CHAPTER XIX
The days are long, the days are long, and the days are long, and the life is long and slow. Summer passed, autumn turned the page, and when winter was coming to an end, Xin Ziling finally cleaned up her mood. She had thought about it a lot in the past few days, and she felt that she had figured out a lot of things.
It is normal to watch the flowers bloom and fail outside the door, and it is also normal to think about people coming and going. She also felt that what he got from her was also from him, and that their relationship could really be described as fair if it was a transaction.
But she forgot that it was emotion, and now she insisted on telling herself that there was nothing wrong with him, and she counted all the experiences of the two of them, and then told herself that she was actually the one who took advantage of it, and it was not a loss. At that time, he said that he loved her, and she really loved him, but their fate came to an end.
Although this fate was a little short, and the end was a little hasty and sad, so that she never wanted to taste this love again for the rest of her life, she said to herself that as long as she stopped thinking about him, her life was not as miserable as she thought.
Thinking about these things very simply, although she deliberately tried to twist her meaning and repeatedly admonish herself, it was difficult to do. Chi Qianxi was like a worm that got into her brain, and the more she didn't think about him, the more he drilled into her head.
Those sweet moments, those pictures of deep affection will be reproduced in her mind one by one, over and over again. Xin Ziling felt that she had to find something to do, and if she used things to fill her mind, she wouldn't have the heart to think about it anymore. So when Mu Dinghua asked her if there was anything she wanted to do next, she said that she wanted to go to Yaoxuqiu and find her grandmother, whom she had never met.
"Do you know who your grandmother is?" Mu Dinghua doubted. He knew that she was in a bad mood, and that he had often been alone in the house for so long, and he would often come to see her when she was thinking about what would happen, but every time she came, she looked sluggish, and he couldn't do anything to calm her emotions.
At this time, she has to accept it herself and then come out before this matter can really end, and she can't listen to what others say at all. Lian Yi had been babbling in her ear for a long time, but she didn't even lift her eyelids, so anxious that Lian Yi's feet jumped.
But he didn't know when she would be able to come out on her own, it depended on how deep her intentions were for him, but how shallow she was, after all, she now had Chi Qianxi's child in her womb. At the end of the day, he is not sure what to do with this unformed fetus.
Today, when he heard that she was going to find her grandmother, it was a serious matter, and he agreed very much, in fact, if Xin Ziling didn't make this request, he would also find a way to find something for her to do to distract her.
She sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard with him, lifted the teapot warm in hot water and refilled it for him: "Isn't it not big there, I'll just ask and know." ”
"I think you can learn from me first. Mu Dinghua took the white jade teacup she handed over and took a small sip, which was sweet and flavorful, and had a long aftertaste: "Good tea." ”
"If you like it later, I'll let Ruan Yu pack some and bring it with you, and let someone brew it for you at any time if you want to drink it." This tea, Lian Yi didn't know where to go outside to buy it back to Ruan Yu, but he made a mistake, and Ruan Yu handed it over to me. She smiled, and the winter sun shone on her pale face with a sickly state of a serious illness. After a pause, she asked, "You mean, you know my grandmother?"
"It's not just about knowing the person, it's about knowing the person well. Your grandmother is the former Fire Phoenix Lady Xin Zihuanting. Mu Dinghua thought back that the Fire Phoenix clan used to be infinitely beautiful, but now only a few people in the clan are crowded in that square inch. If it weren't for the Red Dragon Clan's vigorous protection behind them, I'm afraid they would have disappeared from this world long ago.
Xin Ziling asked in disbelief, "Who are you talking about?" She had always thought that they were ordinary people, ordinary people, but she had just heard Mu Dinghua say that her grandmother was the monarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan who was destroyed by her father, and she was the former overlord of the East.
"Xin Zihuanting, you can actually think that your mother is from the Fire Phoenix Clan, and her 'Xin' surname is originally the surname of the patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Mu Dinghua stopped talking, she was really the same as before, and there were some places that remained the same. There are many things that she will find clues as long as she thinks about them, but she never thinks much about what she doesn't want to think.
She was stunned, and finally understood her mother's deep sorrow and forbearance. But she didn't understand, if the two clans had such a deep hatred and hatred, why would her mother marry her father? Her mother would marry her father under such pressure, it must be because she loved her father with all her heart, if there was such a sincere relationship between the two, then why did her father use his own daughter to sacrifice the phoenix spirit bead?
Could it be that from that time on, was it true that her father had planned something from the beginning, as she thought? Things in the world are so unpredictable, and the things that I wanted to let go of and never talk about anymore have now been reawakened by a sentence.
