The carriage passed through the bustling and lively street market, stopped in front of the Wangjiang Tower, Jiang Rin jumped out of the carriage, and when he entered the door, he saw Bai Jingze, who was green like cabbage on the stage, and was foaming at the mouth to talk about the three hundred rounds of the battle between the two sons of the Rongguo Mansion and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

The corners of Liang Chen's mouth twitched: "Bai Shizi really dares to say anything." ”

Xiong Yishan laughed: "No way, the fist of the King of Jinghe County is bigger!" ”

Jiang Rin ignored the muttering of the two of them, and went up to the second floor to find a secluded corner to sit down.

After a while, the downstairs shocked the wood "pop", the listeners applauded, Bai Jingze arched his hand towards everyone, and left the scene in a dashing manner.

Pedaling up to the second floor, his face was still smiling and heartless, and he beckoned to Jiang Rin from afar: "Brother Jiang!" What are you doing here? ”

Seeing that this emerald green cabbage attracted all the attention of the second floor, Jiang Rin smiled calmly: "It's just chatting." ”

Bai Jingze said in surprise: "You are a busy person, do you have time to talk to me?" ”

Jiang Rin was noncommittal and said with a smile: "Why haven't you seen your little brother Song recently?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, that thin little body, like a little girl, says that she is sick. I don't know where he lives when I want to see him, but the little guy next to him came to me this morning to do an errand, and said that he would come back to me when he could go out in a few days. ”

"Oh? Looking for you to do something? ”

"yes, it's not easy, I'm struggling. Hey? Brother Jiang, you know a lot of people, I don't know if you can do this? ”

Jiang Rin raised his eyebrows slightly: "You talk about it first." ”

Bai Jingze lowered his head on the table and said in a low voice: "That's the case, he asked someone to send me a prescription and a few small porcelain bottles, so that I can see if there is anything strange about the medicine in it." ”

Jiang Rin raised his eyebrows slightly, and Liang Chen came to report to him in the morning, saying that the girl named Shizhou next to Qing Ruxu went to Bai Jingze again, and explained something mysteriously. He was a little curious, so he came to ask when he passed by, but he didn't expect that there was really something unspeakable. Isn't she sick? Still thinking about all that mess? Did she suspect that she had done something in her medicine?

Seeing that Jiang Rin didn't answer, Bai Jingze asked, "Brother Jiang, this matter seems to be very important to Junior Brother Song, do you have any way?" ”

"I have men who are proficient in medicine, so leave this matter to me."

"Great! Brother Jiang, I am a hundred at ease! Bai Jingze immediately became excited, "I'll bring the things to you!" ”

Wangjianglou prepared a temporary resting place for Bai Jingze, he ran upstairs as soon as he slipped away, came back in a moment, and put a small indigo cloth bag in front of Jiang Rin: "Brother Jiang, please leave this matter to you." ”

Jiang Rin nodded, chatted with Bai Jingze for a while and left Wangjiang Tower.

Xiong Yishan's smile became obscene again: "It's still a powerful son, and he easily deceived Miss Qing about the matter she explained to Bai Shizi!" ”

Jiang Rin's face darkened, Xiong Yishan was shocked to realize that he was stupid again, and quickly turned his head to look around, as if the person who spoke just now was not him but Liang Chen. Liang Chen was speechless, walked a few steps quickly and asked Jiang Rin: "Do you want Leng Xiaoqi to come over to see Gongzi?" ”

"Hmm."

…………

The night was dark, and the wind and rain were raging outside.

Qing Ruxu sat in front of the bronze mirror, using a wet cotton cloth to remove the white makeup little by little, she looked at the person in the mirror attentively, although she had figured it out, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes still leaked a little bitter thoughts. She suddenly felt lonely, living a new life on her own, with many unspeakable secrets in her heart. There is so much pain, but you can only hide it in your heart alone, and you can never confide in another person.

But it's a new lease of life, isn't it?

I thought that I had been pitied by God for a few years, and I could use it to accompany my relatives, but I regretted that my life was already complete, but I didn't expect such a change, many things were not what she expected, but more complicated and tortuous. But as long as these mysteries can be solved, maybe she will be able to get a different ending from her previous life?

She looked at herself in the mirror, tilted her face slightly, and tried to lift the corners of her lips, bursting into a smile.

The candlelight in the bronze mirror flickered slightly, the light was in a trance, and suddenly there was a moon-white figure behind him, his body was stained with soft light and shadow, his long body was not stained with mortal dust, and his eyes looked at her in the mirror, the smile that forcibly suppressed the pain.

Qing Ruxu was frightened, and suddenly turned around: "You? ”

Jiang Rin's pale robe was still stained with a few rose petals scattered in the wind, he gently brushed them off, and let out an extremely natural "um", then raised his eyes that were unusually warm and soft by the candlelight, and said, "It's me." ”

Lan Zhou's hand that stirred the wick of the candle paused in the air, as if someone had clicked on the acupoint, and his body was fixed in place and could not move. Shizhou also froze on the spot, not knowing how this person appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Rin saw that Qing Ruxu's face was fine, and he was sure that she was really pretending to be sick, so he raised his left hand, showed the indigo cloth bag to Qing Ruxu, and then said straight to the point: "I'll tell you the result of this matter." ”

Lan Zhou and Shizhou glanced at each other, and they both looked at Qing Ruxu.

