"Your shelf is not small, and you want me to come and ask you to come out in person."

Yu Shuwan didn't expect Xue Rui to find the prison in person, a few months ago the two of them broke up unhappily in Yiyang City, although he didn't say that it was a good break, but it was not far from being a stranger, even if he took care of his old feelings and helped, just find a reason to release her from prison, there was no reason to go forward again.

But the man is in front of her now, and she can't believe it or not.

Xue Rui's eyes were very good, and by the light of the torches in the aisle of the prison, he could see clearly the entanglement and puzzlement on Yu Shu's face, and laughed secretly, this girl is usually shrewd and slippery, and it is not easy to see her stupid.

"What are you still doing lying down, don't you get up quickly, are you going to spend the night in prison?" Xue Rui jokingly stood up, took two steps back, walked to the outside of the cell door, and beckoned to her.

It's all on this, and it will be hypocritical to rely on it any longer, Yu Shu muttered, got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and raised his legs to follow him.

Without saying a word all the way, he walked out of the cell, passed through two prison doors, and left the prison unimpeded, Yu Shu listened to a few jailers calling Xue Rui "adult" one after another, and he didn't know what kind of official he was doing now, and he was in Chunxianglou during the day.

The imperial court scientific examination was in February, when he was still in Yiyang City, thinking that this official was not a normal imperial examination, but a family shade, it is said that this Xue family is extremely high in the gate of Anling City, otherwise there will not be a housekeeper to Yiyang, and a few masters of the Ji family have to come to the door in person to visit, and nod their heads.

Yu Shu looked at the back of Xue Rui's head and pouted secretly, everyone is the second generation of officials, but this kid doesn't know how many generations he has been an official.

After all, the prison door is where the prisoners are held. Outside the door was facing a remote street, very deserted, there was a single-horse carriage parked on the side of the road, the cell boss sent them outside the door, and asked for their lives to go back, Yu Shu watched Xue Rui get into the carriage, hesitated, and didn't know how to say goodbye to him. Although she was suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, she really didn't want to live with him.

As soon as Xue Rui got into the car, he opened the window and saw Yu Shu standing still, knowing her little caution. Fingers tapped on the edge of the window, and before she could speak, she said:

"Come on, it's late today, I'll send you back first."

This black light blinded, it really made Yu Shu go home alone, she Xu had to feel lost, and heard him say that he was going to send her back, not to go elsewhere. He breathed a sigh of relief, simply got into the car, and reported the name of the place to the groom who was driving.

But as soon as the carriage ran far away, she regretted it.

"Tell me, why did you come to Anling?" Xue Rui folded his two long legs and looked at Yu Shu for a long time, he said that he wanted to send her to ask, but he didn't say that he wouldn't talk to her in the car.

“”

Xue Rui waited for a long time and didn't see Yu Shu respond. Just look at her lowering her head and playing with her fingers, as if she didn't hear him ask, but in fact she was pretending to be dumb, and at other times, he had the patience to wait for her to speak voluntarily, but not today, the road is so long. Wait until someone is delivered, he has other things to do in the evening.

"Okay, don't ask about this, then talk about today's events," Xue Rui changed the topic. The tone was a little mocking:

"I said that you are better than anyone else, and today I know that you are also more stupid than others, you go to the territory of the Evergreen Gang to gamble, and you know how many catties and taels you have, and you don't know what to do if you are sold."

Hearing this, Yu Shu raised his head, frowned and looked at him, something was wrong in his heart, so he didn't care about his ridicule, and looked back at the casino in Chunxianglou this morning.

Thirty people gambled together, why did the person who spent money on the number just choose her, and placed a bet of four hundred taels on four questions, it turned out that she was not confident in the topic, but regarded her as a weak chicken.

Even if the gambler who made the problem is not a member of the Evergreen Gang, he has nothing to do with the Evergreen Gang, and he should have planned to pick a novice to blackmail in the morning, so he did something about the joint of choosing the brand.

She thought it was a blind cat that met a dead mouse, and she was full of desire to win other people's money, but she had already been cheated by others, no wonder the two Yi Shi who were invited to judge refused to solve the problem for her, this group of people were all in a group, and I don't know that among the thirty people in Lu Dao, several of them were cheated like her.