In the end, what should be faced must always be faced, and what cannot be escaped is fate. Fate said that if you want to go this way, you won't be able to go the other way, for example, if she wants to untie a knot in Gao Qi, she misses the best time to go back.
And at this moment, he listened to his family's words and decided to cut off contact with her. Maybe when I look back, I find that there is a stunner waiting for him, more gentle and more intimate. So a chance will change everything, and everything will push other things to the path it is bound to take. This is fate.
And now she wants to go back to Yaoxuqiu first according to the original decision, and then talk about other things, she thought that she was just a descendant of an ordinary family, but she didn't expect that it was a family of the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, her mother, as a princess of a clan, threw herself into the arms of the enemy monarch, and was still an enemy who slaughtered her entire clan, destroyed her, and robbed her of the entire east, and trampled on her homeland with all the warm memories.
Now, she was going back to face her mother's debt to her homeland, which scared her a little. What if it hadn't been her mother's thoughts, and her grandmother wouldn't have forgiven all this......?
"How? Do you still want to go back?" Mu Dinghua smiled slightly: "If you don't want to go back...... You can live as long as you want in the perched woods. ”
You can live as long as you want, but it's not her home in the end. No matter how long she stays, she is just a guest, and staying for a long time can only make others laugh. She knows this, as the daughter of Lan Mutian, although she and her mother were not recognized on the surface of the Qing family, but in the end, there is this fact, but what kind of life did she live with her mother.
If she lived in someone else's clan for a long time as a guest in the future, wouldn't it just add to the joke? She smiled slightly, it was really worse than a day, but it was not that there was no place to go at all, she could go back to the small courtyard and go to Uncle Huzi's.
Thinking about it, she really has no conscience, and she hasn't gone back to see her relatives who hurt her when she was a child for so long. She really deserves to fight, and only when she has nowhere else to go does she think of Uncle Beard, who has always been kind to her, to go back.
"I want to go back, my mother wants me to go back to see my grandmother, she must want to go back by herself, but she knows that she will never be able to get her grandmother's forgiveness. I want to go back and fulfill this wish for her. Xin Ziling reached out again to warm the tea boiled in the water, and was gently pulled by Mu Dinghua.
She looked up at him, "It's okay, I always have to go back." ”
"I said you can stay as long as you want...... It's my heart. ”
She looked at Mu Dinghua's eyes, which were so gentle. When had she ever seen him look like that? It seemed like a long, long time. "I know," there was some water in her eyes: "I can't repay the kindness of Your Excellency to me, if I want to be a cow and a horse in the future, if I can't repay it in this life, I will continue to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay this great kindness." ”
"I don't want you to be a cow or a horse......" He was speechless for a while, and he stopped talking without scruples.
"Of course you won't, but that's what I thought. I have always thought that you are the best person in the world, and that you have not only been very kind to me for so long, but also that you deserve to be repaid by me as a cow and a horse. Xin Ziling put the teapot down and sat back. "I want to leave tomorrow, I wanted to go to the Venerable to say goodbye, and it happened that the Venerable came. ”
He withdrew his hand and tugged it tightly under the table, and said softly, "Tomorrow, I will send you back." ”
"I'm going to bother you again, I don't think it would take me to find it myself. She laughed self-deprecatingly, how could this natural flaw be corrected.
"Don't bother, I'll take you back to find Wan Tingjun sooner. She has been in hiding from the world for a long time, and it is not easy to find her. Although it is a place with a big palm, if she wants to avoid it, with her ability, she can completely avoid it. He looked up to see the winter sun spilling through the thick clouds, condensing the frost on the flowers and plants in the courtyard into droplets.
It never snowed during the nine days of winter, but it was still very dry and cold, and the flowers and plants were often frosty. Today's weather is different, and the sun is exceptionally good. The sun-soaked morning frost overwhelmed the flowers and leaves, and the water on the leaves fell drop by drop, and there were many small puddles on the mud that shone coldly.
Xin Ziling watched him step on a puddle of wet soil and walk out of the courtyard gate, leaving his deep footprints on the mud ground, and the water gathered into it to form a new big puddle. If there was no Mu Dinghua in this world, maybe there would be no her now. She followed his footsteps for most of the nine days, and in the end he was still the best man, and she was no longer the little girl who only wanted to see him.
This is the way things happen in the world, time passes, and too many things are lost at any time, either disappearing or changing too much. She looked at the footprints on the ground that disappeared outside the door step by step towards the courtyard, tears sliding silently, tears were moist and hot, telling the story of the passing of winter and the coming of spring.