It stands to reason that Jiang Rin is a foreign man, although he is the son-in-law of the government for a long time, but the two have not yet decided to marry after all, so they broke into the women's boudoir at night, and they should be beaten out directly, but they all saw Jiang Rin's intention. This matter is very important to Qing Ruxu......

For a while, the two girls didn't know what to do, so they had to look at Qingru and wait for her to make up their minds.

Qing Ruxu hesitated for a while, but still said: "Lan Zhou, you go out first and guard at the door." ”

"Yes...... Girl. ”

There were only two people left in the room, Jiang Rin looked at Qing Ruxu, she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was just starting to grow. I haven't seen him for a few days, there is a slight sadness between my eyebrows, and I have thousands of thoughts, and I don't see my previous lively and tricky appearance at all. He frowned slightly, something must have happened beside her, and what he was holding in his hand proved it all.

Qing Ruxu saw that Jiang Rin's eyes were as deep and quiet as a secluded spring, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and her heart was pounding.

She had thought that Bai Jingze would go to Jiang Rin, an omnipotent person, for help, and even knew in her heart that Bai Jingze must be looking for Jiang Rin for help, but she still did it. Because she had no other way, this matter was too important to her, and even played a decisive role in the rest of her life, she didn't want to become a deaf person again, so she could only ask Jiang Rin for help through Bai Jingze's detour.

It's just that she didn't expect that Jiang Rin would appear directly in front of her like this and bring the answer here in person. "Bai Shizi went to look for you?"

Jiang Rin's face was calm and waveless, but the corners of his lips hooked a trace of arc: "I went to find him." ”

At this time, Qingru Xu was really surprised: "Why? ”

Jiang Rin did not hide that he had people secretly monitor her every move, but he changed his words, "I asked my subordinates to secretly protect you, of course I knew about picking up the boat to find Bai Jingze, so I went to ask." ”

Qing Ruxu bit her lower lip lightly, this person's face is so thick, and he talks so well about spying on her...... The last time she saw Xiong Yishan and Liang Chen for the second time in the Zhao family's tofu shop, she vaguely guessed that Jiang Rin was secretly staring at her, but she glanced at the cloth bag in Jiang Rin's hand, endured it and didn't have a seizure, only asked in a stiff voice, "What is the result?" ”

Jiang Rin put the cloth bag on the table and opened it, and arranged the porcelain vases inside one by one in the order of date, the snow-white porcelain vase was half bright and half dark under the reflection of the lamps and candles, and the dark shadow, like the secret contained in it, was peeled off from the porcelain vase, exposed in front of his eyes, and was about to be revealed.

However, Jiang Rin sold Guanzi: "You tell me the cause and effect of the matter, and I will tell you the result truthfully." ”

"...... you" Qing Ruxu's anger was ignited in an instant: "Jiang Gongzi likes to explore other people's private affairs so much? ”

Jiang Rin was unmoved by her anger and said, "Even if it is." ”

What do you mean by even if it's right? Qing Ruxu's eyes widened, and she was about to be laughed at angrily, this person actually admitted that he wanted to know her secret so openly? "What if I don't!"

"Then please ask Miss Qing to invite another master." He was expressionless, as if he were facing a deal.

Qing Ruxu said coldly: "If Gongzi Jiang wants to sell this news, I can give you other things you want in exchange." ”

Jiang Rin was full of interest: "Miss Qing is what she wants." ”

"You...... You're so shameless! Qing Ruxu's cheeks turned red, and she swayed a few times helplessly, and finally picked up the soft pillow placed on the chair and smashed it hard.

Jiang Rin caught it lightly and said with a smile: "I have failed to ask to marry a girl, according to Mr. Will, as a man, you should take the initiative to win the favor of Miss Qing." ”

Qing Ruxu was stunned, and then understood that what Jiang Rin meant was that all this was her father's instigation and her wishes, and he was just meeting the common needs of her and her future father-in-law, which couldn't be more intimate! Qing Ruxu felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, gritted her teeth and said, "But this matter is useless to Jiang Gongzi!" ”

Jiang Rin's gaze stayed on Qing Ruxu's half-scattered long hair, and said with a smile: "How do you know that it is useless to me?" ”

Qing Ruxu raised his head suddenly, and was crashing into Jiang Rin's smiling eyes, did he do this to understand himself? She was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Rin in her previous life and the person in front of her gradually coincided. She had often seen such eyebrows and smiles before, but she couldn't hear his voice at that time, and she didn't know what he was saying to herself.

Her mood fluctuated, and she took her eyes off Jiang Rin.

Jiang Rin saw that she lowered her head slightly to avoid her gaze, and her black hair slipped from her shoulders to the placket, hanging down softly along the soft old plain silk white skirt...... At this moment, Jiang Rin felt a long-lost sense of relief in this girl who had not been dressed up at night, "I don't know what Miss Qing thinks?" ”

Hearing this, Qing Ruxu pulled herself out of the emotions that she couldn't react to, the flush on her cheeks gradually faded, her expression became solemn, she forgot the previous embarrassment, her back straightened, and she said word by word: "I hope that after Jiang Gongzi knows the cause and effect, he can keep it a secret, and he can't interfere at will without my permission." ”
