Chapter XII

"Because he said he had admired you for a long time."

Facing Shen Ruyu's question, the woman in a loose green robe looked upright and innocent, sat on the low stool next to the table, and gave an answer very confidently.

This woman and the prince looked quite similar, with a baby-faced face and white flesh, and looked much younger than her actual age.

Her hair was clean and fresh, simply curled up with black yarn, without decoration, revealing only a plain and innocent face.

Shen Ruyu didn't have anything to do with this simple-minded friend, "...... Don't you know that Wen Ming is Wen Jun's fiancΓ©? ”

"I know." Wang Zijun nodded in confusion, "But he said that he has admired your piano skills for a long time, why, with a marriage contract, can't you even admire other people's piano skills?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you know that Wen Ming and Wen Jun broke off their engagement yesterday? ”

Wang Zijun's expression suddenly lit up, "Isn't that even more problematic!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Zijun," Shen Ruyu looked at her, and couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her forehead, "You sue me, are you and Wen Jun really friends......

"However, the boy came to help us do a lot of things, soup kitchen, take care of the children, and did a good job, and I saw that he was not a bad person, so I agreed to help him." Wang Zijun cautiously looked at Shen Ruyu's face, no longer the white and delicate hands he had when he was the eldest lady at home, subconsciously held his face, and his eyes widened uneasily, "What did I do wrong?" Did he you off? ”

Looking at her like this, Shen Ruyu didn't know whether she should be angry or not.

She sighed slightly, and could only shake her head, "That's it, no...... It's just that in the future, don't lend the seal to outsiders lightly. ”

"Okay." The prince hung his head in disagreement.

Shen Ruyu smiled helplessly at her, and when she raised her eyes, she saw her twisted fingers, among which almost half of the nails on the index finger of her left hand had been lifted, and she immediately frowned, and held her hand closer to take a closer look, "What's the matter with you?" Didn't you have the medicine I brought you last time? ”

"Oh, it's too troublesome, this little injury, ignore it, it will get better in a few days." Wang Zijun puffed out his mouth, "And there are so many things in the view, the wound medicine is sticky on the hands, and it is not convenient to do things at all." ”

Shen Ruyu didn't know what to say to her, she held her hand, and went straight to Wang Zijun's eyes with some annoyance, trying to let her see her wounds clearly, Wang Zijun seemed to think it was funny, and hid back with a cry of "oops" in her mouth, while laughing uncontrollably, "What are you doing." ”

"Look at it, it's all injured like this, don't look at it now, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, if you accidentally get into the body, maybe the entire palm will have to be cut off!"

Wang Zijun took his hand back with a smile, "Ruyu, you scare me again, you always lied to me when you were a child." ”

Shen Ruyu raised her head and glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "How could I have lied to you?" ”

Wang Zijun pursed his lips, "When I was a child, I ate watermelon, you always spit out all the watermelon seeds, I was troublesome, I always swallowed them together, and you told me that watermelon seeds would sprout in my stomach and then grow out of my ears." Did you say that? ”

"......" Shen Ruyu suddenly coughed lowly, gently put Wang Zijun's hand on her knee, stood up and turned around. …… I'll give you a dressing. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay," Wang Zijun had a disgusted expression of "It's really troublesome, but since Ruyu said so, then give you the medicine", but she looked at Shen Ruyu, who was extremely skillful in turning out the location of the medicine in her room, and suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously, "By the way, Ruyu, when my servant came to give me something last time, it seemed that what happened to you and Zizhi?" ”

Shen Ruyu turned out the wound medicine he sent last time, and walked back to Wang Zijun's side in confusion, "Zizhi? ”

As if she didn't understand at all, she raised Wang Zijun's hand and gently smeared the medicine on her cracked nails with clean silk, "What's wrong with me and Zizhi?" ”

Wang Zijun shook his head suspiciously, "I don't know either...... I saw a few of them very happy, and told me that Zizhi came to see me that day, and I saw you as soon as I went out, and then you talked to Zizhi, and when Zizhi came out, the whole person was a little unrelenting. ”

Ruyu made an expression that thought for a moment, "...... the Lantern Festival?" ”

