Peach concubine

Xiao Jingmo was not willing to let go, he decided to find Jian Ruolin to have a frank talk.

It was already evening when I went there, the sun was sinking, and the scenery was sparse.Xiao Jingmo turned over the wall of the small courtyard, climbed up the peach tree that had just shed its flowers, landed on both feet, and saw Jian Ruolin sitting in the courtyard quietly making tea.

The corners of his mouth curled up, his eyebrows raised, and under the twilight, Xiao Jingmo's warm and affectionate winking eyes still carried a charming charm.But his eyes stared at the person sitting in the yard, and he approached step by step.

Jian Ruolin raised her head and smiled faintly: "Are you here?" With a calm tone and detached posture, she seemed like a passerby.

"I don't agree with what you said." Xiao Jingmo almost squeezed out the words word by word through his teeth, struggling like a trapped animal, sadly and fiercely.

Jian Ruolin smiled without saying a word, just looked at him quietly, with a white porcelain teacup next to her lips, which was as red as blood.

These eyes, such a smile, there is no trace of affection in the past, the calmness and indifference make one's heart palpitate.

Xiao Jingmo still kept the same sentence: "Ruolin, I don't want to let go." If it wasn't for this encounter, Xiao Jingmo might not be able to truly understand that Jian Ruolin is an existence that cannot be parted from him.Now that things have evolved so far, how can he, who has just understood his own intentions, let go of the lover he loves at this time?When he spoke again, his tone was already pleading and pleading: "Give me one more chance, and we can start over."

Jian Ruolin pursed her lips amusedly: "Although you have owed to the Jian family, you also owed me, Jian Ruolin, this kindness. Ruolin doesn't intend to repay this kindness with her body. Besides, it's hard to get over the water. It's not anything, you can have it." Chance to go back."

"No, no, I didn't intend to blackmail favors and ask for repayment. I just wanted, you come back to me." Stumbling a word, followed by another tender whisper──

"Ruolin, I like you."

The smile on Jian Ruolin's lips seemed to froze for a moment, looking at Xiao Jingmo, his face suddenly turned cold and cold: "When a man falls in love, he is not tolerated in the world, but because of the 'unwillingness' in his heart, he will possess and The desire to conquer is regarded as a mutual love... Didn't you tell me this? Why are you knowingly committing the crime and not realizing it?"

This round of retorts brought out exactly what Xiao Jingmo said that had hurt him. Jian Ruolin seemed gentle, but she had a very strong personality. Even when it came to her relationship with Xiao Jingmo, she would never drag her feet.After making up his mind to break everything, how could he let go and give Xiao Jingmo a chance to redeem himself?

Xiao Jingmo's repentance was superimposed, bitter, and begged again: "It's my fault, Ruolin, forgive me."

"Young Master Xiao is serious. The relationship between you and me has already been cleared up, so we can't talk about it."

Jian Ruolin has a tough mind, and Xiao Jingmo is not used to doing domineering things. Seeing his lover's stubbornness and refusal to give in, his face gradually darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Ruolin, I don't want to take that step, don't force me to take that step." I."

"It's you who are forcing me. Xiao Jingmo, if you want to die, I can tell you..." Jian Ruolin showed no signs of fear, but with incomparable determination: "Jian Ruolin would rather be broken than broken!"

The sonorous words finally shattered the only luck and hope left in Xiao Jingmo's heart. With a miserable smile, he staggered back half a step, "Why are you so relentless..." A few intense pains appeared in his eyes.

"Ruolin, I just want to ask you one question...do you really like me?"

Jian Ruolin raised Qi Yuan's eyebrows, and smiled mockingly: "Master Xiao, why do you care about this? Ruolin to you, it's just a romantic relationship, a love affair, and it can be discarded when you get tired of it. Is it true or not?" , what does it matter?"

Xiao Jingmo grabbed his hand unwillingly, the touch was icy cold, but it was a temperature he could no longer warm up: "It's not a game, it's not a game!" He hurriedly retorted, never had he regretted leaving that day so much: " Ruolin, I like you. It's true. It's not just playing around. It's not asking for each other. It's not..."

Jian Ruolin's eyes fell on him, and she interrupted coldly: "Xiao Jingmo, let's end."

Xiao Jingmo's face was ashen, as if all the strength in his body was drained in an instant - from the departure of his anger, to the return of his anger, and when he was ready to maintain this relationship and treat it with care, everything came to nothing.Xiao Jingmo never expected that he and Jian Ruolin would end like this.With a bleak smile, he said, "Since you received the news of your elder brother's death, you have already started planning every step of the way. Taking advantage of my unwillingness to lose to others, I made this good move." The smile was full of bitterness, but this Bitterness, but it's her own fault: "Ruo Lin, it turns out that I never understood you."

