Meet Ryuzo again(1/2)
After Fucha left, the group of beauties in the garden whispered for a while. Wan Yue knew that he didn't come over, and 80% of the people were talking about her. The flower garden was full of roses, summer hibiscus and jasmine, and a few bees and butterflies were flying up and down, so busy!
The maid from Tong's family brewed jasmine flowers and rose buds, mixed some honey, smelled the fragrance, and tasted sweet. Wan Yue took a sip and saw Min Yuan deliberately picking up a far-reaching and spacious table to sit down. Although the hatred between the two of them last time had disappeared, the relationship was not good enough to be close. She sat down with Lewei in a place close to the jasmine flowers.
The two picked up the cups and drank them to each other. Lewei smiled and said, "Auntie, I will toast you with tea instead of wine."
Wanyue smiled and drank it all in one go.
Putting down the cup, Lewei's curved eyes were like crescent moons. She pinched a piece of the flower cake on the plate she was holding and chewed it carefully. The rest was left in front of Wan Yue, "Auntie, my uncle seems to like you very much."
This flower cake seems to be mixed with dried osmanthus, which is a little sweeter than the single rose. However, the pastry wrapped on the outside melts in the mouth, which is very delicious. After hearing Lewei's words, Wan Yue was not surprised or shy to defend herself. "Is that right?"
Is that? Lewei's crescent eyes stared from the second day of the lunar month to the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. "So you know it all! No wonder you were not surprised at all when you heard it. Could it be that my uncle has told you all this? "
"That's not." It was a bit choking to eat dried crispy cakes. Wan Yue picked up a cup of perilla water with ice and pressed it down. He took a sip and raised his eyes and said to Le Wei: "Your uncle is a honest person. He can't hide things. He likes and dislikes to others in his eyes. When he saw me the first time, he praised me like the white crystal snow, and the moon hung in the sky. I heard that I was Wang Shimin's niece, so I specially found his and Dong Qichang's calligraphy and paintings. Every time I was not in the year, I sent silk and hairpins. Every time I went to you, my elder sister, and my sister-in-law, each serving of four women in our mansion."
Lewei dimples bloomed, "I have benefited from you recently."
"Just now, he came over to get close to me as if no one was around, but I am afraid that the women in this yard will dislike me."
Lewei put down half of the melon seeds, "What do you think about them? My uncle was selected to be in the Imperial College. He is the top student in the summer. He has a good appearance and a good family background. He is willing to like them but not others. Besides, who is an official in the court now, who doesn't respect my grandfather? You are the daughter of First-class Gong Aoboi. You are so good-looking and it's normal for people to be favored!"
Wan Yue is quite helpful to this little singer, "I'm so sweet, drink your tea!"
Le Wei smiled sweetly and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The people here are all famous girls from the capital. Although they can choose what they like from familiar portals, most of them have to rely on their parents to make the decision, and even the emperor makes the marriage. Everyone in the Imperial College likes the talents of the Imperial College, and they are just a girl Mengchun, so they will naturally reveal it. If Ma Qi really likes you, what can they do? In addition to my uncle, there are new talented men from all over the country every year, and wise men from all over the world. Let's change another one! They will never have a bad time with you for a man, because it is their relationship with Ama and you."
A few words were called Wan Yue’s enlightenment, which was more refreshing and refreshing than drinking the tea mixed with mint leaves. “Lewei, who said you are stupid? You are obviously wise and foolish!”
However, Lewei rarely said to her seriously: "It's not that I'm smart, but that I have lived in this circle since I was born. I will naturally understand after seeing more. My aunt, you grow up in the south of the Yangtze River. The Wang family is a family of scholars. There are no such things as pursuing fame and fortune. I envy you very much."
Wan Yue smiled faintly, "There is no real clean and clear house. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Where there is sunlight, there will be no places where there is no light. The pursuit of fame and fortune among scholars is not much less than here." Didn't the original owner's mother almost be forced to death by her biological father?
