Chapter 09

When she learned that Shen Yu suddenly ordered her to serve in the past, Rong Jin was still a little inexplicable, and after Cheng Ying added the sentence "Don't be too pure", she vaguely guessed something, and after a little hesitation, she simply asked, "Is there anyone here today?" ”

Thinking that he would see him later, Cheng Ying didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "It's the county lord of Ming'an." ”

Rong Jin had heard the name of this county lord, and knew that this was the pearl of the palm raised by the Empress Dowager Qin's brocade clothes and jade food, and in her early years, she had seen her BMW Xiangche travel posture-

The attendants couldn't count them on two hands, and the guards who cleared the way for them were even more powerful.

Now that the county lord of Ming'an has come to visit, Shen Yu wants her to show up to serve, and the intention is self-evident.

Rong Jin finally figured out why Shen Yu accepted him in the Li Wangfu in the first place, laughed helplessly, and then turned out the rouge gouache in the makeup box to apply makeup.

She neatly re-combed her hair bun, and changed the hairpin ring hairpin that was originally in King Li's Mansion to a newly cut set of azure-colored skirts, with wide sleeves and a slender waist, which should be able to meet Shen Yu's intentions.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to go over empty-handed," Rong Jin glanced at the sky and asked Cheng Ying, "Is Childe's medicine boiled today?" ”

Cheng Ying understood and quickly arranged it.

Rong Jin cut his sideburns, brought out the smile he had practiced countless times, and entered the flower hall with the medicine bowl.

In addition to Shen Yu, there was also a beauty in a red dress sitting in the flower hall.

She is wearing the most expensive Shu embroidery material, which is as beautiful as a peach and plum, and the string of eastern pearls on the step is swaying slightly, which shows the dignity of her identity, and her complexion is more and more moving.

She was gossiping with Shen Yu, her expression was focused, she looked like a little daughter, and the friendship in her eyes couldn't be hidden. But after seeing Rong Jin who entered the door, he was stunned and forgot to say half of what he said.

Rong Jin sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that he was like the kind of marriage stirring up in the script, but with Shen Yu looking at it, she had to be this wicked person.

"Childe, it's time for you to take medicine," Rong Jin ignored the county lord of Ming'an, stepped forward and bowed to Shen Yuyingying, with a little intimacy in his tone, "It's not good if you miss the hour." ”

And Shen Yu was not as detached as before, and even smiled and took the medicine bowl from her hand.

Rong Jin was stunned by his smile, and didn't dare to look at Shen Yu, so he quietly looked away.

The two have never played against each other, but they have already tacitly acted, at first glance, it seems that there is a matter, but this "harmony and beauty" is in the eyes of the onlooker Ming'an County Lord, which is particularly dazzling.

Ming An knew that there were few maids around Shen Yu, let alone those who seemed so close, so he immediately guessed Rong Jin's identity, and his face sank in an instant.

Recently, Ming An has not heard of those rumors outside, but he refuses to believe it, and even insists on sending this snow lotus in person despite his mother's dissuasion.

Who knew that it was really as rumored that Shen Yu had fallen in love with such a woman.

The appearance alone is indeed not bad, but it is not stunning, coupled with such a background, how can he be worthy of Shen Yu?

"Shen Xiang," Ming An tightened his sleeves, barely maintaining the smile on his face, and said, "I don't know, when did you have such a maid who didn't understand the rules in your house?" ”

"She hasn't seen much of the world, and she doesn't learn the rules well, which makes the county lord laugh." Shen Yu turned a deaf ear to Ming An's gaffe, and said with a smile, "I'll make amends for her, and the county lord will spare her this time." ”

Over the years, how could Shen Yu have been so gentle and careless to any woman? The more he said this, the more ugly Ming An's face became.

Rong Jin stood behind Shen Yu with a shyness on his face, cooperating with him to make a blank and weak appearance, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and even felt a little pity for this Ming'an county lord for a while.

It's not good to like someone, but you want to like Shen Yu, and now it's asking for trouble.

"Do you know what those people are talking about behind their backs?" Ming An stood up, brushed away the hand that the maid wanted to support and block, took two steps forward and looked at Shen Yu, and said without words, "Your reputation in the past few years, is it true that you want to fold in for such a cheap maid?" ”

As the "cheap maid" in her mouth, Rong Jin took half a step back, she knew that it was not her turn to intervene at this time, just waiting for Shen Yu was enough.

