Chapter 21: Hibiscus Leaves
"Tell me something." Lin Luo sat on the chair and said coldly.
"Lin Luo, can't you be more enthusiastic about me?" Lu Taotao said.
"You don't want to be enthusiastic about you, you can't ask everyone to be enthusiastic about you." Lin Luo said impatiently.
"Why are you so cruel to me, you were obviously very gentle yesterday." Lu Taotao said.
"Yesterday I was afraid that something would happen to you, since you are fine, take a good rest." Lin Luo said, walked out of the room, and came to find the owner of the village.
"Madam, the vixen has been removed, and your great vengeance has been avenged." Lin Luo Dao.
"Thank you for your kindness, young man, please bow to the old man." As she spoke, the lady of the village owner was about to salute Lin Luo.
"Madame can't help it, Lin still wants to ask Madame to arrange two more vacant rooms." Lin Luo Dao.
"What's so hard about that? Come on, arrange two more empty rooms for the young man! The owner of the village said.
"Thank you, madam, then I'll go back to the room first." Lin Luo Dao.
"Young man, and slow." The wife of the owner of the village called Lin Luodao, "Early tomorrow morning, we will bury the big boss, and the day after tomorrow we will close the cottage and move the family to Furong Village to join the brother." I wonder if a few young heroes can escort a ride? ”
Lin Luo said: "Madam, can you allow Lin to think about it." ”
"Absolutely." Madame said.
Lin Luo said goodbye to the owner of the village for a while, came to find the earth spirit, and said, "Earth spirit, do you pass by Furong Village when you go to Panruo Mountain?" ”
"Master, Furong Village is on the way to Prajna Mountain." Earth Spirit Road.
"That's good." Lin Luo said, and went to the wife of the owner of the village and told her that she could escort her. Madame is again very grateful. Lin Luo went back to the room to rest and didn't mention it.
After Yujing returned to the room, he saw Yang Yi sitting there sullenly. Yang Yi was also feeling guilty about throwing away the jade mirror because he was worried about Lu Taotao. The brother and sister had nothing to say, and the atmosphere was very awkward. Yujing went to bed angrily, and Yang Yi sat on the chair in a daze.
Lu Taotao felt aggrieved by Lin Luo's cold attitude towards her, and she hid in the bed and secretly wiped her tears.
It was getting late, everyone was resting, and it was another busy day.
In the middle of the night, Lu Taotao was depressed and couldn't sleep, so she put on her clothes and came to the courtyard to sit on the stone steps, holding her chin, looking at the moon in a daze.
Duanmu Rongye was also tossing and turning because he was worried about the beauty, and he couldn't sleep. He got up and got out of bed, and saw that the moonlight outside the window was very good, so he also went to the courtyard to admire the moon.
Duanmu Rongye came to the courtyard and saw a woman sitting on the stone steps looking at the moon and sighing, and suddenly felt curious. When he got closer, it turned out to be the girl he had been thinking about for a long time, and he was very happy in his heart.
"The jade step is born with white dew, and the night has invaded Luo socks for a long time, but the water essence curtain is lowered, and the autumn moon is exquisitely watched." Duanmu Rongye said.
"Who's making fun of me?" Lu Taotao stood up and turned around, saw Duanmu Rongye, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"At the lower end of Mu Rongye, it is the nephew of the lady of the village owner. At the right time, I saw the girl sitting here looking at the moon and sighing, I felt it, not to make fun of it, and I hope the girl will forgive me for the offense. Duanmu Rongye said.
"It turned out to be Duanmu Gongzi." Lu Taotao said.
"I wonder if the girl has any troubles, so it's inconvenient to say it? Although he is not talented, he may be able to persuade one or two. Duanmu Rongye said.
Lu Taotao saw that he was the white-clothed man he saw in the morning, he was personable, and he was not very annoying, and he was also the nephew of the owner of the village, so he vomited bitterness.
"What is the situation in the world? Straight Christians promise life and death. Lu Taotao said.
"It turns out that the girl is also trapped by love." Duanmu Rongye Road.
"Also trapped by love? Do you not sleep in the middle of the night, and you are also trapped by love? Lu Taotao said.
"It's not a secret, I like a girl in my heart, but I don't even know who her surname is, where she lives, and how old she is. You can only come here to admire the moon to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Duanmu Rongye said.
"Where is that girl now?" Lu Taotao asked.
"It's a glimpse, looking for a needle in a haystack." Duanmu Rongye Road.
"Then you are worse than me, you don't even know where your sweetheart is, at least I can still see him every day." Lu Taotao said.
When Duanmu Rongye heard this, he thought: It turns out that this girl is already famous, and she can't help but feel gloomy. Then he asked, "Since the girl's sweetheart is by her side, why are she so troubled?" Could it be that you quarreled with him? ”
"We were childhood sweethearts, but now he has a new love and abandoned me......" Speaking of this, Lu Taotao touched the sad place, and it was inevitable that a burst of pear blossoms brought rain.
