Red apricots make spring

Chapter 174 politely refused
Wen Rou was slightly startled, feeling that the atmosphere had suddenly become a little ambiguous, she quickly changed the subject and joked: "When you say that, I have to wonder whether I just lent you money or gave you money."

"I... didn't mean that..." Ye Yu lowered his head.

"I know." Gentle sighed secretly, and said seriously: "I have always treated you as a younger brother, and you must be considerate when taking care of your family. Besides, I can only help you in a limited way, and I haven't treated you too well. You don't have to let go In my heart."

Ye Yu is a bit sensitive and has a strong self-esteem. She can't be irresponsible to alienate him for no reason. She can only use words to make a point and express her heart in a disguised form. I hope he can understand and understand. If it hurts him, she is sorry. , but it is much better than having an ambiguous attitude, making him hopeful, and doubly indulging in this hopeless relationship.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, he lowered his head and walked silently for a long time before he said, "I'm older than you, not your younger brother."

Ye Yu didn't directly confess, but anyone can understand the meaning of these words, Wen Rou didn't want to pretend to be stupid anymore, she smiled, and said casually: "Ye Yu, if you marry a wife in the future, you want to be with that person Are the two happy?"

Ye Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"If you can't be happy with each other, do you want to marry someone who loves you, or someone you love?"

It was a difficult question to choose, but Ye Yu answered without hesitation this time: "The one I love."

Gentlely nodded, she used to think the same way, but with the deepening of experience, her thoughts inevitably changed, she just sighed: "If I can't marry someone who loves me, I'd rather marry someone who doesn't love me. "

Ye Yu's body visibly trembled, the expression on his face was struggling, and he couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"Since we can't be in love with each other, then the person who loves me must be someone I don't love." Rourou felt that she was a bit cruel when she said this, she frowned slightly, and after a pause, she continued: "If married like this For those who are married, there may be a period of time after I get married. I will be cared for wholeheartedly by the other party, and I will be taken care of very thoughtfully. , or irritable or increasingly depressed, feel that their efforts are not worth it, this kind of negative emotion will grow and spread in the heart, and it will become more and more out of control, then the contradictions and frictions in life will be inevitable, and the days will pass slowly I can't go down."

Gentle words are not easy for people to understand. Ye Yu pondered for a long while before saying, "According to what you say, can you just pick anyone and marry?"

"How can it be so easy!" If it could be so easy, she wouldn't have to worry about it, "You have to choose someone who doesn't hate each other, has some admirable advantages, and has a relatively good character, right? There is no need for extra pay and rewards. Leave a little space in your heart for yourself. After a long time, you may be able to develop some feelings. Although this kind of life is not passionate, there is always some warmth..."

As she spoke softly, she felt touched in her heart, but she remained silent.Probably, this is the life of most ordinary people. There is not much love between husband and wife, and there is only family affection derived from long-term relationship.Such things as love are not indispensable in life, and the gratification of two feelings is not something that can be obtained by wanting. How many people in this world can love their wives for a lifetime like Lu Chenzhou?

Although some words and sentences in the gentle words are very strange, Ye Yu can still understand the general meaning, and also knows that she is rejecting him in a disguised form, and her mood is doubled. Tell Wenrou that as long as he can be with her, he will be satisfied, even if she doesn't love him, he will treat her well for the rest of his life.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again. He didn't want to be gentle and rejected him more simply and clearly. In this way, there was no room for turning around, and the words were sometimes very weak, and the oath was not so much for winning the trust The other party, it is more accurate to say that he came to strengthen himself. He does not want to be a person who can only talk empty words, and gentleness is not a person who will be moved by words. If he really wants to be with her, he should use actions to win and prove it. better.

He didn't want to just give up like this, he still hoped in his heart that maybe one day, Rou Rou would fall in love with him, so wouldn't they be able to have a happy relationship?Ye Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the loss and sadness in his heart, and said softly, "I'll learn how to cook with you later."

"Okay." Gentle nodded in response, and looked at Ye Yu, wondering if he had really figured it out, but she didn't have the intention to pursue it at the moment, after all, a relationship can't just be let go, it will always take time Take some time to slowly forget, just like herself, isn't she also trying to adapt to the life without Lu Ce?

The two were silent for a while, both deliberately avoided the topic just now, and walked back home slowly, as for lying on the bed at night, whether they would be full of worries, tossing and turning, only they knew in their hearts.

