43. Chapter 43
The east room was quiet, and there was a rustling sound on the bed as she pushed the door softly in.
In the moonlight, he stood up, saw that it was her, and did not panic. Lighting the lamp in front of him, he looked at her with a little confusion.
"What's wrong, isn't there something uncomfortable?"
She stood still, a suffocation in her chest that she couldn't say a thousand words. After a while, he laughed first and patted the edge of the bed, "Come and sit." β
She was very obedient and walked meekly. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but put his arms around his waist and his chin resting on his shoulder, "I'm a little scared." β
She has always disliked showing weakness, gritted her teeth, and finally expressed her worries little by little, "I regret it, I shouldn't provoke Yang Ke." Maybe it will be difficult to ride a tiger in the future, and I'm really a little afraid that I won't be able to get rid of him. β
He hugged her tightly, "Do you have to get rid of it?" What he wants you to do is not contrary to your original intention. If you want to take revenge on your own, not only is it not easy, even if it is successful, it is only to solve a personal grievance. In today's political situation, if you have the ability, you should take a long-term view. β
He said slowly, and the warm breath on his body was transmitted to her little by little, with a kind of reassuring power.
After a long time, she raised her eyes to look at him, "You depend on me for everything, you will spoil me." Actually, I've thought about it, maybe I've always been too extreme. β
As the conversation turned, he looked at her puzzled, waiting for her to continue.
"You just talked about the current situation, and now there are many uprisings in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, including rabble and heroes. The court has accumulated disadvantages for too long, and if it continues like this for less than ten years, it will always cause chaos in the world. At that time, the so-called enemy will be punished without having to be stabbed by me. In that case, why should I be so persistent? The so-called many injustices will kill themselves, maybe what I need to do is just wait for a game. β
He looked down at her with a focused expression, "That's the truth, but can you let go of your obsession?" β
Her eyes gradually became restricted, full of indissolvable softness, "Yes!" You've done so much for me, and so can I do for you! Chunjun, I want to be good with you, let's leave here, leave the territory of Great Wei, and go to live the days of the sea and the sky. I don't want to disappoint you, that's what I mean from the heart. β
Her eyes shone brightly, were they impulsive, or were they deliberate? He hesitated a little and hesitated, "I don't need to, what do you do for me......"
She raised her hand, covered his mouth, and shook her head with a smile, "I did it willingly." I thought about it, I don't want the next volume, I won't read a word. He just said that he would leave the capital in the near future and would not return until the beginning of spring next year. Taking advantage of this effort, let's pack up our things and fly away. The territory of Great Wei is so wide, I don't believe he has the ability to find me. Besides, I won't take that next scroll, I haven't learned the kung fu above, so I don't have to work hard for him. β
"It's decided, okay? This is an opportunity given to us by God, and we have to seize it. The more she spoke, the more excited she became, pinching her fingers and counting, "Also, five or six months is enough to prepare." We can also walk and see before deciding where to stay. β
He listened silently, and slowly smiled for a while, "Is it really decided?" β
She snorted, "Chunjun, you said it, if my father and mother have a spirit in the sky, they must also hope that I can live a stable and steady life, and they will hope that I will live well." β
He listened with some emotion, and he turned her cheek and gave her a long kiss on the forehead. After waiting for so long, looking forward to it for so long, she was finally willing to let go, how could she teach him not to be happy.
Relieved and relaxed, she put her two long legs on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a coquettish smile, "I don't want to leave today, your place here is quite spacious, just stay me for one night." β
He laughed without saying a word, then picked her up, gently placed her on the side of the bed, and fell himself down on the pillow.
Her eyes were full of emotion, and she caressed his face, calling over and over again, Chunjun, Chunjun......
"Shen Huan." He replied to her, but took her wandering hand, "Stop, your illness is not yet well." β
Can you endure it all like this? She frowned, "What if she gets better?" Do you have any other excuses, such as that I am not yet fifteen, and that your filial piety has not yet passed? β
"Didn't you say that the living are heavier?"
