"Zhuo'er, who is this girl?" In the lobby of Yan Mansion, Yan Qingyuan looked at Jin Ruo and asked Xiao Zhuo.

Today, Xiao Zhuo brought a woman to Yan's house, saying that he was going to stay at Yan's house for a few days, originally he didn't care much about things like this, after all, Xiao Zhuo has been wandering the rivers and lakes for a long time, and it is inevitable that there are some friends who need help. But when he saw Jin Ruo's appearance, he had to be cautious, just because Jin Ruo looked too much like the woman in Xiao Zhuo's portrait! At the same time, Yan Qingyuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart: since Xiao Zhuo knew this woman, why did he let Yan Ying look for this woman in the town? And now that Xiao Zhuo has been engaged to Miss Han, this woman came out at this time, if Xiao Zhuo is impulsive, the relationship between Xiao and Han is likely to be ruined!

"Uncle, this girl's surname is Han, it's Zhuo'er......" Before Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, Jin Ruo had already stepped forward and said: "It's better for me to say it myself, the little girl's surname is Han, a person from the capital, come here...... Looking for someone, so I want to stay here for a few days, and ask Master Yan to take care of it for a while! After Jin Ruo finished speaking, he saluted Yan Qingyuan again, but it was not a gift of great fortune from an ordinary daughter's family, but a gift of fists from people in the rivers and lakes.

"People from the capital? I don't know who the girl is looking for, Yan has lived here for a long time, maybe she can help one or two. Yan Qingyuan didn't care much about Jin Ruo's etiquette, but after listening to Jin Ruo's words, his heart finally settled. Although Jin Ruo did not directly identify herself, her words revealed clues everywhere, if the woman in front of her was really Miss Han, then the person she was looking for was probably only Xiao Zhuo!

"I'm looking for ...... A scholar! Jin Ruo paused, as if he was thinking about how to phrase it, "Master Yan doesn't know, I wasn't at home a few days ago, my father set a family affair for me, and the other party is actually a scholar, so I can't agree, isn't there a saying that 'tiger girls don't marry dogs'!" ”

"Ahem!" In Jin Ruo's words, there is generally no mistake in the origin of the identity, and it is all according to the previous discussion, but the latter sentence, Xiao Zhuo had to remind her when she heard it.

"Anyway, when I go back, all I heard was what my family said about how talented and handsome the man was." When Jin Ruo said this, he looked at Xiao Zhuo beside him, turned around and continued: "But I haven't seen it, what's the use of just looking good, even I can't beat it, why should I marry him!" Master Yan, you said yes, right? ”

"Ahem!" Yan Qingyuan stood up awkwardly, he was probably sure that Jin Ruo was the eldest lady of the Han family now, so it was not good to sit and talk anymore. And he suddenly felt that he seemed to be redundant now, but after all, he was the head of the Yan family, and it was not appropriate to leave, so he had to let Xiao Zhuo take Jinruo out as soon as possible.

"Then I don't know if the person Miss Han is looking for has been found? Are you still satisfied? Yan Qingyuan looked at Xiao Zhuo and walked over slowly.

"Found it! Man! …… Not bad! I'll go back and tell my father in a few days, but I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be here, so I wanted to stay here for a few more days. Jin Ruo looked at Yan Qingyuan, for fear that he wouldn't believe it. However, Yan Qingyuan just looked at Xiao Zhuo, and when he saw Xiao Zhuo nodding slightly, he said, "Zhuo'er, since Miss Han and you are old acquaintances, then you can take Miss Han to the backyard to see where you live!" ”

"Thank you Master Yan for your care!"

"Yes, uncle! Zhuo'er, let's go! ”

Since Yan Qingyuan had agreed, Xiao Zhuo also took Jinruo to find a place to live. In fact, there is nothing to choose, where to live Xiao Zhuo has already chosen, and let Chang Bo clean up. But when the two of them walked away, Mrs. Yan got up and walked towards Yan Qingyuan.

