Ukiyo heave

Nian Quesheng's mental preparation was obviously not in place. Hearing this, he heard a bang in his ears, like a spring thunder, with a buzzing sound.The whole person was stunned for a long time, Fuhua was afraid that he would be stupid, so he stepped forward to shake his gaze, but Nian Shengsheng forced a smile and said, "Don't make trouble... Fuhua, this is so out of order...Winter Shen is not as good as weak crown, Yuan Ci is only as good as Ji, she is still a woman, why..."

Fuhua's reaction to him was no exception, as if he felt that he should react like this according to his temperament, and said in his heart that you should be sorry, and he was not too merciful: "The city master, the suzerain, Ci'er is only 16 years old, and he has never done anything. , isn't it just to propose a kiss, what is she afraid of."

But Nian Kesheng really knew that this Yuan Ci was no longer what it used to be. When he heard Fuhua's "Suzerain", he felt as if he was frozen. He looked at Fuhua with complicated eyes, and said to Ruan Ruan, "Open the door. , I'm going to Jiang's house."

Fuhua was taken aback, she didn't expect him to be so impulsive, and while annoyed that she had spoken too seriously, she stepped forward to stop him: "Hey..."

It was too late, Ruan Ruan was extremely efficient in opening and closing the door, and in the blink of an eye, Nian was no longer there.

Early this morning, the Jiang family received a "long-lost guest".

The moment Mu Lian saw Yuan Ci, he first asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?" After asking, he suddenly asked, "You are...Miss Lin, Lin Ci?"

Yuan Ci saluted very politely: "Mrs. Lao Jiang Er still remembers me, but I have left the Lin family long ago, and my surname is Yuan now."

Mu Lian smiled: "It's been a long time since I saw you, but Miss Yuan has become more and more beautiful."

This seems to be a polite remark among all women, Yuan Ci didn't have to answer, just smiled and said, "Mrs. Jiang Er, you flattered me."

Although Mu Lian was smart and good at speaking, he didn't know the purpose of this long-lost visitor, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he racked his brains to hold back a sentence: "When you didn't come to us to look for Ah Chen, he still asked me miss you."

The speaker has no intention of listening to the listener, this sentence should have been like two people greeting each other, asking about the weather, and then saying miss it, it is as common and common, and I don’t want a stone to stir up thousands of waves, Yuan Ci immediately responded: "Really? He really read it I?"

Once the words are spoken, it is not okay to deny them.However, the well-informed Mu Lian already understood her intentions through this short sentence, and changed the subject noncommittally: "Ms. Yuan, where is she now?"

Yuan Ci realized that she had lost her composure just now, lowered her head and pursed her lips shyly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I lost my manners just now. Thank you Mrs. Jiang Er for your concern. Now I'm in Yuan's house... to hold a position."

"Yuan family?" Mu Lian listened to his ear, thinking carefully about which fairy sect this is, Yuan Ci hurriedly added: "Mrs. Jiang Er didn't know it was natural. .”

"No, how could it be?" Mu Lian smiled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, isn't our family also very soft-spoken at the beginning? Slowly, everything will develop."

Yuan Ci nodded: "Borrowing Mrs. Jiang Er's good words."

Mu Lian didn't know what to say, so he led her in first.After the introduction, I realized that there were quite a few people who came with her, so I asked unintentionally, "What job is it, there are many people. Your side is quite special, and the disciples are all girls."

Yuan Ci seemed to have waited for this sentence for a long time. Hearing the words, he raised his face, very humble and courteous, and his tone was full of cautious expression that he was worthy of Jiang Dongshen, and said softly: "It is... the suzerain. Jiang Second Madam, please don't laugh at me, I know that I have little talent and learning, and I am in a high position because of the help of others."

Mu Lian was very surprised when he heard the words, and his heart was simply unbelievable.After all, women know women best, and Mu Lian was able to appreciate the weight of these few words. He didn't reveal the mountains and water, and gave Yuan Ci a lot of face. Talented. I am a little moved, when your family came to study, I remember you always ran to Ah Chen, such a little girl at that time, and now she is the suzerain."

Yuan Ci secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and was slightly moved by this tenderness, so moved.Sitting in the guest seat in the main hall, Mu Lian naturally did not take the main seat, but went to sit next to Yuan Ci first, and chatted like a gossip: "That kid, Ah Chen, is always running around, I should tell him to learn from you, don't waste it." It’s the course work.”

Yuan Ci hurriedly waved his hands, and just about to say something to evade, Mu Lian glanced at her and smiled helplessly: "Don't be nervous, I just said it casually, you don't have to take it to heart. But Ah Chen is like this now, it's good. His temperament is too calm, and you should know about that incident when he was a child. Since then, he has become less talkative, and the words he utters every day can be counted with one hand. Now that he has grown up, it is very good to meet My friend has become more cheerful, look at him, he doesn't even come home."

Yuan Ci didn't understand Mu Lian's intentions, so he humbly asked, "Why did Mrs. Jiang make such a statement?"

