Chapter 175: Nie Siran x Su Ruhe

Candles are lit in the house, supporting a bright world.

Nie Siran threw the bloodstained white handkerchief into the basin, took out a small bottle of gold sore medicine from his sleeve, he lowered his head, and his expression fell on Su Ruhe's neck, and there was an abrupt bright red sword mark on his white and slender neck, which was very eye-catching no matter how he looked at it.

"Master Su, who has offended you, I won't let you go on the Qiao Festival." His voice was flat, and he raised his hand to sprinkle the powder carefully.

Su Ruhe clasped his hands and hung down on his lap, he pursed his mouth, and sat upright for a long time, under the gaze of those black eyes, he lowered his head first.

"Thank you Nie Gongzi for relieving the siege tonight, and I will thank you again another day." answered one by one, and didn't want to say anything else.

The corners of Nie Siran's mouth rose upward, but he didn't see a smile, he didn't pay attention to his answer at all, and said to himself: "Then you might as well let me guess, the person who assassinated you is related to the previous Taoist temple corruption case." ”

Su Ruhe didn't say anything.

Nie Siran: "Why, King Li's secret guard doesn't protect you in secret?" ”

Su Ruhe picked his fingers, he ignored the pain in his neck, and said, "The things entrusted to me by King Li have been done, so naturally there is no need for secret guards." ”

"Really?" Nie Siran stared at him, "Since the matter is over, why would there be an assassination today?" ”

"If I hadn't been following you, and my secret guard wouldn't have been able to rescue you in time, you know that you would probably die in this alley tonight."

Su Ruhe was silent for a while.

Su Ruhe: "Don't bother Nie Gongzi about this, it's late at night, Nie Gongzi should go back early." ”

A sneer came from overhead.

Then, the person in front of him moved.

Su Ruhe thought he was leaving, he slowly raised his head, and the next moment, a pair of hands reached towards him, and his neck was wrapped in soft gauze.

It's just that this person is probably angry in the bottom of his heart, and the action of winding the gauze is not gentle.

Su Ruhe hissed in pain, frowned, and raised his hand to stop him, "I'll ...... it myself."

Nie Siran looked at him condescendingly, "Can you see the location of the wound?" ”

“……”

Su Ruhe silently let him wrap himself in gauze.

"Thank you."

Nie Siran was about to go outside the house to wash his hands, he had medicinal powder on his hands, and when he heard the sound of thanks coming from behind him, he suddenly turned around, "Lord Su will only say thank you?" ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Su Ruhe would answer or not, he walked out.

There was a water tank in the yard, and listening to the sound of water outside, Su Ruhe hesitated, but got up and walked out.

Standing on the steps, he looked at the handsome back in the courtyard and asked the doubts in his heart, "Is Nie Gongzi angry?" ”

Just now, he clearly heard a faint anger in his words.

Nie Siran lowered his eyes and wiped the water stains on his hands, his expression was gloomy, "Why am I angry?" Master Su didn't treat me as a friend, so I don't have the right to be angry. ”

Su Ruhe's lips moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and the words went around in his mouth but were swallowed back by him.

There was silence behind him for a long time.

After a long time, I heard the man speak in a familiar slow tone, "Nie Gongzi walks slowly." ”

*

"Childe," the scholar helped Su Ruhe pack his luggage and looked outside the house, "Nie Gongzi hasn't been here for a few days." ”

Su Ruhe was taking his clothes, he bent down to put them into the box, the gauze around his neck had been removed, the wound was scabbed, and it was slowly healing.

The scholar secretly went to see Su Ruhe, and after a few days, no matter how slow he reacted, he could see that Gongzi and Nie Gongzi had a conflict.

"I'm going to leave Yejing the day after tomorrow, and I have a lot of things to do right now, so it's better not to come." Su Ruhe handed over the bedding to him.

The scholar put the bedding neatly into another big box, and his words were a little hesitant, "Having said that, Childe finally has a friend......

"Don't mention that again, help me get those five paintings."

The scholar trotted into the inner room and carefully took out the landscape painting.

"Childe, the lantern in your house has been on for several days, do you want to take the small one and throw it away?"

Su Ruhe paused for a moment and said softly: "No, let it go." ”

He instructed the scholar, "You go to the street and sell these paintings to the shopkeeper who does not envy the immortals, and you don't need to bargain, just fifteen taels of silver." ”

The scholar was taken aback, "Childe, you spent nearly sixty taels of silver on these paintings when you bought them back, how can you sell them so cheaply." ”

"It's okay to have less silver, it's a waste to stay with me, it's better to let the people who appreciate the painting buy it, go quickly."

Seeing that Su Ruhe had made up his mind, the scholar knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so he puffed up his face and went out to sell paintings.

Half an hour later, the scholar ran all the way back with his pockets covered, with a smile on his sweaty face, "Childe, Childe, the shopkeeper who does not envy the fairy is really a good person, I said that I sold fifteen taels, but he said that I sold it low, so he gave me fifty taels!" ”

The scholar happily took out the silver and put it on the table, and was very happy.

Su Ruhe was sitting at the table to reconcile, he held a pen in one hand, after listening to the scholar's words, he frowned and pondered for a moment, his thoughts came to his senses, and he shook his head with a smile.

The fact that he was going to be transferred to Yancheng was not announced, and there were few people in the court who knew about it, but King Li must know it.

He originally wanted to give a few paintings to the calligraphy and painting shop opened by Princess Li for free, but he understood that Princess Li would not accept it, so he planned to sell them cheaply, but who knew that it would not work.

