Chapter 157: Missing Flowers and No Flowers Picking
Ye Shuhua had a deep inner strength. He heard the footsteps of Mrs. Ji and took Song Ruoxi out to greet her. Mrs. Ji did not see the two of them drinking porridge elegantly and the other was watching with a smile.,
"Grandma, why are you here?" Song Ruoxi covered her mouth with a round fan, trying to cover up.
"Old lady, you are here." Ye Shuhua looked ashamed and looked down and did not dare to look at others.
"I heard from Xiangxiu that Shuhua came over before he could have breakfast. He must be hungry. I will send pastries to fill his hunger!" Mrs. Ji's eyes swept across Song Ruoxi's face and said with a crooked smile.
Song Ruoxi glanced at Xiangxiu, who was following Mrs. Ji. Such a large amount of evidence was placed on her lips, and she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to hide it. So she put down the round fan openly.
Ye Shuhua even had his ears red and bowed: "Thank you, my wife."
"Although the beginning of autumn is still hot, the sun is still hot, and it will be cooler to go in and talk." Mrs. Ji smiled.
The three of them entered the study. Mrs. Ji saw food on the small table on the cold couch, and a light blue embroidered filigree palette was thrown on the couch. She knew that the two of them were sitting face to face just now, smiling, and greeted: "Shuhua, eat first, don't be hungry."
"Yes, old lady." Ye Shuhua walked over and sat down.
Mrs. Ji sat down on the ring chair. In front of her, Song Ruoxi felt embarrassed to sit opposite Ye Shuhua, and sat down on the ring chair next to Mrs. Ji, gently shaking the round fan in her hand.
Ye Shuhua dared not let Mrs. Ji wait for a long time. The meal was elegant and fast. She rolled five silver silks in a bowl of double rice porridge and rolled them up a few times. She stood up and bowed to the end, "Old Madam, today I came to the door rashly. It was against etiquette and rules. Please forgive me."
"Don't say such polite words from the family. I'm very happy that you can come here today." Mrs. Ji was happy to see Ye Shuhua nervous Song Ruoxi and took her to heart. "You don't have to worry too much about what happened last night. Xi'er has already made a marriage with you. Even if the emperor wants to regret it, the empress dowager and the ministers will not agree. What's more, the emperor is not a foolish king now, and he will not ignore the country."
"What the old lady said is." Ye Shuhua Shen agreed. Emperor Fujian was very greedy in terms of women and even men's sex, but he was not stupid in military and national affairs. The State of Fujian became increasingly powerful in his hands.
"Don't worry, return to Yingcheng. Neither the old man nor me will let Xi'er get into trouble." Mrs. Ji said confidently.
"Old lady, I plan to keep four moat guards to protect my junior brother. Please agree." Ye Shuhua said.
Mrs. Ji's eyes flashed and she smiled and said, "You can reveal the emperor about leaving four moat guards to protect Xi'er."
Ye Shuhua's eyes lit up and she said, "I'll go to the palace now."
"Xi'er, let's see Shuhua." Mrs. Ji smiled.
"Senior Brother, I'll take you out." Song Ruoxi stood up and said without hesitation.
When sent to the second gate, eighteen iron guards guarded the carriage. Ye Shuhua said, "Zi Shi, Zi Wen, Zi Wu, you four are left to protect your junior brother."
The four strong bodies, who were obviously masters, had a black-clothed guards who came out of the line and saluted Ye Shuhua and said, "Subordinate to obey the order."
"Junior brother, I'm leaving."
"Senior brother, take care of yourself, the journey is smooth." On the day Ye Shuhua left Beijing, it was impossible for Song Ruoxi to leave the city. They would have to wait until the end of October to meet again.
Ye Shuhua looked at her deeply, "Junior brother, I'm waiting for you in Dengying City."
Song Ruoxi nodded, watched him leave quickly, turned left, and disappeared from the end of her sight.
That afternoon, Song Ruoxi returned to the Song family. Now the head of the Song family is Ouyang, and Song Ruoxi went to Meiyanyuan. Ouyang has always loved her and knew that the four of them were left by Ye Shuhua. After joking about her, she went to make arrangements in person, and the residence and the people who served her were very appropriate.
Song Ruoxi did not hide what happened at the dinner and told Ji Yun in detail.
Ji Yun was not worried after hearing this.
The next day, Chen Xin, the man who had been staying in Qingyuan for several months, left. The Fujian Emperor would express his friendly relations between the two countries and order all officials to send them to the outside of the city.
Looking at the carriage that was leaving, Ji Zhen breathed a little relieved and finally sent the plague god away.
In the afternoon, Zhou Siyi's invitation was delivered to the Song family, and she invited her to visit the house tomorrow to enjoy the tea and flowers.
Song Ruoxi frowned slightly with an invitation with orchid fragrance. It was an excuse to taste tea and enjoy flowers. She wanted to ask Chen Mo about it, how should she answer? Tell the truth? Or do she respond to the false?
The invitation could not be rejected, so Song Ruoxi followed the agreement.
Under the leadership of the palace maid, Song Ruoxi's master and servant walked around the veranda veranda, passed through the garden with chrysanthemum fragrance, and stayed outside a loft. There was a melodious sound of piano coming from the building, like a clear spring heading straight to the bottom of the valley, submerged in the deep pool, the smoke rising from the rise, igniting, under the moonlight, the moon hidden in the cold pond...
"Princess, Princess Yuxian is here!"
The sound of the piano stopped, and the lingering sound was lingering. Zhou Siyi's crisp voice came from the building, "Please come in with Sister Yuxian."
