19 Chapter 19
After the house was repaired, Huo Aowu moved back to his house. He has been idle lately, and every other day he goes to the mountains to hunt, and the prey he catches is divided into two, half of which is sold in the town and half is sent to Ruan's house. Every time he comes back from selling prey, he will buy some small snacks such as sugar cakes and fruits for Ruan Yimian.
He picked Ruan Yimian's favorite food to buy, Ruan Yimian was embarrassed, but his body couldn't resist the temptation of sugar cakes, and every time he muttered "Brother Huo, eat it yourself", but his hand involuntarily stretched out.
While spitting on his greed, he made up his mind that after the rouge paste was sold, he would buy him a gift for Brother Huo, and he couldn't just eat other people's things.
Lu Caimei intended to match Huo Aowu and her little brother, so that he could come to the house for dinner every day as before, but Huo Aowu did not refuse.
On this day, Lu Caimei saw that his clothes were torn, so she asked him to change them and bring them over to make up for herself. When Huo Aowu brought the cleaned clothes over on the second day, Lu Caimei was busy with the work at home, so he casually put the clothes in the basket on the table.
Ruan Yimian drank the medicine at noon, ate two pieces of apricot candy, and suddenly felt a little weak when she saw Huo Aowu's clothes.
He, Brother Huo, was reluctant to buy clothes for himself, but he was willing to buy him snacks twice in three days. Ruan Yimian silently took the clothes back to her room, threaded the needle, and carefully sewed them.
When the sewing was about to be completed, he heard a noise outside, it seemed that it was a guest at home, Ruan Yimian sewed the last few stitches, tied a knot, got up and walked into the hall.
As soon as he arrived outside the door of the hall, he heard a familiar voice, and Ruan Yimian stopped and did not go any further.
"Last time, I was wrong, 'pity the hearts of parents in the world', I just want Qingyao to marry a daughter-in-law who can support each other with him, and live a more relaxed and smooth life in the future, but Yimian's body is not good, I am really worried that Qingyao will suffer if he marries him! Sister, you are also a mother, you should be able to understand me, right? I also lost my mind in a hurry, so I said those hurtful words! "
Lin Shi took Lu Caimei's hand with a sincere expression: "Now I already know that Qingyao is right and wrong, if you are good to Yimian, you are good to him, and if you are not good, he can't be better!" I won't be embarrassed again. ”
"What happened last time, sister, don't take it to heart, when Yimian enters the door, I will definitely make up for him! He is weak, so we will eat and drink well, never let him do any work, spend more silver, and ask the county and Fucheng to invite a few more doctors to help him see a doctor, and it can be cured after all! ”
Lin thought that after she said this, Lu Caimei and her family would be moved, but they didn't expect that they still looked like they didn't eat oil and salt.
"I can't understand, I want my children to be good, but I will never abuse other people's children because of this!" Lu Caimei grimaced and withdrew her hand.
Ruan Dexian frowned: "The family matter has retired, Brother Mian'er's body doesn't bother Mrs. Lin to worry about, we will ...... ourselves"
Before he could finish his sentence, he caught a glimpse of his son standing at the door of the hall.
After being stunned for a moment, Ruan Dexian said to his son: "Brother Mian'er, since you are here, come in." ”
The other three people in the hall heard the movement and looked towards the door together.
Jiang Qingyao got up from his chair and took two steps in the direction of Ruan Yimian.
"Yimian." He looked at Ruan Yimian with burning eyes.
"What else are you doing here? Last time I was in the teahouse, my brother had already made it clear to you. Ruan Yimian pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
Jiang Qingyao's eyes implied with pleading: "My mother and I are here to make amends for the events of the past few days, please give me another chance to explain, okay?" ”
"You explained it last time."
Seeing Ruan Yimian's cold attitude and avoiding his gaze all the time, Jiang Qingyao's face darkened unconcealably: "Uncle, aunt, can you let me and Yimian say a few words alone?" He turned his head sideways to Ruan Dexian and pleaded.
Ruan Dexian and Lu Caimei glanced at each other and looked at their son with an inquiring face.
Ruan Yimian was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered Lin Qiu's matter, and in a hurry, he suddenly thought of an idea.
"Dad, mother, you go out for a while, I have a few words to say to him."
"Okay, we'll wait at the door, and you can call us if there's something."
Although they were a little puzzled, Lu Caimei and Ruan Dexian finally went out according to their son's words, and the Lin family also went out under Jiang Qingyao's instructions.
After Ruan Yimian came in, she glanced at Jiang Qingyao with some hesitation on her face.
Jiang Qingyao saw that he was still willing to talk to him alone, and a trace of hope floated in his heart. As soon as Lu Caimei and the others went out, he couldn't wait to speak: "Yimian, what do you want to say to me?" ”
Ruan Yi hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
Jiang Qingyao smiled, picked up a book from the table, and walked up to Ruan Yimian: "Your favorite words have a new booklet, and I haven't had time to read it to you, so I bought it for you this time." Didn't we say it the day before we got married? After getting married, I will teach you to read and write, and after I will study in the study, you will read the book on the side, and if you encounter a word you don't recognize, you will come to me and ask me. ”
"Do you remember all these agreements?" Jiang Qingyao asked softly, with some nostalgia in his eyes.
Without waiting for Ruan Yimian to answer, he continued: "There is a page in this book, which is a deed written by my own hand, and the promises I made with you and my uncle and aunt are all written on it, I signed it, drew a pledge, and if I lose you in the future, you will make this deed public to the public, so that everyone knows that I am a treacherous person." ”
"Would you like to give me another chance, Yimian?" In the end, Jiang Qingyao's eyes were full of pleading, and the self-sustaining side of the past was completely gone.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to take Ruan Yimian.
