The second story of the ancient sword II

The elegant brocade sleeves in the center of the arena fluttered past the eyes of the spectators, and the bright red and wide skirt was turned into red waves by the slender dancer, arousing the dandies in the audience to compete to throw gold and silver to the smiling bustard .

"Ouch—" A man, holding a flagon in his hand, staggered towards the field and bumped into Yi Ze's shoulder unknowingly.Already drunk, the luxurious ribbon on his head restlessly passed from the towering hair crown to the front, hanging floatingly on his somewhat handsome but slightly older face.

"It's you—" Yingying stared at each other, and said in unison, a cold light flashed in the canthus of one eye, and the other dodged a little.Passing by each other, the man with the jug sobered up instantly. Looking at Yi Ze's back as he walked towards the bustard, his mind was full of doubts, Li Yan would also come to this place of fireworks...

That was Li Xian, and Yi Ze also thought that he would come to this place of fireworks.Then, Ah Ruan...

"Call all the girls here!" Yi Ze handed over a purse, and the bustard opened it, and her eyes immediately glowed with gold.

Not long after, Yingying and Yanyan of all colors were called out.Yi Ze glanced over, without Ah Ruan, how could he be in...

Under Li Xian's dazed gaze, Yi turned and went out.Finding a secret place, he turned around and jumped, turned into the backyard of Wanhualou, deftly avoided the sight of the servants, and entered the inner courtyard to search.Even the secret room in the basement where the newly recruited girl is hidden has been carefully searched, but there is no sign of Ah Ruan.If they didn't find it, it was good news, and Yi breathed a sigh of relief.Just after leaving the Wanhua Building, he stepped out and touched a black, fluffy, soft thing. He leaned over and saw that it was Ari!

"Why is Ari here?" Yi Ze hugged Ari, his eyes were already starved from hunger.

"Where is Ah Ruan? Lost?" Yi asked.

"Meow—" Ari replied softly, and Yi immediately understood that it was also looking for Aruan.

"I think Ah Ruan should not go far around." Seeing Ah Li's listless look, Yi Ze realized that he hadn't eaten much all day.

A thick embroidered purple curtain hangs straight from the dome of the Chinese house, and a bright candle is burning in the copper crane lamp.Gong'e on both sides stood quietly, maintaining a dignified demeanor.Li Xian walked in through the smooth steps.A thick female voice came from behind the curtain, "Why does Xian'er come to concubine mother at such a late hour. You all go down."

"Nuo..." The maids bowed and stepped back slowly.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..." The First Prince Li Xian walked in, "I saw Li Yan in Wanhualou..."

"Oh? What's the matter?!" Concubine Xian responded calmly, "Xian'er, listen to my concubine's words and be your own prince in peace. It's useless to think about other things..."

"But, I'm not reconciled!" Li Xian clenched his fists tightly.

"What is there not to be reconciled to?" Concubine Xian still maintained a dignified demeanor, "In terms of power, you are not as good as the second child. The second child was born in the main palace, and my grandfather was the biggest leader of the Fan Kingdom in my dynasty; in terms of talent and martial arts, you are not as good as The third child. Your grandfather is just a civil servant. Although he has made some contributions to the court, the mother and concubine have to think about the safety of the entire family...I will not let your grandfather get involved in this useless dispute..."

"..." Li Xian was slightly annoyed by his mother's words, and scenes from his childhood emerged one after another.No matter how hard I try, my father will always praise my younger brother more.The words used on him are always cowardly and dull.

"You go back, don't do what he thinks. If there is a chance in the future, it's not too late to make plans." Concubine Xian got up and walked towards the inner hall mercilessly, feeling a dull pain in her heart. Can he understand his mother's heart?

The evening wind brought a few red clouds, and there were a few stars that poked out their heads early in the blue sky.The proprietress of Baoyuntang stretched her waist and came out of the inner room, thinking in her heart that the first month is a good time to make money, and now is not the time to sleep.As soon as he looked up and saw all the customers in the store, he couldn't help being happy, and then looked at A Ruan who was lying there sleeping, and his anger suddenly surged up.He turned his head and gave the boy beside him a look.

"Miss A Ruan, Miss A Ruan!" The servant shook A Ruan who fell asleep at his desk.

"... Get up and work? Uh... okay..." Ah Ruan raised his head in a daze.

In the restaurant, Ari was full soon, and then jumped on Yi Ze's body to scratch his hands from time to time.

"I really miss Ah Ruan, don't you? Me too." Yi Ze touched Ah Li's head, "Let's go find it."

As soon as he went out, Ah Li began to sniff around hard, searching for Ah Ruan's smell.Yi followed closely behind it, for fear of missing every woman who passed by him.

In Baoyun Hall, Ah Ruan was asked to sit in the shop and embroider with the embroiderer, and she nodded her head from time to time due to her deep tiredness.If someone wants to make ready-made clothes, the proprietress will ask Ah Ruan to measure the size; if a noble lady comes to buy clothes, Ah Ruan will naturally become a natural hanger.The business is really good, the proprietress smiled from ear to ear and kept saying hello.

