When we left Prince Yu's Mansion, it was the busy time of the ghost market. When we came out of the alley, we saw white gauze lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, and the cries of vendors came and went, just like in the daytime. Latest novels/They didn't ride horses or sedans. The two of them walked back. Rong Shi said he wanted to eat fried liver, and Song Yin went to a small stall. Seeing that the cook was good with a spoon, he threw in a few coins and asked him to fry a portion now, and then he chose a place to sit down quietly.
"The food here is definitely not that authentic. Don't be dissatisfied. Let's just make do with it. I can't walk today. I'll treat you to a banquet in Xianju in two days." She took out her small fan and shook it gently. It rained a lot. , it's not as hot as before, and I can faintly smell the fireworks in the market, which is more comfortable than being in Qiluodui.
He put his hands on the table and built a small shack, with his face on the top of the shack, shining brightly. He asked her, "Just now you said you wanted to investigate for Prince Yu. Tell me."
She turned away and said, "It's not good for me to be so inquisitive."
He said no, "I care about you, and I'm afraid that he will force you again based on his status. If anything happens, you must tell me and we will find a solution together."
Songyin looked at him and said softly: "Why are you so kind to me? What will I do if I can't repay you later?"
He didn¡¯t take it seriously, ¡°You can pledge yourself to me.¡±
He said that he was not being serious. Songyin gave him a fierce look, "I don't care if you and I talk openly. Don't go back and make nonsense in front of the old lady."
He immediately said that he knew, "I know how to please old ladies and madams, don't worry about that. But I'm very happy that you can bear with me. There is a saying that with arms folded in sleeves, since we are in the same group, there is no difference." You and I."
He is so good at getting close to each other, maybe that¡¯s why he endears himself to older people! Songyin had been in contact with him a few times, and had become accustomed to his way of speaking, so she didn't take it seriously. When the fried liver was served, the two of them took out their chopsticks, each poured a cup of tea, and drank it slowly instead of wine. She didn't intend to hide it from him. She didn't know why, but she was willing to talk to him about what she had encountered. Now he is probably the only person after Amma who can listen to her true feelings.
"When I went to the palace in the morning, he was fishing. He mentioned that no one was in charge of things at home, so I asked him why he didn't marry a Fujin. I had this idea. If he had someone to take care of him, I think it would be good for me. The good thing is, at least you don¡¯t have to call me in every wedding. He didn¡¯t take it seriously at first, but then he suddenly figured it out and asked me which girl was the best. Maybe he could find the right girl and go back to the Queen Mother and ask the Emperor to propose marriage. [See Please read the latest chapter of this book]" She stroked the cup boredly and added, "I was so happy at the time that I told him everything I could think of. I saw that he didn't seem shocked at all, and planned to go back to the palace tomorrow. Go and have a good look around."
Rong Shi frowned, "That's it? Nothing more?"
Songyin suppressed her blush, lowered her eyes and said: "How can I be so cheap? He said that I will not be allowed to have a family within two years. When I turn twenty, he will ask me to be his wife."
Rong Shi thumped the table, shaking the plates and bowls on the table, "What is he still thinking about? If we are not allowed to get married within two years, then he dares to keep the matchmaking, and is he not afraid that I will make an appointment and marry someone right away?"
Because he was angry, his voice was a little loud, causing other diners to look around blankly. Songyin hurriedly pressed her hands to restrain him, "Don't yell so loudly that no one can hear you! A lot has happened in the past two years. Who knows what will happen then. Even if he wants to accept me, it still depends on whether I am willing. Woolen cloth."
He looked aggrieved and angry. When he was aggrieved to a certain extent, his eyes sparkled, and he said, "Sister, you won't go with him, right? You have to promise me to give me reassurance."
Songyin gave him a strange look, "Of course I won't follow him, but why should I give you a guarantee?"
"Because I'm just the head guard, my status is not as good as his, and my arms can't twist the thighs." He pursed his lips, looking very pitiful, "If you promise me, then I won't have anything to worry about, and you will follow me."
She became embarrassed and hurriedly covered her face with a cup, "I don't have to follow him, and I don't have to follow you. I've told you eight hundred times when your stinky problem will be cured."
He pretended to be deaf and mute, holding fried liver in his mouth and said: "I didn't hear it, and it's all in vain if you say it. Anyway, our old lady asked me several times, saying it's time to prepare the betrothal gift, and when to go to Tong's house to propose marriage, I always said Come on, let me have sex with Yinzi again. If you change your mind midway, you are being unkind."
She was dumbfounded, "What have I promised you so long ago? Didn't I make it clear to you? We don't count this time."
"Then I don't care. If you just stay with me and don't marry me, I'll come back to your grandma and accuse you of bullying me."
Songyin was rendered speechless by him. Is this person planning to cheat to the end? She felt that she should explain it to him again, butAfter thinking for a long time, he gave up. Doesn't someone as smart as him really understand? He is just pretending to be stupid and intentionally messing around.
She didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him anymore. After eating two pieces of liver, she found it too sweet and put down her chopsticks. He didn't like it very much, so he stood up and said let's go, "It's getting late, I'll take you home."
