179: Puzzle
When Xia Ruan heard the person's name from Chongli's mouth, he no longer had the strength to hold the tea cup in his hand.
The teacup fell on the marble with a screeching sound.
Xia Ruan never thought that it would be that person.
She originally thought that she would not have contact with that person as she had in her previous life.
Her eyes widened, and she repeatedly confirmed, "Is it really him?" Is it really him? ”
Chongli had never seen Xia Ruan so panicked, nodded and said, "The little one is sure it's him, it's just Miss......"
"You tell the third young master about this truth." Xia Ruan was covered in cold sweat, "You must say it clearly." ”
Xia Ruan's expression was solemn, which made Chongli a little worried, but he still nodded quickly.
After Chongli walked out, Du Ruo came in to clean up the tea cup that fell on the ground, she saw Xia Ruan slightly stunned, and she didn't dare to say anything to disturb her.
When Du Ruo wanted to go out, Xia Ruan called Du Ruo: "Du Ruo, you ask Doctor Du to come to see me tomorrow." ”
"Miss?" Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan with some curiosity, "What's wrong with you." ”
Xia Ruan rubbed his eyebrows: "The third young master is going to Los Angeles, but I know now that things over there are actually more complicated." This time the journey is dangerous, and the people over there are good at using the strange poison of the Western Regions, so I am going to let Dr. Du follow, but Dr. Du's body is ......."
Du Ming is also old, if he follows Xiao Jiu to Los Angeles, he may lose half his life when he comes back. But if Du Ming didn't go, Xia Ruan would be very uneasy, after all, there was no second person in the Qin State who could make her believe and understand the poison in the Western Regions, except for Du Ming.
Du Ruo thought for a while. Only then did he say: "I'll do it right away, miss, the slave's father has been very strong all these years, and there should be no problem." ”
Xia Ruan smiled: "Don't force it. ”
Xia Ruan was soon left alone in the house, and Duran stood guard outside the door.
In his previous life, it was rumored that he died at the hands of the little general of the Song family, but Xia Ruan knew that this person would not die so easily.
Heyue.
In the past, when Xiao Shaocheng mentioned this person, he would always laugh helplessly, but when Tang Jingxuan mentioned He Yue. Always gnashing your teeth. No one knows who He Yue is. No one had ever seen He Yue, and they hadn't even figured out whether it was a man or a woman. But this person is not only powerful in Los Angeles, almost all of the eighteen countries in the Western Regions have traces of He Yue.
But He Yue is a low-key and forgiving person.
This man is really powerful, and now he is sending fennel to her. And she knew she had to take the fennel. Because of the white vine, she could guess who it was. Maybe Chongli found Heyue. It was also the news that He Yue deliberately released, and Xia Ruan felt that this person was really terrifying.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruan sighed, Xiao Jiu went to Los Angeles this time. It seems that there is a lot of danger. For some reason, she really hoped that Xiao Jiu wouldn't go, after all......
But that person probably won't listen to her.
This night, Xia Ruan lost sleep again.
The next morning, as soon as he finished breakfast, he asked Duran to stand aside with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" Xia Ruan looked at Du Lan with some amusement, "Who made you unhappy again?" ”
Duran shook his head and thought for a while before answering Xia Ruan: "Jiang Tuo and Fennel almost fought. ”
Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly.
Jiang Tuo's temper is very bad, these days when he came here, Jiang Tuo seems to hold a grudge against Duran for saying that he is a beggar, and in many cases he has to deliberately state that he is not a beggar. And Jiang Tuo is indeed not like a beggar in many ways, but more like a spoiled young master.
But Jiang Tuo is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, he has no interest in medical skills on the surface, and hates the arrangements that everyone gives him, but when Du Ruo is uncomfortable, he will still take the remaining silver before to give Du Ruo a fetal pill. And Du Ruo was very surprised at the time and said that the pharmacy that Jiang Tuo gave her was Jiang Tuo's own prescription, and Du Ruo might not even be able to think of this medicine.
At this point, Xia Ruan was somewhat surprised.
"Fennel bullying him again?" Xia Ruan thought for a while and said, these days, Fennel only seems to play a well-behaved role in front of her, and Mother Xu often excludes each other, and many people are bullied by Fennel, but the people who Fennel provokes are not good at stubble.
It's just that Du Lan and Du Ruo let out a rumor, saying that the young lady wanted to choose a maid to dowry, without mentioning who they would choose, let alone mentioning the name of fennel.
……
Du Lan nodded: "Jiang Tuo's temper, who dares to bully him...... But today Bai Teng cried again, and Jiang Tuo scolded Fennel and said that she was not worthy of being Bai Teng's sister, so the fight started. ”
Xia Ruan's brows frowned slightly: "Something happened to Bai Teng?" ”
"Back to Miss, Bai Teng's fever has not been good." Duran also felt that Bai Teng was a little pitiful, but he didn't dare to say it, "But Fennel didn't want to find a doctor for Bai Teng, she thought Bai Teng was crying too loudly, and she gave the child sweat medicine." ”
Fennel did this and was discovered by Jiang Tuo, so the two quarreled endlessly, and in the end, Jiang Tuo didn't care if Fennel was a daughter or not, and just did it.
Later, it was Duran who came forward, and the two gave up.
And what does Fennel want to do?
