dimly lit

The wedding in Rong's residence was extremely lively and extravagant.He also invited many relatives and friends, and the neighbors lived there. It can be said that he has done enough pomp and circumstance, so that after the New Year's Eve, it is still a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys after dinner.

Rong Hong, the young master of the Rong family, and Xu Tanya, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, are both childhood sweethearts, talented and beautiful.They are all well-known local families, well-matched.The two respect each other as guests, and the harp and harp sing in harmony.

Rumor has it that after the big wedding, his appearance has changed a lot. He used to be a playful and troubled young man, but now he manages the family business well, and he is humble enough to ask his younger brother for advice. Hundreds of families, to business ethics.Even the old lady Rong of Rong's mansion has become much healthier.

Apart from these, there is one more thing that everyone loves to talk about, and that is the first servant in the Rong Mansion who ran away from home in anger.

This servant, Miss Liu, the bustard of Zuiyuan Tower, is very familiar with it.Now she is in the backyard of her shop, playing a light tune leisurely and sweeping the yard.

"Oh, sister, are you done? I just finished sweeping the backyard, but I'm not lazy."

Shen Anhuai saw Sister Liu coming with her handkerchief clutched, she hurriedly put the broom away, and greeted her with a smile.

"You boy, you know that my sister will not punish you for being lazy, right?"

Sister Liu chuckled, and flicked the handkerchief, a strong scent of powder and makeup came to her nostrils.

"Hey, my sister has always been kind."

Shen Anhuai smiled mischievously, and hurriedly pulled Sister Liu to sit down at the stone table.

"Hey, let me tell you, the people from your Rong family came to look for you today. I concealed it for you, but they seem to believe that you are here, so they gave me a sum of money and told me not to make you too tired. Take care of you."

"Tsk. Rong Xun?"

"No, that man is not a young servant, he looks taller than standing, wearing an indigo velvet sweater, it seems that he is following the order of Master Rong."

"I knew he wouldn't."

After finishing speaking, Shen Anhuai resentfully kicked the broom standing beside him, and the broom fell down in response, with a bang that showed someone's anger.

"Hey, did my broom offend you? An Huai, I'll keep the money for you. If you're still sulking like this every day, smashing this, throwing that, I won't refund the money."

Knowing that Sister Liu was joking, she intentionally made him happy, but Shen Anhuai couldn't laugh no matter what.Although after leaving Rong's mansion, the first place he thought of was going back to Xifang Poor Street, but that would definitely be the first place Rong Xun looked for.

What's more, he is not in Rong's mansion, and he needs to earn money to support himself.But when he went to Rong's mansion, he had already completely resigned, and he will go there to earn a monthly salary in a while.After wandering aimlessly on the street for a long time, Shen Anhuai thought of Zuiyuan Tower.Because of Amusha's incident, this place is probably the last place Rong Xun would like to come to.

But what Sister Liu said just now, the person who was sent to deliver the money was not like Yun Shen, but more like someone who served Master Rong.Since Master Rong knew he was here, he still did such a thing, did he want the two of them to live in peace?But what about Rong Xun, does he know that Zuiyuan Tower is the destination? Has he come here to look for it?

Tsk, this guy Rong Xun, I'm afraid he won't come looking for him.Smiling all day long, it's unfeeling to be ruthless!

Thinking about it, Shen Anhuai couldn't help exhaling another breath of anger, and punched hard on the stone table. Sister Liu shouted from the side in distress, "Hey, hey, I was afraid that the stone table would be shattered, looking up and down carefully."

"Let me tell you, why are you acting like a pissed-off daughter-in-law who ran back to her mother's house as soon as she got angry? Didn't you say that you didn't like working in Rong's mansion?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, you're not, you're not. You act like a baby when you're happy, and you pout when you're unhappy. Sigh, you really look like Xiao Jinye, I can't help you."

Xiao Jinye is Sister Liu's younger brother, who died unexpectedly in the year of dancing spoon.The reason why Shen Anhuai and Sister Liu are as close as brothers and sisters is that apart from Shen Anhuai's clever mouth and clever appearance, it is also because of the contact, Sister Liu feels that this person has a similar personality to Xiao Jinye, so she can't help but gradually become her younger brother.

Hearing that Sister Liu mentioned Little Golden Leaf, Shen Anhuai stopped letting his thoughts wander with interest, and chatted with Sister Liu about household chores and chores, and the atmosphere gradually became active.

But in the dead of night, Shen Anhuai couldn't help becoming irritable.

Sister Liu arranged a small side room for him.The place is small, but clean and tidy, and fairly quiet.

