"Mr. Xu, how could he come to see Rui Niang today?" Rui Niang was a little surprised at Xu Lang's sudden pushing the door and entering. She put down her pen and looked at Xu Lang with tenderness.

Seeing that the beauty had gentle eyes and beautiful face, Xu Lang suddenly jumped, "I'm here to see you when I'm happy today." He walked a few steps forward and saw the painting Ruiniang was painting.

"The sparse shadows are dark and the water is shallow, and the faint fragrance floats at dusk. Do you like plum blossoms?" Xu Lang sat slowly beside Rui Niang. Rui Niang wore a long brocade dress with white pear blossoms today, which made her face look bright like the moonlight and even more gentle. As soon as Xu Lang approached her, he smelled the fragrance, like the breath of pear blossoms.

"Yes, but Rui Niang's plum blossoms have always been poorly painted."

Rui Niang answered Xu Lang's words, but her body turned to the left and deliberately stayed away from Xu Lang.

The so-called "rejection but rejection" is a miraculous way to use for someone like Xu Lang who regards himself as a gentleman.

Sure enough, when Xu Lang saw that Ruiniang was far away from him, his heart tightened slightly. He thought he had done something wrong, so he quickly smiled at Ruiniang and said, "It's okay, I think Ruiniang's plum blossom painting is very good, but the stamens are less detailed. Come on, I'll teach you how to draw."

Xu Lang said that, then stood up, turned behind Rui Niang, and gently held Rui Niang's right hand. Xu Lang felt the hand he was holding trembling. He looked at Rui Niang who was almost hugged by him, and slowly smiled.

He held Rui Niang's hand and took Rui Niang to draw on the plum blossom stamen, and Rui Niang was wrapped in his arms. Xu Lang took Rui Niang to draw on the plum blossom stamen, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the snow-white back of the snow-white neck exposed outside the clothes. Xu Lang was lost because he stared at Rui Niang's back of the neck. The plum blossom stamen was slowly gone. Rui Niang smiled and seemed to have some effort inadvertently, bringing Xu Lang's strokes back to the journey. Xu Lang was still lost for Rui Niang's snow-white back of the neck, and did not show Rui Niang's small movements at all.

After drawing a plum blossom, Xu Lang withdrew his eyes to Rui Niang's snow-white neck, but was not willing to let go of Rui Niang's hand.

Rui Niang also pretended to be unexpected and let Xu Lang hold her hand. She looked back at Xu Lang and smiled: "Mr. Xu's plum blossom painting is so good."

The two were already very close. When Rui Niang turned around suddenly, her cheeks rubbed against Xu Lang's cheek. After Rui Niang realized this, she retreated back in panic, but Xu Lang did not follow her.

Xu Lang directly pressed Ruiniang on the desk and looked at the gentle Ruiniang under him. Xu Lang's Adam's apple rolled two or three times.

The beauty was in her arms, and the fragrance of pear blossoms on her body was filled with the beauty's fragrance. Xu Lang sniffed it and couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart. He suddenly hugged Rui Niang in his arms with great excitement, and called out softly, "Ri Niang..."

Xu Lang wanted to take Rui Niang to the bed. Xu Lang didn't know what was wrong with him. He had always been in love with him a few days ago, but this time he couldn't help it. Rui Niang was a clerk from Chui Cui Pavilion. She never accepted customers, only selling her skills but not her own. She was also a daughter in the past few years. Unfortunately, her father was dismissed from her post for corruption. She suffered all her poverty and had to fall into the dust.

But for Xu Lang, Rui Niang is a different kind of fair woman. She was born with a noble family, but she became a fair person because her fate was unpredictable. Moreover, she was self-righteous and never sold herself. How could such a woman be compared with ordinary fair woman? Moreover, Rui Niang is gentle and charming, and has both talent and appearance, which is even better than some real daughters.

