Chapter 169
Huai Zhensi and Lin Shenzhou went back to visit the house, before that, she had always regarded him as a lonely old man who was difficult to get close to, but after that, every time she thought about it, there was a vague warmth in her heart, although it was only one side, but she also knew that he liked herself in his heart.
How could you have thought of ...... He was never seen again, but he was ......
Leaving such a letter, it looks like it has a lot to do with herself, but she doesn't know where this comes from?
Xiao Tang knew that he was in a good mood, so he took her into his arms and gently pressed her hair.
Huaizhen's face was pressed against Xiao Tang's chest, and the tears that flowed before he silently got into his clothes.
What Xiao Tang was thinking about at this moment was what Lin Shenzhou said on that day: "...... Now, I just want to do the one thing I wanted to do a long time ago, maybe selfish, maybe rebellious, but I have to do it, even if I throw this dry bone, or carry a thousand years of infamy, I don't hesitate to reads();. ”
Xiao Tang remembers it clearly, word for word. And at this moment, he vaguely understood what Lin Shenzhou meant by these words.
This letter is naturally Lin Shenzhou's last words before he died, since he can even calculate that Ling Jingshen will be safe and sound, then...... What else did he count? Does it include...... The prince was sinned?
Since this is the case, then Lin Shenzhou's death cannot but make people think deeply.
However, in the book he left, he also specifically mentioned Huaizhen, which made Xiao Tang a little puzzled and shocked.
Thinking carefully about the meaning between the lines, Lin Shenzhou ...... seems to understand the affection for Huaizhen in his heart.
Xiao Tang naturally understands that Lin Shenzhou's city is very deep, and his eyes are like electricity, if he says that he is aware of clues, there are some, but what is shocking is: when did Lin Shenzhou get a glimpse of his mind?
Xiao Tang thought to himself, at the beginning of his sincere business, it seemed that he was in the palace that day...... When he saw that in the dancing cranes, Guo Jianyi held her in his arms and protected her warmly, his heart ached and he couldn't speak.
But at that time, it was just a feeling of ignorance...... Later, because of the drug, I gradually became enlightened, and finally understood what I really wanted in my heart...... It was her.
Don't...... It was during that time?
Xiao Tang introspected: Since he understood that he had Huaizhen in his heart, he was trapped by love and was fascinated, and unconsciously he did a lot of foolish things, and it was difficult to say them one by one......
If it is said that Lin Shenzhou saw it, there is.
However, he thought about it in his heart, and he always felt that there was something important that he couldn't figure out, but he had to investigate it carefully, but he didn't know where it started.
In the study, only Huaizhen sobbed lowly, the candlelight swayed, and Xiao Tang saw the shadows of the two people reflected on the side of the bookshelf, as if they were throbbing gently.
Xiao Tang raised his hand, stroked it gently at Huaizhen's hair, and said: "Don't cry, the teacher just did what he wanted to do, and it has nothing to do with you, I showed you the original intention of this letter, and it is not to make you feel guilty." ”
Huaizhen stopped crying, then left his chest again, looked up at him, and asked, "Then what does this mean?"
Because I cried just now, my eyes were stained with tears, and it was even more thrilling, but I looked at Xiao Tang as if waiting for an answer, with long eyelashes like wings, shaking gently, still extremely uneasy.
Xiao Tang raised his hand and gently slid it over her cheek, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, only sighed: "It's just because the teacher is very close to you...... So I don't feel like I'm kind of to you, but he also sees that I have you in my heart, do you understand?"
Huaizhen thought for a while, and then understood, so he took a step back, shook his head, and said, "Uncle Lin is what you mean, you should be him...... When he is like you? He must also know that the emperor has given him a marriage. ”
Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Yes, I think too much, okay?" He was depressed and very unhappy because of Lin Shenzhou's incident, and at this moment he was just temporarily empathetic, and he just smiled reluctantly.
It's just that the beauty is on the side, and it is the person he can't ask for in his heart, and he must not be offended again.
However, at this moment, there is fire in his heart, although he is depressed and depressed, but it is easier to touch evil thoughts, and the smell of Huaizhen's body is fragrant, like sweet and sweet, when he doesn't dare to look at it again, he only said: "It's not too early, I ...... If there is nothing else, I will send you back to rest. ”
Huai Zhen also thought that it would be bad to stay for a long time, but who knew that Xiao Tang spoke first, Huai Zhen nodded, and said, "It's good for me to go back by myself, and Uncle Tang should rest in peace earlier." ”
Xiao Tang said: "It's okay. With that, he walked to the door first and waited for Huaizhen.
