Splendid Book

Chapter 28 Goodbye Again
When Ye Lanting left the next day, the weather was gloomy, as if it could rain at any moment.Ye Lanting stood beside the carriage, tiptoed to look inside, with a look of anxiety on his face.The expression on his face changed from cloudy to sunny when the water-blue figure appeared.

"Why don't you get in the car yet?" Shen Changle asked, holding up her skirt and running all the way to him.

Ye Lanting naturally didn't have the nerve to say that he was waiting for her, so he shyly said, "There is no hurry."

"Okay, Lanting, it's time to get in the car," Ye Mingshan said goodbye to Shen Lingcheng at this time, and walked over to lead his son into the car.

Ye Lanting's complexion changed suddenly, even his eyes were red, he looked at Shen Changle, his lips trembled, and asked: "Changle, can I write to you?"

"Of course." Shen Changle nodded, but she said helplessly, "But I don't know how to read yet."

Ye Lanting's original expression from sadness to joy suddenly changed again, he looked at Shen Changle pitifully, and said after a while: "You can ask Ruyan to read the letter for you."

But after he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, he didn't want Shen Ruyan to read his letter.When he was struggling between the two, Shen Changle patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "I will learn to read early, if I can write, I will definitely write back to you."

He nodded, recalled what happened yesterday, and said softly: "I will never forget the agreement between us."

After he finished speaking, he got into the car step by step.As soon as he got in the car, he raised the curtain on the window and waved at Shen Changle.But the carriage moved quickly, and with the sound of the ruts pressing against the bluestone slab, Shen Changle watched the people on the carriage get farther and farther away, and finally turned into a small black spot and disappeared from sight.

Seeing her standing at the door, Shen Lingcheng was still unwilling to go in, so he asked softly, "Is Changle reluctant to part with Brother Lanting?"

"After he left, no one will play with me," Shen Changle said slightly disappointed.

Shen Lingcheng couldn't help chuckling when he heard her childish words, he was still a child after all.So he picked up his daughter, and the father and daughter turned back.After Shen Changle returned to the yard, he lay down on the small table on Arhat's bed, looking very preoccupied.

Even when Chunliu brought her tea fruit, she didn't raise her eyes.But Chunliu was still at the side, and said understandingly: "Third Miss, are you reluctant to part with Master Lanting?"

Shen Changle didn't say a word either. If she and Ye Lanting had no engagement in this life, maybe this would be the last time they met.After all, even if Ye Lanting comes to the capital again in the future, they will all grow up, hindering the defense of men and women, and they will not play like they did when they were young.

She couldn't help but sighed, she just hoped that he could be safe and happy in this life.

Seeing her moaning and sighing at such a young age, Chunliu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.So I couldn't help but make a suggestion: "Isn't the third girl the one who likes to play with Mr. Ji the most? Why don't you go today?"

Shen Changle didn't speak, but compared to Ye Lanting, she was more complicated towards Ji Yu.She flattered Ji Yu everywhere, she just hoped that he would remember the affection he had when he was young, and be lenient towards their Shen family in the future.But it's really unnecessary for someone like Ye Lanting to dig out his heart and soul.

After all, he will be a big winner in the future, and Shen Changle doesn't need to care about a winner like him.

In the end, Luwu took the little maid to play shuttlecock in the yard, it was so lively, Shen Changle watched in the yard for a while.She stood on the porch, watching Lu Wu fly up and down, her figure was nimble and light, and finally the other maids stopped arguing and just kept counting for her.

Shen Changle couldn't dance by himself, but he cheered for Luwu, but he was better than anyone else.After a while, Luwu jumped to more than 100, and she couldn't help shouting: "If it exceeds [-], I will ask the kitchen to cook Pipa duck for you today."

Lu Wu also likes pipa ducks, but how can she, a little maid, have the money to go to old Han Dong to buy such expensive ducks.That is to say, every time Shen Lingcheng brought it back to Shen Changle, she was young and didn't eat much, so she rewarded it to the maids below.So when she heard this, not to mention that Luwu was full of energy, the other maids also kept cheering her on.

When Lvwu kicked about 190 times, Madam Xu, who came back from the outside, saw the little maidservants frolicking together as soon as she came in, and she immediately reprimanded: "What's going on, what's going on, Everyone’s skin is itching again, why are you messing around here if you don’t serve the girl?”

