MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 177
As soon as the voice came out, both of them looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Rong Xin raised the corners of her lips slightly, and nodded when the two looked at each other again, but there was no chance to communicate, because Guo Luoluo walked down the steps and directly blocked Eight elder brothers are in front of them.
"You are so ashamed! Obviously these scholars saved your daughter's life, you are not grateful, but you even beat him!" But keep messing around and we can testify for them."
But I heard it all."
Guo Luoluo looked back, his eyes suspiciously going back and forth between Rong Xin and the young scholar behind Eighth Brother.
Scholars saw her face at close range, and suddenly there was a little commotion, my eighth brother looked at Jingxi, and then at the woman in front of him, his brows gradually gathered due to thinking, and he didn't think clearly. , then subconsciously took a wrong step and cut off the sight of others.
Guo Luoluo had already turned around at this time and did not notice his movements at all.
"My hard-working daughter..." The old man swayed on the fence, firmly stabilized his body, and cried while lying on the fence, "My daughter's innocence is gone, and I don't want to live anymore. !"
He said, stepping over the fence with one leg, posing to jump down.
"Don't!"
"Wait!"
"Don't jump!"
The scholars were afraid that he would actually jump off, so they stopped him again and again.
Only Guo Luoluo sang the opposite of everyone and said arrogantly: "Who are you threatening? You can jump from here if you have the ability."
When she heard these words in the ears of others, she meant that she put people's lives at risk and was extremely cold-blooded. How can this woman be so vicious?"
"What did you say?" The scholar Cheng pointed at Guo Luoluo, annoyed and angry, "You are a woman who shows your face, but you still have a sense of shame?"
So disrespectful! I must make you look good!"
"Good good..." Guo Luoluo blushed, "I want to see if your bones are really that hard!"
The old man watched them forget him directly, the other leg also stepped out of the fence, his feet were close to the fence, and only his hands grasped the fence for stability.
When the young girl saw him standing outside the fence, she fell to the ground and cried, "Dad—" and immediately drew everyone's attention back.
The old man leaned back and shouted, "If you don't tell our father and daughter today, I will jump off this mountain! I won't let you go even if you are a ghost."
"Don't!"
"Don't jump!"
"Come back!"
The old man glared at them frantically, "Speak! How can you pay for my daughter's innocence!"
These scholars all have a bright future, how could they be willing to get involved with an ordinary peasant girl?
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Wei Yi, the scholar who had contact with the woman.
The scholar who saves people is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face is still immature, and he is extremely flustered, "I, I am saving people, how can I harm people's innocence?"
Guo Luoluo glanced at these unpromising scholars, took a step forward and forced: "If you want to jump, jump and see who will ignore you; but you If you want to use this threat to achieve your goal, it is absolutely impossible!"
Rong Xin looked at this scene, shook her head slightly, and said to Jingxi: "You niece, your actions are too rigid and aggressive."
Guo Luoluo is the granddaughter of Anhe Prince Yue Le, no one can do anything to her, but if someone really jumps down from her, a little girl her age can pass Is that a hurdle?
"Your Majesty." Rong Xin lowered his voice and said, "My eighth brother concealed his identity, so it is inconvenient to intimidate that person, please solve it as soon as possible, and don't make trouble."
"What you said makes sense." Jingxi nodded, stepped forward, bowed his hands at the old man, and said, "If the old man has what he wants, it is better to come back, with me as the middleman, How about we discuss together?"
Guo Luoluo pouted, "Why are you talking nonsense with such a person?"
A fan looked at her head, Jingxi said lightly: "Shut up."
"Uncle—" Guo Luoluo glanced at Brother Eight out of the corner of his eye, feeling rather shameless, "How could you hit me on the head in front of so many people?"
"I'm your uncle, why not teach your niece a lesson?"
When the eighth brother heard her call "uncle", he immediately looked at her with burning eyes, but then thought that they appeared here by such a coincidence, his eyes darkened and he lowered his head.
"You people don't take our father and daughter seriously at all!" The forgotten old man shouted angrily, "Are you kidding me?"
Jingxi retracted her attention and looked at the old man, "I really didn't take you seriously."
Rong Xin looked up at the sky speechlessly, just now she said she was right, but at this time, she was exactly the same, and she was her uncle and nephew.
