Suspicion is inevitable, after all, Xu Saren is still sitting here, and the little abacus in his heart has already flown out and crackled.

But what about being suspicious? Xu Sa is not naïve.

Fu Rushen will rest assured to let her go out, without suspicion at all?

Impossible!

So in the next few days, the news that the owner of the village received was some: "Mrs. Zhuang went to the East Market today", "Mrs. Zhuang visited the West Market today", "Mrs. Zhuang got lost twice on South Street today"......

Han Ye listened to him happily: "Why is my sister-in-law like a wild horse, running out every day?" ”

Master Fu didn't say much, only picked up a thick stack of ledgers in front of the table, got up and put them on Han Ye's table: "I see that you are quite energetic, share some of it for me." ”

On the fourth day, when the next person came, Han Ye screamed "ouch, ouch, ouch" and ran out with a stomachache. Master Fu Zhuang asked with a dark face: "She went to Beishi today?" ”

After a pause, he hugged his fists and said, "That's not true, Mrs. still went to South Street today." ”

"South Street?" Squinting his eyes, Fu Rushen murmured, "Isn't there only a few bells and whistles on South Street?" ”

"Madame went to the Yuelao Temple on South Street." Humane.

Now his brows furrowed, Fu Rushen put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and said, "Didn't she also visit the Yuelao Temple yesterday?" ”

"No, it's not." "Yesterday, Mrs. walked casually, and left without a few glances. But today, Madame wandered around for a while. The subordinates didn't dare to follow too closely, only to see the maid beside the lady ask a few questions to the child in the Yuelao Temple. ”

"Madame's reaction?"

"It seemed that I suddenly realized, and I looked in the direction of North Street, and I looked very happy."

Happy?

Yuelao Ancestral Hall is a sensitive word, hearing that he is happy, the owner of Fu Zhuang is even more puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Rest tomorrow for the time being, and continue to follow the day after tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

"Huh, what?" Han Ye poked his head out of the door and asked, "Why doesn't Ming'er follow?" ”

Ignoring what he was eavesdropping, Fu Rushen said: "After the Chu Di party is comforted, Changliao can't delay for too long." ”

"Yes," scratching his head, Han Ye sat back in his place and let out a long sigh at the end, "There are so many troubles this year...... I don't know when the second brother will come back, I haven't listened to the girls in Yichun Building sing for a long time! ”

"You know how to squeeze Xiao Jiang." Fu Rushen read the accounts and said.

Han Ye glanced at him and snorted twice: "You don't know how to squeeze me yet!" ”

"You need to sharpen."

"Then the second brother still likes to be sharpened!"

“……”

Seeing that there was another stack of thick ledgers to be sent, Han Ye's face turned pale: "Brother, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, you go out tomorrow to pay attention to safety, and remember to collect the momentum when you visit the door, don't make people think that you are going to the door to beat people...... Brother I was wrong! That's wrong! ”

Pursing his lips, Fu Rushen let go of his hand. The heavy ledger fell on the table, and he stood up with his body propped up, walked to the door, and looked at it casually-

Following him out, Han Ye was stunned: "Even if the second brother can come back early this year, it won't be too early, right?" He shouldn't be able to see this short-lived sister-in-law. ”

What a flash in the pan......

Glancing at Han Ye, Fu Rushen was silent.

After all, he is a person who benefits from each other, what does it matter if he can't see it? He can't wait for time to pass now, so that he can send Xu Sa, the guy who bothered him, away.

It's getting dark.

In the Listening Wind Pavilion, Xu Sa was already ready to sleep. But just as the lights were about to go out, Yun Xiangyi came over, and in desperation, she had to invite someone into the room and let Xinyu study ink on the side.

"My sister has been going out early and returning late for several days in a row, are you tired?"

Yun Xiangyi opened her mouth as soon as she sat down, but she didn't call her cousin-in-law like Fu Rushen did when she was there.

Xu Sa smiled and wrote on the paper: "I don't know if Madame came to listen to the Wind Pavilion, do you have any orders?" ”

When Yun Xiangyi entered the door, his tone was a little sharp. But when she saw Xu Sa's words, especially staring at the word "madam", she opened her mouth, and her tone softened: "It's not a big deal." ”

Xu Sa pursed his lips and wrote "You speak", and looked at Yun Xiangyi quietly.