Is White Vine really so worthless?
Xia Ruan sighed secretly in his heart, this is really a mountain higher than a mountain, and the favor given to He Yue by others was ruined like this.
If there was no white vine, she would not have taken fennel.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside: "Miss, there are people outside asking to see you." ”
"Who?" Xia Ruan gathered his thoughts.
Ai Ye reported outside: "Young Master of the Zhao family." ”
Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, Zhao Nanke?
"To him go to the west drawing room." After Xia Ruan finished speaking, he stood up, feeling a little weird.
Zhao Nanke entered Kyoto a few days ago, and Zhao Nanke has been in the limelight in Kyoto these days, after he took over the Zhao family from the old man Zhao, the Zhao family's property tripled. I have to say that Zhao Nanke is a businessman who is very good at doing business, and he is also an unscrupulous businessman.
It's just that Zhao Nanke never came to Xia Ruan automatically, he privately sent some things over with the Nan family, and Xia Ruan would accept them. Just afterward. She will send it back again, because she doesn't want to owe the Nan family and the Zhao family a little favor.
Later, Zhao Nanke seemed to understand what Xia Ruan meant, so he never sent anything with the people of the Nan family.
Occasionally, I also give some souvenirs.
The house of the Xia family in Jingzhong is much larger than that of Dongyang County in the past, the west living room is more spacious, and there are many pear trees planted in the yard.
Zhao Nanke sat on the chair, thoughtful.
He didn't want to come forward to find Xia Ruan today, but at this time he had to come forward.
Today's Xia Ruan is no longer the Xia Ruan of the past, Zhao Nanke has always known it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Nanke couldn't help but sigh.
When Xia Ruan entered the house, Zhao Nanke raised his head and looked at the innocent woman in front of him. A light green skirt. Her skin is like a coagulated skin, like a hibiscus out of water. The girl had a pure smile on her face, but this smile was tinged with a hint of detachment.
Zhao Nanke was slightly stunned. I didn't react to the half-ring.
"Zhao Gongzi, please use tea." Xia Ruan smiled lightly. Then he instructed Duran to serve tea.
Xia Ruan and the past have not changed much. If you have to say that there is a change, maybe it is that her appearance is more refined, her temperament and her behavior. It's all exactly the same as before.
Zhao Nanke was interrupted by Xia Ruan's voice, and only after half a sound did he take the tea cup from Du Lan's hand, bowing his head and saying nothing.
How could she not change at all?
Kyoto is a big dye vat, and he always thought that he could do the same as before, without changing the slightest. But Zhao Nanke later realized that he really overestimated himself...... But Xia Ruan was almost the same as before, without the slightest change, how could she do this.
Today's Xia Ruan is no longer the third lady of the Xia family in the past, she is the granddaughter of Cheng Guogong, and the niece of Li Daxue, and she may still be Xiao Jiu's wife in the future...... Such a hot person, but he was not affected by the people around him at all.
"Today I was a little abrupt and took the liberty to disturb Miss Three, but there are some things that I have to tell Miss Three." Zhao Nanke stroked the teacup and said, "I don't know if the third lady can speak conveniently?" ”
Xia Ruan looked at Zhao Nanke with a smile, and then let the room retreat.
"Zhao Gongzi can say it." Xia Ruan looked at Zhao Nanke's eyes, and he was always very cold, which made Zhao Nanke's heart a little uncomfortable.
It's just that Zhao Nanke doesn't know why he is uncomfortable.
Zhao Nanke thought for a while before saying, "Can the third lady treat me as an outsider?" ”
Xia Ruan didn't expect Zhao Nanke to say such a sentence, and she couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart.
Isn't Zhao Nanke an outsider?
Yes, at least in her heart.
"Why did Zhao Gongzi say that?" Xia Ruan pretended to be surprised.
Zhao Nanke bowed his head: "In the past, when the third miss helped me, I regarded the third miss as a friend, but now it seems to be just my wishful thinking." Zhao's current status and talking to the third miss are also high to the third miss, but ...... Third Miss, we also have business contacts now, why are we so strange? ”
Zhao Nanke and Xia Ruan have always had business dealings, and there are also Zhao Nanke's shops and Zhuangzi in Danyang County, which is also a helpless thing.
It's just that Zhao Nanke's words are a little ......
Xia Ruan pretended to be calm, as if he didn't hear anything from these words: "Zhao Gongzi is too polite when he says this, we are friends." ”
When Zhao Nanke heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he looked at Xia Ruan and said, "The fifth day of the sixth month is a good day, but Miss San, this day is not a good day for you." ”
Xia Ruan raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Nanke, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why did Zhao Gongzi say this?" ”
"L.A. is a place where there is no return, no matter who it is." Zhao Nanke waited for a long time before saying this, "Third Miss, think about it, why would the emperor give such a high reward?" A small disaster relief, after the fact, will be sealed? Hehe, Miss Three, you are a smart person, you should understand the willingness, right? ”
Xia Ruan was a little unclear this time, why the matter of Los Angeles had something to do with the marquis.
After half a ring, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Jiu's words that day.
"The reward given by the emperor this time is very good, if I go, the seat will be higher in the future, and it will not make you feel wronged at that time."
"I'll stand taller so that I can better protect you."
"In this way, do you think you can feel more at ease?" (To be continued......)
