Chapter 104: One Hundred and Four

On August 20, General Shi Ben left Beijing with his wife. On the same day, Chen Hao and Ruxi finally returned to the house in the north of the city, which was their home.

Chen Hao actually didn't have much time to stay at home, probably saw that there was nothing to help, so he kissed Ruxi's forehead and rushed back to the yamen of the criminal department. โ€

Cai Wan's face changed slightly in an instant: "Why did the girl remember that incident?" โ€

Ru Xi saw Cai Wan's expression, and the original guess became more determined: "You know, we live in Jiang Yuexuan in the Shi family, I felt that there were some things in my heart from the first day, but I couldn't think clearly, or last night Chen Hao mentioned the color of my Kodan, and I remembered the aunt who was particularly fond of dyeing nails before." โ€

"Well," Cai Wan bowed her head in response, "Actually, that Aunt Su is not a good person. I didn't see it with my own eyes, and there wasn't just that human life in that brute's hands anyway. โ€

"Picking?" Ru Ji called her again in confusion, and Cai Wan regained a somewhat depressed appearance after being surprised, could it be that something has happened in the past few days, "What's wrong with you?" Get up on the wrong side of the bed? โ€

Cai Wan shook his head: "It's nothing." โ€

Ru Ji thought for a while: "Is it related to Brother Run?" What happened to him? โ€

Cai Wan still lowered his head: "It's nothing, he and I can't say anything about it." โ€

Ru Ji frowned and said, "Haven't you been taking care of it at home these days?" He doesn't care about you? Saying that, Ruji's heart also sank slightly. asked Cai Wan to return to the north house of the city from Pu Wei Ji, although he wanted Cai Wan to sink his heart, but also wanted to try Chen Run's thoughts. Could it be that after the times change in this life, Cai Wan and Chen Run still have no fate?

Cai Wan didn't answer, and after being silent for a while, he finally raised his head, his eyes were already red: "Xiancao has seen him with the woman next to him, Xiancao said, the woman is very delicate, he- he seems to be very happy." When the last few words came out, Cai Wan was almost about to cry, gritted his teeth and covered his face with a silk, and turned his head.

When Ru Ji heard this, her heart was also cold. Between the three lives of Cai Wan, the only lover who has ever been in love is Chen Run, and he is full of regret and concern because of Shi Zhonglang's evil deeds. But in this life, Chen Run has another fate, is Cai Wan's full of thoughts still going to be disappointed?

However, the so-called sadness and sigh in Ruji's heart are just a moment.

What's the big deal if you can't fall in love?

The ancients said well, if the son does not think about me, will there be no one else?

Modern people say better, there are thousands of Chinese sons and daughters, if this doesn't work, let's change it! Three-legged โ–กโ–ก are hard to find, and two-legged men run all over the ground. Now that Ruji has money in her hands, Cai Wan is young and beautiful, will it be difficult to find a marriage?

It's just that Cai Wan is sad in front of him, and it is indeed inevitable. Ru Ji restrained the bold words in her heart, and comforted her gently: "The matter of fate is reluctantly not come." What Xiancao saw may not be really Brother Run's love, maybe it may be a distant relative. Don't worry, I'll just ask. โ€

Cai Wan shook his head: "It's not a relative, if it's a relative, why wouldn't he tell me?" I don't want to ask, girl, we still don't have a fate. I don't want to either, I can serve you for the rest of my life in the future! โ€

Ru Xi patted her hand: "Don't think about it. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Chen Run really has another relationship, let's just find a good one. Where can you be for a man who is not good enough for you, you feel that there will be no marriage in the future, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense. โ€

Cai Wan remembered all the changes in her past and present lives with Chen Run, but she felt even more sad, gritted her teeth and got up: "Girl, I'll go back first." โ€

Ru Ji knew that it was useless to talk too much at this moment, so it was better to ask Chen Run what was going on first, so she also got up and went to the door to call Magenta: "Accompany Cai Wan back and take care of her." โ€

Cai Wan's tears were completely unbearable, and he immediately covered his face and walked quickly.

Ru Ji looked at her back, and felt uncomfortable, thought about it carefully, and didn't wait for another day, directly asked Xia Yin and Lingzhi to accompany her, and took the carriage to Pu Wei Ji.

The house in the north of the city is not too far from Pu Weiji, and when Ru Ji arrived, it happened to be when the number of customers gradually increased in the afternoon, but when he entered the store, he only saw Chen Run's main assistant, a guy named Erzhu.

"You're here, host. Hello Miss Xia. Erzhu's appearance is not too delicate, but his eloquence is very flexible, and when he saw Xia Yin accompanying Ruxi into the door, he immediately greeted him.

