Chapter 122: Little Star Flower
"What's going on? Did you know each other before? Lan Jiuqing was very surprised, so he asked Qi Gongzi and Playboy, but the two of them never said.
The three of them told him to ask Jiang Rujin when Jiang Rujin came out, and now when he saw Jiang Rujin come out, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Jiang Rujin and Jiang Xingchen glanced at each other, but Jiang Xingchen didn't hide it: "This is my cousin and the daughter of my fourth uncle's family, because something happened so I moved to Yuzhou City, and I haven't seen her for more than a year." ”
Four uncles? Lan Jiuqing's eyes lit up and said: "I mean that I feel a little familiar when I see Miss Jin's appearance, it turns out that I saw it in the Jiang family in the early years, and the little girl who cried in the back garden was you." Lan Jiuqing didn't know what kind of words to use to describe her surprise at this moment.
He felt that this was the most surprising thing he had ever seen, he never thought that Jiang Rujin was actually the girl who bumped into him in the back garden of Jiang's house, and he still remembered the appearance of crying and despair at the beginning.
But I didn't expect that everything had changed in just over a year, Jiang Rujin seemed to be stronger than when she saw her, and seemed to be smarter and more capable than when he saw her.
At this point, he was actually a little curious, and he couldn't wait to know what happened to Jiang Rujin.
Jiang Rujin smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't think about hiding the prince's ...... Some things are unavoidable, and I ask the prince to forgive me. ”
Lan Jiuqing's heart hurt, and he didn't know why he felt so sorry for Jiang Rujin, this feeling was not the kind of pain that was fleeting, but there were a lot of thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say but couldn't say it. There are many words of pity that I want to say, but I can only reach my mouth and finally swallow them back.
He knew it was uncomfortable, but he ......
"How can I blame you about this matter of your peace of mind, you also said that you have to do things like you, since you have to do it, you can naturally understand."
He was naturally reluctant to blame Jiang Rujin, and Jiang Rujin's ability to do this could only prove that she did not treat him as an outsider, which was enough.
Jiang Xingchen echoed: "Lord Wang, you have been standing outside for so long, do you want to come into the house and sit down?" ”
Just now, the two of them were in the courtyard, and they only thought about the old days, but they didn't expect that a few people had been waiting outside.
Jiang Rujin also felt that it was always better to go into the house and talk, so he said: "It's really a bit of a sin to forget that you are still waiting outside after reminiscing about the old days." ”
Because everyone was not in the mood because of the matter of falling into the pond, Hua Ruyan stepped forward to walk side by side with Jiang Rujin, and saw that Jiang Rujin had nothing to do, so he was relieved.
They went into the house together. Lan Jiuqing was still very curious about Jiang Rujin. But thinking of the difficulties Jiang Rujin encountered at the beginning, he can also think of the greasy backyard of the Jiang family.
As long as you think about it a little more carefully, why Jiang Rujin left the Jiang family, it is not difficult to find that Jiang Rujin must have been bullied in the Jiang family.
Otherwise, how could he have traveled so far to get here?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible, he knew how noisy the Jiang family's backyard was, and occasionally Jiang Xingchen would say something, and he would probably be able to guess what the situation was like.
Jiang Xingchen said: "For so many years, it is really because I have lost too much money. ”
He looked at the prince and said this, which surprised everyone.
Jiang Rujin glanced at Jiang Xingchen stupidly. I don't understand why Jiang Xingchen said this. I was really surprised.
Jiang Xingchen continued: "This matter will end here. Rujin doesn't want to go home now, and I really don't want to force Rujin to go back, so I ask everyone to keep it secret, and I don't think I saw Rujin. ”
He knew that except for Lan Jiuqing, who was present, he might not know Jiang Rujin's identity, but in fact, the other three people had already known about Jiang Rujin.
Qi Gongzi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Jiang Gongzi." Rujin ...... Some things are in the past, and it's rare that you can respect Rujin's thoughts, and I'm really grateful. ”
Hua Ruyan also said gratefully, and even Hua Zhicheng, who hadn't spoken much, said words of thanks.
Jiang Rujin was very touched that he had really made a group of good friends, and now he really feels good to have these friends with him.
Jiang Xingchen became more and more guilty, thinking that he was still Jiang Rujin's cousin but couldn't do what other friends did, standing beside Jiang Rujin to help Jiang Rujin and support Jiang Rujin.
Lan Jiuqing felt that something was wrong in the room, and hurriedly said: "Everyone don't have to think about anything else, the matter is over, everything has to look forward." ”
This persuasion carries a lot of weight, and everyone is talking about other things.
When she came out of the palace, she was so relaxed, and she was a little excited when she thought that she could leave here tomorrow.
She really misses Chen.
I haven't received any letters from Chen recently, and I don't know what Chen is doing at home, and to be honest, she really doesn't want Chen to worry about her too much.
