Qin Se Luan Feng

Two butterflies flutter among the bushes, sometimes stopping on the stamens to collect dew.Yong Wei stared blankly at the pair of colorful butterflies, her carefree appearance was very endearing.The butterfly flapped its wings and flew away from the flowers.

"Don't go!" Yong Wei ran after the butterfly.

The door to the backyard was ajar, and butterflies flew out of the small courtyard through the gap between the two doors.Yong Wei opened the small door of the backyard, and followed closely the butterflies that flew out of the small courtyard.She stumbled and fell to the ground, which made her cry out loud.

"Yongwei don't cry, come on, get up quickly." A pair of gentle hands picked her up from the ground, and then gently wiped away her tears. Through the tears, a familiar face appeared in front of her eyes: "Er Niang , woo... Er Niang is back again." Yong Wei cried and laughed, rubbing Ruo Xin's neck with her hands, making her itchy.

Ruoxin was amused by Yongwei's appearance, and asked, "Why did Yongwei run out alone?"

"Emother..."

Yong Wei kept calling Er Niang, Ruo Xin couldn't help asking her: "Where's Ama?" This question can't help but feel a little ambiguous, A Ma, Er Niang, Ruo Xin blushed, secretly reprimanded, " What am I talking about?"

"Ama is in the study." Yong Wei desperately rubbed her face, "Emiang, let's go back."

"Yongwei, listen to me, I'm not..."

"Ouch, my little miss, why did you run outside, you're going to die of anxiety, master." The old lady rushed out from the back door, hugged Yongwei vigorously, and started chattering.

Yong Wei twisted her body, stretched out her hand and said, "Emiang, we're going back."

The old lady pressed down her hand, turned around and hurriedly took Yong Wei back to the backyard. Before the door of the backyard closed, Yongwei struggled and shouted: "Er Niang is here too."

With tears in Ruoxin's eyes, she waved to Yongwei with a smile.

Yongwei started to cry when she couldn't see Ruoxin, and the maid in the mansion tried to comfort her for a long time, but she still couldn't stop her.Nalan Mingzhu pointed at the crowd sullenly: "From today on, we will never let the young miss go to the backyard, let alone leave Nalan mansion without authorization."

Seeing Nalan Mingzhu's angry eyes, Yong Wei cried louder.Rong Ruo came down from the attic, gave Nalan Mingzhu a family salute, then pulled Yongwei over, and said to Nalan Mingzhu nonchalantly: "Yongwei is ignorant, it's because Rong Ruo didn't take good care of her, don't bother Ama .”

Nalan Mingzhu was so angry that she blew her beard, snorted, and flung her sleeves into the front hall.

Yong Wei finally stopped crying, her tearful eyes looked pitiful, she pulled Rong Ruo's skirt and said, "Ama, I want my mother."

"Yongwei is obedient, when Yongwei grows up, Erniang will come back."

"I want it now." Yong Wei said with a twitch.

Rong Ruo nodded, knelt down and hugged her tightly in front of her chest, said distressedly: "Ama will give Yongwei a mother."

Every time she thinks of Yong Wei's little face crying so hard, Ruo Xin can't help feeling sorry for her.When she was free, Ruoxin would sit at the door of the clinic, only hoping that that little figure would appear again.

"Doctor, my dad has been coughing a lot these days, can you take my dad's pulse?" The two stood in front of Ruo Xin, Ruo Xin immediately came back to her senses, smiled and helped the old man, and said softly, " Come with me to check your pulse."

After diagnosing the pulse and prescribing a prescription, Ruoxin handed the prescription to Chuyou, and ordered: "Take four medicines according to the above."

While talking, the sound of gongs and drums outside the medical hall attracted many spectators, and Ruoxin couldn't help but look outside the medical hall.A red wedding sedan chair was carried into the back gate of Nalan Mansion.

"This concubine in Nalan Mansion is really lucky, such a grand wedding sedan chair is worth being a concubine." Chuyou said with a smile.

"Who is taking the concubine?" Ruoxin turned her head abruptly.

Chu You was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "The sedan chair entered the Nalan Mansion, so it is naturally the son of the Nalan family, so it could be Master Nalan."

The wedding sedan chair was steadily carried through the door, Ruoxin looked straight at the wedding sedan chair, and murmured: "Concubine, did he take a concubine?"

