"I don't know that the little prince is here."

She blessed him as if she were a regular visitor.

Du Rui silently looked at her cuffs, and tore the ribbon on her hand into two pieces. Subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab her hand, but it reached into the air and stopped. He coughed and looked away, gesturing, "You raise your hand, I'll wrap it around for you." ”

Liuli figured out what he meant, and dared him to use this strap to wrap up her cuffs, so as to cover the stain. It's a good idea to think of this way, the color of the strap is similar to the color of the clothes, and if both sleeves are wrapped in ribbons, it can also be used as a special decoration. Then he lifted up his hand and stretched it out to him.

Du Rui's fingers are very slender, but they are not slender for his age, and they even have some calluses on them. The saint is still martial, so even the children of the royal family will learn some martial arts to a greater or lesser extent, judging from his skills that night, maybe it is the practice of martial arts. He wrapped the ribbon around her wrist a few times, then tied a small plum knot on it, and said, "That's fine." ”

Liuli raised her hands and looked at it, and it was very carefully wrapped, looking like a plum blossom decoration on the cuffs, and then said with satisfaction: "It really solves my urgent need." Thank you very much. ”

She looked up and looked at him with joy, only to find that the bun on the top of his head was bare, and the ribbon was actually his bun, so torn into two pieces, it had become useless. Seeing him like this, Liuli was a little embarrassed, and said, "It's not appropriate for you to go out like this." Actually, I don't have to, it makes me feel like I owe you-"

"You smashed me in a bloody hole last time." Du Rui touched the small scar on the corner of his forehead, interrupted her, and said, "Speaking of which, you owe me a lot." ”

Liuli was stunned, and became more and more embarrassed, "That thing, I'm really sorry." ”

Du Rui looked at her. Snorted slightly: "Stupid girl." ”

Ruri saw that he didn't look like he really held a grudge. secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that if he married Yuhua and became a relative in the future, he would inevitably meet again, so he diverted from this and said casually: "Why are you here?" I thought there was no one here. Fortunately, you are no one else, and you have seen me a long time ago, and if you are bumped into by someone else, I am afraid that I will lose face. ”

After all, it was a little unnatural because he had never spoken privately to a man of the same age.

Du Rui stood across from her three paces away. He looked at her thoughtfully.

Liuli felt that seeing him this time seemed to be a little different, and she didn't know if it was because of Yuhua. I felt that it was very inappropriate to stay with him like this any longer, so I said, "Let's go." After saying that, she felt that this was even more out of proportion, why did she call him "we"? If only Yuhua said it. Then he hesitated again, and looked up at him, for fear that he would misunderstand.

Du Rui was also afraid that outsiders would bump into him and cause gossip with her here, so he had to resist the urge to see her before deciding to propose marriage at home. I heard her say that he was not an outsider, and he was already very excited in his heart. Seeing that she proposed to leave, he had already raised his feet, and when he saw her stop again, he couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" ”

Liuli smiled and said, "Xiao Shizi should go first." It's not like to go out like this. ”

Du Rui thought about it, so he nodded and said, "You go first." I'll wait for you to go. ”

Liuli didn't fight with him for this, so he put away the silk and went to the main courtyard.

Du Rui suddenly caught up again, "It's not that you don't know my name, call me by name next time." It's not allowed to be called Xiao Shizi. ”

Liuli paused for a long time before answering vaguely. The next time, they don't know when they will meet next time!

Along the way, no one saw that Liuli's makeup was inappropriate, and when she returned to the main courtyard, all the female guests had already gone to the table for dinner, and the old lady's current situation could no longer allow her to do such a laborious thing, so Aunt Su accompanied her to eat in Anxi Hall, and Liang went with Qi to accompany the guests.

Liuli went back to Shouyuan and changed her clothes, and combed her hair again before coming out. Rui'er couldn't help but ask why she went to the fourth room to get to the current situation, and when she told Yanhua that she was crazy, Rui'er lost her anger. When she saw that there were two extra straps in her changed clothes, she said, "What is this?" ”

Liuli turned her head and said, "Temporarily use it to cover your sleeves." ”

Rui'er said, "Is that to keep or throw away?" ”

Liuli remembered Du Rui, if he threw this belt away, it would seem that he had lost some of his mind, so he bit his lip and said, "Keep it." When he said this, he felt his heart beating wildly, if he kept it, it would be tantamount to teaching him privately, and he would still be Yuhua's man in the future, what does it mean to keep it like this? Then he said again: "It's better to throw it away." ”

Rui'er saw that she was so hesitant, but it was not like her usual appearance, in case she would ask for it again in the future, so she didn't listen to her, and still took the strap to wash it and put it away without mentioning it.

After the luncheon, most of the guests had left, except for a few close families who were left to accompany the people of He Mansion to send Yanhua to the sedan chair. After the banquet is dispersed here, it is time for the party to welcome the relatives to come, and most of the guests who have left will also prepare to go to Fengyuanbo's Mansion for dinner.

