Chapter 115: The Covenant of the White Head
"Don't talk about this, I have the opportunity to invite Yu Xianggong to our Nansha Island to eat Yangtze River fish! Our Nansha Island is closer to Nanjing. Before Xu Hai's words fell, Yu Ren heard footsteps behind them.
Yu Ren turned his head. Seeing that it was Li Ying who came over with Ying'er.
When Xu Hai saw Li Ying coming over, he made an excuse and turned around and left.
Li Ying came to Yu Ren's side, and Ying'er stood far away. This time, there were no outsiders, Li Ying returned to her daughterly state, and the domineering spirit of Fang Cai as a leader and the coldness revealed when killing people all disappeared.
Yu Ren was a little unaccustomed to it, and he even felt that the Li Ying in front of him was no longer the Li Ying he knew before. He began to miss more and more the days when they used to be in Fujian. That Li Ying is frank and kind, although she has no power or power, but she likes Yu Ren even more. But the person in front of him, although he was rich and powerful, Yu Ren felt that he was getting farther and farther away from her.
"Am I still going to come back to me?" Li Ying said with a half-coquettish voice.
"Why?"
"What do you say! That Miss Zhao is beautiful and has a good family background, so she is naturally a hundred times stronger than me. Li Ying said sourly.
Yu Ren laughed, "To be honest, I also think Miss Zhao is better than you." At least she won't be as jealous as you are.
Unfortunately, I don't have a chance! People are already famous people! Therefore, I can only settle and ask for your little vinegar bottle! ”
Li Ying heard Yu Ren praise Zhao Rui at first, and her heart became even more sour. However, when she heard Yu Ren's words, her heart suddenly rejoiced. Only then did she know that Zhao Rui already had a husband's family. So a boulder that I put in my heart finally fell.
"Who's the little vinegar bottle! I don't care about you! Which woman are you good with, and what does it have to do with me. Who am I? ”
"Whoa, whoa! It was also said that it was not a vinegar bottle. ”
Li Ying blushed and lowered her head, but her heart was sweet.
"Ying'er, I'll discuss something with you!" Yu Ren suddenly said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Li Ying asked. She thought that Yu Ren had provoked someone outside again.
"I want to go home early, so that I can explain to my father about you and me. When the time comes, you can officially propose to your father. What do you think? ”
Li Ying suddenly heard Yu Ren talk about the proposal, and she liked it, but she was a little uneasy. After all, her background and Yu Ren's family can be said to be the relationship between soldiers and bandits, and for this, it has always been her least confident.
"But will your father agree to our marriage?"
"Rest assured. Isn't there still someone in your hometown in Zhangzhou! When the time comes, I will ask my father to send someone to your hometown to propose marriage. Just say that your family is a squire in Zhangzhou. As for your father, you can also find someone to replace him temporarily! ”
Li Ying thought about it and nodded in agreement. Now it seems that this is the only way to do it. If Li Ying's true identity is told to Yu Ren and his father, he is afraid that his father will soon call officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them.
"If we're like this, it's not a private life!" Li Ying suddenly lay on Yu Ren's back and whispered.
"What a private life! It's called free love! Yu Ren shouted.
Li Ying's face turned red, and she hurried to see Ying'er not far away. Fortunately, Ying'er seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn't pay attention to the flirting between Miss and Yu Ren.
"Ah, dead man! You can't just be quiet! Let Ying'er hear, how embarrassing! Li Ying said as she squeezed Yu Ren's arm heavily.
"That! When are you going to go? Li Ying asked.
"The sooner the better! I'm worried, too! Such a good wife, what if I start late and am robbed by others! Yu Ren said half-jokingly.
"Then I'll send a boat to take you back to Nanjing tomorrow!"
"I have to go back to Hangzhou. My scholar Cao An is still in Hangzhou! I went back, if I left him alone in Hangzhou, I was afraid that I would be scolded when I went home. Yu Ren said. In fact, he was because if he didn't bring Cao An, he wouldn't be able to find his home at all. Now he is now, if he didn't have Cao An's guidance, even if his father was standing beside him, he wouldn't be able to recognize him.
It's just that he can't say these words to Li Ying.
