The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 240 Duan Mulin's Heartbreak (2)
"Why did you come here?" Su Ling didn't quite believe it when she heard Duan Mulin's arrival before, but now that he was standing in front of her, she couldn't help but not believe it.

Seeing the flowery smile in front of him, only he can understand the pain in his heart. He thought that as long as he was a little older and got a good name, he would be able to get her favor, but it was a pity. Goddess has no heart.

How could he not come!In fact, he arrived last night, but he knew that the Su family was celebrating her Jiji at this time, and everyone was wishing her her upcoming wedding, so how could he want to see such a situation!He asked himself that he was not generous enough to smile and bless her.

"Yesterday was your birthday, this is a gift for you." Duan Mulin took out a box and handed it to Su Ling.

Su Ling took the box and thanked her.

"Where do you plan to go in the future?" Su Ling knew that Duan Mulin's ambition was not in the imperial court. Even if he got the honor, he still didn't want to be an official in the imperial court. Because of this, the emperor specially gave him the status of an imperial envoy and asked him to visit various places secretly. On the surface, it was a study tour, but in fact, it was secretly helping the emperor to secretly visit the people in various places and inspect officials in various places. The emperor's ability to entrust him with such an important matter also showed his ability from the side.

"Why don't you open it and have a look? See if you like it or not." Seeing that Su Ling was playing with the box in his hand, but he didn't open it, Duan Mulin hoped that the gift he gave would be liked by him. It was an indescribable affection. After this gift was conveyed, there were very few opportunities to get along with her like this after that. Even if we met again, we could only call her Mrs. Xuanyuan.

Su Ling originally thought that it would be extremely impolite to open a gift box in front of the gift giver, even though she was a little curious, she resisted opening it, but now even the gift giver asked her to open it, if she didn't open it again, it would be a shame. It's hypocritical. After living in this ancient time for a long time, Su Ling also feels that she is more and more integrated into the life here, and those modern habits on her body are much less. If it is changed to the modern age, she and Duan Mulin can be regarded as childhood sweethearts Well, why should there be so many taboos.

Su Ling opened the box, and there was a radiant purple hairpin inside. The hairpin was in the shape of lavender. This flower was originally a sentimental flower, and it was purple, which made it look even more beautiful.

"Wow! So beautiful!" This is definitely Su Ling's sigh from the bottom of her heart. She seldom wears these accessories. Moreover, she has seen enough exquisite accessories now. She is very fond of ancient craftsmanship. It's rare to feel this way, but she really likes this hairpin.

The whole hairpin was carved from a single piece of purple jade, and it was a seamless one. The carver's superb craftsmanship made Su Ling have to admire it.

Seeing that Su Ling likes it, Duan Mulin's heart feels even more uncomfortable. Lavender, lavender, thanks to Su Ling, the people of Huangfu Empire also know many new varieties. I have seen it before.

Of course, how could Duan Mulin, who was always paying attention to Su Ling, not recognize this flower!Its flower language is waiting for love. Isn't he just waiting hard now? It's still a fruitless love.He started to learn the art of engraving a long time ago, just to carve this hairpin for her himself. Although this wish has been fulfilled now, the situation is completely different. At the beginning, he wanted to use this hairpin to express himself But looking at Su Ling now, maybe even she herself forgot the meaning of this flower, and it was just a congratulatory gift from ordinary friends.

Indeed, Su Ling forgot the flower language of lavender all of a sudden, at this moment she is looking at this hairpin happily!Immerse yourself in its perfect craftsmanship!He didn't notice anything wrong with Duan Mulin beside him at all.

"Ling'er, I won't be back until the end of the year when I go out this time."

"What? The end of the year!" Su Ling said in surprise.

"Yes, there are more places to go this time."

"Can't you come back in August?" She and Xuanyuanmo's wedding is scheduled after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Getting married can be said to be a major event in a lifetime. She hopes that all her relatives and friends can participate and witness her happiness. During this period of time, Su Ling's best friend, Duan Mulin, can be said to be one of them. Although the Su family's prosperity was more due to her own efforts, Duan Mulin also helped a lot. With little effort, for Su Ling, Duan Mulin is not only a good friend, but also a business partner. She even treats him as a relative. The days of playing together in Huaxi Village can be regarded as the most important time in her life. The most relaxed and happy time.

"Probably not. I'll try my best to see." Even if it is possible, but he doesn't want to, he can't just sit and watch the woman he likes marry her as his wife, even if that person is Brother Xuanyuan whom he has always respected. Witnessing their happiness, is this not a cruel thing!