Mu Lian was still smiling, but his eyes and tone were full of the gentleness and love of a mother. He was proud and pleased. He turned to Yuan Ci and said, "Last year he made a friend. Maybe you didn't know it. It's Nian's family, but Nian is promoted. Since getting together with that child, he no longer walks alone. He often laughs and even jokes with me. I like to see Ah Chen like this, no longer gloomy Dull, but like any sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. I am overjoyed by the changes that the child brought to him."

When Yuan Ci heard her mentioning Nian Quesheng, she couldn't figure out the situation for a while. She couldn't figure out if she knew about Nian Quesheng and Jiang Dongchen or didn't know about Nian Quesheng and Jiang Dongchen, so she didn't speak and listened to Mu Lian. Then go on.

"Now the two of them are living outside. I went to see them with Mrs. Chang two days ago. The two of them had a wonderful life. At first I was afraid that the two men would not take care of me. I was worried, but who knew it was I underestimated them. The inside and outside of the house are very good. But I can rest assured." Mu Lian beckoned a few servants, ordered them to add more tea, and said with a smile, "by Let him go, I am willing to live away for a long time, and I am very relieved to be promoted with him, as long as he is happy, I did not bring him back by force. Ah, sorry, Miss Yuan, I am just taking care of myself Having said that, I forgot to ask you, but what is the important matter here on this trip?"

Yuan Ci smiled, and suddenly didn't know how to speak. The manuscript that had been typed thousands of times seemed to be broken up by the sentence "I didn't bring it back by force".Seeing her expression, Mu Lian's heart became clearer, and he stood up and said, "Well, you sit down first, I'll excuse you for a while, and send a voice to call Ah Chen, and tell you two to talk, okay?"

After much deliberation, there was no better way, Yuan Ci nodded: "Then there will be Mrs. Lao Jiang."

Mu Lian glanced at her, turned around with a smile, and left the main hall.

But Nian arrived at Jiang's house in a blink of an eye, and landed on the forest path a hundred and eighty steps away from the main entrance. Perhaps it was because Ruan Ruan was afraid that he would do something reckless, so he gave him a few more steps to think.

Apparently Nian Sheng was a little impulsive, almost jogging to the gate of Jiang's house, maybe because those few steps showed signs of life, Nian Sheng ran to the door and stopped abruptly.

The disciple guarding the gate was startled, saw the person coming, and said with a sigh of relief: "It scared me, I thought some outsiders were going to force their way in. Mr. Nian, Mr. Si came back in the morning, why did you arrive?" here."

Nian Quesheng put away the hostility on his face, turned his head and said, "Have you had guests at your house this year?"

"Yes. A group of girls came, and the second lady came out to pick them up. It seems that they knew each other before. The girl at the beginning looked very familiar to me. Listening to their speech, I don't know if it's called Lin or Yuan... Mr. Nian, what's the matter?" gone?"

Nian Butsheng glanced inside, no matter how anxious and irritable he was, he was woken up by the sentence "Second Madam came out to pick it up in person".So he forced a smile and said: "It's okay, I'll just come here for a walk, I won't go in for now." He took out a letter from his arms, "When those girls leave, I will give it to your fourth son, but don't say anything. I've been here. When he asked, he said it was sent by a cat."

The guard disciple felt that he had heard it wrong: "...a cat?"

"You heard me right." Nian took two steps back, sighed softly, "Remember, don't say I've been here, thank you very much."

Before the disciple had time to call him, Nian Quesheng opened a door somewhere and left.

Back at Qianhuandu, Nian Quesheng sat on the bed and began to quietly lose himself in a trance.

Ruan Ruan was promoted in the year, but the year should not be promoted.It probably knew that Nian had something on his mind, so he stopped pestering him and retreated obediently.After a while, he took another ball of wool and put it in his hand, as if sharing his most precious plaything with Nian Qusheng, trying to tell him not to frown again.

But Nian Quesheng still didn't say a word, he stroked Ruan Ruan's hair, wondering what he was thinking.

He was probably thinking that he had already arrived at the gate of Jiang's house just now, and it was only a few steps away from Jiang Dongshen, so why didn't he go in.

But he thought again, so what if he went in, walked up to Jiang's family, pointed at Jiang Dongshen and said to Yuan Ci, "Don't touch him, he's mine"?

Yuan Ci went to Jiang's family to propose marriage. For a new family, with a fairy behind him to caress the flowers, the future is boundless.There is nothing wrong with marrying another century-old fairy gate.On the contrary, the marriage between the small family and everyone is a good lead for both parties to get what they need.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are even well matched, a golden and jade marriage.And I seem to be the one who is really not worthy of Jiang Dongchen, not to mention that it only makes him a little bit of support to be worthy of Jiang Dongchen, and it is also attached by Xuanyue, and it does not belong to him in the end.

In the eyes of the Jiang family, he is the best friend of the Fourth Young Master Jiang, the younger brother of the Fourth Young Master Jiang, and even the savior of the Fourth Young Master Jiang, but no one would use the word "lover" to promote Nian and Jiang Dong. Shen connected.

Compared with the interests of the family, and the many titles and reputations that involve fetters, sincerity is really worth a few catties.

