The Laughing Usa of the Red Chamber

The frontier is pacified and the court is gradually stabilized. Although there are some undercurrents, it has nothing to do with Du Ruoqing.

In April, when the weather was getting warmer, two carriages with plain curtains stopped beside the official road one after the other. Shen Yulin got out of the carriage and saw Du Ruoqing raised the curtain to look at him. Only then can we see you again, Brother Du..."

Du Ruoqing said with a slight smile: "Brother Shen, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I'm tired of right and wrong all these years, and now I just want to go back to my hometown and be a teacher to spend the rest of my life. Even though Mr. Zheng loves me so much, I can only live up to this good intention." .”

Shen Yulin sighed lowly: "Since Brother Du has already decided to go, Yulin doesn't want to talk too much, Brother Du, take it seriously."

Du Ruoqing nodded, then chuckled lightly, and said: "Back when I, Du Ruoqing, was full of horses and horses, everyone at the table was full of relatives. Now that I resign and go home, only Brother Shen is the one to see me off."

Shen Yulin smiled faintly, and watched the carriage get on the official road with his hands behind his back, and gradually drifted away.

"My lord, it's very windy here, why don't you go back earlier." Jin Xiu said.

Shen Yulin looked away, sighed, and said, "Let's go."

Some people are passers-by after all.

……

The sun was getting higher and higher, the carriage was entering the city, and there was a lot of voices outside the curtain, with laughter mixed in from time to time, even if you just listened to it, you could know that it must be a picture scroll of a prosperous age.

Shen Yulin closed her eyes, but her lips slowly curled up.

Jin is a peaceful and prosperous age, Ning is a strong country with iron and blood, and the imperial court is a cage that restrains the king, binds courtiers, and oppresses all people. How lucky he is to go back thousands of years and show his ambitions at the beginning of this prosperous age.

And... stroking the fine needlework of the brocade clothes on his body, Shen Yulin's complexion was a little soft. In this life, he got too much.

Thinking of his mother, he couldn't help but think of that weird younger brother again, Shen Yulin frowned, recalling the baby's frightening and flattering appearance to him, just like his grandson Bin'er in the previous life, he was a little soft-hearted.

Shen Yulin sighed, that's all, in the past and present, what conspiracies and tricks has he been afraid of?Haosheng pays attention to it.

He was thinking about it, the carriage shook slightly, then stopped slowly after a short distance, Jin Xiu who was driving outside suddenly said: "Young master...the Jia's mansion is going to mourn."

Shen Yulin was startled, "Mourning? It's...who?"

Jinxiu has been with Shen Yulin for a long time, so she naturally knew his background, she pursed her lips and said, "It's the old lady of Jia's family, at such an advanced age, it's considered joy and sorrow."

Shen Yulin lifted the curtain, and saw a group of funeral guards slowly passing by the carriage, silently.

That's right, the back streets of King Ning's Mansion are not allowed to make noise. After the national plaque is removed, this Jia's family is just a second-rank general's mansion, and has no real power, so it is natural to follow the rules.

He only met this old lady of Jia's family twice during the Chinese New Year and her birthday, and he didn't care what she liked or disliked. The only thing that impressed him was the New Year's banquet in the mansion. He paid New Year's greetings to all the elders, and the old lady gave a The lucky bag containing eight golden lockets...only two more than the girl who got the face.

He still remembers those cloudy eyes with a hint of disdain, and that careless attitude of rewarding a servant, which formed a clear contrast with her doting Jia Baoyu's expression.

Speaking of Jia Baoyu, Shen Yulin frowned, unable to remember whether he was the useless one or the crazy one.

However, this has nothing to do with him.

Shen Yulin sighed lowly, and was about to put down the curtain, when he heard a loud horse neighing, looked up, and saw a majestic snow-treading black-maned horse with its head raised, crossing the funeral procession and rushing straight to the official road, the black man in front The coffin was forced to shake a few times, and the servants who carried the coffin managed to stabilize themselves. Looking again, the person and the horse had already gone.

People take tea to cool down...

Shen Yulin pursed her lips and lowered the curtain, but she didn't notice the resentful gaze from the crowd.

☆☆☆☆☆.

"Ruoqing, Ruoqing, wait for me!"

Du Ruoqing pursed her lips and sighed lowly: "Suyun, stop, I should say goodbye to him too."

Su Yun looked back, only to see one person and one horse coming from Juechen, they chased all the way, he couldn't help hesitating: "Master, this person..."

Du Ruoqing closed her eyes, "It's just an old friend."

Su Yun has always been the most understanding of winks, and stopped asking no more questions, and slowly stopped the carriage.

Ji Mingli walked up to him, paused, and got off his horse.

Du Ruoqing raised the curtain and looked up. The two looked at each other, and they were speechless for a moment.

Ji Mingli was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "You are leaving Beijing, why didn't you tell me?"

Du Ruoqing said lightly: "Whether I say it or not, the prince will still know, won't he?"

Ji Mingli pursed his lips, and said, "It was my fault for sending someone to follow you, but you clearly know that I..."

Du Ruoqing sneered and said: "I'm just a grassroots person, what can I know about the prince?"

Ji Mingli sighed: "Ruoqing, I was the one who betrayed you in the past. I know your heart, and I didn't dare to see you again, but Jingzhong has a bright future, how can it be so easy..."

Du Ruoqing said: "Future? The future rewarded by the prince?"

Ji Mingli smiled wryly, "Ruoqing, your temperament still hasn't changed."

Du Ruoqing said lightly: "I was born like this, and I can't change it in this life."

Ji Mingli said: "If you leave Beijing because of me, how about I go to fief the land? I won't... trouble you."

Du Ruoqing sneered and said: "So infatuated! My lord, what did you do long ago? Now that I've made up my mind to return home, ah, maybe I can marry a few wives and concubines. After all, I'm too old, and I can't compare to the charming and charming lord. Qi Guan'er, if you don't let me get out of the way, you won't get in the way!"

Ji Mingli said angrily: "How do you compare with him? Ruoqing, I know you annoy me, but how can you humiliate yourself?"

Du Ruoqing said: "What is it? I was desperate at the beginning, the prince gave me a place to stand, it was my wishful thinking, forced a bad relationship, and I was hypocritical, mean and jealous, I made the prince tired of it, and wasting my years is still a bad reward." , and Qi Guan paid much more than me with his affection for Xu Jun and his body in repayment."

Ji Mingli never said that he couldn't speak against Du Ruoqing, so he could only smile wryly: "I'm the one who got the evil reward. I'm blindfolded by the flashy beauty, but I can't see the sincerity."

Du Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "It's getting late, and the grass people have to hurry, my lord, I won't see you off."

Ji Mingli said urgently: "If you insist on leaving, I will not be this prince and go with you!"

Du Ruoqing put down the curtain, and said coldly: "Follow if you want, don't fool me with nonsense, if you, the world's number one dude, are sincere, there will be no one in the world who has a heartless heart."

Before Ji Mingli could say something, the carriage was already moving forward slowly.
