After listening to her plan, Ying Hao replied casually: "Okay, if you want to open a few Phoenix Towers, you can open them." “

"Didn't you listen carefully to me? I just wanted to open a store in the capital first, and the principal was lent to me from the account you gave me. I'll pay you back when I'm back. She grabbed Ying Hao very seriously.

"I gave you all the money, and it's all yours, you can spend it however you want. Ying Hao said with a smile.

"That's not the case!" she was anxious, and shouted, "I said that I asked you to borrow it first." ”

"Okay, well, then treat it as if I lent it to you. Ying Hao obviously still hadn't caught her idea.

At last she opened her mouth and said nothing. Ying Hao's attitude, how could she tell Ying Hao, just so bluntly and tell him that the reason why she wanted to be so clear with Ying Hao was to leave a way back for herself in the future? I also knew that the result would inevitably be a quarrel between the two, and the relationship would be discounted. It's right to take precautions, but you can't put the cart before the horse, wouldn't it be that she is making trouble unreasonably.

"Yan Ruyu, you say, am I making trouble unreasonably?" Since the day of the fight, she agreed to make friends with Yan Ruyu, and the two seemed to have tacitly agreed on the location of the "meeting", which is still this teahouse. After being deflated by Ying Hao, she couldn't help but complain to Yan Ruyu.

"Definitely. ”

She glanced at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu smiled: "You will ask me this, isn't it because you already feel that you are making trouble unreasonably?"

She was speechless.

Yan Ruyu said again: "But you don't have to worry too much. Actually, I think it's right that you want to leave a way back for yourself, but you don't need to tell the prince. Now that the two of you have such a good relationship, it's better not to say it. ”

"But Sister Jianghong said that I should not hide it from Ying Hao, and if I said it, I could also make Ying Hao have a score in his heart, which made me even more nervous. ”

Yan Ruyu shook her head and sighed: "Are all women in love so troubled by gains and losses?" Then Yan Ruyu smiled slyly and said, "And you haven't already told the prince that you are going to open the Phoenix Tower, and you haven't hidden it from the prince." ”

Tsk, she suddenly found that Yan Ruyu was very cunning. According to him, he told her to hide half and half to hide. But she had to admit that Yan Ruyu's suggestion was more reliable than Crimson's suggestion. In fact, she failed to communicate with Ying Hao earlier, so she was already more inclined to this approach. It seems that she is quite cunning as well. It's just that earlier she would be very upset in her heart, feeling that she had done something wrong. Yan Ruyu gave her support from a man's point of view. This is different from the crimson who is also a woman, giving her support.

"Yan Ruyu, where did you pop up?" she suddenly stared at Yan Ruyu and asked. After she found that she no longer rejected Yan Ruyu, Yan Ruyu really understood her.

Yan Ruyu's gaze did not dodge, and said with a smile: "In short, it didn't pop out of the stone." ”

"Tsk!" she glared at Yan Ruyu angrily, and then smiled. Moreover, Yan Ruyu can always make her laugh.

"Thank you, I feel so much more relaxed after talking to you. ”

"Why do you and I need to say thank you. ”

She was stunned, Yan Ruyu's words evoked her memories of someone. She suddenly looked at Yan Ruyu very hard for a moment, and finally shook her head, Yan Ruyu was no different from him at all.

"What?" Yan Ruyu caught her gaze.

She shook her head again and said, "Nothing. ”

After that, she began to concentrate on preparing for the Phoenix Tower.

Yan Ruyu would come to the teahouse every once in a while to find her, which inexplicably developed her habit of going to the teahouse every once in a while to sit for a while. The two of them just chatted casually for a while. Yan Ruyu never asked for any help from her in her career again.

One day, at dinner, Ying Hao suddenly asked her, "Have you often met Yan Ruyu in the teahouse recently?"

She was stunned for a moment, carefully observed Ying Hao's expression for a moment, and already had a score in her heart. Ying Hao clearly knew that she and Yan Ruyu would meet in the teahouse every few days. Ying Hao asked, but was he giving her a step?

"How do you know?"

