Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

In previous years, the first day of March was the day when Jinshu returned home from Kang Mansion, and Aunt Jin would definitely ask Pingyue to come here to pick her up.

On that day, Pingyue would bring the thank-you gift carefully prepared by Aunt Jin, together with Jin Shu, personally deliver the gift to Mrs. Kang, and then return home in a sedan chair after the ceremony.

On this day this year, Jin Shu sat alone on the bed and looked at the yard through the window. She could only see the fine spring rain moistening the young shoots, and the pattering sound was particularly clear.

No one will come to pick me up again.

The words that sounded in my mind really made my heart swell so badly, and the bitterness spread all over my body in an instant.

Not surprisingly, the Zhao family at this moment should be happily marrying off Xiushu. After all, Fanshu was aggrieved by her marriage, so Xiushu must live decently.

Aunt Jin's body was not cold yet, but they were bustling and bustling.

A mocking smile appeared on Jin Shu's face, she kept every account in mind, and sometimes she could get them all back.

Just as Jin Shu was thinking deeply on the bed with her hands folded, she saw someone coming from the courtyard, a maid holding an umbrella and sending Mrs. Kang into the room.

"grandmother."

Jin Shu greeted her with a smile, ready to lift the quilt and stand up to salute.

Seeing Jinshu's posture, Mrs. Kang waved her hand quickly: "Jinshu, don't get down, just sit on the bed, why do we need these rules."

Patting the water stains on her shoulders, she immediately sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile: "Yesterday Ting'er came to tell me that your pulse condition is a lot messed up, and you need to recuperate for a while this year, so I came here today to take a look at you."

Jinshu held Mrs. Kang's hand and found it was cold, so she covered her with both hands: "My body has always been unsatisfactory, and it always makes you worry about it at any time."

"Fortunately, it's only like this in winter, otherwise it would be too tortured. Every time I see you coughing, my heart feels uncomfortable with you. It's all because the two doctors in my family are not skilled. They can't cure me for so many years. Good granddaughter." Mrs. Kang brought a look of disgust when talking about them.

Among the people in the world who can count down the Kang family's medical skills so much, apart from the one in front of him, I am afraid that there is no other person.

Jin Shu felt warm in her heart, she said nothing, and smiled with her head down.

Seeing that Jinshu's eyebrows are curved and well-behaved, Mrs. Kang seemed to suddenly think of something, she lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Jinshu, Ting'er has been taking care of you these days, have you ever heard him say that he has someone he loves?" ?"

Hearing Mrs. Kang's weird question, Jin Shu was inexplicably a little nervous. She pretended to be calm and replied, "I haven't heard of it. Why did grandma suddenly ask such a question?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Kang seemed a little annoyed: "Master and I saw Ting'er and She Man getting so close a few days ago, and thought that they might be together. But I haven't been happy for two days, how can I know this?" You bastard, suddenly told She Man the day before yesterday that he has found someone he wants to spend his whole life with!"

Mrs. Kang paused, and continued with some regret: "Miss She Man is also very sensible, not only did she not lose her temper, but she was afraid of causing us trouble, so she set off for Lin'an with her maid today."

A person who stays with you all your life?

Jinshu thought about waking up that day, Kang Ting caressed her face, and said to herself affectionately, "Jinshu, I will be with you all my life."

These soft words made the sweetness in her heart unbearable, but it was quickly suppressed by reason.

It would be great if there was no such sudden thing.

Without giving Jinshu a chance to speak, Mrs. Kang said again: "I don't know about my son? On weekdays, except for work on duty, he usually goes out of the door and doesn't step out of the second door. Could it be that he is flying from the sky?" Come out and be willing to stay with him alone? I think he has probably committed a stubborn temper and remembered the matter of Ming Qing, so he doesn't want to marry again."

Mrs. Kang sighed and shook her head again. In order to solve the long-standing problem of her son's rebirth, she also took great pains.

Jinshu racked her brains to think of words to comfort Mrs. Kang, but when she was about to speak, she heard someone coming from the yard again, and turned her head to see that it was Kang Ting.

