Chapter 722: Li'er, Something Happened?!
cpa300_4(); He smiled and made a gesture: "Go and see, like it or not." ”
I held on to the fence of the stone bridge, walked down slowly, through the exquisite courtyard gate, I saw a path inside twists and turns, in the faint mist, you can see the three or five fine houses in the distance, it seems quiet and elegant, and all this qiē is looming in the bamboo forest.
The entire inner courtyard has been planted with bamboo.
The emerald green bamboo leaves are dyed moist by the mist, some of the leaf tips have condensed a little dew, clear and clear, I just look at it from a distance, it seems that I can smell the fragrance of the bamboo leaves, feel the warm breath in the air, that feeling makes me feel like I am in a dream, and the path under my feet slowly extends to the front, the winding path leads to the secluded place, what kind of scenery is there?
Or rather, who will be?
I was in a trance for a moment, looking at the end of the path, as if I could see a figure slowly appearing from this bamboo forest.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu's voice sounded in his ears-
"Don't you want to go in and have a look?"
“……”
The scenery in front of me slowly became clearer, and I looked at it motionlessly, with a sense of trance waking up from a dream. I turned my head to look at Pei Yuanxiu: "How come, like this?" ”
I still clearly remember that I saw the inner courtyard not long ago, although it is also elegant and quiet, but there are no bamboo forests, only some simple flowers and plants, how come there are so many bamboos in just a few days?
Pei Yuanxiu smiled softly: "When you were in Yangzhou, did you like that annex very much?" ”
I was stunned for a moment.
"I don't think you like anywhere, you just like those bamboo forests."
“……”
"So I asked people to quickly move some of them over in the past few days, and they were all cleaned up today."
“……”
"Like it? You're going to live here from now on. ”
"......" Somehow, my throat was a little choked, and I paused for a moment before I said softly, "Even if I like it, there is no need to do this." ”
"If you like it, I want to give it to you."
Looking at his gentle smile, I only felt that my chest was almost unbearable: "Childe, in fact, I-"
"Qingying," he interrupted me, still smiling, "I said, I'll give it to you, you just take it." ”
“……”
I looked at him, speechless.
He pulled his sleeves and walked in, the winding path is deep and secluded, the fine house is elegant, push the door and walk in, you can see the simple layout inside, a round table and four stools in the center of the room, on which are placed a set of teapots and teacups; Against the wall stood a mahogany cabinet, a dresser, a bronze mirror, on which was placed a simple dressing box, a few knick-knacks; There is a large bed in the inner room, and the milky white bed is embroidered with small flowers, simple and exquisite. The whole room is very simple, there are all that should be, and there are no more things that should not be, but at the other end of the room, there is a bookshelf, a bookcase, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it.
In addition to the fragrance of bamboo leaves outside, the room is also filled with a faint fragrance of pen and ink.
I walked over slowly, my slender fingertips caressing the smooth edge of the table, caressing the spine of the bookshelves one by one, and suddenly I seemed to have returned to the time when I was still in the inner pavilion, thinking that if I kept a peace, I could have tomorrow.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sour, and my eyes were a little hot.
Although I didn't say anything, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to feel something, and walked up to me and looked down at me: "What's wrong?" ”
I didn't want him to see me like this, so I hurriedly lowered my head: "It's okay." ”
He didn't speak, but his eyes didn't relax for a moment, and I could only keep my head down, and I don't know how long it took to calm myself down. He didn't say anything more, but kept following me, his gentle gaze pressed against me, as if I could feel the warmth of that gaze from the cool evening air. In such a room, I was more and more afraid to meet his gaze, so I could only turn my head and see the wide open window in front of the desk, and the green bamboo leaves outside the window outlined a beautiful and quiet picture.
I was in a trance.
At this time, I heard Pei Yuanxiu beside me and asked me softly, "Do you like it?" ”
"......" I was silent for a moment with those emerald greens in my eyes, and then nodded softly......
From that night on, I stayed in this house in the inner courtyard.
The mattress is also dry and soft, lying on it is like being in a cloud pile, and you can't climb out if you fall into it, but I don't know why, in such a comfortable place, I can't sleep more and more, and I have to toss and turn in bed every night, until dawn, I can barely close my eyes and sleep for a while.
This night was the same again, and the drum had been beaten a few times, but I still had my eyes wide open and I didn't feel sleepy, and I didn't know when, and it would be dawn in a while, so I simply got up and put on a coat, pushed the door and walked out.
Once spring arrives, the south warms up quickly, but the night is still cool, I only put on a piece of clothing, push the door out, and immediately a cool breeze hits, and I feel a little coolness on my face.
When I reached out and touched it, my fingertips immediately got wet.
