When Wei Luo woke up the next day, there was no one around her.
After eating breakfast, Wei Luo took the light yellow ground enamel bowl with colorful orchid and stone patterns from Jin Lu, and rinsed his mouth with Longjing tea with mint leaves, looking a little bewildered. Did Zhao Jie really come here yesterday? Or was it just a dream she had
Wei Luo was too sleepy yesterday, she only remembered that Zhao Jie carried her up to the roof, and after that she had no memory. She turned her head and took a look at Ba Bu's bed, beside the bed was the magnolia-colored thin blouse she just changed, and it was Zhao Jie who put it on for her. It seems that it is not a dream, Zhao Jie has indeed been here, but I don't know when he left, and whether he is still in the villa at the moment...
Wei Luo was a little absent-minded, Jin Lu called her, and she came back to her senses, blinking her eyes and asked, "Jin Lu, you walked in front of me early in the morning, do you have anything to say?"
Jin Lu nodded, "Miss, today is the first day that Dr. Fu treated the young master's leg injury. The wives in the other rooms have gone to offer condolences. Would you like to visit too?"
Wei Luo thought for a while, "It's fine to go and have a look, you go and call Yu Rong as well."
The golden hazel answered yes.
Wei Luo went back to the house and changed into a garnet red ganoderma pattern Wu Luo mattress, and a moon white gauze skirt underneath. It was too cold outside, and she wore a red satin cloak trimmed with fox fur. She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and had just put on a pair of turquoise earrings when Liang Yurong followed behind the golden strands.
Liang Yurong was more afraid of the cold than Wei Luo. She was wearing a scorched moonlight hibiscus-patterned jacket and a one-piece pleated skirt, not to mention a cloak, wearing a mink Zhaojun lying rabbit on her head, and holding a copper A small hand stove, wrapped tightly all over her body, for fear that others would not know that she was cold. Seeing her outfit, Wei Luo couldn't help laughing and said, "Those who didn't know thought you were going to Changbai Mountain for the winter."
Changbai Mountain is an extremely cold place. In winter, the mountains are covered with heavy snow and the sky is freezing. It is impossible for ordinary people to survive there. When Wei Luo said that, she was just making fun of Liang Yurong's exaggerated attire.
Liang Yurong immediately raised her eyebrows, "Okay, you actually laughed at me? I'm afraid of the cold, and I've never been to such a high place before."
As she said that, she was about to come up to pick Wei Luo's clothes, the two little girls quarreled together, laughing sweetly, and the maids knew that they were not really arguing, so they didn't step forward to stop them, they all looked on with smiles. Suddenly, Liang Yurong stopped, pointed to a red mark on Wei Luo's collarbone and asked, "Ah Luo, what is this?"
Wei Luo blinked suspiciously: "What?"
She was in a fog, until Liang Yurong brought a small bronze mirror for her to take a picture, and she suddenly understood. Zhao Jie sucked a red mark on her collarbone at some point last night, and it has not disappeared until now. This place is not easy for others to see, but when the two of them were fighting, Liang Yurong accidentally After tearing Wei Luo's clothes loose, this scene happened.
Fortunately, Wei Luo's mind turned quickly, and she wanted to bite Zhao Jie in her heart, but she said calmly, "Oh, there are many bugs on the mountain, I was bitten by a small bug when I was taking a bath in the hot spring last night, it's not a big deal. in the way."
Liang Yurong didn't think too much about it, she was worried that the "bug" was poisonous and would be bad for the skin, so she specially asked the maid beside her to go back to the house to get a bottle of anti-inflammatory ointment, and asked Wei Luo to apply it every day, so as not to leave anything behind scar.
Wei Luo didn't refuse, but thanked Liang Yurong for her kindness.
Da Furen and Wei Changyin live in Jinji Courtyard in Zhuangzi. The springs of the hot springs are in the northeast corner of Jinji Courtyard. Soaking in the hot springs there is effective for both the body and the healing of injuries.
When Wei Luo and Liang Yurong rushed to the main room, they saw the eldest lady and other female relatives escorting a man out of the door. When he got closer, Wei Luo saw clearly that the person was Zhao Jie. Zhao Jie was wearing a straight navy blue ganoderma pattern, his hair was raised up with a lotus crown, and his hair was fixed in a bun with a dragon's head and white jade hairpin. That jade stick was exactly the one that Wei Luo gave him.
