As for when the carriage arrived in the town, it was already midnight, and the sky was so dark that it seemed as if it was swallowing up the houses, carriages, and horses. Only the snow beads around the lights were illuminated, floating with teeth and claws.
It was already past the curfew and the city gates were not open, so the group had no choice but to find an inn to stay for the time being.
Following the dim lights, the group stepped into the inn.
The shopkeeper wiped the ornaments in his hands slowly and leisurely, and asked without raising his head, "Sir, would you rather stay in the hotel?"
"One night," Wen Zhi turned around and nodded to the servant, "Four rooms. Are these enough?" He placed two ingots of silver on them.
The shopkeeper glanced up and changed his expression, "That's enough, that's enough."
He then glanced around the group of people in front of him, thought to himself for a while, and then glanced at the waiter next to him. The waiter understood and hurriedly walked away. The shopkeeper personally led a few people upstairs, "Everyone
Follow me." Naturally, the one who went here was the head room.
The wooden steps under your feet creaked loudly, making you wonder if you would fall down out of thin air.
When he arrived at the door, he worriedly warned, "No matter what noise you hear at night, don't open the door, if you don't want to cause trouble."
"But refugees?" Ruan Yuyi cried before, her voice sounding a little muffled.
The shopkeeper nodded, "Now that the girl knows it, I think she will be more careful, so I can rest assured."
Not long after he came downstairs, another waiter knocked open Ruan Yuyi's room. The waiter was holding a tray with clothes folded on it. Mu Xiang touched it and found that it was made of brocade.
I guess it was the shopkeeper's order. All of these businessmen have become refined. The clothes I had prepared before were indeed lost together with the green carriage. It is impossible to find out when she will get up tomorrow morning. No matter how appropriate it is to give it to her at this time.
but.
Mu Xiang gave the reward, took the clothes, and walked inside, calling, "Miss."
Ruan Yuyi was very sleepy at the moment. She was dazed and put the soaked handkerchief on her face, not forgetting to hum in response to her. Muxiang sighed and took the handkerchief.
She didn't put on makeup yesterday, she just needed a little wash.
Mu Xiang threw the handkerchief into the copper basin and walked out with the copper basin. She met Jiang Huaiyang head-on. He was standing outside the door, almost hidden in the darkness, which startled Mu Xiang.
She bowed and saluted, "Sir."
"Have you, madam, gone to bed?" His voice came from above her head.
Maybe just when she came out, the young lady had already fallen on the bed. But Mu Xiang naturally couldn't say that. He rolled his eyes to the side hesitantly, paused for a moment, and then said, "Just keep your voice down when you go in."
.”
Only the people around Ruan Yuyi dare to ask a monarch like this.
Jiang Huaiyang didn't say anything, but responded, pushing the door open and entering very lightly.
When he entered, the young lady pulled back the quilt and got in, with her black hair scattered in front of and behind her. Seeing the way she looked up at him, she could hardly open her eyes.
Also, if it was normal, she should have stopped by now. It was really a torment for her.
He came closer and pushed her long hair to one side for her, with a complicated look on her face. In fact, she was not very similar to her brother. I am afraid one followed her father and the other her mother. But looking at it now, these eyes alone were so similar that they seemed to be the same pair.
.
Ruan Yuyi didn't know what he was thinking, so she turned around and said, "Husband, these refugees are invading the people here, and the people in the city are very frightened. It is not an option to continue like this."
She spoke in a light and airy way, she was clearly talking to him about serious matters, but it sounded like a coquettish tone.
He couldn't hold back and pinched her cheek, "Well, I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it anymore." These days, she always prepares snacks and fruits in her small kitchen, and at A-Qing's house, she always prepares snacks and fruits.
Her belly had not been wronged, and the flesh on her cheeks had really grown back a little.
After hearing his promise, she finally felt at ease and turned to go to bed.
He hugged her from behind and whispered, "You have a good relationship with your brother?"
"Well," she responded in a sullen voice, "Although we are only half a decade apart, my brother has always been very supportive of me."
"How could he join the army?" He brushed the black hair from the back of her head, revealing a section of the back of her neck that was as white as fine suet jade.
She took a deep breath and said, "My brother used to be very good at his studies, but later the private school was also dismantled."
Perhaps it was to become the leader of the family earlier, perhaps it was to earn some fame and clear her father's name. In short, Ruan Zhuoying joined the army without hesitation. From then on, she only had correspondence with her family.
He remained silent, and when he was about to say something, the young lady turned around, stretched out a hand to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice, "I'm so sleepy, let's talk tomorrow."
The hand covering his lips was warm. He suppressed his distracted thoughts and took her hand, "Well, I'm too noisy. Let's go to sleep."
A night of silence.
.
Because they were really tired yesterday, they both went to bed late this morning, and no one dared to disturb them.
For some reason, there was a sudden noise outside, with cries, shouts from waiters, and the sound of banging tables and chairs all mixed together. Before Ruan Yuyi could open her eyes, she frowned, and after a while her eyelashes trembled and she opened them.
Jiang Huaiyang was already awake at this moment, but last night she fell asleep with her pillow on his arm. He was afraid of pulling away and disturbing her, so he had to keep his hand numb.
She finally woke up, and seeing her rubbing her eyes felt soft, so she was not in a hurry to move.
She also realized that there was a soft object under her head, and the tips of her ears were slightly red. She silently took his hand off for him, pressed it for a while, and then said, "Husband, what is happening outside?"
He stayed in the house the whole time and didn't know it. He just thought it was someone coming to cause trouble.
"There's no rush," he said, "I've finished washing up. If you're interested, it's not too late to go and have a look."
So, she didn't ask any more questions.
When Mu Xiang came in with a basin, her expression was a little gloomy. Ruan Yuyi asked, "Is there a lot of trouble outside?"
She placed the water basin on a shelf on the side, soaked a handkerchief in the water, and replied, "They are a group of beggar-like people, men, women, old and young. I am afraid that all the tables and chairs will be smashed by now."
Hearing what she said, a thought flashed through Ruan Yuyi's mind.
After finishing dressing up and dressing up, Jiang Huaiyang sent Wen Zhi to stop her and said, "Madam, it's better not to go out. It's very messy, so I don't want to hurt you."
"Where is your master?" He had just gone to the next room to freshen up, but was not with her. The man was dressed lightly, and he would have been fine by now.
Wen Zhi pursed his lower lip and remained silent.
Seeing him like this, she knew something was wrong with Jiang Huaiyang.
The door to her room was half-open, letting in a cold light. The movement outside gradually died down.
She turned back and walked inside. She was about to call Mu Xiang to find some breakfast, but she felt a little restless. After hesitation, she finally opened the door and went out.
