66. Sixty-six
Chen Hao?!
Ru Ji was surprised and delighted, and then noticed that Chaolu and Lingzhi were not in the room, and Xia Yue also stayed under the porch without following up, and even closed the door outside intimately.
"You, when did you come back?" Ru Xi hurriedly took two steps forward, but couldn't help but stop and look at him, Chen Hao's handsome face was obviously tired, but the smile was as gentle as usual, and his eyes were full of affection.
"The city I entered this morning." Chen Hao casually put her cloak on the chair, and took a step forward, "I went home to say hello to my mother, and I came to see you with Xiao Run." β
The two of them were only two feet apart, Ru Xi looked up at him, seeing that Chen Hao seemed to have a faint blue under his eyes, and his face also had the color of hard work, and his unconscious voice was three points lower: "Aren't you tired?" Are there any injuries? Have you eaten? β
Chen Hao listened to her soft voice, full of worry in her caution, knowing that she was worried about herself, and the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepen: "I'm fine, what about you, have you been wronged at home?" These daysβ" After a pause, he still asked, but his eight-foot man was also a little embarrassed, "Do you miss me these days?" β
Ru Ji looked at his eyes, her nose was inexplicably sour, but she still nodded.
Chen Hao unexpectedly burst into tears, hurriedly reached out to wipe her away, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Someone bullied you? β
Ru Ji shook her head, leaned her cheek on his hand, and gently reached out to shake his hand: "Is it really not hurt?" β
Chen Hao realized that she was too concerned about herself after not seeing her for a month. In an instant, my heart was sour, and then infinite sweetness slowly poured out: "Silly girl." Reaching out and taking Ruxi in front of him into his arms, he whispered, "Of course I'm fine." This trip was to Jizhou, Yanzhou and Jiangzhou. Because there are many places to run, it has been delayed for a long time. Don't be afraid, I'll be fine. β
Ru Ji snuggled in his solid and warm embrace, and only then did he feel that the heart that had been hanging for dozens of days could finally fall from his throat and eyes, and he hummed for a while: "It's good for you to come back." The next time it's going to take so long, I'll tell you about it. I really...... Some scared. β
Chen Hao hugged her hand and tightened it: "Don't worry, it's this time a year ago." After I entered the criminal department, I went out on errands even less. Thinking of you, I'll take care of myself too. β
The two of them have been separated for more than a month, and they really miss each other deeply, and they have no scruples at this moment, so they hugged each other for a while, and finally sat down separately to drink tea and talk.
With the heart of a woman of the times, Ru Xi didn't think it was a big deal to call Chen Hao's boyfriend or her prospective fiancΓ© for a while, but felt that this month's concern was not in vain after all, and he also missed himself so eagerly.
However, Chen Hao, who seemed to be calm and calm, was slightly red on his face when he drank tea. In the month he was out on business, the weather was getting cold everywhere, and Jiangzhou was humid and rainy, and it was even more difficult to track the road. But there is also comfort in this hard work, that is, in those moments when I can rest a little, I miss waiting for my wife in Beijing for a while. Every time I think of her bright and cheerful smile, her cunning and lively expression, and the gentleness and concern when she is alone, Chen Hao feels as if she has a little more strength. After returning to Beijing today, I hurriedly reported to my mother that I was safe, so I didn't care that I hadn't closed my eyes for two days and nights, and rushed directly to meet Ruji.
As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, and the sweetness of the reunion is really intoxicating, and the feeling of warm nephrite in his arms - Chen Hao drank two cups of tea in one go, only to feel that his heart didn't seem to beat so fast, and his ears were not so hot.
Ru Xi didn't pay attention, just watched Chen Hao drink water very urgently, thinking that he must be working an errand, in addition to renewing the tea, he took out some details, and asked him about this errand. Chen Hao traveled all the way, and didn't care about eating, he was really hungry at the moment, so he didn't be polite to his future daughter-in-law, and the group ate some snacks, and briefly talked about his itinerary.
Ru Ji finally understood this time, it turns out that the cases and criminals faced by the ancient arrest and modern police officers are actually similar, most of the cases are still out of human relations, and those martial arts masters who can fly the eaves and walk the wall, fly flowers and hurt people are really very few, many of the thieves who have never seen "martial arts light skills" in their lives, and the relatively difficult to catch is nothing more than a stronger man with a taller physique or a thief who runs faster. The so-called work of chasing thieves is mainly to track and investigate, collect evidence and verify, round up and intercept, etc., and the hard work is more about rushing around, or waiting in ambush, rather than flying around every day.
Ru Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed in her heart that she had really watched too many martial arts novels and TV series in the past, where could she treat those as real official duties. casually refilled Chen Hao with another cup of hot tea, Ru Ji talked about the things around her recently, mainly because Zuo took a white jade peach blossom comb as a gift and the Shi family found an official media to come to the door today, and said a summary.
Chen Hao frowned and said: "It seems that we don't have to wait until the New Year, our family affairs should be settled as much as possible." β
Ru Ji was naturally happy in her heart, but she still reluctantly pretended to be reserved on her face: "I listen to you." β
The two talked for a while, and Chen Hao's tiredness became more and more obvious. Ruji was very distressed, and urged him to go home and rest. Chen Hao, as when he came, took advantage of the name of the shop, put on a cloak and a hood to pretend to be the manager of the store, and left with Chen Run.
This time, Ruji's mood was really completely better, ten times brighter and brighter than the clear sky in the capital today, and she even ate half a bowl more for lunch. Chaolu and Xia Yue couldn't help but smile at each other while serving, Ruji's face was hot, but she didn't see it.
What's so funny, falling in love is like this!
