Chapter 91 Fifth update 03
"Master Hou——"
Bao Ruoyou grabbed Huo Weilou. Her slender figure made Huo Weilou stop because she exerted enough strength.
Huo Weilou looked back and asked, "What?"
Bao Ruoyou couldn't laugh or cry, because she was afraid that he would not listen to the advice, so she grabbed him with both hands, "Master Marquis, wait a minute, why did the Marquis take me to the eldest princess's mansion? Do you want to see the eldest princess?"
Huo Weilou laughed, "Why else would I take you there?"
Bao Ruoyou's face turned pale when he heard this, "Why did the Marquis take me to see the eldest princess?"
Huo Weilou was a little confused, "If you haven't seen it before, I will take you to see it."
Bao Ruoyou tried hard to pull Huo Weilou back, but couldn't pull him back, so he began to struggle, "Master Marquis, I... why should I go to see the eldest princess? In what capacity should I go to see her? After meeting Her Royal Highness, she If asked, how should I answer?"
Huo Weilou calmed down and said: "My mother's illness... is not as terrible as you think."
Bao Ruoyou blushed and couldn't help shaking her head, "No, I won't go, I don't want to go-"
The two had been apart for a few days, and Bo Ruoyou had made a lot of thoughts during the two days at the Hou Mansion. However, she never expected that when Huo Weilou came back, he would take her to see the eldest princess. Terrified.
Huo Weilou frowned slightly when he saw the reluctance all over her body, "Don't you want to see what my mother looks like?"
Bao Ruoyou continued to shake his head, and Huo Weilou frowned even more tightly. Seeing her purse her thin lips slightly, not saying anything, but not letting go of her hands. As he always did, Bo Ruoyou felt quite nervous, and for a moment Feeling uneasy and aggrieved in my heart, the blush on my face faded, and I became a little annoyed, "Mr. Marquis, how should I tell Mr. Marquis? You took me to see Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Her Royal Highness must be because of your concern for me. After a great deal of stability, many troubles will inevitably arise. I..."
"I have my heart set on you." Huo Weilou said with deep eyes, "You still don't believe me?"
Bo Ruoyou's heart skipped a beat, "Believe, believe, believe, I believe, but Lord Marquis, when it comes to matters between men and women, the emphasis is on mutual love and willingness. Although you understand your thoughts, you don't care whether I want it or not. You want to bring this matter to light before you ask me, how can it be reasonable? Besides...it's hard for me to be my own master in front of the Marquis, but won't it be even harder for me to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”
Huo Weilou understood and said in a deep voice: "It's not what you think."
Bo Ruoyou shook his head with a grimace: "Then I won't go either. Mr. Hou can't make the decision by himself every time. Where will you put me?"
She struggled hard, and Huo Weilou let go of her hand. The back of her hand was already red from his grip. At this time, she couldn't help but turn to her side and rub her hand. Huo Weilou looked at her and suddenly asked: "What do you mean? This matter should be mutually agreeable. I already like you, but you don’t have me in your heart?"
When Bao Ruoyou heard this, she was ashamed and annoyed. She turned to look at him, only to see that his eyes were dark, but also quite red. Her vision turned black for a moment and she wanted to fall down. How could anyone in the world do such a thing? Her words were so serious. She took a deep breath and turned around with a blush on her cheeks. "When the Marquis asked me, I told the truth. The Marquis cannot blame me."
When Huo Weilou heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but his face was calm, "You say it."
Bao Ruoyou straightened his back and his eyes became firm, "It's not that there is no Marquis in my heart..."
After all, she is no more thick-skinned than Huo Weilou. It takes a lot of effort to say this. Huo Weilou's eyes were slightly bright, but he heard her say: "The Marquis has a high and powerful position. He and I have known each other for several months. I know that the Marquis is diligent in self-cultivation, and I respect and fear the Marquis. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say... I admire you, but in this world, do men and women who admire you have to get married?"
"The Marquis has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and the same applies to me, but this is not what I want. If I marry the Marquis, I will do whatever the Marquis orders me to do, even though others may seem to have great splendor. Thousands of dollars, but I am no different from a maid or a concubine. What I want is neither glory nor wealth, so naturally I don’t want to be so attached to the Marquis."