Wang Zijun nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, it seems that this is the time!" ”

"What seems to be that time," Shen Ruyu angrily and funny put aside the medicated silk, took out the bandage, and gently bandaged her wound, "I seem to be talking about Zizhi often meeting." ”

"Alas," Wang Zijun was at the mercy of Shen Ruyu with one hand, and the other hand was a little bored to play with her long hair, and sighed softly, "If it weren't for His Majesty...... Ruyu, you should have married a long time ago. If you were like a normal girl, you got married at the age of fifteen, and the child would be two years old by now. ”

Shen Ruyu laughed lowly, "You are one year older than me, why do you feel that I am here, if you are not a monk, the child will be one year older than my child." ”

"I'm not a monk! Not a monk! Wang Zijun emphasized unhappily, "I just thought, how good it would be if Zizhi could marry you." In this way we are not only friends...... It's still a relative! ”

When Shen Ruyu heard her say this, she remembered other things, and her subordinates couldn't help but pause slightly, "Speaking of which, Zizhi is fifteen this year, right?" ”

"Well, yes, he's two years younger than you."

Shen Ruyu thought for a long time, "Then it's time for him to get married......

"yes." As soon as the topic turned to this aspect, Wang Zijun couldn't help but worry, "Speaking of which, fifteen years old is already a bit old......

She saw Shen Ruyu pursing her lips unconsciously, frowning, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she came to her senses, "Whatβ€”β€”? Ruyu, are you straight? ”

"Am I straight?" Shen Ruyu raised her eyebrows at her a little tricky, "How about my son?" What can I do to him? ”

Thinking of the majesty in the palace, Wang Zijun couldn't help but be depressed, "Yes." When is it a stalemate like this? Why don't you just leave it at that? I see that His Majesty looks good, and he treats you well, and you are not the kind of character who is bound by worldly mediocrity, so why don't you just live a good life with him? It's better than being stuck here like this. ”

This kind of thing, only the simple-minded Wang Zijun can say it so naturally.

Shen Ruyu shook her head with a smile, and finally finished bandaging her wound, "...... I can't make a decision. ”

"Yes," Wang Zijun nodded seriously, "Your mother's ...... If you want me to say, if she is really reluctant, she should have set up a family affair for you as soon as possible, I see that Your Majesty is arrogant, even if she likes you, she will definitely disdain bad marriages, but your mother is ......"

"My mother, as the head of the Shen family, always has to think more about the family." Shen Ruyu lowered her eyes lightly, as if she was not interested in this topic, she stood up, looked at Wang Zijun and sighed gently, "Your hands, pay more attention to yourself, don't get wet in the last few days." No matter how busy Changchun Temple is, it will not collapse without you. ”

"That's like jade," Wang Zijun's eyes rolled slyly, "You sue me, did you just think about Zizhi?" ”

Shen Ruyu turned around to put the medicine away, and replied to her angrily: "I'm just thinking, there doesn't seem to be a suitable woman for him in the capital, and I don't know what he should doβ€”as a good friend of his sister, is it strange to worry like this?" ”

"Not strange." Wang Zijun pursed his lips and shook his head with a snicker. "Not surprising at all."

Seeing that Shen Ruyu was too lazy to take care of her, Wang Zijun stood up by himself, put his hands behind his back, and staggered closer to Ruyu's cheek, "Ruyu, what do you think of our family?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What are you doing," Shen Ruyu glanced at her helplessly, "You really want to push your brother into the fire pit." ”

"No, it's really." Wang Zijun looked at her seriously, "You don't know, your mother is doing this too much." My father and mother are a little overwhelmed, not to mention other families. said that he didn't want you to enter the palace, but he dragged your marriage for a long time, and outsiders looked like they were forced by the emperor, don't we know that we are all from the same family? is not the daughter of an ordinary low-level official, if a marriage contract is made, can the emperor still rob it? ”

"How many men in the capital who are suitable for you are in pain, haven't you noticed that the number of people who have married in recent years is very small? Because they are not willing to give up on you like this, they always feel that if they wait, wait a little longer, maybe Shen Ruyu will be ready to get engaged? ”

