Chapter 51: Tears in the Rain (1)
When Chu Yunxi heard this, her face flushed like drops of blood, her face sank, and she was about to leave with a flick of her sleeves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info just the cuff was scraped by a branch, and she frowned angrily.
Shi Jiaheng gracefully pulled out her sleeve wrapped around the flower branch through the flower branch, and said with a smile: "You see that even the plum blossoms are spiritual, and they are reluctant to let you go." ”
"What the hell are you fooling me about?" Chu Yunxi suppressed his anger and asked impatiently.
Shi Jiaheng stared at her face, and sure enough, a few months of similar years had passed. He became more and more distressed, and he didn't dare to show it too obviously, which annoyed her, so he had to say casually: "Of course, I invite you to enjoy the flowers." ”
After Chu Yunxi asked, she felt remorseful, for fear that he would embarrass her by saying something out of the ordinary, and she couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster and her cheeks flushed.
His answer was beyond her expectations. Her eyes widened and she looked at him with some surprise.
But he walked in the flower forest very easily, leisurely carrying the snow on the flower branches.
Chu Yunxi stood still, but his thoughts were churning in his heart, maybe he was too drunk that night and forgot what had happened, if she was too embarrassed, wouldn't it make him suspicious. Thinking of this, she was patient and had no intention of leaving.
Shi Jiaheng looked at the flowers quite leisurely, and asked while looking at the flowers: "Although the plum blossoms are planted in this yard, the varieties are very different, do you know the names of these flowers?" ”
It's not hard for her. Chu Yunxi has always liked to cultivate flowers and trees, and when she was in Shunan, she studied all kinds of flowers and trees, not to mention her favorite plum blossoms, she knew it well.
Hearing him ask like this, she replied honestly: "Although I don't dare to know it completely, I can recognize it." ”
When Shi Jiaheng heard this, he smiled with interest: "Okay, I'm going to ask you for advice today." ”
Chu Yunxi happily agreed.
Shi Jiaheng shuttled through the flower forest at will, and Chu Yunxi followed far away in his footsteps. He walked to a stop under a flower, flicked the crystal white snow on the flower branch, and a crimson plum blossom spread in the wind. He gently pulled down the flower branch and asked with a smile, "Do you recognize this flower as a kind of red plum?" ”
Chu Yunxi looked at it for a while, and said in a low voice quite confidently: "Naturally, this flower is a red plum treasure, called the red plum in the bones, the flower color is darker, it is like blood, and because the flower branch is red under the skin, it has this good name." ”
She was very familiar with this flower, just because the tattoo on her shoulder was the red plum in her bones.
Shi Jiaheng picked up a broken branch from under the tree, tore off the epidermis, and sure enough, the red inside was revealed. He gave a soft thumbs up. Instead, head to the next tree.
He stopped under a tree full of red flowers, and randomly twisted a red flower, which was slightly lighter in color than the red plum in the bones, like the pink of peach blossoms, and the petals were layered on top of each other, showing the posture of butterflies flying, as delicate and bright as spring flowers.
Chu Yunxi glanced at it and opened his mouth: "This plum blossom is as its name suggests, it is called Beauty Plum." Li Yiyou has a poem: The river flows to change the horse fur, and the beauty plum leads the wind and flow. Lan Zhou didn't solve Zhu Yan's tightness, and it was difficult to leave the resentment. ”
Shi Jiaheng smiled and nodded, and took another green plum to look at her.
"It's simpler. Green calyx plum, "Fan Cun Plum Spectrum" has a record: all plum blossoms, all the plum blossoms are purple, only this pure green. The branches are also green, especially high. ”
Shi Jiaheng smiled and said nothing, found two plants in the plum, picked two, one flower was half-open, the color was yellow and purple, and the flowers were dense and fragrant. The other flower is larger, pale yellow in color, white in the heart, and fragrant. Although the two plants are both plums, they have different postures and are slightly different, and it is difficult for laymen to distinguish them.
