A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

It is obviously the same house and the same garden view, but in just over a month, the whole yard seems to have changed drastically along with the owner.

Qi Huan knew that this was due to his own psychology, but he also really experienced the desolation of changing things and changing people.

This feeling—

It made her not so bright mood even more cloudy, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Today the mansion is very busy with the funeral, and there are hardly any servants in the back house.

Qi Huan came to Qi Wenjing's yard, and looked for it by himself.

The people around Qi Wenjing also stayed in the front yard to help. As soon as Qi Huan walked to the door, he saw her standing under an osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

In fact, Qi Huan also met her once in the mourning hall today. At that time, besides Qi Wenjing's haggard face, she was still capable and capable in dealing with people, and she played the role of the Gao family's mistress very well.

But now, she just stood quietly in the yard, her silhouette looked extremely bleak and fragile.

She stared blankly at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

At this time, the flowering period has almost passed, but the frost has not yet fallen, and the branches and leaves of the osmanthus trees are still luxuriant, and the dark green of Kazuki is occasionally dotted with small flowers that are still stubbornly blooming.

After sniffing...

There seems to be a faint fragrance in the nose.

Qi Huan almost instinctively slowed down his steps, picked up the corner of his skirt and walked slowly across the threshold.

She thought that Qi Wenjing was absent minded and meditating, and would never notice her coming.

But she had just walked to the place two steps behind the other party and stood still, and when she hesitated how to say hello, Qi Wenjing had already opened her mouth.

She raised her head slightly, looked at a small cluster of yellow flowers that were about to bloom above her head, and opened the conversation without warning——

"This osmanthus tree was on my birthday six years ago, just in time for him to return to Beijing to visit relatives. He found it and planted it for me, and said he asked me to keep it." Look, I water and fertilize it from time to time, even when pruning the branches and leaves, I never give it to others. I have fed the tree and it is still growing very well.”

However, the tree planter...

Gone.

Qi Huan couldn't answer for a while, and Qi Wenjing didn't intend to listen to her words of comfort against her will.

Then she stroked the branches of the osmanthus tree with her fingers, and continued: "I like osmanthus wine. He said that when the osmanthus tree blooms, I will brew a jar every year and bury it under this tree. When we grow old, When he comes back from the battlefield, he will open an altar every year on my birthday."

"This tree only started to bloom last year, and I only buried the wine in the first jar. This year is so busy, I don't care about it anymore." Qi Wenjing spoke slowly, and by the way, she was looking back on the past time, talking about sweetness The corners of her lips even twitched.

But that wasn't a smile, Qi Huan knew it.

Qi Huan still couldn't answer these words, and she also knew that Qi Wenjing might just need an audience now.

So, she just pursed her lips and stood quietly.

Qi Wenjing turned her eyes away and looked at the corridor on one side, "The sparrow in the corridor was designed and drawn by us when we rebuilt this courtyard twelve years ago. Every place is different."

She pointed to two of them casually: "The little man in armor over there has his name engraved on his chest, the jade rabbit on the opposite side is my zodiac sign, and the jade pestle in the rabbit's hand is also engraved with my boudoir name." .”

They lived under the same roof, guarding each other, and quietly accompanied the couple who lived here for twelve years.

Then, there is an open martial arts arena at the end of the corridor.

"The few wooden stakes and specially built platforms there have been used for many years, and only he can use them. He is not at home all the year round, and the wood will rot every time the rainy season comes. For the things that have been used, I only ask someone to fix them every time before he comes back."

Her tone paused, and then her expression became miserable and bitter: "But this time, he didn't send a letter back to inform me of the return date, so I didn't replace it and repair it in advance."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze away and looked elsewhere.

Move to the beauty that was once unforgettable in her memory...

"The fourth railing over there, he once went out to a banquet and accidentally kicked it when he came back late drunk. The color of the wood that was replaced later is still different from the others."

"He also injured his little toe because of this. After several days, he felt ashamed of the matter and refused to let the doctor see it. I have always changed the dressing and bandaged it for him, but I didn't clean it up. Now the toe bone is not straight. .”

"Every door and window in this yard, we used to paste window grilles together. In fact, I cut them very rough. He said that the window grilles looked very happy that year, and the year was very lively and satisfying."

"The jade for my pair of earrings, he said he vaguely saw it on the way of his triumphant march, so he climbed hundreds of meters of cliffs and picked it for me himself."

"Although I found out that the color is a bit off after I got it, I really like it, and I used it to create a whole set of hair." She moved her fingers close to her ear and stroked, "Only... recently, I can't wear it on occasions like this." .”

"In the house, he still left me a lot of things, but now the only person is gone."

