Thinking that because of Xue Rui's face, the Confession House did not dare to raise the price, Yu Shu spent two hundred taels of silver to get Bai Ran's deed of sale, and then received a maid who served tea and poured water, a guard of the courtyard, and a servant woman who swept the floor and cooked.

It was almost noon, Xue Rui intended to go back to the machine building with Yu Shu to sit down, seeing that Jingchen and Shui Yun planned to continue to follow, they invited them together, and the two of them were not polite to him, so they took advantage of the situation.

This time, four people were taken away, except for the servant woman who cooked to send it to Aunt Cui, the other three had to be taken home, Yu Shu thought about it, and asked Xue Rui to ask for a carriage from the Confession Hospital, and send Bai Ran and them to Zhao Hui's house first.

Sending people away and leaving the gate of the courtyard, Yu Shu looked at the remaining servant woman who had not been sent away, and said to Xue Rui: "Big brother, I want to go to my mother's place, you and Jingchen and they will go to the Wangji Building to wait for me, and let Lao Cui send me."

Xue Rui glanced at her, turned his head and asked Jingchen: "Daozi still remembers where the Forgotten Machine Building is, right?"

Jingchen nodded, he had been to the restaurant a few times and knew the way.

Xue Rui said: "Then you and the water girl will go first, and I will accompany Ah Shu to go, and then we will see you in the Wangji Building."

After speaking, without waiting for Jing Chen to have any different opinions, he pointed to his carriage and asked Yu Shu to sit on it first, Yu Shu hesitated, then got into the car, thought about it, or opened the curtain and said to Jing Chen, who was standing on the side of the road:

"I'll see you later."

Xue Rui also got into the car, and the servant woman was arranged to sit next to the groom Lao Cui, and the car ran slowly, Jingchen watched the carriage disappear around the corner, only to hear Shui Yun call him.

"Senior brother, senior brother, let's get in the car too, it's a little cold outside." Shui Yun pulled Jingchen's sleeve, the weather was fine in the morning, but it turned cloudy at this moment, and the cold wind at the intersection was swishing, blowing her face red.

Jingchen turned his head to see her shrinking her neck, and remembered that she had just recovered from illness, so he retracted his thoughts. Busy let her into the car.

***

When he arrived at the corner of Aunt Cui in the east of the city, Yu Shu asked Xue Rui to wait in the car outside, and led the servant woman who was cooking to the small courtyard.

A few days after Aunt Cui escaped from the Ji family, she found that the Ji family did not send anyone to arrest her, and after she was safe, the snarky spirit came back, and when she saw Yu Shu, she had no good words, and scolded her for being unfilial. blamed her for living a hard life.

Yu Shu knew that this woman was snobbish, and the big Yan test had not yet been released, she had no merit and fame, and she didn't expect her to have a good face for herself for a while, leaving people, and leaving with some broken silver. Even Yu Xiaoxiu was pushed off the horse and broke his head, and he was sick in bed, and he didn't mention it to Aunt Cui.

Back in the carriage, as soon as Yu Shu sat down, he heard Xue Rui ask: "How is your mother, are you still used to living in this place?"

Because the two met in Yiyang City, Xue Rui knew the situation of Yu Shu's family very well, and knew that their mother-daughter relationship was not close, but no matter how they said it, they were the biological mothers of Yu Shu's sisters and brothers, so they still had to show their concern appropriately.

"What's not used to. Eat well and sleep well, no one has beaten and scolded, and it is much more comfortable than the Ji family's firewood room. Yu Shu said lightly mocking.

Hearing this, Xue Rui smartly changed the topic, "Is Xiao Xiu better today, is his head still dizzy?"

When Yu Xiaoxiu was mentioned, Yu Shu's face cleared and said, "It's much better, but I don't have any energy." It takes a while to recuperate. ”

Xue Rui nodded. Paying attention, the two then talked about the banquet in the princess's mansion the day after tomorrow.

