Covered with frost

In Ruyu's left and right hopes, it was not easy for Master Zhang to finally return home.

Ruyu wondered if Master Bai would be frightened if he learned that he was looking forward to him so much. Thinking about it, I was also amused by my own little absurdity.

Master Bai went to Baifu with a mission. And, of course, along with a whole bunch of gifts that had already been prepared – to be precise, the reparations.

Ruyu here has never been in such a mood as now, ardent expectations, anxious waiting, full of yearning, and deep worry.

She was in her room, but she couldn't stay up anymore and ran outside the gate to wait.

However, it was not possible to wait for a long time.

Ruyu comforted herself, with her father's eloquence, these things are not a problem, don't worry, don't worry, but I never thought about it, the more I said this, the more worried I was in my heart, for fear that something would go wrong.

Finally, Master Bai finally returned home.

Ruyu was anxious and hurriedly greeted her.

Master Bai didn't speak, but he was worried.

Ruyu faintly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Father, how is it, you have something to say." ”

Master Bai just shook his head and sighed, this move made Ruyu even more uneasy.

After a long time, Master Bai finally opened his mouth, he looked at Ruyu, and said slowly: "Yu'er, don't blame your father, you have said everything for your father, but who knows that this Zhang Yiqian has already identified you, as a father, and there is nothing you can do for your father." ”

"What? Father, what did you say? What does Zhang Yiqian mean that he has already identified me? Where does this begin? That Zhang Yiqian and I have never met, how can he recognize me, how is this possible? Ruyu's face was full of disbelief.

"He's seen you, and not so long ago." Master Bai said with certainty.

"Why, I rarely go out lately, and in my memory, I have never seen a son surnamed Zhang." Ruyu said, her face flushed with anxiety.

"I thought it was strange at first, but according to Master Zhang, Zhang Yiqian met you at the 'Hu Ji Jewelry Store', and he fell in love with you at first sight."

"Hu Kee Jewelry Store?" Ruyu frowned slightly, "Could it be that the son who paid for me that day was Zhang Yiqian?" ”

"He's paying for you?" Master Bai was a little surprised and asked eagerly.

"But isn't that person Shangguan Gongzi, how can it be Zhang Yiqian?" Ruyu was puzzled.

"Yu'er, in this way, do you know Shangguan Gongzi?" Old Man Bai asked.

"I don't know Shangguan Gongzi, but Shijie knows, I described the appearance of the son I met to Shijie that day, Shijie said that it is very likely to be Shangguan Gongzi, how can this become Zhang Gongzi again?"

"Is the Shangguan Gongzi you are talking about Shangguan Yun?" Old Man Bai asked.

Ruyu nodded.

"This Shangguan Yun is Zhang Yiqian's cousin, maybe Shijie misjudged." Master Bai said.

What the? Shangguan Yun is Zhang Yiqian's cousin? What's the situation?

It turned out that Zhang Yiqian and Shangguan Gongzi were cousins, and Zhang Yiqian's mother and Shangguan Yun's mother were siblings, that is, Zhang Yiqian and Shangguan Yun had a common grandparents. It is said that their grandfather, Master Mu, was also a well-known big family in the town at that time. However, Master Mu has no children under his knees, only two daughters, the eldest is Zhang Yiqian's mother Mu Jingci, and the second is Shangguan Yun's mother Mu Jingzi, the two are twins and look quite similar, if they are not familiar with people, they often mistakenly.

And Zhang Yiqian and Shangguan Yun are the same age, they are both about the same height and weight, and what is even more coincidental is that the two are somewhat similar in appearance, no wonder Bai Shijie will admit his mistake. As for the jade pendant, the two of them have had a piece since they were children, and they were all given by Master Namu, which is not surprising.

Bai Ruyu fell into an unprecedented confusion, she didn't expect such a coincidence in this world, it turned out that the "fiancée" mentioned by the son that day was actually herself, but she didn't know it, now thinking about it, it's really ridiculous.

It's just that she still doesn't know anything, so she continued to ask Master Bai, "How did Zhang Yiqian know that the woman he met that day was me, did he recognize me at that time, so why didn't he tell me?" ”

"He didn't know that you were her fiancée at the time, but when he returned to Zhang's mansion and described your appearance and characteristics, the Zhang family immediately knew that the girl was you."

