Peach concubine

As soon as she stepped into Liufang Pavilion, Jian Ruolin saw a little boy passing by carrying a cabinet, so she stopped him.

"What's the matter?" When I looked up, I saw that the pavilion was in a mess, someone was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, someone was flicking the beads to make a "cracking" sound, and someone was rushing away like burning their buttocks.

"Second Master, it's you." The little boy staggered over with a large cabinet in his arms, "Second Master, have you forgotten that just after the spring equinox, the pavilion also needs to do year-end accounts, counting goods and orders?" The Eldest Young Master also ordered to move the warehouse to another place, and everyone is busy moving things."

Jian Ruolin remembered that there was indeed such a thing, she hadn't been to Liufang Pavilion for a while, and she even forgot such a thing, she was really ashamed.

"Where is big brother?"

The little boy pointed to the direction of the backyard: "The young master is in the counting room."

Jian Ruolin nodded, then walked towards the backyard.As soon as he entered the accounting room, he saw Jian Ruoxi sitting by the desk, flipping through some papers, frowning, his face was full of exhaustion and anxiety, as if he had encountered some problem.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jian Ruoxi propped her forehead and looked up: "Ruo Lin, you're here."

Turning her head, Jian Ruolin could see the big brother's personal servant packing up the soft clothes and packing them into a bundle at the other end of the room, so she asked, "Brother, are you going to go out?" A soft couch and a wardrobe. On weekdays, when Jian Ruoxi didn't go home, she would make do with it and change clothes overnight.

Jian Ruoxi nodded: "I wanted to tell you earlier, but there are too many things going on in the pavilion recently, so I didn't find the opportunity. Tomorrow I will get up and go to Lingnan to collect some bills. This trip may take a month , I will entrust someone to take care of the pavilion, and you should pay more attention to it, so come and have a look in the pavilion when you have time."

But Jian Ruolin was puzzled: "What kind of accounts do I need elder brother to collect in person? Didn't uncle Qi go there in the past?"

Jian Ruoxi replied vaguely: "Something happened over there this time, and it's a little tricky, so I have to go there myself."

While talking, the boy had already packed the package, and was pushed out by Jian Ruoxi with a wave of his hand, and bowed back.

There were only two brothers left in the room, facing each other.Jian Ruolin felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the elder brother, and felt that the gaze was too sharp, as if it had penetrated the shell he tried his best to build, and looked straight into the bottom of his heart.I vaguely felt that my eldest brother seemed to have something to say to me alone, but after waiting for a long time, my eldest brother still had deep eyes, but did not speak.

"Brother... have something to tell me?" Finally, he mustered up the courage to break the long-pressed silence.

Jian Ruoxi lowered her eyelids, as if she was considering her words: "Did you know the rumors about you these days?" It's hard to make people unaware of it with three-point publicity.Jian Ruolin was already fine and beautiful, so people talked a lot, and there were more or less unbearable gossip about Jian's brothers and Liufang Pavilion.

"I..." was asked suddenly, and I didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Brother told you earlier, you can't afford to provoke someone like Xiao Jingmo. Look at his temperament, how can he be a long-term person, if you fall into it so stupidly, it will be too late to regret later." Probably Because she was about to travel for a month, Jian Ruoxi was even more worried about her younger brother, and her words became more hasty and intense: "Didn't you save that girl Chanjuan yourself? You should see what happened to her. understand best."

It's not the first time that the eldest brother warned himself to stay away from Xiao Jingmo, but this time, after listening to it, for some reason, he felt a little depressed in his heart, feeling unhappy.

Jian Ruolin's appearance is gentle and mellow, but her temper is extremely strong. If she decides something, she will rush to the end.Seeing his elder brother who was determined to bring him back to the "right path", Jian Ruolin stubbornly and firmly uttered a sentence, with a hint of anger: "Jing Mo is not that kind of person."

──If you want to be together, you should trust with all your heart, right?

"What do you know? You're a man, how can you hang around with him all day long?!" Jian Ruoyan didn't expect her obedient younger brother to disobey his advice in this way. There will always be an obedient "I see" in his mouth to make him feel at ease, such a response with resistance and a little hostility has never been seen before.Jian Ruoxi couldn't help being a little annoyed and heartbroken. She was so focused on fearing that her younger brother would be wronged, but he didn't appreciate it: "What good will come of your entanglement with him? Could it be that he can really welcome you to the door openly?" , spend the rest of my life with you?"

The problem that I have been unwilling to face up to is cut open alive, and the blood is filled in front of my eyes.

Jian Ruolin's lips were a little pale, dizziness surged in her mind, and she was on the verge of falling as if she couldn't stand.

That's right, it's unacceptable for men to fall in love, and they are both proud and conceited men, what kind of attitude will they use in the future to face the turmoil of the secular world and the harsh criticism of the world?How many people are willing to sincerely tolerate this unethical love?

"Ruolin, Ruolin, why are you so stupid." Jian Ruoxi sighed heavily, hitting her heart.

Brothers who have been brothers for more than ten years, it was the first time that Jian Ruoxi said serious words to the younger brother who loved and protected him wholeheartedly. He intended to remind the younger brother once again not to fall into too deep a trap, but later it turned into something serious. It became a hurtful accusation.Perhaps it is really because the affairs of Liufang Pavilion have been too much trouble recently, and even the mood and patience have become unreasonably anxious.

It was a good intention, but in the end they broke up unhappy.

The next day, Jian Ruoxi set off for Lingnan.