He looked up and laughed, "That's also a priority, I promised to marry you, as for being so anxious?" I've never seen a lady like you. β
smiled, stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, "It's you who can't run away, I will fall into your hands after all." β
After a peaceful night's sleep and no dreams, Gu Cheng was afraid that the residual poison in her body would not disappear, so he only taught her to recuperate at home, and he still went to school to teach. The two discussed together, but decided to wait for the cool autumn before leaving, first along the canal to see the style of the south of the Yangtze River, and by the way, to find a place to settle down.
The flowers are gone, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for the spring to pass away. Gu Cheng got out of school, and his mood was not affected by the defeat of the flowers, but he was very bright and rushed home with a relaxed step.
Passing through a path outside the school, a soft sedan chair suddenly appeared in front of it. There was a young girl standing beside the sedan chair, who looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
When the girl saw him, she immediately showed a glimmer of surprise, and there was a hint of trepidation in the surprise, and she hesitated slightly for a moment, and then walked up to him.
"Gu Sanye," the girl squatted down and saluted, "I'm sorry for you." β
Gu Cheng stood still, carefully looked at the person in front of him, and bowed in return, "The girl is waiting for me?" β
The girl looked embarrassed and nodded, "It's not me, it's my girl who is waiting for you." She tilted her head sideways and asked, "Gu Ye, should you have forgotten who I am?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again, "No wonder you don't remember, how long has it been." Gu Ye, I am a girl in Fangfu, we met in the rouge shop earlier. β
He suddenly remembered that old incident, and then looked at the person in front of him, and recalled it even more, but her voice was soft and tactful, not as crisp and pungent as she counted herself in the shop that day. Thinking of the embarrassment, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. It turns out that time has passed, and when I recall it, it has a different situation.
The girl didn't understand why joy suddenly appeared in his eyes, she was stunned, and called softly, "Master Gu, can you move, our girl has a few words to say to you." β
Girl? He came back to his senses, it should be the only young lady in the Fang family, his former fiancΓ©e Fang Qiaozhen. He looked at the soft sedan chair, and his heart jumped for no reason, "Miss Fang has something to do with me?" β
The girl lowered her eyes and pulled out a smile, "We girls have been waiting for you for a long time, please be sure to look at your face and listen to what you have to say." β
Speaking quite sadly, he had never been able to bear to be too careless about others, so he pressed down in surprise in his heart and stepped forward more and more. After waiting for a while, seeing that the people in the sedan chair had no intention of coming down, he had no choice but to wave his hands and say, "In the next Gu Cheng, I have come to pay a visit to Miss Fang." β
A young lady in the boudoir was waiting for him here with only a personal girl, and it was somewhat unseemly to say it. He has always been used to thinking about people, and his words are polite and thoughtful, and he is stunned to say as if he came to meet Fang Qiaozhen, so he can be regarded as taking care of the other party's face.
The person in the sedan seemed to move, and let out a soft gasp, "You're here." After a sentence, there was no follow-up.
He felt even more weird, listening to the other party's voice was weak, as if he was holding on to illness. It was inconvenient for him to ask more, and it was inconvenient for him not to answer, so he had to answer, "Yes, I'm here." β
This situation is not embarrassing! Half a day passed, Fang Qiaozhen's voice came out intermittently, "I'm really sorry to teach you to stand outside like this." I...... It's not convenient for me to see you right now, but I have something to say to you, and I've been thinking about it for a long time. β
He couldn't see the other party, so he had to look at the girl standing on the side, and the girl smiled at him sadly, and immediately turned her eyes away.
He had to say again, "Speak, I'll listen." β
"Gu Ye is really polite." Fang Qiaozhen said slowly, speaking slowly, as if she was carefully considering the words, "I haven't seen you for a long time, my wife passed away last year, and I couldn't go to worship because of my illness." I'm so sorry for you, every time I think about it, I only feel ashamed, while you are here today, I apologize to you first. β
It turned out to be for this, he smiled, and said without caring at all, "Miss Fang is polite, her body is important, you don't have to worry too much about these false courtesies." β
"How can it be said that it is a false courtesy, this is my duty. It's even more ashamed to say that my brother went to your house that day, and he must have said a lot of unpleasant things to obstruct you. Don't take it to heart, they are all nonsense, but they are afraid that I will be wronged. But it's too immoral to do so, and it's really unreasonable. Gu Ye, I can't help my wife, I'll wait back...... I'm going to make up for it, definitely. β
She said with great anxiety, eagerness from the bottom of her heart. Gu Cheng didn't understand what this girl's intentions were, but he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he tentatively said, "Miss Fang doesn't need to care about this, and your brother didn't say anything." It's just that the two of them discussed together, so let's say it, and the two families will still be neighbors and friends after that. β
"What, you're still angry?" The person in the sedan car seemed to be in a hurry, raised his voice, and his voice was hoarse, "When you say that, you just refuse to forgive my brother." He's a fool, so why should you be like him? I've said him so many times that he doesn't dare to prevaricate like that. Gu Ye, I, I personally ordered it by your wife. We...... I can afford to wait. Really, I'm not in a hurry at all. I was sick for a few days, and I couldn't let go of it. This is just right, I want to come and tell you in person, I am willing to wait, wait for you to serve, wait for you to be ready, let's ......"