Ruan Yimian was excited, put his hands behind his back, and twisted his face: "No." ”
Jiang Qingyao's outstretched hand paused in mid-air: "What can I do so that you can forgive me?" As long as you say, I can do it, but you can't give me a death sentence without giving me a chance, right? ”
"Please, don't give up our relationship so easily, okay?"
His eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and there was palpable pain on his face.
Ruan Yimian has a very complicated mood.
Now when he sees the Jiang family, he will think of the ordeal he suffered in his previous life, the bloody cry of his father and mother after his death, and the way his brother roared in pain on the ground after his leg was broken.
Jiang Qingyao turned a blind eye to his parents' abuse of Lin Qiu, he knew that his father and mother were not good at stubble, but he still left himself alone in the Jiang family, under the nose of his father. Ruan Yimian had been thinking about it for a few days before he died, did Jiang Qingyao know that his father and mother would treat him like this?
There is no answer to this question, he didn't have a chance to ask in his previous life, things haven't happened in this life, and Jiang Qingyao himself may not be able to predict his state of mind two years later.
Regardless of whether Jiang Qingyao was negligent or deliberate, Ruan Yimian would not let himself repeat the mistakes of the past. But Lin Qiu was innocent, Lin Qiu was so good to him, how could he watch Lin Qiu be sold by the Jiang family to others as a concubine one day in the future? The easiest and fastest way to get close to Lin Qiu is to let Jiang Qingyao pull the strings out of it. Lin Qiu was looked down upon by the Lin family strictly, afraid that Lin Qiu would go out and say something "shouldn't be said", and the Lin family didn't let Lin Qiu go out at all on weekdays.
Only through Jiang Qingyao can he legitimately communicate with Lin Qiu.
He settled down and looked at Jiang Qingyao: "There is absolutely no possibility between us, Jiang Gongzi don't waste any more time." ”
As soon as his words fell, Jiang Qingyao's face changed.
"'Jiang Gongzi', what a 'Jiang Gongzi'!" Jiang Qingyao sneered, strong anger and unwillingness tore in his heart, he never knew that his Yimian was such a ruthless person!
"Do you have a favorite person next to you, is it Lang Jun who ate noodles with you that day, right?" If it weren't for that, why was his attitude towards himself so cold in just half a month? Jiang Qingyao stared at Ruan Yimian tightly, suppressed the jealousy and apprehension in his heart, and asked.
Ruan Yimian was stunned for a moment: "It has nothing to do with others, we are not suitable, the difference between our two family backgrounds is too big, your father and mother reluctantly agreed to this marriage, and I am afraid that if we get married in the future, we will make the family uneasy." I just want to live a peaceful life and don't want to worry about my parents anymore. ”
"There's nothing more to talk about the two of us, I have something else to do with you." Ruan Yimian didn't want to go around in circles anymore, he thought about it for a while, and finally said his true intentions.
"I've recently liked to make rouge by myself, I heard that your grandfather's family used to be in the rouge business, and now there is a cousin of your grandfather's family living in your house, can you ask him to help me see the rouge I make?"
Jiang Qingyao really didn't expect that Ruan Yimian agreed to talk to him for this matter! Refuse to be reconciled to him, but ask him for help?
His face turned red with anger, and he still tried his best to suppress his anger: "How do you know about my cousin? You only know one thing but you don't know the other, my cousin's family started by selling rouge, but he doesn't know how to make rouge. ”
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to do it, I just want him to help take a look, no one around me has used rouge much, he sells rouge at home, and he must have seen a lot of rouge."
Jiang Qingyao was simply inexplicable, he stepped forward and approached Ruan Yimian: "Yimian, what rouge do you like, I'll buy it for you, let's not withdraw from the kiss, okay?" ”
"If you don't want to help, forget it!" Ruan Yimian turned her face away and shook her hand to leave.
"I'll help you!" Jiang Qingyao said urgently, "I'll let him come over in the next two days." ”
"Okay, thank you, that's it for today." Seeing that the goal was achieved, Ruan Yimian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Using Jiang Qingyao made him a little uncomfortable, and after speaking, he turned around and hurried to leave, but he almost collided with the person who had just entered the door.
"Brother Huo!"
Why did Brother Huo come over? Ruan Yimian was a little puzzled in her heart.
Jiang Qingyao looked over with a hostile expression when he heard this.
Not only was Jiang Qingyao unhappy, but Huo Aowu's face was not much better.
Obviously, he has made it clear last time, why is this surnamed Jiang pestering again? He just came and forgot it, Brother Mian'er still talked to him alone, isn't he soft-hearted again? Huo Aowu stared at Ruan Yimian with deep eyes, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.
"Today, I went up the mountain to pick some March flowers, remember that you like to eat, come and give some to you." Huo Aowu handed the March Ying wrapped in leaves to Ruan Yimian, and pretended to be inadvertent: "I came in suddenly, didn't disturb you, right?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he himself felt the sourness between the lines. Huo Aowu started sideways, not daring to look at Ruan Yimian.
Ruan Yimian was a little weak for some reason: "No, we have finished speaking, and there is nothing else, I just want to ask Jiang Gongzi's cousin to help me take a look at the rouge ...... I made."
Ruan Yimian couldn't help but explain a long way, and quickly shut up after coming back to his senses. He hung his head a little annoyed, but Huo Aowu breathed a sigh of relief, and the depression in his heart dissipated a little.
