Chapter 110
"Shuoming, is the painting finished? Can big brother take you to see mother?"

"Auntie, look. Big brother is here." The little boy said happily, and then ran towards Qi Ze, "Big brother, you are finally here, Shuoming knows you will definitely come."

"I have promised Shuoming to come when the irises are in bloom, how can I break my promise?" Qi Ze knelt down and touched Fang Shuoming's head, "Is Shuoming ready to see mother?"

"Shuoming is ready, mother will be very happy after seeing the painting." Fang Shuoming said while holding the painting tightly in his hand.

Qi Ze stood up and took Fang Shuoming's chubby little hand, and said with a smile, "Then let's go."

"Okay." Fang Shuoming replied sweetly with a smile on his face.

Seeing Qi Ze gently holding Fang Shuoming's hand, Fang Yunni was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and followed.

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the woman was turning the pages of a book when she heard a familiar childish voice.

"Mother, Shuoming is here to see you." The little Fang Shuoming ran into the cell, and threw himself into the woman's arms with a smile, without feeling the weirdness of the cold environment around him.

The woman was startled for a moment, then she touched Fang Shuoming's head and smiled, "Why are you running so fast? What if you fall down?"

Fang Shuoming grinned, and hugged the woman even tighter.

Su Wanqing turned her head to look at Qi Ze, with a grateful tone, "Thank you Master Qi for bringing Shuoming here."

Qi Ze just nodded slightly, cupped his hands, and left.

Fang Yunni looked at the cell, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes, walked into the cell with a forced smile on her face and sat on the chair opposite Su Wanqing.

"Shuoming is about to grow up to be a big boy, so he is not ashamed to still pester his mother like this." Fang Yunni said jokingly.

Fang Shuoming turned his head to look at Fang Yunni, and hugged Su Wanqing tightly, "Shuoming hasn't seen mother for several days, and I miss her, so naturally I want to hug mother." Then he asked the woman, "Mother, are you right? "

"Yes, of course Shuo Ming is right." The woman smiled as usual.

Fang Shuoming stuck out his tongue at Fang Yunni mischievously when he heard the words.

When Fang Yunni saw it, she raised her hand and gestured to hit Fang Shuoming. Fang Shuoming also shrank into the woman's arms in fright.

"Mother, my aunt bullied me again." Fang Shuoming pouted and looked at the woman pitifully.

"Hmph." Fang Yunni snorted coquettishly, and withdrew her hand.

The woman smiled knowingly when she saw this.

Fang Shuoming looked up and saw an iris on the table, and tilted his head as if he just remembered something.

"Oh, Shuoming remembered." Then he quickly handed the drawing paper in his hand to the woman like offering a treasure, his eyes full of expectation, "Mother, look, this is the iris flower painted by Shuoming. It's beautiful ?"

The woman took the drawing paper with a smile, unfolded it and looked at it.

The painting technique of the irises on the drawing paper is relatively clumsy, with different shades of brush and ink, and the strokes are roughly drawn as if joking.There are also handprints in thick ink on the side, which looks a bit messy.But we can see the hard work and care of the painter. This rusty and naive painting method makes people know that it was drawn by a child at a glance.

"Is this really drawn by Shuo Ming? It's so beautiful." But the woman praised without hesitation, "It's even better than my mother's drawing."

While speaking, the woman bent her lips and smiled, with an unprecedented joyous smile in her eyes, which seemed to come from the depths of her heart, her eyes were as bright as morning stars.

Fang Shuoming grinned, with a happy smile on Yuanyuan's face.

"Shuoming, mother will stay here for a few more days. Do you know that you need to listen to your aunt during the period when mother is away? You must remember to read books every day, go to bed on time, eat not picky eaters, and wait for father to come back at home." Su Wanqing He touched Fang Shuoming's face and said.

"Mother, can't you go back with Shuoming?" Fang Shuoming asked with some disappointment.

"Mother still has something to do here, so I can't go back yet." The woman still smiled and replied.

"When can the mother go back?" Fang Shuoming asked hastily.

Fang Yunni clasped her hands tightly when she heard the words, the corners of her eyes were flushed, watching the tears in Fang Shuoming's eyes kept swirling.

Fang Shuoming kept looking at the woman, and seeing that she didn't answer, he smiled and said, "Mother, Daddy will be back soon. After Daddy comes back, Mother will be able to go home." Then he hugged the woman tightly, "I also I will wait for mother to come home, and mother must remember to go home."

