On the 10th day of November, the troops guarding the south returned to Beijing to rescue, relieving the urgent need of the capital.

Although it has not yet reached the point of being besieged, the capital has already been empty with ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and there are few people, and the prosperity when Ruyi first came has disappeared. Fortunately, the national stock of grain is sufficient, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have a share, although it is small, but it will not starve.

Ruyi sat on the sedan chair and lifted the curtain to look out.

Six of the ten shops are closed, and even when they are open, they are full of customers.

Ruyi has never left the house, so the shadow of the war is only limited to hear, and there are people who make trouble in front of the Lu Mansion.

Speaking of trouble...... The person behind it doesn't have to guess to know.

Ruyi lowered the curtain and got ready to think about how to talk later, anyway, the street was empty, and there was nothing to see.

What happened to Tang Qianqian and Lu Ziqian, she would naturally know when she returned to Sanli Town. After reading the letter, Ruyi went to Wang's house with Chuntao and asked Lu Ziyue, and the news he got was that Lu Ziqian sent a letter back half a month ago, and he might have arrived in Sanli Town at this time.

Ruyi leaned against the wall of the car, feeling a little confused.

She had actually prepared for the worst, if Lu Ziqian really broke her promise and fell in love with someone else, she would leave.

Living alone, although it is more bitter, is better than sharing your husband with others.

It's just that my heart still hurts. Ruyi reached out to cover his chest and sighed slightly.

The army of the imperial court returned to Beijing at this time to rescue, and the way back was much safer, which strengthened Ruyi's determination to go back.

It's just that she still has a few things to deal with before she leaves.

Chun Tao absentmindedly rubbed the handkerchief with her hand and sat on the other side of the sedan chair.

This time I came out to go to Xu's Mansion to discuss Chun Tao's marriage.

Outside the city, Xu Lang has no news, and Ruyi can understand. After all, Xu Lang is also a person in the court now, and it is right to be busy, originally she was ready to wait for Xu Lang to come to the door to ask for marriage, but now she has no time.

Xu Lang really wanted to marry Chun Tao, so she left Chun Tao in the capital, and Xu Lang came to take care of Chun Tao, which was safer than following her.

Ruyi looked at Chun Tao's restless appearance, and teased in a rare and relaxed tone, "What's wrong, Xiao Chun Tao?" Shy? ”

Chun Tao's face turned red, "Grandma!" How do you ......?"

Ruyi stretched out his hand and hooked Chun Tao's chin, and said with a smile, "I'm just sad, I have a good Chun Tao, just let it go to someone else, can you not be sad?" ”

Chun Tao was jumped by Ruyi's action, and then said angrily, "Grandma! Even if...... Even if...... The slave will always follow you! ”

Looking at Chun Tao's red face because of shyness, Ruyi felt a lot better. Although I am disappointed, it is also a good thing to see the people around me happy.

"Chun Tao, you stay in the capital this time, don't follow me, the mountains and rivers are far away, it's really dangerous."

Chun Tao was anxious: "Then how can it be done, grandma Da Shao!" The slave and maid are not with you, only Su'er is alone, how can she serve her! Moreover...... No matter how dangerous it is, the slave will follow you! ”

Ruyi stretched her waist with a big grin, with a smile on her lips, "Chun Tao, you will be Mrs. Xu in the future!" Xu Gongzi is on the high school list this time, presumably after the end of this war, you will inevitably have to rise to prominence, and then you will wait to be your lady! ”

Chun Tao obviously didn't care about this, and frowned and said, "The slave doesn't want to be a noble lady, unless she ...... with the eldest and youngest grandmother."

The sedan chair shook slightly, and Zhao Liu's voice came, "Grandma, the Xu Mansion has arrived." ”

Ruyi held Chun Tao's hand, "Let's go, go and solve this matter first, and then we'll talk about it later." ”

The two of them got out of the carriage and came to the gate of Xu's mansion.

After Xu Lang was in high school, the imperial court did not arrange any official positions, so the Xu family still lived in the house they rented when they first came to the capital. The old wooden door looked a little depressed, and Ruyi stepped forward and gently knocked on the door knocker.

The door opened, and an old servant with gray hair and fifty or sixty years old poked his head out, looked Ruyi up and down, and felt that his face was a little familiar, but in the end he still didn't think of where he had seen it, and said tremblingly, "This lady, who are you looking for?" ”

This old man followed Xu Lang all the way to Beijing, and he was afraid that he was also a qualified old man in Xu's Mansion, and Ruyi had also seen it on the road, so he lifted his veil slightly and smiled and said, "Uncle Zheng, it's me, Grandma Lu Da Shao......"

Uncle Zheng squinted his eyes and glanced at her again, grinning, "Ah, it's Miss Fu, what's the matter, come to find your brother Lang?" That kid isn't here today. ”

Ruyi was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

Uncle Zheng is afraid that he is old and confused, but he still remembers those old things.

"It's not...... Uncle Zheng, you still call me Grandma Lu, I'm here this time...... It's really looking for Xu Gongzi, since he's not here, then I'll come back another day. ”

Chun Tao, who was following behind Ruyi, breathed a sigh of relief, although she was a little disappointed in her heart, but she really didn't want to leave Ruyi at this time, Xu Lang was not there, so this matter could be talked about later.

Uncle Zheng rubbed his hands, and before he could speak, a question came from the courtyard, "Uncle Zheng, who is coming?" ”

The voice was indescribably harsh, Ruyi was a little nervous subconsciously, and there was some inexplicable familiarity.

Uncle Zheng replied in a loud voice: "Madam! It's Fu Yatou who is here! ”

There was silence in the courtyard for a moment, and a middle-aged woman in a dark brown gown and a light green silk skirt walked over with a frown.

"Fu Ruyi, not at home to serve your sick husband, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Xu looked at the girl in front of her who was already married to a wife, and her heart was a little complicated.

The Xu family is also a big family in Sanli Town, and the Fu family still relies on their support to slowly get to the present. Xu Lang's father and Ruyi's father were brothers who had worshiped their son and said that they would be their sons and daughters.

The wives of the two also seemed to say that they had a girl, and the other gave birth to a son. The two children grew up as childhood sweethearts, seeing that good things were approaching, and the good daughter-in-law was robbed by others, Mrs. Xu didn't know what kind of mood she was in now.

I know that I shouldn't blame Ruyi, but ......

Ruyi curtsied, and said in a gentle tone, "Madam, this time I really have something important to discuss, since Xu Gongzi is not here, it is the same as you." ”

Mrs. Xu snorted and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Although she doesn't know all the memories of the original owner, it's just that Ruyi and Xu Lang's past are almost entangled, and she naturally knows Xu Lang's mother.

When Xu Lang was a child, he was naughty and mischievous, and often went home with Ruyi dirty, and Mrs. Xu reprimanded her son while cleaning up Ruyi first, saying that girls should be neat at all times.

Mrs. Xu's face is cold and warm, and she is really good to the original owner. Ruyi couldn't help but slow down her tone.

"Ruyi came this time, first, to visit Mrs., and secondly, to come...... It is to propose marriage to the house. ”
