Chapter 68: The Visitor

Xu Ruliang had to go with Mama Cai.

Mama Cai is looking for an opportunity to please: "The county mainly feels bored going back to the house, why don't you go to Tianxing Lake for a walk?" Now is the time when the lotus lotus is rising, and the big leaves like shields are green and green, connected into patches, covering the surface of the lake, like a big cloth cover. But when you look at it, it seems to be airtight, but when you look closely, you can't count the reds, pinks, and whites dotted on the green patches. ”

Tianxing Lake is the shallow shoal that lies between the plum garden and the Zeting.

In previous years, Xu Ruliang liked to go boating in the lake and play lotus.

This year, because of the heavy worries, how can there be leisure and leisure to play?

Xu Ruliang glanced at Mama Cai with lack of interest, only to think that her white and chubby face like a steamed bun with a look of squeezing her eyebrows and eyes was funny, which was simply more interesting than the lotus scene of Tianxing Lake she described.

Mama Cai touched her nose and was a little stupid, but she didn't give up. After being silent for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "That's right", and said, "And your favorite 'Falling Glow'." The grandfather specially instructed people to plant it alone in the southwest corner of Tianxing Lake, so that you can have an unobstructed view from lying in the attic of Zeting. The ...... that is white and red."

"Mama." Xu Ruliang couldn't bear to interrupt her, "I'm tired and want to go back to the room to rest for a while." ”

The hardships of rushing for days all came up at the moment when his spirit was completely relaxed, and with the blow of not being able to make a soft hedgehog armor, Xu Ruliang only felt that his mind was chaotic now, and he didn't know what to do next.

Back in Zeting, he threw himself into the small paint bed, struggling with whether to stop his brother from joining the army. I fell asleep in a daze.

I slept until dusk.

When she woke up, she saw her brother sitting on the edge of the bed guarding her.

Seeing her wake up, Xu Rujing hurriedly called "Ah Liang". Concerned asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Feeling uncomfortable.

Xu Ruliang looked at his brother with a pout, his mind was spinning, and he suddenly pulled up the thin quilt and covered his head. There seemed to be two surging blood and qi in her chest, and the water and fire were intolerable, hitting each other, making her so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

What exactly should she do?

To go, or not to go?

Brother has a brother who pursues the life ...... But she didn't want to lose her brother!

My brother will care about her, protect her, take care of her, follow her, cling to her, and spoil her......

in this world. There will never be anyone more comfortable for her than her brother, can she be allowed to be selfish again and not let her brother leave her?

Can?

The sour taste creeps up the corners of the eye.

Xu Ruliang gasped.

Xu Rujing came to the bed and pulled out the corner of the quilt. Looking inside against the tuyere, Xu Ruliang in the dark was gasping. He smiled: "Silly girl, how long do you want to hold in it?" ”

If you can look at me like this for the rest of your life, I want to hold in there for the rest of my life.

Xu Ruliang pouted. The sourness in the corners of the eyes is choked.

Xu Rujing was amused by her pouting appearance. simply put his head into the quilt and stuck to his sister, lowered his voice and asked, "Who made our little Ah Liang unhappy?" Ah Liang told Brother SΓΉ, Brother will help you come back from the lesson. "It's like telling a little secret.

The warm breath was all on Xu Ruliang's face.

Xu Ruliang became more and more reluctant to watch this intimacy pass, and said in a low voice: "Brother, can you not follow Rong?" ”

Xu Rujing was stunned for a moment, slowly got out of the quilt, walked to the window, and looked at the sparkling Tianxing Lake under the sunset and the plum garden across the lake. He didn't speak for a while.

Xu Ruliang waited for a long time. Slowly, he poked his head out of the quilt.

Looking at his brother's thin and lonely back, for a moment. She suddenly felt that she was too selfish.

"Brother." She called softly, wanting to apologize.

Xu Rujing almost subconsciously hurriedly turned around and returned to the bed to half-pick her up, using her as a human cushion, while brushing her sweat-soaked hair on the corner of her forehead, while whispering "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother didn't go far."

All of a sudden, it evoked more memories of Xu Ruliang.

When she was a child, she was very clingy to her brother, and she would be with her brother every day off. In the afternoon, Brother would always ask her to rest for a while. And she didn't know that while she was resting, her brother had to go to the study to make up for his homework.

The first time she woke up, she couldn't see her brother, and she thought that her brother had left her like a mother and didn't want her, so she was so anxious that she cried.

The brother would rush over, hug her, and comfort her......

Xu Ruliang sniffed, whispered "brother", and said, "I'm sorry......"

"Silly girl, what are you sorry to say to your brother?" Xu Rujing rubbed her hair, sighed dotingly, and said, "Then do you want to sleep for a while, or get up now?" ”

"Get up now."

After a day's sleep, people slept soundly and were hungry.

Xu Ruliang rubbed his stomach embarrassedly.

Xu Rujing smiled: "Grandpa said to wait for us to have dinner together." ”

has its own maid to serve Xu Ruliang, wash and make up.

Hurry up to the meal and go to Yongnian Hall.

Yongnian Hall is the main house of the third courtyard, and it is also where Ruyou usually lives.

I walked into the courtyard, but I heard Ruyou's hearty laughter from the house.

Xu Ruliang couldn't help but be surprised: "What happy thing happened to my grandfather?" ”

The servant who led the way hurriedly said: "An old man came from the capital, saying that he was a person from Jiang Hancheng, and he had a good conversation with his grandfather, and I have heard my grandfather laugh so happily no less than ten times today." ”

"The old man of Jiang Han City?" Xu Rujing groaned: "Do you know who it is?" ”

If there are other elders or guests here, it will be a bit rude for them to dress at home, and they will have to go back early to change their clothes.

