Peach concubine

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the lights are flickering.

Xiao Jingmo murmured: "If you don't love lovesickness in your life, you will love it, and you will hurt lovesickness." Thinking that day, it was just a few love poems from the Chinese ink in his chest, and they were transcribed quite artfully on peach blossom paper. The local sent someone to send it over.

Although it is said to be a small trick to coax the lover, but the secret joy and apprehension in the bottom of my heart are no different from that of a stupid boy in love.He even sent a shadow guard to him to find out about that person.Hearing that the man crumpled the peach blossom paper into a ball, his heart ached, but hearing that the man then flattened the paper carefully and put it away carefully, Xiao Jingmo was so happy that he couldn't tell the difference...

Those details of the past emerged clearly, only to realize that all along, I just didn't understand.How could he think it was just a joke?How silly.

"I heard that the person has already woken up, and he is nourished with good soup and medicine. Although the injury looks terrible, it does not hurt the root cause. After a month of recuperation like this, he will probably be fine." Bai Qi couldn't help but opened his eyes. mouth.

"It's fine." Xiao Jingmo caressed the jasper hairpin in his palm, his whole body looked pale for no reason, and repeated in a low voice: "It's fine."

Bai Qi really couldn't see Xiao Jingmo's dying look like this: "As for it? Isn't he just a man." After speaking, he felt a little weird, put on a somewhat embarrassing expression on his face, glanced at the hairpin in his hand, He said again: "Since it's uncomfortable, why bother holding it in your hand and looking at it all the time, aren't you looking for it yourself?"

"But it will be even more uncomfortable if you don't look at me." Xiao Jingmo replied seriously: "You are right, I have brought it on myself."

Bai Qi then kept silent, but still ran back and forth very diligently every day, intentionally or unintentionally bringing some news about Jian Ruolin.

"I can go to the ground today, and I am very stubborn. I heard that when I woke up, I muttered to go back to Jian's house. Now that I can walk two steps, I don't want to lie on the bed anymore..." Bai Qi With an expression that could be called disdainful on his face, he said in a stern voice, "Bah—what a nonsense."

"It's much better today. The whip wounds have scabbed over. The injury on the hand is more serious, but now I can move my fingers slightly."

"The one called Yueniang is really hardworking. She runs here every day, serving tea and drinking water and asking about her health. I said, Jing Mo, you can rest assured that the two of them will just stay like this."

Finally, he said: "Jing Mo, go and see him, it's not a problem to keep avoiding him like this."

Xiao Jingmo was sitting, and after hearing this, the loneliness in his eyes flooded out uncontrollably.He and Jian Ruolin were only separated by a courtyard, but he already felt that the distance between them was unreachable.What are you doing now and what are you thinking about?Xiao Jingmo no longer dared to guess, and he really couldn't figure it out.He was distressed by Jian Ruolin's calculation and determination, but what was even more distressing was that the person who persecuted that person since then was himself.Isn't it just a cocoon?

I still remember that at that time, he climbed over the wall and entered, Jian Ruolin dressed up was as beautiful as a fairy.After getting drunk, he snuggled into his arms, his drunken eyes blurred, and asked him softly: "How much can I trust your sincerity?" At that time, he was dazzled by the soft lips that followed, There is no time to analyze in detail how the person who asked this question felt so helpless in his heart at that time, and what kind of mood Jian Ruolin had in tacitly acquiescing to the harmony of that night.

However, when he first turned his back on this relationship, Jian Ruolin's handling method was completely beyond his expectation.I thought I had already regretted it, I thought that that person had always been gentle and gentle, and after he changed his mind, there would always be an opportunity and time to slowly recognize his own heart and slowly make up for the unknowing debt.But he never thought that Jian Ruolin, who was as proud as Jian Ruolin, used the most decisive method to completely strip him from his life.

"Xiao Jingmo, we are settled... From now on, there will be no love between you and me until death... We will never see each other again." Jian Ruolin's expression when he said this, he will never forget.There was an indifferent smile on the corner of the mouth, and the eyes that looked at him were calm and unwavering, as if looking at someone who had nothing to do with him.When he turned to leave, there was no nostalgia at all.

Does it mean that I don't want to see each other again, but I just dare not see each other again.

