It was cold and snowy, making it difficult to walk on the road, but the red clay stove in the temple made people feel warm and drowsy.
Zhang Cheng was picking through the bookshelf, and he already had a pile of books with various covers on hand, some of which had very revealing and sexy postures. Xu Lianlang took a peek and quickly looked away.
Zhang Cheng found it strange and teased her, "You are no longer young this year, why are you so shy."
Xu Lianlang's face turned red when she was asked about such a thing face to face. She covered Lu Jieming's ears with her hands. Looking at Zhang Cheng's old and disrespectful look, she felt a little headache. She whispered: "His Royal Highness is still here! Taifu should be careful when speaking. I am not young, but...it...doesn't matter whether I understand or not, it doesn't depend on my age."
The more she talked, the less confident she became. Judging from her age, an ordinary woman would have at least already had a marriage, not to mention getting married, yet she still wanted to enter the palace. She sighed and muttered: "I don't know if I am twenty-five years old." Is there anyone who wants it when I leave the palace?”
Lu Jieming covered his ears by her, but he still listened to their conversation word for word. He looked at Xu Lianlang in surprise, and only belatedly realized that his sister was of age to get married.
He moved his head slightly and stared at her with his phoenix eyes unblinking. Xu Lianlang thought it was his own hands that made him uncomfortable. Seeing that Zhang Cheng stopped talking about those inappropriate topics for children, he loosened his grip on him. Ear hands.
She lay on the wicker chair and swayed her upper body, while Lu Jieming sat on the small stool next to her and watched over her.
Zhang Cheng moved the pile of books over, patted the dirt on his hands, and said, "Take it back and take a look. I have many more books here. Although they are miscellaneous books, there are quite a lot of stories about the housewife, sisters-in-law, and husband and wife in the book." The way to get along can be understood through enlightenment. ”
Seeing that Xu Lianlang's face was full of shyness and disgusted with the explicit cover, he said "Oh", "You will get married sooner or later, there is nothing to be shy about, look more and save yourself from being made trouble by the evil mother-in-law. The husband is half-hearted in finding a concubine, it says There are so many.”
He had the feeling that "the old woman is selling melons and she is boasting about her own purchases", and suddenly thought of something, patted her head, moved a stool and sat in front of Xu Lianlang, and asked enthusiastically: "Has the marriage been arranged at home? Is there anyone you like? ”
Xu Lianlang subconsciously touched the carved hairpin on his bun, and the base of his white and tender ears turned a few inches red, "It doesn't count as an engagement... Let's just say we have the right person."
She just accepted Zheng Chengzhuo's hairpin and exchanged a few letters. There was no matchmaker to testify, and no parents to protect her. In fact, it was a reluctant relationship.
She lowered her head, showing embarrassment, and hesitated several times, but this expression coupled with her already red face could easily be misunderstood as being shy when talking about her sweetheart.
Zhang Cheng asked curiously: "What is it called?"
"Zheng Chengzhuo".
Zhang Cheng stroked his beard and muttered the name several times, "Chengzhuo, Chengzhuo, yes, a good name, and the reputation sounds like a talent." He asked again, "We haven't gotten engaged yet. Is this an exchange of tokens?"
He was very sharp-eyed, probably because he had read too many story books, and he noticed the subtleties at a glance. He stared at the hairpin on Xu Lianlang's head, "It must be that hairpin. You wear it every day, which means you are very satisfied with that man. If he can wait for you to leave the palace, and you two have achieved enlightenment, you must invite me to a wedding banquet.”
Xu Lianlang explained a few words, "I'm afraid it won't work. I have to wait until I reach twenty-five, but I'm afraid he won't be able to wait."
Zhang Cheng said as if he had come before, "If he really likes you, he will wait for you until that time. If he is really willing to wait for you for so long, you can marry him with confidence. The days after marriage will be harmonious and happy, with the music of the piano and the harp singing, and so on. OK.”
Xu Lianlang said "hmm", her voice was light, and she didn't respond. She couldn't be sure about others, so she had to take care of herself. The letter at that time had made it very clear that he was free to wait or not.
If Zheng Chengzhuo marries a wife before she leaves the palace, she will also give her a big gift as a blessing.