And Jingxi didn't care about other people's feelings at all, and continued: "These scholars only know how to read, without passing people like you, but the king of this county has seen a lot. Two choices: one, you Jump down; second, take your injured daughter down the mountain to treat the foot injury, the medical money will be rewarded by the king of this county."
"The county, the county king?"
The old man stammered suddenly, clenched the fence tightly and released it, struggled for a long time, and crawled back in embarrassment.
When he returned to the platform safely, everyone remembered Jingxi's self-proclaimed, and looked at him in surprise, guessing which county king it was.
Guo Luoluo raised his chin and walked to his uncle's side, very arrogantly threatening the father and daughter: "The money my uncle is willing to treat you is already extremely cheap, don't be greedy enough , in the end, there is nothing to say, and there is a prison disaster."
The king of the county is different from a group of ordinary scholars. The old man is quite aware of the times and smiles shyly. He walks humbly in front of Jingxi, kowtows a few times, and pleases: "In front of the prince, the old man certainly doesn't dare to be presumptuous."
Jingxi raised her chin at the guard, and the guard immediately took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it at the old man.
The silver fell two feet away from his legs, the old man hurriedly crawled over to pick up the silver, then stood up quickly, nodded and bowed in thanks, and helped his daughter to go down the mountain.
At this time, the eighth brother stepped up to Rong Xin and a few others, in front of all the scholars, bowed his hands to Jingxi and Rong Xin slightly, and said hello: "The prince, Aunt Rong, never I want to meet here by chance…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Luoluo snorted heavily, "Who met you by chance? We came here on purpose. But if we didn't come, how could we have seen Mr. He so sympathetic and cherishing jade? appearance?"
She also deliberately emphasized the words "He Gongzi" and "Lianxiangxiyu", obviously very concerned.
"Boom."
Jingxi knocked another fan on her niece's head, while Rong Xin lowered her head and chuckled.
The eighth brother didn't expect her to be so frank, after a moment of surprise in his eyes, he showed a gentle smile, bowed his hands to her solemnly, and said: "Thank you girl for protecting each other just now. ."
Just a scholar..."
"Yes, the girl is kind." Brother Eight swept away the alienation of the strange woman and looked at her with a smile.
Guo Luoluo was so ashamed that water dripped from her eyes, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost rubbed.
Jingxi slapped her head with another fan, and before Guo Luoluo's response, he stepped in front of his niece and said to Brother Eight, "Young Master He, right? It's rare. If we meet here today, why don't we sit in my village for a while?"
The eighth brother readily agreed, turned to say goodbye to the scholars, and everyone dared not force him to stay.
Jingxi had already led Guo Luoluo to turn down the mountain, Rong Xin took Dongzhu's hand, and when she walked to the scholars, she smiled at one of the young people: "Rong Yu, aunt is rare. When I see you, do you want to go down the mountain together?"
When Rong Yu heard the words, he nodded quickly, said goodbye to his classmates, and followed Rong Xin down the mountain.
After they disappeared on this platform, the scholars approached the fence again, looking at the group of people who were going down the mountain and sighed—
"I didn't expect Rong Yu to have such a relationship..."
"Isn't everyone saying that Rong Guanshi has a background?"
"Exactly, otherwise how could the Rong family get a yard in the gentlemen's residence? The mountain chief is so lenient..."
They were only surprised by Rong Yu's sudden connection, but they did not show any surprise to "Young Master He".
Apparently, a person they knew for a long time was an extraordinary person who knew a big man, compared to a sudden change of identity of a person who seemed to be ordinary to them, the latter taught them more emotional ups and downs .
On the other side, after a few people walked down the mountain, the eighth brother rode a horse, and Jingxi also distributed a horse to Rong Yu, and then Rong Xin Jingxi and the four were still riding in the carriage.
Rong Xin looked out of the carriage and asked Rong Yu, "How are your grandfather and grandmother?"
"Grandfather fell ill after the winter, and has been raising it. Grandmother is still healthy."
Rong Xin nodded, his father Rong Da really suffered a lot in the early years, and his body will naturally respond intuitively when he gets older.
Brother Eight looked at the two curiously, "Is Aunt Rong Rong Yu's biological aunt?"
"Yes, I am a compatriot with Rong Yu's father." Rong Xin paused and asked, "Do you mind if I tell him your identity?"
"Of course not. When these students enter the court, they will know sooner or later."
