Chapter 2 The peach is dying, scorching its bloom

The Rejuvenation Hall is the largest medical center in the city. The owner of the museum, Li Qianwen, worked as a doctor in the capital in his early years, and later offended the powerful for some reason, so he returned to his hometown to open a medical hall.

Mrs. Li Qianwen died early, and her only son Li Chengye was very intelligent, and he was already promoted before the age of 20.

Jiang Xinyue had also heard of him, but she had never met him, and she didn't expect to cross paths with him.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xinyue personally went to her own treasury to carefully select the best four treasures of the study, and then selected ten fine brocades and sent them to the Rejuvenation Hall to apologize. Originally, the injured person should have sent tonic medicinal materials, but the Li family originally opened a medical center, so naturally they didn't need these.

The Li family soon had a return gift. Jiang Xinyue opened the gift box, in addition to the gift, there was also a delicate and elegant Huadian small box, revealing a vague fragrance.

When she opened it, she saw that the rouge in the box was bright but not demonic, the texture was delicate and soft, and the fragrance was elegant, but it was refreshing. She lightly rubbed a layer on the back of her hand, and the pale red seemed to come out of her skin.

At the bottom of the box is a delicately folded note. "Chengye's handmade rouge, does Miss Jiang still like it?"

Jiang Xinyue was a little ashamed and even more annoyed. "Dengzi!" She gritted her teeth and cursed.

The annual chamber of commerce was held in the Jinge Pavilion outside the city, and the Jiang family, as an industry leader, was naturally indispensable to participate.

Jiang Xinyue was wearing a long skirt with a white background lined with pink begonia patterns, and the ink-dyed green silk was tied with a jasper hairpin, and only a delicate begonia was inserted in the sideburns. The eyebrows are green without painting, and the lips are red without dotting. Graceful and elegant, smiling and smiling.

"The prefect is here!" Someone reported at the door, and everyone hurriedly greeted them.

"This is Miss Jiang, right? Sure enough, it is delicate and extraordinary. Qingzhou Governor Zhu Guangyuan walked in front of Jiang Xinyue. He was in his thirties, with a fair complexion and a few sparse beards floating under his chin.

Jiang Xinyue saluted. "The adult praised it falsely, and the little woman didn't dare to be ashamed."

Zhu Guangyuan was in a very good mood, looking at her intently, his eyes full of appreciation.

Jiang Xinyue was a little apprehensive, but when she saw that Zhu Guangyuan had no worries in her words, she also put her mind at ease.

A businessman joked: "My lord, don't look at Miss Jiang's youth, she is the leader of our Qingzhou City's commerce."

This. ”

"This government naturally knows that the tax collected by Qingzhou Mansion is also the most paid by the Jiang Family Commercial Bank. Ha ha. Zhu Guangyuan said with a smile.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Jiang Xinyue said a few polite words, and quietly went downstairs while Zhu Guangyuan was talking and laughing with others.

On the river bank downstairs, the spring is bright and the grass is beautiful.

Jiang Xinyue's girl, Ziyan, suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "Miss, have you noticed that someone has been following us." ”

"Really? Where is it? Jiang Xinyue didn't care, she was reaching out to pick the gorgeous peach blossom on the branch.

"Hey, it's gone again, miss, why don't you find Jiang Dong?" Ziyan turned her head to look around, a little uneasy, and the first thing that came to mind was Jiang Dong, the leader of the guards in the mansion.

Jiang Xinyue stood on tiptoe, but she was still a little short of that peach blossom!

A bright and delicate peach blossom fell into her hands.

"Li Gongzi! How did you end up here? Are all the leg injuries healed? Jiang Xinyue looked at the bright and handsome man in surprise, and only felt that a little joy bloomed in her heart like this peach blossom. Suddenly thinking of the box of rouge and notes, his face sank again.

"It's been a long time ago, Miss Lao Jiang is worried." Li Chengye said with a smile: "The peach is dying, scorching its bloom." Only this delicate peach blossom can be worthy of Miss Jiang. ”

After a pause, he said softly: "That day, I tossed and turned, and I was convinced." ”

Jiang Xinyue's face suddenly turned red! She is not a little woman who twists, she has always been cheerful and generous. But at this time, her calm and calm, and her clever tongue suddenly came in handy! I felt that there was a naughty little rabbit jumping up and down in my heart.

Li Chengye saw that her cheeks were like drunk, green silk was like ink, and she was shy, happy and disgusted. There was a stir in his heart, and he said unwillingly: "I know that the Chamber of Commerce is holding a banquet in the Jinlou today, so I came to try my luck and see if I can meet the young lady." ”

"Gongzi Li, you are also a scholar, how can you be so frivolous?" Jiang Xinyue was really annoyed, this person was so bold and rude! Her face sank! Throw the peach blossom in your hand to the ground, turn around and leave.

"Miss, stay! There is no meaning of being frivolous! Li Chengye hurriedly took a step forward, his voice was a little hoarse, but it was extremely sincere.

"There was an encounter in the rain that day, and I never forgot Miss Fangrong. Later, I crashed into the lady's carriage again, and I believed that this was the fate that God had arranged for you and me! I don't know what Miss wants...... If, if the young lady doesn't think I'm reckless and shallow, I'll show my father and come to the door to propose, is it okay? ”

Jiang Xinyue's face turned red! She raised her eyes to look at Li Chengye's equally flushed handsome face, and wanted to scold him for being frivolous and rude, but she had to bite her lip and hold back the smile that wanted to bloom.

Li Chengye was so happy that his whole body was about to explode! He grabbed her hand mercilessly. The sultry spring breeze blew off the peach blossoms on the trees, and fell on the hair and shoulders of the two. The air is filled with a smoky, sweet smell.

Zhu Guangyuan stood at the window and took in the whole scene. He stared closely at the pair of lovers under the peach tree, and his eyes darkened.