She smiled gently, rubbed the end of the hairpin with her fingers, and raised her eyes.
She has thick black hair, smooth and beautiful, reaching her waist. As she moves, the tail of her hair swings gently. There is only one hairpin on top of her bun. There are thousands of unique hairpins, but this one is the only favorite. The meaning of branch.
But in fact, Xu Lianlang really just took the hairpin and inserted it into her hair. She didn't take it seriously as a token. When Mrs. Zhang mentioned it today, she felt that she shouldn't take it out so casually. She inserted the hairpin into her hair again. , thinking about going back, I put it back in the cabinet and locked it.
She lay back on the wicker chair. The wicker chair rocked gently. She felt very comfortable and did not notice Lu Jieming's expression beside her.
Lu Jieming sat upright and was so focused that he even leaned towards Xu Lianlang. There was an indescribable anger in his heart. His fingers were curled and his teeth were clenched.
He didn't expect that besides Xu Lianpo, there would be other people trying to compete with him for Xu Lianlang's heart.
Xu Lianlang's heart is so small. He just hopes that this heart can only hold him. But this heart has been hidden from so many people without him knowing it.
And this person was obvious, which irritated him even more.
Xu Lianpo is his biological brother, he is destined to be born, and he is connected by blood, which is unmatched by others. But what the hell is this guy? He just got a head start and got to know Xu Lianlang first. And marrying Xu Lianlang was simply a fantasy. Lu Jieming felt that Xu Lianlang was so good that no one was worthy of her, and no one should even think about it.
He was extremely jealous of even Xu Lianpo, let alone this person who, like him, had no blood relationship with Xu Lianlang.
He was burning with anger, and his handsome face was expressionless, except for the flexed masseter muscles on his side and his neck, which was completely red with anger.
Lu Jieming's emotions and anger are invisible, but they will show up in other parts of his body. The most obvious place is his neck. The Adam's apple that has just grown up can't help but roll up and down, and the redness dyes his jade-like figure inch by inch. Skin, white jade turned into pigeon blood.
Xu Lianlang saw it at a glance, and she was a little anxious, "Did you eat something bad? Why are you so red?"
She raised her hand to touch it, but before she could touch it, Lu Jieming dodged it.
Xu Lianlang touched the empty space and didn't feel embarrassed. He was only worried that he would eat something bad and get a rash on his body, because his neck was indeed too red.
"Let me see if you have a rash, but I won't touch it."
Lu Jieming stood up, she was sitting, and he was standing, condescending, which gave Xu Lianlang an inexplicable feeling of breathlessness.
Xu Lianlang realized that he was having trouble...
Although I don’t know why, I still try to coax him out of habit.
"If you feel uncomfortable, let's go back first?" She said and was about to pack up her things and go out. Zhang Cheng watched all this, amazed in his heart, and there was a strange brilliance on his face with deep lines like tree bark.
Xu Lianlang didn't know what Lu Jieming was causing trouble, but he said he could see it clearly. When he first came here, he was the elder sister and the younger sister. Every word he said, he cleverly incorporated invisible coquettishness into these two words.
When Xu Lianlang's marriage was mentioned, he became like this. What if it wasn't jealousy?
It had nothing to do with him, he stood aside and watched the two of them trying hard to coax, while the other was silently aggrieved.
The picture is really pretty. Lu Jieming has grown taller, and the man's posture frame has taken shape. Standing next to Xu Lianlang now, he looks more matched than when Zhang Cheng first saw them. It's a pity...the age difference is too big...and the status difference is too big.
He stood still with his hands behind his hands and silently put the pile of notebooks into the backpack that Xu Lianlang brought, while watching the two people.
When Lu Jieming didn't want physical contact, Xu Lianlang wouldn't do anything intimate. She had to persuade her with words, but Lu Jieming didn't respond at all. It's also nice to see a child throwing a tantrum.
But it's really annoying.
She didn't like Meng Gourd and was angry with him. She grabbed the basket on her back and was about to leave. She didn't ask him any more questions and walked out the door first.
There were too many words in the notebook, which made her shoulders hurt. She walked a few steps in a muffled voice, and suddenly felt a lightness on her shoulders. The stern-faced young man had already taken over the backpack.
