??The spirit was raised, the funeral was carried out, and then the spirit was sent to Banyan Temple. It was a busy three days.
??When the final spiritual ceremony was over, the day they stayed at Banyan Temple happened to be New Year's Eve, but everyone was no longer in the mood to celebrate the festival. Everyone just ate a hearty vegetarian meal in silence, and then went back to their respective places. Rest in the layman's grove on the mountain behind the temple.
??Since it is a dormitory in Jushilin, it is naturally very simple. After Shang Ruyi took a bath, he walked into the dormitory and saw that the room was spacious, with two rooms inside and outside, with only a gauze curtain in the middle, but there was only one bed. It is located against the wall in the inner room. There are only two low tables and a few blankets in the outer room, and there are no other decorations.
??Shang Ruyi suddenly frowned——
??Here, how do you want them to sleep?
??However, when she looked up and looked around, she found that there was no sign of Yu Wenye. Logically speaking, he should have gone to shower and change clothes first, and he should have returned to his room first. Why was he missing instead?
??Did he go to sleep in another room?
??But when we just had the fast meal, the abbot of Banyan Temple came over and said that the dormitories in Jushilin were not enough, so even Aunt Hui and Jinyun had to squeeze in to live in one room. As husband and wife, he and Yu Wenye, It is even less possible for them to arrange separately.
??Shang Ruyi thought about it and didn't dare to lie down first. After all, she had learned from that night and she really didn't want to show any signs of panic in front of Yu Wenye again.
??So she put on a coat, opened the door and walked out.
??Everyone was really tired after being busy for the past few days. They closed the door early and went to bed. In the entire lay forest, there were only some insects and birds chirping in the forest. On the contrary, it made the night more quiet, and even her gentle footsteps could not be heard. It seems a bit abrupt.
??Shang Ruyi walked twice in the yard. As soon as he reached the gate of the Jushi Forest, he heard the voices of two people talking on the long bluestone road outside——
??"So when he came to stay for the night half a year ago, it was the last time you saw him?"
??"yes."
??"Where did they go after that?"
"Second Young Master, please forgive me. The Eldest Young Master's whereabouts are always elusive and he is alone. We cannot inquire at will."
??"Alone..."
??The voices were Yu Wenye and Zen Master Duhai, the abbot of Banyan Temple. The tone of their words was neither high nor low, and it didn't look like they were having a secret conversation. But when Shang Ruyi heard these words, he subconsciously stopped. After thinking about it again, he immediately turned around and returned to the room.
??Even after closing the door and approaching the brazier beside the bed, she still felt chills rising from the soles of her feet.
??When she was in a daze, the door of the dormitory 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 mud in his hand.
??Shang Ruyi suddenly became a little nervous. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him with her back stiff.
??Yu Wenye also looked at her.
??After a long while, a faint sneer appeared on his face and he said, "Don't worry, you can sleep on your own."
After saying that, he did not go inside, but walked to the outside and sat down on a low table. He poured the cloth bag in his hand on the table and poured out a bag of stones, which rolled all over the table.
??Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment - what is this for?
??At this time, she couldn't lie down to sleep, nor could she go out to look. She could only sit by the bed and watch through the curtains. Yu Wenye ignored the mud on the stones, either gathering them or scattering them, and arranged them into a pattern. Various shapes, then moved a few more, looked again, moved a few more. ….
??It’s like a child playing a game.
?? After playing with it for a while, he seemed to feel Shang Ruyi's gaze. He turned around and looked at her with a tired look on her face and still refused to lie down. For some reason, her face became even uglier. He sneered, "What? Do you feel relieved if someone ties me up?"
??"No, it's not."
??Shang Ruyi probably knew that he was referring to what happened that night. Although it was clearly his fault, but for some reason, when he mentioned it now, it seemed like he
She had a high self-esteem and was even more sentimental. She didn't want to get too serious with him. After all, Guan Yunmu had just passed away, and this mother was really good to her.
??So she picked up a blanket from the bed and walked out, handing it to him.
??"If it's cold, put it on."
??「……」
??Yu Wenye only raised his head and glanced at her without saying anything. He took the blanket away and placed it coldly at his feet.
??After doing all this, Shang Ruyi did not turn around and leave, but still stood beside him, looking at the different shapes of the stones on the table. Yu Wenye was silent for a while, and then said: "You still Don’t you want to go back to sleep?”
??Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "I will not apologize to you for what happened that day, because I was right."
??"snort."
??"But, I want to make peace with you."
??「……」
??Yu Wenye took a breath and looked up at her again, with a faint throbbing in his eyes.
??After a long while, he said: "Why?"
??Shang Ruyi slowly sat on the blanket, looked straight into his eyes and said to him: "You once said that we are in a transaction, not a confrontation. It will not do any good to the two of us if we continue to be hostile like this. In any case, in the eyes of outsiders, Here, we are still husband and wife, aren’t we?”
