The sun was gradually turning west, and Lu Ren and Cai Yan also returned to the mansion side by side. And along the way they passed, there was this conversation between the villagers of Moe Village:

"Huh? Who is the woman next to Mr. Lu? ”

"! Miss Wan'er, of course. Either it's Xiao Lulan or Miss Mi. ”

"You're! If it's Miss Wan'er or Miss Lu Lan or Miss Mi, can I not know each other? ”

"Not? Let me see...... yes, whose lady is this? But...... It's beautiful! ”

"What are you talking about...... Ay? Isn't that the woman who followed Mr. Lu when she first arrived in Xudu last year? ”

"You know?"

"I don't know. However, when Mr. Lu was in Xudu at the beginning, she was followed by him. At first, our people in Natun thought she was a girl with Wan'er, but later we realized that it was a mistake. But then she didn't know where she went, and the one who followed Mr. Lu was replaced by Miss Wan'er. ”

"There are so many women around Mr. Lu, and each one is more beautiful than the other!"

"Nonsense! Mr. Lu is a Shennong family, and of course he must be accompanied by beautiful women. Okay, get to work, we've got to finish all this work here before dark......"

When Lu Ren and Cai Yan returned to the mansion, Wan'er was already waiting for them in front of the door. When Lu Ren and Cai Yan appeared in Wan'er's sight, Wan'er immediately greeted her and took Cai Yan's hand very affectionately. But before Wan'er could speak, Lu Ren on the side said in a slightly sour tone: "So close? Leave me alone, don't you? ”

Wan'er said softly with some embarrassment: "Sister Cai is a rare visit, of course you have to entertain her." ”

Cai Yan glanced at Lu Ren with a meaningful gaze, and then held Wan'er's hand and said, "Sister Wan, don't pay attention to him, his heart is so small when he shouldn't be small." Our sisters are close, what does it matter to him? By the way, Sister Wan, do you still have that kind of bathroom here? The weather is getting hotter, and I sweat a lot along the way, and I want to wash up well. ”

Wan'er also smiled: "Yes, it was built more than half a month ago." As before, I'll help Sister Cai wipe your back? ”

"Good! Let's go, ignore him. ”

Saying this, Cai Yan and Wan'er threw Lu Ren there and ignored it, and Lu Ren could only cry and laugh at it. However, Cai Yan turned his head after taking a few steps, and handed Lu Ren that meaningful gaze. Lu Ren understood the meaning of Cai Yan's gaze, and the person also nodded to Cai Yan.

――――――――――――――――――――

The night was deeper, the moon was in the sky, and most of the people at this time had slept peacefully, but the lights were still on in Lu Ren's study.

There was not a single word on the bamboo slips spread out on the desk, and Mao Xiao, who was supposed to be dipped in ink to write, was only temporarily a toy in Lu Ren's hands to play with unconsciously. After a long time, Lu Ren put down the brush in his hand, and stood in front of the window without saying a word, looking at the bright moon in the sky in a daze, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

He was looking at the moon here in a daze, and suddenly a wind-blocking cloak gently draped on his body: "Lord, there is still a little chill in the middle of the night, be careful not to catch a cold." ”

Lu Ren came back to his senses, smiled at Wan'er beside him, and reached out to hold Wan'er's slender hand. Just this grip, Lu Ren's brows immediately wrinkled: "Cold hand...... Wan'er, don't catch a cold yourself. ”

Wan'er smiled back at Lu Ren. Glancing at the empty bamboo slips on the table, recalling the thoughtful look on Lu Ren's face when he raised his head to look at the moon just now, he couldn't help but bring out a little sorrow between his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice: "Lord, are you thinking about Sister Zhaoji?" ”

"Uh......" Lu Ren was suddenly asked by Wan'er, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I was really thinking about her...... She'll stay with us for a few days, so stay with her whenever you can. ”

Wan'er lowered her head and was silent for a while, then suddenly leaned into Lu Ren's arms, and her arms hugged Lu Ren's waist tightly, but she didn't say a word.

Lu Ren stroked Wan'er's back a few times, and hesitated for a while before asking, "Wan'er, have you been hiding something from me all along?" ”

Wan'er hurriedly raised her head and said, "Lord, why did the Lord say this?" Wan'er, Wan'er......"

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "You have never had any scheming, so how can you hide something from me?" I wasn't in a good mood because of the dismissal, so I didn't pay attention. But now that even Akihime can see it, can't I see it? ”

Wan'er was silent again, and after a long time, she said faintly: "Wan'er doesn't want to deceive the Lord, it's just ......."

Lu Ren was actually just a temptation before, but when he saw Wan'er say such a thing at this moment, he immediately understood in his heart, and immediately pressed Wan'er's cherry lips with his hand, and sighed lightly: "Needless to say, I understand." In fact, don't say it's you, if Cao Gong is picky and clear, and send me an order directly, I don't dare to go against Cao Gong's intentions. ”

Wan'er's cheek was pressed against Lu Ren's chest, and she said softly, "It seems that the Lord really understands." Lord, Wan'er is not stupid, and she has grown up in the Cao Gong's mansion since she was a child, and some things are actually very clear in Wan'er's heart...... Lord, you will marry Sister Zhaoji according to the will of Cao Gong. Wan'er never dared to ask for anything, she just asked the Lord not to let Wan'er and ignore Wan'er after marrying Sister Zhaoji, and Wan'er knew that it was enough......"

