Red apricots make spring

Chapter 163
Lu Ce happened not to go out that day, and when he heard Cai Yun say that Gentle was looking for him, he pondered for a while, and then he understood, he knew it, and sent Cai Yun away first, he put down the scroll in his hand and sat silently for a while , I walked out of the study to find Wen Rou.

"Are you looking for me?" Stepping into the door, Lu Ce glanced at Ruan Rou sitting by the window in a daze.

"Yeah." Rourou turned her head and said with a faint smile: "The sun is so nice, let's go for a walk in the garden. In a few days, I will stay at home and lie down and pretend to be sick."

Even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw the smile on her face mixed with a hint of melancholy, and heard her words, Lu Ce couldn't help but move slightly, and with his right hand behind his back, he clenched his fist tightly. For a moment, it seemed as if he wanted to clenched something tightly, but in the end he let go in vain, with a slight smile on the corner of his lips and said: "Okay."

The two walked all the way to the garden, neither of them spoke. They lowered their heads gently and focused on the road under their feet, but they were actually listening to the sound of Lu Ce's footsteps.It was very light, if it wasn't for the slight movement made by stepping on the fallen leaves, it would be almost inaudible, but it was this light footstep, as if stepping on her heart, moving with her heartbeat.

Finally, it was Lu Ce who spoke first and asked, "What will you do in the future, have you planned?"

Gentlely shook her head and said: "It's definitely impossible to stay in the capital, I don't know where I can go for a while, I want to hire a car, just go all the way there, and stay wherever I like. "

Thinking of finally working hard in Taihe City for a career, she suddenly said that she would leave everything behind and go away, but she was still reluctant to give up, but what she was going to do next was really deceiving the emperor, and she couldn't take any chances Mentally, stay here.There is only one life, she can't afford to gamble.

After hearing the words, Lu Ce was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, and said casually, "Let's go to Yunzhou City."

"Huh?" Rourou paused, Yunzhou?The name is a bit familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

"Remember once, after my grandfather left, you asked me why I fell out with my family?" Lu Ce lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"Remember." Wenrou looked away, not daring to look at him, for fear of looking at him one more time, and it would be more difficult to let go, she stared at the tip of the shoe and said, "You didn't answer."

Lu Ce stepped forward and continued to walk forward, and said calmly: "I committed the stubborn problem again. I confronted my father tit for tat in the court, and saved Mo Wanjiang, the prefect of Yunzhou who committed the crime, and argued with him again after returning home. After one fight, he was kicked out of the house."

"Your father's temper is so stubborn!" Wen Rou felt a little slip of the tongue after finishing speaking, and said awkwardly: "Sorry, I was a little out of choice."

Lu Ce smiled slightly and didn't mind, he just said, "He cares about me, but half of the reason is for my own good."

"How do you say that?" Wen Rou didn't quite understand.

"That day, the Holy Majesty wanted to punish the magistrate of Yunzhou severely, and most of the people agreed with the holy proposal. In front of all civil and military officials, I made the Holy Majesty speechless. I swept his face, which made Long Yan furious. Immediately, I will be punished for two years, and let me go back and think about my mistakes." Lu Ce's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "After I got home, my father taught me a lot, and said a lot about being an official. I only replied to him with four words, 'loyal to the king and love the people', and he kicked me out of the house. At first, I was very angry, but when I turned around, I thought about it again. He was probably afraid that the emperor would think more about it when he stepped back. The more angry you are, the more punishment you will receive at that time, so you drive me out of the house first, with the intention of calming the Holy Majesty's anger so that I will not be punished any more."

Lu Ce seldom spoke so much in one breath, and after he finished speaking, he fell silent and only paced forward slowly.

"Then—" Wenrou asked hesitantly, "Why didn't you go home later?"

"Go home?" Lu Ce said with a strange smile on his face, "How can I deprive grandfather of the joy of teaching his son?"

In a trance, Wen Rou saw a crow flying past his eyes, yapping, and was very speechless.

Lu Ce thought it was a bit funny when he thought about it. He didn't go home at first because he was angry, but later he couldn't help it. After all, he didn't feel that he had done something wrong and was kicked out. After returning, his father appointed His face sank, and he said indifferently: "Do you still have the face to come back?" At this moment, he completely felt that his life outside was quite comfortable, at least he didn't have to be scolded and scolded all day long, and he found out that his grandfather had Teach father's excuses, scold him every now and then, chase and beat him, he will rejuvenate his spirits, and even his body will become stronger. Why not do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?

The two of them thought about their own concerns, and walked for a while in silence.

Rourou then asked: "Then what happened to the magistrate of Yunzhou?"

"He?" Lu Ce said indifferently: "There is no danger, but nothing happened. He was dismissed and stayed for a year, and then he was reinstated."

