Yu Shu and Jing Chen walked out of Taixi Building one after another, the former looked depressed, the latter looked forbearing, no one spoke, until they entered the Kunling Bureau, Yu Shu slowed down, let Jing Chen walk in front, and followed him to the second floor under a few pairs of eyes peeking.

As soon as the two figures disappeared at the top of the stairs, a few heads poked out of the room, stretched their necks and looked upstairs, why did Yu Nuyu come back with Lord Youling, and what did the two of them say about hiding upstairs?

Yu Shu closed the door, turned around and almost hit Jingchen's chest. "Xiaoyu, don't be angry, listen to me-"

"Don't explain," she nudged him away, took two steps forward around him, and turned back, "I don't blame you, I guess you didn't know beforehand." ”

Jingchen nodded. This morning, the emperor set off for Huazhen Garden, Da Tidian and he were in the queue to see him off, Luan drove out of Anling City, they turned back to Si Tianjian, just sat down in Taixi Tower, Da Tidian talked about Emperor Zhaoqing's "entrustment", let people go to Kunling Bureau to find Yu Shu, there was no room for him to shirk.

Yu Shu snorted coldly: "The big mention must know that you told me the secret of the Great An, so there is no need to hide it in front of me, and if the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come." ”

She dared to say that she had just proposed marriage in Taixi Building, and if she refused in person and pierced the only remaining layer of window paper, she would definitely be even more unkind to her.

Jingchen said worriedly: "When he asks you to answer the day after tomorrow, what will you do?" ”

Yu Shu walked around, thinking about it and not having an idea, just when she was upset, Jingchen hesitated and said: "It's really not good." You just agree first, it will take some time to prepare for the marriage, and we can delay it for a day. ”

"You say it lightly." Yu Shu muttered, she still hid this matter from Xue Rui, if she agreed to mention it and it reached Xue Rui's ears afterwards, what would he think? What man in this world hears that his beloved woman is going to marry a rival in love, and he can face it calmly, even if it is fake.

Come to think of it, no matter how she replied to the big point. It is best to report to Xue Rui in advance.

"Are you afraid that the person will misunderstand?" Jingchen suddenly asked.

"Who?" Yu Shu was absent-minded. I didn't understand.

"The person you like in your heart," Jing Chen slowed down his tone, "Didn't you tell him about the matter between me and you?" ”

"Uh," Yu Shu's eyes fluttered, and he turned his head to hide his weakness: "Such a big matter of human life." How could I sue him. ”

She could only whisper sorry to Jingchen in her heart. It wasn't that she deliberately lied to him. It's that she doesn't want to expose Xue Rui. No matter how Jing Chen and Xue Rui are brothers, she can't be sure that Jing Chen won't be upset after knowing her relationship with Xue Rui. The two brothers turned against each other before they could recognize each other, and the thought of her made me feel full of guilt, even though she was the most innocent person.

"I'll go back and figure it out, you'll be here." Yu Shu dropped a sentence and left in a hurry, not finding the pair of inquiring eyes that Jing Chen had fallen on her back

Yu Shu took two inseparable followers to leave early from Kunling Bureau, worrying about how to confess to Xue Rui about her forced marriage, and when she walked to the gate of Si Tianjian, she saw a familiar carriage parked on the opposite street, and couldn't help but want to turn around and hide back.

"This man really doesn't talk about it."

She walked over with a broken face, the coachman Lao Cui quickly put down the small bench for her to step on, opened the heavy leather curtain with one hand, Yu Shu probed in, half of his body was still outside the car, and when he saw the person sitting next to Xue Rui, he suddenly opened his mouth in surprise and hurriedly got into the carriage.

Jin Ke smiled and said, "My little sister is happy to see me?" ”

Originally, Xue Rui introduced Yu Shu to Jin Ke, so he called him his righteous sister, and Jin Ke always regarded himself as Xue Rui's brother, so he called her "little sister".

Yu Shu couldn't close his mouth excitedly, seeing Jin Ke at this time was like seeing a savior.

"Jin Daxia, you're coming back so soon," she leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Is Mr. Yanye here too?" Yunhua's name is inconvenient to mention outside, so he is commensurate with his wild name.

