After Yu Yinxiang sat down, Yu Ruixuan sat aside silently, a little unable to sit still and did not dare to leave at will.

After Yu Yinxiang ate, he thanked Shen Zhuru for taking care of Yu Ruixuan, and took Yu Ruixuan away with Su Luoquan.

"Miss, how could this Nine Emperor Princes come here for no reason?" Yueyang couldn't help but ask, expressing doubts about such a coincidence.

"It doesn't matter what the reason is for them, since they are here, then greet and entertain well, at least the courtesy is thoughtful, no one can find out if they are not coming, no matter what reason they are, it will not affect themselves, right?"

"I see. The slave understood. ”

On the first day back, it was going to be a little quieter.

On the 26th, the business of the medicinal food building became more and more lively, and there were even orders from outside, and the chef was needed to come to help cook the medicinal food, but it was a pity that Shen Zhuru didn't care about how much money he earned, just enough to use it, but it was not bad for this business, and he refused the people who came to ask for the cook on the pretext that the number of cooks was limited and he did not support going out.

On the evening of the 28th, Mu Fenghua, Su Luoquan, Yu Yinxiang, and Yu Jinqiong all sent people to send New Year's blessings and gifts, especially when Mu Fenghua personally came to visit Shen Zhuru that night, it was still very late.

The knock knock sounded, Shen Zhuru was changing her clothes, she heard the knock on the door, and after opening the door, she found that it was Mu Fenghua who was dressed in black and ran into the house with her face covered, and directly closed the door back.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Zhuru frowned when she looked at Mu Fenghua, who was visiting late at night, Yueyang actually didn't stop her, which made her quite dissatisfied.

"I'm leaving the capital tomorrow, there are some changes in the border, it's not good to stay here for a long time, these people take the liberty to come to say goodbye, please forgive me?" Mu Fenghua opened his mouth to explain, but Shen Zhuru's frowning brows loosened slightly.

"Then you should be more careful along the way and pay attention to your body."

"Lady ......"

Shen Zhuru's body stiffened slightly, and said with a wry smile: "We are no longer husband and wife. What's more, now that I am no longer the original Shen Zhuru, you said that you would not force me for the time being. ”

"I'm sorry, I was negligent."

"Don't talk about that. Didn't you say you were going back to the border? I didn't have time to eat on the way. I've got some of my own preserved fruits, and a little special dry food for you to take with you on the road. Wait for me for a moment. Shen Zhuru said and put on a dress and opened the door.

After looking around and seeing Yueyang, he called her over.

"Yueyang. I got those fried noodles yesterday, do you remember where they were? ”

"The slave remembers."

"I went and took half of it, put it in a bag, and sent it here."

"Half? Could it be too much? Didn't you say that you would give them as a gift in return, miss? ”

"It's okay, I'll do it tomorrow, it's not bad."

"Then the slave and maid will go and get it."

After Yueyang left, Shen Zhuru went to the small warehouse next door, picked out a few bags sewn with gauze, grabbed some simple ingredients needed for medicinal diets and separated them one by one, grabbed fifty packs of soup base for two people, packed most of the bags and carried them to the room.

"I heard that the weather on the border is still cold in spring, and it will not warm up until at least March. I have some recipes for soup stock here. You can get your own drink when you're outside. Birds, cattle and sheep and other meat can be used to cook soup, I have divided it for you, although this small bag is not much, enough soup for two people, remember to get it and drink it. In addition, the fried noodles in this area, don't look at the color of this thin and round noodles, I mixed some vegetables and drove out the thin noodles into a ball and fried them in the pot, which has already tasted and was carried on the road. Eat some when you're hungry, and then drink some water, which can be used as dry food and has a good taste. It's just that the intention is on fire, remember to drink herbal tea and you'll be fine. ”

"I like everything you sent, thank you. Also, be careful of Jade Jinqiong, that's not a good scumbag, wait for me to come back. ”

Mu Fenghua said as he took out a sachet from his arms and stuffed it into Shen Zhuru's hand.

"This is the peace charm I asked for at Hokke Temple. I give it to you, hoping to keep you safe. ”

"Thank you." Shen Zhuru pinched the peace talisman sachet in his hand, and clearly felt that there were two round beads, maybe pearls or jade beads.

Mu Fenghua picked up a large and a small bag and left quietly, Shen Zhuru just glanced at Yueyang, but she didn't bother to blame her for anything.

