The answer seems obvious.
Even before Shang Ruyi opened her mouth to answer, she heard Yu Wenye next to her snort, as if he already knew her answer and there would be no surprises.
What she wanted to do was never to be Yu Wenye's wife, but to be Sheng Guogong's daughter-in-law.
However, Shang Ruyi did not answer immediately.
After pondering for a while, she raised her head and said softly: "Dad, I think it's better to stay in Luoyang for the time being."
As soon as he said this, others were okay. Yu Wenye suddenly turned back to look at her, with a rare clear emotion on his face - incredible, obviously he did not expect that she would make such a choice.
Feeling his gaze, Shang Ruyi raised his head and glanced at him, then immediately lowered his head.
Yu Wenye seemed to feel that his emotions were too exposed at this moment, so he quickly looked away, while Yu Wenyuan, who was sitting above, took in all this, with a smile at the corner of his eyes, and said: "Well, since this It's your own decision, so dad won't say anything more. However, in order to ensure your safety, dad will leave two hundred people for you."
Shang Ruyi was stunned and looked at Yu Wenyuan in surprise.
He gave himself two hundred people?
Does this mean that you want to lead the army?
Although she has always praised herself as the escort general Shang Ruohong, she always likes to discuss some military affairs with Yu Wenye, and even gave advice to the emperor during the crisis in Yanmen County, but all of this is just "talking". , she had never really led troops, and now, Yu Wenyuan actually gave her two hundred men at once?
Shang Ruyi was suddenly a little surprised: "Dad, this is-"
Yu Wenyuan said: "Don't think too much. Dad just thinks that after Dad is gone and Ye'er has to go on an expedition again, I won't worry about leaving you alone in Luoyang. In today's world -"
At this point, he paused for a moment, and there seemed to be thousands of words that followed, all of which were drowned out by the long sigh he followed.
At this time, Shang Ruyi seemed to remember the last words Lei Yu said to her when he left.
"In such troubled times, the few soldiers and horses in our hands are what we rely on to survive."
Unexpectedly, she had just finished saying this when she left, and immediately, this sentence came true in Yu Wenyuan's hands, which made Shang Ruyi a little admired, but when she thought about it again, this was not what Lei Yu could do. No matter what, the world is like this. Only those who have soldiers and horses in their hands really have a little chance of survival.
She immediately said: "Thank you dad."
Yu Wenyuan nodded, and then said: "Since you are staying in Luoyang, Cheng'er's affairs will be left to you. As my sister-in-law, please be more careful."
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "What did you say, dad? We are all of the same family. This is what Ruyi should do."
So, this important matter was discussed and decided.
They chatted for a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms. Just like when they came, Yu Wenye was still walking in front, and Shang Ruyi followed him thoughtfully, thinking about his choice just now, and for a moment She was also a little upset - the choice had been made, but whether it was right or wrong, and what kind of fate it would bring to her, who could know?
She fears the unknown future more than anyone else. ….
Just when her mind was in a mess, they had already walked back to the door of the room, but Yu Wenye put his hand on the door, but did not push the door open immediately, but stood still at the door, Shang Ruyi was still lost. She walked forward in a daze and bumped into his back.
"Ouch!"
She let out a low cry, touched her forehead and looked up, only to see Yu Wenye looking back at her.
She was about to apologize subconsciously, but when she met Yu Wenye's gaze, her heart suddenly moved - his gaze was completely different from the cold and stiff look when he came back just now, as if he was about to devour someone.
It seems to be a little softer.
What's wrong with him? It seems that after going to the hot house, my mood has improved?
Shang Ruyi said: "What's wrong?"
Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, but didn't say anything. He opened the door and went in. Shang Ruyi was confused and could only follow.
Walking into the room, as soon as they entered, they found that there was already someone in the room, it was Chang Wan who had just started serving them today.
She was making a bed for the two of them, arranging the pillows, bedding, etc., and lowering half of the curtains.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, she hurriedly turned around and saluted them: "Master, young lady."
"..."
For some reason, when he saw her, Yu Wenye's expression suddenly darkened again, and he said coldly: "Get out!"
This almost scolding sound made Chang Wan tremble in fright, her face suddenly turned pale, and her beautiful face also showed a look of grievance.
At this time, Shang Ruyi finally came to his senses - Yu Wenye's previous displeasure seemed to be because of Chang Wan. Could it be that he didn't want to take Chang Wan into his room?
Thinking about it again, she finally understood.
Maybe, he didn't want Princess Crescent to know, so that Her Highness the Princess, who was already suffering from lovers who couldn't finally get married, would probably suffer even more.
Thinking about it this way, I now understood why he was looking at me so gloomily just now.