This silver tael must be the handiwork of the prince and the princess.

"Then take it."

He accepted this kindness and returned it to the princess in the future.

The scholar happily put the silver into the money box on the table, and muttered, "With this silver, after the son goes to Yancheng, his life will be much better." ”

"I'm going to be a taishou, not exile, listening to your tone, it seems that I can't even eat after I go." Su Ruhe rarely joked with him.

The scholar grinned, "That's really not accurate, Childe has helped so many people over the years, and he is poor, and the little one is really afraid that you won't be able to take care of yourself." ”

Su Ruhe smiled, raised his hand and touched the scholar's head, "I have returned your deed of sale to your mother, and I will take care of your mother and myself in the future." ”

The scholar tugged at his sleeves hard, he hung his head, held back his sour nose and said, "Childe, don't always treat the little ones as children, how long will Childe stay in Yancheng?" When Childe returns, the younger one continues to serve Childe. ”

"Probably, it's going to be a few years."

The sun was shining outside, and Su Ruhe's words were scattered in the light dust, like a small and inconspicuous dust, which disappeared in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it's time to leave.

Before dawn, the alley was quiet, Su Ruhe pushed open the door, carried a small burden, and stepped into the simple carriage parked at the door.

A car, a wooden box, and a burden are all his bags.

The groom rode his horse towards the entrance of the alley, Su Ruhe raised the curtain, and took one last look at Wutong Alley.

He walked quietly, without notice, and went out of the city, and the sky in the distance broke through the dark night, and the sky was bright.

Yancheng is in the east, far away from Yejing, all the way to the car and horses, it is still hot when leaving, now it is late autumn, Su Ruhe arrived in Yancheng, people have also lost a circle.

The Taishou Mansion has already prepared everything, and as soon as he arrives, he will be able to move in directly.

The housekeepers in the house are all procured by the chief bookkeeper of the government Gong Cao, the chief bookkeeper is a man in his forties, surnamed Liu Shoutian, with a square and dark face, a medium figure, a beard and a scarf and a hat, typical Confucian dress, but because of his serious appearance and become a little weird.

Su Ruhe invited him to the mansion and inquired in detail about the situation in Yancheng.

Liu Shoutian replied very carefully, "Lord Hui, there are eight counties in Yancheng, the largest of which is Fuwan County, and the smallest is Chelin County...... Now the eight county magistrates are waiting for the adults to summon them at the government office. ”

Su Ruhe: "Which county is closest to Yancheng?" ”

Liu Shoutian immediately said; "My lord, the nearest one is Yunmeng County."

The two talked for more than an hour, and Su Ruhe personally sent the person to the door, "Go back and ask Mr. Liu to give me a copy of the list of officials, and Mr. will leave slowly." ”

Liu Shoutian responded, he hurried back before the lower ya, and specially found eight county magistrates.

"Lord Taishou has an order, please rest today and go to Taishou Mansion early tomorrow morning."

Someone couldn't help but hold Liu Shoutian, and there were many temptations in his words, "Lord Liu, I don't know what this Taishou is like, is it easy to get along with?" ”

Liu Shoutian pulled back his sleeve and replied one by one: "You don't have to inquire, you can know tomorrow after tomorrow, and the lower official will leave first." ”

"Okay, Master Liu, go slowly."

When people walked away, several county commanders looked at each other.

Someone sneered, "This Liu Shoutian can only be a master for a lifetime, his head is inflexible, and he is very pedantic." ”

"Yes, it's just a matter of one sentence, I don't want to say it, I always have a cold face, as if I owe him money."

A few people talked nonsense, somewhat out of their hearts, and turned back to the house.

The next day, they got up early in the morning, and they were not sure about the new Taishou, and they didn't dare to take Qiao, so they went to the gate of the Taishou Mansion early to wait.

After waiting for about half an hour, the butler opened the door to welcome them into the house.

They have been to the mansion many times, and they are familiar with the way, and many precious flowers and trees in the mansion are still sent by them, but now, they bow their heads one by one, and they dare not look around.

When the group came to the front hall and heard the report of the subordinates, eight people walked in and knelt on the ground in a proper manner.

"Xiaguan has seen my lord."

Su Ruhe didn't look at them, his eyes fell on the blooming wood hibiscus outside the hall, and his tone was slow and leisurely, "This official has just arrived, if there is anything you don't understand, I have to ask you, get up and sit down." ”

The county magistrates were stunned when they heard this exceptionally young voice.

They got up from the ground, and when they looked up, they unexpectedly saw a handsome face with tender skin and white skin.

None of the eight people expected that the newcomer Taishou would be so small.

Looking at the face, it seems that it is not as good as a weak crown.

Several people began to beat drums in their hearts again.

At the same time, looking at this young man who was like a pine and a jade bamboo, they became uncontrollably jealous.

Some people have been camping all their lives, and they can only be a small county magistrate, while some people, as if they were born at the high end of power, will rise to prominence as soon as they enter the office.

Su Ruhe didn't care about their looks, he asked about the situation in each county as usual, had a general understanding, and chatted all morning, the housekeeper came in and said that lunch had been prepared in the house, and a few county orders were left to eat, and several people made excuses to leave.

The housekeeper suddenly looked at Taishou with some sorrow.

He was old, and he could see that these shrewd and snobbish county commanders were cautious when they saw that they were too young and easy to talk to, and they were contemptuous in their hearts, and they were long gone.
