The carriage ran forward, Zhou Fu drove the car, Cuiliu sat next to Ruojun, Ruikang sat opposite the two of them, no one spoke, the atmosphere was dull and embarrassing, only the sound of the car turning and the shouting of Zhou Fu driving in front.

Cuiliu is a careful person, vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little strange, looked at Ruikang who frowned lightly, and then looked at Ruojun who bowed his head and was silent next to him, seemed to understand something, and said to himself: "Oh, it's boring in the carriage, I'll go out to breathe." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and sat down beside Zhou Fu.

Only Ruikang and Ruojun were left in the carriage, and the atmosphere was even more condensed, and after a stalemate, the two asked each other in unison, "How is your injury?" The two were stunned, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "It's okay......"

At this time, the two felt even more embarrassed and ambiguous, Ruojun's face was hot, and Ruikang didn't know what to say, so the two had to turn their heads away. After a while, Ruikang still couldn't help it, sighed lightly and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ruojun shook his head: "I am his wife." ”

Ruikang sighed, leaned his head against the car, closed his eyes, and stopped talking, she had said everything in her simple five words, and he was speechless and had nothing to say.

After a while, Mei Ruojun said softly: "You persuaded my father and mother to let me go back to my parents' house, right?" ”

He leaned against the car with his eyes closed and said, "I had an exam in the morning, so I rushed to school and took half a day off by the way." He slowly opened his eyes and stared at her, and said softly, "I know how much you want to go home." ”

She couldn't help but look at him, she was grateful to him, admired him, and liked him. The two looked at each other silently, and a thousand words flowed in their hearts.

"Why did you sit outside, it's windy and cold outside," Zhou Fu asked Cuiliudao.

Cuiliu snorted and didn't speak, Zhou Fu looked at her twice, felt that she seemed to be a little sullen, and asked again, "What's wrong?" It's okay to go in and sit, or you're going to catch a cold. ”

Cuiliu turned her head to look at him, frowned and muttered for a long time, opened her mouth and closed it, pouted and turned her head away for a while, Zhou Fu saw that her expression was abnormal, and it was even more strange, and asked, "What's wrong?" Did the young grandmother say you? ”

Cuiliu shook her head silently, glanced at the carriage, turned around, and said in a very low voice: "I really don't know if what I did was right?" ”

Zhou Fu is Master Zhou's right-hand man, almost thirty years old, his father used to be the big housekeeper of the Zhou family, he is stable and low-key, capable of doing things, and the most important thing is that he knows that people are sophisticated, affectionate and righteous, so he is very valued and relied on by Master Zhou, and he also turned around and looked at the carriage behind him along Cuiliu's line of sight, and instantly understood, looking at Cuiliu's confused face, and smiled softly: "The world is originally providential." Cuiliu looked at him with some doubts, Zhou Fu stopped talking, but the corners of his mouth still had that smile.

There was another snow in the second half of last night, the mud was mixed with ice and snow, frozen hard and slippery, Zhou Fu drove the car carefully, but he was very careful, but he didn't expect the wheel to hit a small stone, and the whole body was violently bumped to the other side, Ruojun's whole person was almost thrown up, and rushed forward, "Ah! Ruojun's lips touched Ruikang's cheeks, they looked at each other in panic, their faces were flushed, she opened her eyes in horror in his arms, but he looked at her meaningfully, Ruojun hurriedly wanted to break free, Ruikang's hand hugged her harder and hugged her tighter, he frowned, looking at her in his arms, she was still delicate, but her look was confused and haggard, he knew that she would experience more suffering in the coming days, I may sympathize with her, I may pity her, or I may ...... But what can you do yourself? He didn't know. Both of their hearts were pounding violently.

In just a moment, Ruikang let go of her and helped her back to her seat, just as the curtain in front of her was lifted, Cuiliu asked, "Grandma, second young master, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." The two said in unison, but they looked very flustered.

Cuiliu looked at the two of them, nodded, and sat in again, Zhou Fu got out of the car to check it, and replied: "The eldest young grandmother, the second young master, it's okay, I just knocked it just now." But there was ice on the road, so we had to walk slowly."

