Yang Ruoning, Chapter 8

On this day, the kitchen of Fan Lou was busy until late at night before the stove fire was extinguished. After a hard day's work, people dragged their tired bodies to sleep, and Yang Ruoning took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, took out the leftovers that were quietly left from the kitchen, and sat in the garden of the atrium.

In the dead of night, guests and servants rarely pass by. The small room is still so hot that she can't breathe, these days she secretly sits here every night, and when she is tired, she sleeps directly on the stone table.

In a few moments she heard the rustling of her skirt, and a little girl came to her. The girl didn't see it, and immediately sat on the stone bench next to Yang Ruoning, and unceremoniously picked up the snacks on the table and feasted on them.

Looking at the little girl's gobbling up, Yang Ruoning couldn't help but smile and said, "You eat slowly, these are all yours." ”

"How can my sister have so many delicious foods lately?" The little girl asked vaguely as she stuffed food into her mouth.

"It was brought back from Hui Niang's yard."

"Hui Niang? Isn't she not pick-up? ”

"There's a guest recently."

"Who?"

"I don't know."

"Oh oh~ Hui Niang's guests are all distinguished guests, no wonder the food is so delicious."

Yang Ruoning likes this little girl named Su Su very much. Su Su is a girl in the building, because she is still underage, she is still learning opera in the building for the time being, and she has not started to entertain guests. She has a round figure and is often asked to lose weight, and she is very gluttonous, so she always comes to the kitchen in the middle of the night to secretly forage for food. After coming and going, he became acquainted with Yang Ruoning. The two of them agreed that Yang Ruoning would be responsible for leaving her food every night, and in exchange, she needed to bring some paper and ink to Yang Ruoning.

In this era, paper and ink were still very expensive, and only those aristocratic literati could use it. All of Yang Ruoning's wages were used to pay for the house, so she naturally had no money to buy it. But Fan Lou has a lot of money, and in order to cater to the guests, he will teach the girls in the building to read and write. That's why she asked Su Su to bring her some paper and ink.

Yang Ruoning wanted to make some flyers similar to the missing poster and post them in crowded places all over the capital, hoping to find the girl.

Naturally, she wouldn't put the girl's portrait on this flyer. She could only scribble a camera. Anyone who knows the camera will definitely recognize it.

She drew a few sheets and then pushed the paper in front of Su Su. Su Su stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth and bit it, then picked up a pen and wrote Fan Lou's address on it.

"Sister, is there any news about this thing you were looking for recently?" She pointed to the painting and asked Yang Ruoning.

Yang Ruoning shook her head. "I'll go to a few more places tomorrow morning."

"Sister, I don't think you're doing this well. If you look at your drawing, I really don't know what you're drawing. "Su Su has always been very straightforward.

"Well, those who recognize it naturally know what it is." She replied, blowing the ink on the paper.

Su Su suddenly stabbed Yang Ruoning with her hand at this time, and said in a low voice, "Sister." ”

Yang Ruoning did not look up. "What's wrong?" Su Su did not answer. Yang Ruoning raised her head and followed Su Su's line of sight. There seemed to be a man in the shadows under the front porch. The man was hidden in the darkness, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he saw that he was a tall man. Yang Ruoning didn't hear his footsteps, and the man didn't know how long he had been standing there.

Yang Ruoning stood up with some vigilance. "What's the matter?" She asked.

The man then stepped out of the shadows. The lantern on the porch illuminated his face.

It's him. The man in the Hui Niang's house.

Yang Ruoning was a little surprised, and she didn't know why he was here so late.

Su Su bowed and bowed. "General Lowe."

It turned out that he was the famous General Luo. Yang Ruo stared at him for a moment. Su Su saw that she didn't react, and was afraid that she would be rude, so she quickly grabbed her sleeve and asked her to lean over. Yang Ruoning learned from Su Su's appearance and bowed to say hello.

"Girls don't have to be polite." His voice was deep and powerful.

Yang Ruoning and Su Su both knew that the courtyard of this front hall was for the exclusive use of guests, and maids like them would never come. Now that he has been bumped into by such a distinguished guest, if he is known by the steward, he will inevitably be scolded again.

Yang Ruoning said sorry while hurriedly cleaning up the messy paper and ink on the stone table. And Su Su didn't forget to stuff the remaining snacks in the bowl into his mouth at this time.

Suddenly I heard him ask. "Dare to ask the girl's name?"

Of course, she didn't think the general was asking her the name of the dishwasher, dressed in coarse linen and with messy hair. He was asking Su Su, but Yang Ruoning didn't raise his head and sped up the movements in his hand.

"Little Girl...... The name is Su Su...... "Next to Su Su's mouth, he didn't have time to swallow something, and he responded vaguely.

"What about you?"

Hearing him ask her, Yang Ruoning raised her head and met a pair of black and white eyes.

Yang Ruo stared at those beautiful eyes and felt that there seemed to be something inexplicable hidden behind the depth. She blurted out, "Oh, hi, my name is Yang Ruoning, it's nice to meet you...... What about your name? ”

"Luo Yuan." He replied, a smile that no one noticed.

Su Su on the side was really shocked when he heard this question and answer. She grabbed the things on the table and stuffed them into Yang Ruoning's arms, pulled Yang Ruoning up and walked to the backyard. Apologize as he walked, "General, this sister is stupid and doesn't understand the rules......"

Yang Ruoning also realized what was happening, and she ran out as if she were fleeing with Su Su.

Unexpectedly, I was lost by a handsome guy, did I lose my mind? The bustard's mother in the building gave her the rules when she entered the building, the first rule was that she could not ask the name of the guest, and she must use honorifics, and she had just lost her words. Well, the guest also knows her name. Yang Ruoning regretfully wanted to hit the wall.
