I heard you want to let me down

Lin Qingya and his subordinates were sent out of the door amicably by Rong Huaisong.

One of them asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you think there is something wrong with this girl?"

Lin Qingya stretched her waist, looking lazy and foolish: "How do I know, don't I still have to ask Gu Ruzhuo? If his answers are all right, there should be no problem. Let's go to Bailu Academy .”

In White Deer Academy, after a class was over, Gu Ruzhuo had just taken out the half-carved wooden hairpin when a little book boy walked in: "Senior brother Gu, the supervisor is calling you over."

Gu Ruzhuo was startled, put the hairpin back into his sleeves, and stood up: "Thank you."

Lin Qingyang happened to be beside him: "Senior Brother Gu, I'll go with you. It just so happens that I'm going to ask for leave from the prison."

On the way, Lin Qingyang chattered happily: "The family sent a letter saying that my brother has been transferred back in the past two days, and I will ask for leave to go home for a few days. My brother was awarded a Jinshi in the first place, and he went to another place directly. I haven't seen him for three or four years."

When they arrived at the study room of the prison, the two knocked on the door and entered.

"Students have seen the prison."

After saluting, he raised his head, only to notice that there were several other people in the room besides the supervisor.

Lin Qingyang suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Brother!"

No matter how young and deep Lin Qingya was, when he saw his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for many years, he couldn't help but take a closer look first: "Grow up."

Lin Qingyang was so excited: "Brother, why are you here? Are you here to pick me up?!"

"That's not true." Lin Qingya cast his eyes on Gu Ruzhuo who came with him: "I'm here for work."

The supervisor sat in his seat and looked at Gu Ruzhuo kindly: "Ruzhuo, this is Mrs. Lin Qingya who was newly transferred from Huainan Mansion. He received a complaint saying that you and the little girl of the Rong family were married in a fake marriage, which violated the law. The law. You don’t have to be afraid, just answer whatever they ask. Our academy is not a place where people can be bullied.”

Lin Qingya smiled wryly: "Guardian, look at what you said, it seems that I came to find fault on purpose. I also came out of the academy, how could I do such a thing?"

"It's not finding fault." The supervisor didn't give this former academy student any face at all: "Fake marriage? I've lived for many years, and I haven't seen any government come to investigate such a thing. I've never heard of such a thing!"

"Fake marriage? Brother, you made a mistake." Lin Qingyang muttered in disbelief: "I think the two of them look much more affectionate than you and sister-in-law..."

Lin Qingya turned back and glared at him: "Lin Qingyang! Shut up!"

"obviously it is."

In the end, Gu Ruzhuo was the most cooperative: "If you want to ask anything, just ask."

Lin Qingya knocked on the table and said sincerely: "You have a bright future, why are you willing to join the Rong family? No matter how luxurious the Rong family is, it is just a merchant. I'm afraid it will hinder your reputation in the future."

"Didn't your lord investigate my experience before you came here?" Gu Ruzhuo laughed, "I'm a servant bought by the Rong family. Is it possible that you still care about the merchant?"

Lin Qingya's eyes deepened slightly: "Are you willing to marry because Miss Rong is kind to you?"

"Your Excellency may want to ask more, is it because of the Rong family's money, or to get rid of slavery, that I am willing to join the family?" Gu Ruzhuo laughed at himself, and then his expression was tender for a moment: "Maybe my lord does not want to marry you." Believe it, but I really adore him."

Sensing the momentary unkind gazes from the supervisor and the younger brother, Lin Qingya bit the bullet and coughed: "Cough. I naturally believe that Junior Brother Gu is not the kind of person who seeks profit."

Lin Qingya also came out of Bailu Academy, so it was reasonable for him to call Gu Ruzhuo a junior, and it was considered a good gesture.

Lin Qingyang couldn't help interjecting: "Senior Brother Gu is definitely not that kind of person. Senior Brother Gu treats Miss Rong very well! Who in our class doesn't know that every day when he is free, Senior Brother Gu will carve a hairpin for Miss Rong with his own hands!"

As soon as he said that, he remembered, and immediately went to pull Gu Ruzhuo's sleeve: "Just before I came here, Senior Brother Gu was still engraving it. Quickly, take it out and show it to him!"

Gu Ruzhuo had no choice but to take out the wooden hairpin from his sleeve under the watchful eyes of everyone: "The craftsmanship is so crude, it makes everyone laugh."

Everyone fixed their eyes and took a look.