"Where's Chen Run?" Ru Ji looked around the store, people came and went, the table was almost eighty percent full, and only two small tables in the corner were still empty. The stalls outside the store are familiar, and it seems that they have only started selling seasonal fruits such as melons, pears, and peaches near the door in recent months. Ru Ji knew that there might be the eyes of the Criminal Department or the Jingzhao Yamen, secretly monitoring Pu Weiji's regular customers.

Thinking of this, Ruji couldn't help but feel a little upset. It's just a simple teahouse, how can it cause so much trouble? If it was an ordinary drunken fight, it would be fine, and the martial arts masters of Qin Xizhi and his wife also came, and the Anti-Theft Department of the Criminal Department was also observing Pu Weiji. No wonder people say that the gun shoots the first bird, this restaurant is so good and attractive that it can actually cause trouble.

After glancing at the counter again, Chen Runping was standing there, and the emptiness made her a little irritable. It is true that Chen Run suffered a loss under Shi Zhonglang in his previous life, Chen Run himself is very capable and good, but in the final analysis, she went to find and even pull Chen Run to pick it up. Now things have come to such a situation, which is really a trick.

Seeing that Ruji's face was not very good-looking, Erzhu stepped forward and explained two more sentences: "The owner, the shopkeeper doesn't go out every day. It's a coincidence. โ€

Ru Ji waved her hand, went directly to the back of the counter, and flipped through the account book. Pu Weiji's income is still good, and Chen Run's handwriting is becoming more and more neat and organized. Ru Ji turned a few more pages, and saw a corner of blue satin peeking out under the other booklet. When you reach out and pull it, it is a man's purse.

Since Ruji has inherited the memory of the original owner, she has somewhat retained some sensitivity to embroidery. Although she would not and did not want to continue her research on needlework and embroidery, she quickly recognized that the two clumps of bamboo and the bamboo leaves on it were the stitches of the harvest.

Generally speaking, purses have several functions, some are put some herbs and spices, and they are brought to the body to repel mosquitoes and insects, and they are also elegant and clean. There is also a kind of stuff inside, similar to Xuejin pills, snuff bottles, or other important small seals, small tokens, and silver coins and silver tickets.

The purse in front of me doesn't look particularly new, it should have been used for a while, even if there were spices and herbs that used to have lost their taste, and it doesn't look like this thickness is used to hold medicinal herbs.

What does Chen Run mean by leaving this purse in the store? Could it be that he was going to see someone, so it was inconvenient for him to carry this purse with him?

As soon as Ru Xi thought of this possibility, the anger in her heart became a little stronger, so she opened the purse and looked at it. There were a few dried bamboo leaves and spices inside, and a Fang Sheng folded into Xue Tao's note.

After hesitating for a moment, Ru Ji still reached out and opened Fang Sheng, only to see that the middle of the paper turned out to be a rouge lip print.

It seems that Chen Run is really someone, Fang Sheng who sent lip prints in this era? Can this be a woman of a good family? Even in modern times, this is bold enough.

Strictly speaking, Chen Run and Cai Wan do not have a marriage contract, and it is not his fault that he has another sweetheart. But since Pu Wei Kee opened, Cai Wan made him at least three purse sachets and other small things. If Chen Run has no intention of picking flowers, why should he send back those bits and pieces of embroidery thread, hairpins and tassels? If so, what is this?

The more Ru Ji thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and beckoned Xia Yin to come to her and whispered a few words, Xia Yin was a little surprised, but immediately nodded.

At this time, Chen Run returned. Seeing Ru Ji behind the counter at a glance, Chen Run's face was a little embarrassed, but he still stepped forward and arched his hand: "Boss, I went out today because I was in a hurry." Should the store be okay? โ€

Ru Ji looked him up and down a few times, dark green gown, light gray square scarf, no pendant around his waist, but he looked simple and down-to-earth as usual. But the more this is the case, the more Ru Ji feels unsteady in her heart. If the appearance is not leaky, but behind the scenes, there is a secret warehouse, what is the difference between it and Shi Renlang's scum?

"Come up and talk." Ru Ji didn't want to say anything to Chen Run in the lobby in the end, so she went directly to her "office" on the second floor.

After entering the room, Ru Ji eased her face a little, asked the guy to serve tea, and asked Chen Run to sit down: "Brother Run, you have been doing it in Pu Wei Ji for more than half a year, and you are doing a good job." You're not too young now, have you ever thought about your life's events? โ€

Chen Runqing's face was slightly hot, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed: "I...... I don't have much savings, and I don't dare to think about it now. But...... It's all up to the girl. โ€

Ru Xi was silent for a while, Chen Run's reaction seemed to be a little familiar, and it seemed to be similar to the appearance of Xu Jie when he was married in the first life. What does this mean, Chen Run still wants to marry Cai Wan?

After all, the proprietor has always been in charge, and they are all maids and stewards, and among the maids, the one who is most familiar with Chen Run and most like a marriage is naturally Caiyun.

"By the way, what were you going to do just now?" Ru Ji suppressed all other speculation and asked head-on.
