70. Seventy

Ru Ji was sweet in her heart, but she actually felt that the mountain and forest road behind Jingfu Temple was a little cold, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and see if my wife and they want to go home." ”

Chen Hao accompanied Ru Xi to go back, and as soon as he stepped on the road from the back mountain back to the apse, he saw Shi Renlang, who was wearing a brown cloak, coming over alone, and his eyes stayed on the hands of Chen Hao and Ru Xi for a while, and then he barely maintained a gentle expression: "I heard that Miss Pu is engaged, congratulations to the two." ”

Ru Xi only felt that Shi Renlang was no longer the gentle young man before, and the gloomy aura in his expression at this moment was similar to this day, and he was a little frightened when he looked at it, and instinctively leaned towards Chen Hao again, and then reluctantly responded: "Thank you." ”

Chen Hao also frowned slightly, especially feeling the movements of Ruxi beside him, he simply reached out and grabbed Ruxi's shoulders and helped her to walk towards Yongdao.

Shi Renlang saw that the two of them were becoming more and more intimate, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart: "Grandpa Chen, in broad daylight, you should also be more restrained." ”

Chen Hao was more than two inches taller than Shi Renlang, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping when he heard the words, and helped Ruxi all the way over, only when he passed by, he threw a sentence from top to bottom: "If there are rumors that make people talk, we can get married immediately." Thank you Second Young Master Shi for your concern and borrowing. ”

Shi Renlang stood still in place, his white fist had already clenched his green tendons, and he didn't turn around, but he also replied coldly: "I heard that Grandpa Chen is going to enter the Criminal Department after the year?" It seems that your junior sister has a lot of kind words for you. ”

Chen Hao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he finally stopped, and just as he was about to say more, he felt Ru Xi next to him squeeze his hand.

"Ignore him." Ru Ji raised her head and looked straight into his eyes, and her low voice was firm and gentle, "I know what kind of person you are. ”

Chen Hao looked at the soft smile on Ru Xi's beautiful face, and he couldn't help but smile: "En." Let's go back. Ignoring Shi Renlang anymore, he walked all the way back with Ruxi.

This is about the legendary no-trick win-trick, such as the two simplest dialogues between Ji and Chen Hao, which are far better than a sharp rhetoric to fight back, and complete a home run in the most abusive way. Seeing that Chen Hao and Ruxi were leaving tenderly and sweetly, Shi Renlang stood alone on the cold wind back mountain forest road for a long time before he calmed down and turned back.

The most important thing is to pray for Yan Wei and the real Pu family girl, and at the same time, she can also talk to Chen Haoyi and relieve her lovesickness. As for the small things such as Ruyan and Lu Mao's first encounter with onlookers, Shi Renlang, who later heard about the wind and cold, and Zuo's anxious fire, were not more relieved.

On the day of Laba, it was the first important family banquet of the year. Rushu's body has recovered a lot, Chi cried twice to Pu Yu, and the previous ban on copying books was over, Rushu still changed into new clothes and came out for a reunion dinner.

Ru Xi observed it coldly a few times, and asked a few more questions, and then determined that her guess was purely too big a brain hole. What kind of rebirth crossing, Rushu's sharp eyes at that time should be frightened by Pu Yu's anger and heavy responsibility, about some of the fear of the rest of his life, and he can't hide the feelings that have been hidden in his heart before. Among them, there may be hatred for Ruji, and it may be more likely to be dissatisfaction with Chi and Ruyan. This time, Rushu was beaten and grounded, and the Chi family should not be distressed. But Rushu thought about recuperating for almost a month behind closed doors, Chi and Ruyan only visited two or three times each, and the rest of the time was just to ask Qiu's mother or Shuangying and Shuangcicada to take care of it. If you think about it from Rushu's point of view, I'm afraid it's hard to say who you have more resentment and hatred for at this moment.

However, with the gradual recuperation and recovery, Rushu's little face has plumped up a few points, and the surface work has also been picked up again. Except for the occasional coldness when I shake my head, most of the time I still look like the smiling and sweet three girls again.