Indeed, it is quite simple...

If Miss Rong is willing to wear this kind of hairpin, it is probably true love...

The supervisor frowned: "Have you finished asking?"

"Okay, okay, last question." Lin Qingya didn't feel like he was here to interrogate, but rather the one being interrogated: "Have you consummated the house yet?"

Gu Ruzhuo didn't answer, and looked at Lin Qingya with unkind eyes.

Lin Qingya explained: "We are just doing things as usual."

"No." After a while, Gu Ruzhuo finally replied: "I plan to end next year, hoping to win one or two fame."

"It's a brazen face. I'm lucky to have him take pity on me. How dare I slack off a bit and make the girl feel ashamed because of me."

The next few questions were neither painful nor itchy, and Gu Ruzhuo answered them one by one with a calm expression.

"I'm done asking." Lin Qingya also breathed a sigh of relief: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's basically consistent with what Miss Rong said."

Gu Ruzhuo's face turned very cold in an instant: "Have you gone to find him?"

Lin Qingya raised her eyebrows: "Miss Rong knows very well that we don't mean to offend. He is very cooperative and has no resistance."

If it was an ordinary girl's family, she would probably be ashamed and angry, but that girl Rong is indeed not an ordinary person. Although her attitude was very cold, she really didn't show any shyness or anger.

Judging from Lin Qingya's previous investigation of Gu Ruzhuo, Gu Ruzhuo should be a person who looks gentle and dignified, and his face is watertight. This person is either cold in nature or deep in thought.But at this moment, his annoyance and unhappiness were clearly on his face, and he couldn't hide it.

Gu Ruzhuo's friendship is probably true, but it's hard to say about that very calm girl Rong.But what does it matter to him?He also doesn't want to do this kind of errand like three aunts and six wives who inquire about other people's boudoir affairs!Who made him a newcomer and had to do it!

Lin Qingya showed a relieved smile: "In this case, we will leave."

Lin Qingyang called him: "Brother, don't go, I'm about to ask for leave from the prison. Wait for me. Come home with you."

"What leave?" Lin Qingya turned around and looked at his younger brother coldly: "Study hard in the academy, and don't ask for leave!"

Lin Qingyang: "...Oh."

……

As soon as Gu Ruzhuo returned to Zhilanyuan, Rong Jin called him over.

Rong Jin sat in a pavilion with a wide view, and Shuangyun stood guard outside the pavilion.Rong Jin held a small stove in his hand: "Did someone look for you today?"

Gu Ruzhuo nodded, and he told Rong Jin the conversation with Lin Qingya today in detail.When he heard the sentence "consummate the house", his eyes wandered a little, but he tried to repeat it in a normal tone as much as possible.

Rong Jin also felt a little uncomfortable.After all, this person in front of him once showed his affection to him passionately, Rong Jin can no longer treat him as an ordinary same-sex person, or even a child.He lowered his eyelashes: "You answered very well."

Gu Ruzhuo stood aside and said in a low voice, "Yes."

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

This silent atmosphere made Rong Jin very entangled, he felt that what he was about to say in a while was becoming more and more difficult to say.

At this time, Shuangyun coughed suddenly.

Rong Jin looked up, and saw a few girls walking towards here from a distance, and Rong Shishi was among them.

Rong Jin really wanted to help his forehead, this is really a narrow road for enemies.He very much hoped that they could see himself in the pavilion, and then go around here wisely, so as not to let everyone look at each other and hate each other.Sure enough, they looked up and saw him, but unfortunately, not only did they not make a detour, but instead, after discussing a few words, they came straight towards this side.

Rong Jin began to think: I pretend I didn't see them now, and then walk from the other side of the pavilion, is it too late?Then he found out sadly that he had chosen the Huxin Pavilion because he wanted to find a place with open surroundings and where no one would listen to the corners...

Rong Jin kept silent, Gu Ruzhuo quietly raised his head to look over, and saw Rong Jin's expression of a little loveless.Gu Ruzhuo was startled, and immediately glanced at the way he came, and sure enough, he saw several girls from the Rong family walking towards this side, and there seemed to be Rong Shiyi inside.

Gu Ruzhuo withdrew his gaze, looking at his nose, nose and heart, only a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

Rong Shiyi and his group came over: "Sister Twelve, what a coincidence."

Rong Jin greeted them patiently: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence. Why don't you see Eighth Sister?"

