Being watched by the male lead and his brother

After leaving the theater, Ruan Zhu felt a little dazed when he went out.

He didn't know what Lin Suqiu liked about him, but it was probably just a whim and he didn't take it too seriously.

But since this jade token has already been taken, let's keep it, maybe it will be useful in the future.

Ah Hui stared at Ruan Zhu all the way, hesitant to speak.

After returning, Ruan Zhu couldn't help but stopped and turned to look at Ah Hui, and asked, "Just say what you have to say, and you've been staring at me from behind, do you think I can't feel it at all?"

"Master, Ah Hui just doesn't know what to say."

He glanced at Ruan Zhu cautiously, seeing people staring at him, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Young Master, it's better not to get too close to Mr. Lin, I have inquired about some news these two days."

Ruan Zhu became interested. Elder sister had already said part of it before, but listening to Lin Suqiu's words in the background just now, it was obvious that there was still a part hidden.

"Tell me now!"

When Ah Hui saw that Ruan Zhu really wanted to know, he began to speak after considering the words.

"Isn't Mr. Lin from Tianjin City? It is said that he provoked two nobles to be jealous of him. He became so famous that he didn't know how he was sent here. He sang here for less than a month, and now he can Went to sing in our biggest theater here."

Ruan Zhu thought that the things Lin Suqiu pointed out were indeed given by rich or noble people.

"But what's the point? He's just making a living." Everyone said it was a disaster, but isn't it just for making a living that Lin Suqiu has a good figure and a good voice?

Seeing that his young master didn't understand what he meant, Ah Hui said anxiously: "Young master, please don't get too close to him, what if you get caught by someone!"

After finishing speaking, he rejoiced secretly: "Fortunately, this Mr. Lin will move back to the central area of ​​the city tomorrow, so there will be less interaction with the young master."

Ruan Zhu knew that the other party was also doing it for his own good, so he didn't say much, but the jade card in his hand was a little hot, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace a little.

As soon as he put the jade tablet away, Ruan Qingque's voice came from outside the door.

In order to take care of his emotions in the past few days, Ruan Qingque would come here from time to time, sometimes just to talk and sit for a while, and sometimes bring his embroidery to watch him practice calligraphy. Ruan Zhu knew that the Ruan family's business was run by Father Ruan and Ruan Qingque are in charge together.

He was afraid that Ruan Qingque was wasted a lot of time.

Ruan Qingque paused in front of the door for a moment, listening to Ah Hui's brief description of Ruan Zhu's situation today, his expression changed slightly.

After entering the door, he didn't take the initiative to mention it, but smiled and said with emotion: "It's really a coincidence that Young Master Su came here today. He came here specially to give gifts but he didn't see anyone, but Dad is already preparing to return the gifts. If you are free then, let me You go."

Hearing this, Ruan Zhu froze on the spot.

Thinking back to the voice I heard when I left, it turned out that it wasn't me who overheard it, it was really Su Yanqing.

This mistake, he actually missed the chance to meet Su Yanqing.

"Sister, Brother Su is here to give gifts? Is there any happy event in our family?" Ruan Zhu asked cautiously. After all, he didn't know any information about birthdays at all.

Ruan Qingque raised his eyes and glanced at him, sighed softly: "What's the happy event, the Fang family's affairs are not over yet!"

As soon as Ruan Zhu heard about the room, his face turned pale, but he wanted to know about Su Yanqing, his face changed again and again, and finally he frowned and didn't know how to speak.

"You, when did you become so cautious." Ruan Qingque saw all the changes in Ruan Zhu, and couldn't help feeling so emotional.

Ruan Zhu subconsciously tensed up, and smiled, "Maybe it's because I learned to read people's faces when I grow up?"

He is not the Ruan Zhu before, how can he be so unscrupulous.

Ruan Qingque laughed, looked at Ruan Zhuman and said seriously: "You are the young master of the Ruan family, where do you need to look at people's faces in the Ruan family?"

"However, it's fine for you to be like this now. Dad is getting old, and it's good for you to let him go, but you must not look at people's faces everywhere, and you can't afford to lose this person!"

