Chapter 55: A slight change in mind

When she heard the scream, Ruoxin had already recognized who the person was, let go of her hand, and asked in some surprise: "Guan Dashao, why are you?" ”

Guan Dashao's handsome face changed color in pain, and his right hand was also distorted and hung down by his side. After Ruoxin let go of his hand, he straightened up, his expression was painful, but he still stretched out his other hand to grab her arm and scolded: "Stupid woman, where is Young Master Ben's mansion, where are you going?" ”

I could hear that he was saying this in a swearful tone, but unfortunately the words were mixed with pain*, and he lost his strength, and it sounded like an aggrieved accusation.

Ruoxin smiled, although she didn't know how he found her, she still said truthfully: "I didn't want to go to your house." ”

"No?" Guan Jingtian looked at her, his eyes widened, full of astonishment, cold sweat was already dripping down his forehead, dripping down his cheeks and dripping down his chin, obviously in great pain. Rich and noble families, pampered since childhood, can't stand any pain, let alone Guan Jingtian or was born by her wrong bones.

Seeing him look so pitiful, Ruoxin held his shoulder blade with one hand and his twisted and drooping arm with the other, determined the direction of the bone dislocation, and before he could come back to his senses, he quickly pushed up and reset his joints.

"Ahh ”

Ruoxin glanced at him, the jade crown tied her hair, and her silky black and shiny hair was meticulously combed, but her sideburns seemed to have been scratched by something, and they were slightly loose. Dressed in a jujube red silk robe, the neckline is trimmed with mink fur, the cuffs and hem are embroidered with gold threads, a black jade ring belt, and a few jade pairs with long spikes hanging from the waist, and a pair of brand-new black satin boots on the feet, which are indeed a few more gorgeous than the few times I have seen them in the past.

It's just that because of Fang Cai's pulling, Guan Dashao's neat robe is a little messy, and a brand new pair of boots has stepped on a dirty piece of sewage puddle when he doesn't know if he ran over. Although it seems a little embarrassed now, it is obviously deliberately carefully taken care of, reminding him everywhere that today is his birthday.

Ruoxin smiled and replied, "I haven't forgotten." ”

After listening to Ruoxin's answer, Guan Jingtian's expression was a little pale, thinking that it was wrong, and asked again: "Since you haven't forgotten, you are also here, why didn't you say that you didn't come to participate in Young Master Ben's birthday banquet." ”

Glancing at Ruoxin's empty hands, Guan Jingtian seemed to suddenly understand, "Oh-" sighed, the corners of his mouth turned up, leaned over, and smiled treacherously: "Did you arrive at the gate of the Guan Mansion only to find that you didn't bring a courtesy, and you were embarrassed to go in?" Why do you care so much, is Young Master Ben such a cautious person? Still a little gift from you? ”

Seeing Guan Dashao's beautiful black eyes bent into thin slits, looking like he was secretly having fun, Ruoxin smiled dumbly, "I came here to buy some pastries and go back to my junior brother." ”

Guan Dashao was stunned, and his smile froze on his face.

She means she didn't even think about going?

Since he was born, he has never been so ignored, he personally sent the post to her, but she had no intention of participating, the man's pride was greatly damaged, and Guan Dashao's handsome face was still radiant like a juggling face, and quickly became gloomy. In addition to being annoyed, there is also a bit of discouragement.

"Ugh." Seeing that Guan Dashao was suddenly unhappy, Ruoxin suddenly had the illusion that she was bullying children.

Thinking in her heart, Guan Jingtian suddenly grabbed her arm again, and in fact, she had never let go from the beginning to the present. He stiffened his face and said angrily: "No, you have received Young Master Ben's post, and you are going to come to Young Master Ben's birthday banquet." ”

Sure enough, it is the eldest young master, and he can send his young master's temper at any time. But if you receive his post, you have to participate? That's a bit of a bummer.

Ruoxin looked at him and laughed.

Guan Da rarely saw that Ruoxin's expression seemed to soften, and immediately said: "Also, you broke Young Master Ben's hand just now, and you have to come as an atonement." ”

Ruoxin smiled: "Guan Dashao, it's out of the mortar, it's not broken." "It's broken, and now he can still jump up and down like this, and he doesn't have anything to do at all?" What's more, you suddenly grabbed me, I thought it was a gangster who wanted to commit violence, so I started harder. ”

Guan Dashao ignored Ruoxin's explanation, and said like a child: "Young Master Ben doesn't care, in short, you injured Young Master Ben, and insulted Young Master Ben is a villain." Young Master Ben will forgive you for the time being, but you must go to Young Master Ben's birthday banquet. As if he was afraid that Ruoxin would suddenly escape, Guan Dashao grabbed her arm tightly, and she was faintly numb below her forearm.

Wu Che's eyes were full of urgency, but he still tried to maintain a high posture, Ruoxin looked at his expression, it was really funny.

There was nothing particularly urgent, thinking that there was still time, Ruoxin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go, you can let go." ”

A pair of black eyes brightened like stars in an instant, Guan Jingtian happily pulled Ruoxin's clothes and walked out of the alley, while saying, "That's not good, you treacherous woman can't run away halfway." ”

Does she need to run away?

Ruoxin smiled and shook her head.

Guan Dashao's eyebrows fluttered along the way, and he pulled her into the gate of Guanfu. The little guy standing at the door saw that his young master had brought people back, and he was also relieved, and walked in with them.

