"The Warbling of the Oriole" - Chapter 024

Qi Shixiang waited outside Ruying's courtyard for two days. On the third day, Madam Yu sent a maid to Ruying's courtyard to ask her questions.
Ru Ying could no longer keep up the act, so she stopped applying powder to her face to make herself look sick. Instead, she specially chose a silk crepe dress with butterflies and flowers, and wore a cherry-pink satin jacket with a cinched waist and long sleeves over it. Her black hair was slightly gathered, with pearls lightly strung on it, and the delicate tassels hanging down by her temples added a touch of liveliness.
The maid was delighted and said, "Miss looks very beautiful in this outfit today."
Ru Ying looked at her reflection in the mirror; her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, showing no sign of illness. When she went to her mother's place, she was afraid that her words might give her away, so she said, "If Mother likes it too, that would be wonderful."
The maid covered her mouth and said, "Of course, Madam likes Miss to look like this."
Ru Ying led her maid to the Yu family's courtyard, only to find the Yu family sitting in the flower hall receiving guests, none other than the Cen family.
As Cen Shi watched Ru Ying step into the flower hall, the hall instantly brightened. Her long, slender skirt swayed like ripples on water, revealing just a glimpse of her toes. A ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) adorned with butterflies and a hundred flowers made her appear graceful and ethereal, exuding a vibrant spring atmosphere.
Madam Cen was delighted. Before Ruying could even bow to her, she stood up, took Ruying's hand, and said, "Good child, I heard you weren't feeling well. I wanted to come see you yesterday, but something came up and I only got around to it today. Your brother Yunzhou is here too."
In reality, since the An family sent someone over that day, Cen Yunzhou had been restless. Overwhelmed with thoughts, he kept spinning around in front of Madam Cen. Madam Cen had no choice but to visit at the last minute today.
Ru Ying blushed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Madam. It's nothing serious. I was probably feeling a little unwell this morning because I was chilly at night. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. My mother also called a doctor, and he said there's nothing to worry about."
"Good, good." Madam Cen nodded and said, "It's good that you're alright, otherwise Yunzhou would have been worried sick."
After speaking, Cen looked at Yu with a smile.
Madam Yu said, "Yunzhou is in the front hall. If you have nothing to do today, why don't you go out for a stroll with Yunzhou?"
After giving a few more instructions, Ruying agreed and went to the front hall with her maids and servants.
Cen Yunzhou, somewhat absent-minded, didn't touch the tea in front of him and got up to wait for her in the courtyard. He had just stepped out the door when he saw her:
She walked slowly, her graceful figure fluttering in the wind, her fair face and charming eyes, her cherry lips red.
He felt a flush rise to his ears, and suddenly understood the profound meaning of the line in the book, "A day apart feels like three autumns." Overjoyed, he went to greet her, saying, "Sister Ruying!"
After being trapped for two days, Ru Ying was finally able to go out. Seeing the handsome young man looking at her eagerly, she was overjoyed. She stopped and stood in front of him, saying, "Brother Yunzhou."
My sister suddenly fell ill that day, and I was very worried. More than worried, I couldn't sleep at all. Then he asked, "Is your sister alright now?"
Ru Ying pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile.
This secret, this little bit of smugness that only she knew about, filled her with a sense of pleasure. Seeing that he seemed genuinely worried, she wanted to tell him that she was perfectly fine.
When he saw Yingying smiling, he was stunned and didn't know what to say.
She silently called him a fool, and said, "Brother Yunzhou, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."
The two walked and talked, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Seeing Qi Shixiang staring at the two figures in front of him, Qi Shilu said, "What are you looking at, Third Brother? I've seen you watching from afar for quite a while."
"Who is that person?" Qi Shixiang raised his chin.
Qi Shilu recognized Ruying at a glance and said, "Oh, it should be my cousin Ruying."
"another."
"Huh? It looks like Cen Yunzhou!"
"know?"
“I know him. He was my classmate in Jinan. He seems to be very close to my cousin Ruying. The day we arrived in Anyuan, I ran into them on the official road leading into the city. It seems they came from Qianfo Temple together…”
Before Qi Shilu could finish speaking, he saw that Qi Shixiang had already walked a few steps away.