Ruan Zhu nodded, and tentatively said without giving up: "Then why did Big Brother Su give the gift? What kind of gift did he give? My sister said that my father will return the gift, so when will I go to give the gift back, so I will be on call at any time! "

"Everyone has a gift. Ah Hui has already gone to get yours. As for when to return the gift, I don't know." Ruan Qingque stood up and patted the long skirt after saying this, "If it wasn't for Knowing that Su Yanqing is not interested in me, I almost misunderstood that dress!"

She has followed the old rules since she was a child, and wherever she wears new-style cheongsams and western dresses, the Su family will give away some as soon as they are given away, but she doesn't know when she will be able to wear them.

Su Yanqing and sister...

In Ruan Zhu's mind, the image of the two standing together appeared. The gown and the long skirt match quite well, and they are both people who know how to do business, so they should have a lot of common topics.

The more he thought about it, the more bitter he felt, no matter what it seemed, it was better than being with him.

"Azhu! What are you thinking?"

Seeing people in a daze, Ruan Qingque said worriedly, "Why don't we find a foreign doctor to show you?"

She heard that all the foreign doctors in the central area of ​​the city are amazing!

Ruan Zhu shook his head again and again, and explained: "Sister, I'm not sick! I just thought about how you look in a foreign dress, it must be very good-looking, so I got a little fascinated by thinking about it!"

"You, wait for sister to secretly wear it for you to see when she is free, so that you don't get caught by father." Ruan Qingque promised with a smile, Ruan Zhu felt a little sad when she saw it, but it was just a skirt, and she still had to sneak around in the end.

I am used to the freedom of dressing, and it is difficult to accept this cautiousness.

Ruan Qingque came empty-handed, so he didn't stay for too long. He only said that he would come to see Ruan Zhu later, and then left his room.

Ruan Zhu, who was alone, thought of the gift Su Sheng gave him when he left. At that time, he was in a low mood and couldn't figure out why he left Su's house suddenly, so that it was still placed in the innermost part of the bed.

He excitedly climbed up and took out the gift box, not knowing what it contained.

Suddenly Ruan Zhu felt like unpacking the blind box, and before opening it, he thought about what Su Sheng might give him.

But when he really opened it, Ruan Zhu's eyes widened in surprise. He reached out and took out the two photo frames inside, and there was an envelope underneath.

Ruan Zhu made sure again and again that it was the photo he had seen before and carefully put it back before opening the letter and reading it.

"Azhu, the words are as they are. I lent you these photos, and you will return them to me when you come to me later. Don't damage them. Keep them, Asheng."

It is indeed Su Sheng's style...

Ruan Zhu laughed out loud, knowing the preciousness of these photos, he hugged them in his arms and hummed an unknown tune softly.

After the music was over, he put Su Sheng's letter away, and then picked up Su Yanqing's photo.

The young Su Yanqing hugged the infant Su Sheng. This was a memory of their time, and now he holds it in his hands.

Thinking of what Su Sheng once said, Ruan Zhu couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the fate of the Su family. Su Yanqing took on the responsibility of supporting the family when she was young. Later, it finally became clear that Su Sheng also began to grow up, but she ended up like that. end.

If Su Yanqing knew how the little brother she had been protecting was going to die step by step, she would definitely feel distressed and blame herself, right?

But how could he help them?

Ruan Zhu stretched out his fingers to touch Su Yanqing's face, the gloomy look in his eyes made him feel a little cute after a long time, this is Su Yanqing, the person he likes.

Such thoughts flashed by, and Ruan Zhu felt a little hot on his face, spreading like a fire.

He has been avoiding his own thoughts, not daring to admit that he likes Su Yanqing, the feeling is even stronger now after the separation, but facing someone like Su Yanqing, it is hard not to like Su Yanqing, right?

After comforting himself, Ruan Zhu put the photo in his pillow, and he could see it as long as he turned his side.

After changing the previous haze, when I was about to go to the study next door to practice calligraphy, I happened to run into Ah Hui who came back.