As for why Shen Anhuai ran away in anger, Sister Liu didn't ask too much.Even Shen Anhuai was at a loss when he thought about it.

Everything became strange after Rong Hong got married.Since the time I went to Gulian Pavilion with Rong Xun, it was the first time I saw Rong Xun who didn't smile much.

After listening to Shen Anhuai's words, Rong Huang was dull for a moment, and then had a long talk with Shen Anhuai earnestly and earnestly.He had already seen the clues of the two after the self-love Gu, but he hadn't confirmed it.That day when Shen Anhuai personally confessed everything, Rong Hong was a little surprised, but he didn't strongly reject it.

This made Shen Anhuai a lot more relaxed, and when he returned to the Rong Mansion, he was in a much better mood.But since returning, Rong Xun first started to smile and became polite and alienated, then he didn't come to Shen Anhuai much, and even found that he was going out with Rong Xun again, so he punished him to do some trivial things with Yun Shen.

To ask the reason, maybe Rong Xun is really busy with business, or maybe he is really avoiding seeing.After three or five times, Shen Anhuai got angry and slipped out while the night was dark.

Hearing what Sister Liu said about Master Rong sending someone to send money to settle himself down, Shen Anhuai became very angry.Closing his eyes, thinking of that drunken snowy night, the elegant aroma of wine on Rong Xun seemed to still linger on the tip of his nose.And after that, Rong Xun's deliberate indifference formed a stark contrast, like a thin sharp knife, slashing at Shen Anhuai's heart.

After tossing and turning, finally falling asleep, even the dream was full of Rong Xun's smile, and the tenderness that lingered in his ears when he hugged her.Woke up in the middle of the night with tears in the corners of my eyes.Shen Anhuai felt the warm liquid falling from his cheeks, and was at a loss for a moment, angrily picked up the thin blanket covering his body, threw it on the ground, and then hugged his knees and cried.

Also sleepless at night, there is that person who frequently appears in other people's dreams.

"Boom!"

When it was too ugly, the door was suddenly opened from the room, and Yun Shen was so frightened that he almost fell out of bed.He didn't even bother to put on a coat, so he hurried to the room of the second young master who made the noise.

Her hair was disheveled, her collar was slightly open, and there was no friendly and warm smile in the past, only a panicked face, and Rong Xun was panting heavily, with her hands still in the posture of opening the door, looking around.

Yun Shen had never seen the second young master like this, even if he woke up from a nightmare, the second young master had never been so panic-stricken.

"Yun Shen, I just heard the sound of small stones rolling by outside. Is Mr. Shen back? He usually likes to walk by kicking stones..."

Yun Shen couldn't help but silently twitched in his heart, and sighed secretly.Ever since Shen Anhuai left home, the master calmly said "Get out, get out, find someone to keep an eye on, don't harm Xun'er", the second young master has often done this in the past few days.

"Second Young Master, Mr. Shen...he didn't come back. I have searched for the place where I should find it. Mr. Shen has not returned to Xifang."

"I'll go find him."

Yun Shen couldn't resist, so he had to appease the second young master first, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Shen Anhuai's life in Zuiyuan Tower was also not very stable.I thought I could stay here for ten days and a half months without leaving home, but within three days, Sister Liu brought a bad news.

Grandma Zhang died of illness.

With some savings on hand, and with the help of Sister Liu, Shen Anhuai returned to Xifang Poor Street and helped Hongdou arrange grandma's funeral.

Hong Dou is six or seven years younger than Shen Anhuai, but still has a childish look on his face.The death of her grandma dealt her a heavy blow, but she still stood firm behind Shen Anhuai and pretended to be strong.

Shen Anhuai knew that this little girl had the deepest relationship with her grandmother who depended on each other.As soon as grandma left, she was alone, so how could anyone feel at ease.But how can a Qinlou Chu Pavilion like Zuiyuan Tower be a place for a little girl like her to settle down?If he was still in the Rong Mansion and by Rong Xun's side before, maybe he could plead for Hongdou to stay in the Rong Mansion to work like he did back then, which would be a decent way out.

The moon is hidden and the stars are gone, and I can't sleep.The night is getting deeper, but there is still no sense of spring. After the drizzle washes away, only the chilly spring is left.

It's spring and summer again.

Hong Dou has nowhere to go, if she stays alone in the poor street, Shen Anhuai can't rest assured, so he only takes her to Zuiyuan Tower to stay overnight, and find another place tomorrow.Just as Shen Anhuai was tossing and turning on the bed, listening to the creaking of the wooden bed, a clear and rapid knock on the door brought Shen Anhuai back from his thoughts.

"Who?"

No one answered.

"What's the matter so late?"

