2 Chapter 2
Jing Si's words fell, and there was no response.
After a cup of tea, a hurried voice sounded by the door: "Childe, Yun Zhu has something to see." ”
Gu Jiafang's son-in-law, a single name and a Mu, the word Guannan, the last word of the Zihao pen in his hand fell, and his voice was clear: "Come in." ”
Yun Zhu brought a body of wind and snow, although the snow on his body had been shaken off outside the house, but his eyebrows were still covered with water droplets after entering the study, and the cold air was scattered all over his body, and he held a thick booklet in front of Gu Mu's book case with both hands: "Childe, my subordinates have been investigating for a few days, and I only found this on the way back to Shudi." ”
It was a thick booklet, almost the same as the green jade cup on the bookcase, it looked a little wet at a glance, it should have been dusted off the frost and snow and was stuffed into his arms by the cloud candle, Gu Mu raised his hand to take it, and the slender knuckles opened a page.
He frowned slightly.
After just glancing at it for a moment, he put the thick booklet in the corner of the bookcase: "Go down, let the dark guard continue to investigate." ”
"Yes."
Jing Si was looking at it from the side, how could Childe just glance at it and put it down, what was written in this thick booklet?
It seems to have a spice smell commonly used in the girl's house.
——
Jing Si followed Yun Zhu to the courtyard with his front and back feet, raised his hand and patted Yun Zhu on his right shoulder: "It's freezing outside, you haven't been here for a few days, I left you wine." ”
Yun Zhu gave birth to a 'dead face', and there was very little change in his expression on weekdays, he glanced at Jing Si, and then looked at the bright candle flame in the window of the study, the man with a long figure was sitting in front of the bookcase to deal with official business, Yun Zhu said coldly: "The son is still busy." ”
Jing Si smiled at him: "Don't worry." ”
The two ran to the back room, one to eat wine, the other to eat meat.
Yun Zhu poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, frowned and asked Jing Si: "Why do you love meat so much, like a flower child who has been hungry on the street for more than ten days." ”
Jing Si chewed the roast mutton that was still steaming in his mouth, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, licked the meat stained on the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "If it goes well, our son will escape into the empty door next year, and he will be vegetarian at that time. ”
Yun Zhu glanced at him.
"Childe escaped into the empty door, and he didn't have to let you follow."
Jing Si: "Wherever the son goes, I will go." ”
Yun Zhu drank by himself, and the room was too quiet, and said: "Our son was born handsome, and he was born with the face of all beings. ”
Yun Zhu poured a big sip of wine: "But the son also has a cold and affectionate heart." ”
Jing Si retorted to Yun Zhu while eating meat: "Are you saying that the son is different from the outside?" That's not a good word. ”
Yun Candle's rare eyebrows softened for a moment: "It's always good to use it on Childe." ”
Jing Sihe smirked, completely contrary to the polite appearance that Shicai Ye saw when he saw it, and muttered: "I just hope that some beautiful girl can steal Childe's heart, so that I can eat meat all the time." ”
——
Early the next morning, the snow that had fallen overnight finally stopped, and after Rong Wen got up, Ye Yi was still chanting in her ear while combing her hair: "The girl always makes sense, I drank the apricot blossom wine last night, and now the girl goes out after she recovers from her illness, and even if the slave girl wraps the girl into a zongzi, the girl will follow." ”
Rong Wen looked at Ye Yi sideways, a little helpless: "Ye Yi, don't mention yesterday's events today, how can you still remember the 'overnight feud'." She was still talking about Ye Yi at this time.
Ye Yi didn't let go this time, and asked her seriously: "The pot of apricot blossom wine last night, the girl still doesn't admit that there is not a drop left after drinking?" "As soon as Ye came back from the empty courtyard last night, he smelled the smell of wine, and he had been arguing with her girl for a long time, and her girl's mouth was as hard as a rock, and she didn't recognize it.
Rong Wen's white hand pulled Ye Yi's sleeve, and raised his little face to coquettish her: "Okay, wait a while, you can wrap me into a dumpling, I'll be obedient." ”
Rong Wen has only listened to one and a half people over the years, one is her father, half is Ye Yi, Ye Yi is the person next to her mother, since her mother left, Ye Yi has taken good care of her, she is here in Ye Yi, and she is quite obedient.
