The weather is getting hotter, the saplings in the courtyard have sprouted new branches and new leaves, the green leaves hang low, the shy flowers buried in the branches and leaves quietly bloom, provoke the warbler to stop, the red claws lightly kick the heart of the flower, the flowers are delicate and weak and fall on the ground as if laying a layer of gorgeous beauty.

This cramped and dilapidated courtyard also has such a view, which shows that everything has its own beauty.

Since moving here, Chen Siyu often sits quietly under the eaves at the door and looks at the yard quietly. She is really much quieter than before, often in a daze, and her speech is not as clever and delicate as before, but she has more feelings about the hardships of the world, and the calmness and growth after the baptism of the years.

She handed over ninety percent of the Chen family's property to the treasury as a ransom to redeem Chen Zhen, but it was under the banner of sympathy for the country and sharing worries for the monarch, and then other wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan who saw through the emperor's intentions also took the Chen family as a warning to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters.

After tossing for more than a month, Shi Jiaheng finally brought out a good news from the palace, Dali Temple has written that Chen Zhen and Gu Chaomin conspired to find no evidence, and should be acquitted. It was such a brief message that made her red and thin, and she couldn't sleep well, and when the news she had been waiting for for her day and night finally reached her ears, she didn't feel resentment, but only gratitude. At that time, she understood more that gold and silver and glory and wealth could not be exchanged for family affection.

Ten days later, the imperial decree was issued, and Chen En would be released in seven days, although at the cost of the Chen family's transformation from a huge wealth in Jiangnan to poverty. As for Gu Chaomin's verdict has not yet been issued, he is still a suspect who may be guilty of a serious crime, and Chen Zhen's release does not mean the end of this case. But as far as Gu Chaomin is concerned, he has been with him for almost his entire life. Chen Zhen has a granddaughter who misses him and loves him waiting for him, but Gu Chaomin has nothing, waiting for him will be his father's ruthless contempt and the smug ridicule of the clansmen, his life is like a deformed child who died early, and he died and was injured when he lived.

Lin Risheng's joy exceeded Gu Mengying's imagination, and it also deepened her worries. What she is afraid of is not that Chen Siyu marries into the Lin Mansion and occupies her position, and what she is afraid of is not that she wants to share a husband's grievances with others, what she is really afraid of is that she may never cast a shadow in her husband's heart.

On the day Chen Zhen was released, Lin Risheng deliberately went to the Hanlin Academy to take leave, and then hurried to the south of the city, but Chen Siyu was even more anxious than him, and left early in the morning. He couldn't ride after her again, but he met her halfway through.

She was carrying something in her hand, as if she was walking back, her expression was also very relaxed, and she even had a rare trace of leisure, a kind of relaxation for the rest of her life. He dismounted, and she stood by with a smile on her face. She will no longer smile and happily run over like a rabbit to hug his arm, Lin Risheng, Lin Risheng called his name so sweetly, he thought regretfully.

She just stood at him from a distance, seemingly close but distant, and the smile that was difficult to reach the depths of her heart was like a floating shadow, floating faintly on her somewhat distracted face.

But the joy of meeting quickly diluted the slight loss, and now Lin Risheng only felt very satisfied to see her, he led the horse happily, and his words were full of joy: "Siyu, I went to look for you just now, and Sister Hongye said that you were not there." Let's go, I'll accompany you to pick up grandpa now. ”

Chen Siyu smiled lightly and waved his hand: "No need, grandpa has been borrowed, and Uncle Chen Hong will accompany him back to Fuchun's hometown first." There are still some remaining accounts to be dealt with in the silk shop here, and I will leave for my hometown about the day after tomorrow, and I will meet you on the street as a farewell. ”

Hearing the farewell, Lin Risheng suddenly fell silent, the smile on his face and the joy in his heart also froze, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence from his stiff mouth: "You're leaving so soon?" ”

Chen Siyu's expression did not change in the slightest, and he was ready to be separated from him forever, and nodded lightly, "Yes." ”

Lin Risheng didn't come to his senses and looked at her steadily. She didn't speak, her eyes lowered and waited silently for his long psychological transition, and the two stood on the street for a long time, and the pedestrians hurried past them and left in a hurry, as if they were also passers-by in each other's lives, and eventually they would pass by like strange pedestrians on the street.

The long silence is a monologue that shakes in the heart. Chic is a very high realm in deep feelings, Lin Risheng has not yet cultivated home, otherwise he would have blessed her generously, and he would never continue to find excuses to delay: "Then let me go to the Hanlin Academy for a long vacation and send you." ”

Chen Siyu politely refused with a little embarrassment: "No need, don't worry, it's actually ......"

