Chapter 81: Peach Blossoms

Whenever the peach blossoms first bloom, Yu Ruoxu can feel a little bit of the coming breath of spring.

There is a garden in the eastern suburbs, which was originally a royal garden, the first emperor felt that it was too deserted, but a little lifeless, so he issued an order to open grace and allow other noble children to enter the garden to play, and later it gradually became a resting place for the royal family in the capital.

And the most famous in the garden is the hundreds of peach trees. Every spring, the pink peach forest flowers bloom like a brocade, quite a peach blossom paradise-like illusion.

Yu Ruoxu looked at the peach blossoms in the sky, and couldn't help but be a little stupid.

She suddenly remembered the peach blossoms of Hechuan Academy, because the academy is on the mountain, so the flowering period is relatively late, when the world is full of fragrant flowers in April, the peach blossoms of the academy are still scorching.

Suddenly, someone blindfolded her, Yu Ruoxu was stunned, and felt some thin calluses on the palm covering her eyes, but the palm was warm and dry, just like that person was used to.

"I didn't invite you to see the peach blossoms if I knew it earlier." A low voice came from behind his ear, "I can't wait to see you, so I asked you out, but you stopped here to see the scenery." ”

Yu Ruoxu laughed out loud, "It turns out that there are really people in this world who are jealous of Peach Blossom." ”

Liang Jin let go of her gently, and Yu Ruoxu looked back and saw that he was dressed in an aqua blue robe, and his face became more and more like a crown of jade.

"I'm really jealous of Peach Blossom." Liang Jin sighed helplessly, "For some reason, since my father agreed to our marriage, I especially want you to pass through the door immediately, so that I can see you every day." ”

Yu Ruoxu was blushing by him, "You want to be beautiful, I can't be married to you so easily...... What if you get bored with me in the future? ”

It was originally a joke, but Liang Jin suddenly became serious and swore to the sky, "Absolutely not!" I, Liang Jin, swear here, if I ...... in the future"

Yu Ruoxu was taken aback by his serious appearance, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve, "I'm just joking, why are you serious?" And swear to God? ”

Liang Jin saw her white and slender fingers clasped on his sleeve, and he could faintly see the red scars, "I'm just afraid that you will think too much." ”

"Where do I think about it again?" Yu Ruoxu gently withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "None of us can say what the future holds, at least now I know...... You are my beloved, and that is enough. β€œ

After that, Yu Ruoxu's ears were all red, and the pink earlobes were almost dripping blood.

What's wrong with her? My former self would never have been able to say such a thing!

Liang Jin saw her shy face, the smile on the corner of her mouth continued to expand and deepen, and then took her hand, "I'll take you over there to see the peach blossoms." ”

"Okay."

"I'll come with you every year from now on."

"Okay."

The crimson color of the garden almost half of the sky was a pink hue.

"Ruoxu." Liang Jin asked with some hesitation, "Can you tell me about your affairs in Hechuan Academy?" ”

Yu Ruoxu paused and looked up at him. Liang Jin saw her expression flickering, so he sighed, "You...... If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. ”

Yu Ruoxu looked down at her toes, and said lightly, "There are also a lot of peach trees planted in the academy, and every year when the flowers bloom, the master will take everyone to compose poems and lyrics together under the trees, and that is also the happiest day for everyoneβ€”because on this day, there is finally no need to write silently." ”

Yu Ruoxu remembered the days of silent writing, so she smiled bitterly, "Do you know how strict Mr. Yue is? He usually seems to be amiable, and often teases students, known as the first old urchin in Langzhong, but if he makes a mistake in the silent writing, the gentleman will laugh and ask you to rewrite it ten times, and if you can't finish it, you will not be allowed to leave the class. ”

"Sometimes I think I'd rather him give me a lecture with a straight face than see him sit next to me with a smile on his face, staring at me silently."

"I met Mr. Yue with my father before." Liang Jin recalled, "At that time, I felt that this famous Confucian was completely opposite to the stern appearance I imagined, and when I left, my husband patted me on the shoulder and encouraged me to continue to forge ahead." ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, remembering that it was that time, Liang Jieyu, who was dressed as Liang Jin's scholar, saw Yue Zirong, and then thought about it for so many years.

