Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 65 Jealous
In the eyes of others, she has been criticized, her sex is difficult to distinguish, and she was taken as a boy twice when she walked on the street, so she wore silk flowers on her hair to show that she was a woman, so as not to be mistaken again.

Seeing Xu Ru say this to herself, she glanced sideways at Ling Ruofeng, "Have we met?"

"Don't pay attention to her, you're an ugly woman. You see, I made the kitchen cook so many delicious foods today, and these pastries are all your favorites. Eat quickly." Because Xu Ru didn't talk to him since he came in. , so he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he wanted to talk like this.

Xu Ru was speechless when he heard him say that, what's wrong with this little brat, she didn't seem to provoke him, so she rolled her eyes at him and ignored it.

Lying alone in bed at night, I couldn't fall asleep.The words Ling Tianfang said during the day are still lingering in his mind.She herself couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind, what kind of feeling she had towards him. When she first met him, she was attracted by his temperament and appearance, and then he sympathized with the pain of the family's rise and fall.

Does falling in love with a man start with sympathy?she asked herself.After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't find out the reason why she fell in love with Ling Tianfang.So I got up distracted, found paper and pen, and began to conceive the decoration of the hot pot restaurant.

The night was as cool as water, Ling Tianfang stood by the study window, quietly watching the candlelight in the distant courtyard.The moonlight crawled out from the clouds and sprinkled on his body, elongating the figure on the ground.

In the early morning, Xu Ru was awakened by the sound of birds outside the window.

When I was in Xujiaao, I was woken up every morning by the rooster from the third aunt's house next door, but now I was woken up by the thrush outside the door.

As soon as she got dressed, she heard a knock on the door, "Girl, have you got up yet?"

A servant girl in a green dress came in with a bronze washbasin, saw that she was combing her hair, and walked behind her, "Girl, let this servant comb your hair."

"Then I'll trouble you, just comb my hair the way I used to." She handed the wooden comb to Xiaoqing.

After a while, a beautiful bun was completed, and two small pink silk flowers were pinned to it, like a crabapple and a peach blossom.

After washing up, he followed the maid to the dining room, only Ling Ruofeng sat on the chair alone.

"Lazy woman, don't look at what time it is." He picked up the chopsticks and started eating without talking.

"Why haven't I seen your father? Doesn't he have breakfast?" Xu Ru saw several dishes on the table, including stir-fried cabbage heart, tofu with shallots, diced tangerine peel rabbit, and a plate of steamed buns. Put a bowl of porridge.There are only two people in this rich family who eat so many dishes. At home, they are either pickles or potatoes, she feels slightly emotional.

"Father, he went to inspect the shop a long time ago." He ate a few more bites without stopping, then stood up, "I'm going to school." He turned and left.

"Oh, uh?" Did he go to school?Xu Ru looked at the sky outside, it was only eight o'clock, did children go to school so early in ancient times, besides, he didn't eat much.

After eating, Xu Ru wandered around the courtyard of the Ling family alone. After coming here for so long, why didn't she see a hostess?When I met several servants on the road, they all nodded and saluted her.

She originally planned to let the maid who combed her hair in the morning take her out for a walk, but she couldn't be found after dinner.After exiting the arch of the inner courtyard, one arrives at the garden of the outer gate. A pond occupies one-third of the yard. A small river built artificially surrounds the yard and leads to the outside of the yard. The pond is full of water lilies. At this time, the leaves Has turned yellow, a little green.

"Who are you, that you walk around here?" At this time, a woman in a goose yellow dress walked towards her, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes and cool teeth, willow-leaf-browed eyebrows, and a little powder on her melon-seeded face. Fat, looks lovely.She calmly walked over from the other side of the bridge, followed by a woman in a light green dress.

The woman walked up to Xu Ru, sized her up, and laughed, "Oh? So it's you, a little girl, dressed in nondescript clothes. Where are you going?" Seeing her speaking, Xu Ru had a very strange expression Mature and soft, familiar, seems to have seen it somewhere.

"I'm just wandering around in this yard, who are you?"

"This is also a place where you can wander casually. I don't know who let her in. You should go out quickly. This is not the place for you." She motioned to the maid behind her to take her out.

"No need, I know the way." Before the maid came to pull her, she turned around and walked back the way she came.

The woman in yellow saw that she was going to the inner courtyard, not the way out, so she became anxious, "How do you go to the inner courtyard, go out from here." She pointed to the bridge she had just walked, "From there Go forward in the side corridor, go straight through the arch and go out."

Xu Ru didn't bother to talk to her, why can't I enter the inner courtyard, didn't I just walk out of it?Besides, what privacy is there in the inner courtyard, why can't others be allowed in?

The Ling family has rules, outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the inner courtyard at will without the young master's permission, even the housekeeper's daughter needs to be summoned by the master to come in, let alone a woman.

"Hey, I'm talking about you, stop!" She quickly ran in front of Xu Ru to block her, "If you don't stop, I'll call someone!"

At this time, a servant came hurriedly from the arched gate, and said to Xu Ru, "Miss Xu, our young master asked me to invite you to go."

"It's just right, I'm bored too." After saying that, she left with the boy.

Hong Xing watched her enter the inner courtyard with the servant girl, curled her lips, followed the maid and turned to leave.

She followed the boy to the study, and found that there were four people in the room, and two of them she had never seen before.

After the boy went out, Ling Tianfang introduced the other two to Xu Ru who was standing there. An old man with gray hair looked dignified. The deep lines on his forehead showed that he often frowned, but his eyes The vigilant look in Li is not to be underestimated.At this moment, he was staring at her back and forth, and this person was Ling Tianfang's father, Master Ling, Ling Aoxiang.

The other is a middle-aged woman who looks about 50 or [-] years old. Perhaps she has been well maintained, and her hair is still black and shiny. Ling Tianfang called her Fang Butler, and everyone called her Mother Fang. It was Ling Tianfang. wet nurse.The Ling family has two housekeepers, one is Sun Biyan, who is in charge of the outer courtyard affairs, and the other is this Nanny Fang, who is in charge of the inner courtyard affairs.According to her introduction, these two people are loyal to the Ling family and very reliable.She knew that the old lady of the Ling family had passed away a few years ago, and that young lady, who had only heard about it from Zhao Di's mouth a few days ago, had also died a few years ago.Xu Ru felt sorry for that young lady, Ling Tianfang was such an excellent man, and that young lady would die to enjoy life.
