Lou Shi endured it for two days and stopped looking at Ruan Yuan, saving himself from being angry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But on the third day, there was a light snow in the sky. It was the first snow since early winter, and although the snow was not heavy, the weather was cold.

When he found that it was snowing in the morning, Lou Shi didn't go to the yamen, stayed at home, and stayed in the study in the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town with the stove. Plus today, Lou Shi's face has sunk for three days. He was a man who didn't like to be emotional, whether he was angry or not. With such a calm face, today is the third day.

Dao Yi and Wei Chu, who were waiting on the side, secretly exchanged glances. The snow outside didn't mean to fall heavily, so it drifted sporadically. Or Dao Yi said first: "Shiziye, the leather merchant from Qian'er is here, and he still has a few good big leather clothes in his hand, and he wants to ask Shiziye if he wants it, but he is in a hurry to go back, so he wants to deal with it cheaply." ”

Lou Shi glanced sideways and said, "Why did I buy so many of those things?" Get out of the way and stay there. ”

Dao Yi obediently rolled to the side, looking at Wei Chu, and that thought let Wei Chu go up. But before Wei Chu could speak, Lou Shi had already hammered the table with his hand and said, "Daoyi, you go to the account office to pay the silver, and buy the leather coat from the furrier in his hand." Let the inner supervisor in our house send the Ruan family to the house. This time, it is a good number, and it is guaranteed that the Ruan family will have one piece, and even her aunt and Zheng's mother will also have a share. ”

In order to make it convenient to send things, Lou Shi asked Zhao Ning for an internal supervisor in her house from the beginning, and kept him in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

When Lou Shi said the last sentence, he was already gritting his teeth.

Dao Yi got the order and ran out quickly.

Lou Shi stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, and faced a cold wind, which woke people up. The snow that floated in the air fell to the ground and melted. So the ground outside is already completely wet, and you can't see the dry ground. Lou Shi asked, "Did she go out today?" ”

Wei Chu, who was standing behind Lou Shi, had a sad face. To tell the truth, only Chu could guess that Lou Shi would be angry, but he couldn't lie. After hesitating for a while, he finally said in detail: "I heard that the soldiers I heard said that the young lady and the Liu family who went to the Liu family at an hour in the past. The young lady wore a cotton jacket covered with brocade, and the green willow girl held an umbrella. The itinerary was the same as before, I still went to the house of the meat seller, but today I bought hooves. ”

When Lou Shi heard this, he said hatefully: "Don't worry about her in the future, sooner or later you will know that she is raising a white-eyed wolf, so she will cry." Has Liu Gui secretly gone out again recently? ”

Wei Chu took out a booklet from his arms, which recorded Liu Gui's daily actions in detail. According to the reading: "Liu Gongzi hasn't gone out much in the past few days, just the evening before yesterday, the young lady left Liu's house, and Liu Gongzi reported the itinerary with Mrs. Xiaosun on the grounds of borrowing books. Then it was the back door of the princess's mansion, and people sent a message to Lu Qian, wanting to see her. However, Lu Qian still didn't agree, so when Liu Gongzi came back, he was very disappointed. He sat on the edge of the pool behind his house for a while before going back. ”

Lou Shi asked, "Then he didn't borrow a book from anyone?" Mrs. Xiaosun didn't ask him why he was empty-handed? ”

Wei Chu glanced at the pamphlet and said, "Mrs. Xiaosun asked, Liu Gongzi only said that the person was not at home, and he waited for a long time in vain, and when he saw that it was dark, he estimated that the person could not go home, so he returned empty-handed." ”

Lou Shi turned around, walked to the book pavilion, took the booklet accurately and put it in his arms, and then suddenly said, "Prepare the horse, let's go out." ”

Wei Chu asked: "Where does the prince want to go?" ”

Lou Shi sneered: "Bookstore." She heard from Xiao Sun that she was going to buy him a book today. Thinking of this, Lou Shi vomited blood again. He gave her money because he wanted her to buy whatever she wanted, but she used it all to post to Liu Gui.

The more I thought about Lou Shi, the more sad I became, and I really didn't understand if Ruan Yuan was stupid. Lou Shi looked left and right, and he didn't see where Liu Gui was good to Ruan Yuan. What I only saw was that Ruan Yuan was hot and sticky to others, and people didn't appreciate it very much.

Lou Shi still thinks that he just admires Ruan Yuan, maybe he likes it a little, but he can't talk about love. It is precisely because of appreciation that he happens to have that ability, and Ruan Yuan is a person who only enjoys happiness but does not like to work, and is very vain. Although divorced, Lou Shi wanted to take care of Ruan Yuan, not to mention ensuring that Ruan Yuan's life in the Ruan family was worthy of Lou's family, and he didn't want to be too far behind.

But as a result, Lou Shi never expected that Ruan Yuan would give everything to Liu Gui.

When they came to the bookstore, Lou Shi's family pretended to read books one by one. Sure enough, I saw Ruan Yuan taking Green Willow and Green Bead, looking for books from door to door. He was wearing the same brocade-covered cotton jacket that Dao Yi said. Green Willow held an umbrella for her in the back.

