Chapter 204: Disciplined
Walking on the muddy road, embroidered shoes for a short time, the hem has been splashed with dark yellow mud, Baolian in Xiao Ranzi's arms felt this situation, pointed to the lotus-colored embroidered shoes of Huizhu, tilted her little head and said: "Mother, the shoes are dirty." Hearing this, the people who were breathing stagnant couldn't help but look in the direction of Baolian's finger, were dumbfounded for a moment, and then went back to their own devices.
Feeling that many eyes were brushing together, Hui Zhu woke up from the shock, no longer bothered by Yinzhen's call of "Hui Niang", raised and looked at the straight and thin back a few steps away, remembering that Yinzhen pursed her thin lips without saying a word along the way, that is, Shicai Baolian sweetly called "Dad" in the pergola, and did not change Yinzhen's good face, still looking at her with slightly angry eyes.
Huizhu didn't want to think about it anymore with a headache, so she squeezed Baolian's little hand happily stretched out, and a little dejected Yibu followed behind Yinzhen, went up the bluestone steps, passed through the secluded path of the raindrop field, and went back to the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard door, Fugui had already been waiting with someone, and when he saw Yinzhen and his party coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, until he caught a glimpse of Huizhu who was slightly embarrassed behind everyone, his eyes flashed, and he immediately looked away. Huizhu noticed Fugui's dodge, but she didn't blame him, after all, his real master was Yinzhen, not her, if it was really counted, Yinzhen was still her master, so she really didn't care about Fugui's full disclosure.
In her mind, she was surrounded by the maid and the maid and went back to the embroidery building, and Baolian asked Mama Rong to take care of her, and she was also led to the bathing room to bathe and change clothes.
When she was grooming, she moved slightly slower than usual, but in fact, she just wanted to delay time, so that she could figure out how to explain when facing Yin Zhen for a while.
Packing up, Huizhu reluctantly came to the upper room, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Yinzhen wearing a light cyan silk shirt and lying on the low couch by the window, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep. Xiao Luzi and Chen Zaiyi bowed down and stood on the short tail, and when they saw Huizhu entering the house, they hurriedly said to Qian'er, "The slave invites Niu Hulu to Fujin Da'an." ”
Huizhu just stepped into the threshold with his right foot, opened his eyes, and just met the gaze cast by Yinzhen, his heart instantly cooled, and then pulled out a smile, walked to the house, and squatted and said, "Concubine, please Da'an." Yin Zhen didn't seem to like Huizhu's smiling face, and his displeasure was undisguised, and Fang closed his eyes and ordered: "Imperial Doctor Chen, you go and ask her for a peace pulse, but it's not appropriate." Xiao Luzi, let the kitchen set the meal. The two of them took their own orders.
Huizhu walked to the chair opposite Yinzhen and sat down in confusion, gave her right hand to Imperial Doctor Chen, and was asked by Imperial Doctor Chen to open her mouth to see the color of the tongue coating, and then drank a cup of water with a somewhat sour taste, only to see Imperial Doctor Chen get up and say to Yinzhen: "Hui Ye, the slave has checked Niu Hulu Fujin and there is nothing unusual, but the slave still prepares antidote water, just in case, please rest assured." Yin Zhen nodded with satisfaction and waved away Imperial Doctor Chen.
At that time, Xiao Luzi had already set up the food, Huizhu hurriedly threw away the reason for Dr. Chen's diagnosis, walked to the dining table, sat down on Yinzhen's right hand, and carefully and thoughtfully served Yinzhen with the sound of noon, and after a meal, Yinzhen just silently used the food and did not say a word, therefore, Huizhu did not dare to say more, lest it be too wrong to say more, but it made Yinzhen even more unhappy. But now that the ringing afternoon has run out, Yinzhen has comfortably sipped the tea, Xiao Luzi also led the servants in the house to retreat, and lowered the bamboo curtain very intimately, but Yinzhen was still silent, it seemed that he was ready to hang her aside.
White smoke rose from the room, and the faint scent of sandalwood spread along with the wisps of smoke, lingering in the room. The four doors of the low square are half-supported and half-covered, and the residual rainwater flows down the eaves and over the window sash, dripping down intermittently, making a crisp sound, "ticking and ticking" around the ears.
In normal times, Huizhu will definitely enjoy this quiet moment, and also do the crow thing of listening to the sound of rain through the window. However, at this moment, Huizhu's heart was not quiet, she was restless, she hesitated for a long time, and she still found an excuse and said: "Master, I don't know if Bao'er has drunk medicine and eaten?" The concubine wanted to go and see. Yin Zhen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he refused directly without opening his eyes: "No need, Baolian has already taken medicine and fallen asleep, don't wake her up." ”
Huizhu looked at Yinzhen as if she was an old god, pursed her lips, and said in a natural voice: "Really? The concubine was going to see Bao'er some time later. Yinzhen didn't squeak, Huizhu was silent for a while, and had to say again: "It's hot at this time, and Ye Qianyue just brought Hongli over...... Well, the concubine thought, the master should not come this month, so as not to attract the heat. ”
With a "bang", the lid of Yinzhen tea was closed, and then he opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze stared ahead for a moment. Huizhu suddenly felt two terrifying gazes fall on her, and she couldn't help but look up to meet that gaze, but saw that Yinzhen had squinted her eyes slightly, and a cold light appeared in her eyes, and Hui couldn't help but shrink her body.