"I am not willing to bury every piece of clothing he left in this room this time. I want to keep it and bring it to him when I go down in the future. Anyway, he never came back for a year or two in the past. I Even if he went on a long trip, it’s actually pretty much the same as before.”

"Although we haven't been able to get together for many days since he led the army, everyone knows that we are a loving couple. In fact, we are also... a young couple, supporting each other, and our affection has always been fiery until today. than average."

"He depends on me and follows me in everything, except for this important matter of life and death... He didn't even say goodbye to me seriously."

"This is a scene in life..."

She probably wanted to express something, but the words stopped abruptly at this point.

After a long while, he didn't utter another word.

Qi Huan didn't know what she wanted to say at this moment, or what she should say.

What kind of mood would it be for a person who once swore to each other and vowed to grow old forever, suddenly one day, without warning, he left you halfway?

grief?Confused?Or despair?

Qi Wenjing said so much in one breath, obviously all of them were heart-piercing past events, and her eyes were still stagnant water without any brilliance or waves.

even--

She didn't even shed a single tear.

Obviously just looking at the expression, just listening to the tone is already so painful...

It shouldn't be that I don't want to cry, but that during the forty-nine days when I was inactive, my tears have dried up.

Sending away a person, also buried the rest of my long life...

Qi Huan suddenly had a distinct premonition——

Maybe her aunt will look like this from now on.

She will still maintain the decency and enthusiasm in front of others to live seriously, but her whole heart will become the cemetery of her beloved husband and son-in-law, and there will be no more fresh and beautiful expectations.

She once heard a sentence——

It is best not to meet someone who is too amazing when you are young, otherwise you will be bound by this time for a lifetime.

Can--

That can only be hope, hope not to encounter.

Once met, who can turn a blind eye to such a fateful person?

At this time, she should comfort Qi Wenjing, but——

Qi Huan couldn't even say a word.

What can she say?

Hypocritically say "sorry"?
Try telling her maybe time will dilute everything?In a few years, or even a few decades, will the unforgettable memories of the past be faded away?
After all, it is the past and time that others cherish so much, such an indelible past, as an outsider and bystander, why should she lightly find a home for it?

"I once had a deeply loved person with whom I could harp and sing, isn't that a blessing? After all..." In the end, she just said this based on her own perception, "Most people are confused If you fool around, you will end this life sloppily."

Qi Wenjing finally turned to look at her.

Qi Huan met her gaze, tried his best to make his expression sincere, and continued: "The reason why we can't let go of it must be extremely precious and beautiful things. Although those who don't get it will not suffer, but the moment we get it once we have it. I also enjoyed the happiness it brought, and now I may just repay it, the gods of heaven and earth are always fair."

If you haven't got it, you won't bear the pain of loss.

People who have been satisfied and happy before, maybe it's just a fair price to bear it now, right?

after all--

A person can't think of all the good things!
Qi Huan explained Qi Wenjing in this way, but maybe——

She was comforting herself at the same time!
But Qi Wenjing suddenly closed her eyes fiercely.

She raised her head slightly again, smelling the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air, and tears rolled down from the dry corners of her eyes.

She said with difficulty and hoarsely: "No... Huan'er, this retribution is really too painful, it hurts so much that every day and night is a torment, no matter how passionate you are, don't take this road. "

The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes again, clutched Qi Huan's shoulders with burning eyes, looked into her eyes and said urgently: "Listen to me, don't I understand? This is marrying a general fate."

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she even stared at Qi Huan's eyes with a bit of madness.

Qi Huan felt pain from being caught by her for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about anything.

At this time, Gao Yunmiao came over from outside the courtyard: "Cousin, why are you here? Are you here to see my mother?"

Qi Huan was taken aback, fearing that he would not be able to persuade Qi Wenjing, and then told her to scare Gao Yunmiao.

Unexpectedly, Qi Wenjing's reaction was faster than hers, and she immediately let go of her, turned around and quickly wiped away her tears, her face returned to indifference and calmness.

She said to Gao Yunmiao: "You came just in time, send off my sister Huan for me, your uncle and aunt should be waiting."

"Okay. Then mother, don't stand in the yard to blow the wind, go into the house early, and my brother will come to look for you after seeing off the guests." Gao Yunmiao probably didn't notice her mother's abnormality at all, so she readily agreed and went Pulling Qi Huan out of the yard.

Qi Huan's heart is very confused at the moment, and his mind is full of thinking about the past between Qi Wenjing and Gao Changjie.

Those were not her past events at all, but they kept lingering in her heart like small dense blades.

It wasn't that Qi Wenjing came to tear up her umbrella when she got wet in the rain. In fact, it was something she had secretly feared all along. Finally, one day someone told her clearly in person.

