After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

He Lianzhu was half a head shorter than Ruan Jiu. At this time, he hugged Ruan Jiu and pressed the back of Ruan Jiu's head. Ruan Jiu buried his face on his shoulder.

He Lianzhu only felt that Ruan Jiu's warm tears had wet the cloth.A trickle of warmth flowed into his heart.

He settled down and looked back at Ulan and Getulu: "Go and see where it was crushed by the snow just now."

"Yes."

In fact, they all knew that the collapsed place didn't matter at all, He Lianzhu just didn't want them to stay here.

Two people lead down.

He Lianzhu followed Ruan Jiu's hair and patted him on the back: "Go in."

Ruan Jiu cried so hard that he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.He Lianzhu hugged his waist and slowly pushed him in.

"Go, left foot. Yes, then right foot."

He Lianzhu stepped over the threshold and closed the door with his backhand, shutting out the cold winter night.

A candle was newly lit in the room, the candle light was dim and warm, Ruan Jiu sat on the bed, Helian Zhu was afraid that he would be cold, so he shook off the blanket and put it on him.

Ruan Jiu was still sobbing.

If he hadn't been told from the beginning that the family would come, he wouldn't have expected it, and wouldn't have made any preparations.

But after he had prepared everything, he was told that there was nothing left, nothing left, how could he accept it?

Ruan Jiu's eyes were red, and two streams of tears were in his eyes, falling down patter.

After He Lianzhu wrapped him in a blanket, he hugged him with open arms, and rubbed his face and arms with his palms.

Neither of them spoke.

He Lianzhu didn't know what to say, just saying "I'm sorry" once is enough, if he continues, it will be annoying.

Pale's comfort seemed powerless, and he couldn't make a guarantee that the Ruan family would come over anytime.

Ruan Jiu sat on the bed, but He Lianzhu half knelt in front of Ruan Jiu and hugged him, so that He Lianzhu was a head taller than Ruan Jiu.

He couldn't do anything except hug Ruan Jiu.

Ruan Jiu cried because he forced Ruan Jiu to come and kiss him.

Ruan Jiu would complain about He Liancheng and Ashina, and wondered if he would blame him too, after all, the person who made peace with him was Helian Zhu in the end.

The room was so quiet that even the sound of snow falling outside was very clear. He Lianzhu could hear the sound of the snow crushing the branches, the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground, and even the sound of the wind blowing through the gaps in the snowflakes.

Ruan Jiu's sobbing voice was the clearest, and all the other voices became foils, only making Ruan Jiu's voice louder.

I don't know how long it took before Ruan Jiu stopped crying.

He pushed Helian Zhu away, reached out his hand from under the blanket, wiped his red eyes and nose, and only had time to say "I'm fine", then grabbed the blanket and hid in the innermost part of the bed.

He lay down with his back to Helian Zhu, ready to sleep.

He Lianzhu helped him cover the quilt, and didn't dare to look at Ruan Jiu again, but just folded his arms and sat next to Ruan Jiu, lost in thought.

When he got married at the beginning of the year, because he chose Ruan Jiu to marry his relatives, he thought that he would not be lonely anymore, so he felt very happy, fortunate, and delighted.Now, he doesn't feel that way anymore.

A few months ago, he also thought that it would be great if Ruan Jiu was from Jiwu.

Now he thinks, it would be nice if I were from Liang.

He Lianzhu patted Ruan Jiu, he only dared to pat the arched quilt.

I didn't want him to meet Ruan Jiu, and Ruan Jiu couldn't help shaking.

He is still crying.

I'm a bad guy and I made him cry.Helian Zhu thought, I am a bad person.

I don't know when Ruan Jiu fell asleep, maybe he fell asleep after crying tired, maybe he didn't sleep all night.

He Lianzhu folded his arms and sat beside him, but he really didn't sleep all night.

Ruan Jiu was young and raised pampered, so he didn't have much scheming.When the queen mother said she would send him away, he stayed because he was afraid that He Lianzhu would cry.

He thought simply, and never thought about how difficult it would be to go back after he chose to stay.

He Lianzhu didn't think much about it at the time, it was best for him if Ruan Jiu stayed.

But now, he is more and more afraid that Ruan Jiu will react one day, and he will resent him for not reminding himself at that time.

Liang Guo and Jiwu seem to be a natural moat between them forever, which cannot be crossed.

