Chapter 52: Silk Silk
The snow in Liaodong has hardly stopped, and it has been falling intermittently since the day Yu Ruoxu came. The wound on her hand was almost healed, and she was going to leave for home in two days.
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and even the city of Nagashu, which is shrouded in the haze of war, is hung with red lanterns, illuminating a warm and bleak snowy scene. It may be that the strategy of the flying ants did not achieve the expected effect, Tuoba Gui still has troops in the north, but has never launched an offensive, and the situation between the two armies has lasted for nearly a month, torturing each other's patience.
A few days ago, Yu Ruoxu received a letter from the capital. It seems that Yu Zhongjun was frightened by her injury this time, and directly wrote a personal letter to Yang Zhen, asking him to protect Yu Ruoxu's thoughtfulness. In addition, Yu Zhongjun also mentioned Xu Xiao'e in the letter.
After the last showdown, Xu Xiao'e and Yun Bi were barely quiet for a few days, while Yu Zhongjun withstood the pressure from the clan side and offered to hand over another thirty percent of the gold mine to be added to the treasury as war military expenses. The Queen Mother Fengyan was very happy, rewarded the Yu family with a lot of rare treasures as a reward, and asked Aunt Huang to personally lead the palace people to send the gifts to the Yu Mansion, which was considered to be enough face.
In order to reassure her, Yu Zhongjun also specifically mentioned that he was in charge of the gold mine account books, and only a fake account book was left outside to confuse the public. As a result, Xu Xiao'e healed the scar and forgot the pain, and on the day Aunt Huang came, she secretly took away the fake account book. But this time they learned wisely, and knew to replace this one with another fake account book, but after a few days, they unknowingly changed it back.
"Changed back?" Yu Ruoxu sneered and said to herself, "Xu Xiao'e and Yun Bi were probably forced to be in a hurry, and they dared to send them to the palace knowing that they were fake account books." ”
The Queen Mother must have discovered that this was a fake account book, and she also understood that the Yu family had begun to guard against Xu Xiao'e.
Yu Ruoxu took the letter paper and couldn't help frowning, this time the Yu family secretly took the queen mother's army, and openly handed over more gold mines, so that she could not make mistakes, and also secretly told her that the Yu family had noticed her plan, so ...... Will you be able to get her to stop, or will you force her to continue with other tricks?
Yu Ruoxu's thoughts were a little confused, and she suddenly found that the snow that had been flowing for half a month seemed to have become smaller, but there were still some fine snowflakes floating in the sky. She couldn't help but put on a big hat, walked out of the room, took a deep breath, and thought to herself that she was suffocating in the room to recuperate.
The wound on the hand was too deep, leaving a few deep scars, and the marks of the last cut by the bowstring had not yet dissipated, and the white palm was covered with wounds, even if it was applied to remove the scar, it was not of much use.
Yu Ruoxu looked at her hands blankly, and couldn't help but sigh, there was always a little mustard in her heart.
"Why did Miss Yu come out?" Tie Niang walked from the direction of the kitchen with the medicine, "It's windy outside, Miss Yu beware of catching a cold." ”
"How can I be so weak?" Yu Ruoxu smiled, "I've been stuffy in the house for so many days, and I have to come out to breathe." ”
"Then you have to be careful of the wind chill." Tie Niang persuaded, "Miss Yu should go into the house and drink the medicine, otherwise it will be more bitter if it gets cold." ”
Yu Ruoxu was helpless, so she had to turn around and enter the house, pick up the medicine bowl and pour the bitter medicinal juice into her throat. Tie Niang hurriedly handed over a candied fruit, "Miss Yu looks quite like our young lady when she drinks medicine." ”
"Really?" Yu Ruoxu took the candied fruit in her mouth and asked vaguely.
"Our young lady is too, she never lets others feed her, she always pours it all into her stomach in one go, and she says that the long pain is better than the short pain." Tetsu explained.
