Chapter 5 I haven't dreamed for a long time
Ruan Yu didn't expect to meet him here.
It was quite a surprise and a pleasant surprise.
There are not many people in Ruan Yu's way, the sisters in the palace are too lazy to deal with the reality, and the back house of the Marquis of Runan is even more fighting. She avoids people and has no friends.
Lu Ye is the only one she knows, someone who can barely be called a friend.
Strange, they've only met once.
Opposite Lu Ye is the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, who is kind and kind to the Maitreya Buddha in the main hall, and the two are discussing something. Ruan Yu thought to herself that since they were all old acquaintances, they had to come forward to say hello, so she planned to wait for them to finish talking about the matter before going over.
Lu Ye seemed to notice something and looked in Ruan Yu's direction.
Lu Ye's eyebrow bones and nose bridge are very straight, and the eye contours are deep and distinct. The pupils are pitch black, and when they look at people, they habitually have no expression, which looks a little cold and a little arrogant.
There is a kind of Lao Tzu's coolest momentum.
Ruan Yu hesitated, then walked over to say hello: "I didn't expect to meet Xilianghou here." ”
Lu Ye lowered his eyes to look at her, and lazily hooked his lips, "What a coincidence." ”
*
Is it a coincidence that Lu Ye knows very well in his heart, as long as the result looks coincidental.
Ruan Yu said hello to the abbot again, glanced at Lu Ye without saying anything, and said, "If you want to have something, I will ......."
"It's okay, where are you going?" Lu Ye looked at her.
"Next to it, there is a peach blossom forest." Ruan Yu pointed in the direction.
"Together?"
Ruan Yu was stunned, "...... Good. ”
*
The peach blossom forest is in the east of Xiangguo Temple, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are a large area, the blue sky and green mountains are in the distance, and the ancient temple with cigarettes curling in the distance.
Ruan Yu used to come here every year to have a look, I can't say why, I just felt down-to-earth and at ease, and then I persevered year after year.
"After you go back, will Xiao Yuanji embarrass you?" Lu Ye casually folded a peach blossom.
"Nope." Ruan Yu watched him hand over the flowers and looked at him hesitantly. Lu Ye smiled lightly, Ruan Yu felt that he didn't have to twist too much, so he took it, "He is recuperating from his injuries, how can he come to me." ”
"Are you happy or unhappy?" Lu Ye asked.
"Of course I'm happy." Ruan Yu had an unbelievable expression of "why do you ask such a thing", "Do I still expect him to come to me for trouble?" ”
Lu Ye held the tree with one hand, stopped and laughed, "That's not what I meant. Xiao Yuanji was injured by me, aren't you sad at all? ”
Ruan Yu: "......"
"I ...... I'm not sad, and I even feel very lucky. Ruan Yu bit her lip, "If he was just my cousin and he was injured, I might still be worried, but ......"
Ruan Yu pulled off a petal, lowered her head and smiled: "Are you thinking now: the most poisonous woman's heart?" ”
Lu Ye looked at her, "No." ”
The two continued on their way.
"What did you come to Xiangguo Temple to ask for?" Lu Ye asked.
"Ask the Bodhisattva to bless my father and mother with good health."
"Don't you ask for yourself?"
"Myself?" Ruan Yu looked at him in some surprise, and smiled indifferently, "Did the Bodhisattva save me?" ”
Lu Ye didn't speak, his eyes lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the hilt of the sword.
Ruan Yu asked curiously: "Master Hou also came to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings?" ”
The generals in her impression are divided into two kinds, either they are extremely unbelieving in ghosts and gods, but they are actually afraid of retribution. The other is an extreme belief, wishing that Yueyue would invite a monk to come to his home to do it, for fear of revenge from the ghosts, and for fear that his soul would fall into hell after his death. Some even escaped directly into the empty door in their later years and became monks.
Lu Ye is crazy and arrogant, and he is also afraid of retribution?
"It's not." Lu Ye denied it.
"Then you ......"
Lu Ye glanced at her and seemed to feel that there was nothing to hide, so he explained: "I brought the remains of some soldiers back to Beijing, and I was discussing the matter of excess with the abbot just now. ”
He said this in a nonchalant tone, as if he was just doing something ordinary.
