Yu Ruoxu said with some embarrassment, "If you still want to eat dumplings, let me go quickly." “

Liang Jin was stunned, and let go of her a little reluctantly, with a hint of satisfied cunning in the corners of his eyes, "It seems that it still works." ”

Yu Ruoxu's face turned red, she lowered her head and pretended not to hear, pinched the dumplings in her hand into beautiful folds, and gently placed them on the table.

Liang Jin saw a wooden table board placed on the stove, on which more than twenty dumplings were neatly arranged, and couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect you to make dumplings so well." ”

Yu Ruoxu raised her eyebrows, "This is what my mother taught me by hand, you can be regarded as a blessing." “

"Really?" Liang Jin heard her talk about her mother for the first time, "Ling Tang must be Lan Xinhui, so he can teach a daughter like you." ”

Hearing him say this, Yu Ruoxu really couldn't hold back, even the roots of his ears were dyed red, and he whispered, "Don't praise me anymore, blame shy." ”

Liang Jin saw her looking like a shy little daughter, and suddenly felt very fresh, and couldn't help but continue to tease her, "I have always only told the truth, so don't be modest." ”

Yu Ruoxu looked at him with a sly smile in his eyes, and put a dumpling wrapper in his hand angrily, "If the prince is in a hurry, come and help the folk girl make dumplings together, and the speed of the two of them will be faster." ”

Seeing her puffing out, Liang Jin couldn't help but raise the dumpling skin in his hand, and said a little innocently, "I won't make dumplings...... Why don't you teach me? ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, remembering that he was originally a noble woman, and it was normal for his ten fingers not to touch the spring water, so he only sighed and took the dumpling skin in his hand, "Roll up your sleeves first." ”

"The students obeyed." Liang Jin smiled narrowly and obediently did what she said, "And then?" ”

"Come here." Yu Ruoxu scooped out a spoonful from the wooden basin with the filling on the side and gently placed it in the center of the dumpling skin, "Put the appropriate amount of filling on the skin, and then slowly pinch out the folds to make it look like an ingot...... That's it. ”

Yu Ruoxu's hands pressed dexterously, and a dumpling with a bulging belly lay in her palm.

Liang Jin suddenly realized, "So that's the case." ”

"You try?" Yu Ruoxu said with a smile, and took another dumpling wrapper and handed it to him.

Liang Jin began to pinch the folds on the dumpling skin a little awkwardly, after all, it was the first time he did it, either the skin was broken, or the folds were not at all like pinching, and he couldn't see the appearance of the dumplings at all.

There was a fire in the kitchen, and the temperature was a little higher than outside. Yu Ruoxu saw a few drops of sweat oozing from Liang Jin's forehead, and suddenly remembered that he had to go to the barracks to guard in the second half of the night, and suddenly felt a trace of unbearability in his heart, "Forget it, it's still ......."

"I'm all right, look!" Liang Jin was as happy as a child, held up his right hand, and held up the decent dumpling in his palm in front of her, "Does this count?" “

Yu Ruoxu looked at him as if he was offering a treasure, looked at himself nervously, and couldn't help but be a little funny, "I didn't expect you to leave the school so soon." “

Liang Jin was in a good mood, didn't bother to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and said with a smile, "It's still thanks to Master Yu's teaching." “

Yu Ruoxu laughed out loud, "Don't dare to be." “

The two of them wrapped the dumplings with a smile, and asked the next person to cook them and send them to the study. Liang Jin was still complaining that if he hadn't had to go to the barracks to keep vigil in the second half of the night, he would have asked someone to bring a pot of sake.

Yu Ruoxu comforted him and said, "When you return to Beijing, you don't have to worry about so much." “

Liang Jin paused and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's good now." ”

Yu Ruoxu was silent, if he returned to the capital...... Can they still be like this?

"Ruoxu." Liang Jin saw that she was distracted for a while, and couldn't help but call her softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about it......" Yu Ruoxu sighed leisurely, "In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not yet been returned." ”

Liang Jin's eyes darkened, "When the war comes, the people of Li are the most bitter. ”

Yu Ruoxu suddenly asked, "When you inherit the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, which can be regarded as one person under ten thousand people, what do you want to do most at that time?" ”

Liang Jin seemed to be asked, thought carefully for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Make a break with the emperor." ”

Yu Ruoxu was taken aback, "What did you say?" ”

"Now that the Liang family is dominant, and the imperial power is falling, the emperor will definitely not be reconciled." Liang Jin frowned and said, "When the time comes, there will definitely be a turmoil...... It's almost time to make a break. “

She remembered the disaster of the eunuch party back then, and it was also the excessive expansion of Zhao Eunuch's power, which directly overthrew the emperor and replaced the Son of Heaven to lead the six departments. In order to regain power, the first emperor chose to marry the Liang family, and finally exterminated the eunuch party in one fell swoop with the help of the power of the Marquis of Dingyuan.

But now it seems...... There is not much difference between the Liang family and the eunuchs of the year.

