Chapter 249 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (84)
84
Gradually, the morning sun was slightly dew, shining on the Korean paper above the window, and the room was dimly dyed with a light gleam.

He could vaguely hear the sound of cymbals, which was distant at first, but gradually became clearer and closer to his ears.She couldn't tell where she was for a moment, and opened her eyes to see that the familiar furnishings and layout hadn't gone far, and she was still in the alley of the Wine and Vinegar Bureau.

What should be faced is still to be faced. I was dizzy before, and after a period of relaxation, when I woke up, my heart immediately clenched again.

She took a deep breath and barely stood up. The girl happened to bring tea into the room, and when she saw it, she hurriedly sent a message outside the room, and stepped forward to help her sit up.Sha Tong entered the door with both hands down, bowed and looked up, "Fu Jin... Miss woke up? How do you feel now?"

She stroked her hot forehead, shook her head and said it was all right.

Seeing that she was about to get off the kang, Sha Tong knelt on the edge of the footrest to put on her shoes, and said while lifting the heels of the shoes: "You are too tired and weak, the imperial doctor told you to rest more. Leave the outside work to the slave Come on, you lie down in the house for a while, if you can't make up your mind, the servant will come back to you again."

She sighed, "It's such a big stall, I can't afford it. You ask someone to bring you a bowl of ginseng soup, so I can drink it to refresh my spirits."

Sha Tong didn't do it, so he stood in front of him and hesitated, "Ginseng is hot, so I can't drink it for now. The slave has prepared wolfberry and white fungus soup for you. You can moisturize your lungs and get rid of dryness... Then what, you need to rest more, you can't drink it. Work hard, otherwise it will be bad for the little master."

There was a buzz in her head, "What?"

Sha Tong dryly smiled, "You are not alone now, you have to take care of your children even if you don't care about yourself. Master Twelfth heard the diagnosis first, and he seemed so happy. Now he is going to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. Said that you must miss Master, turn a corner on the road and invite Master Wu, what's on your mind, so as to ask him for his advice."

Ding Yi fell back into the mattress again, how could he have a child at this juncture!She turned sideways, feeling dazed, although she was a little happy, but when she thought of Ru Jian lying on the door panel, ice formed in her cavity again.She said: "Tongzi, I can't keep this child, there is a gap in my heart, it's too deep, I can't get over it."

Sha Tong drooped his eyebrows and said: "You are bitter, the servant knows. But you can't play tricks on the little master. This is the child of you and the twelfth master. You two got him together because of your like-mindedness. It has nothing to do with others. If there is chaos outside, let him go to the chaos. You have to have a Bodhisattva in the middle of your heart. You are kind. You put yourself in the right position. The twelfth master and the little master, neither of them provoked you, you No matter how hard or painful things are about your natal family, don't bring them back to your own home. Although you and Twelfth Lord are not married, you are already better than husband and wife. Think about it, if it wasn't for you, Twelfth Lord would have suffered outside Wronged?" Sha Tong shook his head, "You don't know, after Prince Zhuang was imprisoned, people in the clan had a big opinion on Lord Twelfth, and if you run on him again, he will almost die unjustly. Just yesterday , Someone sent a tablet to Prince Jin's mansion yesterday, with the name of the Twelfth Lord written on it. You said that the Twelfth Lord cut off their fortune for these wicked ghosts, and they wished to kill him. He was struggling in the court , you don't feel sorry for him?"

Ding Yi couldn't bear his noise, so she thought about it for a while, Ru Jian hasn't sent it yet, she has to save her body to do things.Maybe wait a while, it won't be too late to deal with it after passing this pass.

She reached out to take off the filial piety hat and put it on, opened the curtain and went out to see the red clouds in the east. She turned her head and told the eunuchs below, "Make room by the side of the funeral shed, and move all the paper carts and paper horses in, lest the sky will change later. ” After entering the mourning hall, seeing that the food and drink on the altar table was still the same as yesterday, he frowned and asked someone to remove it and replace it with new ones.

Sha Tong was frowning by the side, this oily girl would not go in and would not listen to advice, and had so many things going on, I was really afraid that she would hurt herself.Just as he was in a hurry, someone came in from the door, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Wu Changgeng, he rushed up to meet him and cupped his hands, "Master Wu, you are here..."

He wanted to talk too much, but Dingyi glared at him and swallowed it back.When she saw Master, she burst into tears before she opened her mouth to speak.

