1. Temptation

Ling Feng received the letter with mixed feelings. At the same time, he was also deeply blaming himself, he had been trapped in his personal children's private affairs, and he didn't even notice the intention of chasing the wind at all, but for the sake of prudence, he still decided to test the chasing wind first.

Ling Feng finds Chasing Wind.

"Big brother." Ling Feng screamed, but the expression on his face was unusual.

Chasing Feng was full of puzzlement when he saw Ling Feng's expression.

"Ling Feng, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Big brother, Rufeng has a letter again."

"Really? It's a good thing to write like the wind, what does the letter say? "Chasing the wind is happy.

"Big brother, forgive little brother for being reckless, I want to ask you, what do you think of Miss Ruyu?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden, what's wrong with this?" At the mention of Ruyu's name, chasing the wind was nervous.

Ling Feng sensed Chasing Feng's nervousness, and continued to ask, "I just want to ask what you think of Miss Ruyu, Miss Ruyu is also Rufeng's own sister no matter how she says." ”

Hearing this, Chaifeng relaxed his vigilance, "Miss Ruyu, people are ice carvings and jade sculptures, beautiful and vulgar, temperament is graceful and lovely, gentle and virtuous, ......"

The words of praise of chasing the wind were endless, and Ling Feng's heart suddenly understood a little.

"Big brother, I want to ask you, do you have any love for Miss Ruyu?" At this moment, Ling Feng simply asked straight to the point.

Chasing Feng looked at Ling Feng with wide eyes: "You...... Where and how do you start? ”

Ling Feng didn't want to go around in circles: "You tell me directly, if there is any." ”

Although Chasing Feng is rough by nature, he is a shy person in his bones, and he hurriedly denied it, "Who said, there is no such thing, there is no such thing." ”

"In that case, the eldest brother is not interested in Miss Ruyu."

"Miss Ruyu Jin Zhi Yuye, how dare you be delusional about her, I have never thought about her, never." Chasing the wind said with a red face.

"So, you don't care about Miss Ruyu's marriage?"

"What? You said Miss Ruyu wants to get married? Who are you marrying? When to get married? "Chasing the wind was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

"Don't you have no ideas about other people, why do you care so much?" Ling Feng said this deliberately, and took a cup of tea in his hand.

"I ...... What the hell is going on, you tell me quickly, tell me quickly. Chasing the wind grabbed Ling Feng and almost didn't pull him out of a single problem.

"Okay, okay, big brother, you sit down first, and listen to me tell you slowly." At this time, Ling Feng had fully understood Chasing Feng's intentions, and since he knew that he was shy by nature, he no longer forced him to explain his words, and told Chasing Wind exactly what happened as jade.

After listening to the wind, he lost his mind for a while.

If Ruyu really marries someone else, this will inevitably become a regret in his life, but what should he do at this time, what can he do?

Ling Feng saw Chasing Feng who was full of worries, and comforted him: "Big brother, don't worry, things haven't come to that point yet, and now there is still room for change, Rufeng and I will help you." ”

"But what do you think I'm going to do?"

"So far, we can only hurry up to show our hearts to the Bai family, and we will come to the door to propose to Master Bai on a certain day."

"Door-to-door propose? Will Master Bai agree? Isn't it morals to have someone else's marriage contract in advance? ”

"It's all going to happen, what morality are you still moral? It's impossible to say whether Master Bai will agree, but at least Miss Ruyu's heart is towards you, and we still have a few chances of winning. ”

"Miss Ruyu's heart is towards me? Is this true? ”

"It's true, Rufeng made it very clear in the letter, big brother, you don't have to doubt it anymore."

"What about you and Rufeng?"

"There are priorities, and now it is the matter of you and Miss Ruyu, so let's put it off for the time being."

Chasing Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, then agreed with Ling Feng's statement.

2. Adventures on the streets

On the other side, Rufeng accompanied Ruyu to explain everything to Master Bai.

Contrary to the expectations of the two, Master Bai was not much surprised after hearing this, but said something to Ruyu seriously.

