Chapter 18

A small stove was burning on the table, and sake was "gurgling" on the stove, and there were several dishes of side dishes beside the wine.The aroma of wine is accompanied by the heat, but some people's minds are not on it.

"I already caught that killer, but I didn't expect it to fall short!" The more Xiao Chengfeng thought about it, the more regretful he became, wishing to turn back the clock, he immediately removed the man's jaw, "Cousin, what do we do now?"

Du Youning poured the wine calmly, shook the glass with his fingers, slowly put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then took a sip of the wine, and nodded with satisfaction: "The wine has a strong aroma and a sweet taste. It is really good wine. Does this wine have any taste?" Name?" For some reason, Du Youning always felt that the taste of this wine was somewhat familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember when he drank it.

When mentioning this wine, Xiao Chengfeng thought of that person, raised the wine glass and put it to his lips, with a warm smile on his face: "This wine is called Wuliangchun, and Ah Ruo brewed it himself. My cousin is like me. Once it’s stained, you can’t buy it anywhere else!”

her?Du Youning suddenly remembered when she had smelled this smell. Wasn't she using this wine to suture her wound that day?

Seeing his cousin showing that strange expression again, Xiao Chengfeng couldn't help shaking his hand in front of him, pouted and said, "Cousin, what are you thinking, I can't adapt to laughing."

Du Youning turned his head and raised his chin at Xiao Chengfeng: "I'm thinking of Miss Gu, she is very special."

"Of course." Xiao Chengfeng nodded immediately, with a haughty look on his face, as if he was being praised, he talked freely, "Ah Ruo is different from others. Except for Ah Ruo, who would think of pouring sweat medicine into the quilt to let the thief hit herself?" Trick, which woman can use white ash to break through that person's blindness? Cousin, you don't know that Ah Ruo's vision is actually much wider than that of ordinary men. He has a calm personality and a kind heart. Let me tell you..." Xiao Chengfeng excitedly pulled his cousin to talk about his daily life with Gu Ruo, but he didn't know that his cousin's thoughts had already drifted far away.

Just when she was thinking about how to break the man's secret technique, Gu Ruo said softly, "General, I have something I want to show you."

Du Youning nodded slightly, and said, "Miss please."

Gu Ruo took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it on his left hand, then took out a handkerchief to cover it, wrapped his right hand around a few times, then lifted the handkerchief, his hand was empty, and the silver was gone.

Xiao Chengfeng was full of surprise and said: "Ah Ruo can do tricks? Where did the silver go?"

Gu Ruo let him scrutinize her, and put the veil on her hand again with a calm demeanor, and lifted it off again, and the silver tael suddenly appeared in her hand again.

"It's just a blindfold. In fact, the silver has always been in my hands," Gu Ruo said with a smile. "Sometimes the eyes can be deceived, but what is false is false. If you can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there. I think maybe we can't see it." I can see the figure of the murderer, but he must be there. If you sprinkle some white ash on the ground, you can judge his whereabouts from the footprints. Also, adults say that you use a pillow instead of a person. Since he can lift the quilt, we might as well Let’s add something more. Coincidentally, I recently developed the ‘Seven Steps Down’, which can cause fainting if inhaled, so can you use him to test the medicine for me?”

She is really different.

Thinking of her calmly treating her wound, thinking of her offering a plan to catch a thief, thinking of her smiling at herself...

"you like her?"

"Huh?" Xiao Chengfeng was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head in denial, "How could that be, nothing!" Having said that, his face suddenly turned red, not because of drinking, but as if he was being raped by someone. I broke my mind.

Du Youning suddenly felt uncomfortable, got up and opened the door, Xiao Chengfeng asked in surprise, "Where are you going, cousin?"

"I went to the kitchen and suddenly wanted to eat a bowl of wonton." Du Youning strode out without looking back.

Xiao Chengfeng shrugged, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, looking like a rich man again.

After all, Du Youning still didn't eat wontons. If Gu Ruo wasn't in the kitchen, the cook would make them, and it wasn't what he wanted to eat.Thinking that he would return to Beijing tomorrow, Du Youning's mood was very complicated, and he walked to Gu Ruo's door before he knew it.Why did he come? Maybe it was because he was afraid of seeing her again, so he wanted to say goodbye to her; but how to say goodbye to her and in what capacity, Du Youning didn't know.

General Du, who has always been brave and courageous, just stood in front of a widow's door, hesitating.It wasn't until the sound of that person's footsteps was heard inside that he hurried back to the room, for fear of being seen by her.Du Youning leaned against the door, feeling at a loss for the first time.

Early the next morning, Du Youning left for Beijing. Before leaving, he patted Xiao Chengfeng on the shoulder, saying that he would see you again in a few days.Xiao Chengfeng asked blankly, cousin will be back soon?Du Youning smiled, didn't say anything else to him, and got on the horse.Gu Ruo didn't come to see Du Youning off. At that time, she was dressing the sleepy Xiao Wu in the house, and she didn't think about sending him off at all.Du Youning waited for a while but didn't see her coming, he was a little disappointed, he might not see her again.

