Chapter 144: The Sea of Vinegar Turns Waves
Three quarters of the unitary hour. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Only two days after the full moon, the moon was still hanging high in the sky.
The moonlight passed through the eaves of the pavilion, projected diagonally, and poured on the frozen lake, and at this moment, the drunken moon lake was like a huge piece of rock candy.
Under the bright moon, Le Lang and Chai Chen were pouring cups and drinking each other.
The two of them sat opposite each other, with bottles of wine on the coffee table in the middle. Whenever the wine glass was empty, the two of them reached out and filled their wine glasses without distinguishing between the guests and the hosts.
It is self-poured.
Le Lang's expression was as calm as ever.
Chai Chen was absent-minded.
It's so quiet, it's hollow, it's deep.
Occasionally, the sound of ice cracking can be heard.
Is it a fish hitting the ice on the surface of the lake? Or is it just a temporary warmer temperature, causing the ice to crack?
Listening to the sound of "stinging" and "stinging", Chai Chen sighed for no reason: "The cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded." ”
At this time, it is not midsummer, and there are no cicadas and birds singing here, but this poem from the Southern Dynasty is used here in the same way.
As if he hadn't heard, Le Lang was reading a book while drinking wine from the Western Regions.
"What are you reading?"
Chai Chen looked at "her" and didn't answer, the light in his eyes became more and more dim, and asked cautiously.
Le Lang replied without raising his eyes: "The Maha Prajna Sutra." ”
"Is it a Buddhist scripture? Say what? ”
"Subodhi White Buddha said, 'Let me say Prajnaparamita for the Bodhisattvas, and the Bodhisattvas should become Bodhisattvas from it.'" The Bodhisattva has a word for what is the law, and the Bodhisattva does not see the word for the law. Bodhisattvas are not seen, and bodhisattvas cannot be obtained. Nor can we see Prajnaparamita, nor can we attain it, nor can we see it, nor can we attain it. ’”
Le Lang read a large number of Buddhist scriptures to him according to the script, and Chai Chen listened to it in a fog.
"She" was deliberately or unintentionally alienated, making his heart, like a lonely leaf in autumn, cold and desolate, drifting lonely into the distance under the blowing of the wind, unable to see the goal or direction.
At this moment, Chai Chen just wanted to raise a glass and get drunk alone, drink the flying snow, drink all the dust, and be at a loss for another year.
But after a glass of hot wine, the anger and jealousy in his heart made him like a chestnut roasted on a fire, and the heat was about to break the shell.
"The son of the Xin family must also like to read Buddhist scriptures, right?"
Chai Chen thought to himself that if there was a bronze mirror beside him at this time, he would definitely be intimidated by his jealous and distorted face.
However, he couldn't help but remember.
Since "Le Lin" explicitly rejected his love that day, Chai Chen sent his personal guard Lao Lianghan to quietly follow "her".
……
"You say, she made a private appointment with the son of the Xin family?"
A few days ago, when he heard Lao Lianghan tell him what he had seen, Chai Chen couldn't believe it, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help swallowing two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry, and he only knew how to repeat Lao Lianghan's words.
Lao Lianghan knew that his master was really haunted by his dreams and deep-rooted feelings for the lady of the Nale family, and he was also conflicted in his heart.
He couldn't bear to be sad and disappointed by His Royal Highness, but he didn't want him to be deceived.
So he nodded heavily and said, "The little one will never dare to say half a lie." After noon today, the lady of the Le family dressed in men's clothes, came out of the lonely snow forest, bypassed the Qinquan Temple, hired a carriage at the foot of the mountain to go to Yunlai Pavilion, and the little one saw her and the son of the Naxin family meet outside the door of Yunlai Pavilion. ”
"Men's clothing?"
Chai Chen held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked tremblingly, "Could it be her brother?" ”
Lao Lianghan shook his head and replied categorically: "Impossible. ”
"How can you be so sure?"
"After they met, the little one happened to see An Guohou and His Royal Highness from a distance, and they came out together in the editorial office of "Bianjing Small Magazine" at the end of the street."
Chai Chen's face suddenly became gloomy.
will appear with Chai Jue, naturally "Lelang".
Then, the person who has a private meeting with the son of the Xin family can only be "Le Lin".
Lao Lianghan was still talking and saying: "The little lady of the Lejia also saw them, but An Guohou and His Royal Highness were talking and laughing, and they were far away, and they didn't find it. Le Niangzi probably didn't want her brother to see it, so she hurriedly entered the Yunlai Pavilion in a little hurry. Seeing this, the son of the Naxin family sneered and didn't know what to say, and followed her in. ”
"Go on."
Chai Chen commanded in a cold voice.
His expression was gloomy and cold, and there was a dark tide in his eyes.
Lao Lianghan is a member of Empress Wang's family, and has been by Chai Chen's side since the eleventh year of Chongning. It wasn't until this moment that he discovered that this gentle Second Highness also had such eyes.
Chai Chen's momentum when he was silent at the moment was not only Wang Miao's obedience and ferocity, but also the official's unangry and threatening, which made Lao Lianghan feel terrified and break out in a cold sweat.
He resignedly continued: "The little one stayed in Yunlai Pavilion for most of the hour, watching them come out of the private room, the son of the Xin family did not leave Yunlai Pavilion, and after Le Niangzi left Yunlai Pavilion, he returned to the Marquis of Anguo Mansion according to the same way. ”
Chai Chen was still silent, but the hands in his sleeves had already clenched into fists, and his joints were white.
- The little one stayed in Yunlai Pavilion for most of the hour, watching them come out of the private room.
These words, like a poisonous curse, were tightly enveloped in his heart.
Every moment since that day, he couldn't control himself from thinking about it.
In the end, what have they done in the wing room of Yunlai Pavilion for most of the hour?
All that lingers in my mind are filthy and obscene pictures.
Jealousy, like a Gu worm with sharp teeth, burrowed into Chai Chen's heart, biting his heart one by one, and then the hairy bones penetrated through his bones in shock, burrowed into his blood, and spread all over his body.
……
"The son of the Xin family must also like to read Buddhist scriptures, right?"
Le Lang ignored him at all and continued to read the Buddhist scriptures leisurely.
Chai Chen didn't give up, and asked sourly: "Xin Ji must also like to drink wine from the Western Regions, like to read strange books, like to talk about the world, and like to wear plain clothes......"
He said so much in one breath, paused, and said dejectedly: "He must also like to listen to "Huanqin". ”
Chai Chen couldn't help but think, on the day of the sting, "she" was waiting in the silent snow forest, probably Xin Ji, right?
The song "Huanqin" was also played to Xin Ji......
It was he who was amorous to him, so he misunderstood it until now, and he still thinks that he has a heart to heart with her, and he likes this cold track. But in fact, there has always been someone else who has a heart and a soul with her.
Chai Chen's belly of horse fur wine almost turned into sour vinegar.
"You Anguo Marquis Mansion and the Xin family have an enmity, but you and Xin Ji are in love, and you are afraid that your family will interfere with you, so you want to use me as a cover, but is this?"
So that day, when he asked "she" if there was someone else he loved, "she" would talk to him left and right.
This is supposed to be a poignant story - the children of two feuding families fall in love with each other, and they have to meet secretly for fear of family opposition.
Even the most powerful storyteller in Bianjing City can't make up such a story.
It's just that he Chai Chen plays the most lame supporting role in this story, and he still doesn't know it, thinking that he is in love.
In vain laughed.
