Chasing Ling Jian and Picking Acacia

Water dripped from the stone pillars, hit the puddles on the ground, and occasionally echoed in the depths of the empty cave. The air was cold and damp, penetrating into the bones.

The darkness took away his vision, and the fear grew infinitely. He tried desperately to escape, but he was powerless, and the heavy iron chain bound him tightly.

"Who... come... save... me", the name that was about to be blurted out was pressed back, and the face was slowly pressed against the cold wall. ..

The sound of gongs and drums came from far and near above the head, and Xi Niang shouted in a high-pitched voice, "A newcomer is invited—"

The guests were full of praise, "What a couple of golden boys and girls." "I don't know how prosperous the Lan family will be!"

The Lan family...raised his head as hard as he could, wishing he could pass through the stone wall and see the person above, it couldn't be him...

"Little son-in-law pays homage to father." "Hahahaha, get up." "Pray to heaven and earth—"

In an instant, my heart fell into the abyss, it was really him, why, didn't I promise never to betray, never to be separated.

"Jin Ling! Wake up!" His body was shaken vigorously, and his consciousness returned to reality. Jin Ling opened his eyes, but they were all blurred, "Uncle."

Jiang Cheng wiped away the tears from Jin Ling's face, and reprimanded him softly, but his brows were tightly frowned, showing concern, "Are you still acting like a patriarch?"

Jin Ling turned his head to look, besides Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were also here.Wei Wuxian felt for Jin Ling's pulse, "Health is much better, but his heart is irritable and weak, and his spleen and stomach are also slightly damaged...why are you staring at Lan Zhan!"

Jiang Cheng scolded unceremoniously, "If you let me see that kid come here again, don't blame me for being disregarded, the Lan family's best not to come."

Lan Wangji handed Alan a pill with a blank expression, "Give it to him." Alan quickly took it, thinking that this Hanguang-Jun really lived up to his reputation, he looked like a fairy, but he was too cold.

"It's not that we taught Xiao Sizhui to do this, why can't he come, the older he gets, the more unreasonable he is."

"What did you say!" Jiang Cheng threw out Zidian, and Wei Wuxian jumped behind Lan Wangji, "I didn't say anything."

After Jin Ling took the pill, a steady stream of warmth rose from his dantian, and his skin turned red. He sat up and said, "Thank you, Hanguang-jun."

Lan Wangji nodded slightly, took Wei Wuxian's hand, "Let's go."

Wei Wuxian said sternly, "Jin Ling, Lan Zhan and I will ask Si Zhui when we go back, take care of your wounds, and don't bother thinking about it."

Jin Ling nodded, and when the two left, Jiang Cheng sat back on the bed and pushed Jin Ling down, "Do you still like Lan Sizhui?"

"No." Jin Ling closed his eyes and denied. "Then who just kept crying and calling Lan Yuan?"

Jin Ling buried his face in the quilt, turned away from looking at Jiang Cheng, "Let me tell you, no one forced Lan Sizhui to do these things, and no one knows what he's thinking right now."

Jiang Cheng tucked in the blanket with his hands, and patted Jin Ling's head roughly, "If you have any difficulties, just come to me, you know."

With a sore nose, Jin Ling nodded under the blanket, Jiang Cheng sighed, got up and left.

The cloud is deep and unknown.

Wei Wuxian hasn't been back for several years. These years, he and Lan Wangji have nothing to do, wandering around the wilderness, happy and happy, so uncomfortable.If he hadn't heard the rumors in Jianghu, he wouldn't have wanted to come back at all.

Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen are no longer in charge, and the Lan family is now fully entrusted to Lan Sizhui. Wei Wuxian found several newly built courtyards not far from each other. The scenery is different, but they are all quiet and elegant, spacious and bright. Used to receive guests.

Lan Wangji walked around with Wei Wuxian, also secretly surprised, the Lan family has always been secluded from the world, and has never received so many guests.Wei Wuxian saw a child watering the flowers in the Yunshui Pavilion. He didn't look like a Central Plains person, but he looked a bit like a barbarian.

The two walked over, and the child put down the gourd in his hand and looked at them with some fear.Wei Wuxian walked up to the child and knelt down, and asked with a smile, "What's your name, and where did you come from?"

The child gradually let go of his defenses, and tried to answer with a strange accent, "My name is... Saji, Nanban is here, the owner, two years ago, save me."

Wei Wuxian touched Saji's face, "So that's the case, do you know where the Patriarch is now?"

Except for the Patriarch, no one has ever been so close to him. The shaman smiled childishly, "The Patriarch is reading, over there." He stood on tiptoe as he spoke, and pointed forward with his hand to the left, which seemed to be in the study.

Wei Wuxian stood up, took out from his arms the nanmu bracelet he bought in the market last time, and put it on Saji's wrist, "For you."

Saji opened his eyes wide and looked at the thing on his wrist, touched it lightly with his small hand, was so happy that he couldn't speak, turned around and picked an okra for Wei Wuxian, a little shy, "I planted it, I'll give it to you."

Wei Wuxian put the flower in his mouth, making Saji laugh all the time, Lan Wangji walked up, Wei Wuxian raised an eyebrow at him, and quickly licked the petals with his tongue.

Lan Wangji's eyes were deep, he took the flower off, stuffed it into Wei Wuxian's hand, tightly grasped the other hand, and led him to the study, "Brother Lan, you scratched me, why are you so hard?" .”

"So you like flowers so much, so you can pick some flowers and put them on me at night, okay?"

"To shut up."

