The next day, Ruan Yuyi thought that the prince Xu was like yesterday and would not pass too early, so she slept peacefully until Mu Xiang came to tear open the curtain and the light fell on the ground.

After getting dressed neatly, he went out of the courtyard gate, but saw that the maid beside Cheng Zhu's side was already waiting on the side, saw Ruan Yuyi come out, and stepped forward and said, "Young lady, Madame is invited." ”

The matter of Zhaorong and Cheng Xingqiu has not yet been seriously clarified, although everyone in the house knows it, but they are still watching their noses and noses, pretending not to know, and receiving the eldest princess of the East Chamber as an ordinary guest, secretly sighing for the experience of this poor young lady.

In their opinion, the young lady is already so virtuous and immortal, but she still has to be treated as an object, fiddling and discarding at will, which is incomprehensible to them.

Ruan Yuyi suppressed the doubts in her heart, nodded as usual, and walked behind the servant.

Cheng Zhu was already waiting in the main hall, and there was Cheng Rui sitting beside him.

Although Cheng Rui is an idiot, he also knows that his sister Yi'er is good and has always been willing to be close to her. Seeing Ruan Yuyi, who she hadn't seen for a few days, she was even more overjoyed, and she couldn't sit still, so she stepped forward a few steps.

"Sister Yi'er, have you come to see me?" Cheng Rui smiled and broke a snot bubble.

The maidservant girl next to him hurriedly came up and wiped him clean with a handkerchief.

Ruan Yuyi smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, "My aunt is fine, and my second cousin is fine." ”

When Cheng Zhu heard this crisp greeting, he couldn't help but raise his eyes, looked at the niece in front of him, and sighed in his heart, the appearance of this sister Yi is really shocking once I see it.

When I first saw her when I first met her before yesterday, she was still a young girl, but now she has been a wife for a year, and she has not been tortured, but she has become more charming.

Her daughter-in-law is still more like her, she has a soft temperament and is easy to handle.

Rui'er's condition is not good to marry the daughter of a serious family, and it is really not appropriate to give her to Rui'er, so she also saves a bride price, and I think Sister Yi doesn't have the courage to object.

It's just that she and Rui'er still have less contact.

Cheng Zhushi was in a happy mood, and smiled, the makeup powder embedded in the wrinkles was particularly obvious, and it seemed to be falling down, "Here?" My aunt called you over today because she wanted you to go to Linglong Hall to get back the bracelet I had set the month before. ”

Linglong Hall is a shop dedicated to the ladies and ladies in Beijing to customize the pearl and jade head noodles and other things, his things are all new styles, has always been in short supply, and even very precious, priceless and marketable.

I heard that their shopkeeper always saw no one, and when others were away, they closed the shop, and they didn't care about how much they sold, so the price was even more inflated.

Cheng Zhushi paused before telling the true purpose, "By the way, I took Rui'er to see the doctor, the weather has been getting cold recently, and he accidentally contracted the wind cold." ”

Originally, these two things could be handed over to the subordinates to do, they were nothing more than errands, and Cheng Mansion was not without a house doctor. Cheng Zhu asked her to go to the street in person, and also brought Cheng Rui, her intentions are self-evident.

Although Ruan Yuyi's heart was clear, she couldn't shirk it, so she still had to come down, "Yes." Auntie, are you going? "If it's late, you won't necessarily have enough time left to get to the Holy River Temple.

"Hmm. Go ahead, the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion is in the shop today, don't delay. Cheng Zhu turned the jade bracelet on his wrist and urged casually.

When Cheng Rui heard this, he cheered vigorously and applauded awkwardly.

Cheng Zhu has indeed always been close to this son, and rarely let him go out, especially when he got the news of Cheng Xingqiu's death, for fear that something would happen to the second son.

Fortunately, the place is not far away, and when Cheng Fu came out two streets away, Ruan Yuyi didn't ask for a sedan chair and was ready to walk over.

She should have complied with her aunt's wishes and held Cheng Rui's hand, so as not to run around with him in high spirits.

But as long as she is not in the book, nominally, she is still someone else's wife, if she is really involved, she can't tell, not to mention that she doesn't want to have more involvement with the Cheng family.

The streets of Beijing have always been lively, and there are many small vendors along the road.

Cheng Rui walked and was attracted by a stall selling chicks. These little fluffy things are alive, swaying in the cage with a subtle call.

Ruan Yuyi was bent on moving forward, but Mu Xiang noticed that something was wrong first, "Miss, why is the second young master gone?" She looked around, and all she saw was the crowd of people coming and going, and the familiar shadow was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi turned around and found that Cheng Rui was gone. Her heart sank, if she lost Cheng Rui, she would not be able to explain to Cheng Zhu.

Besides, he's an idiot, what if something happens?

They quickly turned back, anxiously pushing away the pedestrians. Ruan Yuyi's eyelids couldn't help but jump suddenly.

"Miss, look ahead."

She followed the Mu Xiang to look over, and there was a carriage parked in the middle of the road, with black nan wood as the body, although there was no superfluous decoration, but it was beautifully carved in the details, which was called ingenious.

The door at the front of the carriage and the window at the back were obscured by a curtain of crepe, making it impossible for anyone outside to peek in.