When she arrived at Mei's house, Ruojun got out of the car impatiently and walked home, Cuiliu helped her and said, "Grandma, you will lose your identity if you go so fast." Ruojun then remembered that she was no longer a little girl from the broken Mei family, but the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhou family, although she was just a young grandmother who was not worthy of the name, but after all, her identity was different, and she had to pay attention to her behavior wherever she went, so she had to slow down her pace, and with the support of Cuiliu, she slowly walked into the Mei family, Zhou Fu and Ruikang were walking behind with various gifts. The surrounding neighbors looked at each other one after another.

knocked on the door, it was Chen Yuqin who opened the door, and when she saw that it was Ruikang who accompanied Ruojun back, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Yo, it's Ruojun who is coming back to the door, and the second young master, come in quickly." ”

Mei Ruoli heard the sound, flew out of the room like a bird, threw herself into her sister Ruojun's arms, and smiled happily: "Sister, you are back, I really miss you." I specially asked for leave to wait for you to come back at home, and after waiting for you all morning, I thought you wouldn't come back, I was really anxious to die......."

Before Ruojun answered, Ruoli suddenly felt strange when she saw that it was Ruikang who accompanied Ruojun back, and she opened her mouth to ask, "Huh?" Why didn't my brother-in-law come back with you, but Zhou Ruikang accompanied you back? Could it be that Zhou Ruikang became a brother-in-law? She asked casually unintentionally, but everyone was embarrassed on the spot, especially Ruojun and Ruikang remembered the scene in the carriage just now, and they couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Chen Yuqin immediately pulled her daughter, made a look, and said, "You child, you have no mouth to hide." He smiled and beckoned Ruikang, Cuiliu and Zhou Fu into the house.

Ruikang hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Auntie, because my brother is inconvenient, I will send my sister-in-law back for my brother." Please also forgive your uncle and aunt. ”

"Oh oh, it's okay, it's okay, come on, come in and sit down." As he spoke, he shouted to the inner room: "Xue Fei, it's Ruojun who is back." ”

I only heard a violent cough from the back room, Ruojun hurriedly ran into the back room, and saw his father lying on the bed with a pale face, struggling to get out of bed, his complexion was much worse than three days ago, the tip of his nose was sore, he fell into tears, and threw himself on the side of the bed and said, "Dad, how are you?" You're going to lie down, don't get out of bed. ”

Mei Xuefei was very happy to see her daughter come back, and waved her hand and said, "Hey, no, today is the first time you have returned to the door in the third dynasty, and the new aunt has come to the door for the first time, I must get up to greet you in person." ”

Mei Ruojun hurriedly pressed his father's arm and bowed his head and said, "Dad, no need, Ryan didn't come back with me." ”

Mei Xuefei was stunned for a moment, stared at her daughter's face for a while, and said worriedly: "Ruojun, have you been wronged?" You look very haggard and sorrowful. ”

Ruojun's heart was shocked, she couldn't let her father see her troubles, she couldn't add to her sick father's worries anymore, so she hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "What's the matter, the people of the Zhou family are very good to me, and they also gave me a lot of jewelry." You see. Saying that, he stretched out his wrist and asked his father to see the "Yue Linglong" on his wrist, the hairpin on his head, and the earrings, Mei Xuefei sighed and shook his head and said: "You never care about this, there is a trace of sorrow in your eyes, is there something to hide from your father?" ”

Mei Ruojun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "How can there be?" Don't think about it, it's fine, I'm fine. ”

Mei Xuefei coughed a few more times out of breath, nodded and said, "I'm relieved that you are really good, but it's a pity that I can't see my uncle and can't entrust you to him personally." ”

Mei Ruojun said with a smile: "Dad, Ruian is not in good health and his movement is not very convenient, so ....... Ruikang came with me." ”

As he was talking, Ruikang knocked on the door, walked in, gave Mei Xuefei a look, and said hello. Mei Xuefei looked at Ruikang tall and handsome, refreshed, and looked at Ruojun beautiful and dignified, gentle and delicate, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, how good it would be if it was this family affair that was set at the beginning. Although Mei Xuefei didn't know how much Ryan's disability was, she could know a little bit from the rumors in his mouth, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her daughter.

Ruikang stepped forward and said: "Uncle Mei, your face is not good, it is better to find a doctor with excellent medical skills to take a good look, we know a few good doctors in our family, I will ask you to go." ”

Ruikang was about to turn around and order Zhou Fu, when Mei Xuefei stopped him and said, "Second Young Master, no, don't bother. ”

Ruikang saw that he was angry, his face was blue and gray, and he had an ominous feeling in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel sad, took out a packet of bird's nest from the gift, and said: "By the way, my mother asked me to take bird's nest and good rock sugar, stew and drink it is very nourishing, Uncle Mei, you have to take good care." ”

Mei Xuefei took the bird's nest and thanked her again and again, Mei Ruojun looked at Ruikang gratefully, Ruikang turned around and went out, so that his father and daughter could talk well. After Ruikang went out, Mei Xuefei praised: "The second young master of the Zhou family is really good. Ruojun frowned lightly and nodded.

