Chapter 398 are all honest people
In the evening, Li Yu left Xishi half an hour early and returned to Yang Siqi's home.
Taichang Temple mentioned the news of him, he has not yet told the public, if someone is interested in inquiring on their own, it is another matter, but it is just a propaganda order, for him, there is nothing to make a big fuss about. On the other hand, Liangchen Meimei just died of her father, and you go and tell people that you have been promoted......
This is also too ignorant of human feelings.
In the Yang Mansion, the fifth Ling Ruo had already picked up the Pan Lady, Ji Xiang and Shenshen, and came back quietly. Fifth, Ling Ruo's bearing, although it is not as exposed and flamboyant as pretentious, whether it is in speech or expression, it is always gentle and lovely, but the aura is hidden in the bones.
She didn't want to feel oppressive to the Pan lady and the auspicious girls at all, but the inadvertent flashing of her eyebrows, her expression, and even the action of raising a glass of tea could make them feel an invisible pressure.
Ten years, a small family of jasper, has grown into a noble and majestic, not inferior to the daughter of the prince, deep and quiet in front of her completely unable to think carefully, in their feelings, they are in front of each other, like a country girl into the boudoir of the daughter, facing a real noblewoman.
Regardless of appearance, cultivation, talent, or bearing, it is not on the same order of magnitude at all, and there is no trace of confrontation. When Long Zuozuo faced them like this for the first time, he was like a hedgehog with teeth and claws, opening his thorns, and because of this, he seemed extremely down-to-earth, and they still had a heart to fight, but for the fifth Ling Ruo, there was no at all.
Even Pan and Ji Xiang felt detained in front of the Fifth Ling Ruo, they were not afraid, but in the face of a woman with such a gorgeous temperament, they would instinctively worry that their words and deeds would be timid.
Jixiang has always boasted of what she looks like, and when she was in Lizhou, she also pretended to be Wenjun and sold wine, but it wasn't until she saw the fifth Ling Ruo today that she knew what real elegance and nobility were, which was something that could not be learned only by imitation.
The fifth Ling Ruo also gradually noticed their restraints, which made the fifth Ling Ruo uncomfortable. It's Yang Siqi, because the third beam is here, and his fourth beam is not good to do his carpenter work in the courtyard alone, with him present, he can ease the atmosphere a little, although he is silent, and hardly speaks.
Yang Siqi's status was similar to that of Fifth Ling Ruo, and his mind was all on that pile of strange machinery, so he didn't feel any aura at all. He only has a carpenter's workshop in his eyes, just like letting him meet the emperor, it is estimated that his shock and Zhang Huang will not last a pillar of incense, and then he will return to the state of the iQue machine world.
At this time, Li Yu came back, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the invisible pressure disappeared.
Li Yu is like a universal fusion agent, he can dissipate the tension between Pan and Jixiang, dissolve the deep and quiet inferiority, dissolve Yang Siqi's boredom, and dissolve the helplessness of the fifth Ling Ruo......
The whole atmosphere suddenly warmed up. Pan Shi and Ling Ruo were busy going to Zhang Luo's dinner, deeply and quietly volunteered to help the cook, Yang Siqi had no sense of ownership, as soon as Li Yu came back, he felt that his reception task was over, and said hello, so he went back to the backyard to do his carpenter work.
There were only two people left in the flower hall, Li Yu and Fifth Ling Ruo.
"What, are they okay with each other?"
Li Yu was not nervous or restrained, although the fifth Ling Ruo had a gorgeous temperament and could not be reconciled.
He had seen this woman when she was still a lively and innocent girl, just like those poor buddies who had seen Emperor Zhu when he was still a mud-legged man, even if he wore a dragon robe and his demeanor was really high, it would not produce any majesty.
Fifth Ling Ruo smiled helplessly: "I'm nothing, it's just the eldest lady and the auspicious girl, they don't seem to be very ...... Well, it's not good to say, everyone looks like they have nothing to say. β
Li Yu scraped on her nose: "Who called you as noble as a princess, of course people are not suitable." β
What about princesses? Even if it is a heavenly girl, they actually don't want to hold it, they also want to be a pet little woman in front of their own men, and a lazy and casual little girl in front of their parents, so Li Yu shaved this time, and the fifth Ling Ruo wrinkled his nose at him and snuggled into his arms coquettishly.
Li Yu stroked her hair, and the fifth Ling Ruo was like a cat, being caressed by her neck by the owner, squinting her eyes lazily, looking very pleasant.
"By the way, I have something for you."
Li Yu was a little excited.
"Huh?"
Fifth, Ling Ruo opened his eyes like a cat and closed them again.
Li Yu said: "I hurt you to waste ten years of youth for me, and now you are twenty-five years old, I don't want to wait any longer, before the end of the year, I will welcome you through the door, how about it?" β
The fifth Ling Ruo, who was lying on his lap, didn't move, but his originally relaxed and leisurely breathing disappeared all of a sudden.
After a long time, she let out a soft breath, slowly opened her eyes, and sat up.
"Marriage?"
"You don't want to?"
Fifth Ling Ruo shook his head, nodded again, and said slowly: "There are some things that will not come back after the past, we can miss them, we can imagine, but we can't go back." If you do what you wanted, you will find that the result will be terrible, completely different from everything you once hoped for. β
Li Yu frowned, he vaguely understood what the fifth Ling Ruo meant, but he hadn't caught the point for a while.
"I was a concubine, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. It doesn't matter if my body is given to him or not, this identity can't be changed, I married into your family, what identity? If you raise a wife, the law of the country will not tolerate it, and it will also make you laugh at others. β
"I ......"
