Chapter 36 Response
Yin Zijin lay on the bed to recuperate for three days. On the third evening after drinking the green mugwort, Xiaolan was fanning Yin Zijin, and Nanny Zhou was feeding him bird's nest and red date porridge spoonful by spoonful. Ruhe stood aside and secretly winked at Yin Zijin.
Yin Zijin's face was pale, without any makeup on. She just tied her hair into a simple bun to make it look less messy. Thin bangs like air bangs fell on Yin Zijin's white forehead. With a raise of his head, a frown, and a flicker of his eyes, the frail Yin Zijin looked even more pitiful, as if he had a myriad of emotions.
Yin Zijin saw Ruhe's eyes signaling, and after finishing the bird's nest and red date porridge, he raised his hand to take the handkerchief from Madam Zhou and said, "Madam Zhou, let me do it! Although I don't have the strength, I can still wipe your mouth."
After wiping her mouth, Yin Zijin looked out the window boredly. The golden light of dusk shone through the window into the house, casting a layer of golden light on the entire house. The golden light shone on Yin Zijin's body, giving Yin Zijin a sense of poignancy.
Yin Zijin blocked the sunlight with her hands and said to Nanny Zhou: "Madam Zhou, let Ruhe sleep with me tonight! It's really boring to stay in the house these days, and you don't let Zijin go out..."
Nanny Zhou had sensed Yin Zijin's inner distress and quickly responded, "Okay, let Ruhe sleep with you tonight to help you relieve your boredom."
When everyone was asleep at night, Ruhe secretly got up from the chaise longue and sneaked into the bed.
Yin Zijin was worried and had not slept yet. When he heard the noise outside, he quickly opened his eyes.
Ruhe walked up to Yin Zijin, helped her up, leaned her against the bed, and then lowered her voice and said: "Miss, I have been going to Xiaohongmen to get things frequently these days, and I have established a good relationship with the doorman. Tomorrow, the master and the eldest young master will come to Bihexuan to see you. You must seize the opportunity and let the eldest young master help you get out of your current predicament.
I heard that in two months, the old maid from the palace will come and say she wants to bind your and Seventh Miss’ feet! Girl, you have to come up with a solution within these two months, otherwise you will really be entangled into a three-inch golden lotus after two months. ”
Yin Zijin said excitedly: "Is the news true? Will they really come tomorrow?"
Ruhe also said with some doubt: "It should be true. I heard that the Sixth Miss was sick these days. Aunt Li has been begging in front of the master, saying that the girl is fine, how could she be sick? She clamored to see the Sixth Miss and even went to the lady.
Why! In the past, Aunt Li was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw the Madam, but now she is willing to risk everything for the girl and even dares to make a scene in front of the Madam. Madam was afraid that the situation would get out of hand, so she agreed to let Aunt Li come to see you. The master was also a little worried, so he said that you can come together tomorrow.
Young Master, you know as well as I do, young lady, that although you meet and communicate less often, I have always doted on you and Seventh Young Lady since you were young. You and Seventh Miss were fine, but something as big as this happened. How could the eldest master not be worried? So I begged Madam to come and meet you and Zijin. ”
Yin Zijin said: "A mother is strong, but Aunt Li's life will be even more difficult in the future. Ruhe, whether this news is true or not, we must prepare in advance. This is my only way out. And, Ruhe. Thank you for your willingness to help me."
Ruhe tidied up Yin Zijin's bangs and said distressedly: "On the night when you first drank the green wormwood, you supported your sick body and begged me desperately. I really couldn't bear to see you suffer.
Besides, you are a man, not a woman. You are just a victim of the inner house struggle. I am just doing my best to help the girl. I hope the girl can achieve what she wants. ”
Yin Zijin took Ruhe's hand gratefully and said, "Thank you, Ruhe. I really appreciate your help. But I'm afraid something will happen to you. I'm afraid that Zhang will know that you helped me and it will be bad for you.
But don't be afraid. Ma Liu is your grandmother. She has a lot of leverage over Zhang. Zhang won't touch you easily. ”
Ruhe said: "Don't worry, young lady, I will be fine. If things get worse, I will ask the eldest master for help."
Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided. Ruhe, is there any pen and paper in the room? I'll write a few words and secretly give it to my brother tomorrow."
Ruhe said, "The girl has some, I'll go get it."
After a while, Ruhe took the brush and rice paper and placed them on the small stool in front of the bed. Yin Zijin said as she wrote: "Ruhe, can you help me check my handwriting and see if it's correct?"
When Yin Zijin wrote it, he saw the words: "Today at 1:00 pm, see you in the small garden outside Bihexuan."
The characters are not written neatly, but at least they are traditional Chinese characters. Yin Zijin took the small note and showed it to Ruhe: "Ruhe, check it and see if there are any typos."
Ru He looked at it seriously, chuckled and said, "Okay, young lady, it doesn't matter if there are two or three typos. I don't know as many words as you do! The eldest master is so smart that he can understand what you wrote.
Girl, you should think carefully about your future. Should you leave the Yin Mansion and live there? Or you can stay in the Yin Mansion as a guest in another place. Anyway, with Madam's constant pressure, you can't stay in the Yin Mansion any longer. Otherwise, you can only follow Madam's wishes and bind your feet...
The girl still needs to think about it carefully. She is only five years old now. Her appearance is no different from other girls. Her body has been transformed by the green wormwood and is very weak. She needs a lot of precious tonics to nourish her body.
There were many kidnappers in the Great Sheng Dynasty. A girl with such a body was the favorite and most curious thing among the powerful and wealthy. If she was kidnapped, her life would be ruined.
It seems that you are not independent at all, girl. You should think carefully about your future! Let’s see what should happen in the future? ”
Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Thank you, Ruhe, thank you for thinking so much about me. I have already thought about these things. Ruhe, come closer and I will tell you."