"What about the eldest young master of the Zhou family? How are people? Mei Xuefei asked.

Mei Ruojun was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly smiled: "He's fine, Dad, don't worry." ”

Mei Xuefei sighed and nodded, and said, "Okay." Daddy knows his illness, and if you have the ability in the future, you will try to take care of your stepmother and sister. ”

Ruojun nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Dad, you relax, treat your illness well, and I will help take care of my mother and sister." ”

His father and daughter were chatting in the room, Ruikang was sitting in the hall and talking to Chen Yuqin, Mei Ruoli saw Zhou Ruikang, whom she admired and admired, sitting in front of her, happy like a bird, talking non-stop, Chen Yuqin saw her daughter's eyes and words and deeds, and she already understood in her heart, thinking that Zhou Ruikang was handsome and chic, personable, and knowledgeable, if Ruoli could be a pair with him, it would really be ideal. So he took a sip of tea and said tentatively: "I don't know how expensive the second young master is this year?" ”

Ruikang replied politely, "I am nineteen years old. ”

Chen Yuqin smiled again: "I don't know if the second young master is married?" ”

Ruikang felt that her question was a little abrupt, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but he also replied truthfully: "Not yet." ”

Chen Yuqin was even happier in her heart, at this time, Ruoli ran in with a piece of writing she had written, and wanted Ruikang to give her some advice, Chen Yuqin was busy laughing and hiding under the pretext of cooking, so that the two of them could get along alone.

Everyone had lunch at Mei's house, and after the meal, Ruoli excitedly pulled Ruojun in the house to talk privately.

"Sister, is my brother-in-law good to you?" Ruoli asked, taking Ruojun's hand.

Ruojun sighed lightly and said, "Okay." "Peeling apples in your hands.

Ruoli sat down mysteriously beside Ruojun and asked in her ear, "What does it feel like to be a bride?" ”

"What do you feel like?" Ruojun didn't understand what she was talking about, Ruoli rubbed her shoulder with a red face, and said softly: "It's the flower candle in the cave room, what are you going to do?" ”

As soon as she asked this, Ruojun understood, and sighed in her heart, although she had already pulled her hair into a bun and had the name of the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhou family, she was still a virgin, and looking at Rui'an's appearance, it was estimated that she would not really spend a candle in the cave room for the rest of her life, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer her sister's question.

Ruoli saw that she looked sluggish and depressed, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ruojun blushed and smiled: "Why did you ask such a girl, won't you know when you get married in the future?" ”

Wakari smiled, "I'm just curious." ”

Ruojun asked, "By the way, how are you reading?" You are the hope of our Mei family. Our Mei family has been a scholar for generations, and this generation is counting on you to become a talented woman and inherit the ancestral business. ”

Ruoli said proudly: "Hmph, I took the first place in the school this year, I have already thought about it, I will also be admitted to Peking University, so that I can watch Zhou Ruikang's speech every day." As he spoke, he stood on the ground and turned around, saying, "Sister, don't you think Zhou Ruikang is very attractive?" He is so gentle and polite in our house now, but you don't see how enthusiastic and combative he is when he speaks on the podium at school. ”

Ruojun remembered the scene in the carriage, her heart couldn't help beating faster, she still had the power from his palm on her waist, and she couldn't help but think repeatedly that she was about to break free of that moment, but he hugged herself hard again.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Ruoli pushed her, Ruojun came to her senses, Ruoli smiled again: "Sister, what was Zhou Ruikang like when he was at home?" What does he do at home? Does he also talk about the democratic revolution at home? ”

Ruojun saw her take a bite of Zhou Ruikang, and couldn't help but ask, "Girl, do you like Ruikang?" ”

Ruoli saw her ask, her face turned red, she grabbed Ruojun's arm and rested her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "If so, can you help me?" ”

Mei Ruojun's heart sank, Ruoli actually fell in love with Ruikang, but the scene in the carriage just now, what if Ruikang was really interested in him? Ah, no, no, Ruikang must not think anything about himself, otherwise both of them will be doomed. Thinking of this, Mei Ruojun looked at her sister again, Ruoli's face was innocent, very cute, although she was not born by a mother, but since she was a child, the two sisters have had a deep relationship, Ruojun can't refuse, she thought about it, Ruikang's character and appearance are rare, if her sister can have a happy marriage, she is naturally happy, she also has a selfish heart, that is, she hopes to borrow her sister's feelings, and cut off her unspeakable, unspeakable desire, so Ruojun smiled and nodded.