It is really impossible to tell people behind their backs.

He was alone with an umbrella and a bowl.

Because he didn't expect his mother to be here, his eyes were a little cramped, and he quickly stepped in and walked in.

When Mrs. Kang saw him coming in, she asked some questions first, mostly to find out who the favorite woman he said was.

However, no matter how he asked, Kang Ting never opened his mouth, and only occasionally turned his head to take a peek at Jinshu who was gloating.

Seeing her sniggering there, Kang Ting also smiled softly with her.

Being so angry with her son's stubborn character that she vomited blood, Mrs. Kang simply ordered Jin Shu to take good care of her illness, thinking that she was out of sight and out of mind, and then stormed out of the yard.

Seeing his mother walking away, Kang Ting picked up the medicine on the table and walked over to sit on the edge of the bed. He took the spoon and put the medicine in the bowl into Jinshu's mouth one bite at a time.

The way Kang Ting expresses his love is like a trickle. He will not say a lot of sweet words to make girls happy, nor will he do many incredible things like a stunned young man to make girls smile.

He just stayed quietly by Jinshu's side all the time, taking care of her in every detail of his life. If he didn't think seriously, it would be hard to find out what he did.

For example, he sent She Man away neatly, and he didn't have any ambiguity with other women, but he didn't say a word of credit to Jinshu.

For example, he took care of Jinshu from dawn to dusk, waiting for Jinshu to fall asleep and leave every night, without missing a day.

For example, whenever he was free, he would come to Jin Shu's room with a book, and he didn't say much, just looked up from time to time to see what the other party was doing, and then each went about his own business.

He was clearly looking forward to Jin Shu's response to his feelings, but he didn't force Jin Shu, who no longer expressed his feelings, and hoped that she would understand himself after she untied her knot.

What I did was in full response to the phrase "the best kindness is like water, water moistens all things without fighting".

After Kang Ting put the empty bowl aside, Jin Shu asked him, "Uncle Kang, have I recovered from my illness?"

"It's already much better, and it will stop after taking the medicine for two more days." Kang Ting rubbed Jinshu's hair, and said with a smile: "But you feel tired of taking the medicine?"

Jin Shu shook her head, and said softly, "It's just that I'm going back to the mansion in a few days, thinking that if I'm not in good health, I'll cause you a lot of trouble."

Hearing Jin Shu say that she was going back to Zhao Mansion, Kang Ting looked a little lonely, after thinking for a while, he asked her: "Can you not go back?"

Taking a deep breath, Jin Shu replied clearly: "There are some things that must be dealt with at home."

Kang Ting knew that what Jinshu was talking about was about Aunt Jin. He remembered that when she woke up again that day, she begged himself not to tell anyone about Aunt Jin's death, so he guessed that Aunt Jin's death was a bit tricky.

A few days ago, he specially sent someone to the inspection department to investigate the matter. Because the body was destroyed, no further autopsy could be performed, so he could only rely on the remarks made by Wu in the closing statement.The cause of death described by Wu Zuo is not untrue.

After the sent person left the inspection department, he went to the inn where the accident happened. He asked all the people in the inn, because there are people coming and going every day, and it is impossible to remember who is an adulterer.

To sum up, even if Aunt Jin was wronged, there is no possibility of overturning the case.

Kang Ting kept this matter from Jinshu all the time, but he was afraid that Jinshu's resentment and resentment would cause trouble, so he had no choice but to tell Jinshu all about what he had inquired about.

Listening to Kang Ting doing this for herself, Jin Shu's heart was filled with gratitude and emotion.If he hadn't asked such a question today, maybe he would never have said what he did behind his back.

Aunt Jin's death, she never counted on the government.

"Thank you for your kindness." Jin Shu lowered her head and smiled helplessly, "It's just that you're thinking too much. I didn't go back this time to find out the matter, but to sort out my mother's belongings."

Kang Ting was keenly aware of the sadness emanating from Jin Shu, he gently hugged Jin Shu into his arms, stroked her back one by one, and said: "Jin Shu, I have lost the most important person too, know No amount of words of comfort is useless to you, so these days I never say those high-sounding words of comfort to you."