Since meeting Rui Niang on the Lantern Festival, Xu Lang has lost his soul for Rui Niang. But even though the two often meet each other, Xu Lang has never surpassed the line. However, today, perhaps the fragrance on the beauty's body is too pleasant, and he is indeed a little difficult to control himself.

Xu Lang wanted to stop Rui Niang from going to the bed, but how could Rui Niang make Xu Lang succeed so easily? She pushed Xu Lang away with force and pretended to be a little angry: "Mr. Xu, Rui Niang has never been a show but not a body. How could you insult me ​​like this?"

Xu Lang's love affair faded slightly, but he forgot that Rui Niang could not treat such a casual woman. Xu Lang took Rui Niang's hand and said, "Rui Niang, can't you see my heart yet? I am different from those outside. I am sincere to you."

Rui Niang looked at Xu Lang and sighed, lowered her head, and said with a sad and helpless look: "Ri Niang is not an insincere person. Lord Xu's thoughts can be felt, but Lord Xu, Rui Niang may be leaving the capital next month."

Xu Lang held Rui Niang's hand and trembled, "What did you say?"

"My cousin came and said that he had set up a place in the countryside and asked me to go back and marry him." Rui Niang lowered her head, but there was a smile in her eyes. She knew clearly that Xu Lang was about to take the bait.

When Xu Lang heard that Ruiniang was going back to the countryside to get married, he became anxious. He said, "Riniang, how can you go to a place like that in the countryside? Do you know what it means to go to the countryside? Carrying water, chopping wood, weaving cloth, how can you use your delicate jade hands to do such rough work?"

Rui Niang sighed, "But Lord Xu, we brothel women, have been wandering all their lives. Our greatest wish is to have a stable home. My cousin is an honest person... Life in the countryside may be harder, but Rui Niang has a home from now on, which is the greatest happiness for Rui Niang."

Xu Lang hugged Ruiniang again without thinking and said, "Rui Niang, if you want a home, I can give it to you too. Why go to a place like that in the countryside?"

Rui Niang looked surprised and said, "Mr. Xu..."

"What, Rui Niang, don't you want to marry me? Am I not as good as your cousin in the countryside?" Xu Lang said.

Rui Niang quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, Lord Xu is like a cloud in the sky to Rui Niang, how dare Rui Niang climb to this point."

Xu Lang felt relieved and said, "How can you be considered a high-selling person to me? Rui Niang, you are gentle and elegant. If you marry me, it will be my blessing."

Ruiniang seemed to have concerns, "Then... Madam. I heard that Lord Xu and his wife have always been very affectionate. If Ruiniang inserted it rashly, wouldn't it become annoying?"

Xu Lang leaned over Ruiniang's slender waist and said, "Don't worry, this is not a problem. As long as you are willing to marry me, nothing else is a problem. And you are not annoying. You are so gentle and lovely, how could I dislike you?"

Rui Niang nodded then. Seeing Rui Niang's well-behaved look, Xu Lang's heart was turbulent again. He tentatively pushed Rui Niang towards the bed. This time, Rui Niang did not reject him, but responded half embarrassedly.

Rui Niang knew how to catch a man. Since someone like Xu Lang said he wanted to marry her, as long as there was no other accident, he would definitely do his job as promised. It would be better to give him some sweetness now so that Xu Lang's heart can stay with her more.

In the distance, on the second floor of Jucui Pavilion, Zhao Wanfeng peeked at Xu Lang and Rui Niang with a long thousand-mile eyes, constantly exclaiming.

Xu Jinyan's father was so stingy. Although Zhao Wanfeng could not hear Xu Lang's voice, she could see Xu Lang's movements. The movements of reaching out and holding her waist were really not inferior to the young man.

"It's amazing." Zhao Wanfeng sighed.

"What's so great?"

It seemed that someone was asking her, but Zhao Wanfeng didn't think much about it and replied directly: "Xu Jinyan's father is so amazing..." Halfway through, Zhao Wanfeng realized that something was wrong. She was the only one here, so why did someone suddenly ask her?

