In the first month, the sun at noon is not hot, but the sun is warm.

Xue Rui took the reins of the horse and accompanied Yu Shu along a street lined with shops and merchants to the Wangji Building.

"Big brother, why did you come out on horseback, didn't Lao Cui drive?"

"I had other things for him to do, so I rode my own horse."

Xue Rui casually made an excuse, but in fact, half an hour ago, he couldn't rest assured when he saw Yu Shu and Jingchen leave from Dali Temple, so he went in and hurriedly sorted out the case file, entrusted it to his colleagues, and rode back. Who thought that he didn't meet the carriage in the palace on the road, but saw Yu Shu's lonely figure in the crowd in front of him from a distance on a street on the way back, he saw that it was wrong, so he didn't rush to catch up, but followed her for two streets, until he found that she was walking around without direction, and then rushed forward to call her.

Yu Shu said that he wanted to drink, Xue Rui responded, neither asked her where Jingchen went, nor did he ask her why she suddenly wanted to drink, what a cunning person he was, although Yu Shu did not show the slightest unhappiness on his face, he could still guess that she was separated from Jingchen on the way back.

In fact, the reason, Xue Rui probably also knew that it was nothing more than because of Ji Huaishan's tragic death, which made the two of them have a disagreement.

In this regard, Xue Rui was not surprised, he had already seen that the pure-hearted Daozi and the cunning Yu Shu were not all the way at all, one was a deeply educated and dustless immortal in the Daomen, and the other was a fierce woman who was crawling and fighting in the market, so that the two people had very different concepts of right and wrong, if one party could accommodate it, it would be fine, if the two were equally stubborn, it was conceivable that sooner or later there would be disputes.

Xue Rui has known Yu Shu for a long time, and with his understanding of her, he concluded that in dealing with the Ji family, she would not change her mind because of someone, even if that person was the person she once said to him that she liked, it would not make her waver in this right and wrong, as long as she felt right, she would always insist that she would not die until the heart of the Yellow River did not die, and she would not shed tears if she saw the coffin.

And this is precisely one of the things that Xue Rui admires most about Yu Shu.

Yu Shu didn't know that Xue Rui guessed the contradiction between her and Jingchen, and when she was in a bad mood, someone accompanied her, so she always wanted to find something to say to share her distraction:

"Do you still have the ten-year-old Huadiao wine we drank during the Lantern Festival last time?"

She wanted to get drunk now, and then think about nothing, and sleep happily, and when she woke up, she would think about other things.

Xue Rui said: "Yes, yes, but the wine is too intoxicating, I will ask Lao Lin to go to the wine cellar to find a jar of osmanthus for us to drink when I go back later."

At the mention of wine, Yu Shu turned his head to look at him, and suddenly remembered that he was drunk and took advantage of her a few days ago, and muttered in a low voice: "Is Huadiao intoxicating, it's not as strong as Jinquan's wine."

When Xue Rui heard her words, he couldn't help but be secretly lucky, he pretended to be drunk and approached her that day, and it was this golden spring that he drank, but fortunately, the golden spring's stamina was famous, otherwise it would definitely be exposed.

These two people, one was confused and understood, and the other was confused, and neither of them mentioned the events of that day again.

As he spoke, time couldn't help passing, the two of them didn't go from the back door because they came back from the detour, passed the front door of the Wangji Building, and were seen by Gui Qi, who was standing in front of the door to greet the guests, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Rui lead the horse, Yu Shu and Xue Rui walked in together, just past the lunch point, there are not many guests downstairs, no one recognizes the two of them, Lin Fu on the side of the counter saw people, quickly put down the silver plate, and went around to follow.

"Son, girl."

Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter and leave the backyard, and even if there are guests, they all stay in the elegant room, so it is a little deserted at noon, and when he goes downstairs, Xue Rui asks Yu Shu:

"Is it to your room, or to mine."

After he asked, he felt that this sentence was inappropriate, and seemed to be a little caressing, so he hurriedly added: "Let's go upstairs, I slept here a few nights ago to read official documents, and there was some chaos in the room."

"Okay." Yu Shu has no opinion, the layout of the elegant room here was originally for people to gather for drinking, and it was not the boudoir of the daughter's house, so there was nothing that could not be entered, so he went upstairs with Xue Rui.

Yu Shu carries the key to the door with her, and some of her valuables are stored in the Wangji Building, including the mathematical formulas and arithmetic books she sorted out a while ago, so she doesn't forget to lock the door when she goes in and out.

Xue Rui only discovered this little habit today, seeing that she took out a key tied to a rope from her neck, lowered her head and leaned up to open the door to the keyhole, her behavior was a little childish, and she couldn't help laughing, and said:

"I haven't seen anyone hang a key around their neck, isn't it sinking?"

"That's what you don't understand."

Yu Shu took off the lock, straightened up, and led him into the house, before closing the door, turning his head and shaking the rope around his neck, smiling slightly, and said to him:

"I store a lot of valuables in this house, so this key is valuable, and I've always liked to wear valuables around my neck."

Xue Rui asked, "For what?"

Yu Shu stuffed the key back into his clothes, and said casually: "Do you say that there is anything more important in this person than the head?"

Xue Rui thought about it, smiled understandingly, and said, "That's right."

You can't lose your head, so what you can hang on your head can't be lost.

The two sat down at the table and chatted for a few words, when Fluttershy and Sunny brought the hot flask and served it with a few snacks, serving it in delicate small bowls and plates, and placing them on the table.

The two little maids stood aside to distribute vegetables, Yu Shu took the initiative to lift the wine jug, and first filled a cup for her and Xue Rui, a small green porcelain wine glass, the mouth of the cup is only the size of the thumb and index finger circled in a circle, and the good osmanthus is stuffed with a layer of golden yellow on the edge of the cup, which is viscous like honey, which arouses appetite.

"Come, big brother, I'll toast you first," Yu Shu took the cup and was about to clink glasses with Xue Rui, but he avoided it lightly.

"Let's talk about it first," Xue Rui held the wine glass, stretched out a finger in front of her, and made an appointment with her in three chapters: "No matter what unhappy you are, after drinking this wine today, it will be over, and when it comes to tomorrow, you are not allowed to drink for the same thing again, if you agree, I will accompany you to drink happily today, if you don't agree, then you put down the cup for me now, don't wait until I bump into it in the future, you see if I will clean you up."

Seeing Xue Rui's deliberately stiff face, how could Yu Shu not know that he was for his own good, he laughed "poof", stretched out his hand and touched his cup lightly, raised his head and drank this sweet and drunk osmanthus brew, rubbed the corners of his mouth with his fingers, wiped away a little bitterness in his heart, and whispered to him:

"It's just this once, not for example."