In all fairness, Yun Xiangyi was born beautiful, delicate and innocent, with slender and white fingers, and at first glance it was a pearl that was praised by others.

This kind of little girl can easily make men protective. Even when women dress up as men outside, Xu Sa herself likes to greet this kind of girl who is ignorant of the world, and laughs about it, which makes the other party's face blush and resentful, and anyone can be in a happy mood.

However, at this time and that time, she lived in Longhang Villa, with the title of the owner's wife, walking on the street in the past two days, occasionally bumping into a familiar shopkeeper, and the other party had to pull her into the shop and said: "Whichever the owner's wife likes, take it at will!" ”

Xu Sa didn't believe that Yun Xiangyi would have no idea. The two of them are on opposite sides, even if the other party knows that she is only temporarily replaced, they will not feel good when they encounter this incident, and they will be more or less hostile to her - especially from the day she came back from Xichun, she can see that Yun Xiangyi is not like a generous girl.

Feelings are inherently selfish, and those who can be generous are either hypocritical or foolish, so she doesn't blame Yun Xiangyi.

She just wants to leave safely, so she has to think about people's hearts complicated.

Yun Xiangyi thought for a while, and said, "You asked me to say it, so I'll say it." ”

Ignoring the other party's suddenly strange logic, Xu Sa smiled and raised his hand to make a "please" action.

Glancing at her, Yun Xiangyi had a little more resentful look in his eyes: "Sister should know that cousin ordered Yiyi to take care of your food and clothing, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Sa nodded, and suddenly understood in his heart.

This girl is here to blame her for not following the arrangement!

Sure enough, when he said the first sentence, Yun Xiangyi began to be unpolite: "Sister, in this mansion, you are a lady on the surface, and I can't control what I do on your head." But since my cousin has told us, we should also do it, you were at least eating in the house a few days ago, but you can't even see a shadow these days, my cousin asks you about your use, but I can't answer, sister, you should be able to think of how embarrassed I am. ”

Xu Sa was helpless, and made a look of self-blame on his face.

"I'm sorry, there is too little demand, so you can't wipe your face."

After reading what she wrote, Yun Xiangyi choked, pursed his lips and said: "This is not a matter of face, Longxing Villa, as the largest force in Chudi, if you don't take care of you, wouldn't you be smiling and generous when you spread it?" Yiyi just wants my sister to know that we are hospitable, what do you want, just tell me. ”

Hospitable ......, Xu Sa wrote: "I want to see the memorabilia of Longxing Villa, okay?" ”

"Memorabilia?"

"Well, I don't lack clothes and jewelry, but I'm curious about the past of this huge villa."

Yun Xiangyi hesitated, blinked, and said, "Then I have to ask my cousin." ”

"Okay."

Finally sent Yun Xiangyi away and closed the door heavily, Xinyu asked, "Master, why do you want to see the memorabilia of Longxing Villa?" ”

Xu Sa grabbed the paper on which he had written with one hand, got up and said abruptly: "No way, your master has a villain's heart, he loves the belly of a gentleman the most, he doesn't rely on himself for food and clothing, and he is not down-to-earth, and what he can ask for is only this kind of relatively valuable, but it is something that many people can touch." ”

With that, she threw the paper ball into the brazier, turned and pulled the quilt into the corner of the bed.

"Tomorrow we'll go to North Street." She whispered.

After four days of foreshadowing, I also came up with a few plans, thinking that I could finally see my relatives and friends again, and I could take my apprentice into the villa to accompany her, it was impossible not to be excited.

Xu Sa moved her body, turned her gaze to look at her room, buried her face in the quilt again, and exhaled softly.

The treatment of Longxing Villa is really good, and the villa is safe inside, so she thinks a lot, she always feels like someone wants to harm her - in fact, she should be thinking too much. But over the years, a person came with Xinyu with fear, and she died early if she was not careful.

She lacked a sense of security and was very lacking, so she met Gu Yuankun by chance, especially after learning that he had the same name as her younger brother who died young, she pulled him into an apprentice with a dead face.

