Chapter Seventy-Three: Breaking the Cocoon
Wei Xue'an hasn't seen Lin Zhixuan for three years, and the last time was the first year that Lin Penghai was transferred to Jeju Mansion, Lin Penghai took Mrs. Wang's family to Jeju Mansion for the New Year, and the two met.
Wei Xue'an asked about Lin Zhixuan, but Mrs. Wang said: "That girl is also pitiful, yesterday there was water in the house, and she was drenched in rain and cold, which is a bad time." Before you came, you were still moving furniture for her, and you had to repaint the smoked house, but now she has temporarily moved to Hualangju to stay for two days. ”
Wei Xue'an was very worried when he heard this, and even the Jiang family had to visit.
Mrs. Wang nodded and accompanied them, but fortunately, when Wei Xue'an came, Mrs. Wang was afraid that they would come to visit, so she had already let Lin Ruoxuan's house be carefully arranged, so as not to make people look shabby, after all, Wei Xue'an and the Jiang family were both relatives of the emperor and grew up in a small pile of wealth.
Chatting about decorating Lin Ruoxuan's place, Wei Xue'an and Jiang Shi still said when they came: "It's too simple, but fortunately, I only live for a few days." ”
Chun Tao, Qiu Ju, Dong Mei and Lin Ruoxuan were all advised by Mrs. Wang in advance, seeing Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu, Jiang's, Chen's, Lin Yaxuan, Wei Xue'an and a group of maids came, they quickly sat down and served tea to everyone, Lin Zhixuan saw Wei Xue'an, her eyes were full of joy, but there were many helpless people, so she could only socialize with them first, and talked for a long time, seeing that Lin Zhixuan was tired, the group let the good students rest and leave in a hug, Wei Xue'an was reluctant, and asked Mrs. Wang about Lin Zhixuan's condition, but Mrs. Wang said: " It's all heart disease, but I don't know what's wrong with that girl. ”
Wei Xue'an said: "My aunt knows my body, and I have been a doctor for a long time, so it is better to let me talk to my sister, maybe I can solve her." ”
Mrs. Wang also nodded when she heard this: "It's okay, you grew up together since childhood, and now it's rare to see each other, you should let Ah Zhi talk to you, but she is not good now, I'm afraid it's rude." ”
Wei Xue'an said: "Where my aunt said, I bothered me. ”
Mrs. Wang ordered the purple kite to send Wei Xue'an. When Lin Zhixuan saw Wei Xue'an again, she couldn't help but burst into tears, the two of them sent the maid and the mother-in-law, and it was rare to say a heartfelt word for a while.
Wei Xue'an saw Lin Zhixuan's appearance. also shed tears: "Look at your pale and haggard appearance now, more unbearable than me, you often laugh at my weak body, and linger on the sickbed at every turn." Now that I finally came to Hangzhou, you don't go to see me, but ask me to come and see you. ”
Lin Zhixuan hurriedly laughed: "It's me who is wrong, but I really didn't know that you came to Hangzhou." ”
Wei Xue'an said strangely: "We have been in Hangzhou for half a month, and when we first came, we met my aunt in the temple, didn't my aunt tell you?"
Lin Zhixuan said: "My mother didn't tell me at all, I thought I was still sick at that time, and I couldn't go if I knew it." It's you, since you've been here for half a month, why did you come to see me? ”
Wei Xue'an said helplessly: "It's not that you don't know my bones. Although the cars and boats on the road are very slow, but when I came, I still fell ill, and it was only good after cultivating for half a month, so I was in a hurry to see you, and I was like this for you. ”
Lin Zhixuan was embarrassed, and then asked, "What happened to my sister when she came to Hangzhou?"
Boudoir women like them are all out of the door, unless there is a big change in the family, or a big happy event, otherwise they can't go out.
