Chapter 60: Concealment

Mu Ling froze in place, only to feel as if a piece was missing in her heart, and the cold wind poured into it from nowhere, making her feel uncomfortable.

Under the dead leaves, three lychees are buried.

The red color is very pleasant, because even the skin is still intact, and there is no rot here.

Ah Rui on the side saw that Mu Ling was stunned and didn't move, thinking that he had seen something new, and he also stepped forward. But he saw a few red fruits.

Without much thought, she picked up a twig, fiddled with one of the fruits, and said curiously, "Is this the peel?" But when the half buried underneath was also turned out, I saw that it was all round.

Ah Rui's eyes twitched, and she opened her mouth, not knowing how to react, she looked up to see Mu Ling's reaction.

"Sister Mu Ling, this ......"

The fruit was divided by the young lady when she thought of them, and if she was replaced by a maid in another courtyard, I am afraid that she would not have this blessing. Besides, lychees are already rare, not to mention that this is still out of season, it is usually just for them to take a look, which can be regarded as a feast for their eyes.

Ah Rui really can't figure out who would be so wasteful about eating. It's a pity that her brother hasn't tasted it yet, I don't know if I can eat it when I pick it up, anyway, there is a shell, it shouldn't be dirty, right?

Thinking like this, she had to reach out to pick it up, not wanting to be caught by the wood spirit.

After all, Mu Ling is the personal maid next to Miss, and she has seen more than Ah Rui, no matter how simple she is, it is impossible not to understand that this person either looks down on Miss or is dissatisfied with her.

She couldn't imagine how chilling she would be if Miss saw it. A piece of sincerity was sent out, but it was thrown into the mud.

But Miss Ke once told her that you can't pick up food that is thrown on the ground, and the poor are not poor, not to mention that although they are not rich now, they are not short of food and clothing.

Mu Ling put on his usual smile and said in a deep voice, "Don't pick it up, bury it deeper, so as not to make the young lady sad." ”

This is the backbone that the young lady taught with her.

Although Ah Rui felt pity in her heart, she had always been obedient, and when she heard this, she dug a small pit with a branch, dialed a few red lychees into it, and then covered the soil and dead leaves.

said that after Ruan Yuyi came back, Mu Ling called Mu Xiang aside and told her about it. The more Mu Xiang listened, the tighter her brows furrowed.

After hearing this, she was silent for a while, and said, "In any case, find out this person first, so that you can make the next step." ”

Mu Ling nodded in response, intending to ask later.

As she was talking, a maid who came from outside and bowed slightly, "Two girls, our Aunt Mei wants to ask the young lady to sit on her side, please go in and report it." ”

Whether the young lady has leisure or not is not up to them. The women in the backyard have always been female celebrities in the house, playing and fighting, not like the female officials in the palace, and there is nothing important. Therefore, whether there is leisure or not depends on whether you want to see that person or not.

When she pushed the door and entered, Ruan Yuyi was sitting upright in front of several cases, writing scriptures.

These cases were laid out under the windows, and the bright light from the outside filtered through the window paper, and only a little softness remained. Her face was submerged in such light, like fresh snow in the night, white and quiet.

How could such a little lady not make people happy.

Mu Xiang couldn't help but relax her hands and feet, and stepped forward to call, "Miss." ”

Ruan Yuyi heard the movement of her pushing the door, and continued to write in her hand, while saying, "I thought that copying scriptures was an extremely boring thing, but these days, it has been so much, and I can transcribe it when I think about it." ”

"Yes," Mu Xiang chimed in, "our young lady is very patient. As he spoke, he remembered that it was not good to make Aunt Mei's people outside wait too long.

So he said, "Miss, Aunt Mei wants to invite you to sit with her." ”

Her pen was held in a moment's time, and the ink leaked from the pen.

In the past, she and Aunt Mei rarely intersected, and when they met each other, they said hello, according to her own temperament, if she was not seen by the other party, she could hide and hide, lest the two of them be very strange, and they would hinder their face, so as to find something to talk about.

She glanced at the badly written word, sighed regretfully, ignored the word, and continued to write, "Aunt rarely remembers me, so let's go." You go back to her. ”

Mu Xiang retreated.

After that, Ruan Yuyi tidied up a little and went to Aunt Mei's place.

Aunt Mei's residence is not big, but the courtyard is no less lifeless than hers, the shrubs and flowers are carefully trimmed, and the small courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and it can be seen at a glance that the owner here is living a good life.

As soon as I walked to the front of the steps, I heard a curling sound of the piano inside, low and tactful, like sad and weeping, which shows that the mood of the person who strokes the piano is not bright.

When Nguyen Yuyi entered, the song was reaching its climax. Her hands flicked rapidly, and the noisy strings came from under her fingers, like a glass cup shattering, fierce but oppressive.

In the end, it ended with a "bang", and the end was a lingering sound, which did not disperse for a long time.

Ruan Yuyi stood quietly at the door and listened, and when she saw that the sound of the piano was gone, she said, "I heard that Aunt Mei is good at the guzheng, and when I heard it today, it was really so." ”

After receiving the appreciation, Aunt Mei couldn't help but smile and said humbly, "The young lady praises falsely." It's just for fun. ”

She was wearing a smoke-willow-colored wide skirt today, sitting in front of the piano, and her whole body seemed to be full of fairy energy. Xu is because she is pregnant for the first time and has no appetite, so people look at the weight loss, which adds a little bit of sick beauty.

She got up from the low stool and bowed to Ruan Yuyi, Ruan Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Auntie now that she has a body, she has to be careful in everything, and these red tapes will be avoided." ”

No matter how favored the concubine is, it is not much higher than the status of the maid, which is the reason why over the years, even if Master Cheng has snubbed the Cheng Zhu family, the Cheng Zhu family can still suppress the Mei family.

Ruan Yuyi seemed to have found her future appearance from her, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and her tone was a little softer, "Auntie's piano is mournful, but it's not like what you said." ”

She knew that Aunt Mei would not come to sit with her for no reason, and she must have something to say to her. It's just that Aunt Mei didn't follow her words, but gently bent the corners of her lower lip and said:

"The concubine also heard that the young lady was a must in Wuzhou, and I don't know if the concubine was lucky enough to see it. The concubine just has a song here that has just been composed, which can be reconciled with the young lady. ”

The title of "Wuzhou is a must" is just that when she went to the banquet in the past, she was invited to come for a short time, she always thought that it was just a small circle of people who knew, but she didn't expect Aunt Mei to have heard of it.

Since she is a dancer, her sense of musicality will not be bad. Hearing Aunt Mei's proposal, she was interested, so she responded with her head.