The entourage shook his head and said: "The villain doesn't know, I just heard this old man call his grandfather 'uncle'." ”

Call my grandfather as my uncle...... That's my grandmother's nephew, their cousin. Xu Rujing's face was pale: "Several uncles of the Yan family in Qiyang, but you don't know each other?" ”

"Brother," Xu Ruliang was embarrassed and reminded in a low voice: "I just said that I came from Jiang Han." ”

There are many people in Jianghan City who are friends with the Rujia family, but there are few who can climb Ruyou's "uncle". The person who came was either from the Cheng family or from the Yan family.

Xu Rujing couldn't guess who it was for a while. For the sake of safety, I wanted to go back to change clothes with Xu Ruliang first.

But the laughter in the house stopped, and a gray-clothed servant came out and said, "Grandpa invites the prince and the county lord into the house to talk." ”

Can't go.

Xu Rujing leaned over and cut her sister's sideburns. Take her hand and step into the Hall of Eternal Years.

When they saw the person sitting across from Ruyou, the brother and sister were stunned.

Yan Ming looked at the hands held by the brother and sister, and smiled meaningfully, really having a bit of "elder" love.

Xu Ruliang suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Whenever Yan Ming was playing Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, the eyes she revealed would always give her a gloomy feeling.

Xu Rujing darkened his thoughts.

Yan 13 and the third prince have always been good friends.

The three princes regarded the Xu family as their old enemies.

The Rujia and Xu families are in-laws.

Except for nepotistic in-laws, the Yan family and the Home Inn have no intersection on weekdays.

This time, Yan 13 inexplicably visited the Shaoguo Mansion......

Grandpa and Yan 13 had a very happy conversation......

Could it be that what my father said was all true?

Xu Rujing grabbed her sister's hand and couldn't help but tighten.

Xu Ruliang was in pain. looked at him in surprise, but only saw Xu Rujing lowering his eyelids, staring at the carpet on the ground.

Yan Ming laughed unabashedly. "This is Jingxian's nephew, right?"

Although the Yan family and the Ru family have a nepotistic in-law relationship, they are actually far away and do not have much contact. In addition, the Yan family has many children and talents. Yan Ming is not outstanding in it. So much so that most people in the Rujia family didn't actually know him before today.

I don't know what kind of intersection he had with Xu Rujing and Xu Ruliang when he was in Qing'an.

Now his old god is posing like an elder, which makes people feel dignified when they see it.

Ruyou smiled and shook his head, acquiescing to his guess, and introduced to his grandson and granddaughter: "This is your uncle's maiden nephew, you have to call him cousin." ”

Thinking that the brother and sister have always been knowledgeable, they should come up to meet the ceremony.

Unexpectedly, neither of them moved.

Ruyou was a little puzzled. He coughed softly.

Xu Rujing did not react.

Don't know what's going on.

Brother doesn't usually be so rude. Just now, I asked her to go back and change her clothes, so as not to be rude in front of others.

Why did I learn that it was Yan Thirteen. All of a sudden, it's like this?

Xu Ruliang had a lot of thoughts, but he didn't show anything, and he didn't want to pick up the stubble. After thinking about it, he was curious, "It turns out that the guild speaks official language!" ”

"This ......"

Isn't that the point?

Ruyou is amused by her granddaughter's unexpected attention.

Yan Ming narrowed her eyes.

This little county lord of Danyang is really unusual!

Ruyou explained: "This is the granddaughter of the old man. The old man is a granddaughter, and he is inevitably pampered on weekdays, and he is unscrupulous, and he hopes that his nephew will not mind. While beckoning to Xu Ruliang, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with warm love.

Xu Ruliang walked over.

Ruyou let her see the salute.

Xu Ruliang looked at Yan Ming steadily for a while.

Yan Ming was embarrassed to be seen, and when she was about to speak, Xu Ruliang suddenly bent her knees slightly and said, "I've seen my cousin." ”

It doesn't say they ever knew each other.

Yan Ming's heart struck.

Originally, I wanted to put this little county lord together, but now I have a feeling that I am going to be yin by her?

Until the end of the banquet, he didn't dare to provoke again.

Xu Ruliang is clean.

But seeing that Xu Rujing had been preoccupied and taciturn, she couldn't help but worry, is there any holiday between her brother and Yan Shisan?

On the way back to Zeting, she asked Xu Rujing.

Xu Rujing only said nothing, but refused to say anything else.

Xu Ruliang became more and more worried.

Xu Rujing sent her back to the room, and when she stepped into the door, she suddenly grabbed her again, "Zeting is so big, Ah Liang must be very lonely when he lives alone, right?" Why don't you go to Tanyuan to live with your brother? Anyway, your cage hasn't arrived yet, so it's not a hard time to move. ”

Xu Ruliang was dazed.

"Otherwise, my brother should stay here with you." Xu Rujing sent her into the inner room, and at the same time, he ordered someone to make room for him to come out.

The vigorous and resolute appearance made Xu Ruliang and the second monk puzzled.

Xu Rujing touched her hair, "Ah Liang, don't be afraid, with my brother here, no one can do anything to you." The tone was very relieved, and Xu Ruliang looked.

Xu Ruliang sweated.

Brother Dare is worried that Yan Shisan will not be kind to her?

That's it, why bother to make my brother feel uneasy for the sake of Yan Shisan?

Xu Ruliang told people not to clean up, only brought Mama Cai and the maid Huanxi, who were taken care of closely, and went to Tanyuan with Xu Rujing - Danyuan is more spacious than Zeting.

Xu Rujing was very pleased.

Finally got a good night's sleep.

I got up the next morning, but I heard Mama Cai report: "Grandpa said that he has official business in his yamen today, and asked the prince and the county lord to accompany Uncle Yan to visit our Shaoyang City." (To be continued......)
