When Dong Rengui returned to the boat, he found Du Yu hovering in front of his door, raising his hand several times to knock on the door, but he stopped at the last minute. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Cough," Dong Rengui coughed, walked into the corridor, came to Du Yu and asked, "What's the matter, find me something?"

"Hmm. Du Yu nodded lightly and said, "It's a little something." ”

"Come in and talk about it!" Dong Rengui pushed the door into the room.

Du Yu hesitated for a moment and followed.

"Sit!" Dong Rengui casually pulled a chair and sat down and said to Du Yu.

"Oh, good. Du Yu hesitantly sat opposite Dong Rengui.

"Drink tea. Dong Rengui quickly made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Du Yu and himself, looked at her and said, "Say, what's the matter!"

"I ......" Du Yu suddenly didn't know how to speak while holding the teacup, hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "You probably already know my identity and origin, but before getting down to business, I still have to say it again." ”

"I was also the daughter of an official eunuch earlier, only because my father was involved in the case and died in prison, the family lost their support, and when I was just ten years old, I was sold into the Jiaofang Si Rucui Courtyard......" Du Yu lowered her head and looked at the teacup held in the palm of her hand, and slowly told her story.

“...... In the past seven years, I have sown fame and earned a lot of money for the bustard's mother, this year, I am nineteen, I am not young, and it is almost time for my fame to fade, so I began to plan to ...... from the good "A tear rolled down Du Yu's cheek and fell into the teacup in her hand, causing a circle of ripples.

“...... To be good, I don't want to choose high-ranking officials and nobles to be their outer room, and I don't want to be small for them now, I don't lack property, in the past seven years, I have secretly accumulated tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I don't like power, I just want to find someone I love and love me to marry him, and live a plain life, but ......"

Looking at Du Yu with tears streaming down her face, Dong Rengui silently handed her a handkerchief.

“...... Later, I met Li Yan ......" Du Yu showed a mocking look on her face.

“...... At the beginning, Li Yang was very good to me, although he was not able to learn, he was also a little indecisive and lacked assertiveness, but he was very good to me, he didn't care about my identity at all, and stayed by my side despite the separation with my father, even if he was sneered at and treated harshly by the bustard's mother after spending all the money for me, he never resented me, blaming me for letting him fall to such a point......"

Du Yu had a happy look on her face.

“...... Therefore, I thought that he was the person I had been waiting for, so I managed to get him to redeem me at a low price, and left the Rucui Courtyard with him with all my savings, leaving the capital, all the way by land and by car, water and boat, and walking towards his hometown of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, but along the way, he slowly changed ......"

Du Yu's face was mournful, and tears flowed down her face.

“...... Originally, I thought that he was cowardly and worried about the blame at home, so he was in a bad mood, so I kept letting him and comforting him, but I never thought ......"

Du Yu's face was pale, her hands were tightly clenched in the teacup, and her fingers were white.

“...... I didn't expect that he would resell me to a salt merchant for a mere 1,000 taels of silver!!" Du Yu raised her head, but couldn't stop her tears, "When I knew the news, my heart died......"

“...... That morning, I dressed up and pretended to agree to their deal......"

“...... I asked Li Hao to open the treasure chest in public at the bow of the boat, so that he could clearly see the treasures, and then threw them into the river one by one in front of him......"

“...... Looking at Li Xun's horrified expression, I ......, "Du Yu's face is complicated, I don't know how to describe the mood at that time, is it happy? is it resentment? Is it painful? Is it despair? Or both?"

"Okay, let the past pass, don't think about it anymore!" Dong Rengui interrupted Du Yu's memories and said, "People have to look forward to life!"

"Huh...... Looking forward?" Du Yu laughed sadly, "What is the future of a broken flower like me?

Dong Rengui looked at her and didn't speak, and only Du Yu's desperate laughter was left in the room.

“...... Suck, suck, I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now......" After a long while, Du Yu slowly controlled her feelings.

"It's fine. Dong Rengui picked up the teacup and drank tea expressionlessly.

"Is there any wine?" Du Yu wiped her tears and said suddenly.

"Yes. Dong Rengui calmly took out a pot of high-quality rainy night spring and put it on the table.

"Thank you. Du Yu thanked him softly, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass, drank it in one gulp, poured another glass, drank it in one gulp, drank seven or eight glasses in a row, and then stopped looking at Dong Rengui and said: "Now that you know my past, it's time for us to get down to business!"

"Say it!" Watching Du Yu drink wildly, Dong Rengui didn't dissuade her, just lowered her head and gently sipped the tea, and only raised her head to look at her when she heard her mention business.

"I'm ......" Du Yu froze, picked up the wine glass and drank a few glasses of wine before she mustered up the courage to look at Dong Rengui and said, "I want to ask you to accept me!"

"What?" Dong Rengui was taken aback when he heard this, and sat up straight and looked at Du Yu.

I don't know if it's because of the surging of alcohol, Du Yu's face turned red, she looked directly at Dong Rengui, and said loudly: "I want to commit myself to you, okay?"

"Are you sure?" Dong Rengui was a little incredulous.

"Sure!" Du Yu lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I have nowhere to go......"

"If you really have nowhere to go, I can arrange a place for you. Dong Rengui looked at Du Yu with complicated eyes and said: "My family has just moved to a new house, the place is not big, but it can also allow you to live in peace." ”

"What?" Du Yu was surprised and delighted when she heard this.

When she heard Dong Rengui say that she could arrange a place for her to go just now, she thought that Dong Rengui was going to refuse her, but she didn't expect that the place Dong Rengui arranged for her was actually his house! This couldn't help but surprise and delight her.

"What, you don't want to go?" Dong Rengui raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Yu.

"Nope. Du Yu hurriedly shook her head and said, "Of course I want to, but, but ......"

"But what?" Dong Rengui saw that she was a little hesitant, so he said, "What is there?"

"I, I, I'm afraid that your family will dislike me......" Du Yu's head was about to go under the table, and said in a voice like a mosquito, if it weren't for Dong Rengui's excellent hearing, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hear her voice.

"My family won't dislike you!" Dong Rengui reached out and grabbed Du Yu's little hand.

"Don't worry, everything has me!" Dong Rengui looked at her seriously and said.

"Hmm. Du Yu agreed like a mosquito.