Zhao Jie's appearance was impressive, his advances and retreats were measured, and his gestures were noble. He didn't seem to be the same person as the one who peeked at Wei Luo's bath last night. Zhao Jie lowered his eyes and was talking to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady sent him out of the door, and said gratefully with tears in her eyes: "I really thank His Highness Prince Jing, if it weren't for you, I am afraid that the child's legs..."
Zhao Jie said: "It's just a little effort, Madam don't have to say thank you."
The eldest lady took out a juan handkerchief and wiped away her tears. She knew that Zhao Jie would be bored if she continued talking, so she stopped here: "My lord, please go and see Chang Yin. Doctor Fu is treating his leg disease. You are kind to him, and he will definitely I also want to thank you personally."
Zhao Jie thought for a while and said, "Then I will trouble Madam to lead the way."
Zhao Jie raised his eyes and saw two girls standing opposite the corridor. Wei Luo's gaze collided with him, and she hastily moved away. She didn't expect Zhao Jie to be here, and she didn't know whether to move forward or leave now.
Men and women are different, and Wei Luo and Zhao Jie are already engaged, so they should be avoided before marriage. It's just that Zhao Jie and the eldest lady have already walked this way, it seems a little inappropriate for her to turn around and leave... Wei Luo lowered her eyelashes, and when Zhao Jie and the eldest lady came up to her, she called, "Auntie." No more words .
It was Liang Yurong who saluted, "See Your Highness Prince Jing."
The eldest lady knew that the girl's family had a low reputation, so she didn't make things difficult for Wei Luo. Instead, she smiled and helped Wei Luo, "Ah Luo is here, just now Mi Geer was looking for you everywhere, this child is really pestering you, you go quickly Let's take a look at the main hall."
Wei Luo nodded, took a small box with golden brocade patterns from Jin Lu's hand, and handed it to the eldest lady, "This is the peace talisman I asked for at Daci Temple before I came to Tianchan Mountain. It can keep people healthy and happy in life. Madam, give it to brother Chang Yin for me."
The eldest lady was very happy, and praised Wei Luo for her heart, "Don't worry, I will hand it over to him in a while."
Wei Luo smiled and said comfortingly: "I also heard that my aunt has not been able to sleep well all night because of her frequent seduction of my brother. It just so happens that I have a calming pill at my place, and my aunt can send someone to I'll take it from there. I often quote my elder brother's auspicious person and heavenly sign, and the leg disease will be cured."
Da Furen sighed: "I hope so."
After all, he was worried that Zhao Jie would wait too long, so he said goodbye to Wei Luo, and said to Zhao Jie, "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, please go."
Zhao Jieyun calmly glanced at the brocade box in the lady's hand, then at Wei Luo's back, and said with lowered eyes, "Okay."
A few people gathered in the main room, although it was to care for Wei Changyin's leg ailment, but Wei Changyin was not here at the moment, and the group changed the topic while talking, and began to talk about the hot springs and scenery of Chanshan Mountain that day.
Third Madam Qin said: "I just took a bath last night, and this morning I feel all the fatigue has disappeared."
The second lady said: "Isn't it? Even the skin on my body is not dry..."
Liang Yurong went to bed early yesterday morning, and hadn't tried the benefits of the hot spring, so she couldn't get in the conversation. Because Wei Luo was pestered by Wei Changmi, he didn't have a chance to speak, so he simply played with Wei Changmi and just listened silently.
Wei Baoshan on the side had no room to speak, she stood behind the second lady with her head down, looking absent-minded.
The second lady didn't want to bring her here at first, but she was worried about leaving her at home alone. She would sue the second master for something, so she reluctantly brought her here. Wei Baoshan was not welcome by the second wife, and the yard she lived in was very remote, and it would take two sticks of incense to walk from the yard to the Jinji Courtyard.
Wei Baoshan stood for a while, and said to the second wife, Song Shi: "Madam, Baoshan is not feeling well, and wants to go back to the room to rest first."
The second lady didn't want to see her at all, so she waved her hand and said, "Go back, don't come out if you don't feel well, it's bad luck."
Wei Baoshan's face turned pale, she bowed her knees and saluted, and exited the main room.
Wei Luo looked at the back of Wei Baoshan leaving, and felt a little weird in her heart, but she couldn't remember why it was weird for a while. Wei Changmi held up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it to Wei Luo's mouth, and said "Ah" in a dignified manner, "Sister Ah Luo, eat..."
Wei Luo took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with his hand and chewed it.
Wei Changmi asked with bright eyes: "Is it delicious?"
Wei Luo nodded, "Well, it's just a little sweet."
