Sleepless all night, most of the people in the swallow cave are like this, everyone is waiting for the first light of dawn, finally the sky is white, the child who is still sleeping on his back, bring things, everyone out of the grotto, just when he is about to go out of the mountain, Cui Jiuan quietly pulled Cui Ranxin and left the crowd and sneaked away.

Although Cui Ranxin didn't know why, she didn't ask, just covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Laughing at what?"

"No wonder you are so active this morning and carry so many things on your body, it turns out that you want to go along!" Cui Ranxin pointed to the young man's bamboo basket full of things, and he was still carrying a cloth bag of dried chrysanthemums in his hand.

Seeing that the young man ignored him, Cui Ranxin continued to ask, "Why don't we go and have a look?" ”

"Whoever nagged in my ear every day that he was afraid that the master would be worried and wanted to go back to the valley quickly, I think it's all fake."

"No, I just want to see what Quanjiang is like."

"Quanjiang?" Cui Jiuan stared at the girl in surprise.

"Who is Quanjiang?"

"Big brother of the spring! Xiao Shui said that his eldest brother also came back, but he accompanied Governor Li, so he didn't come together. ”

"A man you've never met, what are you doing here?" Cui Jiuan's face darkened a little.

"Curious! Xiaoshui always praised her eldest brother to me, saying that her eldest brother is not only good-looking, has good conduct, but is also very good at reading, so I want to see if it is as she said. ”

"Humph!" Cui Jiuan was really speechless, snorted lightly, and strode forward.

"Second brother, you wait for me."

"What are you pretending to be in your head, is there anyone in the world who is better at reading than your second brother? I really don't know what to see. Cui Jiuan still couldn't hold back, reminding the other party that he was better than that Jiang.

"You can't say that, second brother, you are amazing, there is a certain reason why you were born well, but people work their own, which is more admirable."

"Messing around." Cui Jiuan really didn't want to explain his hard work, but thinking about the other party's words was not all unreasonable, thinking about it like this, he secretly became curious about Quanjiang.

The two walked all the way, chatting all the way, of course, most of the time Cui Ran was talking in his heart, and the other party only occasionally echoed a few times.

"Second brother-" In fact, Cui Ranxin missed her family in the capital very much, but she just thought that she would have a lot of time to accompany them in the future, and Du Youjia, who was alone in the valley, was only three short years, so she almost didn't mention the past, nor did she mention missing them, but just gladly accepted the worry-free life at the moment.

"What?"

"Did you say that Miss Lu married Wang Yicai?"

Hearing Cui Ranxin's question, the wooden stick in the young man's hand paused slightly.

"Nope."

"How so? Isn't Wang Gongzi bent on catching the hydrangea? Could it be that Miss Lu still thinks about you and regrets her marriage? ”

Looking at the girl's raised face, full of expectations, Cui Jiuan still cruelly told her the reason, maybe let her recognize the darkness and cruelty of this world earlier, it would be better for her to protect her.

"Grabbing that hydrangea is just young and competitive, and when he calms down, he will know that it is difficult to succeed at this time, and it is not beneficial to him. First, although Lu Xiangnian is the prefect of a state, he has no children under his knees, if he gets old, Lu Linwen will have nothing to rely on, and Wang Yicai will lose a big support behind his wife. Second, this woman is rude and willful, and she is not a virtuous helper, and she is prone to restlessness. Third, and most importantly, Wang Yicai's mother was originally the daughter of King Hui, although the rebellion of the three kings made her lose her dignity, but she has royal blood flowing in her body, and she thinks she is extremely noble, how can she let her son take a woman who can make a hydrangea to attract relatives? ”

"It's quite pitiful to think about Miss Lu like this, being fooled by others without knowing it."

"It was she who fooled people first, and then she was fooled, you have to find out the antecedents first, and then there will be consequences."

"Second brother, how can you say that Miss Lu is also in love with you at first sight, can you pity the fragrance a little."

"Humph! I can't learn from him. ”

"He? Who? ”

No matter how she asked, the other party was silent.

Suddenly, Cui Jiuan opened his arms to protect the person behind him.

"Shhhh

The wooden stick in the young man's hand was raised high, a black shadow flickered, and Cui Jiuan knocked on the object without hesitation.

"Stinky boy, take a closer look at who I am!"

A tall and agile figure came out of the bushes, and when he looked closely, it was none other than Du Youjia with an angry face.

"Father-" Cui Ranxin saw the person clearly, ran forward, and hugged each other tightly.

"I miss you so much—why did you come to us—"

"Good job, it's all bad for the father-in-law, I have heard about it when the father-in-law came." Du You's parents' calloused fingers gently patted the girl's back, the girl's messy and greasy hair, and the torn and stained skirt made Du Youjia feel distressed.

"Suffered." Du Youjia continued.

"It's not bitter, I just miss you, wow——。" After speaking, Cui Ranxin crouched in Du Youjia's arms and cried, crying out all the worries of these days and the thoughts of the distant place, and cried until he was exhausted.

"Stinky boy, let you take care of it-" I just wanted to reprimand the young man next to me when I turned around, only to find that Cui Jiuan was not much better than Cui Ranxin, he was dirty, and there was a strange smell, and the enviable face was also a little too thin, only the eyes were faintly teary.

"It's all the master's fault." Du Youjia put his arms around the young man's thin shoulders and hugged the two into his arms.

"Master—" The young man fell into the warm and medicinal bosom, and could no longer suppress the longing in his heart, although he did not cry wantonly like the girl, and soaked the placket of the elder's clothes.

"Good boy, cry! After I have a home, I will definitely not leave you behind. ”

Du Youjia has forgotten the last time he was so uncomfortable, when his mother fell off a cliff or when his father died, but this time it was only a short separation of more than ten days, but it made him feel uneasy and worried.

Whether it was the tears falling from the girl or the tears that the young man withheld, he decided that he would do his best to protect the two in his arms.

"Let go of me, who cried!" Cui Jiuan finally broke free from the confinement and threatened with a red face.

"You're not crying, who got my shirt wet." Du Youjia pointed to his shoulder.

Cui Ranxin had calmed down, and was still lying in front of Du Youjia, hugging the other party's waist, looking up at the master and apprentice who began to fight.

"It wasn't my tears anyway." Cui Jiuan just didn't admit it.

"Could it be your—saliva!" Du Youjia said the word saliva very powerfully.

"Du Youjia-" Cui Jiuan felt that his chances of winning a fight with Du Youjia were not high, because he was not as shameless as him.

"Poof-" Cui Ranxin couldn't hold back a laugh.

"Sure enough, it's best to have a father-in-law and a second brother."

"Then let's go back, look at you thin, you have to eat more when you go back, make up for it, and your face will be round and festive." Du Youjia pinched Cui Ranxin's face with one hand and Cui Jiuan with the other, and the young man slid away like a loach.
