- On the sandy shore, the owner of the tea shop waited for a long time, but he didn't see the four martial arts disciples come back. He glanced at the four black umbrellas leaning against the table legs. He thought about it when he looked at the four young guests who were already snotty around the charcoal brazier. Still dispelled a thought in my mind.

The charcoal fire in the pot gradually weakened, and the rain outside the tea shed finally became much lighter, and the clouds in the sky gradually became thinner. The owner of the tea shop asked the guys to start packing up, but he still hesitated about one thing. Do you bring those umbrellas back and send them back when you have a chance, or do you just leave them where they are and wait for those people to come back and get them themselves?

If only they were really martial arts disciples. But I couldn't distinguish it for a while, thinking back to the young man's unfriendly expression, the question that the tea shop owner really hesitated. It's what you have to do to not offend others.

Just then, he saw a carriage approaching not far away. Before it came close, it stopped, and a woman walked out of the car, holding an umbrella, just about to walk towards the tea shop.

On the sandy shore where it was raining heavily, there was no one except for the patrol soldiers who came and went more sparsely, and the appearance of this car and this person quickly attracted the attention of the people in the tea shop.

"It's Sister White Peach." Mo Ye was the first to recognize the woman holding the umbrella, and a happy smile naturally appeared on her face.

Xiaoyu, the eldest girl of the Ye Mansion, also spoke: "The people from the Song Mansion are here. ”

Xiaoya was a vassal on the side: "Why are the people in our house so slow?" ”

Ye Nuono didn't speak, but a feeling of loneliness already appeared in his heart. If this situation had been put aside, Daddy would have been severe. But he must have been the first to rush to pick her up.

Today, however...... The strong sense of contrast gave Ye Nuonuo an illusion, as if he was a child abandoned by his family.

The correspondence between the Song Mansion and the Ye Mansion was not very close, so he didn't pay attention to what happened in the Ye Mansion, but he just noticed that his Mo Ye went to the beach, and a few hours later, a large number of Kyoto residents returned to the city, and she didn't come back. I couldn't help but come to the beach to look for it.

Really. let her find Mo Ye under the shed, and in addition, she also saw Miss Ye and her two maids.

Bai Tao felt a little surprised, and when she saw that they were each wrapped in a tablecloth. I can't help but feel pity again. You can see it. Tablecloths are provided by the tea shop. Although their hair had been dried by charcoal, it must have been raining before, but fortunately the tea shop had not left. It can also be seen that they are willing to help, and Bai Tao hurriedly thanked the owner of the tea shop.

After a few brief exchanges, Bai Tao was about to lead a few people back to the carriage, but when it was time to leave, she understood the real reason why Mo Ye and his party couldn't leave here.

Looking at the umbrellas that could only be one skeleton in their hands, Bai Tao's gaze unconsciously swept to the four black cloth umbrellas on the table next to them - in this heavy rain environment at this time, they are really eye-catching.

Listening to the explanation of the tea shop owner, Bai Tao also knew that it was dropped by other tea customers, but she was very puzzled since then: on a rainy day, someone would leave all the umbrellas they carried?

After listening to the explanation of the tea shop owner, Bai Tao asked the approximate time for the guests to leave, she hesitated, and suddenly had the idea of borrowing an umbrella.

Before she could say this, Bai Tao's attention turned elsewhere, for she saw another person disembarking from the carriage, and in the midst of her conversation with the owner of the tea shop, he was already approaching with an umbrella.

In order to take Mo Ye back, who else came out of the Song Mansion?

The distance between the carriage and the tea shed was not far away, and by the time Ruan Luo finished walking, his shoes and socks were already soaked.

Mo Ye had a look of surprise on his face.

Bai Tao was a little nervous, looked at Ruan Luo and said hurriedly: "Brother Ruan, didn't you just wait in the car?" ”

Ye Nuonuo also remembered that this brother-in-law she had just recognized for a long time had just been sick before! She couldn't help but look slightly shocked.

Ruan Luo looked at the four girls wrapped in tablecloths next to the charcoal basin under the tea shed, and couldn't help laughing, for Bai Tao's worry, he only waved his hand, and said easily: "It's not in the way, but you, if you don't leave, there will be no one in the carriage." ”

Ruan Luo said that Bai Tao also understands a situation. She came with Ruan Luo, and when she just left the city, the rain was the heaviest, and it was almost over the roof of the car. Although the rain was lighter at this time, the carriage could not withstand the rain for a long time.

But thinking about the reason for not leaving, Bai Tao hesitated again.

Ruan Luo has also discovered the "umbrella problem", not only on Mo Ye's side, but also on the four black umbrellas.

