I had a sleepless night, tossing and turning and thinking about that girl.
He fell in love with an unknown girl. She must be a young lady from a wealthy family. She had an extraordinary appearance and a decent style.
Thinking about it in the middle of the night, I suddenly sat up and felt upset, how could he be worthy of her with his family background? If she were really a young lady from the Liangzhu family, a hundred Shi Xianhuang would not be as good as one of her fingers.
Although the Shi family was prominent in the countryside, when they came to Liangzhu, their money was simply not enough to be taken seriously by the people at the foot of the imperial city.
He sighed and saw the light gradually rising at dawn, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
But he still met the girl, and when night came, he wanted to use his luck to see her again.
I pulled Zhu Ruilin out, saying I was taking him out for a walk so that he wouldn't get sick from being bored in the house.
Zhu Ruilin didn't know what he was thinking, so he wandered slowly behind him. Halfway through, seeing that he looked in a hurry, Zhu Ruilin couldn't let him wait and walked slowly with him, saying, "Brother Shi, if there is something urgent, you can go first, and I will follow." Keep up."
It's a pity that he waited hard on the street that night, but he didn't wait for her after all.
After returning to the inn, he was inevitably depressed. Zhu Ruilin was studying in the room. Seeing that his face was full of disappointment, he asked him what kind of trouble he had encountered. Shi Xianhuang said, "What kind of trouble is it? It's almost life-threatening."
The two drank and talked. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Shi Xianhuang was slightly drunk and blushed. Shi Xianhuang said that he had met a young and beautiful girl. He was interested in the beauty, but he didn't know where the beauty was.
After talking for a long time, he asked Zhu Ruilin why he came back early and didn't play on the street for a while longer.
Zhu Ruilin said, "Unfortunately, I also met a girl from Liangzhu on the street."
Mr. Shi smiled and said, "We two brothers will not meet the same girl, right?" After saying this, he burst into laughter.
Zhu Ruilin drank the last glass of wine, "The one you mentioned is beautiful and fragrant. The one I met is just Xiaojiabiyu, so naturally they are not the same person."
"Oh, do you have any interesting stories that you can tell me?"
Zhu Ruilin said, "Someone was selling "Snowy Creek Picture" by Mojie layman on the street for a high price of twenty taels of gold. I took a few glances and knew it was not an authentic work. The layman likes to use ink-colored dry, wet, burnt, and The changes in density and density merge into one, and he prefers to paint like water haloes blending together. But when I look at his "Snowy Creek Picture", I can't see any flaws with the wet brush. When it comes to the words "dry" and "scorched", this painting is laughable."
Mr. Shi's mind was not here, and he just said perfunctorily, "Brother Zhu is really talented, but you disturbed other people's business, how could they let you back so easily?"
Zhu Ruilin smiled and said, "I tried to persuade the girl a few words, but in a low voice so that the stall owner wouldn't hear it. If it was really an imitation, the painting was pretty good. Half a tael of silver was enough, but he wanted twenty taels." Gold, it shows that he is not a good businessman."
"Could this girl you are talking about be the Xiaojiabiyu you mentioned?"
Zhu Ruilin nodded.
"Even if you are not as good as me, if you can meet a beauty in Liangzhu and return to your hometown, you will have something to talk about after dinner."
Zhu Ruilin just smiled.
"Do you know where this girl is from?"
Zhu Ruilin said he didn't know.
"What's your name?"
Zhu Ruilin didn't know either.
He asked again, and when he looked down, Zhu Ruilin was lying drunkenly on the table. Shi Xianhuang shook his head, "Kuchiki."
Someone knocked on the door and said, "Is Mr. Zhu here?"
Shi Xianhuang opened the door, "He's drunk. If you want anything, I'll tell him tomorrow."
The waiter said, "That's it. Just now, Miss Qian came to see Mr. Zhu and asked him if he could go to his house to get together tomorrow."
Shi Xianhuang was dumbfounded. He just walked out of the door and summoned the girl. Zhu Ruilin was not an ordinary person.
