In the water town south of the Yangtze River, even the air floats with the smell of water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bowen and I have known each other for a long time.

At that time, the Guo family's ancestral house was 100 acres in circumference, and my house was in the depths of the alley of one of their small back doors.

Mr. Guo respected his father's writing, so he invited his father to write a blog, and we got to know each other.

When he can sneak out, we often play together. I always pouted and coquettish: Brother Wen, Brother Wen... He touched my hair, doting and conniving, without the young master's frame at all... He helped me scold the children who bullied me, and accompanied me to recite the poems that my father commanded... It looks like an older brother.

But that was only when I was ignorant, and when I grew up, I stopped showing off to others how good my brother was to me, because that would make people laugh.

At that time, the tall old lady always smiled and said, "Ah, look at Yu'er's many signs, marry us Bowen when she grows up." ”

Whenever this happens, the people around me always laugh.

Who doesn't know that the Guo family in Jiangnan has a prominent family background, and my Zheng family has nothing but a pile of waste paper used by my father to teach and a medicine jar that my mother never leaves. What is such a thing that is not a joke?

Fortunately, I was not unhappy, I smiled slightly, bowed, and said "Grandma Wanfu". Then he hurried away with the herbs.

But I met a blog post at the door. I bent my knees and said, "Young Master." The sneer between his eyebrows that he didn't have time to put away was covered with lowered eyes.

After walking a few steps, a voice came from behind him that prophesied and stopped: "Hanyu ......"

I paused and didn't look back.

When I got home, before I entered the house, I heard my mother's cough: "Cough... Pity our jade... Cough... Cough... I'm in my teens... Still... And for my indisputable illness... Be in the spotlight... Soon... It's just about to happen... I don't know whose son..."

Dad patted his mother on the back and comforted him: "Xiuzhen, don't be sad, if the woman doesn't show up, it's all passed down from her ancestors, why can't this woman go out, besides, our Yu'er is humble and reasonable, and she looks smart, I'm afraid that everyone who has a son around is worried about it." Look at that blog post, he has been kind to us Yu'er since he was a child, and he may be accepted as a second room in the future, and that Yu'er will be considered to have a good ...... for the rest of her life."

The mother sighed with a little relief.

The sneering faces of the crowd came to my mind, and I suppressed the discomfort in my heart and stepped into the room.

The autumn of this year was particularly bleak, and the willows at the mouth of the alley rustled. I sighed, put down the book in my hand, and added a thin quilt to my sleeping mother.

Recently, my mother's body has become weaker and weaker, and her complexion has become more and more yellow, and her withered wrist is like a bone wrapped in fallen leaves.

I was about to get up when a voice suddenly came from behind me: Hanyu.

I paused, straightened up, the corners of my mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Young Master."

The person who came was Bowen, he was dressed in elegant blue and white, and the fine material lined with jet-black hair and handsome face made the man in front of him more and more warm as jade.

Coupled with a prominent family background, I don't know how many women in the town have not been out of the dream of **. I sighed silently in my heart.

He didn't speak, he just looked at me, there was some inquiry in his eyes, some ...... Sad?

I made up my mind, smiled, turned around and poured a cup of tea and put it on the small homemade mahogany table, and said, "Take a sip of tea?" ”

He didn't move, but stood still. After a long time, he exhaled: "Didn't Mr. tell you?"

"Huh?" I pretended I didn't know.

He walked over, sat down, and looked at me stunned, and I saw struggle and helplessness in his eyes.

"I ...... I'm going to get married, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, my father ......"

Even though he already knew, Kexin contracted nervously.

He paused, looking at me inquiringly.

I bowed my head, poured myself a cup of tea, and said nothing.

He went on to say, "You know, I ......."

I hurriedly pushed the teacup towards him and laughed, "Drink, or it will be cold." ”

He stopped talking, and the table he was touching suddenly trembled, "I'm not here for tea..."

I couldn't control my emotions, held the teacup on the table, and squeezed out a sentence: "The young master is here, the old lady should be angry again." Then she looked up at him with a smile.

He suddenly grabbed my hand, and his eyes burst with pain and anger.

The turbulent emotions in his eyes burned me, and I panicked and hurriedly withdrew my hand.

He lowered his voice and yelled at me: "Yu'er, don't you understand, is it true that my feelings were all wrong, you don't care?!"

