I heard you want to let me down

Gu Ruzhuo walked in the empty garden with Rong Jin on his back.He looked at his feet and deliberately avoided those snow-covered and uneven places, for fear that his feet would slip and fall to the person behind him.

After turning a few turns, they have absolutely disappeared from the sight of Rong Shiyi and the others, Rong Jin's voice froze uncomfortably: "They can't see, you put me down."

Gu Ruzhuo said softly with a smile: "Did the girl just let out a sigh of relief?"

Rong Jin recalled the complicated expressions on their faces when they saw Gu Ruzhuo bending over to take off his shoes just now, and had to admit: "It's really a bit of a pleasure."

As Rong Shixi said, although they married their husbands from a better family background, their husbands would never take off their shoes in public and carry them home like Gu Ruzhuo treated him.

Rong Jin repeated again: "You let me down, I will go by myself."

"The girl's shoes and socks are wet."

Rong Jin didn't take this little matter to heart at all: "It's okay. I'm pretty heavy."

"Not heavy." Gu Ruzhuo walked steadily: "Young lady is too thin, you should eat more."

These words were definitely filtered. Rong Jin knew that he was a young man after all. Although he looked thin, it was absolutely impossible for him to be as light as a fifteen-year-old girl.

Rong Jin's voice cooled down: "Gu Ruzhuo, let me down."

Gu Ruzhuo's footsteps paused for a moment, but he continued to walk forward: "I know, the girl asked me to recite it, because she didn't want me to come down, and it was also a show for them. But my reason is true, the girl's If the shoes are wet, I will not ask the girl to go back with wet shoes and socks in winter."

"Don't worry, girl, I won't be rude to you."

Rong Jin still believed him in this point, after all, Gu Ruzhuo was a person who, even after he was drunk, would always remember not to get too close, so as not to offend him.

Rong Jin was helpless: "It's still far away from Zhilanyuan."

Gu Ruzhuo seemed to be smiling. He was originally a person who seemed to be polite, but actually reserved and silent.But at this moment, there is a tenderness in his voice: "It's not far away at all, I'm willing to carry a girl on my back."

I am willing to go any distance.

Rong Jin lowered his eyelashes and stopped talking.

Gu Ruzhuo's affection for him, in all honesty, he was not unmoved.If he is really the ancient Rong Jin, if he is really a girl, he might really be willing to give it a try.

It's a pity that he is not only a boy, but also a passerby who knows the ending and will leave sooner or later.

"I won't be with you."

Gu Ruzhuo had been secretly rejected by Rong Jin many times, in fact, he should have gotten used to it.He still couldn't help trembling his eyelashes, holding a bit of humble and hopeless hope: "If I study hard and go to the test of fame, won't it still work?"

"You know, it has nothing to do with that."

Of course he knew that Rong Jin was not someone who cared about such things.However, besides holding on to this little hope, what else could he do?

Gu Ruzhuo suddenly asked: "Miss, do you believe that I am sincere?"

Rong Jin didn't understand why Gu Ruzhuo asked, "Huh?"

"Today, Master Lin asked me if I joined Rong's family because of the girl's kindness to me. What he said actually gave me some leeway." Gu Ruzhuo said calmly: "There should be many people who think that I am She's deliberately planning to get involved in the Rong family's marriage, in order to get rid of her slave status, or for the sake of the Rong family's wealth."

When a king and grandson fall in love with a poor girl, it is a deep friendship; but when a poor man pursues a rich lady, it is deliberate.

And he is a slave who is more despised than a pauper.

Who will believe you are sincere except yourself?

Rong Jin didn't hesitate for a moment: "Of course I believe you."

Rong Jin knew that there were many people who cheated into marriages in the name of sincerity for the sake of money and power, and he had seen many such things, but he believed that Gu Ruzhuo was sincere to him.

"If it's for slavery, even if you refuse to marry, I will still help you. If it's for money, you are talented, and sooner or later you will win the Toad Palace, and the marriage of the Rong family is actually your burden."

Gu Ruzhuo smiled wryly: "Young lady has confidence in me."

Even if there was no systematic notification, Rong Jin believed that Gu Ruzhuo would definitely pass the Jinshi examination in the end.Because Gu Ruzhuo really has this material, he is amazingly talented, hardworking, and willing to work hard.It would be unreasonable for such a person to fail the exam.

Rong Jin was a little surprised: "I didn't know you would care about these mediocre gossips."

"I can't help it."

Gu Ruzhuo doesn't care what others think of him, and he also believes that he will one day stand out.But since he likes Rong Jin, he has to take care of Rong Jin.How could he have the heart to call Rong Jin, because after marrying him, people would speculate, pity, and even ridicule him.

Rong Jin was a little worried that he would give up on himself because of his refusal, and also worried that his heart would be distorted because of his damaged self-esteem.This was both because of the task and because he couldn't bear it.He painstakingly persuaded: "Ruzhuo, you are young and talented, and your future is limitless. Why narrow your horizons so narrowly? Whether it's me or those gossips, it's not worth mentioning when you look back in the future."

