Alternative Telling of Dream of Red Mansions: Cherishing Spring

Chapter 34: Yefeiye (2)
Feng Ziying wasn't surprised when her father revealed her private matter. She turned a deaf ear to her, looked down at Xichun in her arms, and was silent for a long time before she sneered: "Now I know how much energy I have spent on useless things. Juelu, it tempts you to sacrifice your entire youth and talent for it, let your blood dry and become a walking dead who doesn't understand emotions but is willing. I'm just tired of this now. If parents think such a son deserves to die, then please go from here Go out, lock the door, cut off water and food, don't bother us again, let Xichun and I die in peace."

Mother Feng was surprised and frightened at the side, seeing that the father and son were so refusing to budge, she was in a hurry to have nothing to do, she didn't know which one to persuade father and son.Hearing Feng's father's words was startled, and hearing Ziying's words made him feel chilled, his hands and feet felt cold, and he sat on the chair with his hands spread and cried loudly: "You father and son just make trouble like this, I can't control you!"

Feng's father felt a little guilty when he saw his wife was so sad. He was a soldier all his life, and he was not a womanizer. He only married such a wife. He has always respected this noble, beautiful, and elegant lady .Seeing Feng's mother crying sadly, her anger subsided, she closed her eyes and sighed, "How do you know the current situation, the situation is changing rapidly, it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse, how can he act so carelessly and teach others Madam, even if this wickedness doesn’t quarrel with me, I still have to worry about it day and night, not to mention that this beast is causing trouble everywhere! As subjects, our lives belong to the emperor. How dare he keep saying that he wants to be free! Such outrageous words, I don't know who he is, there are people who want to know him. At that time, it will be the disaster of destroying the family!"

Feng Ziying also knows that her father's worries are not unfounded. He has been the servant of the fourth master in the palace since he was a child. In recent years, the Feng family has gradually become the "four master party". Still won the favor of the Holy One, but the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that one day there will be a sudden change. The tragic situation of the nine kings of the previous dynasty seizing the heir is still in front of our eyes, and no one knows whether this bet is right or wrong until the last moment.But at this moment, his mind is not on these things at all, his heart is cold, like walking in a dark and damp cave holding Xichun and dare not let go, he is afraid that once he lets go, he will never find him again.

At this moment, her breath and the fire in his heart are so weak.

Father Feng stopped talking to him, turned around and left.Mother Feng wiped her tears and stood up and said, "I'll tell Lai Yier to send the doctor over, you stay in the room." Mother Feng looked at him, then at Xichun, and sighed, "But son, if you want to With Xichun by my side, Yuchan must be brought back. There are some things that people cannot do as they want, otherwise the world will be in chaos." After Feng's mother finished speaking, she got dressed and went out the door.

Feng Ziying turned a deaf ear and sat there with her head bowed, until Lai Yi'er hurried into the room and said in surprise, "Master! What's going on?" Feng Ziying raised her head when she heard his voice, and asked, "Your friend!" Is the taxi here?"

Lai Yi'er's eyes fell on Xichun, Xichun was held in Feng Ziying's arms, he couldn't see her face, he could only see blood bubbling from her forehead, dripping down her hairline.He quickly turned his eyes back and replied calmly: "Madam Cai just ordered, I have already sent someone to invite someone, Doctor Zhang is at the mansion, and he will be here soon. The servant will go back and call Ru Hua to help Miss Xichun."

"I don't want Xichun to leave my sight, I just clean up one of the rooms inside." Feng Ziying said with a gloomy face.

"This...I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Lai Yi'er persuaded hesitantly.

"There's nothing wrong with it! It's just whether I'm willing or not!" Feng Ziying raised her voice and looked at Lai Yi'er closely, "You see, I'm sick, so the Lord can't do this, right?"

"The slave doesn't dare, I'll do it now!"

When Lai Yi'er was going out, he met Zhang Youshi walking towards him with the little drug boy, and saw him hastily saluted: "Master." Zhang Youshi asked, "What's the matter?" The world is in chaos, I will tell you more when I have time, you should go see the patient first. I think both are dangerous."

Zhang Youshi nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and hurried to the other end of the corridor.After entering the room, he glanced at the situation in the room, and without being polite to Feng Ziying, he immediately ordered the boy to change the candle, looked at Feng Ziying's face by the light of the candle, grabbed his hand, took the pulse, and examined it carefully for a long time Then he put down his hands, turned around and told Xiaotong to open the medicine box he was carrying, and said: "Take out two of the balls that Da Nei sent you before, dissolve them in water, and fry the medicine on it. You have to watch by , do not turn off the fire in the middle, boil six bowls of water into one and a half bowls, serve it while it is hot."

