Although Ruan Lu was born in a wealthy family, he was not a man of wine bags and rice bags, that is, he came to control the river, so he had no reason to gag, and he was conscientious every day, even if he was injured on the head, he ran around all day long.

And the rest of the people also knew that he was ruthless and ruthless, and had a ruthless and resolute temperament, so they had to put away their past laziness. And Sun Sheng's people had to quietly observe Ruan Lu, not letting go of his every move, just thinking about finding out the account books as soon as possible.

In the past two days, Ruan Lu's face has become more and more ugly, and even Fushuang has been waiting carefully all day long.

On this day, it was not until the sky was dark that the two of them came back, Fu Shuang walked in front with a sheep's horn lamp to show Ruan Lu the way, and then pushed open the door of the courtyard, but saw a black figure in the courtyard, waist-length long hair was messy by the wind, and it looked like a ghost elf.

It was this barren mountain and wild land, but when I saw Fushuang's feet slipping, he fell down with a bang, and the horn lamp in his hand was also blown out by the cold wind several feet away.

He didn't even get up when he couldn't even get up, but he heard Ruan Lu's voice behind him, "What are you doing?" ”

"I have something to say." Lian Zhi'er's voice was very faint.

Fushuang couldn't help but wonder how His Royal Highness recognized it, what he saw was just a black figure.

There was a touch of stunned on Ruan Lu's face, as if he didn't expect her to come to him, but he quickly regained his cold aura, "I thought you would never set foot in the door of this world for the rest of your life." Since you have something to say, then go into the house with this Shizi, it is frozen three feet here, can it be that this Shizi will also accompany you to freeze here? ”

Lian Zhi'er took a deep breath, only looked at the one who had just gotten up from the ground, and her voice was a little strange, "You don't have to go in, I'll just say a few words to Fushuang and leave." ”

“……”

Under the moonlight, Ruan Lu's face was very ugly. But he saw that his hand under the embroidered robe was clenched tightly, trying his best to restrain something, but he gritted his teeth, didn't say anything, and just brushed his sleeves away.

Fushuang patted the remnant snow on his body, and asked with a puzzled face, "What is the girl looking for me?" ”

As soon as Lian Zhi'er opened her mouth, she was choked by the cold wind, and only coughed, "I was entrusted by Qingqi to come, she was supposed to come in person, but she was dragged by Grandma Sun, so I came over for her." ”

Ruan Lu entered the room, only to feel that there seemed to be a wave of anger in his throat, and he didn't even burn the candle, so he only went to the table and poured a cup of tea.

It was originally a tea brewed in the morning, but now it is cold thoroughly, and when you pour it down in one sip, all the internal organs are cold.

His feet still walked uncontrollably to the window. Intentionally or unintentionally, he looked at the two people in the snow.

When Fu Shuangyi heard that Qingqi was looking for him, he couldn't help but be full of excitement. And he was originally a reckless and unrestrained person, so he actually went up and pulled Lian Zhi'er's sleeve, "If she has something, you just have to tell me." ”

Lian Zhi'er took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve, with a smile on his face, "At this time, Qingqi personally fried sweet potato balls for you, according to the seasoning that the people in the capital are used to, just thinking that you are afraid that you will not be used to the food made by those people when you come here." ”

Ruan Lu under the window saw everything clearly, his eyes became colder and colder, and the teacup in his hand was about to be crushed by him.

But in the snow, the eye-catching woman smiled so gently, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he had forgotten that she could laugh.

I didn't expect her to please a slave like this, and even sent something over, but she ignored herself, could it be that in her eyes, he was not even as good as a minion?

Fushuang only took the oil paper bag, and sniffed it under his nose with a happy face, "I'm tired of Miss Lian'er to send a trip." ”

Lian Zhi'er cleared her throat, "Qingqi wants to come to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, I have your help." ”

Fushuang hurriedly agreed, "If the girl doesn't mention it, I will do it, I originally thought that among all people, only you and Qingqi know the most, and you don't want to come over, so you don't dare to make your own decisions." ”

Although Ruan Lu, who was standing under the window, couldn't hear what the two were saying, but looking at the intimate appearance, he sneered, and only turned around and sat on the beauty, closing his eyes, not knowing whether he was awake or asleep.