Rong Ba has always been inseparable from Rong Shishi, one is in charge of the open spear, and the other is in charge of the dark arrow.Didn't see Rong Ba today?

"Don't Twelve Sisters know?" Rong Shiyi opened his eyes wide, and smiled weakly: "Eighth Sister's wedding date has been fixed, and she is embroidering her wedding dress in the house every day."

Rong Jin never cared about this, and really didn't know: "Really?"

"It's not surprising that a busy person like my younger sister doesn't care about this." Rong Shiyi and the others sat down in the pavilion: "Eighth sister's future husband-in-law, I heard that he is the second son of Tong Zhi's family, and he already has the status of Juren. Woolen cloth."

Tongzhi is not a high-ranking official, but in Huainan City, he can be regarded as a real poor man. In addition, the Rong family is a merchant, this is indeed a rare good marriage.

Rong Jin and Rong Ba have a bad relationship, but in Rong Jin's eyes, Rong Ba is just an adolescent girl after all, and he has no reason to expect her to be bad.So he said sincerely: "That's really congratulations."

Another girl suddenly said sourly: "But you don't have to envy my younger sister. My younger sister is the second uncle's best friend. At that time, she will only be better than my eighth elder sister. There is no reason to be worse than this."

Rong Eleven gave the girl a gentle push: "What did Ninth Sister say? Twelve Sisters are already married. Isn't my brother-in-law standing beside me?"

Rong Jiu immediately exaggerated: "Oh, I forgot that my sister is already married. The main reason is that the wedding is too simple. First, there is no betrothal gift, and second, there is no sedan chair. I don't have much impression."

With sympathy and pity in Eleven Eyes, Rong said comfortingly: "Although brother-in-law's status is a bit low, sister, you can stay at home and live comfortably. Don't worry about these things."

Rong Jin: "..."

Rong Jin seriously suspected that after they saw him, they whispered for a moment, maybe they were discussing the script at this moment.

If Rong Jin wasn't afraid of being ruined, he really wanted to ask, if everyone has no grievances, is there any need to be so mean?

In the eyes of these girls, getting married is a big deal.A woman's greatest achievement in this life depends on who she marries.So Rong Jin married a pauper who was born as a slave, even though he was married, it immediately gave them a sense of superiority.They probably held back for several days to see his jokes, but he never had the chance to stay at home, and now they finally caught him.

Rong Shiyi looked worried: "But how did I hear that my brother-in-law moved back to the small building to sleep the next day? Could it be that there was a quarrel?"

In fact, for people with some conditions, it is normal for husband and wife to sleep in separate yards, but Rong Jin's question about Rong Shiyi hit Rong Jin's heart. He wanted to talk to Gu Ruzhuo before, but he couldn't bring himself to talk about it. .

Rong Jin's expression was cold: "I haven't been feeling well for the past few days, so I will naturally live together in the same bed."

Gu Ruzhuo was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Rong Jin.

Rong Jin's face was as white as ice and snow, his eyes were looking at the lake from a distance, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Gu Ruzhuo said softly: "Girl, it's too cold, let's go back after sitting down for a while."

Rong Jin stood up slowly, so as not to look so impatient: "Okay."

Rong Jin avoided Rong Shiyi and the others, and walked out of the pavilion.

It snowed heavily a few days ago, and there is still snow on the pavilion that has not melted.It seemed that a sparrow was flapping its wings on the pavilion, and some snow fell from the corner of the pavilion, just in front of Rong Jin who was walking by.

Before Rong Jin moved, Gu Ruzhuo lightly brushed the falling snow from Rong Jin's hair, then squatted down and touched Rong Jin's shoe upper: "Girl's shoes are wet."

Rong Jin shrank back unobtrusively, with his usual expression: "It doesn't matter. I'll be back soon."

"The girl is delicate, how can she wear wet shoes and socks in winter?" Gu Ruzhuo stood up disapprovingly, motioned to Shuangyun to help Rong Jin back to sit down in the pavilion, bent down and took off Rong Jin's shoes himself , and handed it to Shuangyun: "Fortunately, the socks are not wet. I will carry the girl back."

In front of everyone, Rong Jin couldn't refuse categorically: "No, there's no need?"

The boy in front of him had a straight back, but he was willing to bend down to take off his shoes.He looked at Rong Jin with a smile, the tenderness in his eyes was like a summer lake: "Then I hug the girl?"

The young man insisted on standing where he was, but Rong Jin finally compromised: "You carry it on your back."
