Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 241 Apples, Oranges, and Grapes
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xiaolai's back, cleared his throat, and explained, "Fluttershy is the maid next to Miss Ruby, she comes here every morning to buy steamed buns, Miss Ruby she ...... Loved the buns the most......"
Luo Bei nodded secretly in his heart, the last time he saw him go straight to Tianxiang Tower, it seemed to be a little unreasonable, and he was blinded by people, how could anyone who wanted to see the world-famous Qin Fairy?
So, that time he was kicked out.
However, judging from today's events, this somewhat down-and-out swordsman is indeed extremely admiring the Qin Fairy, otherwise how could he even know what Ruan Hongyu likes to eat, that is to say, the seemingly inconspicuous person in front of him actually has a deep affection for Ruan Hongyu, but unfortunately, Ruan Hongyu probably doesn't even know.
Lai is cute and pitiful, so when she jumps up and down in front of Fluttershy, she can't help but bend down and stroke her head with a smile.
"Little sister, do you know me?" Fluttershy asks with a smile on her face.
Xiaolai nodded very seriously, and the child's voice was as clear as a bay of extremely clean spring water.
"You're Sister Fluttershy!"
Fluttershy blinked and looked at Xiaolai, a little confused, Ruan Hongyu is certainly very famous, but she is just a maid next to her, since when did she become famous, even the children in the streets and alleys know her.
"How do you know my name is Fluttershy?"
Xiao Lai tilted her head, blinking her dark and big eyes, her gaze was as pure as a clear spring, but she suddenly quieted down and stopped talking, but turned her head to look at the few people who were sitting in the bun shop.
"It's his father who knows your young lady!" said suddenly.
Fluttershy realizes that a young monk is standing there, staring at him for a long time.
"He's not right, we all know each other, and we all like your young lady very much!" Xiao Lai immediately added.
Fluttershy glanced at the bun shop, it was obvious that only Ye Zhiqiu's age would be the "father of the little girl" in Killing's mouth, and he still had an impression of this somewhat down-and-out swordsman, but the impression must not have been too good under the circumstances of that day, so her face changed slightly.
The little girl is extremely sensitive to the mood changes of those around her, and when she looks up at Fluttershy, her eyes that seem to be able to talk are impossible to turn away.
"Sister Fluttershy, I want to see ...... too" She opened her mouth and suddenly paused, not knowing whether to call Ruan Hongyu sister or something else, at this time she couldn't help but look at Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu, Yu Han and Luo Bei had already walked out, holding an oil-paper bag in his arms, which contained freshly wrapped meat buns.
"Fluttershy, we do want to see Ruby, but it's not what you think, it's that they really have something to ask for......" Ye Zhiqiu handed the oiled paper bag to Fluttershy.
"This is the kind of taste that girls like to eat, just wrapped!"
Fluttershy didn't pick up the things that Ye Zhiqiu handed her, but looked at the people in front of her.
In addition to Ye Zhiqiu and Xiaolai's father and daughter, Luo Beihe will naturally not forget it, he didn't expect that he and these people would be able to meet again, I don't know if this is a coincidence or what, whether there will be some unknown consequences behind her promise or not is waiting, in her limited understanding of this world, there are indeed not many good people and good people.
She has been abducted to Tianxianglou since she was a child, and she has been bullied, if Ruan Hongyu hadn't chosen her to be her personal maid among everyone, I'm afraid she wouldn't know where she was, what would it be like?
Therefore, for her, the safety and excitement of the young lady is everything to her, even more important than her life.
Her eyes
The light finally fell on Yu Han, because in her opinion, Yu Han was the only one among them who looked more elegant and stable.
"Miss Fluttershy, we do have something very important to ask to see Fairy Qin, and we want to introduce you, and Yu Han is grateful!" Yu Han said with a very humble attitude when he saw Fluttershy staring at him.
Fluttershy doesn't know why, but when Yu Han watches herself say this, her face turns red and her heartbeat accelerates.
......
Ye Zhiqiu was a little puzzled, wondering why Fluttershy suddenly agreed to take them to Ruan Hongyu, and when she first saw her, she had a look of displeasure.
Could it be that the sincerity of preparing the buns in advance impressed this little girl? But the probability of this should not be too great.
Either way, Fluttershy agrees that it's true, and as for why, I don't know, so what's the matter.
However, Fluttershy makes a crucial condition, that is, they can't go to meet Ruan Hongyu together, because not only will the goal be big, but Miss doesn't usually like situations where there are too many people and too much trouble.
Who would have thought that an Oiran who often stands in the middle of the crowd and receives the attention of countless people doesn't like to be lively, so how has she come over the years?
Ye Zhiqiu hugged Xiaolai, but there was a trace of desolation and pity in his eyes.
In the end, it was Yu Han and Xiaolai who went to see Ruan Hongyu with Xiaolai, Xiaolai was well-behaved and lovely, Xiaodie liked her very much, everyone thought that Ye Zhiqiu must want to meet Ruan Hongyu, but unexpectedly, he hesitated for a long time and planned to wait outside.
Ruan Hongyu's residence was not on the fourth-story Tianxiang Building, but in an inconspicuous side room in the backyard.
