Chapter 22

Chu Jinyu nodded, with a relaxed expression on his face, and took a sip of the tea in front of him.

"Recently, my body is getting weaker and weaker. Some things I have the heart to do now, but I am unable to do them. Xing Feng has been outstanding recently and has been relied on a lot. Judging from the current situation, abdication is a foregone conclusion. Before I give up, you... ..." The middle-aged man glanced at Chu Jinyu, "Do you have plans to..."

"No." Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Chu Jinyu directly refused. He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man with a smile on his lips, "I'm fine now, and I don't want to change anything."

"You have been smart since you were a child, why are you so stubborn about this matter!" The middle-aged man said a little angrily, "Do you know that if I really go down, everything about you will be implicated, no one can protect you anymore, you want to continue the old way life is just wishful thinking."

"Then let's talk about it when that moment really comes..." The smile on Chu Jinyu's face was still so calm, unaffected by the middle-aged man's mood swings.

"You... hey!" The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "You, it's really a matter of decision, and no one can influence you." A glance at Bu Youran, who was devouring himself.

At first, Bu Youran wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation openly, but the two of them seemed to have discussed it, and the content of the words was very cryptic, which made her more confused the more she listened, so she stopped guessing randomly, and started to eat what was already in front of her. Prepared meals.

The two of them stopped continuing this topic, and chatted about what clothing materials are popular recently, what food is most liked by everyone, what jewelry is popular among young people, and even talked about the seasoning of cooking, which is really related to the food of ordinary people. I talked about wearing it all over again.

When he was about to leave, Bu Youran had already fallen asleep unsightly on the ground...

It's just that I don't know how long I've been asleep. When Bu Youran woke up, it was already dark outside. She looked at the two men embarrassedly. I'm afraid they have already started the second round...

When he was leaving, the middle-aged man stood at the inner door of the private room. He looked at Bu Youran and smiled kindly, "I didn't even have a gift when we met for the first time. I have a jade pendant with me here to give you. If there is a chance, I will give you another compensation."

Bu Youran immediately waved her hands, "No, no, you're too polite, I'm just a servant..."

The middle-aged man turned his gaze to Chu Jinyu again.

Chu Jinyu smiled, "Take it."

"Ah?" Bu Youran didn't react, "Oh".If I refuse again, I am afraid that it will be considered hypocritical, so I will not give up.

The middle-aged man took out two banknotes from his sleeve, "Yu'er, take these and use them first, you will be old soon, you can buy what you need to buy, and the rest will be discussed after the New Year."

Chu Jinyu nodded and took it without any rejection, let alone a word of thanks.

……

The oil lamp was burning inside the carriage, the dim light and the rhythmic squeaking of the wheels made people drowsy.

Chu Jinyu was half lying on his side, with a fluffy blanket on his legs, his face turned pale under the light, probably because he was too tired.

Bu Youran had gotten enough sleep during the day, but now she was very energetic. She opened the corner of the car curtain and looked out. She didn't seem to know the way very well, so she turned back to look inside the car, "appreciating" Chu Jinyu's sleeping face...

Speaking of which, he was even more charming when he was sleeping than when he was awake. Although the pair of narrow peach blossom eyes were closed, the beautiful arc and the long and dense eyelashes like brushes made people think about it, and the corners of his lips did not smile. But Alice, with a sickly glamorous color, fair skin so smooth that not a single pore can be seen, even Bu Youran, who is a woman, is envious of it, and... a trace of hatred...

Chu Jinyu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes as dark as a deep pool stared straight at Bu Youran's face, who was only an inch away from him.

Bu Youran was a little embarrassed for a while, she didn't expect Chu Jinyu to open his eyes suddenly, he was obviously breathing evenly, and he looked like he was fast asleep, who would have thought...

Hey!
Get caught!
"I... I just want to take a book!" Bu Youran picked up a book from his side, pretending to read with her head down, trying to cover up her guilty conscience.

For a long time, nothing happened.

Bu Youran raised her head secretly, and she saw that Chu Jinyu was also picking up a book to read, and she was not at all affected by the situation just now.Bu Youran thought, yes, after all, he has already experienced many battles, and he has long been used to it. It is an indisputable fact that he looks good. Even if she is a little familiar with him, she will be attracted by his appearance once in a while. It's normal.

Thinking of this, Bu Youran felt relaxed.

……

Back at the mansion, the drum of the first watch had just been beaten, and the mansion was as quiet as when we left during the day, there was not even a servant.It can be seen that none of them came back.

Thinking that she slept too much during the day and couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning at night, Bu Youran simply picked up the five books Song Yiping gave her and probably flipped through them.

Well, it was really hit by Chu Jinyu.

She, a dignified graduate student, can't understand!
Although the book is a casual book, the language is too classical, and it even involves some military affairs.

Song Yiping also overestimated her!

No, then Chu Jinyu looked down on her too much, didn't she?How can you conclude that she must not understand even if you don't know her true cultural level?

……

In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve.

On this day, the streets of the entire capital city are clean, a road is smooth, and every household stays in their own homes, putting on window grilles, wearing new clothes, and preparing dinner for dinner. The aroma of the fire, the children set off small fireworks and firecrackers at the door of their house, and the crowd is so lively.

The Song Mansion is also preparing for the New Year. From morning to nightfall, the servants in the mansion are not idle for a moment. Just like the modern New Year gathering with relatives, various upper-class mansions also walk around each other, sending some good New Year gifts.Master Song served as a minister in the court, and he was a second-rank minister. There were so many people who wanted to curry favor, it could be said that he received gifts softly, and those servants also took care of the annual gifts all day long, and they didn't stop until night.

On New Year's Eve, all the people in the Song Mansion gathered in the main room to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner and watch the New Year together. Except for Chu Jinyu, he was not in good health and could not stay up late. In addition, the weather was cold this day and he was suffering from cold illness. So Song Madam sent someone to bring him the meal to his room to eat alone.