"Are they so sure? Can it be concluded based on physiognomy characteristics? Aren't they afraid to admit their mistakes? Ruyu couldn't believe it.

"You look like your mother, Master Zhang, I and Yu Bing are old acquaintances, how could he not recognize you?"

It is said that there are really few beautiful women like Bai Ruyu in the town, and those who have seen her only need to inquire a little to find out whose girl it is. And if you want to say that a woman who looks like her, there is no second person except Bai Rubing. But on closer inspection, the sisters have their own characteristics and are not very similar. Compared with Bai Rubing, Ruyu looks more similar to Lin Bingyu, and even the position of the beauty mole on her forehead is exactly the same.

"It's also a bit dramatic, Zhang Yiqian was a little unhappy about the marriage contract between Zhang Bai and the two families at first, but when he knew that his fiancée was you, he was unusual, and he only hoped to marry you as soon as possible." Master Bai continued.

At this time, Bai Ruyu was already full of sorrow, speaking of which Zhang Yiqian is also dignified, handsome son, and good character, good charity, helpful, such a man must be the prince charming that many girls dream of, but he already has a crush, how can this be good?

How could Master Bai not know Ruyu's thoughts, he said with a face full of embarrassment, "Yu'er, it's not that your father doesn't help you, it's just that right now, the Zhang family's father and son are very blue-eyed towards you, and Zhang Yiqian himself is even more in love with you. ”

"Father, I ......" Ruyu understood something in her heart, she was reluctant to accept this fact for a while, but she didn't know how to express her position, and she couldn't help but tears falling down.

Master Bai didn't know how to comfort Ruyu, so he could only say, "Yu'er, I'm sorry for you for my father, but there are many things in life that are unsatisfactory, and marriage events have always been involuntarily and involuntarily." ”

Old Man Bai said, sighing. In fact, Ruyu is not the only one who is not responsible for the marriage event, and why didn't Master Bai suffer from it?

Now, it seems that the road of repentance is no longer feasible.

Bai Ruyu was at a loss for a while, and she was confused.

The stakes are so high, Rubing doesn't know what to do, so he can only hope for Ling Feng.

When Ling Feng got the news, he had always been calm and had no idea for a while.

He hesitated to tell Chasing Wind about it, and Chasing Wind suddenly felt a bolt from the blue.

I was happily preparing to marry a beautiful woman before, but in a blink of an eye, there was a change, and this change was too fast for people to have time to do psychological construction.

The beautiful woman who once dreamed of spending this life with herself is now really going to marry someone else, how can this scene not be sad.

Ling Feng comforted Chasing Feng, "Big brother, don't be too sad first, why don't we call Rubing and Ruyu out together to discuss countermeasures, there are many people and many ideas, and we can always come up with a solution." ”

Chasing the wind hurriedly agreed.

The four finally met.

However, everyone sat together for a long time, and no one knew what to say.

After a long silence, Ling Feng opened his mouth first.

Ling Feng said, "Big brother, otherwise, you can take Ruyu to elope for the time being, and then make plans for the rest." ”

Although Ruyu was surprised, she did not object, she was a little shy, but with a little expectation, she looked straight at the chasing wind.

Ling Feng and Rubing also waited for Chasing Wind to make a statement.

Chasing the wind was silent for a long time, and finally looked embarrassed, "I have a public office, is it really good to do this?" ”

Rubing was a little anxious: "When is it, if you are still in public office or not, the current things are burning your eyebrows." ”

Chasing the wind's face was full of hesitation, not daring to face everyone's gaze.

"Big brother, you have something to say, is it in your heart, is my sister not as good as your errand?" Rubing said anxiously.

Chasing the wind still has no opening.

Ruyu's heart was covered with a layer of frost, "Don't embarrass Brother Yin, don't say that he is a person with public office, elopement is not good to hear." I am the eldest lady of the Bai family, how can I do such an outrageous thing? ”

Rubing hurriedly said, "Ling Feng, then you hurry up and think of another way." ”

Without waiting for Ling Feng to speak, Ruyu said, "I'm tired, I'll go back first." ”

Rubing called Sister a few times, but Ruyu didn't respond and left without looking back.

