Chapter 353: Flirting with the Wife
The second snowfall in the capital lasted for several days, and the entire Dudu Mansion was covered with snow.
Baoshu rolled around in the snow with her little wolf cub.
Bai Yuwei had never seen snow before, so she had a snowball fight with Tan'er, Banxia and the others.
Meng Qianqian was sitting in the pavilion making tea and looking at them from time to time.
This time last year, she was at the Lu family.
She couldn't remember exactly what day Lu Lingxiao came back from the border.
I just remember that it was also after such a heavy snowfall.
She stepped on the thick snow, braved the biting cold wind, and stood at the door to see her nominal husband, but she met another woman.
At that time, her memory had not yet awakened, and she did not know that her great revenge had not been avenged, so she planned to live a good life as Meng Qianqian.
Sometimes she also wonders, what would have happened if Lu Lingxiao had not brought Lin Wan'er back?
Will she and Lu Lingxiao become a real couple?
"I'm in a daze again."
Someone's cold voice sounded above her head, and Meng Qianqian returned to consciousness. Looking at the man in front of her who had walked and fought side by side with her, she instantly had the answer.
Regardless of Lin Waner or not, and regardless of Lu Lingxiao's betrayal, she and Lu Lingxiao would never become a real couple.
Uh-huh!
A snow dumpling flew towards the pavilion.
Lu Yuan reached out to pick it up.
Meng Qianqian had quick eyes and quick hands. She held the table with one hand and spun Feiyan. While kicking the snow ball away, she also dragged Lu Yuan behind her.
Lu Yuan's face darkened.
"Xiaobai, you are causing trouble!"
"I...I didn't mean it...Who asked you to hide? Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"We're fine, you just have fun."
After Meng Qianqian answered Bai Yuwei, she said to Lu Yuan, "My little sister didn't mean it. She's not angry."
Lu Yuan said coldly: "Is this governor angry because of this? How many times do I have to tell you? Don't always stand in front of me!"
Meng Qianqian: "You're welcome."
Lu Yuan: "Meng Xiaojiu!"
"I'm worried that you'll be covered in snow." Meng Qianqian looked at the snowflakes on the ground, then turned around to check on him, "Is it covered in snow?"
Searching carefully for scattered snowflakes, her green-white fingertips brushed against his chest inadvertently.
Lu Yuan coughed lightly and said calmly: "My neck seems a little cold."
"Let me see!"
Meng Qianqian stood on tiptoes, hooked her fingertips on the collar of his shirt, and leaned close to him to look into his collar.
Her hair gently rubbed against his cheek, and her breath fell shallowly into the crook of his neck.
His Adam's apple slipped.
Meng Qianqian wiped him with a handkerchief: "Is it here?"
Lu Yuan said without changing his expression: "It seems, a little further down."
Meng Qianqian opened his collar further, brought his face closer, and her nose was filled with his body temperature and breath.
"Here?"
"More, go down."
"Where? If you go down further, you have to take off your clothes..."
Just in the middle of speaking, Meng Qianqian paused, stood on her toes, and looked at him seriously, "Grand Governor!"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You have to ask."
Meng Qianqian threw the handkerchief into his arms.
Lu Yan caught the handkerchief and glared at her: "Meng Xiaojiu, are you getting more and more courageous, do you dare to embarrass me?"
"Uncle, the carriage is ready!"
Brother Wu quickly walked up to the pavilion and saw Meng Qianqian also there. He was surprised and said, "Miss, are you going to pick up the young master as well?"
Meng Qianqian was stunned: "Pick up my cousin?"
Brother Wu said: "Yes, the Imperial College will have a holiday tomorrow."
Meng Qianqian felt embarrassed for a while, as she had forgotten such an important thing.
Brother Wu saw what was going on and couldn't help but laugh: "Miss, my uncle has remembered everything about you. If you don't know, you would think that your young cousin is my uncle's cousin."
Meng Qianqian smiled.
-
Imperial College.
The last class today is the exam.
After Yu Li finished, he handed in the paper. Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to a nearby study first and buy some conversation books for the old lady.
He picked for half an hour and only settled on one book.
After paying the money and coming out, the snow was still falling.
He walked quickly towards the Imperial Academy, and when passing by a small alley, he collided with a cart rushing out.
Yu Li fell to the ground, and at the same time, he heard an old man's scream: "Ouch—"
Yu Li's expression changed, and he hurriedly stood up, ignoring his own pain, and helped the fallen old man up.
"I'm sorry, old man, did it hurt you? Are you injured anywhere? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
The other party is an old man in his sixties.
The old man held his waist, waved his hands with difficulty, and said with unbearable pain: "It's not in the way, blame me for not looking at the road, this young man, did you soil your clothes?"
"I'm fine." Yu Li saw that he was wearing shabby clothes, with patches all over his body, and holes in his shoes, so he knew that he was a poor man.
His eyes fell on the other party's cart again, where there were four baskets covered by straw mats.
"Old man, what's your business?"
he asked.
The old man said: "I am a charcoal seller."
Yu Li opened the straw mat and found that the basket was full of charcoal.
The old man held his painful waist and sighed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it today."
Yu Li felt a little guilty in his heart: "Old man, I bought all your charcoal."
