(396), strange places, strange people
~
After nearly ten years, in the spring of this year, it seems that there is an opportunity. Hayashi returned to Kyoto, although it was very sudden, but this did not affect the joy of his return.
The emperor thought that Lin Shan would not leave again when he came back, so in addition to the plan that he had already made in his heart, he walked step by step for Lin Shan's return to the court, and it was also very smooth, and the emperor quickly drew a magnificent house.
This house was built to house Lin Shan's family business, and at the beginning of the design, no matter how many wives he wanted to marry and take concubines in the future, the accommodation potential of this house had been calculated.
It's just that Lin Shan has only rested here for a few nights, and before the popularity has been left at all, there is no follow-up. It didn't take long for the house to fall under Ruan Luo's name.
Although Ruan Luo's father is no less meritorious to His Majesty than Lin Shan, this kind of change of holder is always a little awkward. However, Ruan Luo didn't know this, so when he came here, he would be surprised by Wang Zhe's fuss, and even a little doubtful that Wang Zhe had used his identity as a prince and did something to persecute him.
In fact, Ruan Luo, who knew Wang Zhe's exaggerated behavior, had a trace of expectation, but at the moment when the expectation became a reality, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
In addition to the shock, Ruan Luo's mind returned to his habitual line of thought, which made him quickly calm down again.
Planning that he has a career to work on in the future, knowing that the Song family is not an ordinary structure as it is called, Ruan Luo can probably be sure that he will move here, and it is not a foregone conclusion. He would have left later, so no matter how spacious and magnificent this place was, it was only one of the many temporary settlements he had experienced since he was born, so he had no other ideas.
The three of them sat in this living room, which would feel very strange to the three of them, and only chatted with each other for a few words. Wang Zhe took his leave. Before leaving, he just pointed to the stack of account books again, and gave Mo Ye some instructions in detail, and at the same time, he didn't give Ruan Luo a few words of warning politely, regardless of whether this would break the face of Ruan Luo, the young master of the Song family, in front of Mo Ye, who was equal to half a servant.
Looking at the back of his friend leaving in a hurry, Ruan Luo thought that he was in a hurry, and because of his identity, it was not good to ask anything more in front of Mo Ye. But when Wang Zhe left, Ruan Luo felt that there were only two people left in the house. The atmosphere will be a little weird.
For Mo Ye, at this time, she has to face a strange place and strange people, in other words. Ruan Luo is not.
Although Ruan Luo was five years older than Mo Ye, he had actually stayed in a relatively closed environment longer than Mo Ye. Ruan Luo is quiet, and the people who get along with him are all familiar people, while Mo Ye has been mixed in Lizheng Academy for a few years under the pressure of different men and women. This difference in experience. As a result, although Ruan Luo's life time is a few years longer than Mo Ye, he may not be more mature than Mo Ye in some handling experience.
For a moment, the two looked at each other slightly stunned, and seemed to be dumb.
Seeing that Mo Ye seemed to be a person who didn't like to talk much, after glancing at himself, he shifted his gaze slightly. Ruan Luo also felt a little uncomfortable, and secretly wondered in his heart: This Wang Zhe didn't know what idea he was playing, and he left people behind. Without further ado, he left.
"What should I do next?" Ruan Luo remembered Wang Zhe's original intention of inviting the girl in front of him, and in order to break the strangely quiet atmosphere in the living room, he said an almost useless nonsense.
When he made a sound, he immediately reminded Mo Ye and made Mo Ye realize. The situation between the two just now is really inappropriate.
If two people want to talk to each other, they must not let one person sing a one-man show. Mo Ye quickly responded positively. But she didn't reply to Ruan Luo's nonsense, but remembered Wang Zhe's advice when he left.
After glancing at the shadow of a small tree falling on the ground in the courtyard outside the house, Mo Ye condensed and slowly spoke, as if he was talking, and he was still thinking in his mind: "Shen Shi, it's almost dinner time, Brother Ruan doesn't have to do anything, just wait to eat." ”
When Mo Ye's gaze fell outside the door, Ruan Luo's gaze followed closely behind. Seeing what Mo Ye was observing, after her words fell, Ruan Luo smiled slightly and said, "You can look at the natural time scale, can you be accurate to the moment?" ”
Mo Ye retracted her gaze and looked at Ruan Luo, but she didn't know how to answer his words for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, she just nodded.
Even in government schools that have reached a certain level of scale, such as the Reichsho Academy, it is impossible to teach this kind of knowledge in detail, and it is very important to be familiar with this skill. In addition, if you can grind this skill to such an extreme, in addition to being a hunter who walks in the mountains and forests all year round, you may also be a person who commands the army.
Mo Ye's learning came from her master Lin Shan, but she didn't know Lin Shan's previous resume at all, and she only felt that her master would know a lot of things. In Mo Ye's memory, in addition to martial arts, the master's ability in other aspects, if she can understand it quickly, the master will not hesitate to teach her.