Ruan Yuan raised her eyes and looked at Lou Shi, but she was quite surprised. After thinking about it, she is now the high-ranking Hou Shizi of Zhenbei, and she is just the daughter of a petty official. I thought it was just a thing of not knowing, and it was in the past.

It can be seen that Lou Shi's face is calm, as if he is going to collect debts, and the two of Lu Liu and Lu Zhu have already saluted Lou Shi: "The prince is blessed." ”

Ruan Yuan also bent his knees slightly and said, "The prince is blessed." ”

The only thing that immediately felt the aura emanating from Lou Shi's body was a little colder. couldn't help but shrink his neck, not knowing what to call Ruan Yuan. Then he saluted vaguely: "Less...... Less Husband...... Blessed are people. ”

Ruan Yuan still heard it clearly, and corrected: "Don't dare to call Brother Lao that, you can ignore me when you see me in the future, or you can call me Miss Ruan." ”

The only one unconsciously turned his head to look at Lou Shi, and then he shrunk his neck and retreated.

Ruan Yuan no longer paid attention to Lou Shi, and lowered her head to concentrate on finding books for Liu Gui. Asked the boss: "Boss, is there a collection of champions from previous years?" ”

The bookstall owner shook his head without thinking about it and said, "No, every year before the big exam, at this time, this kind of collection will be out of stock." If you want to find it, you have to wait for the spring of next year. I advised the girl not to waste any more effort, since I don't have it here, no one will have it at home. ”

Ruan Yuan didn't give up and said: "Then if I am willing to pay a high price, can the boss contact me with this?" Don't tell me you can't buy it, the boss only said can you get in touch? Tell me a price, I'll have the money ready. ”

Lou Shi heard that he was angry on the side, and he looked Ruan Yuan up and down. When she was in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei before, she liked to hang her body full of gold when she recognized her, but now, from head to hand, there is no thing that she likes to like on weekdays, yellow and shiny. There is no need to ask, Lou Shi also knows that this is a full subsidy for Liu Gui.

When the bookstall owner saw this, he hesitated for a while and said, "Since the girl is an understanding person, I won't say anything about it." At this time, if you want to buy this champion set, you have to ask someone to cut your love, and the same person who is taking the big exam in the spring of tomorrow, if it is not for the silver to a certain share, he will not give it up. I have a few poor people in my hands, and I guess I can copy this book I bought some time ago. The girl came back in three days, whether it was successful or not, a certain letter. ”

After thinking about it, the bookstall owner said, "But as long as the girl can afford it." ”

When Ruan Yuan heard this, she smiled and said, "You help me ask, I want more money." ”

The more Lou Shi listened, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but take out the book he had put in before from his arms, threw it to Ruan Yuan and said, "You don't have to buy it as jewelry, I have a ready-made book, I don't want your silver, take it to your cousin." ”

Ruan Yuan picked it up, looked through it, was not angry, and smiled politely: "Where is this from the prince?" Really give it to me? Then I'll take my cousin's behalf. Ming'er, my cousin is in high school, and I will take a gift to thank the prince for his gift. ”

Lou Shi immediately felt that ten thousand arrows pierced his heart.

Ruan Yuan carefully wrapped the book in a handkerchief and let the green willow be in her arms. Then he curtsied at Lou Shi and said, "The prince is here to buy books, right?" The prince of the world went shopping by himself, and I left first. My cousin was still anxious to read this book, and he didn't come home until midnight to borrow it the night before. ”

Lou Shi glanced at Ruan Yuan, didn't mention the book again, but said, "I can't buy this booklet I gave you, how much money is missing?" Say thank you and leave? ”

The bookstore owner interjected: "No, the main thing is that there is nowhere to buy it now that there is money." Childe, this book can be sold? In addition to this girl, I have a few rich men on hand who want to buy this book and keep an eye on it. Those few are no less temperamental than this girl, and as long as they are willing to sell, it doesn't matter how much it is. ”

Ruan Yuan glanced at the bookstore owner and said, "You are really joking, he gave me this book, it is mine, how can I resell it to you?" Besides, you see him dressed like a poor moneyman? ”

The owner of the bookstore choked up: "Who can't pay back the money?" ”

Ruan Yuan: "You ......"

Lou Shi smiled: "What are you talking about with him?" It is their nature to see interests and go up. I'll give you a book, and you can invite me to dinner. I know there's a nice restaurant not far from here, and the food is delicious. ”

In fact, Lou Shi's original intention was to let Ruan Yuan have a good meal. In the past, when I was in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, although Ruan Yuan was not used to eating the things in the Hou Mansion, she could eat whatever she wanted in the Princess Mansion. However, the Ruan family's life is extremely hard. And Ruan Yuan used money to buy meat for Liu Gui every day, but she only ate meat once in a few days.

So Lou Shi wanted to ask Ruan Yuan to invite him to dinner and make a big sacrifice.