Wei Changmi stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, making one cheek bulge, "I don't think it's sweet."
Wei Luo suddenly remembered something, stood up quickly, put Wei Changmi into Liang Yurong's arms, and walked outside, "You help me watch him, I'll go outside for a walk."
Liang Yurong let out an "ah", "Where are you going?"
Wei Luo didn't have time to answer, so she walked out of the main room with her skirt, and walked under an osmanthus tree in front of the gate of Jinji Courtyard. This tree is located in the center of the Jinji Courtyard. No matter where you come from, you have to pass this tree. Wei Luo saw it when he came here. This tree is at least several decades old. The leaves are withered, leaving only bare branches.
Now, Wei Baoshan was standing under this tree, her handkerchief was blown up by a gust of wind and hung on the branch of the laurel tree, she was reaching for the handkerchief with her toes.
In the distance, Zhao Jie came out of Wei Changyin's room and was walking towards this side.
Wei Luo stood on the sidelines and watched coldly, neither stepped forward to help Wei Baoshan, nor stepped forward to greet Zhao Jie, but just watched without moving.
Zhao Jie saw Wei Luo at first glance, and strode towards her. Seeing that she was only wearing a thin pomegranate red short jacket and skirt, he immediately took off the black fox cloak and put it on her body, "Why are you wearing so little?" Just come out? Why stand outside, not afraid of freezing."
Wei Luo raised her head and smiled brightly at him, her voice was sweet: "I don't know when big brother will come out, so I have to stand here and wait for you."
Zhao Jie scratched her nose, saw that there might be people walking around here, and it was not a place to talk, so he held her hand and led her out, "It just so happens, this king also has something to say to you."
Wei Luo didn't struggle, and obediently followed him out.
When passing by Wei Baoshan, Zhao Jie didn't even look over there, as if he couldn't see her reaching for the handkerchief.
Wei Luo was not afraid that Wei Baoshan would see her. Wei Baoshan had no status in the British government, and no one would listen to what she said, so she couldn't cause any disturbance. She turned her head and looked over there, Wei Baoshan was also looking at them, with a strange expression on her face, she forced a smile at Wei Luo, "Miss Four."
Wei Luo bent her lips and smiled faintly, "Miss Baoshan."
Wei Baoshan's complexion changed, Wei Luo didn't call her "Miss Wei", but called her "Miss Baoshan", that is to say, in Wei Luo's heart, she was not even a member of the Wei family. There is nothing wrong with that, after all, Wei Baoshan has been in the British government for so long, and she didn't even have a family tree, let alone a ranking number, she is just an outsider.
These words also vaguely reminded Wei Baoshan to pay attention to his identity.
Wei Baoshan looked at the backs of Zhao Jie and Wei Luo leaving. Zhao Jie only had Wei Luo in his eyes, and regarded her as a treasure. In order to take care of her steps when walking, he even walked a lot slower on purpose. Wei Baoshan looked at the handkerchief on top of her head, she couldn't reach it anymore, turned around and left as well.
Zhao Jie took Wei Luo to the back of a rockery outside Jinji Courtyard, and asked her with downcast eyes: "You asked Wei Changyin for a peace talisman, where is my king?"
Wei Luo was only thinking about Wei Baoshan just now, but he didn't notice that what he cared about was actually a safety talisman. No wonder Zhao Jie's face darkened when she gave the auntie the peace talisman just now, it turned out that he was actually jealous.
In fact, Wei Luo had begged for one for him a long time ago, and he had begged with Wei Changhong when he went back to Daci Temple, but he never had the chance to give it to him. Now he took the initiative to get up, but Wei Luo picked up Jiao instead, "Brother Chang Yin is suffering from a leg problem, so I begged him for a peace talisman. You are fine, why do I ask you for this?"
Zhao Jie said: "Isn't this king ever injured? You saw it with your own eyes when you went back to Shaanxi to provide disaster relief."
Wei Luo made excuses, "But you're fine now."
"The safety talisman is for safety. You only hope that Wei Changyin's life will be smooth. Don't you want me to be safe?" Zhao Jie twisted her face, threatening and seductive: "Please ask me for a safety talisman when I go back."
Wei Luo had never seen anything like this before, so she finally couldn't hold back her smile, and took out a small square sachet from the colorful embroidered magnolia pattern pouch tied around her waist, with a wishful heart on it. Inside was the safety talisman that Wei Luo begged for. Wei Luo put the sachet into Zhao Jie's hand, "Here I am, I asked for it a long time ago when I went back to Daci Temple, but I kept forgetting to bring it to you. I also put wormwood and plum blossom petals in it, which can be used as Use the sachet."