"It's really an endless stream of internal and external troubles." Yu Ruoxu sighed, "Except for Xianbei, there is also Guangling, and there is no one who is worry-free." “

"yes." Liang Jin said, "If a family is too large, it will naturally give birth to some moths...... Our Liang family is like this, and we have made a good Guangling work like it is now, and I am afraid that we will repeat the mistakes of Langzhong before. ”

Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, she had heard Yu Zhongjun say these words, but she didn't expect Liang Jin, who is a descendant of the Liang family, to understand this, "You ......"

"Although I am a member of the Liang family, I also have eyes and know how to understand right and wrong." Liang Jin's face gradually revealed a stern look, "In this situation, the Liang family seems to have a fire cooking oil and flowers, but in fact, the building is about to collapse, and something will happen sooner or later...... Not to mention the emperor's side, according to the current situation in Guangling, the people will change...... I'm afraid it's coming. “

Yu Ruoxu took a sip of tea, "It's rare for you to be confused." “

He is just a fourth-grade scholar in the court, although he holds the title of the prince of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, he is hardly promising, and many people think that he is just an idle post...... Unexpectedly, he could see the affairs of the Liang family and the court so thoroughly.

"If my father had heard me say this, he would have punished me for kneeling in the ancestral hall and thinking about it." Liang Jin smiled, "I can only talk to you." “

"Since you know it in your heart...... Have you ever thought about what to do in the future? Yu Ruoxu asked softly.

Liang Jin picked up a dumpling, "My fate is naturally tied to the Liang family, so I can only take one step at a time...... After all, you have to live. ”

Yu Ruoxu understood what he meant, their fate, from the moment they were born, was destined to be closely linked to the fate of their own family, even if they died, they could not break free.

She smiled bitterly, "yes...... Gotta live. ”

Liang Jin also sandwiched a dumpling for her, "Don't talk patronizingly, the dumplings won't taste good when they're cold." ”

Yu Ruo nodded and put the dumplings in her mouth, "What do you think?" ”

"It's delicious." Liang Jin said without hesitation, "It's the best dumpling I've ever tasted." ”

Yu Ruoxu smiled, "I've never seen you so supportive." ”

"Really, I don't lie to you." Liang Jin swallowed another dumpling and said vaguely, "No one in the family has ever made dumplings for me to eat." ”

Yu Ruoxu remembered the discord between the Marquis of Dingyuan and Mrs. Lin, and asked cautiously, "Does Mrs. Hou still live in the Lin family?" ”

Liang Jin nodded, as if he had been relieved, "Actually, this is also very good, my mother doesn't have to calculate anything with my father's concubines every day, but it will be quiet." ”

"Yes, sometimes I think that the smaller the number of people in the family, the better." Yu Ruoxu snorted coldly, "The princess of our family was really making endless trouble before. ”

Liang Jin had heard about some of the princesses of Nanyue intermittently, and when he saw her unhappy look, he couldn't help but smile, "Born in a family like ours, this is also a helpless thing." ”

"That's true." Yu Ruoxu smiled bitterly, "I sometimes think, why do you want to marry so many concubines and have so many children? Clearly...... Everybody's not happy. ”

When she was in Langzhong, Yu Ruoxu saw too much about the renovation of the concubines in the main house, as well as the competition between brothers and sisters, and she really had a headache when she thought about it.

Liang Jin was speechless by her question, and after a while, he said slowly, "Maybe it's because of ...... I don't like it enough. “

"What?"

"Because I don't like it enough, it's the same with anyone, marrying one is also marrying, marrying ten is also marrying, just to prolong the heir." Liang Jin looked into her eyes, "If you really meet someone you like, just one of her is enough, how can you tolerate others." ”

Under the candlelight, Liang Jin's good-looking eyes shone brightly, Yu Ruoxu felt as if she was trapped in his gaze, and her voice was a little hoarse, "You ......"

"Lord Shizi." A knock on the door interrupted Yu Ruoxu's words, only to hear a deep male voice coming from outside the door, "The horse is ready, is it time to go?" ”

Yu Ruo came back to his senses suddenly, and it was already the second watch.

Liang Jin said calmly, "Okay, I'll come out immediately." With that, he stood up and sighed, "It's so late...... You should rest early, stay up all night and hurt yourself. “

"Well, you be careful all the way." Yu Ruoxu instructed.

Liang Jin took a deep look at her and hurried away. Yu Ruoxu went back to the room to wash, and then lay on the bed tossing and turning, but she couldn't close her eyes.

At night, the snow seems to be falling heavier. Yu Ruoxu heard the sound of snow particles hitting the window, eager and dense, like the beat of a drum on the battlefield, and smashed on her heart.

Yu Ruoxu really couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and lit a candle and found a random book to read. But before she had read two pages, she seemed to hear a faint sound of trumpets in the distance, mixed with the sound of snow particles smashing on the window edge.

She was so shocked that her hair stood on end, and she quickly sat up and shouted, "Pei Changchang! “

A moment later, Pei Changyuan's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"Did you hear the horn?" Yu Ruoxu said urgently, "From what direction did it come from?" ”

Pei Changyuan was stunned for a moment, and listened carefully, "It seems to be ...... It came from the north of the city. ”

Yu Ruoxu's heart sank, and the Xianbei people finally made a move.
