"So that's what happened." After asking Yushan to point out the repaired area and looking at it carefully, Guarjia praised: "Hui Gui's hands are so skillful. There is no trace of repair at all. This time the money
Mo Duo really has to thank Mr. Hui Gui." After that, she said: "Okay, you can send it there quickly. It's dark and the road is slippery today, so be careful."
"Thank you for your reminder." Yushan thanked her and excused herself, then quickly sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while the Gualjia family went all the way to Wanfang and Anxing.
When they got there, Guarjia unexpectedly saw that Tong Jia was also there. Among the beautiful girls in the second year of Yongzheng's reign, Tong Jia was the best, with outstanding appearance and generous manners. She was named a noblewoman as soon as she entered the palace. At that time
To be honored as a noble person,
Apart from her, there is only one Wen Ruqing. Wen Ruqing will be named a noble person, partly because she is Wen Ruyan's sister, so strictly speaking, Tong Jia is the one who takes the title because of her talents and appearance.
A noble person.
However, unlike Mrs. Liu and others, she did not speak often. Most of the time, she would sit quietly in her seat with a smile on her face, silent, but she had her own brilliance. However, Yinzhen could not say he treated her well, nor could he say that he was good.
Not good, not like Wen Ruqing in the past.
Unlike today's Liu family, who has unlimited glory, she is more introverted, and has never shown any dissatisfaction due to favor, let alone any act of competing for favor. Although she lives among the red walls, she is quite different.
, and also makes it difficult to understand her as a person.
Seeing Guarjia come in, Tongjia, who was talking to Ling Ruo, stood up and saluted. Her voice was as clear and sweet as a lark, "I send my regards to my concubine, may you be blessed."
"No need to be polite, Mr. Tong." After signaling Tong Jia to stand up, Mr. Guarjia also saluted Ling Ruo, but before she could bend her knees, Ling Ruo had already supported her and said with a smile: "Just now, I called you Tong.
Noble man, you don't want to be too polite, but you are constrained by etiquette, please take a seat quickly."
"Concubine Xie Xi." Because Tong Jia was there, Guarjia was not as casual as usual. After thanking her, she leaned down and sat down.
Ling Ruo glanced at the sky outside and said in surprise: "Sister, why are you here at this time? It's already dark. Have you ever had a meal?"
Guarjia took the tea offered by the palace servant and said with a smile: "It's just because I remembered the taste of the food here that I eagerly came here. Are you reluctant to part with it?"
"Look what sister said, how can I be such a stingy person? Besides, it is more lively when there are more than one person eating." With that said, Ling Ruo said to Yang Hai who was standing by the door: "Go and order the small kitchen to pass the food. In addition,
Add two more pairs
Bowls and chopsticks, Concubine Jin and noble Tong are all staying here to eat." Although they are not in Chengqian Palace at the moment, Wan Fang and An also set up a small kitchen under Yinzhen's instructions so that Ling Ruo can taste what he wants at any time.
thing.
Ling Ruo's words made Tong Jia a little surprised. She stood up and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still won't have dinner here. When I came out just now, someone was already preparing dinner. If I don't go back, those meals will be lost."
It would be a pity to waste it.”
Ling Ruo was also a little surprised at her rejection, but she quickly recovered her smile and said, "In that case, I will not force you to do so. I will discuss chess with Noble Tong another day."
After Tong Jia went out, Guarjia turned the tea cup in her hand and said, "When did you become so familiar with Tong Jia? I have never heard of you mentioning it before. Is it possible that you still have something to hide from me?"
"I don't dare to hide it from my sister." Ling Ruo said jokingly, and then said: "Actually, I just said a few words to her today. When I was wandering in the garden today, I happened to see
When I saw her sitting in the pavilion in a daze, I felt strange, so I went over to take a look. It turned out that there was a Zhenlong chess game in the pavilion, and Tong Jia was thinking hard about this chess game.
I meditated and thought about how to solve the problem. I saw that she seemed to be very interested in playing chess, so I chatted with her for a few words. I found that she was very knowledgeable about chess, so I played a few games with her. Her chess skills were very similar to...Sister Wen's.
Similar." After talking about it, Ling Ruo's voice was a little astringent, obviously thinking of Wen Ruyan. Her death was a wound in his heart that would never heal.
"So you sent her here?" Guarjia knew Ling Ruo's mood and turned the topic back to Tong Jia to prevent Ling Ruo from being sad because of missing her.
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "In the past, I always felt that Tong Jia was pretending to be noble as a means to attract the emperor. But after getting in touch with her, I realized that she really has a bit of arrogance in her bones. As long as she uses it a little bit,
She can get more love by using these methods, but she doesn't bother to use them and would rather live the life she has now. Seriously speaking, I am not as good as her."
Guarjia was silent for a while and then said: "Time is the most changing thing. The way Tong Jia is now does not mean that she will still be like this in the future; don't forget that when you and I first accompanied the emperor, they were not what they are now.
"
Ling Ruo didn't know this, and said with emotion: "I know, but I don't want her to change. In this way, I can still play chess and chat with her." There was another sentence that Ling Ruo didn't say. She just chatted with Tong Jia.
During the chess game, several times she thought it was Sister Wen sitting opposite her.
"I hope." Guarjia didn't have much hope for this. People's hearts are fickle, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Rather than expecting too much, it's better not to expect anything at all. "Speaking of Mr. Tong, I am
Thinking of another person with the same surname as her."
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and guessed the person she was talking about, "Sister, did you mean Tong Jiali Luo?"
Guarjia said with a sigh: "Yes, we both have the surname Tong Jia, but their temperaments are very different. If Tong Jialiluo hadn't harmed you like that, maybe you would be completely different from what you are now."
This time, Ling Ruo took a long time to answer, "Everything is destined. There is no second way before me."
While they were talking, Yang Hai had already led the palace servants to bring the meals. The beautiful colorful glass bowls contained delicacies with alluring aromas.
"Let's go over and sit down." Ling Ruo stood up and took Guarjia to the table. Shui Xiu each scooped a bowl of wild king mushroom soup and placed it in front of them.
Guarjia took a sip and praised: "Although the soup is light, it is delicious and has a unique flavor. It is much better than those greasy soups. It is indeed the most appetizing one you eat here."
"Look what sister said, if you like it, you can eat here every day from now on, no problem, but I'm afraid you're a bit picky. After a few days, you'll think my place is too bland and you won't be able to swallow it!"
Guarjia glanced at her, pretending to be displeased and said: "I didn't even dislike it, but you made the mistake first. You really let me say anything."
Ling Ruo couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I won't say anything. Sister, there are some vegetables that I can't carry. Let Shuixiu and the others carry them so that they can eat enough."