Chu Yunxi saw the difference between the two flowers at a glance, and said in a firm tone: "Both plants are first-class in Lamei, the purple heart is called Qikou, and the white heart is called Suxin." ”
Shi Jiaheng raised the chime and said, "The green clothes are about the predecessor, and the illusion of the palace is not stained with dust." The chime mouth is still smiling, and the sandalwood heart is full of spring. He put the flower back on the branch and smiled, "You are very good, I have been taught today." “
Chu Yunxi said in disbelief: "Since this yard is yours, the flowers in the yard are also what you ordered your subordinates to plant, how can you not understand the reason." You deliberately lead me to say so much, but it seems that I am frivolous and immodest. ”
Shi Jiaheng sneered, but she didn't think she was complaining, but she heard some coquettishness. He held back a smile, cleared his throat, and said calmly: "I also have some superficial knowledge, if what I said is wrong, please ask the master for guidance." Saying that, he really bowed to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Shi Jiaheng raised his head and smiled at her, Chu Yunxi's heart trembled, and he lowered his head again in a panic. While leading Chu Yunxi to enjoy the flowers, he talked eloquently. She was surprised to find that he was a treasure of the varieties, provenances, characteristics, and cultivation of plum blossoms in this yard, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "I didn't expect you to be a master here, I know that you like orchids, and a few gladiolus and junzi orchids at home are quite well maintained, but I don't know that you also like plum blossoms." Then you're deliberately playing tricks on me, is it fun? ”
"There are 233 plum trees in this courtyard, 36 of which are dead and 197 are alive, of which 42 are white plums, 66 are red plums, 77 are plum trees, and 19 are green plum trees." Shi Jiaheng suddenly said, "The reason why I know all about the plum trees here is because every plum tree here, whether it is dead or in full bloom, is planted by me." ”
Chu Yunxi was taken aback.
Shi Jiaheng stepped on the snow on the path under the tree, looked at the plum blossoms on the canopy like hanging colorful lights, and sighed: "Just because someone told me that her biggest wish in this life is to live with her relatives forever in a house surrounded by plum trees. I don't know if you remember? ”
Chu Yunxi's thoughts were chaotic, and his heart was like a sea. She lifted a pair of watery eyes and turned them to his face, and the eyes were filled with tears like pearls. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a curtain of water, and a long-ago phantom appeared in her heart. Did she ever say something like that? Maybe she doesn't even remember herself, but there is a person, there is actually a person who took her unintentional fairy tale when she was young, and planted a tree infused with sincerity for her, which represents her most innocent dream, and he has always kept it in his heart.
Shi Jiaheng smiled softly, walked a few steps closer, raised his hand to wipe her tears, and said softly in her ear: "Look at you, I said this to make you happy, why are you crying again." ”
Chu Yunxi whimpered and knocked off his hand and said angrily: "Who is crying, you are bullying people again." ”
As soon as she said this, Shi Jiaheng's heart was about to be crushed, but he not only did not retreat but went further, holding her hand with one hand and caressing her face with the other. She struggled a few times, but this time he exerted his strength, and when she saw his hand getting closer, she panicked, and her body shrank, and her skull hit his palm hard. He was in pain, and his hands were slackening. She pulled out her hand, turned and ran.
The path in Merlin is winding, and the yard is full of old people, making it difficult to sweep. The snow on the ground was a little thick, and Chu Yunxi ran two steps before falling into the snow.
If another man had changed, he might have grabbed her and accused her indignantly, forcing her to say something more resolute and hurtful, but Shi Jiaheng never seemed to be angry and impatient, and in the face of her deliberate rudeness and willfulness, he always held the most sincere smile and gave her the greatest tolerance and comfort.
He walked over to her and crouched down, pityingly helping her up. She resisted at first, but when she saw his tolerant smile again, she felt her own cruelty.
Shi Jiaheng brushed away the slush from her body, and smiled helplessly: "You still like to reject people thousands of miles away." Every time I come near you, you run away. I was so terrible. ”
Chu Yunxi bit his lip, his heart was numb, and he said in a panic: "You don't understand, I have lived for almost twenty years, and there are almost no relatives around me who are still alive. Every time I lose a loved one, it's like I'm dead, and I don't want to be reincarnated in life and death anymore. ”
Shi Jiaheng smiled softly, her smile was full of warmth, like the morning sun that can't be covered by clouds: "Do you know why people start a new family after becoming an adult?" Because your parents will eventually grow old and die, and you can't be a child forever, how can you survive without your parents? Form a new home, have new relatives, and the road ahead will be thorny and bumpy, and someone will accompany you to go down. Life and death are a complete cycle, and sorrow and joy are a complete life. You have lost the company of your loved ones, but you have received their genuine love. If you want, after you have lost many relatives, you can still get me, you can get a new home that I have built for you, and you will have children in the future. Those beautiful and fresh lives will be infused into your withered soul. Why are you afraid of the death of your loved ones, what are you afraid of, afraid of them leaving, afraid of a lonely and long-term life, afraid of all the feelings you have invested, and the most important thing is only a handful of loess and endless tears. But if you have invested in it, there are at least memories, love and hate, and if you refuse, you will only have a shriveled body waiting for death. Your life has not bloomed yet, can you bear to let it wither? Don't always be alone, don't always be alone with pain and sorrow, two people divide one point, and there is nothing left. ”
Listening to his words, tears flowed uncontrollably on her face. But he was glad that there was no sadness in her eyes. He took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it to her, he opened the box, and Chu Yunxi screamed in surprise.