Shen Ruyu tilted her head and thought about it, and laughed, "I'm really popular." ”

Wang Zijun immediately pressed her hand and snorted very unhappily: "...... Hum. Ruyu, if you are going to marry one day, if you don't give priority to my brother, our friends won't have to do it! Didn't have to do it! Do you know! ”

Shen Ruyu shrugged her shoulders and nodded with a perfunctory smile, "Good, good, good." ”

"That's right," Wang Zijun didn't care whether she was sincere or not, and when he saw her nodding, he let go of his hand with satisfaction, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, and turned her head to look out the window, "The hour is almost up." ”

"The hour? What time is it? Shen Ruyu looked at her suspiciously.

"Ah, that's the one you said, Prince Wen Mingβ€”he's coming to help every day at this hourβ€”"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ruyu heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door, "Wang Dao Chief." ”

Wang Zijun looked at Shen Ruyu, whose eyes widened for a moment, with an innocent expression, "...... I just remembered. ”

Shen Ruyu took a deep breath, "...... Zijun, you sue me, do you really regard me as a friend......"

Wang Zijun covered his face as if he was shy, "Oops...... I just forgot about it for a while. ”

Shen Ruyu showed a feigned anger at her, and Wang Zijun grimaced at her embarrassedly.

…… Shen Ruyu covered her forehead with a headache, "You are really ...... My evil star. ”

Wang Zijun grinned and walked towards the door, "Come on, come on." ”

Wen Ming was originally standing outside the door waiting with his eyes down, when he heard the wooden door in front of him creak open, he raised his eyes, and at first glance saw the beautiful figure standing in the room behind Wang Zijun.

She doesn't look like much change from her memory, she is still so beautiful, unstained, wide robe with big sleeves, plain clothes and light shirts, fluttering like a fairy.

She stood there quietly, her expression a little helpless, obviously she didn't do anything, she could easily attract all his attention.

Shen Ruyu was also looking at him.

Teenage years are the time when teenagers change the most, and at first glance, she almost doesn't recognize them.

Compared with the beauty of androgynous at the beginning, the current teenager has gradually grown up, revealing an obvious masculine atmosphere. His facial features are handsome, his eyebrows are calm, especially his pale thin lips, and there is always a sense of color that is very suitable for kissing people.

I don't know if he is still affected by the name "Little as Jade", Wen Ming's long crow-like hair is lightly pulled, wearing a green shirt with wide sleeves, and the whole person is as tall as green mountains and green bamboos.

When Shen Ruyu saw his gaze, she smiled at him, "Long time no see." ”

Wen Ming's face turned red, he blinked in a daze, opened his mouth for a long time, and then stumbled and replied, "Okay, good, long time no see." ”

"Do you have anything to say?" Wang Zijun looked at the two of them and clapped his hands, "Then I'll go to the Taoist temple first." ”

Seeing her leave so happily, Shen Ruyu thought-

Can she beat her to death.

Shen Ruyu sighed slightly, seeing that Wen Ming was still standing outside stupidly, she thought about it, turned around and walked to the table in the room, took two cups, and poured tea.

She sat on the stool, made an inviting gesture to the other stool next to her, looked at Wen Ming and smiled, "Sit down." Didn't you say you wanted to see me? ”

Wen Ming pursed his lips nervously, crossed the threshold with his head bowed without saying a word, and then stood at the door and hesitated, "...... Yes, do you want to close the door? ”

Looking at his appearance, he was as nervous as a student who was called to the office by the head teacher to talk, Shen Ruyu was amused by her association, she shook her head, "Don't close it, it's too dark in this room." ”

…… And the door is open, which is more suspicious.

Wen Ming let out an "oh" and sat down on the seat beside her.

Shen Ruyu gently picked up the teacup, lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, "...... Listen to Wen Jun, have you divorced? ”

Wen Ming let out a sullen "um".

"It's really strange...... Shen Ruyu held her chin puzzled, "How could Wen Jun's parents agree to your divorce......

Wen Ming pursed his lips nervously, "Because...... I told them I was infertile. ”

Shen Ruyu took a sip of tea and immediately squirted it out.
