23. Like a jade heart

Such as jade's heart

Day 2.

Early in the morning, Ruyu took Rufeng to the hall to greet her parents.

Bai Shijie was already sitting there early.

This time, inevitably, Rufeng and Shijie met.

is in the same Bai Mansion, and they are both children of the Bai family, and it is only a matter of time before they meet.

Yesterday, Master Bai was thinking about the public, but now he doesn't have so many scruples.

Although the two of them were mentally prepared, the scene was still embarrassing.

Madam Bai understood, got up and walked to Rufeng's side, and took Rufeng's hand, "Bing'er, come and see your brother." ”

Rufeng then greeted Bai Shijie, "Brother, Rufeng is polite." "But there are mixed tastes in my heart.

Although her real name Rubing has been restored, the name Rufeng has been used for more than ten years, and she really can't change it all of a sudden - but these are small things, and everyone doesn't care.

Bai Shijie didn't know what it was like in his heart, but he could only agree, "My sister is polite." ”

The three of them sat down separately, and the family sat together, and everything seemed so peaceful.

However, Bai Shijie couldn't help but keep staring at Rufeng, and it was unnatural to see her.

Zi'er behind Shijie saw that Shijie was still so affectionate to Rufeng, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, but she still had to hide her emotions carefully, and her heart was tormented.

"Bing'er, are you still used to your room?" Madame Bai asked with concern.

"Everything is fine, thank you mother for your concern." Rufeng replied politely.

In view of the fact that Ruyu has been called Mrs. Bai's mother since she was a child, Rufeng has also been called by Ruyu since she entered the house, although in her heart, only Lin Yubing is her mother.

At this time, a visitor came.

It turned out to be the town's Ouyang master.

Master Ouyang is a celebrity in the town, with a big family and a big business, and he is also an important witness to the Bai family's major ceremony yesterday, but I don't know what happened to him when he visited at this time.

Master Ouyang is also a cheerful person, as soon as he comes in, he gets straight to the point and has something to say.

It turned out that the two sons of his family also participated in Rufeng's homecoming ceremony yesterday, and coincidentally, the two fell in love with Ruyu Rufeng at first sight. This time I came to propose marriage to my two sons.

Hearing this, the whole room was stunned.

Old man Ouyang is not bad, but the reputation of his two sons is really not very good, and the second son is slightly better, that is, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers and does not do his job, while the eldest son is romantic, relying on his own money and doing everything.

Master Bai deserves to be Master Bai, he immediately put away his astonishment, and said to Master Ouyang with a smile on his face: "Master Bai is in love, how dare we dare to climb your Ouyang Mansion with a small family?" ”

Master Ouyang said: "Master Bai, where are you talking about this, who in the whole town doesn't know that you Master Bai is highly respected and wealthy, if our two families are destined to get married, they are the right match, and they are a good match." ”

"Master Ouyang, you have won the award, you don't know, the little girl Rufeng and Zai have been separated for more than ten years, and then she returned to the Bai family, you can't wait to let her marry to your mansion, how can you give it up, Rufeng is still young, I still want to keep her by her side for a few more years."

When Rufeng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Master Bai, what you said is reasonable, then you have no reason to object to the matter of Ruyu and my family Tianlin."

At this time, Ruyu had already heard a sweat, Tianlin was the eldest son of the Ouyang family, if he really married this person, he would undoubtedly be in a fire pit, and he would never recover.

Master Bai said unhurriedly: "It's not a secret, the eldest daughter Ruyu already has a marriage contract, so it's really not appropriate to marry someone else." ”

Master Ouyang was stunned: "This is true, why have you never heard of it in the house?" ”

Master Bai: "Everything about my own family is revealed to others." ”

Ruyu's hanging heart finally let go, relieved.

Master Ouyang was speechless, so he could only say goodbye, still indignant in his heart.

At this point, the family finally relaxed, but only Bai Shijie was uneasy and could not be relieved.

No one can understand the deep anxiety in his heart. He was worried, he was afraid, because one day, she was going to marry someone else, and then what should he do? As an older brother, what reason does he have to stop her from finding her own happiness? Brother, yes, he was her brother, brother, what a sarcastic name, and at the same time what a painful name.

And at this time, Rufeng thought that he could form a good alliance with Ling Feng as soon as possible, so as not to cause extraneous branches, and today's things will not happen again in the future.

A room of silence. After a while, Ruyu opened her mouth first.

"Father, you really know the righteousness, thanks to your wisdom, otherwise I don't know how today's matter would have ended."

Master Bai just shook his head and sighed softly, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.

"How did you come up with the excuse that Miss Ruyu has a marriage contract to reject Master Ouyang, this reason is simply irrefutable." Butler Ah Fu said.

Old Man Bai looked at Ah Fu, turned around and looked at Ruyu with a solemn expression, "Yu'er, in fact, this is not an excuse made up for my father, but a fact. ”

"What?" Ruyu's amazement was no less than before, and she looked at Master Bai with wide eyes, "Isn't this your expedient measure?" ”

Master Bai shook his head, "Actually, you already have a marriage contract. ”

"When, how come I never heard you talk about it?" Ruyu was unbelievable.

Master Bai had to tell the story.

It turned out that long before Master Bai got married, Master Bai and his confidant and friend Zhang Zhiqing had reached an agreement that the first child of both parties, if they were of the opposite sex, would be married for a hundred years.

