Returning to the small courtyard at the foot of Xizhao Mountain, Li Ruyu was puzzled by the scene in front of him.

What is the situation?

Shen Lian didn't go to the general office of Fusi in Beizhen, sat on the stone steps in front of the courtyard, stared at Li Ruyu coldly, and immediately threw Li Ruyu a quick solution look, obviously the current situation in the courtyard made him very helpless.

In the courtyard, where Li Ruyu hoeed clean, there was a small table, but there were only three stools.

Li Ruyu finally understood why Shen Lian was sitting on the stone steps.

On the small table, there were four or five plates of side dishes, listening to the fragrance and smelling, which evoked long-term memories, especially the plate of home-cooked tofu, which made Li Ruyu return to Fanmian Village in an instant.

There were two people seated at the table.

Two women.

A young woman, a young girl.

The young woman is Aunt Zhou, who has not seen her for some days, and met for the first time after coming to Lin'an, well, now she has changed her name to Xie Chunzhen, and her complexion is much better than when she was in Fanmian Village.

A pink skirt of high-quality material, inheriting the style of Dayan, the skirt is half exposed, and it is snow-white.

A mole is faintly visible on the chest.

The young woman had the hosta in her bun, and there was nothing else, and she was twice as pure as she was refreshing, and her ruddy skin was quite a bit of a Jiangnan woman's style - in fact, Aunt Zhou was in the humid place in Fanmian Village, and her skin was still watery.

Huabian lay quietly and flatteringly at Aunt Zhou's feet.

Opposite Aunt Zhou, there was an unconvinced little girl in red, her face full of small freckles was active, and the newborn calf was staring at Aunt Zhou without fear of tigers, and she did not show weakness at all.

Li Ruyu's heart sank, what happened?

Aunt Zhou got up with a smile, "Ruyu is back, how did you do in the exam?" ”

Li Ruyu gave Aunt Zhou a junior courtesy and said with a smile: "There shouldn't be a big problem." ”

If the calligraphy attainments of the hand-bearing scholar on the green mountains in the dream world cannot be lifted in the arts, then there are too many demons in Da Liang, and it is impossible for everyone to have Zhou Suhuai's calligraphy attainments.

Aunt Zhou chuckled lightly, happy from the bottom of her heart, "Xiaoxiao will be very happy to know." After speaking, he glanced at the little girl in red proudly, and her face was ...... Boom.

Well, it's Boomer.

Li Ruyu secretly smiled bitterly.

can see it, Aunt Zhou still thinks that the little girl in red is her new hookup, so she is so tense with her, but she wronged herself, but after thinking about it, what a good thing.

At least my aunt doesn't treat herself as an outsider in her heart.

The little girl in red was suddenly choked uncomfortably, and got up and slapped her chopsticks hard.

"Don't eat it, heartwarming!"

A cat's waist jumped to the courtyard wall, and was about to go away, when he suddenly stopped, his figure was like a willow being blown by the wind, and then he fell back to the wind strangely, standing on the wall, with a sly smile on his face: "What's so good about this guy?" This girl didn't look at it at first, but now this girl has decided, I want him to be mine...... Man! ”

Well, it's a man!

After speaking, he waved his hand proudly, saying that I want to rob your son-in-law, what can you do with me?

Aunt Zhou's face darkened, and she said: "Whose little girl, who is not ashamed, doesn't you know how to be reserved, even if Brother Yu will have three wives and four concubines, but you are so ignorant of self-respect, whose young man dares to ask for it?" ”

The little girl in red smiled, deliberately angry with Aunt Zhou, and looked at Li Ruyu, "Do you want it?" ”

Li Ruyu was so embarrassed, he opened his mouth to speak and stopped, and sighed, "Don't make trouble." ”

The little girl in red snorted, jumped off the courtyard wall and disappeared.

Shen Lian, who had watched the whole incident, twitched his cheeks, got up from the stone steps and sat on the stool, and said sullenly, "Eat." ”

Li Ruyu smiled, "Auntie, sit." ”

Three people are seated.

Shen Lian was in a bad mood and buried herself in eating, Aunt Zhou knew that Li Ruyu had the habit of eating without saying a word, and she only ate gently, but there was not much embarrassment of eating with strange men.

After all, in Fanmian Village before, Aunt Zhou was a village woman.

Eating the taste of the food in his memory, Li Ruyu was very touched, and at the same time Shen Lian was touched, he was originally in a bad mood, and after snoring, he said that it tasted good.

I looked at Aunt Zhou twice.

Aunt Zhou got up and responded with a smile, a little curious about how this man had gray hair, which looked a little amazing.

Li Ruyu had an injury on his shoulder, so he only ate light dishes, and after eating carefully, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Why is my aunt here?" ”

Aunt Zhou's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she stopped talking.

Li Ruyu's heart sank, "Who bullied you?" ”

Aunt Zhou glanced at Shen Lian, and Li Ruyu hurriedly said, "It's okay, he's not an outsider." ”

Shen Lian also did not have the consciousness to evade.

Aunt Zhou thought for a while, and said without worry: "Yesterday, a big official named Ning Que came to the mansion and told my father that there was a principal in the Privy Council, and he had recently lost his wife, and the implication was that he wanted to be a matchmaker. ”

Shen Lian had a keen sense of smell and smelled the ups and downs of officialdom here, "It's a good thing, Xie Lang, the secretary of the ministry, has a relationship with the Privy Council, and then there is the right minister Ning Que and the governor Xie Yun, which is enough to shake the iron-blooded prince." ”

Aunt Zhou glanced at him and said, "What's good!" ”

Shen Lian would be mistaken and didn't say a word with a dark face.

Li Ruyu probably guessed it, and said with a wry smile: "Xie Shangshu is interested?" So I told my aunt, and then you didn't want to, so you ran away from marriage and ran away from home? "I can also think of it, if Aunt Zhou is not willing to find a man to live, she will remarry as early as Fanmian Village, why should she be widowed for many years.

Aunt Zhou was so aggrieved that she didn't have a confidant after coming to Lin'an, and now in front of her future son-in-law, she couldn't help but talk a little more, and said softly: "Yes, I haven't even seen that person, besides, I don't want to be wronged in the future." ”

Li Ruyu is dark, it is indeed possible.

Since ancient times, the world has valued sons over daughters, especially in Da Liang, as a stepdaughter, Xiao Xiao will go to the main family, and he will become his family, and when something happens, even Xie Lang is not good to say.

It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.

Sighing, "That ......"

Aunt Zhou hesitated, tugging at the placket of her clothes and kneading it, "Brother Yu, I want to stay here temporarily, and then go back to the house when my father has no idea of letting me remarry." ”

Before Li Ruyu could nod, Shen Lian, who had been in a gloomy mood, nodded, "Just be in charge of cooking." ”

Li Ruyu and Aunt Zhou looked at him at the same time, and the meaning of the eyes of the future mother-in-law and son-in-law was very clear: Which green onion are you, and when did you decide?

Shen Lian looked embarrassed, embarrassed with a capital letter, and coughed, "Let's go." ”

Before leaving, he patted Li Ruyu on the shoulder, "Very good." ”

Li Ruyu knew that it was very good, the art department should be promoted to the Shihan Forest Academy, which was another way for his career, and for him Shen Lian, it was equivalent to an extra sharp pawn.

is speechless, so many people want to use themselves, just because of the thunderbolt they can't die.

But what is the case in the world, who is not being taken advantage of?

Everyone is a pawn.