After saying this, she felt that her palms were dripping with cold sweat. The more Huo Weilou listened, the darker his eyes became. When she finished speaking, his expression made her heartstrings tighten even more. She took half a step back and said, "There are no three matchmakers or six betrothals." He ordered me to pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess, which was even more against the etiquette and law. The Marquis acted like this... I think that the Marquis was not only pleased with me, he also treated me as someone of low status who could be manipulated at will. , If this is the case, what is the difference between me and those people who are flattering and deceiving the Lord? The only difference is that I am more pleasing to the Marquis, and I can be considered useful in errands."
Her face turned red and white at times, and she felt ashamed, annoyed, and uneasy. However, Huo Weilou behaved like this again and again, which was really hard for her to resist. Seeing that Huo Weilou remained silent, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm being presumptuous again. If these words offend the Marquis, the daughter of the people will leave the house and never dare to appear in front of the Marquis again."
Huo Weilou looked at her with a deep look, and Bo Ruoyou felt that his silence was oppressive. Her heart beat faster and faster, and she suddenly felt blessed and walked out. Just when she was about to meet Huo Weilou As she passed by, Huo Weilou grabbed her.
Bo Ruoyou suddenly felt his body tense up, but Huo Weilou sighed at this moment, "That's it."
He turned around and looked at Bo Ruoyou, "Etiquette has never been in my mind, and I don't regard you as someone who can manipulate you at will. If you are not sure, I will make it for you. This can also save a lot of details, because I know that it is impossible for you to have no self in your heart. Instead of dilly-dallying, why not be more decisive and decisive? You entrust your life to me, and I will not let you down."
Bo Ruoyou's face burned when he heard this, and his heart was angry and touched at the same time. He also felt that what he was thinking was very human, "Does the Marquis take this matter...does it mean that he is conquering the city? Plan first and then take the territory." If you move, you will be sure of victory in a matter of seconds?"
Huo Weilou looked at her noncommittally, "Although they are different, they are the same. I can send scouts to capture the city to find out the military situation, but now I am a little unsure about your thoughts. I don't want to force you. But you are different from what I expected."
Bo Ruoyou has never encountered such a difficult situation in her life. Huo Weilou doesn’t know what it is to be reserved, but she has strictly followed the ethics since she was a child. The art of war is not enough. What's more, how can the Marquis let me entrust my life to you? How can I know that I will not betray me? The Marquis's words came out of his mouth. If I didn't know two things about the Marquis, I would have almost killed him. The Marquis regards them as those glib-tongued people."
As he spoke, Bao Ruoyou said helplessly in a low voice: "If I believe anyone who tells me this, then I am too easy to deceive."
Huo Weilou stared at her for a moment, then suddenly sighed and smiled, "Do I make you so distrustful?"
Bao Ruoyou felt aggrieved, "It's not because I don't believe in the Marquis. I am a girl from a good family, but the Marquis doesn't treat me in a good family way. I don't know how the Marquis decided that he could accept my entrustment. What I thought was Different from the Marquis."
Huo Weilou's eyes darkened slightly, "How can I be sure... I still can't understand you? It's because I can understand you that I made my decision. It's not that I don't know where my thoughts are coming from, but I know you and I better. And if I make up my mind, it’s hard for gods and Buddhas to stop me.”
Bo Ruoyou had a look of fear on his face when he heard this. Huo Weilou shook his head and walked back to the couch to sit down. "That's it. If you don't want to go, then you won't go. Come here and talk to me."
Bao Ruoyou turned around and looked at him, still a little uneasy in his heart. Huo Weilou raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows with a headache, "What are you afraid of me doing? Although I want to make this matter simple and neat, but when Did they really force you?"
Bao Ruoyou looked at him carefully for a moment and saw that he was really not angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She had been holding back several words in her heart earlier, and she had not figured out what she was thinking. Now that she had told Huo Weilou, she felt relieved. He was very calm and relaxed, so he walked over two steps and muttered: "Marriage is a lifetime event, how can we do it smoothly?"
Huo Weilou said angrily: "Don't I know?"