Jin Kehu said with a face: "What is the name of the hero, just like my brother, call me my eldest brother." ”

"Mmmm, big brother," Yu Shu was as kind as he was, and he didn't care about Xue Rui, who had never called him like this, and asked with a shy face: "Just you came back alone?" ”

Jin Ke also learned from her to move forward, and in the direction of Xue Rui, Nunu mouthed, squeezed his eyebrows at her, and said, "My father-in-law is also here." ”

Yu Shu followed his eyes and looked at Xue Rui, and it was not difficult to find that although he pretended to be casual, he was actually as happy as she was for Yunhua's timely arrival.

"What about the gentleman, shall we go see him now?"

"Don't be in a hurry, his old man settled in the south of the city, that place is not easy to find, and it is not convenient to go during the day. When it gets dark, I'll send you there quietly, and I'll make sure you don't know what's going on. Jin Ke patted his chest and packed the ticket.

Yu Shu nodded again and again, it is inconvenient to move during the day, in case someone follows him, wouldn't it harm Yunhua.

Xue Rui said to her: "Jin Ke came back this morning, first went to Baochang Street and took a turn, and found that there were more than ten spies ambushed around your house, which made people round inside and out, and your every move was watched by someone, so don't take it lightly." When it gets dark, you change into clothes that make it easy to walk in, and wait in your room, and you don't have to do anything, and Jin Ke will take you out. ”

Yu Shu was secretly frightened, but she also knew why there were so many eyeliners at her doorstep.

The three of them carefully confirmed tonight's actions, Xue Rui sent Yu Shu home and left, Yu Shu couldn't say it in the end, and he had already started to prepare for Jing Chen's life, and Xue Rui didn't tell her about Xue Lingnan's arrangements.

The two of them cautiously groped for a way out in the future, hoping that after seeing Yunhua tonight, they would be able to give an explanation.

***

That night, Yu Shu had dinner early, sent away the maid who was waiting in the house, and declared that she was going to divinate tonight and would not allow anyone to disturb her, leaving Abe Aoi alone to keep vigil outside.

After closing the door, Yu Shu found a set of darker cotton clothes and pants from the wardrobe and put them on. He put his long hair on top of his head, put on a gray leather hat, and put on a pair of cotton shoes with mille-feuille soles, and when he was ready, he sat on the edge of the bed and waited.

When she arrived, her eyes were straight as she stared at the candle flame on the table, and suddenly she heard the cry of an owl outside the window behind the house, and immediately stood up and went to open the window.

Outside, there was a black rumbling, and suddenly a hand came out, and a few fingers grabbed the windowsill. Thanks to Yu Shu's boldness. I wasn't intimidated by him.

The ground behind the house was low, and the windows were six or seven feet high from the ground, and Jin Ke deftly climbed in, dressed in a night suit. Tightly wrapped from head to toe. Only one pair of eyes was exposed and shining. He glanced at Yu Shu's clothes, his eyes crooked, and handed her a bag of things. A muffled voice came from behind the mask:

"Wrap yourself up and keep your voice out."

Yu Shu was supposed to be the same night clothes as him, and when she shook off the burden, it turned out to be a wide black cloak, she didn't ask much, and put it on her body according to his words, and saw Jin Ke nodding and jumping out of the window again.

"Little sister jumps down, don't be afraid, I can't fall you."

Yu Shu climbed up to the window with his hands and feet, glanced at the dark ground, swallowed his saliva and jumped down, but he didn't expect a pair of hands to drag her knees, she couldn't land on her feet, she was carried on her shoulders, and her eyes flew, and she flew up.

She didn't scream for a long time, the wind was whistling in her ears, the light and shadow were flowing backwards, and Jin Ke was like a flying arrow off the string, carrying her effortlessly on the roof and wall.

Before Yu Shu could ease up, he was taken out of the mansion, ran wildly, and stopped at a strange alley, then put her on the ground, helped her dizzy and sat in the sedan chair that had been prepared long ago, and Gui Liuyi carried her away quickly.

Half an hour later, Yu Shu met Xue Rui in a humble inn in the south of the city, and she vomited on the way, her face pale. Jin Ke followed her apologetically and explained to Xue Rui in a low voice:

"Run a little faster."

Yu Shu asked Xue Rui to sit down with her, waved his hand and said, "Don't blame the eldest brother, it's me who ate too much for dinner." ”

There were just three of them in the house, Guiliu was guarding outside, Xue Rui poured hot water for her, and said, "Mr. Yanye is nearby, you rest and we'll leave." ”

Yu Shu drank a few sips of hot tea to warm his stomach, and shook his head when he heard the words: "Don't stop, I'm fine, let's go." "She just can't wait.