The little maids below were naturally afraid of her, and they all kept silent, but Lvwu was kicking at a critical moment, so they ignored Madam Xu's words.Although Madam Xu is not the only one in this yard, except for Aunt Shun, it belongs to her.So when she saw that Lvwu dared to kick, she immediately became angry, rushed over, pushed Lvwu, and cursed: "Little hooves, the wings are hard, but they won't even listen to me. If I think the skin is so itchy, some of the mothers in charge teach you how to behave."

Because Shen Changle was small, standing on the porch, surrounded by maidservants, Mother Xu didn't even see her.She just kept scolding the little maid, and Lu Wu was hit by her and almost fell down, but fortunately the little maid next to her helped her up.

Mother Xu seemed not enough, pointing at the little maids all over the yard, she taught her a lesson: "If you think it's too comfortable to serve girls, some of them are handymen for you to do. You dare to steal and play tricks when you are on errands. When I report to my wife, I will kick you out one by one."

She pinched her waist, turned around, and finally froze when she faced the front corridor of the main hall.

Shen Changle stood next to Chunliu, a small person, looking at her calmly, that look really frightened Madam Xu.She immediately stepped forward and smiled flatteringly: "My girl, when did you come back? I thought these little maids were all cheating."

Mother Xu only went out after Shen Changle went out. She knew that the third girl was going to the young master of the Ye family, so she ran out secretly.

Although she smiled flatteringly now, there was indeed a look of indifference in her eyes.In her opinion, Shen Changle is just a little girl, so there is nothing to be afraid of.Shen Changle didn't miss her eyes.

She smiled and said, "I made Luwu and the others kick the shuttlecock."

"Look at me, it's really a mess if you care about it. You just think that these maids don't care about serving the girl. If you don't think about it, it disturbs our girl's elegance," Xu Mama hurriedly said again, but she would find it for herself. down the steps.

Shen Changle put his hands behind his back, with an innocent smile on his face.Just now, what Mother Xu said, when I told my wife to kick you out one by one, she didn't miss a single word.She was really surprised, when did the maids in her yard need Mrs. Lin to be the master.

But now she said with a smile: "Nurse is also doing it for my own good, and those who don't know are innocent."

"Look at our girl, she's really sensible," Madam Xu praised happily again.

But her words made Chunliu's face change.If it was an old lady, or even a wife, it would be all right.But Madam Xu's tone was to teach the third girl a lesson as if she were her own nephew.

In the past two days, because Aunt Shun's son was ill, Shen Changle asked her to take a few days off.So all the big and small affairs in the courtyard are in charge of by Grandma Xu.In the past, when Aunt Shun was around, Nanny Xu could restrain herself a little bit, but now that Aunt Shun was not around, she revealed all her arrogance.

Shen Changle snorted softly, but still had a smile on her face, she said: "Nurse Xu has really worked hard."

Nanny Xu was about to evade, but Shen Changle turned around and entered the room.Xu Momo showed a shy smile on her face, then turned her head to look around at the maids in the yard, and cursed: "Whatever you look at, go to work."

As soon as she finished cursing, Chunliu came out of the house again and called Luwu, saying that the girl asked her to come in to serve her.Luwu picked up the shuttlecock from the ground, snorted coldly at Madam Xu, and walked in.

Grandma Xu stood where she was, gasped for several breaths, and then stopped cursing.She couldn't help but think of what the man said, she didn't care at first, but now that she thinks about it, there are a few maids in this yard who dare to stare at Gu Shun, but they are all disrespectful to her.

Luwu entered the yard, and saw Shen Changle sitting on the Arhat bed, beckoning to her, and said with a smile: "Today, let the kitchen make a pipa duck, and then you and the little maid will eat it together."

"The slaves didn't jump to two hundred," Lu Wu shrugged embarrassedly.

"You're so powerful, I think if Madam Xu hadn't bumped into you, you might be able to jump out of three hundred," Shen Changle said firmly with his eyes widened.

