Unconsciously, two days later, King Huajun was only slightly injured, and his body was fine, and he went to court as usual after a day of rest. Because the court and the central government newly elected officials of the scholar clan to enter Beijing, there was a festive and prosperous atmosphere in the capital, and the palace was also busy, and there were guests who came and went all day long, and the banquets were held one after another. The minions outside the second gate were more busy than before, feeding the horses, carrying the sedan chair, and transporting the fish, meat, fruits and vegetables into the dining room.

The royal palace turned the whole house inside and out, but could not find the person who entered the study that day to steal, but fortunately, although the study was destroyed, but did not lose valuables. King Huajun was busy entertaining, so the matter was put aside, and the slaves and maids in the courtyard were not allowed to make noise everywhere, so as not to fall into the mouths of outsiders.

The big courtyard where Zi Ning lived was quiet and peaceful in the morning, and the drizzle had stopped for two days, and the matter of the thieves in the inner house had been covered up, and the people outside the second gate did not know about it. Zi Ning lay on the couch half on her side, looking through the window lattice, looking at the pink and white apricot blossoms that were blooming in abundance outside. She somehow returned to her house that day, and if it weren't for the white satin man's undershirt, she would have thought it was an illusory dream.

The white satin clothes were carefully folded by her, flat under the pillow, and there was still his smell on it, Zi Ning's nose approached the clothes, sniffed deeply, and couldn't help blushing, and her heart throbbed.

She never saw his face clearly, nor did she know his name and identity, but her heart was tied to him from then on, and there was a strange intimate bond, and she secretly thought: "Although you don't want me to know who you are, one day, I will find you, and you must wait for me." ”

As soon as the door "creaked", someone gently pushed the door in, walking lightly, and it was a delicate-looking maid. Zi Ning looked at it fixedly, trying to find some memories in her mind, it turned out that this was the little maid who was doing chores in the dining room, her name was Green Ring, she was good friends with her on weekdays, and she was a person who could be trusted.

Seeing Zi Ning lying on the couch, Lu Huan walked quickly to her bedside, smiled on his face, and said, "Ning'er, you have slept for so long, you can be regarded as waking up, you are really worried about me." Seeing that Zi Ning's lips were chapped, he immediately went to pour half a cup of tea and drank it with her.

After taking a big sip of dry tea, Zi Ning also grinned at her and said, "Green Ring, thank you." The smile was a heartfelt gesture of gratitude. Traveling to a strange world, for the first time, I felt that it was so rare to have friends. "Don't worry, I'm in good health, this little injury and pain is nothing, I can heal in a few days, I'm just worried about my mother's ......" Seeing Lu Huan's puzzled eyes, Zi Ning immediately changed her words, "It's my aunt, she is old, but she still has to suffer such a crime." ”

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, after only two days, the tone of my voice had completely changed, and there was not much difference from the accent of the Great Jin Kingdom. It's just that one or two sentences of disobedience and abruptness occasionally pop up, and I smile bitterly secretly, probably the memories are not perfectly integrated when I travel, and the languages of the two time and space cannot be completely reconciled.

Luhuan looked at her with a pair of sparkling eyes, sat down on the edge of the couch, took her hand, and comforted her with a smile: "Ning'er doesn't have to be sad, the eldest princess even invited the imperial doctor in the palace to come over, and prescribed some golden medicine, which is a tribute elixir." The doctor also said that it was out of the way, and that it didn't hurt her muscles and bones, and Lin Niang would wake up soon. ”

Zi Ning nodded and said, "When A-Niang and I are all well, I will go to greet the eldest princess and thank her for saving her life." At this, his face turned red again, and he thought of another benefactor.