But it's really a treasure. Although Yuan Kun looks like an ice mound, it is warmer than a small padded jacket. So, her life is not particularly bad, otherwise why did God drop such a stupid apprentice to her?

"Master, what are you laughing at?" As soon as Xinyu finished disposing of the brazier, she saw Xu Sa nesting in the corner of the bed with a stupid face.

Xu Sa raised his eyes and said, "Think about it, Ming Rikun knows my method, and I'm overjoyed!" ”

"......" Xinyu quietly rolled her eyes, "Are you deliberately angry with him?" ”

"No," Xu Sa pouted, "I'm thinking about it very seriously, and you also know that Longxing Mountain Villa is difficult to enter." ”

But the schadenfreude on your face is suspicious...... Xin Yu shook his head sneeringly.

The next day, Xu Sa got up very early. Although she walked silently all the way, she knew by looking at her expression that she was humming a little tune.

deliberately detoured a few more times before he groped for Ruyi Building, but when he stood a few steps outside Ruyi Building, Xu Sa opened his mouth suspiciously: "Why didn't anyone follow today?" ”

"Huh?" Startled by her sudden words, Xinyu was nervous, "Master, be careful!" ”

"It's not." Xu Sa frowned, turned around and swept around behind him, "When your master is concentrating, he will still make this kind of mistake?" No one followed me today, and I found out from the moment I went out. ”

Xinyu opened her mouth and lowered her eyebrows to guess: "It can't be that we got up too early, the other party is still sleeping, right?" ”

Xu Sa shook his head: "I don't know...... Let's go first, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. ”

The Ruyi building has been renovated, and traces can be seen from the outside. When the master and servant knocked on the door, it was Gu Yuankun who opened the door, and the first floor looked like a mess full of things, all of which were brand new decorations.

"Why did you come?" As soon as Gu Yuankun opened the door, he asked with a dark face.

His eyes swept around the house, Xu Sa staggered away from him, and said into the house: "Fu Rushen is too cautious, he sends people to follow me every day, and it's not easy to get rid of it, so I can only slowly lay it and find it." ”

Suddenly, seeing a couch behind the messy objects, Xu Sa turned his head and smiled meaningfully: "Yuan Kun, you won't be waiting downstairs to be a teacher, right?" ”

Gu Yuankun glanced at her and asked coldly, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"Not yet, this is not in a hurry, I'll let Xinyu buy it later," Xu Sa replied while looking up, "Sister Ruyi and Jiu'er shouldn't have gotten up yet, right?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Yuankun didn't answer her in the end, but said, "You come with me." ”

Xu Sa blinked inexplicably, arranged for Xinyu, who was dozing off, to sit downstairs for a while, and followed Gu Yuankun to the backyard.

The pattern of Ruyi Building is very common in Dongchu. The front two floors are used for business, and the one floor in the back yard is a small building for people to live in, and the storeroom, bedroom, and dining room are surrounded in a circle in the yard, although the area is not large, but it is complete.

Seeing that Gu Yuankun was walking to the dining room, Xu Sa frowned and asked, "Sister Ruyi is still very short of silver?" You don't all eat the leftovers from the night before in the morning, do you? ”

"What leftovers. Look at your face, if you eat leftovers again, you're going to die. Gu Yuankun said mercilessly, opened the door of the dining room and walked in, "Do you want to drink porridge?" ”

"Huh? Got porridge? Xu Sa ignored Gu Yuankun's ridicule of her, and looked around the small dining room, and found that the dining room had been almost cleaned up.

Gu Yuankun didn't care about her, and directly lifted the lid of the cauldron and said, "If you do it, you want to drink sweet or vegetable porridge?" ”

"Huh? Are you going to do it? ”

Xu Sa was surprised.

Glancing at her injured arm, Gu Yuankun's action of washing rice with him confirmed Xu Sa's guess: "Sweet and salty, say." ”

Xu Sao came to him and blinked: "There are materials?" ”

“…… Say. ”

"Let's be sweet."

is different from Master Fu Dazhuang, her apprentice can be said to have brought the inconsistency between the outside and the inside, the cold on the outside and the heat on the inside to the extreme. I've heard him mention cooking before, but he hasn't done it for her once, this time he took the initiative so much, is it for the sake of her injured face?

