Xie Jinci had already returned to the dormitory and sat on the Luohan couch by the window.

On the Luohan couch, there is a small Buddha table with carved flowers, and the girl picks up the pen and earnestly copies the calligraphy.

The early spring sun shines through the screen window, lining her skin as if it is transparent, her low-hanging jet-black eyelashes half-cover her watery pupils, and her slightly upturned red lips are full and delicate.

The light cyan embroidered wide sleeves are slightly rolled up, revealing a snow-white thin wrist, and the jade bracelet is warm and green, which is more and more girlish like an orchid.

The years are quiet, it's better to be.

Yuan Fuxue stepped in with the maidservant girl and saw such a picture.

Her heart tugged.

She also wants to be as gentle and generous as Xie Jinci, and at first glance, she has read poetry and books, because she thinks that such a girl is worthy of her brother who folds wine.

But she was born in the northwest, where the war was close to her, and she learned kung fu since she was a child, and she didn't read much at all.

When she was ten years old, she came to Beijing for the first time with her father, and she fell in love with Rong Zhejiu at first sight, knowing that he liked to wear white clothes, so she tried to live as he liked.

But every time she stood with Rong Zhejiu, she still felt that she was not worthy of him.

Xie Jinci heard the footsteps, raised his eyes and looked over, knowing that the matter must have been done.

She put down the brush and said with a smile: "The county lord is here?" Libai, don't hurry up and serve tea to the county lord. ”

Yuan Fuxue sat down across the small Buddha table and glanced at the words on the rice paper.

A beautiful hairpin is impeccable.

She retracted her gaze, took out six jade pendants from her sleeve pocket and spread them on the table, "Which one belongs to Brother Orijiu?" ”

Xie Jinci's eyes were sharp, and he saw Lu Jinghuai's piece at a glance.

She frowned, "There's no piece of Rong Gongzi." Come to think of it, it has been destroyed by King Jin. ”

Yuan Fuxue nodded, "That's the reason." If I were Shen Changfeng, it would be strange if my concubine dared to keep the love tokens of other men, and I wouldn't destroy them. ”

She had no interest in those jade pendants, got up and said, "I'm going out to find Brother Zhejiu, I won't play with you!" ”

After she left, Xie Jinci picked up Lu Jinghuai's jade pendant.

Turning around in the sunlight, he saw a figure reflected in Jade Perry.

She turned her head to look at the window, Shen Changfeng pushed open the screen window, and her posture was leisurely, "I got something, now I can rest assured?" ”

Xie Jinci hid the jade pendant in his sleeve pocket, "It must be returned to others." You asked me to lure Yuan Fuxue to your study, but in order to deceive Rong and break the wine? In the history books, Zhou Yu used Jiang Gan to deceive Cao Cao, what handle did you leave in the study? ”

Shen Changfeng smiled, "I have no comment." ”

Xie Jinci was not interested.

She asked Libai to clean up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and go to change clothes behind the screen by herself.

Shen Changfeng followed up with the dormitory, "My sister is going out?" ”

"I have to return the jade pendant to Lu Jinghuai."

Shen Changfeng was displeased, and looked behind the screen, "You're going to see him?!" ”

Xie Jinci leaned against the screen and pressed his head stretched in, "You also said that between husband and wife, the most important thing is trust. If you believe me, why should I go and see him? Besides, I'm going to go to Qian Beauty's store to see him, and there is a rich woman, aren't you at ease? ”

Shen Changfeng: "I'm even more worried about him." ”

Xie Jinci changed into men's clothes, "Qian Jiaren wants to save up for a meal in Beijing." Xiao Yiyan, Zhang Qiming, and Mo Qianyu are all in Beijing, and Shen Wugongzi is also back, so we were planning to get together. Just took this opportunity to return the jade pendant to Lu Jinghuai. ”

Shen Lu left the cabinet as a scholar, while Mo Qianyu stayed in Lu Jinghuai's Wu'an Hou Mansion and concentrated on studying the Mo family's mechanical techniques.