In the evening, the more and more capable members of the intelligence team, Lingzhi and Xiancao each brought back the gossip express. After the official media invited by the Shi family visited today, the meeting time with Pu Luo and Chi was not long, but the situation was very delicate. Because according to the normal and safe procedures of the official family to discuss relatives, both sides are the right people, no matter who has a crush on whom, the elders on both sides must always investigate and investigate openly and secretly, and then the elders will talk about it, and only after reaching a consensus will they find Mrs. Quanfu or the elders among the relatives, or the official media to go through the procedures of protecting the media.
In other words, in most cases, the official media is just a process and procedure, and very few official families have decided to marry without talking about it with the elders of both sides, and they go directly to the door to propose marriage. There is really no guarantee of the success rate of such a sudden proposal, even if the man is not as taboo as the woman is about the impact of "divorce and refusal" on the reputation, it will hurt the face of the family in the end.
Therefore, when they heard that the official media came to the door, Pu Luo and Chi were really surprised. When it became clear that they were entrusted by the Shi family to marry the eldest daughter of the Pu family, the Pu couple stared at them even more wide-eyed and cautious to the extreme. The official media was not surprised by this situation, and after praising Shi Renlang with a clichΓ©, he took a thick envelope to Pu Yu. Most of the contents of the envelope are the letters written by Rushu to Shi Renlang in the name of Ru Xi on the case of Pu Yu, as well as those few token-like bookmarks.
As for Ruji, after leaving Pu Yu's study, there was naturally a big commotion inside. Because the economic situation of the Pu family has taken a turn for the worse now, there are no vases and antiques in the study, except for a teacup that is already missing, Pu Luo has not smashed anything next to it. I heard that after Pu Yu pointed at Chi and scolded a few words, he took the ring ruler and rushed to Rushu's room, crackling and beating violently, and even the ruler was discounted. In the end, it was Chi and Ruyan's mother and daughter who cried and knelt together, and Pu Yu, who begged, did not kill Rushu directly. But Pu Yu still put down his words in the name of the head of the family, and ordered Rushu to copy books behind closed doors after her injuries healed, eat vegetarian meals three times, and be grounded for half a year.
Ru Xi just shook her head when she heard this, Pu Yu himself was just a hypocrite who was not upright and had a strong personality. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, such as Shu's current situation, which can actually be regarded as an upward and downward effect. If the rumored old man of the Pu family, who has a good academic character, is still alive, it is estimated that Pu Yu will also be beaten to death by his own father many times.
A few days later, about three days after the official media invited by the Shi family came to the door, when Pu Yu was still angry with the Chi family's mother and daughter, Yan Xiao suddenly came to visit in person.
When the next person reported the words of the second son of Huan Ningbo's Mansion, Pu Yu's hand holding the teacup immediately shook, and he almost smashed it again, and instinctively looked at the Chi family: "What happened again?" Have you sinned again? β
Chi waved his hand again and again and shouted: "The master is not wrong to blame the concubine, the concubine is the eldest girl who offends the master, and you will never dare to offend!" β
Pu Yu didn't dare to ask Yan Xiao to wait, when he heard the news, he had already called his subordinates to hurry in, and he didn't have time to ask Chi more at the moment, so he was busy in front of the main hall to welcome the guests after straightening out his clothes all the way.
This conversation was similar to the official media invited by the Shi family last time, and it didn't last long, but the result was completely different. Shuangying was sent over again to invite Ru Xi to Pu Yu's study to talk, Pu Yu and Chi were both present, but this time they were politely tight: "Ru Xi, sit, drink tea." β
When Ru Ji heard that Yan Xiao came to the door, she probably knew it in her heart, and her tone was much softer: "What's the matter with the master?" β
"Today, your cousin Yan Xiao came to the door," Pu Yu looked at Ru Xi and brought Xia Yue over again, and he was also a little jealous in his heart, so he simply got straight to the point amicably, "He said that he had a family affair and wanted to protect the media for you." The Father promised you before, and you will see for yourself the events of your life. Your cousin said that the man is innocent and is also a son of the Chenzhou army, and now he is serving in Beijing. He is a six-grade scribe of the Criminal Department, and his appearance is also quite comparable, but he is a few years older than you, you see that this is mentioned by Yan Ergongzi, do you think about it? β
Chen Hao's efficiency is too high, right? It's only been three days!
Ru Ji complained in her heart, her face was still calm, and she even lowered her head and drank two sips of tea before she endured the joy in her heart and said lightly: "If Second Brother Xiao speaks, it is reliable to think about it." I still trust it. β
Pu Yu also felt some signs of relief at this time, if he could marry Ru Xi quickly, out of sight and out of mind, the family would no longer have to provide for this little ancestor. A few days ago, the Shi family invited the official media to come to the door, and he thought that Ruji really had something to do with Shi Renlang. Although Shi Renlang is also a good son-in-law, but if he asks someone to hand such a childish and explicit letter in front of him, even if the girl can marry it, she has to marry on her knees, and she will definitely not be able to straighten her waist when she goes to her in-law's house. It should even be said that the Shi family's move is half a marriage proposal, and half a slap in the face. Pu Yu was so angry that he really wanted to beat Ru Xi violently, but Ru Xi's words were as sharp as a knife, Xia Yue was heroic and sassy, and then in the dead of night, Pu Yu was a little vaguely afraid when he thought about it, if he really impulsively gave Ru Xi a slap or a ring ruler at that time, he was afraid that he would be beaten violently.
Pu Yu knew very well in his heart, what kind of etiquette and etiquette were said by the master in the school, written by the students in the field, and used in the ancestral hall, in the court, and even in the history books. The only truth that truly remains unchanged through the ages is that the form is stronger than the human being. At that time, if Xia Yue really beat him, could Pu Hanlin really go out and cry out for injustice? It's not like you have to knock out your teeth and swallow blood.