As for Cuiliu and Shuang'e, they fell into a new embarrassing situation. It's not because the Chi family is so stingy that they don't even ask them to participate in the Laba family banquet, but because they received a message from Chi's brother Chi Song on the day of Laba, saying that he was about to rush to the capital in person and asked what had happened to the Chi family in the past three months. Why has Ji Jugui been recuperating from illness and has not improved? So how to participate in the Spring Festival in February next year? Why did Cuiliu send a letter to her family asking for money, saying that she had to take the money to make new clothes for the New Year? What's more, why did Inspector Jiyang suddenly turn his face during the assessment of the next year, and gave a middle and lower without hesitation, and only after sending two heavy gifts did the inspector spit out, saying that he had offended the people of Beijing.

It was afternoon when Chi received the letter, and he had just released Rushu if he had just received Pu Yu. also said that he would personally bring the new clothes to Rushu, and when he saw the menacing long letter, it was really a mouthful of blood and stalk in his heart, and the Laba banquet in the evening was just forced to pass with a smile.

Along with the news that Chi Song, the uncle of the Chi family, was about to go to Beijing, there was also the fact that General Shi Ben was going to return to Beijing again to report on his work. The Pu family heard about it so quickly because the Shi family seemed to be in chaos again.

Shi Zhonglang's board almost cost him half his life, and it is good and bad until now. And the letter sent by Mrs. Shi to the Chenzhou army was also lost in the sea, and there was no reply. In fact, things have come to this point, what can General Shi Ben reply to? Jing Zhao Yin's trial was clear, Emperor Xiang had asked in person, and he didn't directly beat Shi Zhonglang to death to save face, even if General Shi Ben was in Beijing, he could only write an excerpt asking for guilt.

But the truth is one thing, feelings and feelings are of course another thing, Mrs. Shi sent three letters to General Shi Ben in a row and did not reply, and when the weather turned cold in mid-November, she also fell ill, and she said that she had recuperated for a few days to see well, who knew that the Laba family banquet had just passed, and I heard that General Shi Ben was going back to Beijing to report on his work, and the old lady's anger was hooked again, and she fell ill again in anger.

The weather is cold in the next year, it is the time when the old and weak women and children are easy to get sick, and the palace is the eldest princess waiting to give birth, and the second princess is pregnant for the first time, and the queen Ming seems to have coughed a few times, so the imperial doctor on duty in the palace has tripled. The only remaining imperial doctor who could be reextended was divided by top wealthy families such as the British Mansion, the Yuguo Mansion, and the Jin Palace, and the Shi family had to hurriedly look for Lang Zhong.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Shi was angry and attacked, Shi Zhonglang's stick sores and legs were injured, Shi Renlang's wind and cold entered the lungs, it was simply that the whole family was sick, and even the relatives and friends who wanted to give New Year's gifts hurriedly added or replaced some tonic herbs, so as to be considered appropriate. At the same time, the three relatives and six relatives are also speculating about what kind of chaos will be when General Shi Ben returns.

On the eleventh day of the lunar month, General Shi Ben, who was burdened with the expectations of everyone's gossip and gossip in the New Year, finally arrived in Beijing. However, he did not go back to the house to freshen up as in previous years, but went directly into the palace to face the saint, and was left in the palace by Emperor Xiang to talk for two hours. On the same day, a physician was sent to treat the Shi family's illness, but General Shi Ben still did not go home, but only sent the guard and his own soldiers to send Emperor Xiang's reward and the New Year's gift he prepared to the Shi family, and then went directly to the Gyeonggi garrison camp.

This situation can be said to be the best deal for General Shi Ben, who sent the New Year's gifts and medicinal materials home with Emperor Xiang's reward, and the old lady didn't dare to say anything to the gift-giving lieutenant sent by the palace no matter how big her temper was. And the imperial doctor gave Shi Renlang and Shi Zhonglang another injection and prescribed medicine, and the situation gradually improved, which can be regarded as being able to ease these contradictions in the family and the old lady's heart a little.

Soon it was the second month of the lunar month, and every household became more and more busy, with colorful lights, appliques hanging red, and the moon dew house was no exception. Ru Xi wrapped a thick red seal for Chaolu Caiyun and other big and small maids according to the number of Huan Ningbo's mansion, and Chen Run, who lived in the backyard of the teahouse, asked Caiyun to send four sets of new clothes and four tea fruits in addition to the silver.

For Chen Run, Xiancao and others, this year's New Year is simply earth-shaking and rich compared with the past.

