Chapter 53: The East Wind Makes Another Ruthless Plan (1)
The summer nights were quiet and the house was stuffy. Chu Yunxi, who was not sleepy, opened the window after www.biquge.info the pen, fun and pavilion, and saw that the moonlight on the corridor was like frost, the wind was like water, and the scenery was quiet, so he couldn't help but push the door out.
Dressed in a white-gauze nightgown with a collar and a fan in her hand, she slowly walked into the cloister.
In the curved pond by the cloister, the carp jumped lightly, the round lotus poured out, the pool water rippled, and there was a layer of clear water waves that were broken by the carp, Chu Yunxi sat down according to the railing, leisurely bathed in the cool breeze, and looked at the bright moon like a round of jade in the sky.
There were two crickets chirping occasionally in the grass, and the frogs by the pond chirped slightly, Chu Yunxi didn't feel noisy, but felt more quiet, with his long hair spread on his arms, and he just fell asleep on the railing.
When she slept soundly, the fan fell to the ground, she opened her eyes, heard the sound of very light footsteps in the corridor, she sat up straight, and was about to turn back, when a dark figure quickly jumped in front of her.
The man stood with his back to his back, she smelled the fragrance on his body, and knew that it was Shi Jiaheng, and she was surprised and had a hint of sweetness.
He kept smiling faintly and sat down next to her, Chu Yunxi picked up the fan and grabbed the handle of the fan and couldn't help fiddling, and whispered: "Why are you here?" ”
He smiled as softly as moonlight, dropping a small bag in his hand in front of her eyes. She smiled in surprise and took it open, and the sugar inside was rich. With a gleam of joy in her eyes, she picked up a peanut halva and put it in her mouth, it was crispy and crispy, she looked up and smiled sweetly, and also picked one up and put it in his mouth.
He raised his hand to wipe a few grains of pond slag from her mouth, she held his hand with her backhand and put it in her palm, and said eagerly: "Don't be dangerous in the future, come at night, if you are bumped into, how can you get out." ”
Shi Jiaheng shook hands with her and chuckled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I know it's inconvenient for you to come out, so I came to see you." Don't worry, at that time, the terrain of the garden was very clear when you and I explored at night, and no one would find out. He picked up another halva and put it in her mouth, smiled and stroked her peachy cheek, and whispered, "The halva I promised to give you, I will deliver it to you myself." ”
Chu Yunxi smiled shyly and lowered his head.
The bright moon and stars were light, and the **-like moonlight poured on the two of them, he stretched out his arm and put his arm around her shoulder, and his palm fell on her clothes, which was cool and cool. He took her in his arms lovingly, and asked with concern, "Why don't you go into the house and fall asleep, but don't be greedy and catch a cold." ”
Chu Yunxi snuggled against his chest as if he was drunk, and said, "It's okay, I'm much better now." ”
Shi Jiaheng helped her up, looked her up and down by the moonlight, her face was as bright as spring dawn, her pulse was gentle, her breathing was smooth, and she pinched her arm through her clothes, which was much smoother than before, and it was not like she was a human bone before, and she couldn't help but say happily: "It seems to be fatter than before." ”
Chu Yunxi smiled shyly, wrapped his arms around his waist again, fell into his arms, and sighed with peace of mind.
Shi Jiaheng sniffed the refreshing fragrance of flowers in her hair with satisfaction, and whispered intoxicatedly: "I came to tell you something." In a few days, I want to go to the house to ask for a kiss. ”
Chu Yunxi sighed wistfully: "I'm afraid that the crown princess won't agree easily." ”
Shi Jiaheng stroked her back confidently and said: "You don't have to worry too much, Zheng Yu is dead, although King Dingshan still has several sons, they are all younger than you, and she is in vain in the calculation of marrying with the Zheng family." Although my Shi family is not as good as the Zheng family, who was born in the royal family of the previous dynasty, they hold the military power in the end. If you and I get married, the entire Shi family will become a strong backing for the prince, which is beneficial and harmless, and she will agree. ”
Chu Yunxi raised a pair of watery eyes, and his bright eyes flashed: "I don't want you to do something against your will for me." I don't want you to be hindered because of me. ”
Shi Jiaheng lowered her head and stared at her gentle and affectionate gaze, and her heart was moved: "Silly girl, you think too much." After the crown prince ascended the throne, your sister is the mother of the country, but the world is in the heart, and the officials obey the orders, we naturally have to obey the orders of His Royal Highness, if I don't marry you home early, I won't be able to climb high. I just want to ask you, have you thought about it? ”
Chu Yunxi smiled lightly, and a thousand words turned into speechlessness at this moment.