Even though Xiao Jingmo is unrestrained and arrogant, he is really afraid that the person will say: "Jian Ruolin would rather be a piece of jade than a tile!" Or a decisive and irreversible: "Xiao Jingmo, end it!" Hopeless: "There's no going back for us."

Seeing that autumn is about to enter, as soon as the sun sinks, the night will be so cold that people feel like they are immersed in water.

Xiao Jingmo was a little dazed, thinking about seeing Jian Ruolin again, no matter what, no matter how hard-faced or soft-hearted, he must ask for a chance to "do it all over again".But every time, once he got close to the courtyard where Jian Ruolin lived, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Just like now, she unknowingly walked outside Jian Ruolin's house again, walking at a leisurely pace that was not very hurried, but when she saw the familiar figure reflected by the bright light at the window, she once again faltered.I walked back and forth several times, but I couldn't muster the courage.After thinking about it, Xiao Jingmo couldn't help but smile wryly──

Or it's okay, just stand and look at him like this, knowing that he is okay, that's fine.

While sighing, the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground was particularly clear and loud, Xiao Jingmo only saw the figure in front of him flicker, and then there was a very low, very soft whisper.If it wasn't for Ye Taijing and Xiao Jingmo's being too close and concentrating, the small moan overflowing from his throat would not be audible at all.

But at this moment, Xiao Jingmo felt that voice hit his heart heavily.

Without even thinking about it, he opened the door and walked in. At a glance, he saw Jian Ruolin who was squatting on the ground, wearing only a plain inner robe.The fragments of the teacup on the floor were scattered all over the place. When Jian Ruolin heard the sound, she squatted there and raised her head, staring blankly at him crashing in without thinking.When the eyes met, Jian Ruolin froze and forgot to speak and move.

Maybe she was going to sleep, but Jian Ruolin's hair was not combed, so she tied it up with a ribbon and let it hang around her shoulders.He was even barefoot, and even his robe was baggy, so he just raised his head and stared blankly.

Xiao Jingmo took a few glances, and Jian Ruolin really lost a lot of weight, and even his face was pale and pale.

"Are you here? I'm sorry, I missed and broke your teacup..." It took a long time to hear Jian Ruolin's voice, but she was also a little out of breath, and the pair of bright black eyes that were originally raised also avoided hang down.For some reason, Jian Ruolin felt a little at a loss, so she could only continue to pick up the fragments of teacups on the ground.

Xiao Jingmo rushed up to stop him impatiently: "Don't pick it up, be careful not to prick your hands, and let the servants come over and clean it up later."

In a moment of urgency, she snatched Jian Ruolin's two hands into her without hesitation.Jian Ruolin's skin has always been fair, and now that he is holding her in his hand, the bright red on the fingertips is particularly eye-catching.

Xiao Jingmo watched, and a burst of anger welled up: "Can't you make people feel at ease? If you don't look at you for a while, you will make a mess of yourself. Do you know what it means to cherish yourself?!"

Jian Ruolin was embarrassed by his rebuke, she didn't pick it up, she didn't pick it up, and if she didn't move her hands, she didn't move away.

After Xiao Jingmo roared, he also noticed Jian Ruolin's in vain stiffness, the eyes of the two intersected, and they both hid in embarrassment.

"It's nothing important, I just didn't notice it for a while."

Jian Ruolin's indifference made Xiao Jingmo feel a little uncomfortable, he let go of his hand nonchalantly, and only said: "I'll send someone to clean up later, you're all cut, don't touch it again."

After speaking, I went to the cabinet and rummaged for a while-this is Xiao Jingmo's other courtyard, each room has a medicine box in case of emergency, not to mention that this is Jian Ruolin's room for recuperating, Xiao Jingmo even put his heart into it and specially set up a medicine box. A cabinet is used to store some panacea medicinal materials.After turning out the medicine box familiarly, he took the gauze and wound medicine, and pulled Jian Ruolin to sit at the table.

Jian Ruolin watched his movements, and frowned slightly. He was gentle and gentle in nature, and couldn't say no to refuse. After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice: "Don't bother Mr. Xiao, I'll do it myself."

Xiao Jingmo reversed his dodge before, and looked at him fixedly, making Jian Ruolin speechless.

