Chapter 40: Fortune makes people yearn for lovesickness
Alas, Chu Chakun was the only one with a sharp eye and no thought of subduing Ren Xi.
The second master praised himself, shook his head and entered the archives room. The sour scholar was working hard on the side, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.
"This chair..." The second master stood in front of the desk and raised his eyebrows: "You replaced it so quickly?"
Suan Xiucai raised his head and replied quickly: "Didn't you say that the one you were sitting on before was uncomfortable? I told Master Dong and she immediately changed it for you."
The second master nodded, "Okay, it's none of your business." It was quite efficient.
The sour scholar was puzzled, the second master was... suddenly happy again?
Looking at it again, the second master was still smiling.
Hey, the second master's temper is really weird. Can he be made happy with just a chair? It's easier to make him happy than Fu Hui.
"What are you looking at! Do your work!" The second master raised his face and saw the sour scholar looking at him like a monster, and immediately yelled at him fiercely.
The sour scholar bowed his head in humiliation, why was he so happy? His temper was as weird, unpredictable, and unpredictable as before. Master Dong was the only one who could tolerate the second master's temper.
The second master was bored and spent the whole morning in the archives room. Near noon, Ren Xilai knocked on the door and realized that it was time for lunch.
After following Ren Xi to the dining room, the second master asked casually, "When will Dong Lingye come back?"
Ren Xi said: "Your Excellency didn't tell you before he left, so we didn't know either."
The second master frowned. Are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't say anything. If you can, just don't come back.
After taking two mouthfuls of rice, the second master said that he had no appetite and left again with a sullen face. Ren Xi and Fugui were left staring at each other with big eyes. Ren Xi even wondered if there was something about the food she cooked that was not to the second master's taste, but before
She did the same thing, which was really strange.
Uncle Chang looked at the second master's leaving figure with a smile and sighed softly.
Three hundred years ago, a Buddha once said, "The first best thing is not to meet each other, so that you don't fall in love. The second best thing is not to know each other, so you don't have to miss each other."
Fortune plays tricks on people.
After leaving the dining room, the second master felt depressed. He walked in the courtyard and stared at Lingye's room door. He looked around and saw no one or ghost, so he quietly approached the door of Lingye's room.
He put his hand on the door lock, hey, it wasn't locked, it just opened.
The second master was stunned, he didn't mean it, he just tried to unlock the door, then if the door opened... it was not his intention.
But now that it has been opened a crack, the second master always feels unwilling to close it again.
He just wanted to help Dong Lingye check whether the door was locked. If she left in a hurry and it was not locked, he could still help her, right?
But what if Dong Lingye deliberately left the door unlocked?
Seeing that Dong Lingye is usually such a cautious person, how could he forget such a thing?
Dong Lingye must have left the door unlocked on purpose! Anyway, the second master just comforted himself like this, so that he could relax.
The fact that she didn't lock the door means that there is nothing valuable in the room, right? Then he can go in and take a look?
His body was working faster than his mind, and the second master had already stepped into Lingye's room, without any intention of sneaking into the girl's room.
He took a general glance and found that the structure and design of his room were the same. There was nothing special about it. The second master looked familiar at the chair in front of the desk and stepped forward to take a closer look.
Isn't this the one in his archives? Could it be that Dong Lingye took her own chair and replaced it?
The second master scratched his head. This chair was not comfortable at all. Why should he change it? If he didn't have the same chair, why would he give it to her for her own use?
The second master couldn't explain how he felt in his heart. It seemed that someone else was so kind to him, but he was always plotting against them.
Guilt? Shame and regret? Anyway, the second master is not feeling well at the moment.
He leaned down on the table sadly and saw a red sandalwood box, the size of a palm.
It was deep purple, with clear and dense stripes, shiny and reflective, and the entire box was carved with patterns on five sides. He didn't recognize the patterns on it, they looked like dragons, tigers, clouds and immortals.
