I haven't seen him for more than two years, his height has obviously increased, his face has lost its childish roundness, and his handsomeness reveals the sharp edges and elegant bearing of a young man.

His father was about to rise to the top, but his eyes were covered with frost, cold to the bone—even if he smiled a little warmly when he looked at Xiao Gu, he randomly fell into a deeper black haze!

Jingyu ...... What happened to him?

Rujun wanted to ask but didn't dare - she knew that there must be a reason why Dao Jingyu treated herself so coldly in front of people.

It stands to reason that his father is an important minister of the new emperor, and his mother and daughter are mistaken for servants and subordinates, so it should not be difficult to exonerate such two people.

But he just pretended to be picky, so that his mother and daughter were not sent to the frontier, and instead stayed in the capital and sent to the hero's mansion as slaves.

What is this for?

Rujun was suspicious in his heart, but he suppressed the emotions he wanted to ask.

Jing Yu snorted, picked a few sturdy slaves very coldly and arrogantly, and then turned to leave.

Xiao Gu and his mother were sent to a certain Lang Zhong's house, this family has a simple population, the husband and wife are more than half a hundred years old, and their hearts are soft-hearted, because their mother and daughter are lowly people, they didn't dare to take care of it, but they were only assigned to light work, Xiao Gu could even take advantage of an hour's rest time in the afternoon, go to the pawnshop to buy the broken silver and clothes she hidden, and then go to buy medicine for her mother.

However, my mother was already terminally ill, and the medicine was ineffective - long before the raid, the doctor diagnosed her illness in the heart, which was difficult to cure.

At the third watch of the last night, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the bungalow.

Rujun opened the curtain and wanted to go out to pour out the dregs, but he almost collided with the visitor, and couldn't help exclaiming, "It's you!" ”

Jing Yu, who came in the starry night, was dressed in a dark robe but wore a moon-white embroidered bamboo arrow sleeve, simple and simple, and the luxury and arrogance that he deliberately pretended to be last time were like two people.

He was tired and haggard. His eyes were still bright, he waved his hand, stepped forward to check Xiao Gu's mother's pulse, and frowned.

"No need, I also know a little bit about medical science, there are so many secret medicines in Miao Jiang, and none of them can save me......"

Mother's mind that night was extraordinarily clear, and a smile appeared on her thin and shapeless face, and she could vaguely see the juanxiu of her youth, "Rujun." You go to sleep first, I have something to talk to Brother Yu. ”

Rujun stared at his mother tightly, holding back the tears in his eyes, but his steps were a little reluctant to move, but after seeing his mother's pleading eyes, he finally left.

She didn't go to sleep, but hid under the windowsill and eavesdropped on the movements.

I couldn't see the movement inside, only the sound of Si Suo getting up. The mother coughed in a low voice, as if searching for something, "Young Master Yu, you are a good boy." If I have a case, Rujun will ask you. ”

The faint candlelight pierced Rujun's eyes, and she trembled and closed her eyes. Tears fell down one by one.

"Since my aunt is worried about Rujun, she should try to cure her illness and take care of her herself—for Rujun. You are the most important person in her heart! ”

Jing Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, simple but sincere, Rujun's heart was inexplicably hot, and the touching mixed with sourness made her tears fall even more fiercely.

"Even if I can cure the disease, I can't change my life, I can't make it......"

Mother's sigh made Rujun's trembling stop all over, but the whole heart seemed to fall into a pool of ice-

Her tone was lifeless and lifeless, and only the numbness of waiting for death remained!

The squirming sound started again, only to hear the mother say, "This is for you." ”

"Auntie, this is ......!"

Jingyu opened the page, and the whole person seemed to be startled, and his voice showed surprise.

"This is Rujun's Gengti, from now on, her honor and disgrace, life and death, everything will be handed over to you."

The mother coughed in a low voice, but there was a gentle smile in her voice, "I can see that you like Rujun, otherwise you wouldn't have been writing to her for more than two years, and sending so much food and entertainment." ”

Without waiting for Jingyu to answer, she continued: "My Fair Lady, good gentleman, my family Rujun is quite passable in terms of talent, but you are still young now, and it may not be this mind-in the future, if you are interested, take this Geng Tie to get married, compare your eyes, and accompany you for a lifetime; If you just regard her as a sister, I will also have the cheekiness to ask you to help her find a stable and reliable family, exchange this Geng post with them, and let her marry well. ”

She said so much in one breath, and suddenly coughed, Rujun under the window was completely stunned, her cheeks suddenly burned like fire, and the whole person was confused and at a loss.

Although she is young, she is precocious and intelligent by nature, and of course she knows the meaning of the Geng post: it indicates her name, birthdate, hometown, three generations of ancestors, etc., and the men and women hand it to each other, which is used to ask for marriage.

Mother, do you want to marry yourself to Jingyu?

The thought exploded in her head like a flood crashing on the shore.

After a long time, she heard Jingyu's voice, "Aunt is very loved, I am really happy......"

He hesitated, as if he didn't know what to say, and Rujun's heart sank.

"Miss Rujun is a celestial figure...... It's just that the world is like chess, unpredictable, and I'm just afraid that I can't give her the happiness she deserves......"