Wei Xue'an smiled faintly. Lin Zhixuan couldn't tell whether Wei Xue'an was happy or desolate when she smiled: "I'm here to play in Hangzhou." ”
"Play?" Lin Zhixuan looked at her in a daze, as if she didn't understand the meaning of this word.
The smile on Wei Xue'an's face remained unchanged, but her eyes staring at Lin Zhixuan became softer and softer: "Yes, you don't know it." The doctor and the Taoist priest all said that I would not live to be eighteen years old, and now I am sixteen, and I have not been lying in bed for a few years. I just listened to my brothers come back from the north and south to tell me about the outside things since I was a child, and my heart longed for it, so I went to ask my father. ”
Lin Zhixuan looked at her in disbelief: "Aunt and uncle-in-law actually agreed?"
Xue An smiled indifferently: "You know that our family is also a side branch of the royal family. Although it has been passed down for several generations, it is only hereditary, but it is also a relative of the emperor, and there is the emperor's grace and shade for generations, and my father has outstanding military achievements, but he retreated bravely back then, and my two elder brothers are no longer allowed to work their fame. When my father was young, he also traveled south and north like my two elder brothers, and he had some chivalrous temperament, and my mother's three sons, I was the only daughter who worried her, and naturally I was like you holding it in your hand and holding it in your mouth, and I agreed. ”
Lin Zhixuan also said: "Is this a blessing in disguise? Sister, you must know that you are also the first woman in the world." "Lin Zhixuan has been a human being for two lives, but she has never stepped out of the door of the mansion within this framework.
Wei Xue'an looked at the envy in Lin Zhixuan's eyes, but said with a smile: "I'm not like you, I drag this body and bones, and I can't get married.
But the more I think about it, the worse my body bones become, lying still all day long, only drowsy during the day, and palpitating and insomnia at night, often unable to sleep at night, for fear that I will just fall asleep.
Later, life and death went back and forth a lot, and my heart gradually calmed down. ”
Lin Zhixuan listened to Xue An quietly, only feeling that every word was fine, as if she was responding to something in her heart, and she was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak.
I only listened to Xue An say slowly: "I was seriously ill again a year ago, and I almost went, but I figured it out in my heart, instead of being anxious all day long, it is better to treat myself as a dead person, I can open my eyes and wake up again every day, and I will treat this day as God's reward for me, I can play, I can eat, I can talk, I can laugh, I can laugh, so I think about it, and the disease is gradually getting better." My heart has also brightened up a lot, and I think that instead of being so complacent, I just take medicine, eat, and sleep all day long, and the cycle repeats itself, which is so boring. Since I am different from ordinary people, why bother not to be different anymore, and to be more out of the ordinary, I have this idea.
It happened to be spring, the second brother was going to Suzhou to visit a reclusive Magi, I followed out, although I was tired along the way, but my brother took me to see many famous places, looking at the world and the world, but I felt that these small illnesses and small pains were not worth mentioning. What about life and death, I only think that I can live a long life, and I make plans without hurry, and I feel that the days of waiting for death are not so difficult, after all, who in the world is not waiting for death? What is the difference between me and ordinary people?"
Lin Zhixuan listened to her heart swaying.
Xue An only recalled: "My brother and I were on the road, and we were once stuck on the mountain in heavy snow, and the horse of a carriage carrying luggage slipped and fell off the cliff with one of the housekeepers in the car, and there were no bones left. I have seen the housekeeper, it is with my brother to go south and north out many times, hearty, talking and laughing, the day before was still laughing and talking to us about the local folk customs, the day after the long death, I grieved in my heart, but also realized, the housekeeper is only twenty-seven years old, think that he has no one to tell him in his life, he is only twenty-seven years old, if he says, I am afraid that he will only be restless for a lifetime, can not live such a chic and happy life.
Life and death are predestined, but I don't believe that the greedy people who can only talk nonsense and deceive ignorance can see through the destiny of heaven, everything is justified in life, but death is impermanent, I want to live to show them, whether I really can't live past the age of eighteen.