The carved beams and paintings in the Guanfu are splendid and brilliant. The green pines and bamboos in the garden are vibrant, and although it is winter, it is still full of flowers. In order to have a more festive atmosphere, the trees are tied with silk flowers of red gauze silk, which is very delicate. A small stage was set up in one corner of the garden, and a famous troupe invited from other counties was full of joy. In the distance, you can see that the main hall is covered with red felt, and there are more than a dozen banquet banquets, obviously the old man of the Guan family attaches great importance to Guan Jingtian, the only man, in addition to the hall, there are also dozens of tables of banquets in the garden, which is very lively. Before the feast officially began, the guests were all greeting each other.

Ruoxin saw two old men who looked like masters, also dressed in dark red satin clothes, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and their figures were slightly richer, but they were even more amiable. With a smile on his face, he was full of joy, coming in and out, busy receiving guests.

Taking Ruoxin through the corridor, seeing Ruoxin looking in the direction of the hall, Guan Dashao pointed to the two old men who Ruoxin was watching and said to her, "That's my father and my mother." ”

"Hmm." Ruoxin nodded, her eyes warm, and she smiled, "Your father and mother should seem to be very good to you." ”

"That's nature. Young Master Ben is their only son, and regardless of Young Master Ben's talent, martial arts, and erudition, they are naturally proud of me. Guan Jingtian held his head high, his chin slightly raised, and he looked triumphant.

"Poof." The little guy behind them couldn't help laughing when they heard Guan Dashao's remarks, Guan Jingtian turned his head and glared fiercely, and the little guy shrank his neck and tightened his face. Guan Dashao showed a smug expression again.

Looking at Guan Dashao's smiling face without a trace of annoyance, Ruoxin smiled at the corner of her mouth, and there was also a warmth in her heart, for the sake of Guan Dashao's family's happiness, father's love and mother's love, although the child was a little stubborn, but happy.

Guan Jingtian did not lead her to the hall, nor did he leave the garden in front of the main hall, but pulled her through the winding verandah, down a cobblestone corridor, to another, smaller garden.

This place is quieter and quieter than the front yard, Ruoxin looked around, and the little maid said: "This is our young master's garden, and the young master doesn't want to accompany those unknown guests in the front hall, so he set up a small wine banquet in this Jinhua garden." ”

While the little maid was explaining, Guan Jingtian pulled her to a small square table in the middle of the garden, on which an incense burner was placed.

Guan Jingtian turned around, looked at her, and said in an extremely serious tone: "According to our family's customs, on the day of his birthday, his relatives and friends will burn a pillar of incense for the birthday star and pray for his safety. Although the process of our acquaintance was very unpleasant, now that the festival has been resolved, Young Master Ben also treats you as a good friend. It stands to reason that you should also put on a pillar of incense. ”

After Guan Dashao finished speaking, he glanced at the little guy on the side, and the little guy understood, and went back to the house to get incense.

Ruoxin raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her lips did not decrease.

He lifted her up, when did she become his closest friend and friend, not to mention, if his relatives and friends all burned a pillar of incense, why was this incense burner clean and there was not a single stick?

Guan Jingtian is not a person who is good at lying at all, and his overly serious expression and tone reveal his bad motives.

After the little girl entered, Ruoxin heard a slight and chaotic footsteps in the house, she glanced at the main room quietly, and sure enough, there were many pairs of eyes looking at her in front of the screen window.

After a while, the little maid took the incense out and ran to her, "Girl, this incense." ”

Ruoxin turned her head to look at Guan Jingtian, Guan Jingtian was leaning sideways, as if she was smiling, and when she saw Ruoxin glancing at him, she immediately raised her fist to her lips with one hand, coughed lightly, and made a serious appearance.

Ruoxin's mind is transparent, and Guan Dashao's acting skills are clumsy, how can she not know the thoughts in Guan Dashao's heart. Take a little revenge on her, I want to see her being tricked by him. It's just that his thoughts are just some childish troublemakers, and she still doesn't take it to heart, but feels a little funny about his petty evil thoughts.

After a few rounds of contact, the initial dislike for Guan Dashao was gone, and seeing that he was the same age as Shang Si, Ruoxin was also a little tolerant in her heart. Since today is Guan Dashao's birthday, she will pray for him, which can be regarded as a birthday gift for him.

Praying for blessings was originally the power of the Bai priests, but she almost never did it for people outside the village.

Ruoxin looked at the sky and moved the incense burner that was originally facing northeast. Guan Jingtian looked at Ruoxin's movements, doubted in his heart, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”

Ruoxin glanced at him and said lightly, "If you want to summon ghosts, just go in that direction." To pray for blessings and longevity, the birthday star is in the south. ”

Guan Jingtian was stunned.

Ruoxin walked to the side of the sink and cleaned her hands, wiped them dry with a silk handkerchief, and took the incense in the hands of the little maid and burned it. Walked to the square table, made a salute with incense, inserted the incense burner, and then Ruoxin put her hands together, gathered her mind, and recited a blessing mantra.

From beginning to end, Guan Dashao kept staring at her intently.

He did have the idea of watching Ruoxin's jokes, and even summoned a large group of friends who came and went on weekdays to see how he played her, but now, looking at Ruoxin's serious expression, he was also a little stunned.

She was really praying for his peace......

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, Ruoxin stood quietly, with a plain and clear face with an indescribable * quiet.

Guan Jingtian looked at it in a daze, and there seemed to be something pouring out of his left chest.