In the distance, a carriage pulled up to the side of the road, and a man in the carriage lifted the curtain and shouted her name in Mandarin with a strong southern accent.

His voice alarmed the passers-by, and everyone involuntarily looked at the carriage.

Chen Siyu turned his head to him in a panic and responded loudly: "Here, wait for me." The man grinned at her voice and turned back into the car. She hurriedly raised her foot to walk aisle, "Lin Risheng, I'm leaving." ”

Although the distance was far away, Lin Risheng could still confirm that this man was a stranger he had never met, he was completely stunned, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is he?" ”

Chen Siyu forced himself to smile naturally, and his tone was as calm as possible: "He is Xiao Juyu, the eldest son of the Xiao family in Lingnan, he sent me here when I came, his family can't be compared with your family, he didn't be the aunt of the concubine, and he didn't be the cousin of the prince." He went to Beijing this time to donate a small official in his hometown, and later donated a county order in our hometown. It's not that he wants to have the right to make money, just to ask for an official background. The work was done, and he just dropped me off on the way. I'm leaving, Lin Risheng, you...... Take care, Dream Shadow is a good wife, and there is no need to say more about blessings, you will be happy. ”

"Okay." Lin Risheng didn't know how he said this word, he used a very hypocritical smile to hide the collapse of his heart, he nodded again and again, and stepped back step by step as if lazy, "You also take care, take care." After saying this, he fled, and led his horse away without looking back, pushing aside the more and more pedestrians who had gathered behind him.

He led the horse along the road in a daze, regardless of the path, and walked when he saw the road, and did not apologize when he bumped into people, and returned the same way when he reached a dead end, until the sky became gloomy, and the horse was dissatisfied with his headless flies, and pulled it around the city like a headless fly, and desperately pulled the reins in his hand to remind him that it was tired and hungry, and needed to rest.

Lin Risheng felt that his legs were sore and numb, shaking like wheat straw in the wind, and he sat down on the stone steps at the door behind him casually, his heart was numb.

Frustrated, he forgot the rules of the night curfew in Chang'an City, so he sat on the side of the road on the street, did not hide or hide, and waited for the soldiers patrolling the city to catch him. Although the curfew is not as strict as before, at least it will not kill people who are caught wandering on the street at night, but detention and interrogation are indispensable, so Lin Risheng was arrested by the soldiers, but when his identity was revealed, the soldiers immediately sent him home politely.

When he got home, Gu Mengying diligently helped him change his clothes and served him food and food, but he had a dull face and fell on the bed, as if he had been captured by a ghost, and lay with his back to her. At first she thought he was tired, but she was a little worried that he had been lying motionless all day. She tried to talk to him, but he didn't move, told him to eat, and he didn't move, until she touched the moist liquid on his face, and she bit her lip and cried silently and sadly.

This time, she hurriedly went to see Chen Siyu, and she didn't have the delicate makeup and indifference of the last time, but the helplessness of panicking and having nothing to do. She cried bitterly and hugged Chen Siyu's legs, begging her to see her husband, that kind of compromise, that kind of love was deep, even Chen Siyu felt the cruelty of love.

"Miss Chen, I beg you, go and meet him."

"No, I'm not going to see him. We've long since broken off, I made it clear last time. Mrs. Lin, why are you so confused. She firmly refused.

"Miss Chen, how can you be so ruthless. Even if you are really ruthless to him, as a friend, as a cousin, you should go and say hello, you left so quietly, completely ignoring his life or death, how can you feel at ease? Gu Mengying asked and cried.

Chen Siyu was entangled by her and had no choice, and finally compromised and sighed: "You shouldn't come, he is your husband, what is it if you do this." Well, I'll go see him, and then I'll leave and return to my hometown, and I'll never set foot in Chang'an again. ”

Such a concession had already made Gu Mengying very grateful, and she actually smiled with tears on her face. Chen Siyu felt that she was probably the stupidest and most stupid woman she knew.

She pulled Chen Siyu out with a smile, but Chen Siyu stopped her, and after saying a few words in her ear, she nodded and left in the carriage first.

Chen Siyu turned around and went back to the house, staring at the brilliant sunset burning in the sky, wishing that the sunset was really like a flame rolling down and burning away this troubles and sorrows.

When she arrived at the edge of the smoke and dew pool, Lin Risheng had been waiting under the green willows by the pool for a long time. The water by the pool is misty, the flowers and plants in the pond reflect each other, the golden willows are swaying, and the colorful boats are rippling. There are occasional girls on the Hongqiao, Qiluo Chunjiao, sometimes there are silk and bamboo around the ears, melodious and ethereal, pedestrians strolling around the pool as if walking in the smoke, in Penglai Qiong Island.