Only then did Luwu smile, and Chunliu grabbed a handful of big bucks from the cash box, handed them to her, and asked her to go to the kitchen to order food.There are rules in the palace for the meals of the wives, even Shen Changle has to follow the rules.But she was subsidized by the old lady and Shen Lingcheng. If she wanted to eat something, she could just take the money and go to the kitchen to order it. Even Mrs. Lin couldn't find that reason.

After Luwu went out, Chunliu looked at Shen Changle and said with a smile: "Young lady, don't be angry either, Madam Xu is just very disciplined, she didn't mean to spoil the interest of the young lady."

"It's okay." Shen Changle waved his hand, and then concentrated on looking at the jigsaw puzzle in his hand. This is a toy given to her by her elder brother, and it is also one of her favorite toys.

Naturally, she would not care about Nanny Xu.If she really doesn't like her, she just needs to report to the old lady and let her go back to take care of her.What she really cares about is Mrs. Lin. If she lives another life, she naturally doesn't want to be restrained by Mrs. Lin like in her previous life.

The reason why she married Qin Xiu in the first place was because of Lin's obstruction.Because Ye Lanting fell from a horse and died, she has been in panic at home all day long.Although the Duke of Wei's government tried their best to conceal it, her name as Kefu gradually spread.Daddy was very angry at that time, but no matter how angry he was, he still couldn't stop everyone talking.

But after a year, Lin couldn't sit still, and Shen Jin was only two years younger than her.As the elder sister, Shen Changle has never been married, and as a younger sister, even her marriage is not good.So after the Marquis of Pingyang came to propose marriage, Lin kept persuading her.But everyone knows that the third young master of the Pingyang Hou Mansion has been in poor health since he was a child.

Thinking about it now, Shen Changle might have listened to Lin's words and regarded this marriage as the last straw to save his life.Unexpectedly, something happened later, so she had to marry even if she didn't want to marry.

In this life, she will never let Mrs. Lin intervene in her own affairs, nor will she be manipulated by her.

"What did Madam Xu go out to do just now?" Shen Changle asked casually while playing with jigsaw puzzles.

Chunliu was just moving out the embroidery basket, ready to continue making half of the middle coat for Shen Changle.Shen Changle's close-fitting clothes were all made by their own maids. Qiao Shu's female celebrity is the best among them, but Chunliu often makes them by herself.

"Your servant doesn't know either," Chunliu looked at her carefully, feeling that the third girl's question was a bit strange.But she also knows that her daughter has always been a kid, otherwise she would not have said such words to comfort her just now.

Chunliu naturally didn't think about other things, but felt distressed that the third girl lost her mother since she was a child, and her thoughts were more serious than ordinary children.Like her little nieces and nephews, they still have a runny nose at this age, clamoring for sweets.

Shen Changle suspected that she had secretly contacted Mrs. Lin after hearing the words of Mrs. Xu just now.However, she was not in a hurry about Madam Xu's matter. When Aunt Shun came back, she only needed to mention a few words in front of her, and Aunt Shun would definitely wake up.

However, she was really looking forward to what Lin could do. The bigger her actions now, the harder it would be to interfere with her affairs in the future.

In the afternoon, after Shen Rufan came back from school, he came to look for Shen Changle. He was a little unhappy, probably because of Ye Lanting's departure.At the end, he sighed and said: "Lanting is going to the capital, and Ji Yu is also going to the capital. Is the capital as good as this?"

Shen Changle was stunned, she didn't expect Ji Yu to leave too.But after thinking about it, it's true. With his status, if it wasn't for a reason, how could he come to Guangping Mansion.It's okay to go back now, at least in the capital, no one would dare to think of him.

Shen Ruan glanced at her a few times, and said strangely: "Changle, why aren't you sad at all?"

"What are you sad about?" Shen Changle asked back.

Shen Ruwan clicked his tongue twice, then hummed: "You like Ji Yu so much, why do I say he is leaving now, but you are not sad at all."

When Shen Changle heard the word kid, he wished he could sigh with emotion, her second elder brother was really a hindrance.She said: "Brother Ji Yu was only staying at our house temporarily, and he will leave sooner or later."

At this moment, the people outside suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"So you're not sad at all?" Shen Ruwen's mouth curled up into a smile, which was a way to save him. It turned out that Changle didn't like Ji Yu that much, so he just said, he's this girl My dear brother, there is no reason why she likes outsiders more than herself.

