"What did you say?"

Ruan Yu raised her face and looked at him curiously.

Lu Ye lowered his head, "I asked the people around me, she just said how many taels I gave." People say thirty taels. So I asked the woman to pay me the extra hundred and seventy taels, so that my reputation for this deduction might be fulfilled. ”

Ruan Yu's eyes widened in surprise, "I didn't expect ......"

"What didn't you expect?"

Ruan Yu suddenly felt happy in her heart, didn't hold back, and laughed out loud. She hadn't smiled like this for a long time, so that the muscles in her face were a little uncomfortable and stiff.

Ruan Yu rubbed her face, "You still ...... It's pretty impressive. ”

The little girl's fingers are thin and white, and there is a pair of them on her face, her eyes are crooked with a smile, and the corners of her eyes are slightly upturned, and she has a kind of obedient and soft temperament.

Lu Ye was a little distracted.

There are some things in my heart that I can't touch them, and when I touch them, they all run out.

Soft mess.

*

The two walked for a while, and suddenly a man's voice sounded: "Lu Ye? It's you, Lu Ye? Eh, I'm Daiki! ”

Ruan Yu stopped in amazement and saw a man in the distance put down the cart and ran towards here while waving.

He was about the same height as Ruan Yu, his skin was tanned, and he wore a cloth around his neck to wipe his sweat, and he wore short linen clothes and dirty shoes.

Ruan Yu looked at Lu Ye with a suspicious face.

Is this an acquaintance of yours?

As the saying goes, there are three poor relatives in the imperial court. It is not strange to have acquaintances, it is strange that this person is so bold that he dares to call the name of Xilianghou.

There are few people in the entire court who dare to call the name of the Marquis of Xiliang.

Lu Ye frowned lightly and watched Dahui run over.

Dahui stopped and wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled to reveal a mouth full of yellow teeth, "Look at the grandeur of this body!" I can't even admit it! Dahui stretched out a dirty hand and patted Lu Ye vigorously, but Lu Ye didn't hide.

"You're a good boy! Your father and mother are going to regret dying......"

Lu Ye's eyes were cold, and he changed the topic: "Why are you here?" ”

"Me?" Dahui sighed, "The crops at home are sluggish, so I came to the capital to find a job." I'm like you, so lucky, I've become a marquis. Tut-tut, I think we grew up on a ridge, why didn't I have such a good life as you! ”

Dahui's eyes purred, staring at Ruan Yu up and down, looking at Ruan Yu and taking a step towards Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu hid back in disgust.

Just as Lu Ye came over, he blocked Dahui strictly, and did not allow Dahui to lean on Ruan Yu again.

Dahui swallowed his saliva unsatisfactorily, and smiled obscenely: "This is your mother-in-law?" ”

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes with a cold expression.

"Gotta get it," Daiki waved his hand unhappily, but he had to laugh at the thought that he had something to ask for, "Well, I'll tell you the truth." Actually, I wanted to go to the Hou Mansion to find you. But I'm afraid that the threshold of your Hou Mansion is too high, and you won't wait to see us rough people, and when the time comes, you will be gray. Hehe, now that I've met you, I can't help but be cheeky with you. ”

Dahui pretended to sigh, "You can also see that I'm like this now, it's enough to support myself!" Not to mention marrying a daughter-in-law and honoring your father. If it's convenient for you, I'll arrange for an official to do it......"

"It's inconvenient." Lu Ye's refusal was not muddy at all.

Dahui was stunned for a moment, anxious: "Why is it inconvenient?" You have come back from Liangzhou, who in the capital does not stammer you? If you're willing to help me, it's just a matter of words. ”

Lu Ye sneered and did not speak.

Dahui's heart is not dead, "Really? ”

"Nope."

Dahui secretly rolled his eyes and muttered something, Ruan Yu didn't hear it clearly, but he could guess it.

Ruan Yu knew that she was not suitable to speak on this occasion, but if she didn't say it, Lu Ye would definitely not say it. Daiki is definitely going to stalk and play scoundrels.

"Those who bribe officials to seek official positions will have their property confiscated and sentenced to five years in prison according to the Dazhao Law." Ruan Yu asked, "Are you prepared?" ”

Daiki: "......"

"Really?"

"If you don't believe me, give it a try." Ruan Yu smiled.

Where did Dahui dare to try, he laughed, and said after a while: "Then if you don't want to be an official, you can always go to your Hou Mansion to do things, right?" Don't be too tired, just have food, shelter and money. ”

*

There was incense in the carriage, and it smelled faint and good. Ruan Yu sat opposite Lu Ye, Lu Ye closed his eyes, the back of his head rested against the wall, and his chin raised slightly.

Ruan Yu could see that he was not in a good mood.

But he just quietly put his emotions into it and didn't say a word.

Lu Ye finally agreed to Daiki. Ruan Yu didn't know if Dahui really had any friendship with him, but her intuition told her that she wouldn't. If there really were, Lu Ye would not be in his current state.

Ruan Yu is not easy to take care of other people's private affairs. But Dahui's person doesn't look reliable, but arranging to be a small guy in the house shouldn't be able to make any waves.

So what is Lu Ye unhappy about?

"What do you keep watching me do?" Lu Ye opened his mouth coldly, and his tone was slow and leisurely.

Ruan Yu was taken aback, does this person have eyes on his forehead? With her eyes closed, she knew she was looking at him.

"Me? No, I don't. Ruan Yu was quibbling.

