Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 219 Between Master and Servant
Ruan Hongyu sat by the window, one hand on the guqin, but did not play, only slightly plucked.
She has seen what happened just now, and there are not a few people who want to break into Tianxianglou to see her like a man over the years, but no one has succeeded, and she has long been used to such things.
However, this man is different from others, because no one has a child of three or four years old with him when he comes to express his love.
Later, when the man left, she could feel that it must not have been because a few strong men had scared him away, because he had not looked at these people from beginning to end.
So what is it?
As she ponders, Fluttershy doesn't know when she's already standing behind her, and when Ruan Hongyu turns around, she sees Fluttershy's unhappy face.
She laughs and asks, "What's wrong with our Fluttershy, who is trying to provoke you?"
Fluttershy is asked, and her mouth purses even higher.
"If someone comes to provoke me, I won't pay attention to them, but they say that I just don't want to ...... you, Miss."
Ruan Hongyu reached out and took Fluttershy's hand, and said with a smile, "You don't have to care about anything behind someone's back, how can there be no right and wrong in such a place, let them say it if they want to!"
Fluttershy still didn't let go, shaking Ruan Hongyu's hand, and said angrily, "My good young lady is just as generous as you, but this time it's different, what they say is so ugly!"
Ruan Hongyu still maintained that lazy smile and said, "What are they talking about me, tell me about it, you can't see the edges?"
Fluttershy blinks and says, "They...... They said the man who was downstairs with the kids and wanted to see you...... That man is your best friend and ......"
Ruan Hongyu's eyes lit up, and she asked with some curiosity, "And what?"
"And they also said that the little girl was born out of wether with the man!"
Ruan Hongyu didn't get angry when she heard this, but smiled and said: "It turns out that they said so, to be honest, I wish I had given birth to a child of that age, so I wouldn't have to live my life so boring!"
Fluttershy's eyes widened and she looked at Miss in surprise, she hadn't spoken for a long time, and although she had known that the eldest lady had occasional strange words, she never expected her to say such a thing.
Ruan Hongyu saw the little maid's face full of surprise, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "What are you thinking, although I said so and thought so, but I was sold to Tianxiang Building before I was ten years old, and I stayed for more than ten years, where is there such an opportunity to go out and have a child?"
Fluttershy realizes that Miss is joking with her.
A master and a servant have never been as serious as others, although nominally Fluttershy is Ruan Hongyu's maid, but Ruan Hongyu has never only regarded her as a maid, except when she is in front of people, the two of them are more like a pair of sisters, so Ruan Hongyu's temperament is diluted and does not earn with others, but this little maid is very powerful, and she will repay her, plus Ruan Hongyu has been red for many years, and she is deeply favored by Aunt Hong, so no one really dares to mess with the two of them.
Fluttershy always argues with people, and Ruan Hongyu always advises her, saying that the women in this green building are all poor people, most of them rely on young and beautiful faces, but a woman's youth can last a few years, no
It's only been a few years, and there are only a few people like Ruan Hongyu who can monopolize the Oiran for more than ten years.
Since everyone is sympathetic to each other, why bother to repay each other.
Ruan Hongyu and Fluttershy talk as they look downstairs, until the man has walked away with the child in his arms, and she realizes Luo Bei and Kill, who have been waiting by the bridge.
Ruan Hongyu pointed downstairs and said, "Do you see that the young man and the little monk who slept on the street when we came back this morning?"
Fluttershy looked at it, glanced at Ruan Hongyu and said, "Isn't that the two of them, who are they, you also took off your cloak and put it on the little monk, fortunately you didn't suffer from the wind and cold on the way, otherwise I'll see how you explain to Aunt Hong!"
"What to explain, it's not that I'm afraid that once I get sick, I won't earn more money for her!" Ruan Hongyu looked outside and said lightly.
There's really nothing Fluttershy can do with her, and others may not know much about her, but she spends her days smiling and her personality diluted, as if she doesn't care about anything.
But in reality, Fluttershy knows that Ruan Hongyu will always be lonely in her heart, and over the years, it seems that a shackle has gradually formed on her heart, completely sealing her inner world.
So, she, a seabird that should have been flying in the sky and the sea, has been longing for the blue world, but the shackles in her heart can't be broken, and she can't go out, because although the world is big and the sea is boundless, she can't find the color that belongs to her.
Ruan Hongyu's eyes kept looking outside, looking at the young man and the little monk, as if she was looking at two people from a completely different world from herself.
"Miss, do you want me to go down and get that cloak back, I don't know how many people in Lin'an City recognize it, don't make any jokes then!" Fluttershy said, looking down as well.