After a long time, I heard a "squeak" push on the door, and Fushuang opened the door and came in.

When he saw that the lights in the house were extinguished, he hurriedly took out the fire fold and lit most of the candles, and the pale yellow candlelight illuminated the room with a little warmth, and even Fushuang's mood was much better, and he couldn't help humming a little song.

When he walked into the inner room with the lampstand, he saw Ruan Lu, who was originally leaning on the couch, opened his eyes sharply, and the light of the fire candle condensed in his eyes in an instant, and Fushuang suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and he just wanted to run away.

"What good things happened?" Ruan Lu's faint voice came.

"What good things are there for slaves, it doesn't mean that His Royal Highness the Prince is sheltering." Fushuang smiled, but when he thought of Qingqi, he still couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and he didn't notice Ruan Lu's extremely gloomy face at this time.

"This son is hungry!" Ruan Lu's gaze intentionally or unintentionally aimed at his bulging cuffs, and from a long distance, he seemed to smell the aroma of the food.

Fushuang then remembered that in the past two days, Ruan Lu didn't know who he was angry with, plus the injury on his head, he couldn't even eat a bowl of each meal, and today he rarely knew that he was hungry, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly said. "The minion will tell the people in the kitchen to go and prepare some more food for you."

Ruan Lu's faint voice came from his ears, "When I bring it over, my son will starve to death." ”

How can you be hungry like this, Fushuang was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Then the slave will go and see if there are any ready-made ones in the kitchen, and bring them to you immediately!" ”

"You will be more and more erranded, let this son eat the rest of others!"

Fushuang didn't know how to serve this little ancestor for a while, but suddenly remembered that he still had food hidden in his sleeve, which Qingqi personally made for him, he was really reluctant, but he still licked his lips, and said a little helplessly, "The slave has a sweet potato pill here, you should pad your stomach first." ”

"Take it!" Ruan Lu's face was full of disgust, "Just make do with some food." ”

Fushuang sent it with a reluctant face, and personally opened the oil paper package, but saw that Huang Chengcheng's dozen croquettes were not as good as those made by the chef of the eldest princess's mansion, but they still looked a little good.

Ruan Lu stretched out his bony fingers, pinched one, and put it in his mouth, only to feel a little tired, and it was as unpalatable as he thought.

"What did she come to you for?" Ruan Lu took another one in his hand.

"What can be done, it's just a matter of your choice of maids." Fushuang looked at the pills that he had eaten, and felt a lot of heartache, "This errand is what everyone wants with their heads." Naturally, the minions went through the back door. ”

Ruan Lu was stunned, he never thought that she would come to the door to ask for this errand, according to her temperament, I was afraid that she would have to avoid him like a snake and scorpion in the future.

"Why don't you ask for this son, but go to you?" Ruan Lu frowned slightly, his face full of puzzlement.

"You are the son of the world, who dares to pull down your face and beg with you." Fushuang's face was clear, "Besides, who doesn't know that you are the most iron-faced and selfless person, to put it mildly, you don't often brush the face of the eldest princess." ”

"Yes." Ruan Lu put the last pill in his mouth, and he felt that he was not so tired, and it was rare that the boredom in his heart for two days had dissipated most of it.

Fushuang looked at the clean oiled paper bag, and then he was sure that his son was really hungry, and hurriedly said, "The slave will go and prepare a meal for you." ”

"No need." Ruan Lu took out a brocade and wiped his fingers, "I'm not hungry." ”

————————

When it was over, there was a howling wind outside, and it was only blowing in the dark, and it became like a hell.

The wound on Zhao Man's hand hurt heartbreakingly again, so he had to heat the hot wine on the stove, and then lean on the bed and pour it indiscriminately.

At this time, I heard a knock on the door outside, and the force was very light, like a woman knocking on it. He only thought it was Lian Zhi'er or Qingqi, he had been waiting for them for a day, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and staggered to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Zhenying standing outside the door. I didn't have time to be surprised, so I invited her in.