Qi Gongzi saw the smile on Jiang Rujin's face and said, "Why did you suddenly laugh, what happy things came of mind to tell me?" ”
He likes to see Jiang Rujin smile, so he really wants to know what Jiang Rujin is thinking, maybe he just wants to share Jiang Rujin's joy.
Jiang Rujin shook his head and smiled but didn't say any more, Jiang Xingchen caught up with a little guilt: "Rujin, you said you are leaving tomorrow?" He asked with some worry, and he was a little reluctant to leave Jiang Rujin like this, after all, there was a difference between them when they first met.
Jiang Rujin didn't deny it, nodded with a slight smile: "Yes, I'm going to leave here tomorrow." ”
Jiang Xingchen was a little reluctant when he heard this: "Don't you plan to stay and play for a few more days, don't leave tomorrow, my brother will take you around." ”
He wanted to give Jiang Rujin some care, which could be regarded as making up for Jiang Rujin, at least in his opinion, the things that the Jiang family did were really excessive.
And he is also full of curiosity about Jiang Rujin, what kind of opportunity has made Jiang Rujin transform in just over a year.
From a little girl who doesn't know anything to a capable person now.
He was full of curiosity about Jiang Rujin in his heart and wanted to know about Jiang Rujin, but if Jiang Rujin left, he didn't know when he would be able to meet.
promised Jiang Rujin what he did, and he would do it with his heart. So now the mood is very complicated, and I don't know how to leave Jiang Rujin.
Jiang Rujin touched Jiang Xingchen's eyes and smiled: "Cousin, thank you for your kindness, I know that you are kind enough to ask me to stay, if I don't stay, I will be a little ignorant, so it's okay to say a place early tomorrow morning, I will come to you, and I am not in a hurry to leave the day after this day, what do you think?" ”
She also changed her mind temporarily, mainly because she thought that Jiang Xingchen now knew her existence, if she didn't show weakness in front of Jiang Xingchen, she was afraid that Jiang Xingchen would have other ideas, she didn't want to be exposed so early, not to mention that now that the Chen family was still in Yuzhou City, she was worried that if she knew about her family, she would come to Yuzhou City one step earlier than her, so Jiang Xingchen had to be placed here. In this way, she can go back with peace of mind.
Qi Gongzi and Playboy were very surprised, Jiang Rujin actually agreed to stay. Both of them have retained Jiang Rujin, but Jiang Rujin has no intention of staying, but now it is just a sentence, Jiang Rujin decided to stay, and it is really amazing not to leave for the time being.
Jiang Xingchen was very happy and said excitedly: "As long as you stay, you can say anything, so that tomorrow you can stay with peace of mind, I will definitely entertain you properly, you rarely come to the capital, I will take you around." ”
He himself was a little excited, and he couldn't tell why he was so excited. may have thought that I could walk around with Jiang Rujin, and I was happy in my heart.
After all, it would be a good thing for Jiang Rujin to stay.
Jiang Rujin smiled and didn't continue. She saw Jiang Xingchen get into the carriage and leave. Then she turned around and saw the three of them looking at her in surprise.
Hua Ruyan's heart was straightforward, and there was nothing to be subtle in front of Jiang Rujin, so he said: "Xiao Qiao, we taught you to stay before, and you didn't stay, but now people say that you leave you are too uninteresting." ”
She said and looked at the other side arrogantly, obviously a little unhappy that Jiang Rujin did this.
Jiang Rujin saw that Hua Ruyan was angry, and sighed helplessly and comforted: "Sister Ruyan, don't be angry." Promised him is also a last resort, now he knows who I am, wouldn't it be dangerous to go back and talk nonsense about my mother and brother, you also know the bad things in my family, and only Jiang Xingchen is better in the Jiang family, and no one else ....... She thought of this and sneered, no one else said it, she said that it was really those crooked melons and cracked dates, and all of them were very bad.
Hua Ruyan sighed, not knowing how to say it at all.
They all know about Jiang Rujin, so they know the helplessness in Jiang Rujin's heart.
It's still early now, and they are very familiar with each other now, although Qi Gongzi didn't have much contact with Hua Zhicheng before, but now they are together, so they are very satisfied with each other, and the other party has naturally become a friend who talks about everything.
Hua Zhicheng still wanted to stay with Jiang Rujin for a while, but he was embarrassed to say something, so he had to say under the guise of "It's still early, should we go around, I heard that the scenery by the river is very beautiful recently, do you want to go and see it together?" ”
This was echoed by flowers; "Don't you say that I forgot that I heard a maid talk about this a few days ago, but I have been busy during this time and I haven't had time to see it, such as Jin, you have come to the city, so you don't have to worry about the things in Yuzhou City, stay with peace of mind, and leave the day after tomorrow, you must have fun when you play now, otherwise how can you be worthy of coming here."
