236: Emotional
A short sentence stirred Xia Ruan Qingming's thoughts like a pot of paste.
She didn't even feel like she was her own, from her hair to her toes.
At this time, a trace of surprise slowly grew in her heart, and then this surprise slowly turned into some kind of surprise.
"You're back?"
A cold wind blew, and she regained a bit of reason.
The gloomy look in the young man's eyes gradually became hot, no longer the deep darkness of the past.
"Just come back." Xia Ruan quickly turned his head in embarrassment, "Why did you come here?" β
Xiao Jiu looked at her with a smile: "Because, I came back first alone, and I want to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with you." β
Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Jiu in shock, and looked carefully, his handsome face seemed to be a little tired.
It would not have been possible to get from Huaicheng to Kyoto in such a short time if you had traveled all the way, unless you ......
Xiao Jiu seemed to understand what she was thinking, and lowered her head and explained softly, "I met Chongli in Huai'an. β
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled faintly.
This smile made Xia Ruan feel a different taste.
Xia Ruan sighed secretly in his heart, Xiao Jiu's face was really ......
Soon she put aside these strange emotions and said slowly: "You left from Conghuai in advance?" β
The corners of Xiao Jiu's lips curved slightly: "I'm in Conghuai, you will be worried." β
Xia Ruan: "......"
She would love to retort, who would worry about you. But when she glanced at Chongli, she could only purse her lips and stop talking. She was indeed worried about Xiao Jiu. The bandits from this place are too arrogant, and it is not that there have been no court officials who have died here over the years. She asked Chongli to deliver the letter, hoping that Xiao Jiu could return to Kyoto later, after all, Fennel's words made her a little uneasy.
It's just that, at this time, she doesn't want to explain at all.
It seems that if you say too much, it will be a bit hypocritical.
"This is our first New Year, I want to be by your side, and I promise you. Will come back well. Now I do. Xiao Jiu smiled as he spoke, his words full of doting.
Xia Ruan's expression was slightly embarrassed, there were Du Lan and Ai Ye standing behind her, and Xiao Jiu was also standing next to Zhong Li and another little guy. But when he said these words. Almost all of these people were ignored.
Xia Ruan couldn't help but start recalling. Xiao Shaocheng in his previous life had such a time.
How did I go on a trip to Los Angeles and come back. Xiao Jiu's face seemed to be much thicker.
In the past, she felt that she thought that Xiao Jiu was like a gentle and jade gentleman, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"It's starting to snow again?" Xiao Jiu naturally didn't hear Xia Ruan's belly slander, and he stretched out his white and slender palm. Then the snowflakes fell from the sky, "Ah Ruan, do you want me to stand outside the house and talk?" β
The corners of Xia Ruan's mouth twitched, and then he said softly: "Let's go into the house and talk." β
She has always liked to be quiet, and her mother wanted to dial a few rings to her a few days ago, but she politely refused. With Duran and Aiye by her side now, it was enough for her. Therefore, when Duran and Ai Ye brought hot tea and pastries and retreated, Begonia Garden was completely quiet.
Xiao Jiu didn't seem to see that something was wrong with Xia Ruan, he held the teacup and took a sip of tea, his posture elegant. After a while, he said lightly: "I have already read the letter that Chongli gave me." Actually, I had already met the people of Cinnabar in Los Angeles. β
Xia Ruan was slightly stunned: "You and the Shi family, have you ever encountered trouble?" Jiang Tuo, he should tell you everything. β
"Well, the kid said it." Xiao Jiu's eyes were smiling, and he looked at Xia Ruan and said softly, "When I was in Los Angeles, I avoided his people. This time, General Weiyuan and I returned from Los Angeles, and we encountered a lot of trouble along the way, and every time my carriage broke down. So ......"
General Weiyuan is the title of the Song family's little general.
Xia Ruan's brows frowned slightly, and there was a little worry in his eyes: "So? β
Cinnabar is really going to stop Xiao Jiu's actions in Los Angeles, and now that Xiao Jiu has solved the biggest problem in Los Angeles, it is a big trouble for Cinnabar. Cinnabar has controlled several major families and water sources in Los Angeles over the years, so that many merchants in the Western Regions must rely on him, and now if these people no longer worry about the problem of water sources, then many of Cinnabar's subordinates will definitely leave. Moreover, there is also the Shi family......
Xiao Jiuru's picturesque eyebrows had a hint of ridicule: "So, the person General Weiyuan is bringing with him now is not me." I set off from Conghuai one step ahead of time, and met Chongli in Huai'an, I was afraid that you would always remember me, so after I came back, I came to Haitang Garden to find you. β
"Golden cicadas coming out of their shells?" The corners of Xia Ruan's mouth twitched, "Outsiders know that Lord Xiao will only appear in Beijing after the end of February, and now that you have returned early, General Weiyuan is still from Huaicheng...... If you do this, it will make General Weiyuan a little troublesome. β
Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I thought you were just more smart in business." β
Xia Ruan was stunned, turned his head and snorted coldly: "Then you really underestimate me." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized what she had said.
I have fallen into this man's trap again.
Sure enough, Xiao Jiu laughed softly: "Smart Ah Ruan, guess what I'm going to do next?" β
Xia Ruan rolled her eyes, she really dug a pit for herself to jump.