I have never seen such a blog post, he always looks gentle as jade in front of people: humble and reasonable, well-behaved, and good at talking. Everyone who has seen it is full of praise for this famous only son of the Guo family.

In front of me, he used to be a patron saint-like existence, but since when has it become a place that I can only look up to, and since when has Brother Bowen been replaced by the young master from time to time?

"Hanyu, Hanyu......" I came back to my senses, and Bowen looked at me anxiously. I smiled, then fell silent.

"I'm asking you a question, what were you thinking?"

Seeing that I didn't answer, he hurriedly said, "You don't know...... What did I mean by sending you that poem? You were smiling so happily? I ......."

But what's the point of saying all this at this time?

I looked down at the beautiful tea, and the mist almost moistened my eyes.

I think my silence completely infuriated Bowen, and he hurriedly stood up and walked up to me and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

We can't run away anymore, we're not all the way, sooner or later, right? I said to myself silently in my heart.

So, I raised my head and looked at him with a smile: "Yes, I was young at that time, and I didn't understand the meaning, but I could show off to Brother Xiaohu again because of the words written by the young master, so I was very happy." Now that I have grown up and understood, I guess the young master is just very bored and writes casually to coax me to play, it doesn't matter, I won't be serious. I finished in one breath and looked at him with a smile.

I should be thankful for the second I sat with my back lit, so he only saw my obvious smile, but not the sparkling scales in my eyes.

He looked at me fixedly, his lips trembling, the muscles on his face twitching faintly, and there was some unknown fluid in his big eyes, rolling and trying to escape...... My heart hurt more and more.

Hanyu, you have to hold back, you should fulfill him. So I straightened up and smiled brighter and brighter.

He staggered back two steps: "What you said, is it true?"

"Yes. I nodded, "Of course it's true." ”

He was silent for a long time, and finally smiled self-deprecatingly, "You don't like Bai Xiaohu?"

I paused and blinked, "At first, I didn't like it, because he always bullied me... But," I paused, as if laughing happily, "However, since the young master played with me and gave me some calligraphy and paintings, Brother Xiaohu has treated me much better, and I think I want to thank you!"

"Huh...... So, you're happy with me...... Just because he will...... Impressed with you?"

I was about to speak, when suddenly the firewood at the gate of the courtyard "squeaked".

"Xiaoyu, today Mrs. gave me a bracelet, which is said to be silver, I..." Then, he said in a sneer, young master.

I was stunned for a moment, then walked over and took the bracelet in his hand with a smile, "I'll see if it looks good..."

"You're not saying you don't like silver bracelets...", some hoarse voices came from behind him.

I was stunned and whispered, "This is a ...... sent by Xiaohu."

I bowed my head, looking very shy. The man behind him still stood unwillingly.

I simply stretched out my hand: "Brother Xiaohu, help me put it on." ”

Xiaohu was flattered and took the bracelet.

With a suppressed gasp, the man behind him fled and left the hut. Okay, I said in my heart.

Gently turning away from Xiaohu's attempt to grab my hand, he said lightly, "I don't want it anymore." ”

"Huh?" Xiaohu didn't react for a moment.

I was in a bad mood and walked straight to the door, ignoring it.

"Hanyu, do you really like the young master?" I was silent, waiting for his sarcasm.

Sure enough, he followed and continued: "How can it be between you and him? The young master and Miss Jiang are a natural pair, I went to send the account book to the young master that day, and the young master and Miss Jiang enjoyed the flowers in the garden, and they loved each other very much." That Miss Jiang was born ashamed, she is omnipotent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is the home of a giant, what do you compare with others?"

Jiang Liu, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, is the pearl of Jiang Fu, a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan.

When it comes to Jiangnan and wealthy families, there are two surnames that cannot be ignored.

One is the Jiang family. The ancestors of the Jiang family have been in business for generations, and they are a well-known family in Jiangnan. In the generation of Jiang Fu, the father of Jiang Liu, it has reached an unprecedented heyday. It is said that the Jiang family has a strong background in recent years, and the tribute salt in the court and the middle is all in the hands of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has monopolized the entire Jiangnan salt market by virtue of the power accumulated by their ancestors.

The second is Guo's. The first silk merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, by virtue of the reputation of Suzhou embroidery and the unique geographical environment of the south of the Yangtze River, the silk was sold all over the Central Plains. The Guo family's silk and satin from the court officials to the women and children in the countryside are all flocking to it. This has brought countless wealth to the Guo family.

