Chapter 13 Reunion
The water of the Fen River is quiet, not as turbulent as the Yellow River. The merchants who were not interested in losing money even when they were in New Year's Eve came out to travel for the boat. The boatman and the porters went home for the New Year. The port was full of ships, but there was no one.
Before dawn, Song Yufu got up early. In the past, she was in the Imperial College, and it became a habit to get up early and light an oil lamp to prepare lessons. Now she has not changed. After washing up, she sat at the small desk at the window, holding a pen and circled it on the booklet.
As the rising sun rose, the morning light diluted the light, and Song Yufu closed the book and stood up to blow out the lights.
When we were together, we saw a noble young man in white clothes standing outside the river corridor, leaning against the river, holding the railing with both hands and looking at the river. From his back, he looked a little tired, and his waist and back were no longer as straight as the sword.
Mr. Xu?!
Song Yufu's eyes lit up. After she was sure that she hadn't seen the slightest part, her cheeks were a bit happy, and she didn't even leave the door. She trotted to the window and flipped directly over the waist-length window.
Xu Buling heard the movement, and his posture instantly returned to straightening. He stood with his hands behind his back, lonely and cold, looking at the mountains and rivers and sunrise, and said slowly:
"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, the sunset in the long river is round... Well, it's really round..."
Song Yufu struggled to flip out of the window, and jogged in front of her skirt. Her earrings were shaking, looking a little excited. Maybe she noticed her loss of composure. After hearing Xu Buling's voice, she quickly folded her hands on her waist and looked quiet and elegant. She walked to Xu Buling's back properly, bent over and bowed, and was as full as spring water:
"Mr. Xu?"
"Oh... Yufu, get up so early?"
Xu Buling turned around, Zhan Yan smiled, glanced up and down, and gently helped Song Yufu tighten her furry collar:
"It's cold outside, be careful of catching a cold."
Song Yufu's face turned slightly red, she raised her eyes and glanced at her lover who was close to her. After a month, she had a thousand words hidden in her heart. When she really met, she didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she nodded shyly:
"Well, I'm used to it...when did you come back?"
"Just just came back last night, you fell asleep and didn't bother you."
"Oh..." Song Yufu nodded, looked at Xu Buling's face carefully, and suddenly frowned slightly:
"Mr. Xu, why did your face turn white?"
“It’s frozen.”
"Why is it red again?"
“…”
Xu Buling coughed lightly, held Song Yufu's little hand, possessed her and came over to gagg.
Song Yufu's eyes were slightly flushed, her face turned red, and she turned her head away in a slight manner:
“There are many people here…”
After all, she still couldn't escape. Song Yufu's body stiffened. When she found that there was no one around, she stopped moving. She honestly put her toes on her toes and held her breath until she was almost suffocating. She gently patted Xu Buling's shoulder twice.
Xu Buling let go of his mouth, looked at Fu Bao with a smile, blushed as an apple, and raised his hand to pinch his face:
"Are you satisfied?"
Song Yufu was so embarrassed that she almost forgot what her surname was. She just wanted to ask why she recited "The Long River and the Sunset" early in the morning. She couldn't remember it at this time. She pursed her lips, turned around and ran into the boat building, and said, "You hate it so much~"
Xu Buling didn't catch up and continued to stand by the boat and breathe, regulating his breath.
In the early morning, the girls in each room got up one after another. Today is New Year's Eve. Yuenu and Qiao'e are reminding the maid to prepare meals. Doudou is already used to staying on the boat, but his stupid temperament has not changed. Seeing Song Yufu coming in, she hurried to her:
"Miss, the master is back... Hey, why did you come in from outside?"
Song Yufu curled the shyness on her face, acted like a well-educated and well-educated lady, and gave a gentle slogan:
"I'm shocked and suddenly, I'm back when I come back. Go and help cook."
"Oh..." Doudou scratched her head, puzzled: "Miss, aren't you tea and frying? Why aren't you excited when you come back?"
"What am I excited? Do you think I am a branch? By the way, what about a branch?"
"I wish both Miss and Mrs. Xiang'er get up late. The sun has not yet sunny, so she must have not gotten up. Miss Chuchu has gotten up..."
Song Yufu was delighted when she heard this. She had the best relationship with Chuchu, and she had become a best friend in Huainan. She naturally had to say hello when she came back.
After asking Doudou to go down to help, Song Yufu quickly walked towards Zhongli Chuchu's room. Unexpectedly, when she passed by a room, the door suddenly opened, and a woman in a water blue dress jumped out, panicked and almost hit her.
Song Yufu looked closely and saw that Zhongli Jiujiu came out of the room. She looked very strange, um...shamed? embarrassed? angry? uncomfortable? Anyway, she was mixed and couldn't tell what her expression was.
