Cai Lan: "Miss, you said that Mr. Huan's family is well-off and he is handsome, why hasn't he married yet?"

"Didn't meet the right person..." Ruan Ling frowned suddenly, "What does this have to do with marrying or not?"

Cailan shut up.

Ruan Ling waved at Cailan: "Go down, I'll go see my brother."

Huan Chu lay on the bed tossing and turning for a while. Although he didn't believe what the fortune-teller said, he still cared a little bit in his heart, "Oh! The man of destiny is coming soon? I have long been prepared to die alone!"

Angrily, a carp sat upright, just in time to be seen by Dagui who opened the door and came in with a bouquet of wild flowers, "Master, this is..."

Huan Chu jumped out of the bed, speaking very fast: "It's just in time, come with me." Without giving anyone a chance to react, he dragged Dagui and walked out the door.

After leaving the gate of the mansion, "Where does the young master want to take me?" Dagui was full of doubts.

Huanchu: "The hexagram stand."

Dagui: "Master, do you believe this?"

"It's because I don't believe that I'm going!" Huan Chu wanted to talk to the old fortune-teller: You don't know how to tell fortunes at all!Change careers!It doesn't matter if you sell buns, I don't mind, don't disturb other people's marriages!

Huan Chu, who was full of anger, dragged Dagui away quickly, but at this moment, he caught sight of a person out of the corner of his eye, and Huan Chu suddenly stopped and turned his head to look back.

The incident happened suddenly, but before Dagui had time to slow down, Huanchu leaned forward slightly when he bumped into it.

Huan Chu let go of Dagui's sleeve, took a few steps back, and took a closer look at the person who came into view—this person was tall and slender, with a fair, beautiful and handsome face, and he exuded an air of "don't get close to strangers" all over his body. Standing in the crowd, dressed in white and holding a scroll in his hand, he did not look like a mortal.

Seeing that Huan Chu was looking elsewhere, Dagui also looked over, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look, he was surprised and happy when he saw it, "Master...Master!"

Huan Chu murmured: "Young master?" Looking at the person next to this man again, isn't it Ruan Ling?

Dagui pulled Huanchu, who had straight eyes, and strode up to the siblings, "Miss, young master, why are you here?"

It was expected by several people that the young master was speechless, Ruan Ling said: "I saw that divination is interesting, so I forced my brother to count it." Ruan Ling looked left and right, "That's right, people Why is it gone..."

Huan Chu's face at this moment has long since lost the anger just now, but a thin layer of blush has risen instead.

Ruan Ling asked again: "Why are you here?"

Dagui spoke quickly, "Mr. Huan is here... um..." Huanchu covered Dagui's mouth with all his strength, and then quickly withdrew his hand when he realized that he was impolite.

Huan Chu looked at Ruan Ling: "It's nothing, just... come out for a walk."

Dagui bent down and took a few breaths, put his hands on his knees and nodded vigorously.

Ruan Ling smiled at Huan Chu, "If that's the case, let's go. If I hadn't been stubborn and acted coquettishly, my brother wouldn't have come out! Oh, by the way, this is my brother——Ruan Yu."

"Ruan, Yu," Huan Chu repeated word by word silently in his heart.

Ruan Ling held Ruan Yu's arm and stood side by side with Huan Chu, while Dagui followed behind the three of them.

The four of them walked for a while, and the three of them chatted without saying a word. Ruan Yu was speechless and expressionless the whole time.

"Yo, that young man in black! It's really you!" The voice of a slutty woman reached Huan Chu and his party. As soon as Huan Chu raised his head, the words "male and female hall" were in front of his eyes, and that woman was the old bustard. .

Huanchu: "?"

Because of Huanchu's extraordinary appearance, the old bustard had a deep memory of him, and said: "Young master doesn't remember me in just a few days, I'm so sad."

Except for Ruan Yu, Dagui and Ruan Ling looked at Huanchu together, and said in unison: "This is..."

Huan Chu hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I just..."

Before Huan Chu could finish speaking, the bustard had already sent someone to bring over the box that Huan Chu forgot to take away a few days ago, and said, "My lord, your things have been left behind."

In the Ruan Mansion, Master Ruan sent someone to arrange everything that Huanchu needed - except meals.So Huan Chu had forgotten all about the big box he had brought from home.Now that I think about it, it may be too late, so I can only bite the bullet and take my own box from the old bustard, and say thank you.