Ruan Hongyu nodded calmly and said, "Well, it's okay for you to go down......
"Bring ten taels of silver with you......"
Fluttershy is a little stunned, but she soon realizes that looking at Luo Bei and Kill's clothes, she knows that they are already extremely shy in their pockets, and maybe they are asking for some money under the pretext of returning their cloaks.
"I just did a good deed, and now I have to give money, maybe people don't think so well!" Fluttershy can't hide it, so she has to say it.
Ruan Hongyu glared at her, deliberately straightened her face and said, "You little girl has only eaten for a few years in total, how can you think so dirty that everyone in the world thinks? Go quickly, if you dare to talk back again, I will use the 'rules'!"
Hearing Ruan Hongyu's "rules", Fluttershy subconsciously tightens her neck, knowing that Miss is just scaring herself, she sticks out her tongue and quickly runs out.
Ruan Hongyu shook her head and smiled bitterly, still looking at the young man and the little monk downstairs, when she returned in the morning, although she didn't say a word to Luo Bei, she could see that the young man's eyes had a look that did not match his peers, it was difficult to tell what it was, it was inferiority, or could it be hurt by love? Anyway, it was a little different.
Over the years, in a place like Tianxianglou, she has seen too many people, and the color in everyone's eyes is different, just like the same guqin, and the sound played by each person is also different.
She saw Fluttershy take back the cloak, then drop the ten taels of silver in Luo Bei's hand and run back, the little girl wondered if she had said something unpleasant.
Truth be told, in a long way
In the past, she had already regarded Fluttershy as her sister, so even though she had a fiery temperament and had to contradict herself from time to time, her heart was not malicious, and most of them were defending Ruan Hongyu, so she never cared.
......
Killer hands Fluttershy the folded cloak, then takes the ten taels of silver, holding it in her hand all the time, and tears welling up in her eyes.
These ten taels of silver don't seem to be a lot, Luo Bei and Kill Sheng have always had any concept of silver money, but at this time it is different, because they are indeed as shy as others see, and they are extremely shy.
The two of them held ten taels of silver, facing the dazzling sunlight above their heads, as if they were clothed in the glow, and their hearts were extremely warm.
Kill carefully put away the silver, then tilted his head and looked at Luo Bei with a smile, needless to say, Luo Bei knew what he was thinking.
"Let's find a good restaurant to eat, but we still can't be too extravagant, after all, these ten taels of silver are not easy to come by, and it is unknown how long it will take!"
The focus of Luo Bei's words was obviously the second half of the sentence, but Kill immediately burst out laughing, and walked forward with a stagger, obviously only hearing the first half of the sentence, and automatically ignoring the second half of the sentence.
Finding a place to eat should be easy, but when you have a lot of money, it makes all the difference.
Therefore, the two of them walked at least two streets, from the bustling place to the secluded place, and then walked out again, Lin'an is prosperous, and the place to eat is naturally indispensable, there are tall gatehouses, wine flags fluttering, and there are street stalls, and the fireworks are thick.
When he smelled the smell of alcohol on Lin'an Street, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and he almost walked in a few times, but fortunately Luobei pulled him down, but as soon as he arrived in Lin'an, he made people look at him with strange eyes, with a wine and meat monk, and he was also a small wine and meat monk.
Eventually, they found a restaurant, which was not very large, but it was very clean, and there were many people coming and going, and they could smell the aroma wafting from it when they stood at the door.
"Guests from all over the world", all the guests from all over the world, all of them are relatives, and they feel very interesting when they look at the name.
Luo Bei and Kill sat in a corner, the table was wiped clean and tidy, and there was no trace of oil or stains, Luo Bei liked the cleanliness here, which was rare in a small restaurant after all.
The proprietress is a fair-skinned and slightly chubby woman, who has been standing at the counter at the entrance, making calculations from time to time, whenever someone comes in, she will look carefully, but there is no kind of look in her eyes that she knows that she dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and some are just "envious" and "appreciative" of young people.
The shopkeeper didn't seem to care about this, but Luo Bei could see that the couple actually respected their wives, because the shopkeeper always had to glance at his wife's expression and face inadvertently, as if he was afraid that he would be "punished" for doing something wrong.
Luo Bei felt that this was different from many places, because the husbands and wives he usually saw were valued by their husbands, after all, in that era, they still had to pay attention to the three outlines and five constants, three obedience and four virtues, etc., even if it was as affectionate as his parents, Bai Xiaoru, who had a big idea, always had to listen to Luo Zhongqian.
However, things in the world are always a little unexpected, which Luo Bei can be regarded as deeply aware of, because he himself has experienced too many things that cannot be understood with ordinary thinking.
