I heard you want to let me down

Mrs. Yao originally came here with a faint anger in her heart, but when she left, her steps were clear and her smile was like a flower.

It's not that Rong Jin doesn't know how to please girls, thinking that he was the type that girls, especially big sisters, liked in modern times.It's just that the sisters of the Rong family don't like him for various reasons, and there are a few who are particularly hostile to him. He is almost suffering from misophobia in the Rong family.

Now that I've changed my partner, it's much better.No, he and Mrs. Yao got along very well. We listened to the play together, and then went shopping together, helped each other pick out some fabrics, and successfully established a preliminary, superficial friendship.

The two also made an appointment to continue listening to the play next time.

After two or three times like this, Gu Ruzhuo pretended to be casual and said at the dinner table once, "A Jin, you seem to be getting close to sister-in-law Yao's family recently?"

Rong Jin didn't raise his head: "Yes. The sister-in-law of the Yao family is a nice person and has a good vision."

Gu Ruzhuo pursed his lips: "After all, there is a difference between men and women."

Rong Jin paused, and said solemnly: "I know, every time I meet my sister-in-law of the Yao family, I do so in public. I also have many followers around me, and I have never done anything inappropriate."

Gu Ruzhuo wanted to ask him: Can't we not see him?

But he didn't speak in the end.This kind of saying, the meaning behind it, is an insult to Ah Jin.

When they met for the fourth time, only Li Yun, Rong Jin and their confidantes were in the room. Rong Jin put a lot of money on the table and said bluntly: "Madam Yao, I want to see Master Li."

Li Yun looked at Rong Jin with a complicated expression: "What if I don't agree?"

Rong Jin then said kindly: "Then let's continue to listen to the play."

Li Yun smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I know that I am not a very smart person. With your rank, it must not be too difficult to extract his itinerary from me. face."

"I'm not sincere towards Mrs. Yao, but it's not like that." Rong Jin looked calm, "If Mrs. Yao is unwilling, I will naturally think of other ways."

It's just the fastest and most convenient way.He always has to try.

Li Yun was silent for a while: "What are you looking for with my second brother?"

"It's something that is inconvenient to say clearly, but I assure Mrs. Yao that I will not pose a threat to Lord Li."

Li Yun was silent for a long time: "I will pass on a message for you. As for whether the second brother will see you or not, that is the second brother's business."

Rong Jin gently pushed the gift box towards Li Yun: "Thank you, Mrs. Yao."

Li Yun pushed back angrily: "I won't accept your things."

There was a vague smile in Rong Jin's eyes: "Accept. I know Madam regards me as a friend and despises me as a vulgar and has ulterior motives. But apart from these, I have nothing to express my apology and gratitude."

Rong Jin was frank, and Li Yun said bluntly after a while: "I'm not angry either. After all, I came to see you at the beginning only because of Yao Xian, who kept nagging at home and made my brain hurt."

"Then we won't be friends in the future?" Li Yun was a little sad, "Actually, I knew that you kept me distanced from the beginning. I always call you Ajin, but you always only call me Mrs. Yao."

She was born in a general family and has a straightforward temperament, but after marrying Yao Xian, the only people she contacts and entertains on a daily basis are the ladies and wives of the scholarly family.She's impatient with other people's witty conversations, and she can't play with those poetry clubs and painting clubs, she just likes to listen to excerpts.But she really likes Mrs. Gu, who has met for a few times, but has a similar temperament, reticent and pleasant.

Rong Jin said in a low voice: "Madam and I are naturally friends. It's just that I have something to hide, and it's inconvenient for me to get too close to Madam."

Rong Jin also likes this girl with a sharp temperament, but this is ancient times, although the defense of men and women is not too heavy, it can't be compared with modern times.He is a man, so it's okay to meet him a few times now, if he really got too close to Mrs. Yao, if he regained his manly body in the future, it would not be a good thing for Li Yun.

Li Yun started to eat melon seeds: "Forget it, I don't understand you people. Since we are friends, let's continue watching the theater today."

"By the way, Mrs. Yao, I hope you can help me keep this matter a secret, even if it's Young Master Yao."

……

"Madam Gu, you are really amazing."

Li Chang sat on the main seat and drank tea: "It's not that no one has sought me through A Yun's network these years, and no one has ever succeeded. You are the first."

The position he was in was relatively sensitive, and no one came to ask him if he had nothing to do.If he didn't want to find a vacancy in the Imperial Forest Army for his children, it would be some ambitious royal family who secretly sent people to contact him.In order not to cause trouble for him, Li Yun always refused such requests.

Rong Jin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect it to be like this: "Am I so favored by Mrs. Yao?"

"Ayun looks careless, but actually has a good eye. Since she considers you a friend, I will listen to what you have to say." Li Chang put down his teacup, "Madam Gu, please tell me directly."

Rong Jin cut to the chase: "As Vice Commander Li expected, I'm here to be a lobbyist."

"For Your Highness?"

"Of course not."

Li Chang raised his eyebrows with interest: "But I heard that Master Xiao Gu and His Highness seem to be walking relatively close?"