When Ying Hao heard her answer, he immediately frowned, and said, "Xiao Qi has twice gone out to run errands, and I saw you and Yan Ruyu sitting in the teahouse and talking happily. ”

"Oh, I just stumbled into it. In the end, it was someone he knew, and it was not good to pretend that he didn't see it, so he chatted with him for a few words. ”

Ying Hao also looked at her carefully for a moment, and she continued to eat fearlessly. In the end, Ying Hao didn't say anything more. It's just that since this day, she hasn't bumped into Yan Ruyu in the teahouse again.

The so-called gentleman's friendship is as light as water, and the relationship between her and Yan Ruyu is like this. She was not affected in the slightest, and occasionally went to the teahouse to sit down. Unexpectedly, one day she bumped into someone in the teahouse again, not Yan Ruyu.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm curious about what attracts you to this teahouse. Ying Hao sat beside her with his own care.

"Drinking tea in a daze, it's a good place to be clean. Except for the first day, she came by herself every time, and it wasn't all because she might meet Yan Ruyu. After replying to Ying Hao's words, she really stared out the window with her hands on her cheeks.

"Everything about the Phoenix Tower is ready?" Ying Hao's meaning was, "Why are you so idle?"

"I hired Ping'er to be my shopkeeper, and now the store is still being renovated, and Ping'er is responsible for supervising the work, so I don't have to stare at it every day. She replied slowly, still with a stunned expression.

"What about the shops I gave you?"

"Your people are well managed, don't I just have to be responsible for collecting money every month?"

"Are you blaming me for not being with you much lately?"

She finally glanced back at Ying Hao and said in surprise, "Why do you think that?"

"Before, when I was reading official documents in the study, you would stay aside and read. Recently, you'd rather come to this teahouse to sit and be in a daze. ”

"You want me to read a book with you?" she asked with a sudden smile.

Ying Hao didn't speak.

"You want me to be with you, just say it. You don't say how I know you want me to stay with you. If you say it, I'll be with you. ”

Ying Hao shook his head and said suddenly: "I will leave the day after tomorrow and go back to the royal city." Ying Hao didn't ask her if she wanted to go with her.

"Do you want me to come along?" she asked.

Ying Hao asked her rhetorically, "Do you want to go with me?"

"How long are you going?"

"I'll be back in seven or eight days. ”

"What are you doing?"

"The troops that were transferred last time were only temporarily settled in the royal city, and I went to deploy them. Ying Hao looked at her carefully after speaking, and said, "Yan Ruyu will also go with me, and then he will stay in Wangcheng temporarily." ”

She was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Did the Holy Lord promise to make him a general?"

Ying Hao nodded.

"Hah!" she smiled, "that's good news." ”

Ying Hao also smiled and said, "Don't you even ask me how I did it?"

"How could the Holy Lord suddenly let go?" she asked, following Ying Hao's words.

Ying Hao smiled mysteriously, "I won't tell you." ”

"Tsk!" In the end, they went home together, she didn't say it, Ying Hao didn't mention it, she just didn't follow.

Four days later, she never thought that she would bump into Yan Ruyu in the teahouse.

She was really surprised, and suddenly got up from her seat and asked, "Why didn't you go?"

Yan Ruyu pretended to smile lonely, and sighed: "The saint promised on the front foot and changed his mind again on the back foot. It's really like success and defeat. ”

"Oh?"

It turned out that Ying Hao instructed the five princes to teach the princess Ruqin to ask for the saint, and the saint agreed to Princess Ruqin on the spot. However, the next day, the saint asked Princess Ruqin again, asking her if she really wanted Yan Ruyu to be a general, and would she not be reluctant to let Yan Ruyu be a good teacher? As a result, the saint retracted the preface of Yan Ruyu as a general.

"Old fox, just make the princess happy. ”

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Is it really good for you to call the Holy Lord like that?"

"Anyway, you still have to stay up in the study. ”

"No, no, no, how can you say that it's boiling? Actually, it's good to teach in the imperial study. ”

She really didn't know whether Yan Ruyu was ambitious or idle.

"Don't talk about this, why did you come to the teahouse to find me again today?"

"No, no, no, Xiao Sheng just happened to meet the princess in this teahouse, after all, she is someone she knows, and it is not good to pretend that she didn't see it, so she came up to talk a few words. ”

"......" she squinted, always thinking that this sentence was so familiar?

