Chapter 15
Or because it snowed hard a few days ago, the sun was shining and the sky was clear for several days.

The official road is spacious and flat, and there is an endless stream of vehicles and horses. Xuegu lifted the curtain and looked at the gradually familiar scenery outside, with a look of nostalgia.

"It's been three years, and I'm finally back."

Li Ru'an looked out the window, all kinds of carriages were full of style, caravans were in groups, pedestrians were dressed in bright clothes, and they were thriving.

"What kind of car is that?" Li Ru'an's gaze fell on a magnificent carriage that was driving beside him. There were rose red lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the pink curtains were half hidden.

"Hey, sister, don't look at it, you don't have to dirty your eyes." Xue Gu said with a disdainful expression.

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows, comprehended, and looked at the ancient float with great interest. Suddenly, a charming-looking woman poked her head out, her hair was slightly messed up, her neckline was slightly open, her bright red face was drunk, and she frowned deeply. Taking a breath, his eyes were full of boredom and alienation.

Facing Li Ru'an's indifferent eyes, she was stunned, lowered her eyes and pulled up her collar, shrunk back, and lowered the curtain.

Li Ru'an was recalling the woman's complex glance, with shock, shame and self-deprecation, and when he finally tightened his collar, there were still tears in the corners of his eyes.

It is still two or three days away from Kyoto, and there are post stations every few tens of miles, and inns and restaurants can be seen at any time, and each one is more magnificent than the other.

At nightfall, the carriage stopped in front of an inn called Nanhe Tower, and the stable boy greeted him with Ma Dunzi in his arms.

"It's not like the countryside here, you remember what I said, behave properly, don't lose face, you know?" Xue Gu put a long hat on Li Ru'an, straightened the corners of her skirt, and said to the other three .

These few days, Xuegu spent a lot of saliva, carefully teaching Ziyan and Alan the tedious and lengthy rules, which made their ears callous.

After getting out of the car, Xuegu rewarded the busy boy with a piece of silver, kept a body distance from the young lady, and walked into the restaurant.

There was a screen of idle clouds next to the stairs, and behind the screen there was a lot of voices, and the noise was unbearable. The neatly dressed waiter bent down and led Li Ru'an upstairs.

"Guest officer upstairs, please!"

Going up to the second floor, the view is wide, the decoration is gorgeous, and it is much quieter. The layout is still a private seat separated by a screen. Seeing that most of them are men or women and children, Xiaoer did not stop and led a few people to a place. It stopped in front of the chrysanthemum room.

The room is not big, but the layout is exquisite. There is a set of pear wood tables and chairs in the center, with chrysanthemum blooms carved on the edge, a chrysanthemum-shaped chandelier hanging on the roof, emitting bright yellow light, two elegant chrysanthemum pictures on the wall, and carved window sills There is also a pot of winter chrysanthemums on the bed, and even the half-drawn curtains are embroidered with pale yellow chrysanthemums. It really is a veritable chrysanthemum room.

Li Ru'an took off her hat, sat down and cleaned her hands. Seeing the four people standing upright with serious expressions, she felt helpless. In this era, there is a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority. In the past, they were all villagers in the countryside, and they supported their own families. Humble, in the past few days, if Xue Gu hadn't started strict control, she would have almost forgotten the tedious rules in the memory of the original body.

Fortunately, she secretly paid for this young lady. If she threw herself into a servant girl, with her temperament, she would probably kill the master in a few days.

After half a cup of tea, the food was served quickly, with all the colors and flavors. Xuegu skillfully prepared the dishes for Li Ru'an, Ziyan and Alan held the tea veil, and the room was silent.

After half a cup of tea, Li Ruan put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands dry, rinsed his mouth and spat it out. After drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea, he and Xuegu went to the guest room on the third floor, leaving the other three to eat.

The room is large and elegantly furnished. There is a four-legged golden toad charcoal stove next to a set of mahogany round tables and chairs in the center. There is a sinking wooden desk under the landscape picture on the left wall. On it, there are inkstones, pens, ink, rice paper, and bamboo slips. On the right is a series of sets next to the wall. The couch next to it is covered with emerald green brocade cotton soft pillows.

Walking into the inner room, there is a low wooden bed on both sides, surrounded by plain blue gauze curtains, the master bed separated by a carved screen in the front, a light dressing table at the head of the bed, and a toffee chair covered with a down blanket at the end of the bed , a pink silk curtain embroidered with blooming flowers, exquisite patterns and sculptures on the bed frame, new and clean bedding, and a small clean room next door.

Zi Yan brought hot tea up, Xue Gu gave detailed instructions before going down to eat, Zi Yan looked serious, poured tea seriously, dug out the clothes, folded them and put them away, made the bed neatly.

"Girl, aren't you tired?" Li Ru'an, who was leaning on the soft seat, said leisurely. He had never seen this girl so diligent before.

Ziyan came over, sat down on the footstool, leaned on Li Ruan's knees, raised her head and said with a smile, "I'm not tired at all, Miss, I used to only think about eating, which was useless, but it's different now, I've learned There are many things, the most important thing is that my aunt said that I can help the young lady in this way, and prevent the people in the house from underestimating the young lady, so I am very happy now!"

Li Ru'an smiled and reached out to touch her head, "Why are you useless? You can make me laugh."

"Hee hee, Miss is good or bad, it's not Zi Yan who teases you, it's obvious that you like teasing Zi Yan."