Listening to the soft words in her ear, she wrapped her arms around Kang Ting's waist and rested her head on her shoulders.

This kind of action caused the ripples in Kang Ting's heart to be pushed away layer by layer. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he continued: "I don't say, it doesn't mean that I don't care about you. I just hope you can figure it out by yourself, and then come out strong. So did I back then."

"Kang Ting, I know."

He likes to hear Jinshu call him by his name directly.Because at this moment, she is the most real existence without any disguise.

The arms around her tightened unconsciously, it turned out that having her by his side was such a joyful thing.

At this point, Kang Ting asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Jin Shu, since Aunt Jin has passed away, how about letting me take care of you for the rest of my life?"

Jin Shu closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, but she didn't answer.

She was deeply immersed in Kang Ting's tenderness, praying in her heart that time would slow down a little.

After a long time without Jinshu's answer, Kang Ting smiled helplessly, it's okay, he was waiting for her, and has been waiting for her.

After an unknown amount of time, Kang Ting gently placed the sleeping person on the bed, and after pulling the quilt for her, he sat alone at the table and flipped through the medical books in the room.

He turned the pages of the book very lightly, looked at the sleeping Jin Shu from time to time, and raised the corners of his mouth.

One spring rain and one warm.In Bianjing, it has come to the season when catkins are flying all over the sky.

Before Jin Shu could take the initiative to ask her to go back to the mansion, Yu sent someone to invite her back to the mansion, saying that Zhao Chi was seriously ill and asked her to go home to take care of him.

Looking at Kang Ting who was leaning against the door, Jin Shu said to him: "Go ahead, I'm leaving."

There was reluctance in Kang Ting's eyes, but he still smiled gently: "It's my turn to be on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau during this time, you go back home to take care of your baby, and I'll pick you up when I'm done."

Jin Shu nodded to him, and said inexplicably, "You have to be good."

Before Kang Ting calmed down, she had already wandered out of the yard.

Go back to Zhao Mansion.Everyone was sitting in the main hall waiting for her. The former Aunt Jin was now sitting in Cuiwei. Everyone's faces were peaceful, and there was no more tense scenes.

Jin Shu Yiyi greeted everyone, and Zhao Chi ignored her as usual, but just sipped her tea by herself, and she really didn't look a little sick.

On the contrary, Mrs. Yu seemed extremely enthusiastic, and while telling Jinshu to sit down, she said, "It's still Kang Jue's ability. This time, he looks much better when he comes back. Presumably, his body has fully recovered."

"Thank you, Madam, for your love. It's indeed much better." Jinshu replied modestly and politely, and then asked again: "Last time, Madam sent someone to deliver a message to me, saying that my mother had returned to the old house of the Jin family. Have you not returned to Bianjing?"

Zhao Chi and Yu Shi who were seated at this question paused slightly, a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Yu quickly took the conversation and smiled: "Your mother hasn't been back to the old house for more than ten years, and I think she was thinking about the old man at home, so she wasted time. You are such a big girl, and you are still pestering you like this Mother can't."

Hearing Mrs. Yu's good words of persuasion, Jin Shu said with some concern: "I often dream of my mother these days, and she told me that it is very cold in her place, and she wants to go home early, or father and eldest lady will pick her up. she?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Chi and Yu instantly felt creepy.

Zhao Chi got angry, turned his face and left.

On the other hand, Mrs. Yu carefully observed Jin Shu, and saw that there was no abnormal expression on her face, so she said leisurely, "Don't worry, Jin Shu, Auntie likes you so much, she must be worried about you, maybe she will come back after a while." ."

Seeing that Jinshu's face was free of worry, she said again: "Since your illness is cured, don't go back to Kang Mansion, and wait for your mother to return in the side courtyard. If no one can talk, let Hua Shu is with you, her older sister and younger sister are married now, and she is too uncomfortable to be alone, so the two of you are good companions."

