The wind was a little cool at night, blowing the yarn lamp under the eaves.

Luo Chanyi was about to close the window to sleep, and accidentally glanced out the window, and saw a flash of white in the direction of the south wall.

She settled down, could it be that Bai Wuchang is here again?

Luo Chanyi went out to look for it, and there was indeed a figure by the south wall, but the closer he got closer, the more he realized that something was wrong.

When the other party heard her footsteps, he was almost startled, and his back was pressed against the wall.

Only then did she see the other party clearly, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Sun ...... It's you! ”

Sun Mian hurriedly made a silent gesture: "Shhh He dragged her deep into the bushes.

"You jumped over the wall?" She looked at the tall courtyard wall behind him.

Sun Mian looked outside defensively and said, "I can't get in without jumping over the wall!" ”

A few days ago, he came to find Song Rou, and Luo Chanyi knew about the closed-door soup, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

She couldn't help but quip: "Did Sun Gongzi miss me too much and come to me." ”

In the past, when she said this, Sun Mian would definitely see stitches and needles, and say tens of thousands of sweet words from tired people.

At this time, he didn't have that flamboyant tongue, but responded a little perfunctorily, and said: "When you fell into the water, I was really anxious, but I really don't know how to water, so I can't save you." ”

Luo Chanyi smiled and nodded: "I know, how can I blame you......"

He looked in a direction beyond the bushes.

"You've seen me, and you've explained it, so go back." Luo Chanyi glanced at the wall behind him.

He subconsciously glanced in that direction again, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his usually cynical face, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "I want to see Rou'er." ”

Luo Chanyi already knew that he had climbed over the wall to find Song Rou, and his eyes had been aimed at the direction of Song Rou's room.

But she deliberately put on a puzzled expression: "Seeing what she is doing, isn't your sweetheart me?" ”

Sun Mian looked at her, his face showed a rare embarrassment, and he snorted for a while, but finally didn't say it.

The moonlight is not clear, but it is not difficult to find that Sun Mian seems to have lost weight, his cheeks are a little concave, and his cheekbones are more obvious.

She didn't want to continue to tease, so she just said: "She won't see you during the day, let alone at this time." ”

"Then you give her this letter for me." He pulled the letter out of the placket of his chest and shoved it into her hand without saying a word.

She glanced at the letter in her hand, and felt a little strange in her heart, she was not suitable to mix this matter anymore, otherwise the more she stirred up the water, the more confused it became.

"I don't care, you want to give it to yourself!"

"Who?" A cry came from not far away.

Luo Chanyi turned his head to look, only to see a lantern swaying rapidly in the dimness.

When he turned around, he saw that Sun Mian had already climbed the wall, his body climbing desperately upward, his movements clumsy and embarrassed.

With a "bang", there was a sound of landing outside the wall, obviously falling down in a panic.

"It's me!" Luo Chanyi walked out of the bushes and explained to the family: "I saw a cat, and then jumped off the wall and left. ”

The family came over and looked around, looked at the fine grass on the ground, and muttered suspiciously: "This cat is quite fat." ”

Luo Chanyi: "......"

Just after breakfast the next day, Luo Chanyi came to find Song Rou.

"If Miss Lu comes to apologize, you don't have to, my father has already told me."

Song Rou got up from the dresser, her black hair was coiled into a low tail bun, and there was no decorative bead hairpin, which made her temperament elegant and generous.

Luo Chanyi found at first glance that she had also lost weight.

She was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Miss Song, I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance, blame me ......"

"I don't blame you...... But I won't thank you. ”

Song Rou slowly walked to the window, slowly closed the open window, she faced the window for a while, and then said: "That's fine, I don't have to worry anymore, I don't have to guess over and over again, guess what he was doing when I wasn't there." ”

Luo Chanyi finally understood at this moment that Song Rou had never been the one who was kept in the dark, she knew Sun Mian's personality very well, and even knew him better than everyone else.

What she loves has always been the real Sun Mian.

Luo Chanyi was still hesitating before, but at this moment she knew what to do, and she took out the letter from her cuff: "This is what he asked me to hand over to you." ”

Song Rou turned around with some surprise, stared at the letter for a long time, walked over to take it, and handed it to the maid next to her with a turn of her arm: "It's burned." ”

"Wait," Luo Chanyi said a little anxiously, "You might as well see what he said." ”

Last night, Sun Mian's expression seemed to have a bit of a prodigal son's intention to turn back.

She added: "You used to just wait for him to change, maybe after this incident, he really changed." ”

Song Rou's expression has always been calm and cold, but after listening to her words, she suddenly smiled, and then a little tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Every time in the past, she thought so, but the reality will always show a mocking face and give you a heavy blow.

Before the tears fell, Song Rou turned around and walked to the bed: "I'm a little tired, and I'm missing Miss Lu." ”

The maid took the letter, glanced at Luo Chanyi at a loss, and walked in the direction of Song Rou: "Miss, this letter will be burned another day, and Xiaoyun will collect it first." ”

She knew too well the depth of her young lady's feelings for Sun Gongzi, and she didn't dare to burn it easily, for fear that she would regret it in the future.

"Burn it now." Song Rou said firmly, and walked into the gauze tent step by step.

