Chapter 159 Send away the little boy
"I really want to bear that horse?" Young Master Jinlan said softly, hugging Rouxin, who was sitting on the roof.
"What a good horse!" Rouxin raised her head and looked at the road to the west.
"When the autumn next year, I will ask someone to get you the same one from the border!" Young Master Jinlan's face showed a confident look. But when he looked up, a surprised look appeared in his eyes.
The white horse ran back to the horse farm. It ran five or six laps on the horse farm before slowly stopping.
Rouxin suddenly stood up, flew over several roofs and headed straight for the horse farm. Gongzi Jinlan got up and followed him.
Rouxin flew to the ground, crossed the railings of the horse and came to the side of the horse.
The white horse raised its head and neighed, then lowered its head and let Rouxin caress it. Young Master Jinlan stood outside the fence and looked at Rouxin and the wild horse. The expression on his face was strange and he felt very uncomfortable.
Rouxin led the horse to the stable. The horse seemed a little tired. Rouxin added materials to it before walking out of the horse farm.
"This horse is too wild! How about we change another one?" Gongzi Jinlan looked at Rou who was walking over and said to her heart.
"Young Master wants to change me too!" Young Master Jinlan was angry and unwilling to accept Rou Xin's words.
"Then let's keep it in the horse farm first!" Gongzi Jinlan said coldly.
How dare Rouxin say no? Maybe he angered him, and it is not impossible to kill the innocent horse.
Mingyue asked someone to hold a banquet in the living room. Young Master Jinlan and Mingyue drank wine together.
Rouxin, who stood behind Gongzi Jinlan, learned about their relationship through their words.
Mingyue is the second son of Zhuanrui, the Minister of Rites. He is active by nature and is very naughty when he was young. Zhuanrui sent him to the home of a martial hermit in Shi'an County far away from the capital to study martial arts.
The fourteen-year-old Mingyue returned to Beijing to receive the coming-of-age gift accompanied by her senior brother Qingfeng.
Because of the long journey, Mingyue was infected with wind and cold on the road. She was about to miss the date of returning to Beijing. Qingfeng was very impatient. When he went out, he bumped into the young master Jinlan who lived in the same inn.
The two of them fought with each other in disagreement. Mingyue dragged her sick body out to persuade her. Qingfeng saw that Mingyue, who could not catch a cold, came out. He turned around and ran towards Mingyue.
Young Master Jinlan couldn't hold back, which hurt Qingfeng. Mingyue's illness worsened.
Qingfeng asked Gongzi Jinlan to argue with him. Gongzi Jinlan tied Qingfeng and took Mingyue to the capital in a carriage.
Mingyue got better under the conditioning of Doctor Tang in the capital. However, Qingfeng was locked in the dungeon of his new mansion by Prince Jinlan.
Zhuanrui, the Minister of Rites, was grateful to Yu Gongzi Jinlan for his help, so he organized the coming-of-age ceremony for the two.
The two became sworn brothers because of this. Qingfeng was also released from the dungeon by Gongzi Jinlan. Qingfeng held a grudge against Gongzi Jinlan for many days, so he returned to the master's sect alone.
Mingyue was left in the capital by his father. However, he had no intention of his career, so he stayed in the city to buy a horse farm to raise horses.
"It's impossible for him to raise horses all his life!" Rouxin prepared the bed for Gongzi Jinlan.
"Do you really think he is raising horses! He is raising energy?" Young Master Jinlan was slightly drunk and said too much.
"Young Master is joking!" Rou Xin helped Young Master Jinlan to bed.
"I don't believe it! Go and look at his study! The bookshelf there are full of military books, national policies, and those border defense maps..." Gongzi Jinlan fell asleep on the bed.
Who said that the children of the gentry were all embroidered pillows? Some of them just hid themselves too well! Rouxin sighed at the bright full moon outside the window.
As the end of the year approaches, Young Master Jinlan, with Rouxin and Feng Yan, bid farewell to his friend Mingyue and returned home.