And sitting in front of the carriage, blocking people's roads, and being so shocked that he couldn't say a word, isn't it Cheng Rui who was lost.

Mu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Rui and brushed the dust off his clothes for him.

Ruan Yuyi knew that he had collided with the nobleman, and she couldn't leave him alone, so she had to step forward and face the people across the curtain:

"The little girl failed to take a good look at him, if there is anything offended, please forgive me."

When the words fell, she anxiously waited for the people inside to respond, or simply drove away, not too much entanglement.

When Cheng Rui saw her coming, he grinned, "Sister Yi'er, you're here." "Completely leave the fear of the party behind.

Her words did not fall word for word, and clearly reached the ears of Jiang Huaiyang, who was sitting in the carriage. He heard the soft tone of the speech, which felt familiar, and lifted the curtain slightly, and looked out through the gap.

This look confirmed his guess, and he saw a slender figure.

The scene in his dream last night suddenly broke into his mind, and he was in a trance.

An oil lamp, an offering table, and a compassionate Buddha with his eyes raised, smiling lightly as always.

He grabbed her wrist and kept dropping kiss after kiss on the side of her neck, muttering, "Lingling—Lingling—"

She was dressed in red clothes, sitting on a wooden table, her body trembling slightly, her thoughts were empty and confused, but she still instinctively dodged, causing the bell to ring between her wrists.

It's like a little rain, too much restraint, but it burns their skin.

Darkness soaks them.

Jiang Huaiyang bit her ear and said in a dumb voice, "Ling Ling, you look up, the Buddha is also looking at it." ”

He pinched her jaw at the junction of her ear, forcing her to look up, her misty eyes on the golden Buddha statue.

They are making mistakes in front of the Buddha.

It was her only thought.

Only then did she pick up some of the clarity, and felt her spine be eaten away by a tingling sensation, and then her whole body softened.

She rejected Jiang Huaiyang and said with difficulty, "Go to the next room." ”

He chuckled in her ear suddenly, and without really letting her be scared, he picked her up and walked towards the door.

She curled up in his arms and hooked his neck. In my ears, the bell was still ringing.

Jiang Huaiyang sat in the carriage and stared at the woman in front of him who was similar to the person in his dream through the curtain, his expression was obscure.

The tall man suddenly rushed out and almost collided with his carriage, but now when he looked closely, he looked like he was incomplete. With an idiot, there is nothing to worry about -

But he changed his mind.

He knocked twice on the door, motioning for the attendant to poke his head in.

Then Ruan Yuyi saw the attendant come down, walked up to her, and said, "Girl, our master invites you into the carriage to talk in detail. ”

Ruan Yuyi was stunned, she really didn't expect the other party to make such a request.

Not to mention whether it is a man or a woman inside, she rarely goes out of the house, and she knows very little in Beijing, so she should not know the nobles in the car. I couldn't figure out what he had in mind, and besides, she couldn't get on a living carriage in front of everyone.

She became vigilant and refused, "Tell your master, I will not run away from the compensation, if there is anything, just say it." ”

Jiang Huaiyang inside heard this, the corners of his lips rose slightly, but the bottom of his eyes was cold, without any temperature, and he thought that whenever she was a dignitary, she would pounce up, but she didn't expect the goal to be clear.

Seeing more and more people gathered around, I wanted to see what was going on.

In the midst of the stalemate, a lame boy with a staff walked forward from among the people.

He was dressed luxuriously, not like the son of an ordinary family, and there was an old wound on the side of his neck, if he let the battle-hardened soldiers identify it, he could recognize it as a knife wound at a glance, and he was afraid that it was not shallow.

The attendant seemed to recognize this son, and came up to worship.

The boy waved his hand and whispered something to him. The attendant repeated his words to Jiang Huaiyang in the car.

Jiang Huaiyang sighed, although the bloody battle a few years ago caused him to lose his dexterous right leg, he still did not change his temperament, and he was nosy as always.

He also had no intention of embarrassing Ruan Yuyi again, and motioned for the attendant to leave.

The crowd retreated, and the black nanmu carriage drifted away, raising a little dust along the road.

Knowing that this lame son helped her get out of trouble, Ruan Yuyi's heart was relieved, and she thanked her, "Thank you for your help." ”

Liu Nanjun frowned and smiled heartily, "It is rare for a hero to save the beauty, and it is naturally incumbent on me to do so." ”

He glanced at Cheng Rui and said hesitantly, "Your brother-" He wanted to ask Cheng Rui if he was intellectually disabled.

Ruan Yuyi understood, nodded, and didn't want to explain more, "He's not my brother." ”

He didn't say anything more, and said casually, "If you meet this person in the carriage again in the future, remember to stay away." ”

This is sincere, precisely because he is working under him, he knows that Jiang Huaiyang is not a simple good person, but that knot in his heart makes him more and more uncertain after that.

Ruan Yuyi thought that it would not be so coincidental, and when she ran into this strange nobleman again, she didn't pay attention to it, and thanked her and left.

At this time, she no longer dared to let Cheng Rui walk alone, but ordered Mu Xiang to walk behind him and stare at people a little.