There are many guests in Nalan Mansion, and Nalan Mingzhu warmly greets every guest with a smiling face.Whenever an official family marries a wife and accepts a concubine, it is also a time to form a clique.Rong Ruo was tired of such noise, and after coping with it, he took Yong Wei out of the front hall.

"Congratulations, Mr. Nalan, congratulations, Mr. Nalan." There were constant congratulations in the front hall, Rong Ruo twitched the corners of his mouth, and led Yong Wei across the threshold.

Yong Wei raised her head and asked, "Ama, is the bride beautiful?"

"It's the new aunt, not the aunt." Rong Ruo said casually to the ghost, picked her up, and said with a smile, "Let's go, learn calligraphy with Ama."

"Yeah." Yong Wei lay on Rong Ruo's shoulder, staring at Nalan Kuixu who was dressed as a groom in the front hall with a pair of bright eyes, ignorant and curious.

After autumn, it was the beginning of November, and it was also the day when Rong Ruo was appointed to serve in Qianqing Palace.Rong Ruo knelt down on one knee and respectfully bowed to pay respects: "Chen Nalan Rongruo respectfully greets Sheng An."

There was a smile on the corner of Xuan Ye's mouth, he didn't order him to get up, and asked: "Have you accepted the wedding invitation sent by the consultant?"

This is not asking knowingly, Rong Ruo replied lightly: "Return to the emperor, yes."

"Aren't you going to ask me?"

Rong Ruo bowed his head and said: "The emperor is not trustworthy, Rong Ruo has already knelt down and begged the emperor, if the emperor is willing to take back the imperial decree, why should Rong Ruo ask again today."

Xuan Ye seemed to have expected Rong Ruo's answer, he was not annoyed, instead he smiled and said: "Haha, if you dare to be so disrespectful to me, I'm afraid you Nalan Rongruo should be No.1. But you are really right , I have indeed acted as a person who did not believe what I said this time."

Rong Ruo raised her head abruptly, full of puzzlement.Realizing that such a move was too impolite, he lowered his head again.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rong Ruo got up and said, "I'm stupid, please let me know."

Xuan Ye laughed a few times, and said: "You are not ignorant, but if you care about it, you will be chaotic. It is true that the side Fujin I pointed out to Prince Yu is 'Miss Zhang', but there is not only a Miss Zhang in this world. There is not only one Zhang Haikuan."

Rong Ruo's eyes lit up, and he bowed his head without saying a word.Xuan Ye said again: "I have worked so hard for you Nalan Rongruo. I might as well tell you that a few days ago, you Amanalan Mingzhu went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to ask your ancestors to marry you."

"Marriage?"

"Originally, the ancestors discussed with me and said that they wanted to point out the eight princesses to you. But then I stopped them. The eight princesses are very unruly. Hehe, it seems that Nalan Kuifang will not have a safe life in the future."

Rong Ruo was moved by it, knelt down and said: "I thank the lord for your kindness, I have just been rude in front of the emperor, I hope the emperor will punish me."

"Hehe, the punishment will be avoided. I want you to swear in front of the imperial court that you will definitely participate in the scientific examination three years later." Xuan Ye put on a serious face.

"The minister will not disgrace the emperor's order!"

"However, since you failed to participate in this year's scientific examination, then my intention to marry must be withheld, and I will not interfere with the matter between you and that girl Zhang. But if you can pass the scientific examination three years later , I will give you a big gift."

Rong Ruo cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You don't need to thank me, this is what you deserve. When you went to Jinan to investigate Cai Yanwen's case, although there was no result, I should reward you. It's just that you have to go through the Amana pass by yourself .”

Rong Ruo lowered his head and stared at the blue bricks on the ground, his brows became tighter and tighter, as if lost in thought.

When leaving the palace, there were a few dark clouds floating in the sky, and a rain was coming.Rong Ruo had always been used to walking when entering the palace, and he didn't like to bring entourage with him.It was only time for a cup of tea, the clouds gathered more and more, and then the rain fell.

Rong Ruo quickened his pace, the rain seemed to be against him, it was sporadic just now, and suddenly began to pour down.Seeing that he couldn't hide, Rong Ruo dodged sideways into a nearby temple.Inadvertently raised his head, unexpectedly found that Ruoxin appeared in his line of sight.