Gu Ruzhuo understood what he meant, and knew what to say at this time, so that Rong Jin could rest assured.But he was unwilling, and he followed his own mind: "Don't worry, girl. Even if the girl refuses to agree, I will work hard. I won't let the girl be humiliated because of me all the time."

Rong Jin sighed lightly, and stopped trying to persuade him: "Then show me the number one in the exam."

……

In Zhilan Courtyard, Gu Ruzhuo walked towards Rong Jin's study with Rong Jin on his back, but Rong Jin suddenly said, "Go to the bedroom."

Gu Ruzhuo paused slightly, said nothing, and changed direction behind Rong Jin's back.He visited Rong Jin's bedroom once, on the wedding day.

He carefully put Rong Jin on the couch outside, planning to leave.Rong Jin stopped him: "Pack up your things tonight and move here from the small building. I will arrange an adjoining room for you, and the study will be shared with me. It's just a grievance to you. You will have to leave every few days." I slept all night on the couch in the outer room."

Gu Ruzhuo looked at Rong Jin with a complicated expression: "I thought the girl would give up this idea after hearing my obsessive words."

Rong Jin knows that what he should do now is to make a quick decision, draw a clear line with Gu Ruzhuo, tell Gu Ruzhuo to recognize the reality, stop giving him hope, and make him sink deeper and deeper.

But he can't.

Whether it's to maintain Gu Ruzhuo's status in the Rong family, or to conceal his identity as a man, it's inevitable to play tricks on every occasion in the future.

Even, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the unknown enemy in the dark, he and Gu Ruzhuo had to be more intimate than ordinary couples: he still doesn't quite believe that what the official media found today was just a coincidence.

There was a tinge of guilt in Rong Jin's heart.He actually used Gu Ruzhuo for his own sake.

The corners of Gu Ruzhuo's mouth curled up slightly: "Young lady, do you feel pity for me?"

Why did Rong Jin feel something was wrong when he heard this?The vague guilt he had just disappeared disappeared without a trace, and he said coldly, "No. I'm just afraid that the government will come to the door again."

When mentioning this matter, Gu Ruzhuo said seriously: "Young lady, who do you think made the complaint?"

Rong Jin sneered: "I'm not sure if there is such a complaint."

Gu Ruzhuo was taken aback for a moment: "Does the girl know something?"

Rong Jin immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing: "No. What I mean is, if someone really filed a complaint, it must be against you and me."

"Indeed." Gu Ruzhuo nodded: "The Rong family is flourishing and has many children. If this matter is found out, although the reputation will inevitably be damaged, it may not have any impact on the Rong family."

"Only me and the girl have left a criminal record and have a bad reputation. I can no longer take the imperial examination, and the girl can no longer inherit the Rong family." Gu Ruzhuo said softly: "I am just a nobody, even if I really can't take the imperial examination, no one else can take the imperial examination. I won't get any benefits. Nine out of ten are from the Rong family."

Rong Jin thought of the conversation he had heard in the teahouse at the foot of the White Deer Academy that day, and shook his head: "Not necessarily. It may not necessarily be for any benefit, but jealousy is enough. When you go to the academy, pay more attention to the people around you. I will check inside the Rong family."

"In the future, as long as there are people other than Chaoyu Shuangyun, you must pay attention to your behavior and don't be noticed."

Gu Ruzhuo asked softly, "Does the girl feel that there are other people's eyes and ears in the yard?"

"I'm not sure. It's just in case." Rong Jin's expression was condensed: "The person who complained behind the scenes must be found."

If such a person can really be found, maybe this matter is really just a coincidence.If you can't find it, it's not too good.

After Gu Ruzhuo finished speaking, he didn't leave. It was rare for him to be so hesitant.

Rong Jin asked him, "What's wrong?"

Gu Ruzhuo quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Rong Jin's face: "Miss, do you still remember the wooden hairpin I carved?"

"remember."

It's hard to forget such an ugly hairpin.

"Would the girl accept it?" Gu Ruzhuo was clearly selfish, but still found a high-sounding reason: "I mentioned it to the people in the government today. If the girl accepts the hairpin, it will be proof if someone asks again later. .”

Rong Jin was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "Bring it here."

After Gu Ruzhuo left, Shuangyun called out, "Miss."

She just followed all the way, and naturally heard the conversation between Gu Ruzhuo and Rong Jin, and she was very troubled at this moment.

Young Master Gu is really good, and he is sincere when he looks at the girl, so there is nothing wrong with being a young master.But the "girl" in their family is not a girl, but a young master!

Rong Jin knew what Shuang Yun wanted to say, and he was also very tired, so he just waved his hands: "It's okay, I know what's going on."

Shuangyun muttered: "I don't seem to know the girl well."

"Okay, I'm bored enough." Rong Jin straightened his face: "Stop nagging me."
