Noble First Daughter-in-law

Waking up, attending the funeral, and then going to Banyan Temple to send the spirit, I was busy for three full days.

And when the final spiritual ceremony was over, the day they stayed at Banyan Temple happened to be New Year's Eve, but the people were not in the mood to celebrate the festival, and everyone just had a hearty vegetarian meal in silence, and then went back to the temple Resting in the Lay Forest in the back mountain.

Since it was the squatter's hut, it was naturally very simple. Shang Ruyi walked into the hut after taking a bath, and saw that the room was large, divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside, separated by a veil in the middle, but there was only one bed, set in the hut. The inner room is near the wall, and the outer room only has two low tables and a few blankets, and the rest of the accessories are all there.

Shang Ruyi frowned suddenly——

Well, how do you want them to sleep?
However, she raised her head to look around again, but found that Yu Wenye was not there. It stands to reason that he should go to take a shower and change clothes first, so he should go back to his room first. Why did he disappear?

Could it be that he went to sleep in another room?
But just after eating the vegetarian meal, the abbot of Banyan Temple came over specifically to say that the huts in the Jushi Lin were not enough, so even Aunt Hui and Jin Yun had to share a room together. As husband and wife, they were even more It is impossible to arrange separately.

Shang Ruyi thought about it, but she didn't dare to lie down by herself first. After all, she really didn't want to show any loss in front of Yu Wenye because of the lessons learned from that night.

So, she put on a coat, opened the door and went out.

Everyone was really tired after being busy for the past few days. They closed the door early and went to sleep. In the entire Layman forest, there were only some insects and birds singing in the forest. On the contrary, it made the night quieter. unexpected.

Shang Ruyi walked around the yard twice, and as soon as she reached the gate of Jushilin, she heard the voices of two people talking on the bluestone road outside——

"So half a year ago he came to stay overnight, and was the last time you saw him?"

"Yes."

"After that, where did they go?"

"Second Young Master, please forgive me. The Eldest Young Master has always been on the move and is alone. It's not easy for me to inquire casually."

"Alone..."

That voice was Yu Wenye and the abbot of Banyan Temple, Zen Master Duhai. The tone of the two people's speech was neither high nor low, and it didn't seem like a secret conversation. But when Shang Ruyi heard these words, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks. Thinking about it, he immediately turned and went back to the room.

And even with the door closed and close to the brazier beside the bed, she still felt a chill rushing up from the soles of her feet.

When she was in a daze, the door of the hut was pushed open.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Yu Wenye walking in with a cold moonlight, and he seemed to be holding a cloth bag with a little dirt in his hand.

Shang Ruyi suddenly became a little nervous, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a stiff back.

Yu Wenye also looked at her.

After a long while, a slight sneer appeared on his face, and he said, "You can rest assured that you will sleep."

After finishing speaking, he didn't go inside, but went to a low table outside and sat down, dumped the cloth bag in his hand on the table, poured out a bag of stones, and rolled all over the table.

Shang Ruyi was taken aback for a moment - what is this for?
At this time, whether she was lying down to sleep or going out to see, she could only sit by the bed and watch Yu Wenye disregard the mud on the stones, or gather or scatter them, and arrange the stones in various shapes. shape, and then moved a few more, looked again, and moved a few more.

It's like a child playing a game.

After fiddling for a while, he seemed to feel Shang Ruyi's gaze. He turned his head and looked at her tired face, still refusing to lie down. For some reason, her face was even uglier. He sneered and said, "Why, let people Are you relieved to tie me up?"

"No, it's not."

Shang Ruyi probably also knew what he was referring to that night. Although he was obviously wrong, but for some reason, when she brought it up now, it seemed that she had a high opinion of herself and was even more affectionate. She didn't want to get too rigid with him. After all, Guan Yunmu had just passed away, and this mother was really good to him.

So she took a blanket off the bed and went out and handed it to him.

"If it's cold, put it on."

"..."

Yu Wenye only looked up at her, didn't say anything, grabbed the blanket, but put it coldly by his feet.

After finishing all this, Shang Ruyi did not turn around and leave, but still stood by his side, looking at the various shapes of the stones piled up on the table, Yu Wenye was silent for a while, and then said: "You still don't go back sleep?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "I won't apologize to you for what happened that day, because I was right."

"Humph."

"But, I want to make peace with you."

"..."

Yu Wenye paused for breath, then raised his head to look at her, with a faint throbbing in his eyes.

After a while, he said, "Why?"

Shang Ruyi slowly sat down on the blanket, looked him in the eye and said to him: "You once said that we are a transaction, not antagonism, and this kind of hostility will not do any good for the two of us. Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, We're still married, aren't we?"