Duanmu Rongye looked at her and thought: Such a beautiful woman will also be abandoned, does her lover have no beads? I can't help but feel a little resentful in my heart. said: "He is ruthless, why can't you forget about each other in the rivers and lakes and choose another good match?" ”
There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned but was in my heart. Thank you for your explanation, I'm going back to the room, and Childe should rest early. Lu Taotao and Duanmu Rongye said goodbye and went back to the room to sleep.
Duanmu Rongye also returned to the room, lying on the bed, thinking: What an infatuated woman, I will definitely meet his lover tomorrow.
The next day is the day of the burial of the owner of the village. Everyone got up early to attend the funeral.
The crowd wept all the way to the cemetery. After the coffin, the wife of the owner of the village led the brothers in the village to worship again and again. After the funeral, everyone returned to Taoye Village. The wife of the owner of the village was very sad and unwell, accompanied by her son, in a small sedan chair, escorted by the servants, and returned to Taoye Village first.
The others are not in a hurry, and their steps are very leisurely. Yujing and Lin Luo walked in front hand in hand, and Lu Taotao and Earth Spirit walked side by side and followed behind. Yang Yi looked at Lu Taotao's back from afar, followed behind Taotao and the earth spirit, and paced slowly. Duanmu Rongye and the others followed behind everyone again.
Lu Taotao didn't sleep well last night, and she was a little cold in the middle of the night admiring the moon in the courtyard, and she saw Yujing and Lin Luo being very close. She was even more depressed and suddenly coughed.
"Ahem......" Lu Taotao covered her mouth and coughed.
The Earth Spirit slapped her on the back. Seeing this, Yang Yi rushed up.
"Momo, are you alright?" Yang Yi asked.
"Yang Yi, I'm fine." Lu Taotao said.
At this time, Duanmu Rongye chased after him. He accused Yang Yi with a slashed face: "You are her sweetheart, right?" caused her to sit on the stone steps in the middle of the night and get cold. Now that you have a new love, don't provoke this girl again, stay away from her! ”
Yang Yi was stunned by this sudden accusation.
"What do you say? It's just inexplicable! Do you know Miss Lu well? Yang Yi crossed his waist and said helplessly.
At this time, Yujing and Lin Luo heard the quarrel, turned back, and stepped forward to understand the situation.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Jade Mirror asked.
"Sister, I just heard Miss Lu coughing and came over to care, who knew that this guy came up and said a lot of inexplicable things. Say I already have a new love, don't provoke Miss Lu again. Yang Yi said.
Duanmu Rongye said: "In the lower Duanmu Rongye, it is the nephew of the wife of the owner of the village, and the young owner of Furong Village. Last night I was admiring the moon in the courtyard, and I happened to meet this girl sitting on the stone steps sighing, so I chatted with her a few words. I heard that she was abandoned by her sweetheart, so she was upset for her. ”
Lin Luo said: "Duanmu Gongzi is afraid that there is some misunderstanding, this Yang Gongzi and Miss Lu are just ordinary friends. ”
Duanmu Rongye looked at Lin Luo and Yujing, and then looked at Lu Taotao's eyes at Lin Luo, only to realize that he had made a mistake. However, seeing Yang Yi's expression of concern for Lu Taotao, he already regarded him as a rival in love.
"I don't know what your Excellency is called?" Duanmu Rongye asked Lin Luodao.
"In Xia Lin Luo, this is my fiancée Glass Jade Mirror." Lin Luo Dao.
As soon as Lu Taotao heard the words "fiancée", her heart suddenly turned to ashes, and she coughed even more.
Yang Yi hurriedly patted her back, and then accompanied Lu Taotao to the cottage with the earth spirit.
Lu Taotao walked forward, and looked back from time to time, her eyes revealing a trace of despair, and her heart was like a knife.
Duanmu Rongye saw this scene and knew it in his heart. He also saw that the jade mirror was bright and good-eyed, and he knew that this Brother Lin was not a prodigal person with no eyes and beads, but just a flower in his own eyes.
"Brother Lin, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, what is the relationship between you and Miss Lu?" Duanmu Rongye asked.
"Our two families are world friends, and I have always regarded her as a sister." Lin Luo said.
"I see, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, little brother is rude." Duanmu Rongye made an apology.
"It's okay, it's fate to get acquainted, and everyone will be friends in the future." Lin Luo said.
"When everyone arrives at Furong Village, the younger brother will prepare a banquet to make amends to you." Duanmu Rongye Road.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Duanmu Gongzi is serious, please." Lin Luo said.
"Brother Lin, please." Duanmu Rongye Road.
The three of them returned to Taoye Village together, and each went back to the house to pack their bags, preparing to leave for Furong Village the next day.