"Master, is this woman really Miss Han? That's too similar, right? How could Miss Han be so uncourteous? ”

"Madame! You don't understand this, do you? Your Xiao family has been passed down from generation to generation, and the family style has always been elegant and courteous, and most of the heirs are mainly literary, supplemented by martial arts. The Han family is based on martial arts, and the juniors are more sophisticated, so it is not surprising that this woman is a little arrogant. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to chase after her alone! As for whether she is Miss Han? Although you and I have never seen each other, since Zhuo'er nodded and said yes, there must be no mistake, maybe it is really providence! It's just that after Zhuo'er came back this time, it seems that something is different! Yan Qingyuan looked at the disappearing figures of the two, and a trace of sadness appeared on his cheeks between his eyebrows. As far as he knows, Xiao Zhuo always went to the lake to look for paintings a few days ago, but every time he went there without paper and pencils, and came back without paintings.

"Xiao Zhuo, is it really okay for us to lie to your uncle and aunt like this?" On the way to his residence, Jin Ruo asked Xiao Zhuo in a low voice. Since Xiao Zhuo had already arranged a place to live, they didn't have to walk all over the courtyard, they went directly to that courtyard.

"I don't want to! But this matter has to be solved! The old cat is so shrewd, one does not do evil, the other does not show up, Princess Mingxin has not been able to find it for three days, and we can only use the stupid method of luring the snake out of the hole! Xiao Zhuo looked at Jin Ruo, and saw that Jin Ruo was still a little reluctant, and said with relief: "Okay!" Don't worry too much about it, it's not my parents! ”

"Huh?" Jin Ruo frowned, and didn't understand what Xiao Zhuo's words meant for a while.

"Don't worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he took the lead in turning a corner.

"I'm not worried! Even if we get married, you have to be the one who joins us! Jin Ruoxin replied, and hurriedly followed, but heard Xiao Zhuo say: "I'm in the ......" The voice stopped abruptly, and when it sounded again, it had changed its tone, "Cousin, why did you come here?" ”

"Just now, Uncle Chang brought someone to the backyard to clean the room, and after I asked carefully, I learned that there was a distinguished guest who wanted to live in, and I heard that the woman painted by the guest was very similar to the cousin, so I wanted to go to the front hall to see, I didn't want to meet here, cousin, what about Miss Han?"

Yan Ying's voice was not impatient, it was very soft and pleasant, and when Jin Ruo heard her talk about herself, it was not easy to hide anymore, so she stood out generously. The matter between her and Xiao Zhuo, although she is a little sorry for Yan Ying, but fortunately, Xiao Zhuo is not completely engaged to Yan Ying, and it will not ruin Yan Ying's reputation because of this, so she has nothing to face Yan Ying.

"Hello Miss Yan!" Jin Ruo bowed, and Yan Ying also followed suit, "Hello Miss Han!" In the future, if you live in the backyard together, if you are free, Miss Han will have to come and walk more! By the way, what year was Miss Han born? I've been the emperor for six years, I don't know if I should call you a sister or a sister? ”

"I'm the fifth birthday of the emperor, if you don't dislike it, just call me sister." Jin Ruo said with a smile. In fact, she doesn't know anything about the current calendar in the world, and Xiao Zhuo hasn't said this before, but as long as it's bigger than Yan Ying, it's definitely right!

"Oh! Sister Han, your room must have been almost cleaned up, you and your cousin should go over and have a look first! If there's anything wrong, I still have something to ask my father, so I won't accompany you for now. After Yan Ying finished speaking, she bowed and said goodbye. She had heard the conversation between Xiao Zhuo and Jin Ruo just now, although she had her own plans in her heart, but she was just a mortal after all, and she couldn't be in a hurry.

"Miss Yan is really knowledgeable!" Jin Ruo watched Yan Ying leave, and couldn't help but sigh at Xiao Zhuo, and also wanted to see what Xiao Zhuo's attitude towards Yan Ying was now.

"Although the Yan family is not as good as the Xiao family, it is not surprising that they can have a child like their cousin." Xiao Zhuo didn't show too much emotion, but looked back at Jin Ruo, saw that she also turned her head, and added: "Aren't I also a talent, Fengshen is handsome?" ”

After Xiao Zhuo finished saying this, he saw Jin Ruo staring at him with a pair of smart eyes for a long time, and finally slowly came out: "That, what year did the emperor open?" How many years? ”

Xiao Zhuo felt that his thinking had stopped instantly! He thought that Jinruo would make fun of him, but he didn't expect to burst out with such an unrelated sentence. But since Jin Ruo didn't understand, he had to explain to her slowly.

