Chapter 11: Eating

Yun Niang has always been a girl with a high vision, before Xiao Ruyu and Han Yixuan came to Changxia Village, she didn't embroider lotus

Eye. First, those men in Changxia Village are not particularly outstanding, she really can't look down on them, there is nothing to fight for. Second, although Xiuhe looks good, she has a simple idea and a simple mind, and she can't compete for her, so she has always been very relaxed and comfortable.

Since Xiao Ruyu came, her thoughts began to change. She found that many things were out of her control, and the girls in the village no longer revolved around her and Xiuhe, but valued Xiao Ruyu more and more. She had wanted to deal with her for a long time, even if there was no Mr. Han, she would not let her have a good time, not to mention that this Mr. Han was the person she liked.

With his talents, I believe that there will definitely be a greater future in the future, as long as she masters him well after marrying him, her good life in the future will not be far away. But Xiao Ruyu ruined all this, and she was very unwilling.

The girls in the village are confused, but she is not confused. The happy and gentle expression on the face of the gentleman in the new cotton coat could not hide from her, she knew that the gentleman was tempted. I was tempted by the man who made him cotton clothes.

During this period of time, she has been knocking on the side to ask who made the cotton clothes for her husband, and even she went to the old lady who washed the clothes for her husband to see that the stitches, that way, only Xiao Ruyu can make it.

She had been secretly observing them for a long time and knew that they had an ambiguous relationship. She couldn't let it go on and had to let them die before they could see each other's feelings clearly.

It's not that I didn't want to cook raw rice with my husband, but my husband is usually very cautious, except for talking more to Xiao Ruyu and letting her into the house, she doesn't care much about other people at all, and she has never found a suitable opportunity.

Since it doesn't work from Mr., she can only start with Xiao Ruyu, a cruel sneer appeared on her lips, Xiao Ruyu, you can't blame me, who let you get in my way.

When my sister got in my way, I pushed her into the water and drowned with my own hands, you got in my way, how could I let you go so easily? With a sneer, Yun Niang turned to leave.

The next day, Xiao Ruyu came to the intersection outside the village early with the embroidered wedding dress, and Han Yixuan was already waiting for him there. It was very cold, and he had been waiting there for a while, and now he was completely frozen.

"Let's go." Han Yixuan nodded at her coolly, and raised his feet to leave.

"Wait." Xiao Ruyu took out a paper bag from her arms, opened the paper bag, and a sweet potato with heat and fragrance was lying there. "Sir hasn't eaten yet, has he? Let's eat a sweet potato mat first. Xiao Ruyu smiled and held the sweet potato, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Thank you." Han Yixuan's heart warmed, and he took the sweet potato and slowly peeled it and ate it. He really hadn't eaten in the morning, and his stomach screamed when he smelled the sweet potato just now, and he couldn't refuse her kindness. It was as if he couldn't refuse her smile.

After eating sweet potatoes, the two of them walked side by side, the atmosphere on the road was a little dull, and Xiao Ruyu wanted to say something.

"Sir, thank you for coming with me, you saved me last time, and you helped me again this time, I don't know how to thank you." Xiao Ruyu was telling the truth. She also felt lonely in this village, although Widow Ding and the villagers were very kind to her, she always felt as if something was missing, and Han Yixuan's arrival made up for this shortcoming.

"Miss Xiao is polite, you also helped me." Han Yixuan turned his head and glanced at her, turned around and continued to walk forward.

"It's just a gesture, it's just a gesture." Xiao Ruyu snorted and shook her head with a smile.

"Miss Xiao is not from Changxia Village either?" Han Yixuan had heard for a long time that Xiao Ruyu was not a local.

"It's not. My hometown was hit by a disaster, and I fell into the water in a boat and came here after being washed away. Xiao Ruyu looked a little sad when she said this, maybe she remembered her relatives who were killed.

"Are there any other relatives in the family?" Han Yixuan wanted to come over and comfort her, but he just paused slightly, and then continued to walk casually.