She has been busy for the past few days, but her mind is very clear.

Although, she only regards being the daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion as her greatest reliance in life, but after all, it is impossible for the Duke to be by her side and protect her all the time. At home, without the help of the husband Yu Wenye, As a young lady, she will still struggle.

For example, that day, she couldn't even move one of Mu Xian's subordinates, which was evident.

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her, and his originally calm breathing became rapid at this moment.

Even his chest heaved violently a few times.

After a long while, he seemed to be angry, but also smiled lightly, and said, "You, on the contrary, remember my words very clearly."

Shang Ruyi remembered that she used his words to deal with him several times, sometimes it was a dispute, sometimes it was comforting, and she couldn't tell what kind of relationship he was referring to at the moment, but she still said very sincerely: "We make up. Okay, okay?"

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, then suddenly turned his head and snorted softly: "I didn't fall out with you."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help showing a little smile.

This is what reconciliation means.

She breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, and her whole body relaxed, and she couldn't help but look at the stones on the table, and asked softly, "What are you putting here?"

Yu Wenye didn't look back at her, and fiddled with a few more stones, saying: "Look, see if you can see it."

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at it for a while: "Are you—arranging troops?"

Yu Wenye was startled, then turned to look at her: "Do you understand?"

Shang Ruyi shook her head: "I don't understand, but when I was a child, my father had nothing to do, so he would use the stones in the yard to play with it at home."

Yu Wenye stared at her flickeringly for a while, didn't say anything, and continued to play with his back. Shang Ruyi also looked at her for a while, and murmured: "But what you're displaying here is not the terrain of Xingluocang."

"...!"

Yu Wenye didn't look back at her this time, but paused his fingers slightly, and then said: "Why do you think that I will arrange Xingluocang's formation?"

At this time, tiredness had gradually come over, and Shang Ruyi felt his eyelids drooping, but he still pulled himself together and answered him: "It's obviously not a normal reward for His Majesty to confer you at your mother's funeral this time. It is more like an emergency call, and the canonization during the funeral should be for you to prepare for a period of time; in addition, an important place like Xingluocang is occupied by the Wang Gang army, and the imperial court must send troops to conquer it. The two sides should deal with it, we Guess, maybe send you."

Yu Wenye was silent for a while, then snorted coldly, "So you're not stupid."

That's what he said, but the movements of his hands were much slower than before. Firstly, his thoughts were stagnant, and secondly, it seemed that there were other things disturbing his thoughts, which made him unable to arrange his troops with peace of mind. .

After being silent for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "You know your Majesty very well."

"..."

"You and him, after all—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

He turned his head and saw that Shang Ruyi fell asleep at some point, with his head tilted on his shoulder.

Suddenly, his whole body froze, and a small stone in his hand fell to the table with a thud.

Shang Ruyi was a light sleeper, and subconsciously frowned, but she was still confused, and felt a burst of warmth in her ears. Suddenly, she couldn't hear any sound, and there was a warm atmosphere surrounding her. A reassuring sense of tolerance, slowly, fell asleep again.

One night, the next morning.

It was rare for Shang Ruyi to sleep so soundly, especially in the dream that she could smell the scent of sandalwood and feel the warmth on her body, and she was even a little reluctant to wake up.

However, her instinct still made her slowly open her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was startled again, and suddenly sat up, only to find that she was sleeping on the bed in the inner room, covered with the blanket she handed to Yu Wenye last night.

And beside him, there was no figure of Yu Wenye, and when he turned his head to look outside, there was no one at the table.

Even the stones are gone.

After going through the Zhanpinghe station last time, she also knew that she must have fallen asleep next to him, and then was carried to bed by him. Although she didn't have the sudden closeness and skin-to-skin contact that made her uneasy a few nights ago, but She still couldn't help blushing, holding her head in regret.

Why, fell asleep again!
Fortunately, Tusheer and the others came to help her get up soon, and Shang Ruyi didn't dare to neglect. Today is the first day of the new year, and it is the day when they will go home after the funeral. She hurriedly got up and took care of everything. Yansi, Yu Wenyuan and the others are also ready, and the family is going home.

And Shang Ruyi was in the crowd, and at a glance, he saw Yu Wenye, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a calm face, standing out from the crowd.

The two looked at each other, and her face suddenly became hot.

It's not easy to say anything, and I went down the mountain with everyone, but when I boarded the boat at the ferry, looking at the sparkling river, Shang Ruyi suddenly thought of something, and her steps suddenly sank.

At this time, a familiar breath approached behind him.

He heard Yu Wenye's quiet voice whispering next to his ear: "What's wrong?"
