Lin Ruo said in embarrassment, raised his hand, and stopped Murong Chong's persuasion and sulking: "Fourth brother, life is long, and you and I have no way to foresee what kind of things will happen." I can only promise you that if there is such a thing again, I will first guarantee that I am more than 90% sure and will not put myself in danger. ”

Murong Chong was silent.

"Fourth Brother ......"

Lin Ruo tugged at Murong Chong's sleeve and shook his hand flatteringly.

Murong Chong sighed: "We are just Qiao Zhuangcheng's brother and sister of the Wang family, and I, the 'fourth brother', are not real." ”

"Who said that?" Lin Ruo blinked his eyes slyly, his cheeks flushed slightly, "The 'fourth brother' I call is the fourth prince of Donglu, not the fourth brother of the Wang family......"

Murong Chong was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth were hooked upward, and the corners of his eyes were dyed with a smile, and he was in a very happy mood. However, he still deliberately turned his face and said, "Don't hide it from me from now on." ”

"Well," Lin Ruo dragged his tail note and pouted and smiled: "I'll try my best." ”

Murong Chong had no choice but to give up.

"By the way, aren't you in a different rhythm? How do you know how to stroke the piano? ”

Lin Ruo blinked: "When did I say that I don't understand the rhythm anymore?" ”

"Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Lin De Palace, what did you tell the emperor."

Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin De Palace.

That night, the palace was staggered, and the courtiers pushed the cups and changed the lamps. The sound of Zhu Xian and Yu Chime is endless, and the dance of Ting is dazzling.

She and Murong Chong sat side by side, whispering. She said that she had a lot of wine and could drink it all the time, which made Murong Chong choke, so that the eyes of Emperor Mingzong and the ministers and wives who attended the banquet were focused on the two of them.

She remembered that she said at the time: "Back to the emperor, Fang Cai Minhui told the prince her opinion on this Chu dance in the palace. The prince replied that Minhui couldn't dance, just watch it carefully. Minhui was naturally unconvinced, so she asked the prince, why can't he beak if he doesn't know how to dance and music. The prince said that Min Hui was strong in words. Min Hui blurted out that the prince doesn't know how to cook, isn't he also a picky eater? Then, the prince choked up......"

Lin Ruo fell into thought and laughed.

"But I was talking nonsense at the time, do you still believe it?"

Murong Chong was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It's probably half true and false what you said, so I believe it." ”

"Then, in the dowry that my uncle prepared for me, there is another Fengwu guqin, and the fourth brother has never noticed it?"

Murong Chong touched his nose in embarrassment and confessed, "It's true." ”

Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows and looked at him, shrugging helplessly.

That's not her responsibility.

"Gu Fu never asked anyone to teach me to play the piano, but Sister Xi taught me to play the guzheng. Later, when I went to the Lin Mansion, my uncle was afraid that I would see things and think about people, and I didn't want to learn much, so I didn't invite a musician to teach. However, Yun Niang is good at playing the guqin, and I studied with her intermittently for a few years. It's just that memorizing the score is too much to think about, and it's not too demanding. If you are interested, you can play a song, and if you are not interested, you will put the piano aside. ”

Speaking of the past, Lin Ruo couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.

Gu Manxi's death and the gloomy days of the Gu Mansion have always been in her heart.

Murong Chong couldn't bear it, so he bypassed the topic and said, "It seems that when I return home, I should take a good look at what is listed on your dowry list." The Lin family's grain shop, the title deed of Mingsha Mountain, the Fengwu guqin, I don't know how much foreshadowing there is! ”

Lin Ruo's eyes were red, and he smiled at the corners of his mouth: "It's time to take a good look, Miss Lin Family, it's very valuable!" ”

Suddenly, thinking of something, Lin Ruo exclaimed "Oops"!

"What's wrong?"

"How long have I been asleep? What about Steward Wang? Did Midu come to him? ”

Lin Ruo patted his head in hindsight, and wanted to get up a little anxiously, but was pressed back to the bed by Murong Chong, and said softly: "Don't worry, Mr. Li has been here and told me all your next plans." I've already asked Shaoze to help arrange it, so you can rest well. ”

All...... Scheduled?

Lin Ruo was a little hesitant: "Really? ”

"Well, Midu has already sent someone to Ji Mansion yesterday, and was bombed out by my order, and this morning I went to Steward Wang, and I also asked them to refuse on the grounds that you were poisoned and unconscious, and you no longer plan to do business with Beiqi."

"So, what about Brother Li?"

"He raised the price by 20% today, but our price didn't move."

Lin Ruo nodded thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a smile: "In this way, Midu will send someone to Ji Mansion again soon, and I have to continue to pretend to be sick." Then everything will be left to the steward of the king. ”

"Can he really believe that Steward Wang will 'betray' us?"

"It's not betrayal, it's deception, and self-enrichment. In Midu's eyes, the two of us are young masters and young ladies from rich families, and the middle oil and water of a few thousand taels of silver will not be taken seriously at all. But for him and Steward Wang, this is a big windfall! ”

"He'll say that!" Lin Ruo cleared his throat, imitated the thick and greedy voice of Midu, and said, "Steward Wang, you have worked hard behind those two little ghosts, and the money you earned is all from the Wang family, not yours!" But if you cooperate with me and give me the fur in your hand, I will transfer it to Li Yan at a high price, and the extra silver in the middle will really go into our pockets! ”

Murong Chong couldn't hold back and laughed, he didn't expect that Lin Ruo would have such a funny side.

"However, aren't you worried that Steward Wang is really 'mutiny'?"

Lin Ruo waved his hand: "Impossible!" Such a little bit of silver can't get into the eyes of Steward Wang. He has followed Uncle Wang Shi for so many years, and he also has a lot of shops in his hands. Uncle Wang Shi gave him the money every year for Lu silver and the New Year's festival bag, which added up to almost these. For the sake of such a small amount of extra wealth, it is really impossible to lose the position of the housekeeper. ”

"According to you, a housekeeper, this silver and reward money is even more than that of me, the prince?"

"Fourth brother, don't admit this, for example, the Lin family's housekeeper and shopkeeper have all seen the world, although they are not allowed to do business privately, but every year the money earned by the Lin family's shop will be discounted to them at the end of the year, which is more than the ordinary rich and noble family earns in a whole year. Therefore, those who want to go away from the relationship, the objects sent to their hands cannot enter their eyes at all. This can ensure that the Lin family's things are definitely the best! ”

Murong Chong sighed: "You are really a young lady from a rich family!" ”

"There is no way, sometimes, the highest wage is the lowest cost. The shopkeepers are so expensive, and I, the owner, can only work harder to make money! ”

Lin Ruo smiled helplessly, but Murong Chong read some small smugness in her eyes.

However, Murong Chong did not ignore the tiredness in her eyes.

The illness is like a thread, not to mention that this menacing wind and cold is caused by poisoning, after saying so many words, Lin Ruo is indeed a little tired, so he obediently obeys Murong Chong's arrangement and lies on the bed to take a nap.