Yin Zhen's cold gaze caught Huizhu's almost imperceptible trembling, and seeing that the effect was achieved, his thin lips outlined: "If you hadn't come here suddenly today, I wouldn't have known that you often went out with Baolian in disguise." Speaking of this, Yin Zhenluo got up, walked to Huizhu in two steps, and sneered: "I also knew at first that you were going out with Baolian, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and mix with the peasant women in the market." There is no unventilated wall in this world, you are dignified in the side of Prince Yong's mansion, you don't know the rules, disregard etiquette, pretend to be a village woman walking in the countryside, if there is an accident, it is one thing for you to have an accident, even Hongli Baolian will also suffer, Hongli He will not want a future in the future. ”
Huizhu was stunned, and she was afraid that after these three months of comfortable life, she forgot that the capital or the palace is now a one-touch situation, if the news of her walking in the countryside spreads, maybe what it will look like, even with Hongli Baolian will be poked in the back.
Yinzhen couldn't miss the slight changes on Huizhu's face, seeing that Huizhu had remorse, his anger eased a little, but his tone was still not very good: "Jingli praises you for knowing the rules, and you are all looking away." Who would have thought that you were so stupid, and you found a way to send the handle to others...... What about you? I still think I'm smart, pretending to be a talented lady, a fourth lady? Do you think others don't know? The little guy who delivered fish and meat in the courtyard of the house was not from that village, where was it? DID YOU KNOW? ”
In the face of Yinzhen's repeated questions, Huizhu's face was not pale, especially when she heard the little guy who sent the fish and meat, which made her recall that Xiaojuan complained yesterday that Xiao Si didn't send the fish on time. Thinking of this, Huizhu took the first step back, stabilized her mind, and hurriedly asked, "Master?" What is Xiao Si who sent fish and meat? ”
Yin Zhen frowned again, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to ask about this, as long as you don't walk in the countryside in disguise as a peasant woman, it's fine." Huizhu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and knew that she was too arbitrary, bit her lower lip, and said softly: "Xie Ye reminds that the concubine was negligent." ”
When Yinzhen heard the word "negligence", he was displeased, but he looked at Huizhu as if he was shocked, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back, paced down again, and said: "There is another thing, the concubine of Hongshi gave birth to a son safely the day before yesterday, and that is the eldest grandson of Prince Yong's mansion." ”
Zhong has already given birth safely? Listening to the meaning of Yin's true words, he attaches great importance to this eldest grandson. Huizhu thought for a moment and replied: "The concubine knows, the Zhong family is happy, and the concubine will prepare a congratulatory gift." Yinzhen said "um", and asked Baolian about her ear disease, Huizhu answered in detail, Yinzhen got up and said, "I won't stay here tonight, well, so be it." With that, he called Xiao Luzi to prepare to leave.
When Yinzhen walked to the bamboo curtain, Huizhu hurriedly called: "Master, wait a minute!" Yin Zhen stopped when he heard this, and looked at Huizhu speechlessly. Huizhu choked a little in her throat and hesitated, Yinzhen raised her eyebrows impatiently, Huizhu was heartbroken, the children were born two, where did she come from such a twisted attitude, moved a few steps forward, and whispered: "Ye is bending to pretend to be Xiucai today, in order to help the concubine cover up...... That, concubine...... Xie Ye is not right. ”
Yin Zhen listened to Huizhu's words in the first and second words, and did not answer accordingly, but said: "In the next few months, I can't take a break, and there will be fewer comes." With that, he lifted the curtain and left. Huizhu was stunned for a while, and before she could think about Yinzhen's words, she hurriedly followed out of the house and personally sent Yinzhen out of the bluestone path.
Back in the house, Xiao Ranzi and Xiao Juan, who were timid, also returned to the upper room from the teahouse, and looked at Huizhu with no different expression, knowing that Yinzhen was not to blame, and the two of them were relieved. Xiao Ranzi smiled even more and recalled: "Master, the master will suddenly appear, but it scared the slave miserably." Especially when I thought of Ye's expressionless appearance, my eyes trembled. The words stopped, glanced at the bamboo curtain a few times, and continued with a thief and a thief: "Master, but the clothes of the people in the cloth clothes of the master are really troublesome, and the slaves look at it from a distance, and they really have a bit of a sense of showmanship, especially the ...... of calling the master's 'Hui Niang'."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ranzi seemed to have gained courage, straightened up, and said in amazement: "The master and the master are really like a talented couple, 'Hui Niang' and 'Ai Si'...... Yes, there are also 'Four Ladies'. Xiao Juan glanced at Xiao Ranzi and said: "The momentum of the master, how can it be compared to the country show, you didn't see it, the peasant woman who was still laughing was looked at coldly by the master, and they were silent faster than anyone else." But...... When the master called his master Huiniang in a faint tone, he really frightened the slave and maid, but it was a bit like a Xiucai couple. After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. Huizhu kept chattering in the ears of the two of them, but her thoughts drifted to that time, Yinzhen appeared in front of her mother and daughter seriously, and called her "Hui Niang" lightly...... Huiniang, I'll pick you and Bao'er back......