The next morning, 29 was Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Zhuru gave the guys in the Medicinal Diet Building three times the daily wage until the sixth day of the new year, and on the first day of the new year, everyone in the Medicinal Diet Building would have a red envelope to congratulate the New Year, and take half a day off as a benefit for working in the Medicinal Kitchen.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, all the guys and cooks in the medicinal restaurant will have a reunion dinner before closing to celebrate the start of the new year.

Chinese New Year's Eve has the habit of keeping the New Year, but it is not necessary to be at home to keep the New Year in this capital, but you can find your friends after having a good time, return home before dawn to light a cannon battle, and take a red envelope as a New Year's observance.

Of course, this custom is limited to men, and for women, it is still a rule in the family.

Shen Zhuru doesn't have any special habits about this, she sleeps when she is tired, and as for the matter of keeping the New Year, there are naturally maids, but there is no big problem.

The next morning, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after Shen Zhuru sent red envelopes, he went to Qinfu after lunch.

In front of the Qin Mansion, this Qin Mansion was very lively, and the people who came in and out were all members of the Qin family in the capital, although not all of them knew each other, but there were also many relatives who had an impression when Qin Yuxiao got married.

Jiang Bai, who was guarding the door, naturally recognized Shen Zhuru who was coming, but he was very surprised, but he still immediately greeted him.

"Miss Ru, you're back." Jiang Bai opened his mouth and said, there was always such a hesitation in his eyes.

"Jiang Bai, if you have anything to say, it's okay."

"Miss Ru, you have also seen that most of the relatives and brothers who came from the Qin Mansion today are the lord's relatives and brothers, and the lady has also explained, if the girl comes back, you must stop the girl, don't let the girl enter the door, so as not to affect today's affairs. It's just because the Qin family will gather all the Qin family's children here on the first day of this year, I'm afraid your arrival is not suitable. The slave is worried that if the girl goes in so rashly, she will eventually end up with something that makes you lose face. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I know in my heart that I won't make it difficult for you. If you're really worried about letting me in, you'll be punished...... I'll show you something, and I'm sure you won't be worried. Shen Zhuru thought about it, but still took out the queen's handwritten edict given to her by Yu Jinqiong, and secretly revealed part of the content and the phoenix seal. Let Jiang Bai take a look.

Jiang Bai only looked at the general situation and saw the words of being ordered to stay in the Qin Mansion, as well as the mark of the real queen's seal, and his legs were weak and he almost knelt down, but it was Yueyang's eyes that quickly held his hand. didn't show up in public.

"Jiang Bai, you said I would go in now, would you still stop me?"

"Girl, please come in, the old slave will never dare to stop it, even if it is a matter of lady. The old slave will answer like this, and will never divulge this matter. ”

"Good. However, I am not an unreasonable person, and as long as you don't go around talking about it, if necessary, if it can save you from punishment, I don't mind if you say it for the sake of protecting yourself. ”

"Thank you, girl."

"Then I'll go in first."

"Please."

Shen Zhuru nodded and took Yueyang into the Qin Mansion.

Shen Zhuru had just walked a short distance, and someone immediately blocked her way.

"This girl doesn't seem to be from my Qin family, isn't she a guest? Or is it the aunt in the house? But that's not right. My younger brother is not a romantic person, and he has always only had a soft spot for his younger siblings, so it stands to reason that he will not find an aunt, even if it is a maid in a room. The girl can come and go freely, if the identity is not simple, it is her own family, I don't know what kind of identity the girl is? ”

"It's really hard to say, but I'm staying here for the time being, and Brother Xiao and most of the people in the house know about it."

"Live here?"

"Yes. For the time being, it is in the West Wing Room. If you don't have anything else to ask, can you let me leave, I'm a little tired today. ”

"It's abrupt. I wonder if the girl can tell her name? ”

"Ruzhu." Shen Zhuru replied with a light smile.

"Miss Ru, I'm Qin Bai. This year's twenty-four, unmarried. Qin Bai shouted.

Yueyang turned around and looked at Qin Bai, who was shouting, frowned, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Shen Zhuru returned to the West Wing guest room, when he first arrived at the door. The next room then opened, and the person who came out was none other than Qin Yuluo, who had a relationship, the fifth young master of the Qin family, and the fifth son who was raised in the temple before.

Qin Yuluo was obviously stunned when he saw Shen Zhuru, and then immediately saluted.

"Ami...... Uh, the girl is polite. ”

With a snort, Shen Zhuru couldn't help laughing.