I saw him holding a box, which almost covered his upper body, and he was a little staggering when he walked.

Ruan Zhu subconsciously wanted to help, but fortunately, when he was approaching, he came back to his senses, squeezed his fingers and said, "Why don't you ask someone to help you with such a big box?"

Ah Hui responded with a somewhat unsteady voice: "In the past few days, there is no time for repairs in the east. The sisters are weak, so they thought about moving back by themselves."

He rushed into the room in one go, and the sound was very dull when he put it down.

Ruan Zhu followed behind and was curious, what did Su Yanqing prepare for, why are there so many?

"Master, should I open it now?" Ah Hui looked at Ruan Zhu, waiting for the other party's instructions.

However, Ruan Zhu just shook his head and pointed to the corner, "Don't open it yet, just move the box over there."

Although he is also very curious, but now is not a good time to open the box. Anyway, the things are his, so it is better to check slowly by himself at night.

Naturally, Ah Hui didn't ask too many questions, and moved the box to the corner with a gritted teeth.

Seeing that people were tired and panicked, Ruan Zhu thought for a while and said that he wanted to eat lotus flower cakes, and asked someone to guard the kitchen to make them, which gave him time to rest and chat.

He knew Ah Hui's temperament, and he was very familiar with the cooks in the kitchen.

After the people left, Ruan Zhu went to the study according to his original idea, thinking that Ah Hui didn't know how to read, so he wrote the three characters Su Yanqing on the paper. He wrote in simplified characters, which made him feel more comfortable, but less A bit of flavor.

Although it's a pity not to see Su Yanqing, Ruan Zhu believes that this is not the last chance.

Even if there is no chance, he still wants to create opportunities. He doesn't ask for anything else, he just wants to see each other more and help them.

At night, Ruan Zhu ran back to his room after finishing his meal.

Ah Hui was left outside, entered the door by himself and squatted in front of the box, opened the lid with some effort, and let out an exclamation when he saw what was inside.

The things in the big box were packed and put away separately. At a glance, there were everything, including clothes, pens and paper, tea cups and books. The bottom part seemed to be a small box.

Just looking at the outside of the box, Ruan Zhu didn't know what it was. Ruan Zhu took it out curiously. On the surface of the box was a pair of engraved pictures of flowers and birds, with the unique fragrance of trees. He stretched out his hand to open the lid, and the inside was three-dimensional. The most conspicuous thing is a bird with a graceful figure, plump wings and graceful posture.

This is a music box?

Ruan Zhu stretched out his hand and twisted the bird, and when he let go of his hand, there was a pleasant music sound from under the box, as if the bird was singing.

Although Ruan Zhu has seen more beautiful and delicate music boxes, this is not just a music box, it is a music box given to him by Su Yanqing.

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back and began to twist, his voice continued until he was interrupted.

"Azhu?"

Hearing someone's voice, Ruan Zhu trembled in fright, turned around with the music box in his arms, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Ruan Qingque, "Sister, you scared me."

Ruan Qingque saw something in the person's arms, and said with a smile: "Where is it that I scare you, it is clear that you are scaring yourself, and you can scare yourself in the room? Unless you are doing something unseen. "

Ruan Zhu subconsciously hugged the invisible thing in his arms, and stood up silently, but the numbness from his legs immediately made him wrinkle his facial features, it was so uncomfortable!

"You child!" Ruan Qingque stepped forward to support him, walked to Xiaota's place and sat down step by step, his eyes swept over the box, and he instantly understood what Ruan Zhu was doing. I really like Azhu, look at the things in this big box.

Ruan Zhu put the music box aside, stretched out his hands and rubbed his legs, and asked, "Sister, what's the matter with me? It's not too early now."

He knew that Ruan Qingque was the most rule-abiding and would never take the initiative to break, so he was sure that the other party had something to say.

Sure enough, Ruan Qingque rubbed his legs while helping him and said: "Today I suddenly forgot, as Young Master Su said, he has been busy with business matters recently, so please go and take a look at the house at home when you are free." Young master, there are probably half of the thank you gifts in this big box."

