Chapter 77 People from Linxian County to relieve homesickness
Three days later, the servants of Linxian County rushed to Cangzhou, which was delayed for a day. Ruo Ying waited anxiously and went to the door to greet her in person. Seeing her like this, the lady didn't dare to neglect to meet her in person. She also went to clean up the empty yard in the backyard and let the servants live for the time being. Ruo Yan was quite grateful for this and took her hand to thank her sincerely.
Caiyun and Ruoyu haven't seen each other for more than a month, and they don't care about the difference between master and servant. Ren Tong helped him get out of the carriage and threw himself into Ruoyu's arms with a slightly raised belly. "Madam, you want to be a colorful cloud." Ruo Ying was also made to cry by her.
"Isn't this coming? Still crying and not thinking about the child in his belly. Ren Tong pulled her aside and looked bitterly at Ruoyu and said, "Madam doesn't know. She cried when she thought of you along the way, more than a dozen times!"
Ruo Ying took out a veil and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled, "Isn't it a meeting? What are you crying about? Xiaoqiu, help your sister Caiyun to rest quickly. Xiaoqiu quickly walked over, called her sister with a smile, and then helped Caiyun down.
Ren Tong and Ruoyan said a few words in their ears to make it easier for them to stop talking. Ruo Ying's face was cold and cold, and she whispered, "Does Mrs. Qin and Sister Yulan in Lin County know?" Ren Tong shook his head, "I'm afraid he doesn't know. I'm afraid he can't say this kind of shameful thing."
"Where are the people?" Ruo Ying poked the veil with her hands, and tears rolled straight in her eyes. It was only a few days. Why did she look like this?
As soon as Ren Tong was about to speak, he saw He coming over and didn't say anything. "Sister, why are you still standing at the door? This little thing keeps the servants busy." Ruo Ying nodded with a smile, "What my sister-in-law said is that these people here should be assigned to my sister-in-law for the time being! I'll go to the shop with the stewor and have a look first. It's not easy to be blind tomorrow.
"Okay, you go first. I'll be fine here." He waved the handkerchief in his hand and began to point. Ruo Ying gave Ren Tong a look, drove a carriage over, and took Dong'er and Juan'er together.
Soon after the carriage bumped, it tightened its reins and said, "Madam, here." Ren Tong got out of the car and came to help each other. Ruo Ying stepped out and ran to the second floor. When Donger and Juaner saw her appearance, they were scared out of a cold sweat. As soon as they reflected that they wanted to chase her, they were blocked by Ren Tong. "Are you familiar with Donger here?"
Dong'er nodded, "Brother Ren, who is in this room?" Ren Tong looked at Juaner beside her and said something in her ear. Dong'er's eyes widened, "I'll go now, I'll go now." After saying that, there was no shadow. Ren Tong guided the position and asked Juaner to sit here and wait for his wife, and he went to the stores where his wife instructed to have a look.
At the moment of pushing the door, Ruo Ying only felt that her legs and feet were weak. Looking at him curled up at the head of the bed, could she see a trace of the original appearance? The dirty and decadent hair is like straw, sticking to the scalp. The gray robe on the body is full of cracked openings. The shoes on the feet have worn two big holes, and the toes make the sand red.
Especially when I saw the haggard yellow face buried in my chest, I felt that my heart seemed to be blocked by a big stone, and my chest was so stuffy that I couldn't speak. I whimpered and rushed over, but I was so distressed that I didn't know where to put my hand. There seemed to be a wound on his face, and the small one could only be seen when I got close.
reached out and gently wiped his cheeks. Lin Bai tightened his painful eyebrows. Ruo Yan didn't dare to touch it again, let alone disturb his sleeping appearance. He quickly got up and took the basin, soaked the veil, and gently wiped the mud off the wound for him. Lin Bai couldn't help moaning and stretched out his hand. Holding her wrist, he squinted his eyes and muttered, "Ruo... Ruo..." His voice was hoarse like a stringed leather band, and he was about to break the next moment.
Tears couldn't help dazzling her eyes. Ruoyan held his pale and skinny arm, "Lin Bai, Lin Bai, I'm Ruoyan, I'm Ruoyan! How did you become like this? Who hurt you? Who hurt you?