"Just keep our true intentions."
Le Wei and Wan Yue looked at each other and smiled. The Tong family's maid changed to fruit tea and came up.
In the tea soup, dried oranges, dried plums, and dried melons are boiled and soaked. Compared with the flowers, it has less fragrance and more fruity fragrance.
Several ladies came over, and invited Lewei and Wanyue, "Lewei, Sister Yuan'er and Sister Xiuyun, I plan to go to the lotus pond over there to have a good time. Should you and your aunt be with us?"
Lewei likes to peel lotus pods, and she usually likes to play in the lotus pond outside the moon.
It was really similar to what Lewei said. These ladies were a little hostile to her because of Ma Qi. Now they were like nothing happened again, and they still spoke with her in a friendly manner.
This is also good, everyone is decent.
Wan Yue and Lewei smiled and said, "I know you like lotus pods. If you want to go, go with them. I am tired and want to take a break here. And I am leaving, but my elder sister is the only one left. How embarrassing."
"It seems to be the same. Since that's the case, I'll go with them, so you can sit for a while." Lewei got up and walked to the place where she appreciated the lotus with the daughter of the Minister of Works.
Nearly half of the people in the garden were missing. Wan Yue felt comfortable. She poured a cup of rose dew on her own and looked back at Min Yuan. She also talked and laughed with Mrs. Tong at some point. Wan Yue smiled softly, and it seemed that she didn't need her anymore. Now she is really comfortable.
After sitting bored for a while, Wan Yue felt tired, so she stood up and walked to a pavilion on the rockery. There were two words written on the pavilion: Dingyun. The rockery is the highest point in the garden, with strange rocks and rugged pines and cypresses, which can also see the scenery of the whole garden.
She wiped the sweat with a sweat towel. Just as she was looking into the distance, a figure that had been missing her for many days came into view. Wanyue almost staggered and accidentally kicked a stone under her feet. The stone fell on a bluestone but bounced into the pool inside the next garden wall, causing ripples.
The man in the next yard was also shocked to look up. Who is not the fake Nalan Xingde?
How could he be here? Yes! He and Ye Kesu are both Luanyi Guards, and Ye Kesu is the commander, that is his boss. He must have come to flatter him for his superiors' birthday.
The two looked at each other, and in a moment, all kinds of thoughts appeared in Wanyue's heart like lightning. Should she immediately shake people, call Ama or the manager of the family, and detain the guy who was cheating, or stabilize him first, so as not to alarm the enemy.
The other party seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and was afraid that she would open her voice at this moment, so she raised her fingers and made a gesture to silence her lips.
Wan Yue also moved her lips silently to the other party. Xuanye understood the two words she said: Don’t run away. He immediately smiled, stood with his hands behind his back, and quietly waited for the other party to arrive.
After a while, Wan Yue came down from the rockery slope, passed through the Yue Cave Gate, and came to the yard.
The boy was still dressed simply, wearing a royal blue straight-up dressed white jade pendant hanging around his waist. He stood under the crape myrtle tree. He was not surprised or panicked when he saw Wan Yue, as if he was waiting for an old friend.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. How safe is 'Junior Rongruo'? But last month, I met a young man on Qianmen Street. He also said that his name was Nalan Rongruo and he lived in Shicha Haiyaoer Hutong. This surprised me. How many sons did Lord Mingzhu have?"
Two months later, Xuanye saw that she seemed to be more graceful than when she saw her before, and she also relied on clothes. Her dress was dressed in brocade clothes, making her elegant and elegant charm even more noble. This touch of purple is not inferior to the crape myrtle tree behind her.
Xuanye knew that he was in the wrong, and he didn't defend himself, and he smiled with a smile on his eyes. "I'm sorry, Miss Wanyue, I'm not named Nalan Rongruo. That day I said my name was Long San, but you didn't believe it. I thought maybe the minion didn't deserve his name, so I had to use the name of a talented man."
