Chapter 23 (1)
Lian Yi took a sip of wine and told Xin Ziling the latest news word for word: "That's it, Lu Kun's old yellow deer actually took the initiative to retreat, and the king pointed him out a piece of land in the south to rebuild a small mansion for retirement." He sighed: "Your Excellency is merciful. ”
Xin Ziling was really surprised when she heard it, and she couldn't imagine that someone as arrogant and domineering as Lu Zihuan's father and daughter would hand over the military power so obediently, and she didn't know which trick Mu Dinghua used to make them so obedient.
Lian Yi took a sip of wine and thought, "There is one thing I think I still have to tell you." After speaking, he paused, as if he didn't know how to speak, raised his head and took another sip of wine.
Xin Ziling heard him say this strangely, and asked curiously: "If there is anything, you can say it, so if you want to say it or not, it is better not to start this." ”
Lian Yi glanced at her and sat up a little straighter: "I felt that I could talk to you about this matter because I heard you say that the marriage with the king was just a scene negotiated between the two of you." ”
He poured a cup of tea and replaced the wine in Xin Ziling's hand, and said in a more solemn tone: "But you are still the queen of the West and the mistress of the Mufu, you can listen to this matter, don't make any moves." After thinking about it, he scratched his head and said, "Forget it, whatever you want, I will listen to you." ”
Seeing Xin Ziling looking at him without saying a word, just staring at him so straightly, he sighed and said: "I heard, I just heard it, it was said that it was a red ......" He squinted at Xin Ziling and then said: "That person beat his wife to three ribs, and he was beaten several times for no reason, and he was about to be finished, and it is said that despite the persuasion of his family, he is now driving people out of Zongyue Mountain." Luckily...... It's not you ......"
Xin Ziling frowned and listened to Lian Yi's speech, shook his head and said, "No, I heard that you were talking about someone else, how could it be Chi Qianxi, this is obviously not like him at all." ”
After Lian Yi let go of the speech, he no longer had any scruples, holding the wine glass and saying, "I don't sound right, but maybe he is just that." ”
Xin Ziling looked at him: "Perverted, you said he is a pervert......" Her eyes were slightly empty, and she shook her head and said, "Impossible, he is not such a person." ”
"You know him. After Lian Yi finished speaking, he found that he was speechless, and slapped his mouth: "Haha...... That ......"
Xin Ziling said: "It's okay, why do you say that I don't understand, I'm glad you can do this for me." ”
Lian Yi nodded and shook his head: "You know everything about these aspects, and you understand them clearly, but some aspects are like a ...... A 300-year-old child. ”
Xin Ziling looked at him for a long time: "Which aspect? feelings? You are wrong, I know very clearly." ”
Lian Yi sighed: "It's just that it's too clear, but I can't understand it." Old...... I said, Mu Dinghua doesn't look at you right, you know, I'm a man, I look at Ruan Yu with that kind of eyes. ”
Xin Ziling's lips were slightly open, as if she couldn't react to such news, and after a while, she spoke again: "Impossible, he doesn't have deep feelings for me, and if he says to let go, he must let go." ”
Lian Yi said: "If you let go of it, it's not feelings, and if you let go of it, you have to do so many things for you, do you think he is idle and panicked?"
"He ......" Xin Ziling remembered the incident of returning to Yaoxuqiu a few days ago.
Her grandmother took her out into the new street and pointed to the rows of newly built houses to show her which trees had been planted and which flower beds had been newly added. The appearance that she had largely repaired before she left was gone, and the house was built in the style of a wooded house, simple and elegant, simple and unconventional.
Xin Zhihuanting said: "After you left, Mu Zun sent someone to repair, and I am very relieved that you married someone who loves you so much." ”
She nodded, and said in her heart that this long-term job was really worth it, and she wouldn't be willing to let her change to another job.
Xin Zhihuanting looked at her, her face was cold, but there was some ambiguity in her eyes, which was very rare. Closing her eyes, Xin Zhihuanting seemed to want to suppress everything, and only after a long time did she open her eyes to look at her again, at this time, even her face had some warmth: "Don't you say that I don't know, the more you don't say it, the more I understand that your mother's death is related to your father." But now that you are married, in the future, you just have to live well, and let the past really pass. ”
Two lines of tears flowed, Xin Zhihuanting's eyes were a little bright, and finally it was no longer an empty hole: "The fire phoenix must have a day of revitalization, wait for your uncle to come back, and when he comes back, let's revive the fire phoenix together." ”
Xin Ziling was a little dazed, and her mind was a little confused when she heard her grandmother say this about her future plans.
Xin Zhihuanting said: "Your husband said that he would help me get back to my homeland in the East. Xin Ziling was stunned, what Mu Dinghua did was indeed beyond her imagination, and it was not something she would expect. The old lady continued: "He said that you made this request to him, and I am glad that you are willing to do it for everyone. ”
Xin Ziling was speechless for a while, she didn't know how to answer her grandmother's words, so she could only shake hands with her and look at her. The light in her grandmother's eyes didn't burn in her eyes, and she only felt that her heart was too heavy to bear.