"Ms. Ruan, come and take the measurement for Young Master Zhang of Taiwei's Mansion." The proprietress held a soft ruler and motioned for Ah Ruan to come over.

Ah Ruan reluctantly put down the needle in his hand, and walked over unsteadily.The moment he took the tape measure, his mind suddenly cleared up. It was the first time for Ah Ruan to measure the size of another man. He was a little hesitant and nervously took the tape measure.Xiaohong who was at the side woke up from a sleepless night, looked sullen at the scene in front of her, yelled twice restlessly, and Ah Ruan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.In order to learn some skills, and to make a pair of shoes for Yi Ze, I can be regarded as self-sufficient, so I will go all out!Ah Ruan cheered herself up in her heart, closed her eyes, and started measuring with a soft ruler.

When it reached her waist, Ah Ruan made a gesture of hugging Mr. Zhang, and he was looking at her face with lewd eyes, salivating.

"Girl, you are so beautiful, Xiaosheng is lucky, I wonder if the girl would like to drink tea at the house?" Mr. Zhang took the opportunity to strike up a conversation.

"No." Ah Ruan refused straight away, and the movements of his hands slowed down, "I will go home soon, and my family is still waiting for me."

"Then how can I reject Xiaosheng's good intentions..." Mr. Zhang stretched out his hand to hug A Ruan's slender waist, and his wide palm moved on A Ruan's back.

"Let go, let me go!" Ah Ruan blushed immediately, feeling sick in his heart.Struggling, Nai He couldn't shake the opponent's strength by half.

"Gu, girl, come with me..." Mr. Zhang said incoherently, intoxicated.

"Stop!" Suddenly a sharp male voice descended from the sky!Shocked, Ah Ruan opened his eyes wide and looked around.It turned out that a tall and handsome man appeared in front of her, his powerful big hands were grabbing Mr. Zhang's hand around Ah Ruan's waist, and he lifted it high.

"You you you... who are you?" Mr. Zhang was frightened, and the gorgeous hair crown on his head was a little crooked.

"You—how can you just ignore the actions of such a wretched person?! Is this how the store treats weak women who don't know the world?! If the reputation is damaged, can the proprietress be responsible?!" The man turned to the proprietress His face was livid.

"Well, I don't know what ability this master has to talk to me like this? Who are you? Do you want to be a hero to save the beauty? She still owes me money!" The proprietress did not show any weakness.

"Well, this young master...thank you very much." Ah Ruan said in a low voice, and at the same time blessed Fushen, "I don't have money to buy things, so I'm here to learn crafts and work part-time..."

"That's right, she's a small worker here, so what's wrong with measuring the size for the master? Just mind your own business!" Mr. Zhang at the side heard what A Ruan said, raised his head and climbed up with arrogance again, "I'm from the Taiwei's Mansion. My eldest son, where did you come from?!"

The man stopped talking, his resolute face was expressionless, and he took out a token from his waist neatly.

"Huss, hussars, big, big general?" Mr. Zhang stuttered suddenly, and then he understood in his heart that the person in front of him was Kong Yelei, the son of Kong Shangshu, and he was the general of the hussars.

"What? Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, are you right?" The proprietress immediately panicked, she knew very well in her heart that these two masters are gods who are not easy to offend.So he hurriedly said with a smile, "Miss Ruan, what are you talking about? I didn't treat you badly, did I? I take care of your food and drink, but I just order you to do some small work. Are the two young masters here to buy clothes? I have For the best goods, the women will definitely choose the best for the sons! Ahhhhhh..."

"Are you... Huss, cavalry, general, army? Other than him, no one else has done anything to me...don't embarrass them." Ah Ruan turned to look at the partners behind him who were working together, and looked at Kong Yelei His eyes were full of begging.

"This..." Kong Yelei just complained at first, and didn't pay attention to the appearance of the petite woman beside him.When Ah Ruan looked at him with expectant eyes, his heart trembled, as if his heart suddenly became abnormally soft, as if it would melt with a light touch.He didn't know what it was like, he had never felt so big before.Thinking that they were taking advantage of the girl's beauty, Kong Yelei's anger flared up again when he turned his head to look at Mr. Zhang with a proud face and the boss's wife full of power.He knew that he couldn't say those oblique words; even if he said it, his dull character would definitely not be able to explain them.

"Follow me!" Kong Yelei grabbed A Ruan's wrist, trying to pull her away arrogantly. "I'll take you to buy it elsewhere!"

"Ah?" Ah Ruan didn't react for a while, and he was already tightly held by him, "No, no! You...you let me go!"

Kong Yelei didn't intend to let go, his strength was terrifying.

"Ah—Yi...Yi Ze?" A man in a hurry broke into the shop suddenly.Not paying attention to the situation ahead, Kong Yelei and A Ruan bumped into Yi Ze's body together.