Wan Yue was a little angry, "I treat the young master with sincerity. The young master not only fooled me with a false name, but also picked up my sword and refused to return it."
Xuanye hid a smile and showed a little confusion: "What kind of sword? The girl came up and asked for guilt. Long was really confused."
Wan Yue took a deep breath, looking at his calm and puzzled look, as if he was really ignorant. Could it be that he was really not taking it? Just as he was about to doubt whether he had blamed the wrong person, he thought again: No! This person even his name is fake, so why is it impossible to say lies?
"I remembered when I went back. The knife was initially in my hands and was used to threaten you. Later, you took it away and slaughtered the thieves. The housekeeper checked and found that there were no swords on the thieves' corpses, and there were no ones on the mountain. The possibility of being picked up by you is indeed the greatest."
Xuan Ye chuckled, "After all, Miss Wan Yue lost her thing, and the whereabouts are all based on speculation. Is there any witness witness? The dark day was chaotic and you didn't find it, so you said I took it. If you were to take the prisoner as a Luanyi Guard, there would probably be many more unjust, false and wrong cases."
Wan Yue said in a deep voice: "I am a witness. You wiped a villain's neck with a knife. The last one you dealt with, you inserted it into his chest, pulled it out, and blood splattered on the tree trunk. The manager responded. The remnants fled."
"It was good at my hands at that time, but after I got back with you, I was no longer in my hands. Maybe I threw it away at that time, maybe I fell into the valley."
"You are not trying to give it to me."
"You also deliberately decided that it was me."
Word by word, the other party blocked every question from Wan Yue back like a Tai Chi. Wan Yue suddenly felt a little panicked. He seemed to be facing an unfathomable abyss. Although this man looked not very old and not as sincere as Ma Qi or as honest as Dafu. He was even more elusive than Ye Kesu, and his aura was not inferior to Ama standing here.
The people of Luanyi Guard are indeed ruthless! No wonder many officials were also disgusted. But since he knew that she belonged to the Oboi family, he was somewhat afraid of others, but this person didn't. The words he said were difficult to tell the truth, like a cloud of fog.
"Who are you? A royal relative?"
"It's almost the same!" The wind blew a tree of fallen walnuts, rolled up a corner of the royal blue robe. The boy did not move at all, and did not answer Wan Yue's question, "I have important things to do now, so I won't be with you."
Wan Yue walked around in front and blocked Xuanye's way, "Even if it wasn't in your hands, you lost it. You have to compensate me. Either help me find it or pay the same."
There were a few drops of drizzle drifting above my head, mixed in the fallen flowers, and it was quiet everywhere. Between the rockery outside the wall, there was a trance and ethereal crowd of people. She suddenly thought of something, and then smiled sly, "Today is the birthday of Grandma Ye Kesu. You, a Luanyi Guard, do not flatter you, but are here alone. Unexpectedly, you are a dignified person, but a thief!"
The girl's eyes as bright as black grapes were like scooping two clear springs, flowing into people's hearts, but they were as cunning as a fox.
Xuanye smiled instead, "I mean you want to call someone to catch me?"
The girl did not answer, which was the default.
Xuanye lowered his head slightly and quietly approached her and said, "Then aren't you afraid that I will kill someone to silence me?"
Wan Yue was shocked and took a step back involuntarily. Suddenly, she understood and smiled and said, "Young Master deliberately scared me and made me retreat. For a trivial matter, killing the daughter of another first-rank official in the family of a first-rank official in the court would be a shocking case. At that time, the emperor would definitely be alarmed and sent a sea of arrests and documents to chase you all over the world, and it would be unpaid!"
Xuanye looked at the clever man in front of him and wanted to laugh more and more. Why did Obai, the tiger, give birth to such a cat with fangs and claws? It looked like the Persian blue-eyed and snow-white curly cat raised by Aunt Su Mala. If it weren't for the important urgent matters today, he wouldn't have delayed it, otherwise he would really want to tease her more.
