Peach concubine

Jian Ruolin didn't stay very late, the two walked side by side, holding a few lanterns in their hands, and the lights were on and off.

Jian's alley is far away from the busy city, so the flow of people gradually thinned out, no one spoke, and the noisy men on weekdays also rarely shut up.Slowly, a boundless stillness brewed in the air.

When I got to the door, I found Xiao Si'er standing at the door with red eyes, and when he saw him, he jumped up and hugged him and cried loudly.

Jian Ruolin was inexplicable for a moment, until she looked up and saw the eldest brother who came out behind Xiao Si'er, the anxiety and worry in his brows and eyes had not faded away, and a pair of kind and big eyes fell on him, and he didn't ask anything, just lightly ordered to toss The servants of Jian's mansion who were almost turned on their backs: "The second young master is back, tell them to go back to their respective places, so there is no need to look for them any more."

Xiao Si'er rubbed against his arms dishonestly, feeling very wronged: "Where did you go, you disappeared without a word." There was a bit of blame and anger in his words.

It was only then that Jian Ruolin realized belatedly that she was "forcibly" taken away by Xiao Jingmo over the wall.

On weekdays it was fine, his small courtyard was alone, and at night, few people would come to see him again.But tonight is the Lantern Festival. According to the custom, every relative will gather together, hang lanterns and have a reunion dinner.It must be that the eldest brother sent someone to the yard to invite him, and when he was missing, he mobilized the people and gathered all the servants in the mansion to look for him.

I couldn't help but feel apologetic and guilty in my heart, just as I was about to speak, Xiao Jingmo robbed me of my words.

"This matter was originally my fault. I shouldn't have invited Mr. Jian to enjoy the lanterns on my own initiative without saying hello. I made brother Jian worry for nothing, and Xiao should be punished."

Jian Ruoxi's face was pale, no joy or anger could be seen, just the tired look between the corners of her brows, which was clearly visible.Cupping his hands slightly, he said: "Brother Xiao is serious, but it was just a false alarm. Since I went out with Brother Xiao to enjoy the lanterns, it's okay, as long as I come back safely."

The two exchanged a few polite greetings, and when Xiao Jingmo was sent away, Jian Ruoxi's expression turned gloomy, and she walked in front, neither looking at Jian Ruolin nor speaking, her legs seemed to be wound up , walking fast alternately.

Jian Ruolin managed to calm down the frightened little Si'er, seeing his elder brother's appearance, he knew that he must be annoyed.

Jian Ruoxi has loved this younger brother since she was a child, and she protects her younger brother like a calf. She is extremely nervous even when she coughs on weekdays.This time it's good, playing with other people's evaporation in the yard without a sound, which frightened Jian Ruoxi so much that her heart jumped.For a while, he thought of Liufang Pavilion's competitors in the business field, and for a while, he thought of the recently rumored prostitute who specializes in masculinity, and worried that Jian Ruolin had been bullied by others, and what kind of grievance he had suffered.

Jian Ruolin knew she was wrong, and saw that her elder brother really didn't want to talk to him, so she rushed forward a few steps, grabbed his elder brother's sleeve, and said softly, "Big brother, it's Ruo Lin's fault. Don't dare next time, big brother don't mad at me."

Jian Ruoxi was in a fit of anger, and wanted to shake off his sleeves and turn around to leave, but his younger brother tugged on his sleeves, looking cautious, annoyed and aggrieved, with such a pitiful voice, his anger disappeared all of a sudden, I can't harden my heart to show a cold face again.Slowing down his facial expression, he said: "Brother is not angry with you, but just worried about you... Forget it, don't go out like this again in the future, at least tell Big Brother first."

Jian Ruolin smiled and said, "Understood." She pulled her eldest brother inside, smiling sweetly.

Jian Ruoxi seemed to have hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "That Xiao Jingmo, although he is a frequent visitor to Liufang Pavilion, socializing and entertaining are inevitable on weekdays, but don't get too close. He is unknown, and he hangs around Huajie Liuxiang. Big brother doesn't want to, you and Deal with such people." The merchants and aristocrats in his business field have never liked to let Jian Ruolin get in touch with too much.

As long as it involves officialdom and power and wealth, which place can be cleaned up?As an elder brother, he habitually wants to support Jian Ruolin and let him live freely and comfortably.

Besides, I can't tell what it feels like, maybe because of the sensitivity of the businessman, Jian Ruoxi can always detect some unspeakable strangeness.

It seemed that seeing Xiao Jingmo wandering around Jian Ruolin made him feel uneasy and unhappy.His younger brother is too pure and gentle, the world is dangerous and unpredictable, how can he understand and guess it?

