Chapter 174: Ruler Book 2
Lin Ruo smiled crookedly: "Brother Li won't let them bully!" The fourth brother should be worried about whether the generals in the northern army who have a tendon to the end can cope with the twists and turns of Brother Li~"
"Really?"
"Of course!" Lin Ruo raised his head proudly, "In the past, when everyone was in the Lin Mansion, everyone didn't suffer much from Brother Li!" Especially Bo Yu and Luo Er, oh, they are the silly boys of Luo's shopkeeper's family, they want to seek revenge on Brother Li every time, but in the end they only have to be tricked. When Brother Li went back this time, it is estimated that they must be stunned in their hearts. ”
Murong Chong looked at her, the corners of his mouth hooked up a beautiful arc, leaned forward, and leaned into her ear: "So, are you worried that Li Yan went to the army and was at odds with the soldiers in the north, which made me embarrassed, so I made this decision?" ”
Lin Ruo's eyes widened, and his face was surprised.
She didn't feel wrong, did she?
Murong Chong: This is ...... Molerating her?
Although the two of them made their words clear and agreed to get along naturally, isn't this too natural?
According to her understanding, this invincible Lord Rong has always been unsmiling!
Forget it about laughing, after all, smiling is still very eye-catching.
But!
Weren't the ancients very reserved? Of course, a cynical kid like Su Boyu doesn't count. A young master with a personable demeanor and a cold face suddenly became an unruly son!
And tease her!
That's a big change, isn't it?
As a new woman who has lived in the 21st century, Lin Ruo certainly can't show weakness! However, when the words came to his lips, they became: "Hehe, sort of......"
What the heck?!
Is this the word that comes out of her mouth?
The smile on the corner of Murong Chong's mouth was deeper, especially when he saw the flush on Lin Ruo's cheeks.
It's not redness, it's hot!
Lin Ruo's heart roared, but even she had to admit that when Murong Chong's magnetic voice sounded in her ears, her heart unconsciously missed a beat.
Why did you stay in ancient times for ten years, and your mind was as sensitive as the woman here?
Calm!
Lin Ruo took a deep breath and let the chaotic heartbeat return to normal, then he opened his mouth and changed the topic: "I've been in Danzhou for a long time, and I don't know what is going on in Bian'an City." ”
"In the past few days, there should be news coming." Murong Chong smiled, ignoring her Gu left and right to talk to him, "What's the matter, homesick?" ”
"It's okay, but I can't rest assured that I can't go to the Lin Mansion."
Don't worry about Lin Qian's condition, don't worry about Lin Qi and Su Boyu, who like to cause trouble.
Murong Chong just wanted to comfort her a few words, but there was a knock on the door.
"Cousin, it's me."
Outside the door was Ji Junyang's voice.
"There are letters from your house."
Hearing that a letter was sent, Lin Ruo was a little surprised.
Moreover, Ji Junyang's tone was a little anxious.
Could it be that something happened to the Lin Mansion?
Lin Ruo's heart jumped, and he hurriedly opened the door and let Ji Junyang in.
Seeing that Murong Chong was also in the room, Ji Junyang was a little surprised, but only for a moment, he showed a "I understand" expression at Murong Chong, but raised his eyebrows at Murong Chong.
What do you know?
As if he understood that the situation was urgent, Ji Junyang did not respond to Murong Chong with any more eyebrows, but took out a one-finger-long ebony bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Lin Ruo: "The Lin Mansion sent it, you can take a look, if something happened!" ”
The Lin family's transmission of messages is divided into thousands of machine locks and letterboxes.
The thousand machine locks must be transmitted by people, and the letters in the box must be written in the unique secret language of the Lin family. In addition, the messenger does not know how to unlock and does not understand the secret language.
But the letterbox does not have to, it can be transmitted by both humans and pigeons. The letterbox is divided into three types: bamboo, sandalwood, and black, and the more urgent the matter, the more valuable the material for the letterbox.
Seeing the ebony letterbox handed over by Ji Junyang, Lin Ruo's face turned pale. Tremblingly, he opened the letterbox, removed the sealing wax from it, and pulled out a piece of silk cloth.
Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo, who was tense, and knew that she was worried about Lin Fu, so he gently patted her tense back, and said softly, "I'm here." ”
But it doesn't seem to have had much effect.
Murong Chong stared intently at Lin Ruo's trembling hand, originally thinking that the silk cloth that could fit in this finger-length ebony letterbox was limited, but he would have thought that Lin Ruo would pull out more than two feet with a pull!
Unfolded, the silk cloth was as thin as a cicada's wings, and the handwriting on it seemed to stand in the air.
Murong Chong was raised as a prince since he was a child, so he naturally saw this exquisite fabric, but he couldn't name it.
On the contrary, it was Lin Ruo, after seeing the handwriting on the "smoke yarn" that was as thin as a cicada's wings, the whole person was stunned.
This is clearly Su Muyu's handwriting!
Looking more closely, the content of the letter is also Su Muyu's flowing water note-taking method.
After reading a few lines, Lin Ruo's expression became a little weird.
The further back she looked, the previous panic had long since disappeared without a trace, and in her place, she grinded her back molars to a "gurgling" sound.
If Su Muyu was in front of her, she would definitely throw the two-foot-long smoke yarn on his body to vent her anger!
The reason why he used tobacco yarn as stationery was very simple: because only this thin cigarette yarn could make him write so many words and stuff it into a letter tube that was only as thick as a finger.
As for the reason for using an ebony letterbox to send a message, it is even simpler: this two-foot smoke yarn, Lin Qi is enough to blackmail him with two hundred taels of gold! He felt that he was too much of a loss, so he stole one of the most valuable ebony letterheads to carry the message.
What does it mean to be looking for something to do?
That's it!
Lin Ruo took a deep breath, trying to calm down his fluctuating emotions and persuade himself not to worry about that elm head. But...... I don't care about the size! She was almost scared to death!
Originally, I was worried about Lin Qian's condition, worried that Tang Xiao would have a back hand in Bian'an City, which would be unfavorable to the Lin family, and worried that the prince and King Ye would covet the Lin family and secretly make a stumbling block! This ebony letterbox from the Lin family was delivered, and she almost thought that what she was most worried about had happened!
Outcome?
Hmph, Lin Qi charged him two hundred taels of gold, which is really cheap for him! Two thousand taels should be charged, not twenty thousand taels! Let him have a good memory!
Lin Ruo exhaled heavily, not knowing whether to be angry or laughing.
Ji Junyang saw that the expression on her face was changing, and his curious eyes fell on the handwriting on the cigarette yarn, and after reading the whole article, he also showed a look of crying and laughing.
Su Muyu said in his heart, most of them are boring in Bian'an City, there is no one to talk to, and he is forced by his father Jingpinghou to read books and report to the military department every day, and is urged by Mrs. Jingpinghou to marry...... And so on. In the end, he also complained to Lin Ruo, saying that Lin Qi accepted two hundred taels of gold from him for a two-foot-long piece of smoke, and when he saw the money, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, which made Ji Junyang shake his head and laugh, and completely understood the reason why Lin Ruo suddenly gritted his teeth.
"Fortunately, Uncle Lin and Xiao Qi are fine, so you don't have to worry too much."
Lin Ruo nodded, temporarily relieved.
