Chapter 12 Coming Out of the Bush

Back at the house, the first thing Zhu Ran did was pour himself a cup of tea.

"Madam, are you very familiar with Lord Lin?"

The tea that Zhu Ran drank almost didn't squirt out, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Little Prince Lin!" Ruoyi replied.

Lin Xiaowangye? No wonder he was able to enter and leave Zhu Heyu's mansion at will, and recalled what happened just now in his head, Zhu Ran really regretted it.

Just thinking about it, I saw the water coming towards the house. "Madam, it's past noon, do you have dinner?"

"What are you so happy about?" Zhu Ran looked at Shui Xin's smile from ear to ear and asked curiously.

"There is still a month to go before the New Year's Festival, and the government has issued monthly silver in advance, which is twice as much as usual!"

"Oh!" Zhu Ran responded, but what he thought in his heart was that the New Year was approaching, and everyone in the palace must be busy buying New Year's goods, whether he could take the opportunity to sneak out of the house, and feel the excitement of the market. It just so happened that Zhu Heyu was out on the campaign, and no one seemed to care about her when she was not in the mansion.

Once such a thought arises in my heart, I can't suppress it.

The next day, Zhuran, Shui Xin, and Ruoyi all wore narrow sleeves and light yellow coarse cloth robes, and from the back door of the palace, they went out of the palace together with the people who bought them.

When they came to Kyoto Jonishi City, the three of them took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd again, and at this time they were completely free.

"Sugar man, ma'am, let's go buy it!" Shui Xin said, and before Zhu Ran could respond, his body had already shot out quickly.

After a while, Shui Xin came back with a handful of candy men, and saw Zhuran and Ruoyi eating steaming roasted sweet potatoes, and said with red eyes: "Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, give me a bite." ”

The three of them wandered around and ate all kinds of food on the street, such as rock sugar gourds, fried chestnuts with sugar, xiao long bao, etc. The stomach was full, and Fang felt frozen face and hands. Ruo Ruo went to the Miluo Pavilion to see the pearl hairpin fat powder according to the proposal, and the three of them were just about to cross the aisle, when a pure white strong horse galloped away despite the pedestrians on both sides of the road, and was about to fly in front of the three of them. The three of them were in the middle of the road again, in a dilemma, Zhu Ran pushed Ruoyi and Shui Xin in front of him to the side of the road without thinking, and it was too late to hide when he wanted to. His eyes widened and glared at the man on horseback, and he only heard a few simultaneous sounds at a time. There were the shouts and cries of Ruoyi and Shui Xin, the neighing of horses being forcibly stopped, and the cursing of riders.

I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, the person who rides the horse was originally Du Yuxuan, a well-known mixed son in Kyoto City, the eldest son of Du Yanzhuo, the prime minister of the dynasty. Zhu Ran was safe, but he was taken by Du Yuxuan and wanted to be forcibly taken back to the house.

Shui Xin was straightforward, and stepped forward and said: "You are so bold, you almost hurt our wife, and now you are speaking foul language, you... Do you know who our lady is? Shui Xin saw that Du Yuxuan's eyes were as cold as a torch, and he looked at himself fiercely, and his momentum suddenly lacked.

Du Yuxuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Even the county lord of this dynasty has to give Ben Gongzi some face, and Ben Gongzi has taken a fancy to her, and he has given her face. A woman in a coarse cloth skirt told me about her identity, and you can tell me what is the identity of the lady in your mouth? ”

"Our lady is Ruixin......" Zhu Ran drank the water to stop the water, and robbed the people in the main city of Kyoto under the bald sun, but no one dared to look at the pedestrians on both sides, and no one dared to care, which showed Du Yuxuan's power. What's more, this time he is out of the house without permission, if he shows his identity now, his clothes and words and deeds are inappropriate, in this place where there are many people, it will not take half a day for rumors to spread, and it will be bad for himself to turn his head back, it is better to ...... like this.

After thinking about it, he said to Du Yuxuan: "No matter what kind of identity I am, the son is making trouble and riding a horse wantonly, and he almost hurt me, and now he is not inferior, it is really against the gentleman's trip, it's a pity to ......" The rest of the words were deliberately not said.

"What is a pity?" Du Yuxuan asked impatiently.

Zhu Ran smiled, pretending to touch his head, but in fact, he looked at Ruoyi on the outermost side, and made a mouth shape with the word "Li" on his mouth. If you know, you sneak away while Du Yuxuan and others are not paying attention.

Zhu Ran saw that Ruoyi's figure was gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It's a pity that Prime Minister Du Cheng is full of talent and generosity, and he has no way to teach his son. ”

When Du Yuxuan heard this, he didn't get angry but laughed, "This is exactly what my son wants!" He waved his hand at the little guy beside him, "Take them back to the house for me." With a wave of his horsewhip, he continued to ignore the rampant domineering of passers-by on both sides.