"Okay, mother must go home and stay with Shuoming all the time." The woman hugged Fang Shuoming back and said.

Fang Yunni felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly stood up and ran out of the cell.When he ran out of the cell, he finally covered his face and burst into tears.

"Give."

Suddenly there was a warm voice behind her, Fang Yunni turned around to look at Qi Ze, and took the handkerchief from Qi Ze's hand.Wiping away tears, his voice choked up.

"Thank you Master Qi for letting Shuoming come to visit Wanqing this time, but I didn't expect that the last time we met was in a prison cell."

"Shuoming is very strong and will survive. It's too cruel for a child to know the truth." Qi Ze said, looking in the direction of the cell.

"Our Fang family is sorry for Wan Qing. If my mother hadn't done such a thing, Wan Qing wouldn't be the one to take the blame." Fang Yunni said holding her hands.

"There is no right or wrong in this matter, only willingness or unwillingness. She has endured too much, and now she has gained a moment of peace." Qi Ze continued, and left after finishing speaking.

Fang Yunni looked at Qi Ze's back for a while, looked up at the blue sky, and muttered to herself: "Is it tranquility?" Then she sneered, "That's right, when did Wan Qing get tranquility in Fang's house? It's just that she was too stubborn. Even if it hurts in my heart, I never say it."

When Su Wanqing knew that she could not conceive again, she looked at the concubines that Pan brought into the mansion, her husband was far away at the border and couldn't be by her side... It seemed that the woman never cared about it, she just sat in the gazebo and read a book every day.

But when she saw the woman's dull eyes, she knew she cared.Although the gloomy eyes were only for a moment and could hardly be seen, she knew that the woman was sad.It's just that I'm used to being quiet at ordinary times, and I don't know what to do or how to face all this.She simply kept reading the book, trying to get the tranquility she wanted from it.

Now that he has finally come out of Fang's house, he has gained the so-called tranquility and a moment of freedom.

After Fang Yunni and Fang Shuoming left, Su Wanqing went back to the life she had just arrived in the prison.I read books every day, look at the irises on the table, and sometimes look out the window.Occasionally, Jiang Wen would come to chat with her a few times, carrying sweet pastries, and sending a few freshly picked irises.

The only thing that is changing is that there are more and more blood-stained handkerchiefs under the bed, and the blood on the handkerchiefs has become more and more these days.

Even the young jailer guarding the woman said that she was coughing worse, especially the non-stop coughing in the middle of the night made people worry.

Looking at her increasingly weak body and pale face, people knew that she was going to be unable to hold on.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. The female gentleman who was praised by everyone before died alone with her infamy.

Because of the ups and downs of the past few nights, the woman's face became extremely pale, and her lips lost all blood.But he still held the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand calmly, and looked out the window quietly, as if he didn't panic or fear because his life was coming to an end.

"Are you still looking out the window?" A familiar warm voice came.

"Yeah, the sky outside is still so blue. It's the same as when I first went to the Imperial College to teach that day. It hasn't changed at all." The woman replied with a smile, her voice became weak and weak due to the illness, and her voice was weak. gossamer.

"Really? As long as you like it." After speaking, Qi Ze turned around and left.

"Master Qi." The woman's faint voice came from behind.

Qi Ze also looked back.

The woman smiled slightly, "Master Qi, can you take me out to have a look?" Then there was a trace of bitterness in that smile, "I don't want to die in prison."

Qi Ze looked at the woman for a while, then said, "Okay."

"Where do you want to go?"

The woman smiled and looked down at the irises on the table, "I haven't been back to the Imperial College for a long time, so let's go to the Imperial College."

Qi Ze walked up to the woman, picked her up in his arms, and flew in the direction of the Imperial College with lightness kung fu.

On the road, the breeze blew through the blue hair, and the woman leaned weakly in Qi Ze's arms, but her eyes kept looking at the familiar building that was getting closer.

After arriving at the place, Qi Ze stopped in front of a house.Because the students in the Guozijian are resting today, there is no one around.There are only the breeze in the ears and the fragrance of flowers floating in, which is very quiet.

The woman slowly got down from Qi Ze's arms, and walked into the room feebly.

