Hongdou said: "It's not that they are not allowed to care about Caicai, but ...... I can't see that they're genuinely doing good for the good of picking. Sun family, what kind of family is that? ”

"I was also at fault for this matter, and I didn't notice it in time, so Cai Cai was wronged."

"She was scared for several nights and slept and was awakened by nightmares."

"Alas, it's all my fault." Jin Lan felt distressed and guilty when she heard this.

Hongdou said: "There is no need to mention this matter, and I will not let Cai Cai go to her grandparents in the future, because they don't like her when they look at her, and they always want to push her into the fire pit, change a few calligraphy and paintings, and a few inkstones." ”

Jin Lan was extremely ashamed when he said this.

It sounds shameless, but partiality is real. And it happened in the Jin family, which is known as a century-old noble family.

It's a shame.

He sighed: "In the past, when my grandfather was there, he could still hold the town. Since my grandfather passed away a year ago...... Not to mention the fathers and mothers, the uncles of the other branches are also very disagreeable. has caused many officials to impeach, and the emperor has become more and more dissatisfied with the Jin family. ”

Hongdou looked at him with a hint of pity in his eyes: "There is no family that will never decay. ”

Jin Lan smiled bitterly.

Even if the family is defeated, it cannot be defeated in his hands.

Otherwise, he would be the eternal sinner of the Jin family.

Jin Lan's heart was heavy, he was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Hongdou, you ...... Do you have any plans for the future? ”

Hongdou said: "I don't have any plans, just guard this shop and do my favorite thing." And the things I like can feed me and Caicai, and I think, it's good. ”

"I've heard that during this time, there will be occasional people who will come to your door to propose marriage."

"I'm not going to marry again." Hongdou said lightly, "Now I live a life guarding Caicai, and after a few years of Caicai getting married, I will guard this shop alone." I don't want to cater and please people, and I don't want to follow the inexplicable rules of other people's houses. ”

When Jin Lan heard this, she felt a little lost in her heart.

"Red Bean, I ......" he looked into Red Bean's eyes and said with difficulty, "In the past few years, I have ...... in my heart There's always been you. I never forgot you. ”

Red beans lowered their eyes.

Jin Lan looked at her still beautiful face, and held her hand a little impulsively: "Hongdou, go back with me?" I found that from the beginning to now, no matter what, I can't forget you. ”

Hongdou gently but firmly withdrew his hand: "Jin Lan, your family has been asking you to marry a wife, and the candidate has probably been decided." I can understand your hesitation at the moment, but ...... I'm really not going back. ”

Jin Lan's heart was stinged, and she asked, "Do you really don't like me at all in your heart?" ”

"I don't know. Maybe there is, maybe not. But none of this matters and will not affect my decision. "So, you know what I'm thinking." Go back and marry a wife and have children with peace of mind, serve the court, and extend the honor of the Jin family. That's what you should do, not spend your time with me. ”

Jin Lan walked out of the shop in despair.

It's raining outside again.

In early summer, there is a lot of rain.

Jin Lan didn't care about the horses, and didn't care about the heavier and heavier rain, so he walked outside.

The pouring rain instantly drenched his clothes.

Red Bean came out with an umbrella and stuffed an umbrella into him.

Jin Lan didn't answer, and walked step by step.

When he got home, he fell ill.

After a serious illness, it took half a month to slowly get better.