"Kaihuang is the name of the first emperor of this dynasty, a total of twenty years, and there are four years after that, the year name is Renshou, and the year name of His Majesty today is the great cause, and now it is the first year of the great cause."

"Ahh You have used three era names in less than 30 years in the world? For such a long time, back and forth, remember to come over? When Jin Ruo heard this, she couldn't help but sigh a little, but her performance aroused Xiao Zhuo's curiosity.

"Oh! So how do you spirits keep track of the year? ”

"We are much simpler than you, follow the heavenly court and use the celestial calendar, and the celestial calendar is only three epochs now, chaos, flood, and Zhengyin." Jin Ruo saw that he was about to arrive at the place, and it might not be convenient to talk about these things at that time, so he quickly stopped and sat on the cloister.

"And how do you divide your years?" Xiao Zhuo also sat down, but habitually kept a distance from Jinruo.

"I don't know the specifics, I heard the elders say that the gods were born during the Chaos Period, and no one knows how long it lasted, plus there was only language and no writing at that time, so except for the existing ancient gods, everything is impossible to consult. Later, it was the Pangu god who split the heavens and the earth, the end of the chaotic period, and the flood period, and the order between heaven and earth was also established during this period. At that time, the gods and demons fought, the gods and demons were everywhere, almost returning the heavens and the earth to chaos, and the gods and demons finally realized that this heaven and earth were not for them to control, but for them to guard, and a large number of gods and demons sacrificed themselves to prevent the reappearance of chaos. In the later period of the flood famine, the gods gradually fell, and the responsibility of maintaining order was handed over to the immortals who cultivated immortals and attained the Tao, and it was now the Zhengyin period. Jin Ruo moved, sat closer to Xiao Zhuo, and slowly rested his head on Xiao Zhuo's shoulder.

"Jeong-in period? Why did you get such an era name? How many years is Jeong-in now? Although Jin Ruo's actions were not inappropriate in his opinion, after all, it was broad daylight now, Xiao Zhuo looked around nervously, hoping that no one would come.

"Jeong-in 3588! After Nuwa created people, mortals created writing, and many things were recorded, and the era name Zhengyin originated from Taoism. Emperor Fuxi created the way of yin and yang, and divided the day of the year into 12 chen, and later generations of Taoists thought that the son was chaos, ugly was the famine, and Yin was the world, so there was a "life in Yin" said. After the Jade Emperor took charge of the Heavenly Court, he also used this to establish the chronology. Jin Ruo said, his body came closer, and he pulled Xiao Zhuo's arm and hugged it in his arms. In fact, in her heart, she hoped that Xiao Zhuo could open her arms and hold her in her arms, but she also understood, after all, Xiao Zhuo was just a mortal, and it was normal to not be able to put aside those worldly red tape for a while, and it was already very good not to be disgusted with her actions.

"I see, it's long enough!" Xiao Zhuo could naturally feel the touch coming from his arm, but although he knew that Jin Ruo didn't mind what he did, he still didn't dare to make any moves, "You just said that there are still ancient gods now, how many more?" ”

"There shouldn't be many ancient gods left, and if there are, you can't usually see them, unless there is a heaven and earth catastrophe or something. The current Queen Mother of the West, Emperor Ziwei, Yuan Shi Tianzun or something, are not the original gods, but just stay to supervise the heavenly court, after all, immortals are not gods, there is no godhead constraints, one thought is an immortal, one thought is a demon, and it is always good to have someone sitting in the array. Jin Ruo saw that Xiao Zhuo was becoming more and more restrained, and he no longer teased him, so he stood up and changed the topic. By the way, what year was your birthday? ”

"The first year of the emperor." Xiao Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at Jin Ruo, and replied very seriously.

"So small! You don't think I'm old, do you? ”

"Nope! I won't! ”

"Oh, you said! Let's go and see how the room is arranged. ”