Zhao Wanfeng immediately looked up, saw the person coming clearly and screamed strangely: "Happy Xu Xu Xu Jinyan?"

Xu Jinyan stepped back and sat on the chair beside him and said, "Thank you for changing my surname."

"Why are you here?" Zhao Wanfeng was surprised. How could Xu Jinyan appear for no reason.

Xu Jinyan smiled and said, "The layout of your Jucui Pavilion is not complicated. You have taken me away twice. If I can't remember it, wouldn't I be too stupid?"

Zhao Wanfeng thought about it and said... No, what is it? Is the point here? The point is clearly that Xu Jinyan broke into a private house.

Zhao Wanfeng wanted to retort, but before he could speak, he only heard Xu Jinyan say lightly: "Miss Wanfeng, your tea here is pretty good."

Zhao Wanfeng became depressed in an instant.

OK OK OK, you are the master who is holding my handle.

"What's wrong with you? Your father's progress is OK. Do you want to see it? Under this situation, I guess I can give you my entire sister or brother immediately." Zhao Wanfeng handed Qianliyan to Xu Jinyan.

Xu Jinyan pulled the corner of his mouth and pulled Zhao Wanfeng's clairvoyance aside and said, "No, I'm not so unfilial yet."

Then she glanced at the Qianliyan in Zhao Wanfeng's hand and said, "Qianliyan... You are not too obscene to using this kind of thing in Jucui Pavilion?"

Qianliyan is a kind of fun thing for the rich people of the Northern Ming Dynasty. It is cylindrical, long, small, and large. The small head can just accommodate one eye. If you peek inside, you can see the scenery in the distance, so it is known as Qianliyan.

Zhao Wanfeng coughed and said, "No... I bought this Qianliyan just to be a novelty. I don't use it often.

Zhao Wanfeng smiled awkwardly, but at this moment she remembered another thing. She smiled and said, "Come on, I'll let you look at someone. You will know the wonders of this clairvoyance."

Seeing that what she said was serious, Xu Jinyan walked over and looked at it according to the direction Zhao Wanfeng adjusted for her. Qianliyan let Xu Jinyan see a wing room clearly. This wing room was very different from other wing rooms. There were no Yingying and Yanyan playing the piano and singing music, no red-faced man drinking and enjoying the joy, and no rich and rich atmosphere.

There was only one woman sitting alone, pouring wine for herself, her expression calm, as if she was sitting in a brothel but a teahouse.

"Shen Jiajue?" Xu Jinyan frowned.

Zhao Wanfeng sighed and said, "It's this living ancestor. Her husband is in the room next to her." Xu Jinyan understood a little, and she returned the clairvoyance to Zhao Wanfeng and said, "I'll go see her."

"Go quickly, go quickly, ah my ancestor, I'm just looking forward to you taking that ancestor away for me." Zhao Wanfeng was overjoyed. Xu Jinyan gently pushed open the door, and Shen Jiajue inside raised his head when he heard the sound.

"It's you?" Shen Jiajue was not surprised by the sudden visitor, but instead poured a glass of wine for Xu Jinyan.

"Mrs. Li knew who I was?" Xu Jinyan sat down, picked up the glass of wine, and drank it all in one go.

I toast you this glass of wine, to the meeting in this life. Shen Jiajue saw Xu Jinyan drink the glass of wine and the corners of his lips bent slightly: "That day, the girl pointed out to me the place where her husband was hiding. Before she could thank the girl, why did the girl leave in a hurry?"

"Because I was afraid that my wife and Li Zhengshi would show my identity."

Shen Jiajue looked at the peach blossoms on Xu Jinyan's forehead and thoughtfulness. The peach blossom birthmark on the forehead. There was only one Princess Ning'an in Jeon Beiming. She chuckled and said, "It's okay for me to be. Just be careful not to let my husband see it. My husband didn't tell the door, so he might leak it out at any time. And the last time the princess pointed out his whereabouts with me. He kept a grudge and was waiting to find the whistleblower to repair it."

