79. Seventy-nine
Liu Chengyin posted posts and posts, all of which were in the name of a friend who added makeup. Ru Xi only thought that this was just an excuse to talk casually, who knew that Liu Chengyin really brought a valuable gift when she came to the door, it was a pair of golden butterflies from Linglong Pavilion, the size was very small, but the workmanship was very exquisite. Ru Xi couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it, the style of the butterfly was clearly the same as the ruby double butterfly blonde hair comb given by Chen Hao on her previous birthday.
Ru Ji had too many questions in her heart, and when she saw that the butterfly had calmed down, she pressed down all the questions she was going to ask, and stretched out her hand to take it: "Miss Liu has broken the bill." ”
Liu Chengyin was still wearing the orange-red gauze skirt that she met at Gyeongbokga that day, but the expression on her lively and pretty face was a little complicated, neither resentment and anger, nor sneering and provoking proudly, but instead of a calm with a little frustration.
"I didn't want this hairpin anymore." Liu Chengyin pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids, "Since he only thinks about marrying you until he dies, I hope you have a good life." ”
Ru Xi only felt that her heart was shocked, and her whole body was numb and tense as if she had been electrocuted, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed Liu Chengyin's hand: "What did you say?" What happened to him? ”
Liu Chengyin raised her head, her eyes were a little red, and she reluctantly pushed Ru Xi's hand away: "He's fine, it's just that he was hit by two hidden weapons when he caught the thief the day before yesterday, and now he has come back to recuperate." ”
Ru Xi breathed a sigh of relief, only felt that her knees were a little weak, took a step back and held Cai Wan's hand to settle down, so that she could ask someone to serve refreshments to entertain Liu Chengyin.
Liu Chengyin didn't shirk, and ate two sips of tea before giving Ru Ji a rough explanation of the past few days.
To put it simply, there was an unsolved case that Chen Hao had handled in Jingzhao Yamen before, and the case involved some people from the rivers and lakes, which seemed to have something to do with Chen Hao and Liu Chengyin's master who learned light skills. The case had been temporarily sealed, but a few days ago it suddenly had something to do with something in the palace, and Liu Chengyin didn't know the specific details, in short, Chen Hao and the other two heads with better martial arts were sent to investigate overnight.
Later, in the process of chasing the thieves, Chen Hao once fell into a coma with a hidden weapon, and at that time he was half unconscious, and he kept calling Ruxi's name. Later, he successfully found the antidote, and he turned back after the ghost door was closed. Chen Hao returned to Beijing two days later than Liu Zhutou's father and daughter, so he specially asked Liu Chengyin to come over and talk to Ruxi first.
After listening silently, Ru Ji's heart went up and down a few times, and finally settled down again, and got up and said: "Miss Liu, thank you." ”
Liu Chengyin looked at Ruxi once, and finally turned her face, and said softly: "Actually, the first time I saw you, I knew that Senior Brother ...... him" After a pause, he also stood up, "Forget it, I'll bring the words, the hairpin will add makeup to you, and I'll leave." ”
Ru Ji was a little reluctant in her heart, but she didn't have much to say, so she could only bow her head and send Liu Chengyin away.
Two days later, Chen Hao finally returned to Beijing and made an appointment with Ruxi to meet in Pu Weiji.
After Chen Hao passed the word to Chen Run, he first went to Jingzhao Yamen to explain some things before going to Pu Weiji, but unexpectedly, after half an hour of hard work, Ru Xi arrived first. When Chen Hao entered the door, Ru Xi was standing in front of the window, with her back to the door. The water-green fine silk shirt is paired with a light moon-colored gauze skirt, and the girl's slim figure seems to have lost a lot of grace, and the jade silk around her waist is obviously much looser.
Chen Hao coughed lightly: "Ruxi, I'm back." ”
Ruji's shoulders shook slightly, but she didn't turn around.
Chen Hao stepped forward and reached out to help her shoulder: "Ruji." ”
Ru Xi refused to turn around and brushed his hand away.
Chen Hao was beside her, and she could already see the tears on the beautiful lotus petal face, and the line of the jaw was too obvious, not at all like the joy and richness that a girl to be married should have.
"Don't cry, I'm back." Chen Hao said softly, and at the same time turned Ru Xi in his direction.
Ru Ji raised her wet eyes to look at him, her handsome and lofty face was a little more tired, and her deep eyes were still gentle, she looked him up and down a few times, her body was straight and straight, and she didn't look hurt.
Ru Ji opened her mouth with tears: "Do you still know to come back to see me?" ”
Chen Hao stretched out his hand and pulled Ruxi into his arms: "En, let me hold it for a while." ”
Ru Ji listened to his gentle voice and seemed to bring a lot of tiredness, swallowed the words of complaint, closed his eyes, and tears rolled down like broken beads, and at the same time obediently followed Chen Hao's movements and snuggled into his arms.
The time of separation this time is actually not too long, it is much shorter than the business trip of more than a month a year ago, but Chen Hao's trip is secret, and there is a danger of death and life in the middle, and the two are much more excited to reunite.