Ruan Zhu knew that the other party had seen the things in the box, so he simply became more frank, and nodded in agreement with the other party's words, "Sister is right, the young master of the Su family is naughty, it takes a lot of effort to stare at him, no Who can do this with a little thank you!"

"Short hands and soft mouth, you can just mess around!" Ruan Qingque didn't know Ruan Zhu's careful thinking, it was obvious that he played very well with the young master, so he couldn't help but sighed: "Ah Zhu also grows up!" When you grow up, if daddy doesn't always say that you are not in good health, you should have let me take care of business with me."

Being told about this, Ruan Zhu smiled awkwardly and did not respond. The architecture he studied has nothing to do with business, and this is a business that he has been looking back for many years. He knows that the price has already been worked hard.

Seeing that people stopped talking, Ruan Qingque sighed a little disappointed. She still hoped that Ruan Zhu could think about the family business, which would also make her feel at ease.

But since Ruan Zhu didn't want to take over, she wouldn't force him, so she stood up and patted her sleeves, "Okay, I've brought the words too, you can find out when you are free, if you want to go out, you have to let Ah Follow back, don't worry about running around alone."

"I know." Ruan Zhu replied softly, got up and sent Ruan Qingque to the door.

Ah Hui also took the opportunity to ask about the time for washing, and only after he got a consent did he ask for the water to be brought quickly.

Ruan Zhu stepped forward and put the music box back. He wanted to put all the things Su Yanqing sent together and read the same thing every day, so that he would feel that time passed quickly.

Before going to bed, he took a look at the photo and closed his eyes in satisfaction.

In the early morning, the chirping of birds woke Ruan Zhu up.

He stood up and found that he had not slept so peacefully for a long time, and even his spirit was much better.

After washing up early in the morning, I went to the main courtyard. This was the first time I went to greet Master Ruan early after I came back.

Before stepping on the threshold, Ruan Zhu still had a smile on his face, but after entering, the smile froze on his face.

He finally remembered that there were three women sitting beside his father. Seeing Ruan Zhu coming in, Master Ruan was taken aback for a moment, and then waved him awkwardly to let him go.

"Azhu got up really early today."

Although Ruan Zhu knew that Mr. Ruan had a concubine, it was the first time he ran into her today, and he didn't know how to react for a while. The former Ruan Zhu probably hated these women very much, right?

"Father, I'm here to greet you."

He stepped forward, not knowing how to face it, so he simply pretended not to see it, but when he got closer, he was inevitably attracted by a snow-white calf for a few seconds, thinking that such an old-fashioned person like Master Ruan actually wore clothes in his concubine's room. Woman in cheongsam.

Master Ruan was very relieved, and said with emotion: "Your elder sister has a way, look at your energy now, but I heard that the pillars of the theater have left, if you are in a hurry, you might as well listen to Sufang open her voice .”

Sufang?

Ruan Zhu didn't know who it was, but since he had said that, he just nodded.

Who would have thought that after such a nod, he followed someone to the other courtyard in a daze, and arrived at a room decorated in western style. The swinging big clock made him a little dazed.

"Young Master likes this clock?" A woman's whispering voice sounded, causing Ruan Zhu to subconsciously raise her eyes to look, and then she saw the other person's face clearly. She was afraid of something taboo before, so she didn't dare to take a second look.

The woman has a pair of affectionate autumn eyes and a melon-seeded face, which is a lovely appearance.

Ruan Zhu shook his head, "I just feel that something is different here."

Qin Sufang didn't care, she just held a folding fan in her hand and asked, "Which song do you want to hear, young master?"

"Ah?" Ruan Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he disliked what Ruan's father said, and quickly waved his hands: "You don't have to do this, I just don't know how to reject my father, at worst I'll just sit here and leave later. "

Hearing this, Qin Sufang withdrew her gesture in surprise, "The young master is different from what I heard, this is the first time I have come into contact with the young master after I have been here for so long."

