Chapter 27

Shen Yu likes to be quiet, and the people who serve him around him, except for Shang Lu, who occasionally dare to say a few more words, others will never disturb unless necessary.

In the silence of the room, Rong Jin saluted quietly.

Shen Yu still didn't speak, but Shu Lan, who was standing at the table and waiting, frowned and made way for her.

Rong Jin reacted at this time, but he was still inexplicable.

Whoever does the same thing of serving and eating, it's just to look at the eyes and help the dishes from a distance come over. Shu Lan can be called a proper person, but he wants to summon her......

This is naturally not because the dishes she sandwiches can taste better, in the final analysis, I am afraid that Shen Yu is dissatisfied with her slackness.

After thinking about this, Rong Jin cheered up and observed his words and feelings, so as not to displease Shen Yu again.

Shen Yu didn't eat much in the end, put down his chopsticks, and should take a bath and change clothes.

This matter has always been served by Changfeng's attendants, Rong Jin never thought of being courteous about it, he went to the crown for Shen Yu and took off his court clothes, but when he wanted to leave, he was stopped by Shen Yu.

"You're out today?"

Rong Jin had to stop: "Yes." ”

She stood beside the screen and explained: "Before going out, I gave Granny Su a gift, and I was accompanied by Miss Cheng, and I came back at noon." ”

She consciously explained clearly, and it was not too late to come back, but she was still inexplicably a little weak under Shen Yu's gaze.

Shen Yu asked again: "What did you do?" ”

His bony fingers landed on the ties of his midcoat, and with a careless tug, they scattered.

Rong Jin seemed to be burned, and immediately buried his head and looked at the neat floor tiles: "It's all trivial......

Until he listened to the sound of the water and knew that Shen Yu had entered the bathtub, Rong Jin still didn't dare to look up, and only whispered: "I went to the West Market to hang out, bought some snacks for my little sister, and then I went to the silk village......

She clutched the purple official uniform, thinking that Shen Yuxing might be annoyed by every day, so she wanted to listen to such trivial things.

"I also bought a bag of pine nut candy," she suddenly remembered, and she mentioned it together, "the snack box and the pantry are all in place, you can always if you want." ”

When she was like a prisoner waiting for trial, explaining the day's affairs almost completely, Shen Yucai finally raised her noble hand and said "um" faintly.

Rong Jinru was pardoned, moved lightly outside the screen, and then went to look at the decoction.

She estimated the time, and it wasn't until Shen Yu finished bathing that she came back with the medicine.

Shen Yu sat at the table, covered with a layer of smoky gray light Luo Zen clothes, loosely tied in addition to the snow-white middle coat. The long hair was semi-damp and filled with vague moisture.

By the yellowed candlelight, it seems to be covered with a light veil, which looks a lot softer.

It wasn't early, but Shen Yu didn't mean to rest, and there were newly brought back newspapers, letters, and even a few bamboo paper books on the case.

In the past, Xun Shuo painstakingly persuaded him to meditate and cultivate, and there was indeed a reason.

Shen Yu already has a lot of things on his shoulders, and when he encounters such a major event as the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be even worse, and he may not be able to find leisure time to breathe all day long.

Rong Jin glanced at the dark night outside the window, but he didn't persuade him, but just put the medicine bowl in his hand and whispered

Reminder: "This medicine should be drunk while it is hot." ”

Shen Yu's eyes didn't even take his eyes off the newspaper spread out on the case, he took the bowl casually and drank it all, and didn't ask her for any more sugar.

The master is busy, and the slave and maid naturally have no reason to go back to rest by themselves.

Rong Jin sighed in his heart, waited not far away, added tea twice, and did not see Shen Yu close the fold until the child.

She listened to the faint sound of beating, and realized that Shen Yu had to get up and face again after less than two hours.

Ordinary people may not be able to survive it, and they don't know how Shen Yu dragged his sick body to survive.

Thinking about it, I can only say that his willpower is beyond the ordinary.

Early the next morning, Rong Jin waited as he did the day before, thinking that it would be good to send the big Buddha away.

Shen Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Rong Jin, who was half-kneeling in front of him, tying the ribbon for himself, and from her eyebrows, he sensed the joy of yesterday.

He curled his fingers, knuckles against the acupoints in the corners of his forehead, pressing heavily.

The originally drowsy brain cleared up a lot, remembering that she couldn't wait to go out yesterday, and understood why she was happy.

This is human nature, Shen Yu can understand it.

But when I thought that I was going to court early, and I was still busy today, dealing with all kinds of people, I suddenly felt that her appearance was a bit of an eyesore.

So when he was about to go out, he looked at Rong Jin and said with a smile: "You go out with me." ”

After the shock, the original joy disappeared.

Rong Jin seemed to have been pulled to the bone, and his shoulders and back collapsed slightly.

No matter how reluctant she was in her heart, she couldn't say no to Shen Yu, so she could only follow and climb into the carriage.

Tea was already prepared in the car, but Rong Jin was not energetic, his eyelids were heavy, and he lost his usual eyesight.

Even if she is a maid, there is no reason to turn so continuously, not to mention Shen Yu's status, it stands to reason that servants have their own division of labor, and there is never a reason why many things fall on one person.

Shen Yu saw Rong Jin's listless wilting appearance in his eyes, and knew in his heart that his move had passed, so he didn't care about her neglect, and poured a cup of ginseng tea by himself.

The sky was faintly white, and the carriage was wide and empty

On the long open street, there was no one around.