"Yu'er, I'll tell you the truth, I've always liked this kid Chasing the Wind, in fact, I also had the intention of marrying you to him before."

When Ruyu heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"However, after all, we have a marriage contract with the Zhang family in advance, and now even if we want to cancel it, it is not up to our family to have the final say."

Ruyu's heart hung again.

"Now, I can only go to Zhang's Mansion to discuss with Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang to see if they agree to cancel the previous agreement."

Ruyu looked at her father, her heart full of anticipation and gratitude.

Ruyu and Rufeng went back to their rooms.

The anxiety in Ruyu's heart was unprecedented. But at this time, what else can she do but wait?

For several days, Master Bai did not move. And the chasing wind on the other side is nowhere to be seen.

Ruyu's heart is tormented.

It's a coincidence, it's not that Mr. Bai is procrastinating, but that Mr. Zhang is not in the house these days, and Mr. Bai is also sincere, and even the gifts for reparation are all prepared, for the happiness of his daughter, he is not afraid of showing his old face, not afraid of offending his confidants and friends, and he can't care about any promises. As long as the Zhang family agrees to dissolve the marriage, he is not afraid of being wronged.

On the other side, Chasing the wind is busy preparing the bride price for the marriage proposal, busy looking for a good matchmaker, and is busy all day long.

Ruyu was really uncomfortable staying alone in the house, so she decided to go out for a walk.

Rufeng wanted to accompany her, but she refused, so she wanted to go alone, so she didn't even bring a maid with her, and went out alone.

Ruyu didn't know where to go, so she walked around and came to a jewelry store.

This is the most famous jewelry store in town, and the jewelry is famous for its sophistication.

Originally, Ruyu didn't plan to buy anything, and she didn't want to be attracted by a jade hairpin with fine workmanship.

"Miss has a good eye, this is the most expensive jade hairpin in our store, Miss is born so beautiful, it must look good when you wear it." The boss is eloquent.

Without much thought, Ruyu decided to buy it, and when she rummaged through her pocket, she found that she didn't have any money. It's no wonder, usually the money is put on the maid, but today when I came out alone, and I was in a hurry, it was normal to forget to take the silver.

Ruyu was embarrassed for a while, so she had to say this to the boss; "Boss, can you help me keep this hairpin first, and then buy it back when I get home and get the silver, I was in too much of a hurry when I went out, and I forgot to bring the money."

The boss smiled: "I don't know where the young lady's family lives, is it far away from the store?" If it's delayed for too long, it's hard to say, you didn't pay the deposit, and if other customers take a fancy to it during this period, I have no reason not to sell to others. ”

Ruyu didn't know how to answer, and was in a dilemma.

At this time, a young man came over, "Boss, how much is this, I'll pay for this young lady." ”

Ruyu looked up and saw a personable son, with a long figure and a tall posture, who seemed to be almost the same age as herself.

Ruyu didn't expect that a person she didn't know would want to help herself pay, so she hurriedly stopped it: "This son, you and I don't know each other, how can this be, absolutely not." ”

"Why not, it is fate that you and I can meet here," the young man said, and lit up the jewelry box in his hand, "You see, my fiancée and I have never met, and I didn't come to buy a gift for her, since you like this jade hairpin so much, I will give it to you." ”

"Childe, don't be kidding, how can I compare with your fiancée, if you say it and be gossiped about, you must not do it." Ruyu was anxious and curious, this person and his fiancée had never met, but it was not surprising to think that he also had a so-called "fiancé" who had never met.

The young man laughed, and he also felt that what he said just now was a little inappropriate, "I was rude just now, I really can't do it, even if I borrow this money from you, you can pay me back when you have the opportunity in the future." After speaking, he asked the price and gave the money, so that Ruyu had no time to stop it.

Ruyu was about to ask the young man his name and where he lived, so that he could repay the money in the future, when suddenly, a younger man hurriedly ran in: "Young master, why did you come here, Madame, you are in a hurry, let me take you home quickly." With that, he pulled the young man out.

Bai Ruyu hurriedly followed, wanting to ask for his name and address.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the young man had already gotten into the carriage and galloped away.