"But you can't use roses. There are too many thorns on them. If you bleed, it will be boring. How about chrysanthemums?"

"To shut up."

Lan Sizhui was looking at the company's account books in the study when he suddenly heard this familiar voice and stood up in surprise, "Hanguang-jun! Senior Wei!"

"Xiao Sizhui, what are you up to lately~" Wei Wuxian walked in with a smile, Feiyang's expression remained unchanged.

Lan Sizhui personally made tea for the two of them, with happy eyes and brows, Lan Wangji seemed to have seen Sizhui when he was a child, and his expression became softer, "Recently, I am developing the Lan family's business."

Wei Wuxian paced to the desk, scanned it briefly, didn't quite understand it, but he saw the words Lanling Jin, "Aren't these the business names of the Jin family?"

Lan Sizhui nodded, not shying away, "It used to be, but it's not anymore." Wei Wuxian looked through the account books, and found that it wasn't just one business name, but a dozen or so companies, all of which belonged to the former Lanling Jin family.

Wei Wuxian put down the account book, looked at Lan Sizhui with complicated eyes, Lan Sizhui also turned cold, Wei Wuxian stopped asking, went to sit next to Lan Wangji, and took a sip of tea.

"This tea is really bitter. Next time I go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I will bring you a few boxes of tea there."

Lan Sizhui took a sip, "It's not bad." Wei Wuxian smiled slightly, "That's because you suffered a lot."

The study was suddenly quiet. After a long time, Lan Wangji asked, "You and the imperial court are married, is that true?"

Lan Sizhui smiled wryly, "I just opened up official channels, and I didn't intend to do so. It was the people in the imperial court who misunderstood and spread such rumors."

Wei Wuxian asked, "Then why didn't you stop it and let the rumors spread by word of mouth."

Lan Sizhui had nothing to say, but Wei Wuxian knew his intentions, "You did it on purpose, the purchasing officer of the imperial court doesn't know the truth, he will think the rumors are true, in order to please the future imperial consort, he will come from Purchase goods from the Blue Family Company."

"The court and the rivers and lakes have always been at odds. The emperor just didn't express it for the time being. That's because he is still investigating you. Once the rumors come true, what will you do then? Take this risk and open up business routes?"

Lan Wangji frowned, and said coldly to Lan Sizhui, "The Lan family doesn't need these."

"I know, but I have to."

"There is no one else here. I know you like Jin Ling, and I can probably guess why you did this, but have you ever thought about how much Jin Ling will be hurt even if it succeeds in the end?"

Lan Sizhui clenched his hands and said firmly, "He won't be harmed, and I will bear all the infamy. Only by doing this can we be together."

Wei Wuxian shook his head, "Who do you think Jin Ling is? He is no worse than you. He would let you annex the Jin family? When you got him, you hurt him severely. This is something that will never go away in a lifetime." of."

"Then what else can I do, the only way, the only way."

Wei Wuxian sighed, "Now that I think about it, when you became the Patriarch ten years ago, you must have been thinking about this idea."

"Yes..."

"You are really powerful. You have been planning for ten years, but you'd better stop letting go of the rumors and explain it to the emperor. This method is effective, but it harms others and yourself. Jin Ling has already fainted from grief."

"What!" Lan Sizhui was taken aback. When he left, although Jin Ling looked a little pale, he didn't faint.

"When he heard the news, he didn't eat or sleep for two days, but you came to him and gave him a hard blow. His body was weak and his heart hurt, didn't he faint?"

Seeing Lan SiZhui's anxious look, Wei WuXian continued to add embellishment, "It's not enough, I don't know what dream I had when I fainted, and I cried and called your name, I couldn't stand it."

Lan Sizhui asked with difficulty, his voice was dry, "Then how is he doing now?"

Wei Wuxian didn't intend to let him go, but seeing Lan Sizhui's distressed and depressed expression, he didn't mind, "It's almost done, do you really like Jin Ling? Treating him like this makes you lose your popularity, and you don't even regret it." Too late."

Lan Sizhui heaved a sigh of relief, "I will make it clear to the court that I hope Senior Wei and Hanguang-jun can visit Jin Ling from time to time on my behalf. SiZhui is very grateful."

"I don't dare to go, Jiang Cheng can tell, if he goes again, he will whip me with purple electricity."

Lan Wangji looked at Wei Wuxian seriously, "I won't let him hurt you."

Lan Sizhui looked at the two enviously, and suddenly thought of something, hurriedly walked to the bed, took out a silver bracelet from under the pillow, hesitated, and handed it to Wei Wuxian, "Senior Wei, I don't know if you can pass it on for me. Give it to Jin Ling."

"what is this?"

Lan Sizhui blushed a little, but still answered, "Three years ago, I went to Miaojiang, and this silver bracelet was made there, specially given to the person I like."

Wei Wuxian was playing with it, and saw the word "Wish" engraved on the inside of the silver bracelet, and teased, "I can give it to him for you, but I won't guarantee it if he wants it, besides, you didn't give it to him ten years ago. Wiped his forehead?"

Lan Sizhui remained silent, Wei Wuxian laughed heartily, stood up and patted Sizhui on the shoulder, "Let's go first, you can think about other ways, try to be gentle."

"Understood." Wei Wuxian saw that Lan Wangji had been looking at him for ten years, and it had never changed. In this world, lovers will eventually get married, but it is difficult and easy. He is very lucky.

"Lan Zhan, carry me on your back."

Lan Wangji didn't say a word, bent over to pick up Wei Wuxian on his back, and strode out.