"Why don't my sister finish playing such a wonderful song?" Song Ruoxi asked while walking in.
"Sister wants to listen, I will play it with you later." Zhou Siyi smiled.
The two nannies and the female official in the room, before Song Ruoxi could drive them away, they tactfully retreated.
"Sister, why are your mouth hurt?" Zhou Siyi stared at Song Ruoxi's cherry lips with sharp eyes.
"I accidentally bit it through when eating." Song Ruoxi lied guiltily.
"Sister, what good food to eat? I'm so impatient?" Zhou Siyi asked casually.
Song Ruoxi smiled awkwardly and changed the topic, "You invite me to come and have a tea, where is this tea? You can't bring it over and let me taste it."
Zhou Siyi smiled and led her to the second floor to send the maid who was making tea away. The two sat opposite each other, carried a pot of tea and placed the tea cup in front of her, and smiled and said, "Sister, this is this year's tea before the rain. Do you like it if you taste the taste?"
Song Ruoxi picked up the teacup and took a sip. The clear fragrance lingers between his lips and teeth. "Good tea, sweet and refreshing."
"So what about this flower?" Zhou Siyi asked, pointing to a pot of blooming orchids placed on the flower table.
Song Ruoxi looked at it and smiled and said, "What a flower!"
Zhou Siyi's eyes flashed and she said, "This is what he asked his cousin to send it."
"What then?" Song Ruoxi sneered. Is Qin Shaowei asking Zhou Siyi to see the flowers and think of others? Is it useful to not cherish it when I am by his side, and I will regret it when I lose it.
Zhou Siyi's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly, "No, the marriage imperial edict has been issued, and he and I have nothing to do with marriage, men and women."
Song Ruoxi glanced at her, put down the teacup, got up, walked to the flower, and reached out to pinch the flower stem.
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Zhou Siyi asked nervously.
"The flowers bloom and must be broken, so don't wait until there are no flowers to break branches." Song Ruoxi broke the top-quality orchid and threw it out from the open wooden window.
Zhou Siyi looked out the window with her eyes deep, as if there was mist. For a moment, a smile appeared on her lips and said, "Sister, come here and have a tea!"
Song Ruoxi returned to her original position and sat cross-legged, and the two of them finished the cup of tea silently.
Zhou Siyi asked, "My sister asked rudely, did she know Dongbi Hou before?"
Song Ruoxi looked at the hollow teacup with his eyelids and said, "Dongbi Hou is my senior brother Jingxuan's nephew. We knew him in Jinglian Temple, and he also knew his senior brother."
"Oh, I understand!" Zhou Siyi suddenly realized.
"What do you understand?" Song Ruoxi looked up at Zhou Siyi. She hadn't said anything yet! How could she understand? Even smart can't be so smart!
"Young Master Ye City is not familiar with the love between men and women when reading Buddhist scriptures. You are very painful for this, so you were trapped by love during that period. When Dongbi knew that you were in love, he became a person who held the silk. Although this method was a bit shocking, it was important to be effective! Now that you have lovers finally got married, he is a person with a temperament." Zhou Siyi thought he was self-righteous.
Song Ruoxi's eyes suddenly turned dark, she lowered her eyelids, and gently wiped the edge of the cup with her slender fingers. During that period, she was indeed trapped by love, but for the person she was not Ye Shuhua, but Shangguan Moxun.
"Sister, don't be worried, you can get married smoothly." Zhou Siyi comforted her.
Song Ruoxi looked up at Zhou Siyi. Since she misunderstood, she changed her words, "Sister, for a woman, she naturally hopes to find a husband who is in love with each other, loves deeply, cherishes her, respects her, and stays with her for a lifetime, never leaving her, and stays with her until her white-headed one. However, although Dongbi Hou is a person with a temperament, he has a high position and a powerful position and has many confidants around him."
"Sister, the so-called love between two people, deep love, and the so-called life and one pair are all dreams made by ignorant girls in the boudoir. My grandfather and my father have countless women around me. Let's see how many men in this world only want to be monogamous until old age. As long as a man does not favor his concubine and destroy his wife and respect his wife, it is enough. I have had such a delusion towards Qin Shaowei, but I don't know how to treat Dongbi Hou. I am a couple who have achieved marriage. I will not ask for anything else, just respect each other as guests."
"My sister thinks so clearly, it's because I'm too worried."
"Sister and I'm just talking about this, and I'm also concerned about me." Zhou Siyi poured another cup of tea for Song Ruoxi and raised her, "Sister and drink tea."
On July 15, Ye Shuhua set off for the return of Chengying City. At dusk three days after leaving Qingyuan, he encountered his first robbery by a forest.
"Protect the young city lord!" The iron guard pulled out the sword to protect him.
Iron arrows slashed through the sky, shooting towards the carriage with cold light and a seductive roar. Although the iron guards swung their swords desperately, the iron arrows shot over and over again. The carriage with the Dengying City logo was shot into a hornet's nest. Those sitting inside had no chance of survival.
A group of men in black jumped out of the woods. After the sword light and sabers, the guards were disrupted and fled in panic, like a stray dog.
The man in black opened the car door, but found that the person lying in the car was a wooden man wearing Ye Shuhua's clothes. "I've been fooled, Ye Shuhua is not in the car!"
Chen Mo, who received this reward, did not give up and searched for the direction of Dengying City for half a month. He did not find Ye Shuhua's whereabouts. He knew that he had missed the possibility of robbing and killing him on the road. He issued another order to those who remained in Fujian to protect Princess Yuxian and kidnap her on the day she set off.