"ah…"
The old man looked at Yuli in disbelief. Yu Li opened his purse, took out two ingots of silver and handed them to him: "Are these enough? If not, please wait for me for a while. My family will come to pick me up soon, and I will ask them to pay you."
"I can't do it! I can't do it!"
The old man pushed the money to Yu Li, "Sir, you look like a child from a wealthy family, so he must not be used to such black coal. Today I didn't look at you, so you are merciful by not arguing with me. How dare I accept the young master’s money?”
Yu Li said seriously: "Old man, just accept it."
"this…"
The old man couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to accept it, "Master, where do you live, I will send you the charcoal. But I'm afraid it won't work today, I can't walk. If you don't mind, I will send my wife to you tomorrow." Send it to the young master’s house.”
Yu Li frowned: "My wife?"
The old man smiled bitterly: "Well, my son froze to death last year, and my wife and I are the only ones left at home."
Yuli had a pure heart, and when he saw the old man in such miserable condition, he couldn't help but feel pity.
"Old man, where do you live? I'll take you back."

"How does this work?"
"Your Majesty! Old man, sit down!"
"No..."
Yuli helped the old man onto the charcoal cart.
On the other side, Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan arrived at the Imperial College.
"I'll go call Master Ciao."
After Brother Wu parked the carriage, he took the token from the Governor's Palace and entered the Imperial Academy to look for the person.
Not long after, Brother Wu returned to the carriage alone: "I just met Young Master Lin. Young Master Lin said that Young Master Biao left half an hour ago."
"Isn't get out of class just over?"
"The last class is an exam, and Master Biao handed in the papers in advance."
Lu Yuan said: "Go to the study opposite and ask."
"Um?"
Meng Qianqian looked at him puzzled.
Lu Yuan said: "Yu Li often goes there to buy story books for his great-grandmother."
Meng Qianqian: "How come you know everything?"
Lu Yuan said lazily: "I am smart."
Brother Wu smiled and said, "My uncle is very concerned about the affairs of my great-grandmother and my young cousin."
Lu Yuan tapped his fingertips on his leg.
Later, I asked Manager Cen to give Brother Wu a monthly salary increase.
Brother Wu went to the study to find out that Yu Li had indeed been here just now, bought two books and left.
As for where he went, the shopkeeper of the study had no idea.
He's open for business, so he can't keep an eye on his customers' whereabouts.
"My cousin doesn't look like someone who wanders around."
After Meng Qianqian finished speaking, she thought of something and suddenly felt a little unsure. She asked Lu Yuan, "Can he hang out?"
Lu Yuan knows his cousin better than he does!
Lu Yuan stared and said, "No, you wait for me in the carriage."
Meng Qianqian's expression paused, then she stood up and said, "Let's go together."
The two went to the study.
Lu Yuan asked Yu Li the title of the book he bought.
Today is a holiday for the Imperial College, and the number of guests in the study has doubled compared to usual. The snow is full of mottled footprints, and they can be seen everywhere.
However, Lu Yuan just glanced at it and walked to an alley to the east.
There were ruts at the entrance of the alley and charcoal mixed with snowflakes.
Lu Yuan dug out a copy of "The Fairy Tale of Mountains and Seas" from the snowdrift in the alley, which was one of the storybooks Yu Li bought.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes, and the scene of Yu Li rushing to the entrance of the Imperial College flashed in his mind, but he was hit by a charcoal truck rushing out.
"The person pushing the cart is an old man, his clothes are shabby, his hair is gray, his business is bleak, he is injured and it is difficult to walk, it is best, he has no children at home, and he depends on his wife for life."
Meng Qianqian and Brother Wu looked at him in disbelief.
Lu Yuan opened his eyes: "Only in this way can we arouse Yu Li's guilt and compassion, not only sell the charcoal to Yu Li, but also allow Yu Li to send him home."
Brother Wu was stunned: "Oh my god..."
Meng Qianqian suppressed her shock and said solemnly: "So, someone deliberately kidnapped my cousin..."
Lu Yuan looked at the ruts destroyed by the mottled footprints and said with a deep gaze, "I hope it's too late."
-
"Sir, you are so kind-hearted."
On the cart, the old man said with a smile.
"I...I just did...what I should do...old man...where is your home..."
Yu Li was a scholar, although the Imperial Academy had riding and archery lessons, which strengthened his body.
But after all, he was not a martial artist. It was really tiring to push a cart of charcoal and an old man for such a long distance.
"We're almost there, not far ahead!"
"good!"
Yuli gritted his teeth and insisted.
…
"Old man, this alley is so dark. It seems like no one lives there. Is your home really here?"
Yu Li had lived in a "Ghost Alley" before, but this endless alley gave him a more eerie feeling than Feng Shui Alley.
Moreover, Feng Shui Hutong only looks gloomy, but in fact it is not scary at all. The neighbors get along well with each other - Granny Feng, Uncle Lei, Ji Li... are all my cousin's friends.
The old man sighed: "This is the old street in the past. Everyone has moved away. My wife and I are helpless. Where can we move to?"
Yu Li suddenly felt guilty: "I'm sorry, old man, I didn't mean to mention your sadness."
"You are such a good person."
The old man turned his back to Yu Li and smiled slowly, "But sometimes, good people don't live long."
