In the days that followed, Yinzhen often visited Ling Ruo, and occasionally talked to her about the errands he was doing. A storm had formed that affected all officials, civil and military. He risked everything, no matter who or what the official was, whoever owed money
They were all urged to repay their debts, and there was no room for accommodation, including several princes and...the prince.
The prince was so angry that he scolded Yinzhen countless times behind his back. Yinzhen was his man, so he thought he would suppress the debt he owed him, but he didn't expect him to give him any face at all.
One night not long after, Wen Ruyan, who had been silent for several years, was favored by Yinzhen again. This continued for several days. Although he had guessed that this day would come when he paid his respects on that day, when it actually came, there was still something wrong.
Many people couldn't hold back their anger. Nian was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day and smashed almost everything in his hands. After hearing this, Nala laughed and ordered people to replace the things Nian smashed.
Send a copy over.
But Hongyu did not have Wen Ruyan's fate. Although she attracted Yinzhen's attention with a performance under the leadership of Mu Guiying under Ye Xiu's arrangement, the timing was unlucky. First, Ye Xiu had an accident, and then the Yellow River flooded and the household suffered a loss.
Yinzhen had forgotten her long ago and was still serving Ye Xiu in Liuyun Pavilion, but Hongyu still hoped that one day Yinzhen would think of her.
Wen Ruyan's favor made Ling Ruo's position in the house more stable. Although it could not be compared with the Nian family, no one dared to make a move. As for the Guarjia family, they also fell silent and did not make any more changes.
While everything was calm in Baylor Mansion, the storm in the court intensified. Yinzhen personally pursued debts owed by princes and princes, while another upright official from the Ministry of Household Affairs was responsible for collecting debts owed by officials. Countless people were summoned for questioning. Over the years,
The accumulated arrears can hardly be recovered in a short time. There are many people begging for mercy and making trouble.
Day after day like this, the cold winter has passed without realizing it, spring has begun to bloom, the withered trees have sprouted tender buds again, and everything is flourishing. Yes, no matter how cold the winter is, it will eventually pass. The four seasons
Reincarnation never ends.
The sun was shining brightly on this day, and it felt warm on my body. In the courtyard of Jingsi Residence, there were two cherry blossoms that were moved from other places last year. They were already blooming like clouds, and looked like crimson clouds from a distance.
It is splendid under the light golden sunshine; occasionally a warm wind blows through the treetops, blowing down a few light and silky petals on the swing frame between two trees, as if printed on it.
Ling Ruo held a cup of warm goat's milk and sat on the swing covered with soft cushions, slowly swinging. Cherry blossoms fell on her hair and shoulders from time to time, and a very faint floral fragrance lingered in her nose.
After taking a sip of the goat's milk that didn't smell of any sandalwood, Ling Ruo recalled in her mind what Rong Yuan said when she came to take her pulse a few days ago. The fetus in Ye Xiu's belly is now nine months old, and it has started to move frequently in recent days.
, the abdomen often becomes hard and cannot be suppressed by any anti-fetal medicine. I think I will give birth in the near future, although it is not enough yet.
Month, but the difference between the child in September and the child in October is not much different, as long as he takes good care of it after birth, he even told Ling Ruo that if the prediction is correct, Ye Xiu is pregnant with twins. However, because he is not completely sure, he
He did not tell Yinzhen and others, and even if Nala and others asked about it, they would only say that the diagnosis could not be made.
As for Li's side, it was still the same as before. She was obviously pregnant for more than seven months, but her pulse was sometimes like June and sometimes like August, which puzzled Rong Yuan.
Ling Ruo was lost in thought when suddenly a pair of slightly cool hands covered her eyes from behind, and a strange voice sounded in her ears, "Guess who I am?"
"Lan'er." Ling Ruo chuckled and pulled down her blindfolded hands. She turned around and saw the pretty and cute Yilan in a lake blue embroidered short coat. However, the person next to Yilan made her stunned for a while.
Lingxi, it turned out to be Lingxi! You must know that since that incident, Lingxi had almost never stepped out of Linglong Pavilion. Even that time in Qingyin Pavilion, it was Li who finally persuaded her.
