Chapter Seventy-Seven: Carrying a Sedan Chair
A few days later, Murong Zhongyong invited the people of the Huyan family to come to the mansion as guests, and several people were invited to come and taste the game that General Murong had brought to the mountains.
General Murong naturally had high hopes for the people of the Huyan family, especially Ruiqi of the Huyan family. Since he and his father set out on the expedition, Murong Zhongyong has not been less worried, afraid that once Ruiqi makes any mistakes, their family's Xiuxiu will not be able to speak.
In fact, everyone sat together and didn't talk much about Riich. First, there was very little news from the front line, and secondly, as soon as Ruiqi and General Huyan were mentioned, a layer of frost condensed between Mrs. Huyan's eyebrows, and it seemed that Mrs. Huyan's heart was no less sorrowful than others, so everyone changed the topic interestingly.
In this way, everyone inevitably has to talk about Ruilin, and the most talked about is about Ruilin's future marriage. In fact, there are many people who know the inside story between the two families, but it is inevitable to have a chat to see how Ruilin will grasp such things.
Ruilin either smiled at such an inquiry, or replied in an understated tone: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and the marriage is in a hurry." ”
After they were full of wine and food, Murong Zhongyong asked Murong Xiu and Yuxi to accompany Ruilin and Mrs. Huyan to the garden for a walk.
So Murong Xiu accompanied Ruilin in the front, and Yuxi accompanied Mrs. Huyan in the back, and the four of them slowly dispersed in the huge garden of General Murong's house.
The four of them walked and walked to a gazebo, Mrs. Huyan wanted to stop and rest for a while, Yuxi smiled and said: "Sister Xiuxiu, Brother Ruilin, you go first, Mrs. Huyan is tired, I'll sit here with her!"
As soon as Yu Xi said this, Ruilin was overjoyed, he just wanted to go away with Murong Xiu, so as not to make Yu Xi stare at him and look inconvenient. So he agreed: "Then Sister Lao Yuxi has to worry about it, you sit with my mother for a while, and Sister Xiuxiu and I will come for a walk." ”
Murong Xiu and Ruilin walked to a fish pond, and the two sat on the stone bench by the pool, looking at the koi swimming around in the pool.
Ruilin had long wanted to talk to Murong Xiu, but it was inconvenient to speak just now.
So he asked Murong Xiu with a smile: "Sister Xiuxiu, I think we didn't know how happy we should be when we were children, just like these koi fish." ”
Murong Xiu smiled: "Do you remember when you played the game of carrying a sedan chair? At that time, you were only a little younger than Ruiqi. ”
Ruilin smiled: "You always pretend to be a bride, Ruiqi always acts as a groom, and everyone has a lot of fun." ”
Murong Xiu joked with Ruilin: "But, don't you always like to carry a sedan chair every time? ”
Ruilin smiled: "And you, you still had a red hijab at that time!"
Together, they reminisced about those days, when they were still young. Among the children of the two families and the children of the neighbors, they really played the game of carrying a sedan chair.
The children found a small bamboo chair and two bamboo poles from nowhere. A few strong children found some ropes and tied the two bamboo poles firmly to the small chair, and the two little boys could lift Murong Xiu who was sitting on the chair one after the other.
Of course, among these children, Murong Xiu is too addicted to brides, and Ruiqi is also recognized by everyone as the groom's official.
And Ruilin actually liked to be the role of carrying a sedan chair at that time, walking in front of the sedan chair in person and carrying the sedan chair for Murong Xiu.
Of course, the petite Murong Xiu is naturally not too heavy, otherwise Ruilin will not be able to bear it.
At this time, Murong Xiu suddenly picked up a branch and slapped the water surface of the fish pond, and asked Ruilin: "Ruilin, you were smaller than Ruiqi at that time, and of course your strength was smaller than him, but why would you rather carry a sedan chair?"
Ruilin was asked by Murong Xiu like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little unspeakably shy, in fact, Ruilin knew that every time he was the groom's official, it was always Ruiqi, and he always played with his brother, so he simply lifted the sedan chair, so that he could get closer to Murong Xiu, and at the same time, he was also worried that Murong Xiu would accidentally fall down, so it was better to let him carry it.
The child's idea is very simple, so as long as Ruilin has the opportunity to get close to Murong Xiu, he is willing to carry the sedan chair together.
So Ruilin looked at Murong Xiu: "If I said that I like to carry you, what would you think?"
Murong Xiu was stopped by Ruilin's words: "Ruilin, have you been hit on the head, why do you like to carry me so much?"
Murong Xiu couldn't help but be surprised by Ruilin again, he was still so young at that time, was he so thoughtful? It seems that Ruilin is really a little precocious!
Ruilin laughed and said, "If I don't carry you, wait for those wild boys to collude and throw you on the ground or in the fish pond, and it will be troublesome!"
Murong Xiu couldn't help but be surprised: "Ruilin, could it be that they would still be like this at that time! It can't be, they are so bad, do they really want to throw me into the fish pond?"
Ruilin said jokingly: "I just don't throw you into the water, if you fall to the ground unexpectedly, it will be enough for you, so every time I carry you in front, then they won't dare!"
Murong Xiu played a small drum in his heart, but he still kept praising Ruilin: "I can't imagine Ruilin, although you are young, you have been my flower messenger every time, and I am afraid that I will suffer a dumb loss." ”
Ruilin laughed, picked up a small stone and threw it into the fish pond, this small stone caused ripples, and the koi in the pond were so frightened that they ran all over the pond.
Although Ruilin's words were said today more than ten years later, Murong Xiu's heart still felt warm, and the ripples in her heart stirred up circle after circle.
Murong Xiu suddenly said faintly: "Ruilin, if Ruiqi is not the groom's official, will you replace him as the groom's official?"
Ruilin was stunned for a moment when Murong Xiu asked him this, and then Ruilin immediately came back to his senses, is Murong Xiu hinting at me? He mustered up the courage to reply: "Sister Xiuxiu, as long as you don't dislike me, I am also willing to be the groom's official." ”
After speaking, a flame ignited in Ruilin's heart, and she looked at Murong Xiu with blazing eyes, Murong Xiu's cheeks were flushed with Ruilin's eyes, and she shyly lowered her eyes and looked at the water surface of the fish pond.
Murong Xiu thought to herself, this Ruilin doesn't have any idea of male superiority and inferiority, he doesn't pretend to be high, and when he was tempted by me, Ruilin really showed his intentions.
Murong Xiu pondered, let me try him again: "Ruilin, if it is now, then would you like to be this groom official?"
After speaking, Murong Xiu looked at Ruilin with a pair of bright eyes, as if he was inquiring about Ruilin's true thoughts.