Although this Qin Yuluo is the second time they have met, his influence on Shen Zhuru is still very profound.

Nearly eight months have passed since April last year, and looking at his involuntary words, the habits left by the temple life have not been completely changed in the end, and some traces are still left.

However, he was able to change it immediately after only half of it, which surprised Shen Zhuru.

"Childe is polite. Thinking that the son should be the fifth young master of the Qin family, Qin Yu should be the son! ”

Qin Yuluo was slightly stunned, and blurted out in surprise, "How could the girl know?" ”

"I heard that the fifth son of the Qin family has been raised in the temple since he was a child, and it is easy to guess that the son lives in the Qin Mansion at the moment, and he also has the habit of talking with the children of Buddhism."

"Really? I've changed pretty much the same, but it's easy to make mistakes when I'm nervous. Look at the girl, you have come here, could it be that the wing room next door is the girl's residence? ”

"Exactly. I came to stay before Chinese New Year's Eve and booked this room, but no one told you about it? ”

Qin Yuluo frowned slightly, "Maybe my sister-in-law was busy and forgot about it, so I made a mistake." When I moved in before, the servant said that the next room was already occupied, but he was not in the house, and he didn't think he would come back in the near future, so I could live in peace, but he didn't say whether it was a man or a woman. Now that the girl is back, I'm afraid I still need to talk to my sister-in-law and change places to live. ”

"It's okay. Anyway, it's just the next room, and I'm fine. Shen Zhuru replied with a smile, but she didn't exclude Qin Yu from living next door.

Anyway, it was Hua Yingyue's kindness, and she couldn't refuse it.

"Still not. There is a difference between men and women, but it is better for girls to live here. Qin Yuluo said.

"Qin Gongzi, in fact, I don't mind that you live in the next room at all, didn't the Buddha say that the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, and the same is true when you want to do it. Why do you care about the difference between men and women, not to mention, not to mention ...... I've put it down, why can't you put it down? ”

"Thank you girl, I can't put it down, it seems that the girl is also a person with a lot of wisdom, otherwise she would have said this."

"If Gongzi Qin is free, why don't you wait for me to clean up here, and then meet Gongzi to talk about Buddhism?"

Qin Yuluo's eyes lit up slightly, "That's really unwanted, I don't know if it will disturb the girl's rest?" ”

"No, it won't. I'm pretty bored anyway. I remember there was a little garden next door, how about meeting there later? ”

"Good. I'll ask the maid to prepare some food for you. ”

"Okay, see you later."

"See you later."

"Miss, why do you want to be so kind to this young master of the Qin family?"

"Amiable? It's okay. Don't you think this Fifth Prince of Qin is also quite interesting? ”

"Interesting? Miss, the slave doesn't understand. ”

"Forget it, you don't understand. You asked someone to prepare bath water for me, and I want to bathe and change clothes. ”

"Now?" Yueyang asked unexpectedly.

"Since I said it, it's naturally now."

"Yes, miss."

Yueyang went to the kitchen to ask for hot water, and immediately sent it to Shen Zhuru, and after freshening up, she went to the garden to make an appointment.

As soon as he walked to the garden, he saw Qin Yuluo talking to someone from a distance, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Hua Yingyue.

Watching Hua Yingyue and Qin Yu fall there, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Fifth brother, Miss Ru is here, I won't bother you, I'll take the first step. Miss Ru, my fifth brother is absolutely simple-minded, don't bully him. Hua Yingyue said with a smile, got up and said to Shen Zhuru, who walked to her, and turned around and left without waiting for the two of them to say anything more.

"Miss Ru, I'm really sorry, my sister-in-law is afraid that she misunderstood to say this, please don't take it to heart." Qin Yuluo's cheeks were slightly red, very innocent, and his embarrassed face couldn't be hidden.

"I know, your sister-in-law is just joking. But I made Childe wait. ”

"It's fine. I waited for a while, and it wasn't long. Have a seat. ”

"You sit too."

"Miss Ru, I heard you talk about it before, but you are a person who likes Buddhism, but looking at your behavior, you don't look like a person who worships Buddha, and you are really unseemly."

"Qin Gongzi is really joking. Actually, I will say a few words, but I can't talk about being proficient, and I just happened to meet the right time before, so I just said a few nonsense words to make you laugh. ”

"The girl was modest. Just in terms of the girl's face, she is definitely a kind-hearted person, but for some reason, there is a trace of anger lingering between the girl's eyebrows. (To be continued.) )