She took one young master at a time, even humbler than Ah Hui, hearing Ruan Zhu's discomfort, she asked, "Would you like to sit down?"

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to sit down, as if he was specially invited to coax him.

Qin Sufang lowered her eyes and suddenly laughed softly, stepped forward and sat on the other side of Ruan Zhu, and said to herself: "I heard that the young master went to listen to Mr. Lin's play, I also heard it earlier, At that time, I just felt ashamed, whether it was singing or being a human being."

be human?

Ruan Zhu heard something in the other party's words, thinking about Lin Suqiu whom he met that day, he was inevitably curious and concerned, and asked following the other party's words: "What do you mean?"

Qin Sufang sighed softly, and said with a smile: "Naturally, he lives in the world, and he is also a singer. Mr. Lin can walk among the nobles. Even if he got into a big disaster this time, he will only be sent to a small place to sing for a month. , When I go back to the central area of ​​the city, I will still be glamorous, but I am different, if I want to live glamorously, I can only be a concubine."

These words sounded full of sarcasm, but Ruan Zhu couldn't feel it when he looked at the eyes of the person in front of him, only a faint envy and endless loneliness, as if he had seen his life come to an end at a glance.

Walking among nobles?

The appearance of Lin Suqiu flashed in his mind, and he said softly: "Everyone has their own way of life, are you doing well now?"

Qin Sufang raised her eyes in surprise, and looked at Ruan Zhu with a serious look. She couldn't keep the smile on her face, and finally withdrew it slowly, muttering: "That's right, isn't life much better than before?"

Ruan Zhu raised his eyes and got up to say goodbye after seeing that it was almost time. After all, this was an accident in itself.

Unexpectedly, when seeing off, Qin Sufang said: "If the young master likes it, I will sing it to the young master next time."

The sudden words made Ruan Zhu frowned lightly, but he didn't expose the other party's lies in front of others, he nodded hurriedly and followed Ah Hui back.

On the way, he was guessing what the other party meant at the end. He didn't want to have anything to do with the other party. They were two people who had nothing to do with each other. Why should they get together abruptly?

He thought carefully, and couldn't help slowing down his pace, like a stroll in the garden.

Ah Hui, who was on the side, stepped forward thoughtfully at this moment, and asked, "Master, are you worried about what the fourth wife said just now? If you want to say that the master loves you the most, you are the young master. As long as you don't want to, no one can force you not to."

In the past, his words were just side reminders, but since Ruan Zhu became gentle, he has become much more courageous.

"It's true." Ruan Zhu echoed softly, probably because he had nothing to do, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace a lot.

After that day, Ruan Zhu had some taboos about getting up early, and every time he asked clearly in advance before going in, as long as there was someone around Ruan's father, he would never go in, just to avoid unnecessary contact.

After a few days like this, Ruan Zhu was planning to take some time to go to the Su's house to find Su Sheng, but unexpectedly the invitation disrupted the plan.

The invitation was sent by Fang's family. Apart from the invitation, there was also a gift, which was said to be specially for Master Ruan.

Ruan Zhu didn't see the gift, so he just read the invitation again to celebrate the housewarming. The Fang family has moved out of their previous residence and found a new place to live, and the location will definitely not be too far away.

"Is Daddy going?" The invitations were delivered to the home with a gift. If you don't go, it will be a bit embarrassing.

Although he hated Fang Zhixing, he didn't want to offend the Fang family because of himself.

Master Ruan lifted his eyelids and glanced at Ruan Zhu, coughed lightly and said, "Then let you go with me?"

"Together?" Ruan Zhu didn't think about it, his face froze, and he didn't know how to answer. If he was asked if he would like to see Fang Zhixing, then he would definitely not, but the other party's question obviously wanted to He meant to follow along.

Just when he was struggling, Ruan Qingque said, "I heard that the Fang family invited all the famous people mentioned. The Su family should be on the invitation list, right?"

Su Yanqing?

Hearing these three words, Ruan Zhu's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "Okay, if father needs it, son will certainly not refuse!"