Seeing this, Huaizhen had no choice but to go over and go out first, and Xiao Tang followed behind her and sent her back to the room.
For a moment, neither of them said anything, but walked silently.
The night breeze caressed, wordless, then blew up Huaizhen's clothes, Xiao Tang watched from the side, did not make a sound, and saw her green silk lightly, so he deliberately walked a few steps closer, and secretly prayed in his heart, if Huaizhen had him, he would ask the wind to send her hair to his arms.
was thinking wildly, but because he was about to turn a corner, Huai Zhen stopped and said, "I'm here, Uncle Tang will go back." It was this time that the breeze blew up, and she lifted her long sideburns and brushed it gently over his cheeks.
Xiao Tang stood still, then looked at Huai Zhen and smiled, and the bitterness and coldness in his heart for several days temporarily retreated, and said softly: "Okay, you go back, I'll look at you." ”
Huaizhen was a little surprised, but when he saw that his expression was gentle, and if there was affection in his eyes, he didn't dare to look at it, so he only nodded and saluted, and then turned around and left.
After walking five or six steps like this, his pace slowed down, and he turned around again, slowly raised his eyes, but saw Xiao Tang leaning on the railing slightly, still looking at her silently.
Looking at each other, Huaizhen was stunned, and couldn't help but smile, and then walked a few more steps and entered the door.
Xiao Tang saw her enter the house all the time, and heard the voice of the maid inside, so he turned around and went back to the study.
The next morning, Huai Zhen really came to say goodbye and go home, and Mrs. Tang did not leave her, but only gave her a few words of advice, and let her go.
Today, because there was no early dynasty, Xiao Tang personally sent her to the car, and then went back to the house, tidied up a little, and then wanted to go to the Lin Mansion again, but the maid came, and said: "Young master, Mrs. called you over." ”
Xiao Tang only thought that his mother didn't know what to say, so he also went.
Who knew that when she entered the door, she wanted to salute, and Mrs. Tang had already signaled the maids to retreat, and her expression was different from usual.
Seeing this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but wonder, Mrs. Tang and the other girls were gone, so she stared at Xiao Tang and shouted, "You kneel for me!"
Xiao Tang didn't understand what he meant, so he had to kneel down according to his words, and asked in fear: "I don't know what mistake my son made?
Mrs. Tang glared at him for a long time, and then sighed heavily, and said, "You don't grow up, I only treat you as your ......" and said twice, but she couldn't say it, she only lowered her voice and said, "You only said it, last night...... What did you do?"
When Xiao Tang heard this, he was shocked, and thought about it quickly, he didn't do anything last night, he just called Huaizhen to go to the study, is it ......
Xiao Tang's eyes changed slightly, and he didn't speak for a while.
Over there, Mrs. Tang was already frowning again and said, "You kid, you have never been the kind of frivolous seed, how can you make a mess here...... You can just treat others, how can you be honest with Huaizhen......"
When Xiao Tang heard this, he had no doubts, and when he saw that Mrs. Tang said it so strictly, he was afraid that he would not be good to Huaizhen, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, I asked Huaizhen to come to my study last night because of something...... Actually, it didn't do anything. ”
Mrs. Tang hated: "You still have a hard mouth with me, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed reads();!"
Xiao Tang was stunned and didn't speak.
Mrs. Tang said, "Last night...... I was afraid that you would be upset about Lord Lin, so I wanted to see you again...... But I didn't expect ......"
Xiao Tang lowered his head and said, "But...... It was because Huai was really sad, and I hugged her for a while, just to appease her, nothing else. ”
Xiao Tang said in his mouth, and he couldn't help but secretly blame himself: last night because he had something in his heart, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings, and he didn't know when he saw it for his mother.
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she smiled bitterly twice and said, "You have no choice but to deceive others, you were born to me, don't I know your temperament? Since you were a child, when have you ever been close to a girl like this? Even if you have been engaged to * before...... You've had a half-point with her?"
Xiao Tang's heart shook, and he said again: "Mother...... I'm ......."
Mrs. Tang said bitterly: "I think about it day and night, I want you to find a good family, marry a wife and have children...... I didn't think that your heart was on Huaizhen...... How can this be done? Don't you know that Huaizhen is a gift from God? Don't you know...... Are you a generation behind her?"