Lin Bai heard Ruoyan's voice and opened his eyes as if he had rushed to the electricity. His dark black pupils were full of disbelief. He slowly raised his arm to touch her face, but he dared not. Ruoyan pulled him and pressed him on his soft cheek. "Brother, look, I'm Ruoyan! It's really Ruo.
"Ruo Ying..." In front of him, he was held tightly in his arms, and he couldn't cry. Ruo, if I finally see you, I will be happy even if I die. Ruoyu quickly covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, aren't we all right? Come and I'll wipe it for you."
With that, he picked up his handkerchief and soaked it in the basin, and wiped the wounds on his cheeks and legs little by little, until his ankles. Lin Bai's face was already burning red, and he quickly withdrew into the quilt and refused to let her do it. Ruoyan saw his stubborn appearance, she pulled his feet out without squeakingly and pressed it in the basin for an inch. An inch helped him clean and gently scratched his heart.
"Don't do it, dirty..." Lin Bai stretched out his hand to raise the messy hair on her temples. Ruo looked up at him and smiled, "It's okay. Isn't it dirty after washing?" The original demonic eyes had lost their luster, and two drops of crystal clear ** slid through it and dripped on her shoulder. She felt more and more painful. "Bai, why are you doing this?"
"My sister doesn't say that the man is ambitious and shouldn't always live a muddle-headed life. So I exchanged my half-life home for freedom and wanted to go out and look around. What he said was light, but it was very different from what Ren Tong said. If Ren Tong hadn't met and saved him that day, he would have been beaten half to death by a group of hooligans and abandoned his body in the wilderness.
Now that I think about it, I can't be afraid. I clenched my hands tightly, and the anger of strong pressure can't help but release. "What my brother said is really light. Why are there so many wounds on my body and a high fever all the way? If I hadn't met Ren Tong, would my brother plan to kill me in a foreign country?"
"I..." Lin Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I, Lin Bai, am a person who is not worth worrying about. It doesn't matter if I die without death. Those women who say they like me don't like my face. Wouldn't it be better if they were destroyed or died? There is no harm in the world.
"Lin Bai, you weren't like this before." Ruo Ying didn't know how to persuade him. She turned her head and cried secretly, "Before? Ha..." He smiled meaninglessly, "That's because I had hope in my heart before, but since the person who brought me hope left, I have no hope, and it doesn't matter."
How could he not understand the hope in his mouth? He suddenly raised his head and bit his lower lip and shook his head, "Lin Bai, in fact, it's not what you think. I... Liang Mu wanted to go home, so that's why I left."
"Really? That would be the best." Lin Bai sneered and said, "It seems that I skipped too much. I thought that my sister really couldn't face it, so I left with my brother-in-law? I'm afraid you have hated my sanctimonious brother for a long time.
"Lin Bai, don't say anything, when did I think about you so much?" Ruoyan covered her ears hard and suddenly turned around to leave but was worried. She stood there in a row until a pair of thin arms slowly wrapped around her waist, so scared Ruoyan that even her heartbeat seemed to end. Ruo, do you know? Since you left, I haven't thought about it, and my mind is full of you. As long as I close my eyes, it will be your shadow. My heart hurts all the time. I don't even have the courage to live in pain. If I live like this all my life, it's really better to die.
His voice was soft and powerless, as if he was pleading. If he didn't dare to move or refuse, he was afraid of extinguishing his last hope of survival. He smiled bitterly, tightened his arms a little, and his thin arms seemed to be embedded in the meat. "I remember every word you once said, and now I have done it. I'm no longer Qingjun. I do everything to get freedom, can't I... stay with you?"
Can she say that she can't do it now? She dared not and was reluctant to say, because Lin Bai fell here for her so-called male self-esteem, how could she be willing to do it. OK, I'll find a place with you first. It's not the same thing to always stay in an inn. When Lin Bai saw her nodding, the big stone in his heart fell completely, took her hand, and smiled sweeter and sweeter.
That's the only way.
Dong'er prepared the medicinal materials and clothes that Ren Tong ordered to buy, and bought some fruit pears that Lin Bai loved to eat. Seeing that his wife chatted with him, it was not easy to disturb her. Lin Juaner came downstairs to peel the fruit. Lin Juaner saw something strange and flattered Dong'er: "Sister Donger, can I help you send it up?"
