Ruan Yu put down the book in his hand, "Remember."

Ruan Ling: "He lives next door to you, and he only came to the house today."

Ruan Yu: "Is there something you want to come to the house?"

Ruan Ling said carelessly: "Come and play! His parents asked him to stay in the mansion for a while longer, and his mother told me to take him around the city, but she didn't say anything."

Ruan Yu didn't speak, picked up the book and continued to read.

Ruan Ling saw that his brother was planning to see off the guests, so he left with his head drooping.

Huan Chu woke up from sleep, opened his big eyes and stared straight at the roof in a daze. After about a cup of tea, he slowly sat up and put the quilt over his body with only his head exposed. He looked up, down, left, and right as if he didn't know. Where are you now?

"Mr. Huan." Dagui's knock on the door pulled Huanchu's mind halfway back, and he replied half asleep, "Come in."

Dagui walked in with a suit of clothes in his hands, and said: "The master saw that the young master was dressed in black, so he ordered the little one to buy you a black suit and come back. I'm afraid you don't have the exact same one, but there are still seven points similar." Huan Chu seemed Still in a state of confusion, there was no response.Dagui thought that Huanchu didn't like the clothes, so he hurriedly said: "Tomorrow I will take your son's clothes and order an identical one. You can put them on first, and dinner will be served soon. I will wait for you outside the door."

As soon as the words "dinner is about to be served" came out, Huan Chu's stomach was very suitable for the occasion - "gurgling", and the other half of the mind also returned to its place.

Huan Chu looked at the clothes he threw on the ground, "It's time to change!" After finishing speaking, he quickly put on the clothes Dagui gave him, combed his hair, opened the door and went out.

The master and servant came to the dining room like a labyrinth, and saw that Ruan Ling was already sitting there waiting. Before Huan Chu could speak, Ruan Ling got up and said first, "This elder brother must be Mr. Huan."

Huan Chu smiled: "Exactly."

Ruan Ling looked him up and down, stared at Huan Chu's face with big watery eyes, and said, "Brother was born so beautiful, can you marry a wife?"

Huan Chu opened his mouth before he could close it, "Ling'er, don't be unreasonable." Master Ruan's voice came from outside the door.

Afterwards, the couple walked in, Madam Ruan said softly: "This girl has always been outspoken, so please don't take offense."

Huan Chu laughed dryly: "Why, Miss Ruan is so smart and cute, it's too late to be liked by others."

Huan Chu originally said some polite words, but Mrs. Ruan laughed from ear to ear. One said he was beautiful, and the other said she was likable. Mrs. Ruan felt that the two were having fun, and her smile became happier.

During the dinner, Master Ruan asked about the recent situation of Huan Chu's parents.

"How is your father's Lingtang?"

"Don't forget Uncle Lao, everything is fine."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, while Mrs. Ruan tried to get Ruan Ling and Huan Chu to say a few more words to get closer, she winked at Ruan Ling and pulled her sleeves under the table while coughing.Ruan Ling felt that this elder brother was good-looking, but only good-looking. She had no other thoughts, so she pretended not to understand her mother's hints, and ate alone, "The vegetables are salty, and the heat is not enough."

After dinner, Dagui took Huanchu on the way back to his room. Huanchu suddenly remembered what Dagui had said to him before, and asked, "Why didn't you see the young master of the Ruan Mansion come out to eat, but he was not feeling well?"

Dagui: "Master, I don't know. The young master only had a meal with his family on the day he came back from the small courtyard in the mountain. We sent the rest of the meal to his room. I think... that meal is probably because of too much water. Haven't seen my family for a long time."

Huanchu looked at Dagui suspiciously: "Why..."

"The young master likes to be clean, he doesn't like crowded places, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to be talked to by others. He always stays alone and doesn't like to be disturbed by others, but...but he treats Miss differently, no matter how Miss talks to him You won't get angry if you nudge him, at most you just don't talk." Dagui explained with relish, not feeling tired at all.

Huanchu went through what Dagui said before and after, "Don't you feel bored when you're alone?"

Dagui seemed to be stumped by this question, scratching his head: "This... the villain doesn't know either."

The two walked to the door, and Dagui went in first to make Huanchu's bed, picked up the clothes he threw on the ground, and planned to wash them.When he came out, he saw that Huan Chu was looking at the next door, so he reminded in a low voice: "Young master seldom comes out and walks. You should be asleep at this hour. You don't need to look at it."

Huan Chu was lying on the bed, thinking in his heart: "I don't see anyone all day, could it be that the young master of the Ruan Mansion has some hidden disease?... Or... a sick child?!" Huan Chu was stunned as if thinking of something important. Two seconds...turn over.