He looked around at the few people in the tea shop again, and saw a lot of hesitation, and he asked the customers of the shop about the time and whereabouts of their departure just now, and then hesitated.

However, his mood was not empty, he was rushing to make a decision, and after a while, he made a decision, and said directly to the owner of the tea shop: "Shopkeeper, I want to borrow these four umbrellas, if those guests come back to find them, please tell me that the umbrella is in the old house of Song Ronghui in Kyoto." If they don't come back, they will also send someone to pay a lot of money after the incident, so please rest assured. ”

Hearing the young man in front of him who was thin but had clear eyes say a name, the owner of the tea shop was slightly moved, and couldn't help but look at the person in front of him carefully, and then said in surprise: "Could it be that Your Excellency is the nephew of Master Song...... Nguyen Luo Nguyen Gongzi? ”

"Don't dare to be, it's Ruan." Ruan Luo carefully observed the middle-aged man in front of him a few times without leaving a trace, and estimated his actual age a little, and then waved his hand and said: "It seems that today is a coincidence of seniors in the industry, and the late students greet their seniors." ”

The owner of the tea shop smiled, and he also waved his hands, and said with a smile: "In the next surname Yu, a single name is a 'use' word, Ruan Gongzi don't be too polite with Yu, if you talk about the past, you still have to pay attention to the loss of Master Song, otherwise my business in the tea shop in Yu's house would have been lost, but it's a pity that the world is impermanent......" In the end, Yu Yong's expression suddenly darkened, mentioning the sudden death of Master Song, his eyes also revealed a bit of real regret.

Ruan Luo lowered his eyes and sighed, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Yong. He said earnestly: "As the leading representative of the merchants of the whole country, the merchants of Beijing must be united, and they must be involved in many aspects of commerce and trade, which is also the cause that His Majesty presides over and supports today. The time when the Yujia tea shop was established in Kyoto, spanning two dynasties, is longer than the age of the late birth, such an old shop must be preserved, and what the uncle did during his lifetime will also be inherited by the later generation, and if there is a place for the later generation in the future, the predecessors will use the place for the later generation. Say it. ”

Yu Yong's eyes couldn't help but heat up when he heard this.

Regardless of whether his old Yu family will need to ask for someone in the future. Regardless of whether there is an element of politeness in Ruan Luo's words, he can say these words without hesitation, and he is still so tough with his reasoning. This momentum has already been contributed. It made Yu Yong's heart perk.

Although Boss Yu is just the owner of a small teahouse. The family business is not big, but he is definitely a senior person among the local merchants in Kyoto, for Ruan Luo's words. Soon I can feel a kind of resonance.

"Yes, the merchants must be united." Boss Yu nodded, the smile in his eyes gradually retracted, and he also showed a very serious expression, "Yu had the opportunity to meet with Boss Jin, and I learned from him that he has an excellent helper, and he happens to be Boss Song's nephew. Seeing the true face of Ruan Gongzi today, it is indeed as Boss Jin said, the righteousness is unforgettable, the thinking is far-reaching, and the future is limitless. ”

Boss Yu said this sincerely, but unexpectedly, Bai Tao, who was standing beside Ruan Luo, couldn't stand it anymore, and he was anxious, and a scoop of cold water was poured over: "Then Boss Yu has heard Boss Jin say that Ruan Gongzi has been recuperating in other counties for three years, and he just returned to Kyoto a few days ago?" ”

While Bai Tao was anxious, he still kept a little thought when he spoke. Boss Yu was stunned at first, and then he also heard the truth in Bai Tao's words, although he really didn't learn the news from Boss Jin, he also saw that Ruan Luo had a slight sign of weakness.

So he immediately ended the greeting just now, and the conversation changed sharply, and said: "Ruan Gongzi, although you take this umbrella and use it, although the door of my old Yu family is not big, it is not that I can't even afford such a trivial matter." ”

He paused slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "The small shop utensils are still a little poor, if the young ladies don't dislike it, let's wear the tablecloth first, it can always be a little warmer." ”

Ruan Luo glanced at the sobbing girls beside the charcoal brazier, although Boss Yu's words turned urgently, he didn't hesitate any longer, waved his hand to thank him, and then went to get the four black umbrellas.

With the umbrella in his hand, Ruan Luo clearly felt that the black cloth umbrella was more than three points heavier than the bamboo bone oil paper umbrella in his hand.

