Lin Xiaozhu heard this and didn't speak for a long time. just slowly stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around Yuan Tianye's waist, and buried his face in Yuan Tianye's arms. Yuan Tianye's embrace was still warm, his heartbeat was still strong, even if he fell into such a field, he still exuded a faint smell of grass mixed with sunlight.

Yuan Tianye was stunned, and his eyes gradually overflowed with emotion and affection. He stretched out his hand to caress Lin Xiaozhu's silky hair hanging behind him, his mouth opened, and he stopped talking.

"Xiaozhu." After a long time, he finally called lightly.

"Huh?"

"Xiaozhu, don't do this." He said.

Lin Xiaozhu slowly straightened up from his arms, his eyes looking at him with a sharp gaze.

Yuan Tianye removed his eyes, swallowed his throat, and said, "Look, I'm crippled now, I'm broken, and I have nothing." ”

"I know." Lin Xiaozhu nodded, "But, so what?" ”

"Are you ...... now," Yuan Tianye glanced at her, "How's it going?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu understood what he meant, but she didn't intend to appease him, and objectively described the situation after she left: "When I came over, I brought some silver with me. Then he opened a pickle shop, and then partnered with Liu Fuyin's wife in Yuejing City to open several pickle shops and dim sum shops. Later, he met Xiao Xiao, who was married to King Ying as a princess, and opened several restaurants with her. Recently, he partnered with an imperial businessman introduced by Lu Jianning, the king of Ying, and opened the restaurant to other capitals. She looked up at him, "That's it." ”

"So you're rich now?" Yuan Tianye said, looked outside the door again, "Bought someone?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu looked at him: "Yes." ”

"Very good." Yuan Tianye nodded, smiled, and showed his white teeth, "That's good." Then he sighed contentedly and turned away, "I'll go first, I'll get in touch if I have something." ”

Lin Xiaozhu did not speak. Didn't move either. Watch him pull the door open, watch him walk out. I didn't look back at him, and listened to his footsteps and gradually walked outside. Only then did she get up and go out, and said to Yun Shan, who was standing at the door at a loss: "You tell Shopkeeper Luo that I can't go to his house for dinner today." Apologies. After that, you can go back, you don't have to follow me. ”

“…… Be. Yun Shan looked at the two people who went out one after the other in a daze, thinking that it felt inappropriate, and wanted to catch up. But I didn't feel good about disobeying the girl's orders. Standing there, torn between two sides.

Lin Xiaozhu went out and looked at the tall figure more than a dozen steps in front of him. He didn't catch up quickly, but just fell behind, following unhurriedly, and kept the distance of more than a dozen steps. Until he walked across the main road and entered an alley. Walked through the alley to a dilapidated place and into a yard. She opened the gate made of a few pieces of wood that had just been closed, followed Yuan Tianye, and entered the house together.

Slightly skewed, old wooden walls with unclear primary colors, uneven floors. A few pieces of furniture with broken legs and few feet. Obviously, I don't know which people in the market built the new house. Abandoned old houses that have not yet had time to be demolished.

Yuan Tianye walked in, ignoring Lin Xiaozhu behind him, just picked up an old bottle and pot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank a few glasses of "grunt".

Lin Xiaozhu didn't make a sound, looked around the room, walked to the side room and the stove behind him to take a look, then rolled up his sleeves, took the cloth hanging outside that was so worn out that he couldn't see what it was, went to the well to draw water, and wiped all the places in the hall, side room, and kitchen after getting wet. After wiping, she hesitated for a while, looked at Yuan Tianye, who ran to the backyard to concoct medicinal materials, was silent for a while, and then left this dilapidated place.

Hearing the sound of her small footsteps fading away, Yuan Tianye stopped what he was doing, stood up, and stared blankly at her back, like a statue, and did not move for a long time.

With a "bang", a person jumped down from the big tree behind the house, walked to Yuan Tianye's side, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "Lord Wang, why do you bother?" "If Lin Xiaozhu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this person was Yuan Cheng who had stayed in Yuan Tianye's study all year round.