Ye Yi mercilessly wrapped Rong Wenzhen into a zongzi, only the little face was exposed outside, and the skin was fair like glutinous rice coming out of the zongzi leaves, which was exceptionally white and fragrant.
She was holding the soup woman in her hand, and as soon as she walked out of the door of the Jingyin Temple, she heard a voice like a clear bell calling her not far away.
Rong Wen turned around and smiled lightly.
Gu Shuyao was dressed in a lotus-colored cotton suit, with an embroidered plum cloak on her body, and her steps wanted to be faster but had to slow down because the ground was wet, Rong Wen looked at her and said softly: "Don't hurry, slow down." ”
Gu Shuyao's delicate appearance, in the snowy white, like a smart elf, said in a gentle voice: "Knowing that my cousin also went to my grandmother to say goodbye today, I took a detour and went with my cousin." ”
The two little girls held Tang Pozi in one hand and each other's arms in the other, and walked towards the Jing'an Hall where the old lady of the Hou Mansion lived, chatting for a while, Gu Shuyao suddenly remembered something, and was quite regretful: "It's a pity, I went to ask my grandmother for peace early this morning, most of the men in the family are not there, and I want to introduce it to my cousin." ”
Gu Shuyao said to herself: "Approaching the end of the year, they are all very busy, especially my brother, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
Gu Shuyao and Gu Mu were both from Hengyuan waiting for Gu Xu and the eldest lady, Gu Shuyao used to be the most sticky to her brother, but in the past few years, His Majesty gave his brother a mansion, although his brother got his grandmother's order and often went back to the Hou Mansion to live, but he still couldn't see him all day, so he wasn't so sticky.
After Gu Shuyao finished speaking, she said to herself: "I heard my father say that they will rest in three days, and the mansion will be lively at that time." ”
——
The Jingyin Courtyard where Rong Wen lived was not far from the old lady's Jing'an Hall, and the two arrived after chatting for a while, and there was no one else in the Jing'an Hall at this time except Mrs. Hengyuan Hou.
The old lady is nearly sixty years old, pure heart to worship the Buddha, the Hou Mansion every day to come to Jing'an Hall to ask for peace is only a few people, she once spoke, aunts and grandchildren do not have to come.
Rong Wen and Gu Shuyao had just stepped into the hall with their front feet, and the second lady Yun and daughter Gu Shuman also arrived, and Hengyuan Hou's wife Lin served beside the old lady, jokingly 'scolding' Gu Shuyao: "Look, your cousin knows that you are coming with your uncle, you child, like a monkey, will be invisible in a blink of an eye." After scolding, she was about to praise, and the eldest lady smiled again: "I know that my cousin is also here to ask for peace today, and I am still willing to accompany my cousin." ”
Gu Shuyao shrugged the tip of her nose at her mother.
The eldest lady Lin is from the Qingliu family, as the head mother of a house, she has an outstanding temperament, dignified and noble, and a dark purple brocade dress is more temperamental, Rong Wen first greeted the old lady, and then said hello to the eldest aunt and second aunt.
This is the third time she has come to the Hou Mansion to see them, the first time she saw them, she was dizzy after a long journey, and the second time she was lying on the couch, and now she is officially greeting.
The old lady stretched out her hand to Rong Wen and asked her to sit beside her, Rong Wen has the word 'Wen' in her name, but her temperament is not very well-behaved, and for some reason, when she sees the old lady, she will feel very kind, and she sits obediently next to the old lady like a cat.
The old lady raised her hand to pull the broken hair in her ear behind her ear, Rong Wen smiled at her with a small face, looking at her grandmother's ear and sideburns, maybe it was the precipitation of the years, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, often with a smiling face, but when Rong Wen saw her for the first time, he saw it.
The people of the Hou Mansion were afraid of her.
After the second lady sat down, she said to the old lady in a soft voice: "In recent days, it has been cold, Zhao'er's child has been infected with wind cold, and Ah Hao is afraid that the wind and cold will pass to his mother, so he will not come to his mother to say goodbye." ”
Ah Hao is the daughter-in-law of the second room, Gu Li, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, has married a few years earlier, and now has a male baby with his wife, who will be four years old after the New Year, and is the only great-grandson of the Hou Mansion today.