"I said why my eyelids kept jumping just now, but it was the girl who came." He stared at Zhen Ying with a squint, almost salivating, "It's really a rare guest, please ...... quickly."

"Today, I saw this Fushuang go to find Grandma Sun, and I only said that His Royal Highness the Prince asked Qingqi to be his maid." Zhenying's little face turned pale with anger, but she gritted her teeth stubbornly, "She's really an eyesore, how about you help me get rid of her?" ”

Zhenying clearly knows that Zhao Mane is a promiscuous person, full of fancy intestines, but he is Sun Sheng's henchman, if you want to get rid of the eye-catching Qingqi, Zhao Mane is the most suitable person.

"It's just a wild girl in the north cool, and it's not a climate." Zhao Mane smiled, reached out and grabbed a handful of precious green silk, and only put it under his nose and sniffed it. "How is the girl going to thank me?"

Listening to his disgusting voice, Zhen got goosebumps all over her body, and pulled her hair out of his hand, but she only wanted the scissors to cut it off immediately.

Then she took out a piece of jade from her bosom and threw it into his arms, "This is your reward, if that cheap girl's life is lost another day, I will ask my grandfather to send you some treasures." ”

Zhao Mane was full of bad water in his stomach, and he was thinking about dirty things, but he was quickly attracted by the piece of jade in his arms.

"Where did this come from? It doesn't look like an ordinary person's thing? Zhao Mane asked carefully as he asked.

"It's Qingqi's girl's thing, I got it." After all, this piece of jade was damaged, and it was not worth anything in her eyes.

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Zhao Mane would do something that exceeded the rules, so she left in a hurry.

After she left, Zhao Mane lit a few more lamps, and took the jade over to check it carefully, and sure enough, after a while, she felt that there was a burst of warmth coming from the palm of her hand, but she couldn't help but think of something, and only patted her head, "Ouch, my ancestor, isn't this Shi Gongzi's jade pendant?" ”

In the past, he followed Sun Sheng back to Beijing to report on his work, and accidentally saw Shi Ran's jade pendant, and he was surprised that there was such a rare thing in the world.

Sun Sheng also quietly told him that the origin of this piece of jade was actually given by the first emperor himself when Ruan Lu was the new champion. Zhao Mane also forgot which vassal land sent the treasure.

But I only heard that the first emperor saw Shi Dye, and he saw that he was extraordinary, and the brilliance of the whole body made the first emperor even more surprised, so he personally brought the jade pendant and said to the ministers, "This son is extraordinary, and he will be a dragon foal and phoenix chick in the future, a powerful figure in the world." ”

As soon as the sky was bright, he hurriedly went to show the jade pendant to Sun Sheng.

Sun Sheng was also dumbfounded. After all, what happened to the dyed stuff could have appeared in this poor and remote place.

However, after he looked at it carefully a few times, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "This jade pendant is not Shi Gongzi's piece, Shi Gongzi's piece is engraved with his name in the left corner, and this one is not." ”

"I don't know who made such a fake thing, but when I saw it, it looked like the real thing, and even my subordinates were shocked when they saw it."

Sun Sheng sneered, "At the beginning, Ruan Lu and Shi Gongzi participated in the palace examination in the same year, so Shi Ran was pretentious. There was no dust, I just thought that I must be a champion, but unexpectedly I was defeated in the hands of Shi Ran. The most displeasing was the eldest princess, seeing that Shi had dyed this jade pendant, she also ordered someone to make up the remaining corners and make an identical piece. ”

"Then this must be Ruan Lu's, but I have never seen him wear it."

"How could he ask for this thing with such a temperament, and throw it away." Sun Sheng's eyes suddenly became gloomy, "Since you said that he could give this thing to that Qingqi, he must really have a personal relationship with that Qingqi, no wonder he has locked up Qingqi for no reason in the past few days, but I am afraid that it is a secret Chen Cang, and he sings happily every day." ”

Zhao Mane sneered, "I thought it was a person who didn't sit still, but I didn't expect it to be just a thief of chickens and dogs, and he didn't wipe his mouth clean, and he still left something in love, but it didn't let us catch the handle." ”

Sun Sheng's face showed a solemn expression, "We searched him and didn't see our account books, but this girl hid it for her, we have to think of getting her down in the future, and we will ask in the future." ”

This is exactly what Zhao Mane wants, and he can't help but be more and more happy.