Coincidentally, Dong'er got her wife's order and went to get porridge and a few dishes, so she asked Lin Juaner to bring the fruit up. Lin Juaner walked to the door and heard the sound of laughing inside, and it was a man, as shy as she hurriedly lowered her head, slowly went in, put the fruit plate on the table by the bed, and was about to leave. Ruozhu turned around and took her hand, "juan'er, raise your head."
"Hey!" Lin Juaner slowly raised her head and was squinting slightly with Lin Bai's phoenix eyes. In an instant, both of them were stunned. Ruoyan saw that they were dumbfounded, she stretched out her hand in the middle and smiled, "Brother, do you two look very similar?"
Lin Bai nodded in surprise and couldn't open his mouth. "I think, it's really similar." Ruo Ying also nodded in agreement: "Don't you want to! And her surname is Lin, and her single name is Juaner. Lin Bai's hands trembled even more excitedly, and his pale face turned red because of excitement. He pointed to Lin Juan: "Do you...do you have another brother?"
Juaner shook her head with a wry smile: "I haven't had a family since I was a child. I was sold to a farmer's family as a child bride. A few months ago, the son of the master's family died of illness. They scolded me for killing the broom star and sold me."
This is the first time that Lin Juan talked about her family, and she subconsciously clenched her palm. "What a poor person." Lin Bai sneered and said, "She is not the only poor person in the world. I'm afraid it's the greatest honor for her to take care of you now."
"..." If Yan wanted to speak, her voice was choked in her throat. When Juan'er saw that she was distracted, she bent down and took the veil in her hand to wipe the wound for Lin Bai. However, Lin Bai was just a cold look. She quickly got up and stood up, "Madam, do you think it should change it? Clothes?"
Ruoyu then reflected and spread out the new set of blue and white robes bought by Donger and looked at Lin Bai. The robe was as white as snow, and only the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with silver orchid patterns. "Dong'er is really a girl with a good memory. I still remember what style you like to wear."
Lin Bai was also quite surprised by this point and nodded with a smile, "That girl looks simple, but her brain is easy to use. Every time she quarrels with my Lin Tong, Lin Tong is always angry." Ruoqi hurriedly asked, "If you leave, what about Lin Tong and Lin Yuan?"
Lin Bai said, "Lin Tong was dedicated to Qiu'er. When I left, I sent him to Qiu'er and gave them the deed of sale. Lin Yuan is also an old man. I don't want to drag him down, so I will go home with him.
Ruoyan couldn't help shaking her head: "You are thinking about others. Why don't you think about it for yourself? Do you know how dangerous it is for you to come out like this?" Lin Bai's proud face alone is enough to sell him ten times and eight times. What kind of freedom can we talk about a big man's idea?
When Lin Bai took medicine, changed his new clothes, and ate some porridge, he felt that his whole body was also light and refreshed. Ruoqi also spent half an afternoon outside, thinking that he wanted to go back to his house to have a look. He saw Lin Bai's attachment to himself, and he couldn't say anything for a long time. It happened that Ren Tong came back at this time.
The three talked about the store together. Ren Tong was quite satisfied with the size and location of those shops, but it took longer to decorate, so the people on the shop needed to stay in the Lian Mansion for a longer time.
Ruo Ying understood that Ren Tong was worried. After all, there was an old lady in the Lian family. So many people came unexpectedly. Ren Tong was worried that they would leave a topic. If Yan got up and took a few steps out, Ren Tong hurriedly followed out of the door. Then she said, "The yard behind the Lian family is large, and there are many empty houses. It's okay to live there. Now The most important thing is to buy a yard with Lin Bai first. He turned his head and looked into the room. "I saw that Lin Juan and he imagined a little, thinking that this might be his long-lost sister and wanted to leave her to take care of Lin Bai. What do you think, Ren Tong?"
Ren Tong shook his head: "Madam, your idea is good, but Lin Juan is the person around you and is assigned to the outside for no reason. I'm afraid it's the master's side, right?" He was right. If Yan was confused and ignored it, she nodded and said yes, so she entrusted the matter to Ren Tong to deal with it quickly.
