4 Chapter 4
When Lan'er's hand touched the rope of her fox fur, Rong Wen suddenly woke up, and subconsciously withdrew her body, her tone a little panicked: "No need." ”
Lan'er, who had already pulled the rope, paused, a little dazed, and said warmly: "There is wind here, if the fox fur fades, it will inevitably catch a cold." ”
Lan'er Shili stepped aside.
But the eyes stayed at this cousin for a while, the world often said 'fragrant sweat', and when she approached the cousin, she really realized what these two words meant.
Rong Wen only simply drew a plum branch, scattered plum blossoms scattered on the ground, and when she put the Zihao pen in her hand back on the pen holder, she noticed that the tea she and Gu Mu drank had turned into wine at this moment.
He's drinking.
Smell this smell, it's plum wine.
Rong Wen was addicted to alcohol, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva when she smelled the taste, but fortunately, her movement was small, and she was not seen by Gu Mu, who was admiring the moon while drinking, and Rong Wen couldn't stand the temptation of this wine fragrance. Yin, afraid that he would not be able to control it and beg him for a while, so he stood up and said, "The night is dark, I will go back first, and the second cousin will rest earlier." ”
Gu Mu looked at her when he heard this, put down the cup in his hand, and showed the noble spirit of the prince of the big family with every gesture, he got up, his expression was still gentle, and his voice was filled with a faint smile: "I'll send my cousin out of Merlin." ”
When he sat down in front of the bookcase, Rong Wen could see that he was tall, and suddenly got up, the clear moonlight was obscured by his wide figure, and the shadow fell in front of her, and in an instant she was small and short, like a little fox shrouded by a hunter.
Although Gu Mu's words are light, there is no doubt that he is born with a superior, you can only listen to it, although Rong Wen does not like this feeling, he still responds with his chin.
Ye Yi, who had been waiting not far away, stepped forward, and because Gu Mu was there, Ye Yihao followed behind her girl, thinking about how he met the second son here.
The night was silent, and from time to time a gust of wind blew the plum blossoms and fine snow, Rong Wen was a little restless, and looked sideways at the corner of Gu Mu's ink-colored robe.
In the mountains and forests outside Xuancheng, it was also a snowy day, and there was a vast area between heaven and earth, she thought she was going to be buried there, and she struggled in her heart for a long time, but the instinct to survive still made her raise her dirty hand and grab a corner of her clothes.
Obviously, the second cousin didn't remember that the dirty woman was her.
Rong Wen was a little caught in his thoughts, almost relying on instinct to walk, instinctively avoiding the plum branches that stretched outward, and inadvertently touched the snow falling between the branches.
Gu Mu noticed it and looked sideways at her.
Hearing only the sound of 'ah', a thick plum branch hooked the fox fur that Rong Wen was wearing on her body, because she was restless, the branch was strong, and directly hooked her fox fur.
……
Heaven and earth were silent for a moment.
The snow is cold and frozen, under the clear moonlight, the slender girl, only wearing a middle coat when she goes to bed, because of the heavy fox fur pressure crookedly, faintly revealing the corner of the small clothes, the skin is like snow, melting with the heaven and earth, the plum fell on her side of the neck, and was also dimmed by the girl's beauty.
Hanmei fragrant, and she, even more.
A gust of cold wind blew, Rong Wen's thin body trembled, recovered from the dazed, and bent over in a panic to pick up the fox fur that fell on the ground, Ye Yi behind her also reacted, and saw that the spring light in her middle coat was even more obvious when her girl bent over, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the girl, but a gust of wind before and after, as if nothing had happened, and it seemed that too many unspeakable things had happened.
Gu Mu paused in his steps, watching Rong Wen hurriedly walk out of Merlin by her maidservant.
In fact, Ye Yi tied the knot of her fox fur very tightly, and Shicai Lan'er had already untied the knot of her fox fur a little, but now it was hung by the plum branch again, and it fell.
Jing Si was stupidly stunned in the distance, until he heard the footsteps before he dared to turn around, and walked forward to see his son-in-law's expression indifferent, his deep eyes were too calm, knowing that his son was displeased, Jing Si knelt in front of Gu Mu with a 'poof': "Childe, Jing Si is guilty, I don't know that my cousin has such a mind, no one will come here at this time in the past, Jing Si, since my cousin is here, Childe is always not good at driving people away." ”
Jing Si knew that he had made a big mistake, some time ago, the niece of the eldest lady lived in the house, and came to make a chance encounter with his son-in-law every once in a while.