"That's okay too. Anyway, that Liao Shixiang in Hangzhou shouldn't dare to embarrass you anymore now. I'll send someone to send you to Hangzhou first, and then go back to Nanjing along the canal. Li Ying still insisted on sending a boat to send Yu Ren back. In fact, she also has her deep meaning in this arrangement.
After all, Zhao Rui is still in Hangzhou. Although Yu Ren said that Zhao Rui already had a husband's family. But if you have a husband, there is no threat? Even if you get married, you can still remarry! The world is not the same as it used to be. There are very few people like the Zhu family in Ningbo Prefecture. In today's Ming Dynasty, it is common for women to remarry.
The two were chatting, and they saw Ying'er walking over with Uncle Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi came to report to Li Ying about the public trial meeting. Since the convention is over, many people are going back. Li Ying is the master, so everyone naturally has to come and say goodbye to her. However, after looking around the venue, he didn't see Li Ying's figure, so Xiao Qi had to come to find it in person.
Li Ying had no choice but to go with Xiao Qi to see off everyone, but she did not force Yu Ren to go with her. Because she had also seen Yu Ren's thoughts, he still didn't like to mix with these big bosses. Li Ying didn't want to force Yu Ren to do something he didn't like.
After sending everyone off, it was almost dark. Others did not go back because they lived far away, but stayed on the island for the night. Li Ying doesn't have to worry about these trivial matters. Therefore, as soon as she sent everyone off, she ran back to accompany Yu Ren.
But Yu Ren was never happy because he couldn't forget the massacre during the day. Early the next morning, he left Daqushan by boat and returned to Hangzhou.
Yu Ren first went to the mountains outside the city to find Cao An, ready to tell him about going home. But Xu Fatzi told him that Cao An hadn't come for two days. asked him where Cao An went, Xu Fatzi didn't know, but said that Zhao Rui sent someone to call Cao An the day before yesterday, and he didn't come back since.
Yu Ren had no choice but to go to the Yunjian Teahouse to find it.
As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Zhao Rui's personal maid Huanyun'er, who was about to go out. When Yun'er saw Yu Ren, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Yu Ren's sleeve, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
"Miss, Miss, Yu Xianggong is back."
Zhao Rui heard that Yu Ren was back, so she hurriedly ran down from upstairs. Behind her was Cao An.
As soon as Cao An saw Yu Ren, he shouted, "Young Master, you're back." The family sent a letter to say that the old man was sick and asked you to hurry home! ”
Yu Ren suddenly heard the news and couldn't help but be taken aback. But he was still calm, so he told Cao An to pack his luggage immediately and set off for home now.
Fortunately, there was a special ship sent by Li Ying this time, so they didn't need to find another ship. Cao An's luggage had already been packed.
Zhao Rui personally sent the two to the dock, and only when the boat was gone did she go back to the teahouse reluctantly. sent Yu Ren away, and Zhao Rui's soul seemed to follow him. It's going to be in a daze all day long. Her personal maid Huanyun'er was worried that the young lady would get sick like this, so she persuaded her to go back to her hometown Wuxi early.
Yu Ren and Cao An took a boat along the canal all the way north to Zhenjiang, and then diverted from Zhenjiang to the west along the Yangtze River. Three days later, I finally arrived in Nanjing.
Nanjing City deserves to be the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, although the capital of the Ming Dynasty was moved north to Beijing in the hands of Chengzu more than 200 years ago. But Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, is still far more prosperous than Hangzhou.
Yu Ren followed Cao An around the city of Nanjing, and finally arrived at a small alley. Finally, Cao An hadn't forgotten Yu Ren's amnesia, and didn't expect him to recognize the way.
After entering the alley, Cao An pointed to a small courtyard not far in front, "Young master, it's here." ”
Yu Ren looked closely, and there were some differences between this home and what he imagined. It's not a bad place. The yard is not big, but there is also a main house, which is a small quadrangle.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the door, Cao An seemed to suddenly remember something. He whispered to Yu Ren, "Young Master, you will be home in a while, if the master asks you, you had better not mention the matter of getting to know Miss Li." Otherwise, you will not have the opportunity to go out again in the future. ”