However, Ruan Yu knew very well that generally the soldiers who died in the border areas would be buried on the spot, and the imperial court would give the families of the deceased a pension silver, even if they gave an explanation. Bothering to bring the corpses of soldiers back to Beijing like this, and then inviting monks to go over, at least not in this dynasty.
But if you insist on doing this, the court will not stop it, but it will not allocate funds to help you, and all expenses will be allocated from you.
Ruan Yu looked at Lu Ye in surprise. Lu Ye noticed her gaze, naturally leaned down slightly, approached her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Ruan Yu turned her head uncomfortably.
"Where are these soldiers you brought back buried?"
Lu Ye stood up straight, "They all live in the capital or the Zhili area. Their families have been notified to come and claim it. If no one claims it, they will be buried in the suburbs. ”
Ruan Yu took the initiative to say, "If you need any help, just come to me." ”
Lu Ye turned his head to look at the little girl, hooked his lips and smiled, "There is one now." ”
"Huh?"
"I'm going to visit the families of the fallen soldiers these days, some of them are the lowest and no ranks, and some of them have a little seniority, like centurions. If you have time, you may as well join me. You are a member of the royal family, and you can make the people feel the love of the royal family for the people, which is conducive to the reputation of the royal family. Second, for the people, it is also equivalent to a kind of comfort and glory. ”
"Okay." Ruan Yu agreed very happily.
Lu Ye smiled, "Is your illness okay?" ”
Ruan Yu pursed her lips and said, "My illness ...... As you can see, it's not to the point where you can't get out of bed and stand up, it's just that your body is a little weaker than normal. ”
Lu Ye lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, then nodded: "That's okay, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me." ”
*
Ruan Yu walked around and was about to leave, but Lu Ye said that the carriage was still at Xiangguo Temple and had not come, so he was too lazy to walk back, so he asked Ruan Yu to give him a ride by the way.
Ruan Yu casually agreed.
When they came, there were two carriages, one was Ruan Yu and Mingzhu Yingzhu, and the other was Qinzhu Caizhu. Lu Ye followed Ruan Yu into the carriage, and Yingzhu immediately wanted to go in, but was pulled down by Mingzhu.
"Let's stop making a fuss, let's go, sit down." Mingzhu pulled Yingzhu away.
The carriage regulated by the princess was spacious, but Lu Ye sat inside, and the man had long legs and suddenly looked a little cramped.
Not only the space, but also the atmosphere.
In the small space, the two faced each other, neither of them spoke, and the silence was a little weird. The sound of breathing, the rustling of clothes, the sight of each other...... These subtle details are magnified, and the air starts to get a little hot.
Ruan Yu felt too embarrassed, so embarrassed that she needed someone to break the atmosphere, but no maid came up for a long time, so she couldn't help but open the curtain and take a look.
Where is there a figure of a maid?
Ruan Yu had no choice but to put down the curtain and said to the groom, "Let's go." ”
The carriage moved, and the dust was flying.
"When are you going?" Ruan Yu touched her earlobe and looked at Lu Ye unnaturally.
Lu Ye smiled, "Tomorrow." Do you want to stand it for days on end? ”
When he was expressionless, he was very cold, and he didn't look very close, but when he laughed, the lazy temperament between his eyebrows and eyes began to spread outward, revealing a little ruffian.
This is also one of the reasons why Ruan Yu is awkward.
I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong.
"It should be fine. I'm not that delicate. Ruan Yu smiled.
Ruan Yujiao is not delicate, which can be seen from the fact that she fainted as soon as she quarreled with Xiao Yuanji, and her self-affirmation is not convincing. Lu Ye rubbed his fingers on his temples, smiling rather than smiling, "I only fainted once a few days ago." ”
"......," Ruan Yu's face froze, "It was an accident." ”
"Okay, accident." Lu Ye chuckled, "In order to prevent this kind of accident, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to take good care of your body." ”
*
Ruan Yu hadn't dreamed for a long time.
Occasionally, when I dreamed, I was in the dark, there was nothing, I couldn't get out, there was no light, and Ruan Yu stayed so bored until she woke up.
Today is different.
It seemed to be raining in my dreams.
Late at night, it was pouring rain.
The rain trickled down her face and dipped down her chin. She rode her horse, with someone holding her behind her, and they galloped through the rain.
Behind him is the city wall, and in front is the mountains.
Ruan Yu wanted to see the face of the person holding her, but at this moment, the carriage was upside down, and she woke up.