At dusk, Uncle Feng Yuan, who was about the same age as He Xiuyuan, led a team to knock on the door, and in the midst of the gongs and drums, Yan Hua finally got on the sedan chair honestly and went to be her uncle and wife. Nie's crying was so broken that although he was suspected of being a joke, Liuli also saw a bit of sincerity from it. Without Yan Hua, He Xiuyuan is now gradually getting closer to Aunt Feng, and the Nie family is afraid that his future life will be a little lonelier than before.

With Yan Hua's marriage, the house seems to be quiet again, because there are fewer and fewer girls, and it is a whole table of spectacular dinners that are no longer used to have dinners.

As the days slipped past autumn and into the middle of winter, the old lady's movements became more and more difficult, and the time to get out of bed became longer and longer. Liuli roughly calculated, from the top back to the present, the old lady has not entered the Buddhist hall for more than three months. Because lying in bed is not as convenient as under the bed, and there can be no shortage of people at all times, the number of waiters in the main courtyard has increased, and Liuli has also transferred Chunxiang back, and is in charge of the old lady's decoction together with Red Plum Green Lotus and Dongmei.

As the days went on, the old lady slept for more and more time, and if she was not awakened, she could sometimes sleep for seven or eight hours. When she was awake, she sometimes listened to Ruri talk about rumors outside, and sometimes she listened to her read the Bible. Although everyone didn't say anything, they knew in their hearts that the old lady's days were really numbered. Liuli wanted her to go comfortably, so she said goodbye to Shuhua and others, and let them often go to Anxi Hall to talk with her, Yuhua now also goes to the main courtyard from time to time to sit, and sees that Liuli is still as loving and ignoring as before, but Liuli can detect the deep hatred under her eyebrows.

Du Rui often comes to He Mansion now, and even Liuli happened to see his back when he went to Wutong once. It's just that his marriage to Yuhua has still not been put on the agenda, and I don't know when it will be.

In order to wait for the old lady, Liuli has now greeted Guo Yao, and has stopped his class for the time being, at least after this period. Guo Yao still has a faint look on Liuli's face now, but she can also sense that this unsmiling female teacher has actually broken many rules for herself, and if she really only treats herself as an ordinary student, it is not worth her to do this. Liuli had a deep chat with her in the study of Wutong Courtyard about her thoughts on He Fu, and Guo Yao finally gave her four words: Win in stability. Liuli pondered the deep meaning of the words and cited them as admonitions.

In the past few days, it has been snowing heavily, and the old lady is coughing more and more, and when Liuli waited with a spittoon in the morning, she suddenly found that the phlegm was bloody! Qingshang couldn't help but let out a low cry from the side, so bluffing that she almost dropped the spittoon to the ground. When the old lady heard the commotion, she said, "What is the matter?" His voice was so weak that it was as if he had only one breath left. Liuli tried to stabilize her mind and replied: "It's okay, it's just that I almost slipped and fell, and Qingshang made too much fuss." ”

The old lady was silent and closed her eyes again.

After Liuli went out, he immediately called someone to invite Wu Yinzhong, Wu Yinzhong came to the back and looked at the spittoon solemnly, and checked the pulse for the old lady, but he didn't make a sound for a long time. Liuli motioned for him to go outside and asked, "What is the approximate situation, we also know it in our hearts, Dr. Wu might as well say it directly." ”

Wu Yinzhong said: "It's been two or three days." ”

After all, Liuli couldn't help but be stunned, endured her sour nose, and said, "Is there any way to make her old man feel more relaxed these days?" ”

Wu Yinzhong sighed, "I'll prick her with two stitches." But it can only make her old man more comfortable, not prolonging her life. ”

Ruri nodded, got up and let him into the house.

After the needle, the old lady was obviously more conscious, Liuli fed her half a bowl of rice porridge at noon, and showed her a few pictures of her newly embroidered uppers. The old lady came back early, and Liuli told him what Wu Yinzhong said, and he sat on the Taishi chair, as if he was suddenly ten years old, and it took a long time before he entered the old lady's house.

The rooms also quickly learned the news, and in the past few days, the Liang family, the Qi family, and the Nie family have been walking more and more diligently to Anxi Hall, and Yuhua and several other girls have also stopped class, and they have been talking to the old lady for a while while while she is sober.

The day when the heavy snow stopped was Xiao Nian, and when the sky was bright, the old lady suddenly woke up, and her voice was very clear: "Where is the glass?" ”

Liuli was warming rice porridge by the stove, and when she heard the call, she immediately got up and went to the bedside, and the old lady said, "Help me sit up." Liuli hadn't helped her sit up for two months, and when she saw that she was in good spirits, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Qingshang to help her up carefully. The old lady said, "Old lady, are they still in the house?" ”
