Chapter 110: Confession
July 25, outside Xiling City.
Nguyen Minh Yu was waiting outside the city gate early in the morning. It was easy to stay up for another three days, and he couldn't wait to see Li Jingshan for a moment.
Fortunately, Li Jingshan didn't let him wait long. Soon after the city gate opened, Ruan Mingyu saw a slender figure in green clothes rushing out of the city gate. When I saw them, my eyebrows and eyes immediately relaxed, revealing a warm smile.
Ruan Mingyu also smiled, stretched out his hands to her, and opened his arms. Li Jingshan smiled brightly and rushed towards him.
Ruan Mingyu hugged the soft body that rushed over, and turned around twice before putting the person down, looking at her cheeks that were red with excitement, she almost couldn't help but peck at her.
Li Jingshan's face is much thinner, how dare she let Ruan Mingyu be presumptuous on this official road where there is an endless stream of people, and hurriedly left his embrace, and turned his head to greet Ruan Shu and Ruan Mo.
The two little men were standing on the side in two tied horse stakes, and at this time they couldn't pretend to be wood, so they had to come over to pay their respects. Ruan Shu took the opportunity to suggest, "It's not too early, let's hurry as soon as possible when the sun is not strong, and the heat is unbearable at noon." β
Then everyone led the way. Riding all the way along the official road, Ruan Mingyu and Li Jingshan took the lead, and the two little guys consciously lagged behind half a stone, leaving enough space for them.
On both sides are paddy fields with abundant harvests, some of which have already been harvested, and most of the rice is still yellow and clearly hanging its head, waving waves of rice in the wind. Even though Ruan Mingyu was sweating under the scorching sun, he felt relaxed.
It's not like I've never seen such a scenery before, but now that I have my loved ones riding together, the ordinary scenery has become pleasing to the eye.
At noon, the sun was getting hotter, and everyone was busy looking for a long pavilion to stop and rest. Ruan Mingyu originally wanted to buy some dry food in the tea shed, so he passed the lunch.
Li Jingshan saw that the rice field on the side of the road happened to be harvested, and the farmhouse not far away put chickens in the field to eat grain.
She rolled her eyes and whispered a few words to Ruan Mingyu. Young Master Ruan's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Whatever you want." Let Ruan Shu do it, his mouth is the most suitable for this. "I told Ruan Shu to do it.
Sure enough, Ruan Shu came out of the farmhouse after a while, carrying two big roosters that had been killed and removed, and walked over with a smile, "Young master, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" β
"Okay, I'm getting more and more discerning." Ruan Mingyu praised, "Set up firewood to make a fire, and I'll reward you with a chicken leg later." β
Li Jingshan smiled on the side, she took two cleaned chickens, one was stuffed with spices in the stomach, wrapped in lotus leaves, wrapped in thick yellow mud on the outside, buried in the earthen kiln, and the other was worn on a wooden stick, burned on the earthen kiln, and roasted. In this way, the upper and lower kilns, with two chickens are done, and when they are placed on the newly picked lotus leaves, it is really fragrant and mouth-watering.
The two chickens were quickly divided among the four.
When Ruan Shu cleaned up the ashes of the charcoal fire and washed the utensils and came back, he saw Ruan Mo leisurely leaning under the tree to enjoy the shade.
"What about the young master and Miss Li?"
Ruan Mo chewed on the fresh grass stalk in his mouth, raised his chin and nodded into the distance. On the edge of a blooming lotus pond over there, egrets dotted, and two figures were walking next to each other.
Ruan Mingyu folded a few lotus flowers for Li Jingshan, picked two lotus pods and peeled them off, picked out the lotus seeds, and fed them into Li Jingshan's mouth.
Li Jingshan did not doubt him, smiled and obediently opened her mouth to eat.
Ruan Mingyu was deep and soft, "Since you have eaten what I fed, you are my person-marry me?" β
Li Jingshan stiffened, and she couldn't swallow the lotus seeds that were half-bitten in her mouth, nor did she spit it out.
In the end, he swallowed it with difficulty, and then asked, "Young master, it's not the first time I've eaten what you fed, why is this time so significant?" β
Ruan Mingyu's expression was rarely solemn, and he said earnestly: "Because this time, it contains thousands of miles of pursuit, nearly a month of hard waiting, and the fear of facing life and death, these days, I finally recognize what I want - Ashan, I want you." β
He looked at Li Jingshan deeply, and saw his little figure in her apricot eyes, which were getting wider and wider: "It's not what I said before, let you stay in the outer house and stand behind me." But as you said, let's fly together and swim the sea together. I want you to share the wind and rain with me and share the sun. β
Li Jingshan also looked at Ruan Mingyu in a daze, and clearly heard the two villains in her heart constantly screaming.
Red sensual villain: Promise him, promise him!
White sensual villain: Calm down, calm down! It's just a whim.
In the end, it was the little white man who took the upper hand. Li Jingshan sighed and asked, "Young Master, I am still your house slave now. β
"The deed of sale is given to you, and you are free."
"Your Ruan family's house rules ......"
