The day of parting always comes quickly.
In the back kitchen of Zuixianlou, Gentle seemed to be nonchalant, wiping the jars of morning dew over and over again, but she felt a little bit reluctant.
What's wrong with me? Obviously, I had made up my mind before that I would not have anything to do with the two of them in this life. Now, as I wish, they are going back to Beijing for the New Year. Why am I feeling so sad here!
She smiled bitterly and laughed at herself.
"Girl Rou, General Sheng sent someone to fetch the wine!" Shopkeeper Li ran from the counter to the back kitchen himself.
"Understood, everything is ready, let them move to the back kitchen!" Gentle exhaled softly, and said listlessly.
"Rou'er, what's wrong with you, are you sick?" Wen Shouzheng probably heard the difference in the gentle tone.
"Father, it's nothing, maybe I'm tired these days, it's okay to take a break during the Chinese New Year." Wen Rou said casually.
"I don't think you can wait for the New Year. Anyway, you are done with the wine for General Sheng. Why don't you go back and rest today, just to see if there is anything else that can help at home. Your second uncle and Zhenniang's marriage is also a matter of course." It's almost done, let's do it in a few days!" Wen Shouzheng said with concern.
"Father, I'm not tired!" When Rou Rou said this, her eyes kept looking out, as if she was looking for something.
"You said you weren't tired. These days you've been helping the cook and taking care of Mr. Song Tao's food. You're a twelve-year-old girl, so it's no wonder you're not tired!" Wen Shouzheng felt distressed. When I came to the back kitchen of Zuixianlou, I lost a lot of weight.
"Go back quickly! How about I let the stone send you?" Wen Shouzheng didn't leave when he saw Ruanrou. Another reminder.
"Oh." Ruan was a little disappointed, looked around for a long time, and there was no one else at the door except for a few soldiers who came to carry the wine.
Today, they definitely won't come, Sheng Yaoshan has Nine Princes and Sheng Jiaoxue to take care of. And his subordinates; Ren Yue. He was not supposed to show up in Xianyang, but now that he is returning to Beijing for the New Year, he just followed the trajectory of his official career. In the coming year, he will try to be the top of the high school list, and after that, he will be the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor in the palace examination.
Rourou walked out of the Zuixian Tower, and walked down the street in a daze, several times imagining that there would be a touch of blue in front of her. Or a mass of white.
But apart from the hustle and bustle of the crowd and the loud voices of people, she didn't get anything else.
Without paying attention, her disobedient feet brought her to the gate of the east of the city again.
Outside the city is still a gloomy winter, and the moat that was still surging a few days ago has been completely sealed by ice due to the sudden drop in temperature.
"It's so cold!" Rourou subconsciously clenched the neckline of the blue cotton jacket. Only then did she realize that today's northwest wind was as cold and raging as her mood.
A melodious flute sounded from far to near. It came slowly, broke through the severe cold, and approached the ears.
"Ren Yue!" The flute sound was all too familiar, and it was still beside the moat, blurting out softly.
I searched around in circles, did he leave? Or are you already on your way back to Beijing
The crisp sound of horseshoes gradually approached. A mass of snow-white leaped in front of him.
"Miss Wen, why are you alone again?" Ren Yue held the jade flute in his hand. Holding the rein with one hand, the elegant white clothes fluttered in the wind, gracefully and gracefully on Yingxue's back.
"I... I'll just go for a walk." Ruan really couldn't think of any other reason, Ren Yue also used this excuse when he went to the back kitchen that day.
"Could it be that they came to see me off?" Ren Yue briskly got off his horse, squinted his eyes, and leaned on the scriptures slowly.
"Of course not!" Rourou shot back directly, and after finishing speaking, she realized that she had never lied in her heart.
"Go back quickly! It's enough to have the teacher and the others come to see you off. It's going to snow this day. You're a girl and you don't have an umbrella..." Ren Yue's tone was gentle, although he was one step away from gentleness. Remote, but I feel softly that their hearts are very close.
"Mr. Songtao is here too?" Rourou asked subconsciously.
"Everyone is over there, we will return to Beijing as soon as the kid from Shengyao Mountain's wine arrives!" Ren Yueyang pointed his finger not far away.
Gently looking over, I saw some figures moving.
"I won't go there, you... Take care on the way." Rou Rou paused, and still said goodbye, but didn't dare to look into Ren Yue's eyes.
The corners of Ren Yue's mouth raised, and a soft sound came out of his nose, and he could be heard smiling.
"This girl, she's pretty cute when she's not unruly!" Ren Yue thought to himself, he even had the urge to reach out and touch Gentle's hair. These days, his daily life has been taken care of by Gentleness. Excellent ingredients, exquisite recipes, familiar tastes, thoughtful thoughts, and a little surprise.
Ren Yue always felt that deep down in his heart, this little girl called Gentle was very familiar with him, as if he had known him very well in the previous life!
"Since you're here, let's say hello to everyone! I'll ask Ink to take you back later." Ren Yue was still worried.
Rourou felt that her legs and feet didn't grow on her body, Ren Yue's words seemed to have magic power, she nodded obediently, and walked forward with him.
"Miss Wen!" Sheng Yaoshan laughed.
"Sheng Yaoshan, I didn't come here specially to see you off. I happened to meet him at the gate of the city. It's a coincidence. What's the matter, you've been bothering him to take care of him for many days, so you don't want to show it?" Ren Yue looked at Sheng Yaoshan with a half-smile.
