40. Contract

(2019.4.6 Addendum)

The banquet was already coming to an end, and Ruohua hadn't said anything more from the moment he came back. Qu Yu felt strange, and looked at Ruohua's face carefully, but couldn't see anything.

"What's wrong?" Qu Yu asked in a low voice.

Ruohua stiffly turned his head to look at him, then turned his head to look at Mo Xu, and moved slightly to the side so that Qu Yu could see Mo Xu.

Mo Xu looked at this, just now Ruohua happened to block his view, and now he found that Mo Xu looked at his eyes, which was inexplicably a little chilly, even if he thought he was enough to calm down, he was also seen with a chill on his spine.

Seeing Ruohua's ugly face, he also gave Mo Xu a look in return, which was a warning.

The two of them went back and forth like this, and no one was willing to give in to the eyes, Ruohua felt a little embarrassed between the two. Fortunately, the banquet had already come to an end, and Ruohua knew that he could be relieved by enduring for a while.

Just when Ruohua was about to collapse, Yang Shengcen suddenly walked over and said to Ruohua, "The old man is invited." ”

"Only this one?" Ruohua glanced at Qu Yu, who had a cold face on the side, and wanted to break this deadlock quickly, so he had to ask, "I'm going to take someone with me, I guess Old Man Yang won't care, right?" ”

"This ...... Grandpa only invited you alone, if you bring someone else, will you ......" Yang Shengcen was obviously a little hesitant, his words were slurred, and his anxious white face was a little red.

Ruohua took a good look at this man. It seems to be a man of the same age as her, who looks like a weak scholar, and it seems that he should be a simple-minded big boy, and most of them have not experienced any major events. Of course, this is just speculation, and Ruohua can't make up his mind.

The scholar of this era is trapped by the thoughts of the eight strands, and it is not surprising that he seems a little dull, although the scholar in front of him is upright, but his thoughts can't go around the bend, so she has to order him a little, "Old man Yang invites this seat to go, so this seat should always bring an entourage, right?" What's more, Deputy Pavilion Master Qu is not an outsider, he is a confidant of this seat, so it seems that it doesn't hurt for this seat to take him alone, right? ”

"Okay......" Yang Shengcen obviously hesitated for a while before nodding, and then motioned for Ruohua and Qu Yu to follow him.

Ruohua naturally got up and walked quietly. At this moment, the song and dance happened to arrive*, and everyone was immersed in this song and dance, and no one even knew when Qu Yu and Ruohua left.

This is naturally what Ruohua is happy to see.

Qu Yu happily followed quickly, and the three of them left the scene without attracting anyone's attention. Of course, except for one person, that is Mo Xu, who has been paying attention to this side, and he is now in a mess in his heart.

Ruohua's touch on him before, the kind of body fragrance on his body, he always felt familiar, as if he had smelled this body fragrance when he visited the princess's mansion at night that day.

Of course he couldn't remember much, his eyes darkened, and then he sighed, and wanted to turn his attention to the song and dance, but he drifted farther and farther away.

The years are long, and the memories are fragmented, how can I remember.

Let's say that Ruohua followed Yang Shengcen all the way to Old Man Yang's study. Ruohua looked up at the plaque above, the word "Mei Zhai" was written on it, the word dragon and phoenix danced, if the connoisseur saw it, he would definitely sigh at the vigorous font through the paper.

Ruohua stopped, turned to look at Yang Shengcen, and asked him, "Who wrote this word?" So well written. ”

"It's down." Yang Shengcen was a little flattered and seemed to keep his distance from Ruohua.

Ruohua looked at the word thoughtfully, and there was really an inscription on the side, and the words "Yang Shengcen" were written. is obviously a person with a soft and cowardly personality, but he writes such vigorous and powerful words, which makes Ruohua more and more unable to see through the person in front of him. She couldn't figure it out, but she had to smile and say, "I don't expect Yang Gongzi's calligraphy to be so good, if so, can Yang Gongzi put a plaque on the Jiang Pavilion." ”

"Naturally, you have praised it, Pavilion Master." Yang Shengcen made a sincere expression, but Ruohua caught a different information from the flash in his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made Ruohua a little frightened.

"Yang Gongzi is obviously a person with great ambitions, why should he pretend to be an ignorant scholar?" Before Ruohua could figure it out carefully, Qu Yu had already asked what she thought.

Yang Shengcen's face stiffened, but then he returned to his previous look, and his eyes flashed with approval, but there was no change in his words, and he only heard him say, "Deputy Pavilion Master Qu said with a smile, Yang doesn't understand what you are saying." ”

Ruohua raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Qu Yu, signaled him not to speak, and then turned his head and said, "Since Yang Gongzi wants to try me, let's say it bluntly, this seat has always disliked beating around the bush, and please don't be surprised." ”

"Let's go." Yang Shengcen just turned a deaf ear, turned around and pushed open the door of the study, raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

Ruohua sneered, didn't say anything, and raised her feet into the study, she knew that this kind of person always made you unable to find the slightest thorn, and it was just a waste of time to entangle.