"These herbs are boiled in boiling water, and a few slices of ginger are thrown into the pot. After filtering out the dregs, they are taken by the monks. After taking three pastes in a row, if they are still not cured, I will send some more herbs over."

"Amitabha, thank you for your generous gift of medicine."

Ruo Xin smiled and said: "Abbot, you don't need to say thank you. Abbot, go and do your own work. I'll leave after the rain is over."

"Benefactor, please help yourself." The abbot clasped his hands together and nodded, before entering the Buddhist hall.

Ruoxin can't be called beautiful, at most she can only be regarded as delicate, but at this moment she looks so moving.Through the rain curtain, Rong Ruo watched her quietly, not even noticing the raindrops on her body.

"Could it be that you plan to stand like this all the time?" Ruoxin said to Rong Ruo through the rain curtain.

Only then did Rong Ruo realize that he was standing in the rain, he hesitated a little, and walked towards Ruo Xin. "You're here too." Rong Ruo didn't know what to say for a while.

"Go inside, you are blocking people's way." Ruoxin entered the Buddhist hall with a half-smile.

Rong Ruo stepped over the threshold, and there were only a few people hiding from the rain in the Buddhist hall.Ruoxin's voice was like a mosquito: "Congratulations."

"Congratulations?" Rong Ruo looked down at his bodyguard attire, and smiled, "Oh, I appreciate it. It's the first day I entered the palace to work, but I didn't expect to encounter heavy rain." He raised his sleeves and sucked his cheeks on the rain.

Ruoxin was taken aback, a little confused, she said with a dry smile, "Yes, it's raining heavily outside."

After that, the two were silent for a while.They all looked outside the Buddhist hall, and the rain was pattering, and they suddenly remembered the scene of hiding from the rain in the cave that day.

"It's been ten years, and I don't know if he still remembers me."

"Not all people value love and righteousness like the young master. Maybe he has looked for me, but after so many years, things are different, who can say for sure. What's more, there is no relationship between me and him. all the way.

……

Thinking of what Ruoxin said, her heart felt sore, Rong Ruo turned her head and said, "I...in fact..." Ruoxin smiled lightly, with a bit of expectation in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Rong Ruo said sincerely.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, it's all in the past." Ruoxin reached out to feel the rain flowers outside, and the rain had stopped, she smiled, "The rain has stopped, let's go."

Rong Ruo spread out his palms and said, "Please go ahead, I'll find a dear friend nearby."

Ruoxin didn't say much, walked to the door of the Buddhist hall, picked up the umbrella on the ground, handed it to Rong Ruo and said, "It will inevitably rain again later, you take this umbrella."

Rong Ruo didn't refuse, took the umbrella in a daze, nodded and said, "Go."

"Farewell." Ruoxin smiled at him, and walked away alone.

"Wait, how should I return this umbrella to you?"

"You'll know when you leave the backyard of Nalan Mansion." Ruoxin said with her back to Rong Ruo, secretly pleased, he called herself "you" instead of "girl".

The rain had just stopped, and after a while, the sky seemed to be cracked again, and the torrential rain poured down.Rong Ruo subconsciously opened her umbrella and chased after him, wandering around the gate of the temple, Ruo Xin had already left.

Under the low eaves of the street corners and alleys, there are people sheltering from the rain standing in darkness.Ruoxin clasped her arms tightly in front of her chest, shivering from time to time.

An old lady next to her said: "Your cousin and niece can be regarded as raised eyebrows. She married the son of Nalan's family. Of course, there is nothing to say about the blessing."

Another person spat: "It's just a concubine, and to put it bluntly, it's not much better than a maid."

Ruo Xin's heart twitched, the son of the Nalan family, the concubine, couldn't help but think of the sedan chair that was carried into the backyard that day.The old woman said again: "That's true, not to mention that the second young master of the Nalan family is very flirtatious, once this novelty wears off, he might just throw it aside."

"That's right, if you can marry the eldest son of the Nalan family, it would be great. This character, appearance, and talent are all one in a hundred." Speaking of this, the faces of the two people were full of envy.

Ruo Xin questioned: "Excuse me, is the eldest son of the Nalan family the famous Nalan Xingde son in the capital?"

"No."

As if suddenly enlightened, Ruoxin laughed to herself, congratulating her just now, no wonder Rong Ruo was so dazed.