Xu Sa obediently moved a small horse to sit down, supported his chin with one hand and observed the busy figure of the apprentice, and asked curiously: "Won't you be cooking for Sister Ruyi these days?" ”

Gu Yuankun snorted and turned to look at her: "I look idle?" ”

"Wow, what are you talking about...... "Where are you not idle?"

Without waiting for Xu Sa to finish speaking, Gu Yuankun lowered his tone again: "How are you injured?" ”

"Huh? It's okay, that's it, I'm sorry for my life, I've been careful not to touch it, the medicine is taken on time and changed on time. Xu Sa smoothly jumped to the next topic with him.

Gu Yuankun snorted: "If you spare your life, you shouldn't have made a move that day." ”

"Oh, you don't understand," Xu Sa pouted, "Fu Rushen can't have an accident, I protect him to protect Chu Di!" Longxing Villa is now a flat shoulder, carrying Changliao and Chu Di on both sides, Fu Rushen suddenly had an accident, and the two sides should be in chaos, and the barbarians will also intervene if they are not in chaos, and it will be Chu Di who will suffer in the end. ”

"Then you really have a big heart." Gu Yuankun applauded, and a good word of praise came out of his mouth, no matter how he listened to it, it meant derogatory.

Xu Sa thought he was praising himself: "Well, I just don't want more people to be displaced like me." ”

In the fluttering words, I don't know how many heavy pasts are mixed in. Xu Sa had already seen it, but Gu Yuankun's actions were a meal, and after adding firewood, he picked up two eggs and washed them and threw them into the pot.

In the middle of the night, a big bowl of porridge came out, and Xu Sa was speechless: "You have quite all the ingredients?" ”

"That's just it."

"......" glanced at him, Xu Sa was really hungry, so she sucked and drank while it was hot, and dug out an egg while she was drinking, she was happy, "Yuan Kun, how can there be such a good apprentice as you in this world!" ”

was praised and didn't see a trace of laughter, Gu Yuankun peeled off the eggshell for her with a cold face, and stretched out his hand to hand it over: "Take care of your injuries." ”

What kind of injury is this? have caught up with the elderly. Xu Sa happily ate eggs and drank porridge, but his body gradually warmed up.

Seeing that she obediently finished eating, Gu Yuankun served himself porridge and sat opposite her and drank it silently.

It wasn't until the porridge bowls of the two of them were at the bottom that Wei Ruyi and Jiu'er got up. They were obviously tired, and when they saw Xu Sa waving, the tiredness on their faces disappeared a little, and a smile appeared: "Sassa is here." ”

"Hmm!" Xu Sa bowed his chin towards the stove, "Yuankun made porridge, you guys come over and drink, I'll call Xinyu to come over too." ”

"I'll go with you." Gu Yuankun stood up and said.

"Okay." Xu Sa wiped his mouth, "It just so happened that we went to the second floor to talk about getting you into Longxing Villa." ”

The two of them left one after the other, and Wei Ruyi and Jiu'er looked at each other.

When the lid of the pot was lifted, the thick porridge inside was still steaming. Jiu'er smashed his mouth twice: "Alas! When will I meet someone who says something like 'gentleman is a chef', and then buys a bunch of ingredients and puts them there, just waiting for me to come and be someone to eat for me? ”

"Look at you sour." Wei Ruyi asked with a smile, "Do we Jiu'er want to get married?" ”

"Nope!" Jiu'er shrugged, "I'm just wondering if Sister Sa and Big Brother Gu can become a couple." ”

Picking up a bowl in his hand, Jiu'er said with porridge: "Although Sister Sa is in Longxing Villa, she went to save Brother Gu, and she also concealed her true identity." In this way, when Longxing Villa releases people, she and Brother Gu will still have a chance. ”

"Ruyi Building hasn't opened yet, and you're starting to order mandarin ducks?" Wei Ruyi glanced at her, smiling with a little helplessness, "But I'm afraid that things are not so simple, and I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart recently." ”

In the main building of the Ruyi Building, Xu Sa told Xinyu to drink porridge in the past, and he went up to the second floor with Gu Yuankun.