"It's done, don't cry. I got the letter yesterday, but now you are from a family, I don't have to summon you, so I don't want to come to see you rashly." Wu Changgeng patted her on the shoulder, "Good boy , I’m sorry for you. There are many injustices in the world, let’s take it easy! I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I’m so haggard, Master feels bad. Now I’m here, and I’ll share some of the burden for you. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Worry about it. Your senior brother went to Shuntian Mansion to ask for leave, and came back to help with the cooking, so you can rest when you have time."

Her jaw trembled, her legs and feet were too weak to stand steadily, so she had to be supported by two maids.They compared their hands in the wing room, "I have nothing to do in the morning, so Master will sit in the room for a while. Anyway, there are few relatives and friends, so there is no need to greet them. After the big funeral at night, my heart will settle down."

Wu Changgeng turned around and took a look, "Let's get someone to prepare the booklet. Set up a table by the door. You don't have relatives or friends. Most of you are court officials who come here to see the Twelfth Lord's face. If you don't prepare early, you will panic .” While talking, he burned incense before going to the case, and paid homage respectfully.

Master is a restless person, and he will definitely not want to sit comfortably when he arrives.He loves his apprentice, and if he can help, the burden on the child's shoulders will be lighter.The trumpeters are all watching people order the dishes, and they are idle waiting for the news if they don't receive the dispatch.Wu Changgeng walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers are waiting, the head of the bereavement family can't take care of the young man, everyone, please be considerate. Seeing that it's almost time, let's go to the drinking place and get moving!"

Standing under the eaves, Dingyi heard a suona speak first, the sharp and high-pitched tones trembled to the sky, and one after another joined in, forming an earth-shattering panic.She calmed down for a while and walked in. Ru Jian lay there, except that she was paler, no different from when she was alive.

She knelt and sat down on the futon. There is an old custom among the people that the small coffin should be kept for three days to prevent the resurrection of the dead.For some reason, she always felt that Ru Jian was not dead, he was just tired, overslept, and would wake up at some point.She stared at him blankly, and said in a low voice, "Brother San, I'm pregnant with a child. I'm in a lot of turmoil now, and this child came at an unlucky time. If something happened to you, how can I live with him? How else would you Wake up, when we wake up, we will be complete, if you really die, I will never get well in the future."

Unable to wait for his answer, she often went to touch his hand, hoping to feel a little warmth, but it was a pity that she was disappointed every time.It's not like being fooled on the stage, where did so many come back to life? She sat slumped, her tears had already flowed down, but she couldn't cry because she was heart-piercingly sad.

The curtain swayed, and someone came in through the curtain. She looked up, and it was Hailan.She was anxious, fearing that it would be like yesterday again, so she hurriedly got up and dragged her to the back room.He sat her down and looked at her carefully. She didn't cry anymore, but her face was not very good.She sat down next to her and whispered: "Sister-in-law, the family still wants you to come?"

She lowered her eyes and said, "I made a promise to let me come. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Yesterday was a mess, I cried all I could, but didn't say anything. Let's talk!"

Dingyi looked at her, her expression was sad, the two of them sat opposite each other, they actually had a lot to say, but they didn't know how to say it, so he hesitated and said: "We brothers and sisters are sorry for you too much, I don't care I didn't expect things to turn out like this. In the past two days, I've been thinking that if I hadn't been so smart and came to you at the beginning, I wouldn't have let you go through the pain again. I hope you and my third brother can be reunited, but... "

Hailan shook her head, "Don't say that, I am grateful to you no matter what. I have waited for at least ten years for me to have a chance to see him again, otherwise I can hardly remember his face." She said slowly Slowly speaking, a smile slowly crept onto the corners of his lips, "Actually, when I was waiting at the inn, I was very scared. I was afraid that I would see a rough guy who was five big and three rough. I was afraid that he would no longer be what he used to be. Fortunately, God has mercy, he walked in the door All of a sudden it reminded me of the previous scene, he was blushing, and he was still the same as when he was 15 years old. You don’t know how happy I was at that time, he was thin-skinned, and I hugged him first. He was shy, yes I kissed him first. Now that I think about it, I am really not ashamed, but I really like him. I have liked him since he came to my house to propose a marriage. I have liked him for 13 years. Sometimes I ask myself, but I have met a few times, It’s still so far away, why do you just think about it. Later, I realized that although the fate is shallow, it was also my fate, and I was destined to wait for him for the rest of my life. Now... I don’t think he’s dead, he’s just another He left and went to a far away place without me, so I have to wait for him. Maybe wait another ten or twenty years before we can meet again."