"The county lord said cautiously," Shen Yu really restrained his smile and said, "These rights and wrongs have nothing to do with the county lord, and there is a lot to worry about, but there is really no need to bother." ”

The maid of the Qin family looked at this tense atmosphere, for fear that Ming An would say something extraordinary, so she stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "County Lord, the hour is not early, we should also go back, Madame is still waiting at home." ”

Ming An bit his lip, looked at Shen Yu, and then at Rong Jin behind him, it was difficult to stay any longer, and said hatefully: "Shen Yu, you are confused!" ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left, and the maid hurriedly followed.

Rong Jin watched coldly, and always felt that when the county lord of Ming'an left, his eyes seemed to be red, and the beauty was wronged like this, looking quite pitiful and cute.

But looking at Shen Yu again, he still looked indifferent.

Also, he accepted himself in the Li Wangfu that night, and the eight achievements were for today, how could he be moved by this?

"What do you want to say?" Shen Yu glanced at her and asked suddenly.

Rong Jin originally thought that after cooperating with this play, he would be able to "retire after success", but in the end, he would be asked by Shen Yu by name, and after being stunned, he replied: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

But Shen Yu didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, and she didn't want to leave, and drank the medicine without hurrying.

Rong Jin was at a loss, knowing that he was not going to expose it easily, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The slave maid just suddenly realized and understood her usefulness." ”

The saint said that he wanted to marry Shen Yu, and the nobles of Manjing could choose whatever he liked, but in fact, he already had a desire in his heart.

But Shen Yu didn't want to marry the Qin family, so he couldn't refuse, so he would rather make this decision and use King Li's hand to push the boat down the river and completely dispel the Qin family's thoughts.

After understanding, Rong Jin couldn't help but think, is this really worth it?

If Shen Yu marries the Qin family, his position in the court and China will be more stable, but he would rather risk angering the saint and lose his reputation, just to ruin this family business.

Does he really hate the county lord of Ming'an like this?

Or is it that he actually has a heart, but in order not to implicate his real sweetheart, he will let her be the target.

After Shen Yu heard her answer, he laughed meaninglessly: "Then what do you think?" ”

Where is her turn to put her beak in this kind of thing? Rong Jin's heart turned back and forth, and he didn't dare to say more than half of his mouth, but said tamely: "It's the honor of the slave." ”

Shen Yu glanced at her more because of this, raised his hand, and let her go.

The days that followed were not much of a storm.

I don't know if Shen Yu was too busy with government affairs to pay attention to it, or if he had forgotten about making her imitate words, Rong Jin practiced diligently for more than a month, and he was already able to imitate the hairpin flower on the letter, but he never waited for the summons.

Perhaps because of the deceased lady, Granny Su's attitude towards her was getting better and better, and she was later allowed to wander around the courtyard without having to be trapped in the fine willow courtyard all the time.

It's just that the outer layer of the gate can't get out.

And for some reason, Shen Yu rarely came to the other courtyard again, and Rong Jin didn't have to worry about bumping into him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After the summer, it rained for several days, and the rain continued non-stop.

Rong Jin planned to embroider a pine crane purse for Granny Su as a birthday gift, but the sky was not good these days, and the day was always groggy. Coupled with bad luck, when she embroidered the crane eye, she actually pierced her hand, and blood droplets rolled down the fabric, which was particularly dazzling.

She held her fingers in her mouth, and then looked at the half-embroidered purse, and her heart was so distressed that her eyelids jumped.

Although it is said that it can be remedied, but this is a birthday gift to people, and it is always ominous to be stained with blood. Rong Jin looked at it for a while, but decided to abandon the embroidery and rush out again.

It was dusk, Rong Jin leaned against the window, re-selecting the wiring by the dim skylight, and was thinking about how to hurry up the work, but suddenly a long-lost voice called "Sister Yun".

Rong Jin combed the silk thread for a moment.

She hadn't seen Shang Lu for a long time, and when she heard his voice, it was even a little strange.

Seeing him standing in the rain like that, drenched all over his body, and the broken hair on his forehead was stuck to his face by the rain, Rong Jin didn't think much about it, and hurriedly greeted: "Why don't you hold an umbrella?" Come in and shelter from the rain......"

"Sister Yun," Shang Lu wiped the rain from his face casually, losing his usual smile, with a rare solemnity, "Childe is looking for you." ”

Rong Jin's eyelids jumped again, and he thought for no reason that it was an ominous omen to pierce his hand just now.

