After that night, although Yinzhen still didn't call Ling Ruo, he was not as indifferent as before. When he had free time, he would often come to Ling Ruo's residence to sit down, say a few words to her or drink a cup of tea.
Go, occasionally talk about North Korea
Whenever something happened, Ling Ruo would listen quietly at the side, and a trace of warmth flowed in the calmness, subtle and precious. Yinzhen was slowly healing the bloody wounds just as Ling Ruo had hoped.
From Mo Yu's mouth, Ling Ruo learned that the most favored person in Baylor's house now was Nian Fujin, who had just entered the house a few years ago. It could be said that he was loved by thousands of people, and every time he was rewarded, she was the most generous one.
Yinzhen stayed at Chaoyun Pavilion
He also had the most days. Because he was weak and had to raise a young son, his first wife had little energy to take care of the affairs of the house, so all matters were left to Nian Fujin, while Li Fujin took care of them. For a time, no one could compare with him.
Does Yinzhen really love Nian? When Ling Ruo stood by the Jianjia Pond, the answer became extremely clear. What Nian got was only favor, far from love. Yinzhen’s heart belongs to Meier, other women can
All I got was the word "pet", including her...
A life of pampering and no love is just a bubble, which will burst with just a prick. If you give your heart in the process, the only thing waiting for her will be broken into pieces.
So Ling Ruo swore in her heart that she would never...never give her heart to Yinzhen!
However, can things really be controlled by her?
The first month of the first lunar month passed away unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the second day of February in the 44th year of Kangxi, the day when the dragon raised its head. On this day, every household set up a case to burn incense and worship the dragon king, in order to pray for good weather and good harvests this year.
Men also shave their dragon heads in the hope that the dragon's head will bring good luck.
As usual, no sewing was allowed on this day, so Ling Ruo had to put aside the half-embroidered sachet. Seeing that the spring was bright and the weather was excellent, she and Mo Yu took the damp books outside to dry them.
Get rid of the moisture and avoid mold in the future.
Ling Ruozheng bent down and carefully smoothed out each book before spreading it on the shelf. Suddenly, his eyesight dimmed, and a shadow blocked the sunlight. When he looked up, it was Yinzhen.
"When did Fourth Master come?" Ling Ruo handed the book to Mo Yu and stood up and asked. After getting along for a long time, the relationship between the two became more casual and no longer as reserved as it was at the beginning.
"Just arrived." Wearing a suit of azure embroidered treasure pattern, he glanced at the books spread out on the shelves and found that most of them were books on classics and history. He said with a little surprise: "You like to read
These books?”
"It's not that I like it, it's just that these are the only books I have around me." The fact that she was given the title of Princess was finally found out by her family. A few days ago, people from Amato brought these books and a letter.
Zhongwei didn't say much, just telling her to take care of herself and not worry about her family, but she could guess that Amma and E Niang must be heartbroken by this.
"There are many books in my study. If you like, you can go and read them." After saying this, Yinzhen himself was stunned for a moment. The study is almost a forbidden area in the mansion. Except for his personal servants Gou'er and Gao Fu, there are no other books in the study.
No one is allowed to come or go at will, including Fujin.
"Is it really okay?" Ling Ruo had already memorized these books by heart, and now he was immediately overjoyed when he heard these words, with undisguised longing in his eyes.
Such joy made Yinzhen, who was somewhat regretful, unable to refuse. He nodded and said: "Of course it is true. When I get back, I will inform Gao Fu that you can come and go as you please, but you are not allowed to touch anything else except those books."
, especially official documents.”
"I obey." Ling Ruo agreed quickly. It was a great trust that Yinzhen allowed her to enter and leave the study. How could she not know the importance of it?
Yinzhen nodded and took out something and handed it to Ling Ruo, "I have asked someone to repair the ring finger, but unfortunately the crack is still there after all." The emerald green jade ring finger was covered with a layer of gold, which was extremely warm in the sun, and there seemed to be water in the emerald green.
It's flowing, the only flaw is those few thin lines
There were cracks in the hair, but this did not prevent Ling Ruo from liking it. She took it carefully and put it on her thumb first. The loose look made her laugh even when she saw it. She took off the thin red gold chain around her neck and tied it up.
After it was done and he was about to hang it up, Yinzhen took it and said, "I'll hang it up for you."
Ling Ruo's pretty face blushed, and she turned her back and let Yinzhen hang it for her. When her hand accidentally touched the small piece of skin that was as crystal clear as snow, the self-possessed person like Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a little shaken. This has never happened before.
He felt Ling Ruo's body trembled a bit, and then he moved his hand with some difficulty, "Okay."