The boy did as he was told.Only then did Zhang Youshi raise his eyes to look at Feng Ziying, shook his head and said, "If you keep doing this, if you ask Da Luo Jinxian to save you, there is nothing I can do."

When Feng Ziying saw him coming, she seemed to have received a life-saving elixir, and wanted him to see Xichun first, but Zhang Youshi only cared about seeing a doctor for him, and didn't care about Xichun at all.

"Youshi, take a look at Xichun first...she's passed out!" He was extremely anxious.

"What are you panicking! She looks dangerous, but she is not as dangerous as you!" Zhang Youshi glanced at him, then did not allow him to say more, took out a silver needle and pressed Feng Ziying there, and said, "I have to treat you first, you have been depressed for a long time. In addition to the anger just now, I saw that your complexion was not right when I came in, if the treatment is a little late, you may not be alive, you have to think clearly."

Feng Ziying let out a long sigh, sat there and stopped moving.He knew in his heart that if he wanted to see Xichun again and protect her, he had to save his own life first.

"You put her down and hold her so tight, how can I treat her later? If a needle is wrong, it's yours and mine?" Zhang Youshi said again.

Feng Ziying stared at him for a long time, and finally put Xichun on the bed according to his words, and said with a helpless smile: "You, I'm afraid I won't see you when I die, let me let you go, what about your doctor's parents?"

Zhang Youshi kept his face cold and didn't raise his head. He just put needles on him, and then he raised his head and replied: "You and I are friends in common people. If I didn't know you, I wouldn't go to Laoshizi Tai Hospital. We are here every day." If you are not clean, who should I complain to? For you, I only care about healing and nothing else."

Feng Ziying had a close relationship with him and didn't mind his rudeness. Instead, she smiled apologetically and said solemnly, "You and I are like brothers. I have a question for you. You must tell me the truth."

At this time Zhang Youshi turned around and was taking care of Xichun, while cleaning Xichun's wound, he replied: "You can ask."

"You say Xichun is fine, but what about my illness?"

"Miss Xichun is in a coma right now. Although she looks dangerous, as long as she wakes up and relieves herself, there will be no major problems in her body, and the few injuries have not hurt her muscles and bones. But you are just hurting your internal organs. I have already treated you Said, I want you to be careful, take good care of yourself according to the method I said now, and if there is no major movement in three to five years, I will guarantee that you will be safe for the rest of your life. Otherwise, it is difficult to say. "

"Three to five years, what can I do, three to five months is too long for me!" Feng Ziying said anxiously, "I think..." He stopped suddenly.That is a plan that is still in planning, so it is inconvenient to let people know so soon.

"I won't stop you if you want to run to the gate of hell, you have to figure it out yourself!" Zhang Youshi turned around and scolded.He is a man with a thin face and concentrated eyebrows. There are deep lines at the corners of his mouth. When he gets angry, he changes his usual indifferent expression and looks gloomy and oppressive.After a while, Zhang Youshi regained his composure. He tilted his head and asked calmly, "What do you want to do! Take her to elope and fly away? Just for this woman, you don't care about your family and life?"

Feng Ziying didn't deny that his mind was broken by humanity, and sighed softly behind him: "How do you know that I didn't care? I have been thinking about what I did for the past two years? If I didn't think too much and it took too long, I would Should have been with her two years ago, not wait until today to make a decision."

Zhang Youshi kept treating Xichun's wound with his hands.Feng Ziying sat there like a statue.There was silence in the room except for the flickering candles.After a long time, Zhang Youshi turned around after packing up the medicine box, picked up the teapot and poured tea, took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "I never thought that love is the only content of life, especially for someone like you. From a human point of view. Maybe what you want to pursue is not wrong, but you are actually not suitable for pursuing these things. Their true value to you is not as good as the honor you got in a royal shooting. A person is the most terrible What’s more, he tried to escape his inherent living environment and go to a new place despite his obvious lack of ability. You know, fish in the sky and birds in the water will die ugly.”

Feng Ziying's heart felt loose because of his words, but she refused to accept it. She opened her mouth and said, "You don't understand the importance of Xichun to me, because you have never met it. You have always been alone."

"Would you believe me when I told you that I met you? And it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not? I can't make a decision for you, I can only remind you not to fall into danger." Zhang Youshi looked at him calmly, unaffected provocative.

Feng Ziying looked at Zhang Youshi, trying to see some clues of the past from his face, but he couldn't see it. He only saw some shadows flashing past Zhang Youshi's eyes like wild animals fleeing in panic. Disappeared, he felt that this person was as deep and overlapping as a dense forest, hiding secrets that he did not know.Just when Zhang Youshi turned around, he vaguely smelled the sad breath under his blue shirt.