When Xiao Tang heard this, he summed up in his heart, and gradually made up his mind, so he said: "What my mother reprimands is that I can't hide it from my mother and son...... There is indeed a sincerity in my heart. ”
Madame Tang became more and more frightened, and shouted: "Shut up! When did you give birth to this bastard? You don't want to harm other people's good children!"
When Mrs. Tang said this, she was frightened again, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be ...... Could it be that Huaizhen also has this heart for you?"
Xiao Tang hurriedly said: "Mother misunderstood, Huaizhen...... She is really a sensible and polite person, and she didn't come to our house a few times before, because she noticed that I ...... her."
When Xiao Tang said this, he felt a little embarrassed: At this moment, Mrs. Tang still doesn't know what he used to do, if she knows, she may not know what to do.
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I know that the child is not Meng Lang's frivolity, but since you know that people have no intention of you, why do you want to do this? If it is spread out, you will just cause trouble yourself, won't you want to kill her?
When Mrs. Tang said this, without waiting for Xiao Tang to answer, she said again: "That's it, I won't mention this matter in the future, and you will stop me from this evil mind, just as if nothing happened." lest there be more trouble......"
Xiao Tang listened to Mrs. Tang's words, thought about it, and only lowered his head.
Mrs. Tang sighed again: "I will ...... in the future I don't dare to ask Huaizhen to come to the house again, no wonder I called her before, she is always unavailable, it turns out that you are all hurt! If I call her again, won't it hurt her even more? If you remember it for me today, and you will find out to me in the future...... I'm going to beat you hard!"
Xiao Tang listened to Mrs. Tang's words so harshly, so he agreed. After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "Mother...... Then if you have a daughter-in-law like Huaizhen, do you like it?"
Mrs. Tang had this idea yesterday, but she didn't dare to think about it too much, and when she heard this, she shouted: "Shut up!
Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Where does my son dare." Just listen to your mother's teachings. ”
Seeing that he agreed, Mrs. Tang nodded, eliminated a little annoyance, and said slowly: "This is good." I know you're old...... Inevitably, there will inevitably be some ...... Since I can't find a suitable person for a while, why don't I put the two girls in your room first?"
When Xiao Tang heard this, he coughed a few times and said, "Mother, there is no need to reads();!"
Mrs. Tang looked at his expression carefully, then thought and said, "You must not look down on him, otherwise...... You yourself look at the pleasant ones outside, so you can also buy two of them and come into the house......"
Xiao Tang was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Mother, I still have to go to the Lin Mansion today." If nothing else......"
Mrs. Tang then remembered to get down to business again, so she hurriedly stopped talking and said, "I almost forgot, just go." ”
Xiao Tang kowtowed again, got up and came out, walked to the door, sighed heavily, smiled again, and hurried away.
Let's say that Huaizhen returned to Ying Gongfu, and when he entered the door, he knew that Ying Lanfeng had already gone to Lin Mansion...... Huaizhen saw the old lady Junying and Mrs. Ying, and then went back to the east courtyard.
When I entered the door, a few little girls greeted me, congratulated and said, "The girl is finally back, do you know...... The young master of the Zhang family came to look for him, and knew that the girl was not at home, so he went there in a daze. ”
Huai Zhen asked, "But the big ingot?"
Gong Xi smiled: "It's this Brother Zhen'er......"
Ji Xiang said: "It's okay, Brother Zhen often comes and goes, and I'm afraid I'll come again in two days." ”
He congratulated, "He said the same thing, and brought the girl a lot of things, all in the box in the back room." ”
When Huaizhen heard this, he hurried into the back room, and sure enough, he saw a large box held by one person on the ground.
Huai Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said, "What is this for?"
Congratulations followed in, opened it and showed her, Huaizhen looked at it fixedly, and was taken aback, but saw that the contents of the box were full of dazzling things, and it seemed quite familiar.
Carefully recognize, it is actually a common thing in Taizhou, there is food, there are also some playthings: a pair of painted colorful mud tigers, handmade shadow puppets, hibiscus crisp candy, a bag of ginkgo fragrant lotus taro, a bag of pork jerky, and even a porcelain bottle of Meilan spring wine...... Huaizhen took it in his hand and looked at it the same, and when he saw these old things, he laughed and felt moved.
Gong Xi also smiled: "I saw them carrying such a big box, I don't know what to do, what is this Brother Zhen doing?"