Only Ruji, although she was happy because of the joy of everyone around her, she was secretly a little sentimental. Before the crossing, she was busy with work and study, and Ruji at that time did not pay much attention to festivals such as the Spring Festival and New Year, but when the family gathered for a family reunion, it was inevitable to think of the original family and friends. Especially seeing that the maids around him have relatives in Beijing, and after arranging the rotation of waiting, they each took a vacation to celebrate the holiday with their families, and Ru Ji felt even more lonely.

After eating the New Year's dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, Ruyan and Rushu each talked to the Chi clan according to Pu Luo, and Ru Gu sat next to her with a tea bowl for a while before returning to Yueluju first. Although she has won the support of the Yan family with the help of her strength, Ru Xi also got back most of Yan Wei's dowry, but at this time of the New Year's reunion, in the end, the Pu Yu Chi family is still a loving husband and wife, and Ruyan Rushu is still a harmonious parent, even if she is no longer bullied, she is just a lonely outsider.

Walking slowly back to Yueluju, the loneliness on Ruxi's face was still revealed. The so-called thinking of relatives every festive season, but the so-called relatives around her at the moment are not relatives.

So the only one worth missing is probably the person in Baifu Lane.

Back in front of the door of the Moon Dew House, the halo of the lights is festive and warm, and the room is also lit with ever-bright candles because of the New Year.

Ru Xi reached out and touched the door, but did not push it open, remembering the surprise that Chen Hao had given her when she followed Chen Run back to Beijing last time. But today should not be, after all, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Hao can not leave his mother Su Sanniang. And although Cai Wan accompanies him, he is probably thinking about Chen Run outside.

Ru Xi turned around and said to Cai Wan gently: "You go to see Brother Run, he doesn't have any relatives." I went back to my room and slept, and I didn't have to be served. ”

Cai Wan's eyes lit up: "Really? Is it okay if I go? ”

Ru Xi smiled and nodded: "Go, it doesn't matter." ”

Seeing Cai Yun's face full of joy and deep blessing, she turned around, and Ru Xi's smile was still a little stiff. Others also want to fall in love, and that's how it should be. It's just this time...... Ru Ji took two deep breaths, then turned around and pushed the door open.

"It's slow!" Familiar voices, familiar embraces.

Ru Xi was pulled into Chen Hao's arms so suddenly, it was a little whirlwind, and she couldn't help but be surprised and happy when she settled down: "You, why are you here?" ”

Chen Hao hugged her and smiled: "I don't worry about you spending the New Year alone." ”

He knew that she was a person, even if she was surrounded by blood relatives, even if she was taken care of by the Yan family, even if the maids and maids were very loyal, she would still feel lonely during the festive season this year.

In this world, he is probably the only one who is really connected to her.

smiled sweetly, and suddenly felt that I was really lucky. With his intentions, what is the shortcoming?

After snuggling in Chen Hao's arms for a while, Ru Xi asked him to let go of his hand: "You come here at this time, won't that lady keep the New Year alone?" ”

The corners of Chen Hao's lips twitched: "There are people at home." ”

Ruji's eyes lit up: "General Shi? ”

Chen Hao nodded: "General Shi was ordered to inspect the Gyeonggi garrison, this is the emperor's grace, and it also has the meaning of helping the general avoid conflicts at home." Therefore, if the general does not return to his house today, he will not complain. ”

Ru Xi pursed her lips and smiled: "Is it okay if the general is not in the camp?" ”

Chen Hao saw her sly smile, and the lotus petal's little face was full of mischievous looks, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch it gently: "Don't laugh at the elders." The general also patrolled on Chinese New Year's Eve, but there was still time for a meal in between. ”

Ru Xi looks at Chen Hao and seems to be a little serious, think about it, now that Su Sanniang is willing to meet with General Shi Ben, maybe she can really achieve good things, if so, isn't it really her future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He also reached out to pinch Chen Hao's face: "Then I'll laugh at you, if you don't accompany the elders on Chinese New Year's Eve, what are you doing here, aren't afraid of the elders beating you?" ”

Chen Hao shook Ruxi's hand: "I can't stay too long, just come and see you." ”

Ru Xi nodded, and also knew that Chen Hao might have sneaked in under some name this time, although the relationship between the two had been decided, it was not good to meet at such a late hour, so he sat down and said a few words of gossip, and took a purse that he had learned to make a few days ago to Chen Hao as a New Year's gift, and hurriedly sent him away.