Xu Jinyan smiled and repaired it hard... It was Li Yangfei's personality. She said to Shen Jiajue: "Don't Mrs. Li think I'm strange in this brothel?"

"What's strange about it? I'm not here yet. And I'm still a married woman." Shen Jiajue doesn't care.

It is Shen Jiajue's character.

"Why is Mrs. Li here?" Xu Jinyan asked.

Shen Jiajue impatiently pointed to the left wing room and said, "He has been cold for the past two days, so he has been staying at home and not staying well. When his friends shouted, they came again. He thought I didn't know. He still had old injuries on his body, which made him feel cold. I was afraid that he would die suddenly when he drank too much, so he was waiting to collect the body."

Xu Jinyan sighed. He was obviously concerned, afraid that Li Yangfei would have an accident when drinking too much, and afraid that he would go to obstruct him and would make Li Yangfei unhappy, so he could only feel wronged in the wing room next door, listening to his husband drinking and having fun with another woman next door.

Xu Jinyan has done this before. When the prince was dismissed in his previous life, Zhao Fei happened to suffer from a cough, but because he finally pulled the prince down, Zhao Fei was so happy that he had to drink and have fun with the singers in the mansion.

She was afraid that Zhao Fei's coughing disease would worsen and wanted to take care of her, but she knew that Zhao Fei was very disgusted with her being there when she was drinking and having fun with the singer, so she had to cook loquat paste and hide in the room to see Zhao Fei's situation.

Later, Zhao Fei naturally happily hugged the singer into the room after he had enough wine and food. Xu Jinyan ate the cold loquat paste with tears in his eyes.

The sour taste in it can’t be understood by myself.

Xu Jinyan looked at Shen Jiajue's forced smile and felt a little disturbed. She whispered: "Don't drink cold wine, drink some hot wine. Although it's spring, it's not too warm. Don't drink these cold ones, which hurt your stomach."

Shen Jiajue hesitated for a moment, then nodded as Xu Jinyan said.

Xu Jinyan called his maid to warm a pot of fruit wine. The fruit wine was gentle, and drinking a few more cups would not make you drunk.

Shen Jiajue looked at the fruit wine in the glass and smiled and said, "The princess is worried about me, but the princess, I actually want to get drunk. But why am I just not drunk? No matter how much wine I drink, I am very sober."

"It must be because the wine is not strong enough." Xu Jinyan smiled.

Shen Jiajue smiled, "Yes, it must be because the wine is not strong enough."

It’s not... Her heart hurts too much, and she can’t even suppress alcohol.

Shen Jiajue and Xu Jinyan, you drink one cup after another, and in a short while, they slowly finished the pot of fruit wine. The fruit wine here has ended, and the feast there has also faded.

There was a bustling crowd at the door. Li Yangfei seemed to be drunk and was helped by someone and walked out. Li Yangfei also made a loud noise, "Cui'er, I'll look for you next time when my grandfather comes."

Xu Jinyan's face turned pale when he saw Shen Jiajue's face.

Shen Jiajue slowly got up, "Thank you for the princess's hospitality. If the princess comes to Li's mansion in the future, I must have some wine and food waiting for the princess."

"Mrs. Li doesn't need to call me Princess, just call me Jinyan." Xu Jinyan said with a smile.

Shen Jiajue didn't refuse, "Jinyan, my name is Shen Jiajue, but I still like you to call me... Mrs. Li."

Xu Jinyan nodded, "I know, Mrs. Li."

Shen Jiajue stopped staying for a long time, jumped out of the window, and followed Li Yangfei's back as he was helped out and was silently waiting behind him.

Xu Jinyan opened the window and looked at the picture below. Li Yangfei was in front, and his friends helped each other, looking happy. Shen Jiajue followed him step by step, but he didn't dare to go forward at all, and his figure was lonely and lonely.
To be continued...