Ruan Ling felt a little helpless, thinking: "I never thought Huan Chu was such a person." She pulled Ruan Yu's arm, "Brother, let's go!"

Dagui shook his head and followed closely behind the siblings.

Our Young Master Ruan, who cherishes words like gold, finally opened his mouth, and cast a glance at Huan Chu: "Dirty."

Huan Chuyi was in a hurry, and ran to the front to block the way of the three of them, and explained carefully the ins and outs of his mentality to go to the "male and female hall".

Huan Chu's anxious face was burning hot: "If you don't believe me, you can go face to face with me and the people there. If I tell half a lie, I will die suddenly on the spot!"

Ruan Ling laughed "poof", "You are in a hurry, you don't have to say such vicious words, sir. When will I say I don't believe it?"

Dagui said: "Sir, it's true..."

"I'm a virgin! It's absolutely true!" The veins on Huan Chu's neck burst.

Ruan Yu couldn't hold back and coughed a few times.

Dagui was stunned, "I...I didn't ask you this..."

Ruan Ling laughed loudly, "Okay, aren't you hungry?" As if forgetting what happened just now, she said eagerly, "I'm going to make my specialty stew, so go home quickly."

Since the last time the two of them sneaked into the kitchen in the middle of the night, Huan Chu often finished eating with everyone—of course, everyone except Ruan Yu, who would go to the kitchen with Dagui to steal vegetables and leaves in the dead of night.

Huanchu and Dagui looked at each other, this time...

A few people walked back to Ruan's mansion like this, Huan Chu peeked at Ruan Yu from time to time, his face blushed again and again unconsciously.

In the middle of the night, Huan Chu, who came back from stealing vegetable leaves, stuck to the wall like a gecko, wishing to stick his ears into the wall: "Why is there no sound at all?" Too loud to hear each other.After moving up and down, left and right for a long while, Huan Chu still didn't hear any sound, finally pouted reluctantly and separated from the wall, stripped naked and got into bed.

The weather is getting cooler, and the sterling silver reflective birdcage is hung on the bare old tree in the high-walled courtyard, which looks like a brand new one. The guy living in it screams endlessly, with a sharp and piercing voice.

"Dinner is ready." Fu Bao squatted in front of the young master's room door, a few earthworms wriggling non-stop in the palm of his hand, but in the next second it became the belly meal of two hens.Fu Bao looked at Dahong and Erhong, and asked in confusion, "Why do you think the young master went to the cinema?" One of the hens stretched out half of its wings and shook them quickly, stretching its paws backwards. The other hen pooped on the spot.

"Pull it after eating!" Seeing the two hens ignoring him and looking for work for him, Fu Bao was a little angry... He picked up a broom and shovel to clean up the excrement of the uncle chicken.

Huanchu likes to eat eggs, but the two hens are hardworking and lay an egg every day. Fubao has already saved eggs for half a month, but the young master has not returned yet.

"I don't know when the young master will come back, how about..." Fu Bao went to the kitchen and found a jar, washed the eggs and put them in, boiled water again, let it cool down, poured it into the jar, added a lot of salt, covered it and sealed it Okay, "In one month, if the young master returns, he will be able to eat salted eggs!" Fu Bao was full of confidence.

Ever since he came back from fortune-telling that day, Huan Chu always sat in front of the door for a long time, and he always looked at the next door from time to time. No exception.Dagui was puzzled in his heart: "Why does Mr. Huan like to sit in front of the door and blow the wind recently? He is not afraid of getting cold."

At noon, Huan Chu was sitting in front of the door basking in the sun, and saw a maid in the distance walking towards here with small steps, holding a food box. "It's already this hour?" Huan Chu saw that the people who come to deliver meals every day are not fixed-sometimes maids, sometimes servants, and the old housekeeper also came, "Who will come tomorrow?" Huan Chu was thinking , the maid had already walked up to him and bowed to him, and knocked on the door next door without saying a word, "Dang, Dang" twice, but there was still no response from inside, the maid pushed the door as usual and walked in. After a while, the girl Huan came out and left with the same small steps.

"I've been sitting all morning, son, go back to the room, be careful not to catch a cold." Dagui took a coat and put it on Huanchu.

"Alright." Huan Chu looked away, stood up slowly, turned and entered the room.

"Ling'er, what do you think of Mr. Huan?" Madam Ruan asked softly, wiping the jade bracelet in her hand with a handkerchief.