Chasing Feng felt even more sad in his heart, his face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word.

Rubing helplessly tugged at Ling Feng's sleeve, "Ling Feng, what are we going to do?" ”

Ling Feng looked at Rufeng for a while, and looked at Chasing Wind for a while, not knowing how to answer.

The three fell silent for a long time.

Ruyu on the other side went home alone and sat alone for a long, long time.

Ruyu thought a lot.

She could see Chasing Wind's sadness and understand his difficulties, but his behavior still stabbed her deeply.

She has a daughter's family, and she can put down her reputation, but in his heart, it seems that he cares more about his errands.

Perhaps, in his heart, she is not so important.

Speaking of which, they have never crossed paths too much, so how can they talk about too deep feelings? The so-called good feelings may be just a whim.

That being the case, why should he lose his morality, embarrass his father, and disgrace his family for such a person who doesn't care about him?

So, try to let go?

Speaking of which the Zhang family is really resolute, not long after, the master of the Zhang family took Zhang Yiqian to officially come to the door to ask for relatives.

It's no wonder how many people in the whole town admire Ruyu and salivate, how can just a nominal "marriage contract" make Zhang's mansion feel at ease?

The safest way, of course, is to marry Ruyu as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night.

This father and son of the Zhang family came happily on the wind.

Zhang's mansion is worthy of being a big family, and there are so many gifts that they can't even pile up in the hall, so many of them have to be placed in the courtyard.

When Zhang Yiqian saw Ruyu, his excitement was about to overflow.

"Ruyu, I really didn't expect it to be you, you say, are we very fateful." Zhang Yiqian said, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze.

Ruyu didn't know what it was like in her heart, but she tried to force a smile on her face.

Zhang Yiqian took out a box of things, "Ruyu, do you remember this, the gift I bought for my fiancée that day - I didn't expect my fiancée to be you - I knew it was you, I should have bought the whole store and gave it to you that day." ”

Zhang Yiqian said, and handed the thing to Ruyu with one hand.

Ruyu didn't answer, "Gongzi Zhang, the money I owed you that day has not been returned, how can I accept your gifts now?" ”

"If you and I still talk about money, won't it hurt our feelings? This gift is not only a gift for me to my fiancée, but also a witness for us, it has witnessed the first meeting between the two of us, witnessed our meeting, I am just giving it to the person who should give it, how can you not accept it? ”

Ruyu looked at Zhang Yiqian in embarrassment, and then looked back at Master Bai's eyes, but had no choice but to accept it.

Ruyu smiled bitterly in her heart, if she hadn't met him in the jewelry store that day, would everything be different?

A favor owed to him back then, and now he has to pay back his whole life, isn't it ridiculous?

Ruyu's eyes swept over Zhang Yiqian, and he looked at him - in fact, Zhang Yiqian is very handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and extraordinary instruments - objectively speaking, his appearance is better than chasing the wind, but he is not him after all.

But, at this moment, what else could she do?

The wedding date was soon set.

The wedding day was set ten days later—it was said to be a once-in-a-century day.

Ten days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the wedding.

Ruyu's wedding was very grand.

Hearing that the eldest lady of the Bai family was married, people from all over the country came to see the excitement, and the whole street was surrounded by water.

Ruyu's wedding dress is very beautiful, using the best fabrics and the most expensive silk threads.

Ruyu's red makeup is amazing, so beautiful that people can't speak.

On the day she got married, he also came, and she still saw him across the crowd, and she cried silently in her heart.

His heart was like a knife, but he didn't stop her, he hated his hesitation, hated his lack of responsibility.

Before getting into the sedan chair, she turned her head and glanced at him, and from her eyes, he read nostalgia, reluctance, and resentment.

He bowed his head, not daring to face her.

She immediately turned her head, pulled down the hijab, and got into the sedan chair.

Playing gongs and drums, the sedan chair went on the road.

He began to get flustered, calling her name constantly, however, he couldn't squeeze through the crowd in front of him, and could only watch her get farther and farther away.

"Jade ......"

His voice seemed so pale in the crowd, but she still heard his call, and for a moment, a burst of affection, two lines of tears.

Finally, the sedan chair went away, and the people watching the excitement gradually dispersed, only he, still hesitating in place, muttering, refusing to leave.
