Chapter 270 Leaving
Seeing Su Ruojin, Shangguan Yu smiled slightly, walked around the pillar and came over to salute, "Second Madam."
"How has Master Shangguan been these past two days?"
"Thank you, Madam Second. Yu is much better now. Thank you, Little Prince and Madam Second, for saving my life."
Su Ruojin smiled.
Miss Zhong, who was practicing calligraphy, stood up, lowered her head, and stood behind Shangguan Yu, looking like a young wife.
Uh...why did she come up with such an idea?
Su Ruojin felt that her thoughts were dirty and she smiled guiltily, but she couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yu. He behaved frankly and politely, looking like a gentle teacher.
One was fifteen, the other twenty-seven or twenty-eight, almost twice the age difference; one was a young lady who probably had no chance of ever understanding love, the other was once...
It's impossible no matter how you think about it.
Su Ruojin shook off her reaction just now and smiled again, "Master Shangguan, we will leave for the capital tomorrow morning. The young prince told me before he left that if you recover well, you should go to the capital with me."
It was polite of the young prince Zhao to invite him, but Shangguan Yu knew it was inappropriate for him to go, so he refused with a bow, "The young prince is polite, but Yu's body can't stand the bumps. Please ask the second lady to apologize to the young prince on my behalf."
Shangguan Yu didn't want to go, and Su Ruojin didn't force him, but she said, "This time when I go back, I see that the three teachers in the academy are teaching very well, and Mother Dong happens to be here, so Master Shangguan Yu will stay at the farmhouse for a few more days."
Xishan is not only cool and pleasant, suitable for health care, but also has beautiful scenery. Shangguan Yu really wants to stay for a while and prepare to paint a few more paintings. "Well, thank you for bothering me."
Su Ruojin chatted with Shangguan Yu for a while, and then she went to prepare for leaving tomorrow.
Shangguan Yu turned to Zhong Wanhui's maid and said, "Madam Hui's calligraphy practice ends here today. The weather is hot, so you should take your young master back to his room to rest."
"Yes, Master Shangguan." Qiao Qiao bowed and turned to take his young master to rest.
Zhong Wanhui avoided the eldest maid and followed Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu felt someone behind him, turned around and saw that it was the young lady, who smiled gently, "Madam Hui, the teacher is going to take a rest, and will come out in the evening to teach you calligraphy."
Zhong Wanwan picked at her fingers, tilted her head slightly, stared at the young man with a shy smile, and refused to go back to her room.
Shangguan Yu shook his head and coaxed her like an elder, "Madam Hui, you can practice calligraphy again after you wake up. Don't you want to learn calligraphy from the master?"
The young lady nodded her head, her clear big eyes staring at the teacher who was as bright as the moon without blinking, as if asking, is it true?
"Of course it's true." Shangguan Yu felt very sympathetic towards this young lady who looked fifteen years old but actually had the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old.
Although the young lady got the assurance, she was still reluctant to leave and stared at him with her eyes full of love.
Shangguan Yu reached out and touched her head, "Go ahead."
The young lady was finally relieved after being comforted, and happily went back to her room with the maids and the old woman to rest.
Shangguan Yu sighed deeply and turned back to his room. He suddenly realized that everyone has their own sufferings, and the young lady in front of him will always stay at the age of six or seven and will never be able to grow up in her life.
A lifetime, just live like this.
Fan Yanjia and Ningning heard Su Ruojin talking to Shangguan Yu in the Fengyu Pavilion and realized that she had returned.
The two looked at each other guiltily.
Fan Yanjia caught up with Su Ruojin, "Ajin, I thought you and your teacher were going directly from the county to the capital."
Su Ruojin glanced at Ningning who avoided her gaze and smiled, "So when do you plan to return to the capital?"
Fan Yanjia quickly replied, "Tomorrow."
Su Ruojin didn't comment, but reminded them, "Get up early tomorrow. We'll leave early in the morning. Hurry up and pack your clothes and other things. Don't forget anything."
"good."
Su Ruojin glanced at the two of them again and said, "Have dinner early tonight and come to the canteen as soon as possible."
"good."
No matter what Su Ruojin said, Fan Yanjia replied with a guilty conscience: "Okay."
Su Ruojin smiled and went about her own business.
In the afternoon, she not only inspected more than 100 mu of vegetable fields, but also asked the village head to talk about fertilization and watering. "I will go back to Beijing this time, and it will take six or seven days to go back and forth. I will leave these to you, Dad. Please help check them."
"Don't worry, Madam Jin. I can't say anything else, but fertilizing and watering are still possible."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Dad."
Early the next morning, Mother Dong prepared breakfast for Su Ruojin and his group, so that they could eat well and set off early.
Shangguanyu saw him off.
Just as everyone was waving to each other, Zhong Wanhui discovered that Shangguan Yu did not get on the carriage. She hugged her aunt's arm, pointed at Shangguan Yu and said, "Get on the car... get on the car..." She kept saying these words anxiously.
Normally, this little girl would just stand there and not speak, just like any normal person. In fact, because of her prominent family background, she would look like a rich lady wherever she stood. But once someone looked at her or she talked to others, her lack of intelligence would immediately show up.
No one expected that she would stick to Shangguan Yu. Seeing that he refused to get in the carriage and that her aunt didn't care, she turned around and was about to jump off the carriage, scaring the maids and servants into a mess.
Ningning: ...
How could she explain to her sister when she got home? The person she wanted to pester was obviously Su Ruojin, so how did he become an old man?
Shangguan Yu didn’t know what Ningning thought of him. If he knew, he didn’t know how he would feel.
Su Ruojin frowned, and she wanted to see how Ningning would solve it.
Ningning hugged her niece and signaled Shangguan Yu to leave quickly.
When they parted, the child showed his emotions. Shangguan Yu apologized and advised in the tone of an elder as he left, "Madam Hui, remember to practice calligraphy. Have a safe journey."
Zhong Wanhui insisted on going down and struggled violently. Although she had the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old, she was not like a real six or seven-year-old child. During the struggle, she was not good at expressing herself and could only shout “ah...ah...”
Shangguan Yu looked at the struggling young lady. Although he felt reluctant, that was how the child was. She would be sad for a while, but she would be fine soon after she could no longer see her. He smiled gently, as if to comfort the sad young lady.
The young lady struggled even harder.
Ningning asked the coachman to drive away quickly.
“Ah…ah…”
The young lady's voice slowly faded away in my ears.
Amid Miss Zhong's struggle, the convoy left the farmhouse and headed towards the capital.
Shangguan Yu climbed up the hillside and came to the entrance of the farmhouse. He turned around and looked at the carriage team that was getting smaller and smaller. The lively farmhouse suddenly became quiet again. For a moment, he seemed a little uncomfortable.
He shook his head, turned around and entered the farm house.
In the evening, Su Ruojin met with her family at Zhang's Inn.
When the maids helped Zhong Wanhui down, she looked like a withered flower. Ningning was so scared that she started crying, "Ah Hui... Ah Hui... What's wrong with you? Say something!"
The young lady had dull eyes and didn't say a word, like a piece of wood. Su Ruojin was also frightened and refused to eat a single bite at lunch.
"Still refusing to drink water?"
The eldest girl Qiao Qiao cried, "From this morning till now, he has refused to drink even a drop of water."
You can survive without food for a day or two, but not drinking water can be fatal.