Xiao Liu'er stood at the door, tiptoeing and waving farewell to Master Biao.Looking at the young master Biao who was straight and straight, Xiao Liu'er felt that he was a little unhappy for no reason. Could it be because Sister Gu didn't come to see him off?Before he could figure out why, Du Youning rode his horse away, his posture was chic and imposing, and the previous feeling of loneliness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Even if Chengfeng was transferred back to Beijing, he could still come to see her. As for the name, he could just treat her as a savior.Du Youning thought about it, and now he smiled.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, only ten days before New Year's Eve, Xiao Chengfeng received a transfer order.

The emperor was very satisfied with his political achievements in Lin'an, and as a commendation, he was named the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, with a fourth-rank official residence, and announced that he would return to Beijing immediately to serve in the next year.

However, within half a year, the official position has been promoted three levels in a row. If such a good thing was put on someone else, I am afraid that he would have been ecstatic.But Xiao Chengfeng couldn't be happy at all, holding the imperial decree and feeling worried.

If someone had told him half a year ago that he could go back to Beijing, Xiao Chengfeng would definitely have packed up and left while humming a little song, Youzai Youzai.No matter how you say it, the capital city is also his territory, and the fun is always much more than that in Lin'an.But now Xiao Chengfeng didn't feel it anymore. In the six months since he came to Lin'an, Xiao Chengfeng solved many cases. Although sometimes he just helped people find a chicken or a goose, that was the sunny day master in the hearts of the people.Yamen servants can't be said to be diligent or lazy, but whenever they give orders, they will follow them seriously.Even if it was Xu Yin, Xiao Chengfeng felt that he was extremely reluctant to part with him, alas!
The ones Xiao Chengfeng couldn't let go of the most were naturally Gu Ruo and Xiao Wu.Rationally, Xiao Chengfeng knows that anyone can live like a fish in water without Gu Ruo, but emotionally, Xiao Chengfeng still feels that she cannot live without his own care.If he went back to Beijing and left Ah Ruo here, what would happen to Ah Ruo?

Yes, no matter how reluctant he is, Ah Ruo will never feel sad for himself.Without herself, she would still live well.She is so beautiful, there are not a few men who want to marry her.Take the past six months as an example, there were three people who proposed marriage to her in front of her, and there were hundreds or even a dozen who handed her tokens behind her back, all of which were sent out by herself.

But what if he left?Will Ah Ruo be married off by other men? What if a good girl is afraid of pestering her?The more Xiao Chengfeng thought about it, he became angrier. He must not let Ah Ruo be coaxed away by the wild man, if only he could take her away!
take her away?Xiao Chengfeng's eyes lit up, and he had a plan.

Gu Ruo had heard Xiao Liuer brag about his young master's return to Beijing early in the morning, so he didn't care when Xiao Chengfeng came here with the imperial decree, so he naturally congratulated him.

How could Xiao Chengfeng want to hear her say congratulations? He galloped all the way and panted heavily without waiting for a rest: "Ah Ruo, take Xiao Wu and let's go to Beijing together!"

Gu Ruo looked up at him, and when he was about to speak, Xiao Chengfeng snatched it away: "Don't you like medical skills? Famous doctors are everywhere in the capital, and you can see more things then. Haven't you always wanted to open a medical clinic?" , I can help you. When you go to the capital, we will take care of each other. In fact, think about it, besides Xiao Wu, what else can you not give up in Lin'an? In other words, when you go to the capital, you can do what you want with peace of mind For the matter, you have Xiao Wu and me; if you are in Lin’an, you only have Xiao Wu, and you don’t even have anyone you can trust, so I can’t worry about you! So, come with me to the capital, Ah Ruo, you will Love it there."

"This……"

Gu Ruo really didn't think about this before, even though she was a little bit reluctant to know that Xiao Chengfeng was going to leave, she didn't have the idea of ​​going to Beijing with him.Hearing what he said now, Gu Ruo really felt that what he said was quite reasonable.In this world, apart from Xiao Wu, I really have nothing to worry about.The only one who can be regarded as a good friend seems to be Xiao Chengfeng.I heard that the Zhou family still has a bunch of unreliable relatives who are eyeing him. If Xiao Chengfeng goes ahead, these top relatives will drag him to be a concubine for some [-]-year-old man.

On balance, going to the capital seems to be much better than staying in Lin'an.

Just when Xiao Chengfeng was about to talk to persuade her, Gu Ruo nodded seriously, and said to Xiao Chengfeng: "Then I will go to Beijing with you."

Xiao Chengfeng was taken aback for a moment, and then ecstatically, Taohua's eyes shone brightly: "It's a deal!"

Gu Ruo also smiled: "I need to trouble Master Xiao to take care of you."

Xiao Chengfeng raised his chin and said to himself: "No problem, I will cover you! With me here, it doesn't matter if you walk sideways in the capital."

Gu Ruo gave him a reproachful look, and said amusedly, "I'm not a crab, why am I walking sideways." Xiao Chengfeng squinted his eyes and just laughed.

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is suitable for marriage and travel.The dude son of Prime Minister Xiao's family returned to Beijing on this day.

It is said that his official position was promoted to the fourth rank.

It is said that the girls in Hualou Wine Lane were very happy when they heard the news.

It is said that this time, he brought back a little widow who also had a son.

All of a sudden, there were rumors and different opinions, and it was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