He Lianzhu thought about it all night.

He couldn't bear Ruan Jiu, and didn't want Ruan Jiu to hate him.

The quilt around him moved, Helianzhu came back to his senses, and turned his head to look.

Ruan Jiu sat up slowly with the quilt on his head, his hair was messy because he buried his head in the quilt, and his eyes were still red, but because he hadn't woken up yet, his eyes were dazed.

He looked around, and finally set his eyes on Helian Zhu.

He sniffed, trying to speak.The moment He Lianzhu met his eyes, he made up his mind.

Helian Zhu rushed forward and hugged him.

He couldn't bear Ruan Jiu.

Hate it or not, let's talk about it later.

Ruan Jiu opened his mouth and cried all night, his voice a little hoarse: "...I want to drink water."

"Okay." He Lianzhu took the opportunity to press his cheek against him.

Ulan, who had been waiting outside, heard voices in the room and knew they had woken up, so she hurried in with a water basin.

He glanced at Ruan Jiu, and seeing that Ruan Jiu was not too abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The queen should wash up first, breakfast is ready."

He put the basin on the stand, grabbed the towel and dipped it in the water, dipping both hands.

He paused for a moment before reacting.

He picked up the basin again: "The water is cold, I'll change it."

Voices came from the outside room, and Getulu asked, "Why are you out again?"

"Wait too long, the water is cold, you go change a basin."

After Ulan finished speaking, she went back to the inner room, took out the clothes from the suitcase, and put them in front of Ruan Jiu.

"Queen, let's wear new clothes today."

"It's not yet New Year's Eve."

"Put it on first. It's what you need to wear anyway. There are new ones for the New Year's Day."

Ulan was coaxing him because he was afraid that he would still be sad.

Ruan Jiu nodded with red eyes, grabbed his sleeves, and went in with his gloves.

Before the New Year's Eve, the winter was getting colder and colder. After breakfast, Ruan Jiu was wearing thick white fox fur clothes, leading the puppy and wolf for a walk in the snow.

Although Ruan Jiu was wearing fox fur, the hat on his head was made of rabbit fur, and he had two rabbit ears hanging down his cheeks, flicking it.

His eyes are still not good, He Lianzhu looked at him more like a rabbit.

A puppy and a little wolf were also wearing small clothes, and walked in the snow, leaving a string of plum blossom footprints.

There is also a "little wolf" wearing Mohu's clothes.

Snow wonders, rabbits walking wolves.

Two "super-sized concubines" followed Ruan Jiu, trying to arouse Ruan Jiu's interest through conversation.

"When spring comes, Haidongqing will come out. At that time, I will go to the Yazi River to catch two, and I will give it to the queen when it is boiled. The queen can ride a horse, lead a wolf, and carry a bird to go hunting."

"Hunting is fun, and there are many prey here in Xiyuan. In the past few years, the king has caught wolves every year. The wolf meat is not very tasty, and the wolf fur is a bit prickly. No one else likes to wear it, but only the king likes to wear it. "

Ruan Jiu didn't look back, but seemed to have listened to what they said, and raised his hand to move the "hair" on Nohelenchu's body.

It's a bit tricky.

He couldn't help but smiled slightly, then He Lianzhu held his hand, and the two continued to walk forward, like children, He Lianzhu took his hand and shook both of their hands, Throw it high.

Ruan Jiu didn't like this very much, so he patted him.He Lianzhu refused to let go, turned his head, showing his white canine teeth, his eyes were dark.

He pulled Ruan Jiu again, and walked two steps with his hands shaken. Ruan Jiu was a little unhappy and wanted to take back his hand, but He Lianzhu didn't hold it for a while, so he told him to run away.

He turned his head, grabbed Ruan Jiu's rabbit ears with both hands, stretched them long, and tied a knot under his chin.

After doing this bad deed, he ran away.

Ruan Jiu stomped his feet and called him "little pig", squatted down on the spot, made a ball of snowballs, squeezed them firmly, and threw them towards him.

It hit him accurately on the back, blasting a "snowflake".

Ruan Jiu couldn't help laughing, his eyes were bent, and then He Lianzhu stopped and bent down to make a snowball.

Ruan Jiu hurriedly hid behind Ulan and Getulu, squatted down, and prepared to make a big snowball: "Help me block it."

After He Lianzhu finished the snowball, he quickly stepped forward, slapped it all on Ruan Jiu's head.

