The sound of the piano stopped for a long time before Su Jin came back to his senses. As soon as he took a step, he accidentally hit the parrot swing, causing the parrot swing to swing from side to side. The parrot flapped its wings and made a loud noise.
Su Jin stretched out his hand to straighten the swing frame and stop it. A yellow shadow flashed at the door of the flower hall, and a pretty figure stood at the door of the flower hall, looking at Su Jin with his mouth open in surprise.
This girl was none other than Xia Siling. After seeing her for several months, her beauty and beauty remained the same, but she looked a little less clear, and there was a hint of melancholy in her eyebrows. But the moment she saw Su Jin, Xia Siling's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother Su, you're here." It was like two people who knew each other very well, and their greetings when they met were extremely bland.
"Brother Xia, I'm here." Su Jin stepped forward with a smile and looked at Xia Siling, who was wearing a yellow shirt and pink skirt.
"I knew you would come." Xia Siling's wide-open eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she laughed again in the blink of an eye.
Su Jin smiled and said: "Why are you crying and laughing at the same time? You caught me so hard this time that I almost didn't get sent to the police by your nursing home."
Xia Siling said angrily: "Who told you to climb over the wall when you couldn't get in? It would be strange if I didn't arrest you. Was your hand injured by those dogs? Why is it bleeding?"
Xia Siling stretched out her hand to grab Su Jin's injured and bleeding hand and took a closer look. Su Jin quickly said, "It's already scarred. It's okay. It was scratched by the porcelain on your wall."
Xia Siling checked the wound and found that it was not serious. She immediately took a breath and said, "You deserve it!"
Su Jin laughed loudly. Miss Xia still had the same temper and was unforgiving.
Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't you invite me in? I've been standing outside for a long time. I'm really drunk listening to you playing the piano and singing. Well... how many flowers fall in dreams! What a dream.
How much do you know? Is this the word you filled in?"
Xia Siling said shyly: "What I wrote randomly cannot be taken seriously, especially in front of you. It is a joke. You are not allowed to tell it."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Nonsense, this word is quite artistic, but it doesn't seem to be an inherent word card format. Did you create it yourself?"
This chapter: Madman beats by hand)"
Su Jin pointed out tall and pointed: "I didn't know you had such abilities at that time. You can play the piano and write lyrics. If I had known, I would have begged you to let me enjoy it."
Xia Siling said softly: "You have never asked the slave family these things. How can you know what the slave family knows?"
Su Jin heard that there was a hint of complaint in these words and quickly changed the subject: "Does this word have a name?"
Xia Siling's face turned red, she nodded and shook her head. Su Jinqi said: "If there is something, then there is it. If there is nothing, there is nothing. Why are you nodding and shaking your head again?"
Xia Siling didn't answer, turned around and walked inside, saying, "Brother Su, come in and talk. I'll pour tea for you."
Su Jin stepped into the flower hall and glanced around. He was immediately surprised by the luxurious and luxurious furnishings in the hall. From the large tables and chairs to the small playthings, they all looked extraordinary. However, it was not surprising. Xia Songzhi
Naturally, a woman's residence must have both food and fine goods, otherwise how could she live up to his magnanimity as the leader of the Northwest Army?
Xia Siling rolled up her sleeves and poured a cup of tea for Su Jin. Su Jin took it with both hands, thanked her, looked at Xia Siling who was sitting opposite and said, "Brother Xia, that shop on Bianshui Street belongs to your family."
Xia Siling smiled and said: "Exactly. Are you satisfied with it, Brother Su? Butler Qiu has already signed a contract with your shopkeeper."
Su Jin nodded and said: "I made a reservation. I don't understand. How did you know that I was looking for a shop?"
Xia Siling said softly: "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do so. I have ordered people to follow you for a few days, and naturally all your actions are in my eyes."
Su Jin was stunned and said: "Why is this? Why do you want to help me? And you also deliberately took over the tenant's house, losing five thousand gu in compensation."
Xia Siling said: "I am willing. If I am not happy to rent it to him, I will rent it to you cheaper."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Originally I thought I had taken advantage of it, but now I can't take advantage of it."
Xia Siling was surprised and said, "Brother Su, why is this?"
Su Jin said: "Originally, I thought it was a stranger's shop, so I felt comfortable taking advantage of it. But this time I found out that it was actually Xiaodi Xia's shop. I absolutely cannot take advantage of it. The contract for this shop is still void."
Xia Siling said anxiously: "The slave family voluntarily rented it to you at a low price, but you didn't want to take advantage of it. Why can't you feel at ease with it? Besides, my family doesn't lack the rent money, so I treat you and I as friends. Can't I help you?"
"
Su Jin said seriously: "Brother Xia, I accept your offer, but I, Su Jin, never want to owe anyone anything. Others always owe me. If I owe others anything, I won't be able to sleep at night; so you and I are
Friends, it’s better not to involve money or things between friends, otherwise it will be very embarrassing.”
Xia Siling said: "Brother Su, you are overthinking. The slave family did this because they wanted to thank you for taking care of me when I was in Yingtian Mansion. I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to survive without your care during that time, so this is
I’m just helping you, why do you think it’s so complicated?”
Su Jin smiled and said: "If you thank me, you can ask me to meet, chat, drink tea, etc. There is no need to use this method. Besides, last time, when my brother found someone to provoke, didn't you already tell me in advance?