"Sister Wen!" Liu Xian heard that Ruan Wen was coming, and rolled out of the carriage excitedly, jumping up and down and insisting on going down. The guard had no choice but to hug him out of the carriage.
Liu Xian ran over staggeringly, threw himself on the gentle cotton skirt, reluctant to part.
"Sister Wen, Xian'er will miss you. Xian'er will come back after the New Year's Eve. My sister will cook delicious food for Xian'er, okay?"
"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, be good. Don't be greedy when you return to Beijing. If you grow up to be a little fat man, you will no longer be as mighty and tall as your elder brother Yaoshan!" Gentle squatted down and gently pinched Liu Xian's chubby With a small face, he pointed to Sheng Yaoshan next to him.
Hearing this, Sheng Yaoshan felt that he had more face, and shook his neck proudly.
"Why Sheng Yaoshan? An ordinary man. What is there to envy! Vulgar!" Ren Yue thought to himself, frowned, and glanced at Sheng Yaoshan disdainfully.
"Miss Wen, thank you for your delicious wine. If it is convenient, I plan to buy in bulk. Anyway, the girl makes wine very quickly. This matter will be discussed in detail in the next year! Yaoshan is very grateful for the interruptions in the past few days, and has nothing else How about giving it to a girl..." Sheng Yaoshan looked him up and down, except for the bright silver spear behind him, he didn't seem to have anything else on him. You can't call your subordinates to give money directly! Although the money is affordable, Sheng Yaoshan is still a well-educated general!
"The sky has changed, it's my wish to give this cloak to the girl!" After Sheng Yaoshan finished speaking, he quickly took off his black-colored gold-rimmed fur cloak, and gently put it on Gentle's body.
So warm, so familiar feeling!
Wen Rou suddenly felt that her whole body was so weak that she was the mountain-like man in her previous life. Shelter him from the wind and rain. Take him out of the dungeon, even if you lose all your martial arts and become a cripple, you still use your body to block the rain of arrows for her. Thinking of these, the gentle eye sockets are moist.
Standing aside, Ren Yue couldn't help but gritted his teeth lightly, originally he wanted to tease Sheng Yaoshan. Knowing that this kid has no feelings, who knows that such a scene can be achieved!
Ren Yue's mouth was sour. A feeling of being robbed of something you love, born of hatred.
"Brother! What are you doing! It's so cold, if you freeze, can this girl take care of you? Isn't she a cook?" In another carriage, Sheng Jiaoxue raised the curtain with one hand, and said bitterly.
"Hey, you, hurry up and take it off and give it back to my brother! Do you know the value of this cloak? You can't afford it even if you cook for a year!" Sheng Jiaoxue simply stretched out a jade finger, pointing directly at the gentle way .
Gentle and fierce, she was as gentle as water in her previous life, she would silently endure whoever blamed her, and never said much.
At the beginning, the resolute Sheng Yaoshan not only fell in love with her gentle cooking skills and beauty, but also admired her gentle temperament like water; in the previous life, Ren Yue was also like this. The most important thing is that she is quiet and never talks too much. Ren Yue likes to watch the gentleness at sunset, demure and elegant, and Ren Yue likes to watch the gentleness of contemplation by the water. v.
Now that she is reborn, she should no longer be that submissive gentleness! She guards her family; if she doesn't like it, she can speak up, and no one can force it! If it was on weekdays, she would definitely argue with Sheng Jiaoxue, such as "Your brother gave it to me, your brother is willing, can you control it?"
But at this moment, Ruan still felt that what Sheng Jiaoxue said was right, the two of them were neither relatives nor relatives in this life, but they just cooked some meals for their duties, how could they accept such a valuable cloak
Besides, the weather is really cold and the journey is far away. With Sheng Yaoshan's temperament, he will definitely not sit in a warm carriage. He must be ahead of Chitu and take the lead. The gentle heart sighed softly: Yaoshan, take care of yourself, don't get sick from the cold.
Thinking of this, Ruan Rou said nothing, slowly eased off the cloak, and put both hands back in Sheng Yaoshan's hands.
"General Sheng is kind and gentle."
"Miss Wen, this is for you..." Sheng Yaoshan still wanted to insist, but Rourou had already turned around and came to Mr. Songtao's side.
"Tch, you're sensible, so I won't waste my time!" Sheng Jiaoxue said proudly, and ruthlessly threw down the curtain in her hand.
Seeing this, the corner of Ren Yue's mouth twitched slightly. Although Sheng Yaoshan's black cloak was returned, at this moment he actually felt a little gloating in his heart.
"Miss Wen, after we leave, the teacher will take care of you!" Ren Yue touched his nose after all, and went forward to greet him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Songtao is also my brother's teacher, I can't treat you badly!" Rourou pursed her lips and smiled.
"Teacher, why don't you come to my house during the Chinese New Year? There are so many people, it's a good time to try my father's cooking skills. My father is a real chef!" Wen Ting suddenly remembered something, and warmly invited.
"Stinky boy, you apprentice, I paid the price!" Mr. Songtao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Teacher, let's take our leave. Let's leave now. You can go back. Miss Wen, you can go back too! Shui Mo will take Miss Wen back for me!" Ren Yue got on his horse and explained carefully.
Sheng Yaoshan hesitated, the cloak was not delivered just now, so he couldn't just leave like that, he winked at the soldiers next to him. The soldiers understood, and when Sheng Jiaoxue's carriage was far away, he took out a large silver ticket from his bosom and stuffed it into Wen Rou's hands, "Girl, this is General Sheng's intention, please accept it!" The horses left.