Maybe there's something wrong with Miss Liu.On the night when he first arrived at Zuiyuan Tower, Sister Liu also made some small dishes with her own hands and came to him for a small talk.Shen Anhuai grabbed a thin coat that was casually thrown by the bed, put it on in a hurry, and opened the door.

The moonlight poured down on a tall and straight figure.Shen Anhuai raised his eyes, and seeing a smile that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, his heart was lifted into his throat, and he couldn't help breathing quickly.

The man's long hair was like splashed ink, it was simply tied up in a bun, and it was placed in a delicate white jade hair crown, with snow silk crown belts hanging down on both sides, elegant and modest.Elegant and picturesque, romantic and charming, a pair of peach blossom eyes look forward to affectionately, making people intoxicated.

Seeing this person, Shen Anhuai's first reaction was surprise, then he frowned involuntarily, slammed the door, trying to close the door to avoid seeing him.But he heard the person outside the door hiss, gasped, and hummed in pain.

"Rong Xun! You... are you okay?"

I saw Rong Xun squatting on the ground, with his back to Shen Anhuai, lowered his head and put his hands in his arms, unable to see his expression clearly, he seemed to be sobbing in pain.When the door was closed just now, Shen Anhuai didn't notice the strength. Now that he thought about it, he might have used too much force and accidentally pinched Rong Xun's fingers.

Everyone knows that Rong Xun's slender and white hands are used to make calculations. There are many businesses in the Rong family that need to be taken care of by him, and Rong Xun is also a good player at playing the piano.If such a pair of hands were destroyed in his own hands, Shen Anhuai would probably have to use his own arms and go to the Rong Mansion to take the "arm" to plead guilty.

"Rong Xun?"

That figure was still gently undulating, and for a moment it seemed to be sobbing softly, like a weak child.Shen Anhuai panicked, how could this be possible?To make someone like Rong Xun cry in pain, it must be a serious injury.With a flick of his clothes, Shen Anhuai squatted down next to Rong Xun, and carefully asked about Rong Xun's injuries, and it took a while for Rong Xun to mutter something vaguely in a low voice.

"pain."

"Ah... I know you're in pain, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Rong Xun, why don't you come in and I'll ask Sister Liu for some medicine."

The flustered Shen Anhuai just turned to leave, but was held by the corner of his clothes.Turning around and looking, Rong Xun was still squatting on the ground, obediently buried his head, but stretched out a hand to grab the hem of Shen Anhuai's gown.

"Tsk, don't make trouble, I'll find a way for you."

"I didn't make a fuss, and I have a way."

"any solution?"

"..."

"I'll leave if you don't say anything."

"come here."

Shen Anhuai obediently turned around and squatted down, looking at the pitiful Rong Xun quietly.

"I'm here, let's talk."

"Blow."

"what?"

"Finger, just blow and blow, it will be fine."

"Master Rong Er! How old are you!"

Although he said so, Shen Anhuai felt ashamed, and still stared at him. He grabbed the finger that Rong Xun handed over with a hundred unwillingness in his heart. Lightly tap Shen Anhuai's lips with his finger, stay for a moment, then lift his face with a smile, and with the usual spring breeze smile, wipe the finger that was pressed on Shen Anhuai's lips just now on his own lips.

Shen Anhuai suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and turned to leave with a blushing face, but was pulled back firmly by Rong Xun, holding him in his arms.

"If you struggle again, I will overthrow you."

"What are you doing! Aren't you very good at deceiving people?"

"The pain in your finger is lying to you."

"I'm very worried, okay! You still make such a joke, almost thinking that I hurt your hand. You... what else do you have to lie to me? "

"I like you, I'm not lying to you."

After finishing speaking, Rong Xun rubbed the person in his arms vigorously, as if he wanted to rub it into his body.Shen Anhuai's face was pressed against Rong Xun's shoulder, the familiar body fragrance made him feel crisp, the soft fabric was pressed against his face, and his breath was filled with his smell.

"You just lied to me, saying that you like me...you come to me when you think of me, and throw me aside when you don't think of me."

"I was wrong, I'm sorry. Because I saw the disobedient An Huai, I got a little sulking."

"disobedient?"

"Come home with me, okay?"

Rong Xun pushed aside the broken hair on the forehead of the person in front of him, his eyes were full of affection, and he gently kissed his forehead.Shen Anhuai resisted again, and angrily stretched out his hand to gently push Rong Xun away, as if he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he decided not to go back.

"Hongdou, I've already taken it back to the Rong Mansion."

Rong Xun was not annoyed, he held Shen Anhuai's hand tightly, and smiled slowly.
