The two chatted for a long time over tea and snacks. It was a rare opportunity for speculation. Shang Ruyi even kept Lei Yu down for a light meal. By the time she got up to leave, it was almost the hour.
Shang Ruyi walked her to the door.
Lei Yu mounted his horse and was about to leave. After thinking for a while, he looked back at Shang Ruyi and said softly: "I will soon go to Hebei with my father to put down the rebellion. What the outcome will be is yet to be known. In the days to come, we are afraid that it will be very difficult." It’s hard to see each other again.”
Shang Ruyi said: "You must be careful."
Lei Yu gave a wry smile, looked at her again, his eyes flickered and said, "In such troubled times, the few soldiers and horses in our hands are what we rely on to survive. Your Duke's office... must also be careful."
After saying that, he turned around, mounted his horse neatly, and left.
Shang Ruyi kept watching her back disappear at the end of the long street, thinking about what she had just said, pondering for a long time, and then slowly turned around and walked back.
As soon as she returned to the room, Chang Wan asked, "Young lady, do you want to prepare dinner?"
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "Let the kitchen be prepared for dad and second brother. I won't need it here."
"yes."
Chang Wan responded, turned around and went down.
As Shang Ruyi sat down, he raised his head and glanced at her again. The sage was growing very well. It was rare to see such a maid with such thin skin and tender flesh. She had a graceful figure and had a slight smell of willow Fufeng when she walked. Shang Ruyi looked at it. I also think her back looks pretty.
Tu Sheer, on the other hand, glanced at it and turned back to Shang Ruyi, again looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Feeling her hesitation, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I've been holding you back all afternoon and I'm almost going to get sick from it."
Tu Sheer was about to say something in a hurry, but after thinking about it, he slowed down and said, "Why did Miss choose her?"
Shang Ruyi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh?"
"My servant heard that the Duke originally planned to ask Aunt Yun to serve the young lady. She is reliable and good. Why did the young lady not choose her instead of this Changwan?"
"What's wrong? Didn't you always say that Chang Wan is nice? Why don't you like her now?"
"It's one thing to say good things about her, but it's another thing to serve the young lady and uncle."
Shang Ruyi looked at her with a smile: "Why is it different?"
Tusheer bit her lower lip, and finally said softly: "My uncle got up early this morning, and usually the servants would serve him, but today, she rushed over to help him change his clothes and put on his shoes, without letting anyone else help him." hand."
"..."
Shang Ruyi was slightly startled.
Tu Sheer whispered again: "Especially when she went to dress my uncle, she looked so intimate."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then said with a calm smile: "It's not bad, it makes you all lazy."
"no,"
Tusheer pursed her lips and said: "This slave is not a lazy person. What matters is the way she looks when she does these things, as if, as if -" She held it in for a long time, and finally said softly: "It's like, My uncle should be hers..."
After saying these words, Tu Sheer also blushed a little.
Shang Ruyi glanced at her.
After a long silence, she smiled and said, "You are usually slow, but you are quite smart about this matter."…
Tusheer looked at her with wide eyes: "Miss, what do you mean-"
Shang Ruyi said: "Fool, you can tell whether you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Why can't you see that Chang Wan will be given to Yu Wenye sooner or later?"
"...?!"
Tu Sheer looked in disbelief.
Shang Ruyi sighed and said with a wry smile: "Have you forgotten what you said about Chang Wan when the waiter falsely accused her? You said she was arrogant and arrogant. She had studied for several years and was not a normal mother. Let her do the rough work."
"yes."
"Let me ask you, which royal family do you think would raise such a person?"
"..."
"My mother was
She is a simple person and doesn't like liveliness the most. Aunt Yun is the only one who can serve her personally on weekdays. Why does she need an eldest man to follow her and not do menial work? What's the purpose? "
Tusheer suddenly came back to his senses: "Could it be...?"
At this point, her face turned a little red.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Generally, if a wealthy man has not married a wife until he is sixteen or seventeen years old, his family will definitely give him a maid to take care of his food and daily life, and secondly, he will be afraid that he will be taken outside. If you learn to be bad, it will be bad if you contract some unclean disease. Therefore, as a mother, you will definitely choose a young and beautiful girl by your side and prepare it in advance, and give it to your son when she is old.
This evergreen was obviously chosen by Guan Yunmu.
I just don’t know why I didn’t give it to Yu Wenye until they got married, but this time Yu Wenyuan asked him how to choose, obviously to test her temperament, and Shang Ruyi chose her, which can be regarded as smooth sailing.
Tu Sheer was bored for a long time, then looked at Shang Ruyi again and said softly: "Miss, don't you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"
…
Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, but at this time, she did not feel the uncontrollable depression in her heart, but recalled the words Yu Wenye had said to her -
It's just a transaction.
Since it is a transaction, then why is it so uncomfortable when money and goods are lost? She was just doing her duty as Mrs. Yuwen.
So he smiled and said, "What's so uncomfortable about this?"
Although Tushe'er knew that it was best if she didn't feel uncomfortable, when he heard her say that she didn't feel uncomfortable, he felt uneasy for some reason and muttered: "But, you and my uncle have been married for less than a year, so--Miss, it's really a little bit... I don’t even feel it.”
Shang Ruyi said calmly: "No."
Seeing what Tusheer wanted to ask, she didn't want to listen to her anymore, so she interrupted her and said, "I am his wife, and more importantly, I am the daughter-in-law of the Duke of the country."
"..."
"These are what I should do."
Tu Sheer was startled: "The Duke's daughter-in-law?"
"That's right,"
As soon as this identity was mentioned, Shang Ruyi's expression and even his belief became firmer, saying: "As the daughter-in-law of the prince, it is enough for me to fulfill this identity. Any other feelings are superfluous. She gave up. Son, don’t say these words again in the future, it doesn’t sound good, do you understand?”
"..."
For some reason, the two of them grew up together. Tusheer knew very well how soft and affectionate her young lady was, but now, or rather, since she got married, she had become unusually cold and hard.
Although this may not be bad, she is always worried about her.
But now that it was hard to say anything more, Tusheer could only say softly: "I understand."
"Okay, go out and see how the kitchen is preparing. If dad and second brother haven't come back yet, let them heat the food first so that they can eat it hot when they come back."
"yes."
Tusheer responded, turned around and walked out.
But just as she opened the door, she suddenly let out a panicked cry: "Ah!".