"Thank you for your kindness, Ma'am, it's just right."

Seeing that the exchange of pleasantries was almost done, Mrs. Yu didn't want to chat with Jin Shu anymore, so she waved her hand and let everyone go away.

Jinshu was served by a new maid who told Jinshu that Pingrui and Pingyue made mistakes all the time these days, so they were resold by Mrs. Yu.

After Jinshu found out about this, she didn't ask her any more questions and walked along quietly.

In the middle of the journey, a young man suddenly appeared. This man looked to be about twenty years old, and his clothes were made of excellent materials, but his appearance was really wretched.

The servant girl was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the man.Just about to scold loudly.

The man hurriedly bowed and bowed, begging: "Don't make any noise, I'm here to find Miss Jinshu."

Jin Shu asked him puzzled: "Young Master came to look for me so recklessly, what is it?"

Hearing Jinshu's voice like an oriole, the man's face became even more smiling, and his eyes almost narrowed: "My name is Pan Liang... I came to the house to propose marriage to you. See you this way." You are indeed at odds with etiquette, but after seeing you at the Lantern Festival, my heart and soul have remembered you all, like being bitten by insects, and my heart itches unbearably. I heard that you returned to the house today, how can I bear it? The reason for living?"

Hearing Pan Liang say such frivolous words, Jin Shu was very angry: "My lord, please be careful when you speak! If you say frivolous words again, I will call someone to arrest you."

Hearing what Jinshu said, Pan Liang was a little frightened, and hurriedly waved his hands and begged, "Miss Jinshu must not do this. I brought you a gift. Look, this is a high-quality agate. One piece is worth 300 taels." Mile."

As he spoke, he took out a kit from his bosom. He didn't know how long the thing had been held in his bosom. It was not only wrinkled, but also smelled like a man's man's sweat.

Seeing the hand that was getting closer and closer to her, Jin Shu opened him with a palm and spat out a word fiercely: "Get out!"

It stands to reason that a woman so vicious would probably be able to scare away the suitors, but this Pan Liang is also a strange person. He was neither unhappy nor discouraged. After picking up the brocade bag on the ground, he nodded and bowed and said, "Miss Jinshu, please don't give up!" Annoyed, I'm leaving now."

The voice just fell.He returned the same way.

Jin Shu gritted her teeth and looked at Pan Liang, then walked quickly towards her room.

Seeing that the pagoda trees in the courtyard were full of new buds, full of vitality, Jin Shu paused slightly, then glanced at Aunt Jin's closed door, and went back to the house by herself.

Qingyi followed them all the time, and when she saw everything was the same, she immediately went back to the main courtyard and reported what she saw to Mrs Yu.

"Is this Pan Liang stupid? How can he be so impatient to find someone? Now the master doesn't like his identity, and he still makes such a move! If the master is alarmed, his day It's time to wake up from the dream!"

Yu Shi was furious, and now he was worrying about how to get Zhao Chi to agree to this matter, but this person was still causing trouble here.

Qingyi was also angry, and echoed: "This master is too! He clearly said that he would marry Jin Shu out of the mansion earlier, but now someone comes to ask for it, and he is not so willing! Madam, it is not the master who suddenly has a conscience. I found out that Jinshu suddenly got better again, right?"

"Heh, for a person like him, his conscience has long been eaten clean by dogs. How can he get it back?" Shi Yu sneered, "I just thought that Fanshu could enter the palace of the king, and Xiushu could enter the palace of the prime minister. The girl is also quite pretty, she just doesn't want to take advantage of a poor and remote Juren."

Qingyi was a little anxious: "Master, do you want to marry Jinshu into the family of an official's son? Absolutely not, big lady! Get rid of the roots, and don't let her have any chance to stand up again."

"Of course it is impossible for her to marry into an official's family. This Pan Liang is very much in line with what I think in terms of family affairs and personality. From this point of view, I have to do my best to help him!" Yu smiled. He made up his mind to let Pan Liang marry Jin Shu.