The night is as cool as water, and you can sit and watch the morning glory Vega.
The deeper the night, the cooler the wind, with Shi Jiaheng by his side, Chu Yunxi can always be very relieved, his warm embrace warmed her body, but also warmed her heart, she fell asleep, her delicate face was flushed crimson, like a baby's pure sleeping face, like the water hibiscus in the pond on a summer night, it is the most innocent beauty in the world.
Shi Jiaheng wanted to hug her from the dead of night to the morning light, as if she was sitting in the courtyard with deep grass and trees to welcome the early sun. He knew that this secret dream buried in his heart was about to come true, and he used patience and care to cover the cruel ice shell of reality step by step, so that the frozen love could break out of the shell, and he was so full of joy to embrace the happiness in his arms.
He gently picked up Chu Yunxi, who had fallen asleep, pushed the door into the house with his feet, and put her on the bed, her body touched the soft bed, and she turned over comfortably. He pulled a thin blanket over her, sat on the edge of the bed and stared quietly for a while, listening to the sound of drumming outside, he leaned down, brushed the hair from her forehead, and gently dropped a kiss, and then reluctantly raised his feet and went out of the house.
He walked on the verandah in a reluctant, and he couldn't help but bump into Lu Yan who was getting up at night. She could see clearly in the moonlight, and whispered in horror: "Shi Gongzi? ”
Shi Jiaheng hurriedly silenced her, and hurriedly explained: "Shhh I'm just here to see your young lady, nothing else. ”
Lu Yan understood, and didn't ask much to delay him from leaving the house, he jumped off the porch and disappeared into the bushes. When I was about to get out of the yard, I suddenly heard a sonorous and rapid guzheng music from an attic in the southwest, the sound of the zither was crisp and like gurgling water, the middle section was agitated like a waterfall and a dangerous beach, and the rear section was even more rapid battlefield war drums, urging the army to fight. He listened intently for a while, and felt that his spirits were uplifted, and he only hated that he could not hold his sword and dance with the sound, and he looked at the place where the music began, and suddenly his heart jumped sharply, and he jumped out of the courtyard quickly.
Early in the morning, Lu Yan brought breakfast and knocked on Chu Yunxi's door. Chu Yunxi got out of bed briskly and opened the door for her. Her joy was palpable, and she just laughed when she looked at her.
Chu Yunxi had a smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which showed that she was in a happy mood, took the food in her hand, and asked funnyly, "Why are you so happy early in the morning." Could it be that you have found gold? ”
Lu Yan smiled meaningfully, closed the door with her, put her shoulder on her and said, "What is there to be happy about finding gold, I saw a big live treasure in the yard last night." ”
"What baby?" Chu Yunxi asked curiously, seeing that her eyes were ambiguous, she suddenly understood, her cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "Why can't I understand what you say." ”
"Now I know I'm ashamed." Lu Yan said happily.
Chu Yunxi sneered, sat down with a crooked body, covered his face with a handkerchief, and complained, "That's why your sister is not serious first, and she says something unashamed in my ear all day long." ”
Lu Yan was pleasantly surprised, quickly sat down beside her, and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter with you, what did he tell you yesterday?" I know that Shi Gongzi's personality must just look at you, talk to you and leave. Did he tell you anything important? Did he say when he would marry you? ”
Chu Yunxi smiled and deliberately made her anxious, and only bowed her head for a long time and said, "He said that he would come to propose marriage in a few days, you can rest assured." ”
"Amitabha." Lu Yan put her hands together and sighed, and after a while, she thanked the gods and Buddhas in the sky, causing Chu Yunxi to laugh constantly. She couldn't help but say happily: "Tomorrow, I will go to the temple to make a vow, and I will definitely tell my wife the good news." And there's more...... In a few days, let's find an excuse to go out and meet Aunt Luochun, so that she will be happy and happy. ”
At the mention of Luochun, Chu Yunxi's mood suddenly fell: "Chun's condition seems to be getting more and more serious, and she is also working hard, so when she goes, she must buy more food she likes to eat and send it over." In the past, I was also ignorant, and I could only see my own sadness in front of me, but you must know that you and I have a lot of worries and concerns, and if I can start a family and want to come to spring, I can go with peace of mind. ”
Lu Yan sighed bitterly: "You have finally figured it out, and you also understand that only if you are happy can we live a comfortable life." Now it's really bitter, or it's very sweet. God has made us create all these years of sin, and it is time for us to live two good days. ”
Chu Yunxi looked at her hopeful face and nodded with a smile.
Five days later, Mrs. Shi personally came to the door to take her son to the mansion to propose marriage, and Lu Yan and Yan Qingshuang were excited to hide behind the screen and eavesdrop.