Bao Ruoyou said softly and unconvinced: "Since this is the case, we should be cautious. The Marquis is too hasty -"
"I have already been careful."
Huo Wei looks calm and steady on the floor, but deep down he is depressed. Bo Ruoyou said it clearly. Now she admires him a little, but she has no intention of wanting to be his wife, and she is quite concerned about the marriage. If you care too much, you don't have full faith in his heart.
To put it simply, she is not that fond of him yet, and if he wants her heart, she is even less likely to give it to him easily.
Huo Weilou has never experienced such a setback in more than 20 years. What he thought was a sure thing has now been clearly ruined by her. For him, this is simply more uncomfortable than failing to handle business. .
The more Huo Weilou thought about it, the angrier he became. Suddenly he thought of her trip today, so he said, "Don't talk to Lin Zhao anymore in the future."
Bo Ruoyou was stunned, never expecting that the topic would turn to Lin Zhao again, "I...I didn't say much to him. Today he was quite enthusiastic about helping Mr. Wu investigate the case, and he didn't say anything to me either. Just a few words."
Huo Weilou looked at her with a gloomy expression, feeling that nothing Bo Ruoyou did satisfied him, "Do you still want to say a few more words to him?"
Bo Ruoyou was a little confused, "Of course not."
Huo Weilou felt even more annoyed when he thought that he even cared about Lin Zhao, while Bao Ruoyou seemed unable to tell that he was sulking, and only looked at him with hesitation and timidity in his eyes.
Huo Weilou's temples jumped suddenly. He glanced hard at Bo Ruoyou again, suddenly turned around and leaned on the pillow, "Come here and squeeze it for me."
Bao Ruoyou came forward hesitantly. She knew Huo Weilou's old problem. She didn't feel anything when doing it in the past, but now she felt that her hands and feet were a little restricted. When she hesitated, Huo Weilou gritted his teeth and said, "You are the one." Are you here to make me angry?"
Bao Ruoyou still couldn't let go. When she heard his words, she was full of patience, and her tone was inexplicably aggrieved and vicissitudes of life. For a moment, she curled her lips. She stepped forward and placed her hand on his On the forehead, the fingertips slowly exerted force, gentle and delicate, and soon he breathed out.
He closed his eyes, and Bo Ruoyou's eyes fell on his face unscrupulously. Seeing that he rarely showed such annoyance, he smiled more for a moment. At this time, Huo Weilou seemed to notice something was wrong with her breath. , suddenly opened his eyes, seeing a smile on her face, he frowned in disbelief, and immediately wanted to sit up, but Bo Ruoyou held him down, "Master Marquis, don't move."
Her strength was nothing, but Huo Weilou did not move, but he still opened his eyes and looked at Bo Ruoyou's face. At this time, Bo Ruoyou's fingertips came to his eyebrows. , she stroked the wrinkles between his eyebrows: "Master Hou is already very tired from this trip. Don't worry about this now, otherwise it will be my fault."
Huo Weilou closed his eyes and snorted angrily again. Bo Ruoyou rubbed her temples and spoke, "It's not that I don't believe in Mr. Hou, it's just that there are few people in the world with such a strong mind. Mr. Hou is the title of Mr. Hou. With high authority, no one can force you. You also know what you want and what you want to do. Rules and etiquette cannot restrain you, and gods, Buddhas and ghosts cannot stop you. But this is not the case for me. I am just a common sentient being. How can I, an ordinary woman among them, act as wantonly as the Marquis?"
She spoke softly, and Huo Weilou could feel the spring breeze blowing on his face. Bo Ruoyou said again: "Master Hou said that he can understand me. If he can understand me, he should know that I can't ignore you. It’s been decided privately for life, you can’t force me.”
Huo Weilou said nothing, but she could tell that he was listening to her and was not dissatisfied. Bo Ruoyou stopped talking and only massaged him carefully. Soon, Bo Ruoyou could clearly feel that Huo Weilou was Weilou relaxed completely. After a while, she even saw Huo Weilou breathing slightly longer. Her heart moved slightly, "Master Hou?"