————————

At noon on the second day, Mama Sun brought four women to Ruan Lu.

saw Ruan Lu in front of the table, holding a wolf in his hand, holding a pen and frowning and writing something. His long black hair was half loose, but it lacked some of the fierceness of the past, and several women couldn't help but blush, overjoyed.

He didn't lift his eyes, but the women were already holding their breath.

"Your Royal Highness, these are the few women who have just been selected, they were all from famous families before they were convicted, and they are all people who do things properly." Mama Sun's face was full of flattery.

After a long time, Ruan Lu slowly raised his head, but he never saw the person he wanted to see the most.

Among the four low-eyed women, in addition to Qingqi and Zhenying, there are also Shan Qiao and a woman named Su Ke.

That Su Ke is the most stammering. In the past, it was very flattering and cherished, and thus gained a lot of benefits. Now in order to get this errand, he has spent all his bribes to Sun Mama, which is satisfactory.

Ruan Lu's face turned cold all of a sudden, but he only said stiffly, "All retreat." ”

Grandma Sun was embarrassed, so she had to take the four women out and go to the errand she was instructed to do every day.

After they left, Fu Shuang, who was standing on the side, hurriedly leaned over and said in a tentative tone, "His Royal Highness the Prince seems to be unhappy, but do you think these people are unhappy?" ”

"You took her things, why didn't you help her?" Ruan Lu's cold gaze fell on his face, with a bit of anger and reproach.

"The slave is wronged," Fushuang wrenched his fingers and counted in a low voice, "Miss Lian'er said that she didn't want to be a maid, and she also brought Qingqi in." The slave can listen to it like a holy decree, and he will not dare to slack off for a moment. ”

"Sure enough, it's a stupid woman." Ruan Lu's voice was as light as water, without any waves, "Let them prepare the meal." ”

In the evening, the maidservants really made a table full of delicacies, everything from all over the world, and it must have taken a lot of effort to prepare these in this bitter cold place.

Ruan Lu took the bamboo chopsticks, his narrow eyes only glanced at it, and finally landed on a dish of tofu stuffed, and his voice became cold, "Who made this tofu?" ”

In the jealous eyes of the others, Su Ke hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "It was the slave who did it." ”

"This Shizi hates this dish the most, so you made it." Ruan Lu threw down the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes were cold, "You don't have to come to serve in the future." ”

Su Ke, who was still full of joy at the right time, was struck by lightning, but he looked at Ruan Lu's cold eyes and couldn't even say words begging for mercy.

Fushuang was also dumbfounded on the side, even he didn't know when his master hated this dish? I used to like it very much?!

And at this moment, I heard Ruan Lu's cold voice coming, "Ask Grandma Sun to lead people away, and choose another one to come in." ”

Fushuang is no matter how confused people are, they also understand that they dare to sing such a play here just to get Lian Zhi'er in, so they are angry and laughing, and they don't dare to come out, so they only snort for a while.

"The slave thinks that Grandma Sun's choice is not good, why don't you choose it yourself?" Since Fushuang had already understood what he meant, he naturally had a little confidence in speaking, so he called the rest of the women to compare and see who had good cooking skills, so he stayed, how about it? ”

"What are you doing with all this trouble?" Ruan Lu snorted coldly, "That's it, since you want to do this, just order it to go down." ”

Fushuang only felt extremely depressed, obviously to please him, but he was left behind.

And at this moment, Qingqi, who was only watching the show on the side, stood up, "Your Royal Highness, Lian'er will cook a few Beiliang dishes, if you want to eat, why don't you send her to serve you?" ”

She thought that Ruan Lu treated her differently from others, and she couldn't help but be spoiled and coquettish, and said such things that exceeded the rules.

"Oh? Is it? Ruan Lu looked at her, "That son of the world is going to see her ability." ”