He thinks this way not because he thinks that the Jiang family cannot escape the customs of fame and wealth, but because if the huge Jiang family does something harmful to him for the sake of getting promoted.That really shouldn't be.

In the past, she didn't care about Sheng Sheng, and Yuan Ci didn't pose any threat, but now she has become the original suzerain, and behind her is the Yuan family who hides her edge. Sitting in the arms of the gods, the immortal strokes the flowers.

To put it bluntly, if it really comes down to something, whether it’s a close friend or an old friend, everyone has their own home to protect, and they have to do things for their own home that may harm others.This is justified and understandable.

Unfortunately, Nian Butsheng has no family to protect him.

Sometimes people can't really be with whoever they want to be with, and they can't really avoid whoever they don't want to spend the rest of their lives with.

This lesson from the past is Nian Quesheng's long-sleeping mother.

However, when Nian was promoted, his heart was in a state of turmoil, and he buried his cheeks in the arched knees and arms, calmly and turbulently.

No one in the Jiang family knew about the unspeakable relationship between the two of them. Even if Jiang Dongshen refused Yuan Ci's marriage proposal, even if he tried to argue with reason, it was just a one-sided statement without evidence.Although the relationship between them is as solid as a rock, the connection between them is really as thin as a reed.

Unknowingly, the sun is setting and the night is slowly embracing the earth, and the setting sun slanting in through the window is getting darker little by little.

The dusk is fading, and the light moon is in the middle of the sky.

Ruan Ruan saw that Nian was promoted but still had no intention of recovering, and it was inconvenient to bother her.Firstly, I know that I can't speak, and secondly, under such circumstances, people who are immersed in their emotions wholeheartedly cannot listen to other people's speech.

At this time, the Jiang family's affairs were not settled, and it was inconvenient for the girl to stay overnight, so Yuan Ci took her girls to leave first, and Jiang Dongshen reluctantly sent them to the door. These people just left, Jiang Dongshen Just turn around and go home.The disciple who was guarding the gate stopped him: "Fourth Young Master, your letter."

Jiang Dongshen took it, and roughly guessed who wrote it through the back of the paper.He was overjoyed at first, then suddenly surprised, and asked, "Who sent it?"

The doorkeeper disciple still couldn't figure out what it meant to be promoted after a new year, so he said concisely: "Cat."

Only then did Jiang Dongshen heave a sigh of relief. After thanking him, he returned to the main hall, apologized to everyone first, and said helplessly, "I have caused trouble to the family."

Mu Lian waved his hand, and said in a warm voice: "You rushed back and talked with them for a long time without taking a breath, go back and pay attention, think about it, and talk about it tomorrow."

Jiang Dongshen nodded, saluted, and returned to his room.

As soon as the door was closed, he opened the letter.

It's... Xizhou song.

Hong Fei is all over Xizhou, and Wang Lang goes to the brothel.The height of the building can't be seen, and the head of the railing is all day long.

Jiang Dongshen lit up the seal on the back of his right hand, and after the voices were combined, he only made a gentle and helpless tone and said with a smile: "What kind of Xizhou song are you writing, do you miss me?"

Nian Butsheng didn't want to wait until this late, so he pretended to be slightly dissatisfied: "Brother really told me to wait, are you coming back tonight? If you don't come back, I will lock the door, and I won't even give you a quilt." You are warm."

Jiang Dongshen said apologetically, "Maybe I can't do it today, but I will definitely come back tomorrow."

Nian Kesheng sighed lightly, smiled a little disappointedly and said, "Ah, then I'm going to stay alone in the vacant room."

After laughing, he said: "What is it that you can't get away from yourself, brother really can't tell me?"

Jiang Dong pondered for a while, and still put his voice warmly: "It's not enough now, I'll tell you when I get back, okay?"

Nian Qusheng was betting with himself whether Jiang Dongshen would accompany him to face these messy family ties, but he was really disappointed to hear that he still wanted to hide it, so he just curled his lips and said with an imperceptible wry smile: "Okay, brother is going to hide it from me."

Jiang Dongshen was noncommittal, and evaded: "Have you eaten yet?"

Nian Quesheng felt like a torrential rain had soaked his heart, listening to him dodge, he couldn't help being wet and muddy.He laughed at himself a little bit, but he and Jiang Dongshen wanted to hide from each other and each lied.Glancing at the dark and silent side room: "Eat."

Jiang Dongshen was extremely sensitive, smelling something different, and hurriedly asked, "Ah Sheng, what's wrong with you."

But Nian Sheng smiled, lowered his eyes and said, "Guess."

The two of you talked about irrelevant topics sentence by sentence, which was far away from the truth.But Nian Sheng leaned back against the wall, closed his eyes and said, "Of course I miss my brother. You don't have me in Jiang's house, but you still have your mother. I'm here but you have no one else to miss." , no relatives and no reason, I'm very poor, isn't it."

Jiang Dongshen was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I have something to do, Ah Sheng, wait for me."

"I've been waiting for you." Nian Quesheng forced a smile, "Brother, go quickly."
