Rebirth after waste

Chapter 147

After Cui Shuo's foot injury was bandaged, he leaned on the bed, eyes drooping, thinking about something.

Seeing that his face was pale, Tong Yi couldn't help frowning and said, "I said Liu Lang, you are not too young, how can you be so careless? It's just playing a ball, and you hurt yourself like this."

Cui Shuo didn't make a sound.

After Tong Yi taught this sentence, he was still puzzled, shook his head and sighed, "I heard that you still beat His Majesty today? Although I have never been an official, I also know that it is not a good thing to beat your lord in public. Why do you have to work so hard? ...."

Tong Yunxuan on the side said softly: "Brother, don't bother Liu Lang. He is so smart, he has his own reasons for everything..."

Tong Yi naturally knew what his sister said was right.If it was normal, he would not have come to ask about Cui Shuo's affairs in the palace, but his various behaviors are very strange these days.The last time I suddenly ran over to him for a drink, I told him what to do next, as if explaining the funeral.Based on the two people's understanding over the years, he guessed that he must have encountered some great troubles, which were so troublesome that he didn't know how to resolve them with his current status.

He was worried, but he didn't dare to tell his sister about these things, so he could only worry about it by himself.I was very anxious, but this evening I suddenly received the news that Cui Shangshu was batting with His Majesty, fell off his horse and injured his right foot.He was terribly frightened, and hurried with his younger sister to Cui Shuo's mansion before the curfew.

It was obvious that he didn't know what to say, so he just sat on the side sullenly and didn't speak anymore.

"I don't think it's getting too early, brother, why don't you go back to your room and rest, okay?" Tong Yunxuan said suddenly.

Tong Yi looked at her inexplicably, "What about you?"

"I have something to say to Liu Lang." Tong Yunxuan said calmly, "After talking, I will naturally go back to sleep."

Tong Yi was stunned for a moment, then slowly frowned.

This girl has really troubled him for the past few years.Back then, he and Liu Lang didn't think carefully and ignored the thoughts of the youngest daughter, which caused her to give Cui Shuo her heart early.I thought that she would gradually understand when she was older, but who knew that although she never mentioned her affection for Cui Shuo in the past few years, she has always insisted on refusing to marry.After procrastinating, I actually dragged myself into a 20-year-old girl.

According to the rules of the country, if a woman is seventeen or not married, the official matchmaker will come to match her. Fortunately, Cui Shuo has a high status now, and the officials did not force Yunxuan to marry him for the sake of Lord Shangshu.But even so, Tong Yi really didn't want to see his only family member wasting his youth like this.

"What do you and Liu Lang have to say?" He feigned displeasure, "He was injured and needs to rest early, you go out with me."

With a smile on Tong Yunxuan's lips, she repeated it gently but firmly, "I have something to say to Liu Lang, and I will leave after I finish talking."

Tong Yi was fooled by her weird attitude. After a moment of silence, he still compromised, "Then I'll go out first, don't delay too long."

Tong Yunxuan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, brother."

After Tong Yi went out, Tong Yunxuan walked to the table, picked up the small white porcelain bowl that had been placed there, and said, "After leaving it for a while, the medicine is not hot anymore. Liu Lang should drink it quickly."

Cui Shuo said lightly, "You put it there, I'll get up and drink it later."

Tong Yunxuan smiled slightly, and turned to look at Cui Shuo, "Liu Lang, you don't have to be cold to me deliberately. What I want to tell you tonight is not what you think."

Cui Shuo looked at her, a trace of confusion gradually appeared in his eyes.

"I'm getting married." Tong Yunxuan wrote lightly, as if what she said was a very natural thing.

Cui Shuo's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect it at all.After a while, he finally realized, and asked: "When did it happen? Why didn't Ah Yi tell me?"

"He didn't say it because he didn't know." Tong Yunxuan shrugged, "I picked the person myself, and I haven't told him yet!"

Since ancient times, marriage has always paid attention to the orders of a parent and the words of a matchmaker.Tong Yunxuan's parents died early, and Brother Tong Yi took over the father's place. Naturally, he should have the full power to decide these matters.But Cui Shuo has always known that Yunxuan has an independent personality, choosing a husband and son-in-law for herself before notifying Tong Yi is really like her style.

After all, if Tong Yi could really control Tong Yunxuan, he wouldn't let her delay getting married for so many years.

"That person...how is it? Do you like him?" He obviously heard that her marriage was something he had been looking forward to for the past few years, but when it really happened at this moment, he couldn't help but worry.If she gave up on herself and chose someone at random, and ended up hurting herself, it would be his fault.

Tong Yunxuan lowered her eyes when she heard the words, as if recalling the appearance of that person in her mind, her cherry lips slightly pursed, showing a shallow smile, "Human, of course I can't compare to you Liulang. But he is very good to me, and I... really want to marry him."