I thought that this cousin was dignified and polite, and she was deeply liked by the old lady, and she didn't seem to be a person who would do this, but she didn't think that she was so hooked in front of her son. Pull.
The cold wind blew the plum blossoms, flying wantonly, the petals melted together, and gathered into a 'lotus' in Gu Mu's eyes, there was only one petal, he stared for a moment, looked at Jing Si, and his voice was cold: "Don't take it as an example." ”
Jing Si breathed a sigh of relief.
——
Here, Rong Wen couldn't wait to fly back to Jingyin Courtyard, and his steps were windy, until he returned to Jingyin Courtyard, a small face was still crimson, and it burned to the root of his ears, and his neck was as white as snow and red as a winter plum.
Rong Wen took off his shoes and socks and climbed onto the couch, surrounded himself with a futon and was impermeable, recalling the scene of Shicai in her mind, in fact, she was confused in her head on the way back, this will think, and she can only be sure of one point, Shicai, he seems to be very close to her.
Ye Yi brought her a cup of hot tea for her to drink, but sighed: "We are in a hurry, and we haven't said a word to the second son, so it's rude after all." ”
Temperature: ......
After a cup of tea, she also relieved herself and thought for a while: "It's a small faux pas, I just hope not to be misunderstood." When she spoke, Ye Yi realized that the first time the girl saw the second son, it was Merlin who ran away by herself, and she was so out of shape that she would inevitably be misunderstood.
Ye Yi was anxious: "Girl, tomorrow's slave will go to explain to the second son early in the morning, the girl in the province is misunderstood." ”
Rong Wen handed the cup out, and the little hand that was warm by the hot tea was raised and rubbed his little face: "No." I'm afraid that this kind of thing will make people more and more concerned the more it is explained, and those who are clear will be self-purifying, and there is no need to explain. She said it calmly, but she made Ye Yi anxious.
Ye Yi said bitterly on the side, Rong Wen's thoughts returned to that snowy night, she was cold, wet, and dirty, although she kept cheering herself up, she was still afraid.
She tugged at the corner of the garment, but instead of saving her, the man pulled the garment from her hand with great indifference, and turned away without a trace of sympathy or pity.
He didn't even remember her.
Tonight, when she saw Gu Mu's well-defined face, she thought of him, and after suppressing the fluctuations in her heart, she could also sit in front of him and paint calmly.
She was not blocked by the heavy snow on the way from Yangzhou to Beijing, but a woman who did not leave the cabinet suffered on the road, and it would damage her reputation to say it, so she told a little lie to the old lady.
Fortunately, Gu Mu didn't remember her at all.
Rong Wen listened to Ye Yi speak for a while, and suddenly stretched out two small hands from the futon and pulled Ye Yi's wrists, looking pitiful: "Ye Yi, give me some wine to drink, I smelled the aroma of wine, it's really unbearable." ”
Ye Yi shook his head firmly: "Girl, it's time to rest, drink it another day." ”
Rong Wen shook his head, pulled Ye Yi's wrist to prevent her from leaving, and said coquettishly: "Good Ye Yi, just drink it and taste it, okay?" ”
Such a lovely girl looked at her with a pair of translucent eyes, even if Ye Tong was a woman, she had no resistance, and finally brought her wine to drink.
——
Although the incense was burned at night, Rong Wen was still in a dream, and he woke up early without any energy, and went to the old lady to say goodbye.
Near noon, only Rong Wen and the old lady gossiped there in the Jing'an Hall, and the grandmother Chang Shi beside the old lady was the old lady's wedding maid, and she followed the old lady for decades, and was the most trusted person of the old lady.
She watched the grandfather and grandson laugh on the side, and there was a smile on her face, in recent years, the old lady's body is no longer as tough as before, since the cousin girl came to the Hou Mansion, the old lady's appetite has improved.
Over the years, the letters sent to Yangzhou one after another, all kinds of rare things are also sent in boxes, the cousin has never let go of her mouth and said that she wants to come to Beijing, and now people are coming, but they have not told the old lady what happened in Yangzhou.