Pan Liang's ancestral home was in Fenzhou, Taiyuan Prefecture in the north. His father was a squire, and his family had some money. There was a wife in the house. It's for the imperial examination.

He was supposed to concentrate on preparing for the exam, so he couldn't help being lonely and went to the Lantern Festival. After seeing Jinshu by chance, he just wanted to find out which girl she was.

He was full of thoughts about the girl, so he didn't have any thoughts about taking the exam, so on the day when the results of the palace exam were released, he naturally returned disappointed.

Pan Liang thought that although he failed to get the title on the gold list, it would be good to win a wedding ceremony, so he visited Jinshu and asked to marry him.

For the first visit, he prepared a very rich meeting gift for Mrs. Yu.

Seeing that this man is wretched and lecherous, and his house is remote, marrying Jin Shu to him is the best choice, so she arranged Pan Liang in the guest room, turned around and told Zhao Chi about it.

I thought that the matter of marrying Jin Shu out was almost inseparable, but Zhao Chi hesitated at this juncture.

In order to add fuel to the fire, Yu took advantage of Zhao Chi's cold and cough to lure Jinshu back, thinking that Zhao Chi would be furious when he saw her, and maybe he would deal with it in a few days.

Seeing Mrs. Yu thinking deeply, Qingyi asked softly, "What do you think, Miss? Send Jinshu away as soon as possible, and the house will be completely stable."

"Don't worry, she can't escape?"

Five days after returning to Zhao's Mansion, Jin Shu was doing as usual, she just read books and practiced calligraphy, or went to chat with Hua Shu for fun.

Kang Ting had no time to come over because of trivial matters, but even so, he still asked Lelin to send some copybooks or pastries over from time to time, for fear that Jinshu would be bored in the room alone.

The only thing that makes people not so satisfied is that the brocade pouch that often appears at Jinshu's door contains all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, and it is obvious that Pan Liang put it down.

The new maid was always guarding Jin Shu every step of the way, and only when she was fast asleep would she leave the house and go to the main room to report what Jin Shu had done that day to Mrs Yu.

Yushi heard nothing unusual, so she was a little relieved.

Little did they know, Jinshu had already guessed that the maid would report the details to Mrs Yu, so she had been pretending to be asleep all the time, and after she left, she would quietly sneak into Aunt Jin's room under a candle to search for things.

On this day, Mrs. Yu called Cuiwei into the main room, and hurriedly asked her: "Cuiwei, the master was resting in your room yesterday, can you help me ask about Mr. Pan?"

"It's a question, but the master doesn't seem to agree, and he still has to think of ways to get rid of this person."

Cui Wei remembered that Pan Liang's glib face, so she couldn't help but frowned: "Ma'am, Mr. Pan is not a good person, please don't let Hua Shu be seen by him on weekdays, so as not to miss Hua Shu's attention." name."

Knowing that Cui Wei cared about Hua Shu, Yu smiled cordially: "Cui Wei doesn't have to worry, since the master is about to drive away, he won't have a chance to see Hua Shu either. Let's do it like this, I'll prepare something tonight For the dinner, invite the young master to have a meal with the master, and dismiss it earlier."

Cui Wei nodded in agreement, "That's very good, lest such a person will cause trouble if he stays in the mansion."

"I'm afraid Mr. Pan may drink a few more glasses of melancholy when he finds out about this today. His residence is closer to your house. When the time comes, tell Zhong Ling to take care of Mr. Pan. If it doesn't work, ask Zhong Ling to help him go back to the house to rest earlier." ."

Cui Wei felt that it was a trivial matter, so she nodded in agreement.

After sending her out of the courtyard, Mrs. Yu turned around and immediately called Qingyi over again: "Go and invite Mr. Pan over here, just say that I have something important to talk to him about."

Pan Liang followed Qingyi to Mrs. Yu's house, and when he saw her, he said flatteringly, "Madam called me, but is there any good news?"

"Huh! You are so beautiful. Come here, I will give you a way to keep you marrying Jinshu back to the house to fill in the house?"

Pan Liang's eyes flashed, and he looked at Yu Shi expectantly.
