When Lin Jingxiu opened the courtyard door, Pei Yanzhou had already opened another jar of wine.
There was a lot of alcohol in the room, and the visitor patted the crane cloak that had just been knocked against the gray wall. Before he could complain, his eyebrows knitted together.
"It used to take a lot of effort to invite you for a drink, but now you don't even care about your health and come to drink to relieve your worries?"
The man in front felt a chill all over his body. His finger bones were bulging while he was holding on to the mouth of the wine jar. His eyes were wandering, as if he was shutting out everything thousands of miles away.
Hearing the commotion, he still just raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then his eyes fell back on Song Jinyin's jade pendant on the table. His eyebrows were bright and the ends of his eyes were red.
Lin Jingxiu had never seen him get drunk.
For a moment, he forgot to scold the woman outside who didn't look at the road, and he didn't know how to persuade his friend.
Although he knew a lot of people, and the people around him were used to having romantic affairs, but this was the first time he had seen one person indulge in madness.
"Are you not going to have this body anymore? Are you not going to look at Song Jinyin's place in the future?"
Hearing her name, the drinker regained consciousness a little.
But the scarlet color in his eyes revealed his hopelessness a little bit.
The wine soaked his robe, and although it did not make him look embarrassed, it was not as glorious as before. However, he seemed unaware and just laughed at himself, "If she hates me so much, my body... It’s okay if you don’t want to.”
Lin Jingxiu's words of persuasion were suddenly stuck in his throat.
Although he still doesn't quite know what happened just now, but hearing this, he may not be able to get through it so easily this time.
"So you don't care about the private activities of the Kyoto City, the Duke's Mansion, and even the prefect of Luo City? From now on, when Song Jinyin takes her children in this small courtyard and is tired from taking care of them, you just drink in this wine and hide in her all your life. Side..."
"Master Lin."
Cang Lin stepped forward and took away the empty wine bottle from the ground. Seeing that his master's face was getting more and more ugly, he ignored the rules and stopped him.
How could my master have been immersed in wine all his life? It was just that he stood too high these past years, was suddenly pulled down by the world of mortals, woke up too late, and was at a loss.
"That's all."
Lin Jingxiu waved his hand, sat down next to Pei Yanzhou, and poured the remaining wine to himself.
After just one sip, he frowned due to the potency of the wine.
"In the past, at palace banquets, you dared to say that you were too drunk in front of His Majesty, but now you..."
Seeing this, Kurin retreated to his original position.
Not many people knew that the master had never been drunk after drinking.
Even Miss Jin Yin, who had been waiting beside him and had taken care of his drunken master so many times, never knew he was sober.
Now that I think about it, the master's tender concern for Miss Jin Yin after drinking has always been an expression of his feelings.
But the person who suffered it didn't notice it, and the person who exposed it never knew it. They all thought it was just driven by the drunkenness, and it couldn't be considered sincere.
The aroma of wine filled the room, completely overpowering the medicine that was still warming in the kitchen next door.
I can't drink this medicine today. I can only hope that the frustrated person will wake up tomorrow and get over this heart-breaking day.
Just looking at the person in front of him with a dull look in his eyes and his fingertips caressing Miss Jin Yin's jade pendant, Cang Lin knew that it would be difficult to wake up.
Especially today, the master did misunderstand the girl and hurt her again.
Pei Yanzhou poured out the wine in the jar and was about to get up and open another jar, but was stopped by Lin Jingxiu who got drunk after just two gulps.
The already drunk man raised his hand and held Pei Yanzhou tight.
"Little things, they are all little things!"
Lin Jingxiu grabbed the person and raised his face towards Cang Lin, as if he was wrapping his body around me, "Actually, the main thing I want to do to not make the girl's family angry is just one word."
Seeing the person in front of him pause for a moment, Lin Jingxiu coughed lightly, shook his head, and said seriously: "That's coaxing. In this world, as long as you have patience, there is no girl who can't coax!"
Pei Yanzhou raised his hand again, trying to shake the drunken person away.
He was also crazy. When he heard Lin Jingxiu's confident words, he actually had some hope, thinking about what good tips he could hear.
But after waiting for a long time, I heard such a useless word.
He hadn't tried coaxing her before, let alone how she could coax her now that she didn't even want to see him.
"Don't believe it!"
Seeing that Pei Yanzhou was not going to pay attention to him, Lin Jingxiu became angry and opened his mouth.
"Do you know why my confidantes are so devoted to me? They are all coaxed out of me time and time again! Then they give me little things from time to time. As time goes by, not many girls can resist."
