Chapter 182: Leaving Again
Chapter 182: Leaving Again
The night was already deep, Xiaojuan carried a white silk sand octagonal lantern, in front of the long corridor for Huizhu to lead the way, a cool night breeze hit, the red handle decorated with bead tassels swayed, the dim candle flame also flickered, under a jagged light and shadow.
Huizhu glanced at the flickering lantern in Xiaojuan's hand, chic and exquisite, borrowed from Nian's house, which made her recall the scene in Nian's courtyard just now.
In the noisy upper room, after the Ulanala clan has taken care of all the trivial things, and the happy words that should be said have been said all over the place, according to the rules that have remained unchanged for decades, Yinzhen should go back to the main courtyard with the Ulanala clan to rest, and she and the Li family should also go back to their own hospitals. However, as soon as she left the gate of Nian's courtyard on the front foot, Xiao Luzi chased after her on the back foot, and Yinzhen asked her to wait at night.
Huizhu shook her head lightly, not understanding Yinzhen's intentions, but knowing that he would definitely attract a lot of jealousy for her if he acted like this. Just tonight, when she got off the carriage with Yinzhen, she attracted everyone's attention, not counting the deep jealousy and resentment that could not be erased when the Nian clan was stripped of her will and forcibly carried back to the house.
Thinking of this, Huizhu faded out with a wry smile, since it was just dark, she was looking forward to bringing her Baolian back from the Wulanala Clan's courtyard, but now that midnight is approaching, she didn't even use a meal, and she didn't even look at Baolian's shadow, and she also provoked jealousy and hatred for no reason.
Walking in a hurry at night, before long, I could see the lights in the familiar courtyard in the distance. Seeing this, Huizhu abandoned her thoughts, smiled at Xiaojuan, and then sped up her steps and walked towards the bright light.
Before he got closer, he only heard Xiao Ranzi stumble in surprise: "The master is back, the master is back." Then, seven or eight figures hurriedly greeted him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Welcome the master back to the house." ”
Huizhu only felt a sense of relief in her heart, and a sense of returning home arose, so she said softly, and she pestled herself in place, looking up at the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the courtyard gate, and suddenly felt it. When Su Xin and the others saw Huizhu's thoughtful appearance, they thought that they were disturbed by Nian's childbirth, and they were uncertain, so they stood aside with some caution on their faces.
In the middle of the ring, Su Xincai hesitated under the urging of everyone's eyes: "Master, it's late at night, let's go to the courtyard, the slave has boiled water and prepared some simple food." Huizhu turned her head, wiped the corners of her eyes secretly, turned around and grabbed Su Xin's bowed body, and said a little choked: "Su Xin, thanks to you for helping me take care of it for more than half a year." Su Xin cried when she heard this: "The slave and maid should, as long as the master comes back safely, the slave and the maid heard that it is the big giant bear, and the slave and maid are really afraid of ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't cry.
Huizhu listened to Su Xin's crying words, looked at the grass and trees in the yard, and felt a little lost, a little confused, but there was still a faint joy. For a while, I couldn't figure out how to think about it, and she was recovering from a serious illness, so she would enter the back room, burn incense and lie softly, and the excitement at the beginning gradually faded, and fatigue and sleepiness came in, and she didn't bother to say more. Then he went into the house and said a few words, and said a few words about the affairs in the palace, then yawned and bathed and changed clothes, and went to the outside drum beat three times, and then went out of the bath room in single clothes.
At this time, the lights had been extinguished, Mama Zhang and Ah Xing had been sent to sleep, and the silence in the courtyard was restored to the middle of the night. Huizhu looked around the courtyard, the night was quiet, and she complained a little in her heart, it was this big night, and I didn't know if Yinzhen would come over or not, if she didn't come, then wouldn't she have to wait all night, but there was still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, after all, Baolian is now raised by the Ulanala clan.
In the middle of the turmoil, he had entered the upper room, Huizhu brushed the wet hair that fell down, and glanced at Su Xin slightly, Su Xin understood, took half a step forward, opened the curtain, and before he turned sideways to let Huizhu enter the house, he paused his movements, lowered his head and whispered: "Master, Lord and Father-in-law Lu are in the house." With that, he lifted the curtain and stood with his head down.
Huizhu nodded at Su Xin, then stepped into the back room, walked straight to Yinzhen, blessed slightly, and said directly: "Master, the road is tired, and you are injured, why do you want to come here and find a concubine?" Yin Zhen didn't answer, but looked Huizhu up and down, frowned, and said in a somewhat reprimanded tone: "In early summer, it's cold in the morning and evening, you can pour it well, and your wet hair will come out." I can't take care of myself personally, I really don't know how you take care of the Hongli brothers and sisters. ”
Yinzhen loves to pick thorns, this is what Huizhu only found out when he got along recently, so he read a few words, walked to the side of the wooden shelf, picked up a cotton towel, turned his head alone, wiped his hair with a cotton towel, and squinted at Yinzhen on the other hand, and replied casually: "It's the concubine's negligence." ”
Yin Zhen's eyebrows jumped, as soon as Huizhu entered the room, she felt that she was beautiful and glamorous, and now her demeanor and flow are even more faintly revealing a different style. Huizhu noticed something unusual, raised her eyebrows lightly, and said "En" in confusion, thinking that Yinzhen hadn't said anything yet, so she asked again: "Master, what do you have to tell if you are in a hurry to find a concubine?" ”
Yin Zhen still didn't answer, his face darkened a little, coughed slightly, his eyes fell on the food on the small table, and he disguised: "Wipe your wet hair half dry, just come over and use some porridge and side dishes to pad your stomach." In this way, Huizhu had no choice but to rest, responded to Yinzhen's instructions, took a square cotton towel and draped it over her shoulders again, and sat down as she said.
