Chapter 102: It's not enough to say in a few words
Wangjiang Tower on the bank of Qinhuai River.
Lu Li hurriedly ran upstairs, her two pigtails on her head were sticking out. She pushed the door open and shouted: "Miss, Miss..."
In the room, Su Ruyu, who was writing ink, slowly raised her head, looked at the panting Lvli, and said: "You are so big, why are you still so frizzy? I told you..."
Lu Li took a deep breath and said, "Master Du's guard is here and wants to see you."
Su Ruyu's hand paused slightly, and a drop of ink fell on the rice paper. The half-written rice paper was completely scrapped, but she didn't care. Instead, she put down the pen in her hand and placed it on the inkstone. She raised her head with some restraint in her eyes.
He couldn't help being surprised, and asked: "He...did he say what Mr. Du asked him to come to me for?"
"No," Lvli pouted and said, "That stupid big black guy is like a fool. He doesn't say anything when you ask him. He just says that his young master has something to give you."
Lu Li clenched his fists angrily and said, "Miss, do you think Mr. Du knows that you are leaving today and wants to come and say goodbye to you? But, why doesn't he come by himself?"
Su Ruyu stood up, stretched out her index finger and poked Lvli's forehead, and said: "You silly girl, Mr. Du is about to take the exam, how can you have any effort!"
"Hey," Luli grinned and said, "I understand, miss, you just wanted Mr. Du to see you off. Why are you still not leaving even at noon? Tsk, tsk, tsk, finally it's what you've been waiting for, be happy!"
"Smelly girl, you're looking for a beating!"
…………
During the day, Wangjiang Tower was not open for business. Heitou came in through the side door. After entering, he sat downstairs and waited. When he saw Su Ruyu and Lvli coming down, he stood up and walked over.
"Miss Su, my name is Hei Tou, and Du Ruo is my young master." Hei Tou cupped his hands and said.
"I know," Su Ruyu saluted, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Du has to do with the little girl?"
Blackhead took out the pink purse, handed it to Su Ruyu and said, "My young master asked me to return this to you, saying that he really doesn't need it, and he appreciates your kindness."
Looking at the purse handed over by Black Head, Su Ruyu was stunned.
Blackhead scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, a little at a loss. Su Ruyu stood motionless and didn't speak. Blackhead didn't know what he had done wrong, especially when he looked at Su Ruyu's tearful eyes, he didn't know what to do.
What to do.
Seeing his lady like this, Lvli hurriedly took the purse from Heitou and said displeasedly: "Humph, you really don't understand good people's hearts. Go ahead and go as far as you want!"
Heitou was very embarrassed. He didn't know what happened in the middle, why Su Ruyu had such a big reaction, and he didn't want to have any argument with a little girl in Lvli, so he just cupped his hands, said goodbye and left.
Seeing Hei Tou go out, Lu Li held Su Ruyu's hand angrily and said angrily: "Miss, let's ignore this Du Ruo, hum, what's the big deal!"
Su Ruyu wiped the wet corners of her eyes without leaving any trace, and said: "It's okay. I thought too much and had some illusions about what Mr. Du is. How can I reach a higher level?"
"That's not true," Luli said unconvinced: "Miss, it's his blessing that you think highly of him. My young lady is the best, but he's obviously not worthy of it!"
Luli already guessed what happened when he saw the purse. This is a very common phenomenon. If a girl sees the person she likes, she will give her personal items as a gift. This is also the custom of Great Qin.
After all, the girls' families in Da Qin are not as bold and bold as the men, nor can they be compared with the women outside the Great Wall. They just use this more graceful method to express their feelings.
Of course, this cannot be love.
It's just a way of expression, a way to establish communication. Under normal circumstances, unless the image is really bad, there is rarely a direct rejection, regardless of whether there is a possibility of a story happening in the future.
When Lvli saw that Du Ruo had directly sent someone to bring the purse back, he was naturally very angry. This was equivalent to Du Ruo directly saying that he looked down on Su Ruyu and was not even worthy of being friends.
Su Ruyu shook her head, turned around slowly, and said: "No wonder Mr. Du, he didn't return it to me in public, but sent someone to return it to me after so long. He was already taking care of me. It was just my own delusion..."
Su Ruyu choked up as she spoke. She couldn't express her grievances. She really didn't have any other thoughts about Du Ruo. She just felt that Du Ruo's attitude towards her was different from other people's. Moreover, she was also very fond of Du Ruo.
People who appreciate Du Ruo's demeanor want to leave a signal that they can get acquainted with him.