What Xiao Jiu will do next, she knows a little.
Xiao Jiu rushed back from Huaicheng ahead of schedule, somewhat because of the variables in Beijing. The eldest prince has been on the verge of making a move in recent days, Empress Jiang has been under house arrest, and the people of the Jiang family are obviously a little anxious. At this time, the Jiang family had become a mess, but even if Li An came forward to comfort the Jiang family, it would not have much effect. After all, the Jiang family is a woman, and her status in the Jiang family is naturally small.
Since the Jiang family was retired by Li Changfeng, it has become a shame for the Jiang family.
Uncle Guo had a stroke in bed, but Uncle Guo didn't have any problems, so he ......
What worries Xia Ruan the most is not the Jiang family's affairs, but the trouble that Yang Ge brought to Xiao Yixue in the past.
Xiao Yixue is Xiao Jiu's sister.
Back then, Xiao Yixue was forced by Nan Xiao's people to marry Zhang Yuelang as a concubine. What happened here, Xiao Jiu didn't come forward to stop it, and Xia Ruan didn't know it now. But later, after Xiao Yixue was driven crazy by the Zhang family, Zhang Yuelang finally took a break from Xiao Yixue. The girl who was like a flower in the day has now become a madman......
The reason why the Zhang family is so arrogant in Dongyang County is because Master Zhang is a protΓ©gΓ© of Yang Ge.
Xia Ruan still remembered that after the Zhang family was wiped out, Xiao Jiu cut off the right arm of Yang Han, the only son of Yang Ge. Yang Han's wife is Zeng Moqiu, the concubine of Rongguo Mansion, and now, Xiao Shaocheng not only offended Yang Gelao. even offended Rong Guogong.
And Rong Guogong is not a bystander. He is Zeng Guifei's biological father, and Zeng Guifei is the biological mother of the eldest prince.
At that time, Xiao Jiu and Li Changfeng dealt with the eldest prince together, and Emperor Jianguang had the intention of getting rid of the eldest prince, so he was naturally happy that someone would help him. It's just that. Because of this thing. In the past, Xiao Shaocheng was saddled with a reputation for being ruthless.
Xia Ruan looked at the gentle young man in front of him. She really didn't want him to be what he used to be.
It's too hideous.
Xia Ruan thought for a while: "General Weiyuan has always been a smart person, he will take the risk of letting you return early, there must be a reason." If I'm not mistaken. After General Weiyuan returns this time, he will not return to Los Angeles, and the Song family will have some things in the next few years. Also, you have a mind on the Great Prince? Should it be said that it is Yang Ge Lao? β
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jiu's eyes: "Do you know about Yang Ge Lao?" β
Xia Ruan nodded: "Actually, Du Ruo's medical skills are good, I think I can let Du Ruo try it." β
"I have that idea too." Xiao Jiu saw that Xia Ruan cared so much about his own affairs, and there was a thick smile on his eyebrows, and it seemed that the fatigue of rushing all the way back had disappeared because of her concern, "So I want to keep Dr. Du in the mansion for a few days, I don't know ...... you."
Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, and then smiled faintly.
Du Ming's medical skills are naturally better than Du Ruo's, and she almost forgot that Du Ruo is about to give birth now, how can she take care of Xiao Yixue? She was also too worried that Xiao Jiu would go on the previous path, so she didn't think about saying such a thing.
It's not like she used to be.
Xia Ruan thought for a while before saying, "This is naturally the best, but it's just Dr. Du's side...... After all, he didn't sell himself to the Xia family, let me tell him. β
Xiao Jiu saw Xia Ruan say these words, and said with a smile: "Doctor Du has agreed, I have brought back some medicinal materials from the Western Regions in Luocheng, and it just so happens that Doctor Du can study whether this medicinal material is useful to the third sister." β
Listening to Xiao Jiu's words, Xia Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yixue's matter was indeed a big blow to Xiao Jiu.
However, watching my sister walk into the wolf's den doesn't look like Xiao Jiu's style.
Xia Ruan naturally didn't know about this.
But Xiao Yixue married into the Zhang family as a concubine, which did bring a lot of benefits to Nan Xiao and Xiao Jiu.
Xia Ruan subconsciously tightened his clothes, Xiao Jiu is a concubine, and his life in Nan Xiao must be unsatisfactory.
But this man has never shown weakness in front of anyone......
"That's good." After a while, Xia Ruan said lightly.
Xiao Jiu looked at Xia Ruan and said gently, "Ah Ruan, it seems that I came back early, which is completely the right choice." You're really worried about me......"
When Xia Ruan heard this, he couldn't help blushing a little.
This sentence sounds too ambiguous.
This atmosphere made her a little overwhelmed.
She got up from her chair and pretended to be calm: "You have been running all the way, you should be hungry, I ...... I went to the kitchenette to see what else was dish. β
When Xiao Jiu saw that Xia Ruan was leaving, he thought he had said the wrong thing.
He couldn't help but be anxious, and quickly got up from the chair, quickened his steps and walked to Xia Ruan's side, grabbing her hand.
Time seemed to stand still.
The touch from the palm of his hand made Xia Ruan feel that his head was blank...... (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