Jian Ruolin probably also understood the calculation in her brother's heart, and still replied: "I know."

But what came to mind was the scene of Xiao Jingmo sitting on the peach blossom tree in the small courtyard and laughing wildly, the setting sun was setting behind him, and the wind was blowing the hunting robe, so loose and wild.

I tossed and turned all night, and woke up the next day with a tired face.

When Xiao Si'er combed his hair, he asked in surprise: "Hey, sir, didn't you use the Jasper hairpin? When did you change it?"

With a thought, Jian Ruolin stretched out her hand to take it, a mahogany hairpin lay across her palm, and the touch was round.

Immediately, he thought of the person on the bank of the river who put his tenderness into the hairpin for him last night.

panicked.

Later, Xiao Si'er came in with his mouth pouted, holding a piece of peach blossom paper in his hand, muttering, "Master, it was sent by Mr. Xiao again."

Jian Ruolin waved Xiao Si'er out, but she sat quietly by herself.

The peach blossom note floating with a delicate fragrance is white and pink, and a thin piece is pasted on the table.

There were probably water stains on the table, and when Jian Ruolin picked it up to look at it, there were some wet marks on it.The wet part of the peach blossom paper was opened up by Yunze, revealing a fresh peach red.

Look at the words on it again, the words are tactful.Emotions are long, gentle and moving.

"Death and life are bound together. Talk to Zicheng. Hold your hand and grow old with your son."

What a heart-warming oath, Jian Ruolin imagined in ancient times, the couple holding hands and looking at each other, the two were in love, and the white prime minister was accompanying them.There is nothing more tempting than the promise of joining hands and growing old together.

Jian Ruolin simply dug out a stack of peach blossom notes pressed in the cabinet, and opened them one by one.

"What do you know when you miss each other? It's embarrassing at this night."

"When there is a beauty, you will never forget it when you see it. If you don't see it for a day, you will miss it like crazy."

"It's useless to be straight and lovesick, but it's okay to be melancholy."

"If you don't love lovesickness in your life, you will love it, and you will hurt lovesickness."

……

Inside the cabinet were the bright red headband and tassel waistband that the man gave him. Jian Ruolin took it out and stared at it for a while, then finally sighed softly. The look in her eyes seemed to be resigned to fate, but also seemed to make up her mind After the firm.

In the evening, the person who hadn't climbed over the wall and entered the house for many days, after the willful behavior last night, climbed in from outside the courtyard wall again.

As soon as he saw him, regardless of his dumbfounded appearance, he went straight up and took his hand and rubbed it in his arms, complaining: "How many times have I said, it's still cold in spring, don't sit alone in the yard at night , it is easy to catch cold."

Jian Ruolin was sickly when she was young, and her bones were not good, so she often had a chill in her body.When the weather is slightly cooler, the body is as cold as a block of ice.In the past, the eldest brother would hold him in his arms to keep him warm in winter, but as he got older, Jian Ruolin no longer suffered from serious and minor illnesses, and after having his own independent small courtyard, the warmth of sleeping with others like that, But never again.Up to now, only when the mad man in front of him "forcibly" approached him regardless of his wishes, and hugged him, could he feel the long-lost warmth.

Even if Xiao Jingmo felt that his demeanor was frivolous and his behavior was ambiguous, it was true, every word and every word was caring and protective.

"What are you doing here?" The opening remark was the same every time, but the tone was different today, it was not a question of displeasure, but a question in a soft voice.

"I took you out yesterday and caused you to be reprimanded by my brother. Today I came here specially to apologize to you." Anyway, he can always find an excuse. This is the new peach blossom brew from 'Jiu Zhai', it tastes sweet and mellow, very rare. It's not strong wine, so it doesn't matter if you drink too much."

Jian Ruolin watched him escape from a jar of wine like a magic trick, dragged him into the room, greeted him, took two wine glasses, and poured the wine.The transparent and reddish mellow wine has a very beautiful color, and it is full of appetite just by looking at it. It is packed in a white porcelain wine glass, which is clear and bright, very attractive.

He seldom drank wine on weekdays, and he would get drunk when he did, but since Xiao Jingmo said it was sweet wine made from peach blossoms, it shouldn't hurt to drink just a little.

Xiao Jingmo watched him take a small sip cautiously, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Jian Ruolin glared at him: "What are you laughing at?!"

Xiao Jingmo looked him up and down several times, and nodded frequently with a smile on his face: "Ruolin's face is radiant today, I like it very much, so I couldn't help laughing." Then when Jian Ruolin was embarrassed, she laughed frivolously: " I said earlier that Ruo Lin must be as beautiful as a fairy when dressed like this."