Ling Ruo responded in a low voice, not daring to raise her head, lest he see her flushed face in embarrassment. She couldn't help twisting the handkerchief with her fingers until it was almost torn before she managed to say a word, "Fourth Master"
Are you hungry?"
Yinzhen changed into casual clothes and came directly here. He had not eaten at all. Before he got up, he didn't feel that he was really hungry when she mentioned it. "Is there anything you can eat here?"
Ling Ruoxiao smiled and said to Mo Yu: "Go to the kitchen and make a bowl of noodles for Mr. Beile."
Since last time, Yinzhen resolutely dealt with the kitchen gang and reprimanded Gao Fu, the house and the red-topped and white-haired wind have somewhat restrained themselves. In addition, Yinzhen has been coming frequently these days, and Ling Ruoda has a tendency to become a new rich. Some people
They even speculated that she might become the second concubine in the Lan Yue family after the Ye family. Under such circumstances, those people did not dare to despise Ling Ruo anymore, but instead thought of ways to please her. It would not be difficult to get a bowl of noodles.
"Is there just a bowl of noodles? Fortunately, I specially sent you the repaired jade finger, but it's not worth the gain." Yinzhen was in a rare mood and joked.
Ling Ruo stroked the jade ring under her neck and smiled and said: "Fourth Master has really wronged me this time. Today is the second day of February, the day when the dragon raises its head. In the folk, everything eaten on this day is named after the dragon. For example,
Eating dumplings is "eating dragon ears"; eating wontons is "eating longan"; the emperor is the real dragon emperor, and the fourth master is the emperor's son. Isn't it disrespectful to the emperor to eat these things?"
"Oh, there is such a saying?" This was the first time that Yinzhen heard it, and he found it quite new. After thinking about it for a while, he understood, "So eating noodles is like eating dragon whiskers? Doesn't that mean that he is still talking to Emperor Ama?
Disrespectful?”
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "People call eating noodles the dragon's beard, so this is not disrespectful, so Fourth Master, you can feel free to eat it."
"What an interesting statement." Yinzhen smiled and turned around and entered the room. After Ling Ruo accompanied him and talked for a while, he saw Mo Yu walking quickly holding a red lacquer tray. After bowing, he brought the noodles to Yinzhen.
In front of Zhen, although she had walked very fast, this place was far away from the kitchen, so the noodles would inevitably become a little mushy.
"Fourth Master, wait a minute." Ling Ruo took out a small porcelain bottle from the cabinet, and after opening it, a sweet fragrance hit her nostrils.
"What is this? It seems like honey, but there is also the fragrance of osmanthus in it." Yinzhen asked curiously.
Ling Ruo took a small spoonful and mixed it into the noodles, and replied: "This is called osmanthus honey. Wash and dry the osmanthus flowers that are blooming in autumn, then combine them with honey and seal the lid. You can open it at any time.
It’s edible, it’s fragrant and sweet and the color is beautiful.”
Indeed, that spoonful of golden honey mixed with osmanthus petals made people move their index fingers. Yinzhen took a spoonful of noodles and put it into his mouth. He suddenly felt that it was sweet and delicious, and he ate the whole bowl of noodles in a few seconds.
After finishing the meal, he still felt a little unsatisfied. He took the handkerchief handed by Ling Ruo, wiped his mouth and said, "It's really good. I'm really sorry you came up with these ideas."
"I didn't come up with it, it was my mother who taught me this. This bottle of honey was brought by the Amato people a few days ago." After saying this, her expression darkened slightly, but she soon looked normal again.
However, it still couldn't escape Yinzhen's eyes.
"Miss your family?" These four simple words brought out all Ling Ruo's suppressed feelings of missing her family. No matter how calm and intelligent she was, she was only sixteen years old and this was the first time she left.
There is no reason to miss home. Whenever I dream about it at midnight and find that I can never go back to the past, I often burst into tears.
She took a long breath and looked at Yinzhen with tearful eyes, "If I say yes, will Fourth Master blame me?"
"This is the long-lasting love of human beings. Why is it so strange?" Yinzhen stroked her face that was about to cry and said softly: "When you are free one day, I will ask your mother-in-law to come into the house and meet you.
How was it when we last met?"
"Really?" Ling Ruo couldn't believe her ears when she heard the good news.
"Of course it's true." Yinzhen stroked her long, cloud-like hair, with a gentle expression that even he didn't notice.
"I thank Fourth Master!" Ling Ruo cried with joy. She didn't know what else to say besides thanking her.
Mo Yu was secretly happy for her girl. Since she entered the house, the girl has never been as happy as she is now. Even if she is smiling, she can't help but feel a trace of sadness in it. She only hopes that she can be happy every day in the future.
As happy as I am now.
Is life a happy and safe life? Mo Yu doesn’t know how luxurious his seemingly simple idea is to a woman in a deep house...
