Suifang

There is a hundred-year-old tree in Taohuawu, which is covered with red silk for blessing.There are bells tied on the red silk. Whenever the east wind blows, the peach blossoms will rustle to the crisp tinkling of the bells, filling the breasts with red.

Jiang Liu said: "This ancient tree is blessed by immortals, and it blooms undefeated all year round."

Xia Suijin snorted: "How can there be any immortal in the world, do you believe it?"

"I have never seen it before, but it is true that flowers bloom in four seasons."

"Okay, then I will stay for a whole year to see if it will fail."

Xia Suijin was lying under the old tree, her clothes were full of fallen flowers.He was bored, grabbed a handful and blew gently, and the peach blossoms flew away.

Jiang Liu was supporting the ancient tree and striding forward with difficulty, sweating profusely on his forehead.Chu Chu was waiting on the sidelines, and Xia Suijin drove her away several times when she asked for help.

Xia Suijin said: "He hasn't moved around for many years, he needs to practice more, stretch his muscles and bones. If you feel distressed, go play elsewhere, you won't feel distressed if you can't see it."

Chu Chu didn't, staring at Jiang Liu for fear of falling and knocking.

Xia Suijin caught two crickets, put them into a bamboo tube, and fought the crickets to relieve boredom.After a while, Jiang Liu was so tired that he sat down beside him and said:

"Thank you."

"No. You deserve it."

He lay on the ground and fought with the crickets for a while, feeling his back was sore and painful, he couldn't help twisting and pounding.Jiang Liu next to him suddenly stopped moving, he looked back suspiciously, and saw Jiang Liu fell asleep from exhaustion.

"Tsk, so desperate. It's a big loss for that old man Jiang Feng not to choose you as the current patriarch."

Jiang Feng has three sons. It is reported that the second son Jiang An is the most important, and the eldest son Jiang Liu is a foil.

"It's okay not to be the head of the family. After healing my legs, I can go wherever I want, so free and easy."

Just like the Seventh Prince, when he was an idle prince, he was happy everywhere, and when he was tired, he would stay at home and give birth to a white and fat son to play with, and Hua Twelve loved and pampered him, which made him quite envious.

In the evening, the sky is full of haze, and peach blossoms are like brocade.

Seeing that Jiang Liu was in a good mood, Xia Suijin asked tentatively: "I heard that the Ninth Prince borrowed the Jiang family's fleet to go out to sea to hunt for treasure. Is this true or not?"

Jiang Liudao: "That was before the new emperor ascended the throne. At that time, the Ninth Prince was looking for his second brother Jiang An. If you want to know, you can ask his second brother for clarification when he returns home after visiting relatives. From here Can't hear anything."

"..."

"A while ago, Mr. Yu Fang visited Taohuawu and said he was a friend of yours, Li Sujin, but I thought you lost your memory, maybe you didn't remember him, so I didn't tell you."

This……

Why do I feel like I've been seen through?

Xia Suijin thought guiltily, did she reveal her secrets?In the past few days, I really looked for the young man with the alias "Qiu Fei", but I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe it was because the noise was too loud and disturbed Jiang Liu.

"I, uh... I thought it was fun, so I just asked casually."

He hurriedly pretended to be confused, slapped his buttocks and wanted to leave.

After a few days like this, Jiang's couple and Jiang An returned home, Chu Chu pushed Jiang Liu and stood outside Taohuawu to welcome them.Xia Suijin is an outsider, and should have avoided it, but Jiang Liu insisted on asking him to be with him, and vowed:

"Mother will like you."

...Why does your mother like me?

I am not her son.

Xia Suijin played with Yu Fang very late last night, and was woken up after only a few hours of sleep.He wiped his face with cold water, but he was still not fully awake. He took out a small mirror, looked at the dark circles under his eyes, and his listless and sullen face in the mirror.Uglier than crying.

He yawned again, and said, "Are you sure your mother will like my appearance when I'm awake?"