Seeing that the letter burned in the flower pot and finally turned into a cloud of gray and black ashes, Luo Chanyi couldn't help but sigh and turned around and went out.

——

When Lu Jue handed over a "Family Picture" to Master Song, Master Song was overjoyed to see the picture and happily invited Mrs. Song to enjoy it together.

Mrs. Song was also full of praise, and threatened to bring it with her mother's house in a few days, so that her mother's family could also open their eyes.

However, when Lu Jue said goodbye, the smile on Master Song's face froze suddenly, he glanced at Mrs. Song, turned his head to Lu Jue and smiled: "No hurry, no hurry." ”

Master Song asked his wife to put away the painting, turned his head and pulled Lu Jue to sit down, he smiled kindly: "The old man has a reluctant request." ”

Lu Jue: "Master Song, please speak." ”

"Rou'er is now older, and she will inevitably marry in the future, we don't have many days to see her, and I asked Lu Gongzi to paint a portrait of Rou'er alone, so as to solve the pain of my husband and wife's thinking about my daughter, I have seen your painting work, and the carving skills of others, I can no longer be difficult to see."

Lu Jue was silent and said, "It's not difficult to landscape, but I'm really not good at characters." ”

"Yes, yes, you see how good the painting just now is, as long as you are willing to paint, the price is arbitrary."

Lu Jue shook his head: "It has nothing to do with money, I'm not good at drawing portraits." ”

Simply refuse.

Mrs. Song silently and carefully rolled the scroll on the side, and when she heard this, she turned her head to look at it and said to Master Song: "Since this is the case, don't embarrass Master Lu." ”

Master Song sighed faintly, and asked again, "Where is Gongzi Lu going?" ”

Lu Jue thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know yet." ”

"I asked the treasury to order a hundred taels of silver as a reward for this "Family Map", but the value of this picture is more than this one hundred taels, and Lu Gongzi should not dislike it. No matter what difficulties there are in the future, the door of the Song Mansion will always be open for you. ”

Master Song's words were not hurried or slow, and he was sincere.

Lu Jue nodded in thanks: "I only want to borrow fifty taels." ”

"This hundred taels are yours."

"I only borrowed fifty taels, and I will return it in person in the future."

Master Song wanted to continue to say something, but when he heard the second half of Lu Jue's sentence and returned it in person, he paused and finally nodded.

Looking at the figure of Lu Jue leaving, Master Song sighed deeply: "Such a talented gentleman who does not admire Rongli, how many people can there be in the world, and I don't know which family will be cheaper in the end, alas, I am really unwilling." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Song couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head.

Her husband is indifferent by nature, and she hasn't seen him so persistent about anything for a long time, she said: "Your unwillingness is written on your face, I'll think of a way." ”

Master Song turned his head to look at his wife, and a surprise appeared in his eyes: "Do you have a way?" ”

——

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Lu Jue opened the door, Luo Chanyi was standing at the door, raising his small fist and about to knock on the door.

Luo Chanyi looked at him, his eyes fell on the bamboo basket he was carrying behind him, and said strangely: "Can you carry it for lotus seeds?" ”

Picking lotus seeds? Lu Jue looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you would leave early this morning?" ”

"Didn't Mrs. Song say that before leaving, let us help pick some lotus seeds, she didn't tell you?"

Lu Jue was slightly stunned and shook his head.

"Now is a good time to pick lotus seeds, Mrs. Song also said," Speaking of this, she deliberately lowered her voice: "By the way, you can take Miss Song out for a walk, after we leave, there will be no one to accompany her." ”

Lu Jue's eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't move.

"Oh, don't be stunned." She directly took off the bamboo basket for him: "Let's go." ”

——

The lake where Luo Chanyi fell into the water is the only lake in Fuxing Town, but the name is very ordinary, called Xiaoshan Lake.

When the three of them arrived at the ferry, it was almost noon, and the whole lake was sparkling like a mirror, so that people did not dare to look at it directly.

There was a row of black-roofed boats parked by the lake, and the boatmen sat in the bow waiting for the guests, and after an occasional small talk, they walked over.

"Boatman, we don't rush to the waterway, we only go to the depths to pick lotus seeds, can we carry them?" Luo Chanyi walked over first and asked.

The boatman at the front stopped shaking his straw hat, looked at Luo Chanyi, looked at the two people behind her, and asked, "Are you from the Song Mansion?" ”

Luo Chanyi was a little surprised, and looked back at Song Rou, could it be the old acquaintance of the Song Mansion?

Song Rou obviously heard it too, and with the same confused look on her face, she continued to walk over and asked, "How is the Song Mansion?" ”

"Really!" The boatman buttoned the big straw hat to his head, got up and stood up: "The Song Mansion sits on me, and that one." ”

He pointed to the boat next to him and said, "Get on the boat, Master Song sent someone to explain early in the morning." ”

Luo Chanyi felt strange and emphasized: "There are only three of us." ”

The boatman also glanced at them and shook his head: "Then I don't know, Master Song ordered two boats." ”

Luo Chanyi had doubts in his heart, this kind of awning boat is not small, there is a small table in the middle, and there are more than three people on one side, adding up to six.

But there were only three of them, but they ordered two boats, how could the Song Mansion, which had always been diligent and thrifty, suddenly become extravagant.

Is there anyone else coming?
