172: Sweetheart

He said, I'm waiting for you.

This person is waiting for her.

Xia Ruan looked at the person in front of him with some distraction.

Why would he be waiting for her here?

There was so much surprise that she didn't know how to speak.

A gust of night wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver coldly.

Xia Ruan moved his lips, and when he wanted to speak, he only felt a warmth on his body, and then raised his head to look at the young man's smiling eyes.

Xiao Jiu draped the cloak on her body, and her movements were gentle.

"Third Young Master?" Xia Ruan took a deep breath, his mind was a little confused, and he was still a little confused when he spoke.

Xiao Jiu had a smile on his lips, ignoring Xia Ruan's Du Ruo: "Huh? ”

Xiao Jiu calmly held her hand, and then said, "I'll take you home." ”

Xiao Jiu said the words in his beautiful voice, and Xia Ruan, who was shocked, couldn't speak, and even forgot to break free from her hands that were tightly gripped.

She obediently followed Xiao Jiu into the carriage, only to find that Du Ruo had gone to the carriage behind her.

The two of them were in a carriage, and Xia Ruan's heart collapsed.

"I've already asked people to send ginseng over, you go back and drink some ginseng soup and rest." Xiao Jiu said very casually, and then smiled lightly, "Are you hungry?" ”

Xia Ruan was stunned, what does this have to do with whether he is hungry or not?

However, Xiao Jiu said it so casually, she still felt a little hungry, and when she entered the palace, she kept watching the emperor asking people to check this matter, and she knelt on the side and thought about what to do next.

"Sort of." Xia Ruan was not polite to Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu was waiting for her outside the palace gate, and she didn't mind letting people go to the house to eat something.

Come to think of it. Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, turned his head and asked, "When did you come to the palace gate?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Jiu looked at Xia Ruan with glittering eyes, and there was an elegant smile on his handsome face, "It won't be long, just for a while." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Ruan naturally didn't believe it.

This person was hiding from her.

Xia Ruan suddenly remembered Du Ruo's strange appearance when he entered the palace with her today, could it be that Du Ruo had already sent someone to inform Xiao Jiu at that time? And she didn't know at all, Xia Ruan was very surprised.

Xiao Jiu actually waited for her outside the palace gate for so long.

She only had to think of the young man standing outside the palace gate, looking at the crowd coming and going, and looking at the palace gate with clear eyes. Just to wait for her.

In the haze. This feeling made Xia Ruan feel sad.

Xia Ruan looked away unnaturally, and said softly, "Let's eat something together, right?" ”

"Okay." Xiao Jiu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, with a deep smile in his black eyes.

The carriage drove for a while, and Xia Ruan was thinking nonsense all the time.

What does Xiao Jiu like about her? She never felt like she was any better. And she never thought of getting married in her life. I just want to protect my mother and younger brother. For Xia Ruan. This kind of life should be peaceful, but Xiao Jiu's appearance made her life a little chaotic.

Affection? How could she believe it?

She sighed inwardly. I felt a little too selfish.

Xia Ruan couldn't help but raise her head, but saw that Xiao Jiu had been looking at her, with a focused and tender expression.

She felt a slight sensation in her cheeks, and then quickly brushed her head away.

Before Xia Ruan could explain, he heard the sound of crying outside.

"Miss, young master, give me something to eat, please."

"Give me something to eat, my dad is going to starve to death."

"You are living bodhisattvas, please give me something to eat."

……

Xia Ruan's expression tightened, and here Xiao Jiu had already opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

Xia Ruan leaned a little and looked over with Xiao Jiu's gaze.

I saw more than a dozen people kneeling on the street, and one of them was a woman who was still holding a child, kneeling at the end with a pale face. The child in her arms seemed to have cried hoarsely, and could only stare at the people around her with wide eyes and stupidly.

How can there be so many displaced people in Kyoto?

Before Xiao Jiu could speak, the person driving the carriage couldn't help but shout: "Get out of the way." ”

The woman shook in fright, then opened her dry mouth but did not speak, and slowly shrank back.

Xia Ruan looked at the woman thoughtfully, and was half silent.

"Don't scare them." Xiao Jiu's cold voice sounded in Xia Ruan's earrings, "There are still some dry food here for you to take to them, let them come to Xicheng outside the Xiao Mansion tomorrow, and I will solve these things." ”

The young man who was driving the car quickly replied, "Yes, my lord." ”

Saying that, Xiao Jiu took out the dry food in the carriage, Xia Ruan quickly came back to his senses and helped Xiao Jiu together.

She thought for a moment before saying, "Is Kyoto like this these days?" ”

She rarely goes out these days, and even when she does, she is in the carriage, so she naturally doesn't know what is going on outside.

Xiao Jiuyun looked at Xia Ruan with sparkling black eyes: "Well, don't worry." ”

Xia Ruan thought for a moment, but didn't speak again.

When the people outside thanked Dade for thanking Xiao Jiu, she couldn't help but tighten her hands and felt a little troublesome.

Could it be that this matter is also in advance?

Xiao Jiu is not a nosy person, but today Xiao Jiu made an unexpected move, Xia Ruan closed his eyes and bit his lower lip, maybe it was really ahead of schedule.

The carriage stopped in Bluestone Alley, but there was no sound in the carriage at this time.

