Taohuaxi

Chapter 56

Feng Gao looked at me and said: "Sister, he is seriously injured and cannot run far. If sister must find him back, I will..."

The night wind rustled the mulberry trees in the courtyard.

I sat on the bed where Cheng Huaishi slept. After a while, I waved my hand to him and said, "No need to look for it."

Feng Gao sat next to me, with a bit of relief and a bit of uncertainty in his eyes, and asked, "Why did sister say that?"

I said: "Before he was imprisoned, he wrote a letter of divorce, in duplicate. One was handed over to me by Heming, and the other was sent all the way to the elder of the Cheng family. He left no room for divorce. You I tried to find a way to rescue him from death row. I had a glimmer of hope and wanted to escape with him to a remote and uninhabited place and live a paradise-like life. But he chose to go to the fire with Miss Xun. . Bean sprouts, from that moment on, my sister knew that it was impossible to be with him. There was suffering in his eyes and the common people in his heart. He would never be able to live a secluded life in this life. He was not a bad person, and he had never been No. It’s just that, as things have come to this, destiny is like this, and my fate with him is over.”

Once upon a time, on the bed.We were chatting about the script of "It's Hard to Find a Husband When the Spring Falls in Yutang".

He said very resolutely that Mr. Wang should be on good terms with Miss Su.

Today, he and I have become characters in the story.

Why not.

Feng Gao squeezed my cold hand.

"Sister is not a member of the officialdom, so I don't have so many thoughts. From the beginning to now, I just want to keep my duty and grow old with the same person. He was in Xingbang High School and became an official. I never thought that I could be a husband. Honorable wife. When he was in trouble and sentenced to beheading, I never thought of being alone. He was rich and noble all his life, so I took care of his family, and gave him orders when he begged for food. Nothing was impossible. But he was iron-clad. He abandoned me. I will do whatever he wants." I smiled, as if there was a touch of coptis on my lips.

My marriage with Cheng Huaishi has always been crowded.

From the moment Xun Yitang stopped my carriage in front of Mingyue Lake in Yangzhou, I knew that she had an unusual relationship with Cheng Huaishi.

Three parts of the world are bright moons, and two parts are shining alone in Yangzhou.The huge Yangzhou Mansion cannot contain all the infatuation.

Cheng Huaishi never wanted to face this problem head on.He always said that she was the daughter of his mentor, and taking care of her was just a responsibility.

I believe it.

But I stood in front of the fire in Taohua Temple, in a trance, confused, who did he love?

stop.

stop.

What I should do, what I can do, I have done.

Feng Gao said cautiously: "It's best if my sister can think openly. Cheng Huaishi is now a dead man by name. He can't do business or enter an official position. He also has severe burns and his appearance is disfigured. He is no different from trash. Thinking about it, he doesn't want to involve his sister. Sister, I will get you whoever you like. It doesn't matter who it is, I think it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you are happy."

"Silly. Marriage is hard to come by. Did you get it just because you got it? My sister is now a concubine. She doesn't want to think about the love between a man and a woman. If you live a good life, you will be very happy. alright."

He lowered his head and said: "There is something, after much thought, I still want to tell my sister that I know about it."

"What's the matter?"

"Wang Yuzhen is dead."

I looked at him.

He said: "I didn't kill her. I later found out about Wandou. I wanted to cut her into pieces. When something happened to the Cheng family, Cheng Cangshi fled back to the Cheng family shop in Jicheng, and Wang Yuzhen was picked up by her mother's family. Back to Fuliang. I sent people all the way to Fuliang, and her mother-in-law’s family was organizing a funeral for her. They said she suffered a blow from the old lady of the Cheng family, and the road was bumpy, and she couldn’t hold on, so she died. It was an advantage for her. "

Pea is the scar in my heart.

Don't dare to mention it, don't dare to expose it.

He was in my belly for several months and was connected to me by blood.Once it was gone, there was no trace.

The peas are fresh green and the cherries are overripe and red.One year spring passed, and most of the time it rained.

Lost son.Letter of divorce.

No more thoughts.

That night, I dreamed of my mother over and over again.

She and I were wishing our family those trivial and ordinary moments of happiness.

She taught me how to paint, made clothes for me, and took me to the cabinet to get busy with Zhujiahua Brewing.

She picked up a pen and wrote a plaque for the Zhu family: A pot of wine among the flowers.

She is always so gentle and capable.

She gave me all the maternal love she could, so much so that I never doubted that I was her biological child.

Sang Yu is not late, and the moon is like the wind.

The water of the Grand Canal is vast and blue.

I silently made my next decision.

I should go back to Zhu's house to repay my mother for her years of upbringing.

Early the next morning, Feng Gao went to the Yamen and told the servants in his private house not to wake me up and let me rest.I slept until midnight, got up, and took Xiaoyin back to Cheng Mansion.

Qin Mingxu was waiting for me outside the door.

"Sangyu, there is a new breakfast shop outside Donghua Gate. The owner is from Shandong. He makes very good noodle soup. I will take you to eat it." He smiled eagerly.

"No." I said.

"Let's go, let's go together. You haven't had a good meal in a few days. The only way to relieve your worries is good food."

He pulled me into the carriage without any explanation: "Sang Yu, I have something important to tell you."

He seemed to be back to the way he was when we first met him, when he was healing my feet.

on the carriage.