Huai Zhen sighed with emotion: "You don't know, this is when we were in Taizhou before...... Although the things produced in Taizhou are common, the intention of the big ingots is really rare. ”
Huai Zhen couldn't help but think of all the things in Taizhou because of his thoughts and feelings, and when he thought about it, he actually thought of the situation when Lin Shenzhou and Xiao Tang had a private visit, and now the old things are still there, but this person has ......
Huaizhen closed the box again, retreated to the edge of the kang, and sat down.
I don't know how long it took for someone outside to report, "Mr. Zhu is here." ”
Huaizhen woke up in shock, and only then did he stand up, and saw Mr. Zhu walking in from outside, but today's expression is not like the past.
Mr. Zhu used to smile slightly on his face no matter when, vaguely with some dustless meaning, but today, his expression was a little sad, and he really didn't understand what to do, so he said: "Mr. is here, sit down." ”
Mr. Zhu didn't make a sound, but just sat down with reads();. After sitting down, he was still distracted.
Huaizhen was puzzled, so he looked at Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye pulled her, and whispered, "Mr. I don't know what's wrong...... Inquire about Lord Narin...... After he passed away, he has always been like this. Alas...... I didn't know he would be so interested in people. ”
Huaizhen listened to it and also felt puzzled, Mr. Zhu and Lin Shenzhou ...... If you say you know it, it's just a gentleman's friend, and it's as light as water.
Last time, I only heard that he went to see Lin Shenzhou...... However, everyone has seven emotions and six desires, if Mr. Zhu and Lord Lin are particularly close to each other, the front foot gave him a doctor, and the back foot he went so unexplained...... Mr. Zhu felt sad, and there were some of them.
Huai Zhen sighed: "I heard about Uncle Lin before, and I don't think I can believe it...... It's a pity that after all...... Most of them are jealous talents. ”
When Mr. Zhu heard this, he raised his eyes to look at her, and after looking at it for a while, he said silently: "You don't understand, this is a path he found by himself, and no one can control him." ”
Huai Zhen really didn't understand, so he said, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Mr. Zhu's eyes were slightly red, and after thinking for a while, he said, "However, there is no need to stop him, after all, this is his wish...... He is that person, but he wishes, but he is afraid that on the Huangquan Road, he is also singing and laughing. When I said this, I couldn't help it anymore, and I burst into tears.
When Huai Zhen and Zhang Ye heard this, they were shocked, but Mr. Zhu's words were not like comments on a person who "met in Pingshui".
Zhang Ye wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, since he was sensible, Mr. Zhu has always been light and light-hearted, and he has never cried for anyone so sad, which really shocked him in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.
Huaizhen stared at Mr. Zhu, and his heart moved, so he asked, "Sir...... Could it be with Uncle Lin...... You've known each other for a long time?"
When Mr. Zhu heard this, he silently did not answer, and only after a while, did he mutter: "Crazy Confucian, drunken sword, iron gossip...... Now...... No more!" There was a great deal of sorrow in that voice.
Huaizhen was shocked when he heard this, suspected that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly walked to Mr. Zhu's side and asked, "Sir...... What did Fang Cai say?"
Mr. Zhu took two deep breaths, the tears in his eyes were still there, but he raised his sleeve to wipe them away, and said, "It's nothing, it's just me...... It's just gibberish for a while. ”
Huaizhen was full of suspicions, but Mr. Zhu calmed down, nodded and said: "Huaizhen girl, I came today to find you something, I have an important object, entrusted by an old man, I came to hand it over to you." ”
Huaizhen was shocked, so he had to ask, "I don't know...... Who is it, and what is it?"
Mr. Zhu only shook his head and said, "You don't have to ask. I'm just here to get it done...... He said to my entrustment ......", then took out a small narrow box from his bosom, handed it to Huaizhen, and said, "You...... Good life collection, this is his ...... A little thought about you, remember, don't call it...... Others see. ”
After Mr. Zhu finished speaking, he stood up, raised his head, and tears came out of the corners of his eyes, but he laughed twice and said, "Idiot, idiot...... It's all ......" stopped talking, and hurriedly walked out the door.
Zhang Ye was at a loss, and he didn't dare to laugh, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Huai Zhen and followed closely.
Huaizhen didn't know why, stood in place, and woke up after a while, and saw that there was no one in the house, so he slowly opened the box in his hand, but he was stunned for a while.
But I saw that the golden light in front of me was brilliant, and what was contained in the box was a delicate, luxurious and extraordinary ...... The beauty of the palace pavilion is a golden hairpin.