Because of kneeling for a day, Xia Ruan fell asleep without expecting it with his eyes closed.

Stunned and Du Ruo didn't dare to say anything outside, so they could only wait patiently.

Xiao Jiu supported his chin with his right hand and looked at Xia Ruan slightly stunned.

A resourceful girl on weekdays, she closes her eyes at this time, and her face is pure and kind.

But he liked her defenselessness very much, very well-behaved.

This person is the first person who really doesn't care about helping him in return, and he is also his sweetheart.

Xiao Jiu looked at Xia Ruan thoughtfully, not disturbing her sleep.

After a while, Xia Ruan slowly opened his eyes, and then looked at Xiao Jiu in a daze: "Have you arrived?" ”

"Well, just arrived." Xiao Jiu's voice was doting with a hint of pampering, looking at Xia Ruan like this. He reached out and tightened his cloak with some heart, "I've already told them to prepare their meals, let's go." ”

Xia Ruan's eyes returned to his usual shrewd look and nodded.

After hearing the news from the person sent by Xiao Jiu, the Li clan had already fallen asleep.

At this time, Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu in the house were eating while thinking about the situation just now.

"Huh?" Xiao Jiu reminded slightly, "Be careful of fish bones." ”

Xia Ruan smiled awkwardly, and then watched Xiao Jiu re-clip a piece of fish meat without meat bones for her, and was stunned.

"Think about it after eating." Xiao Jiu smiled lightly, "This piece has no thorns." ”

Xia Ruan listened. Don't dare to be distracted anymore. Bow your head and eat the fish and no longer speak.

After eating, Xiao Jiu told him again before leaving.

Du Ruo brought over the brewed soothing tea: "Miss, Lord Xiao let you use tea." ”

Xia Ruan nodded. As a result, when the tea cup was held, it was found that Xiao Jiu's cloak was still in the house.

"The third young master is gone?" Xia Ruan thought for a moment before asking.

Du Ruo nodded: "Let's go." Does the young lady have anything else she wants to talk to the third young master? ”

"It's not." She just thought that Xiao Jiu didn't have a cloak on him. On the way back, you should be cold, "You go and let Liuzi ride a horse to catch up with the third young master's carriage, and hand over the cloak to the third young master in person." ”

Du Ruo was dumbfounded. Then without refuting half a sentence, he raised his legs and was about to leave.

"Wait." Xia Ruan put the tea cup on the table, "I remember that the third young master liked to eat osmanthus cake just now, and you put the plate in a food box just now." Yes, and the ginseng soup just now, isn't there still some of them? Send it over together. ”

Du Ruo hurriedly replied: "The slave knows." ”

When Du Ruo went out, Xia Ruan couldn't help but sigh.

Her heart is also fleshy, and she will naturally feel distressed about these things that Xiao Jiu does.

If she and Xiao Jiu were ordinary friends, she might not have to worry about it like this.

Because now she seems to have forgotten how to love someone.

……

On the other side, when Xiao Jiu took the things sent by the sixth son, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Did the third lady send it?" ”

"Hmm." Liuzi wiped his sweat and was a little out of breath when he spoke, "The third lady asked the villain to send it, if Lord Xiao has no other instructions, then the little one will leave first." ”

Xiao Jiu smiled and said in his nice voice, "Okay, hard work." ”

Liuzi was a little stunned.

He had always known that Xiao Jiu was different, and he had never dared to despise Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu's smile today seemed to be a little different from the past.

Liuzi thought about it, whether he was wrong.

This idea is not only unique to the six sons.

In the early dynasty, Wen Zhonghuai looked at Xiao Jiu's smile and was a little puzzled: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with this recently?" People who don't know still think you're going to be promoted again. ”

Wen Zhonghuai and Xiao Jiu met when they were in Dongyang County, and even though the two are now officials, their private titles have not changed. Wen Zhonghuai likes to talk to Xiao Jiu, this person is always tepid when he speaks, which makes people always feel very comfortable listening to it.

Xiao Jiu always has a cold meaning when he laughs on weekdays, but now......

Xiao Jiu looked at Wen Zhonghuai calmly, with a shallow smile in his eyes: "Why did Brother Wen say that?" ”

"You...... Hey...... "Wen Zhonghuai also knows more or less about Xiao Jiu and Xia Ruan, he naturally doesn't understand why Xiao Jiu can't take his eyes off Xia Ruan's body. He admitted that Xia Ruan did some things very well, but it was not for nothing that there were women in the world who could do better.

Xiao Jiu is a very powerful and talented person, he shouldn't be like this.

After waiting for a while, Wen Zhonghuai wanted to speak, but saw someone standing in another place speak: "Yo, isn't this Lord Xiao?" Why is it so early today, I thought Lord Xiao didn't know what to do lately. ”

The person who came was Li Changfeng's eldest brother Li Yunmo, who entered the cabinet a few days ago and was named a first-class member, and this was the time when he was proud.

"Elder Li Ge laughed." Xiao Jiu smiled faintly, but this smile was slightly cold compared to the smile just now.

Li Yunmo pouted: "Really? I really like Lord Xiao to be able to share the emperor's worries this time, this time the people of the Jiang family are going to take action, I don't know what Lord Xiao will do? ”

Xiao Jiu was still smiling, but he didn't answer Li Yunmo. (To be continued......)
