Chapter 204: Staring
The autumn frost has dyed the willow branches by the West Lake with a thin layer of white velvet.
Yu Chen bored and picked up a branch of light willow, blew hot air, watched the white velvet instantly turn into nothing, let go of his hand and watched the light willow bounce back, shaking some fine frost dust and drifting down......
Yu Chen squinted at Rong Xi and Zhao Bocong, who were walking in front, and secretly wondered in his heart, Zhao Bocong asked Rong Xi to move to the champion building, Rong Xi went, why did Rong Xi listen to Zhao Bocong so much!
Yu Chen pursed his lips, sat down on the stone bench by the lake, and shouted to Rong Xi in front of him: "I'm tired, I really can't walk!" ”
Rong Xi and Zhao Bocong turned to look at him. Rong Xi shook his head, walked up to Yu Chen and pulled him up, "The stone bench is cold!" You're going to enter the exam room the day after tomorrow, so be careful of getting sick from a cold! ”
"Anyway, you don't care about me, just make me sick!" Yu Chen pouted and looked like he couldn't afford to do it. Rong Yu pulled Yu Chen up from the stone bench with both arms.
Zhao Bocong sneered when he saw this scene, "Yu Chen is still blaming you for moving to the Zhuangyuan Building, he misses the post house!" ”
"Not really!" Yu Chen broke away from Rong Xi's hand, "Of course, the Zhuangyuan Building is better than the post house, but why is Brother Rong Xi willing to spend Brother Zhao's silver, but he is unwilling to spend my money?" Could it be that Brother Zhao's silver has patterns? ”
"Hahaha!" Zhao Bocong was a little happy. "Why do you have to be jealous! Rong Xi is my junior brother, of course he is closer to me. Zhao Bocong teased.
"You! I'm still his roommate! I wash my feet with him, what about you? Yu Chen was a little unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, it's been out for a long time, it's time to go back to the book." Rong Xi patted Yu Chen's shoulder, he always felt that Yu Chen was sometimes like a child and coquettish, and sometimes he was as careful as a woman.
Rong Xi and Zhao Bocong said goodbye.
"Well, I won't be available to see you tomorrow. You don't need to be nervous when you enter the exam room, just answer the questions carefully. This autumn test, my father sent me and Seventh Brother to supervise it, but it was just a formality, and you had to rely on yourself, so I couldn't help much! ”
Rong Xi smiled with a spring breeze on his face. "Senior brother, don't worry, the master also told me to just concentrate on answering the questions. I plan to rush back to Yangzhou as soon as I finish the exam. ”
"Why are you in such a hurry! It's not too late to wait a few more days for the release of the list! Zhao Bocong was a little surprised, "I still want to drink celebration wine with my junior brother!" ”
"He's missing his wife!" When Yu Chen saw that Zhao Bocong was leaving, he showed some joy on his face. "But why hasn't Brother Zhao been married yet?"
Zhao Bocong smiled awkwardly. "It's better to go back early, so as not to rush my brother and sister!" Zhao Bocong bowed his hand and said goodbye, stepping on the white autumn frost, Zhao Bocong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why don't you get married so far?" "As the emperor's righteous son. How can he be qualified to choose his own lady!
Zhao Bocong glanced at the mist on the surface of the lake, which was as ethereal as a cloud of smoke. Zhao Bocong suddenly remembered the figure of Rong Jiaoniang, standing on the flat boat that day, light and elegant, out of the dust! Zhao Bocong sighed, Rong Jiaoniang shouldn't be drafted!
"Do you think he can be emperor?" Yu Chen stabbed Rong Xi's waist with his elbow.
Rong Xi was startled, and hurriedly covered Yu Chen's mouth, "Dare to say this, how can the affairs of the royal family be said casually." ”
Yu Chen pulled Rong Xi's hand away, "I'll just talk about it!" Just look at it. The Seven Princes were more magnanimous. However, there is a kind of warmth in this eleventh prince, if he can be the emperor, maybe it will be a blessing for the people! ”
"Besides, I don't slap you!" Rong Xi looked around, in this cold autumn morning, there was no one else by the lake except them, Rong Xi let go of Yu Chen's hand with confidence, "Let's go!" Now I can eat xiaolongbao when I go back. I'm in for a treat! ”
"I love to hear that!" Yu Chen grabbed Rong Xi's arm and leaned on Rong Xi's shoulder with a smile. Rong Xi couldn't shake off his hand a few times, so he had to smile bitterly and let him go.