Xue Rui looked at her with annoyance on his face before he spoke:

"Ten gambling and nine fraud, as long as you occupy a gambling word, there is no one who does not hide treachery, why do you think the south of the city should ban gambling, gambling is easy to originate, it is a game of easy customers to fight in their spare time, occasionally add color, and then use it for profit. Anling is the capital of the world, the three religions and nine streams come here, can not pass the north of the city, then gather in the south of the city, because it is hidden in the market, it is difficult to control, it is to often gather gambling and harm people. In recent years, there are people in the name of gambling trade, trapping Yike, borrowing gambling debts to coerce Yi, you meet today, just such a game, the thirty gamblers, in addition to you, there are two people who entered Beijing to go to Dayan, if they are pinched, they will have to serve their work in the future, be controlled by it, and want to get out of it. ”

Yu Shu listened to his detailed explanation, a little afraid, and then remembered that this time it was because of him that she was able to get out of trouble, she didn't want to owe this favor too late, and she was depressed, but she still had to thank you:

"It's good that you brought someone to find out there, otherwise I'd be unlucky again, thank you."

Xue Rui smiled, clasped his hands on his knees, and said, "Then now I can tell me, how did you come to the capital?" ”

Yu Shu sighed secretly, this is why she hates and owes favors, and she can't refuse justifiably, so she can only answer honestly:

"I offended the Ji family, and I couldn't stay in Yiyang City, for fear of causing trouble to others, so I left Shangjing to make a living."

Of course, Xue Rui knew Yu Shu's grievances with the Ji family, and he also knew how she had offended the Ji family so much that she had to leave. A few months ago, when she was still in Yiyang, he was present when she went to the county government to beat the drum and complain, and witnessed her ruthlessness in framing the Ji family.

Yu Shu saw that Xue Rui didn't speak and just looked at her, he was a little uncomfortable, moved his body, coughed, raised his eyes to see the rickety orange lampshade hanging on the roof of the car, and said expressionlessly:

"At that time, I couldn't help it."

Xue Rui hesitated for a moment and asked, "At that time?" When? ”

Yu Shu didn't know if he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, or if he really didn't remember, so he pursed his lips and said dryly: "It's in the Yiyang Annex, I'll smash you." ”

"Oh," Xue Rui's eyes moved, and he half-squinted at her, "Why do you want to say that you can't live with me?" ”

He thought that his excessive behavior that day, and when the two met again, he should apologize if he really mentioned it. He didn't think that he would meet Lu again afterwards, and he didn't expect such a scene, she opened his mouth first, it stands to reason that he should be happy, at least she didn't misunderstand his intentions at the time.

But hearing her say it so directly, without the shyness and scheming of ordinary girls, it made him feel a little strange.

Yu Shu was confused, snorted, touched his ears sideways, and said with a little embarrassment: "You deliberately said those strange things to provoke me that day, and you also said to me-cough, I didn't see it at the time, I thought you really wanted to ask me to be a concubine, and you smashed your head on me, I'm sorry." ”

To be honest, his sentence "Follow me" really scared her at that time, and the serious remarks about asking her to be a concubine made her misunderstand, otherwise she wouldn't have been unable to see that he was acting, and gave him a hard slap in anger.

Xue Rui listened to her, and then he knew what was strange about the Dao, seeing her serious Dao Lu apology, he didn't take his words seriously at all, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he held his forehead with one hand, and couldn't help laughing:

"Ha, haha."

What he said and did that day was indeed to provoke her, but that doesn't mean he was lying, this girl, she wants to die, how can she be so stupid.

It was a shame that he bumped into her on the street the day before yesterday, and did not dare to pretend to admit her for fear that she would avoid it, because it turned out that she did not take his words seriously at all.

Yu Shu saw that he was laughing decently, but he didn't think what he said was funny, so he asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xue Rui put down his hand, shook his head slightly, held the smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked at her with a pair of dark eyes:

"It's nothing, it's good if you don't hold a grudge against me."

When Yu Shu heard this, he was a little happy when he saw that he didn't care, and his words and deeds were let go a little, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not that I can't tell right from wrong, what is there to hold grudges, you look at me too carefully." ”

Xue Rui looked at her with a smile: "I don't know who Lu Dao is, because I made fun of her slippery head, so I secretly drew a turtle on the back of my account book and wrote my name on the back shell." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Shu choked on saliva, and was thinking about how to reply, when he was suddenly stunned.

This is about when she was still working in Mianzhai, and when he was still Cao's shopkeeper.

In Yiyang, he has never admitted that he is Cao Zixin, but now he suddenly mentioned the past, did he accidentally say that he leaked his mouth, or

Xue Rui looked at her in a daze, probably knowing what she was thinking, sighed lightly, and said apologetically:

"Ashu, at that time, I'm sorry."

When Yu Shu heard him call her name, she came back to her senses, and she couldn't say a little sour in her heart, so she followed his example, pretended to be stupid and asked him:

"What are you sorry about me?"

Xue Rui Zhengsedao:

"Because of some hardships, I had to pretend that I didn't know you in Yiyang, and I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, so I can't help it."

Yu Shu lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time, just when Xue Rui was drumming in his heart, he heard the coachman say outside:

"My lord, West Sixth Street has arrived."