"I'll figure it out." Ruan Mingyu showed a hint of embarrassment, but resolutely said, "Give me some time." In short, I won't wronged you! β
"Young Master," Li Jingshan asked suddenly, "but what happened?" Tell the story. β
Ruan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and sighed that this girl's thinking was too sharp. He peeled another lotus seed and handed it to Li Jingshan's mouth, but Li Jingshan closed her mouth and shook her head.
He put the lotus seed in his mouth and chewed it slowly, until the fresh sweetness spread to his mouth, and then he slowly spoke, "The Treasure Pavilion holds a 'Guigui Wine Party' every five years. At the meeting, the big boss of the Jingbao Pavilion was re-elected. My father had been in retirement five years ago, and he had intended for me to take over. β
Ruan Mingyu looked far away and looked at the colorful mountains in the distance, "My eldest brother has been assisting my father in managing affairs for many years, and at that time, there were several old managers in the store who opposed it and pushed my eldest brother to take over. My dad didn't retire in the end, and he served for another five more years. β
"He wanted to take me with him for another five years. It's just that there is already a place for my eldest brother there, and if I step in again, it will only cause friction and misunderstanding between our brothers, and the brothers will be separated. Therefore, I tried my best to advocate leaving Beijing to open another branch, and then go back after making a name for myself. β
"Fortunately, with you, I really broke through the world." He looked at Li Jingshan and smiled warmly, "At this banquet, if I am really elected as the big boss of the Jingbao Pavilion, my marriage will also be on the family agenda." I hope that the female head of the Treasure Pavilion is you! β
Li Jingshan suddenly understood why Chang Yong immediately came to her to warn her as soon as he found out about the ambiguity between her and Ruan Mingyu - it turned out that he really came to admonish her for the position of the hostess of the house.
She sighed in her heart, there were more obstacles now than there were a few months ago.
Li Jingshan pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Young master, in the past month or so, I have entered the bandits' den first, and then entered the barracks. Don't you ask me what happened? β
Ruan Mingyu's heart seemed to be pinched by a big hand, and he shrank in pain. He was silent for a long time before slowly pulling Li Jingshan closer to his arms and said in a deep voice: "I heard Uncle Chang talk about the girl who was thrown off the cliff...... I was so scared, so scared that I had nightmares at night, and that girl in the dream became your ......"
Li Jingshan tensed in his arms. Ruan Mingyu also felt it, his hand patted her back lightly and comfortingly, and continued: "When I came to look for you, I told myself that as long as you are safe and sound, nothing else matters, I don't care about anything,
His slender fingers gently stroked Li Jingshan's cheek and said softly: "I love you, as long as you haven't changed and you are still by my side, that's enough." He smiled softly, "Ah Shan, I know you love me too." If I am the one who encounters the bandits, if I am injured by those bandits and lose my arm and leg and I lose my arm, will you not love me because of this? β
Li Jingshan slapped him in annoyance, "Don't curse yourself with nonsense!" β
Ruan Mingyu pretended to dodge for a while, and then leaned forward with a shy smile, "You admit it, you admit that you love me too!"
Li Jingshan: "............"
This trick is getting deeper and deeper, and it's hard to prevent.
However, she thought about Ruan Mingyu's words for a moment, and still replied seriously, "What you said is true. If such misfortune had befallen you, I would never dislike you for it. In the final analysis, the body is just a skin, and the spiritual character and mental behavior contained in it are what really attracts me. β
Ruan Mingyu looked at her appreciatively, and secretly sighed that he really had a good eye and didn't look at the wrong person. He hugged people and was about to take advantage of them, but he heard Li Jingshan say again, "It's just that you and I don't care, and it's not that others don't care." When you sit in that position, you will marry me, and in the future there will be people who will make things difficult for you with this kind of talk. At that point, can you not care? β
Ruan Mingyu was right-hearted, and replied casually, "It doesn't matter what others think of him, who cares?" "I still want to wait for an opportunity to take a sip.
Although Li Jingshan didn't dodge and struggle, she looked at him extremely calmly: "If your family and friends come to blame, can you not care?" β
Ruan Mingyu was calmed by the almost cold light in her eyes, and stopped moving, "Are you worried about my family?" I was faintly happy that Li Jingshan was willing to discuss his family with him and plan the future with him!
Li Jingshan also raised her eyes to look into the distance, and said quietly after a long time, "Young master, you may not have experienced it, your soft tongue is like a knife, and you don't see blood when you kill people." β
Ruan Mingyu was startled by her gloomy look, and his heart sank suddenly. The stalk was in my throat, and I couldn't ask anything.
Of the six sisters who were taken captive, only one was tortured to death. On the second day after General Chu rescued us, he informed our respective families to come and take us home. "One of them, a local woman named Fluttershy, met her father and gave her a slap in the face, saying that she was immoral, unclean, and defiled the lintel. And her mother only cried and cried, crying about how she would live without a reputation in the future. β
Later, although she brought the person back, the next day her fiancΓ© came to the door again to withdraw from the marriage. Let her cry and defend in every possible way, his fiancΓ© only said lightly: You entered that pickled place, it was like falling into a muddy pool, how could it be clean? β
Ruan Mingyu was silent for a long time before he asked astringently, "What happened later?" In fact, he already knew the answer.
