The night grew deeper.

Du Ruo retreated from the room, and the room was extremely quiet.

Xia Ruan's eyes widened, but she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She never thought that she and her mother had been in the game all along, and that she ......

Cinnabar, cinnabar...... The name is like a magic barrier.

When she died in her previous life, she didn't hear what the end of this person was.

In this life, can she go to the bottom?

She slowly closed her eyes—

"Mother, can you rest here?" The girl's immature voice came, "It's raining heavily. ”

Li smiled and nodded helplessly: "Okay, what Ah Ruan says is what it is, there is Anling Temple in front, and my mother will take you to shelter from the rain." ”

Nine years ago, Li took Xia Ruan back from Zhuangzi, but encountered heavy rain on the way, and because of Xia Ruan's proposal, he had to hide from the rain in Anling Temple.

Li believes in Buddhism, these years to donate incense money to Anling Temple, the old abbot saw Li and hurriedly greeted him: "The donor, please." ”

Li took Xia Ruan and walked in slowly, Xia Ruan was the first time to Anling Temple, curious to see the surrounding scenery, all the novel things made her very interested. The way she looked around, the Li family couldn't help laughing, and Cuiliu looked at Xia Ruan's appearance on the side, and also laughed.

After the last time, the Li family and the abbot were talking, and Xia Ruan took advantage of his mother's accident and ran out of Lu with Cuiliu.

Although Anling Temple is not big, the terrain is a little complicated, and Xia Ruan never thought that he would run around and get lost with Cuiliu.

Her desire to play at the moment gradually disappeared, and she called around with some worry: "Sister Cuiliu...... Mother......"

With small steps, Xia Ruan didn't know how long he had been walking. She only felt some pain in her legs, and she didn't notice it at all. I didn't seem to see anyone on the road.

When she tried to leave, she heard a low sob.

I don't know where the courage came from. She slowly walked in the direction where the cry came from, and saw a little boy crouched under the rockery, his hair already messy.

The rain was a little heavy, and she gritted her teeth before walking over, with a hint of curiosity: "What are you crying for?" ”

The boy raised his head, his eyes clear, but he did not speak.

Xia Ruan thought about it, waited for a while, and then took out a paper bag from his cuff and handed it to the boy: "I cried when I fell last time, and Aunt Zheng said that it wouldn't hurt if I ate this." Would you like to try it? ”

The boy seemed to be frightened by her, and his face turned a little pale.

Xia Ruan felt that the boy didn't believe her words, so he could only open the paper bag helplessly, and then handed the ripe mulberries to the boy: "It's delicious, it's very sweet, give it to you." ”

She didn't notice that when she ate the mulberries, her teeth and lips were already dark red, and she looked a little embarrassed.

After the last day, she heard Cuiliu's voice calling her before dropping the paper bag to the boy. Then he instructed: "Don't cry, Aunt Zheng said that this green is not ripe, you must not eat it." ”

After saying that, she ran away, but forgot to talk to the boy about other things.

……

Mulberry, summer, heavy rain, Anling Temple......

Xia Ruan woke up sweating profusely. She found that the dream was even more terrifying than a nightmare.

She had forgotten who the crying boy was hiding under the rockery, and she seemed to ......

Xia Ruan rubbed her eyebrows, how could she not remember!

The figure of the crying boy in the dream gradually overlapped with Xiao Jiu. They all have the same long and thick eyelashes......

Did Xiao Jiu know her at that time?

Xia Ruan was a little surprised.

If Xiao Jiu had always known the Dao...... A trace of sweat broke out in Xia Ruan's palms.

In her previous life, when she rescued Xiao Jiu, was it at that time that the person knew who she was. In his previous life, Xiao Jiu would always mention that he was rejected from his family. Said that the young lady didn't seem to like him very much. Was it at that time, I knew that she was actually ......

Xia Ruan didn't dare to think about it. Because she found that this person seemed to be hiding a lot of things from her, whether it was in the past life or in this life, this person always had so many things suppressed in her heart.

This night, Xia Ruan couldn't sleep anymore.

The sky gradually brightened, and when Du Ruo entered the house, he saw Xia Ruan wearing a coat and sitting on the couch in a daze, as if he was thinking about things.

"Miss, are you unwell somewhere?" Du Ruo asked with some concern.

But it was Du Ruo's words that made Xia Ruan blush a little, and she waved her hand: "I have nothing to do, you go to fetch water, I want to wash." ”

Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan, somewhat puzzled, and his face turned red? This must be sick, why didn't the young lady let her take the pulse?

When Du Ruo walked out, Xia Ruan slowly stood up.

How do you want her to say these things? Could it be that she thought about herself in the house all night? She found it hard to talk about.

She finally understood what the mulberries sent by Xiao Jiu meant.

Over the years, the eldest uncle has always wanted to do business with Cinnabar, but Cinnabar is not a good person, and he feels bothered to even take a look at things that are useless to him. The reason why Cinnabar will do business with her eldest uncle is because Cinnabar knows the identity of her mother. Cinnabar supported the Six Princes in the early stage, but Cinnabar did not give money to the Six Princes, but only provided some goods. Cinnabar and Dong Xiao are close, perhaps because of the six princes, and the biggest problem is also here.

