Chapter 12 Chapter 12

The next morning, Ling Juyan came again with a downcast face.

And mercilessly dragged the reluctant Ruan Gumo up from the bed.

Ruan Gumo complained unsatisfiedly when he dreamed of nephrite jade and Wenxiang: "What are you doing?"

When Ling Juyan was very troublesome, he followed the principle that I was troublesome and you should not go too well anyway, and pretended not to hear.

Fortunately, Ling Juyan didn't ask any questions, does he love me, do I love him, what should we do?

Ruan Gumo was allowed to doze off drowsily at the table, even recalling his sweet dreams with a smile on his face.

It wasn't until after lunch that Ling Juyan seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, which made Ruan Gumo think that Ling Juyan just came here for lunch to find a reasonable reason that couldn't be thrown out.

Ling Juyan looked at Ruan Gumo with piercing eyes, and said every word with respect: "From now on, I hope you will cherish it."

That's right, Ruan Gumo rolled his eyes in the air, is he going to die of old age and never see each other again?

Ling Juyan also knew that his tone was a bit exaggerated, but his mood was really like this.

"I just hope that you don't make the same mistakes as I did."

Ruan Gumo was silent.

After a moment of silence, Ling Juyan looked at the deep regret in his eyes, and asked weakly.

"What you said about Cui Yuanbao..."

Ling Juyan sighed: "Didn't I give it to you?"

"I don't know where I threw it." Ruan Gumo curled his lips.

"Since you are curious, you might as well ask him yourself. What you hear from other people's mouths is a story after all, and there will be deviations."

Ruan Gumo pondered for a long time, until Ling Juyan also fell into his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, finally came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'll go find him."

"treasure."

The two looked at each other and smiled, the tacit understanding that grew up together, naturally there is no need to announce it.

From now on, I hope you cherish it.

Ruan Gumo guarded the place where Cui Yuanbao was working nervously, dodging carefully for fear of being discovered by Cui Yuanbao.

He really didn't have the courage to ask.

Until Cui Yuanbao had dinner with everyone and walked back to the hut alone, he still followed Cui Yuanbao, not knowing how to speak.

Seeing that Cui Yuanbao was about to push the door open, Ruan Gumo was really anxious. He stepped forward quickly and pulled back the door that Cui Yuanbao had pushed open.

Cui Yuanbao raised his head in confusion, and saw Ruan Gumo grinning: "Young master."

Ruan Gumo, who was laughing, was inexplicably distracted, and he didn't even know that he was holding Cui Yuanbao in his arms.

"Young master, do you need me?"

"I..." Facing Cui Yuanbao's question, Ruan Gumo hesitated to speak, wanted to say, but couldn't say it, and suddenly understood Ling Juyan's mood when he was talking to him. A topic that can be spoken.

"What's wrong, young master? What's the matter?"

Seeing Ruan Gumo's tangled face, Cui Yuanbao asked understandingly.

"I..."

"Young master, have you heard other people's gossip?"

Facing Ruan Gumo's excuse of wanting to panic, but he didn't know where to start, Cui Yuanbao understood it, and smiled lightly: "It's okay, when I just came out of Hualiu Lane, I listened to even the most unpleasant words been."

Ruan Gumo's heart felt pinched for a moment, he never thought that Cui Yuanbao could speak in such a calm tone.

Cui Yuanbao hid from Ruan Gumo's arms, and stood under the eaves, his gaze could not hide his sadness when he looked up.

"His name is Luo Wen, and he is my childhood sweetheart."

Ruan Gumo opened his mouth wide, and was surprised to hear Cui Yuanbao's story.

Cui Yuanbao had a childhood sweetheart named Luo Wen since he was a child, and the Luo family has been poor and talented for generations.

Luo Wen has been smart since he was a child, he was tired of seeing the poverty of his family, and he was even more tired of his father's pedantic and mother's cowardice, all he could think about was how to become a master by any means.

Later, Luo Wen discovered that the imperial examination was probably the cheapest path, at least he could get to know a few children from wealthy families.

Later, the parents of the Luo family passed away one by one, and no one was in the mood to scold Luo Wen for not being right.

That year in the provincial examination, Luo Wen passed the examination as a scholar, and Cui Yuanbao was really happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

But the next year was Chunwei, Luo Wen didn't have any money to go to Beijing, so he coaxed Cui Yuanbao to give him all the money.

But the money is still far from enough.

Looking at the pitiful amount of money that Cui Yuanbao offered, Luo Wen frowned and remained silent.

Cui Yuanbao couldn't bear to see Luo Wenyi's embarrassed look, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and sold himself to a brothel to become a petty official.

Because selling Hualiu Lane, you can get a price that is three times higher than other places.

Cui Yuanbao smiled and said: "You go to Beijing for the scientific examination. If you pass the examination, don't forget to come back and redeem me."

Luo Wen naturally agreed with his vows.

"If I were in high school, it would be very autumn, and eight big horses would definitely take you to Beijing."

Cui Yuanbao grinned and nodded in response: "Okay."

When Cui Yuanbao's family heard the news, they hated Luo Wen.At this moment, Luo Wen had already gone to Beijing to rush for the exam with all his money.