And now, after the sudden departure of the person she had always admired and was proud of, Mo Ye unnaturally became more defensive against the people around her, and there was some cowardice in her heart. Naturally, she will not reveal the slightest hint of her master, but it takes courage to lie. When she mentioned the matter of her master, she was in turmoil in her heart, and she lost her feet, and then she couldn't choose to say anything to Ruan Luo's pure and almost transparent smile.
Ruan Luo saw that she was silent, thinking that she was just guilty of being shy in a woman's nature, and did not think about things too complicated. On the contrary, because of Mo Ye's words just now, Ruan Luo's opinion of her at this time has undergone an essential change. Although he has no experience with girls, he has always taken people with strange skills very seriously.
"In order to understand the natural time scale, in addition to the time measurement, because the geographical location of the natural time scale is very variable, it also needs a very strong sense of direction, that is, it can distinguish the four directions. Although you didn't tell me how you learned this method, I know ......" Ruan Luo said slowly, paused slightly, and then continued: "With you by my side, I will really have to be very punctual in my future actions, and Brother Wang's vision is really unique." ”
Mo Ye smiled embarrassedly when she heard this, but she still didn't say anything immediately, but she was thinking in her heart: I have never met Wang Zhe, he didn't know that I would do this, but Brother Ruan thought deeply.
After a moment of silence, she whispered, "If it is rainy and I can't see the sun, then I won't be able to count the hour." ”
Mo Ye humbled himself, but he was also telling the truth, but he immediately won Ruan Luo's disapproval.
Ruan Luo shook his head and said, "Brother Wang must have sent another carriage to bring something from the Bojun Mansion." Rain or shine, that thing keeps track of the moment. And he arranged for you to follow me, just so that it was hard for me to lose track of time when I was outdoors. ”
Ruan Luo's words can be regarded as turning a corner and damaging Wang Zhe, and there is a hidden meaning of comparing Mo Ye to something like a ghost, but he himself does not have this kind of awareness, and it just so happens that Mo Ye does not think about it in this direction, and her attention is attracted by Ruan Luo's 'such thing'.
"What's that?" Mo Ye asked hesitantly.
"Listening to Wang Zhe, that thing is called 'rain and rain clock'." Ruan Luo did not hide it.
Mo Ye's eyes showed a sense of novelty, and then he said, "What a strange name." ”
Ruan Luo said with a smile: "That thing was obtained by Wang Zhe in order to take care of me, and I don't know where to get it. ”
When it comes to the rainy weather, Ruan Luo can't help but think of the days when he lived and recuperated in Bo County for the past three years.
Those days were originally very peaceful and indifferent, and there was almost nothing worth remembering, but in the third year of recuperation, Wang Zhe's guy didn't know where to go to worship a master who couldn't tell whether he was a hunter or a cook, and his life suddenly became turbulent. Knowing that he couldn't eat snakes, that guy still cooked snakes in the small courtyard every day, and the smell of snake soup drilled at the seams, and it inevitably lingered between his mouth and nose - it was really quite hateful.
Seeing Mo Ye looking at him, his dark eyes were obviously puzzled, Ruan Luo took back his thoughts that were gradually moving away, and his smile still couldn't help but feel more helpless, and explained: "Because it can record time whether it is sunny or rainy, and at a specific time, it can also make a sound similar to ringing a bell, prompting people that the time is up, so it is so named." ”
"It's amazing." Mo Ye couldn't help but sigh.
"I used to be in contact with businesses for a while, and they had something even more amazing there." Seeing Mo Ye's active expression, Ruan Luo also had his own opinion on this, and said it out, "As long as you can make money, it seems that people's wisdom is inexhaustible." This kind of clock that can mark the hour is really only one of its strengths, and the rest is only a complex structure, a heavy body, and an expensive price. But listening to Wang Zhe, the number of buyers has been able to match its production speed, which is a hot item. ”
Ruan Luo's purpose in saying these words was actually just to express some of his feelings, but it made Mo Ye's thoughts, who were listening on the sidelines, change.
"Actually...... You're not that naughty, are you? Mo Ye put away the novelty of what Ruan Luo said, shifted his attention to the matter in front of him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "It's impossible for you not to restrain yourself from resting on time, if you don't want to, how can others make decisions for you?" ”
Ruan Luo looked at Mo Ye Shirt with a meaningful gaze
Then he smiled faintly and said, "It's not that I can't restrain it, but it's easy to forget." It may be that I was sick for too long when I was a child, and it also affected my mind, and now I can only focus on one line of work. For example, when solving a difficult problem, you don't know how to pause halfway through the problem, and you need to be reminded. But during the day, a person has to eat at least and sleep, so it doesn't work like me. ”