"Not sad," she said.

At this moment, a servant girl's voice came from outside, "Master Ji, are you here to find our girl? Why don't you go in."

Shen Changle raised his head in surprise, and then saw the curtain being raised, Ji Yu's handsome face was like a scroll, and his deep eyes were like bright gems.He stood quietly at the door, holding a brocade in his hand, with a calm and quiet expression.

At this time, the sun was setting, and a ray of afterglow was pouring in from the window lattice. He stood in a place where the sun could not shine, tall and straight like a pine and cypress.

"Little brother," Shen Changle called softly.

He looked indifferent, but there seemed to be something different in his eyes, then he curled the corner of his mouth and said softly: "I'm leaving in two days, I've been disturbing you at your house for so long, so I want to..."

Shen Changle looked down at the things in his hands, and suddenly felt sore, obviously she said she wasn't sad.But this meeting is more uncomfortable than anyone else.

Shen Ruyan is not a fool, so she guessed that what Shen Changle said just now must have been listened to by him.So he chuckled twice, and changed the subject for Shen Changle.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yu just glanced at him, and said lightly: "I will order someone to deliver the gift for the second young master later."

"Look at your politeness, why are we so divided," Shen Ruan stood up and pulled him over laughingly.

Ji Yu didn't refuse, and sat down opposite.Shen Rufan asked with concern: "I don't know when you will leave. Now that I have to go to school every day, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you off."

Shen Ruyan's tone was disappointing, but it was enough to save face.

Ji Yu smiled lightly and said, "The departure back to Beijing was arranged by my uncle, and I don't know the exact date."

Shen Rufan felt even more strange, only felt that Ji Yu was so mysterious that he couldn't even tell them when he was going to leave?
Ji Yu still handed the brocade box to Shen Changle, she said softly, thank you, then kept her head down, as if she was embarrassed to look up at him.Just when the three of them were a little cold, suddenly a young boy who was as familiar as Shen Ru came in and said, "Second young master, it's not good, the master will come right now, the master already knows about you in the academy yesterday."

"Master is really serious, you know how to file a complaint," Shen Ruan gritted her teeth and said, but she quickly jumped off the Arhat's bed and said something to the two of them. I went back first, and rushed away without looking back. go out.

Shen Changle watched from behind, shook his head, and saw Ji Yu's slightly surprised expression on the opposite side.She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My second brother is definitely not going back to his own yard."

"Then where is he going?" Ji Yu turned her head and asked suspiciously.

"Grandmother's yard," Shen Changle felt more and more amused as she thought about it, she seemed to be able to imagine the scene of Shen Rufan going to the old lady's yard without stopping, and Shen Lingcheng rushing to catch him non-stop.

Seeing Ji Yu's strange expression, she smiled and said, "Second elder brother does this every time. When he got into trouble in the academy, he ran to hide in my grandmother's yard. After a long time, my father has figured out his point." , so sometimes I just don’t go anywhere, just waiting for him at the gate of my grandmother’s yard.”

After what she said, Ji Yu seemed to be able to imagine Shen Ruan running to the old lady's yard, but was caught by the Duke of Wei who had already been waiting.He had never seen such a thing before, nor could he imagine it.He is the prince, even if the prince makes a mistake, the husband will only play the blackboard he was reading with, and if he makes mistakes when he grows up, he will hit the blackboard of the people around him.

And his royal father will never be like Wei Guogong.

He smiled down.

Shen Changle saw that his expression was soothed, unfolding slowly like a scroll, and her mood suddenly calmed down. She said, "Thank you, little brother."

Ji Yu looked up at her, and she said seriously: "Thank you for saving me, your kindness, I will always remember it in my heart."

Hearing her words, the smile on the corner of Ji Yu's mouth froze.Finally, he said softly: "There is nothing to be thankful for, even others, I will also save them."

Shen Changle heard his blunt words, but the sourness in his heart dissipated, he is really awkward and cute.

"You won't," she said firmly.

Ji Yu raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

Although the sentence she repeated had no beginning or end, he still understood it all at once.If it was someone else, he wouldn't save it.

She smiled at him, and after a long time, his face loosened and a smile appeared.

"Let's see you in Beijing," Ji Yu finally reached out and touched her small head, and said softly.
