Taohuaxi

Chapter 64
If there is a seemingly invisible moon in the sky, the swaying candlelight beside the table, the flickering years passing through the fingers, and the people on the couch who wake up and down.

He understood what I was saying.

Some surprises, some joy, and some sadness.

"Sang Yu, you..." He looked at me.

I put away the long thoughts in my heart and smiled: "From now on, if you can't hold a pen, I will help you write. If you can't hold a sword, I will hide from the sword with you. As long as you don't dislike me, I will always be with you." Holding you."

He hurriedly said: "Sang Yu, how can I dislike you? Last year, at the door of the Cheng family's warehouse, I told you that as long as you want to get married again, I will always be here. It's just..."

He paused and carefully placed the painting in his left hand back on the table.

He lowered his head for a while and said: "Sang Yu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. In other words, I'm not waiting for you, but I'm waiting for my knot to be resolved. I'm not afraid to tell you that before I meet you on the boat, I have never taken anyone seriously. I was born in a prosperous and prosperous town in the south of the Yangtze River. I have been wild and unrestrained since I was young. I grew up in the Qin Mansion and watched my father marry one aunt after another. Wealthy businessmen and gentry ate fancy wine and spent huge sums of money on women with fireworks. I once thought that all feelings in this world can be measured by money. I am the eldest son of the Qin family, and my father has never restricted me in terms of expenses. I use money to buy laughter. I have done the same thing. I thought that in the future, I would just marry a well-matched, shallow and naive young lady to come back as a decoration, and then continue to play with me and have a romantic life."

"On the boat, I noticed you. You were wearing half-old Gebu clothes, holding a steamed bun, and eating very seriously. Your eyes were colder than the water in the canal in winter. You told the maid next to you to eat when you are hungry. , sleep when you feel sleepy, leaving no room for desire. When the robbers came, you didn’t scream, you were extremely calm, and ran away. I am inexplicably curious about you. I have never seen a woman like you. I followed you all the way. . You sprained your foot, but you didn’t stop running. There was cold sweat on your cheeks, but you never cried out in pain. Sang Yu, I thought about it many times later, when did this woman who couldn’t cry out in pain come into my heart? Was it when you refused me to treat your feet? How often had the young master of Tiansheng Tower been refused? Was it when you told me that the bandit had colluded with my servant to help me uncover the culprit? The house is deep, it is difficult to guard against house thieves, my mother is indifferent and indifferent, and my father is addicted to wine and sex. I am forced to compete with everyone. For the first time, someone helps me. You make me feel that I am not alone."

Having said this, he smiled lightly, and the smell of medicine slowly drifted to the injured hand.

"A woman who doesn't cry out for pain makes me feel sorry for her unconsciously."

"I saw your marriage certificate. When I saw you off the ferry, I thought that the momentary heartbeat was just an illusion of meeting by chance. I soon forgot about it. Soon, I just returned to Yangzhou and heard the news of your husband's death. You became a widow as soon as you entered the house and went to worship with the spiritual tablet. I couldn't help it and went to find you. I think you are not so bitter. It would be good if I could give you a little sweetness."

"You rejected me right away and called me a disciple. That night, I went to Baihualou again out of anger. If you become a disciple, you will become a disciple. It's not like I have to do it with you. But I suddenly found that everything was overshadowed. It has become different from before. I can’t tell what is different. It turns out that a person’s heart is actually very small. When the heart is empty, even looking at the flowers, it is still lonely. When there is someone in the heart, Miss her quietly, even if you are not with her, missing her is beautiful."

"Cheng Huaishi came back. My thoughts turned into kites, floating in the sky. I spent many days forgetting. Later, I let myself go. I no longer force myself. Marriage is destined. I only blame God, Do not blame you."

"When I tried my best to save Cheng Huai, I had no selfish motives. Sang Yu, do you understand now what I mean by waiting? What I am waiting for is that one day, my obsession with you will disappear. I hope that I can truly Like a friend, I stand by your side. But I haven't waited. I still like you, only you. Your perseverance, bravery, boldness, and carefulness. Your photographic memory. Your forbearance and restraint. As long as you are , everything is just right.”

"The world is unpredictable. You were divorced from the Cheng family and became single again. Sang Yu, I'm afraid that you will wander away. I swear to God, I am not happy because of your divorce. I am just sad. I know, you The pain in your heart must be very full. I will stay by your side and I can help you a little, just a little."

"Businessmen are all about repayment. Only you, I have never thought about repayment. Today, Wang Yuzhen suddenly attacked and I couldn't think for a moment. The moment I pounced on you, I even felt a lot of joy in my heart. If I Like Cheng Huaishi, when you die, you will miss me just as you miss him."

The lamp on the table was out of oil.

off.

The house was pitch black.

Such darkness spared my face from tears.

I held up the lampstand and said, "I'll go out and add some lamp oil."

