Chapter 15: Confession
The next day, in the flower room, Cui Ranxin caressed the huge petals one by one, one by one elegantly erect, some with buds to be released, some have bloomed, red, pink, purple, yellow, green each plant is in a variety of postures, lingering in the flowers, fragrant.
The world praises the independent plum of Aoxue, the fragrant orchid of the empty valley, the elegant bamboo, and the elegant chrysanthemum. Cui Ranxin felt that the character of the peony was not inferior at all. "Is it wrong that the flowers are beautiful, strange flowers are vulgar! I think it's a flower custom. The girl sighed indignantly.
Light smell, the fragrance of peony is strong but not greasy, as long as one plant can be full of fragrance in the garden, the fragrance is far away. The flowers bloom and fall for twenty days, and they do their best to exhaust all their strength at once, without reservation, so that they are so beautiful and beautiful, and they would rather be beautiful for a short time than spend their days idle, like the red glamour on the head of the city.
Cui Ranxin was squatting among the flowers, and suddenly footsteps came in from outside.
"Childe, the peonies are all here, how many pots do you want to take away?" The voice Cui Ranxin is very familiar with, it is Zhu Zhu, and the other one knows that it is his brother without guessing.
As soon as Cui Ranxin thought about it and scared him, he heard Zhu Zhu say shyly, "Childe, can you take Zhu Zhu away, Zhu Zhu really admires Childe." The girl's voice replied shyly.
But then the voice came coldly and calmly, "Take you away?" Go to Haoxing Pavilion to be an aunt, or a young lady? The boy looked at the girl and did not shy away from it.
"Childe, the slave doesn't dare, the slave just wants to stay by the child's side and serve the child." Zhu Zhu shook his head in surprise and hurriedly explained.
"Now that I know my identity, I will not mention this matter in the future."
"Pick the best varieties and I'll take them away, and you go find someone to move them." The boy didn't care about the girl's shame at this time and continued to command.
Zhu Zhu raised his head and plucked up the courage to shout, "Childe, you are ruthless—"
"Ruthless? The hemp dog who weeds outside also loves you, are you willing to let him into your boudoir to serve? Cui Jiuan said calmly, but those who heard it were shocked.
Zhu Zhu ran out angrily, and the tears in the corners of her eyes fell on the young man's feet.
Cui Ranxin, who was hiding in the flowers, covered her mouth in disbelief, but in fact, she couldn't make a sound at all.
"Don't come out yet!" The boy's voice came overhead.
"When did you learn to listen to corners?" Cui Ranxin looked up at the usually gentle second brother, who still had a cold face at this time.
"I didn't mean to." Cui Ranxin hurriedly defended.
"Qingshi sake is looking for you everywhere, and we will set off later, and someone from the house said that something was wrong, and my mother urged us to go back."
"Hmm." Cui Ranxin obediently followed his brother, his eyes flickering. Is the second brother who just talked to Zhu Zhu the brother he knows?
After all, she couldn't hold back, and the girl grabbed the young man's hand and made him look at herself.
"Second brother, why are you so cruel to Miss Zhuzhu?" The girl's silent inquiry overshadowed Cui Jiu'an.
"Then you want me to take her back? How can Zhu Zhu's identity be a maidservant, do you want me to accept her into the room? Cui Jiuan regained his composure, but he stared at the other party's eyes, stunned.
"No, second brother, you can be more euphemistic, you compare Zhu Zhu to a hemp dog hoeing grass, how hurtful it is." Cui Ran thought of Zhu Zhu's back, and any woman would be sad and uncomfortable when she was rejected like this by the man she loved.
"You don't care about my affairs, I don't think it's troublesome to run away with her, it's cumbersome." Cui Jiuan said something inexplicably.
Cui Ran, who reacted, was surprised: "Run away? Where are you going to run? Why run? ”
"Of course you have to run if you grab something." Cui Jiu was calmly talking nonsense.
"What are you going to rob? What do you have to rob? Second brother, can't you buy it with silver? Cui Ranxin believed it.
"Robbing people—the county lord." Cui Jiuan saw the other party's worried eyes, and his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he quietly leaned over and finished speaking in Cui Ranxin's ear, and strode away.
Leaving the distraught Cui Ran to hesitate in place.
Princess? Where is the county lord in the capital now, the only one who may be crowned the county lord is Qin Jinglian, no, no-
Cui Ranxin chased after him, panted and ran to Cui Jiu'an's side, turned around and said solemnly: "No, I don't agree with that girl, it can't be her-no one-"
"You can't leave me, my mother and all the Guogong Mansion because of her-" The latter words were sad because Cui Ranxin cried, and Cui Jiuan couldn't understand it at all, but he didn't need to know, he already knew what he wanted to know, this person still cared about himself very much, and that was enough.
Qingshi sake ran over and saw her young lady lying on Cui Jiu'an's chest shaking her shoulders, crying heartbreakingly, the two only cared about why their young lady was crying, but no one noticed that Cui Ranxin was already able to make a whining cry.
Caressing the girl in her arms, Cui Jiuan's eyes lit up slightly, and she could speak.
"Childe, Miss, what's going on? Crying so sadly? Sake asked.
"A fox outside the forest just broke into Zhuangzi, and was bumped into by the girl and was frightened." Cui Jiuan said that there was indeed something to do, and the poems and sake believed it.
"No wonder Miss Zhu Zhu ran out crying with red eyes just now, and she was also frightened by that stinky fox!" Qing Shi said to himself as it was.
Cui Ran was tired of crying and stopped. I only felt that my body was light, my feet were off the ground, and I was held in my arms.
"Sleep when you're tired, rest assured I'll be by your side." Listening to the gentle whispers in his ear, as if he had magic power, Cui Ranxin really slept peacefully.
When Cui Ranxin woke up again, it was almost noon, and the carriage was heading from the mountain road to the intersection of the official road. So the group went to the restaurant where they had lunch last time.
Only this time there were a few more carriages and horses in front of the small hotel.
Cui Ranxin rubbed his hungry stomach: "Second brother, I'm hungry." ”
"He Luo, stop and eat something before leaving."
"Childe, you see that there are so many cars and horses parked in front of this small shop, and there is probably no place inside." He Luo worried.
"Let's go check it out." Cui Jiuan insisted that He Luo could only park, and it would take two hours to enter the city, and he could hold on, but the young lady was still in the car, and He Luo knocked his head.
As soon as the Cui brothers and sisters entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile: "Childe, it's unfortunate that it is full today, and there are no empty tables, why don't you wait?" ”
Seeing the shopkeeper's cautious appearance, Cui Jiuan smiled gently, "Can the shopkeeper prepare some meals for us to use in the carriage?" If the shopkeeper is afraid that we will run away with the plates, he can count the silver of the dishes. ”
"Childe, don't tell this joke, the small shop doesn't collect cashiers and cares about Childe and Miss." The shopkeeper's mustache had a look of surprise on his face. Laughing with such a character, he is really flattered.
"Wait--if you don't mind, you can share the table with Cang, in Xia Cangshi, this is the sister Cangci."
Cui Ran stared at the person who spoke curiously, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with fair skin, small eyes and crooked eyes, looking very approachable, quite tall, half a head taller than Cui Jiu'an, fat and thin, not to say that he was a beautiful son, but he was also a talent, although the clothes were not luxurious, but the jade pendant on his waist was crystal clear in color, not like a vulgar thing. The girl beside him is Cardamom Nian, with the same curved eyebrows and slender figure, she winked at Cui Ranxin mischievously, Cui Ranxin suddenly had a good feeling, and there was an illusion of hating each other.