Ruan Jiu immediately dropped the big snowball, jumped up, hugged He Lianzhu's waist, and pushed him to the ground.

"Quick, get it in his neck."

He said this to the two "concubines", but they still hesitated.

Ruan Jiu thought for a while, and in order to be fair, he finally said, "Ulan is with me, and Getulu is with him."

Getulu was unwilling: "Why not me and the queen? I want to follow the queen..."

But by this time the queen was too late for him.

He Lianzhu escaped from under his hands, and Ruan Jiu had already taken Ulan to chase him.

Geturu could only keep up.

This time it was He Lianzhu who threw Ruan Jiu to the ground. When He Lianzhu saw Getulu approaching, he said, "Hurry up and hit him."

Getulu picked up a little snowflake, put it on his fingertips, and bounced it to Ruan Jiu's face.

His movements were too gentle, He Lianzhu and Ruan Jiu couldn't help saying at the same time: "Be bold!"

"I'm afraid I'll break the queen." Getulu said, twisted a little more, and bounced it to Ruan Jiu's face, "That's how it is."

He Lianzhu and Ruan Jiu looked at each other, exchanged a look of helplessness at first, then tested each other, and finally reached a consensus.

"Tulu." Ruan Jiu called out.

Getulu responded, "Hey."

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Jiu flew out from under He Lianzhu and pressed his shoulder: "Little pig, hurry up!"

Geturu said anxiously: "My lord, we are in the same team."

"It was just replaced." Ruan Jiu smiled, his eyes sparkling, "Little Pig!"

"coming."

"Then I won't do it anymore. I'm thinking about the queen, and I'm afraid I'll break the queen. That's how the queen treats me." Getulu easily broke away from Ruan Jiu's shackles, grabbed his shoulders, and He lifted his whole body, put it on the snow, got up and ran.

Ulan sent the snowball to Ruan Jiu at the right time: "Queen, replenish the ammunition."

The palace is not big, backed by mountains, there are no clear walls in many places, a group of people are running around in a mess, and they will go to play wherever there is a lot of snow.

In the half-collapsed house, Liu Xuan and a young eunuch were picking things up in the ruins.

Liu Xuan himself didn't have any entourage. When he came to Jiwu, Liang Guo gave him two rough eunuchs. When he was in Shangjing, when he greeted the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother saw that there was no one around him. for him.

This little eunuch was careful, so Liu Xuan often took him with him and made him his personal eunuch.

The little eunuch said: "Last night was really dangerous. I fell asleep soundly, and was almost crushed to death by the roof. My son, I have lived in Guiwu for so many years, and I have never seen such a heavy snow this year. All crushed."

Liu Xuan removed a beam and threw the wood to the side. With a click, the wood broke into two pieces.

At this time Liu Xuan looked again, the heart of the wood had been eaten away by insects and ants.

"No wonder, it's all rotten like this." The little eunuch said, "The conditions in the palace are really difficult. I don't know if it's like this in the king's and queen's rooms."

"Probably not." Liu Xuan squatted down and picked out the useful things under the beam.

"By the way, Master Ulan said that the New Year's Eve is approaching these few days, and the craftsmen are not free. They will not come to repair the house until after the year. We have to live in the side hall for these few days."

Liu Xuan continued to pick up things: "Okay."

"Thanks to Lord Ulan who came here in time last night, otherwise we would have been frozen for a while."

At this time, Liu Xuan reached under the ruins piled with various broken rocks and broken wood, and touched a book, but he couldn't get it out while wearing gloves, so he took out his hand, took off the gloves, and reached in to get it.

Suddenly there was a loud "meow" not far away.

Ruan Jiu ran fast, running in front of He Lianzhu and the two concubines, before bending over to hide in the snow, no one could see him.

When He Lianzhu stepped forward unsuspectingly, he yelled and jumped out of the snow, and the two snowballs in his hand hit Helian Zhu's head just like that.

He Lianzhu shook his head like a little wolf shaking off the water droplets on his body, shaking off the snowflakes on his head.

It was too late to make another snowball, so he hugged Ruan Jiu's waist directly, threw him down, rolled with him twice in the snow, and rolled into two big snowballs, like rolling around in crushed peanuts There are two Lantern Festivals, white and black, and the black one is sesame-flavored.