In the box lies the lost jade plum hairpin, which is carved into a hairpin like a flower branch, with three white plums like jade butterflies on the pointed ends, and a little cinnabar in the plum heart is a natural blood clot formed by jade, like the finishing touch on the rouge on the forehead of the white jade who looks like a beauty.
This mother's relic, which she thought had been lost, was kept intact by him for more than ten years. He smiled and inserted the hosta into her temples, staring at her for a long time. In his heart, he will never forget the moment when he first saw her, she was like a fairy walking lightly among the flowers, singing the song condensed by the spirit of flowers and trees. He thought about it and said with a smile: "You must blame me, why didn't you return the things to their original owners earlier." I always want to keep it, and when you ask me, it will be the day when you and I will meet again. ”
Chu Yunxi endured the complicated feelings in his heart and sobbed softly.
"When I was ten years old, I entered Taixue and had the opportunity to return to Chang'an, but I got the news that you were buried in the fire. It was the only time I could remember crying. I thought of your grave and wept bitterly, but I didn't even know where you were buried. Four years later, before I returned to Yunzhong Mansion, I buried this hairpin in the backyard. Until I saw you alive again, that was when I just felt that I had nothing to ask for in life, and I only hoped that you would be safe. I dug it out of the yard again, but unfortunately you left again without quitting. I will give it back to you today, and I will give it to you again. I will send you countless days and nights, countless soul-breaking times. ”
Chu Yunxi's throat choked, and he couldn't say a word, only tears in his eyes, only speechlessness.
Thinking of the past sorrows, Shi Jiaheng sighed lightly: "But I still insisted on planting these two hundred plum trees here among the emperor's reward fields, hoping that one day when the snow is white and the plum blossoms are full of branches, you can feel it." Today you have personally seen the garden, I personally planted plum blossoms for you, my wish has been fulfilled. I don't dare to ask for the luxury of joining hands with you, just ask you not to forget today's plum blossoms, and I will be satisfied. ”
With that, he gradually let go of the hand that was holding her arm, and slowly turned away with a smile still on his face. The moment he bricked, she heard his gloomy sigh.
Just as he was about to move, a cold finger was wrapped around the little finger of his right hand. He shuddered for a moment, his heart was mixed, and he finally couldn't hold back his tears.
He froze for a moment before turning around with difficulty. Chu Yunxi had already burst into tears.
The two of them were in tears in the quiet plum forest, with the sound of the wind in their ears, the light fragrance of plum in their noses, and the tearful eyes of their loved ones in front of them.
The sky is changeable in winter, and the sky of the early glow is dyed by the ink color in a blink of an eye, becoming gloomy and gray, as if the snow is hanging peacefully in the frozen and solidified air, the four fields are peaceful, the earth is pure, and the plum blossoms are inspired by the white snow, releasing a more tranquil plum fragrance.
The tears on the cheeks of the two seemed to be frozen, and they were applied to their faces brightly, and their expressions and minds were stiffened. But the tears in Chu Yunxi's eyes were inexhaustible, Shi Jiaheng's hand seemed to be tentatively and hesitantly raised, seeing that she did not flinch, she slowly stroked her cold cheeks, this time she did not resist, only the surging tears continued to flow through his palm like a heat wave.
His hand slowly moved from her face to her neck, and with a slight pull, her body leaned limply, her head buried in his neck socket. He could keenly feel the part of the two torsos close to each other, and it warmed up.
After countless times of peace, countless worries, and countless times of despair, in this winter of heavy snow and plum blossoms, they finally hugged each other without distraction.