The man lying on the bed in the next room sneezed and turned over simultaneously.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Huanchu's stomach growled again—if you say that Master Ruan really entertained him, he cooked a large table full of chicken, fish, and all kinds of meat dishes, and the vegetarian dish was just a plate of peanuts, or deep-fried. of.

Master Ruan was only focused on chatting with Huan Chu; Mrs. Ruan was focused on winking and making small movements at Ruan Ling. Neither of the husband and wife paid attention to what and how much Huan Chu ate.

Huan Chu, who only had two chopsticks of peanuts, got up and walked out of the room, "Master," Dagui greeted Huan Chu when he came out from the door.

At this time, it was the dead of night, and Dagui suddenly uttered a startled Huanchu: "Why don't you go back to sleep?"

Dagui explained: "Young master is not familiar with the way when he first arrived at the mansion, the master was afraid that you might need something, so he specially asked me to stay here."

"What's the matter, son?" Dagui asked.

"That... to be honest, I... I'm hungry." Huan Chu said shyly while holding his stomach.

Huan Chu: "I...don't eat meat!"

The nobleman is very clever, without Huan Chu saying much, he can guess very well, "My lord, please come with me."

The two tiptoed towards the kitchen one after the other...

In the early morning of the second day, Huan Chu took a lot of effort to separate his body stuck to the bed from the bed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ruan Ling sitting in front of the door leading a maid.

Hearing the doorbell, Ruan Ling turned her head: "Mother asked me to show you around the city," stood up and patted the dust on her skirt, "Let's go."

Huan Chu thought about going out to have a look, "I'm sorry."

After leaving the gate of Ruan Mansion, the two walked in front side by side, followed by the maid Cailan.After walking for a while, Ruan Ling suddenly asked tentatively, "Is this your first visit to the studio, sir?"

Huan Chu didn't even think about it: "Yes."

Ruan Ling: "This is not just for fun, is it?"

Huan Chu hesitated for a moment, and said, "To tell you the truth, I came here to give the ring at the order of my mother."

The maid Cailan was very knowledgeable, seeing that the two of them had something to say, she hid away from them.

"Ring?" Ruan Ling looked at Huan Chu in confusion.

"It's the ring of the Ruan Mansion, it's just returned to the original owner." Huan Chu only knew this.

Ruan Ling had half-belief written on her face. After all, she was a young girl who had just grown up, and she was the daughter of a rich family. Due to the protection of her family, her mind was pure and she was not yet able to hide her anger. "It's just a ring, as for the son Invite people to send it back in person?" Because the mother's behavior at the dinner table made Ruan Ling feel that Huanchu must have something to do when he came to the Ruan Mansion, for example——Is he here to discuss marriage with her?

After all, I was telling the truth, seeing Ruan Ling's reaction, Huan Chu was also stunned, "The ring has been handed over to Master Ruan, if you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself."

Ruan Ling saw that Huan Chu's appearance didn't seem like a lie, and she was also a straightforward person, so she told the truth about what she felt, "Mother intends to match you and me, can you know?"

Ruan Ling's every word was like a thunderbolt hitting Huan Chu.

That's it!

Although Huan Chu didn't know what the ring meant to the Huan-Ruan family, there was one thing he really understood--the mother was using the name of giving the ring to make a blind date for him in a different way!What else did you say "don't ask too much", can you say this kind of thing?

Looking at the girl in front of him, she is tall and slender, with a sweet and lovely appearance, but she is only cute, and she has no affection for her.

Huan Chu: "That..." Just as he was thinking about how to express his thoughts without embarrassing both parties, Ruan Ling suddenly covered his ears and said embarrassingly: "Don't worry about it, son, I don't mean that to you, it's just my parents. Just wishful thinking!"

Hearing Ruan Ling's words, Huan Chu let out a breath and said, "I share the same destiny with the girl."

Ruan Ling and Huan Chu looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words, the stones in their hearts both fell to the ground.

Walking out of the path and coming to the bustling street, Cai Lan hastily followed.Ruan Ling looked at Huan Chu amidst the yelling of the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop and the lady selling vegetables, "Since we have made it clear, you and I don't have to be restrained. What do you want to play? I'll lead the way."

Huan Chu: "I can't think of what to play for a while, so just walk around."

The three of them walked leisurely in front of each other.

"For fortune-telling, no money is not allowed." A middle-aged man with his eyes closed was sitting in front of the divination booth and shouted to passers-by.

Ruan Ling tapped Huan Chu's arm with her finger, "Forget it?"

Huan Chu looked at Xin Xin and nodded to Ruan Ling.