This girl's family has already put in a lot of courage, but now being rejected so mercilessly, you can imagine the grievances in her heart.
Suddenly, Su Ruyu heard Lu Li exclaim in surprise and said: "This Du Ruo is too much. Why is he like this? Fortunately, he is still a scholar. It is really a waste of time to read the books of sages. He...he..."
Lvli was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.
Su Ruyu turned around in surprise and asked: "What...what's wrong?"
"Look, miss," Luli suddenly raised a banknote in his hand and said angrily: "He's gone too far. If you don't want it, don't want it. If you don't like it, just look down on it. Why keep a banknote? It's such an insult.
Is it human? Fortunately, Miss, you said he was different before, he must be more extreme than those people!"
Su Ruyu took a look at the banknote and was suddenly stunned. Her tears instantly stopped. Her eyes that were full of tears just now suddenly became bright and she said in surprise: "Ali, you... found this in your purse?"
"
"That's right," Luli said angrily: "This Du Ruo is really..."
Before Lu Li finished speaking, Su Ruyu suddenly reached out and grabbed her purse. She looked like the sky was clear after the rain. A smile broke out on her face and she said, "Oh, Ah Li, don't say that to Mr. Du, he..."
"What?" Luli said unconvinced: "Miss, this person is so outrageous, I can't say anything anymore. He is obviously..."
"No," Su Ruyu took Lvli's hand and said, "It's not like that, it's... we misunderstood!"
"Misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding?" Lvli asked confused.
Su Ruyu felt a little embarrassed and said: "This... banknote belongs to me, Mr. Du. He... probably didn't mean that. He probably saw the banknote and returned it."
"What?" Luli asked doubtfully, "Miss, what did you say?"
Su Ruyu slowly took out another identical purse from her arms, opened it gently, took out a peace charm from it, and said: "I...I gave it by mistake. No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. These days
There’s no money in the sky…”
The corner of Lvli's mouth twitched,
That's because I made a mistake.
So was it my fault that you were so pretentious just now?
…………
"Master, I feel like Miss Su is very unhappy. His little maid is quite angry and fierce at me!"
The cold wind was blowing outside the window. Du Ruo was leaning against the window holding a book and a writing brush in his hand. Hei Tou was sitting on a stool, poured a cup of tea, and said: "Master, tell me, did I do something wrong?
"
Du Ruo sketched slowly, her ears and temples swayed slightly, she smiled slightly, and said: "I didn't expect that Miss Su is a female classmate, but she is very chivalrous. My kindness in helping her is really a bit wrong.
.”
"Oh, so I didn't do something wrong?"
"Of course not. It seems that Miss Su must be the kind of person who can make many friends in the world." Du Ruo admired him very much: "There are many people in the world who make friends with righteousness in the world, but how many of them are truly righteous and generous?
indivual?"
Blackhead thoughtfully nodded and said, "In that case, Miss Su is really a loyal person!"
Du Ruo smiled softly, put down the pen in his hand, slowly closed the book, spread out a piece of rice paper, started writing with ink, lowered his head, and asked casually: "Heitou, let me ask you a question, what if you die?"
A stranger can get you one hundred taels of silver, will you choose many people to die?"
Blackhead shook his head and said, "No, this is too cruel."
Du Ruo nodded and asked: "If you are about to die, but you can live as long as you kill others, what will you choose?"
Heitou said honestly: "It depends on the person. If it is someone who has nothing to do with me, I will probably kill that person to let myself survive."
"Then who do you think can be called an innocent person?" Du Ruo asked.
"Ah?" Blackhead was stunned, very confused.
Du Ruo nodded and did not continue to ask.
After a while, Du Ruo put down the pen in his hand, stood up, flicked his sleeves, patted his blackheads, and said, "Let's go and eat!"
Blackhead stood up quickly and ran to the front to open the door.
"Bang"
The door was closed from the outside with a soft sound, and a gust of breeze blew in from the window, lifting the rice paper on the table, undulating with the wind like waves, and the words above were faintly visible:
One hundred and two Qin Passes finally belonged to Chu,
Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu.
Du Ruo finally made a choice. He didn't have many choices. This era was still a little different from the world that belonged to him.
He has no bones, no talent, no background,
If you can't even take care of yourself, why bother thinking about the future? Think about the future.
I am so sad that I cannot paint,
Heaven cries endlessly and hates the rain of blood,
God gave it to me, why not?
The senior back then failed in the end because the world was different. It was because the world couldn't tolerate his existence, so he was besieged and killed, and his inheritance was lost.
Now, he Du Ruo is here,
Mr. Du San had the final say in the world of the past life.