"Don't compare them to her."
Pei Yanzhou's brows were filled with coldness, even though his voice was hoarse, the words he spoke were like a biting cold wind blowing on his face.
"Yes, yes, but it's just like giving something away, it's useful to keep! It doesn't have to be those valuable items, the important thing is to put thought into these three words..."
The sound in his ears didn't stop, and Lin Jingxiu talked more and more energetically, talking about clothes, jewelry, and gadgets in a clear and logical manner.
Pei Yanzhou's impatience gradually subsided, and the rabbit sent into Song Jinyin's courtyard came to mind.
She was so angry today that she didn't return the rabbit. Maybe what Lin Jingxiu said was of some use.
He did not interrupt Lin Jingxiu's words, but his eyes were deep and he suppressed the confusion in his heart.
Cang Lin was the only one standing by, with her eyebrows and heartbeat twitching. She couldn't put the method that the Lin family's young master said on Miss Jin Yin.
With the resolute look on Miss Jin Yin's face today, even if she showed up wherever she looked, let alone giving her something, she would frown and make her want to take a few detours.
But Cang Lin didn't dare to remind him.
He thought that he had to give his master some hope and get out of this dark mud before he could find a way out.
A few jars of strong liquor failed to make Pei Yanzhou forget his depression, but instead made Lin Jingxiu suffer.
He had someone take him back to the inn, and he stared at the night, speechless all night.
...
Song Jinyin's breath was filled with white mist.
I drank some medicine last night, but the pain in my mouth was severe and I didn't sleep well all night.
When she woke up today, her eyes were still a little swollen, her eyelids were slightly green, and her lips were white, making her look even weaker and tired.
She didn't stay in front of the bronze mirror for too long. She took the powder that Li Wanqing left for her yesterday and hurried out of the house.
But as soon as she opened the wooden door, she saw someone who had been standing outside for who knows how long.
The man's robe looked like rain had fallen on it for a long time. The color of the robe was different shades, and he looked even more tired than she was.
But when he saw her, a light suddenly flashed through those black eyes with a dull look on them.
But it fell silent again only for a moment.
Seeing her, all the man's momentum and dignity disappeared, and only guilt and heartache kept intertwining, making him panicked.
He stood a few steps away from her, moved his thin lips lightly, and said in a hoarse voice after a long time: "Is your injury feeling better?"
Song Jinyin closed the wooden door and turned around without even looking at him. Her eyes were cold and indifferent, and she stepped up to leave.
"Yesterday was my fault."
The man took two steps forward and wanted to stop her, but he didn't dare to touch her again. He explained with great difficulty, "It was me who lost my mind due to jealousy. It was me who hurt you again, Yin Yin... ..”
"So you're still not satisfied?"
Only then did Song Jinyin raise her eyes to look at him.
Just because of the pain caused when she spoke, she frowned imperceptibly, and her eyes turned red unconsciously, which also made Pei Yanzhou red-eyed, feeling very distressed.
"Don't talk, Yin Yin. I'll send someone to find the best medicine. You'll be cured soon."
"I just want you to stay away from me."
Song Jinyin's face was expressionless, only her eyes were covered with broken ice, as if she was enduring the pain, but also seemed to be sarcastic, and she spoke slowly every word.
"I'll never get better after seeing you."
Song Jinyin seemed to see the stiffness of the person in front of her and the slight look of defeat on his face.
But she just glanced lightly and looked back at the road ahead.
Not all injuries can be forgiven by apologizing.
Despite the overwhelming sadness in his eyes, those eight years still counted for nothing.
Song Jinyin walked step by step on the wet path. Although she walked a little slowly, her steps were firm and decisive, with no intention of stopping.
Not far away is Cang Lin, who has been guarding for a long time, holding a small thing in his hand.
"Miss Jinyin, this is the bracelet that the master specially picked for the girl. It is decorated with..."
Kurin held out the wooden box in front of her and followed it for a few steps.
This was the first time he did such a shameless thing, and it was all because of Mr. Lin's talk.
But the person in front of him didn't say a word and didn't even look at him.
He was just about to turn his head to look at his master's face, but he saw Song Jinyin suddenly stopped and reached out to take the wooden box.
Before Cang Lin had time to show surprise on his face, he heard a "pop" sound, and the wooden box cracked on the withered grass at the corner. The contents inside were still shining, and it hurt someone's eyes.
"I don't want to see you again, or anything related to you."
