In the early morning, with the first ray of sunlight shining into the earth, Gardenia opened her hazy sleepy eyes and lay flat on the bed. There had been no one around her for several days. She looked at the tent ceiling with some melancholy, missing his smell.
Come.
Master's clothes were finished and put away yesterday. Thinking of Ling Jiyun's words, Gardenia raised the corners of her lips lightly and lifted the quilt.
The weather in early winter is already very cold. Although there is some warmth from the sun, it can't keep up with the chill lingering in the fog.
At noon, Gardenia tidied up briefly and prepared to go to Yuanji Silk Shop to pick out a piece of material for Ling Jiyun.
"Master, where are you going?" Leyin asked uneasily as she saw Gardenia about to go out.
Gardenia was grateful for her concern, looked back and said with a smile: "I have something to go out for."
"Master, why don't you let General Feng follow you? I'm really worried." Leyin was still worried that if anything happened to Gardenia, she was destined to be buried with her.
Gardenia smiled: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. General Feng has to lead troops to maintain law and order in the city. It's already hard work. I'm just going out for a while. Nothing will happen. Just wait here for me to come back."
."
Unable to defeat her, Leyin could only watch her step out of Yaxu Garden with concern.
When passing by the airy flower wall, I met Lian Ruoyi and her maid Xuexiang and greeted her. Since I came back, I haven't spoken to her much because I don't know what to say.
"Where are you going, Miss Gardenia?" Lian Ruoyi smiled and looked at her as if she was about to go out.
Gardenia just twitched the corners of her lips slightly because she couldn't see clearly the mysterious smile on Lian Ruoyi's face, "I'm going out to buy something, so I'll take my leave first."
She didn't keep her, so why did she keep her? She wanted to go out on her own. She hadn't figured out what kind of excuses she could use to make her leave. Looking at her leaving back, she said coldly to herself: "Hua
Gardenia, goodbye, I don’t believe that God will always take care of you?”
A few remaining leaves drifted away with the wind, taking away news of an impending misfortune and telling those still outside the city to come back quickly.
On the way to Yuanji Silk Shop, Gardenia's right eyelid twitched, she stopped and rubbed it gently, thinking: Could it be that she didn't get a good rest last night?
At this time, she probably didn't know that the moment she walked out of the city lord's palace, she was being watched.
Stepping into Yuanji Silk Shop, Brother Hai, who was busy at the side, saw Gardenia. He immediately handed over the work to another person and came up to him, "Madam, you are here!" Hai Ge welcomed her from the bottom of his heart.
As he thought about that time in Ruiyang Mountain, if it weren't for Gardenia, he would have gone to hell to reunite with his parents, and he almost knelt down with gratitude.
Gardenia smiled, this was the fourth time she had contact with Brother Hai, each time she treated his sprain in Ruiyang Mountain, the second time was to buy materials for Ling Jiyun to make robes and belts, and the third time was
Wearing a gauze cape, she bought material for clothes for her master. This time she also bought materials for Ling Jiyun to make clothes. "Brother Hai, please bring that piece of material to me." Gardenia pointed to a piece of mercury silver.
The light water pattern fabric said.
Brother Hai immediately took off the piece of material respectfully and said, "Madam, your taste is really getting better and better."
Gardenia just smiled and said nothing. She examined it carefully and found that the texture was delicate and soft. It was a good piece of cloth left over. She said, "Please help me wrap it up."
"Okay, I'll wrap it up right away, please wait a moment." Brother Hai said and wrapped it up carefully himself, his gratitude often melted into the action.
"How much silver?"
After wrapping it up and handing it to Gardenia, Brother Hai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Madam, you are really embarrassing this villain. You saved this villain's life. The last two times you tried to give it anyway, I accepted it."
, this time the little one won’t accept anything.”
Gardenia knew his intentions and was grateful that there were such pure servants in the border town. She didn't embarrass him and said, "Okay, it's just this one time, it won't happen next time."
Brother Hai kept nodding his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it won't happen next time. Please walk slowly."
Gardenia turned around and left. The man who had just taken over Brother Hai's job walked up to him, looked at the distant background, and asked: "Brother Hai, who is she? Are you so polite to her?"
Brother Hai just smiled and said, "He's a good man. Go do your work quickly and don't guess." He didn't forget to tell her after a while: "Si'er, if you meet her to buy cloth from her in the future, the price will be half price. Do you understand?"
Although Si'er didn't understand the reason, it could be seen that Brother Hai respected him so much, so he nodded and said: "I know, Brother Hai."
After coming out of Yuanji Silk Shop, holding the cloth in her hand, she was thinking about how to make a big set of clothes for Ling Jiyun. She imagined how he would look in the clothes, and Gardenia couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
The bustling street market is bustling with people. I don’t know when my peaceful heart has been integrated into this kind of life.
A little girl approached her, raised her childish face and tugged at the hem of Gardenia's skirt. Gardenia stopped and looked at the dirty little girl. She couldn't help but feel sympathy and bent down: "Little sister,
What’s wrong with you?"
The little girl didn't speak, but pointed to the entrance of an alley, frowning slightly, "Tell me what happened?"
The little girl still didn't speak, and he pulled her straight towards the entrance of the alley. There were fewer and fewer people there, until only the occasional loud voice could be heard.
There was no one around, so the little girl let go of her hand and suddenly ran back in the direction she came from.
An unknown sense of foreboding arose spontaneously, and just as he was about to leave, he felt a cold wind blowing behind him, and his eyes immediately began to blur. He suddenly felt that he was being held up by someone, and he tried hard to focus his eyes, but all he could see was
A blurry shadow, what on earth is going on?
Gardenia went out at noon and did not return until the sun went down. Leyin was restless in Yaxu Garden. Since the prince was not here, who should she tell? By the way, tell General Feng.
As she hurriedly walked out, she bumped into Lu Xinlan at the corner of the corridor. Her girl Ruyu shouted angrily: "What's the matter with you? You don't have eyes when you walk. Are you going to die if you bump into your master?"
Leyin raised her head and saw that it was Lu Xinlan. She was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit her mistake: "Concubine, please forgive me, this slave deserves to die."
Looking at Yueyin who looked panicked, Lu Xinlan didn't mean to let her get up, but said: "Are you running rampant and rushing to be reincarnated?"
Leyin still said: "This slave deserves to die."
"What happened? Is sister Xinlan so angry?" Lian Ruoyi led Xuexiang over and asked with a smile.
Lu Xinlan said: "This girl Leyin dares to bump into me."
Leyin shed anxious tears, looked at Lian Ruoyi and said: "It's not like this, it's not like this?"
"What's going on?" Lian Ruoyi knew what was going on, but still pretended to ask.