"But why does Lord Li feel that I am standing with him?" Rong Jin laughed, "Is there anyone who doesn't know now? He climbed up to the third princess, the beloved sister of His Royal Highness, so naturally a I stepped on His Majesty's boat. I once helped Gu Ruzhuo to live in poverty, but he changed his mind after he became rich. You adults may think it should be taken for granted, but I can't bear this tone."

Li Chang said indifferently: "He is your husband after all."

"Gu Ruzhuo betrayed his promise, but the Rong family was afraid of his current status and told me to endure it blindly, and even planned to move out Gu Ruzhuo's original status as the son-in-law. But I was the heir of the Rong family! There are many children, it is not easy for me to get into this position, why should I lose everything for such a man? Besides, when the day when His Majesty succeeds, the three princesses will become more powerful, and I will either become a concubine or die unknown Not white."

"I want to find a way of life that is not so aggrieved for myself, so naturally I have to find another enlightened master."

"Looking for another enlightened master?" Li Chang repeated this sentence, and then said coldly, "I didn't see it, so what enlightened master is there to find?"

Rong Jin asked back: "Does Vice Commander Li think His Highness is a good Lord?"

"At least His Highness has a high chance of winning."

Li Chang himself knew the eldest prince well, this man was manipulative and vicious, he was exactly the same as the current emperor, of course he couldn't be called a good emperor.But are the other highnesses better than the great highness?Maybe not as good as His Majesty.

Although he didn't intend to join His Highness's sect, he wouldn't join other incompetent people either.

Rong Jin whispered: "How do you know there is no Qianlong by your side?"

"Even if your master is really accumulating strength secretly, there is a good chance of winning, but why should I get involved in this kind of thing? The Li family is a century-old family, so there is no need to fight for this meritorious service. It's better to be honest and work, so you can naturally be stable. "

"The century-old Li family is naturally not afraid of the ebb and flow of the tide. Vice Commander Li doesn't want to think about his own future, doesn't he think about his own sister?" Rong Jin asked him, "Yao Haisheng is the most powerful and beloved general of His Highness. You know, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Mr. Yao is innocent and straightforward by nature, I wonder if he will still be alive by then?"

Li Chang said coolly: "You don't have to be so euphemistic. I know he Yao Xian is a fool. If he can fight Yao Haisheng, he will really be able to climb a tree. But so what? Can't even protect my sister? It's time to change her into a good one."

Rong Jin smiled and said: "Mr. Yao is naturally romantic, but he doesn't fight back when he hits or scolds at home. He defends Mrs. Yao in front of his elders. More importantly, Mrs. Yao and Mr. Yao are childhood sweethearts and love each other. Quite deep. Such a sister-in-law, if one dies, it may not be possible to find a second one."

Li Chang's fingers were slightly clasped on the armrest: "Even so, it's impossible for me to put the whole Li family on it just for one girl."

Seeing that Li Chang was loose, Rong Jin immediately smiled and said, "Master Li misunderstood. We didn't intend to ask Master Li to surrender his allegiance."

"I came to see Lord Li today, but I just wanted to say hello to Lord Li. If one day, my lord and His Highness meet on a narrow road, and if the situation is favorable for my lord, I would like to ask Lord Li for convenience."

Li Chang was silent for a long time: "I don't know which Highness Miss Rong is loyal to?"

Rong Jin waved his hand: "Since Master Li doesn't want to get involved in these gossips, naturally the less you know, the better."

Li Chang laughed: "Miss Rong guards me like this, how can I trust Miss Rong? If the time comes, the one who wins is not the Highness you are loyal to?"

Rong Jin handed a wooden plaque to Li Chang: "That's why I said, if my lord wins at that time, please make it easier for Master Li. If my lord wins, Lord Li will exchange for the merits of the dragon with a little effort; My lord's situation is unfavorable, so Master Li just assume that I have never been here today, and you have never received this wooden sign. What effect will it have on the Lord and the Li family?"

After Rong Jin left, Li Chang sat on the spot and meditated.He didn't fully believe Rong Jin's words, but Rong Jin's last sentence was correct.This incident did not do any obvious harm to the Li family.If you can help the leader on the ship of the soon-to-be victor, why not do it?If the situation is unclear, then the Li family will naturally stand still.

He suddenly held his chin in doubt and asked: "Gu Ruzhuo married such a woman, can't he pass the beauty test outside?"

……

As the night was getting dark, Rong Jin got down from the carriage driving to the inner courtyard, and just took two steps when he heard a voice.

"Ajin, you're back."

Rong Jin's footsteps stopped immediately.He came back from Li Chang's place today, took a few detours, then went to the prince's place, and told the prince about Li Chang's reaction, so he came back late.But today Gu Ruzhuo should have an appointment with the third princess, how could he come back so early?

Gu Ruzhuo glanced at the men's clothes that Rong Jin had never seen before, and said with a smile, "Has Jin eaten?"

Rong Jin looked at Gu Ruzhuo: "I've eaten."