The eldest lady Lu received them ceremoniously, she looked at the formation, and her heart was clear, she thought that the object of the Shi family's proposal in the mansion was Shangguan Xueyu, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Shi mentioned Chu Yunxi in one mouth.
Lu Shi was a little happy in his heart. Although she hated Bai Qiao very much, it was mostly because of her husband's love for her and indifference to herself, but since Chu Xiaolian replaced Chu Yilian, the almost ruthless snub of Bai Qiao also made her addicted to revenge, and then as soon as Bai Qiao died, these resentments that were originally not hatred and hatred gradually disappeared. After all, the two used to serve the same husband, and occasionally she could recall her in some quiet corners of the courtyard.
Chu Yilian, Jiang Mulan and Bai Qiao passed away one after another, Chu Yunlian married into the palace, making her later life more and more lonely, sometimes the rain falls at dusk, she even misses these people she used to hate very much, if they are still alive, at least they can sit and gossip and taste tea. Once a person gets old, the youthful vigor and competitiveness of his youth will gradually fade, and those things that originally made his mind difficult to calm and intolerable things have gradually been smoothed out by time, becoming acceptable and becoming much more peaceful.
She has never liked Chu Yunxi and Chu Yunyi in her heart, but at least they are her husband's blood and blood, and they are half of her daughters. And that Shangguan Xueyu is just a righteous daughter of unknown origin in the end, and she is bold and decently befriending celebrities, after all, she is not as stable and self-sustaining as the Chu sisters who go deep into the simplicity. Even if there were some random rumors outside, they were much less and cleaner than the rumors about Shangguan Xueyu. Only the real Chu bloodline is worthy of the son of the Shang Shi family, which the Lu family still insists on.
So this proposal went unexpectedly smoothly, and the two almost hit it off.
This made Wan Ting, who was waiting on the side, angry at Wan Ting, she gritted her teeth and looked at the scene of the two ladies seeing each other, and then turned her head to look at the Ruyu Gongzi who had been smiling silently, and was so angry that she scolded Chu Yunxi, the fox spirit, and the old fool of the Lu family, seventeen or eighteen times.
Yan Qingshuang and Lu Yan saw Lu nodding behind the screen, endured the ecstasy in their hearts, and hurriedly ran back to report the news. Chu Yunxi was restless in the room, and when he saw the two of them coming back, he didn't want to open his mouth to ask, but only looked at them expectantly with a pair of misty eyes.
Lu Yan ran over, hugged her, and whimpered: "Madame bless, it's done!" ”
Chu Yunxi bit his lower lip, his face was crimson, and he was sad and happy for a moment.
Yan Qingshuang also hugged the shoulders of the two of them, and said happily: "It's okay now, when you pass the door, my task will be completed." I'll write to your eldest brother in a moment, and when the wedding date is set, I'll pick him up and attend your wedding." ”
The three of them were in a frenzied joy, and they did not hear the sound of soft footsteps on the porch, but they knew that the man approached, and knocked three times on the doorframe before they turned back.
Chu Yunyi's face, which had always been pale and colorless, was also a little more crimson today, which seemed to be caused by joy. She covered her handkerchief, coughed a few times, a thin layer of sweat floated on her forehead, and the girl behind her tiptoed to stroke her back.
She didn't come in and just stood outside the door, only looked at Chu Yunxi's somewhat vigilant eyes, and said with a hint of loneliness in her joy: "I just passed by, I heard you talking, and I also heard the maids in the courtyard mention that the Shi family is here." Congratulations, Fourth Sister. ”
Chu Yunxi bowed slightly, and said politely: "Thank you." ”
She didn't even say the polite words of inviting Chu Yunyi into the house for tea, which was the most obvious eviction order. She naturally understood the rejection in the other party's words, and after saying goodbye, she turned around and left with the maid.
She leaned against the maid and staggered down the steps, Chu Yunxi looked at her back, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Her second sister is only willing to go out when the eldest sister is called in person. Her house is in the most remote part of the yard, so she must have come here specially because she happened to pass by. Her body is now so weak that she can't even get down the stairs. She couldn't bear it, chased to the door, and said loudly: "Second sister." ”
Chu Yunyi's body trembled, and he slowly turned around.
Chu Yunxi smiled sincerely at her: "You have to take care of your body and be careful of the steps." ”
Chu Yunyi nodded, raised her veil, and smiled at her: "Come into the house quickly, it's hot outside, be careful about heat stroke." ”
But Chu Yunxi didn't move, only stood by the door, and the two looked at each other silently for a moment. In order to hide the sad tears in her eyes, Chu Yunyi turned her head first, leaving her with only a stumbling back.
