Chapter 213: Night Encounter
On rainy days, at night, and during the Chinese New Year, the streets of Yuejing are deserted with only the endless sound of rain and the sound of running water in the ditch.
I had walked very carefully, but the cotton shoes on my feet still stepped on the rain on the ground. When it is splashed, it is a wet leg. Because she had made up her mind to go back to the shop, Ye Xiaoyu relaxed a little, her pace slowed down, and she simply walked slowly on the street.
Originally, Ye Xiaoyu also wanted to ask Qinglang to accompany them to the south, after all, he was a man, and he also knew martial arts, so he could take care of each other on the road. But judging from today's virtue, there is no need, he still obediently stayed in the princess's mansion in Yuejing to accompany the princess, the matter of Lujiazhuang, Ye Xiaoyu does not dare to trouble this future horse master now.
was thinking about it with resentment, and suddenly there was a sound of wheels rubbing against the road behind her, Ye Xiaoyu subconsciously gave way to the side, but the carriage didn't seem to have the intention of going away, but stopped beside her.
"Xiaoyu?"
The curtains were pulled open, and a familiar sound came from the car.
Ye Xiaoyu turned her head, and through the dim light on the side of the street, she saw the owner of this voice clearly. Ling Yu jumped down from the carriage with an umbrella and was looking at her with an incredulous expression.
The alternating light and dark light projected on Ling Yu's body, making Ye Xiaoyu suddenly want to cry.
"Why are you here alone? Isn't it back to Quanxiu Village? Belch...... I also happened to hear Shopkeeper Liu say that you went back to Quanxiu Village. ”
Ling Yu said, as if he felt that something was wrong, so he added another sentence at the end.
"It's a long story...... Today, because of some things, I came back to Yuejing. ”
Quickly adjust your feelings. Ye Xiaoyu replied in a dumb voice.
"Then where are you going now, I'll give you a ride."
Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to say, Ling Yu didn't ask any more, but just pointed to the carriage parked next to him.
At the end of the year, there were a lot of activities between the family, and the contacts with the Jia family instantly increased, and he had just sent Jia Xiuyu home.
Grinning at the guests all day long, Ling Yu felt that his face was about to collapse, and he was thinking about squinting for a while on the carriage on the way back, but he saw a familiar figure walking slowly in front of him. called tentatively, and sure enough, it was Ye Xiaoyu.
"The shop is not far from here. I'll just walk on my own. ”
Ye Xiaoyu politely refused. If it was still Ling Yu who was in Lujiazhuang at that time. She might say yes in one bite; But now Ling Yu, Ye Xiaoyu thought about it and forgot it. Her shop has worked hard to get on the right track again, don't wait for Jia Xiuyu to see Ling Yu send her, and the results exchanged for her life will be ruined.
If she hadn't told her that day, she would have gone to find Princess Lingwan. Or sunny is a step too late. just missed the opportunity to rescue Ye Xiaoyu. Maybe things will be a little different. At least Sunny wouldn't leave her alone in this situation.
"Just by the way, it's raining so hard, how do you go. Hurry up and get in the car......"
No longer listening to Ye Xiaoyu's defense, Ling Yu took care of her and pulled her into the carriage.
The carriage of the richest man in Yuejing is different, not only is there plenty of light in the car, but also a charcoal basin is placed, as soon as he enters the carriage, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly feels warm, and can't help but thank Ling Yu who is sitting opposite.
The stone road in Yuejing City has been washed by rain for several days in a row, revealing a beautiful navy blue.
The carriage of the Ling Mansion, the wheels rubbing against the stone floor, staggered in the direction of the shop.
Just now, just behind Ling Yu's luxurious carriage, there was a carriage with an almost soaked body, which was black, cold and unusual, with neither light nor charcoal basins. Qinglang sat on the front of the car that was already soaked, stared indifferently at the light in front of him, and quietly watched Ye Xiaoyu get into the car and leave.
The always decisive young man was a little hesitant for a moment, not knowing whether to move forward or turn around and leave.
"Xiaoyu, don't worry too much about everything, you are only a few years old now, and your life is so long, you will be tired to death."
At the door of the shop, Ling Yu looked at Ye Xiaoyu and smiled.
Ye Xiaoyu, who was too precocious, sometimes made Ling Yu feel that there was no trace of youth in her at all. Of course, except for the last time she pushed Jia Xiuyu in the shop.
"My life is not long, if I live to be thirty years old and I don't die, then I will kill myself......"
Ye Xiaoyu laughed, revealing good-looking eyebrows.
"Don't talk nonsense, you will probably have your grandson in your arms by then, and you will definitely be reluctant to commit suicide."
Ling Yu also laughed. Although I have been grinning all this time lately, the meaning of this smile is completely different now.
Hug your grandchildren?
Ye Xiaoyu didn't plan to marry at all, so how could he say that his grandson would say.
But she didn't plan to refute Ling Yu, it was just a joke anyway, there was no need to take it seriously.
There was no charcoal burning in the shop, and the rain for several days made the originally sunny lobby look a little cold. Saying goodbye to Ling Yu, Ye Xiaoyu did not go back to the bedroom directly, but lit the oil lamp and leaned on the chair in the rest area alone in a daze.