Jiang Liu was in a good mood and said, "Trust me."

He plucked his hair and patted his face again, and he finally looked refreshed.It would be a joke if he was kicked out of Taohuawu because of his slumped state.

After waiting for another half an hour, several ships appeared on the coast, the flags flying high in the wind were painted with a branch of peach blossom, and there were a few rippling water marks.

When the ship stopped on the shore, Xia Suijin realized that it was a "giant monster", more than three times larger than ordinary cargo ships.The anchor was thicker than his waist, and slowly lowered a long folded ladder carved with billowing clouds.

A few little girls bounced off the boat first, saying hello: "Master!"

Then secretly looked at Xia Suijin.An older girl asked:

"Why haven't I seen you before, are you a new servant?"

Xia Suijin was angry: "Do I look like a servant of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Liu's face was sullen, showing anger, and said: "This is Mr. Li Sujin, the distinguished guest I have invited must not be presumptuous."

At this moment, another extremely arrogant voice came clearly from above, saying:

"—Brother always nests in Taohuawu and rarely goes out. Where did the distinguished guest come from? He shouldn't be deceived by villains."

Xia Suijin raised his head, and a figure dressed in brocade flew down from the big boat and landed in front of him.This young man was very handsome, but he was very picky about people, he said:

"Look at your dejected look, are you here to seek our misfortune?"

Xia Suijin's teeth itch with anger.

Chu Chu reluctantly called out: "Second Young Master."

It was actually Jiang Liu's second younger brother, Jiang An.

Bloodline is really a magical thing, born to the same parents, Xia Suijin liked Jiang Liu very much, and found Jiang An annoying.

Jiang An faced Jiang Liu, dissatisfied: "Brother doesn't want to lead dubious people into the house, I don't like it."

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "As long as parents like it."

Xia Suijin felt more and more strange, why Jiang Liu was so sure that the Jiang family couple would like him?

At this time, Mr. Jiang helped Mrs. Jiang get off the boat, and when he saw Jiang Liu, he immediately smiled.

Mrs. Jiang said: "My son has lost weight and is energetic. I brought special products with your father, and there are many strange things. Mother saw that those children liked it, and thought you would like it, so I bought them all. Let the servants move into your room later."

Jiang Liudao: "My child likes whatever mother buys. Also, this is my new friend, Li Sujin."

Xia Suijin was standing aside bored, when Jiang Liu suddenly pulled him over and smiled happily.

Mrs. Jiang immediately held his hand kindly and said, "This kid is really handsome, and he looks like an honest kid. Don't bully him."

Xia Suijin: "..."

Jiang Liu smiled, and Jiang An peeked at him bitterly.

Mrs. Jiang seemed worried, and told her again: "Treat me well."

Master Jiang stroked his beard, looked Xia Suijin up and down carefully, and then showed a gratified smile.

Xia Suijin: What is this family doing? ... A daughter-in-law?

Immediately aversion to cold.

What's even more frightening is that Mrs. Jiang cooks in person, cooks a table full of dishes, and then asks Xia Suijin and Jiang Liu to sit next to her, adding more dishes.

Xia Suijin's bowl was piled up into a hill with sharp corners. He looked up inadvertently and saw Jiang An sitting by himself, poking his head into the rice in the bowl.

Master Jiang reprimanded: "Don't waste food."

Jiang An gave a muffled "Oh", took a few mouthfuls of rice hastily, and said, "I'm full, I'm going out to catch up with my friends."

Mrs. Jiang immediately frowned, and said displeasedly: "You haven't seen your elder brother for a few days, so you can't spend more time with him? You always hang out with those cronies, who is your family?"

Jiang An said: "It is enough for the family to have an elder brother, I am nothing."

After finishing speaking, he gave Jiang Liu and Xia Suijin a vicious look, and walked away.

Xia Suijin is innocent: I didn't do anything, why did I offend him?

