happy day

The old wooden stairs creaked and creaked into the house. Liu Yihan straightened up from the clay stove, "It should be that Yiru is back."

Yun Chang quickly stood up from the stool, quietly stretched out her hand to stretch the hem of the clothes, smoothed the creases on it, and straightened the Ruyi hairpin on her head.

She hasn't seen Liu Yiru since that day at the restaurant.In the past few days, I came to the inn to get close to Liu Yihan through the matter of embroidery. Because it was daytime, Liu Yiru was also in the martial arts hall and couldn't meet each other. It was rare that he returned early today and finally got to see him.

Yun Chang was both excited and apprehensive.At this moment, she had already forgotten Yun Jue's warning not to meet Liu Yiru.

Liu Yiru lived in a cheaper single room next door. He washed his face and changed into dark blue homely clothes, and then came to visit his mother.Seeing a strange girl in the room, he knew it was the girl Gu that his mother and sister had mentioned.

"Thank you, Ms. Gu, for taking care of my mother and sister these past few days, getting medicine for my mother, and selling embroidery for my sister. Liu is very grateful." Liu Yiru was very respectful to Yun Shang.

When a person is in the spring breeze, many close friends will gather around him, like icing on the cake, but when he is down, how many people will give charcoal and lend a helping hand?So Liu Yiru is really grateful for this pretty girl.

The person in front of him was as handsome as he had imagined in his mind. Yun Chang blushed and felt her voice trembling, "Young Master Liu, you don't have to be polite. I hit it off with Sister Han. The purses and handkerchiefs she embroiders are elegant and colorful. , unconventional, it is also to attract business for us when placed in the embroidery shop."

Liu Yiru looked at his sister, Liu Yihan was always famous for his beauty among the beauties in the capital, in just a few days, the circles under his eyes turned blue, his eyes were bloodshot, his ten spring onion-like fingers were also red and swollen, how could he have the luxury of a famous lady.

Liu Yiru lowered his head, "My sister has been embroidering all day and night, and her eyes are red. It's my brother's incompetence that has caused my sister to work so hard."

Liu Yihan's nose was sour, "You are the hardest one, running around all day, and also being a boxer to support the family. My sister is not doing embroidery in the house. I used to do it in the boudoir. I often embroider to pass the time. Now I can do it." It would be nice to exchange some loose money and share a little bit for you."

She remembered something, "By the way, Sister Chang'er bought the medicine for her mother, and there is still two taels of silver for the medicine. If you have silver with you, give her the money for the medicine."

After hearing this, Liu Yiru quickly took out the money, "It just so happened that today I went to the martial arts hall to pay in advance for this month's salary."

Yun Shang hurriedly said: "The purse and handkerchief embroidered by Sister Han are sold in the embroidery shop, and the money from selling them is enough to pay for the medicine."

Liu Yihan came over and took the money from his younger brother and stuffed it into Yunshang's hand, "Listen to my sister, you can get credit for other things, but you can't get credit for medicine, and the medicine that comes on credit won't cure your illness."

After hearing this, Yun Shang could only take the silver, "Shang'er just accept what Sister Han says."

Liu Yiru was also quite relieved to see that his elder sister was so close to Miss Gu.Liu Yihan has always been aloof, and has little contact with the ladies in the capital, so he didn't want to fall in love with this girl who met by chance.

Ever since she divorced Wu Luan, her sister has been depressed.Immediately afterwards, there was a great change in the family. His father was convicted and imprisoned, took poison and committed suicide, and his mother also fell ill. He was really worried that his sister would not be able to bear it.

Now that Miss Gu is in front of her, it can relieve the knots in women's hearts when they talk to each other. It seems that Miss Gu is really kind and amiable.With this in mind, I unconsciously looked at Yun Chang twice.

As soon as Yun Chang raised her head, she met Liu Yihan's gaze, those eyes were soul-stirring, like a whirlpool that could suck people in.Yun Chang blushed, lowered her head shyly, and stirred a fine gauze handkerchief embroidered with magnolia flowers with her fingers, as if it could stir up water.

After meeting each other, Liu Yiru was slightly taken aback, his eyes were clear and bright, as if stained with autumn water, they were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.He has never had much acquaintance with women, and now he can't remember when he met her.

Liu Yiru had too many things to worry about, and he didn't have time to sit for a long time. He stood up and said, "Miss Gu will talk to my mother and sister, and Liu has to go out to find out if there is a suitable house to rent."

"I was talking about this with Sister Han just now." Yunshang said about the house in Jinyu Hutong, "That house is a three-entry yard, which is just suitable for a family. My cousin is away, and he asked me to find a reliable house before leaving. His family will take care of the house for him. Otherwise, I will take you and Sister Han to have a look, and if I feel that I can live there comfortably, I will move there."

Yun Shang spoke modestly, but Liu Yiru found it strange that this girl seemed to be in a hurry to give them a house to live in, although it was a matter of favor and favor.

Liu Yiru was full of arrogance, although he was downcast, he didn't want to accept favors for nothing, so he immediately declined, "Miss Gu's kindness, I accept it wholeheartedly. It's just that we have already troubled you a lot, so we can't accept your favors over and over again. My mother is not in good health, and I am often outside, and the elder sister in the courtyard of Sanjin can't take care of her alone, so I just need to find a small house."

