Section 152 Chapter 145 (340 collections, one more chapter)

The opening ceremony has also come to an end, and Xiao Ruo is not interested, so he makes more arrangements for the rest of the things and enters his room alone.

"Hey, what's wrong with your woman? I was full of fighting spirit all day long, and just now I specially sent a bottle of jade cream to the daughter of Mr. Wu's family. Why did you come out of the Accord, and suddenly half of your whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and the fighting spirit just now was gone?! Jin Cong watched Xiao Ruo enter the house, leaned next to Lan Yucheng, bumped into him, and said.

Lan Yucheng was silent for a moment and said, "Wu Qianrou, I used to have a good relationship with Xiao Ruo. Perhaps, she knew about Wu Qianrou from Wu Zhirou's mouth, so she was a little sad. ”

"Wu Qianrou? The day before the wedding, the eldest lady of the Wu family whose fiancé drowned in the river in front of Goolan Street? Jin Cong asked with some gossip.

Only this time, Lan Yucheng didn't answer him.

Lan Yucheng knows that Wu Qianrou represents a friend, a best friend, and a unique confidant in Xiao Ruo's heart.

Over the years, he has carried out countless missions in Kyoto, although he and Wu Qianrou do not have much intersection. It's just that he naturally knows what Wu Qianrou has happened to him for so many years. He was also worried that if Xiao Ruo knew, he was afraid that she would be sad again. He was reluctant, but he was helpless about it.

Night has fallen, but Xiao Ruo has not been out since he entered the house. Even Xing Tao wanted to bring dinner into the house, but was refused.

There was no light inside, no crying. Lan Yucheng sat on the roof opposite the door of Xiao Ruo's room, looking at this. He had nothing else to do but wait silently now.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Ruo's door was opened.

Lan Yucheng never left, and at this time, he was quietly looking at Xiao Ruo.

The bun on Xiao Ruo's head is still the same as it was yesterday. Sure enough, she didn't sleep all night. It's just that the five-color brocade gold embroidered silk skirt has been replaced. Now I am wearing a newly made pink brocade silk robe. On that day, when the clothes were delivered, Xiao Ruo still thought that its color was too light and tender, which was not suitable for her current identity. Lan Yucheng couldn't understand why Xiao Ruo wore it on his body at this time.

Xiao Ruo walked out of his own door and walked straight to the next door, where Xiao Ruo specially prepared a room for Xing Tao.

"Apricot peach." Xiao Ruo stood at the door of Xingtao's room and shouted inside.

Although the clothes have been renewed, there is nothing to be seen in the expression. It's just the dark circles under his eyes, but he completely betrayed Xiao Ruo.

"Miss, you're finally out!" Xingtao couldn't bring dinner to Xiao Ruo's house last night, and she was already very worried. Now I am naturally happy to see my own lady standing in front of me. "Presumably Miss must be hungry now, right? The young lady went back to the house to rest for a while, and the slave maid went to order someone to bring the breakfast, and then waited for the young lady to wash. ”

Xiao Ruo shook his head and said, "Don't be busy, comb my hair for me first, prepare two snacks later, and follow me to Wu Mansion." ”

After speaking, Xiao Ruo turned around and went back to his room.

Xingtao hesitated slightly for a while, pulled a passing maid, told her to prepare snacks, and went to Xiaoruo's house.

Xing Tao combed Xiao Ruo's hair, looked in the mirror at a different young lady from the past, and asked with some concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Why do you suddenly want to go to Kure? ”

"Nothing, just going to visit a friend. Two snacks later, let people be more careful. After Xiao Ruo finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Xingtao wanted to continue asking, but when she saw Miss's expression, she opened her mouth, but she didn't say what was in her heart.

On the carriage to Wu's mansion, Xiao Ruo still didn't say a word. This made Lan Yucheng, who was next to him, very worried.

After entering the Wu Mansion, Mrs. Wu was not at home, and the maid at the second gate directly took Xiao Ruo to Wu Zhirou's courtyard.

Wu Zhirou heard that Jin Xiaoruo was visiting, and was slightly stunned, and after a few seconds, she remembered that Jin Xiaoruo was the boss of Ju Xia Building. How could she have thought that Xiao Ruo would come to visit on the second day.

"Boss Jin, I didn't expect you to come in person." Wu Zhirou's face did not hide her surprise at all.

"Actually, Xiao Ruo came over today, mainly to ask, Miss Zhirou thinks the jade cream is easy to use? After all, this thing will be used as the property of Ju Xia Lou in the future, so Xiao Ruo naturally wants to inquire about its efficacy. "Ever since Xiao Ruo decided to come to Wu Mansion, he has been making excuses for himself. Although this reason was obviously far-fetched, she couldn't care about it anymore.

"Oh?" Wu Zhirou was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Boss Jin's things, where is there anything bad?" Zhirou just used it early this morning, and I feel that my skin is much smoother! ”

"Since Miss Zhirou thinks that the jade cream is not bad, Xiao Ruo will send a few more bottles in the future. I hope that Miss Zhirou will continue to use it, so that all the women in Kyoto can see the wonders of the jade cream. This is just an excuse for Xiao Ruo to come often in the future.

"Really?" The price of the things produced by Ju Xia Lou will naturally not be cheap. Wu Zhirou was still worried, what would she do if she ran out in the future, her monthly silver was not enough for her to buy expensive things. Now Xiao Ruo's words are like gold falling from the world and smashing it on her head, Wu Zhirou was suddenly very happy, where would she think of why such a benefit was given to her.

"Of course." Xiao Ruo smiled, took two boxes of dim sum from Xing Tao's hand, and said, "Today is Xiao Ruo's first visit, here are two boxes of dim sum, which are for Miss Zhirou and Miss Qianrou." I wonder if she's getting better now? ”

"Zhirou also wanted to buy some new snacks for Sister Qianrou to taste in Ju Xialou, but I didn't expect Boss Jin to send them today." Wu Zhirou said with a smile, but then faded again: "Yesterday Zhirou went to see Sister Qianrou, and as usual, there was no improvement. ”

"Why don't you take Xiaoruo to meet Miss Qianrou!" Xiao Ruo said a little eagerly, and when she saw the uncertainty on Wu Zhirou's face, she smiled again to cover it up: "I don't know if it's convenient?" Hehe, Xiao Ruo just felt that if she could personally send the dim sum to Miss Qianrou, she must be happy, right? ”

"Okay, it just so happens that Zhirou hasn't seen my sister today, so Boss Jin will come with me!" With that, Wu Zhirou got up and took Xiao Ruo towards Wu Qianrou's courtyard.

"Sister, are you awake? Zhirou is here. Wu Zhirou entered the inner bed, and asked in a whisper through the bed curtain.

"Zhirou, why are you here so early today?" The man on the bed began to sit up slowly.

Behind the bed curtain, the familiar voice, the familiar figure, Xiao Ruo had a feeling of wanting to cry. But if she let it flow, now in full view, how can she explain it?

"Sister, do you remember what I told you yesterday about Boss Jin of Juxia Building? She specially brought snacks to visit her sister. Wu Zhirou opened the bed curtain with her own hands, and the woman on the bed was finally completely exposed to Xiao Ruo's eyes.

The curtain rolls in the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers. This is Xiao Ruo's first reaction when she sees her former friend Qianrou again.

Qianrou lying on the bed has long lost her dazzling look, her warm and fair face has become emaciated, and the green silk that was originally as soft as ink has long lost its luster. Where is his former friend Qianrou, because Xiao Ruo knows that Qianrou's eyes will not appear this kind of despair that makes people's hearts twist like knives at any time.