Dingyi was made to cry by her words, "You can't wait any longer. When will this go on? How many decades can a woman have to kill? You can't spend them all on him. Find a good man while you're still young." , give birth to a child, forget about him! The past debt can only wait for the next life, you can't let him pay it back in the next life."

Hailan said with tears: "I just want him to be clear, so that he will spend double the time with me. I can't marry someone else. If I marry, I have to be buried with someone else. If he finds out, he will let go. .I have to wait for him cleanly. He came, but I was embarrassed to leave, so I stayed."

Ding Yi firmly held her hand, and asked her lately, "Then you and him, have you..."

"No." She didn't look embarrassed, she looked infinitely regretful, "I knew this, I shouldn't let myself have regrets. Looking back now, did he always have no idea in his heart, maybe he was always ready to sacrifice, so he didn't plan It's more difficult. Men are different from women, women can settle for the next best thing, men are too persistent, terribly persistent, they don't care about life and death, and they don't care about the people who love him."

Dingyi bowed his head and said: "It's still my fault. I brought him back to the capital because I want to be with the Twelfth Lord. Rujian wants to fulfill me and justify my name."

Hai Lan turned to persuade her, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't blame yourself, he told me that his determination to take revenge has never wavered. He is also waiting for an opportunity to use the power of the Twelfth Lord to reverse the case for the Wen family. Otherwise, there will be no relatives For no reason, which prince would take the case of more than ten years ago to heart?" After finishing speaking, he sighed, "It's also fate, fate is doomed. I just think he is too miserable, and he hasn't had a good day. .”

Some people live a carefree and innocent life, while others may spend their entire lives in brine.For a person who has not been tempered by pain, the world is full of flowers in his eyes.However, ease can be the same as ease, but suffering can produce all kinds of flavors.There is no such thing as fairness in the world, and it is a good wish to bear hardships and rewards, but it is just a wish, not a necessity.

Dingyi stopped crying, and asked her anxiously, "What are sister-in-law's plans in the future?"

Hailan stroked the apron on her knees calmly, and said in a low voice, "I want to go to Huairou, there is a Hongluo Temple, where our female relatives used to pay their vows. I don't know any distant places, so let's go there , become a monk, concentrate on practicing, and pray for him for the rest of his life."

Dingyi couldn't say, "Are you going to make my third brother feel uneasy after his death? You have to be good, don't make him miss you."

"If he really cares about me, he should come back." She endured it for a long time, and finally cried, "Why didn't he give me a dream when he cared about me? He walked so quickly, how could he be worthy of me?"

I love him so much and hate him so much, but I still can't bear to hate him.Ding Yi insisted on persuading her, "He was being harmed by others, and he himself didn't want to do this. Maybe he wanted to entrust you with a dream, but his ability is not enough."

It's nothing more than the new ghosts, old ghosts, what else can be explained besides this.The two people met each other with tears in their eyes, and they stopped crying for a while, Dingyi said: "Is it true that sister-in-law is not married?"

Hailan nodded and said yes, "You only have a few decades in your life, where will you meet such a person again? If you don't marry, you'd be ashamed to say so, what am I? "

"Don't say that." Ding Yi took her hand and said, "You are sincere, you don't have to become a monk. After the third brother's business is over, I will send someone to rebuild a house outside, so you can go and relax."

Hailan was a little surprised, "Why reset the house? You and Prince Chun..."

"Don't mention him." She said shyly, "I just hate him. He promised to protect my third brother well, but in the end my third brother died tragically in prison. No matter how big my heart is, I can't be with him anymore. Seeing him I just think of my third brother, and it feels like a knife is twisting in my heart."

Hailan looked at her melancholy, "Don't waste your luck, this matter has nothing to do with him, you can't spread your uselessness on him. My frugality is gone, you have to cherish the people in front of you, are you living for Others are for yourself." She stood up and glanced outside, "I won't leave for two days, and I will stay here until he is buried. I have figured out the way forward, so don't persuade me .”

She forced a smile, which made Dingyi feel more and more uncomfortable. If she wanted to enlighten her again, she raised her hand to signal her to stop talking.

She asked the servants to wear filial piety and wear it as a widow.Bannerman's aunt had a big idea, and the Suo family shook their heads when they saw it, but there was nothing they could do.

Ding Yi accompanied her to the front yard, and when she passed the hanging flower gate, she saw Hong Ce standing on the corridor, looking at her with a dejected expression but couldn't get close, but couldn't leave her behind.Her eyes didn't stay on him for a moment longer, she turned around and went into the mourning hall.