What does this mean? Gu Cheng was silent, and his heart was beating a drum, isn't the marriage contract already dissolved, could it be that she doesn't know? Still refusing to admit it? Why did you suddenly run and say that you were willing to wait for yourself?
He coughed lightly twice, and smiled helplessly, "Miss Fang's words are serious, how dare Gu blame Brother Ling." On that day, both parties agreed that the girl was sick, and it was inevitable that Brother Ling would decide the matter instead. Now that our two families are no longer involved, the girl can rest assured, don't feel guilty. If you talk like that, I'll be even more embarrassed. β
While speaking, I saw the girl waving her hand vigorously at herself, and before the words fell, she heard the person in the sedan car gasp, and her voice became deeper and deeper and hoarse, "Are you really unwilling to understand?" I, what am I going to say, what am I going to do to make up for it...... It's all my fault, I've been sick for more than half a year, and my mind is not clear, so I let them take advantage of the loophole. β
Speaking of this, he suddenly exclaimed, "Master Gu, in the past six months, you won't, you won't have it...... Have a hearty person? β
Gu Cheng's brows furrowed even tighter, and he always felt that this Fang Qiaozhen was strange everywhere, as if he didn't know what had happened in the past six months. Before he could answer, he saw the girl rushing up with an arrow, waving her hand desperately, and said in a low voice, "Don't say it, please." β
He sighed a little unhappily and changed his indifferent tone, "Gu is still in the filial piety period, and he has no intention of thinking about these things." Miss Fang has nothing else to say, Gu still has something, please forgive me for taking a step ahead. β
The person in the sedan chair sighed, but there was a touch of relief in his anxiety, "Don't be upset, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have met you privately like this." What's more, even the face...... I won't show it. But I have a hard time, I was too sick a while ago, and now my face is full of sickness. I'm so afraid that if you see it, you won't like it. In the end, it was already a mosquito humming.
Don't get anywhere, Gu Chengjue, it's all about this, there is really no need to dwell on it anymore, he doesn't know if Fang Qiaozhen is sick or confused, but at least he can't give her hope out of thin air here.
With a cold voice, he said lightly, "The body is important, Miss Fang cherishes it, Gu Mou has taken her leave." β
After speaking, he walked away without looking back. But I heard the people in the sedan chair shouting in a low voice, "Don't ......" is really sad. He heard the sound of the curtain moving behind him, and he looked back almost subconsciously, and when he looked at it, he froze in place.
The flower face is bleak, the eyes are full of sadness, Fang Qiaozhen's face is not as thin as a palm, and her chin is sharpened and pitiful. However, what shocked him the most was that she had a thick cloth belt wrapped around her neck, which looked like a bandage after a heavy injury.
Fang Qiaozhen glanced at him tremblingly, then let go of his hand, and the curtain fell suddenly. He heard her whispering, "I'm sorry to scare you, I'm so ugly......"
Gu Cheng glanced at the girl, turned around and pulled the person aside, and asked, "What's wrong with your girl, is there any injury?" β
The girl nodded with tears in her eyes.
He frowned for a long time, then asked, "What does it have to do with me?" β
The girl lowered her head and hummed softly, "Girl, she refused to dissolve the marriage contract, and she quarreled with the old lady for this matter, and then ...... Just the hanging beam...... Fortunately, it was discovered, and it was almost impossible to save it......"