Anyway, Lu Jinghuai has nothing else, but he has a lot of silver, and he can provide him with all kinds of materials and ancient books.

Shen Changfeng looked at the little girl walking towards the dresser.

She was removing the earrings.

Although he is dressed in men's clothes, he clearly distinguishes the hibiscus flower face, and the fat powder is so strong, where does he look like a man.

He leaned against the screen, a little vinegar, "Then you won't come back for dinner at night?" ”

"Not back."

"I'm eating alone?"

Xie Jinci lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, "You can go to Mingzhu Garden to accompany Shen Shangshu to dinner, and spread it out, and it can also fulfill your filial piety." ”

Shen Changfeng: "......"

The daughter-in-law ran out to fool around and let him stay at home to have dinner with a bad old man?!

His nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes, "In addition to Qian Jiaren, who else are they?" Is there a girl's house? ”

"Youen and Miss Zhou will also go." Xie Jinci hid the earrings in her makeup, "It's not early, I should go." ”

"Which Miss Zhou?"

"The daughter of Lord Zhou, Zhou Yingruo."

"Tsk, she hasn't given up on my good fifth brother."

Knowing that Xiao Youen and Zhou Yingruo would go, Shen Changfeng was slightly relieved.

He looked at Xie Jinci's back and couldn't help but ask again: "Then when will you return?" ”

Xie Jinci was a little annoyed by his question, "Won't you come back after eating?" ”

Shen Changfeng watched her step out of the threshold.

After cleaning up the pear white of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he quietly looked at Shen Changfeng.

The soft light of the setting sun fell on him, and Rihaku felt that her master's expression was a little aggrieved.

Like a big dog that has been abandoned.

……

Qian Jiaren had already resigned from her hometown and booked a seat.

Xie Jinci and Xiao Youen stepped in, and Lu Jinghuai had already arrived, and they were toasting and laughing.

It's still the same group of people as it was at the beginning, and I feel kind when I look at it.

The two little girls sat down, and Qian Jiaren happily served them tea, "Ci'er and Youen's skin is better than before, what kind of cream and powder do you use, and tell me about it, my cream is greasy, and it should be changed!" ”

Xiao Youen tilted his head, covered his mouth with his wide sleeves, and smiled coquettishly, "Mr. Qian's skin is good, it can be broken by blowing, isn't the powder used by me and Ci'er recommended by you?" ”

"Why are you boasting about people, I hate it!" Qian Jiaren covered her face shyly, and suddenly sighed again, "Shen Luli finally came back, but Wei Sikuo was released as an official, and Zhou Jingxuan, I heard that my sons are three years old, and we are a group of friends, I don't know when we will be able to get together again......"

He blinked, but what came to mind was Jiang Zhaoyun's figure.

He left without a word, and he didn't know how Jiang Zhaoyun was doing in Lin'an.

Xie Jinci looked at Shen Luli.

The man wears white clothes as when he was a teenager, and in the years since he was an official, Qingjun's face has faded from immaturity, leaving a calm nick.

He still looked indifferent, but looking at the girl beside him, his eyes were more gentle than the spring breeze.

He was released for a few years, and Zhou Yingruo waited for him for a few years.

Now Zhou Yingruo is twenty-one years old, and she is the oldest among the women who have not left the cabinet in Beijing, although there is a case of Shen Luli being forced to marry by the Zhao family of Shangshufu, but fortunately, they finally made a family appointment.

On the other side of the round table, Xiao Yiyan was excitedly describing to Lu Jinghuai how beautiful the Oiran in his hometown was.

Lu Jinghuai took a sip of wine, and Danfeng's eyes reflected Xie Jinci's voice and smile.

Since she came in, she was the only one left in his heart.

Her face was ruddy, and it could be seen that she was doing well.

