Chapter 66 [Rumo Rumo]
Chapter 66 [Ru Mo Ru Mo]
The sun shines brightly, and the sky looks particularly blue and bright in the transparent sunlight. A few faint white clouds float in the sky and add a long distance.
Ru Mo covered her eyes with her hands and looked at the elegant and chic shop in front of her feet. "Xin Xiangzhai" was clearly written on the plaque. Following a long red lantern in front of her, Rumo entered the front hall and saw a jingling copper bell hanging on the eaves of the inner hall, and a fragrant sand mantle floated with the bell...
"The shop has all kinds of spices. What kind of fragrance does the girl need?" After Sha Man, a clean and beautiful teenager similar to a boy came out, met Ru Mo and asked faintly.
Rooking at the aromatherapy material in the concave and convex lattice, Ru Mo smiled, "Is there any 'Yixin Zui' incense?"
"The girl's 'Yixin Zui' is Yeshi incense, and the small shop is full of the best sandalwood. Please choose some of the existing incense in this store." The boy smiled respectfully and refused.
Ru Mo raised her eyebrows and sighed slightly, "Alas... Other incense is too ordinary..."
"Does the girl really come to buy 'intoxicated'?" The young boy's round eyes turned and looked at Rumo hard, with a trace of cunning on his lips.
Rumo was surprised and stabilized her mood and shook her head, "Don't you have it? I'd better go to another house. Anyway, this can't be..." As soon as he opened his leg, he was stopped by the boy and said with a smile, "This can be."
"Oh?" Ru Mo stopped, snorted from her nose, and said to her heart, "Wolf in a little white rabbit skin, disgusting shop!"
"How much catty do the girl want?" The boy asked as he led Rumo to the backyard.
"How many pounds?" Ru Mo had a cold war for no reason, "Do you need to make a catty? I bought a hundred catties of 'Yi Xin Zui', which is not a joke..." The syllables pressed on the tongue have not been fully pronounced. I only heard a casual and even a little high voice outside, "Ha ha, what a coincidence..."
When Shen Yue, who was dressed in a folding fan in his hand, walked into the store and looked at Ru Mo's "welcome" face, an unpredictable light had already slipped through his eyes. He felt that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious.
Ru Mo was shocked, but turned around quietly on the surface, looked at the folding fan in Shen Yue's hand, nodded gently and smiled, "Good boy!"
"You don't have to be so polite, Miss Rumo. If your surname is Shen, you can call me 'Brother Shen'." Shen Yue opened the folding fan, fanned the fragrance that came to his face, and smiled at Ru Mo.
Smelling the faint fragrance on Shen Yue's body, Ru Mo was a little dizzy, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a beautiful smile bloomed, "Brother Shen!" Regardless of whether it's acting or not, at least this Shen Yue is not as annoying as expected. Many times she likes to confuse Shen Yue with Fan Yun.
When Ru Mo was stunned, Shen Yue proposed with great interest: "Shen and Rumo girl are like old friends at first sight. Today, I happen to have an appointment with a good friend. I don't know if Rumo can accompany me to go with you so that I can introduce you to my friend?"
"I don't know what kind of person Brother Shen's good friend is?" Rumo bit her lower lip, walked forward, and asked with a stiff smile.
Shen Yue showed a very naive and provocative smile on Rumo and replied, "My good friend brother, surnamed Fan Mingyun, is erudite and talented. Miss Rumo, you will like it when you see him."
Ru Mo's feet stagnated, and a knife flashed in her smiling eyes. "Well, this Shen Yue is either more refined than a monkey, or has an addiction to being a matchmaker. He must be intentional. The more he is afraid of, the more he is!"
"Hurry up, Rumo." Shen Yue strode forward and did not forget to look back.
Ru Mo's eyes trembled and looked bitter, "Come on!"
There is no shortage of small bridge flowing water, white wall tiles, pulp sound and light shadow. Ru Mo followed Shen Yue around the lake and stepped on the wooden arch bridge on the lake. As soon as I stepped on the wooden bridge, I saw Fan Yun sitting in the pavilion cooking tea.
"Brother Fan has been waiting for a long time." Shen Yuexin said hello and walked to Fan Yun and sat down.
Rumo walked or didn't sit, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Ha ha, ignore my existence, or do you think I'm air?"
Shen Yue looked up at Ru Mo and said with a smile, "Miss Rumo, please sit down quickly. Why are you still stunned?"
Ru Mo's smile stagnated and she was about to speak, but Fan Yun's eyes fell down. With the teacup in his hand shaking slightly, she hesitated for a long time and asked: "Brother Shen wants to introduce the one who can read poems and recipes, is this 'Ru Mo' girl?"
"Yes, yes, it's the great beauty in front of me, Miss Rumo. Brother Fan, this Rumo girl is not only smart, but also can recite poems. She is full of experience. In a moment, we have to learn from each other, haha. Shen Yue picked up a cup of tea, handed it to Ru Mo's hand, and said to himself with great interest.
Ru Mo lowered her head awkwardly, silently looked at the amber tea in the cup, and reluctantly smiled infinitely with anxiety, "Brother Shen is flattered. Ru Mo's little trick in front of the two masters is not worth mentioning at all."
"Miss Mo doesn't have to be modest. Speaking of which, we are old acquaintances." Fan Yun took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Old knowledge? Did he recognize me?" Ru Mo held the teacup in her hand to death. After a long time, she bit her lip and asked, "Brother Fan laughed. How can Ru Mo be lucky to become an old acquaintance with Brother Fan?"