Xue Rui was helpless, took out the disguised thing from the lacquer box on the coffee table on the side, lifted her chin and added a few pockmarks to her face, and drew two thick eyebrows for her. Yu Shu touched his face, he didn't know what he was tossed into by him, but seeing that he was just sticking two lips and beards, and he was still personable, he felt wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?" ”

Jin Ke laughed dryly on the side, Xue Rui didn't answer, straightened her velvet hat, pulled her up and said, "You'll know when you get to the place." ”

The three of them came out of the back door, and they divided into two ways, and when they reached the street, Jin Ke disappeared in a flash. It was already the middle of the night, there were few pedestrians on the road, most of the shops on the street were closed, and only one tavern was lit up.

Yu Shu was stunned and followed Xue Rui forward for a while, turned left and right, suddenly heard the silk and bamboo in the distance, turned around the first few street corners, the painting style changed suddenly, and the fragrance of purple and red was fragrant, which made her drunk.

Obediently, there is a flower and willow alley hidden in this place!

"Oh, this son, come and sit in our Tianxiang Courtyard!"

"Uncle stay, go inside and drink a glass of wine to warm up, and the slave family will sing you a little song?"

The narrow streets couldn't even get into a carriage, but there was a group of bewitching women crowded in front of their respective doors to laugh, colorful handkerchiefs flying in the air, Yu Shu was dazzled, and if he didn't pay attention, he was almost pulled in.

Xue Rui dragged her back without a trace, and waved away a few fireworks women who were blocking the way with a cold face, not only did she not cause people to be afraid, but a sister smiled stupidly, staring intently at Xue Rui's rare handsome face, and said with flattering eyes: "Brother, you have so much strength that you have made the slave family die of pain, hmm." ”

As he spoke, he was about to reach out to caress Xue Rui's chest, and the long hooked nails fell in Yu Shu's eyes, just like the claws of a white bone spirit.

There was a burst of fire in her eyes, and without waiting for Xue Rui to dodge, she slapped the paw away, squeezed it in front of him, and pushed it with both hands, no matter whether she touched the girl's crisp breasts or fragrant shoulders, she just walked forward, slapped her left and slapped her right, and didn't know how many thieves fell. insisted on opening a way for Xue Rui, and he didn't ask any goblin to touch him halfway.

Xue Rui watched her seizure, crying and laughing, and seeing that she was about to go over, he hurriedly grabbed her and said in a low voice: "It's here." ”

Yu Shu stopped and looked up, there was a horizontal plaque hanging on the door of this kiln, and the words "Red Flower Pavilion" were written in a meandering manner, which was vulgar and vulgar. The kiln sister at the door quickly stuck to her like a fly. This time, Xue Rui didn't push people away. Instead, he pulled Yu Shu in, called the old bustard, and threw a silver ingot to her.

"I heard you have a Qianqian girl here?"

The old bustard quickly put the ingots into his sleeve, but his face was embarrassed: "Uncle is here to find Qianqian." It just so happened that she wasn't feeling well today. Didn't pick up any customers all day. You see, why don't you change people, how about letting Yanyan serve you? ”

Xue Rui took out another ingot. After a flick in front of her, the old bustard's expression immediately changed: "Oh, look at my memory, Qianqian was uncomfortable yesterday, isn't it good today, you go upstairs and please, the slave will call her out to meet the guest." ”

The two of them followed her upstairs, where the stairs were narrow enough to accommodate a person, Yu Shu walked at the end, and while the old bustard was not paying attention, he pinched his waist hard.

Xue Rui was in pain and looked back at her.

Yu Shu glared at him: What Qianqian Yanyan, what kind of place is this?

Xue Rui's eyes were innocent, he paused slightly, leaned over to her ear, and said softly: "You'll know when you see someone later." ”

Yu Shu let her go, and they followed the bustard to the door of a room on the top of the second floor, and the bustard knocked on the door and said, "Qianqian, there are guests here, you quickly pack up and come out to meet someone." ”

After a while, a delicate promise came from inside: "Mom, wait for a while, wait for people to wear clothes." ”

Yu Shu had goosebumps when she heard the voice, and waited patiently outside the door, during which she peeked at Xue Rui several times, and found that his jaw was tight, knowing that he was not all looking forward to the next meeting.