Zhao Jie took a look and saw that the sachet was embroidered with a string of vine patterns, which was simple and generous, and the scent of the sachet was also elegant and elegant, with a bit of ethereal coldness. Appropriate for men. Zhao Jie was a little surprised, "You also embroidered this sachet?"
Wei Luo put her hands behind her back and said with some pride, "Otherwise, who will embroider for you?"
Zhao Jie smiled and said, "Since you have already asked, why did you lie to me?"
Wei Luo said, "If it's given to you so easily, you must think it's too easy and won't take it seriously."
"No." Zhao Jie possessed himself and kissed her on the lips, obviously very happy, "I will wear it every day, and I won't be willing to take it off for a moment."
Wei Luo was worried that someone would pass by here, so she didn't stay with him too long. After delivering the peace amulet, she pushed him away and returned to the main hall.
Zhao Jie had something to do in Beijing, so he went back the next day, while Wei Luo lived in the hot spring villa in Tianchan Mountain for a whole winter. She took Liang Yurong to soak in the hot springs in the pool every three days, and her skin became whiter and tenderer than before, and her energy and spirit were much more radiant. She and Liang Yurong lived very comfortably here. During the day, they would make tea and watch the snow, or admire the plum blossoms and sweep the snow. Sometimes they would get together to make new spice rouge with plum blossoms and camellias. At night, they would soak in hot springs to maintain their skin. , talk about everything.
After three months, the two of them have been beautiful each other. They are crystal clear, which makes people like it just by looking at them. Especially Wei Luo, who was beautiful in the first place, but now she couldn't take her eyes off her.
When Wei Luo returned to the British residence from Tianchan Mountain, Mrs. Tai saw her, pulled her to her and praised, "This girl... is so beautiful that even grandma dare not recognize her."
Wei Luo smiled and said, "Grandmother looks more energetic than when I left."
Mrs. Tai nodded her nose, "You can make me happy."
Having said that, Mrs. Tai is really useful, with joy in her eyes.
Mrs. Tai said a few words to Wei Luo, and then went to care about Wei Changyin's leg injury. After all, the most important thing is to go to Tianchan Mountain to treat Wei Changyin's leg injury.
After Dr. Fu's treatment, Wei Changyin's leg is much better than it was at the beginning. Although he still can't walk, he can feel sensation below the knee. Doctor Fu said that there is no need to stay in the hot spring villa anymore, as long as he cooperates with the treatment, he will be able to walk again in a year, and he can go to the hot spring villa once a year in the future.
After listening to Mrs. Tai, tears filled her eyes and said: "Okay, it's really great... I said that I often attract such a good child, God will not treat him badly..."
The eldest lady also cried, "Mother is right. I blame my daughter-in-law for her lack of knowledge and not being able to find a good doctor for Chang Yin as soon as possible. He has suffered for so many years for nothing..."
Mrs. Tai patted her hand and said: "How can you blame this? Everything has its own destiny, as long as Chang Yin's leg can be cured..."
The eldest lady was so excited that she wet a handkerchief from crying, and finally she was helped back by the servant girl, and the hall became quiet.
Wei Luo talked with Mrs. Tai for a while, then got up and went back to Pine Garden.
After the beginning of spring, Wei Luo didn't meet Zhao Jie a few times.
Maybe Zhao Jie was too busy, so he didn't look for her a few times, and twice sent a message through Yueli to ask Wei Luo to meet outside, but Wei Luo didn't go to see him. It's not good to meet before getting married. Zhao Jie was too abrupt in the past, but now that Wei Luo has returned to his home, there are two more maids and mother-in-law by his side. Even if Zhao Jie wants to secretly see her, he can't do it. That's good, Wei Luo can prepare the dowry with peace of mind, and ask the fourth aunt Qin's embroidery work, embroider pillows, hipkerchiefs, and shoe uppers.
It is said that it is unlucky to meet before getting married. Since Wei Luo is married to Zhao Jie, she naturally wants to live a peaceful and peaceful life with him.
The days turned from spring to summer, and then from early summer to late autumn, during which Wei Luo performed a funeral ceremony, and before he knew it, it was October.
Wei Luo and Zhao Jie's wedding date was set on the eighth day of October, that is to say, in a few days, Wei Luo was going to marry to Prince Jing's residence.
Counting the days, Wei Luo and Zhao Jie hadn't seen each other for more than half a year.