"Miss Yang is absolutely right." Yu Ruoxu nodded and said, "Long pain is better than short pain." “
After that, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Tie Niang, you start to help me pack my luggage in the past two days, my injuries are almost healed, and it's time to go back to the capital." “
"Is Miss leaving?" Tie Niang was a little surprised, "...... the prince over there"
"I'll tell him, and you can do what I tell you." Yu Ruoxu said, "I've been delayed in Liaodong for too long this time, I'm afraid that the news has leaked out of the capital, which is not good for the prince and me." ”
After all...... Yu Zhongjun and Marquis Dingyuan are still in the court. Moreover, there is no one in the backyard of the Yu family to help with the housework, and it is all supported by Yu Zhongjun alone, which is afraid that it will be extremely hard.
"The slave understands." Tie Niang glanced at her, didn't say anything, and started to get busy.
In the evening, Yu Ruoxu calculated that Liang Jin was almost coming back, seeing that the weather was getting better, and even had a thin twilight, so he simply went to the door to wait for him.
When Liang Jin came back from horseback, he saw Yu Ruoxu standing at the door wearing a snow-white coat, with a petite figure and beautiful facial features, like a docile white fox.
He couldn't help but breathe, she looked like this, like ...... A wife waiting for her husband to come home.
Yu Ruoxu saw that he didn't get off the horse for a long time, just stared straight at her, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The prince doesn't recognize me?" ”
Liang Jin was stunned, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, "Why did you come out?" Beware of the cold. ”
"How do you say exactly the same thing to Iron Lady." Yu Ruoxu covered her lips and smiled, "I'm fine, I'm just suffocating in the house, and the wound is almost healed, and I want to take the opportunity to come out and walk around more." ”
Liang Jin walked up to him and held her hand in a ghostly manner, "Your hands are so cold, and you still say it's okay?" ”
Yu Ruoxu's face was hot, and she hurriedly pulled out her hand, "Let's go in first, I have something to tell you." ”
Liang Jin clenched his fists, his face was a little dark, "Okay." ”
By the time they entered the house, the people had already lit the stove, and the whole room was very warm. Yu Ruoxu took off her coat first, and seeing that Liang Jin had been fiddling with her collar, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"I went out in a hurry in the morning, and I accidentally tied it into a dead knot." Liang Jin pointed to his big coat a little innocently, "Look, I can't take it off for half a day." ”
When Yu Ruoxu heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward, and took a closer look, the silk silk tied with the big silk was wrapped into a dead knot at his collar, she couldn't help sighing, and stretched out her hand to help him untie the messy silk silk, "You, you're not a child anymore, why are you so unparticular about going out?" “
Liang Jin was a little arrogant, "Anyway, the silk silk is also black, and the big silk is also black, and the soldiers can't see it." ”
Yu Ruoxu was choked by his words, and held back for a long time before saying, "Anyway, you are always reasonable." ”
Liang Jin lowered his head and saw that she was very close to him, seriously helping him untie the dead knot on his chest, and he could almost smell the faint aroma on her body. His gaze turned and he saw a few rare red marks on his fingers, which were as white as jade, layered and intertwined, as if dyed with red cinnabar.
He suddenly had the urge to hug her into his arms, but before he could stretch out his hand, Yu Ruoxu said, "I have already instructed Tie Niang to start packing up things...... Prepare to leave in a few days. ”
Liang Jin seemed to freeze, "...... Going? ”
Yu Ruoxu sighed faintly, "I've been delaying for too long, and I can't always trouble you." ”
She still maintained the posture of bowing her head and concentrating on helping him untie the silk, and did not dare to look into his eyes at all. She was afraid that when she saw his eyes, she would immediately relent.