If calculated by age, the long house Heng Yuan Hou is a few years older than the second room, when Heng Yuan waited for the town to guard the border and delayed marrying a wife, it is because Gu Mu, who is the son of the long house, is the second in the Hou Mansion.
When the old lady heard this, her face was full of worry: "Good life to take care of it, that child is the most skinny, don't always roll in the snowdrift." "The old lady knows, Zhao'er has asked his subordinates to roll him snowballs in the snow these days, how dare the subordinates, but they can't bear the little boy's trouble, and they have to roll themselves into a big fat snowman, but they don't think about it, they are still sick.
After chatting for a while, the eldest lady smiled and said to the old lady: "Mother, a few days ago, Wen Er was sick in the house to make winter clothes, and her daughter-in-law was afraid of disturbing her rest, so she only asked for a size, and she didn't know if it fit," Saying, she looked at Rong Wen distressedly: "I see that Wen Er is thin again, and now she is sick, but she has to make up for it." ”
The old lady smiled, first looked at Rong Wen, and then said to the eldest daughter-in-law in a gentle tone: "If it doesn't fit, let the people in the garment shop run again." ”
The eldest lady said: "Cheng, it is estimated that Ming'er can send it." ”
Since Rong Wen came to the Hou Mansion, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old lady is closer to her than her own granddaughter, the eldest lady's words please the old lady, the second lady seems to remember something, and also chatted as if saying: "Fortunately, the heavy snow on Wen'er Road delayed the trip, I heard the husband say that there was an accident in Xuancheng some time ago, and the daughter-in-law calculated, if according to the itinerary from Yangzhou to Shangjing, it happened to be rushed to a place with Wen'er." The second lady sighed in fear: "Fortunately, I avoided it." ”
The old lady bowed her head and was extremely pious: "God bless, Wen'er is a blessed child." ”
The second lady was originally casually talking, but Rong Wen's face was pale on the old lady's side, and the soup woman in her hand was holding her to death, but fortunately, Gu Shuyao answered the phone, so no one saw her abnormality: "I also heard about this matter, it was my brother who went to deal with this matter, even if my cousin touched it, it would be fine, my brother is here." ”
The old lady was thoughtful, and after a while, she said to the eldest lady: "Guannan has a few days in the future, presumably it is approaching the end of the year, and His Majesty needs him." ”
The eldest lady wanted to say a few words for her son, but the old lady said everything by herself, and she only bowed her head and responded: "There are still a few days, the civil and military officials will take a break, let Guannan accompany his mother well." ”
The eldest lady and the second lady went back after staying in Jing'an Hall for a while, Gu Shuman also made an appointment with the little sister to go shopping, and left early, Rong Wen and Gu Shuyao accompanied the old lady to chat.
I chatted for nearly two hours, and only after lunch in Jing'an Hall did I go back to Jingyin Courtyard.
Entering the house, Hua Yi took the soup woman in her hand, Ye Yi untied the fox fur cloak on her body and faded away, Rong Wen only felt that her body was light, and sat in front of the charcoal basin, first used the flower tea to relieve her greasy, and ate at the old lady's place, she was fed too much, and she was a little tired.
Ye Yi hung his clothes on the pear sandalwood shelf, and then pulled out the fiery silver silk carbon with copper tweezers, and asked tentatively: "Girl, we have been in Shangjing for so long, master-" Ye Yi's eyes were bright, and he looked at his girl's reaction well.
Rong Wen picked up the cup and took another sip of tea, his expression was obviously sad, and the room was silent for a long time because of Ye Yi's words, Ye Yi was also worried, the girl escaped from the marriage and refused to send a letter to the master, at this time, the master may not be in a hurry.
She sighed softly in her heart, thinking that the girl was still angry with the master, and was about to get up to do the work, when she heard her girl's low voice: "The letter is on the bookcase, send it out." When Ye Yi heard this, he was surprised and delighted, it turned out that the girl had already written it.
Rong Wen's father is still alive, working as a magistrate in Yangzhou, where she has lived since she was a child, and it is her home, but she is approaching the end of the year, and she went all the way to Shangjing to join the Hou Mansion.
She never told her grandmother that she had actually escaped from marriage.