Thinking about it now, Mu Dinghua can't be idle after doing so much, of course she is not stupid, she is just used to making excuses for herself. She opened her mouth to speak, her voice a little astringent: "He's used to it, used to having someone like me." ”
Then he was still idle, and he didn't see him used to Lu Zixuan. Lian Yi shook his head, and a sip of spicy wine into his throat made him frown slightly. Looking up at Xin Ziling's chaotic appearance: "Ziling, if you think about it carefully, I think Mu Dinghua is not bad, and I have nothing to say to you." You let him pass the past, and you can't live in the past forever. ”
Seeing Xin Ziling raise her hand, he thought she was going to hit him, and said, "Okay, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, you can do whatever you want." After shouting, it didn't do much, so he put down his hand and looked at Xin Ziling.
She still looked stupid, raised her hand to just refill a cup of tea for herself, and was holding the teacup and pecking at the moment. Lian Yi didn't say it anymore, so he drank the liquor in the cup without taking a sip, and by the way, he took a piece of roast meat and put it in his mouth.
It wasn't until the meal was eaten that she put down a cup of leftover tea, as if she had just heard what Lian Yi said to her, and nodded: "I'll try to think about it." ”
"Consider, still try to consider, hey......" Lian Yi drank the last sip of wine, and if he drank too much, he would naturally talk more: "If I were you, I would directly follow Mu Dinghua to live a good life." Such a handsome man, hey...... Don't talk about being handsome, Guan Jian is still very good to you, so good that I don't want you to take any credit, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to let go of that Chi Qianxi in your heart!"
Xin Ziling glanced at him, got up and left. Lian Yi threw a piece of gold leaf and gave the little vendor a few steps to follow: "Don't you like to listen to Ziling, you are not good at this, it was like this to Chi Qianxi at the beginning, and now it is like this to Mu Dinghua." Chi Qianxi shouldn't have done that no matter how much he was forced by the pressure of his family, but if he did, your business would be over. Of course, things don't last long, but you should still take advantage of the opportunity in front of you. ”
Seeing Xin Ziling walking forward and ignoring him, he made a summary in his own words: "Love is always clear to bystanders, and the authorities are confused." ”
Xin Ziling didn't squeak when she heard what he said, and only turned around and waited for him when she walked to the fork in the road: "How is it?
Lian Yi waved his hand: "It's just that I drank too much, but my brain is still sober." Ha ha...... Or I'll give it to you. ”
"No, go back quickly. I'll go on my own. Xin Ziling pushed him, and Lian Yi walked towards the direction of the barracks with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
She turned around and stepped on another path, and her thoughts wandered back to Mufu along the way. She often goes out to hang out, and comes back early and late, and everyone is used to it. When she walked into the house stupidly, she was suddenly afraid of colliding with Mu Dinghua in the house, and now it was a bit far-fetched to ask her to talk and laugh with him as before.
tiptoed open the door, but Mu Dinghua was not there. Relieved, she went into the room and turned out the candle behind the screen, and curled up on the bed to listen to the movement.
But after a while, Mu Dinghua came back and seemed to be approaching the screen. Her heart rose to her throat, but she paused as he paused and turned back to the low wooden table. Xin Ziling poked her head out of the brocade quilt and watched as he took a book and printed it on the screen, flickering with the candlelight.
She couldn't hide from the first day of junior high school, although she didn't get Mu Dinghua's confirmation, but she wasn't stupid enough to go and prove this to him, if it was really what Lian Yi said, what would she do? ”
Lian Yi is right, she should think about it, and think about whether she will live well as this lady in the future or let go of everything and leave again. She thought about it for a long time and decided to go to Chi Qianxi again, if those rumors were true, then she had mistaken this person and really let it go. If Chi Qianxi is not rumored, then she will leave quietly, which can be regarded as an end to the matter.
took a deep breath, and sure enough, she still didn't let go.
After thinking about what to do next, she turned her head to look at the shadow on the screen again, and thought to herself: how many people want to marry, that is the first person who touched her young mind. Fate is still there, perhaps, whether it is for Huofeng or to repay the favor, she should be sincere to him.
Who would want to hurt such a person?
The next day, she got up late. Mu Dinghua asked people not to disturb her, and if she slept, no one really disturbed her, and the whole yard was quiet. She took advantage of this time to write the words she had thought about last night in the letter, leaving a message for Mu Dinghua to wait for her to come back. Looking at the content of the letter, she suddenly felt familiar, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered that this was the time when she came to confide her heart to Mu Dinghua, and that time she also left such a letter, and it was not too long ago, but the mortal world felt that a long time had passed.
Walking out the door in a bright light, she took a deep breath and headed in the direction of Zongheng Mountain. It's much better for her to know her way now, and she won't get lost as easily as she did back then. At the beginning, her mother should have let her go out and walk more, walk and walk, and it would no longer be so easy to get lost like now.
A little far away from Mufu, she flew into the air, not only to rush forward to solve the doubts in her heart but also to rush back, she flew very fast, and rushed to the Changyang Palace of Zongheng Mountain at noon on the second day. The palace was glittering and magnificent, and as heavily guarded as ever. She spotted a spot and crouched until night fell, and she found the hidden wall over which she had jumped and jumped lightly.
Chi Qianxi's dormitory is not difficult to find, if she hadn't changed places, it would naturally be a place she could reach with a familiar car. Now she came and went softly and steadily, not easy to be noticed, and when she sneaked to Chi Qianxi's dormitory, it went as smoothly as expected. It's just that when she looks up, she reminds her of a trace of nostalgia, the red flower pot in the courtyard should have passed the flowering period, and there are still a few late-blooming flowers faintly trembling in the autumn color on the flower branches that cross the courtyard wall.