Ru Xi sobbed in Chen Hao's arms for a while, and then gradually stopped her tears and gently pushed Chen Hao away: "Are you injured?" ”
Chen Hao shook his head and said, "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart." ”
"What's the trivial matter," Ru Ji glared at him, "doesn't it mean that he almost lost his life?" ”
Chen Hao's eyes flashed: "What did Orange Yin say?" ”
Ru Ji pulled down her face: "What do you think she said?" ”
Chen Hao was a little helpless, and smiled a little tentatively: "That, it's just a little flesh wound." ”
"A little?" Ru Ji continued to glare at him, deliberately saying angrily in a cold tone, "You still lie to me, don't you?" ”
Chen Hao took Ruji's hand: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I was hit by two hidden weapons, and now it's all right." ”
Ru Wu didn't believe it: "If you don't tell me the truth again, I'll leave." ”
Chen Hao was helpless: "This time, the people who tracked down had better martial arts, but they suffered a little loss." But it's really okay, don't you think I'm back to see you properly? ”
Ru Xi forced her to ask some details, and Chen Hao saw that she was really worried, so she said in a gentle direction. Ru Ji listened to the overall similar to what Liu Chengyin said, but it was more specific, and finally stopped asking, but her eyes couldn't help but red again, and a lot of tears overflowed.
Chen Hao saw her so sad, and his heart was both pity and touch, and he reached out to wipe away her tears: "Be good, don't cry." Isn't it okay for me to be fine, you are so sad, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”
Ru Ji grabbed his hand and took a bite: "If you scare me like this next time, you see if I will spare you." ”
The corners of Chen Hao's lips twitched: "Next time, you can dispose of it." ”
Ru Xi glared at him: "Is there really a next time?" ”
Chen Hao hugged Ruxi into his arms again and said in a low voice: "That's what I did, you knew it." Now it's too late to regret it. ”
Ru Ji hugged Chen Hao with her backhand and said in a low voice: "I don't regret it, but you really have to be careful, thinking about your wife, thinking about me, you have to pay attention to yourself." ”
The two relied on each other for a long time before they separated again. Chen Hao saw that although Ruji's mood was a little better, he couldn't be happy, so he asked, "Do you want to go out to eat today?" I know there's a place you're going to love. ”
Although the wedding ceremony is imminent, she still doesn't mind being able to go on another date before marriage. So he asked Cai Wan to fetch water to wash his face, rearrange his makeup and clothes, and followed Chen Hao to the most lively market in the south of the city.
The south of the capital can be regarded as the most prosperous and chaotic area at the foot of the Son of Heaven, because the imperial city is sitting in the north and facing south, so the south city is the farthest from the palace in terms of location, and it is also the place where the emperor's relatives and dignitaries are the least, and the three religions and nine streams, Qinlou and Chu Hall are the most. Dasheng attaches great importance to the security of Jingzhao, so although this area in the south of the city is mixed, it is not frequent. As for eating, it is the same as the past and the present. Often, the more chaotic and even unhygienic the area, the better the food.
When Ruxi and Chen Hao arrived at Ruyi Street, the most prosperous street in Nancheng, it was the third hour of Shenshi, that is, around half past four in the afternoon, and the lively vendors and all kinds of food on the street immediately made Ruxi's eyes light up.
This is clearly a food stall!
All the way from the street to the end of the street, all kinds of unknown snacks and side dishes are varied, wonton stalls and steamed buns are fried and fried, which is much richer than the temple fair in the prospect of the temple fair.
Chen Hao is obviously a frequent visitor here, taking Ruxi to look at it all the way and explain in a low voice, and from time to time he will say a few words to the familiar vendors.
Ru Xi became more and more interested in the aroma of snacks full of fresh **, looking at the three best businesses, namely Li Ji Steamed Bun Shop, Festive Wonton Shop and the pot sticker stall at the entrance of the street, it was a little difficult to choose, and after hesitating for a long time, Chen Hao stopped his ambition to eat from north to south, and went to the steamed bun shop that looked cleaner.
The shop is very small, although it is larger than the wonton shop and pot sticker stand, and the total number is only six square tables, and half of the table is piled with vinegar dishes and tableware and other miscellaneous items. The layout of the store is even simpler, with a large red paper on the counter that reads "Fortune and Treasure", and a few menu signs on the wall, but there is no decoration other than that. But the business of this steamed bun shop is really good, every table in the store is full of customers, some obviously see that they are not acquaintances, just set up a table, among which there are many female customers, and some of them seem to be quite rich and rich.
"How is this business so good?" Ruji, who was queuing at the door of the store, was a little curious, and it was too full.
Chen Hao smiled: "The owner of this shop is very stubborn, the buns are not taken out, and only let the guests eat in the store, otherwise I would have bought them for you a long time ago." ”
Ru Xi nodded, this is also a limited strategy, and the business wisdom of the ancients really cannot be underestimated. But fortunately, it was still relatively early, and there were not many people in line. Ru Xi and Chen Hao chatted in a low voice, and asked about the preparations for the marriage between Su Sanniang and General Shi Ben, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a table was vacated in the store. It's just that there are only two people in Ruji and Chen Hao, and there is no way to share the table with the guests in the back row.
But fortunately, the guests in the back seem to be very gentle. It was also a couple, the man was about forty, handsome and steady, and the woman next to him was a few years younger and beautiful, and the two seemed to be very compatible.
sat down at the table and ordered buns and side dishes respectively, which did not affect each other. It's just that Ru Ji drank two sips of tea, and she began to feel that something was wrong, and Chen Hao's love seemed to be a little wrong?