When Tuan saw that Rouxin was not in the study, he told Gongzi Jinlan that everything had been arranged.
Gao Yue only carried out renovations in the prefectural palace, but didn't know anything else. Rouxin didn't care about these things. It is common for wealthy families to repair their houses every year.
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, snow fell and the temperature dropped sharply. Young Master Jinlan, who had never been afraid of the cold, also ordered people to add charcoal basins to the house.
"Young Master! The second prince's invitation!" Tuan personally delivered the invitation and brought the gift list.
"Rouxin! Go and bring the young master!" Young Master Jinlan ordered.
"Yes!" Rouxin left the study door and went to Yang Yaxian's yard.
"Have you arranged it all?" Gongzi Jinlan asked with his hands lit up several cases.
"As appropriate!" Tuan replied in a low voice.
"I guess I'll get an invitation over there! Come with my piano!" Gongzi Jinlan ordered.
Rouxin hugged the young master and heard the sound of the piano in the study from afar. The sound was far and low, making people feel excited.
"Aunt! Why don't we go in?" The young man was wearing a red coat, but he still felt that it was not warm.
Rou couldn't bear to see the young master froze, so he carried him into the study.
The sound of the piano gradually soothed, making people feel very comfortable when they heard it. Rouxin sat down next to the charcoal basin and poured him a cup of tea.
At this time, the piano sounded high and fierce, like a galloping sword and an iron horse, and then it stopped abruptly.
"Tuan! From now on, the young master is raised by the old man in the Ji family! Go!" Young master Jinlan pressed his hands on the strings of the piano, closed his eyes slightly and said softly.
"Miss Rouxin! I'm still worried about you accompanying you!" Tuan turned around and looked at Rouxin.
Rouxin was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask why? But she knew she shouldn't ask, so she picked up the young master and went there.
Ji's mansion is still in strict access control. Tuan was able to enter the mansion after handing over the sign.
Rouxin and Tuan waited in the front hall for a long time before Mr. Ji's servant came out to call them in.
Mr. Ji was naturally extremely happy when he saw the young master. Tuan conveyed the meaning of Mr. Jinlan.
"Be careful!" Mr. Ji said just one sentence.
The young master had a good time in Mr. Ji's arms, so Tuan was about to go back.
Rouxin turned around and saluted and wanted to go home with Tuan. The young master saw Rouxin leaving him and leaving alone. He pursed his lips and cried loudly.
"Young Master told me that if you can't live without you, you can stay." Tuan said with a firm foothold.
"I'll be with the young master!" Rouxin made up her mind to walk out of the door.
"Come back!" the old man shouted in a hoarse voice. Rouxin paused and had to turn back. Tuan stood outside the door.
Seeing that Rouxin was back, the young master broke away from the old man's arms and threw himself into Rouxin's arms. Mr. Ji started to cough.
"Jinyan! Your father needs me, do you understand?" Rouxin wiped the young master's tears.
"I want you too!" the young master sobbed.
"The old man can protect you well! He is your closest person." Rouxin coaxed the young master in a low voice.
"You don't want me anymore, right?" The young master grabbed Rouxin's hand pitifully with red eyes.
"No! We will always be your closest person!" Rouxin's tears were about to fall.
"Come here!" The old man took a sip of tea and stopped coughing.
The young master turned around and ran to the old man and buried his head. The old man looked up at Rouxin who was kneeling on the ground and slowly said, "Isn't it good to stay in the mansion for peace?"
"I am willing to share my worries for my master! I will die without regrets!" Rouxin leaned over and kowtowed.
"Go!" Mr. Ji picked up the young master.
Rouxin walked out of the door and saw Tuan, stunned for a moment. Tuan glanced at Rouxin meaningfully, and then left without saying a word.
Rouxin followed Tuan out of Ji's mansion and got on the carriage. Tuan sat next to the coachman.
"She doesn't want to stay?" asked the coachman in a low voice.
"Yes!" Tuan closed his robe sleeves.