??She has been busy these days, but her mind is thinking clearly.
??Although she only regards being the daughter-in-law of the Duke's family as her greatest support in life, after all, it is impossible for the Duke to be by her side to protect her all the time. At home, without the help of her husband Yu Wenye Help, she, the young lady, will still have a hard time doing it.
??For example, that day, she couldn't even recruit anyone under Mu Xian, which was evident.
??「……」
??Yu Wenye looked at her, and his originally calm breathing became rapid at this time.
??Even his chest heaved violently a few times.
??For a long while, he seemed to be angry, but also seemed to be relieved and smiled lightly, and said: "You remember my words very clearly."
??Shang Ruyi remembered that she had used his words to deal with him several times. Sometimes it was a dispute, and sometimes it was a relief. She couldn't tell what kind of relationship he was referring to at the moment, but he still said sincerely: "We Let’s make peace, okay?”
??「……」
??Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, then suddenly turned his head and snorted: "I didn't fall out with you."
??When he heard this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile a little.
??This is what reconciliation means.
?? She breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, and her whole body relaxed. She couldn't help but look at the stones on the table, and asked softly: "What are you putting here?"
??Yu Wenye did not look back at her, he fiddled with a few more pebbles and said, "Look, see if you can see it."…
??「……」
??Shang Ruyi looked at it for a while: "Are you arranging troops?"
??Yu Wenye was startled and turned to look at her: "Do you understand?"
??Shang Ruyi shook his head: "I don't understand, but when I was young, my father would play with the stones in the yard like this at home when he had nothing to do."
??Yu Wenye looked at her with twinkling eyes for a while, without saying anything, but turned back and continued to play with his. Shang Ruyi also looked at her for a while, and murmured: "But what you are playing with is not the terrain of Xingluocang. "
??「……!」
??Yu Wenye did not look back at her this time, but paused his fingers slightly, and then said: "Why do you think I will arrange the Xingluocang formation?"
??At this time, tiredness had gradually set in. Shang Ruyi felt his eyelids getting heavy for a while, but he still managed to pull himself together and answer him: "Your Majesty is obviously not a normal favor for canonizing you at my mother's funeral this time. Reward is more like an emergency call, and canonization during the funeral should give you a period of time to prepare; plus Xingluocang, such an important place was occupied by Wang Gang's army, the court must have
Send troops to conquer. A two-sided response, I guess, might send you. "
??Yu Wenye was silent for a long time and 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 blocked, and secondly, there seemed to be something else intruding on his thoughts, making him unable to arrange his troops with peace of mind. Set up the formation.
??After being silent for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "You know His Majesty's character very well."
??「……」
??"What will happen between you and him?"
?? Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders.
??He turned around and saw that Shang Ruyi had fallen asleep at some point, with his head tilted on his shoulder.
??Suddenly, his whole body froze, and a pebble in his hand fell to the table with a clatter.
??Shang Ruyi was a light sleeper. She frowned subconsciously, but she was still confused. She felt a warmth on her ears. Suddenly, she could no longer hear any sounds, and a warm breath surrounded her. She felt Feeling a reassuring sense of tolerance, I slowly fell asleep again.
??After a sleep, it’s the next morning.
??It was rare for Shang Ruyi to sleep so sweetly, especially when he could smell the scent of sandalwood and feel the warmth of the iron on his body, and even felt reluctant to wake up.
??However, her instinct still made her slowly open her eyes.
??As soon as she opened her eyes, she was shocked again. She suddenly sat up and realized that she was sleeping on the bed in the back room, still covered with the blanket she handed to Yu Wenye last night.
??There was no figure of Yu Wenye around him. When he turned to look outside, he saw that there was no one at the table either.
??Even those stones are gone.
??Having experienced the last Zhanping River Station, she also knew that she must have fallen asleep next to him and then been carried to bed by him, although there was not the sudden closeness and skin-to-skin contact that made her uneasy like the previous few nights. , but she still couldn't help but blush, holding her head in regret.
??Why, fell asleep again!
??Fortunately, Tu Sheer and the others came to help her get up quickly, and Shang Ruyi did not dare to neglect it. Today was the first day of the new year, and it was also the day when they were going home after the funeral. She hurriedly arranged everything and waited for half a month. Yansi, Yu Wenyuan and the others are also ready, and the family is going home.
??In the crowd, Shang Ruyi saw Yu Wenye, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a calm face, standing out like a flock of chickens.
??The two of them looked at each other, and her face suddenly felt a little hot.
??It was not easy to say anything, so he followed the others down the mountain. But when he got on the boat at the ferry, looking at the sparkling river, Shang Ruyi suddenly thought of something, and his steps suddenly sank.
??At this time, a familiar breath approached from behind.
??I heard Yu Wenye’s quiet voice saying in my ear: “What’s wrong?”.