This made Jiang Rujin deeply infected, yes, now that he has come here, he has to have a good time, otherwise he is really sorry that he is not.
said with a smile: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, let's go to the riverside, Qi Gongzi, you don't have anything to do anyway, so let's go together." ”
As soon as she spoiled Qi Gongzi, she was helpless, Jiang Rujin didn't often be coquettish when she was in Xianghua Pavilion, but every time she was coquettish, the first person to surrender must be him, he couldn't stand Jiang Rujin being coquettish and flattering at all, as long as he was coquettish and pleased, he could only raise his hand to surrender.
So he felt more and more that Jiang Rujin was his nemesis, and he completely ate him to death.
It's not a great feeling, but it's not bad either.
The four people in the group did not bring the maids.
Several people are also strange people who like to be alone, and they don't want to be followed by a large group of people, and everywhere they go, they feel like someone is watching.
Therefore, as long as it is not a special thing on weekdays, a few people generally don't like to lead people behind them, and it is precisely because of this that Jiang Rujin feels that it is natural for several people to become friends.
There is an artificial canal flowing through the capital. The scenery on both sides of the river is pleasant, and it is a favorite place for literati, artists, and ladies.
Jiang Rujin didn't know these before, these were all introduced by Qi Gongzi and Hua Zhicheng on the road, and she knew that there were so many things to pay attention to here.
Qi Gongzi said: "The scenery here is pleasant, it's not bad, the first place I came to when I came here earlier was by this river, Rujin originally planned to take you around when you came, but I didn't expect to be delayed by things It would be rude." “
Jiang Rujin shook her head and never complained about Qi Gongzi in her heart, in her heart, Qi Gongzi had already done a lot of things for her.
"Qi Gongzi is so busy every day and has to take care of my affairs, I already feel guilty in my heart, I have been disturbing Qi Gongzi here for this time, and Qi Gongzi does not dislike me for being too noisy. Thank you so much. How can I do it today? Don't you see that I only took 10,000 taels of silver, and I must have enough to eat and drink. ”
She said that she laughed, and the three of them were in a good mood, and their colleagues laughed heartily: "Okay, since you want to have a treat, how can we refuse." It's you who do the east, let's go to the restaurant together. ”
Hua Ruyan glanced at the two of them: "I'm afraid you have long wanted to sing about wine." I don't look at what time of day I want to eat and drink. That's what you can do. ”
Hua Ruyan's words made the two of them laugh tacitly, and they looked at each other helplessly: "You guys......." ”
There was a breeze blowing by the river, and when I closed my eyes, I could still smell the faint fragrance in the air: "What kind of flower is this?" ”
She felt the scent in the air she had never smelled before. What exactly is this flower?
Hua Ruyan is an expert in this industry, and he just took a breath and analyzed: "This is a mixture of several flowers, and it smells good, but there is an aroma in the middle that I can't distinguish." ”
She frowned, thinking in her head what kind of flower this kind of thing was.
Jiang Rujin was puzzled, he didn't understand Hua Ruyan, but he still waited patiently for Hua Ruyan to continue.
Hua Ruyan carefully discerned it for a while, and then said: "This floral fragrance is a little strange, as if I have never smelled this smell." ”
Jiang Rujin was very surprised, the fragrance that she hadn't even smelled was a little peculiar, you must know that Hua Ruyan was in the spice business, and she was very sensitive to all kinds of flower fragrances, if she hadn't smelled it, what could it mean? It can only show that this floral fragrance is too peculiar.
Or that I haven't even seen flowers like smoke.
So what kind of flower will it be?
Several people are engaged in a business related to spices, and they are naturally curious about this, and the four of them looked at each other almost without speaking, and they directly stepped forward to look at it curiously.
There are a lot of flowers and plants on the riverside, most of these flowers and plants are bought by nearby traders and put here, of course, the purpose of this is also to beautify here, which has become a scenery so people are very relaxed and happy to see it, not to mention that this behavior is very effective, at least it attracts a lot of people who come here to enjoy the scenery, and naturally the business in this vicinity is also driven.
This has become a place where many outsiders come to the capital, and I have to say that these traders have a vision, at least it is worthwhile to invest this amount of silver in exchange for more business.
Jiang Rujin walked in the front, she had a kind of ability to smell the fragrance of flowers and couldn't forget it, and now among them, of course, she is the only one who is suitable for finding flowers.
Suddenly, a pot of small red flowers appeared in front of her, and she was surprised to see the flowers and plants that appeared.
The red flower the size of a fingernail is very beautiful, what kind of flower is it? Jiang Rujin had never seen it at all, and the most important thing was that this flower looked so beautiful.