He's been alone since he met him, but that doesn't mean he's always been alone.Feng Ziying secretly apologized for being arbitrary to her friend. "Youshi...I..." He was a little ashamed and stopped him.

"I'm leaving. The medicine has been left, I will come again if there is something to do." He put down his teacup and arched his hand, turned and opened the door to leave.

"You go!" Feng Ziying lowered her head and said dejectedly, "I found out that I am a weak and incompetent person."

"Everyone has wounds in their hearts. No one is strong enough to be invulnerable." Zhang Youshi stood at the door and looked up at the sky, and said slowly, the white moonlight shone on his face, and his outline looked cold and cold.

Feng Ziying stopped talking and turned to look at Xichun, not noticing when Zhang Youshi left.

When Xichun woke up, she saw Feng Ziying sitting next to her, looking out the dark window and weeping silently.In the dim light, the water stains on his face reflected light.

"Ziying." With a pain in her heart, she endured the pain and called him.

"You're awake!" He was overjoyed, struggled to get up, and brought the medicine to feed her.Xichun touched the medicine bowl, the bowl was warm, she knew he must have been warmed up several times, waiting for her to wake up, she drank it obediently.

"Have you taken your medicine?" she asked.

"Don't worry, I used it when you fell asleep just now. Look, the bowl is there." He pointed to the table and smiled, "Didn't you just say that? I will get better soon because of you. .”

"You're crying, but you don't know it when you're crying." Xichun sighed, her eyes were glistening, and she seemed to be about to shed tears, but they didn't.Xichun felt pain in her body, afraid that Feng Ziying would be worried, so she didn't make a sound, looked at him for a long time, closed her eyes, "Just now I was thinking. It seems that I really came by mistake. I came, and it seemed to save your life, but it made me The wound in your heart is more divided. You are a passionate person, and you were born in such a family. You are familiar with the rules of the world and are willing to learn, even in the game. You could have been more successful, but you met me, I Your indifference makes you fresh and wakes up the indifferent you, so you start to get tired of this kind of life.”

Feng Ziying listened silently, her smile was suppressed, helplessness and confusion gradually appeared in her eyes.Xichun's words were as sharp as a knife, cutting through his disguise. He was suffering from conflicts in his heart and couldn't calm down. He lowered his head and said, "I just realized that I am a wounded person. I have been fighting against another self all this time. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, it’s not fun. In front of you, or when I’m alone, I can’t hide my contradictions and fatigue, but you are always stronger than me.”

Xichun's heart ached, she regretted the tough gestures she had always made.This camouflages like a weathered sandcastle.When she was really vulnerable and needed protection, no one understood her pain, and no one dared to step in to comfort her. The word "strong" forced her to turn pale like a dagger, and she couldn't breathe. Anyone can praise her for being strong, but it doesn't have to be him.She coughed fiercely, and after a while, she raised her head and said with difficulty: "Don't you know that you are the only one who can make me give up all my strength? Without you, my heart is still barren. What used to be I live to wait to die, and now, I seem to have regained that feeling."

Xichun said turning her face away, she couldn't cry.The mottled copper-green mildew spots accumulated in her heart spread due to the humidity, and her whole body was covered with a layer of dead gray from the inside to the outside, so disappointed that she just wanted to die.

This man doesn't know what he wants. His life has always been straight, so simple that he doesn't need to use his heart to distinguish which is a fork in the road. Therefore, he lacks the determination and courage to face the unknown. He can believe but is like a child. cannot be relied upon.

Sadly, she loves him and tries to depend on him.

Yushan Lane is a little distance from Feng Mansion.When Lai Yier returned home, it was nearly dawn.The family hurriedly welcomed him into the room, while someone entered the interior to report to the painting.After returning from the painting, he didn't sleep well. When he heard the sound, he got up, dressed and came to see him.

"You're back." Ru Hua opened the curtain and came in, looking at the tired Lai Yi'er, he didn't feel very distressed, and greeted him.Behind him, a servant girl came in with water and green salt, Lai Yi'er rinsed his mouth with green salt, Ru Hua stretched out his hand to twist a towel in the basin, and handed him a towel to wipe his face.

Lai Yi'er took the towel and wiped her face, turned around, walked to the chair and sat down, and let out a long breath.Ruhua handed the towel to the servant, turned to Lai Yi'er and said, "There are breasts and hot porridge in the kitchen, which one do you use?"