Early this morning, it was also strange, the eldest lady and the second lady came to inquire with her, and asked the old lady how she planned, and everyone could see that the old lady called her cousin to Beijing to play, because she wanted to tell her about good family affairs, to leave people in Beijing, and to see each other often in the future.
Rong Wen left after having lunch in Jing'an Hall, and Mama Chang helped the old lady to walk around in the courtyard to eat, and said casually: "The eldest lady and the second lady both asked the old slave the same thing this morning, and they are very worried about the cousin." ”
The old lady laughed: "You can't hide things in the Hou Mansion, Wen'er went to Meilin last night, and this early in the morning, one by one, I can't hold it back." ”
Mama Chang followed the old lady's wishes: "The old slave looks at the good life of the cousin, and is dignified and polite, if you say that this is the best man in the capital, he is the second son." ”
The old lady didn't know her attitude, so she couldn't stop laughing.
——
Shuanglin Temple.
The eldest lady Lin Ting sat in front of the charcoal basin, her eyebrows were dyed with sadness, and from time to time she glanced at her husband Heng Yuanhou, who only cared about turning the scrolls, and said angrily: "Either I am busy with official business, or I sit there and flip through the book, and I don't care about the child's affairs at all." ”
Although Heng Yuanhou is a military general, he treats people with the elegance of a literati and elegant person, he glanced at his wife, and said softly: "Shu Yao is a woman, and you are in charge of most of her affairs, how can I worry about it." ”
Lin Ting sighed lightly: "You know, I'm talking about Guannan. ”
Heng Yuanhou smiled: "How can you and I manage his affairs." ”
Lin Ting also knew in his heart that her son was a great man, and His Majesty would have to give him three points of thin face, if she had done his job, she would have forced him to marry a wife.
Lin Ting was bored in his heart, remembered the events of the year, and said cruel words to Heng Yuanhou: "You have to take care of this matter, Guannan can marry anyone, it can't be Wen'er." ”
Heng Yuanhou put down the scroll in his hand, walked to his wife and sat down, his eyebrows were full of smiles: "It's just that I talked about it in Merlin for a while, how can I already get to the point of marrying someone?" You think too much in your heart, Wen'er is his cousin, and you can't even speak? ”
Lin Ting: "It's different. When Yan Er was in the Hou Mansion before, although Guan Nan would say a few polite words, he would not paint with Yan Er and appreciate the plums. ”
Heng Yuanhou couldn't understand Mrs.'s thoughts, he didn't see any difference, when Yan Er was in the Hou Mansion before, Guan Nan treated his cousin equally: "Madame Mo Duo worry, Wen Er went to Merlin, he can't drive people away, and there is his mother's attitude towards Wen Er, he always has to be kind to Wen Er." ”
Heng Yuanhou also let go out in order to comfort his wife: "Besides, they are all men, Wen'er is indeed more beautiful than Yan'er, it is normal for people to take a few more glances and say a few words, so don't worry about it." ”
Lin Ting paused, and felt that what Fujun said was reasonable.
She sighed lightly: "Back then, the Rong family was also a famous family in Shangjing, but unfortunately, after returning to Yangzhou's hometown, the family became more and more ruined. ”
"However, this child's temperament is not good, and the pride in her bones is too strong, when her mother is gone, she puts herself in the house, does not eat or drink, and then pours it into her mouth, she also vomits out, and her mother is right, it is a little donkey."
Speaking of these, Heng Yuanhou frowned deeply and did not speak.
Lin Ting thought about it for a while, still worried, the old lady's temperament was not comparable to ordinary people, and she was able to force her daughter for this child, but now she is not surprised to do anything.
Heng Yuan waited to see that his wife's stretched eyebrows furrowed again, and hurriedly interrupted her thoughts: "What Mrs. should worry about is that Guannan has not married a wife for two years, not who he marries." ”
At the mention of this, Lin Ting became even more angry.
Two years ago, Gu Mu came back from Shou'an Temple outside the city and told her very seriously that Master Hongyuan gave him divination and could not marry a wife within three years, otherwise there would be a big disaster.
For this matter, she didn't even dare to urge in the past two years.
Lin Ting was no longer worried about who his son would marry, but now he began to worry about whether his son would escape into the empty door.