The two whispered outside for a while. Ruo Ying went into the room and saw Lin Bai sleepy. She was asleep at the head of the bed. Lin Juan timidly huddled in the corner of the wall without saying a word. Ruo Ying pulled the quilt over his thin body, shook her head and called Juaner and went back downstairs.
Seeing that Ruo Jing hurried downstairs to greet her, Donger asked herself, "Madam, let me stay to take care of my uncle?" Ren Tong said, "You can do it with me. You all go back! Besides, he is sick and can't take care of anything with a little girl. Donger'd better go back to take care of his wife!"
Now Donger's mind is no longer looking forward to what to Lin Bai, but just feels that he is pitiful. What Ren Tong said is reasonable, and she no longer asks, holding Ruoyu's arm into the carriage. Lin Juan hasn't spoken for a long time. When she was about to get out of the car, she asked secretly, "Madam, is that man really my eldest brother?"
"This..." What does Ruoyan say!" Maybe! When you slowly recall what happened when you were a child, if you have a clue to say, and don't you have blood to recognize your relatives? We can also try it."
Dong'er looked at Lin Juan in surprise, "No wonder my wife wants to keep you in the house and look up at you. It turns out that you are also your uncle's separated sister!" He turned his head and took Ruoyan's hand and couldn't wait: "Madam, why don't you keep her sister to take care of your uncle?" How pitiful he is alone!"
"The eight characters have not been skimmed yet! You are in a hurry first." Ruoyan picked up the crisps bought by Ren Tong and blocked her mouth. "Remember to seal your mouths when you go back. I don't know anything about Lin Bai." Donger nodded quickly and put half of the crisp into Lin Juan's hand. "You also remember, don't say it, otherwise..." She wiped her neck, which scared Lin Juan to dare to speak any more.
The three of them got out of the car and walked quickly to their yard. Coincidentally, they met He Shi. She was coming in this direction with a plate of Shoutao. Ruoyu suddenly stopped and asked Lin Juan in a low voice, "How's my makeup?" Lin Juan turned around in front of her, reached out to smooth the hair on her forehead, and whispered, "V very good."
Dong'er trotted all the way and reached out to take over the Shoutao in He's hand: "Is this the eldest lady's birthday? This Shoutao looks so festive! It must be super delicious. He was praised with a happy smile and nodded Donger's forehead, "You greedy girl, this birthday peach is not for me to eat, but with your master."
As she spoke, she walked to Ruoqi's side and saw Ruoqi's surprise, but her face was slightly reproached: "It turns out that my sister really didn't know that Lian Mu's birthday is today! I also saw Lian Mu coming back and forth eagerly to find you. I said that you went to the bunk, but he didn't find it. He just went back to the house sullenly.
After He finished speaking happily, Ruoyu only felt her feet shaking, and she shed a fine cold sweat on a hot day. It turns out that today is Liangmu's birthday. Why didn't he tell himself? Xiang He was blessed, "So I won't talk to my sister-in-law, and I'm going back." After saying that, he turned around and hurried back to the yard.
The door was half open and half closed, gently blowing by the wind, "This door should be tar." Ruoyan went in with a smile. Liang Mu was sitting in front of the desk in front of the window, bowing her head and taking care of the accounts. She quietly walked around and reached out to cover his eyes: "Guess who I am?"
He didn't say anything, and some cold hands gently pulled her palm away. "Where have you been?" He hates to ask, and she hates answering, because she doesn't want to deceive people, but she has to cheat. I went to the shop first. When I came back, I heard the girls say that today is your birthday, but you didn't tell me? Her voice was full of grievance, and she looked up at him and then said, "Since you didn't tell me, I can't miss you, so I went to the winery to book a table. How about treating you for a drink tonight?"
Liang Mu smiled, but he didn't really hold her on his lap. "I don't like to eat in those flashy places. I just want to stay at home with you." His head rubbed gently, making people don't want to refuse his warmth.
"Okay, I'll do it for you in person." He lowered his head and kissed him in his hair, and in an instant, the person in his arms disappeared. Liang Mu trembled and breathed a sigh of relief, "She's going to the private courtyard... Well, at least she knows where she is." He said to himself, remembering the pain of not finding her just now. He really couldn't stand it. He couldn't wait to lock her in the room all day and hold her in his hand from time to time, as long as she didn't suddenly disappear.