This time it was not his turn. He had been going out for two years, and his father asked him to stay in Beijing. When he heard the news of the marriage, his heart suddenly forgot to beat.

The girl he has liked for so long is about to get married, but he has not had time to express his wish to her, how sad it is!
This time he ignored his father's wishes and insisted on leaving, and he left for a year. Of course, this time he went out because he wanted to avoid participating in the wedding ceremony.

"Even if I can't come back, since I'm here this time, at least I'll take a look at He'er. She's been talking about you for a long time!" How could Su Ling, an older sister, not know about her sister's feelings? After seeing Duan Mulin, Su He would mention Duan Mulin from time to time, if he mentioned it a lot, Su Ling would of course notice it.

Upon hearing Su Ho's name, Duan Mulin was stunned for a moment. That little guy has been following him since before. At that time, he was always paying attention to Su Ling. Now when he suddenly heard Su Ling mention it, Just remembered.

"Next time!" It's not that I don't want to see her, so what can I do if I see her, ever since he knew her feelings, he has been avoiding, and he doesn't want to touch the feelings that he can't respond to.

"You know, she treats you..." Although Su Ling didn't say the rest, she believed that Duan Mulin would understand the meaning.

Su Ling has always been relatively slow when it comes to emotional matters, so she didn't notice Duan Mulin's liking, which is why she still wants to promote the matter between Duan Mulin and Su He.

For the girl who kept running behind him, Duan Mulin was really scared, "Let's talk about it when I come back! Things are urgent over there, I have to leave immediately." After speaking, he walked out quickly, He was really afraid that the girl would suddenly rush out from some corner again.

Seeing Duan Mulin's fleeing figure, Su Ling smiled silently. She didn't know how stubborn that girl was. If she liked it, no matter how much effort she had to get it, Duan Mulin's side probably already had If she loses someone she knows well, no matter where he flees, he will not be able to escape.

No, just as Duan Mulin's carriage left, Su Ling's yelling was heard over there.

"Sister, I heard that Duan Mulin is here." Having grown up playing together since childhood, Su He didn't have so many etiquette restrictions on Duan Mulin.

"Yeah, but I just left." Su Ling pointed to the door, the raised dust hadn't completely dissipated yet!
"What, he left without waiting for me, so when will he come back!"

"I don't understand. It should be the end of the year! He's not sure himself."

"Okay!" Although she said so, what she was thinking in her heart was when will Xiao Muzi send her news, so that she can get his news, and she will go out after her sister gets married. Let's go, by the way, go to Duan Mulin's place. "Hey, this hairpin is so beautiful!" Su Ho exclaimed.

"Really? I think it looks good too." Su Ling handed it over to Su Ho for a closer look.

"Hmm. Purple jade is rare, did it come from Duanmulin?" Although the tone of the question was light, only she knew the pain in her heart. Even she could see Duanmulin's love for her sister. Only my sister was kept in the dark.

All these years, she has been watching from behind. Duanmulin's affection for his sister is no less than that of Xuanyuan's brother-in-law, but his affection is more restrained, not as overbearing as Xuanyuan Mo, so he lost the opportunity to accompany his sister. .

To be honest, Su Ho's approach to Duan Mulin's matter is somewhat different from Duan Mulin's, but no one can tell clearly about the relationship, maybe he thinks this is the best way!Bury your feelings in the bottom of your heart, and silently send blessings.

"Yes, this purple jade is rare, but what's even more rare is the craftsmanship. Look carefully, the carving is so lifelike that you might think it's a real flower at first glance!" Su Ling caressed that branch of hair The hairpin, carefully put it back into the box, although the hairpin is pretty, but she seldom carries this kind of thing, so she can only keep it.

"Sister, why are you hairpin! This hairpin is so pretty, it's good to wear it." Then he opened the box, took out the hairpin, and put it on Su Ling's bun.

"Wow! It's so pretty, sister, don't take it off, just wear it like this! It's so pretty."

Su Ling flicked the hairpin with his hand, but in the end he still didn't take it off.

But Su Ho looked at the hairpin in a daze. He couldn't express his feelings in words, but he expressed his feelings through this hairpin.

My sister said that this hairpin was made with good craftsmanship, but she knew that he carved it with his own hands. She had witnessed and persuaded him to bruise his hands in order to learn the art of carving. But that didn't work either.