A few small servants dragged the two of them, and did not walk towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, but walked towards a remote street.

"Madam......" Shui Xin looked at Zhu Ran with a crying voice. Zhu Ran held her hand, although she was also uneasy in her heart, she still smiled and comforted Shui Xin: "It's okay, Ruoyi will save us back." ”

Come to a remote but magnificent mansion. Shui Xin and Zhu Ran were locked up in the same room. Seeing Shui Xin in a hurry in the room, the uneasiness in Zhu Ran's heart was gone. Leaning on the edge of the soft couch, looking around the furnishings in the room. It's not as gaudy as I imagined, but I feel simple and exquisite. The window is a small carved railing window, and a pear flower wood case is placed next to the window, and there is nothing else on the case except for the four treasures of the study. The inner room and the outer room are separated by a hollow rosewood screen, through which the bamboo can faintly see the "Smoke and Rain Map" hanging on the west wall. Approaching to see what was going on, as soon as he put the painting into his eyes, Du Yuxuan pushed the door in, followed by two small girls, and before Du Yuxuan could speak, he dragged Shui Xin outward.

Shui Xin didn't care about his own safety, afraid that Zhu Ran would be insulted by Du Yuxuan, and struggled to shout to Du Yuxuan: "If you dare to bully my wife, I will die, and I will turn into a ghost to haunt you every day." ”

Seeing the truth in adversity, Zhu Ran's heart warmed, and then said to Du Yuxuan: "Du Gongzi won't be like a maid, you let her go, I am willing to follow you." ”

"Madame, don't, don't ......"

Du Yuxuan looked at Zhu Ran's refusal to speak, with a strange expression on his face, as if he was looking at Zhu Ran and Shui Xin's deep affection with cold eyes.

Listening to Shui Xin's voice blurryly getting farther and farther away from him, Zhu Ran was worried about her safety, but his face did not change.

"Ma'am?" Du Yuxuan asked rhetorically, leaning closer to Zhuran's face and taking a closer look.

Zhu Ran was disgusted, thinking that all men in the world are so despised, Hu Ren Wang Yunhe is like this, and now this Du Yuxuan is the same.

Du Yuxuan seemed to see Zhu Ran's thoughts, and said sarcastically: "Do you think this son is interesting to you?" ”

When Zhu Ran heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing, "What does that son mean?" ”

Du Yuxuan straightened up, his eyes hit the "Smoke and Rain Map" on the wall, and stared for a while.

Zhu Ran looked at him with a smug look on his face, and thought that he was proud of Zhang Lan's famous work. It's a pity that although this painting can be said to be seamless in the brushwork trajectory and style of depiction, it is a hundred dense and sparse, and the seal at the end of the paragraph has a great flaw. Zhang Lan can be said to be a weirdo, and all his Danqing seals must be printed on the lower left corner of the upper five fingers, no matter how large or small the paper size is. The small size of the painting is that the seal falls in the middle from the bottom left corner to the top five fingers, which may be felt by outsiders that the whole picture has been destroyed. However, the seal of this picture in Du Yuxuan's house falls right in the lower left corner.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't lose the opportunity to say it for a while." Du Yuxuan saw Zhu Ran's thoughts and said to Zhu Ran.

Zhu Ran moved his body, slightly distanced himself from Du Yuxuan, and then spoke softly: "I didn't expect that the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion would treat a fake as a treasure." ”

Hearing this, the cold light in Du Yuxuan's eyes turned away, and he asked Zhu Ran calmly: "How do you see that?" ”

I wanted to provoke him, but he was so abnormal, Zhu Ran replied stupidly: "Seal." ”

Du Yuxuan's next sentence surprised Zhu Ran, "I didn't expect Zhu Heyu's side concubine to be not an ordinary person." ”

Does he know who he is? I was suspicious in my heart, and I heard Du Yuxuan add: "It's a pity that I love to be too clever, this painting was copied by me when I had nothing to do, and I deliberately printed the seal below in order to distinguish it from the original." ”

When Zhu Ran heard him say this, he immediately felt that he had underestimated him, and thought that his gentlemanly behavior at this time seemed to come naturally from his bones, but why was he so arrogant and domineering on the street at the beginning?

Just thinking about it, a small guy hurriedly walked in, attached to his ear and didn't know what to say, only to see him show a wry smile, disappeared in an instant, waved his hand to the little guy and said, "Got it, you go down." Then he said to Zhu Ran: "The person who brought you is here, be happy!" ”

Zhu Ran estimated the time, Li Wenhai should come here to solve the siege. But I thought to myself, since he knew everything, brought himself here with great fanfare, and didn't make any outrageous moves to himself, what was he for?

"My maid Shui Xin ......" Zhu Ran was just about to speak, Du Yuxuan took over as if she knew what she was going to say: "The sneaker has sent her to the Ruixin Palace." He pushed the door open and walked out.
