madam, the fourth young master is back, come and greet you." β
Lu Jiayue was taking a sesame snail cake and putting it in her mouth, she choked when she heard the words, and forcibly drank two sips of tea quietly, relieved her breath, and immediately stood up, "Auntie, I'll go back to the room first." β
Meng Shi thought that she was trying to avoid the suspicion of men and women, so she smiled and said: "You don't have to see outside, it's your uncle's nephew, Brother Rong in the second room." β
In her previous life, she lived in the Qu family for three years, how could she not know who the fourth young master was?
I just don't want to see each other again.
Meng Shi saw that she lowered her head slightly, bit her lip and stood there without squeaking, looking very embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Then you can go to the blue yarn cupboard for a while?" It's also warm inside, and I'll have someone bring you tea and snacks. β
Lu Jiayue responded, turned around and hurriedly walked out.
When the fourth young master Qu Rong entered the main hall, his eyes were unintentionally glancing, only to see a weak and slender cyan back, which flashed into the blue gauze cabinet on the west side of the main hall in the blink of an eye.
entered the inner room and greeted Meng Shi, Meng Shi was very happy, and he was quite enthusiastic to ask for warmth.
Qu Rong is a nephew, so he didn't have to shy away too much, so he sat down where Lu Jiayue had sit. Lianxiang served hot tea, and he accompanied Meng Shi to speak, but after a while, he smelled a fragrance in his nose, which was very quiet and elegant, and he had never smelled it before, but when he wanted to smell it carefully, the aroma disappeared again. After a little more relaxation, the aroma lingered in the nose.
Seeing that there was a tea bell left on the kang table on the side, he knew that there must be a female dependent here to accompany the Meng family. Because he heard him coming, he avoided suspicion and went away.
Qu Rong couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Could it be that cyan back?
*
Although the blue gauze cabinet is small, it is also fully furnished, warm and comfortable.
Lu Jiayue sat on the soft couch, her mood was like a tide, and it was difficult to calm down.
Fourth Young Master... Qu Rong.
It's the person who once made her fall in love and break her heart in her previous life!
She blamed herself for being careless, she forgot that today is the fifteenth, the first and fifteenth days of the first day of each month in the Guozi Prison are suspended for vacation, Qu Rong is studying in the Guozi Prison, and she must go back to the Qu Mansion during the holidays to greet the elders and take care of the trivialities.
Fortunately, he hid quickly, if she met at first sight like this, she really didn't know what attitude to treat him.
In her previous life, when she first arrived at Qu's house, she was attracted by Qu Rong's appearance and talent, and Qu Rong also intended to get close to her. It was an ignorant age when love first opened, and he came and went several times in private, but he couldn't stand his sweet words, and his feelings were deep, and he couldn't help but indulge in it and couldn't extricate himself, and finally made a secret promise.
He said that let her wait patiently, and after the title of the Spring Gold List, he will make a statement to his parents and elders, and marry her openly and honestly with the gift of three media and six appointments.
She was full of longing and anticipation, but before she could reach the spring, he married someone else.
He also said that everything that was not what he wanted was persecuted by his parents. He said that if there was an afterlife, he would not bear her again.
He said it so sincerely, as deeply as he confessed his heart at the beginning, and even burst into tears when he said that he couldn't help himself. Tears fell straight down her palms, as heavy as a thousand pounds, completely smashing one of her hearts.
......
The sky outside the window was clear, the sun was shining, and a few small finches flew from nowhere, landing on a plum branch in the backyard, chirping non-stop.
Such a peaceful and peaceful time, as if the personnel of her previous life were just a dream she had.
In and out of dreams, she is the only one.
The little finch called for a while, and you chased after me, and flapped your wings and flew away. The sun is still shining, and the plum tree bears the buds of a tree, and there is no trace of everything.
The past, love, resentment, and obsession are all like smoke.
In this life, I only wish that the two places will be wide, and each will be well, and there will be no more involvement.

Qu Rong said goodbye to Meng's family, came out of the long house, and the little maid Shuangxi who was waiting under the courtyard wall followed him with his waist.
Seeing Qu Rong's thoughtful expression, he asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" β
Qu Rong walked forward with his hands in his hands, not looking at him, "Is there any female dependent next to the eldest aunt?" β
"Did the young master see it?" Shuangxi smiled, "It's the niece of the eldest lady, surnamed Lu, and her name is called Jiayue." On the second day of junior high school, not long after you returned to the country, she entered the house. β
When Qu Rong heard this, he slowed slightly, "Her father is Lu Mian, the new political envoy of Yunguibu?" β
"Exactly, Yungui's realm is poor and bad, and her father loves her, so he left her to be taken care of by the eldest lady," Shuangxi salivated and looked at Qu Rong with a smile, "Young master, you said, that Miss Lu Jiabiao's appearance is very wonderful?" β
"Oh? I didn't see it," Qu Rong smiled and looked at Double Happiness meaningfully, "You kid is talking about it, what a wonderful method?" β
Shuangxi scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a word and a half sentence to describe Lu Jiayue's appearance, so he had to laugh, "The little one hasn't read a book, so I can't describe it - in short, it's extremely painful." β
Qu Rong felt a slight sense of disappointment in his heart, and raised his hand and flicked a finger on Shuangxi's head, "You can see any good people in your dog's eyes, but I don't believe it, it's mostly your nonsense." β
Shuangxi held his head and could only laugh with pain.
*
Qu Rong went to the third and fourth rooms to say goodbye again, and then turned back to the second room.
The second lady, Duan, was looking forward to it under the corridor.
Qu Rong walked into the courtyard, and the Duan clan had already stepped forward, and said angrily: "Just go and say hello, why is it so long?" β
Qu Rong smiled, "I sat down in the house of my grandmother and aunt, and talked with me for a while, the third aunt's courtyard was not quiet, so I didn't stay long, and the fourth aunt was busy, so I only came out with a greeting." β
"I'm getting more sensible," Duan's anger turned to joy, "Hungry, aren't you?" Come inside, lunch is ready. β
The little maid Shuangxi had already retreated outside the courtyard, and two or three maids under the steps of the main house scrambled to step forward to open the door curtain, and surrounded Duan and Qu Rong into the main hall.
Duan's eldest maids, Yuping and Cuiping, served Qu Rong and changed their clothes, and the dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals with vermilion lacquer and carved flowers were lined up, steaming hot, all of which were Qu Rong's favorite dishes.
Duan and Qu Rong sat opposite each other.
"Eat more mutton, the weather is cold, mutton warms the body the most," Duan's insistence on the silver chopsticks kept giving Qu Rong vegetables, "There is no such delicious meal in the Guozi Prison - can you drink the ginseng berry black chicken soup that Shuangxi sent you a few days ago?" β
The mutton was stewed softly, and it tasted fresh and fragrant in the mouth, but Qu Rong frowned, "Although the food in the Guozi Prison is lighter, it is not too bad, and my mother will not let Shuangxi send me food to the Guozi Prison in the future." β
Duan's eyebrows raised, "That's not good, even if the food in the Guozi Prison is passable, how can it compare to the craftsmanship of the small kitchen in our house?" If you don't eat well, how can your body stand it? Besides, I only send it back once in three or five days, I'm still too little, if you want, I'll let people send it to you every day. β
As he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and he came into the main hall.