Am I sorry? This is already a thank you."
Xia Siling looked at Su Jin and bit her lips. Tears instantly fell down. Strings of pearls rolled down her cheeks and wetted her clothes in several places.
Su Jin panicked all of a sudden, stood up and stretched out his hands and said: "Little brother, little brother, why are you doing this? I accept your wishes, don't cry, don't cry."
It was okay not to persuade her, but after she persuaded her, Xia Siling cried even harder, whimpering so loudly that the birds outside began to make uneasy noises.
Su Jin stretched out his hand and neither accepted it nor accepted it. He stood aside and said repeatedly: "Xia Xiaodi, don't do this. People are looking at you and you think I bullied you."
"You're just bullying me, you're just bullying me." Xia Siling banged her little hands on the table, causing the tea cups and teapots to rattle.
"Brother Xia..."
"Don't call me Little Brother Xia, I'm a girl from my family, not your Little Brother Xia." Xia Siling cried.
Su Jin scratched his scalp and thought: "I've called you that a long time ago, and you didn't object. Who asked you to disguise yourself as a man, but now it's the reason for you to get angry again? It's really confusing."
"
"Sister Xia... don't be like this. Tell me why I bullied you. Can you tell me and I will make up for it? How about I find a high-end restaurant to hold a banquet some other day and formally apologize to you? But you always have to
Tell me, what did I do wrong?"
Xia Siling stopped crying, silently wiped away her tears and said, "Let me ask you, why haven't you found a way to come and see the slave family after you've been in the capital for so long?"
Su Jin frowned and said, "I've only been here for more than ten days. I've been really busy these past few days. Is that what you're worried about? If I don't come to see you, won't you come to see me? We've settled this matter evenly.
.”
Xia Siling said angrily: "You are telling lies with open eyes. I have been there many times, and every time I was blocked by that little maid of yours, and her words were sarcastic. You must have instigated her to do this."
Su Jin was startled and raised his hands in a hurry: "With all the conscience of heaven and earth, how could I have ever done this?"
"Without your instructions, how dare she, a servant, be so presumptuous?"
Su Jin couldn't answer. Could you tell her: My house is up and down, and everyone has a bit of a bad temper. I give them three points. No one believes this. In this era, there is a sharp distinction between superiority and inferiority.
Yan, there are some slaves who dare to disobey their masters, but they are either dealt with according to the family law, or they are sold to other families, or directly sold into coolies and prostitutes.
Xia Siling said: "What? I guessed it right."
Su Jin sighed and said, "Miss Xia, don't cry. I know why you rented the shop to me and played such tricks with me. I understand it all."
A red cloud flew over Xia Siling's fair face and said, "What do you know?"
Su Jin cupped his hands and said, "I know you are good to me and you like me, I know that very well; but do you know why I haven't come to see you? It's for your own good."
Xia Siling raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but Su Jin stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "Listen to what I have to say. You asked someone to send a letter to you. When I was in Yangzhou, you asked Xiao Sui'er to bring a letter to me. I have been in the capital for a few days.
Ri, you went to the old house in Yulin Lane and to my new house in Deshengqiao three times. I know it all. I didn’t see Xiao Sui’er’s letter. The girl lost the letter along the way. In fact, I didn’t see it.
I also understand that she may have thrown it away, but I don't blame her, she did it for my own good."
Xia Siling's tears came up again and she murmured: "Is the slave family so miserable in your eyes? Don't you even want to see me?"
Su Jin stepped forward and gently held her shoulders and said: "You are wrong, you are a smart, lovely and beautiful woman. If anyone can marry you, it will be a blessing from the past life; I, Su Jin, am also a layman.
, I can't help but be moved by you; after you left Yingtian Mansion that day, my heart was broken, but reason tells me that there is no possibility between you and me. If I still contact you frequently, come to me.
If you meet him, it will be a great damage to your reputation of innocence."
Xia Siling hugged Su Jin and snuggled into his arms. She closed her eyes and shook her head and said, "I don't care. The slave family doesn't care about anything."
Su Jin said softly: "I care, not only about you, but also about others."
Xia Siling raised her head and said, "Is it Miss Yan?"
Su Jin nodded and said: "Exactly, to be honest, Miss Yan and I have an engagement. I love her and she loves me. Once we have an engagement, there will be no possibility between you and me because I can't give you anything."
promise, so I can only choose not to see you."
Xia Siling murmured: "How is that possible? Miss Yan is so much older than you, and she is... a widow. How can she be with you?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "You don't understand, love cannot be described by status and age. For example, you and I, Su Jin, am a businessman, and you are the noble daughter of a high-ranking official. Why don't you still fall in love with me?"
Am I dead? If I don’t have a marriage contract and I want you to run away with me, you will leave everything behind and come with me, right?"
Xia Siling nodded and said, "Of course, as long as you say a word, I will go with you wherever you want."
Seeing her expression, Su Jin felt unspeakable excitement in his heart, and sighed: "This is love, it is just the emotion between two people and has nothing to do with anything outside the body."
Xia Siling murmured: "The slave family understands that you and Miss Yan truly love each other, but do you know how deeply the slave family treats you?"
Su Jin comforted softly: "I know, I understand."
Xia Siling shook her head and said: "You don't know, you don't know at all, but today I want you to know where my heart is. No matter how you ignore me or laugh at me, I will let you see it."