She doesn't want to be the next Qi Wenjing.

But now...

When Qi Huan was in a state of confusion, Gao Yunmiao suddenly stopped, staring at her with a guilty expression.

Qi Huan quickly collected himself and dealt with her first: "What's wrong?"

"Cousin, don't mind, my mother is talking nonsense, because..." Gao Yunmiao obviously did not have Qi Wenjing's experience and concentration, and her eyes were red when she spoke, "Because of her father's death, she was hit too hard , but... But she has a strong temper, and she refuses to show weakness in front of others, and now she only talks nonsense to you after being suppressed for a long time. Don't take it to your heart, and don't be as knowledgeable as her. "

"I know." The corners of Qi Huan's lips twitched slightly, showing a soothing expression, "Although my aunt is definitely unwilling to deal with people in her current mood, but she is sad, so you should spend more time with her, even if you don't talk , It’s also good to see her more.”

Qi Wenjing is a woman with a relatively strong and independent personality, so she shouldn't be tempted to do stupid things just because of this, but her spirit and emotions are too depressed and prone to problems, and she needs someone to interrupt her occasionally to divert her pain.

Moreover, this process may also be very long.

"En." Gao Yunmiao nodded, thinking that her mother's words were indeed too much, she comforted Qi Huan again: "There are too many generals in the court, and not everyone is as unlucky as us. When it comes to such a doom, you really don’t have to think about it.”

She was still afraid that Qi Wenjing's provocation would ruin the relationship between Qi Huan and Gu Zhan.

Miss Gao's family was not like this two months ago.

She flamboyantly flamboyantly caresses about eating, drinking, and having fun, and lives as she pleases. Even if she is almost bullied and suffers a big loss, after a few days of delay, she can still be resurrected with full blood and continue to live happily and be with others. lively.

Qi Huan was so sad that he couldn't speak for a moment.

After a while, she just opened her arms and hugged the girl who had grown up suddenly.

Gao Yunmiao probably didn't expect her to be like this, his body fell into her arms, not only tense but also startled.

But then, she buried her face in Qi Huan's shoulder, hugged him with her backhand, and cried out trembling.

At the beginning, he just suppressed sobbing, but then it got out of control, and he wailed and cried to his heart's content.

These days, the mother is sad, and the elder brother is also sad, but apart from being sad, they have to keep up their spirits, and take care of their father's affairs in every possible way. There are people who take advantage of the fire to rob, rob the family property or cause trouble.

She couldn't help in these matters at all, so she could only watch helplessly, and then suddenly realized that the Gao family was no longer the Gao family when her father was there.

She can no longer continue to live a carefree life. Even if she can't help, she can't hold back and become a burden to her mother and brother.

because--

They are all already hard.

So for so many days, she has no one to confide in her sadness, and no one to comfort her...

At this moment, Qi Huan completely broke out in an unexpected hug.

Qi Huan didn't say anything to comfort her, he just patted her on the back, let her vent, told her to cry all at once, and waited for Gao Yunmiao to wet her shoulders from crying, and he backed away in embarrassment .

Her eyes were red and swollen, she wiped her tears with a veil and calmed down, sniffed and said, "Thank you, cousin."

Only then did Qi Huan take her hand, squeezed the girl's soft and slender fingers and said softly: "It's okay, everything will pass, but it may be particularly difficult in the near future. If you are really sad, just cry, because you are emotionally stressed." It’s easy to get sick if you keep it in your heart for too long. I’m usually at home, if you need help, just ask someone to call me, if I’m not here, you can find my mother.”

"I know." Gao Yunmiao obediently responded, "Grandpa, uncle and aunt have helped a lot this time."

"Well, then I'll be leaving today."

Gao Yunmiao led her all the way back to the front yard, and the last batch of guests who came to the funeral at that time were almost gone.

Gao Yunze was not here at the moment, Gao Yunmiao wanted to watch the servants withdraw from the mourning hall, so he didn't see her off.

Qi Huan was also afraid that Mrs. Yang and the others would wait for a long time, so he hurried straight to the gate.

result--

As soon as he came out from behind the screen wall, he immediately saw Gu Zhan standing in front of the empty gate.

Under the sun, he stood tall and straight, his face was obviously a little pale, and his expression was tense and anxious.

Qi Huan paused slightly, then walked towards him as usual, and stood still in front of him.

Gu Zhan seemed to be terribly afraid that what would come out of her mouth first, so he rushed to speak in a little embarrassment: "If you regret it..."

As soon as the words came out, they were interrupted by Qi Huan.

She looked into his eyes and said firmly, "Gu Zhan, marry me."