Lu Ye opened his eyes, stared at her for a while, and smiled.

A "I know you're lying, but I don't debunk" expression.

Ruan Yu: "......"

In order to hide her embarrassment, Ruan Yu lifted the curtain and looked outside, while asking, "Where are you going tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow," Lu Ye turned the jade pendant, "you rest at home." ”

Ruan Yu was stunned: "Why?" ”

Lu Ye looked at her and didn't speak.

"You think I'm bad?" Ruan Yu asked with a little difficulty. She was indeed a little impulsive today, because her temper, to be honest, was not very good. After all, I was pampered and raised since I was a child.

Lu Ye shook his head, "No." ”

"That's ......" Ruan Yu stopped suddenly, it was not her habit to get to the bottom of it, so she simply didn't ask.

It doesn't matter if she's impulsive, or if she has no hidden feelings, the final result is the same anyway.

She is not needed anymore.

Sure enough, she is still suitable for finding a place to hide, she doesn't care about anything, and she is quiet and quiet.

Ruan Yu wanted to speak and stopped, but the unhappiness between her eyebrows and eyes was still obvious.

Lu Ye: "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"Huh?" Ruan Yu looked over blankly.

Under the weather. Yes, I started to feel uncomfortable as soon as I entered Nanpai Lane. But feeling uncomfortable is like "smelling it for a long time and not knowing its smell", and you don't feel it very numb.

After Lu Ye's reminder, the pain began to recover.

Ruan Yu frowned and rubbed her heart, taking a deep breath, "A little." ”

"I think it's more than a little." Lu Ye poured a bowl of water and handed it to her, "Drink the water slowly." ”

Ruan Yu took it and drank a bowl of water, feeling that her heart was not so blocked.

Lu Ye sighed, leaned forward, clasped his arms with his hands on his knees, and raised his fingers: "It's not that I think you're bad, you're doing a good job." I won't let you go, just because your body can't bear it. ”

Ruan Yu blinked slowly.

Lu Ye's pupils were pitch black, his eyelashes were short but dense, the bridge of his nose was thin and straight, and the light cast from the right side, and there was a faint shadow on the left side.

"What is the disease, can you tell me about it?"

*

After Ruan Yu got out of the carriage, she was no longer very stable in walking, and was helped into the house by the maid, and took a sedan chair all the way to the Jade Moss Courtyard.

When she arrived at Jade Moss Temple, she found someone waiting for her.

It's not Xiao Yuanji, after the incident yesterday, Xiao Yuanji may not want to see her for a long time. The person who came was Ruan Yu's brother, Ruan Lang.

The emperor has many heirs, but only she and Ruan Lang are born. Ruan Lang was crowned crown prince at the age of fifteen, and his status has been as stable as a rock for many years.

Ruan Lang is handsome and always shows people with a smile, no matter who he treats. Ruan Yu knew that his brother was not as harmless as he looked, but on the contrary, unfathomable.

When Ruan Yu was a child, he still liked him very much, but the more he grew up, the more afraid he became.

Ruan Lang always gave her a feeling that I could see through you with one look.

Her thoughts, her secrets, her love and hatred were all exposed in front of Ruan Lang. Whether to demolish it or not, in what way, it just depends on Ruan Lang's mood.

But one thing cannot be denied, Ruan Lang is indeed very good to her, after all, she is his only sister.

Ruan Yu sighed, walked up to Ruan Lang and shouted "brother".

Ruan Lang smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and probed her forehead, frowning: "It's a little burning." ”

Ruan Yu smiled bitterly and touched his forehead, it was quite hot, "No wonder I have a headache." ”

Mingzhu helped Ruan Yu to go to bed to rest, and then went out, leaving only the brother and sister in the house.

"Where?" Ruan Lang asked.

Ruan Yu wanted to laugh every time she heard this kind of question.

Where she went, Ruan Lang had already inquired clearly, but she had to ask pretending to be every time.

Ruan Yu was not interested: "Nanpai Lane." Together with Xilianghou, he went to visit the families of the soldiers. ”

Disposable. Explain it cleanly.

Ruan Lang was stunned and was silent for a while without speaking.

"Why did you suddenly get together with Xilianghou?" Ruan Lang slowly pinned a lock of Ruan Yu's hair behind her ear, and said with a smile: "Don't you like to get involved in outside things?" ”

Ruan Yu looked at him calmly.

Ruan Lang withdrew his hand and smiled casually.

"It's meaningless, I really don't like to mix it up. But if it's meaningful and I can do it, I'm willing to do it. Does my brother want me to shrink here for the rest of my life and not go anywhere? ”

Ruan Yu's words were sharp, staring directly at Ruan Lang. Ruan Lang didn't expect her sister to speak so directly, she was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly regained her composure.

"Where? If you're willing to go out for a walk, that's fine. It's just that Xilianghou is a man, and you will inevitably be gossiped about when you interact with him. I'll go back and talk to Motoyoshi and ask him to take you out for a walk. ”

"Don't." Ruan Yu glared at him, "I won't go out with him." ”

Ruan Lang smiled, "Okay, don't go out with him." Then I asked Ying'er to accompany you? ”

Ying'er is Ruan Lang's crown princess, Guo Ying.

Ruan Yu frowned impatiently, his hand clutched a corner of the quilt tightly, and his fingers turned white, "I don't want to see anyone, whether it's Xiao Yuanji, Guo Ying, or you, I don't want to see anyone." ”