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Isn't that what the princess told the princess?"

"Tsk! Ying Hao told you the original words as they were, okay?" Sure enough, Ying Hao had found Yan Ruyu, and Yan Ruyu didn't come to the teahouse. But at this moment, as soon as Ying Hao's front foot left, Yan Ruyu came again, is it really okay?

"Just like the princess said, we just happened to meet in the teahouse, so why not let people know. Yan Ruyu is like a roundworm in her stomach, and she is not afraid of things than her.

"Aren't you afraid of provoking Ying Hao's suspicion?"

"The princess is terrible?"

"I'm afraid of something, just make a friend, and don't let it go. ”

"So is that little student. ”

"Otherwise, you should quickly find a good girl and get married. ”

Yan Ruyu's eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted: "Xiaosheng's ambition has not been rewarded, so it's better not to rush this matter." ”

"Hah! You're going to have that look on your face. "It's like she's discovered a new continent.

"Actually, Xiaosheng is not in a hurry, it's just that Xiaosheng thinks that it is enough to ask for a wife and only ask for one person to be separated. Xiaosheng just wants to wait for the right one. It's a pity that this person hasn't appeared yet. Yan Ruyu looked at her very seriously when she said this.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and surprised in her heart. This Yan Ruyu can actually say such a thing.

"Wouldn't it be better to have three wives and four concubines?" she asked, with some disbelief.

Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "It's not good." ”

"What's wrong? What man doesn't want to have three wives and four concubines. "This is ancient times, and it is natural for men to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times. The reason why she is always unsteady in her heart is also because she is afraid that Ying Hao's passion for her will dissipate, and she will become a "normal man" again. Maybe a woman in love is really easy to gain and lose.

"If it were a woman, would you want it?"

"Ah......" She really hadn't thought about it, but now that she thought about it, she nodded her head and said, "Maybe, I will." ”

"Tsk!" Yan Ruyu smacked her lips and asked again, "Do you think love can be separated?"

She has fallen into the whirlpool of "three wives and four concubines" if a woman can also extricate herself. It was at this moment that she suddenly realized that she could also be very attentive. In fact, she still thinks of Yao Kai and still has a faint pain in her heart. Why can't women? If only women could too.

Yan Ruyu asked in surprise, "Could it be that you really have someone else hidden in your heart at the same time?"

"Do you know? Asking for only one person and not being separated from the white prime minister is what I want the most. According to this condition, Ying Hao was originally not within my consideration. But I really love him now. ”

Yan Ruyu didn't interject, knowing that she hadn't finished yet.

"But I seem to have really loved someone else. Because women can only end up in one place, I had to make a choice between the two. Actually, if I could, I could have both. ”

Yan Ruyu became more and more silent.

"Have you ever heard the story of the white rose and the red rose? Both are very beautiful, if you can only choose one of the two, choose the white rose, and over time the white rose will become a grain of rice sticky on the clothes, but the red one is a cinnabar mole on the heart. chose red roses, and over time, the red one changed to a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white one was still the bright moonlight in front of the bed. ”

Yan Ruyu still didn't speak.

"I think that's the case with the other person, because I didn't get it, I can't forget it. She suddenly understood the benefits of three wives and four concubines, and she could get them at the same time, and she didn't have to always face one after getting them, which meant that the shelf life of love could be extended. People are like that, right? No matter how much you like something, after a long time, you will get tired of it sooner or later. But before you get completely tired of it, if you change your hands in the middle and play something else, you can still remember it when you look back, and you will never get completely tired of it.

"So, you now admit that you loved the other one?" Yan Ruyu finally spoke.

"Maybe what you just said inspired me and changed my state of mind. Because of my inherent thoughts, I thought that I would only love one in my life, but I put shackles on myself. Thinking about it in another way, a man who has three wives and four concubines may really love more than one woman, and a woman will actually fall in love with more than one man. Because women can't, they can complain about the unfairness of men's actions while forcing themselves. ”

"What if that person appears in front of you now?"

She looked at Yan Ruyu in a daze for a moment, then finally shook her head and said with a smile: "What I said just now is actually just a fantasy. I've made my choice. ”