"This banquet was ordered by the emperor. There must be a lot of guests going that day, why don't I go to Aunt Hui's house to pick you up first, and then we will go together?" Xue Rui proposed.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home the day after tomorrow." Yu Shu is willing to Xue Rui to be her companion, which is better than being stupid and not even touching the door.

During the conversation, the carriage passed from the east of the city to the north of the city, and stopped in front of the backyard of the Wangji Building.

***

The four of them got together for lunch, and Xue Rui originally said that he would take a few of them to a nearby theater garden to watch shadow puppetry, but Shui Yun seemed to have eaten the wind before, and her body was a little uncomfortable, so Jing Chen had to take her away first.

Yu Shu sent people outside the backyard door, Shui Yun got into the car first, Jingchen stood outside the car, and before leaving, he had the opportunity to speak to Yu Shu:

"Xiaoyu, you don't know where the Princess Mansion is, I will send someone to pick you up the day after tomorrow."

Yu Shu had said to Xue Rui before, so he shook his head and smiled: "Don't bother, I'll talk to Brother Xue about going over together."

Hearing this, Jing Chen subconsciously frowned his eyebrows, looked at Xue Rui standing behind Yu Shu, and saw the two of them overlapping each other, somehow feeling a little empty in his heart.

"We're back."

"Hmm."

Yu Shu watched Jingchen's carriage leave, and couldn't help but exhale secretly, feeling relieved, I don't know when she could no longer be as relaxed as before in the face of Jingchen.

Xue Rui watched her every move in his eyes and knew it, but he didn't break it or unravel, just waiting for Yu Shu to look down on that relationship and wait for the best time to make another move.

"Let's go in too, and since we're here, I'll check the accounts." She turned around and said to Xue Rui, and the two returned to the restaurant one after the other.

Xue Rui put his hands behind his back and slowly followed her up to the second floor.

***

Xue Rui was going to have dinner with Yu Shu and then send her back, but in the middle of the afternoon, some of his subordinates hurriedly found the Wangji Building, Xue Rui was not a person who forgot his personal interests because of business, and immediately greeted Yu Shu and took people back to Dali Temple, of course, he didn't forget to leave Lao Cui and send Yu Shu back.

After reading the account book, Yu Shu planned to go home, and as soon as he went out, he bumped into his buddy Guiliu.

"Girl, someone has a letter for you ahead." Gui Liu took out a yellow envelope and held it in front of Yu Shu.

Yu Shu took it, and while dismantling it, he asked strangely, "Who is looking for me?"

Guiliu shook his head, "I didn't say it, a maid, I'll leave it to you by name." ”

Yu Shu's mind lit up, he knew it in his heart, and then shook off the letter and took a look, sure enough, it was Xia Mingming's font, there was no crepe content, and Xia Mingming also knew that she was a "rough person":

Ah Shu, see Xinjia, said to see you at the end of the month, I waited for a long time, I can see you tomorrow, I came to find you, dusk is coming, see you or not.

"Ahh After reading the letter, Yu Shu patted her head, things have been chaotic these days, and she forgot about making an appointment with Xia Mingming to meet.

Since the day of the Lantern Festival, Xia Mingming's girl and Ji Xingxuan went to the Forgotten Machine Building to have a quarrel, and after she was caught by her, it has been half a month, and the two have been writing to each other, and they have not seen each other in private.

She heard from Xue Rui that Xia Ming was already the appointed concubine of the Nine Emperors, and she was worried about her, and she had to see herself in person for this matter, and then ask about the length of the matter.

"What about the messenger?" Yu Shu raised his head and asked.

Guiliu said, "Put down the letter and leave."

Yu Shu nodded, folded the letter and put it in his arms, "Go and call Lao Cui and send me home." ”

Guiliu let out an "eh", and when he went down for a short time, he ran up again, carrying a tea-red food box in his hand.

"What is this?" Yu Shu asked while locking the door.

Gui Liu said with a smile: "When the prince came at noon, he ordered the kitchen to stew, and said to bring it back to the girl, so that the little boy could eat it and replenish his body."

Yu Shu's hand holding the lock paused, and smiled knowingly, it was for Xue Rui's heart.
