    Looking at the back of Lu Zhiyao leaving, Li Ruoshui was a little surprised.

    She thought that these things would be rejected all the way, but she didn't expect him to agree so simply.

    "My younger brother and sister still call me Young Master Zheng, it's really a bit of a life."

    A slightly smiling voice recalled Li Ruoshui's thoughts. She looked at the handsome man in front of her and smiled.

    "Big brother."

    This is Zheng Yanqing's eldest brother, Zheng Yanmu.

    In Li Ruoshui's impression, this person did not appear in the book, but because the original book was too long, she jumped and read a lot, so she was not sure if she forgot him.

    Zheng Yanmu was wearing a dark green robe and a crown on his head. He was six points similar to Zheng Yanqing, but his temperament was much more mature than Zheng Yanqing, and he looked a little deeper than him.

    The two servants led the way with lanterns in hand. She and Zheng Yanmu walked side by side, slightly embarrassed.

    After all, she is not the real daughter-in-law of the Zheng family.

    "Not long ago, I was doing business abroad. I didn't have time to attend the wedding banquet between you and the third brother. I feel a little guilty."

    Li Ruoshui shook his head and politely replied, "Big brother is joking."

    Help! She really doesn't want to chat awkwardly with people she doesn't know! Especially if this person is an elder!

    "Don't be so nervous, I don't eat people."

    Zheng Yanmu couldn't help laughing when she saw her restrained appearance, and took a brocade box from the servant behind her.

    "This is my new wedding to you, and I express my heart."

    The mahogany brocade box is carved with peonies, and the box has a faint aroma, which seems to know how precious the contents are.

    Li Ruoshui looked at this gift and felt a little tricky.

    She and Zheng Yanqing are fake marriages, the contract has been written, and now what's the matter with accepting such a precious gift.

    "Brother, go to Dongyuan with me. Zheng Yanqing must be here at this moment. It might be better to leave it to him."

    "Take it, it will make me feel more comfortable."

    Zheng Yanmu sighed slightly, shoved the brocade box into her hand, and gave her a few more books.

    "No one can bother him to read the books. We can see them at breakfast tomorrow. I will ask my younger brothers and sisters to hand them over to him."

    Li Ruoshui hugged the brocade box and book, but could not refuse, so he had to take it with a smile.

    Leave it all to Zheng Yanqing. Anyway, it's all his family's things, and he will handle it.

    "Speaking of which, I don't seem to know where my younger brother and sister are from."

    Coincidentally, she didn't know where this "Li Ruoshui" was from.

    "People from all corners of the world have no father or mother, and they are all home."

    "I'm sorry." Zheng Yanmu opened her eyes slightly and looked at her, and seemed a little remorseful: "I'm talking too much, and I actually mentioned some inappropriate words."

    "Nothing." Li Ruoshui held something and shook his head with a smile.

    The boy in front was holding a lantern, and occasionally a few moths came from the darkness and collided with the lampshade, but there was no way to enter, so they had to climb on the lampshade.

    The large wing shadow was projected onto the ground, and the tentacles wriggled, looking terrifying.

    The little servant hurriedly patted it on the ground, glanced back at the two of them, and breathed a sigh of relief.

    Zheng Yanmu didn't look at it, raised his foot to run over the moth's body, and asked with a smile.

    "I heard that the third brother's health has improved a lot recently, and his cough is not as bad as usual. It seems that Chongxi is still useful, thanks to the younger brother and sister."

    Li Ruoshui smiled again: "It's the doctor's credit, so I won't take the credit."

    The Zheng residence is really too big, and Dongyuan is really too biased. She has already accelerated her pace, but there is still a distance.

    "I heard that my younger brother and sister and friends caught the ghost who often came to the house before. It's really admirable. You can discuss with me if you have time."

    "There will be time."

    As we all know, this sentence means there is no next time.

    Zheng Yanmu paused and continued: "I wonder if my younger brother and sister might tell me about that night. I have been in business all the year round, and I am inevitably curious about these things."

    The memories of that night were not very good, and Li Ruoshui was also unfamiliar with him.

    "It's a long story, why don't you find a time to talk about it next time... I'm in Dongyuan, do you want to go in and sit?"

    Li Ruoshui stood in front of the courtyard gate and looked at Zheng Yanmu with a smile.

    He looked up at the plaque on the courtyard door, then shook his head: "I won't disturb you, you rest early."