Yilan smiled and hugged Ling Ruo's neck and said proudly: "How? Isn't it surprising? Hehe, I just went to talk to Lingxi and told her that the cherry blossoms in our yard were in bloom, like clouds and clouds, and they were beautiful.
, Lingxi said she also wanted to see it, and then I brought her here."
Ling Ruo couldn't help but look at the cherry blossoms in the sky with an obsessed face, "Lingxi, do you like cherry blossoms?"
"Yes." Lingxi rarely responded to other people's words, reaching out to catch a falling petal and caressing it carefully, "They are very beautiful. In the past, Honghui and I often ran to see the flowers when they bloomed, but this year they are here."
It was rare for her to say so many words at once, but her eyes always fell on the petals in her hands. The cherry blossoms were still there, but the person was already mutilated...
"If you like it, you can come and see it every day." Ling Ruo knelt down and spoke as slowly as possible, following her gaze: "Do you want to sit on the tree? You can touch the cherry blossoms as soon as you reach out."
Hearing these words, Lingxi's eyes lit up instantly and she blurted out: "Is it okay?"
"There is nothing wrong with our little Princess." Seeing that she was willing to talk to him, Ling Ruo felt happy. She stood up and called Xiao Luzi and Xiao Changzi, and ordered them to move a ladder and lean it against the trunk of the cherry blossom tree. After testing that it was firm enough,
, the two of them held the ladder one by one and said, "Master, it's ready."
Ling Ruo nodded and looked at Lingxi and Yilan and said, "Are you interested in climbing up?"
Yilan looked at the cherry blossom tree that was several feet high, shook her head with some fear and said, "Sister, you know I'm afraid of heights. I'm afraid I'll faint before I even climb up. It would be terrible if I fall down."
Lingxi didn't speak, but she was already climbing up the ladder step by step. Her originally lackluster eyes gradually lit up as she came into contact with the cherry blossom trees. Ling Ruo didn't trust her alone, so after taking off her flowerpot-soled shoes, she also
Then she climbed up. When she climbed up, Lingxi was already sitting on a tree trunk full of flower clusters, her two little feet dangling gently in the air. She raised her head and walked through the sky among the soft flowers and leaves surrounding her.
The cherry blossoms all over the ground look towards the clear blue sky.
"What are you thinking about?" Ling Ruo sat next to her. This tree trunk was very strong. Even though two people were sitting on it, it only swayed slightly and remained motionless.
Lingxi lowered her head to look at her, picked one of the cherry blossoms within easy reach and pinned it to Ling Ruo's lapel, "He likes you very much."
Ling Ruo knew she was talking about Honghui, and slightly curved her lips, "I know, I like him too, but he has gone, and he will never come back even if he misses him again. Lingxi, Honghui hopes to see you more in the sky."
The look of laughter among the cherry blossoms, rather than full of sadness."
There was silence, and Ling Ruo didn't know if she heard it. After a long time, a subtle voice came into her ears, "I didn't see Honghui in the sky, he must still be blaming me."
A gust of wind blew up, blowing up their clothes and hair, flying in the air together with the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky, captivating everyone's eyes.
Lingxi shook her head, lowered her eyes that became lifeless again and said, "I want to go down."
She didn't want to say it, and Ling Ruo couldn't help it. He led her to climb down the long ladder carefully. The feeling of being down to earth again made Lingxi unable to adapt for a moment. She raised her head, and the cherry blossoms were still gorgeous. No one would know that she was on the tree just now.
There was a moment when she wanted to jump down from the tree...
One thought of flowers blooming, one thought of flowers dying. In this world with long mountains and long rivers, not everyone has the courage to go on...
[Author's digression]: Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long.
Thank you all for your concern for the baby. The baby is taking Chinese medicine for treatment, and a book friend asked me to take the baby for exercise. Well... the world of a ten-month-old baby is incomprehensible to us.
By the way, I saw a book friend in the book review area today asking me why I mentioned my baby here. From what she said, I felt like she thought I was a bit pretentious. Well, I actually just wanted to share it with you.
Regarding my affairs, we should communicate more and be like friends, not just the relationship between the writer and the reader. If you think what I did is wrong, then I apologize to you.