Qu Yu also followed in, leaving only Yang Shengcen standing outside the door, and after closing the door, he left.

Mei Sai Nei.

Old Man Yang stood in front of a bookshelf, with his back to Ruohua, as if he was looking for something. Ruohua didn't say anything, and stood aside with Qu Yu, by the way, figuring out Yang Shengcen's meaning and Old Man Yang's intention to invite her to come.

"You're here." Before Ruohua could think about it, Old Man Yang turned around and held a few books in his hand. He glanced at Qu Yu, who was standing silently beside Ruohua, as if he was not surprised at all, and then continued to look at Ruohua.

"Grandpa Yang asked Miao Yu to come, so he should have responded to your invitation." Ruohua naturally knew that in fact, Old Man Yang wanted to talk to herself, but she still had to take Qu Yu with her, just in case. It's not that she can't trust Old Man Yang, but she can't trust herself.

"That's nature, come, come here, old man, I picked out a few books and gave them to you." Old man Yang had a strong smile on his face, and he could see that he really liked Ruohua very much. Ruohua naturally did not refuse, and stepped forward to take the books from Old Man Yang.

She subconsciously flipped through it, and it was almost some famous copybooks. But looking up at Old Man Yang's smile, she felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it again, she realized that this was actually the real thing, and she was suddenly a little shocked.

"This gift is too valuable, Miao Yu can't accept it." Ruohua hurriedly said, she felt that she suddenly had a lot of pressure, and they were all written by famous artists, she could still see this writing, although she was not an expert, but in modern times, she had been exposed to it since she was a child.

"It's okay, it's a waste to leave it here with the old man, and giving it to you is a gift for you, you are not allowed to dislike it." When Old Man Yang heard this, he just smiled, and he didn't mean to take it back.

Ruohua had no choice but to accept it tremblingly.

"This is my henchman, you should know him, right?" Ruohua felt that Qu Yu was a little embarrassed on the side, and took advantage of this to change the topic by the way, although it was a bit far-fetched.

"Acquaintance." Old Man Yang smiled, then turned to Qu Yu and said, "Miao Yu should also be taken care of by you, and there is a notebook here, so I will give it to you." ”

"This gift Qu Yu can't be accepted, the young pavilion master also takes care of Qu a lot, and Qu Mou, as a subordinate of the young pavilion master, should do his best to help the young pavilion master." Qu Yu was also the same as Ruohua, and hurriedly excused himself. Ruohua still had a reason to accept it, but he couldn't find any reason to convince himself to accept the gift.

Old Man Yang didn't persuade anymore now, just put the book on the table, and then leaned on the edge of the table to sit down in front of the chair. Ruohua hurriedly stepped forward to support, Qu Yu stood aside, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

"Girl, why do you wear a mask every day, don't you dare to show me what you look like to the old man?" After Old Man Yang sat down, as if to ease the atmosphere, he said.

Ruohua froze and didn't speak, just lowered his head and made tea on the side. Seeing that she was embarrassed, Qu Yu opened his mouth to relieve the siege, "The young pavilion master doesn't like to show his true face very much, and the rule of our Jiang Pavilion is that high-level personnel use masks to represent their identities, and I hope you don't be surprised, old man." ”

"There are so many strange rules in your Jiangge, and I'm not interested in knowing this old bone, I just want to see what Miao Yatou looks like. I don't care about the so-called male and female affairs, my old bones are not so rigid. Old Man Yang saw that the two of them were very restrained, so he joked.

Ruohua raised his head, then lowered his head again, and said softly, "Grandpa Yang, Miao Yu has recently had the idea of doing business, can you give me some advice, how to do business?" ”

"You want to do business? Do you know that my Qing Dynasty was heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and it was still the end of industry and commerce. Old Man Yang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ruohua to be interested in business.

Of course Miao Yu knows. Miao Yu has only recently become the master of this young pavilion, although the situation of the pavilion is not bad, but there are still limitations, Miao Yu naturally hopes that he can have some achievements. Ruohua naturally heard the doubts in Old Man Yang's words, so he had to explain.

Old Man Yang is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and then calmed down and said with a smile, "Of course you can, don't rush everything, you tell me about the situation of Jiangge over the years, and I can give you advice." ”

"Miao Yu actually wants to do business on his own, and then come to support Jiangge. Jiangge is also on the cusp of the storm now, and if he acts rashly, he will only be targeted. Ruohua said her worries, and she naturally believed the sincerity in Old Man Yang's words, so she said it unabashedly.

"Then according to your current ability, plus the help of the Yang family, the small business is no problem, but if you want to make the hole cards for Jiang Ge, it will not be so simple. Tell me more about it, old man, and I'll see what I can do for you. ”
