Chapter 14 Hair Small
"So, you've met that girl again now?" Lian Jingqian spoke intermittently, and Cao Xun listened in a daze.
Lian Jingqian smiled bitterly and nodded.
"And how is she doing now?"
He let out a long sigh: "It's not good, I've been a maid in an official's house for many years, and I'm coming...... When she was about to be released from the house, she was also punished with a cane for no reason, and if she lived in her original home, she would never suffer at all. Even now when I go back, I'm still suffering......"
He didn't explain everything clearly to Cao Xun, but just said that because of his reasons, he caused a young lady from a big family to be a maid for many years, but now, he met again.
Cao Xun only listened, but he didn't take the big family in his mouth to heart. He knows the details of these powerful people in the capital, where could such a strange thing happen? At most, it was just a tyrant or a famous family who was powerful in a certain city when Lian Jingqian passed by a certain city when he was in exile when he was young......
"With your current status, you can just make up for that young lady, why be depressed about this kind of thing?" he didn't care.
Although he has the bold and uninhibited character of a military general, after so many years, the concept of hierarchy is also deeply ingrained in Cao Xun's heart.
Grievances between people of different classes cannot be called grievances at all.
Lian Jingqian didn't speak, just continued to pour wine.
Cao Xun watched from the side, and suddenly became a little unhappy, snatched Lian Jingqian's jar of wine with one hand, and glared at him.
"What are you doing, pay me back!" Even Jing Qian's drunken strength came up, and he no longer had the humility and politeness he had on weekdays.
"I said," Cao Xun squinted, "you kid can't be emotionally attached to that girl, right?"
Even Jingqian's hand to snatch the wine suddenly stopped, and he didn't come back for a long time.
Emotional?
Perhaps.
It's just that he doesn't know whether this feeling is guilt, gratitude, appreciation, or ...... Love prevails?
However, when you see her, you can't help but want to get closer, you will be lost or annoyed when you see her close to others, you can't help but feel distressed when you see her sad, and when you see her in danger, you will immediately stand up and protect her, even if the injured person will become yourself...... These inexplicable acts, he had never done before.
is to see that Lianjia, who has a marriage contract with him and is bullied in the Jiang family, his desire to protect her is less than one-tenth of the former.
Maybe, maybe it's really emotional.
It's a pity that it's too late, and now he doesn't have the courage to get close to her anymore.
Cao Xun was even more annoyed when he saw that he was distracted, punched him in the chest, and said, "Sure enough, you kid have forgotten that you also have a cousin named Jiang Lianjia, who has been waiting for you to marry her? Could it be that your fiancée has not passed the door, so you have to take a little girl as a concubine first?"
"Shut up!" Lian Jingqian looked at him coldly, "Take care of your tongue, don't talk fucking nonsense." ”
Cao Xun glared: "Okay, you kid, talk to your brother like this for a woman!"
"Aren't you yelling at me now for Lianjia's business? Oh, and punched me. Lian Jingqian said lightly.
Cao Xun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly like a deflated ball, he stopped talking.
Lian Jingqian looked at his eyes, and couldn't help but think of a few years ago, this kid ran to their house twice in three days, pestering Lianjia who came to visit his grandmother, and insisted that she watch him turn his head.
"She's been so hard all these years, why didn't you think about helping her?" Lian Jing sighed faintly.
Cao Xun snatched the wine from his hand, took a sip, and said, "Why don't I want to?" I have looked for her many times, but she doesn't know when she looks at me like an enemy, and she is not even willing to talk to me, let alone accept my kindness......
He sometimes thinks about it, in fact, his feelings for Jiang Lianjia may have slowly changed.
From the initial admiration and liking, to the later triumphantly trying to condescend to let her see how majestic she was, but ran into one hard nail after another, and in the end, even when he saw her looking at him, he would be stunned from the bottom of his heart and think of some dusty past.
Although it was not his fault that incident, and the person he was sorry for was not her, that look in his eyes made him a coward for a while, and he didn't dare to approach, not even to hear her news.
He suddenly felt that Lian Jingqian at this time was like him who experienced despair for the first time many years ago, but he seemed to be much more prosperous than himself.
After all, at that time, he saw that the Jiang family was in the middle of the road, and the two of them were already in the wrong household, so he had the idea of accepting her as a concubine as a kind of compensation......
But the young man in front of him seemed to be reluctant to let the mysterious girl suffer a little grievance.
He couldn't help but take another sip of wine, his eyes dark.
In fact, he is the most despicable person, he is the one who sticks the knife, the treacherous, and causes his brother to suffer for the rest of his life.
When Lian Jingqian heard his words, he was stunned and wondered: "Strange, did you do something to make her angry? Why do you think you are an enemy?"
"What do you want?" he couldn't help but smile and pat him at a rare look at his serious expression.
"Huh?" Cao Xun came back to his senses and opened his mouth to say, "I was thinking about when you and Lianjia will get married, so I can go and send a congratulatory gift." ”
Lian Jingqian smiled slightly, lowered his head and smiled after a while: "Come on, when my errand is decided, it should be soon." He didn't share the fact that the two of them had actually withdrawn from marriage, after all, he had promised Yiying that he would marry her, and then, like in her dreams, live happily ever after. This should be considered a kind of compensation, right?" he smiled self-deprecatingly.
Cao Xun was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then he sighed.
"Okay, when we get married, you won't be allowed to worry about my daughter-in-law anymore. Lian Jingqian punched him with a smile, and then stood up slowly, staring straight ahead, not looking at him.
There are some things, but it is easy to make the other party step down, especially when he knows that with Wu Anhou's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Xun and Lian Jia to go without himself.
Then he heard a little angry roar: "You little trash, what do you think of me?" kindly help you take care of your daughter-in-law and be slapped by your daughter-in-law, forget it, you still say such unconscionable words......
"Okay, okay, I know, I'm verbose. He jumped down with ease, waved his hand at the hair in the moonlight, and staggered away.
Because he didn't look back, he naturally couldn't see it, Cao Xun's eyes gradually became red, and he couldn't hear the sentence "Little garbage, I'm fucking sorry for you......" that dissipated in the wind.