However, Shang Ruyi also had his own plans in mind. Guan Yunmu was preparing to give this Changwan to him. In other words, this was Guan Yunmu's last wish as a mother. If they could not abide by it, they would probably make her heartbroken. It's hard to let go of worries; what's more, Chang Wan has never been moved into a house, but her identity is known to everyone in the family. If she is really ignored all the time, her future situation will only be more embarrassing.
This time, the theft of the Yue Kiln Cup came directly to her, which was evident.
Speaking of which, she is also a poor person.
So facing Chang Wan, Shang Ruyi became more and more friendly and said softly: "We are going to rest, you can go down first."
Chang Wan saluted, lowered his head and hurriedly retreated.
As soon as the door closed, Shang Ruyi sighed softly, planning to tell him more about his arrangements for Chang Wan, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Yu Wenye lifting up his clothes and sitting at the table, asking: "You, really Do you want to stay in Luoyang?"
There was no hint of joy or anger in what he said.
Shang Ruyi also walked over and sat across from him, saying softly: "Yes."
Yu Wenye frowned slightly and looked at her: "I'm going on an expedition and won't be back in a short time. Are you really okay if you stay alone in Luoyang?"...
Shang Ruyi said: "Isn't there a third brother?"
Yu Wenye snorted coldly: "What does he care about?"
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "He doesn't work, but as his second sister-in-law, I have to take care of him. I also know that he is not very sensible. These days he spends three days in school fishing and two days drying nets. Someone needs to keep an eye on him, if we all leave, then he will be a wild horse."
"..."
Yu Wenye didn't speak immediately, but glanced at her.
After a while, he said, "You do know how to take care of children."
Shang Ruyi was stunned. For some reason, these words seemed a bit...
Just when she was still unable to recover, Yu Wenye looked at him again and said, "So, you stayed here for him?"
"Oh no--"
Because she didn't come back to her senses, Shang Ruyi blurted out subconsciously and immediately shut her mouth - although she would definitely not change herself for a brother-in-law whom she had just been with for a few months, who was arrogant, arrogant and completely unlovable. However, it cannot be said that Yu Wencheng is not included in her considerations at all. After all, this is her brother-in-law and some kind of possible support for the Yuwen family in the future.
But it was not easy to say this directly. She hesitated for a while and then said softly: "It's not all for the third brother, but as the second sister-in-law, I really can't ignore him."
Yu Wenye looked at her with burning eyes: "Then, who are you doing for?"
Shang Ruyi pursed his lips.
In fact, it was her uncle and aunt who really decided that she should stay.
Now that the emperor has forgiven Shen Shiyan and the pardon order has been sent to Lingnan, it may not be long before the Shen family and his wife can return to Luoyang. But if they come back, it is hard to say whether they will be reinstated; and, he
Their next position in Luoyang, and even in the imperial court, is also crucial.
Shang Ruyi couldn't rest assured and just left them alone and went to Shanxi.
But she couldn't say this clearly.
Seeing that she seemed ashamed to speak, Yu Wenye's eyes flickered for a while, and then he suddenly said: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, just don't say it."
Shang Ruyi looked up at him.
Yu Wenye turned his head to avoid her gaze, and it seemed that he no longer had the evil aura he had when he first came back. Shang Ruyi felt even more strange and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, I heard from Lei Yu that today you should go to the Ministry of War to order troops and the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate food. Is it going well?"
Although Yu Wenye turned his head, he glanced at her again.
He coughed lightly and said, "It's pretty smooth."
"That's good."
Shang Ruyi nodded in relief, but he became more and more confused. Since everything went well, who had provoked him with the gloomy look on his face when he came back?
Could it be——
Just when she was having random thoughts, Yu Wenye suddenly coughed twice more, and then said, "I'm a little thirsty."
"...?"
Shang Ruyi frowned and looked at him.
Strange, calling yourself when you are thirsty? Isn’t there someone to serve you?
This person is too lazy.
But thinking that he was going to go on an expedition the day after tomorrow, I was afraid that it would be difficult to have the leisure time at home in the following days, so he walked to the door and gave Tusheer a few instructions. When he came back and sat down, I found that Yu Wenye's eyes were brighter than before, and the way he looked at her seemed to be a bit expectant.
look forward to?
As soon as these two words crossed his mind, Shang Ruyi himself felt funny.
I'm just thirsty and want tea, so why should I just look forward to it?
After a while, Tusheer pushed the door open and came in, bringing two cups of brewed tea. Because it had just been brewed, it was steaming and the fragrance overflowed through the cup lids. Suddenly the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea. overflow.
But as soon as the cup was placed in front of Yu Wenye, his expression suddenly darkened. .