Lu Ren was speechless, so he could only hug Wan'er tighter. After a long time, Lu Rencai stroked Wan'er's back and said softly: "Zhao Ji and I are both smart people, we know what Cao Gong's real intentions are in doing this, and we will agree to it for self-protection, so the matter between me and Zhao Ji can only be regarded as half-truths and half-truths at best...... But Wan'er, you remember, in two years you will be the only person I take away, and Zhao Ji has no objection to this. Now you only have to remember one thing, that is, you must not talk about it, otherwise if something goes wrong, everyone will be in trouble. ”

Wan'er hesitated for a moment, raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ren and said, "Lord, why are you like this?" Speaking from the heart, Sister Zhaoji is a famous family after all, and she is on the same level as the Lord, and it is suitable to marry the lady of the main room. And Wan'er came from a humble background, so she could only ...... at best"

Lu Ren pressed Wan'er's mouth again, and said slightly: "I'm angry if you say this kind of thing again." ”

Wan'er closed her mouth, bit her lip again, and then put it on Lu Ren's chest again.

At this time, Lu Ren was a little unhappy in his heart, and said that this kind of class concept in the feudal era is too deceitful? But after another thought, Lu Ren secretly laughed at himself: "What are you talking about Wan'er?" Even in modern society, isn't there always someone who pays attention to the right things? Even if it's me, if I really meet some big star who says he wants to marry me, I won't think twice about it, and the biggest possibility is that I choose to hide away? As for the thing about the goddess of the sling, generally speaking, it can only appear in those YY novels, in real life...... Let's talk about it! ”

Thinking of this, Lu Ren gently pinched the tip of Wan'er's nose and said, "Silly girl, I don't necessarily have to marry Zhaoji." ”

Wan'er smiled faintly: "The Lord is comforting Wan'er, right?" It doesn't have to be like this, as long as the Lord can remember Wan'er and let Wan'er stay by the Lord's side, Wan'er will be content. And on top of this matter, the Lord must not neglect Cao Gong, in case he provokes Cao Gong to be angry, it will not be good for the Lord, me, and Sister Zhaoji. But now that the Lord can comfort Wan'er like this, Wan'er is really happy and content. ”

“……”

"Lord, can you let Wan'er be coquettish now? It's a pity that today is not the time, Wan'er knows that the Lord will not have fun with Wan'er, Wan'er only asks the Lord to hug Wan'er like this tonight and sleep together. ”

Lu Ren really couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only hug Wan'er tightly. Then Lu Ren simply gave Wan'er a "princess hug", and directly hugged Wan'er back to the bedroom......

――――――――――――――――――――

Nothing can be too urgent, too anxious will only make people feel that something is wrong, this is also a consensus reached between Lu Ren and Cai Yan, so Cai Yan came this time after a showdown with Lu Ren, just lived as a relative and friend for three days and went back to Xuchang. And after that, Lu Ren and Cai Yan still have to act in some dramas, at least they have to seem to have some natural meaning before they can do the next thing. Anyway, a few days after Cai Yan left, Lu Ren was still guiding the construction of Meng Village, which seemed to be no different from usual on the surface.

On this day, Lu Ren led Lu Cheng and Lu Lan, with a little relaxed mood to go out and play, they were walking around Meng Village, and when it was time to eat, those farmers saw Lu Ren and wanted to invite Lu Ren to their home for a light meal, but Lu Ren smiled and waved his hand and politely declined. Of course, Lu Ren doesn't want to take advantage of this little advantage, but seriously, how can the meals cooked by these people's families be as delicious as those made by their own Wan'er and Xiaolan? He carried two food boxes with him, which were the good wine and food that Wan'er and Xiaolan had prepared for Lu Ren's wandering and playing.

After finding a quiet and dry meadow, Lu Cheng skillfully spread the prepared straw mat on the grass, and Lu Lan placed the wine and food in the food box one by one. When they were ready, the three of them had a picnic on the grass. Lu Ren sniffled a few times, closed his eyes and sniffed the aroma of the refreshing air mixed with the aroma of the food, his mood was indescribably comfortable, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky for a while Haha, and joked with Lu Cheng and Lu Lan.

The couple was having a good time, when suddenly there was a slight sound of horses' hooves behind Lu Ren. Lu Ren's heart moved, and before he could turn his head and turn around to look at the person, the person who came had already walked quickly behind Lu Ren, and with a long slam to the ground, his voice seemed weak: "This gentleman is invited, can you give some food and so-and-so?" Mr. and his husband have not eaten water for several days, and Mr. He is already hungry and faint...... "Maybe it's because I'm really hungry, and I can't hear the words at all."

Not to mention how this person spoke, Lu Ren felt a little familiar when he heard this voice, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. Slowly turning to see who it was, the worshipper was struggling to straighten up. With this intersection of the two sides and four eyes, Lu Ren's vague memory in his mind was suddenly awakened, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stammered in surprise:

"You, you're Liu Bei!?"