She called out, but Huo Weilou didn't even move his eyebrows. She stopped in a hurry. At this time, the sky outside the window was dim, and it was about to get dark. She didn't want to disturb Huo Weilou, and was about to turn around. , but saw that Huo Weilou was not covered with anything, and there was a cloak hanging on the wall in the distance, she thought slightly and walked over.
Taking off the cloak, Bo Ruoyou hesitated again when he walked to the side of the couch. Last time, she kindly covered Huo Weilou with a cloak, but she woke him up and almost killed her. She had no regrets about that night. Still vivid in my mind.
Bao Ruoyou hesitated for a long time before leaning forward again. Her whole body was tense, ready to retreat immediately if Huo Weilou woke up. However, after she covered him tightly with the cloak, Huo Weilou Weilou was still asleep, her high-hanging heart settled down, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Huo Weilou for a moment from a leaning distance, then straightened up and walked outside. When she came out, the lamps were already lit outside. Eunuch Fu was guarding the door and saw her coming out to greet her.
"Eunuch, the Marquis is asleep. If there is nothing urgent, you can let him rest for a while."
Eunuch Fu glanced inward and was a little surprised, "Although I am tired from traveling this time, the Marquis has trouble sleeping. Why did he fall asleep while you were still there?"
This is actually a long story. When Bo Ruoyou saw that it was getting late, he just said goodbye. Eunuch Fu sent her to the door of the house and watched her leave in the carriage before returning to the study and peeking in at the door of the study. Looking around, it was indeed quiet except for Huo Weilou's gentle breathing. Eunuch Fu's face relaxed and he also yawned, and ordered his attendants to watch outside while he went to catch up on his sleep.
It was already dark when Bo Ruoyou returned home, and the lights in the house were warm. Auntie Liang was bringing dinner to the main hall. Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to dinner. When he was drinking tea after the meal, Cheng Yun said: "Youyou, are you going to the Yamen tomorrow?"
Bo Ruoyou thought for a moment, "I'll probably have nothing to do tomorrow, but my adoptive father is going to visit an old friend?"
Cheng Yunzhi responded with a smile, "Yes, then tomorrow morning, you will go with your adoptive father."
Bo Ruoyou responded with a crisp voice, and did not ask who his old friend was. After returning to the room to take a bath and lie down, she remembered the words Huo Weilou said tonight. She was touched. There are many people in this world who are smooth talkers, but But it definitely doesn't include Huo Weilou. For a man as high and aloof as him, if he wants a woman, he won't even bother to coax her with sweet words.
She pulled up the brocade quilt and covered her head and face. She felt the warmth on her face rise again. Thinking about Huo Weilou's depressed appearance later, she felt a little laughable. She was not close to women, did not understand the style, and was unreasonable. He went to see the eldest princess. Will he ask three matchmakers and six beauties to marry her tomorrow?
Bao Ruoyou couldn't help but curl up in the brocade quilt, her heart couldn't help but her mind was urging her to restrain herself. She had been thinking about it for a long time, and she didn't know when she fell asleep. After getting up in the morning, I saw a drizzle of rain outside, and it actually started to rain.
Cheng Yunzhi said he was going to visit an old friend, so he made all the preparations. After breakfast, the father and daughter got into the carriage together with invitations and gifts. The carriage went up the imperial road from Changxingfang and headed to the north of the city. Soon they entered Changshou Square, where there were many dignitaries. Bo Ruoyou opened the curtain and looked all the way, becoming more and more curious.
"Father, who is the old friend you want to visit?"
Cheng Yunzhi said with a normal expression: "You will know soon, you have seen it."
Bo Ruoyou is suspicious. She has not seen many people. After returning to Beijing, she has not been to Uncle Zhongqin's house. Then there is someone from the Yamen. Could it be Sun Zhao?
She was puzzled, but she saw the carriage winding around, and not long after, it stopped in front of a mansion with a tall courtyard. However, before she saw the word "Lin Mansion" on the plaque, she saw the mansion first. The bicycle frame parked in front of the door was one that she was very familiar with after riding on it many times. It was the bicycle frame that Huo Weilou used for daily travel.
At this moment, two more carriages stopped in front of the mansion very quickly. A young man jumped out of the carriage. Bo Ruoyou opened the curtain to see, who was the Bo Yixuan he had just seen yesterday?