"No more. What about you? Xiao Ruyu sighed and asked rhetorically. She knew that there were relatives in this body, but it wasn't hers, so she sighed.

"Me?" Han Yixuan was stunned for a moment, how to answer? Are those his relatives? "Not anymore." Han Yixuan silently bowed his head and said in a deep voice. The mother is dead, and the others are like enemies for the sake of glory and wealth.

"Then we can be considered to be sympathetic." Xiao Ruyu didn't look at him, she felt that what he said was not the truth. But the grief in his tone struck her, and she decided not to discuss the oppressive topic anymore.

The two walked like this, chatted casually when they thought about it, and soon arrived at the county seat. When he came to the gate of the house, Xiao Ruyu stopped. She looked at Han Yixuan with some uneasiness, "Is Mr. waiting for me here?" I'll go in myself. She was afraid that Han Yixuan would misunderstand and be a little unwilling.

Han Yixuan nodded, he didn't plan to go in, looking at the tall gatehouse, looking at the pair of stone lions at the door, looking at the big red gate, he had a familiar feeling, that feeling made him very depressed, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.

The past days flashed in his mind like pictures, his unwillingness, his humiliation, and his ideals seemed to float from afar, making him crazy and want to escape.

He has been convincing himself for a while that he has reached this point, there is no need to think about anything anymore, he thinks that he has convinced himself that he will continue to live peacefully like this. But now he found that deep in his heart, there was no moment of relaxation, no moment of giving up, he was unwilling, really unwilling. He could have had all of this, but now he can't even afford an ordinary jade bracelet. He felt sorry for the people who paid for him, and even more sorry for himself.

Seeing Xiao Ruyu walk into the red gate, he turned around and came behind the stone lion, avoiding the eyes around him, closing his eyes to calm the unwillingness surging in his chest.

Xiao Ruyu soon came out of the gate, checking the silver taels in her sleeves, her face was with a faint joy, her steps were also very brisk, the embroidery work was handed in smoothly, the silver was successfully obtained, and her independent courtyard was getting closer and closer.

didn't see Han Yixuan at the door, Xiao Ruyu felt a little strange. She kept looking around, and finally saw him behind the lion. "Sir, how did you hide here? Isn't it cold? ”

"Sort of." Han Yixuan smiled dryly and patted the non-existent dust on his body, "Are your things done?" ”

"Hmm. The embroidery work was handed in, and the money was obtained. Xiao Ruyu was very happy, she looked at the sun, it was almost noon, "Sir, in order to thank you for accompanying me, I invite you to lunch." ”

"No, I'm just doing it with my hands." Han Yixuan hurriedly waved his hand, this time he was willing to come, he wanted to repay her love, how could he let her have a treat, besides, it was not easy for her to earn money, I don't know how many times to prick her fingers to embroider a dowry.

"Go ahead, sir. If you don't go, you're looking down on me. Xiao Ruyu walked up to him and looked at him very seriously.

Han Yixuan surrendered, how could there be such a thing? If he doesn't go, it's too ignorant to lift. But he made up his mind in his heart, no matter what he ate for a while, he would have to pay for silver, and since he was a child, he had not let a woman take out silver to invite guests.

The two came to a tavern side by side, and Xiao Ruyu found a table by the window and sat down. Although the appearance of a young man and woman in the store was a little abrupt, fortunately, there were not many people, and almost no one noticed.

The shopkeeper came over to order, and Xiao Ruyu asked Han Yixuan to order. Han Yixuan had never eaten in such a place, and he didn't know what to order for a while, so he shook his head and let Xiao Ruyu make an idea.

Xiao Ruyu asked for two bowls of beef noodles, added a meat dish and a vegetarian dish, and saw that it was almost over, so let Xiao Er go down and prepare.

After waiting for a while, the guests began to walk in an endless stream, and the hall suddenly became lively. Xiao Ruyu and the others fortunately came one step earlier, otherwise they would not have occupied such a good position.