When Jian Ruolin was looking through the contents of the bookcase in the morning, by accident, she put on the hairband and waist that Xiao Jingmo gave him, and also made an exception and chose a luxurious and bright robe to match.There is no such thing as the usual rules and regulations, the hair is combed high and high, and the rigid hairstyle is fixed with a jade crown. Tonight, Jian Ruolin only uses a red headband to tie up her hair at work, and underneath is fine silky silk like a waterfall. , casually draped over the shoulders.

Under the belt is a fine tassel in the shape of a red pomegranate flower, and the decorated robe looks more graceful and gorgeous.

Compared with Jian Ruolin's previous elegance and blandness, she is more rare and magnificent.

Jian Ruolin is indeed an unparalleled beauty.

Thinking like this, Xiao Jingmo saw Jian Ruolin on the opposite side drinking a glass of wine in panic and embarrassment, and met his chasing eyes, then dodged and argued forcefully: "I just think it's a pity to let it go."

The room was quiet, Jian Ruolin had a few drinks in succession, resting her hands on the table, two strands of hair hung down from her forehead, covering her delicate and picturesque eyebrows.

Xiao Jingmo also poured himself a few glasses silently, and after finishing drinking, he said this to Jian Ruolin without saying a word.

The man sat there quietly, ignoring him with his head down. Fortunately, he was used to the man's silence and indifference, so he didn't mind, and he spoke happily on his own.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Xiao Jingmo boldly stretched out his hand, brushed aside the hair of the person opposite, and carefully looked at that beautiful face.

The man's eyes were closed, and there were two spots of blush on his face, which steamed from the inside out, a pinkish white color with a tinge of red.Her lips were pursed lightly, her breathing was smooth, and her entire face showed unsuspecting purity and innocence.

Xiao Jingmo stretched out his hand to push him, but he didn't move. He tried to pull him again, but he fell limply into his arms, talking nonsense.It's not like getting carried away after drinking, it's just a soft murmur.

It's just a few cups of low-purity peach blossom wine, but he has become drunk like this.

Fortunately, Jian Ruolin's wine was very good, she didn't cry or make noise, she just lay down quietly, rubbing against her body dissatisfied from time to time, and moaned or complained softly.So Xiao Jingmo held him in his arms openly, looking at him however he wanted.In my heart, I just think that Jian Ruolin's appearance is really cute, and I secretly regret that if I knew this, I should have drunk him with wine early in the morning.

Stretching out his hand to pat his face, Xiao Jingmo whispered in his ear: "Wake up, it's not enough after just a few drinks."

Jian Ruolin patted him away unwilling to be harassed, nestled her face into his chest, found a position that she thought was comfortable and rubbed against her, and was about to have a good night's sleep.

Xiao Jingmo reluctantly poured a cup of herbal tea, opened Jian Ruolin's mouth and poured it in.

The person with closed eyes was coughed a few times, opened his eyes in a daze, and finally regained some sense of sanity.

Xiao Jingmo hugged him and said: "Don't fall asleep like this, you'll have a headache tomorrow." Seemingly helpless, he complained: "The capacity for alcohol is so bad, it's still sweet wine... I'll ask Xiao Sier to give it to you later Make some hangover soup."

This person is always like this, seemingly romantic and ruthless, reckless and crazy, but always inadvertently, using tenderness as a weapon──soft knife to poke people, it is even more difficult to guard against.

Jian Ruolin closed her eyes again, the voices in her ears were noisy and confusing.

After a while, I heard Chanjuan's wild tone: "So what if I'm self-willed, I want to be with him, be together in a dignified manner."

After a while, I heard the madam of Hongxiufang sneer: "On the court of Fengyue, it's a joke every time. How can there be any sincerity?"

Then came Chanjuan's questioning again, as if putting all her eggs in one basket: "In life, if you don't take this gamble, don't take this step, how will you know what the final result will be?"

Then came the elder brother's worrying and earnest advice: "He is unknown, and he hangs around Huajie and Liuxiang. Eldest brother doesn't want you to deal with such a person."

In the end, only the man's voice was left, joking with incomparable seriousness and passion: "I like you."

Opening his eyes again, the person who said that, with a charming and handsome smiling face, was very close at hand.

Everyone knows the flirtatious man who is famous for his flirtatiousness, and the notoriously flirtatious nobleman.

Jian Ruolin's eyes showed fragility and struggle, she called his name in a trance, with a thousand turns in her heart, but the last words she uttered were a little bit terrified: "Xiao Jingmo... your sincerity, how can I do it?" How much is the letter?"

Before Xiao Jingmo could answer, Jian Ruolin's lips sealed his lips.