She can completely understand that this time is different from the last time, when they met Yunhua in the return house, Xue Rui didn't know that Yunhua was his father at all, and this time it was a real meeting between father and son. No matter who it is, I haven't seen my father since I was a child, and I will definitely feel at a loss when I suddenly want to meet my father after 20 years.

It didn't take long for footsteps to sound on the other side of the door, as if someone was dragging their shoes to open the door.

"Squeak", the door opened a crack, but the people inside did not come out, but dragged and dragged inside, the old bustard smiled apologetically at the two of them, and pushed the door open.

"Uncle, go in, Qianqian is waiting," he said and went to pull Yu Shu again: "Little brother go down with me to listen to the music, don't get in the way of your son-in-law's good deeds here." ”

co-authored her to treat Yu Shu as a follower. Before her face darkened, Xue Rui separated the old bustard, sent her away in a few words, and pulled Yu Shu into the house and closed the door from the inside.

Yu Shu stepped on him angrily, took the lead and walked in, and when he looked up, he was stunned. This room is not big, there are two compartments inside and outside, a layer of gauze curtains hangs on the wall, two screens block the door, there is a low couch opposite, a rose-red mattress is spread, and there is a person sitting cross-legged on the top, wearing a small jacket with a red bottom, a plush shawl, holding a double-ring sideburns, embellished with a red hairpin jade ring, greased and powdered, the face is beautiful, just a pair of hanging horn eyes, but no matter how you look at it, it feels familiar.

"You-you're not, you're not, not that, who-"

The man rolled his eyes and threw off his shawl: "Zhao Xiaozhu, my name is Zhao Xiaozhu, what kind of memory do you have." ”

Yu Shu suddenly realized, isn't this Qinglou girl named Qianqian the kid they met in Anxian County!

"So you're a woman!"

"Phew," Zhao Xiaozhu shouted unhappily: "Who is a woman, the master is a big man, if it is fake." ”

Yu Shu was surprised, stared at him with good eyes, and said, "It's really fake, I can't see it at all." ”

Zhao Xiaozhu glared at her angrily: "Each other, the first time I saw you, I didn't see that you were a woman." ”

As soon as the two met, they quarreled, Xue Rui was on the side, but he was much more comfortable than when he entered the door, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a door in the middle of the room.

As if in response to his gaze, the door was gently opened from the inside, the bead curtain was moved, and a dark and black mink fur came into view, first a pair of new boots, then a pearl belt, and finally a pair of peach blossom eyes of destiny, and the whole person came out of the darkness.

There was suddenly no sound in the room, Yu Shu's words were stuck in his throat, and his brain was a little dull when he looked at the man who suddenly appeared.

Yunhua was much more neatly dressed than when they last met, no longer wearing a shawl, and no longer sackcloth shoes, he looked very energetic in his well-dressed clothes, if it weren't for the white hair on his sideburns that revealed his age, he would stand out like this, I don't know how many little girls he could fascinate and die.

Yu Shu guessed that he probably wanted to make a good impression on Xue Rui, so he deliberately changed it.

She glanced back at Xue Rui, and compared Yunhua, I have to say that although the two of them are not very similar in appearance, if they stand together, based on their temperament alone, no one will deny that they are father and son.

"You're here." Yun Hua nodded lightly at Xue Rui, and there was an indescribable burning heat in his eyes.

Yu Shu blinked, suddenly reacted, and looked at him in surprise: "You, can you speak?" ”

Although Yun Hua's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and she couldn't even hear what he was saying without paying attention, he did make a sound, not a mute person as she had known before.

Xue Rui frowned, Yun Hua looked at him tightly, Zhao Xiaozhu was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained for Yun Hua: "My father-in-law did burn his throat, it's not that he can't speak, but he can't speak, I haven't heard him speak for many years, who knows that I won't care about you when I see you." ”

Saying that, he turned around and went to Yunhua, wanting to help him sit down, and whispered: "Don't make a sound, you have to cough up blood when you turn around, I'll go prepare paper and pen." ”

Yun Hua gently pushed away Zhao Xiaozhu's arm, shook his head, refused his support, took a step forward, stood in front of Xue Rui, met Xue Rui's deep gaze, smiled slightly, and said to him slowly and stubbornly:

"Shining, this is the name your mother gave you, and she hopes that you will be as good as your name and have a peaceful life." (To be continued......)