After being silent for a while, Ruan Ling said very seriously: "It's impossible for Mr. Huan and I, mother wants to see me marry someone I don't admire, and be depressed for a lifetime?"

Mrs. Ruan's hand froze suddenly, and sighed: "That's all." After speaking, she picked up a pen and paper to deliberate and wrote a piece of paper, and told the maid: "Give this to Mr. Huan."

Clothes were scattered all over the floor. After searching for a while, Huan Chu found a pipe of purple bamboo flute in the box.Huan Chu took the object and strode out of the room, just as he went out, he saw a maid approaching and handing over a letter: "Madam told me to give it to the young master."

Huanchu couldn't hide his smile after reading it. The general content of the letter is: Entrusted by Master Huan, you are looking for a suitable candidate for marriage. , Lived up to Master Huan's expectations, Yun Yun explained the ins and outs of the ring one by one, and expressed his apology.

Huan Chu thought: "It's just my father's little effort many years ago, this Ruan family actually wants to marry their daughter to me, really..."

However, Huanchu still laughed in his heart, and planned to save this letter and take it back to show to his parents. He even thought about his words: Look, it’s not that I don’t want to marry, it’s that the girl doesn’t want to marry. Well, no girl is willing to marry me.Huanchu felt that the expression on his face must be firm when he said this sentence, so that his parents would die.

Huan Chu couldn't help but picked up the flute in his hand and bowed his head to play it. The joyful sound of the flute floated into the ears of the man next door. He seemed to be stunned by the sound of the flute. He put down the book in his hand and listened attentively. For a moment, he lowered his head and smiled as if appreciating it very much.

Huan Chu came into the room by accident, picked up a pen and ink, wrote a few words in a correct manner, and then stood in front of the door hesitating.

Ruan Yu heard footsteps wandering in front of the door. After a while, he saw a letter being sent in through the crack of the door. He opened it and said, "Your Excellency, do you like it?"

Knowing that this young master who doesn't like to be in contact with people will not care about him, not to mention that the only side he saw left an indecent impression on others, but he still wrote these words, just in case...if he is lucky!Huan Chu crouched nervously in front of Ruan Yu's door with his head in his arms, as if waiting for something...

After a while, as expected, the eldest young master ignored him, Huan Chu smiled wryly: "Where is the luck..."

At night, Huan Chu sat in front of the door to blow the wind, stroking the purple bamboo flute in his hand, and slowly brought it to his mouth to play. The sound of the flute is full of loss and desolation, which makes people feel miserable, as if the most pitiful person is nothing but himself.

In the early morning of the second day, Huan Chu finished packing up his belongings, took a deep look at the next door, and said goodbye to Master Ruan and Mrs. Ruan: "I've been bothering you for a long time, this junior should go back."

The twisted melon is not sweet, and the two of them didn't hold back too much, Master Ruan: "Be careful on the road, and I will visit Master Huan in person someday."

"Farewell." A trace of loneliness flashed across Huan Chu's face.

Three days later.

In late autumn, two men, one tall and one short, walked side by side on the spacious streets of Yuecheng. The short servant shook his head and said helplessly, "My lord, if the master finds out that you went to a brothel, he will chase you with a cane and beat you again." .”

"Hit it, it doesn't matter if you hit one more time or less." The unruly tall man waved a paper fan with an indifferent face.

"Also, the master forbids you to associate with that lunatic..."

"Shut up!" Wen Ji knocked the fan on Axi's head, and said seriously: "You don't understand him...don't talk nonsense."

Axi rubbed his head, thinking: "It's strange if I understand! What can a lunatic understand?"

"Huan Chu is not... Forget it! Why am I telling you this?" Wen Ji said again: "You don't mind my business."

"The master also told you to go to the shop and learn to manage the business. If he is mad at you one day, you will have something to eat, so you won't live on the street." Repeat what Master Wen said.

"Get out!" Wen Ji pointed at Axi and jumped three feet high, and Axi rolled away in despair.

Wen Jiqi's seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he walked quickly on the street, the paper fan in his hand shaking fast.

At this time, Huan Chu had returned to Huan Mansion from the film city, showed his parents the letter Mrs. Ruan had given him, and said indifferently, "I won't bother you about my son's marriage." After speaking, he turned and went back to his room. The body was buckled upright on the bed, planning to sleep for three days and three nights.

"Is my lovely brother back?"