It's a pity that the two of them don't have the mood to swim in the lake, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is also sad in the eyes of the two. In the past, there were two people who couldn't finish talking, but now it has become a problem to even speak first. Lin Risheng's heart flashed with thousands of thoughts, until Chen Siyu ruthlessly and directly shattered all his lucky thoughts: "I'm going to get married." ”

Lin Risheng's cheeks were white and bloodless: "I know, you're going to marry Xiao Ju, right?" ”

"Yes." Chen Siyu craned her neck, and she said fiercely, staring into his eyes with a determination that bordered on revenge.

Lin Risheng was burned by her burning gaze, he took a step back and said with a miserable smile: "Siyu, I finally tasted the taste of your heartbreak at the beginning, is this retribution?" ”

Chen Siyu suddenly laughed out loud and said ruthlessly: "Yes, God has finally opened his eyes, if it hurts, we should hurt together, there is no reason for me to be sad alone." ”

Lin Risheng clutched his undulating chest and said indiscriminately: "I don't know when it became like this." I had never taken my children's private feelings to heart before, I was only thinking about curing the sick and saving people, and I didn't understand anything. Until one day you told me that you like me and want to marry me. At that time, I couldn't think of anything but shock. I've been like this since I was a child, except for studying medicine, I'm stupid at everything, I'm very slow to react, and I don't know when my feelings for you took root. ”

He patted his head in annoyance: "I should be happy that you want to get married, bless you." But I can't control my heart, it hurts like a knife. ”

He grabbed her shoulders hard and asked dejectedly, "You tell me what to do, you can save me, Siyu." ”

Chen Siyu smiled sadly and said, "Okay, I'll save you." With that, she raised her hand and slapped him, knocking him out.

She grabbed him by the collar, pushed him hard, and shouted, "Wake up, Lin Risheng." Be sober, are you sober? Do not forget that you are a man with a wife, and your wife, who has suffered humiliation and fear for you, has fallen on her knees before me and begged me to stay and save her husband. She's so good, why can't you see it? Why are you always like this, you don't know how to cherish what is in front of you, and when you lose it and your fate is exhausted, what's the use of your sadness and pain. ”

She was emotional, tears welled up in her eyes, and she clinged to his shoulders weakly, muttering, "It's too late to say this now, cherish your wife well." That's all for us. ”

Lin Risheng was already crying speechless, and finally the two cried and hugged each other, bidding farewell to their love with tears.

The summer is hot, and the intoxicating flowers all over the city have not been able to keep the rolling wheels of the Chen family.

On the day Chen Siyu left, Chu Yunxi, Yan Qingshuang, Lin Yueyuan and others all went outside the city to see each other off. It was an unusually sunny day, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the residents of the city flocked to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers in droves, but Lin Risheng locked himself in the house sadly.

Gu Mengying didn't bother him, just silently put the food on the table and turned around to leave, and then quietly cried behind his back. Sadly, he also knows that he is selfish, he is like a child with poor self-control but strong responsibility, living a miserable life according to the rules, and occasionally wants to be willful, but he can't get over the guilt in his heart and the harsh criticism of his family, he is powerless to resist and can only take revenge on himself, how can he be one in Gu Mengying's heart, and his torture of himself is actually a punishment for her.

Old Man Gu has been released for many days, but Gu Chaomin's side has not moved. Maybe Gu Chen felt the pressure, and there have been more changes in the court recently, but they were all expected by Shi Jiaheng.

Gu Mengying almost fell ill for her husband and brother for several days. Although her relatives knew that the emperor had set up a game of chess behind her brother's sinking case, no one solved the mystery for her. She was like a lost person walking in a dark well, unable to see the clear blue sky above her head.

After Chen Siyu left, Chu Yunxi also felt more and more confused. Although she had already guessed that their relationship would inevitably end without a problem, she was still confused and lost in her heart. It was as if the confusion that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time wanted to erupt but could not find an exit.

She was depressed in her heart, so she went out for a walk, picked the most secluded and unfamiliar road, avoided the hustle and bustle of all the crowds, sank into her own world, and let herself drift in her mind, not knowing how many years have passed, and not knowing how many troubles there are.

But God's way of waking her up was always rough. The consequence of being distracted was that a basin of water from someone on the side of the road splashed in front of her, and she didn't know how to dodge. So a pair of embroidered shoes and the hem of the dress were almost soaked with vegetable washing water.
