There weren't many pedestrians around, and it looked dim and dark.

In the alley not far away, someone kept looking this way, and his eyes kept looking at the dark shadow in front of the restaurant, which looked like a flower shoot flowing in Beijing.

When the carriage came to a sudden stop, the people who were originally peeking over there were startled by the sound of the carriage, and instantly shrank into the shadows, and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Su Ruan's heart sank slightly, and he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and shouted: "Cheng'er? ”

The black shadow squatting in front of the restaurant hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw Su Ruan standing in front of the carriage, tears fell as soon as he "brushed".

"Little, Miss......"

Cheng'er was teary-eyed, and when she saw Su Ruan, she was startled at first, and then got up and ran over, and cried out with a "wow".

"Miss, where have you been, the slave has been waiting for you here, but I won't come to you no matter how I wait."

"Slave, slave maid thinks I lost you, slave maid thinks something happened to you, woo woo ......"

Su Ruan looked at the little girl who was wearing men's clothes but was crying like a cat, and hurriedly wiped her tears for her.

"I didn't lose it, I just had something to delay, so I was late."

"Why are you so stupid, you didn't wait for me to come back to you, you went back to the house and waited for me, why did you keep squatting here?"

Cheng'er sobbed: "Slave, slave and maid, slave and maid are afraid that the slave and maid will leave, and the young lady will not find me." ”

"And the young lady changed her clothes and came out to do it...... ...... who do bad things can't be called, let the house know that if the slave and maid go back, the young lady will be punished......"

Su Ruan couldn't cry or laugh at the little girl's words at first, but after hearing the words later, she was instantly stunned.

She looked up at Cheng'er, who was crying profusely, and saw that she was still holding a stack of rice paper in her hand, which she covered tightly, and the little girl took out an oiled paper bag from her arms while crying, and handed it to Su Ruan with tears in her eyes.

"Miss, your favorite chestnuts..."

"The slave has been in her arms, still warm ......"

Su Ruan looked at her stupid appearance, suddenly her eyes were slightly moist, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Cheng'er's cheek: "Stupid or not, it's good to buy chestnuts when they're cold, just wait like this, and I'm not afraid of freezing myself." ”

Cheng'er grinned and cried when she heard this: "The slave is tough, and it can't be frozen." ”

"How can there be anything that doesn't freeze?"

Su Ruan glared at her, reached out to take the thing in her hand, and touched the little girl's hand by the way, the tentacles were cold.

Su Ruan hurriedly pulled her into the carriage, and then took off the cloak and put it on her despite Cheng'er's struggle, rubbing her hands together while snorting hot air on her hands.

"Don't be so stupid in the future, if you can't wait for me, go back to the house first."

"It seems to be stable in this capital, but there are many bad people, you are so stupid, and you are not afraid that you will be caught and sold by the flower child, and you will not have time to cry when the time comes."

Cheng'er looked at Su Ruan rubbing her hands for her and grinned.

Su Ruan looked up and couldn't help but say, "What are you laughing at, you're really stupid?" ”

"The slave is not stupid."

Cheng'er grinned and showed a row of white teeth, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes: "Miss is so good to the slave." ”

Su Ruan stretched out his hand and poked her forehead, smiling a little: "It's good for you to warm your hands?" is so naïve, I'm afraid that I won't be sold and pay for others. ”

Cheng'er smiled when she heard this, but instead of refutating, she laughed stupidly.

……

The days of winter were already short, and when Jinbao sent Su Ruan to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, it was already completely dark outside.

When the carriage stopped in front of the door, after Su Ruan and Cheng'er got out of the carriage, Jin Bao said, "Miss Su, go slowly." ”

Su Ruan said: "Thank you for me, the fourth master, and you should be careful on the way back, the road is slippery when it's dark, don't go too fast." ”

Jinbao is delicate, although he is in his early twenties, he is still laughable with the childishness of a young man: "The villain knows, thank you Miss Su." Miss Su hurry up and go in, it's cold outside, and the villain is gone. ”

"Okay."

Jinbao drove away, and a gust of wind blew outside, and Su Ruan rubbed his arms.

Cheng'er hurriedly took the cloak and draped it on Su Ruan, and after tying it for her, the master and servant quickly entered the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

When he met the porter, the man was immediately relieved when he saw Su Ruan, and hurriedly greeted him and said urgently: "Sixth Miss, you can count it back, if you don't come back, the villain will take someone out to find you." ”

Seeing this, Su Ruan said, "What's wrong?" ”

"The eldest prince is back."

Su Ruan's feet stopped: "Big brother? Isn't he preparing for the exam in the country? ”

The small test I said before to choose a companion for the prince is the day after tomorrow, how did Xie Qingheng come back at this time.

The concierge didn't know the specific situation, but she knew that Xie Qingheng was looking for her everywhere, so she hurriedly entered the mansion and bumped into Cai Qian, who was standing in front of the door with an anxious face.

When Cai Qian saw Su Ruan, her face immediately turned happy, and she walked over quickly and said urgently, "Miss, you're back." ”

"What's wrong, why did the eldest brother come back?" Su Ruan frowned and asked.

Cai Qian hurriedly whispered: "It's for the Cao family's business." ”

"You and the sixth prince made a big fuss about the Cao family, I don't know who told the eldest prince, the eldest prince hurried back half an hour ago, he went to see the old lady for a trip, he wanted to see you, but you were gone."

"The eldest prince thought that after the old lady scolded you, you got angry, so you ......"

Cai Qian hurriedly stopped talking.

Su Ruan continued: "So I ran away from home?" ”

Cai Qian heard the words.

Su Ruan sighed lowly: "I just can't figure out some things, so I went to walk outside the house." What about the big brother? ”

"At the old lady's."

Su Ruan only felt that her head was a little big, she hadn't figured out how to coax the old lady Xie, and now there was another Xie Qingheng.

Su Ruan said to Cai Qian: "Cai Qian, you take Cheng'er back first, let her change her clothes, and then let the kitchen boil some ginger soup for her to dispel the cold, and I will go to Jintang Courtyard." ”

"The slave will accompany the young lady." Cheng'er hurriedly said.

Su Ruan patted her head: "No need, you go back quickly, I'll go by myself." ”

After sending Cai Qian and Cheng'er back, Su Ruan went to Jintang Courtyard alone.

When she arrived in the courtyard, Mother Liu was whispering something outside the door, and when she looked up and saw Su Ruan, she was suddenly surprised:

"Miss Six, are you back?!"

Mother Liu's voice was not small, and it instantly alarmed the people in the house.

After hearing only a sound of footsteps, the warm curtain hanging in front of the door was lifted.

Xie Qingheng walked out quickly with a look of urgency in his eyes, and when he saw Su Ruan standing outside the door, he was faintly relieved.

Xie Qingheng strode up to her, first glanced her up and down, made sure that there was no accident on her, and then said calmly:

"Where did you go, why didn't you say hello to the house when you went out? Is it that it took so long to come back and run into some trouble outside? I heard that you had a leg injury before, does it still hurt? ”