Ruan Luo gave his umbrella to Mo Ye, then opened a black cloth umbrella, looked at Ye Nuonuo, and apologized slightly: "I didn't consider that you might also be here, and I only had an umbrella in the car." ”

Ye Nuonuo shook his head and said: "How can I blame you, it is that the scene of today's ceremony is too lively, after the ceremony, everyone's umbrellas have become like this, and they have never been done before." Brother Luo, little sister will tell you later? ”

"Okay." Ruan Luo smiled and nodded, and handed the black cloth umbrella in his hand to Bai Tao.

Bai Tao took the umbrella, and immediately felt its heaviness, and didn't have time to think about the umbrella, Bai Tao suddenly understood that Ruan Luo gave her umbrella to Mo Ye just now, what was the reason, and she immediately gave the lighter bamboo paper umbrella in her hand to Ye Nuonuo beside her.

Seeing this scene, Mo Ye also noticed something unusual, and couldn't help but copy the black cloth umbrella that Ruan Luo was about to open again, feeling its heaviness, Mo Ye suddenly understood, and couldn't help but say it, and handed the bamboo paper umbrella in his hand back to Ruan Luo.

Ruan Luo sighed helplessly and said, "You don't have to look like this, you're about to treat me as a handicapped, am I that bad?" ”

Mo Ye said expressionlessly: "If I don't keep an eye on you for a moment, something will happen." After she said that, she glanced sideways at Bai Tao beside her, but saw Bai Tao nodding with a thoughtful expression.

"Okay." Ruan Luo shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ye Nuonuo, "Send a few of you home first." ”

……

Listening to the two maid-looking women after opening the black cloth umbrella, they exhaled the word "so heavy" almost at the same time, and several people in the tea shop also knew that the umbrella was really different from ordinary things.

However, after the black umbrella was opened, nothing strange appeared inside, and a few guys in the shop didn't think much else.

But the owner of the tea shop Yu Yong watched the young men holding two umbrellas of opposite colors blurred in the rain and mist, and he suddenly stared at the light again.

……

The six people got into the car, plus the driver who was driving the car in front, and this trip was really reluctant.

Originally, Ruan Luo just wanted to pick up Mo Ye, and there were three more people in Ye Mansion at once, and he couldn't leave a few girls in place, but when the cart arrived in the inner city, the horse pulling the cart was already salivating and sneezing-panting too fast, and the horse's nose was choking on rain.

originally

A few people were talking about the little episode that happened at the shipping ceremony, and the discussion was hot, so they didn't notice the situation.

And the carriage stopped a little when it crossed the city gate, and when the horse arrived at this time, the fatigue was already obvious, and Mo Ye in the car saw this scene, did not hesitate anything, and got out of the car with a black umbrella.

"It's not far, I'll go back by myself." Mo Ye looked at Ruan Luo, who was worried in the car, "The horse is about to lose its strength, but the symptoms of wind and cold are already obvious to several of them, I have nothing to do, take care of them first." ”

Hearing Mo Ye mention this, Ruan Luo also noticed that compared with the other three girls who were snorting and sneezing constantly, Mo Ye was not the mildest of wind chills, but seemed to be not afraid of rain at all, and now, there was no abnormality in his body.

But he hesitated.

At this time, Bai Tao also got out of the car, and she then opened a black umbrella. Standing beside Mo Ye, she said to Ruan Luo, "I'll accompany her." ”

"Okay then." Ruan Luo was finally reassured, "Pay attention to safety on the road." ”

……

There were two less people in the carriage, and it was suddenly a lot lighter, Yang Chen's horse was used to running long distances, and the short-term overwork would not really hurt it, but it only stopped a little, that is, it recovered its strength.

The East City Gate is not far from Yefu, at this time due to heavy rain, Yefu, which was originally located in a quiet residential area, is much more empty than usual, and the speed of the carriage can be much faster.

I didn't see anyone along the way, but when I was about to arrive at Yefu, the people in the car saw that there were many people gathered at the gate of the house, which was a little strange. Ye Nuonuo took a closer look at those strangers, and saw that their identities were actually from the palace.

Because of this scene, the first thing she thought of in her heart was that after her father presided over the shipping ceremony with the royal driver, he seemed to have brought some nobles from the palace home for a get-together.

Brother Hong, the second prince who is very close to him, and Brother Zhe, the third prince who has just returned from other places, are princesses who are like sisters...... It's all possible.

But Ye Nuonuo quickly shook his head again, if Wang Zhe came to the house as a guest, according to his habits, he would not bring so many entourages. Wang Hong's trip may be so grand, but with his physical condition, he will not choose to travel in such a rainy weather.

If it's a princess...... She wanted to get out of the palace, and she had never been able to make such a big fanfare-

(To be continued......)