With a thought in her heart, Rourou said: "You asked me to go to Yunzhou——"

"It's good to have a support." Lu Ce said calmly: "If you want to continue to do business, you will inevitably be harassed by local ruffians. If you meet officials who are greedy and cool, the money may not be enough to run the business. Mo Wanjiang is a good man. Guaner, Yunzhou is well managed by him, and it is suitable for living in peace."

"This...isn't so good, wouldn't it make you owe a debt of favor again?" Ruan felt that she had already owed him too much, and she was really embarrassed to bother him anymore. It is good to never see him again, so that he can be gradually forgotten. If I owe him a debt again, my heart will become more and more uneasy, how can I forget him.

"I'll take care of the household registration for you. I suggest you go to Yunzhou. I just know that Mo Wanjiang is a clean official. You can't avoid paying any taxes. How can you say you owe favors?" As Lu Ce said, he suddenly stopped, looked ahead and said, "I know you don't want to see me, don't worry, I won't disturb you."

This sentence, softly said, my heart skipped a beat twice, and I didn't know how to answer it.She really didn't want to see Lu Ce very much, but it wasn't because she hated it, but because she liked it.

Fortunately, Lu Ce quickly brought the topic up and said, "I'll take care of things for you after you leave, but you have to think about how you should explain it to your family."

right!This is another problem that makes her very headache!How should I say it?Said she didn't like Lu Ce, and was going to kick him after cheating?Or did it mean that Lu Ce didn't like her, but the concubine bestowed by the emperor couldn't divorce, so he let her pretend to be dead and leave?Both of these excuses are inappropriate. Marriage these days only pays attention to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. If the woman does not like the man, then she has to endure it, and she still has to regard her husband as higher than the sky. .If the man doesn't like the woman, he can take more concubines and let the woman keep the vacant house alone.She could even imagine Xiaohuan and Wen Gang's puzzled eyes when she explained, plus Mother Wen's inexplicable astonishment, unless——

"Lu Ce..." Rourou called him softly.

"Ok?"

"Help me act in a scene, how about letting Princess Anning take the blame?"

Lu Ce pondered for a while and said, "This excuse is barely feasible, okay, I promise you."

He readily agreed, Wen Rou didn't say anything more, the two of them walked to the edge of the pool and stopped, looking at the pool of blue waves, they were silent again.

I always feel that I should say something more. It is rare to be able to talk freely like this. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no chance again!Ruan felt melancholy in her heart, and after thinking for a long time, the words she opened her mouth were: "The pepper sauce and June persimmon sauce are left to you."

"it is good."

"It's all in the vacant room next to the firewood shed."

"Ah."

"I'll write a few more food lists, all of which are the old general's favorite dishes. If he wants to eat them later, you can ask the cook to cook them."

"Row."

"What do you like to eat? Tell me, and I will write down the food list as usual."

This time Lu Ce was silent for a while, and Fang said, "Let's have duck blood vermicelli soup."

"That's it?" Wen Rou was slightly surprised, but still nodded and said, "It's very easy!"

"There is no need to write the food list anymore, the cook can't make that taste." Lu Ce said lightly: "The two snack shops you have in the capital continue to open. If I want to eat, I will go there. As for the usual For the care of the shop in the day, and the wages of the clerks, I will let Yun Dan take care of it, and I will make a profit in the future, and I will send someone to send it to you every three months."

Gentle's heart beats again and again. In this way, isn't the two of them always entangled?It is a good thing to collect money every three months, but it is a tragedy to think of him every three months!She thought and thought, and finally refused ruthlessly: "The two shops are given to you, so there is no need to send someone to give me money."

Hearing this, Lu Ce frowned slightly, and then relaxed it again. He slowly turned his face, looked at Wen Rou and said nothing.

"What's the matter..." Rourou was stared down by his complicated eyes, and she didn't dare to look at him. She forced the corners of her lips to bend, and her smile was as bitter as a bowl of medicine that had been boiled for many years.

"Do you want to sever ties with me completely?"

Lu Ce seemed to be trying his best to restrain his emotions. His voice was very low, as if he was sighing softly. Before the gentleness could fully react, he was pulled into his arms the next moment. Then, his lips It stuck to it, but it didn't fall down after all, but stopped half an inch away from her lips.

This is the first time they are so close, this posture is so ambiguous, the gentle thoughts are instantly confused, I can only feel his tight body and the firm arms that bound her so that she cannot move, the blood immediately instinctively rushed It surged up, and it was hot from the face to the ears.

"sorry--"

Just when she was completely at a loss, the warm breath brought by Lu Ce's low whisper brushed her lips like a feather. Immediately afterwards, he let go of her and turned his back quickly. step away.