Luhuan frowned and looked at her, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Ning'er, there is something I want to ask you, I came to look for you that day on a rainy day, but you were not in the room, and there was no one everywhere. I was in a hurry, and I didn't dare to let the grandmother in the dining room know, so I had to wait for a day, and when you came back in the evening, it was actually sent by a masked man, and I was not allowed to make a noise to let others know, and I was sweating, and you were wearing a man's underwear. ”

Looking at Zi Ning suspiciously, seeing that her face was flushed, she lowered her head and said silently, and Lu Huan hurriedly said: "Ning'er, what's going on? I have treated you as my own sister all these years, and even I refuse to say it?"

Zi Ning shook her head, raised her eyes to look at her, and said, "Okay Green Ring, it's not that I don't believe you, it's because I don't know who he is." But he was my savior, and he saved me that day. "When I think of all the tribulations and tribulations on rainy days, my face is hot, and my heart is pounding.

Knowing this, Green Ring couldn't help frowning, "If you don't know who he is, why are you with him?"

Zi Ning let out a long sigh, thinking that this matter was too complicated, and if she said it without leaking, I was afraid that Green Ring would have to worry about it again. She only said that she accidentally strayed into the inner house, and then she got lost, and it rained heavily all day, she was injured, trapped in the rockery and couldn't come back, and was finally rescued by her benefactor. She took the green ring's hand and said with a smile: "I came back like this, unscathed, you don't have to worry." ”

Lu Huan poked her forehead with his finger, and said with a slight annoyance: "Ning'er, you are always so bold, and you also come and go in the inner mansion at will? If you are bumped into by the grandmothers, you have to hit the board and peel off a layer of skin. ”

Zi Ning naughtily stuck out her tongue, took out the set of white satin underwear from under the pillow, and saw that there was a fan wrapped in the clothes, and asked curiously: "Where did this folding fan come from, it looks like something used by men." Reaching out to take it and seeing, he was hidden behind him by Zi Ning, blushing and saying, "Don't look at the green ring, this is ...... This is my savior's fan. ”

Thinking that there was no need to hide this from the green ring, so he told the benefactor that day that the fan saved her life, and the more the green ring listened, the more strange he became, and he couldn't help asking: "You mean, the owner of this fan, and the benefactor who saved you on a rainy day, are the same person?"

Zi Ning nodded vigorously, her eyes were full of endless tenderness, "It's a pity, I don't know who he is, and I haven't seen his appearance clearly......" His expression was a little lonely, and he thought: "He doesn't want to tell his true identity, he must have a last resort, he only hates my identity as a little chef, and he has no ability to help him." ”

Green Ring raised his head and thought about it for a while, then smiled: "It's easy to inquire about him." On the day of the feast, Mama Yan was drowned by the prince, and many people in the house knew about it, so they went to ask the mama in the dining room, maybe they knew. ”

Zi Ning hurriedly stopped her, shook her head and said, "Don't go, Mama Yan's death is a taboo in the palace, and the prince must not allow anyone to mention it, if you go to inquire about this matter, you will definitely cause trouble." "I remembered that day I hid in the clothes box in the county lord's room, heard a few people discuss, and knew that the slaves and maids in the house did not like her, and they had a lot of resentment because of Yan's death.

Zi Ning is an extremely smart woman, and the palace is eventful at the moment, and her affair with Yan Mama has already been vigorous, and everyone knows about it. Then the study of King Huajun was burglarized, and people were panicked, although no one came to look for her trouble in the past two days, but she had better settle down and not cause any more trouble.

On the way to escape that day, Aunt Xu saw Zi Ning's face, but she didn't denounce her. Zi Ning thought secretly: "Probably because Aunt Xu couldn't bear it, so she helped her hide it." If you inquire about the identity of your benefactor at this time, you will inevitably attract attention, and I am afraid that you will accidentally involve Aunt Xu and the eldest princess. ”

Green Ring didn't have many ideas, and when he saw her say this, he nodded and said, "You are right, we are rough little girls, we should be more peaceful, so that we can live a stable life." As he spoke, he took the fan in front of him, unfolded it flat, and looked carefully, and saw that on the fan was a delicate picture of distant mountains in autumn colors, with a faint ink color and a gentle dot dye.

