The step-brother is charming and soft, and the Marquis can't help but flirt with her

In the afternoon, Lu Xingyue went to Jinyiwei. Shen Lansui hadn't come back for a long time. He had accumulated a pile of ledgers and was busy dealing with affairs in the mansion. The two of them were busy on their own, and the day passed like this.

The next day, after Shen Lansui and Lu Xingyue had breakfast, they were about to go to the study to find two books to read. Lu Xingyue suddenly stopped her and said, "You haven't been back for a long time. It's time to meet your friends."

Shen Lansui was startled, "Friend?"

Lu Xingyue nodded, "Ruan Huaishu sent the invitation this morning. See if you want to go."

He took out the invitation and handed it to Shen Lansui. Shen Lansui took a look at it and felt surprised, "Today?"

Generally, appointments are made in advance. How can you make an appointment on the same day? If you don't have time, wouldn't it be a waste of time? How could Ruan Huaishu do such an impromptu thing?

She had some doubts in her heart, but Lu Xingyue looked as usual, "We'll know if we go and see it?"

When Shen Lansui thought so, she turned around and went back to the house to ask Guan Chun to help her choose clothes again.

Lu Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not suspicious.

Shen Lansui went out and got on the carriage, heading all the way to the teahouse. When she arrived at the door, before she opened the door, she heard Ruan Huaishu's laughter, "It's so timely, I've just arrived too."

Hearing his friend's voice, those doubts were immediately forgotten. Shen Lansui opened the car door and went out. He stood on the carriage and looked at Ruan Huaishu opposite with a bright smile, "Long time no see, Zanghua!"

Ruan Huaishu was also very happy. She was wearing a moon-white robe today, covered with a white fox fur, and her hair was tied in a jade crown. She stood tall and graceful. Her smile was like the bright moon falling into her arms, attracting passers-by's attention.

Shen Lansui stepped forward quickly and joked: "Whose young master is this? Is he married yet?"

Ruan Huaishu turned his bright eyes, smiled and held her hand, "If my wife is willing to marry me, I will have a good match."

The two ignored everyone's looks and entered the teahouse side by side.

The tea house is doing a good business today, the lobby is full of people, the tea soup is in the cups, bright in color, steaming hot, and accompanied by laughter, it is a peaceful scene.

When Shen Lansui saw this, he couldn't help but sigh. In the same world, there are people who are hungry and cold and homeless; there are people who talk loudly and enjoy tea and wine.

Ruan Huaishu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, "Look who is so fascinated? Don't worry if Lu Sanlang finds out about it and it will overturn his jealousy."

"You also know that he is jealous?" Shen Lansui laughed, "Has his reputation spread far and wide?"

Ruan Huaishu whispered a few instructions to the waiter, and took Shen Lansui to sit aside. The waiter moved quickly, and soon hot tea and snacks were served.

After he left, Ruan Huaishu personally poured tea for Shen Lansui and whispered: "That's not true, but I don't know him yet. He was not happy to look at you more than once last time."

Shen Lansui recalled it and asked uncertainly: "Is there any?"

"You are a fan of the authorities." Ruan Huaishu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced at her through the white mist. "In other words, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever he does, you will find it good."

Shen Lansui didn't refute. When you are passionately in love, of course you can choose whatever the other person likes.

"I heard about what happened to you in Wanguan City." Ruan Huaishu gave her a thumbs up, "You are really brave."

Shen Lansui didn't think so, "I like him. If I know something happened to him, I will definitely want to see him as soon as possible, wouldn't you?"

Ruan Huaishu shook his head, "No."

"Why?" Shen Lansui was confused.

Ruan Huaishu was silent for a moment, stroking the pattern on the teacup with his thumb, and after a moment he laughed and said, "Maybe it's because you and I are different." Shen Lansu raised her eyebrows and listened attentively.

Ruan Huaishu said softly: "I am the only child in the family. What I have been thinking about since elementary school is to weigh the pros and cons. No matter when, I will never abandon my grandfather and my family for one person. I will treat him and all the others." Weigh the consequences to see if I can bear it, and see which one is more important, him or the family."

"In the end, family must be the most important thing, right?" Shen Lansui understood, "You seem free and easy, but in fact you are burdened."

Ruan Huaishu sighed and smiled in relief, "So I really envy you for being able to risk your life for what you like. This kind of courage is extremely valuable."

Shen Lansu shook her head, "You are not me, how do you know I don't envy you?"

"Oh?" Ruan Huaishu leaned forward slightly and asked curiously: "Why do you envy me?"

"You are willing to consider your sweetheart and your family together, which means that in your heart, they are equal in terms of status. The family may be more important in terms of weight, but the family is also very precious to you, which proves that they have indeed given you You are many, allowing you to think about them from your heart.”

Shen Lansui warmed her hands while holding a tea cup, her long eyelashes slightly lowered, and she said softly: "I don't think about my family, because they never care about me, so I never take them into my heart. In my heart, Lu Xingyue is far better than a The indifferent and selfish family is important. Isn't your troubles what I long for?"

Ruan Huaishu was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

Suddenly enlightened, she picked up the teacup and touched it with Shen Lansui, "We don't need to envy anyone else. It's good just like this."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "Yes."

The two of them drank this cup of tea instead of wine, and then listened intently to the storyteller telling a story. What a coincidence, the storyteller was talking about Wanguan City today. Shen Lansui almost heard his own name while listening. Choked on pastry.

Ruan Huaishu was laughing hard beside him.

Shen Lansui listened carefully, his ears suddenly turned red, and he asked in a low voice, "Is he talking about me?"

Ruan Huaishu laughed, "Who else could it be if I weren't you?"

Shen Lansui: "..."

She carefully watched the reactions of the people around her, but saw that the people around her were listening with gusto, cheering and applauding at the climax.

Shen Lansui wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. What was the difference between this and a public execution?

After sitting for a while and finding it impossible to sit any longer, they began to talk about her and Lu Xingyue's love affair.

Shen Lansui quickly took Ruan Huaishu to pay and leave.

After leaving the teahouse, it was time for dinner. The two of them went to a nearby restaurant to eat and have two drinks. At this point, Shen Lansui felt that they had pretty much played today and it was time to go back to their respective homes. However, Ruan Huaishu took her to visit the study again and said that he wanted to buy something. I went back and read the two story books.

Shen Lansui couldn't refuse and went along.

It should be said that the creativity of the common people is very amazing, and the words are more open and bold than those of the future. She stood there and watched, fascinated.

Ruan Huaishu didn't call her, and the two of them just spent another hour in the study. Seeing the sun setting in the west, Shen Lansui asked to leave again, and Ruan Huaishu asked to go to the jewelry shop.

If what I said before makes sense, Ruan Huaishu had always stayed away from jewelry, and suddenly he wanted to go see it. No matter how he looked at it, there was something fishy about it.

No matter how slow you are, it’s time to get over it.

Shen Lansui grabbed the person and retreated to the corner, asking in a low voice: "Are you stalling for time?"