"Will we talk about this later?"
"No! Your Luanyi Guards are elusive in handling the case. Maybe tomorrow you will sneak into whose mansion with anonymity. Who am I looking for? If the case is extremely dangerous, you..." In the hands of the enemy, Wan Yue did not say the second half of the sentence. Xuanye understood the meaning and said with a calm face: "Are you afraid that I will die, right?"
"Of course it's not." Wan Yue quickly waved his hand and denied it, but he couldn't help but remember the situation when he was chased by the Blood Moon Sect outside Guanghua Temple that day, and he still feels scared.
"I'm afraid I'll run away, and I'm not afraid of being killed by me, so you can follow me." Xuanye didn't look back and walked forward with big strides. Wan Yue thought about it. It was blue sky and sunny, and it was in Tong Guowei's mansion again. What could he do wrong? Wan Yue followed.
After walking a few steps, the two of them had already walked to a quaint wooden door.
"Who is talking outside?"
Xuanye smiled knowingly and replied loudly: "Madam Guo Luo, it's me! I'm Tuva!"
Wan Yue frowned, Rabbit Baby? What's the name? She raised her head in confusion and looked at the door. Why is there such a small and broken courtyard in Tong's house? It's the servants who live in it!
The door was opened from inside, and a nanny supported another old woman. She was very happy when she saw Xuanye and held his hand tightly, "Tuwa, is it really you? You are so old! You are becoming more and more like your mother! You can come to see Madam Guo Luo! Madam Guo Luo is so happy!"
"Come in!"
The two old women greeted Xuan Ye in and saw Wan Yue following him. The old woman showed a puzzled look, "Is this?"
Xuanye was stunned for a moment, "Oh, my maid."
Wan Yue gave Xuanye annoyed look and said to herself: I'm obviously your creditor!
"Good kids, come in!"
Wan Yue didn't know where this was, nor did she know whether she should go in, so she just walked outside the door. Xuanye whispered to her: "Come in too, my Madam Guo Luo likes children the most."
Wan Yue did not refuse and went into the yard with Xuanye. She found that although the yard looked simple outside, the inside was plain and square, and everything should be available. The courtyard was large, with fruit trees and vegetable beds.
The old woman led them to a peach tree and smiled lovingly, "I'll treat you to peaches."
After that, he gave Xuanye and Wanyue one.
The plump peach is the most simple love that ordinary grandmothers have for their grandsons, and it is a precious thing that he has been trapped in the Forbidden City for his whole life.
Xuanye also took out something from his arms and opened the wrapped cloth. Wan Yue was surprised to find that it turned out to be a pair of reading glasses.
"This is an imported product I bought from Westerners. It is said that I can see more clearly with my eyes. Try it!"
The old man took it and put it on happily. The blurry courtyard in front of him became clear. It was her beloved vegetable bed, fruit tree, her grandson who looked so similar to her daughter, and a handsome little girl.
She narrowed her eyes, "Whose princess are you? Why are you born so beautiful?"
Wan Yue also felt that the old lady in front of her was very kind, so she leaned over and smiled, "Grandma, I am a member of the Guarja clan."
"Guarja! Guarja is a beauty, the number one warrior in Manchuria, Oboi, was also very handsome when he was young!"
Being praised her father unexpectedly, and asking for an appointment would mean that she would be praised again indirectly. Wan Yue smiled shyly and pretended to be careless, and went to see the vegetables in the corner.
"Tuva, Madam Guo Luo asked you, do you like that little girl?"
Xuanye was stunned and then laughed in a low voice: "Where is it! Grandma! I just met her for the second time! I insisted on following me!"
Jueluo said angrily: "You lied to me just now and said that she was a palace maid. Madam Guo Luo had never seen good things. She was dressed so luxuriously and had a surname of Guarjia. Could it be from the Aobai family, right?"
To be continued...
