When night fell, Ah Ru and Ah Hao packed up after eating a simple meal.
"Okay, listen." A Ru suddenly whispered.
Ah Hao hummed and listened with open ears.
There was a faint sound of silk and bamboo singing in the night wind.
"Oh, there's a banquet ahead..." Ah Hao said, his eyes twinkling with a bit of longing, "It must be very lively tonight. Sister, what do you think the prince is like now? He's been gone for three years, and I don't know.
forget.."
Aru looked outside the courtyard door and smiled.
"Your Majesty, you must be looking better." She said, pushing Ah Hao who was still thinking with his head tilted, "Let's go quickly, pack up early, boil some water, and let the young lady wash up."
Ah Hao nodded and the two of them laughed and went into the kitchen. Qi Yue in the room put down her erect ears and rubbed her face with a headache.
God, it's been so long, why don't you let me go back? I haven't even been in love yet, so I just became my wife. This is really kidding me.
That night, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo singing and laughter in the night wind, Qi Yue fell asleep with nightmares. In the dream, a man who looked like a terracotta warrior was pestering her, either beating or scolding her, and even wanted to do something wrong.
The next day, looking at Qi Yue who obviously didn't sleep well, Aru sighed, looking a little sad, saying how could he not care if he didn't care? The husband returned after a long absence, but the wife couldn't see him again.
There was still excitement in the evening. According to Aru's analysis, relatives and friends should have come to visit. No one came to their place that day. It seemed that the three people in Qiutongyuan had been completely forgotten.
Qi Yue has the habit of taking a nap. Every time at this time, Ah Ru and Ah Hao will sit in their house and do some sewing work. Although there is a needlework woman in the house, they always can't get the things from Qiutongyuan.
, the work sent over was also ranked last, and even the work was not done, and things could be lost, so A Ru and A Hao simply did it themselves. These embroidery and sewing skills are compulsory skills, and it is not easy to do them.
Troublesome.
"The young lady's shoes seem to have worn edges." Ah Hao, while embroidering a handkerchief, remembered something and said to Ah Ru, "I put them in the shoe cabinet over there in the ear room."
"I'll go get it and fix it." Aru put down what he was doing and stood up.
It was a bit hot at noon in July, and the chirping of autumn cicadas could be heard from inside and outside the yard. The rough girl at home would stick cicadas to chase the birds away every day, but no one paid attention to them in Qiutong Courtyard, and Aru was afraid of disturbing Qi Yue while sleeping.
"Young Madam can't sleep well at night, you go outside to make cicadas and don't disturb Young Madam from taking a nap..." Aru said.
Ah Hao responded, walked out, picked up a bamboo pole in the yard, opened the door and went out.
Aru walked gently to the door of Qi Yue's house. Before she could even lift the curtain, she saw Qi Yue standing on a stool in the main hall through the gauze curtain, holding a slip in her hand. She was so frightened that she screamed.
"Young Madam, you...you..." Aru rushed in, hugged Qi Yue's legs and cried loudly.
Qi Yue, who was holding a bed sheet as a rope, was very embarrassed because the owner of this body's legal husband had returned. She was restless, wishing to wake up and return to the modern world, but she couldn't. She kept thinking that the owner of this body had hanged himself.
When I was possessed by myself, could I hang myself back again? The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible. I didn’t have any other ideas, so I came to try it out of luck. As soon as I stood up, I was hit by Aru.
.
"No, it's not what you think." She could only explain in a dumbfounded way, reaching out to comfort Aru.
Aru's emotions that had been accumulated for many days were released with this cry, and she couldn't control it at all. After crying for a while, Qi Yue tried to persuade her to calm down.
"This is not for fun..." Aru said with tears after hearing Qi Yue's stuttering explanation. He knelt down and hugged Qi Yue's legs, raised his head and cried, "This is not for fun..."
"Yes, I was wrong, I don't want to play anymore." Qi Yue smiled and repeatedly reached out to pull her up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Young madam, if you are sad, just cry and say it out. It has been so long, don't treat your slave as an outsider..." Aru choked.
"I'm really not sad..." Qi Yue smiled.
"The Crown Prince will definitely come to see you, otherwise, let me go and see the Crown Prince..." Aru said.
"Don't." Qi Yue was so frightened that she hurriedly held her hand, "No one even informed us. Obviously they don't want us to show up. If you go at this time, you are afraid of annoying others and not getting along well. Wait.
Well, since the person is back anyway, he can’t be gone forever.”
Aru nodded, wiped his tears and looked at Qi Yue.
"Then young lady, please don't do stupid things again," she said.
Qi Yue nodded hurriedly and promised again and again.
"Where's Ah Hao?" she asked as she interrupted her conversation.
"I was afraid that my wife would be noisy while sleeping, so I asked her to go out and make cicadas." Aru said.
Nian Chan, Qi Yue has never played this before.
"Is it fun?" she asked with a smile.
Ah Hao didn't know whether sticking cicadas was fun or not. In contrast, she wanted to quickly embroider the handkerchief for the young lady. It was hot and there was not enough handkerchiefs to change, so doing this felt like a waste of time.
Very angry.
"Let you scream, let you scream, hum, you lazy hooves, those hooves who look at others' dishes, and the cicadas here who look down on others and don't care about us..." She circled the trees one by one,
While muttering, "Go, go, leave here, go to a place with many people and call..."
"Okay."
Suddenly a voice called her.
Ah Hao raised the pole to look and saw a girl in purple waving to her on the road not far away. The sun was shining brightly at noon, making her unable to open her eyes.
"Who?" she asked, "calling me?"
"Okay, come quickly." The girl waved and shouted.
"What's going on?" Ah Hao walked over with the bamboo pole. As he got closer, he saw a strange girl. After a while of serious recognition, he finally recognized her, "It's the Yinhuan in Madam's Courtyard. Are you looking for me?"
"I am in the Prince's courtyard now," she said with a smile. "The Prince distributes things to various courtyards. We are very busy there and we really don't care about delivering them to each house. If you have time, go and get them."
When the family members go out, they will indeed bring gifts to each room when they come back. They are not very expensive. The men bring pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and the women bring some fans and other small toys. But this is the first time for the prince to be here.
Ah Hao looked surprised.
"Really?" she asked, somewhat disbelieving that the prince would actually bring them something without even saying a word in the past three years...
"Don't believe it?" Yinhuan smiled and waved her hand, "That's it, but that's right. In fact, the prince didn't say it was specially for you. I was just passing the message in the yard. I happened to see my sister passing by here, so I was too talkative. Sister
Just pretend I didn’t say it..."
She said turning around and leaving.
Hearing what she said, Ah Hao believed most of it. As expected, the prince didn't name them, but he didn't say that he didn't mention them. Since they are available in every courtyard, Qiutong Yuan is a courtyard, so it's not wrong to go there. Besides, if
If you go there by yourself, you might be able to meet the Crown Prince, and if you are lucky, you can talk to him...
"Sister, wait for me." Ah Hao threw down the bamboo pole and hurriedly caught up, "Did Madam assign you to the Crown Prince's Courtyard? How many more did Madam add to the Crown Prince's Courtyard this time?"
We talked all the way and drifted away. (To be continued)