Just looking at the box, I feel mysterious, simple, quiet and solemn.
What's in the box?
Everyone is curious. Er Ye knew that he shouldn't open it, but another voice told him, open it, open it, and see what's inside.
The second master’s hands are always so free-thinking, and with a click, the box opens.
Inside lies a black jade ring with mysterious patterns engraved around it, like a totem symbol. The ring seems to have a soul, as if there is a trace of spiritual energy swimming inside, exuding a compelling power and awe, making people fall to the ground.
Worship.
The second master didn't feel like kneeling down to worship, so he was thinking, this finger ring suits him very well, how about giving it a try?
No, no, it's already a shameful and ridiculous mistake to peek at other people's things. How can you make the same mistake again and again? Just take a look. If you want it, wait for Dong Lingye to come back and ask her for it.
, she should give it to him——
"Second Master? What are you doing here?" Ren Xi stood at the door and looked into the room curiously, "Is the master back?"
Ren Xi suddenly made a sound. The second master felt guilty for no reason. He got excited and dropped the box on the table. It didn't matter if he dropped the box, the key was that the ring inside rolled down the table.
Ouch, how come Ren Xi happened to see it!
The second master felt regretful in his heart. He should have quickly closed the box and put it back after taking a quick look at it. Also, why did he become so timid and not scared at all?
What about the finger ring? If Dong Lingye lost it, she would have to let Fu Gui eat him alive.
The second master hurriedly walked to the table and looked around for the thumb ring. Ren Xi was confused: "Second master, what are you looking for?"
"Finger ring, a black jade finger ring, look where it fell from the table just now?"
Really, why are there carpets in the house? You can't even hear anything when it falls to the floor.
Ren Xi was puzzled as he looked at the second master who was bending down on the ground and looking for something in a panic, and then scanned around the room.
"Second Master, where is the ring? Nothing fell just now." She was standing right in front of the desk. If it rolled off the desk, she would definitely be able to see it.
The second master didn't bother to pay attention to her, he searched anxiously, and finally found her under the imperial concubine's couch next to the window sill.
"Look, it's this ring." Erye put it in the box and showed it to Ren Xi.
Ren Xi stepped forward, frowned and said to the second master, "Isn't this just a red sandalwood box with nothing in it?"
As soon as she said these words, the second master was stunned.
This, this, this wrench was placed in the box, and he touched it. Did you tell him?
The second master took another look and saw that the finger was lying in the box. It really existed.
He looked at Ren Xi in confusion and saw that her face didn't look like she was lying. The second master was confused.
Could it be that Ren Xi couldn't see it? Or maybe Dong Lingye's treasures are numerous. Could it be that this thing is the same as a ghost and needs to be recognized differently?
"Second Master?" Ren Xi called him.
"Ah?" Er Ye came back to his senses, "What's the matter with you?"
"No, I saw the door of the house open, so I thought it was the master coming back, so I came in to take a look. I didn't expect you, Mr. Er, to be here too."
Moreover, the second master also said that there is no finger-wrestling. Is the second master hallucinating because he is hungry because he doesn’t eat?
"Second Master, do you want to go back to your room and take a rest?" Ren Xi asked worriedly.
"Oh, okay, you clean up for Dong Lingye, I'll go back first."
The second master put the box back to its original place, looked at it thoughtfully, and then turned and left.
Ren Xi looked at the second master's back in confusion as he disappeared into the courtyard. He thought hard for a moment and still couldn't figure out what the second master was talking about. He couldn't figure it out. Ren Xi looked at the room and saw that there was no change. He tidied the table a little and closed the door.
Left and went to the front hall.
An hour later, there were some faint fluctuations in the realm in Lingye's room, and it returned to peace in the blink of an eye.
Ren Xi was dozing off in the front hall when she suddenly sensed something and woke up instantly. She greeted Uncle Chang and hurried toward the backyard. The master was back.