"Sang Yu, don't light the lamp, open the window, as long as there is moonlight."

I thought about it, put down the lampstand, and opened the window.

The hazy moon could only be seen clearly.

He said: "Sang Yu, I don't want you to choose me because of guilt. I would rather wait forever."

"Mingxu." I called.

It was the first time I called him that.

I admit that I was being selfish at this moment.

The raging fire in Taohua Temple has passed for a long time.But the wound in my heart is still bleeding.Can't cross it, can't step forward.There will always be a black abyss beside me, and within the abyss is Cheng Huaishi's face.

I don’t want to mislead the country and my dear.

Memories are like a knife, cutting me day by day.

If you can forget.

If it can be opened.

I wanted to reach out and grab an antidote.

It gives me relief for the rest of my life.

The sound of "Mingxu" made him very excited.

He held on and tried to get up from the bed.

I said: "Xi Sangyou, its leaves are in trouble, now that I see a gentleman, how happy is it? Mingxu, let me take care of you. It has nothing to do with guilt. It has nothing to do with love and debt."

He didn't say anything more.

He just handed half of "Peach Blossom Creek" into my hands.

"Then, Sang Yu, I'll wait for you to finish painting it."

"it is good."

I took it, got up, and went back home.

He held on to the doorframe and watched me off.Just like when I held the door frame of Cheng Mansion and watched Cheng Huai go.

"Sang Yu, see you tomorrow. See you early."

I turned around and said, "Okay, see you soon."

The sparse moonlight fills the courtyard.

The aroma of wine fills the courtyard.

He is standing.I left.

What pervades the space between me and him is the joy that is yet to come.

The carriage stopped at Zhu Mansion.

I came down and walked into the main courtyard. When I was about to open the door, I heard something moving inside.

I became alert and called Hua Lian.

Hua Lian opened the door and went in, when a masked man suddenly jumped down from the beam.

Hua Lian stretched out his hand to fight with the man.

After a few rounds, Hua Lian said: "My boss, go call someone quickly! This thief is very skillful!"

I looked at the masked man and said, "No need. Hua Lian, please go back to the house."

Hua Lian looked at me puzzled.

The man lifted the veil and said, "Sister recognized me."

I stretched out my hand and tapped his forehead: "I'll come back as soon as I come back, and I'm still playing around with my sister."

It's Feng Gao.

He came up to me, looked at me carefully, and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time. How are you doing, sister?"

I smiled: "I'm fine. I always miss you."

"The gang in the court were so old and rotten that they clamored all day long for His Majesty to appoint a prince. His Majesty refused, so they used the teachings of their ancestors to suppress him. His Majesty couldn't deal with them, so he simply neglected his administration and refused to go to court. A lot of memorials were handed over. To the Supervisor of Ceremonies. I'm very busy. I always want to come to Yangzhou, but I don't have time."

"It is the custom of this dynasty to make the eldest son the crown prince. Why is Your Majesty unwilling to do so?"

He said: "Your Majesty is very fond of Concubine Zheng and is waiting for Concubine Zheng to give birth to a child...I won't talk about this anymore. Sister, I am here this time to tell you something."

I Minghua Lian said: "Go and get some food."

"Yes." Hua Lian agreed.

I sat down on the chair by the window and said, "I haven't had dinner today, so I'm hungry now. Douya, you and your sister have something to eat together. Let's talk while we eat."

He sat next to me and said casually: "How come my sister is so busy like this?"

"Mingxu is injured. I'm taking care of him in the wine shop."

He looked up.

A layer of light mist fell in the phoenix eyes.

"Qin Mingxu?"

"Yes. He was poisoned by wolfsbane today because of me. Danger after danger."

"Sister placed him in her own wine shop?"

"Hmm. What's wrong?"

I think there's something weird about him.

Hua Lian served several plates of noodles and fruits.

He picked one up and put it to his mouth, but didn't eat it for a long time: "It's nothing. Are my sister and Qin Mingxu so close now?"

After saying that, he seemed to comfort himself: "It's a good thing that my sister is no longer alone, it's a good thing..."

I looked at him and said, "Douya, you just said you have something to tell me. What is it?"

His face froze, but only for a moment, and then he smiled again: "What can I do? I just want to say that I miss my sister."

I ate the noodles and said, "If something happens, don't hide it from me."

He thought for a while and said, "Well, I wanted to ask you, how is your mother?"

It turned out that he was talking about Cai Qingyao.

I breathed a sigh of relief: "She is very good. I stew the blood swallows you sent to her from time to time."

"I'll go see her."

He got up and was about to leave.

When I got to the door, I looked back at me: "Sister, are you happy?"

I was confused and nodded.

He smiled, and a little starlight fell on his thin lips.

The fog in his eyes dispersed.Nine winding ileum, the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"That's good."