The second floor already has the prototype of the future store, and the decoration is still very elegant, Xu Sa looked around and said, "These arrangements are all handled by Sister Ruyi, right?" ”

Gu Yuankun was slightly surprised: "Can you see it?" ”

"Of course!" Xu Sa raised his head proudly, reached out and poked the silver wind chimes hanging from the beam of the house hanging with a red rope, and listened to the pleasant sound, "Do you think my friendship with her for more than ten years is for nothing?" ”

Turning to the partition and stroking the fine patterns on it, Xu Sa lowered his eyes and smiled: "It's a pity, it seems that after the fall of Eastern Chu, few of us Chu people have lived a stable life." ”

This was the problem she saw from the day when several Chu merchants stayed at Longhang Mountain Villa for dinner.

When Dong Chu's qi is exhausted, will they suffer together? Sister Ruyi is so good, but she has married two men in succession, both of whom are short-lived, and she has been running around for many years, and she has only heard a little bit about the destruction of the Xu family.

When will such a difficult day be the end?

Suddenly grabbed his wrist, Xu Sa put away his heavy emotions, raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Fu Rushen." Gu Yuankun pursed his lips, "Have you ever encountered a problem by his side?" ”

"What's the problem?" Xu Sa didn't understand.

Gu Yuankun said: "I don't know if it's a physical or psychological problem, I heard that he rarely has contact with women." ”

Body? Psychology?

Xu Sa was stunned for a moment, thought about it seriously, and said, "It's all rumors outside, right?" He's physically fine, and his mind doesn't look like he has a problem. ”

Gu Yuankun was silent for a long time, his fists clenched slightly.

"You've had sex with him."

With a jump in his heart, Xu Sa looked at him incredulously: "Are you talking to me?" ”

"......" Gu Yuankun pursed his lips, more angry than her, "Xu Sa, you are really a fool." ”

"It's not big or small, it's called Master!" Xu Sa twisted his eyebrows and slapped his chest, "Isn't it just an innocence, if it's gone, it's gone, I never thought about getting married, and you don't have to blame yourself." ”

"Anyway, don't worry," turned around and sat on the soft collapse, Xu Sa crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Being a teacher will not rely on you for a lifetime, when do you want to get married, Master must find a good family and send you out in a beautiful way!" ”

"Hey, okay!" She continued to beckon, not giving Gu Yuankun a chance to refute, "Come here, tell you how to enter Longxing Villa!" ”

Twisting his eyebrows and looking at her for a long time, Gu Yuankun sighed heavily: "You say." ”

"Well, that's about the way it is."

Fingers nodded on his knees, and Xu Sa said: "Longxing Villa has very strict requirements, and those who can work in it must be innocent and have a clear background, and they only need Chu people - Liao people like you who have unknown origins and have been in prison, they will definitely not work." ”

"But," Xu Sa raised the corners of his mouth, "You can start on my side." ”

"What's next?" Gu Yuankun suddenly had a bad premonition.

"That is, sell ......"

The corners of his mouth became more and more provocative, Xu Sa simply couldn't hold back, and laughed wildly: "Sell yourself to bury your father and ask for a son with a lot of money, you choose for yourself!" ”

“……”

Facing Gu Yuankun's expression of eating flies, Xu Sa laughed so hard that his wounds hurt: "I'm serious, the only way I can come up with is these two!" ”

Gu Yuankun: "......"

After a long time, Xu Sa sighed and explained: "That's it, either I'll ask Sister Ruyi to find an older uncle in her branch and ask him to play a betrayal and burial of your father with you, and then I will be a good person and take you to your side as a guard...... Either when you came to Longye alone, you happened to meet a rich lady who was begging for a son when you were strapped for money, and as a result, you were deceived and innocent, and you put the last bit of money into it, and had to beg along the street, I saw that you were pitiful...... Wow, don't show that face. ”

Don't look away with a weak heart, Xu Sa whispered: "I really can only come up with these two methods." ”

"You've obviously heard too much drama." Gu Yuankun said coldly.