Master Jiang also sighed: "That child would be half as obedient as Xiao Liu."

In the evening, Xia Suijin held Jiang Liu and had a long talk:

"What's the matter with your two brothers? They look like enemies when they meet."

Jiang Liu said with a smile: "Second brother thinks that my parents favor me, so they don't like me."

This is Jiang Liu's room, and the two of them sat around the low table on the bed, on which a long-necked peach vase was placed.

Xia Suijin reached out and picked the peach blossom branches in the peach vase, seemingly unintentionally asked:

"Speaking of which, why did your parents go to sea to visit relatives?...Why didn't you go with them?"

Jiang Liu noticed something, and said, "You want to talk to me again."

"...Just say what you say, say it or not."

Jiang Liu sipped tea: "Don't say it."

"Okay, I'll go."

Xia Suijin jumped out of bed, her sleeves were pulled out.He turned around and asked with a drawn out voice, "What are you doing~?"

It sounds like a kind of soft coquettish meaning

Jiang Liu said: "It's to my grandpa and grandma's house. My parents have to go there every year, because I have difficulty walking and my bones are weak, so I stayed to look after the house for fear of accidents."

"You don't feel lonely yourself?"

Jiang Liu looked melancholy, but quickly covered it up, and said with a smile: "Sometimes, like this year, I feel lonely and go out on a boat to relax. I didn't expect to catch you while fishing on the boat. I feel very happy."

"Hahaha, I'm the one to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have fed the fish long ago."

Jiang Liu said: "It's our fate."

"Hee hee, stretch out your two legs, and I'll give you a pinch. In half a month, you'll be able to walk."

"This... troubles you"

"You're welcome, this is repayment."

Xia Suijin sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, and pushed up Jiang Liu's trousers, revealing her thin and smooth legs.He said:

"Your leg was caused by poisoning, who is so cruel?"

Jiang Liudao: "I heard from my mother that I was only three years old at the time and didn't remember much. The nanny couldn't give birth to a son and was beaten and scolded by her husband. Then she resented me and poisoned my food. Wait for the poison When I sent it out, all the doctors in Fengyue City said that I couldn’t be saved. But my grandfather’s medical skills are very good, and he came all the way from home to inject the poison into my legs, and my legs were useless. But it finally saved my life."

"Unexpectedly, there is such a past."

Sitting in a wheelchair at the age of three is much worse than breaking his leg at the age of seven.

Jiang Liu said again: "My leg...you can hide it for me first, and then tell it when it is cured. I want to surprise my parents."

"Don't worry, I won't talk too much."

The two whispered for a while, then Xia Suijin yawned and said:

"I'm sleepy, I'm going back to bed."

"Wait first!"

Jiang Liu called him to stop, and said: "It's too late, parents are at home, it's inconvenient for you to go in and out like this, you should invite Mr. Yu Fang to live in Taohuawu."

Xia Suijin was terrified, and asked, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Aren't you looking for Mr. Yu when you sneak out every night?"

……All right

Xia Suijin reluctantly recognized the facts, he was exposed!

"Ming people don't say dark words, young master, when did you find out that I don't have amnesia?"

Jiang Liu said, "The doctor said you didn't break anything, why did you only break your brain?"

Xia Suijin was dumb, and it took him a long time to wake up and say:

"You knew a long time ago that you didn't expose me because you wanted to see my ugly appearance to cover up my identity? Jiang Liu, you really know how to pretend."

Fortunately, he thought it was perfectly concealed

"Then are you still checking my identity behind my back? Why, did you find out?"

At this time, Xia Suijin felt that the eyes of Jiangliu under the peach branch looked at him with something, uh...something similar to "gentleness", like the spring breeze blowing over the blooming branches, swaying and stretching, not to mention Be arrogant.

After watching for a long time, Xia Suijin indulged involuntarily.

At this time, Jiang Liu said:

"I didn't check. Because I think one day you will tell me who you are."
