Ning Xi was pulled to the table by them and sat down. Xiuwen smiled: "You came just in time, I'm playing chess with my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is always cheating, you have to give me a comment." ”

Ning Xi looked at the endgame on the table with a smile, didn't say anything, just moved the white chess pieces on the table, this time the victory and defeat were clear, and the white chess turned defeat into victory.

Rujin smiled: "Look, Xi'er still helps my sister-in-law." ”

Xiuwen pouted and said, "What, why doesn't Xi'er help me, you and I got married on the same day!" ”

Ning Xi said: "The two sisters misunderstood, Xi'er just moved casually, and I don't know who is on which side." ”

"Sister Xi'er, how much is Guigeng?" Xiuwen said, "I'm fifteen years old. ”

"I'm sixteen," Ning Xi smiled, "Looks like I'm going to call you sister." ”

"You are all my sisters," Rujin said, "I'm seventeen." ”

The three women all smiled, they were all from the house, and they didn't have any separation, so they quickly became acquainted. Ning Xi and Xiuwen simply didn't leave, and directly had dinner here in Rujin, anyway, the eldest young master was not there, so it was convenient for the two of them to stay here.

By the time Nian'er came over, it was already dark, and Ning Xi remembered that it was time to go back. Saying goodbye to the two women, Ning Xi said that she would come over as soon as she was free.

As soon as Ning Xi left, Xiuwen sighed. The one from her family, I'm afraid she won't come here for the night, right?

Back at Ruixing Pavilion, Ning Xi saw Yu Rui sitting there at a glance, so he said, "It's the third young master who is here, have you been waiting for a long time?" ”

Yu Rui was a little funny, he raised his head and said, "What do you mean that I'm 'here', this is originally my home!" ”

Ning Xi realized that he had lost his words, yes, this is not the palace, but the capital. A hint of crampedness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly recovered her expression and said, "Since the third young master has nothing to do, then Xi'er will go in first." With that, he went inside.

"Wait!" Yu Rui stopped her. Ning Xi turned his head and saw Yu Rui and said with a smile on his face: "Don't call me Third Young Master, call me Yu Rui." ”

Ning Xi nodded. Seeing that she hadn't moved, Yu Rui asked, "I heard that you have been with your sister-in-law all day?" ”

"yes," Ning Xi said, "It's not interesting to stay alone, so I just walked around." ”

Yu Rui nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, you can often go and sit there, and you can accompany my mother when you have time." ”

"It's good, three...... Yu Rui. Ning Xi hurriedly changed his words.

"You have to say hello from Fujin regularly," Yu Rui admonished, "Be careful after you go, don't let her find anything wrong." However, with your identity there, I don't think she will bother you much. ”

"Does she often embarrass you?" Ning Xi couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't feel much embarrassed," Yu Rui smiled bitterly, "I deal with some chores during the day, and I only go home at night, and I hardly see her." "It's just that I pity my mother, and I suffer from her every day. Yu Rui thought so, but didn't say it. What can you do if you tell Xi'er? She is new to the city, and her foundation is not stable, how can she have time to protect her mother? Let her learn to protect herself first!

Ning Xi nodded: "Thank you...... Yu Rui reminds me that I will depend on you to take care of my life in the future. ”

Yu Rui smiled: "What are these words, you and I are the ones who are tied together, your safety directly affects me, where will I not protect you." Don't worry, if Chang Fujin bullies you, look for me. ”

"This is the first time I've heard that." Ning Xi couldn't help but say, "I don't have a brother, I only have a younger brother. I don't have anything to be dissatisfied with when I hear that. As soon as the words came out, she regretted it, it was so ambiguous, and she hated herself for not choosing what to say.

Yu Rui stood up and approached her step by step. Ning Xi was squeezed to the wall, and there was no way out. Nian'er had already retreated and gently closed the door. Ning Xi was a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but say, "Third Young Master, don't be like this, there are still people outside." ”

"So what?" Yu Rui hugged her and said, "You are my Fujin, who dares to say anything?" After a pause, he smiled slyly, "Call me the third young master again, right?" ”

Ning Xi was speechless, and was held by him again, unable to move. Yu Rui couldn't help but smile when he saw her shyness. Before, he was suppressed by Chang Fujin, and there was no room around him, but now he was in contact with a woman for the first time. He likes this very much, and the so-called happiness is probably like this, right?

"What do you like to do when you're in the palace?" Yu Rui asked suddenly.

"What?" Ning Xi was stunned by his sudden inquiry, and after thinking about it, she replied slowly, "I don't have anything I like, I usually learn some female celebrities, housekeepers or something, but I haven't paid attention to what I like." ”

"How about a poem?" Yu Rui asked.

Ning Xi shook his head: "I've only learned a little." Since I was a child, Amma taught me more horseback riding and archery or something, he said, the world is not peaceful now, and it is useless to learn those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is better to learn some practical ones. ”

"That's right," Yu Rui said, "We Manchurians grew up on horseback, and we should maintain the traditions of the past." It is a pity that in recent years, the culture of the Han people has become more and more, and the Manchu people have not been taken so seriously. ”

"Yes," Ning Xi muttered, "Right now, the foreigners are in charge, and the capital is in a miasma, and I don't know how long this peaceful day will last." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm by your side." Yu Rui said, the hand holding her tighter.

"I'm not afraid," Ning Xi said, "I want to fight them more than to hide like this." ”

Early the next morning, after asking Chang Fujin for peace, Ning Xi returned to Ruixing Pavilion. Yu Rui was not there, Ning Xi came to his study boredly and flipped through the books on his desktop.

""Zizhi Tongjian, he still reads this?" Ning Xi picked up the book and flipped through a few pages. As far as she can remember, she has only seen Amma read the book. She used to read it curiously, but she didn't turn a few pages before she felt a headache and stopped reading. It is said that even the current Queen Mother does not read this, so in her opinion, the person who is willing to read this book is definitely not simple.

"Gege," Lan'er walked in, "Ah Hao, who was next to the third young master, asked to see him." ”

"Let him in." Tidal Channel.

Ah Hao walked in with his head down, holding a tray in his hand, and said, "Gege, this is a riding suit sent by the third young master." ”

"Equestrian outfit?" Ning Xi got up and stepped forward, flipped through the clothes on the plate, and asked, "The third young master asked me to ride a horse?" ”

"Back to Gege, the third young master said, he is waiting for you in the stable, if Gege has nothing else to do, I hope you can come over."

"This ......" Ning Xi's face turned slightly red again, "Okay then, I'll go change my clothes, and you can take me over later." ”
