Chapter 54: The End of the Song and the Dream of Scattered Dreams (2)
Chu Yunxi burst into his head, laughed miserably, and fell to the ground unconscious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In a haze, Chu Yunxi heard the quarrel between Biyin and Lu Yan, and Lu Yan loudly scolded Bi Yin for not telling her the news of Luo Chun's death so abruptly, how could she be stimulated by her appearance. Biyin was not convinced at first, and rejected her twice. But Lu Yan still kept nagging, she was very angry, and because of Geng Gong's matter, the two were already estranged, and after this big quarrel, the two almost started to fight, until Yan Qingshuang appeared and separated the two with a broken drink, which avoided more serious consequences.
After a lot of trouble, the relationship between the two was difficult to repair, and they met like strangers after that.
Chu Yunxi returned to her original state of being in a stagnant pool, Yan Qingshuang agreed with Lu Yan's opinion, decisively took over all the matters of Luochun's funeral, and strongly asked her to recuperate at home and never attend. She didn't object too much to their arrangement, and silently obeyed their good intentions.
After this series of changes, Chu Yunxi only felt that her heart was buried in the ice, and she couldn't bear the pain of saying goodbye to her relatives, so she could only let herself hide in the house like a turtle with a shrunken head.
Yan Qingshuang has not been asked much about entering and leaving the Chu Mansion, first, she is fierce, and everyone is afraid of her, and secondly, she is an outsider after all, and she doesn't care whether she leaves or stays in the Lu family. But she was naturally vigilant, and she still told the people in the house that her aunt had died and went home to mourn. When Lu heard that he was kind, he wrapped dozens of taels of silver for her.
After Yan Qingshuang left, Chu Yunxi became more and more depressed, Chu Yunlian had a ghost in his heart, Li Jin was forced to force each other, Bai Linglin was eyeing her, she was really embattled on all sides now, ambushed on all sides, but she couldn't fight the enemy as bravely as the overlord of Chu, and then killed herself Wujiang. She is in a dilemma, tied her hands and feet, fighting but not fighting, and dying and not dying. She stared at the wall in a daze, and all kinds of thoughts came to her head, about to crush her head.
A sharp knock at the door interrupted her train of thought. The door was opened, and a smell of rouge came from the nose, and Chu Yunxi felt vigilantly that this was the smell of an outsider's invasion. She turned around, Bai Linglin flashed in front of her like a ghost, she looked down at her footwork, and was surprised to find that she actually had some martial arts foundation.
If he doesn't go out or meet guests, when Chu Yunxi is at home, he always dresses up normally, wears a bun at will, and does not wear hairpins, hairpins, hairpins and silver rings. On the contrary, Bai Linglin has an almost paranoid preference for grooming and dressing, even the sweaty hot summer can't stop her love for rouge fine powder, her snow-white face is as white as paper, with a scarlet lips, and the delicately trimmed eyebrows are like flower branches in a potted plant that are stifled with vitality, and can never grow into a spectacular scene that covers the sky. Her beauty is delicate and petty.
She sat opposite her with some pretense posture, a pair of watery eyes kept turning, and suddenly her eyes were certain, and she smiled: "The fourth sister has been staying at home recently, is she sick?" ”
Chu Yunxi nodded lightly and said, "It's a little uncomfortable, but it's not a big deal." ”
Bai Linglin showed a sarcastic look on her face: "It shouldn't be that sentence to be a thief." ”
Chu Yunxi's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, you can't say it directly." No need to beat around the bush, I don't understand. ”
"Good!" Bai Linglin praised: "I just like a cheerful person like the fourth sister." I can forgive you for not caring about your twenty years of possessing my identity, using my name, and even killing my mother, but you must make amends to me. Her eyes shone with a cunning aura, and she looked extremely unkind.
Chu Yunxi had already guessed that she would not give up, and sooner or later she would use this as a threat, and with an expected calm look, she asked, "What compensation?" ”
Bai Linglin fiddled with the jade pendant on her chest, looked at her with provocative eyes and said, "I want you to give me Shi Jiaheng, I want you to let him marry me!" ”
Chu Yunxi sighed, was silent for a long time, and was still calm: "How can you think of doing such a thing?" ”
"Why not." Bai Linglin's neck was raised, and he said stubbornly like a willful child, "I know that he has a deep love for you, if you force him to marry me, he will categorically refuse, but if you go to beg him, he loves you so much, he will definitely agree." ”
Chu Yunxi's face was always undisturbed, which made Bai Linglin a little disappointed, she originally prepared an embarrassing speech, and when she had a seizure, she shot at her all the time, but she didn't expect that she was like an orphan girl who had lost her relatives at the funeral, and she had been hanging her head silently, silently, and secretly bearing, making her feel that she was very evil and vicious, and kept persecuting and bullying. Instead of getting the pleasure of wanton revenge, she felt a little guilty, but she quickly convinced herself that showing weakness and submission was often a weapon of counterattack, and that she should not be deceived by her pitiful appearance.