He usually talks a lot, but today he was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and made Songyin very nervous. A halo of light from the lantern circle illuminated his face, and he frowned slightly, feeling a little depressed. She couldn't hold it back and asked him cautiously, "What's wrong with you?"
He raised his head and was filled with emotion, "This is the first time I have interacted with a girl, and I am very serious. But it's like a person who knows that his life has been bumpy after landing, how can he still be in the mood? I'm saddon't worry about me, I can hold on. It will take a year at most and I will get better."
It actually takes a year? When he said this, he felt guilty and began to reflect on whether he had gone too far and played with other people's feelings. But it was agreed at the beginning that no one should take it seriously, so why is he thinking about it again?
She hesitated, rubbed her handkerchief and said, "You can't blame me" She wanted to promise to find him another one, but when the words reached the tip of her tongue, she couldn't bear to say them, so she swallowed them back.
He nodded, "I can't blame you, I blame myself. In fact, I didn't have anything to do with it before, but when I heard that he was marrying Fujin and grabbing you at the same time, I felt it was too unfair. How could there be such a thing in the world for you? He was asked to look for a candidate and asked you to wait. After a year, he would bring you into the house through a side door and serve as his side room. Fortunately, he could talk! You are in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you follow him, you will definitely give up your errands. How is it different from an ordinary, ignorant woman who stretches her neck to look forward to him every day? Do you know what is most valuable about you? It¡¯s this strength that no one can control! If he wears it out, you won¡¯t be the same person. You are all ruined."
Songyin was quite touched. She didn¡¯t expect such an unconventional man to be able to see such profound things. Although he was pretending to be pitiful just to win her sympathy, these last few words made her see that he at least respected her. For a woman to live well, having good food and clothing is not everything. These things cannot be compared with being respected. Men will take you seriously only if they value your abilities and character. If it is just out of temporary curiosity, it loses its novelty and is discarded like worn out shoes, then it will be ruined and it will be too late to regret, as he said.
She stopped and turned around to face him, "I fully understand what you mean. Thank you for showing your support to me. Don't worry, I have my own opinions and I made it clear to him that the Tong family's aunt is not a concubine. I know what he did. Not to this point, so there is no rush at all. Besides, we can¡¯t underestimate this man. His ambition is not to marry several concubines. He is a person who does big things, how can he be hindered by such a small love? His hands and feet are gone."
Rong Shi thought about it carefully and suddenly became energetic, "Do you have this rule in the Tong family? Do you want your daughter to be a concubine? Then I am suitable. Not only do I not have a main wife, I don't even have a connecting room."
He kept trying to seduce himself, and he really put his heart to use. Songyin was a little embarrassed, "We'll talk about this later, let's not discuss it now, okay?"
Rong Shi is a little confused, so that means he is very hopeful, right? Originally, with his talent and appearance
He bit his lip, feeling extremely excited and shy. Songyin glanced at him, lowered his head, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips. The two of them just stood facing each other stupidly, at a loss.
Her mind was in a trance, and now she felt that he was very kind, responsible, and attentive. He was so calm when facing Prince Yu, like a mountain, making her feel that she could rely on him. Girls are girls, and when they are vulnerable and unable to bear the burden, someone needs to stand up and be willing to stand up for her. One day Ama will grow old. If Ama is not here and she has no one to rely on when trouble comes, what will she do then?
She looked at his draped knee pads and realized that he had come to pick her up without even changing her clothes. She was really touched. Let's find something to say, she thought for a moment, "Has the arrangements for the Emperor's tour been made?"
He hummed, "Everyone has been assigned level by level. It's very safe."
She nodded, "It should be my Amma's bodyguard who goes to Xishan, and I have to stay in the palace. You should be careful in everything, and you can't afford it if something goes wrong. I'd rather be more tired, and take care of everything, so as not to neglect anything." "
He said he understood and felt surprised. It turned out to be a very happy thing when a woman warned you like this.
I stopped talking nonsense and stayed silent for a while, which was really embarrassing. They looked at each other and smiled, then quickly looked away. Buyer Hutong is getting closer. It used to look like a featureless place, but today it is full of poetry and beauty. Every brick and door pillar looks lively and lovely. But the road was too short, I was rubbing my feet, I wanted to go slower, but I still reached the door. Having to separate, he watched her go up the steps and called her, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."She pursed her lips and smiled, "Maozheng is about to enter the palace, you have to get up early. No need, you can always see me walking around. I won't invite you in, go home quickly, I haven't even eaten dinner. .¡±
He stood at the foot of the steps with his hands behind his hands, squinting slightly, "You go in, I'll watch."
When he calmed down and stopped talking all the time, he had a kind of restraint and dignity that she had never noticed before. She hesitated for a moment, and for a moment she had the illusion that she didn't quite recognize him. The nun at the door had already come out, greeted Rong Shi, and took the girl inside.
She crossed the threshold, still worried in her heart, and looked back to see him standing in a blur of light and shadow, just like when he first met him, he was an unparalleled young master