"Okay, I'll go." Rong Jin put down half of the silk thread, and handed the towel to Shang Lu by the way, "Go and let the kitchen boil some ginger soup, although you are in good health when you practice martial arts, it is inevitable that you will be uncomfortable if you catch a cold." ”

"I still have other things to do, I'll remember next time." Shang Lu's pale face showed a slight smile, and after a little hesitation, he quickly added, "Childe is in a bad mood today, if you have any orders, don't disobey them." ”

Rong Jin opened the oil-paper umbrella, raised his eyes and looked at the lotus leaves painted by himself on it, and responded.

Trapped here for several months, Rong Jin has seen the scenery in the courtyard more than many times, but only the bamboo forest where Shen Yu lives has never set foot in it. She walked all the way along the cobblestone path, her shoes, socks and skirt were wet with standing water, and the sticky feeling lingered, which was very uncomfortable.

Rong Jin put away the umbrella under the eaves, brushed away the rain stained on his sideburns, and suddenly remembered Shen Yu's leg injury.

She remembered that Dr. Xun once mentioned that Shen Yu's injury was most likely to recur in winter and rainy days, and once it started, it would be like a swarm of ants gnawing at it, which was more difficult than pain.

Could it be that he went back to the other hospital this time to recuperate?

But there was no smell of medicinal wine here, and after entering the door, Rong Jin even smelled a trace of blood, which made her think about the first time she met Shen Yu's assassination that night, and her eyelids jumped even more.

It was evening, but there were already several lights in the room.

The slightly beating candle flame was reflected on Shen Yu's bloodless face, obviously it was still that handsome and peerless face, and even had a vague smile, but Rong Jin still felt Shang Lu's reminder-

Shen Yu, his mood is indeed not very good.

Shen Yu played with a seal-shaped gadget in his hand, and said casually: "How did I do what I told you before?" ”

"The slave can imitate the previous letter. But if it is a word that has not been mentioned in the letter, I am afraid that it will not be able to do ten things. ”

"Write to me." Shen Yu sat there without moving, watching her lay out the paper and grind the ink.

Rong Jin read the letter many times, even if he hadn't touched it for more than a month, he still remembered the trivial content clearly, not only could he memorize it backwards, but he even remembered where there was a clerical error.

Being stared at by Shen Yu like this, she was a little panicked at first, but after she started writing, she was not nervous, and her writing became more and more smooth.

And Shen Yu didn't wait for her to finish writing the whole long letter silently, and after reading it for a while, he stopped.

"It's okay." Shen Yu commented concisely, and then instructed, "Go and pick it up, and copy the content on the paper with the handwriting you practiced." ”

Rong Jin followed the direction of his finger and saw a paper ball in the corner. It looked like Shen Yu had written something he wasn't satisfied with, so he crumpled it up and threw it away.

But now I regret it again.

Rong Jin was puzzled and picked up the crumpled paper ball, unfolded it, and saw that the handwriting on it was so messy that it didn't seem to come from Shen Yu's hand, but if you looked at the muscles and bones, it was indeed his handwriting.

After seeing the content clearly by the light, Rong Jin forgot the rules for a while and looked at Shen Yu in disbelief.

And Shen Yu leaned lazily on the circle chair, as if he had expected her reaction, and sneered.

"Slave maid ......" Rong Jin knelt on the ground, and his heart was upside down, not knowing whether to excuse himself for his offense or to shirk it.

From the beginning, when Shen Yu asked her to imitate the family letter, Rong Jin knew that Bacheng had a plan, but he never expected him to be like this......

Bold.

The crumpled piece of paper looked like another "family letter", written to her own sister in the voice of the unknown lady, which seemed to be a complaint, but it was revealed between the lines that the husband was suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

At the moment after reading it, Rong Jin reacted that Shen Yu wanted to use this forged letter to exclude dissidents.

But why did he do this?

Rong Jin had heard Mr. Storyteller in the teahouse joke about Shen Xiang's old things, although he knew that he must have exaggerated, but he also felt that he was a very difficult hero. Even after the night in King Li's mansion, she knew that this person was not as gentle and elegant as he seemed on the face, and she would be afraid, but she never thought that he would use such a ruthless method to frame others.

With his current position of power, what do you want, and why do you want it?

After being shocked, Rong Jin panicked again.

She knew Shen Yu's plan, and got a glimpse of his unknown side, what would happen if she didn't obey? But even if she obeys her conscience, will she be able to live in the future?

In fact, on that spring rainy night, she followed Shen Yu step by step, and when she was able to pass through the several layers of doors in the courtyard of the deep mansion of King Li's Mansion, she felt for a moment that she had escaped from hell.

Until now, on this summer night of thunderstorms, I know that this is not the case.