In addition, the walking posture is also a bit strange. He is carrying a small package on his shoulder, and he is posing as if he is going to travel far.
"Uh... Sister Zhongli, you?"
When Zhongli Jiujiu went out to see Song Yufu, her face froze. She wanted to retreat to the room, but she felt it was not suitable. She could only quickly calm down her grief and anger and said with a smile:
"Miss Song is early, um...what coincidence..."
What a coincidence?
Song Yufu felt inexplicably and glanced up and down: "You...you came back last night and were about to go on a long trip?"
Zhongli Jiujiu looked at the small package on her shoulder, and her eyes showed a look that was hard to describe.
Last night, she fell into Ning Yuhe's trap and was dragged into Xiang'er's room. She was not used to her husband. She pretended to be stupid and would not offend anyone or protect her.
Zhongli Jiujiu was still very conservative in her heart. She had never seen such embarrassing situations. She was not prepared at all, so she took it clean and pressed it on the bedding.
Seeing that she could not escape, she was not a shy woman. She lost no matter how much she lost. Anyway, they were all Xu Buling's women. Even Ning Yuhe dared to be so bold. What was she afraid of? Let's go together!
But she is still too young and underestimates the sinisterness of people's hearts.
Originally, she wanted to let go and was jealous of Ning Yuhe. However, Ning Yuhe was extraordinary and fearful that Xu Buling would neglect her, so she helped her press her hand and said:
"Ling'er, you didn't eat? Jiujiu is so sarcastic that she can stand it..."
Lost your conscience! Why am I so naughty?
Zhongli Jiujiu was so angry that she was almost stunned. She rolled her eyes and was dizzy. She was covered by Xiao Xianger's mouth to avoid sounds. She couldn't even shout out words of begging for mercy, and she didn't know how to survive.
It's okay, but in the end, Ning Yuhe and Xiao Xianger found that she had not yet "taken another way" and suddenly felt unfair. Then they fanned the flames and ignited the fire. Xu Buling the conscience...
Zhongli Jiujiu had a weird expression and still felt a little uncomfortable behind her, but how could she dare to tell outsiders about this kind of thing? Xu Buling just came to coax her in the morning. She couldn't feel wronged and ran away from home, and she also wanted to scare Xu Buling.
Seeing Song Yufu's strange eyes, Zhongli Jiujiu looked a little embarrassed and smiled:
"I'm not going far away, um... I just prepared some medicine and took it to Xu Buling to see it. There are more, so I put it in a package."
“Yes…”
Song Yufu was half-believing and half-doubted, but she was not very familiar with Zhongli Jiujiu, so she didn't ask the truth. After nodding slightly, she continued to walk in.
Not far away, I saw Ning Yuhe's room door open. Ning Yuhe, wearing a white long skirt, was sitting in front of the dressing table to comb her hair, humming a little song "Hmm~~~", looking very good, even a little fluttering.
Song Yufu blinked and glanced at the door in confusion, and was discovered by Ning Yuhe.
Ning Yuhe quickly stopped humming, her face returned to her former gentleness and quietness. She turned around and said softly:
"Miss Song, get up so early?"
"Yes, Master Ning is already."
Song Yufu was a little suspicious, thinking that both of them were strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she walked over directly.
When he came to Chuchu's room, Chuchu was not staying in the room. There was a little noise from the distance. He looked up and saw that outside Xiao Xianger's room at the stern, Zhongli Chuchu and Ning Qingye stood together, whispering something. In the room, Xiao Qi's cold voice was faintly heard:
"Damn Xiang'er, get up! Today I don't teach you what elders and nobles mean, you still have to put your wings into the sky..."
"What's wrong with me? Why are you so angry? Did I mess with you?"
"you--"
"What are you talking about, staring at me?"
...
Song Yufu shrank her neck slightly, knowing that the two sisters were starting to fight again.
These days, Xiao Xiang'er has been trying hard on the boat, and Xiao Qi is a "scholar who meets soldiers, and it's hard to explain." The bullied often chases Xiao Xiang'er with a ruler, and then Lu Hongluan runs to fight. The three of them are crazyer than her and Manzhi.
As a young man, Song Yufu was embarrassed to run in and kick the fight, so she came to Lu Hongluan's door and said softly:
"Mrs. Lu, Sister Xiang'er and Miss Xiao are arguing again. Go and persuade me."
Lu Hongluan was tidying up the new robe that Xu Buling wore during the New Year in the house, and didn't care at all when he heard the sound:
"Don't worry about them, they are both old and not young, but they don't understand the rules. What's the point of quarrel during the New Year... Yufu, go and see if Ling'er gets up, let him come over and try his clothes."
"Oh OK, Mr. Xu is up, I'll call him over..."