    "Okay, big brother."

    Zheng Yanmu nodded to her, and then took a group of people to the northwest.

    Along the way, it seems that tonight, except in the direction of Dongyuan, in the Zheng residence, lights are lit everywhere under the eaves, so it must be a banquet for the wind.

    "Zheng Yanqing is miserable, no one calls you when there is a banquet at home."

    Li Ruoshui looked at the backs of them leaving, and muttered to himself while holding two gifts.

    She didn't like this Zheng Yanmu very much, his smile and words made her uncomfortable.

    Also wearing a mask, Lu Zhi wears it much better than him.

    This person seemed to care about his younger brother, but he asked about trivial matters. He said he felt guilty for the two of them, but at the beginning, he gave her the gift and let her hold it all the way.

    Talking around, don't know what want to get out of her.

    In comparison, Zheng Yanqing, who only wears a mask of pain, is much cuter than him.

    Li Ruoshui walked into Dongyuan with something in his arms, knocked on the door with his arm, and saw Zheng Yanqing who was concentrating on reading travel notes.

    "Why do you hold so many things?"

    Zheng Yanqing hurriedly put down the book and came forward to take the books and the brocade box.

    "Your brother gave it to you."

    Li Ruoshui sat on a chair, his hands shaking while pouring tea.

    She was already very tired from walking behind her back, and she had to walk for such a long distance with her things in her arms. Now she is just lucky that her muscles are trembling.

    When Zheng Yanqing heard the words, the hands that were picking up the book stopped, his fingers clasped the book cover unconsciously, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

    "When did my big brother come back?"

    Li Ruoshui looked at him and sighed: "I just came back, and your family is hosting a banquet for him."

    Zheng Yanqing sat on the stool in a daze, staring at the carpet in a daze.

    "I thought you didn't care about your family."

    Li Ruoshui massaged his arms and began to mourn for his sore muscles tomorrow.

    "My eldest brother is the only person in the family who supports me in not being an official. I only care about him in this family."

    Zheng Yanqing looked at the book on the table in confusion and sighed long.

    "Last time you said that I don't have the ability to be independent. I thought about it for a long time, and it seems that I really can't find a livelihood."

    Li Ruoshui was washing aside, and his answer was a little vague.

    "It really doesn't work. You can be a guide for others, and you can make money, travel in the mountains, and write travel notes, can't you?"

    Like Daigo, Zheng Yanqing's eyes brightened when he looked at Li Ruoshui.

    "Guide?"

    Li Ruoshui didn't have the energy to deal with him anymore. She washed up, put down the curtain, and got into the quilt.

    "As long as the mind doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

    She has been able to live by Lu Kao to this day, thanks to this truth.

    "Master Lu, pay attention to the threshold and be careful to fall."

    The little servant reminded him and led Lu Chi to the side room.

    Lu Zhi usually carries a blind stick, but he never takes it with Li Ruoshui, so he walks with caution.

    There are many people in the side room, Mrs. Zheng, Master Zheng, and a few servant girls. These people are watching the road that walked in together.

    Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng looked at each other and sighed silently.

    Not to mention this young master Lu's outstanding appearance and strong force, his temperament is also rare and gentle, and they are very satisfied.

    But the only dissatisfaction is the eyes.

    How can they rest assured that their daughter is with a blind man, and they don't know if their future children will also contract eye diseases.

    "Master Lu, please take a seat." Master Zheng said, "I invited you to come today, mainly to thank you for helping my family Yanqing a few days ago. I hope the son won't feel abrupt."

    Lu Zhizhi smiled unhurriedly, and said warmly, "Hands up."

    Master Zheng gave Madam Zheng a wink, and the two exchanged for a while because he could not see.

    "Don't go around in circles anymore." Madam Zheng cleared her throat and said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested in someone?"

    "no."

    Lu Zhiyao answered without any hesitation.

    Mrs. Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and a few fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

    "Then, what do you think about my daughter?"

    Lu Zhiyao had a smile on his lips, and the side of his face was illuminated by the warm orange candlelight, showing a bit of warmth and softness.

    "Sorry, who is your daughter?"

    Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces gradually subsided.

    Could it be that their daughter is so hot that they don't even know each other?

    The maid standing beside her couldn't help but glanced at the screen, and took a step back silently.

    "It's me, Zheng Mei. It's not the first time we've met."

    Hearing this, Zheng Mei couldn't hold back any longer, she took the corner of her skirt and came out from behind the screen and walked directly in front of him.