Xu Lianlang was happy. Don't be awkward, but he would always put her first.
Just when she thought he was going to put the backpack on her back, he turned around with his straight body, holding the backpack with one hand, and placed it back on the wicker chair with a clang.
The wicker chair shook twice.
Zhang Cheng didn't react and looked at him blankly.
His attitude was quite respectful, "Master, miscellaneous books are harmful to the body and eyes. It is better for my sister to read less."
"That...looking more...will help the relationship between husband and wife..."
The veins on Lu Jieming's neck were exposed, "It's useless. The master is old and confused."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Taifu any chance to reply to his words. He put his arm around Xu Lianlang's shoulders and walked out quickly.
The young man's arms were very long and strong. Xu Lianlang was hugged by him, and almost half of his body was pressed against his chest.
His voice was filled with a throaty smile, "Why is my sister's hairpin broken? Let me fix it for my sister."
Xu Lianlang's face was full of surprise. Her voice was high and she didn't believe it at all. It was obvious that she had just touched it, "How is it possible!"
Lu Jieming shrugged innocently, raised his hand and took the hairpin from her hair. In an instant, the woman's flying green hair spread past the young man's eyes.
He raised his hand, and the cuffs slid down to his forearms, revealing the cold bone lines of his wrists. Between the lines on his palms, there lay a hairpin that was broken in the middle.
Xu Lianlang took a long breath, in disbelief, and took the hairpin from his hand to examine it carefully.
It was indeed broken, and it was broken neatly.
"How...how could this happen?"
She touched the broken place and felt sad, wasn't it? She was just thinking about putting it away.
Lu Jieming spoke slowly, his lazy stance revealing the boy's cunning, "The craftsmanship is too poor and the hardness is not enough. I'll give it to my sister tomorrow."
Xu Lianlang was weak and said, "Come on, what can you give me as a gift? We are both the same, poor and destitute, and our wallets are cleaner than our faces."
"If you have money to buy hairpins, why not fill up our food jar first?"
Lu Jieming put his hands behind his back and held them together. There were two very obvious red marks on the palm of his other hand, which were caused by breaking something hard.
He smiled so brightly that his eyebrows were clear and his phoenix eyes were shining, "When the time comes, just sister will wear the gift I gave you."
Xu Lianlang thought his child was joking and was about to put the hairpin in his arms and put it away when Lu Jieming stretched out his hand again, "Sister, give it to me. I'll see if I can mend it."
"I'm afraid it's impossible." Xu Lianlang looked at the fracture and felt that there was little hope of repairing it.
Lu Jieming patted his chest, "You have to let me try first."
Xu Lianlang had no other choice, so he left it to her.
She was dejected on the way back. The hairpin didn't mean anything, but at least it was given to her by another man. It couldn't be used as a token, but the percentage could prove that she was still attractive.
Why did it end like this... Was God telling her... There was no chance of them both?
Lu Jieming no longer held her in his arms. He had achieved his goal and was naturally in a good mood. Holding the two hairpins in his hand, he walked to the river embankment and threw them upwards. He was only half an inch away from being buried at the bottom of the river. .
He thought for a moment, but unexpectedly, Xu Lianlang turned his head and smiled, his eyes clear and clear to show that he did not have such disgusting thoughts.
Of course Xu Lianlang couldn't think of his true thoughts. She was just worried that he was standing too close to the river embankment. He was almost walking along the side of the river embankment guardrail. She had no choice but to get close to the guardrail, stretched out her hand and grabbed his wrist, trying to Pull him away.
A maidservant walked towards her. She was wearing a loose dress with the hem touching the ground. The collar was very large and stood up high, almost covering half of her face.
She waited for the left side of her face with her sleeve and approached Xu Lianlang silently.
Lu Jieming looked at Xu Lianlang's expression intently and did not notice this person approaching. By the time he noticed him coming, it was too late.
The unfrozen ice on the river bank shattered with a loud noise. The river water surged out of the broken ice and quickly submerged Xu Lianlang.
The maid who knocked Xu Lianlang into the river embankment stuck her head out, revealing large burn scars on her left face from the brow bone to the mandible.
The scars trembled crazily on the maid's face, which was shaking with excitement.