Zi Ning tried her best to calm her mood and wanted to break free from her messy thoughts, but her face was a little red, and an indescribable feeling sprouted from the bottom of her heart.

Lu Huan looked at her blushing appearance and joked: "I can see that Ning'er wants to know who the benefactor is, and she will have to make a promise in the future." ”

Zi Ning couldn't help but snort, pouted and said, "Okay, you green ring, make fun of me with such words." "But I was happy in my heart, and I didn't have a heart-warming feeling.

Luhuan pursed his lips and chuckled: "I'm joking with you, we are low-class slaves and maids, and the marriage is only arranged by the master, whether it is good or bad, it is just up to the destiny of heaven." Seeing Zi Ning bowing her head and being silent, her expression was a little complicated, and she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Ning'er, if you can find a benefactor, try your best to repay the favor." Don't talk about what you promise, we can't choose. ”

Zi Ning raised her eyes, her expression was shy and smiling, and she said, "I only have one thought in my heart, just don't let people know." Immediately he also laughed "poof", Luhuan stretched out a finger to scratch her face, and said with a smile: "Ning'er is not ashamed to say such a thing!"

Zi Ning had a smile on her face, but her heart was infinitely melancholy, giving birth to a sadness of loss. Even if she inquired about the identity of her benefactor, she was a rough maid of the palace, and if she wanted to repay her kindness, she was powerless. said that he promised to be ashamed of himself, and he was even more ridiculed. So he took a long breath and said, "Don't take me seriously when I say this, it's all casual talk." Since my benefactor came to the palace for a banquet, he must be the son of the Gaomen clan, and he unintentionally rescued me, maybe it was just his gesture, how could he expect a little maid to repay the favor?"

A faint reluctance flashed in Luhuan's eyes, and he comforted her: "Don't worry too much, maybe that son has a good heart, and there is one." You should put your mind at ease first, and after these few days, when the grandmothers are more relaxed, I will secretly go out to help you inquire and not let people know. He looked at Zi Ning for a long time, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Ning'er, I want to ask you, isn't it, do you really like that son?"

Zi Ning's heart was pounding, and she thought, "I can't tell you clearly, I've never seen his face clearly, how can I have such a heart-warming feeling." But he saved me three or four times, how can I not be emotional?" Deng Shi blushed again, couldn't help shaking his head, and defended: "What if you like it or not, I'm afraid I'll never see him again." Even if you have any thoughts, they are just wishful thinking. Looking out the window, the sun shining on his face, as if he saw a moth fighting a fire, leaving a bleak stream of fly ash behind for a long time.

Seeing her sadness, Luhuan couldn't help but feel relieved: "That's it, you just think that this life was saved by a benefactor, and there must be a way to repay it." As for any other thoughts, don't worry about them, and don't worry about them like this. ”

Holding the handle of the fan in his hand tightly, Zi Ning nodded silently, thinking in his heart: "I have traveled thousands of years, and I can neither embroider needles nor flutes with one hand. The woman of the Great Jin Kingdom, I'm afraid that I am the only one who is as useless. The only thing he can count on is cooking, and I hope that one day, I can devote my life to what he has learned. ”

When I looked up and saw Luhuan looking at her in a daze, her eyes were full of concern, and she couldn't help but be moved, and said: "Good sister, I have grown so big, except for A-Niang, only you treat me best, I don't know how to thank you." ”

Green Ring's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and said, "We have always been good sisters, and if you say such things, you will be separated from me." Actually, the people in our big dining room are good to you, but you are sometimes naughty, and the grandmothers punish you severely. Turning around, he pointed to the pile of ginseng and bird's nest paste on the table at the corner, and said: "The eldest princess sent someone to bring these and ordered the big dining room to stew them. ”————