Ruyu had no choice but to give up, take the butterfly jade hairpin, and prepare to go home.

The boss said to her with a smile: "Miss, the boy just now, I'm afraid it's not for you, Miss, right?" ”

Ruyu looked at the boss in surprise, thinking that you don't scare me, okay, but pretended to be calm and said, "Boss, you misunderstood, that son is a warm-hearted person, didn't you hear him just say that he already has a fiancée?" ”

The boss nodded again and again, "That's it, that's it, it's too much to talk about, don't be surprised, Miss." ”

Ruyu smiled and said no more, but after the boss said this, she was even more uneasy, and she just wanted to find a way to find out the news of the son and return the money.

3. Ask your brother for help

Ruyu returned to the mansion, worried.

On the one hand, she was anxious to inquire about the son, and on the other hand, she was struggling to know where to start.

She thought of Bai Shijie's many friends, and she hoped that he would know a thing or two.

So she came to Bai Shijie's room.

At this time, Bai Shijie was also preoccupied, and he was in a trance for a while, and he actually regarded Ruyu as the wind.

"Rufeng, why are you here?"

"Shijie, what's wrong with you, I'm your sister Ruyu."

Shijie hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his hands, embarrassed for a moment.

Ruyu, how could she not know Bai Shijie's mood, and suddenly felt a trace of pain in her heart, thinking why the Bai family was so unsmooth emotionally, she was like this, Shijie was like this, and Rufeng was like this. Of course, at this time, she didn't know about Rufeng and Ling Feng, thinking that Rufeng, like Bai Shijie, was also suffering - although Rufeng seemed to be fine, Ruyu always felt that she was pretending to be strong.

Ruyu didn't know how to comfort Shijie, and she had said too many words of comfort before, so she didn't know how to organize her language. She thought it would be better to leave everything to time, he would figure it out one day, after all, it was hard to disobey God's will. Ruyu could only look at Bai Shijie silently, with sympathy and distress in her eyes.

But Shijie opened his mouth first, "Sister, do you have something to do with me?" ”

At this moment, Ruyu didn't go around in circles, so she told Bai Shijie what happened in the jewelry store from beginning to end.

"Shijie, you know a lot of people, think about it carefully, do you know such a son?"

Bai Shijie thought for a moment and said: "I think of a person, that is, the third son of the Shangguan family, his height and body shape are very similar to the young man you described, and the purple jade pendant on the waist of the young man you said, as far as I know, it is rare to have such a precious jade pendant, but Shangguan Gongzi has had such a jade pendant since he was a child-it's just that I heard that he went to visit his teacher in other places a few days ago, and it took ten days and half a month to come back, didn't he come back early?" ”

"Then you hurry up and help me inquire to see if it's him, if so, I have to pay back the money quickly."

"Sister, don't worry, I'll go and investigate." With that, Bai Shijieli went out of the door.

Ruyu looked at Shijie's back and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was not in a hurry to go back to the room, so she waited for him to come back in Bai Shijie's room.

Not long after, Bai Shijie came back in a hurry.

Bai Ruyu hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"I just went to inquire, Shangguan Gongzi did come back early, and he returned to the house yesterday evening."

Ruyu was overjoyed, "Nine times out of ten, it's him, it's better like this, Shijie, you can accompany me to Shangguan Mansion now, if it's really him, I'll return the money." ”

Shijie said: "Coincidentally, Shangguan Gongzi is no longer in the house at this time. ”

Ruyu asked, "Where did he go again?" ”

"He was originally going to see his mentor, but on the way, he found that he had forgotten important gifts at home, so he hurried back to pick them up, bought some other gifts, and then went back on the road again."

Ruyu thought that the son he met was also in a hurry, and the more he listened, the more he looked like Shangguan Gongzi, but at that time he said that he was buying a gift for his fiancée, could it be that his fiancée was the daughter of his mentor?

Ruyu didn't think much about it, she just hoped that Shangguan Gongzi would come back as soon as possible, and the feeling of owing money to people was not so good.