Her guilt quickly vanished, and she took on a hideous look.
Chu Yunxi let her show her teeth and claws in front of her, completely unmoved, and finally yawned to send off the guest. Bai Linglin's angry eyebrows were upside down, but she patted the back of her hand with a smile and comforted her: "Okay, I promise you." ”
Bai Linglin was baffled by her, and left angrily and puzzled.
Chu Yunxi blew out the candle, turned over and fell on the bed, in the darkness she laughed loudly, the laughter was terrible, like a white ape wailing. She smiled and laughed, tears like a waterfall crashing into a mountain stream, bursting and gushing, destroying her liver and lungs in an instant, and hurting endlessly.
The wind in the courtyard has not stopped since nightfall, the lights under the eaves are swaying, the green bamboo rustles across the lake, the water shines on the wall, ripples, and is covered by the bamboo shadow, and the light and shadow are mottled.
Chu Yunxi lay on the railing and watched the water, the tiny rose petals swirled on the water, like a lonely orchid boat drifting with the waves, like the unpredictable fate that could not have a moment of peaceful stopping.
The sound of feet landing on the porch sounded very softly, like a stone falling into the water, and Chu Yunxi's heart was flooded with turbulent ripples.
A warm and gentle hand was on her cheek, and she looked at the handsome face reflected in the water, a little distracted and a little sad.
She sat up, leaned her head into his arms naturally, and smiled slightly, "You're here." ”
Shi Jiaheng's brows were tightly twisted, his face was heavy, and he said uncomfortably for a while: "I'm sorry, I just knew that Luochun was gone." You should have told me a long time ago, I haven't come to see you these days, first, I am afraid that the people in the house will make irresponsible comments; Second, I am afraid that your cranky thoughts will only increase sadness. I didn't know what was going on. He took her shoulders and lifted her up, and saw her dull eyes, and then saw her rapidly emaciated, bony body, and his heart, which had just been overflowing with happiness, was broken again and bled all over the ground. As if in pain, he hugged her tightly and choked up, "What can I do to make you less miserable?" ”
Chu Yunxi grinned his lips like frost and said with tears in his eyes: "Jiaheng, can I ask you for something?" ”
Shi Jiaheng put her head on her shoulder socket and asked in a depressed voice: "You say, as long as you want to do something, I will definitely help you do it." ”
A tear that had been hanging in her eyes for a long time finally fell, and the surroundings were very quiet, but Chu Yunxi felt that her world was raining, she shrank and stretched out her hand to wrap around his back, before losing him, she wanted to embrace happiness, but it was eternal separation.
So after a long time, she opened her heavy lips and spit out a sentence like a landslide: "I want to ask you to marry Bai Linglin." ”
Shi Jiaheng seemed to have been hit with a heavy hammer, he straightened her, looked her eyes in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?" ”
Chu Yunxi tried hard to maintain his smile, but he couldn't stop crying. She said with difficulty: "Jiaheng, I'm sorry. ”
Shi Jiaheng was short of breath, and asked repeatedly, "Bai Linglin forced you, didn't you?" Or the crown princess? What did they tell you? ”
Chu Yunxi shook his head and cried: "No, no one forced me. I begged you of my own free will. It's a debt I owe, but I can't afford to pay it. I treat you as my dearest, and I can only ask you. ”
"What happened back then was a mistake, it wasn't you who did it intentionally, and deliberately robbed her of her identity, why did you stop all your mistakes and torture yourself because of a few perverse words from her. She wandered when she was young, and she suffered a lot under the fence, but how have you ever been better all these years? The identity of Miss Chu also brings you heavy shackles and burdens, you have also endured all kinds of hardships for her, and you have avenged her parents' revenge, even if you owe something, you have already paid it off. Shi Jiaheng gritted her teeth and pulled her to stand up, and said resolutely, "Let's go, let's go face the saint." I thought about it for a long time, why don't we follow Brother Lin's example and be an ordinary civilian. I am not the eldest son, nor am I the only son, there is still a brother in the family who can do his filial piety for me, inherit my father's ambition, kill the enemy and be loyal, and report to the grace of heaven to care for the people. What's more, there are still mothers and young sisters at home, and if I go to war with my father and brother, it would be unfilial to leave them behind. When I return to my father, I will take you and my mother and sister back to my hometown in the countryside, and I think my father and brother will understand. If I lose the title of Meritorious Service and leave the court, the emperor will not object to the marriage of you and me, for the sake of your deceased mother, as long as you ask for good words, he will also understand. ”
Chu Yunxi withdrew his hand painfully, took a step back, and suddenly fell to his knees.