Then he asked, "How do you know that the person she is looking for is Zhu Ruilin?"
The waiter smiled and took out a painting, "Sir, look, Miss Qian came to see someone just now with this painting. Of course we don't dare to hide it."
Shi Xianhuang took a look and saw that it was indeed Zhu Ruilin. This girl had superb painting skills and her eyebrows looked exactly like Zhu Ruilin's.
Did they really only have a one-time relationship? Shi Xianhuang curled his lips.
"Miss Qian, which Miss Qian are you talking about?"
"Of course she is the young lady from Zuo Xiang's family. Who knows about Liangzhu?"
Shi Xianhuang's eyes widened in shock, "A young lady from Zuo Xiang's family?"
"Yes, he is outside the door now. He said he wanted to see Mr. Zhu. Since Mr. Zhu is drunk now, I will go back and report to Miss Qian. I will talk to Mr. Zhu tomorrow."
Shi Xianhuang stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute."
The guy was stopped by him.
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Shi?"
"I'll tell Miss Qian personally to prevent her from annoying Brother Zhu."
The guy said yes.
"Miss Qian, you are so rude." Shi Xianhuang casually cupped his hand.
The woman turned back in surprise.
For a moment, Shi Xianhuang was stunned, and the smile on his face froze. He was stunned.
He could not mistake the goddess in front of him. She was the same woman he saw in Liangzhu on the first night.
The woman smiled sweetly, "I heard from the young man that you are Mr. Zhu's good friend."
Shi Xianhuang stammered, "Yes... yes... I... am Shi... Shi..."
Miss Qian made a greeting and said, "When Mr. Zhu wakes up, please say a few words to him. My father has missed him for a long time."
Shi Xianhuang was confused as to what she meant. Could it be that this boy already knew Miss Qian and he was just pretending to be confused and teasing him.
No, if he knew Mr. Qian, how could he still be in such poverty and embarrassment a few years ago? Shi Xianhuang couldn't figure it out.
Miss Qian waved gently, and the maid behind her handed him a bag of gold leaves, "Master Zhu is a man of very high integrity. I will ask you to please take care of me during these times in Liangzhu."
In the past, he used to send people away with money, but when he arrived in Liangzhu, everything was different.
Miss Qian's pink dress floated softly in the night wind, like a pink spring flower waiting to bloom.
Until she left, Shi Xianhuang still couldn't believe that she was standing in front of him and said a few words to him.
There is no more beautiful woman than her in the world.
He stayed in Zhu Ruilin's room, patiently waiting for him to wake up, with no emotion or anger on his face.
When Zhu Ruilin got up, he saw him staring at him at the table. He twisted his numb arm and asked, "Brother Shi, why don't you go back to your room to rest?"
Shi Xianhuang told the woman last night and made the woman's identity clear. He specially emphasized Zuo Xiangzhi's tone, just to remind him that he was not worthy of Miss Qian at all.
Zhu Ruilin looked at Shi Xianhuang, pondered for a moment, and then thought clearly before saying, "I don't know the woman last night, but I do know Miss Qian. She is the only daughter of Zuo Xiang's family, and I know it too."
"Why do you know so well? You-"
Zhu Ruilin said, "When I was young, my father was still alive, and he made a marriage arrangement with the Qian family. Later, my Zhu family suffered bad luck many times, so my mother felt that the Qian family should not be harmed, and since we had not seen each other for many years, this marriage was not possible. People will naturally give up in response, I never thought that Miss Qian would come here to find me."
After hearing this, Shi Xianhuang said happily, "You don't plan to marry her?"
"The Zhu family is no longer the Zhu family of yesterday, and I am no longer the Zhu Ruilin of yesterday. How can I be worthy of being the daughter of the Qian family? I shouldn't be greedy."
Shi Xianhuang scolded him for being pedantic, and wanted him to give Miss Qian to him, but he felt it was inappropriate. Even if he refused the marriage, the person who would be with Miss Qian would not be him.