The person who can suppress Dong Xiao's Xiao Anli, except for the third uncle, is Xiao Jiu in the coming day.

But Xiao Jiu is just a talent now, he is not even a lifter, and it will take a few years for him to appear in front of the current saint. The pressure of the third uncle over the years, Xia Ruan can imagine.

Especially the lobby uncle Li Yunmo, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.

Du Ruo brought water, and when he waited for Xia Ruan to freshen up, he was relieved to see that Xia Ruan did not have a trace of abnormality.

Instead, Xia Ruan couldn't help but speak: "Du Ruo, you remember to tell Du Lan that I will personally take care of this pot of eighteen scholars." ”

"Miss, how can this be done?" Du Ruo didn't think about it, so he persuaded. "Duran will be careful."

Xia Ruan shook her head, she knew how to explain to Du Ruo.

What the Twelve Princes wanted. Now that it's in her hands, I wonder what the county lord of Lu Dao will think?

This time, the third uncle must have offended the twelve princes. Although if he waited a few more years, the third uncle would naturally not take it seriously. But now the Li family seems to be calm, but the dark tide is turbulent.

The death of his grandfather will definitely make the Li family turbulent for a while, and the third uncle will definitely not be able to get away from dealing with these, if Dong Xiao and Cinnabar give the third uncle some more pressure, I don't know what will become of the third uncle of Lu Dao at that time. There is also the Jiang family, who is simply a dou who can't be supported, and there is no one who is angry.

Little by little, the things of the past reappeared in front of Xia Ruan's eyes, and she found herself facing these again. I felt depressed panic in my heart.

Xia Ruan couldn't help but walk towards the courtyard......

The morning breeze carries the fragrance of camellias, which is refreshing.

There are a lot of camellia flowers in the yard, and the purple and red are very eye-catching.

Xiao Jiu is a powerful person, and he has put a lot of thought into planting camellias, so these camellias are actually just needed to be taken care of with a little snack.

She really didn't take care of these camellia in person these days, if it wasn't for Du Ruo's reminder, she would have almost forgotten that there were so many things in her yard.

"Miss. How did you get here? Duran straightened up, still with some dirt on her hands, and she smiled stupidly, then a little overwhelmed. Slave maid, fertilizing camellias. ”

Xia Ruan nodded and stepped aside. looked at the eighteen bachelors sent by Xiao Jiu.

I have to say that this pot of camellia really attracted her attention, she had only heard of this kind of camellia in the palace before. But I haven't seen it myself. She looked at it with some curiosity for a while, and felt that Xiao Jiu had sent something. It's getting more and more difficult for her to guess.

If sending mulberries is to remind her, then what are these camellias for?

Seeing that Xia Ruan didn't speak, Du Lan couldn't help but smile: "Miss, do you know the origin of this camellia?" ”

Xia Ruan glanced at Du Lan with some confusion: "What is the reason?" ”

Hearing Xia Ruan's question, Duran was even more energetic.

She didn't care about it at all, wiped the dirt on her hand on the cotton clothes, and held the champion red who was put aside in front of Xia Ruan's eyes, before she said slowly: "Miss also knows that the ancestor is the imperial hospital envoy of the previous dynasty, and he told his grandfather about this before...... At that time, Emperor Yuan Wen liked a woman very much, but this woman was kept in the dark, and he didn't know that the person in front of him was the current Emperor Yuan Wen. Later, Emperor Yuan Wen unintentionally asked this young lady once, what kind of man does it take to make her tempted? The young lady thought for a long time before saying that the person who could grow the champion red and the eighteen bachelors for her was the one who was sincere to her. ”

Xia Ruan thought it was interesting when she heard it, and continued to ask, "Do you have any explanations?" Why do you have to have these two pots of camellias? ”

Du Lan smiled a little proudly, and said proudly: "Emperor Yuan Wen of the previous dynasty didn't like camellias, so there weren't many people who planted these. Zhuangyuanhong and Eighteen Bachelors are difficult to raise well, and they will wither if they don't pay attention to it. The meaning of that young lady is that if someone is so sincere to her like caring for a camellia, then she is the one worth marrying. Later, Emperor Yuan Wen really planted these two pots of camellia and gave them to this young lady, but ......"

Duran said this and said no more.

Xia Ruan understood what Du Lan meant, because Emperor Yuan Wen of the previous dynasty was the last emperor......

"What happened to Emperor Wen of the Empress Yuan and that young lady?" Xia Ruan still couldn't help but ask.

Du Ruo answered on the side: "After the last time, Emperor Yuan Wen asked people to protect this young lady and left, but because he wanted to protect this young lady, Emperor Yuan Wen was burned alive in the palace. Although Emperor Yuan Wen is the emperor, he is sincere to this young lady. ”

Xia Ruan looked at Du Ruo in shock, not knowing how to speak.

She looked at the champion red in Duran's hand, and then at the eighteenth bachelor who was resting on the side, a little at a loss.

How so...... (To be continued......) (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