In addition to the four-story palatial guest building, Tianxiang Lou also has a courtyard, and the door between the two is rarely opened, and few people can enter that courtyard, and even not every girl in the building can get close to it.
It is hard to imagine that the radiant Qin Fairy Ruan Hongyu actually lived in such a small room, with no expensive jewelry, no magnificent scenery, and even people rarely came there.
Yu Han stood outside the small house, watching quietly, imagining how this place should be connected to the legendary Tianxianglou Oiran, he had never seen Ruan Hongyu, but how could a person with the name of "Qin Fairy" be an ordinary person?
There are not many furnishings outside the house, but a row of green bamboos is planted in a small space, the bamboo leaves are tender and green and natural, the growth is very good, and it is not messy, it should be taken care of and cut from time to time.
The green bamboo is covered with green vines, and many small purple flowers are still blooming.
It's a secluded place like a paradise.
The sound of the piano came through the latticework of the room, very slowly, like a stream flowing faintly, without waves rushing, without endless noise, but very slowly.
Judging by the sound, the person who played the harp must have been very lazy.
"Let's go, let's go inside, Miss, she's waiting in the house for a bun!" Fluttershy interrupts Yu Han's thoughts.
At this point, Lai quiets down and stops chattering and laughing with Fluttershy like he did along the way.
As soon as Fluttershy finishes speaking, the sound of the piano stops, and a sound comes from within, almost as languid as the one being played.
"Isn't it idle when you little girl goes out to buy something, and you actually bring outsiders here, it's really more and more unruly!"
Lai looks at Fluttershy with wide eyes, only to notice that instead of feeling any panic because of Miss's "reprimand", Fluttershy has a smile on her face and says in her ear, "Don't be afraid, she'll eat later."
If it's delicious, it won't be angry anymore!"
It seems that this pair of master and servant is really different.
Yu Han naturally didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only wait.
Fluttershy takes Come's hand, and Lotus moves to the door, where the gray wooden door is very dim, and there are two pieces of door god drawing paper posted on the door, but it looks like it has faded, apparently for a long time.
The door is pushed open, and Yu Han walks in after Fluttershy and Lai.
He found that although the inside was not large, it could almost be said that the path was winding, and he couldn't even name the tender green plants that were high and low, and some of them looked like trees, and some of them looked like ordinary weeds, and they were lined up in two rows after entering the door, like a path on a strange road.
At the end of the "trail" is another door, which is ajar.
Fluttershy reaches out and points to the door, which is clearly Ruan Hongyu's real boudoir.
Ruan Hongyu sat on a large soft chair made of white fur, in front of her was a guqin, and next to it was an incense burner, the incense burner was antique, and the faint light smoke slowly rose.
Next to the piano stand in front of Ruan Hongyu, there was a woman sitting upright, with a beautiful and fresh appearance, not very old, but her hair was scattered, her eyes were dull, and she was looking at her fingers in a daze.
Ruan Hongyu slowly turned her head and said to Fluttershy, "You are really getting more and more unruly, and you are guilty of bringing outsiders to disturb my piano early in the morning?"
Although she was angry, her appearance was not terrible, her pink jade face did not apply much powder, and her beautiful face did not fade at all, but added a natural charm.
When she saw the teenager standing behind Fluttershy, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in her eyes, probably because she had never welcomed men here, and no man had ever been here.
It wasn't until her eyes fell on Xiaolai that the disgust in her eyes eased and turned into a strange pity, a pity that even she didn't know what it looked like.
"Miss, they are really in a very difficult situation, otherwise I will ......" Xiao Lai pulled the placket of his clothes with one hand and bowed his head and said.
Ruan Hongyu saw that Fluttershy, who had always been in a hurry no matter what happened to her, showed such emotions, and she couldn't bear to say the reproach that just came to her lips, after all, the two of them had been dependent on each other for many years, and they had long been like sisters.
"That's it, who let me put up a girl like you, tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Yu Han had never seen such a woman, in his opinion, although the woman who had fallen into the dust was pitiful, it could never be Ruan Hongyu's appearance, her words and deeds, and even the lazy gaze in her eyes that did not disperse made people unable to associate with a place like Qinglou.
He can't help but look at him with a few looks, and Fluttershy gives him a few looks, but he doesn't see them at all.
At this embarrassing and silent time, Xiaolai suddenly laughed out loud, she crooked her fleshy pink face, and said: "I was worried about whether to call your sister or aunt just now, and now I finally know the answer!"
Ruan Hongyu looked at Xiaolai's cute appearance, the look in her eyes melted as gentle as spring water, and said with a smile: "Do you know what the answer is?"
Xiaolai pursed his lips and seemed to hesitate and said: "You are so beautiful, naturally you should be called sister, but ......"
At this time, she naturally thought of Lao Ye, so it was not appropriate to call Sister Ruan Hongyu, but now it seems more inappropriate to call others "mother", so she hesitated.
"But?" asked Ruan Hongyu softly.
Xiaolai regained his cute smile and said, "I want to discuss something with you......"
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Lai pointed to the two plates full of various fruits placed in front of Ruan Hongyu, and said with a smile: "Discuss an apple, orange, and grape!"
