Chapter 158
Not long after, the waiter came up with a tray with a pot of hot tea and several plates of exquisite snacks on it. After placing the food on the table, he bowed, put a flattering smile on his face, and said to the two people: "Please enjoy your meal, sirs. The food will be served in a while." After that, he walked out.
At this moment, a peaceful and elegant tune was heard from outside, and the voice was singing in a humming voice, as if the farce just now had never happened.
The entire inn returned to peace, and the guests continued to enjoy the food and chat happily. Yin Zijin leaned on the thick pillow, looking through the window at the snow outside, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart.
He stared out the window blankly, his thoughts drifting away, and he thought to himself, "Yes, no matter who leaves this world, the earth will continue to rotate as usual, and people will continue to live as usual."
Sheng Yixuan noticed that Yin Zijin was a little absent-minded, so he patted his delicate hands gently and said softly: "Zijin, stop being dazed. Come, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up!" As he spoke, he picked up the teapot, filled a cup of fragrant jasmine tea for Yin Zijin, and handed it to him.
Yin Zijin finally came back to his senses, nodded slightly, picked up the blue and white porcelain cup, took a sip of the fragrant jasmine tea, and then slowly put down the cup.
He raised his slender white hands and carefully took off the armor on his hands one by one. Yin Zijin has always had a habit of taking off his armor when eating because he always feels it is inconvenient to wear them. Despite having worn them for eight years, he still hadn't quite gotten used to them.
At this moment, the woman who had just been rescued was very sharp-eyed. She quickly stepped forward, bent down, and respectfully took the armor that Yin Zijin had taken off.
Seeing this, Yin Zijin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a kind smile, and said softly and gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm actually very easy to get along with. By the way, I don't know your name yet?"
The woman quickly bowed and replied, "My name is Luo Suyuan."
Yin Zijin was silent for a moment, thinking about something, and then he said, "In our Yin family, younger personal maids usually start their names with the character 'Ru'. Since you are following me now, I will give you a new name. From now on, in our Yin Mansion, you will be called Ru Yuan; and outside the Yin Mansion, you will still be called your original name Luo Su Yuan, is that okay?"
Ru Yuan nodded and quickly knelt down to kowtow: "My lady, I will never forget your kindness. Thank you for taking me in. I will take good care of you in the future."
Yin Zijin picked up the silver spoon, gently scooped up the crystal clear jade dew balls that looked like beautiful jade, one spoonful at a time, and then carefully put them into her mouth.
His movements were gentle and graceful, as if what he held in his hands was not food, but an inestimably precious treasure. Every scoop and delivery of food seemed just right, neither too greedy nor wasteful.
When the ball of jade dew entered her mouth, Yin Zijin immediately put down the spoon and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief. He didn't want others to see him chewing his food, and he didn't want to show any indecent eating habits. This is the reserve and upbringing that a lady from a wealthy family should have.
This is also the result of more than ten years of education by Nanny Zhou. Over the years, Yin Zijin has developed a habit. If he is asked to eat meat and drink wine like a man, Yin Zijin will not be used to it.
However, Yin Zijin noticed that Sheng Yixuan was staring at her intently, his eyes full of curiosity and admiration. So, he smiled slightly, scooped up a spoonful of jade dew balls, slowly stretched it to Sheng Yixuan's mouth, and asked softly: "Master, do you want to taste it too?"
Sheng Yixuan was completely stunned by this sudden action. He widened his eyes and stared blankly at Yin Zijin in front of him.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and there were only the two of them left in the world. He opened his mouth involuntarily and accepted the spoonful of delicious food handed to him by Yin Zijin.
Only when the sweet jade dew ball slid into his throat did Sheng Yixuan come back to his senses. He was aware of his previous misconduct, but he did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment or displeasure. On the contrary, he felt an unprecedented warmth and satisfaction, as if he was completely immersed in happiness.
After Yin Zijin finished eating the jade dew balls, she wiped her mouth with a patty and asked, "Ruyuan, you just said that you have elderly people at home to take care of?"
Ru Yuan's eyes instantly turned red, and she quickly said, "I have an elderly mother at home. I wonder what disease she has. Her belly is swollen, bigger than my wife's belly when she was pregnant for ten months.
My family is poor and we can't afford to see doctors. Now my mother is just trying to get by. "As she spoke, Ru Yuan began to cry softly.
Yin Zijin picked up a piece of cake with silver chopsticks, waved and said: "You haven't eaten yet? Come and have some cakes!"
I know a little about medicine. After dinner, I will accompany you to your home to see your mother! ”
Ru Yuan took the cake and knelt down quickly, saying, "You are a precious girl, how can you go to such a dirty and filthy place? That place might pollute your body."
Yin Zijin waved her hand and said, "A doctor's heart is compassionate, regardless of whether the patient is noble or humble. I am also a human being, not a fairy in the sky. How can I not go to places that you can go to?"
Ru Yuan kowtowed quickly and said, "Thank you very much, young lady. I am willing to serve you like a slave."
After the meal, Ruyuan helped Yin Zijin put on her three-inch slippers. Yin Zijin put her slender hand on Ruyuan's arm and walked out with her three-inch golden lotus steps. Sheng Yixuan walked in front and went to the shantytown outside the city with Yin Zijin.
Ru Yuan looked at Yin Zijin's three-inch golden lotus with eyes full of envy, thinking to herself: "The girl's three-inch golden lotus is tied so well, it's really only three inches, it's not easy to tie these three inches!"
…………
In the Yilan Courtyard at the back of the Yin Mansion, Aunt Feng rested for about an hour before she took Xiaoping's arm and walked towards Zhang's Yime Courtyard with her three-inch golden lotus steps.
Along the way, Xiaoping repeatedly warned her: "Auntie, you must talk to Madam calmly and don't get angry. You must consider the future of Sister Feng and Sister Yao."
Aunt Feng patted Xiaoping's hand and nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
When they arrived at Yimei Courtyard, two maids were guarding the door. When they saw Aunt Feng coming, they quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Aunt Feng."
Aunt Feng said politely, "Madam, I have something to discuss with Madam. Please let her know."
One of the maids said quickly: "Please wait for a moment, Aunt Feng. I will go and inform them first."