"Hey, hey." Xu Sa rolled his eyes, and finally straightened his expression, "So you choose or not?" Which one to choose? If you don't want to choose, it's good for you to stay in Ruyi Building. ”

"You obviously don't want me to choose." Gu Yuankun said in one word.

"How? As a teacher, I'm looking forward to you coming, Master Fu Zhuang, they don't know how to martial arts, if you're there, I can have an extra layer of security! Xu Sa said sincerely.

is the sincere eyes, no matter how you look at it, it is mixed with a kind of cunning.

After being bored for a long time, Gu Yuankun asked, "Can I go back with you today?" ”

"No, it will be tomorrow at the earliest, and I won't be practical if I don't do enough play." Xu Sa said, "So which one do you choose?" Let's also plan and ask Sister Ruyi to arrange someone to act. ”

Gu Yuankun clenched his fist and let go.

"Let's sell my body and bury my father."

"Okay, this is simpler, let's arrange it, and the show will start early tomorrow morning." Xu Sa patted his chest and became solemn, "Don't worry, Master can act, Ming'er will definitely take you to his side!" ”

“……”

It's strange to be able to rest assured.

Gu Yuankun said with a dark face: "You look at the arrangement." ”

"Then I'll inform Sister Ruyi." Xu Sa propped himself up, didn't give Gu Yuankun a chance to follow, and ran down on tiptoe.

Going around to the back of the stairs on the first floor, she stopped, grabbed the back of her chair and bit her lip.

There was a touch of unsure solemnity on his face.

Lunch was made by Wei Ruyi. In the Ruyi Building, several people discussed while cleaning up, and even the injured Xu Sa was not idle, occasionally helping to get a small object or something, until the sun was about to set, he left unsatisfied.

"Tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the appointed place." When Xu Sa left, Gu Yuankun said.

"Okay, you wait for me!" Xu Sa smiled and beckoned to him.

After a busy afternoon, it took a lot of physical strength. Xu Sa walked back, his steps unconsciously a little vain.

Xinyu saw it all in her eyes, and said worriedly: "Master, you can go back and have a good rest." ”

Xu Sa smiled at the corner of his eyes and glanced at Xinyu: "Why don't you blame me for tossing blindly?" ”

Xinyu sighed: "The slave maid has also lived in the Ruyi Building for a few years, how can she not understand your mind?" Anyway, you always know your body, and the slave can only worry about you, and she can't care too much. ”

"Look at this aggrieved little look!" Xu Sa smiled and pinched Xinyu's face, and when he let go, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he was about to pounce forward.

"Master!" Xinyu was startled and hurriedly supported her.

After slowing down for a long time, Xu Sa held his forehead and said, "I'm fine, just go back and rest." It's almost in the danger zone, let's make eye contact. ”

"Master......" Xinyu said embarrassedly, "the slave and maid will help you." ”

There was no separate dining room in the Tingfeng Pavilion, and after the rain passed, Xu Sa didn't drink the decoction under the pretext of preventing wind and cold, but insisted on changing the injury medicine.

Although she knew that this would be better and slower, Xu Sa didn't expect her to become so delicate, so she had no choice but to rely on Xinyu.

"It's okay," she whispered comfortingly, "the blood is slowly replenished." ”

Xinyu pursed her lips and nodded.

Across two streets, the largest building facing you is Dragon Walk Villa. Xinyu noticed that Xu Sa's forehead was sweating, and when she raised her eyes to see Longxing Villa, she was overjoyed: "Master, we'll be there soon." ”

"Hmm......" Xu Sa also raised his eyes, squinting at the gate of Longxing Villa in a trance.

Is it because of the dazzle? How did she feel that there were more than twice as many guards at the door than before?

Especially as she got closer and closer, the guards all leaned in, fearing that she would run away and surrounded her.

"What are you doing here?" Xinyu panicked.

Xu Sa squeezed her hand quietly, signaling her to calm down.

Then I heard Fu Rushen's voice coming from outside the crowd: "Do you still know to come back?" ”

Xu Sa glanced at the sky and frowned.

No matter how dazzled she was, she would not mistake the day and night, and looking at the sky, she had come back earlier than usual today.

So why didn't she know to come back?