Shi Jiaheng was shocked, and the two knelt together. Chu Yunxi's breath was chaotic, and he cried with difficulty: "Jiaheng, don't you understand? Can my heart for you be changed by coercion? I understand everything you said, I'm not a fool, I can still distinguish between right and wrong, how could I be so stupid as to blame myself for what happened back then. As you said, because of the confusion of our identities, Bai Linglin and I both suffered a fate that did not belong to us. But it is an indisputable fact that I survived because of her identity, and I am grateful to her. But over the years, I have fought for the Chu family and her parents, and I can be regarded as doing my filial piety for her. I know I don't owe her, but I owe her mother, who wasn't my birth mother. She had a nurturing grace with me, and she lost her life. Speaking of Bai Qiao, Chu Yunxi couldn't cry, "It's a pity that when she died, she didn't know that what she was desperately protecting was not her own flesh and blood." How do you let me face her after I die, she loves her daughter so much, how can I make her daughter sad for the rest of her life. Marrying you is Bai Linglin's only wish. We have lived and died together for many years, I believe in you so much, I understand you, and I firmly believe that only you can give her a solid support for the rest of her life, can take care of her, protect her, and save her from suffering, so as to make up for my debt to her mother. ”
"Jia Heng." Chu Yunxi pounced on him and cried: "In my heart, you and I are linked by fate and are inseparable, so I can selfishly ask you to repay my debts for me." I know that no matter how much I owe you, you will tolerate me and forgive me. I can only owe you, and if there is really an afterlife, I just want to repay your love. ”
Maybe it was at the end of despair, Shi Jiaheng, who had been torn apart from fate for so long, collapsed and was powerless, he felt that this time he was really completely defeated, looking at his beloved kneeling in front of him and pleading painfully, how could he refuse. He could refuse to resist the tightening imposed on his head by anyone, but what Chu Yunxi handed him, even if it was a sword, he could only accept it willingly and die happily.
Shi Jiaheng stared at Chu Yunxi's pale cheeks soaked in tears, and laughed sadly: "If I reject you, you will suffer for the rest of your life." But if I promise you, I will also suffer for the rest of my life, but at least you can have peace of mind and not be tormented by guilt. It's better for me to be in pain than for you. At least this time you didn't turn me away, you didn't say cold words to me that I didn't want to hurt you. You choose to owe me, which means that in your heart I am your dearest person, I should be happy, right? He hugged her and chuckled mournfully, "You know that I will never refuse anything you want me to do, and I will pay off the debt you owe you, and promise me that from now on, I will live happily, even if you and I will eventually be separated, and do not be sad and sad." ”
Chu Yunxi burst into tears and kept nodding in his arms.
The bleak night breeze blew away the temperature in the arms of the two, and even if the two hugged each other intimately, they could not hold the last ray of warmth.
Looking at his back as he left miserably, Chu Yunxi felt a trace of comfort in her grief, and she silently said in the bottom of her heart that no one could peep into: "I'm sorry, Jiaheng." I disappointed you, and I chose to sacrifice myself again, still not wanting to bother you. But I hope you never know that everything I do is just for you. My mother has passed away, even if Bai Linglin is happy, she will not be resurrected, I can be selfish once in order to love you, but it is precisely for the sake of loving you, I can't be selfish, love is dedication and sacrifice. I am a man who has nothing, I can give you nothing but this life, if you do not give up, I am willing to live and die with you. But I hope you can have a brilliant future and a happy home. Bai Linglin loves you, from the first time I saw her mention you, I knew that I knew that I was relieved to have her guarding you and loving you. I know that you are an open-minded person, and one day maybe you will let go of your obsession with me, and then I think I will not be sad, I will be happy, I will bless you, no matter where I am, my greatest wish is only to hope that you are happy.