"At that time, I was the youngest junior sister in the academy, and everyone took good care of me." Yu Ruoxu lowered her eyelashes, "Senior Brother Zirong is Mr. Yue's only son, and he is the senior brother of the entire academy, so he is even more partial to me. β€œ

After all, she was a little afraid to look him in the eye.

"Ruoxu, it's okay." Liang Jin's warm voice came from above his head, "Siren is gone, I just want to know your complete past." β€œ

Yu Ruoxu raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were dark and bright, as gentle as a spring lake.

"Senior Brother is talented and upright, and he is respected by the entire academy." Yu Ruoxu continued, "It's a pity...... Those who are bright are easy to stain, and those who are easy to break. β€œ

"I've heard a little about the rebellion in Langzhong." Liang Jin said in a low voice, "But then the news seems to have been suppressed, and there are all kinds of theories." β€œ

Yu Ruoxu nodded, "That's right...... After that incident, Senior Brother Zirong and other senior brothers were arrested, my father and Mr. Yue have been friends for many years, and Mr. Yue is my mentor, so the Yu family naturally will not sit idly by and decide to rob the prison secretly. ”

"Prison robbery?"

"Hmm." Yu Ruoxu said gloomily, "It's a pity that the news leaked, and Liang Shen, the Taishou at that time, took the life of his senior brother to blackmail the Yu family, and asked his father to hand over the Yu family's gold mine to him." β€œ

Liang Jin was a little surprised, "It turns out that there is such a thing." β€œ

"I didn't expect Liang Shen to be greedy for money to this extent, and he actually wanted to move the foundation of the Yu family." Yu Ruoxu gritted his teeth and said, "Daddy is really in a dilemma due to the pressure of the clan, Senior Brother Zirong knew Liang Shen's wishful thinking in prison, so he ...... Committed suicide. β€œ

"He said, in this way, no one can threaten the Yu family with him anymore."

Liang Jin sighed, "Gongzi Yue is really arrogant. ”

Yu Ruoxu said leisurely, "Langzhong folk customs, only those who have committed heinous crimes will choose to commit suicide, so in order to protect the reputation of Senior Brother Zirong, plus there are too many cases involved, so the Yu family will suppress the real process of this matter, and they don't want outsiders to talk too much, let alone let the court interfere." ”

Liang Jin nodded, "I see." ”

"That's my past." Yu Ruoxu said in a low voice, "I witnessed all this, and I felt like my heart was dead at that time, so I left the academy from then on, and then Mr. Yue's health became worse and worse because of the loss of his son, and gradually faded out of the eyes of the world...... Soon after, I went to Beijing with my father, and you know what happened after that. ”

Liang Jin looked down at her and was silent.

It's not that simple...... She must have hidden something from him.

But she was willing to let her guard down and tell him these things, and he was satisfied.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Ruoxu was a little flustered for no reason, "What's wrong with you?" β€œ

"It's fine." Liang Jin covered the loss in his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for recalling those bad things." β€œ

Yu Ruoxu smiled lightly and pretended to be relaxed, "Then how do you want to compensate me?" ”

Liang Jin thought about it seriously, "Do you want me to hug you?" ”

"What?"

As soon as the words fell, Liang Jin firmly hugged her into his arms.

Yu Ruoxuan's face was pressed against his chest, and the tip of her nose lingered with the smell of agarwood incense, and she vaguely remembered that on Chinese New Year's Eve, when she was crying silently in the kitchen to dumplings, Liang Jin also hugged her tightly like this.

He was not good at comforting people, and every time he tried to coax her, he failed, but he always had a way to stop the pain in her heart, just like now.

"Liang Jin."

"Huh?"

"Nothing." Yu Ruoxu was a little embarrassed, because his face was buried in his arms, so his voice was a little muffled, "Actually...... I want to marry you soon, too. ”

Liang Jin didn't hear clearly, "Actually, what?" ”

Yu Ruoxu was really embarrassed to say it again, so she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, "It's nothing." ”