Unable to refuse, Xiao Jingmo took his hand, poured the wound medicine, then tore the spun yarn into long strips as wide as the fingertips, and wound it three or four times before finishing.

Jian Ruolin looked at the bandaged wound, and suddenly showed a smile, which seemed mocking and bitter.Before the sentence was filtered by the brain, it was out of the mouth: "Xiao Jingmo, I am not a woman."

Indeed, it was just a cut on the finger, Jian Ruolin was a man, Xiao Jingmo really didn't need to care so much.Even carefully bandaged with medicine, too much care, too much hospitality.

"I know." Xiao Jingmo smiled slightly, "Although it's a minor injury, don't be careless. The original injury on your hand hasn't healed yet, and it won't be good if you get injured again."

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence between the two of them.

It wasn't until Xiao Jingmo stared at the candlelight unconsciously that he lost his mind, and then heard Jian Ruolin say: "Xiao Jingmo, do you know? Actually, I don't want to owe you any more." He wanted to speak, but Jian Ruolin continued: "The kindness is also Okay, it’s okay to be gentle, I’m sorry.”

Xiao Jingmo sat there with his mouth half open, full of words but he didn't know how to start, and where to start.I just felt that I was choked by Jian Ruolin's words, and I almost struggled to ask him: "Ruolin, why do you have to do this, give me another chance to believe in me, is it so difficult?" He didn't expect Jian Ruolin to be able to There was no answer that made him feel comfortable. He just took out the Jade Hairpin that had been hidden in his bosom for the past two days and stroked it thousands of times, stared at Jian Ruolin's face, and even showed a little aggressiveness: "Then, tell me Me, what is this?!"

Lantern Festival... lantern riddles... hairpins... thousands of lights...

Jian Ruolin's memories were all hooked up by this hairpin, her heart was full of flow, and she didn't know where the injury came from?

"I have always regretted that you never confessed to me personally and said that you like me. I thought it was too long, and I thought you were ashamed to say it and brooding... But I never thought that you would have given me the answer. If it weren't for Xiaosi My son told me, I never knew..." If you didn't give your heart, why did you give him the jade hairpin that was passed down to your daughter-in-law with the tacit consent?Jian Ruo Lin has never said it on the mouth, but in the bottom of her heart, she admits it, and she will be with her for a lifetime, and she will never leave it.

Jian Ruolin's face was pale, and even his eyes showed a little fragility, but his back was so straight, his joints were stretched every inch, but he restrained himself from trembling.He raised his head and smiled: "Xiao Jingmo, don't you know that people's hearts can change?" Then he said: "I said, I don't want to owe you anymore..." His eyes fell on the jade hairpin , The smile became more open: "Did you know that after I was imprisoned, Xiaosier once came to see me? When Liufangge just found out the poisonous incense powder, I knew when you came, and you treated me well." I didn't give up. How lucky I was at that time, because I knew that if I couldn't hold on, at least I could guarantee that Liufang Pavilion would not collapse in my hands.

That night, I stood in front of my eldest brother's coffin all night, and I also talked all night. At that time, you were outside the window, right?Although you, Xiao Jingmo, are ruthless, you are also very sentimental. As long as I pretend to be a little bit, I'm not afraid that you won't feel sorry for you.Facts have also proved that this method is indeed effective, and you really did intervene in this matter.

Later, when Xiao Si'er came to see me in prison, I suddenly had other thoughts.If you are willing to fight against the government for me, you have to have some chips, but it is obviously not enough to rely on your guilt towards me.Ha ha... how did Xiao Sier know what, I told him that Jian Ruolin was not filial to his parents, and Bi Yuzan didn't have a mistress, so he ended up in such a situation.Heh, in fact, this hairpin is not a token from the Jian family to the daughters-in-law of the past generations, but it is just an ordinary item.

……

Xiao Jingmo, I shouldn't have plotted against you in this matter, I finally owe you a favor, and I will always repay you in the future. "

From the beginning of listening quietly, Xiao Jingmo couldn't restrain his anger more and more later, until finally, his eyes were livid with anger, and even the hand holding the jade hairpin trembled with hatred.