The following words, Rujun couldn't hear anything, the night wind whistled through the small courtyard, blowing her all over her body, she couldn't help but wrap her arms tightly around her body, bury her little face in the crook of her arms, and wipe away her tears.

Sure enough, he refused.

Her heart was even more sore, but it added a secret and deep pain......

He doesn't want to be with me!

Half-grown children, in fact, can not fully understand these love marriages, but they are also precocious and sensitive Zhilu Dao, if two people are married and married, they will eat, wear, move and lie in one place, and they will not be separated for the rest of their lives.

Ah, hate me?

There was a sound of footsteps in my ears, and when I looked up, I suddenly saw Jingyu's face approaching the gaze!

"Rujun, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the little girl squatting on the ground crying like a flower-faced cat, Jingyu picked up a handkerchief to wipe it for her, but she avoided it fiercely.

"Give me back that post!"

The little girl who was still childish, but she stretched out her hand to him with apricot eyes, and her little appearance was spicy and delicate!

Jing Yu's eyes flashed, and she suddenly understood that she must have heard something, "Rujun." I didn't mean that......"

He frowned, his eyebrows formed into a Sichuan character because of exhaustion and worry, "You are still young, and you still don't understand many things. ”

His eyes were still so gentle, but they contained anxiety and pain that she couldn't understand, "It's just that I'm not a good match for you, and I can't keep this Geng post well." ”

He carefully took out the red paper in his arms, and Rujun blushed with shame. was stretching out his hand to grab it, but saw Jingyu walk to the small stove under the eaves to boil medicine, and calmly put Geng Ti into the fire.

The tongue of fire rolled up, and the bright red was immediately burned into ashes, and the white powder was scattered in all directions, but it also made Rujun's heart almost crack.

She didn't know what kind of affection and love this meant, and there was only one thought in her mind: Ah Yuhe...... You hate me so much! I'd rather burn Geng Ti than accept it!

Boundless darkness came to me, and it seemed to buzz in my ears. She only felt that her hands and feet were weak, but she was forced to run away - the next moment, she was tightly held in his arms, like the most cherished baby!!

"I'm sorry. Such as the county...... I can't accept anything, because I can't hurt you! ”

It was a whisper that was so gloomy that it hurt to the marrow, as if there was some kind of unspeakable hidden intention, lingering on his lips. But I can't confide in the slightest!

Such a gentle and tight embrace made Rujun feel slightly dizzy in front of her, and she didn't wait for her to react. He let go of his hand, turned and walked away!

And the moment he left, Rujun clearly saw that Jing Yu made a lip gesture at her was, "Take care of yourself!" ”

This sentence, coupled with his resolute expression, has a vague omen of farewell!

Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Gu was shocked to hear that Jing Yu's father, Jing Qing, actually hid his blade in his court clothes with the intention of assassinating Zhu Di!

He was dressed in court clothes on the outside and scarlet clothes on the inside, and when the short sword with cold light was dragged down, he was only a few feet away from the emperor's throne, which was really dangerous!

She heard from the discussion on the streets and alleys - Jing Qing saw that the assassination was exposed, and he scolded angrily: "Uncle snatches the nephew's position, like a father raping his son and wife." If you betray Taizu's will, you are really a traitor and a thief, and everyone will be punished! ”

Zhu Di was furious, and ordered Jingqing's teeth to be knocked out left and right, his tongue was cut out, and Jingqing was executed with "torture", his limbs were split and skinned, and thatch was put in his abdomen, and hung in Chang'an Gate for public display.

Zhu Di also ordered to "exterminate the Nine Clans", but "turned to climb and dye", and the Jing clan was almost wiped out, even the teachers, relatives, friends, and students were not spared!

When Rujun heard this, his whole body seemed to be immersed in ice water, trembling all over his body but unable to make a sound.

It turned out that Jing Yu at that time had expected such a tragic result! He didn't want to involve Xiao Gu because of himself, so he ignored it like that and deliberately ignored it.

Jingyu!! What happened to him, life or death?!!

This question made Rujun anxious, but she couldn't receive any news, that is, at that time, she began to join the Jinlan Society, began to use the disguise technique taught by her mother to change her face, and even went to the mass grave to search as the corpse collector of Yizhuang, hoping to find a clue.

But Jingyu disappeared without a trace, and no one knew anything about him anymore.

Xiao Gu later took the risk of asking the servants of the government to check the file for him: dozens of members of the Jing family were all executed by Ling Chi, but there was no Jing Yu on the list of the dead.

She has always believed that Jingyu is still alive in this world, and one day, he will fall from the sky and tell her that he is still alive and has been waiting to meet her!

She has always been, so firmly convinced......

Time flies, people are wrong, at this moment, the girl Rujun has become a young girl Xiao Gu, she has gone through the destruction of her family, displacement, with oil paint and bone removal to cover her appearance, restrain her temperament, and become the most mysterious and ruthless twelve sisters of the Jinlan Society.

And what about him?

An incredible fate, many years later, in the most bizarre way, sent him to her!

Upstairs, the sound of the huqin is melodious and sad but intense, the cloud board is beating rapidly, and the singing voice of Tsing Yi Hua Dan is full of the sorrow and pain of the world-

"Tearful eyes look at tearful eyes, and the broken intestine person sends the broken intestine ......" (to be continued......)