The two returned to the Champion Building. Walking into the lobby on the first floor, Yu Chen inadvertently caught a glimpse of the back of a woman in the compartment by the window, and hurriedly poked Rong Xi's waist with his elbow, "Don't be like this." Rong Xi blocked Yu Chen's arm.
Yu Chen raised his chin. Only then did Rong Xi notice the people in the compartment in front of the window. That figure is so familiar, unforgettable day and night, how can Rong Xi not see that it is Luo Yan! Rong Xi walked a few steps to the cubicle, and excitedly took Luo Yan's hand, "Lady! What are you doing here? ”
"Brother Rongxi, don't patronize the lady!" He Kunlun had a smile on his ruddy face.
Rong Yu smiled honestly and greeted He Kunlun. He took Luo Yan's hand again and held it in his palm distressedly. "When did the lady arrive, this hand is so cold!"
"Xianggong, I just arrived for a while, and I don't know where to look for you, but fortunately, I met He Xiaoye, he said to help me ask, I didn't expect you to live in his family's champion building!"
"Brother Rong will pass the autumn test, of course he has to live in my champion building." He Kunlun smiled happily, "Don't disturb your little couple to reunite after a long absence, hurry back to the house and whisper!" ”
Luo Yan and Rong Xi went upstairs, and Yu Chen looked sneering, "It seems that I have to open another room!" ”
"Why did the lady come alone?"
"Of course not, there are also Mama Zhu and Jiu'er, they went to the street to buy things."
The two entered the room and leaned against the door, hugged each other tightly, and kept warm for a while. Luo Yancai said that she wanted to rent a shop to sell jade bottles in Beijing this time. Rong Xi thought for a moment, "This is a good idea, but only one jade bottle is not enough to open a shop, you can consider doing something else." ”
"Xianggong is right, I am also thinking about making some jewelry hairpin rings and the like, and now the open space to the west of the dyeing workshop has become a workshop, as long as the design looks good, Master Feng can make it......"
"Great! After I finish the exam, let's do the shop together, open it before the winter festival, and it will be successful if we can recover the capital next spring......"
The more the two talked, the more excited they became, and Luo Yan suddenly stopped, "Xianggong, am I here to disturb your study?" If it affects your autumn exam, then my sin will be great......"
Rong Xi's lips pressed against Luo Yan's cherry lips, and the two stuck together and were inseparable. Jiu'er suddenly pushed the door in, and when she saw this scene, she didn't know how to advance or retreat for a while, so she hurriedly turned her back, "The slave didn't come in on purpose, the slave and the maid have something important to do." ”
"Out of the way! What's the matter? ”
"The slave has seen that Doctor Ding!"
Luo Yan's face turned pale, "Where is it?" ”
"Just now, the slave maid and Zhu Mama went to the street to buy some cotton paper and came back, and watched him pass in front of the champion building."
"Won't you admit it?"
Jiu'er nodded affirmatively. "I wish Mama to keep an eye on him."
"What Dr. Ding?" Rong Xi looked at Luo Yan suspiciously, "Doctor Ding was invited by Mrs. Cheng to treat the fourth grandmother that day......
After Luo Yan finished speaking, Rong Yu suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, "I heard that the second uncle was impeached by Zhu Duwei, could it have something to do with it?" ”
"I also have this doubt, but I don't know how much Zhu Duwei knows, and I'm not sure how Zhu Xingru died. Only by finding Dr. Ding can the mystery be solved. ”
Rong Xi pulled Luo Yan and Jiu'er downstairs in a hurry, and only a short distance from the champion building saw Mama Zhu running over in a panic. "Oh no, the person Jiu'er asked me to see just now was arrested!"
"What?" Luo Yan asked Mama Zhu to speak carefully.
Just now, Mama Zhu had been secretly following Dr. Ding, watching Dr. Ding walk into a long alley, Mama Zhu saw that there was nowhere to hide, so she pretended to stand outside the alley and waited, squinted at Dr. Ding to a house door, suddenly rushed out of the door of the house, covered Dr. Ding with a cloth bag, ran out of the alley quickly, and got into a carriage......