She smiled sweetly, and her eyes were still clear and unworldly.

Shen Changfeng protected her very well.

Because it was Shen Changfeng who was guarding her, he should be able to rest assured.

But why......

Is this heart empty?

“…… Oh, that sunken fish girl dances so well, I look at it, this soul is going to be hooked! When we're done eating, shall we go and cheer her on? Make sure you like her......"

Xiao Yiyan gushed endlessly.

The food and drinks have been served.

Lu Jinghuai picked up the wine cup and raised his glass to Xie Jinci.

Xie Jinci smiled and raised his glass from afar.

Qian Jiaren saw their movements in her eyes, and couldn't help sighing, "Words, Lu Erke liked you very much at the beginning." I thought you would marry him, but I didn't expect ......"

Now Lu Jinghuai is also a young talent in the court, who doesn't call him a little marquis when he sees it.

is also a group of close friends of Qian Jiaren, and still calls him Lu Er.

Xie Jinci took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Young and ignorant, how do you know what you like?" When I first came to Beijing, I thought it was good to be able to drink wine. After a long time, when people grow up, they know what they like and who they are. Fortunately, Miss Zhou and Shen Wugongzi have lovers and eventually become married, which can be regarded as living up to the love of their youth. ”

She deliberately led the topic to Zhou Yingruo and Shen Luli, and she was helping Lu Jinghuai to relieve the siege.

Because the topic mentioned by Qian Jiaren is too sensitive.

But Lu Jinghuai didn't appreciate it.

"It's not that you're ignorant." Lu Jinghuai put down the wine cup, Danfeng chuckled lightly, "I liked you when I was young, and I still like you now." When I get old, I will like it as always. ”

The seat was silent.

Everyone had different faces and didn't know how to answer.

If Xie Jinci hadn't gotten married yet, of course they could have encouraged her to be with Lu Jinghuai.

But......

Xie Jinci didn't expect Lu Jinghuai to be so bold.

Her face was a little ugly.

After a while, she said, "I'll go to the toilet." ”

The toilet is spacious and luxurious.

She stood in front of the bronze mirror and patted her face with cold water.

When I raised my head again, I saw Lu Jinghuai's face in the bronze mirror.

She bowed her head, took the jade pendant from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him.

Lu Jinghuai took it.

Xie Jinci noticed that he had a red ribbon tied around his wrist.

She didn't take it to heart, and said lightly: "Don't mention that kind of thing in the future." I am married and will spend my life with him. Lu Jinghuai, you and I can be friends, or even brothers and sisters, but it is impossible to become husband and wife. ”

Lu Jinghuai stared at her.

He had said many times that she should not say no words.

But she still said it, without hesitation, as cold as ice.

When she faced Shen Changfeng, she would cry and make trouble, but she would never show such an expression of rejection thousands of miles away.

He remembered the scene when Shen Changfeng carried her on his shoulders when he was in the hunting ground.

They're so close......

Intimate enough to make him jealous.

His throat rolled, and he whispered, "I like you, no less than him." ”

Xie Jinci: "But your liking will only bother me and only make me deeply disgusted." ”

"Xie Jinci!"

Xie Jinci walked past him and walked straight out of the toilet.

Lu Jinghuai held her wrist.

He threw her against the wall, and because he had drunk, he was more daring than usual, and even tried to kiss her desperately!

Xie Jinci slapped him without hesitation!

Lu Jinghuai's face was beaten to the side.

His skin is pale, and the bright red slap marks on his cheeks are quite eye-catching.

Xie Jinci broke away from his hand, his eyes were like knives, "Lu Jinghuai, don't ruin our relationship for so many years!" ”

Lu Jinghuai propped up on the bronze mirror with one hand, raised his eyes to stare at the mirror, and the girl in the mirror gradually drifted away.

The man reflected in the mirror had blood-red eyes and a jealous expression, and even he felt strange.

In frustration, he smashed the bronze mirror with a punch.