I asked him: "If you want anything, please tell me."

"About the Zhu family." He said: "The Zhu family's business cannot make ends meet. Zhu Xifeng got into trouble in the brothel last month. He had a fight with the son of the Zhizhou family of Dongchang Prefecture over a singing girl. The Zhizhou was aggressive. Demanding a large sum of compensation. Mr. Zhu had no choice but to pawn and sell the house."

"Have we actually reached this point?"

He hurriedly said: "Sang Yu, don't worry, listen to me. I have paid for the Zhu family's old house. However, the Zhu family has offended the local magistrate, and life will probably be difficult. The magistrate is going around to help The Zhu family is a stumbling block. The Zhu family is having a hard time in Dongchang Mansion. I think it’s better to——"

He looked at me and said seriously: "Why don't the Zhu family move to Yangzhou with their whole family. In the prosperous land of Jiangnan, the Zhu family has ancestral flower brewing recipes. If you want to start business again, Yangzhou is the most suitable place. Over there at the Chamber of Commerce, I’m familiar with them all…”

"I bought a house in Yangzhou and hung a plaque with the title of Zhu Mansion. I have mentioned this to Mr. Zhu, and he was very happy. Soon I took Master Xifeng and set off by boat."

I said: "If we are not relatives, why are you doing such a big favor for the Zhu family? I know my father well. You help him once, twice, ten times or eight times. After a long time, he will become accustomed to it. I'll look for you when I have trouble."

Qin Mingxu smiled and said: "It's better to look for me! I'm afraid he won't look for me! What does it mean to be neither relatives nor friends? You and I are good friends, and your family is naturally my family. The ancients had a family-entrusted friendship, don't you and I Isn’t that right?”

While talking, we arrived at the breakfast shop.

He found a seat familiarly and wiped the stool before letting me sit down.

The waiter came up.

Red soup, green vegetable leaves.Red with green, the color is pleasant.

He smiled: "Eat quickly."

I picked up the chopsticks.

While he was eating, he looked outside.

The East Factory is at Donghua Gate.From the breakfast shop, you can see the house number of Dongchang in the distance.

After a while, I heard movement on the other side.

Feng Gao left Dongchang.

A group of people shouted and hugged each other.

Qin Mingxu's face suddenly showed worry.

He hesitated for a while and then said to me: "Sang Yu, did you know that something happened in the Qin Mansion?"

I put down the chopsticks.

"The servants of the Qin Mansion told me that people from Dongchang kidnapped my father."

Feng Gao finally took action.

Ever since that day, when he found out the truth, this matter has been on my mind.

It happened anyway.

I am silent.

Qin Mingxu lowered his head and said, "Sang Yu, the last time I went back to Yangzhou, my father... told me everything."

Although Mr. Zhang did not expose this matter during his lifetime, his care for the Qin family's business was unprecedented.In addition, Mrs. Qin has not returned for a long time, and Mr. Qin, a veteran in the business field, must have noticed it.As for what he meant by calling his son back home, I don't know.

Qin Mingxu knew his life experience.

His unreasonable reactions when he heard about Master Zhang's death and when he saw Mrs. Qin being intimate with Feng Gao all made sense.

"Sang Yu, my father is indeed guilty of this. If he is guilty, he should bear the responsibility. I don't blame Mr. Feng."

I said: "It's really rare for you to think so."

Because of Master Qin's abandonment, because of Master Qin's selfishness, and because of Master Qin's deception, Feng Gao had a miserable first half of his life.I really can't persuade him to "forgive" him.I am not qualified to forgive anyone for him.

With Feng Gao's temper, the only reason he could avoid angering Qin Mingxu was because he cared about Mrs. Qin and me.

Qin Mingxu and I returned to Cheng Mansion. On the way, we also bought the pickles and pickled fish that Mrs. Qin loved to eat.

West Wing.

Feng Gao is also there.

Mrs. Qin was sitting with him talking.

Feng Gao had a green smile on his face.

Mrs. Qin used a ruler to measure his figure.

Qin Mingxu and I walked in.

When Feng Gao saw Qin Mingxu, he didn't say anything. He just stood up and called me.

Qin Mingxu looked at Feng Gao, then at Mrs. Qin, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Mother, the factory owner, my father's sins will never be redeemed by death. No matter what the Qin family does, they can never be redeemed by the mother and the factory owner." The pain of separation of flesh and blood is hard to compare with the pain of the factory owner. I accept all of this. However, my father is old and as a son, if you see your father in trouble and fail to save him, you will be unkind and unfilial, and you will lose the principles of human ethics. The ancients said, It is only natural that the father's debt should be repaid by the son, and I am willing to use my life to repay my father's debt!"

He took out a short knife from his arms and quickly stabbed himself in the heart.

Mrs. Qin was shocked and rushed towards him and hugged him: "Xu'er, what are you doing? Xu'er, this is none of your business. Your mother has raised you for more than [-] years, and you are also her son..."

The love between mother and son for so many years is real.

After spending so many years together day and night, Mrs. Qin's love for him is also true.

Blood flowed out.

Qin Mingxu cried and said, "Mother, the Qin family is sorry for you."

Mrs. Qin felt as sad as her heart burned.

Feng Gao on the side frowned deeply, with a look of pain and hesitation on his face.