Naturally, he couldn't find it. Cui Yuanbao's family cursed him countless times.

The old bustard in Hualiu Lane was naturally unwilling to let him go. She took a fancy to Cui Yuanbao's appearance, so she must be a cash cow.Now that the tree has not yet grown leaves, it is really impossible for her to let go.

The Cui family was in a hurry, but they couldn't.

But Cui Yuanbao happily waited from autumn to winter, and Luo Wen did not come back.

I heard from people from other towns who went to Beijing to rush for the exam that Luo Wen passed the palace exam, but after that, I don't know what happened to Luo Wen.

Cui Yuanbao couldn't laugh. The Spring Festival that winter was the most difficult Spring Festival Cui Yuanbao had endured so far.

If there are no other changes in life, it will be the most difficult in life.

How did the winter come here?Cui Yuanbao tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled lightly, he had forgotten it long ago.

Fortunately, later, the old bustard of Biyue Pavilion went to Ling's house to file a complaint.

The Ling family didn't say anything, but sent soldiers to block the entrance of Hualiu Lane.

Since the Ling family was determined, no matter how many times Hualiuxiang sent people to discuss with them, they avoided them all. The old bustard in Hualiuxiang simply opened his mouth and asked the Cui family for an astronomical sum.

But even if it is an astronomical figure, Cui Yuanbao cannot be allowed to rot in the quagmire.

Cui Yuanbao's family sold all their ancestral land and ancestral house, and borrowed everything they could, so they could barely get together.

When Cui Yuanbao was taken out of Hualiu Lane, Cui Yuanbao didn't know how much he had paid.

It was later discovered that in order to pick him up, not only did he have no family property, but he was heavily in debt.

Seeing that his parents, siblings and siblings could only live in the ruined temple, Cui Yuanbao froze in place. Even though winter was over and his eyes were full of spring, the ruined temple was still indescribably damp, cold and dilapidated.

A few parcels are all the belongings.

In an instant, like five thunderclaps, Cui Yuanbao clearly realized what he had done, and felt that he was a sinner.

That day, Cui Yuanbao knelt down for his parents and siblings in the ruined temple. Cui's parents did not dissuade them, but they wept and sighed secretly. Cui Yuanbao knelt on his feet all night.

At dawn the next day, Cui Yuanbao couldn't stand up, and it was his elder brother who helped him up.From that moment on, Cui Yuanbao seemed to have regained his vitality, and he actually loved money even more than before.

In the past, he only loved money for Luo Wen's expenses, but now he only loves money for himself.

Ruan Gumo suddenly felt a little wronged and distressed in his heart, and he grabbed his clothes tightly, with an indescribable depression lingering in his heart, no matter how much he sighed, he couldn't relieve it.

"If, if Luo Wen comes back..." Ruan Gumo was entangled in his heart, not daring to ask, "What do you want?"

Cui Yuanbao laughed lightly: "I never thought about it."

"You should want him back very much, right?"

"I..." Cui Yuanbao was silent for a while, and when he raised his head again, the tears flickering in his eyes could not be ignored: "I thought about it at first, but then I didn't think about it, and after that, I just wanted him to be well."

"Then what if he really comes back?"

Facing Ruan Gumo's persevering questioning, Cui Yuanbao didn't feel bored. He had never mentioned Luo Wen to anyone, and he kept shouting something in his heart. Now that he could finally say something, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"I hated him, hated why he didn't come back, let me lose face and suffer. In fact, when I was busy enduring hardships, I felt that he was a good thing, or I was too tired to remember." Cui Yuanbao's mouth cornered A faint smile appeared: "Later, I felt that it was not important anymore. In fact, the so-called love and hate are not so important."

Hearing Cui Yuanbao mention another man, Ruan Gumo felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable for sure.

"But you can't live like this forever." Ruan Gumo muttered.

"What are you afraid of?" Cui Yuanbao smiled brightly, as if nothing had happened: "Of course I can't drag others down. I only hope that my sister can marry the person she likes, and nothing else matters."

"But you should..." Ruan Gumo seemed to complain: "You should have other thoughts."

"Of course I have." Cui Yuanbao looked at Ruan Gumo and smiled: "I want to donate a small official, but it's not a small official, it's good to be a small official."

"I'll help you." Ruan Gumo hurriedly responded.

Cui Yuanbao pursed his lips and smiled: "I have taken a lot of monthly money for nothing, and I feel very ashamed, so there is really no need to bother the young master."

"but I..."

"I have always been grateful to the previous owner of the restaurant, and I didn't repay it." Cui Yuanbao interrupted Ruan Gumo, and continued: "It's not that he treats me very well, but if I take in the guests, after passing I ordered more, and he would pay me extra. I am naturally grateful.”

Cui Yuanbao's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Ruan Gumo, subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch Ruan Gumo's face, but stopped his hand in time.

Can't help but smile awkwardly at Ruan Gumo, with a bit of shame.

Ruan Gumo was so flustered by the laughter, all his thoughts and thoughts were thrown away, and he couldn't remember any more.

The author has something to say:

I'm really afraid of writing about Luo Wen, he's not a bad person, he's just bad luck.

I'm even more afraid that his influence is too bad, and the influence Yuanbao is not cute enough.
