Chapter 112 Soothing the Young Heart (3)
Ruoxi turned around and sat by the bed, patted him lightly and said, "Go to sleep, I will always be by your side!"

"En." Yi Jun closed his eyes. After a long while, Ruoxi stopped when he saw that he hadn't moved, but he opened his eyes immediately.

Seeing that he couldn't fall asleep, Ruoxi told him bedtime stories, from Snow White to Cinderella.It was easy to see that he was breathing evenly, and his thick eyelashes flickered occasionally.

She stopped and put his outside hand under the quilt.Looking at Yijun's sleeping face, Ruoxi sighed lightly and stood up.Turning around, he saw a tall figure standing outside the curtain.

"Who?" She was startled and couldn't help exclaiming.

"I'm scaring you." A deep and mellow voice sounded, and then the curtain was raised, and he walked in.

Ruoxi subconsciously took two steps back, caught a glimpse of him lovingly and distressedly looking at Yi Jun lying on the bed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.He frowned slightly, his beard was unshaven, and the corners of his robe were wrinkled.Losing his first wife, enduring grief and busying himself with the funeral, and thinking about his son, he must be tired.

When did he come in?Ruoxi suddenly became flustered, and when she saw him looking over, she hurriedly turned her head away.She didn't know how to address the man in front of her, Second Young Master?Brother-in-law?Or the second master?
"Thank you." He spoke first, "I have to hurry back, you should rest early." After finishing speaking, he turned and went out without waiting for Ruoxi's answer.

Seeing him go out, Ruoxi's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.It is so embarrassing and alienated when we meet each other, what should we do when we pass through the door in the future?She, a woman who advocates freedom and received modern higher education, is going to marry a man she hasn't met a few times!Thinking of this, Ruoxi felt unwilling and aggrieved, but unable to change.Facing the evil feudal ideology, she did not even dare to utter the voice of resistance by herself, but the yearning and expectation for free love that was embedded in her bones could not be eliminated.

Now her marriage is not only arranged, but she also has a husband with several women, which is really ironic!Facing Lin Yixuan, how should she deal with herself?Ruoxi secretly sighed, maybe it's time for her to think about the future.

A few days later, Mrs. Hou didn't send anyone to pick him up, but even sent Xiao Feihong over.Lin Yixuan ordered someone to bring over the books Yijun usually read, and also brought over pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Yijun started to read and write, and Feihong stuck to Ruoxi's side all day long.Ruoxi cooks three meals a day, cooks the children's favorite dishes in different ways, and coaxes them to eat as much as possible.Tell them a bedtime story at night, and when they fall asleep, go to the small bed outside to rest.

When she is free, Ruoxi draws fairy tale books, and uses flannel cloth to help Feihong make a pure white hairband, with a lovely bow in the center.Feihong likes it so much that she doesn't even want to take it off when she sleeps.

In the blink of an eye it was the seventh day, Madam Hou was afraid that the children would not be able to bear the funeral scene, so she didn't send anyone to pick them up.After the funeral of the Hou Mansion was completely finished, Mrs. Hou sent the mother in charge to come, bringing a lot of things and pulling a small cart.

"Miss Nine has worked hard, my wife asked me to come and thank her." Mother Li said with a smile: "My wife is afraid that the young master and miss will go back to see things and think about others, so I want them to stay in the farm for a while until the Chinese New Year is approaching." I will go back to the mansion when it is time. During this period of time, I have to continue to trouble the girl and make the girl tired. My wife ordered me to send some things, some of which are specially for the girl. "

After saying that, order someone to bring in the things, the best rouge and gouache, the new clothes inside and out, and a sable fur cloak.

"This cloak was a gift from the lady in the palace, and my wife has always been reluctant to wear it. The farm is no worse than in the city, the wind is strong and the weather is cold, so my wife ordered someone to take it out and bring it to the girl." She said with a smile on her face.

Ruoxi glanced at it, then smiled and replied: "I'm afraid I'll lose my fortune if I use such a precious thing, but Mrs. Hou dare not refuse the reward, please convey my thanks to my mother."

The mother admired her admiration, and thought to herself: Don't look at these nine young girls who are not of high birth, but they act and speak very prudently, they are much better than her elder sister.It's not like the eyelids of the small family who came from a small family. No wonder the second grandmother who has left takes it seriously. Even the wife nodded in satisfaction after hearing the news sent back from the farm.

"Miss is too serious." She smiled politely, "Girl is the same age, with the same appearance, nothing extra to wear. Now that I don't wear it, when I am my age, I don't even want to wear new clothes. .Looking at this old face, I don't even want to see myself, and it's useless to wear anything!"

"How could it be? Mom looks like she's only in her thirties, and she has a bit of extravagance that Ruoxi admires." Ruoxi knows that she is a trusted companion by Mrs. Hou's side, so flattery will never hurt.

Every woman likes to hear others praise her for being young, and Mama Li is no exception.The smile on her face increased a lot, and she felt that Ruoxi was really a good girl.

Ruoxi just lived in the farm like this, she likes getting along with the children very much, she doesn't need to be scheming or calculating, she just needs to follow the guidance of her heart.

The afternoon sun shone into the room, Yijun sat behind the desk writing big characters, Ruoxi sat on the opposite kang doing needlework, Feihong lay on the kang flipping through fairy tale books.

"Don't lie down and read, it's easy to damage your eyes." Ruoxi patted Fei Hong's butt and said, Fei Hong could only sit up with her lips pouted, her round body leaning against her arms.

When Lin Yixuan walked to the door, he saw this scene, and he stopped in his heart, not wanting to spoil the atmosphere in the room.

Liu Yan's health is not good, she seldom does needlework, and she doesn't have the energy to get along with her children like this.At this moment, Lin Yixuan suddenly had the illusion that this woman with a gentle and peaceful face was the mother of the child.

I don't know how long he stood there, Ruoxi suddenly raised her head and was startled, the needle in her hand pricked her finger and couldn't help but "Ouch".

He stepped in quickly, took two steps but stopped, watching Ruoxi put his finger into his mouth and sucked it.Feihong heard Ruoxi whispering, and looked at Ruoxi worriedly, without caring to please her father.

Yi Jun first glanced at Ruoxi, then at his father, then got up and went to greet him.

"I'm fine, hurry up and meet your father." Ruoxi smiled lightly, and Fei Hong went down.

She also went down, bowed to Lin Yixuan, and called Second Young Master in a polite and distant manner.

Lin Yixuan frowned, feeling vaguely unhappy.But after a few days, why does he feel that Ruoxi has alienated him better?Although Ruoxi didn't speak that night, her eyes were not as cold as today.Second young master?Doesn't she know that she is about to become his?
He stared at Ruoxi for a while, then walked to the table and picked up Yijun's big characters to read.After putting it down, he asked about Yijun and Feihong's situation on the farm.