Looking at the neatly arranged tables and chairs inside, he was stunned for a moment, and his bare hands tremblingly touched the table top of the three-foot podium, as if he felt a little nostalgic.

This is a place she used to come to often, but now it has become a luxury to even want to come here.

The woman looked at the beautifully blooming blue irises outside the room, smiled softly, and walked towards the sea of ​​flowers.

Looking at the woman with sloppy steps, Qi Ze wanted to help her up.But the woman continued to walk forward stubbornly, and Qi Ze put down his outstretched hand again, just quietly looking at the woman's back.

The woman walked up to a blue iris flower, knelt down and looked at it, with a peaceful smile in her eyes.Looking up at the gazebo where she usually reads in the Imperial College, she seemed to remember something, and smiled softly.

"Master Qi, this is the place where Jingzi and I made love at the beginning, in this sea of ​​blue iris flowers." The woman pointed to the gazebo not far away, "I was here, he was there, at the end of this sea of ​​flowers He walked towards me slowly, and said to me with a smile, "Miss Su, how about I marry you?" At that time, I was actually happy in my heart. I knew that it might be difficult for me to get married in the future, so I thought I nodded without thinking."

"But Lord Jijiu told me that although the Fang family is good, the old lady of the Fang family is illiterate, and Jingzi is not a good match for me. But at that time I was young and ignorant, thinking in my heart that I was going to marry the young master of the Fang family, not For the old lady of the Fang family, so I married into the Fang family without listening to Master Jijiu." The woman laughed at herself.

"But who knows that this life is far more difficult than I imagined, there are too many difficulties to overcome, and too many things that make you unable to control yourself. I can understand "Book of Changes", but I will never understand this life. Life is not what I want."

The woman stroked the soft petals and asked: "Master Qi, do you know why I like irises? Because I know that I can't stay in the Imperial College for the rest of my life. I will eventually marry a husband and teach children, and live the life of an ordinary woman. The days in Guozijian are too short, just like the flowering period of this iris, fleeting, just a flash in the pan."

"Sometimes I'm thinking, if I'm really a man like others said, wouldn't I not have to go through the pain of having children and live longer. Maybe I can also enter the court, like Qi Adults can also do something. But life has played a joke on me, and the identity of a woman has become a prison that I can't get out of in my life."

Qi Ze looked at the woman with quiet eyes, and said after a while, "If you were a man, you would definitely win the first prize in the exam and become a lovable gentleman."

The woman was taken aback when she heard the words, then she looked at Qi Ze and smiled, she wanted to speak but fell weakly into the sea of ​​flowers.

Qi Ze wanted to run over to help, but saw a slightly familiar figure not far away, and stopped in place.

That figure was dressed in an official uniform, dusty, with a handsome face and a pair of gentle almond eyes.It's just that the apricot eyes were full of panic and stupefied, watching the woman in the light blue dress fall into the sea of ​​flowers, and ran over quickly.

"Wan Qing, I'm back." Fang Jingzi shouted anxiously holding the woman in his arms.

Su Wanqing opened her eyes, curled her pale lips, and responded, "Jingzi, you're back."

"Sorry, I came back late and made you suffer, Wanqing." Fang Jingzi said while holding Su Wanqing's cool hands.

"It's good to be back..." the woman said with a gentle smile.

"Why? Wanqing, why didn't you tell me about your illness. If I knew you were ill, I would definitely stay with you and not go to the border." Fang Jingzi said with reddish eyes.

"You have something to do on your own, how can you stay because of me?" the woman said, caressing the man's face, "you came back from the border in a hurry, and your face was dirty." The woman's tone was calm and warm, as if she was a man Returning as usual.

"Wanqing, let's go back and treat the illness. We will be able to cure this illness, Shuoming is still waiting for us to go home." The man stroking the woman's hand on his face cried and was about to stand up .

But the woman stopped him, "Jing Zi, it's useless. It's come to this point, and it's already too late."

Fang Jingzi hugged Su Wanqing tightly in his arms and clenched his fists, "It's my fault. If I could have discovered your illness earlier and persuaded my mother to treat you better, maybe this would not have happened."

"Jingzi, actually, I don't regret marrying you, but if I can do it all over again, I will never marry you again. If I have the opportunity to choose in my next life, I will never be a woman again. Being a woman is too hard." Woman His eyes were dull, and he said weakly.