Ruan Yu was a little "I don't know where I am".
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye asked.
Ruan Yu lowered her head and rubbed her temples, her voice was tired, as if she had really been tossed in the heavy rain: "It's okay, I'm sleeping." ”
Lu Ye didn't speak.
Ruan Yu lifted the curtain, the wind outside poured in, she took two deep breaths, and the uneasiness and depression in her dream gradually dissipated. She saw familiar street scenes.
"I've arrived." Ruan Yu smiled and hung down the curtain, "Later, Master Liu will send you back to Xilianghou Mansion." ”
Lu Ye nodded and said yes.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Marquis Mansion of Runan, Ruan Yu got out of the carriage with her skirt, and Lu Ye followed down, holding her behind her back with a weak hand, and took it back when she landed.
"See you tomorrow." Ruan Yu said goodbye with a light smile, turned around and walked towards the house with the help of the maid.
Lu Ye stood in place, and he didn't get back into the car until the little girl walked in the door and the person was gone.
*
Ruan Yu rarely had a good mood, and she didn't care much about the face she lost in Xilianghou Mansion a few days ago.
Isn't it just a few words of discussion after dinner, love to say it, she can't hear it anyway.
A few maids went out to play for a while, and they were in a good mood, giggling all the way. As soon as the gate of the Jade Moss Courtyard was opened, several noisy little sparrows closed their mouths.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Yu looked into the courtyard.
Xiao Yuanji was sitting in the courtyard, his left arm clamped up with a wooden plank and hung around his neck. In his right hand, he is drinking a bowl of tea.
Ruan Yu's mood was like a running pony that fell into an ice cave.
Shaking.
Xiao Yuanji is really a person who has the ability to defeat people's interest. It's really not tiring to come to the door to find trouble when your arms are broken.
The smile on Ruan Yu's face disappeared and returned to his usual indifference. Mingzhu tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Why don't you go out and avoid it now?" ”
"What is there to avoid." Ruan Yu walked inside, "He has worked so hard to find trouble, I have to give him some face." ”
Mingzhu sighed.
Xiao Yuanji strained his face, and his right hand pinched the porcelain cup and gurgled until Ruan Yu approached, and he suddenly slammed the porcelain cup on the table.
Broken pieces of porcelain spilled out from the bottom of the bowl.
"Where have you been?"
Ruan Yu looked at him coldly and became angry, "When will Princess Ben's trip be reported to you?" ”
Xiao Yuanji gritted his teeth, "You still want to hide it from me during your tryst with Lu Ye?" No, you didn't want to hide it at all, the two of them came back in a carriage and swaggered goodbye at the door? I'm afraid that others won't know that you have an adulterer, right! ”
Ruan Yu looked at him expressionlessly, feeling that Xiao Yuanji had been crazy recently.
In the past, I came to Yumoss Courtyard three or five times a year to make trouble, but it was restrained outside. Now not only is he making trouble in the house, but he also has to go outside to embarrass people.
"Keep your mouth clean." Ruan Yu frowned in disgust, "Where I go, what I do, or who I associate with has nothing to do with you. Weigh who you are before you get angry. ”
Xiao Yuanji's face was distorted, and he grabbed Ruan Yu's wrist: "I'll tell you my identity now, I'm your husband!" Do you know that a husband is a wife! You have to do what I want you to do, and you are not allowed to do anything I don't allow you to do! Have you considered my feelings with the person surnamed Lu? I haven't touched you in how long we've been married! You fell into the arms of that surnamed Lu as soon as you fell! ”
The man was strong, Ruan Yu shook it twice and couldn't break free, and was stimulated by Xiao Yuanji's words, and his usual temper of retracting and retracting it could no longer be contained.
Ruan Yu raised her chin slightly, looked at Xiao Yuanji with contempt, and her voice was as cold as if she had been immersed in cold water: "Xiao Yuanji, please don't play this kind of affectionate drama with me, I'm disgusting." We said at the beginning that the well water would not interfere with the river water, and no one should force anyone. You may be so proud of the wind and moon field that those women hold you, and you forget your shape, so that you think I am as rare as you. Unfortunately, there is no such thing. ”
In Xiao Yuanji's stunned moment, Ruan Yu withdrew his hand and wiped his wrist with a handkerchief.
"I didn't let you touch me before, and I still won't."
Putting down this sentence, Ruan Yu didn't go back into the house.
