In the southern kingdom, the sinner's escape without permission is a crime of the first degree, and the punishment is doubled with the previous crimes, and the skin is peeled off even if he does not die. Jiang Xianxu's plan failed to succeed, and at this time, he told Lin Zhuyun about his secret identity, which had to be said to be a risky move.

Jiang Xianxu continued: "Later, I don't know how long I passed out in a coma, I just felt that there was a noise around me, and someone was feeding water to my lips. I opened my eyes with all my might, and saw a monk with a gray beard and eyebrows, who was the abbot of Dongshan Temple. ”

Lin Zhuyun grabbed the corner of the cloak tightly, squinted his eyes slightly at Jiang Xianxu's face, trying to identify what he was telling the secret for at this time: "Was it the abbot master who saved you?" ”

Jiang Xianxu nodded: "Exactly, the master returned from his travels, and found me who was about to die on the road, and after finding that I still had an extremely faint snort, he actually carried me all the way to Dongshan Temple and pulled me back from the ghost gate." He gave me the Dharma name to go to the dust, which means that I can live again in the ordinary world of the past. ”

Lin Zhuyun didn't speak, Jiang Xianxu in his previous life also told her this, but on the night after he broke the city, he sat outside the golden wire cage where Lin Zhuyun was imprisoned, drank a whole pot of spirits alone, and muttered to her that this secret he had hidden for many years, his plan had been accomplished, he could finally take off his disguised identity, and change from a monk to the world Jiang Xianxu, the meaning of what he told at that time was the release of the long-imprisoned and the relaxation of the plan. But at this time, Lin Zhuyun couldn't figure out what he wanted.

At this time, a crystal teardrop suddenly fell from Jiang Xianxu's eyes, hanging on his white cheeks, shining in the moonlight.

He stretched out his hand to brush away the teardrop and continued: "When the master gave me the Dharma name to go to the dust, he originally wanted me to go to this mortal world, but he didn't think that I had failed him, I couldn't let go, I couldn't let go of the person who ruined my family, I was thinking about how to eat his flesh and drink his blood every day. I don't just have this dusty thing that I can't let go, and now, I find that I can't let go of the red dust resentment in this world, Miss Lin, that's you. ”

"Master Dust, we've only met a few times......"

Before Lin Zhuyun finished speaking, Jiang Xianxu immediately interrupted her and said: "Miss Lin, I am the son of a sinner who was lucky enough to pick up a life, and I originally just wanted to spend my life in the temple, but God let me meet you, and I know that there will be light in my broken life." I used to doubt my affection for you, whether it was a momentary emotion, or I really met the light of my life, and now, at the moment I knew that General Kuang proposed marriage, I knew that I wanted you, no matter what kind of identity I was, whether it was a Buddhist disciple to the dust, or Jiang Xianxu, the son of a criminal minister, I wanted you, I wanted you like crazy. ”

Lin Zhuyun was so shocked by his words that she couldn't say a word, tonight before Jiang Xianxu came, she recalled every sweet word he said in her previous life, just to be able to stabilize her mind and strengthen her beliefs when she really faced him.

But at this moment, the true feelings revealed in these pale amber eyes under the moonlight, the words that hit her heart like a drum, made her feel that she really looked down on Jiang Xianxu, maybe even if she lived a lifetime, she would still be unable to escape his net.

Is this a fate or a trick of the human heart?

Jiang Xianxu reached out and grabbed Lin Zhuyun's jade hand exposed outside the cloak, his eyes revealed a crazy desire: "Miss Lin, I beg you to believe me, I beg you not to marry General Kuang, you wait for me, it won't be long before I can take you with me, and then we will be the most wanton and free couple in heaven and earth, okay?" ”

"I ......"

"Let it go!" Xiao Song suddenly came and pulled Jiang Xianxu's hand away tightly.

Lin Zhuyun pulled out his hand, raised his head and gave Xiao Song a reassuring look, Xiao Song then took a few steps back and returned to the position where he was standing.

Xiao Song's visit made Lin Zhuyun's chaotic mind sober up a little, she lowered her head and whispered: "I know the intention of Master Dust." It's just that I'm still in the Lin Mansion and Lingcheng after all, and the marriage contract with General Kuang is also a promise between my parents and a matchmaker, so I can't disobey at will. But I'm willing to wait for you...... Wait until the wedding day. ”

When Jiang Xianxu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, he suddenly stood up and wanted to take a step closer to Lin Zhuyun, but Xiao Song immediately cast an unfriendly gaze, so he had to sit down again, his palms kept rubbing his knees, and he couldn't hide his excitement and joy.

Under the glittering moonlight, Lin Zhuyun's cheeks appeared two bright peaches at the moment, delicate and gorgeous.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianxu was already confident, he said with a light smile: "It's not early, Miss Lin should go back to the room quickly, I'm going to leave too." ”

"Okay." Lin Zhuyun got up and said goodbye to Jiang Xianxu.

Xiao Song watched Jiang Xianxu bolt the door bolt after walking out of the back door of the Lin Mansion, and said to Lin Zhuyun: "Miss, the night is really dark, I will send you and Xiaotang back." ”

Lin Zhuyun nodded, and the three of them went towards Lin Zhuyun's yard.

After the three of them left, a woman wearing a dark green cloak came out of the bamboo bushes not far away, it was Xu Luqing, she opened the back door, and Jiang Xianxu was still waiting there.