The two silently ate at night, retreated left and right, Huizhu helped him to sit down in front of the desk, and when he saw it, there was a draft of money and food deficit in front of the desk.
Just thinking about it, I only heard Yinzhen put up the pen tube, and said indifferently: "Grind ink, I have to repair this again tonight, if you are sleepy, you have raw tea, drink some and you can also get some sleep." After listening, Huizhu was stunned, and when she reacted, she saw that Yinzhen had buried her head in the table, so she had to swallow her sullen breath and grind and hand the paper silently, but she was probably uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't feel ...... scream softly: "Master"
Yin Zhen looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" Huizhu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my body is still weak, and it's not good to stay up late." Besides, there is no rush to do so, and I will write it tomorrow. Yinzhen seemed to remember something, put the pen on the inkstone, leaned back, "oh" and said: "I forgot to tell you, tomorrow morning you and I will move to the Old Summer Palace to live, Huang Ama is in Changchun Garden, I will be in time to go to the northern suburbs tomorrow to hand it over." After a pause, he pondered for a moment, and added: "I have already greeted Fujin about this matter, I am going to the Old Summer Palace to recuperate, you are used to taking care of me, so I will let you follow, and she also proposed this." ”
The Ulanala clan also proposed to let her serve with her? Huizhu turned her mind and hurriedly asked, "What about Baolian?" Or let Fu Jin take care of it? Yin Zhen glanced at Huizhu, who was full of urgency, and said: "Fujin praised you, saying that your mother and daughter have been separated for a long time, so let you go to her courtyard tomorrow to bring Baolian first, and then go to the Old Summer Palace." ”
When Huizhu heard this, she was overjoyed, but she couldn't believe that it was so easy, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Bao'er can I pick it up tomorrow morning? Yinzhen was a little displeased with Huizhu's surprise, but he didn't say anything, nodded and answered, and then hesitated at the end: "Huang Ama may let Hongli Gu Yuanzi accompany you, maybe." As he spoke, he muttered to himself for a long time with the word "maybe" in his mouth.
Huizhu was overwhelmed with surprises, ignoring Yinzhen's abnormality, and Wuzi was immersed in her thoughts, thinking about whether the Hongli brothers and sisters were tall or short, thin or fat. Until Yinzhen called, Fang smiled and woke up, and quietly grinded on the side.
It's night, the lights are shining, the fragrance is rich, and the ink is waving. The house was bright all night, Yinzhen was diligent all night, and Huizhu was also with each other all night......
At dawn the next day, Huizhu served Yinzhen with medicine, cleaned up a little, and went to the main courtyard to ask for peace from the Wulanala clan. At this time, the morning light is faint, the sky is still gray, in the main courtyard, only the rough envoy is cleaning the courtyard, suddenly saw Huizhu dressed neatly appeared, all of them were stunned, or a middle-aged woman with eyes called "Niu Hulu Fujin", five or six people who swept in the morning quickly knelt down to salute and say goodbye.
Huizhu's indifferent face responded, but she thought in her heart, this big greeting sound, someone in the room should hear it, otherwise it is always bad for her to send someone to go in and spread the word recklessly. After thinking about it for a while, the plan was decided, and Huizhu stood patiently outside the main house.
The sky was gradually brightening, the twilight mist had lost its track, the bright sunlight had poured down through the wisps of thin clouds, Huizhu blocked the eyelids, looked up, as if dazzled by the golden morning light, uncomfortable eyebrows tightened.
Xiao Ranzi took a peek at Huizhu's expression and muttered in a low voice: "Master, you have been waiting for more than half an hour, or let someone pass it on." Huizhu shook her head and said a little tiredly: "At most, it won't take more than an hour, just wait." Xiao Ranzi glared at the vermilion lacquer door before he lowered his head.
Suddenly, I only heard a "squeak", and the dazzling gold lacquer two doors opened in response. Mama Wang walked out of the house, and when she saw Huizhu's master and servant, she opened her mouth in surprise, and then hurriedly squatted down and pleaded: "The slave and maid should die, I don't know that Niu Hulu Fujin is waiting outside, and please punish him." Huizhu cheered up and said with a smile: "Mama is serious, I have just been here for a while, but it's not good not to disturb Fujin's peace." He said a little help.
Mama Wang got up and said with a smile: "Don't bother, Fujin rested late last night, and I slept more this morning, but it was still Niu Hulu Fujin's pinching at the right time, Fujin She just got up, and asked you to come to the old slave." Huizhu smiled back, left Xiao Ranzi waiting outside the house, and entered the main house with Mama Wang.