Jian Ruolin was very indifferent, it seemed that Xiao Jingmo's seizure was completely expected by him, and he was only waiting for him to question.

Sure enough—

"Did you fucking do it on purpose? You don't want to have anything to do with me anymore, so you told such a ridiculous story to discredit yourself? You used to be a man who was upright and upright, but now you are just like others. You hate me, you hate me, you don’t want to see me, you want to break up with me completely, so you just say it as before, I, Xiao Jingmo, rescued you from prison, and I never wanted to ask for favor. Who are you? I don’t know, do you really think I’ll believe what you say?! You want to kill the kind and gentle Jian Ruolin in my heart, right? But Jian Ruolin, you can reject me, hate me, and scold me, but you can’t make up To deceive me with such words!"

Roaring all the way to the end, Xiao Jingmo's eyes turned red: "Ruo Lin, you are too cruel!"

Having said that, Jian Ruolin was already prepared to bear Xiao Jingmo's anger, so Xiao Jingmo said yes at first, and he just listened to his scolding silently.It's just that he didn't expect it. After hearing it, he faintly felt that the outbreak of anger and questioning seemed to be different from what he expected, and a little surprise appeared in his eyes.

The last sentence of accusation hissed like a trapped animal was like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart.

Jian Ruolin was shocked, and asked herself, is it?Is he cruel?

There is no longer any hope, and it is completely broken, isn't it good?It's better for Xiao Jingmo to hate him than to be entangled -- that's what he thought before.So he deliberately distorted the facts, and attributed all the previous events to his own careful planning.He thought that in this way, he would no longer have anything to do with Xiao Jingmo, as he himself said, he didn't want to owe Xiao Jingmo anything, so he would rather be misunderstood by him.

However, he never expected that Xiao Jingmo would not believe his words at all.

Jian Ruolin suddenly felt a little sore in her eye sockets and a little weak in her body.at a loss.

"If you're determined, I won't force you, but you have no right to force me to end this relationship!" Xiao Jingmo finally made a concession, got up and went out with a sad wry smile.

"Xiao Jingmo!"

As soon as one foot stepped over the threshold, it was stopped by this sound and could not move.

Xiao Jingmo turned his head, and saw Jian Ruolin sitting at the table, a dim yellow light reflected half of his face, the soft and beautiful outline was clearly defined, just like the gentle and jade-like appearance in his memory.Quiet as a virgin, slender and fragile, but like a bamboo, it would rather bend than bend, tenacious and resolute.

Just as she was thinking about it, Jian Ruolin said, "I admit that this time it's my fault, I shouldn't lie to you with excuses."

Those deep pool-like eyes stared at him for a long time, and finally broke into a smile.

It wasn't a wry smile, it wasn't an indifferent smile, and it wasn't a deliberate smile with sarcasm, but a sincere smile that I hadn't seen for a long time in my memory. It was as warm as a spring breeze, blowing away the embarrassment of the previous moment.

"I'll see you later, you and I can still be friends again and have a good time drinking and talking."

When a man falls in love, he is not allowed in the world... After being entangled for these days, Xiao Jingmo finally waited for this sentence, until Jian Ruolin let go.It seemed that the sun was long overdue, and finally dispelled the dark clouds and heavy rain, and Xiao Jingmo finally showed a different kind of bright smile on his face.

[End of the first part of "Peach Concubine"]

Writer's words:

I like this new function, haha, so I nagged a few words, the story of "Peach Concubine", when I was writing "Looking for Joy" at the beginning, I was killed by Ying Ning and Wang Ye under the peach blossom tree that I wrote , so I came up with the idea of ​​writing a story related to peach blossoms. The opening and writing of "Peach Concubine" are a bit plain and trivial. I know that many people are not interested in this kind of writing. Even myself, I can't read this kind of writing that looks like plain boiled water and has no ups and downs. .But in the end, I stubbornly wrote it down according to this pattern and style, and finally, the upper part is over.tears.I will spend a little time modifying the front and updating the back, and let me say unscrupulously, [the lower part] will be more exciting, ruthlessly cruel! ! !Finally, I would like to express my apologies for the delay in the update speed. Although those who have not seen the reminder article will be a little sad, is this article really too weak to read? . .Tangled. . .