Jiang Xianxu saw her and whispered: "Everything is okay, you go according to the original plan, and this time you will definitely be able to divorce General Kuang and Miss Lin." ”

Xu Luqing nodded, closed the door and went back to his room.

The next day, Xu Luqing, who was full of worries, was sitting alone in the lake pavilion in the Lin Mansion, when someone suddenly reached out and pushed her back, and she exclaimed in surprise that she was about to fall into the lake.

At this time, the person who reached out and pushed her grabbed her arm again, and pulled her back from the edge of the pavilion to the safety in the middle of the pavilion, and the person behind him let out a hearty laugh: "Hahaha, did it scare you?" See how dare you sit alone in this dangerous place. ”

She turned her head and saw that the Danfeng eyes of the person in front of her were bent into two arcs, and a small tiger tooth was shining slightly in the sunlight, who could it be if it wasn't Song Jinren.

Xu Luqing puffed out his cheeks and glanced at him fiercely.

Song Jinren was still smiling, and bent down his slender body so that the two of them could see at the same level: "With such good weather, the master also gave us a vacation today, why did Sister Tuanzi sit here alone and watch the bare pond?" ”

Xu Luqing turned his back, not wanting to look at his face that was smiling all day long: "I'm willing to look at the bare pond here, what's wrong with my cousin." ”

Song Jinren walked around to her with a smile again: "It's none of my business, but I'm going to watch it with you." ”

"You ......" Xu Luqing encountered such an unreasonable kraft candy for the first time, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly rolled her eyes and said: "I went to pay homage to Daddy and Auntie's deceased lotus seat yesterday, and I miss them very much today, cousin, your Yongan accent will only make me miss them more, if you really love me, leave me alone." ”

The smile on Song Jinren's face suddenly dissipated, he lowered his head and saluted with both hands, and said, "It's my cousin's mistake, I hope my cousin will forgive me." ”

Xu Luqing hummed, turned around and sat in the other corner of the pavilion, the meaning of sending off guests was self-evident. Song Jinren saw it, so he had to quietly withdraw from the Huxin Pavilion.

After he left, Xu Luqing raised his head and looked at the spotless sky and muttered, "Daddy and Auntie, is what I have to do worth it?" Or should I go back to Yong'an with my cousin, to the place where your bones are buried, to the place where we once lived? ”

Sky didn't give her a response.

Song Jinren, who went back, walked around the room dejectedly, and Mrs. Song was so angry that she stretched out her hand and slapped him: "You make my eyes dizzy!" At the beginning, you yourself begged me to take you to see your sister Tuanzi after seeing the letter, why did you stay in the house again when you arrived at the Lin Mansion and didn't go to find someone? ”

Song Jinren sighed and sat beside Mrs. Song: "But...... But she said that she missed her father and mother, and she wanted to be alone, and I didn't dare to disturb her. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Song pondered for a moment and said, "Do you remember what Qing'er's mother liked to give her the most?" ”

"Yes...... Is it a potpourri cake? ”

Mrs. Song nodded: "Yes, I still remember the method of the potpourri cake." Go around the garden and see if there are any other petals to eat at this time, and if not, go to the kitchen and ask, they should have dried petals, get some back, and I'll teach you how to make potpourri cakes. ”

Song Jinren's pair of Danfeng eyes turned into a curved arc at this moment, and he went to look for the petals with joy.

Lin Zhuyun was sitting upright in the room, with Jiang Xianxu's blood book on one side and the jade pendant of the marriage contract with Kuang Lin on the other, she stared at the two things, her brows furrowed.

At this time, Xiaotang shouted in the outhouse: "Miss, the second uncle is coming to you!" ”

Lin Zhuyun came back to his senses and put the jade pendant into the innermost part of the dressing box, not wearing it on his waist as in the past. put Jiang Xianxu's blood book into the incense burner again, and watched it slowly ignite.

After the letter was burned out, she pushed open the door and welcomed the second brother of the Lin family in.

"My good sister, Daddy has sent you a job."

Lin Zhuyun was stunned: "What kind of work?" ”

The second brother of the Lin family sat down on a big red sour branch Taishi chair, and said leisurely: "As in previous years, you go to assist Daddy in carving to pay tribute to the holy jade carving jade pendant, you know, it is some work such as handing carving knives and dripping cooling water." ”

Lin Zhuyun remembered at this time, it was indeed almost time to pay tribute to the palace every year.

"Second brother, I've always thought it was strange to prevent the leakage of the carving patterns so we don't let people outside our own family enter the carving workshop, I understand, but I don't understand why I always have to assist Daddy? Obviously, you know more about jade carving, don't you? ”

The second brother of the Lin family took a sip of tea and said, "It is precisely because I understand better that I am not suitable." ”

Lin Zhuyun didn't understand at this time, and his eyes revealed an incomprehensible look.

The second brother of the Lin family put down the teacup and patted her head lightly and said: "Stupid, every jade carver has his own aesthetics and skills, and he thinks that he is the best. If I go, then I will definitely have differences with Daddy in the selection of materials, painting patterns, and carving techniques, and not only will the things that come out be bad, but the two of them may quarrel. ”

Lin Zhuyun understood at this time, she said with a smile: "So, it's better for me, a half-witted person who knows a little about fur and doesn't dare to give Daddy any advice." ”

The second brother of the Lin family smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

After drinking the tea, he remembered something and asked in a low voice, "What you said earlier about taking me to visit that white painter still counts?" ”

Lin Zhuyun thought for a moment and said, "Count, we'll go tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then! I can't rejoice this time! ”