But what Ruan Yuan thought was that she spent a little less money, and she wouldn't make money, so she didn't come to the money. And if Liu Gui passed the Spring Festival exam, it would cost money, so Lou Shiyue said that the restaurant was good, and Ruan Yuan's eyes were the silver that flew away. But when I think about it again, I really can't say anything about taking other people's books in vain.

So Ruan Yuan talked about the price and said, "It's okay to invite the prince to eat, but I want to order the dishes." ”

Originally, Lou Shi just wanted Ruan Yuan to eat what she liked, of course there was no objection. So the two of them walked south along the bookstore, and sure enough, there was a big restaurant not far away, with colorful flags flying high, and a lot of horses tied at the door.

The first floor is a hall, and there is a little second who comes up to greet him, and he seems to be very familiar with Lou Shi, so he shouted inside: "Lou Shizi is on the north of the second floor." ”

Ruan Yuan followed Lou Shi upstairs and whispered, "Are you a frequent visitor here?" ”

Lou Shi said: "I used to come here to pick up medical books, and this is the largest bookstore in the capital." Most of the orphans in the family were obtained from here. When I'm tired, I come here to rest, and here is a private room that I have been booking all year round. ”

Ruan Yuan asked casually, "Is Hou Ye's illness cured?" No more repetitions? Sun Xiu's medical skills are okay, but his temperament is a little better. By the way, did the prince find anything? ”

When you enter the private room, the inside is really different from the outside, and it is also different from the ordinary restaurant, there are no common utensils such as tables and chairs in the private room. Under the window is a large soft couch with a small square table in the middle. Ruan Yuan familiarly embroidered the soft soles prepared in the room for the shoes that came in, and then stepped to the soft couch, put the blanket on the couch over her legs, and found that there was a copper stove inside, which was hot, and there must have been charcoal in it.

Ruan Yuan gathered inside, sighing contentedly.

Lou Shi saw it and was very happy. So he changed his shoes and sat opposite Ruan Yuan, which was very bland, which was a normal thing. Lou Shi and the shopkeeper who followed up inquired about what incense was smoked today and what today's specialties were. The shopkeeper replied to the second and the first. Then, after hearing Ruan Yuan's peace words, the good mood was not at all.

Ruan Yuan closed her eyes, rubbed the copper stove and said, "I'll go out in a while, I'll buy one too." In this way, no matter how cold Ming'er is, my cousin will not freeze his hands when he reads. ”

Looking at Lou Shi's face, even the green beads who didn't have any eyes on weekdays couldn't wait to cover Ruan Yuan's mouth.

Lou Shi said coldly: "You don't want to invite me to dinner?" What do you eat without ordering? ”

Ruan Yuan glanced at Lou Shi and said, "You are getting weirder and weirder." You weren't a big talker before. When you're happy, tell me about the anecdotes of the DPRK or whose family, why are we separated and you become like a child? ”

Lou Shi glared at Ruan Yuan and didn't speak.

Ruan Yuan smiled and asked the shopkeeper, "May I ask what kind of food you have here that are cheap?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, looked at Lou Shi and didn't speak.

Lou Shi said angrily: "There are no cheap dishes here." ”

Ruan Yuan didn't give up, and said to the shopkeeper: "You report the name of the dish, and even the price is reported to me, compared to the dishes in this store, there is always the cheapest, right?" Start with the least amount of money. ”

The shopkeeper has also been in this store for many years, and it is the first time he has encountered this kind of customer. It was the first time I was asked for such a request, and I didn't know what to do, so I had to still look at Lou Shi.

Ruan Yuan said: "If you can't report it, go outside and call for it, don't stand here." After eating, I'm still in a hurry. ”

Lou Shi wanted to see what kind of dishes Ruan Yuan could order, and said to the shopkeeper: "If you want to report it, you will report it, what are you doing with me?" ”

The shopkeeper thought sadly and indignantly: Why do you come here for a treat? I had to start with the cheapest dish in the store. Although Ruan Yuan listened to it directly, she didn't shout at all. After all, she is also a person who has lived a new life, and this knowledge is still there.

So, Ruan Yuan chose the cheapest four dishes from the dishes reported by the shopkeeper. said: "This is enough for us to eat, and we can't waste more than that." ”

Lou Shi glanced at Ruan Yuan and didn't say anything.

The shopkeeper was about to go out and instruct the kitchen to cook, and Ruan Yuan said again: "What do you have cold meat here?" Can there be beef? ”

When Lou Shi heard this, he sighed in his heart, Ruan Yuan finally found out in his conscience and was willing to order him a decent dish. Originally, he didn't plan to really let Ruan Yuan settle the bill, so he was about to say it with a smile.

After Ruan Yuan saw the shopkeeper nodding, he said, "Give me two catties of sauce beef wrapped in lotus leaves, and I'll take it away in a while." He turned his head to Lou Shi and said, "My cousin likes to eat this the most, but unfortunately there is no beef sold outside, but I didn't expect it to be here, so I can often come here to buy it in the future."