Isn't the marriage of the two richest and most powerful families in Jiangnan just a matter of course?

What's more, Jiang Liu and Bowen are both well-known beauties in Jiangnan.

Bowen was famous for his talents, and when he was very young, some people sought after his calligraphy and paintings that occasionally appeared in the world, and a self-made "little flute song" made him a household name.

Jiang Liu is popular all over the south of the Yangtze River because of the all-encompassing and beautiful beauty of the legendary qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The beauty of the talent is really a match made in heaven...... So, have I been able to fight? Do I want to fight again?

"Hanyu", Xiaohu shook me, "You die!"

I looked up at the flying leaves, smiled slightly, and said, "No, I don't like him."

The white around the corner finally disappeared.

I took a soft breath, turned to Xiaohu and smiled: "Brother Xiaohu, I want to sleep for a while." ”

He had been looking at me with suspicion on his face, but when he saw me smile at him, he was stunned at first, and then he turned his face away, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and his face was a little red. He said a word, then you have a good rest. Then he walked out with some hesitation.

I moved to the window and stared out blankly, the sound of falling leaves in the sky...... For some reason, the laryngeal stem panicked, and his eyes soured.

I looked up and said to myself, "Autumn is really a little sad......

"…… Yu'er ...... "Behind her, there was a sudden hoarse voice from her mother.

I hurriedly turned around, and then I remembered that we must have woken her up by talking just now, and I blamed myself for helping my mother who was struggling to sit up. Only then did I find that my mother's face was wet with tears.

I was stunned: "Mother?"

"Yu'er, why are you doing this, my mother knows that you like the young master?"

I bit my lip and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that I didn't answer, my mother said, "My father and mother have no ability, and I can't give you a rich family background, but, cough ...... You and Bowen are in love, and he accepted you as a concubine in two years, cough ...... I won't treat you badly, and my father and mother will rest assured, cough ...... What do you think?"

I listened to my mother's words and looked at her gray sideburns, and tears finally couldn't help but fall.

"Yes, mother, I like Brother Bowen. But...... But everyone else says I'm ...... People say that I want to enter the house because I have a bit of talent...... They said I was greedy for the Guo family's money...... I know...... If I marry Bowen, my mother will be able to take better medicine, see better Langzhong, wear better clothes, live in a better house, and my father will not have to go out early and return late to calligraphy and painting for the sake of medicine...... But I still don't want to marry him, I don't want to like him so humbly, I don't want our relationship to add other impurities, I don't want others to look down on me, I'm afraid he will look down on me...... I'm sorry, mother," I grabbed her hand tightly, "I'm sorry, mother, I can marry someone else, go to someone else as a concubine, I can also support you and my father..."

My mother's face was covered with tears, she touched my face with trembling hands, choked up and said, "Silly child, how can you be sorry for me, it's my father and mother who are sorry for you, and can't give you a family background like Miss Jiang." Daddy doesn't look forward to what you can give us, Mom just wants you to be happy, if you don't want to marry, you won't marry, but you like Bowen, will you be happy if you don't be with your beloved?"

"Yes, mother, as long as I am with you and my father, I will be happy. "I saw that my mother didn't blame me, and hurriedly promised.

"Silly boy. "My mother held me in her arms, and my mother's arms were very warm and made me feel at ease.

But I just leaned in for a moment and sat up a little embarrassed: I was twelve, and some girls my age were married.

My mother smiled dotingly and scratched my nose. I was a little embarrassed and said, "Mother, I'll cook." The mother smiled and nodded.

I took a stool and walked out of the hut, the house was too narrow, and my father made a stove in the yard.

Although there is still some blockage in my heart, I have just vented it, and it is much better than just now. Actually, I'm still very happy. In this alley, because of poverty, there are stories of parents forcing their children to marry rich people as concubines every day, and there are even many people who sell their daughters, but my father and mother have always respected my feelings.

The mood is better, Zheng Hanyu, you are so happy, be happy.

I took a puff and looked up, and the smile appeared on my face again.

But the smile froze on his face: there was a man in front of him, and it was a strange man. He wore a bright red robe, the fabric was of the finest quality, the workmanship was fine, and he looked swaggering and domineering.

I looked all the way up my clothes, dark hair, fair and handsome face, thin lips, high nose, and a pair of big eyes were looking down at me without blinking, and there seemed to be some inquiry in my eyes, but I looked closely but my face was expressionless.

It's a strange handsome man.