    "I'm not going around, I like you. Would you like to join my Zheng residence and be my son-in-law."

    Zheng Mei has learned to do business since she was a child, and she often deals with strangers. She has a straightforward temperament and does not like to be a little daughter.

    If Li Ruoshui was here, he would definitely look at Zheng Mei with great admiration and applaud her.

    It doesn't matter whether you are in the family or not, the main thing is to learn this courage and confidence from her.

    "I don't want to." Lu Zhiyao took care of the beads on his wrist, his expression unchanged.

    He thought that something interesting would happen here, but he didn't expect it to be such a boring thing.

    Lu Zhiyao stood up and bowed back: "Thank you for your love and farewell."

    Zheng Mei has always been arrogant, she stepped in front of him without caring about his rejection.

    "You can think about it again, join my Zheng family, you can buy anything you want, and I can also spend money to help you treat your eyes, which is beneficial and harmless."

    Lu Zhiyao chuckled lightly, took a step forward, and said warmly.

    "Are you stopping me?"

    The smile was still the same smile, compassion, tenderness, and even her eyes were closed, but it still gave her a chill that sent a chill down her spine.

    Zheng Mei subconsciously gave in a step.

    "Let's talk about the marriage and marriage. You and I will go to the lake tomorrow."

    Before Lu Zhiyao refused, she followed up and said, "I can grant you a request."

    Lu Zhiyao turned the ice-cold Buddha beads on his wrist, and a smile appeared on his lips.

    "Can."

    Zheng Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Zheng was also smiling.

    "Master Lu, we have a banquet tonight, so come with us..."

    "No need."

    Lu Zhiyao bowed slightly to them and left.

    Zheng Mei once again forgot the fear just now, looked at the back of Lu Zhizhi leaving with satisfaction, and began to think about the clothes to wear tomorrow.

    However, the guards should bring more.

    "The road is far away, the road is far away..."

    There seemed to be a few calls from the darkness, the voice was clear and clean, and he recognized it as soon as he heard it.

    But there was only darkness in front of him, and even if he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything.

    What did Li Ruoshui ask him to do?

    The sound of footsteps came from far to near, mixed with the sound of ding bells, but it didn't make people feel noisy, just angry.

    He seemed to be sitting in the courtyard, with the breeze blowing around him, the rustling of leaves, and the constant chirping of cicadas.

    Is it summer?

    "Look what I bought."

    The man ran to him and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, with a strong lychee fragrance, which smelled sweet and moist.

    "Buy lychees again?"

    He heard his own voice, mixed with helplessness and other emotions, which had a meaning that he couldn't understand at all.

    Is this him?

    "The season is almost over. If you don't eat it now, you won't be able to eat it in the future."

    The sound of peeling shells came from the side of the ear, and a lot of juice splashed on his side face and eyelashes, and it was so itchy that he couldn't help blinking lightly.

    Then heard her smirk, the cool fingertips touched the side face and eyes, and the sweet juice was wiped away by her.

    "I'll stay away from you."

    The bell rang again beside him, jingling non-stop, a tone he was completely unfamiliar with.

    Li Ruoshui seemed to be sitting on the stone table, and the faint scent of lychees floated in front of him.

    The crisp bell sound suddenly landed on his lap after she sat down, and was jingled by the wind.

    Lu Zhiyao's brows twitched slightly, and he reached for the bell sound, touching her slender ankles and the cold anklets on them.

    There are not only bells on it, but also his white jade beads.

    The sun is hot and the cicadas are annoying.

    Lu Zhiyao let go of his hand, his voice was dry.

    "what is this."

    "The anklet you made." The bell rang again, and the sweet lychee fragrance slowly stopped in front of him.

    "Why."

    Her voice sounded helpless.

    "Isn't that what you asked for?"

    The cicada's chirping suddenly increased, awakening him from the lost road. He sat on the bed and was silent for a long time.

    He seemed to still be able to smell the sweet fragrance, hear the bell, and the touch of her stepping on his leg.

    Lu Zhiyao sat quietly on the bed, the moonlight slowly climbed from his wrist, brushed the Buddha beads on his wrist, and shone into his half-open eyes.

    There was moonlight in those misty eyes, which was shockingly beautiful.

    Lu Zhiyao unconsciously held the Buddha beads on his wrist, puzzled in his heart.

    What is he praying for?