It is not a matter of overnight to arrange a home, and there are a lot of fragmentary things.Waking up the next day, Rourou spent a long time cleaning the inside and outside of the house again, while Ye Yu planted flowers and plants in the back garden and cleaned the pool.In the afternoon, the two of them took some time to go out and bought some things back. When they passed by the Flower and Bird Market, Rourou also picked out a few red carps that were easy to feed, and prepared to raise them in the pond at that time.

In the next few days, the two of them spent most of their time shopping, looking around for any suitable restaurants for sale, but there are many large and small restaurants in Yunzhou City, but the business is very good, and the soles of their shoes are It's almost worn out, and I haven't found any restaurants for sale.

This is the tragedy of not having money. If you have money, Wen Rou can build a restaurant by yourself. Anyway, the land in ancient times is worthless, so cheap that it is almost free. What is valuable is the wood and bricks used to build the house.

"It's not a way to spend it like this." Ye Yu shook his head and said, "Who knows when we will be able to buy a restaurant."

Sitting and eating is not a gentle habit, she thought for a while and said: "If I really open a restaurant, I don't have any suitable staff, so why not open two shops first, so that I can pick some experienced hands from them."

"Still selling Seven Star Fish Balls and Meat Yan?" Ye Yu thought it was inappropriate.

Gentle shook his head and smiled: "Isn't that self-exposed and hidden?"

What to sell, you can think about it slowly after you go back, anyway, you can open a small shop with a capital of 50 taels of silver, and even a larger shop, the capital will not exceed 200 taels of silver, this point, gentleness does not worry , looked up to see that it was still early, and said with a smile: "I'm tired from walking today, why don't you go to Mo Wanjiang?"

"Looking for Lord Mo?" Ye Yu frowned, completely unprepared.

"Yeah." Rourou said, turned her head and looked at both sides of the street, found a pastry shop and stepped in, picked four-color pastries, held them in her hand, and went to the government office to look for Mo Wanjiang.

The county magistrate here usually lives in the back hall of the yamen for the convenience of work. Rourou originally thought that the officials were not so easy to see, at least she had to report to them layer by layer. She even prepared a few pieces of silver, intending to stuff them Give it to the gatekeeper, let him be more accommodating, who knows that Fang Bao actually filled in the pseudonym Wen Xin, and even the biography is not required, so the gatekeeper led her and Ye Yu inside to meet Mo Wanjiang, laughing along the way Said: "My lord has been waiting for you for many days."

"Wait for me?" Wen Rou was slightly surprised.

"Yes, my lord said that in recent days, if there is a girl surnamed Wen who asks to see her, she should be brought in to see him immediately." The gatekeeper said, secretly glanced at her in men's clothes from the corner of his eye.

Wen Rou pondered for a while, and knew that Yun Dan must have greeted him in advance. In fact, this was a solid move. Lu Ce could have asked Yun Dan to send it directly to Mo Wanjiang, so he had to make a detour and let her deliver it in person, probably because he wanted to Let Mo Wanjiang get to know her so that he can take care of her in the future. Anyway, favors are always owed, so she didn't think about it anymore, and followed the doorman to the hall for guests.

The meeting went smoothly. Mo Wanjiang looked like a white-faced scholar in his thirties, with a brilliant and upright personality, but his speech was gentle and amiable, without any official arrogance, just like Lu Ce said, He is a good official. Even though he accepted Lu Ce's favor and filled in Yunzhou's household registration for Rou Rou, he also stated in advance that the taxes that should be paid are inevitable. As for obeying the rules and the like, he did not She said, thinking about it, she felt that a gentle woman would not be able to do anything against the law.

Regarding Ye Yu's gratitude, he only reasoned that these are the things that an official should do, and then chatted with Ye Yu for a few more words, praising him as a formidable young man, with good knowledge, and moved a little bit of his love for talents, asking Is he interested in career.

This proposal moved Ye Yu's mind slightly, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he just lowered his head and pondered. Mo Wanjiang saw that he hesitated to answer, so he didn't force him to ask. Famous clerk, if he is interested, he can also try it.

The two stayed for less than half an hour before leaving the government office. Fortunately, they didn't see that annoying Xu Xiucai. They each heaved a sigh of relief, bought some rice and vegetables on the way back, and lit a fire to cook.