The brilliance in Jian Ruolin's eyes flowed, and her beauty was like a star: "How did I ever understand you..." After a slight pause, his eyes fell on Xiao Jingmo, and he called out in two words: "Jing Mo."

There was a smile on his lips, but there was no trace of charming emotion at all.

I don't love lovesickness in my life, but lovesickness for a while will hurt lovesickness.

Jian Ruolin originally thought that with Xiao Jingmo's personality, no matter how badly she said it, she would not be able to fundamentally cut off his thoughts.If you really want to get rid of it completely, you must have a firm mind, and you can't be fooled by that person's soft and soft offensive, so he has already made preparations for Xiao Jingmo to be obsessed with it again.

Unexpectedly, since the conversation broke up that day, Xiao Jingmo really disappeared, and he did not appear in sight for several days.Jian Ruolin didn't know whether to be lucky or sad.

For him, this man is already a kind of existence carved into his bone marrow. He is utterly utterly unjust, and in essence, he is hurting the enemy three points and self-injury seven points.

Occasionally, he woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, looking at the empty bed and the cold quilt, as if something had been ripped out of his body like flesh and bones.Although it was he himself who was cruel and cruel, the pain was still painful.

He thought: that man of his... just stay away from now on and never see each other again?

When my heart was empty, I thought again: It seems like this... that's fine.

However, when Jian Ruolin saw a gentle woman with a woman's hair in a bun and a big belly in Liufang Pavilion, all the efforts she had made in her heart before were like a joke, a "fortress" that was finally built. The room fell apart.In this world, there is only that person who can make himself worry about gains and losses, be overjoyed and deeply saddened.Just like when Liufang Pavilion was in crisis, no matter how hard Jian Ruolin supported herself, she couldn't go on alone.

The woman's name is Wanzhen, and she lives up to her name. Although she is not a beautiful woman, she has soft brows and eyes and a delicate face, and she has a graceful temperament that only a lady can have.

Jian Ruolin heard in the accounting room that a customer insisted on seeing her, so she put down her business and rushed over, but she never thought it would be her.

The person who came first had a face full of spring, and looked him up and down, with some consideration in his eyes. Because of the slightly awkward identities between the two of them, Jian Ruolin was not used to such scrutiny... It was as if the mistress was looking at the concubine's room that was about to enter.Jian Ruolin didn't know why she felt this way, she just subconsciously felt uncomfortable.

Wanzhen also knew that she was being impolite, so after a little blessing, she said, "Forgive me, Mr. Jian, please forgive Wanzhen for being unwell and unable to complete the ceremony." It's just that there are some things that I have to say to the young master face to face, and Wanzhen doesn't care about the difference between men and women."

"You're welcome. Ma'am, if you have something to say, you may as well speak directly." The word "Ma'am" was irritating no matter what.

"It is said that the clever and beautiful Ehuang and Nvying were the two daughters of Emperor Yao, the chieftain of the tribe in ancient times. Emperor Yao wanted to find a satisfactory heir in his later years. It was passed on to Shun, and Ehuang and Nvying were made Shun's wives. Ehuang was made queen and Nvying was concubine. Shun lived up to Yao's trust, let Yu control the flood, and made the people live a stable life. Ehuang and Nvying also helped Shun do good deeds for the people, and it has been passed down for generations..." Wanzhen suddenly mentioned the allusion of Ehuang and Nvying. Seeing Jian Ruolin's reaction.

"What does Ma'am want to say?"

Jian Ruolin's reaction was too indifferent, so indifferent that Wanzhen almost thought that she was thinking in the wrong place.

With a solemn face, Wanzhen still opened her mouth and said: "Wanzhen has been familiar with 'Nvzheng' and 'Women's Words' since she was a child, and only knows that her husband is the god. Since ancient times, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. He..." Seemingly ignorant of the application and expression, he just glanced at Jian Ruolin and vaguely said, "Wanzhen is not someone who doesn't know the general idea, even so, she won't object..."

Before she finished speaking, Jian Ruolin suddenly stood up.

His face was pale, but he smiled slightly at Wanzhen: "Did Madam misunderstand something?"

With a cold smile in his heart, Xiao Jingmo was so shameless that he wanted his wife to lobby him, a "shady lover"? !Where did he put himself? !

"Wanzhen and Xianggong are just a marriage contract made by the elders. The person in Xianggong's heart has never been Wanzhen, so you don't have to worry about it." At this moment, she still thought that Jian Ruolin broke with Xiao Jingmo because of herself. This kind and gentle woman tried her best to think To save her true love for her husband: "Wanzhen came this time because she wanted to invite your son..."