Lu Yishou has such a thing, Lujiazhuang is already messy enough, I hope that I and Qinglang did not go back on time, and don't add sorrow to the people of the Lu family out of thin air.
Regarding the crime and punishment of smuggling salt, Ye Xiaoyu only listened to what others said, and she didn't have a clue at all. However, there is no library for ordinary people to enter and consult in the huge Yuejing, and the only one that collects many national collections is completely forbidden for ordinary people to borrow books. There is no way to let him in, Ye Xiaoyu has to hope that Rongzhou, which is more civilized in ideology and culture, has a library that can be consulted.
After Princess Lingwan refused to help, she had already prepared for the worst in her heart, and if she couldn't do it, she would go to court to defend Lu Yishou when the time came. Anyway, according to Liu Shangzhong, the law here stipulates that the relatives of the person who committed the crime can go to court to defend him. Although Ye Xiaoyu and Lu Yishou are not related by blood, if Li Zheng is opened, he can barely be regarded as a relative.
It is precisely because of this plan that she wants to read more relevant books and learn more, although I don't know if it is useful, at least on the surface it will not look too ugly.
The night was getting heavier and heavier, and Ye Xiaoyu didn't know how long she had been sitting in the rest area, until the feeling of numbness in her feet came to her senses, she stood up tiredly, and prepared to go back to the bedroom to sleep.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the lobby, and Ye Xiaoyu was so frightened that she almost fell down the small stairs in the rest area.
"Sunny-sunny?!! You want to scare me to death!! ”
After stabilizing his body, Ye Xiaoyu shone the oil lamp in his hand forward, and after seeing the appearance of the black shadow, he immediately scolded.
Qinglang was dressed in black, standing in the lobby of the shop, and the whole person was about to disappear into the darkness.
"Won't you tell me to open the door, just break in like this, and try to kill me for money??"
Ye Xiaoyu carried the oil lamp and walked in a little. I want to make sure that the person in front of me is sunny and not a sculpture.
"I screamed for a long time, but no one responded."
The sunshine of the black statue finally opened its mouth.
"Didn't you stay in the princess's mansion? Didn't you tell me to go back and report my safety? Why did you come here again? ”
After confirming that the person in front of him was a man with facial paralysis who was like a fake, Ye Xiaoyu's anger did not come anywhere.
"You didn't go back to report your safety."
Qinglang moved her feet and looked at Ye Xiaoyu lightly.
I'm going to-
What is the answer?
Could it be that Qinglang learned that Ye Xiaoyu didn't go back to report his safety, and then rushed here to urge himself, so that he could go back overnight and tell his family that he was enjoying happiness in the princess's mansion? Or did Ye Xiaoyu not go back to convey this message for the princess, so that he was wronged?
"You're going to be happy in the princess's mansion, it doesn't matter if I report your peace or not, right?"
Ye Xiaoyu replied angrily. Glared at Qing Lang angrily.
Through the light, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly saw that half of Qinglang's body was soaked, and when he turned around, he saw that his pants were all wet. Because it's black, and it's night, you can't really see it if you don't look at it carefully.
"Did you fall into the water? Why is it all wet? ”
Seeing that he was worse than himself, Ye Xiaoyu's anger subsided slightly, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to his pants.
Unexpectedly, there was no answer.
After tossing for a day, Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to speak anymore, because Qinglang suddenly appeared, and he was completely sleepy, so he got up and went to the kitchen in the inner hall to boil some hot water.
Although bad things are piling up during this time, and waves of unsettled waves have risen again, but "things are dead and people are alive", and the living must always live strongly, only in this way can we find a way out to solve the problem.
Sure enough, Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang did not return overnight, which made Lujiazhuang worry out of thin air. But because everyone was anxious about Lu Yishou's affairs, there was no extra mind to allocate to these two people, so it didn't cause much panic, but Lu Qian kept babbling.
When she went out yesterday, Ye Xiaoyu didn't truthfully say that she was going to ask for the princess, but said ambiguously that she would go to Yuejing to see if she could find someone who could help. Because the shop was opened in Yuejing, Jiang Ping was very relieved of Ye Xiaoyu's ability, so she didn't ask too much, and went directly to her.
But the fruitless empty-handed return made Ye Xiaoyu a little afraid to face Jiang Ping's expectant eyes.
But in the past two days, Jiang Ping, who has always been arrogant, seemed to be used to being disappointed, and did not react much to the news that Ye Xiaoyu brought back, but just patted her shoulder with his hand and comforted her not to blame herself too much.
Plans to go south were thus put on the agenda.
Although this happened to Lu Yishou, many businesses in Lujiazhuang are still operating, especially the vegetable business in the field. Therefore, the Lu family must leave one or two people in charge at home, otherwise they will all go away, and rely on those hired workers to maintain it alone, which is not only dangerous but also chaotic.
But who stays at home is another headache.
Ye Xiaoyu is so smart and clever, Jiang Ping wants to bring it, but Lu Qian is crying and crying, and he definitely can't stay. If you bring sunny again, then only Lu Meijiao will be left in the house. But if Qinglang is left at home to take care of business, and the three of them go to such a far place, and there is no one to take care of them, Jiang Ping is not at ease. (To be continued......)