"Okay, I won't marry you, and I won't marry you again." Fang Jingzi hugged Su Wanqing tightly, tears streaming from his eyes.

Not married anymore?Is it possible to go back to the past?Back when she was teaching at the Imperial College.

She still remembers the day when she first came to the Imperial College to teach, the blue irises were in full bloom, and the vast blue sky and white clouds.The sound of reading is everywhere, the ancient trees are towering, and the breeze blows with the sweet fragrance of flowers, which is completely different from the stuffy and narrow backyard of Su Mansion.

This is the first time for her to leave the Su Mansion, and it seems that it is also the first time for a female gentleman to come to the Imperial College.

A group of princes from aristocratic families who were older than her looked at her in surprise, pointed at her and said: "I didn't expect that a female gentleman was actually admitted into the Imperial College. She looks younger than us, can she teach?" ?”

At that time, she still maintained the cheerfulness of a girl. Seeing what they said, she was very unconvinced, so she responded: "Whoever said that female gentlemen can't teach, I dare say that I can teach better than those male gentlemen." Good, and I'm going to teach the hardest one."

The princes of the family didn't seem to expect her to say that, and they were all stunned.

And she also taught her long-prepared "Book of Changes" in the first class. Looking at the amazed eyes of the students, she felt unprecedentedly happy for the first time.

Looking at the sea of ​​irises outside the door and the towering library, her mood suddenly became quiet. She knew that she wanted to stay here, preferably for the rest of her life.

And now she has finally stayed in the place she wanted to stay the most, and escaped from the backyard that only had a small space, so it can be regarded as... her wish has come true.

The woman looked at the sea of ​​iris flowers in front of her, and the blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but the corners of her lips were curled up, as if she was smiling happily.As the scenery in front of me became increasingly blurred, until it completely disappeared.

This blue is really beautiful!

"Wanqing." Fang Jingzi looked at Su Wanqing who was lying in his arms completely breathless, and finally couldn't help crying loudly.

In front of the gate of the Imperial College, a scholarly and elegant man came. Seeing the woman died, he was surprised for a moment, then lowered his head with sadness in his eyes and asked, "When she left... was she okay?"

Qi Ze looked at the sad Jiang Wen, and knew that Jiang Wen had called Fang Jingzi here. Jiang Wen had always paid close attention to his female apprentice, and knew about her bringing Su Wanqing to the Imperial College.Looking at the sad woman lying in the sea of ​​flowers, she said, "She left with a smile."

Jiang Wen lowered his head and whispered softly: "Did you leave with a smile? After a lifetime of bitterness, I can finally leave with a smile."

At that time, she left the Imperial College in this sea of ​​irises, and now she is back.At the beginning, I came to Guozijian with a smile, and now I leave with a smile.

The Guozijian seems to have remained unchanged, the blue sea of ​​flowers remains the same, the blue sky remains the same, the sound of reading books remains the same, and the gazebo remains the same.

It's just that the gentle woman reading quietly in the gazebo, the soft eyes waiting for the irises to bloom, and the skirt corner of the light blue dress are missing.

People seem to still be able to see the woman in a light blue long dress sitting quietly in the gazebo, with a pair of bare hands pressed on the thick book, beside the blue iris flower budding, the breeze blows, and the blue hair follows. Floating up, everything is silent, and the years are quiet.

"Sir, I'm not very good at this place, can you take a look for me?" A young boy asked blushingly while holding a book.

The woman raised her eyes with a smile in her eyes, "Come on, if you don't understand anything, I'll teach you."

 Blue iris flower language: Desperate and sad love, dissociated and broken passion in fate, exquisite beauty, but fragile and perishable.

  As for Wanwan, maybe she was a poor and pitiful woman, full of talent and catkins, but she died alone in prison.

  She follows everything in the world, but never mediocre.The girl who loves to laugh and eat sweets has been bitter for a lifetime, unable to drink the bitter medicine, unable to understand this life, and finally left with a smile.

  This fate teases people, and this fate makes it difficult for her to escape.

  She is like this iris, with a short life, but the moment when it blooms is also the most gorgeous moment, which amazes everyone in the world.Beauty is fleeting, but it is also eternal.

  The irises in the Imperial College also stayed for her and bloomed for her alone.

  Bowl, this year's irises are blooming very well, next year at this time, can we meet again?