Yuan Tianye threw away the medicinal herbs in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a wry smile: "No, how can I know if she likes me as a person, or whether she likes my appearance, martial arts, money, and status?" You know, I've been chasing her all along; When things happen, she walks so crisply. Let her compromise herself for the sake of the overall situation and be my concubine temporarily, but she refuses. If I don't give her a try, how do I know what kind of person she is? ”

Yuan Cheng glanced at him speechlessly: "I think at the beginning, you were handsome, strong in martial arts, rich and status, but people didn't ignore you, or you chased people to marry people in vain." After that, you let the family go, and you are not happy if they leave. A little girl, even if she doesn't want to be a concubine, she can understand it. I said, Lord Wang, why did you drill the tip of the horns? ”

Yuan Tianye didn't care whether the big stone behind him was dirty or not, and sat down: "Anyway, I finally had a chance to give it a try, I can't waste it, right?" Knowing that I have fallen to this point, she will never give up, and I will give it to her without regrets in my life. ”

"Whew!" Yuan Cheng glanced at him, "If Miss Lin dislikes you, you really ignore her?" ”

"Where is there no grass at the end of the world? Why bother to love a flower? Yuan Tianye raised his eyebrows, slowly lay down, and closed his eyes, "What's more, I have confidence in the woman I fancie!" ”

After a long time, he, who seemed to be asleep, popped out a sentence: "You say, she won't really leave like this, right?" ”

Yuan Cheng, who had already returned to the tree, glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth curled: "It's hard to say." ”

Seeing that Yuan Tianye didn't speak again, he looked at the blue sky with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking. Yuan Cheng couldn't bear it in the end, and was about to open his mouth to comfort him, but he heard Yuan Tianye "shh

Listening to the footsteps that were gradually approaching, Yuan Cheng laughed happily.

Lin Xiaozhu walked in, and saw that Yuan Tianye was still squatting in the courtyard and tinkering with his medicinal materials, ignored him, and said to the people outside: "Come in, put the things in the wing." Then two men took two rolls of bedding and a basket of baskets; Immediately after that, a few more people came in with a bed and put it in the hall.

Lin Xiaozhu paid the money and sent them away. I took a basket to the kitchen, took out the pots and pans from it, washed it, lit the fire and cooked, and then took out a fish, skillfully slice the fish and starch it. After a while, the thick smell of boiled fish wafted through the dilapidated courtyard.

Yuan Tianye finally couldn't stay in the courtyard anymore, he walked into the kitchen, looked at Lin Xiaozhu, and then walked to the hall and the wing room to look at the bed and the bed and the two sets of beds, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu glanced at him, didn't speak, just washed the vegetables neatly.

"You're going to live here in the future?" Yuan Tianye's heart was itching, and seeing that Lin Xiaozhu ignored him, he couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, I'll live here from now on." Lin Xiaozhu didn't look back.

"You...... What's the pain? Yuan Tianye's voice was a little hoarse.

Lin Xiaozhu sighed, wiped his hands dry, walked to Yuan Tianye's side, and snuggled into his arms: "I know, you are very proud. So, you're not going to live with me. So, I had to stay here. Marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, I have no choice but to compromise myself. After speaking, he punched Yuan Tianye, "In the future, you will treat people more so that you can make money to support your wife and children." ”

"You...... Don't dislike me? I had nothing but a disability. Possible...... I can't even afford to raise my wife and children. Yuan Tianye hugged Lin Xiaozhu's soft body, full of emotion.

"At the beginning, I wasn't beautiful, I was poor and white, I was just a slave, didn't you want to marry me?" Lin Xiaozhu left his arms and looked at him seriously, "Actually, I prefer you to be an ordinary person, you don't have to intrigue with people all day long, and worry about national affairs all day long." I'm going to be worried. As it is now, it's good. ”

"However, if I still have to intrigue with others and worry about national affairs as before, are you still willing to marry me?" Yuan Tianye stared at Lin Xiaozhu tightly, for fear of ignoring a trace of expression on her face.

Lin Xiaozhu blinked, looked at him, and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she stretched out her hand and touched the hideous scar on Yuan Tianye's face, and then with a force, the scar was torn off Yuan Tianye's face.

"Sss Yuan Tianye covered his face with a grin, "You're light!" ”

Lin Xiaozhu's eyes slowly became cold, and then he pushed Yuan Tianye away forcefully, turned around and left. ran out into the street, stopped a carriage, returned to her newly bought house, ignored Yun Shan, who happily greeted her, closed the door with a bang, threw herself on the bed and cried.

After crying for a long time, she sat up, opened the door and went out.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Yun Shan Dao, who has been guarding the door.

"It's fine. I'm hungry and want to eat. Lin Xiaozhu said expressionlessly.

"Yes, come on." Yun Shan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to inform the cook to cook. It's good to be able to eat, as long as you can eat, it's not a big deal.

"Girl, you haven't cooked my boiled fish for me yet." Not far away, a lazy voice suddenly sounded. Lin Xiaozhu turned his head to see that Yuan Tianye, who was wearing blue satin clothes, was sitting leisurely on the wall, grinning at her.

"Zhou Yi, where did you die? Do you know that there is a thief in the house? Quickly arrested and sent the officer. Lin Xiaozhu shouted. (To be continued)