Later, Zhang Zhiqing got married first, and gave birth to a son named Zhang Yiqian the following year. In the same year, Bai Qianmo also married Lin Yubing, and soon, Lin Yubing also became pregnant with a child, which was later Ruyu. It's just that at that time, everyone didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl, and Bai Qianmo and Zhang Zhiqing said at that time that if it was a girl, she would definitely be Zhang Yiqian's daughter-in-law.

It's just that things are changing too fast, and before Ruyu was born, Zhang Zhiqing's family moved south, and they have been gone for more than ten years, and there has been no news.

Master Bai thought that this matter would be over, who would have thought that Zhang Zhiqing's family would return to their hometown a few days ago, and Zhang Zhiqing still remembered this matter, and he also mentioned it privately to Master Bai after the return ceremony of Rufeng yesterday.

"Father, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Bai Ruyu asked.

"Originally, I thought they wouldn't go back to town, and I didn't think there was any need to say it, but then they came back, and I wanted to tell you, but some time ago, too many things happened at home, and I didn't bother to tell you for a while, I didn't think about it, it turned out that Zhiqing has always taken this matter to heart."

"And what do you think now, father?" Ruyu asked carefully, she didn't want to marry Zhang Heqian, the reason, I don't know if careful readers have found it, imagine it boldly, haha.

"It's very contradictory in my father's heart, Yiqian I only saw it when he was very young, so many years have passed, and I don't know what it has become, but after all, our two families have a marriage covenant with their fingertips, and it's not good to be a bad person, you can't be a man who violates integrity, you know, being a father has always been a promise."

"Father, didn't you say that the Zhang family has come back, why haven't you seen the Zhang family?" Rufeng asked.

"Yiqian is still out of town, and it will take a few days to come back, and the Zhiqing couple are homesick, so they came back first."

"Then what if this Zhang Yiqian is a lame, pockmarked, madman, ruffian, and father, does the father also want his daughter to marry him?" Ruyu asked.

"This is not going to happen, Zhang Zhiqing and his wife are dragons and phoenixes among people regardless of their appearance and character, and their son is not far behind. What I'm worried about is that you grew up in a different environment, and whether you will be able to match your temperament in the future. ”

"Father, you have to think twice about this matter, this is about your daughter's lifelong happiness." Ruyu said.

"Let me think about my father, let me think about my father." Old Man Bai held his forehead with his hand, and he didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Bai motioned for everyone to step down, but Ruyu couldn't slow down for a while, so Rufeng helped her back to the room.

When she arrived at Ruyu's room, Rufeng poured a glass of water for her sister.

But Ruyu has always looked lonely, her eyes are gloomy, and she has no intention of drinking water at all.

Rufeng looked at Ruyu, sat down beside her, and said to her: "Sister, little sister has a saying, I don't know if to ask or not?" ”

Ruyu didn't raise her head and said, "If you have anything to say, you can just say it." ”

"Sister, do you have someone you like?"

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Bai Ruyu stood up excitedly.

Seeing Ruyu's appearance, Rufeng already knew it in his heart.

"Sister's crush, but my eldest brother Yin Chaifeng?" If the wind does not go around in circles, he asks straight to the point.

"Who told you this, don't speculate, this kind of thing can't be talked about......" Bai Ruyu's excited expression was no longer controllable.

"You grew up in a deep boudoir, and you haven't met many men, and I've always felt that the way you look at my eldest brother is different from the way you look at others - I was just guessing at first, but now, your expression tells me everything."

"I ...... I ......" Ruyu didn't know how to refute for a while.

"Sister, you don't have to hide it from me, if you can trust me, I'll go back and tell my eldest brother that he can come to the Bai family as soon as possible to propose marriage, and I can also go to intercede with my father."

Ruyu suddenly blushed and was speechless.

"If my sister doesn't want to, then I'll be a little sister, and my sister will be like the wind and haven't said anything." Rufeng quietly observed Ruyu and deliberately said so.

"Like the wind." Ruyu suddenly stopped her.

Rufeng smiled secretly, but said quietly, "Sister, do you have any orders?" ”

"Rufeng, you say, I'm a girl's family, is this really good?" Ruyu looked embarrassed and said timidly.

Rufeng laughed, "What's bad, you don't need to say it, besides, my eldest brother, in fact, he's also interested in you." ”

When Ruyu heard this, she looked at Rufeng in disbelief, "What did you say?" You said that Brother Yin ...... me"

"The so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. I see the two of you very clearly, and every time my eldest brother mentions you, there is a special light in his eyes. ”

"Really? Is what you said true, Brother Chasing the Wind is really ......"

"Of course it's true, will I still lie to my sister, okay, my good sister, you can leave this matter to your little sister, you have a good rest first, don't think about it anymore."

Ruyu wanted to say something, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again.

Rufeng calmed Ruyu for a while, then returned to his room and set about handling Ruyu's affairs.

The immediate priority is to inform Chasing Wind of everything as soon as possible, and on the other hand, to do his father's work.

When Rufeng was sorting out his thoughts, he happened to receive Ling Feng's reply.

Like a wind of joy came from it, he couldn't wait to open the letter.

After reading the letterhead, I felt emotion in my heart again.

The most beautiful is the promise of two hearts; The best thing is that the two love each other.

Rufeng has responded to Ling Feng's thoughts, and his feelings have returned, and his heart has been sent.

Without thinking much about it, Rufeng immediately replied to Ling Feng.

At this time, the letter, in addition to expressing one's own lovesickness, is also related to the fate of the other two.

That's right, Rufeng wanted to discuss the matter of Ruyu and chasing the wind with Ling Feng, and Rufeng told Ling Feng the source of this matter one by one in the letter.