Yun Chang bit her lower lip, with a nervous and shy expression, "Young Master Liu, why don't you just treat me as a favor? Otherwise, my cousin will blame me."

Yun Chang's eyes were misty, and the rippling eyes made Liu Yiru suddenly think of the masked man who broke into Yushi's mansion that night.On the roof, I stabbed the man's chest with my sword finger. The man's eyes were shy and angry, very similar to the girl standing opposite at the moment.Taking a closer look at Yun Chang's stature, she is slender and slender, exactly the same as the person that night.

Liu Yihan, who was on the side, saw that his younger brother was unwilling to move to the house in Jinyu Hutong, so he followed suit to smooth things over, "It's also what Yiru said, I'm alone on weekdays, and I have to take care of my mother. The house is too big to take care of, so why don't you find a smaller one?" It's easy to take care of."

"Let's move to Jinyu Alley." Liu Yiru said suddenly.

"What?" Liu Yihan and Yunshang looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly changed his mind.

"Of course that's good." Seeing Liu Yiru agreeing, Yun Shang was both surprised and delighted.

Liu Yiru took out the salary in his arms and the extra five taels of silver that the owner of the pavilion gave him, "But it's not for nothing. We rent it. The monthly rent of the house in the courtyard is ten taels of silver on the market. , the location of Jinyu Hutong is good, since your cousin is afraid that the house will be deserted, it must be tidy and clean, so I will pay you 15 taels a month. Here is 13 taels, and I will pay you another [-] taels in two days."

With that said, he handed the silver in his hand to Yun Shang.Yun Shang didn't want to accept it at first, but Liu Yiru's attitude was firm. Yun Shang also knew that he would not accept the money. Liu Yiru would definitely not move to Jinyu Alley, so he could only reach out to accept it.

The hands of the two touched each other unexpectedly, Yun Chang was stunned, her heart was beating like it was going to pop out of her chest.

An overwhelming force came from the intersecting hands of the two of them, Yun Chang's body went numb, and the internal strength of her whole body was blocked.In a flash, that energy dissipated again, as if the situation just now was just Yun Shang's illusion.

Liu Yiru withdrew his hand, and took a deep look at Yunshang, "Yiru is reckless, Miss Gu forgive me."

Yun Chang recalled that day and night when he visited Yushi's mansion, he poked his sword finger and hit his chest, his face was flushed with red, and he stammered: "No, it's okay. I, I'll go outside and hire a big car. A little carriage, we can move there in no time."

After saying this, Yun Chang ran away in a hurry, and when she went out, her leg hit the door frame.She also found it strange that she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to kill Liu Yiru, an apprentice, but she felt inexplicably distressed when she saw him being bullied in the wine shop that day.

After that, the figure of this person would appear in my mind from time to time, and sometimes I would get distracted and prick my fingers while embroidering flowers.Seeing him today is even more joyful, the traces of emotion in the girl's heart are really being cut and confused.

Liu Yihan couldn't help complaining softly to Liu Yiru, "Your salary is only ten taels of silver a month, how can we afford to rent such an expensive house. The silver is not enough for the rent, and now we can't even afford rice noodles."

Liu Yiru's expression was indistinguishable, "Sister, don't worry, you believe that brother is."

Liu Yiru has been very assertive since he was a child.Now he is the only male left in the Liu family, so naturally he listens to him.Although Liu Yihan was worried, he didn't say anything, and started packing the family's clothes.

The Liu family moved to the house in Jinyu Hutong. The house is very big. It is said to be a courtyard with three entrances. In fact, there is a large garden behind it. It is just early summer, and it is full of peach blossoms and willows. It is too beautiful to behold.

The back-shaped promenade connects the three courtyards back and forth. The courtyard is spacious and the rooms are transparent. There are all kinds of household items inside. The red sandalwood carvings in the water can be seen to be of great value. Household possessions need to be considered.

The siblings settled Mrs. Liu well, and waited for Mrs. Liu to take medicine and sleep.Liu Yihan looked around, and said to his younger brother nervously: "Yiru, this house doesn't look like an ordinary family's, I'm afraid it's not only a rent of 15 taels of silver. It's just a matter of accepting such a big favor from Miss Gu and her cousin. But what should I do?"

Liu Yiru stood under the tree, brushed a bright hibiscus flower on the tree with his slender fingers, his eyes were cold and thoughtful.

Just now at the Tongfu Inn, when he delivered the money, he found out about the girl's inside information. It was the person who fought against him on the roof of Yushi's Mansion that night.What's even more weird is that although her internal strength is not as profound as Yun Jue's, it is in the same line as Yun Jue.

He didn't dare to tell his sister this, for fear that she would be worried, so he just asked his sister, "Sister, what's the girl's name?"

"Her surname is Gu, and her name is Gu Yunshang, but she is as beautiful as her name, beautiful and intelligent."

"Gu Yunshang? Yunshang... Yunjue..." Liu Yiru murmured, his expression was cold, but there seemed to be fire burning in his eyes.He whispered: "Sister, this Miss Gu is not simple."