Li Ru'an didn't want to forcibly change the iron law of time and space. In the 21st century, there is still a great disparity between rich and poor, let alone a feudal society that has been handed down for a long time and the system is already deeply rooted. She has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and With the memories and habits of the original body, it is not difficult to do as the Romans do.

At night, the cold air was overwhelming, and the surroundings were quiet. In the warm small clean room, Li Ruan was soaked in the tub. The slightly high water temperature opened up the pores of her body, and her fatigue disappeared immediately. She closed her eyes and relaxed her body, enjoying the long-lost comfort.

Xuegu pulled her waterfall-like long hair out of the tub, wet it with warm water, took the fenugreek seeds, rubbed it into foam, covered her hair, and gently pressed the scalp with her fingertips.

Standing next to Zi Yan held a small wooden spoon, scooped hot water onto her snow-white fragrant shoulders, and gently drenched her icy arms, and the water flowed down Yu Ning's skin. Seeing her exquisite curves, she blushed and her heart beat with envy.

"Sister, after returning to the mansion, remember to visit the old lady first. Although my sister has never been close to her, if it weren't for the old lady, brother Ren would not have a place in the mansion. Besides, there are not many old people in the mansion. Now, if Lin’s plan fails, there must be follow-up actions, and I don’t know if we will be in any danger when we go back this time.” Beside the toffee chair, Xue Gu wiped Li Ru’an’s half-dried long hair, and said earnestly.

In his memory, the original body was sent away from the back door in a state of embarrassment, and his gaze finally fell on that handsome boy. He stood beside Li Ruyue, with reluctance and a hint of darkness in his clean and clear eyes. Li Ruan recalled that look now, With a slight smile, there are many things that cannot just be seen on the surface.

"Nurse, don't worry, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

"I hope so"

Seeing that she was returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xuegu's worry in her heart became more and more serious. Although the young lady's temperament has changed drastically now, her grandmother is cold, her father is eccentric, her stepmother is vicious, and her sisters are at odds. She only hoped that the empress dowager's golden words could quickly rescue the young lady from this house.

In the middle of the night, it was freezing cold, and everyone had fallen asleep. Li Ruan was in a secret room with a pleasant temperature, staring at the hydrogen peroxide on the cabinet in surprise. Her memory was unmistakable. There were only five bottles at that time, and she took one. , why are there still five bottles now?

Turning her watery eyes, she walked to the jewelry cabinet, where the silver hairpin that Wang Er had pawned was lying quietly in the cabinet.

What is the principle?Time and space confusion?Li Ru'an opened the drawer again, and the few boxes of special western medicines, needle boxes and syringes that she had taken before remained intact. She laughed hoarsely, and once again lamented all the ridiculous things that happened to her.

There were two slight noises from the window, Li Ru'an raised his eyes, and with a thought, he returned to the bed in a blink of an eye, got up, took his coat and put it on, opened the window and looked up.

"Do you like roofs?" Li Ru'an easily climbed onto the roof, walked towards the figure, and asked.

On the vermilion tiles and vermilion eaves, the man standing facing the wind suddenly looked back, his ink hair was fluttering, his clothes were flowing, his handsome face was full of brows and smiles, his appearance was like a dragon and a phoenix, and his spirit was like jade.

"flowery."

Li Ru'an's good mood for looking at the pictures of beautiful men collapsed for a moment, this famous name is too unpleasant.

"How's the injury?"

"It's great to have you take action." Xiao Huan's deep eyes followed the girl, hiding the surging thoughts.

"What do you want from me?" Li Ru'an sat down on the eaves beam, and asked naturally, tilting his head while resting his chin.

Xiao Huan chuckled and sat down, "I can't find you if I have nothing to do, don't forget that we are friends who are friends of gentlemen."

All right, Li Ru'an looked at the bright moon in the sky, thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by friends?"

"A friend is a lifelong confidant. They understand and appreciate each other. When you are in a hurry, someone will give you courage. When you are lost, someone will comfort you. When you fail, someone will give you encouragement. You may not share blessings, but there must be difficulties. .”

The man's deep and magnetic voice spoke eloquently, drifting with the wind in the quiet night.

Li Ru'an was lost in thought, "I didn't have any friends before, not a single one."

"My master said that the stronger a person is, the fewer friends he has around him. He said that a true friend should be refined but not numerous, but I don't have any."

The girl's face had a loneliness that didn't match her age, as if she was the only one left in the vast world, Xiao Huan felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart, and it was painful.

"I'm honored to be your first friend."

Li Ru'an turned his head, met the man's lake-like deep and clear eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Is this considered a friend? Even if we just meet by chance, I don't know the name of the other party?"

"Meet by chance, don't ask why, don't know where it came from, just appreciate the temperament and morality of both parties, respect each other's privacy, be open-minded, don't need to pay too much attention to etiquette and politeness, not humble or demanding, relaxed and natural, that's what you said A friendship between gentlemen, so this can be regarded as a kind of friendship.”

After a long silence, Li Ru'an slowly smiled and stretched out his palm, "Hello, friend."

Under the moonlight, the young girl's complexion is beautiful, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, and she smiles sweetly. Xiao Huan suppressed the enthusiasm surging in his chest, stretched out his hand to hold that slender hand, and smiled brightly.

"your good friend."

 Thank you Liu Yifei for your votes, it is really the biggest help for my code words