"Listen to me. Many people think that I am Chang Jiannan's mistress. I don't bother to explain, and I can't explain it. And this reputation, if you marry into your family, it will inevitably affect you, and I don't want that to happen. β
Fifth Ling Ruo glanced at Li Yu and gently stroked his eyebrows: "Besides, I was originally younger than you, but now I am a few years older than you." Do you think I don't think I'll take it as a burden? β
"I don't care about ......"
"I care! Aunt Pan cares! Others care! We don't live in a world of just two people. You're not that naΓ―ve, and I'm not ...... anymore"
Li Yu was speechless, full of joy, and suddenly turned into a faint melancholy.
Ten years have passed, without a trace, but some things have been polished by the years, and its imprint is still left.
Fifth, Ling Ruo picked up Li Yu's face and kissed him softly on the lips.
The kiss is soft and charming, soft and moving, but the taste is completely different from the youthful tension she was back then, this is how the years feel to her.
"Besides, I have my career now, if I suddenly let go of all this and return to the door of the mansion, the door will not go out, the second door will not step, and when I open my eyes every day, it is my in-laws, husband and children, and the center of gravity of everything is only between that square inch, I will also be very unaccustomed."
"So?"
"So ......"
Fifth, Ling Ruo's eyebrows and eyes are bright, and there is a kind of beautiful shyness and independent charm.
"Let's be lovers, except for the one who is only a burden and has no meaning to me, everything between us is no different from that of husband and wife, what's wrong with that?"
Li Yu froze, looking at the fifth Ling Ruo in front of him, and suddenly a strange thought arose, as if the traverser was not him, but the fifth Ling Ruo. A trendy urban woman who has crossed over from the cosmopolitan metropolis of the 21st century.
Fifth Ling Ruo smiled at him, leaned into his ear, his body was soft and fragrant: "Today, September 9, September 13, I will wait for you with white and clean." Ten years ago, it should have been given to you, don't disappoint me. β
Li Yu asked blankly, "Why September 13?" β
Fifth, Ling Ruo glanced at him: "Idiot! Because by the day, on that day, I will be 'clean!'"
"Goo-dong!"
The plum fish turned into a saliva fish.
Fifth, Ling Ruo stood up gracefully: "I'll go first, help me and my eldest mother come up with an excuse." I'll leave for dinner, and they'll be uncomfortable again. β
The water of calamity swayed away, waved his sleeves, and was dashing.
Li Yu stayed for a long time before he cleaned up his mood, and remembered that there was one more thing that had not been solved: the house problem.
Fifth Ling Ruo returned to her residence, and when the Eighth Female King Kong heard her say that she had rejected Li Yu's marriage proposal, her mouth couldn't close in surprise, like eight hippos yawning.
No one knows better than them how deep the fifth Ling Ruo's love is, but when she finally regained her old love, she actually gave up the pursuit she had been thinking about for ten years.
"I am not the same person I was ten years ago. He is not the same person he was ten years ago. β
Fifth Ling Ruo sighed: "So, some things can only change, change, we can only be sweet together." If you cling to what you wanted ten years ago, you will end up bored. β
Facing the still puzzled eyes of the eight hippos, the fifth Ling Ruo explained: "Do you think I can accept competing for favor with a few women? What kind of means should I use to compete with them for favor? It's still such a relaxed relationship, which makes each other more comfortable. If he is good to me, he is still good to me. And he will never be impatient with me......"
"But did the young lady think about it...... What do you do when you're old? β
"What to do? It's the same. If I have children with him, I can arrange them well. If he is still good to me, he will always be with me, if he is not good to me, even if he is guarding a name, it is not the same as guarding the empty room? What's the problem? β
"What's the problem?"
The eight hippos thought about it, this was a problem for them, for most women, but for the fifth Ling Ruo, it was indeed not a problem. She can solve all the family responsibilities that her husband should take care of, even better than that of men.
However, how many Fifth Ling Ruo are there in this world, and how many women have such ability and financial resources and power? So what is a problem for others is really not a problem for her. Instead of bowing her head to her aunt, she has to compete for favor with a group of warblers and swallows, and she really lives a chic life at such a time.
For the fifth Ling Ruo, Li Yu was really full of guilt at this time, and this was bound to turn into tender care, and "repay debts" in a life-long way. deserves it, who told him to provoke such a woman with a fox mind.
But Li Yu was still at a loss about this, and during dinner, he deliberately kept Yang Siqi and mentioned the plan to buy a house and move out, so he had another debtor.
"Uncle Yang, the emperor has forgiven my sins, and I can live in Chang'an forever in the future. During this time, thank you for your care and protection, and I plan to choose a house and buy a place to live......"
"Buying a place to live? Isn't it nice to live here, why bother to move and toss around. β
"That's not the case, I think it's ......"
"Don't move, just live here."
"However, you must always have your own house, which is also considered an inheritance. ...... in the future"
"Okay, I'll sell my house to you. I'm cheaper, you just have to pay some money, I'll transfer the property tomorrow, how about it? β
"Huh?"
"Then, I'll rent a room, okay? I'll just rent a room in the backyard. Otherwise, I'll buy the left and right, renovate it slightly, double the size of the house, and I'll move to the small courtyard in the corner of the courtyard, which won't affect you anything. β
"No, Uncle Yang, you are like this, you let me ......"
"It's decided, it's a word, don't regret it!"
Seeing that Yang Siqi revealed his true feelings, in order to keep them, he actually came up with such a method, Li Yu was moved, how ...... Honest people!
The fifth Ling Ruo is also so honest, she has been waiting for him for ten years, and in order not to affect the harmony of his family, she would rather give up her dream of ten years. For this, he can only repay it with a lifetime of love.
But Uncle Yang has paid so much, how can he repay it?
Li Yu looked at Yang Siqi, and then at the old lady who wanted to stop talking, and thought, "It's time to find a matchmaker for the honest Uncle Yang." β