It is the night dew sprinkled in the bamboo forest, drifting with the wind, I pulled my clothes and walked over slowly, the bamboo forest is very quiet, and the clear light of a full moon on the horizon will decorate this place quietly and elegantly.
It's a beautiful place.
But--Maybe Pei Yuanxiu won't know that I once lived in a residence that was a hundred times more beautiful than here, and I also lived a more luxurious and erosive life than now, and my past was very poor, but it was also extremely rich.
I can't say that I am tired of that kind of life, but I have already tasted it, and there is nothing special about it.
He didn't know that I didn't like this abode, nor did I like this tall bamboo, I was just-I can't forget, the man in the bamboo forest.
But he, let me live in this manor, just kept me thinking, kept remembering-
It is also so quiet, the air is filled with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and the coolness of night dew......
――!
I suddenly stretched out my hand to hold a thick bamboo, shook it hard, and I heard a bang, and the dew on the bamboo leaves suddenly spilled down, pouring like rain, drenching my face, and also wetting the coat on my body, and suddenly a chill hit, making my whole body shiver.
I gritted my teeth and gripped the bamboo hard.
It turns out that this is the feeling......
It turned out that the torment in my heart really couldn't be calmed, even if I poured cold water on myself like this, there was no way.
What am I going to do?
What am I going to do......?
At this moment, there was a sudden noise behind him, saying that it was noisy, but it was not too loud, but it was a little surprising in such a quiet night. I subconsciously turned my head, and was blocked by the bamboo forest and the high wall, and I could only faintly see the fire in the outer courtyard lit up, as if someone had entered the courtyard and caused some accident.
It's so late, what's the matter?
I gathered my clothes and walked out cautiously, and after walking a few steps, a maid who was keeping vigil came over, and when she saw me like this, she immediately said, "Mrs. Qingying, how can you come out just by wearing this, you will catch a cold." ”
"It's fine." I asked, "What's going on out there?" ”
"Looks like someone came back to his life."
"Resurrection?"
When I heard this, my brows frowned slightly: "If it's just a reinstatement, why is it so noisy?" ”
While thinking, I subconsciously walked out, and the maid was so frightened that she hurriedly helped me: "Mrs. Qingying, you will catch a cold if you go out like this." Wait for the slave to bring you clothes. ”
I nodded, stood at the courtyard gate and did not move, the maid was also very quick, and soon brought me clothes, I barely dressed and tidied up, and she helped me out, who knew that just out of the door, I saw a figure hurrying across the arch bridge.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be Pei Yuanxiu.
He also held a lantern in his hand, although with his identity, he should be accompanied everywhere he went, but every time he came to see me in the inner courtyard, he was always alone, and this time was no exception, as soon as he saw us come out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Qingying, why haven't you slept?" ”
"I heard a noise outside, so I came out to take a look. What's wrong? ”
"Uh......"
I saw that he was like this, obviously he was going to come to the inner courtyard to find me, but when I asked, he hesitated, and I felt more and more that something was wrong, especially in the courtyard behind him, the lights were bright, and it seemed that many people were getting up and preparing for something. My heart was faintly clouded, and I hurriedly looked at him: "What's wrong?" You sue me. ”
His face was also a little gloomy, he didn't speak immediately, but waved his hand at the maid beside me, and the maid immediately leaned over and retreated, Pei Yuanxiu came over and took my hand, and carefully took me back to the house. I was led by him and sat on the edge of the bed, although the room was warm, but at this time I couldn't warm up, but my whole body was shaking unconsciously, and my teeth were constantly cracking.
He put the lantern aside, lit the candlestick on the table, and then slowly walked up to me and squatted down: "Qingying." ”
"What's going on?"
"You promise me, no matter what happens, don't get excited."
"What's the matter?"
"Whatever it is," he looked up into my eyes, "I can handle it, and I can handle it!" ”
His gaze has always been warm, but there is also the same firmness in the warmth. My long, cold fingertips were held in the palm of his hand, and I could only feel a little warmth at this time, and it was that temperature that calmed me down a little.
I said softly, "Okay, I promise you." You said. ”
He took a deep breath and said, "On the way back, there was an accident. ”
“……!”
Admittedly, from the moment he appeared, I had such a hunch.
But when it really came out of his mouth, I still felt like I was about to get dizzy, and my eyes were black.
Li'er, there was an accident?!
I've been waiting for my daughter, I've been waiting for so many years, I've been waiting for so many days, and I've been counting the days of her coming back every day, but I've been waiting for the news of her accident!
I only felt that my heartbeat was about to stop, and the only feeling was that my hand was being held hard, and I tried my best to calm myself down, but when I spoke, my voice was still unexpectedly fragmented: "She, is she okay?" ”
