Chapter 4 Green Plum Gifts Jade
When Xia Zhishan heard this, she immediately became anxious. She didn't care about the difference between men and women, and stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ruohuan's palm.
The two of them touched their hands, and the other's tender hands were as soft as boneless, which made Liu Ruohuan feel distracted.
"Do you know where the Jiaofangsi is? It's full of children from the officials who have made mistakes. You said, "You are a good man and join in the fun!"
In desperation, Xia Zhishan's voice became much louder, "After being trained, I will be sent to the major flower buildings by the Qinhuai River. You have been beautiful since childhood, but if you want to serve the ladies of various families day and night, can you still laugh?"
Actually, it's not unacceptable...
Of course, Liu Ruohuan knew that the status of men and women in this world was interchangeable, and knew that his words were contrary to secular common sense, so he could only make jokes in his heart.
"Silly girl, my mother is still in prison. My father and two sisters are running around for the family's livelihood. If I run away with you overnight, what is that?"
Even if you change a place, filial piety is still the most important thing here, and you respect Confucian etiquette and law.
"Besides, although this raccoon cat's method of changing the prince is not a good idea. If something really happens, I will be the son of a criminal minister. At that time, all the tribes of your Xia family will be implicated and cannot escape the relationship?"
Xia Zhishan choked, and Liu Ruohuan added iron while it was hot, "You don't think about yourself, but you should also think about others. Your parents did nothing, but they suffered such a disaster. It's really unreasonable."
"It's me... I'm not thinking well."
Xia Zhishan lowered her head slightly, like a defeated rooster, and her voice became weaker.
Suddenly, she turned red and quickly pulled her hand back, saying a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive just now. Did I seem too abrupt?"
Liu Ruohuan paused for a moment, waved his hand with a little regret, and said, "It's okay, what's the relationship between us."
Xia Zhishan's face turned redder. She didn't expect that Liu Lang in her heart wouldn't even mind the skin's affection. Could it be that she had been interested in her for a long time, but she could not express it because of the family's difficulties.
But Liu Ruohuan didn't think so. He felt that Xia Zhishan's help might be more due to the friendship of childhood sweethearts, and everyone might still feel a little different from each other.
These thoughts made Xia Zhishan's mind more and more confused, and she realized that she could not stay here for a long time, otherwise she might do something extraordinary.
"Then I'll leave first... I know you haven't passed the door yet, and the man's boudoir can't be kept for women."
Speaking of this, Xia Zhishan seemed to remember something again and asked: "Have there been other opposite sexes entering your room before?"
"have."
When Xia Zhi heard Yanshan's expression changed slightly, Liu Ruohuan sighed and continued, "My mother and maid."
She breathed in relief.
Liu Ruohuan laughed silently. This rule was really the opposite of his previous life, but he was a little sleepy, so he followed the other person's words.
When he walked to the door, Xia Zhishan reminded him worriedly: "You have to protect yourself. If something really happens, you, a man, can't make a decision, so come and find me."
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility."
Xia Zhishan was still a little worried. She thought for a moment and took out an exquisitely carved jade pendant from her arms. The pattern carved on it was a double dragon playing with a pearl.
Her fingers turned white, and with a slight force, she broke the jade pendant in half.
"Welcome this jade pendant to each store in my Xia family, and someone will come to inform me... You have to remember it."
After saying these words, she stuffed half of the jade pendant into Liu Ruohuan's hand, and she no longer dared to look at him and ran away in a hurry.
On the other side of the yard outside the door, a maid from the mansion kept the wind on her.
After seeing Xia Zhishan appear, she led her to leave to the back door.
Only Liu Ruohuan was left alone, holding the half of the jade pendant that emitted a warm fragrance in his hand, and was slightly stunned.
...
It was early in the morning when he woke up the next day. Liu Ruohuan was struggling in the house for a long time and barely dressed in good clothes, but he really didn't want to touch the lead powder and rouge on the dressing table.
As soon as he left the door, he found Jiangying waiting at the door early and waiting for him to wake up.
"Young Master, the master returned to the study room in the backyard in the middle of the night. Now the candlelight is still on and has not been turned off. I heard from the servants in the courtyard that the master has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights."
Liu Ruohuan's heart tightened. It was late at night when she heard about the silver burglary last night, and she didn't have time to think about many things.
Now I heard that my father was so haggard, I am afraid that the situation in the Liu family was extremely bad, and no one could share his worries.
"Then you take me to the study to see the situation."
Jiangying nodded obediently. She came to mention this matter early in the morning, hoping that Liu Ruohuan could persuade the master to rest.
She worked with the head of the family at the age of twelve, and knew that her wife had a deep affection for her husband. Which of the officials and officials had three husbands and six concubines?
When we got to our wife, we spoiled the master alone. The two of us supported each other and it was a good story in the market until today.
However, this time the Liu family probably cannot escape the relationship. If the wife cannot get out of prison and the master is tired and sick, the Liu family will be finished.

When Liu Ruohuan pressed the door slightly at the door, a weak response came from inside.
"Come in."
When I opened the door, the middle-aged man on the table was dressed neatly, but his expression was tired. He could see the shadow of his youth from his facial features. I thought he should have been a handsome man back then.
He was wearing a green robe and holding a book about the law of punishment and crime in one hand. He looked through two pages from time to time, and then sighed heavily.
This man is his cheap father in this life, Liu Lanmeng's husband Yuan Yan, but now he married into the Liu family and followed his wife's surname and changed his name to Liu Yan.
The three children of the Liu family all come from this only official bedroom.
"father."
"Well, it's a good thing. I originally wanted to find you, but I heard that you encountered a group of refugees outside Jinling City two days ago. How are you in good health?"
Liu Ruohuan bent down slightly and said in a stern voice: "It's because of this. I was a little scared, but it's fine."
"Don't be so restrained between us father and son. You kid are good at everything, but you are too old-fashioned and don't know how to adapt."
Liu Yan shook his head when he said this, smiled bitterly, pointed to a ball of mat beside him, and said, "Sit here."
Liu Ruohuan moved his gaze lightly and saw that there was a blanket sent by his servants on the table. He stepped forward and shook it open and put it on his father Liu Yan before he sat down safely.
Liu Yan was obviously shocked by his behavior. The youngest son was the most taciturn and weak in his family before.
Therefore, he and Liu Lanmeng have often discussed the future development of their youngest son on the bed, worried about what to do if they get married and are humiliated by their wife's family in the future.
This is why he dragged the child's marriage to this day.
When I looked at this young son today, I realized that he was well-behaved and caring. The current situation of the Liu family really made him feel very moved.