"I really don't understand Madam's meaning...Liufang Pavilion has a lot of affairs, if there is nothing else, please forgive me for not staying with me for a long time."

"Wait, wait." Seeing that he was about to leave, Wanzhen became even more anxious, and blurted out, "Master is injured!"

Sure enough, seeing Jian Ruolin's stature stopped, her footsteps froze, and she was a little dazed and unbelievably dazed, Wanzhen immediately said: "My husband came back at night a few days ago, and somehow met a strong man in the mountains. The knife wound The bones were deep, and the wound was infected and festered, resulting in a high fever that would not subside, and people were almost confused. Xianggong kept calling the young master's name. Although Wanzhen knew that it was not suitable for etiquette, she had no choice but to ask the young master to see him one side."

When she first heard that Xiao Jingmo was injured, Jian Ruolin was shocked, but after hearing Wanzhen's words, she gradually calmed down.After all, Xiao Jingmo's family background is noble, even though he was injured, but with so many doctors and servants serving him, it's unlikely that anything serious will happen.Jian Ruolin even thought, wouldn't this be another trick that Xiao Jingmo came up with, just to lure himself to sympathize?

──After falling down once, he was really scared, and he dared not act rashly no matter what.What's more, we have already decided to separate, no matter what the reason is, if we continue to entangle each other and create intersections, it will be detrimental to others and ourselves.

After making up his mind, he finally coldly refused: "Mrs., you have found the wrong person. I am not a doctor. I am afraid I can't help you." Quickly turned around and walked into the inner room, no matter how wrong Wanzhen was left behind. Leng.

But the arrogant and free-spirited man came back to his mind, still the same picture, the setting sun was like blood, he was sitting under the peach blossom tree, riding the sun to come.One leg dangled in the air, hair flying.

Jian Ruolin walked too hastily, and bumped into a little boy unexpectedly. The little boy was holding a basket in his arms, and the bottles and jars inside fell to the ground.It also knocked Jian Ruolin to one side, the huge impact caused pain in his waist and abdomen, his face turned pale instantly, coupled with his absent-minded appearance, in the eyes of the little boy, he only felt terrified.

"Second, Second Lord." The little boy was trembling even as he spoke, squatting on the ground in a panic to pick up the bottle.

The person in charge immediately scolded: "Damn you, you are so frizzy!"

Jian Ruolin also came back to her senses, seeing that the boy was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a small stature, and there was a child-like little Si'er beside her, so she couldn't bear to teach him a lesson, instead she reprimanded Guan Ling and comforted him. Said: "It's okay." Pulled up the little boy to check: "I'm not hurt, am I?"

The little boy folded his hands and lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and his voice sounded like a mosquito: "No, no."

Jian Ruolin looked at that face with a strange look: "I haven't seen it before, I just came here. These tasks are relatively trivial, and I won't be afraid after you get used to it." I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jian Ruolin felt the body in front of her Shaking badly.It's just that the child was frightened, and I was even more embarrassed to say anything more.

He rubbed his head, just like he usually does to Xiao Sier: "Go, I'll be busy with you."

Holding the basket in his hands, the little boy walked quickly as if fleeing.

Being interrupted like this, the uneasiness in my heart was also diluted a bit, and the lingering images in my mind were finally no longer entangled.

Shaking her head, Jian Ruolin slowed down and walked towards the pharmacy.

It is said to be a pharmacy, but it is actually a place where all kinds of dried flowers and spices are stored. The entire wall is made in the style of a medicinal herb shop, but the small cabinets are no longer filled with medicinal herbs, but the products shared by Liufang Pavilion. Fragrant ingredients.

Jian Ruolin went straight to the deserted place, and there was a locked cabinet in the corner.

By accident, Jian Ruolin came here, squatted down again, fumbled for the key hanging on her waist, opened the cabinet and took out the contents.

──Inside is a dark purple embroidered gold sachet, elegant and luxurious, but the fragrance it evokes is as light as fireworks in March.

Jian Ruolin stroked the surface with her delicate fingers, and groped a few times, her eyes were indifferent, she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a long time, he finally heard him sigh softly, and carefully put the sachet back in the cabinet and put it away as it was.There seemed to be some tears in those bright eyes, but there didn't seem to be any.

Perhaps it was because of squatting for too long, the moment she stood up, she felt dizzy for a moment, and Jian Ruolin had to support the wall to stand still.After a while, I felt that the dizziness gradually faded away, and my limbs and senses became sharp again.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a wind blowing behind her, and Jian Ruolin suddenly turned around vigilantly.

Something covered his mouth and nose, and the pungent and strong smell of the potion rushed straight to his forehead, and all the strength in his body was drained instantly.Jian Ruolin only had time to make out a faint figure, her eyes went dark, and then she collapsed weakly.