"It is said that people's eyes can't deceive people. Your eyes are exactly the same as the eyes of a girl I know..." Fan Yun stood up and looked at Ru Mo. Finally, there were some waves in her voice. In a flash, she was a little cold and helpless. "After all, you are not her. Although your eyes are the same, your face is too cold. She is gentler than you."
Ru Mo suppressed the sourness in her heart and said with a light smile, "If Brother Fan's friend knows that Brother Fan misses her so much, she must miss Brother Fan in the same mood, so Brother Fan Don't be sad anymore. Good people will be rewarded. As long as there is fate, you will eventually We will meet again!" If she could tie her tongue, she would definitely do that now. In any case, she didn't want to lie to comfort Fan Yun.
She said that her face was too cold. Although this was a mask, after so many things, even she didn't know whether her original gentle face could be resurrected, let alone escape now to avoid Fan Yun's aggressive "question"!
"Where is Rumo girl from? Where is the ancestral home? Do you have any relatives around you?" Fan Yun raised his eyebrows and did not intend to let go of this "Rumo".
"Ha ha, it's time to find out the place of origin!" The corners of Ru Mo's mouth twitched, and her eyes opened her mouth earnestly. Anyway, she said "repeat sentences", and she was used to it.
Fan Yun and Shen Yue looked at each other. Shen Yue looked at Ru Mo with great light in his eyes and said in surprise, "Ha, Miss Rumo has just gone to Qinxiangzhai. Isn't it just a field investigation to seize the land?"
Ru Mo shook her head in a hurry and laughed, "Brother Shen, you are too straightforward. Drink tea, drink tea, drink tea, hehe, this tea is really delicious."
Fan Yun looked at Rumo in his eyes in disbelief and said uneasily, "Brother Shen, it was this 'Rumo' girl who sneaked into your house that night."
Ru Mo spewed out a mouthful of tea, and her mind finally turned into hiccups, "hiccups... I heard that Jianchangfu has beautiful scenery and unique architecture. If you are lucky, please forgive me for this visit!"
In Xiang's abandoned house, there was a faint yellow light from the window. As the sky became darker and darker, Rumo's hand trembled obviously, and the candlelight almost went out. There seemed to be an unusual breath in the air, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through my heart.
"Woman, this Jianchang Mansion is not peaceful. There are ghosts in it, and the people who live there are also black-hearted. Don't be blinded by their beautiful appearance. In those years, my 'tangxiang Tower' couldn't be opened. The lives of my family of twelve were buried in vain under the claws of the imperial court and Jianchang Mansion. Fortunately, I could change my face and survived..." Xiang's mother-in-law held a lamp candle, walked to Rumo and stared at her with a pair of cold and frightened eyes... Dead, horrible and suffocating.
Ru Mo foolishly pulled out a weak smile, "Is there any misunderstanding in this? Shen Yue, the little marquis of Jianchang Mansion, is only in his twenties, and he really doesn't look like that..." Before the words were finished, she was interrupted excitedly and angrily by Xiang's mother-in-law, "Won, do you know? In Jianchang City, my self-made incense was one of the best. Every year, it was sent to the capital in large quantities to pay tribute to the palace. But from the beginning of the opening day of the 'Qinxiangzhai' opposite, the business of 'Tianxianglou' became worse and worse. The loss of the owner, the desertion of the store, and even the later framing led to the early closure of the store. Even so, I thought that as long as the family could stay together, it was better than anything else. The old marquis put on a fold, and the golden imperial edict was wronged. A total of twelve people in my family were unjustly imprisoned, leaving me, an old woman, who narrowly escaped from death, anonymously and survived until now!"
"According to what you said, the old marquis did to persecute what he did in the 'tangxianglou' back then. What does it have to do with his son, the little marquis Shen Yue?" Ru Mo's voice was low and asked the doubts in her heart.
Xiang's mother-in-law's eyes were melancholy. She took Ru Mo's hand, swallowed her saliva and sneered. "Since the death of the old marquis, the 'Qinxiangzhai' has been well opened. The incense developed in their store is the formula eliminated by my family in those years, and every other month and a half, it is shipped to the capital in large quantities. Recently A new Jianchang mansion has been built. Is it strange that there is no ghost in it? With my family's incense and the signboard of his store, where is Tianli? So girl, I want you to find out who is involved in the capital and Jianchang Mansion behind the scenes?
Ru Mo was confused and stunned, "If this matter is sent directly to the government and let the government investigate and deal with it thoroughly, it is indeed a bribery from officials. It is impossible. The chance of winning is not high. If you investigate privately, you will not defend your rights for a while, and you will have to pay a lot of money and even human life. Alas... In a word, there is constant trouble. As an ordinary person, it is really difficult to live well!"
Saving a person's life is better than building a seven-level Futu, but the situation at this time is obviously to save a person's life, which needs to be repaid ten times. Free lunch, don't even think about it. Don't doubt that Xiang's mother-in-law is a kind person, but the evil anger of the poor man should still find someone to take care of her, and Rumo is undoubtedly the best candidate. She can not only become a successor, but also a private housekeeper. Why not?
When night falls, the evening breeze gently brushed his cheeks, and the snow-white and transparent veil was tied into the bun. For the sake of the mother-in-law and to repay her kindness, Rumo prepared to explore "Jianchang Mansion" for the second time!