Liang Jin suddenly reached out, held her hand in front of his chest, and said in a low voice, "Your injuries are not yet healed, and now that the wind and snow are so big, will you stay for a few more days?" ”
Yu Ruoxu raised his eyes to look at him, only to see that his dark eyes were full of hope and pleading, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Liang Jin, now is not the time to make a child lose his temper. “
"I ...... I seem to get used to you here. Liang Jin was silent for a moment, then smiled desolately, "I was originally careless, but now I suddenly have something to fear." I'm afraid that you're not here, I'm afraid I won't see you, even if it's a day, I'll feel sad. ”
Yu Ruoxu's palms were sweaty, and she was a little flustered in an instant, "Liang Jin......"
"I think I'm stunned." Liang Jin looked at her and sighed, "I know what you want to say, this time it's me who is too willful......"
Yu Ruoxu's heart seemed to be pinched fiercely by a pair of hands, "...... I'll leave after Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
"What?"
"In three days, it's Chinese New Year's Eve." Yu Ruoxu's voice was almost inaudible, "I'll accompany you for Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
Liang Jin was stunned, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but ask again, "Really?" ”
"When did I lie to you?" Yu Ruoxu smiled, withdrew his hand from his warm palm, and made a gesture to hook his little finger, "Do you still need to pull the hook?" “
Liang Jin nodded hurriedly and said, "I believe it." I've always believed in you. “
Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but laugh when he saw him at a loss for surprise, "Okay, don't move, I'll help you untie the silk." ”
Liang Jin hurriedly stood up obediently, motionless, "If you are so ingenious, you will definitely be able to solve it." ”
"Is there honey in the barracks? Why is the mouth so sweet? Yu Ruoxu glanced at him, her white fingers flipped flexibly, and it didn't take long for the silk silk to be straightened out, "Okay." “
Yu Ruoxu didn't expect Liang Jin to say such a thing, she wasn't sure what he meant, just like she wasn't sure of her own mind.
She didn't seem to have dreamed of Yue Zirong for a long time, and what she experienced in Langzhong a year ago gave her the illusion of being like her previous life.
But what about Liang Jin? Did he let it go completely? So in his heart, what is Princess Jiangcheng?
Does she like Liang Jin? She didn't know it herself.
She thought that she had buried all her love in Langzhong with Yue Zirong, and now she just wanted to find Yu Ruoqing as soon as possible and guard Yu Zhongjun for the rest of her life.
But she just met Liang Jin.
Yu Ruoxu felt that she was about to be driven crazy by these thoughts, so she simply took Tie Niang and Pei Changyuan to Bingzhou City to go shopping with Tie Niang and Pei Changyuan.
Due to his lack of experience when he came, he didn't expect the official road in Liaodong to be so difficult to walk, Yu Ruoxu was so upset that he had palpitations, and this time he specially asked Pei Changchang to buy more cotton wool and spread it on the carriage, which would be slightly more comfortable. Later, he also bought a light dagger and some spare medicinal herbs, which should be used for self-defense.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the entire city is filled with a strong smell of the New Year. Every household has pasted the Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, and some stores have closed their doors one after another. However, as the year approaches, there are still a lot of business travelers, and although the business of the restaurant is no longer as lively as it used to be, it is not deserted.
Yu Ruoxu was hungry, so she took Tie Niang and Pei Changyuan to the nearest restaurant, they sat in the private room on the second floor, ordered a few dishes and snacks casually, and asked for a pot of tea, which was supposed to warm up.
"Miss, this beef is not as good as the beef from the post station outside the city." Pei Changchang took a bite with difficulty, his face was a little painful, "There is no taste, the key is that he is too old." “
Yu Ruoxu said with a smile, "Now is an extraordinary time, and there is only one future." “
Pei Changchang said helplessly, "Yes, I don't know how long the Xianbei people are going to trap us, now the materials are tight, and it is extremely inconvenient to enter and exit, and many people in Bingzhou hate the Xianbei people to death." ”
When the two countries are at war, it is the people who suffer first.
As if in response to Pei Changyuan's words, he only heard a shopkeeper at the door shouting, "You! Get out! There are rules in this store, Xianbei people are not allowed to enter! “
Yu Ruoxu looked out the window and crashed into a dark blue eye unexpectedly.