Her appearance was a bit shy, completely different from her usual vigorous and capable appearance, and it could be seen that what Shicai said was from the bottom of her heart.

Cui Shuo finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then laughed, "That's good. If you find a good home, Ah Yi and I will settle our worries."

Tong Yunxuan sat next to him with a medicine bowl, and asked with a smile, "So, can I drink the medicine now?"

Cui Shuo felt that her clear eyes seemed to see through him, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, took the medicine bowl, and drank it clean in a few gulps.

Tong Yunxuan took the empty medicine bowl and put it back on the table.After doing all this, she didn't look back, but turned her back to him and whispered: "Liulang, do you know why I dismissed brother?"

Cui Shuo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, "That's right, why did you say it in front of Ah Yi when you felt unwell? It's also to make him happy."

Tong Yunxuan chuckled and said slowly: "Because of this news, I want to be the first to tell you.

"I know that for so many years, you and my brother are very clear about my thoughts on you. Even you moved out of my house to avoid me. I was actually very sad at first, and I didn't understand why you were like this. But gradually Yes, I figured it out too.

"You hide from me, because you know that you are destined to not be able to give me what I want. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Instead of entangled in wasted years, it is better to let me suffer a little bit now, so that I can recognize the status quo.

"But you probably didn't expect it? I'm so stubborn. Even if I don't see you all year round, I won't marry. I know that my brother will almost blame you for this...

"I used to think that I would be like this for the rest of my life, guarding a doomed love and being lonely. Sometimes I comfort myself in my heart, it's okay if I don't get married. Now I am so capable, brewing wine, making lamps, raising silkworms and weaving cloth, Everything is the best in the neighborhood. I can support myself with my own hands, without relying on the protection of my husband. Thinking about it this way, I really feel that the future life is still very interesting.

"But I didn't expect that I could still meet someone who made me fall in love. He is not as good-looking as you, nor as talented as you, but he is already a good man in my heart, and he is worthy of my entrustment for the rest of my life.

"It was only after being with him that I realized that I had been so unhappy these years, and it turned out that it felt so good to be accompanied by someone. I used to think that I was peaceful and comfortable, but after encountering real happiness, it seemed so Dismal, like a dry well, lifeless.

"If it wasn't for him, I'd probably forget what it's like to laugh out loud..."

"Yunxuan..." Because her back was facing him, Cui Shuo could only see her slightly trembling shoulders, and he couldn't help calling out, his heart tightening.

"Liu Lang, let me finish talking... I've been holding back these words in my heart for a long time..." Tong Yunxuan said quickly, "Even if I'm a little bolder on weekdays, I'm still a daughter after all. You should know that a woman has to go all out and say It takes a lot of courage to do these things. I’m afraid that once I stop, I won’t be able to speak again.”

After she said this, Cui Shuo didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only listen to her continuation quietly.

Tong Yunxuan took a deep breath and continued: "I used to think that you were Sister Unforgettable Wei, so you suffered so much. But some things that happened later made me start to doubt.

"Liulang, you go to Longjiang Pool every year to set off lanterns, not because you like it, but because you are waiting for someone, right?"

Cui Shuo recalled that year when he met Gu Yunxian by the Longjiang Pool by chance. After that, he would go there every year during the Lantern Festival.The reason why he took the initiative to make friends with Tong Yi and write inscriptions for his river lanterns was also because he had a dreamy and almost illusory wish in his heart: maybe one day, the river lanterns with his handwriting could be delivered to her, and she would write them in person. Put it into the blue water.

"This year's Lantern Festival, there was trouble at Longjiang Pool. I saw you were standing with a lady, and you stood up to protect her. I always feel that you look at her differently from others...

"I think you like her...

"Liu Lang, don't deny it in a hurry. I won't ask you who that person is, and I won't tell anyone about it. I just think that since you and that lady haven't been together for so many years, it means that the relationship between you Time is hopeless. You and her, just like me and you in the past, are impossible from the beginning. In this case, can you let yourself go and don't be so stubborn? "

It seems that many years ago, Tong Yi, who saw his thoughts, also persuaded him so.As expected, their brothers and sisters have exactly the same temperament, even the words of comfort are exactly the same.

"Liulang, I hope you have a good life. Even if I can't be with you, I hope you can have a good life...Although you are now a proud minister of the emperor, I always feel that no matter what happens, you Happy. If that lady is your heart knot, then, can you try to untie this knot?"

After Tong Yunxuan finished speaking, she finally turned around slowly.

Her eyes were already full of tears, but she forced herself not to look away, and looked at him seriously, "Looking at the appearance of that lady, she must not be an ordinary person, she is probably the wife and concubine of a powerful person. If this is the case , then your affection for her will not only hurt yourself, but also hurt her.

"So Rokuro, forget about her..."