Hua Ruyan also walked over and frowned slightly when she saw the words in the flower pot: "What kind of flower is this, I have never seen it before, this fragrance seems to come from here." ”
Others may not be able to smell the fragrance of this flower, but for those of them with sensitive noses, this fragrance is so attractive.
Jiang Rujin shook his head and said that he didn't know: "This fragrance is coming from here, but whose is this flower pot?" The owner of the pot must be found to know where the flower came from, so that we can know where the flower came from and what we should do next. ”
She felt that she had to inquire carefully, otherwise the flowers and plants in this pot would always be a knot in her heart.
Although Hua Ruyan is very lively and talkative when she is with Jiang Rujin. In fact, this is not the case in another place, she is only like this because she is familiar with Jiang Rujin and regards Jiang Rujin as a friend, in fact, she can be said to be very cold when she treats outsiders.
Jiang Rujin glanced left and right, and a shop opposite the flower pot attracted her.
"This one seems to be selling exotic items?"
When she saw the wind chimes hanging in the doorway, she knew that this was no ordinary shop.
Hua Zhicheng observed it carefully, nodded and agreed: "It is indeed a store that sells exotic items, and I have heard that this store sells things from the Western Regions before." ”
Jiang Rujin raised his eyebrows and was in a very good mood: "Then I'll ask about this flower, you are waiting for me outside." ”
Qi Gongzi stopped Jiang Rujin and said, "How can the two of us men here ask you to ask, this matter should be handed over to us." ”
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Rujin was nothing, but Hua Ruyan on the side covered his mouth and laughed: "You still have to fight for this, I admire you, you don't have to worry, it's just a small matter, you stand here and wait for me." ”
Hua Ruyan is actually very eager to know what kind of flower it is.
After a while, Hua Ruyan walked out, looked at a few people with disappointment on his face, shook his head and said: "The shopkeeper said that this was found by their owner on the side of the road, and only these few plants were planted because they thought they were good-looking, and he didn't know if there were other places." It's just that this flower is not easy to feed. It's also because of the day, so I go out to bask in the sun.,If it's at night, you have to move into the house.,The owner of his family likes to raise.,There's been too much time wasted on this in recent times.。 The shopkeeper said that if we liked it, we would just move out. ”
Jiang Rujin looked at Hua Ruyan in surprise. didn't expect the shopkeeper to ask her to move the flower pots. This is something that has never been imagined.
Isn't it said that it takes too much energy to raise this pot of flowers? Why do you want to call flowers like smoke and move away the flower pots now?
She felt that there must be something in the middle of this, which Hua Ruyan hadn't told her.
It was precisely because of this thought that she began to feel uneasy in her heart, and she felt that things should be inquired more clearly, and she had to figure them out in order to be able to feel at ease.
Hua Zhicheng also didn't believe that Hua Ruyan's matter couldn't go so smoothly. Businessmen are all concerned about interests, if there is no interest, who is willing to lose money and make money, not to mention that the shopkeeper was still saying that the owner of this pot of flowers cares very much, and now he has given this away, what else can he say.
Hua Ruyan smiled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from a few people, so he simply confessed: "Actually, I gave him the silver myself, and he was happy with the silver and promised me everything, so you can rest assured that this matter has been dealt with, and you don't have to worry so much." ”
As long as you can buy it, it is also a good result, this floral fragrance is very peculiar, Jiang Rujin thinks that the more spices, the better, so he encourages the idea of Hua Ruyan.
Today's weather is very good, there are many people walking by the river, and the four of them are walking by the river, and the rate of turning back is still very high, and many people are curious to look back at them, which makes them all a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Jiang Rujin found a way to have fun.
Jiang Rujin looked at the weeping willows by the river, the majestic wind was rising, and the appearance of drifting away in the wind was very good-looking, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, uncivilized folded one, and then simply pulled a wreath and pinched it in his hand, ready to find a little more flower and put it on it, so that Hua Ruyan could wear it.
Qi Gongzi and Hua Zhicheng rarely see Jiang Rujin's lively side, the Jiang Rujin they see on weekdays is very serious, and he does things in an orderly manner but he doesn't look like a child, and it always makes people feel distressed to look at it.
Now seeing Jiang Rujin's bouncing appearance and innocent face, they finally feel that Jiang Rujin at this time is the most normal.
Jiang Rujin liked these flowers and plants very much, and he was reluctant to fold them off at all.
She took the garland and said: "I don't know if my cousin is going to take me there tomorrow, in fact, I still want to stay more in this capital, just because I really don't worry about my family, this time I will go back to my mother and mother will definitely urge me to get married." ”
Because of the last time I was noisy, now Chen is very subtle when he says these words, and he doesn't make it clear to her at all, which makes Jiang Rujin helpless, knowing that Chen actually wants to make things clear in his heart, and wants her to marry as soon as possible, but he can only endure it because he is worried about making noise.
(To be continued.) )