Shen Yu flipped through the folds, drank half a cup of tea slowly, and when he raised his eyes, Rong Jin had already fallen asleep against the wall of the car.

She was visibly tired, her brow furrowed slightly, and she didn't sleep well.

Looking closely through the candle flame, the lower lip was even a little chapped, like a wrinkled petal due to lack of water.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped outside the gate of the imperial city that the half-asleep Rong Jin's eyelashes trembled slightly, that Shen Yu realized that he was distracted, and then retracted his gaze, and the thin bamboo paper pressed under his fingers wrinkled slightly.

Rong Jin only felt that his mouth was dry, and he licked his lips subconsciously.

After reacting, he pinched himself, barely cheered up, and said in a low voice: "It's the slave who is slacking, please punish the son......"

Hearing that her always soft voice was already a little hoarse, Shen Yu said "It's okay" and motioned for her to pour the tea herself.

Rong Jin was sure that he was not mistaken, and he still couldn't hide his surprise.

She held the ginseng tea, took a sip, and saw that Shen Yu's mood was better for some reason, so she asked tentatively: "Imperial City...... You shouldn't be allowed to come and go at will, right? ”

The courtiers had to be searched when they entered the palace, and unless they had permission to do so, they would never be able to bring people in.

Even if it's Shen Yu, he won't be able to do it for a while.

Shen Yu knew what Rong Jin wanted to ask, but it was not good to say that he just couldn't see her happy, it was just nothing to toss people, and he coughed in a vague voice: "Take you, just in case." ”

Rong Jin nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, realizing that something was wrong-

Even if Yan Qingyi's estimation was wrong, and Shen Yu was attacking, it would not be possible to be outside......

Shen Yu watched her blushing and stopped, obviously not agreeing with this statement, but he couldn't argue about it, so he couldn't hold back his laughter.

The morning light was faint, and most of the courtiers outside the Danfeng Gate were already lined up.

He got up and got out of the car, held on to half of the door, and turned around and ordered: "Come with Chengying later." ”

Rong Jin was caught off guard, choked on the tea, coughed on his chest, and answered vaguely.

She could sense Shen Yu's mood now whether it was good or bad, but she couldn't guess the reason, it was inexplicable.

Rong Jin looked at Cheng Ying outside the car, thinking that he had been with Shen Yu for many years, and he should always know more about this master's thoughts, so he tried to ask.

Cheng Ying was still confused by Fang Cai's instructions, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "I can't guess the child's thoughts." ”

But no matter what the reason, even if Shen Yu gave it, they could only do it.

Rong Jin only felt that her sympathy last night was simply not as good as feeding the dog, she drank tea, as if she was bitter and happy, and secretly prayed that there would be more things to throw to Shen Yu today.

She can rest during the day to see who can survive whom.

After returning to the courtyard, Rong Jin first went back to the room to make up for sleep, and when he woke up, he took the paper and pen that originally copied the Buddhist scriptures, and traced the embroidery under the window for a long time.

Near evening, Cheng Ying really came to pick her up and went to the palace together.

The imperial city looks majestic and solemn at sunset, and the tall vermilion gates are staring at the golden nails that are nine vertical and horizontal, and the forbidden army on duty is routinely searching for people coming and going.

Rong Jin opened half of the window, lay on the window, and watched boredly.

She had already counted more than a dozen courtiers of all grades who came out and boarded their carriage to leave, but they still didn't see Shen Yu for a long time.

This morning's prayer may have come true, and it was not until sunset that the palace gate was about to be lowered that the purple court robe was finally seen.

There were also two Tsing Yi officials beside him, Rong Jin didn't know their grades, he looked at them curiously, and then he was stunned.

In the night, I can't really see it.

But at the beginning, she had a glimpse of the temple market, and after that, she described the outline of the figure in her heart many times, and she remembered it clearly and accurately.

Rong Jin pressed his heart, only to feel that his heartbeat seemed to be faster, and after a little hesitation, he pushed the car door and jumped down.

The temple market was stopped by Shen Yu that night, so he missed the opportunity.

But she had been thinking about it for so long, and now that she had another opportunity, she couldn't just watch it miss it again.

Maybe the other party has long forgotten the old things, and for him, there is no shortage of a long overdue thank you. But she has been thinking about it for many years, and she always feels that it is good to have a beginning and an end.

Cheng Ying didn't expect Rong Jin to get out of the car suddenly, and before she could ask, she took the lantern in her hand and looked at it with surprise.

Rong Jin carried a bamboo-blue octagonal lamp, his steps were brisk, the skirt was slightly lifted by the night breeze, and the goose-yellow dress looked particularly gentle in the night.

It's clearly just a back, but she seems to be able to feel her excitement.

She is always very quiet on weekdays, and even seems boring, and rarely has such a vivid time.

But then, she stopped.

Shen Yu was busy negotiating with the Sixth Department about the flood in Jiangnan during the day, and it was only at this time that he barely found some time to listen to the arrangements for the revision of the history of the Chongwen Pavilion.

He didn't ask in every detail, and after listening to it, he made a decision concisely and sent people away.

Then Rong Jin took a look, and at a glance, he could see that she was unusual.

Shen Yu had never seen Rong Jin look like this, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Rong Jin's gaze crossed Shen Yu and fell on the figure that was gradually moving away.

After all, it was too late.

She calmed her breath a little, clenched the bamboo lamp pole in her hand, and tried her best to smile naturally: "The slave maid will follow the instructions to pick up the son." ”！
