Chapter 156 Hairpin
Arriving at Jinhu Tower, I ordered a few signature dishes of the restaurant, and ordered a pot of shochu. The shopkeeper specially arranged for the three brothers and sisters an elegant room facing the river.

This time, Hua Rujin paid the money in advance, and the three of them sat in the clean elegant room, just when the four-in-one lanterns were first turned on at dusk, looking at the night outside was particularly pleasant.

With the help of the lit lamp, Shu Jinxuan quietly looked at the cousin in front of her, that quiet face seemed much more moving than before.

He said happily: "Cousin, what kind of happy event did you have, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to Jinhu Tower for dinner?"

Hua Rujin was not in a hurry to answer, but turned to look at Hua Youen who was silent at the side.

Thinking that Xiao Douding must have been quite frightened just now, he quickly leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense in front of your cousin, eat obediently, and ask sister slowly when you have something to do when you get home."

Hua Youen pouted and nodded heavily.

After Hua Rujin appeased Xiao Douding, and waited until the food and wine were served, she poured wine and food for Shu Jinxuan, and replied: "Biao Lao has been busy these days, and now I have finally made a name for myself. You can't treat your cousin to a serious meal."

"If you have this heart, I will be satisfied."

Shu Jinxuan was flattered and nodded: "It's just that you haven't seen anyone all day recently, and even the inn is occupied by that prince from Beijing, and people from the inspection department are guarding it every day. Ordinary people can't get close. What can I do?" I can't help, so I can only follow in fear."

"Hey, His Royal Highness Ning Wang is not a fool. He paid money to rent the inn, and was assassinated a while ago. It is understandable to ask people to guard around. Cousin doesn't have to worry about it."

Hua Rujin smiled and said: "I heard that my cousin and grandmother had some disputes at home, this is a big problem."

"Didn't Grandma go to the house and make things difficult for you?"

Shu Jinxuan's complexion changed instantly, and he said displeasedly: "I do have some differences with her old man, but it's none of your business, how can she make things difficult for you again?"

"It didn't make things difficult for us."

Hua Rujin felt that he was too sensitive now, and patiently explained: "After all, grandma is getting old, and it is reasonable to worry that you will be in danger if you go to the Northland, and I have always disagreed with my cousin going to the Northland. The officialdom is in turmoil. It means that many officials in our province have been dismissed in the past few months. Maybe the emperor will add Enke someday. Going to the north will make the whole family suffer from separation?"

"What my cousin said made me have a question that I want to answer."

The corner of Shu Jinxuan's mouth raised an evil smile.

Hua Rujin guessed his question, afraid that it was not easy, so she asked cautiously: "What do you want to ask, cousin?"

"Are you reluctant to part with me? Or are you doing this lobbying just to sympathize with grandma?"

"Naturally there are."

Hua Rujin raised her eyebrows and said: "Cousin treats our family with deep affection. He is the closest elder brother of our three siblings. If cousin is not by our side, we will miss him naturally. The northern land is bitter and cold and far away. It’s very difficult to see each other.”

"You only regard me as a brother?"

Shu Jinxuan sounded a little disappointed.

"Of course, he is the best brother among the three of us."

When Hua Rujin said this, her heart was full of uneasiness, for fear of hurting his heart again, which made him more determined to leave.

"Rujin, are you angry with me on purpose or are you pretending to be ignorant."

Shu Jinxuan held her hand excitedly: "You have always known my thoughts, and I also know your thoughts, why have you been a different person since I came back from Beijing this time, you always avoid me deliberately , do not want to mention the matter between us again?"

This really made her unable to answer.

It's true that I've changed myself, Biao Po, but how can I tell you about it?
Hua Rujin's mind was in a mess.

"From the first time I saw you when you were three years old, I have identified you in my life. After so many years, my heart has never changed."

Shu Jinxuan's expression changed, and he became extremely serious: "I know what you are afraid of. I never mind that you have this marriage with the Dou family. No matter what you have experienced, you will always be the simple and kind cousin in my heart. I will never let you down in my life."

"Before I drank the wine, my cousin started talking nonsense."

Hua Rujin embarrassedly glanced at Hua Youen, who was dazed by the side, and really didn't know how to persuade this infatuated person.

If he was put in a TV series, he would be the affectionate and warm second male lead, but it was a pity that he couldn't accept his deep affection.

"I didn't talk about drinking."

Shu Jinxuan said the words that were suppressed in his heart, and suddenly he felt a lot more relaxed. He stood up happily and said with a smile:

"You don't need to persuade me anymore. To be honest, my ambition since I was a child was to be a general, but I always wanted to stay by your side and be with you more, so I chose to inherit the mantle and become a doctor. But these days I It can be considered that I understand that a man should go out vigorously and do his best to serve the country, how can he only think about staying by your side all day long."

"It would be nice for my cousin to think so."

Hua Rujin thought he had finally figured it out, but as soon as the words fell, Cousin Ruya took the conversation again: "Of course I figured it out, if you have me in your heart, you won't be able to do it even if you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers." Will abandon me and go, without me, even if I watch you day and night, it will only be a different dream in the same bed."

"Of course there is a cousin."

Hua Rujin smiled embarrassingly, and emphasized again: "After all, we are brother and sister."

"Then I must also be the proudest brother in your heart."

Listening to her repeatedly emphasizing the relationship between brother and sister, Shu Jinxuan also gradually realized that she should not impose her obsession on her now.

After all, what I am about to go to is the battlefield.

He shouldn't put a psychological burden on his cousin, so he hid his inner feelings and said with a relieved smile: "When I come back, I will definitely become a veteran general."

"Then I look forward to the good news of my cousin's triumphant return."

Hua Rujin knew that he could no longer persuade him, this was his ambition.

As he said, he should be proud of him.

"But my cousin went to the north, who will buy us pear cakes in the future?"

Hua Youen looked at Shu Jinxuan reluctantly.

The two siblings looked at each other and smiled.

Shu Jinxuan pinched the tip of her little nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I'll bring you more delicious food when my cousin comes back."

"Cousin, don't lie to me."

"of course."

Shu Jinxuan smiled softly, then looked at Hua Rujin seriously, and took out a hairpin from his bosom to replace the original hairpin: "I saw this hairpin a few days ago is very beautiful, Just bought it, it really fits you.”

Afterwards, he put the old hairpin into his bosom, and forcefully explained: "Cousin has been lucky recently, and it happens that this old hairpin is left for me to be happy, and maybe it can keep everything going smoothly for me."

"I'm not Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, how can I have such deep blessings."

Hua Rujin wanted to prepare a gift for him, but before he could open his mouth, Shu Jinxuan immediately said: "You are the luckiest blessing in my life. I heard that the governor of the five army governors came to Jiangling City in person. I'm afraid The military situation is urgent, and we will have to go north in a few days, then I will not come to say goodbye to my cousin and everyone, and today will be my practice."

"In such a hurry?"

Hua Rujin suddenly remembered that Luo Chuhuai had just mentioned that he came to Jiangling City for official business, but he did not expect to even recruit soldiers earlier.

No wonder Yan Huaqing left in such a hurry today.

"Anyway, there is still a day to see you again. You should take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back with You En and Mu Yang at ease."

Shu Jinxuan didn't want to see the pain of separation, put away the reluctance in her heart, pretended to be calm, talked and laughed with the two sisters, and escorted them back to the south of the city after dinner, saying goodbye.