Neither the noodles nor the dishes came up, the two were a little awkward, and Han Yixuan turned his head to look at the furnishings in the tavern. Xiao Ruyu listened to the gossip with his ears sideways. You must know that the teahouse and restaurant are the places with the most gossip, she has been living in Changxia Village, whether it is on the rivers and lakes, or in the official mansion, she doesn't know anything with dark eyes.

From everyone's discussion, she knew that this was the fief of King Ping of the Great Qin Dynasty.

King Ping is the second son of the current emperor, and the current emperor Chengqing Emperor has many sons, but only seven survived. The adult has five sons, the eldest prince, who is born to the queen and is the favorite son of today.

King Ping is an ordinary palace maid, among the four adult princes, he is not as capable as the prince who is loved by the emperor, and he is not as outstanding in military achievements as the third prince and the fourth prince Yingwang, and he is not as strong as the ninth prince and the eleventh prince with strong foreign support, nor as the fourteenth prince and the fifteenth prince who are protected and loved by the emperor because they are young, so among the adult princes, his fief is the poorest and the least numbered.

King Ping was the first of all adult princes to be driven to the fiefdom, and he was also the only adult prince who had no son, I heard that he had seven daughters, all of whom were as beautiful as flowers, but unfortunately, no son was his hard wound. But because of this, he became the prince who was the least threatening to the throne.

Listening to the gossip of the royal family with a smile, maybe the jurisdiction of King Ping is loose, so the common people dare to discuss the news of the royal family in private. But this is only a superficial phenomenon, or this is just a phenomenon that the imperial court is willing to let the common people know, so these remarks are not restricted.

"Brother Wang, have you heard? The assassination of the crown prince may be dangerous. A middle-aged man who looked a little thin whispered to the fat man opposite, the two of them were sitting at the next table, Xiao Ruyu They could hear it clearly.

"Really? Why haven't you heard of it? Then what if..., who do you say the emperor will choose? The fat man leaned in and whispered in surprise, the expression on his face a little serious.

"It's hard to say, but it's definitely not King Ping and King Ying, it's hard to say the rest, it seems that the capital is going to be chaotic." The thin man touched his beard and nodded, his eyes full of worry.

"Why don't you choose the King of England, King Ping, I know, there is no son, what is the reason for the King of England?" The fat man asked strangely, and the man brought a jug of wine, and he took it with a frown.

"Brother, you know better than my brother in the capital, tell me..." poured a glass of wine for the thin man, and the fat man looked around cautiously before approaching him and asking in a low voice.

"Actually, it's not a secret, have you ever heard of the Yingrui controversy?" The thin man asked in a whisper.

The fat man shook his head, the thin man took a glass of wine and drank it all, his eyes swept around, and he approached the thin man and whispered something,

Xiao Ruyu didn't hear it.

"Guest, your face is ready." The man put the two bowls of noodles on the table and said to Xiao Ruyu enthusiastically. Xiao Ruyu nodded, Han Yixuan's expression was a little strange, his brows were furrowed, and his hands on the table were clenched tightly.

"Sir, this place is far away from the Tiangao Emperor in the capital, it shouldn't affect it, you don't have to worry." Xiao Ruyu looked at him like this, guessing that he might be worried that the capital would be affected if it was chaotic. Sure enough, I have read books, and I think about the long term.

"That's right. It's that I'm thinking too much. Loosening his brows, Han Yixuan smiled self-deprecatingly. The capital is chaotic, and it has nothing to do with itself. Since coming here, he has no connection with it.

"Try the beef noodles here, it should look good." Xiao Ruyu smiled and pushed a bowl of noodles in front of him, and handed him a pair of chopsticks that had been scalded with hot water by the way.

"Thank you." Han Yixuan stretched out his hand to take it, and sighed in his heart at Xiao Ruyu's carefulness and thoughtfulness. The two began to eat noodles, and neither of them said a word.