As soon as Rong Xin heard it, he introduced to Rong Yu: "This Young Master He is actually His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, hiding his identity and studying in the academy."
Rong Yu has already guessed, so he is not too surprised, but he is not good at salute right away, so he bows his hands to the eighth brother, "His Royal Highness the eighth prince."
The eighth brother pressed his hand and said with a smile, "We are classmates from the past, so don't be too polite."
The relationship between the two of them in the past is unknown, but now it seems that they are very close in words.
Rong Yu followed Rong Xin, and Jingxi sent a guard to inform Rong Sheng that that night, Rong Yu and Eighth Brother stayed at Zhuangzi.
During the period, except for Guo Luoluo, who was extremely reserved, the rest of the people looked as usual and talked normally.
Eighth brother and Guo Luoluo are fiancées after all, it's normal for her to be shy, but after being so coquettish in the daytime, she looks a bit...pretentious.
However, this pair of little children occasionally looked at each other, and the breath exuding from the whole body was obviously bliss.
The next day, earlier than yesterday, the maid knocked on the door of Rong Xin's house again, and after receiving a response, she asked in a low voice: "Female officer, the county king said that there are many fish, so I'm asking if you are going. fishing?"
Rong Xin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her words and agreed.
When she went out, she could vaguely see a few stars in the sky, so as soon as she saw Jingxi, she asked: "Dare to ask the king, what kind of fish is it, it must be here Time to fish?"
"A worm casts a fish, the reward is gratifying, why should you care about time?"
"You look so mysterious..."
Jingxi shook her fan and asked, "How is it?"
"Somewhat nondescript."
The smile on Jingxi's face disappeared instantly, the fan was closed, and she deliberately shook her head and said, "Anyway, I am here with you, and this is the only evaluation I have always made."
Rong Xin laughed and comforted: "It means that you have been like one day for several years. This is a quality that many people can't ask for."
"It doesn't seem like a compliment..." But Jingxi didn't take it too seriously, glanced at the sky, and urged, "Let's go quickly, the fish will run away later."
Ke Rong Xin followed him, stopped only when he reached the garden, and then followed Jingxi to sit on the stone bench behind the rockery with an inexplicable face.
"You are well prepared, but where is this fish?"
The sky was slightly white, but the pond in the garden was completely blocked by the rockery in front of it, making fishing impossible.
"Shh—" Jingxi put her finger on her lips, pointed to the source of the footsteps, and said in a low voice, "Come."
Rong Xin listened carefully, and heard the gentle voice of the eighth brother, "I don't know if Gege invited me here, what's the matter?"
Guo Luoluo said bluntly: "I heard that you and His Royal Highness the Third Prince were in the tea house, I felt that you were gentle and uneasy, not what I expected, but Now that the emperor has already suggested marriage, and you smiled at me yesterday, I want to ask you, do you have a crush on me?"
The eighth brother was silent for a long time before he said: "...Yin Si fell in love with Grid at first sight."
Guo Luoluo didn't reply for a long time, Rong Xin turned his head to look at Jingxi, and saw that his face was full of disbelief, and even mouthed to him: "Fake feelings."
And the next moment, Guo Luoluo's voice sounded from the other side of the rockery: "Since you love me, you should be the only one, and if you treat me well in the future, I will definitely treat me tenfold. Hello."
"However, you are not allowed to touch the personnel and maids previously arranged in the palace. If the emperor intends to refer to you again in the election next year, you must refuse, otherwise I will definitely make you look good!"
Another long silence...
In the end, Brother Eight did not give a positive answer to Guo Luoluo.
Rong Xin and Jing Xi waited for both of them to leave the garden before they walked out from behind the rockery.
"This is what the king said? Listen to the corners of young people?"
Jingxi asked, "Isn't it interesting?"
"You think it's funny?"
"It's not interesting for a girl from another family to say such naive words, but she has Anhe Prince's Mansion as her backing, and even if she is a prince, she doesn't dare to reject her directly. Isn't it interesting?"
Rong Xin was too lazy to talk to him, walked to the edge of the pond, stopped suddenly, and asked, "That fish from yesterday..."
"Yesterday was done yesterday."
A gust of cool wind blew, Rong Xin shuddered, but her expression remained the same, "Why are you doing this?"
"Would it be nice if I could see the true face of my fiancé before the big wedding?"
Isn't "Huh-" self-defeating?