Liu Xuan on the other side of the ruins was taken aback by the two of them, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but the back of his hand was scratched by a sharp wooden thorn.

At this time, Ulan and Getulu also caught up, and each of them pulled one to separate the king and queen who were clearly mad.

The two "Yuanxiao" stood up again, and patted the broken snow off their bodies.

Ulan patted Ruan Jiu on the body: "I'll take a hot bath when I get back later, and drink some ginger soup. If you play like this, don't catch a cold again."

"Yeah." Ruan Jiu nodded, and then retorted, "I'm not that fragile. I used to be in Yong'an City, and I played much better than this. The last time it was because the climate was unacceptable..."

The clean Helian Zhu stepped forward: "Obviously you are washing in the room..."

Ruan Jiu quickly covered his mouth, and motioned him with his eyes, saying that he could not tell others.

He Lianzhu pushed his hand away, remember, remember.

Ruan Jiu pinched his face, turned his head and saw Liu Xuan at the ruins, said "what's the matter over there", and wanted to go and have a look.

Ulan stopped him: "It snowed heavily last night, and half of the house over there was crushed. I went over there to look at it at night, and it was temporarily resettled. It's not a big deal. It's still a little dangerous over there, and it may collapse again at any time , the queen should not go there."

Ruan Jiu said: "Then why is Liu Xuan still there? Hurry up and call him over."

As he spoke, he waved to Liu Xuan, telling him to come over quickly.

Liu Xuan didn't understand what he meant, but just raised his uninjured hand.The little eunuch was helping him wrap his injured hand with a clean veil.

Liu Xuan also waved slightly to Ruan Jiu.He is not quite used to Ruan Jiu's enthusiastic and flamboyant way of getting along.

He couldn't understand, Ruan Jiu only said: "Let me go and call him."

Of course the others refused to let him go, so He Lianzhu grabbed him and looked at Getulu: "Geturu, go and call someone over."

"Yes."

Ruan Jiu said: "Tulu, then be careful."

Getulu responded, and went to see Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan was too lofty, so he didn't go out often when he came here, and Getulu hadn't seen him a few times.

"Mr. Liu, the queen said that this place is dangerous, so let Mr. Liu go quickly."

"Okay." Liu Xuan got up, clapped his hands, and was about to take the little eunuch over.

Geturu said again: "Last night, the queen knew that her family would not be able to come. She was sad all night and just coaxed her. Be careful what you say to the queen, and don't make him unhappy."

Liu Xuan paused, lowered his eyes: "I see."

He took the little eunuch and walked up to Ruan Jiu holding the things he found from the ruins just now.

"Little boy."

"It's so dangerous over there, don't go there again."

Ruan Jiu flipped through the things he held in his arms, but they were just some scrolls and other miscellaneous things, which didn't seem to be of any importance.He looked at Liu Xuan: "Just tell me what you want, I'll get it for you, don't go there again, wait until they clear out the things, then give it to you, it's the same."

Liu Xuan lowered his eyes: "Okay."

Ruan Jiu asked again: "Do you still have a place to live? Do you want to move to my side? There should be vacant rooms in the side hall."

Liu Xuan shook his head: "No need, there are still vacant houses in the palace, I already settled them last night, the weather is too cold, so I won't move."

"That's fine too."

He Lianzhu suddenly brought up Ruan Jiu's cloak: "Ruanjiu, when did your back get so wet?"

Ruan Jiu turned his head to look, He Lianzhu pinched his cloak, twisted it, and dripped water dripping down.

He Lianzhu stared: "Did you step into a puddle just now?"

Ruan Jiu tugged at the rabbit's ears: "...I don't remember."

He Lianzhu wanted to hold his hand: "Go back and change clothes."

"Okay." Ruan Jiu said to Liu Xuan, "Then I'll go back first, and come find me if you have anything to do."

Liu Xuan responded, "Okay."

Then Ruan Jiu was dragged away by Helian Zhu.

As He Lianzhu walked away, he asked him where he got wet, but Ruan Jiu didn't remember at all.

"How on earth did you wet the middle piece and both sides were fine?"

Ruan Jiu was a little unhappy to be laughed at by him, so he glared at him: "I don't know after I told you, it must have been done when you pushed me onto the snow."

"Certainly not." Helian Zhu said eloquently, "Every time you fall to the ground, I'm the one who supports you, and you always fall on top of me."

"You fart!"