A few people walked to the fortune-telling booth, Ruan Ling waved his hand in front of the middle-aged man, seeing no response, said: "Sir, can you help this young man do the calculation?"

The middle-aged man's eyeballs moved, and he said slowly, "I don't know what you want, my lord?"

Huan Chu: "Forget it..."

"Marriage." Before Huan Chu could finish speaking, Ruan Ling quickly answered.

The middle-aged man took out a tortoise shell from his left sleeve and three copper coins from his right sleeve, put the copper coins into the tortoise shell and handed it to Huan Chu, "Young master, please shake it."

As soon as Huan Chu shook it, he heard a "click", and the turtle shell shattered!

The middle-aged man with his eyes closed didn't know how he saw it. He hugged Huan Chu's leg and yelled: "You broke my eating guy, you have to pay me..." The man closed his eyes and rolled his eyes. , "Twelve taels!"

Huan Chu was stunned into a log on the spot, slowly put down the broken tortoise shell, took out an ingot of silver and put it on the table expressionlessly, "Can you let go?"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and saw that Yinzi's eyes suddenly lit up. He let go of Huanchu's leg, quickly picked up Yinzi, breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped it.

Some passers-by recognized him, "Isn't this a liar pretending to be blind!"

A few women holding melon seeds said while nibbling: "Yes." "Isn't it!"

Huan Chu didn't want to argue with him, patted his hem, and said to Ruan Ling, "... let's go."

The three walked for about a quarter of an hour.

"Fortune-telling and fortune-telling, money is not allowed, sir, do you want a divination?" Sitting next to a dilapidated stall on the side of the road was a shriveled old man with a mustache. This man was not blind!On the contrary, the eyes are clear and shining, but there are some wrinkles at the end of the eyes.

Huan Chu: "..."

Huan Chu pointed to his own face: "Are you asking me?"

"That's right! I think you need to come to me for a divination urgently, my lord." The old man beckoned Huan Chu to sit down.

"It's another trick to deceive people!" Huan Chu thought to himself.

"Do not……"

Before the word "must" was uttered, Huan Chu was pulled by Ruan Ling to the chair that was about to fall apart. He got up on the chair and made a "creaking" sound.

Ruan Ling looked at the fortune-teller old man: "Please, sir, give this young master a divination," and then said: "Marriage, show him the marriage." Ruan Ling looked forward to it curiously.

The old man took out a slightly cracked tortoise shell with three copper coins inside, "Please shake it three times, sir."

Huan Chu thought to himself: "Shake three times this time?" Although he didn't care much about his marriage, he wanted to see how the fortune teller would play this trick, so he reached out to take it and it was about to break. The cracked tortoise shell was carefully shaken three times.

"Okay." Huan Chu put the tortoise shell on the table.

The old man poured the three copper coins from the tortoise shell on the table, "Congratulations, son, great joy!"

Who wouldn't say good things?Do you want to say a few auspicious words to ask for a reward?

Huan Chu pretended to be serious: "Where does joy come from?"

The old man stretched out his finger and wiped his beard, "From the hexagram, the man who is destined for you is coming soon."

Huan Chu didn't say anything, just listened quietly, thinking: "It's all a lie anyway."

Ruan Ling was very active: "How does it look?"

The old man looked at the copper coin, and his face showed joy, "Peerless beauty! In terms of appearance, there is no second one in the world!"

Ruan Ling was thoughtful, "Oh?"

The old man went on to say: "This person is very close to the young master. It can be said that... he is beside the young master."

Beside... Huan Chu looked at Cai Lan - big shoulders and round pancake face, then shook his head again and again; looked at Ruan Ling, thinking that beauty is beauty, but he has absolutely no wrong thoughts about this little sister.

"No." Huan Chu stood up and left, "It really is a liar."

Cailan threw down a few pieces of silver and chased after Huanchu together with the young lady.

Ruan Ling smiled at Huanchu and said, "It's just for fun, don't take it seriously."

Huan Chu seemed unwilling, turned around and walked back, walked back to the fortune-telling stall, and said angrily: "Let me ask you, which girl is my destined person? Who is the name? If you say I'll believe you if you leave me!"

The fortune-telling old man frowned, "Girl? Which girl? Uh...that...isn't..."

Huan Chu snatched the words: "You can't say anything!" He turned and walked towards Ruan Ling, "Go back, I'm tired."

Ruan Ling tilted her head: "?"

The three returned to Ruan Mansion just like that.

I don't know whether he was angry or opened up the second channel of Ren and Du, but Huan Chu found the way back to the room without anyone leading the way.

Ruan Ling looked at the back of Huan Chu walking towards his own room, and murmured: "It's amazing."

Cai Lan behind her nodded her head until the flesh on her face trembled.