"Oh." Gu Ruzhuo avoided Rong Jin's sight, "Then I will eat it myself."

Rong Jin said suddenly, "Why didn't you ask me?"

"what?"

Rong Jin's face was a little cold: "Gu Ruzhuo, since you want to know where I went, why didn't you just ask me?"

Rong Jin approached him, staring into his eyes: "Why don't you dare to ask?"

Gu Ruzhuo forced a smile: "You're back now, aren't you?"

"So, I can go anywhere and meet anyone. It doesn't matter where I sleep. As long as I come back, it's fine, right?" Rong Jin suddenly felt very tired, "Ruzhuo, you shouldn't be in love. Is such that."

It's not that you are trembling, low into the dust, trying your best to give and please.I don't need you either.

In front of him, Gu Ruzhuo always kept his posture low.It was the first time for Rong Jin to fall in love again, and he had never noticed this problem before.Until that day when he rushed to the capital to pick up the drunk Gu Ruzhuo from Baihualou.Gu Ruzhuo was drunk and still full of fear, remembering that he smelled bad, so he wanted to sit outside the carriage.

It was only then that Rong Jin suddenly realized: Sometimes they are not like lovers, but more like master and servant.In terms of social status, Gu Ruzhuo has already surpassed him, but he still treats him cautiously.Because this is a disparity in affection, at least it is a disparity in affection in Gu Ruzhuo's heart.It was Rong Jin who was superior, and Gu Ruzhuo had to try his best to win and please the disparity.

Rong Jin wanted to give him enough sense of security, so he decided to cooperate with Gu Ruzhuo.If you want to protect me, then I am willing to be that protected role.

But today, when he came back late at night, he saw that Gu Ruzhuo's clothes were slightly wet, and he had stood outside the door waiting for him for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to ask him where he had been. Use a ruler to beat his impulse.

Rong Jin thought silently: Corporal punishment is not advisable.Raising this bastard who can piss people off every day, without beating him, absolutely can't do anything here.

Gu Ruzhuo didn't understand the latter sentence, but he understood the former one.He said eagerly: "You wouldn't treat me like this. I know, Ah Jin is not this kind of person. I just..."

"What are you?" Rong Jin helped him fill in the second half of the sentence, "You only trust my character, but not my friendship."

"Gu Ruzhuo, do you remember that you once asked me. When you said you fell in love with me when you had nothing, no one believed you were sincere. Ask me if you believe me or not. Let me tell you, I believe you are sincere." Rong Jin looked very aggressive today, "Now I want to ask you the same question. Gu Ruzhuo, now that you are barely ahead, there may not be many people who believe that I am still sincere to you. Believe it or not, I am sincere to you ?”

Gu Ruzhuo said sharply: "Of course I know that Ah Jin didn't agree to me because I was barely ahead of the crowd!"

Rong Jin smiled: "Why don't you answer my question directly. Gu Ruzhuo, let me ask you, do you believe that I treat you sincerely?"

Gu Ruzhuo was silent for a long time: "I see Ajin, she has always been calm, without fear or anger in everything."

Rong Jin understood.

Rong Jin himself admitted that he is indeed a relatively reserved person.He recalled his usual performance, it seemed that he was indeed a bit lukewarm, like an old couple.And Gu Ruzhuo is a girl's love brain, no wonder he feels that Rong Jin doesn't care about him.The two don't seem to be compatible.But for this kind of thing, it's useless to swear more.Now that he knows where the symptoms are, he just needs to pay attention in the future.

When the storm settles, the two of them will talk again.

As for the system, at that time, no matter what, the system should have discovered it, and saw the trick.He always felt that this system should not be malicious.After all, it's not that easy to be a bad guy, and it feels like its IQ is not enough.

Rong Jin said unhappily: "So I like those with lively eyebrows and eyes, no wonder they always run to Baihualou. The girl inside really smiles like a lotus flower just blooming, and tears like pear blossoms raining down."

Gu Ruzhuo broke down: "I'm not! I didn't! Where did you go again, Ajin?!"

Rong Jin said calmly: "By the way, I plan to move our two household registrations out of the Rong family."

Gu Ruzhuo suddenly raised his head: "Why?!"

Rong Jin: "There is no reason."

Gu Ruzhuo's face was ugly: "I don't agree!"

"I see that you are acting arrogantly. Sooner or later you will implicate the Rong family. It is better to separate the family as soon as possible."

"What about you?"

Whether Rong Jin's household registration is in the Rong family or not, that makes a big difference.At least, where have I heard that a married person is the head of the house!The Rong family was Rong Jin's last protection, so Gu Ruzhuo naturally hoped that Rong Jin could stay at the Rong family from beginning to end.

Rong Jin's face was cold: "Gu Ruzhuo, if you want me to stay in the Rong family so much, why don't you just divorce me? Why don't we just break up now and go our separate ways. I won't delay your matchmaking with the princess, you And don't delay my search for a beautiful woman. If you divorce me today, I promise to turn around and leave without saying a word. No matter whether you rise to the top or lose your life in the future, you will never come back to see you. If you don't stop, just be honest with me. "