"Let's have hot porridge. Serve it with some side dishes. I'm so excited, and I'm missing a mouthful of saltiness." Lai Yier said.Entering the painting, he smiled when he heard the words, and turned around to order the servants: "Bring some porridge for the master, with green bamboo shoots, fermented bean curd, sausages and other side dishes, and some thin snacks, and bring me some sour plums." The servants took orders Lai Yi'er's family education is very strict, and she doesn't bother to order, and all the servants go out one by one.

"You still know me." Lai Yi'er had a sad face, but seeing Ru Hua being so considerate, she couldn't help but frowned, and said softly, "You didn't sleep well yourself, why did you wake up?"

"I didn't work as hard as you." Ru Hua reached out to touch Lai Yi'er's cheek, and sighed, "You've lost weight again."

When a man comes home and is tired, he is like a child returning home. He must not like to hear women nagging. Instead, he treats each other with gentle words and is easy to get a good impression. Communication, Ruhua said this, Lai Yier only feels warm in his heart, and a little bit of pressure in his heart If you don't understand, you will be interested in flirting with her. "It's so beautiful..." Lai Yi'er hugged her and kissed her, "It's my blessing to marry you." After being kissed by him, he pushed him in embarrassment: "You are not a serious person, you are so embarrassed. How nice it is for people to see."

Lai Yi'er smiled, guessing that the servants were coming soon, he resumed his seriousness and said, "I'm serious outside every day, it won't hurt to see you being serious again." Ru Hua tilted his head and thought for a while, "That's true." Lai Yi'er hugged her and asked a few questions about her family, and then asked about her mother's illness. Knowing that there was nothing serious, she felt relieved.Because I asked Zhang Youshi to take a look at the painting, Lai Yier suddenly thought of a very important thing, frowned and said: "I think there is going to be trouble again in this mansion. Last night, the master and his wife ran into the master's room to ask the teacher for his crimes. There was a lot of noise. It's not too late, I guess Doctor Zhang will leave now."

What Lai Yi'er was thinking in her heart was that the chaos in Feng's mansion was gone and she couldn't live for a long time, so where was her way out.When he entered the painting, he was surprised, and asked, "How is the girl?"

Lai Yier was waiting for an answer when the maidservant brought food boxes and placed them on the small table one by one.Lai Yier saw the sour plum at a glance, and asked Ruhua lightly, "Don't you have it?" Ruhua blushed with shame, and gently shoved him and said, "How do I know, maybe I have it." , maybe not... don't talk about this, and tell me what's wrong with the girl!"

I was still happy to come here, and decided to call someone to invite a doctor to have a look later, and I couldn't bear to call Ruhua anxious, so I recounted what happened last night, and finally said: "I don't know the details. , the master and wife are quite angry, but they didn't make it difficult for Miss Xichun, Doctor Zhang passed by when I left, don't worry if he's here."

Ru Hua's sad face remained undiminished, Lai Yi'er led her to the small table, pushed her to sit down, and sat opposite him, took a sip of porridge and said: "If you continue to do this, I won't tell you anything in the future It's gone." Ruhua glanced at him, picked up a piece of yam cake and swallowed it carefully.After a while, he said: "I'd better take care of them during the day. How are these two patients doing?"

Lai Yier took a bite of the vegetables, licked the bowl a few times, looked up and said with a smile: "You go, like a little daughter-in-law, I didn't forbid you to go. I'm going to Zhuangzi to do something during the day, you go and take care of it." That's fine too."

"You again..." Knowing what he meant by doing business, Ru Hua couldn't help worrying, but she didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that her visit would be unlucky, and she was also worried about Xi Chun, so she swallowed the words.

"Don't worry." Lai Yi'er put down the bowl and stood up, "It's not like this happened once or twice. If we don't do this, how will our property come about? We won't be able to be a house slave for a lifetime."

Ruhua didn't want to argue with him, she knew she couldn't change him, from the beginning when he robbed Xichun's inheritance, to the later Jia's decline, he took the opportunity to get a vote and switch to Feng Ziying's family, he has been planning for himself, or for this family plan.He has been doing it very steadily, and he only starts when he sees it.When doing these things, Lai Yier is very patient, like the kind of beast that knows how to hunt best, lurking day and night, and hitting with one hit.

"Go ahead and wait for your good news." Ru Hua smiled charmingly at Lai Yi'er.The sense of conflict in her heart was actually not that intense, and the most intense time had passed—except for Xichun.She also agrees with others, as long as the intention is safe.The poor are too poor, and the rich are too rich. What Lai Yier takes is just a drop in the bucket.This world is strictly hierarchical, if you don't use tricks and seize opportunities, people with humble backgrounds like her and Lai Yi'er may not be able to get rid of the poor and humble situation for the rest of their lives.