Having caused elder brother worry and displeasure, Jian Ruolin felt very guilty when she thought about it later, she wanted to admit her mistake and say a few words before elder brother left, so as not to let him go out and worry about his own affairs.But unexpectedly, the eldest brother left before dawn, without even saying a word.

I felt a little sad in my heart, thinking that I was really too ignorant and hurt my elder brother's heart.

After being absent-minded for a while, when it was almost noon, the loyal uncle in the mansion came over with a cup of his favorite sweet-scented osmanthus frosting, saying that it was the elder brother who confessed it last night, and repeatedly told him several times.

"The young master said that even though he likes it, it is a sweet food after all. You can't eat too much at one time. It's good to have a few at a time."

Jian Ruolin picked up one and put it in her mouth, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus and the sweetness of frosting sugar immediately filled her mouth──

After all, they are brothers, and after the conflict, they still have a deep brotherhood. There will be no overnight resentment, and my heart is instantly relieved.Jian Ruolin pondered, when the elder brother came back, he should apologize properly -- no matter what, it was always his own fault to make the elder brother worry about him.

Without Jian Ruoxi, as the second master of Jian's family, Jian Ruolin's work increased accordingly.

There are so many people who invite him to come to make incense, Jian Ruolin has very little spare time.When Xiao Jingmo came, he also knew the priorities, he stopped pulling him around to mess around, and stayed quietly by the side to accompany him, and beat him along the way.Jian Ruolin was afraid that he would be bored, so she chased him away a few times and refused to leave. Seeing him instead, she seemed excited, so she followed him.

Once he was so busy that he didn't go back until midnight, and when he entered the door, he saw Xiao Jingmo sitting in the room, stretching and kicking his legs in boredom, but he hadn't left yet.On the table in front of him, there was a porcelain bowl covered with a lid, from which a seductive aroma was faintly exuded.

Lines of sight intersect in mid-air, and the air is filled with the endless silence of the night.

Jian Ruolin suddenly had an illusion, as if the person sitting in the room in front of her was a virtuous woman who had been waiting for her husband to return home for a long time.

Of course Xiao Jingmo couldn't match words like "good wife and loving mother", so this thought just passed by.

"Didn't you say that there are many things today, so you will be busy until late?" Jian Ruolin was pulled by Xiao Jingmo, and she sat in his arms, nestling quietly: "Did Xiao Sier tell you?"

Xiao Jingmo's hand touched and pinched him unceremoniously, and hugged him tightly, his tone was quite sad: "I've been waiting for you all night, don't you want to drive me away as soon as we meet?" Of course Jian Ruolin didn't mean that, she was in a hurry Just wanted to explain, but Xiao Jingmo covered his mouth with two fingers: "It's fine for other times, but tonight, I must spend it with you."

Jian Ruolin still didn't understand, Xiao Jingmo lifted the lid of the porcelain bowl on the table, and smiled obsequiously at him.

Inside a large porcelain bowl was a bowl of longevity noodles, with two white and tender eggs embedded in the noodles, and a layer of oil flakes mixed with sporadic green onions floating on the surface.

Jian Ruolin still didn't react in a daze, until Xiao Jingmo grabbed his hand and clasped his fingers back and forth, then turned to look at him.

"Tsk tsk, I don't even remember it, today is your birthday." Just after midnight, it just happened to say goodbye to "yesterday" and usher in "today", Xiao Jingmo rubbed the person in his arms like a puppy , with a flattering smile: "Try it and see how it tastes, I cooked it myself."

At his instigation, Jian Ruolin put a chopstick into her mouth.He didn't taste the taste, but the warmth flowed from his throat all the way down to the bottom of his heart, making him feel an inexplicable feeling.

Xiao Jingmo threatened, "I boiled several sacks of noodles. No matter whether it is delicious or not, you have to eat it for me, or I won't let you go." He pretended to bite hard, and took advantage of the opportunity again, feeling complacent.

Jian Ruolin felt moisture in his eyes, and he began to understand that the sour feeling in his heart should be called moving.Turning his head to look for Xiao Jingmo's direction, he wanted to say something, but found that there was a lump in his throat, and he was already speechless.

"Jing Mo..." With such care and gentleness, can I let myself indulge?

The faint call was overshadowed by the sudden explosion of the salute, and even sitting in the room, the bright and gorgeous light also passed through the gaps in the window, making the room flickering bright and dark, and the sky was pierced by colorful light. , the flow is non-stop.

Fireworks set off just for him...

Xiao Jingmo pulled him up to run outside, and the sky was filled with scattered colorful fireworks, rising, exploding, and falling—the well-planned congratulatory gift, although clichéd, was enough to touch people's hearts.

The corners of Jian Ruolin's eyes were slightly moist, but she smiled contentedly. She looked radiant and beautiful like jade.

"Thank you."

When Xiao Jingmo heard it, he just smiled faintly, like the wind and the moon, he hugged his waist tightly in his arms, refusing to let go: "If Lin really wants to thank me, then make me some incense powder too."

In the darkness, the man's eyebrows were picturesque, and he raised them slightly, slightly suspicious, but Xiao Jingmo raised his chin, tossing and sucking deeply.

The pitch-black sky became the most gorgeous background, dotted with fireworks blooming like flowers, reflecting the lovers kissing passionately.I don't know how many fireworks were used, and it took more than half an hour before it gradually calmed down.

That night, the city of Suzhou was sleepless, so many young girls in Huaichun were all fascinated by watching under the same night.