The two of them were still arguing like children, and they walked away like this.

The little eunuch next to Liu Xuan tugged at his sleeve and said softly: "My lord, let's go back too."

Only then did Liu Xuan come back to his senses, and replied: "Okay."

The two turned their heads and left in opposite directions.

Liu Xuan suddenly muttered in a low voice: "There are people in this world who are born with a good life. Not only do they have a good reincarnation, but they are also loved by their family members. Sometimes, the people who love him feel that the sky is falling, and they will go out of their way to make him happy."

The little eunuch didn't seem to hear it, and replied in a blunt manner: "Master, will you write a letter of greetings to the empress dowager when you go back? The empress dowager seems to be quite concerned about Xiyuan. Last time, the son wrote a letter saying that the queen was ill, and it took a few days. , Shang Jing sent something over.”

Liu Xuan didn't answer, but the little eunuch said again: "If you want me to say, about the collapse of the son's house, the empress dowager should also know about it. Maybe the empress also gave the son something?"

Liu Xuan suppressed the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "I don't need it."

This is the first time that Ruan Jiu is not at home or celebrating the New Year with his family.

During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot.He was sad for a while, and then found that it seemed to be a good time to celebrate the New Year in Guiwu.

He has not been wasted this year, and he has made many new friends.

The Queen Mother asked the envoys to come over again and gave him New Year's gifts, such as firecrackers wrapped in several layers of oiled paper to prevent "moisture", several boxes of new clothes; Gave him a present.And He Lianzhu's martial arts teacher, the old general Pale, also asked someone to bring something over——

A small picture book.

The old general thought about it, hesitated for several months, and finally decided to tell He Lianzhu the secret of having a child through the picture book.

But before He Lianzhu opened it, the album was confiscated by Ruan Jiu.

The album was locked in a box containing many of the same kind.

Ruan Jiu patted He Lianzhu's shoulder encouragingly: "It's been a year, and you can open the box in four years."

He Lianzhu looked at the box reluctantly, and finally said: "Okay."

Ruan Jiu took his hand: "Come on, let's go out and set off firecrackers to play. This is what you, a child, should play."

He Lianzhu looked away and followed him out.

There is a small kitchen in their dormitory, where they usually cook their meals, and for the New Year's Eve dinner, Ulan and a few entourages are busy here.

Ruan Jiu and He Lianzhu were setting off firecrackers outside, and the people in the kitchen heard a "bang" from time to time. They poked their heads out several times to speak, but finally retracted their heads silently.

They dare not.

In the end, Ulan poked her head out and said, "Queen, don't be scary. The cook's hands are shaking, and he has already put a lot of salt."

It was about food, Ruan Jiu hurriedly put his hands behind his back, indicating that he would stop dangerous actions immediately.

He took Helian Zhu to a further place to build a snowman for fun, and after he had finished making a body, Ulan called for dinner.

After the king took his seat, the queen took the seat with three "concubines".

He Lianzhu raised the wine cup symbolically, and everyone also raised their wine glasses, saying "Happy New Year" to each other in fierce words, then they all raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.

Ruan Jiu picked up the wine jug, smelled it, and He Lianzhu put the bottle of grape juice in front of him: "This is it."

Ruan Jiu took the bottle and filled himself a glass.

He raised the wine cup and said with a smile: "I have known you all for almost a year, thank you for taking care of me, although many things have happened, I have always been very happy."

He smirked and said, "Respect to my concubines!"

His "loved concubines" laughed, patted the table and raised the wine bottle at the same time.

Ulan said: "Respect the little sun on Mount Chilun!"

Geturu no longer said "I am the same", but immediately said: "Little moon on Lake Gal!"

Liu Xuan smiled, and only called out: "Queen."

Ruan Jiu drank the grape juice in the glass, turned to look at He Lianzhu, who was waiting for him holding the wine bottle.

Ruan Jiu took the bottle and filled it up again: "Thank you, the king who gave me so many concubines!"

The king moved in, and suddenly he didn't really want to drink this wine.

Ruan Jiu patted his cheek with a smile, and changed his words: "I respect my favorite king."

He Lianzhu tried his best to restrain the corners of his lips that could not help but maintain a serious expression, clinked glasses with him lightly, and replied in a low voice: "My favorite queen."

Perhaps the "favorite" that Ruan Jiu said was just aroused, and every "favorite" he said was sincere.
