Chapter XI

Who would choose to visit their father today? Rulin can't think of anyone who will come, it should be her father's old friend. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

She had no intention of meeting the visitors, so she got up and prepared to take the two maids to avoid it first.

The three of them decided to walk a short distance up the hill along the path, find a flat place to rest for a while, and pick up the empty bamboo and wine utensils on the ground. Just followed Rulin and walked up the steps, the woman's speed was slow, and she had just walked less than ten steps, when there was a sound of footsteps behind her.

The person who came was a man, followed by a small guy, today he deliberately came very early, I didn't expect someone to be earlier than him, looking at the woman who was curling Tingting up the mountain, he didn't plan to disturb it, maybe it was the girl and daughter-in-law on the Zhuangzi near here.

Rulin was a little curious in her heart, and when she came to a corner, she inadvertently turned her head to look over, this one! It stiffens her whole body and her blood flows backwards.

It's Xu Jingsheng!

Fourteen years have passed, time has passed, and life has been separated for so long. She never met him again after she got married, and after her mother died, he also managed to send a few letters to the house one after another, but at that time, Rulin had already made the decision to keep her life hard, Ning Mu was not her love, Xu Jingsheng should not love. Several letters that could not be opened were all burned.

At just one glance, she could see that he had changed a lot, he was wearing a white robe with delicate dark lines and matte finishes, his body was slender, and the temperament exuded from his body was even more noble. He has always given people the impression of being like this, calm and humble, and once Rulin thought that he could make a private teaching with her that kind of thing might really be an arrangement of fate in the dark, so that Xu Jingsheng also liked her warmly. Now it seems that it may have been deliberately arranged.

Speaking of a long time, in fact, it was only a moment, Rulin instinctively wanted to avoid it quickly, but this turn also made Xu Jingsheng see her.

"Madam, are you Rulin's cousin?" Xu Jingsheng still recognized her at a glance, how could someone who grew up with childhood sweethearts not recognize her?

Because of the Bizhu and Bitao beside her, Rulin tried her best to be very calm, holding Bizhu's hand and slowly descending the steps, and walked slowly in front of Xu Jingsheng, "I've seen Lord Xu." ”

Looking at it closely, it is still the same face back then, the precipitation of the years has not affected its demeanor, Xu Jingsheng and Ning Mu are both rare good looks, but they are two completely different types.

Ning Mu's silhouette was more resolute and three-dimensional, his eyes were brighter and more cunning, and as he grew older, he suppressed this kind of fierceness appropriately, forming an invisible weapon that was handy. Xu Jingsheng, on the other hand, is relatively fairer, with softer facial features, and no aggression from Ning Mu, and over the years, he has also cultivated this kind of friendly and harmless aura more and more naturally. In terms of appearance alone, Xu Jingsheng is the type that can easily capture the hearts of most women.

In Xu Jingsheng's eyes, Rulin has also changed to a certain extent, she is like a completely different person compared to back then, she was still a girl back then, she was lively and smart, innocent, slender, and radiant! And in front of her, her facial features and body have completely grown, she is a very beautiful and moving young woman, quiet and graceful, but she is not the Xue Rulin that Xu Jingsheng knew back then. Hehe, aunt and uncle, is this your good arrangement?

“…… Rulin's cousin, I haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect to meet again but here, it's been fourteen years, how are you doing? ”

Rulin maintains peace on the surface, but how can she not make waves in her heart? In fact, it has long been turbulent, and it is impossible to distinguish between those emotions of love and obsession, which have been vaguely blurred under the whip of the years. At this moment, the parents are lying next to them, and the biggest suspect is standing in front of them, smiling and greeting you are okay? How is she?

It doesn't matter if she was bad or good in the past, but she must be good in the future, and she waits to greet him back in the future.

"Back to Lord Xu, I'm doing well." Rulin clearly wanted to distance herself.

Xu Jingsheng looked very sad, "Cousin, do you and I need to be so unfamiliar?" Between you and me...... Can't you call me cousin anymore? ”

"Lord Xu laughed, it was all when I was a child, and now I can't call out the word cousin anymore, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so don't worry about it with me." Rulin said sadly, facing the tombstone of her parents, facing Xu Jingsheng sideways.

She didn't call his cousin again, not because she avoided suspicion, not because of hatred, but because 'cousin' was a beautiful symbol in her memory, a most beautiful dream. At one point she erased the symbol completely, and she could never draw it again.

Xu Jingsheng looked at her good-looking side face and swallowed the words in his heart.

Ru Lin didn't want to be in such an indescribable silence, so she took the initiative to ask, "Lord Xu lives in the household department and is busy with affairs, why did you choose to come up to the mountain today to visit your father and mother?" ”

"I still remember that today is my uncle's birthday, he used to take me and Ning Mu here early in the morning, after this hillside, there is a stream in the valley, he personally went down to the river to take us to catch fish, the fish fat of the stream, caught a basket just dawn, and then took us back, just in time for the cook to prepare the lunch meal." Xu Jingsheng looked at Xue Jin's tombstone, and slowly described the past, the past was like a flash, as if he could still hear the bright laughter of the master and apprentice in the stream.

Xu Jingsheng has an impression of what Rulin said, but he doesn't know that this is a show that they have every year, she is a girl, her younger brother is young, and her father and two apprentices spend more time together than her two biological children.

Once there is a thorn in my heart, the more I feel that I can't listen to these beautiful things. Once confirmed, the more beautiful it was, the more unbearable and difficult it was to face.

The pointed nails pierced into the palms of her hands, but Rulin didn't feel pain, nothing hurt more than her heart, her father, who didn't know the sorrows of the world, always took them to study and bring happiness and joy to them, his old man was underground, did he know that this was the result now?

She reminded herself to stay awake enough, and the person standing next to her was really not a cousin who had no guesses, but someone she wanted to get to know again. She still needs to deal with him, both to find a way to test him and get to the bottom of him, but not to make him suspicious.

She's going to fight alone, with no one to stand by her side.

"After you got married, I wrote a few letters to you, did you receive them?" Xu Jingsheng asked.

"Roger." Bizhu was looking here, and Rulin's voice was lower.

"Then why don't you write me back? Is it because of Ning Mu? He never received a reply back then, and he always thought that it was a letter sent by Ning Mu, and the letter fell into his hands.

"No, I don't think it's pointless to keep the lotus root broken anymore, it's not good for you and me." That's true.

"So those letters are still in your hands?" Xu Jingsheng's slightly eager.
