59. Chapter 59
He's getting married...... A few words fluttering lightly were no less than a vicious curse, and the head and face were smashed down, and in just an instant, her soul trembled.
Something seemed to shatter in his chest, and with the bleak moonlight in the sky, it fell on the barren land in the wild in late autumn.
It's not that I haven't thought about such a result, but no matter how much I assume it in my heart, no matter how many times I read it, it's still not as real as hearing it with my own ears, and it's still painful.
In the ten days and a half months since she left, she secretly didn't know how many times she had comforted herself, and one day she would still go back to him, because she vaguely knew that he would definitely be waiting for her in the same place. Maybe they won't see each other now, maybe they will be separated by mountains and seas for a while in the future, but as long as that little thought continues, there will still be a constant bond between them.
It's a pity that after hearing that sentence, and thinking about it again, this is probably just a self-healing and comforting statement. When she returns, the king already has a wife, and if he gives an answer lightly and skillfully, he will say no...... Then she could no longer think of what position she could use to ask him to return to her.
In the final analysis, she chose it herself. He saw her so thoroughly, and his words were so suitable, what did he want her to fulfill him again, in fact, she knew in her heart that he just wanted to help her fulfill that obsession in her heart.
She is by no means ignorant, and has even contributed to the fire from beginning to end. That night, she used hatred and resentment to cover up her sadness and nostalgia, relying on his pity for her, and acted awe-inspiring. Perhaps from that moment on, she had already taken the initiative to give him to others.
There was a wind whistling in the wilderness, and the bleak moonlight that blew in her heart was the same as the silver moonlight that fell in the small courtyard of the Gu family, but it was all to illuminate the love tide that was surging in the hearts of infatuated men and women, and there was nowhere to put it.
Gu Cheng woke up from a light sleep, opened his eyes, and reminisced about the face in Fang Cai's dream. Although it was vague and vague, it did not affect him in the slightest to distinguish who it was, and he went around and around, but it was only that one person after all.
It's a pity that she is still so persistent and chasing after her that she appears in his dreams every night, so that her face is right in front of him when he closes his eyes. Sometimes he can't help but wonder if he is crazy, the more quiet and unpopular, the more he doesn't want to fluctuate, the more he entangles with her, it seems endless.
He didn't understand it before, he just missed someone, how could it be unforgettable? It wasn't until early that morning, standing under the window, through a dim light, that he saw her struggling open the door and out of his sight, gradually no longer seeing or hearing. He finally realized that his thoughts were like Gu poison, which would be planted in his heart little by little, integrated into the blood little by little, and then wait until a point when he couldn't ask for it and couldn't let go, it fermented violently, and tactfully extended to the bone marrow of the muscles and veins.
It's just that he knows when the longing will start, but he doesn't know how long it will take to dissipate.
Heng Zhi couldn't sleep, so he simply got up, put on his coat, and walked into the courtyard. There are some things, even if he doesn't think about it, it still doesn't work, there are two rattan chairs under the jujube tree, he sits down, pretends that there is another person next to him, and sits with him like this, he just needs to talk to her casually.
What to talk about? If it were her, there would be a lot of stories about opening and closing. There are anecdotes of rivers and lakes, and there are people with lofty ideals. Because he doesn't have to participate, he can listen with peace of mind. There were some things he really hadn't hidden from her, and he really couldn't agree with those grudges and killings. It is true that this can be regarded as his obsession, but there is nothing he can do, so the only thing he can do is not to force her because of himself.
Her story may not be exhaustive in a few words. His, but it's hard to say. If she asked about what had happened to him these days, he was almost a little helpless to think about it, but he was afraid that no matter how he described it, the result would be ridiculed by her. He laughed back and laughed at the idea of what she might have said to him.
He pondered, a helpless smile gradually appeared on the corner of his lips, and tried to tell her the absurd stories that happened during the day.
At first, it was Fang Jichen who came to him, and he was polite, and his opening remarks were quite gratifying, "Qiaozhen has figured it out at this time, and once people are alive, they will not be so stubborn to admit death." Our wife was relieved. Speaking of which, I would like to thank the third master for his empowerment, your kindness, no matter what others do, I am the first one to keep in my heart. ”
He listened with a smile, feeling a little down-to-earth, and everyone should be happy to have such an ending. It's just that he has intuition, and Fang Jichen still has something to say.
Sure enough, after expressing gratitude, the other party's face gradually showed sadness, and it seemed to be a little unspeakable.
He saw it all in his eyes, and since he couldn't avoid it, he simply asked Fang Jichen not to say anything, but it didn't hurt to say anything.
So a story that originally had nothing to do with him was told: a few days ago, Fang Qiaozhen listened to Gu Cheng's words of consolation, and felt ashamed of his parents, and his karma was too deep, so he vowed to do a good deed every day. Every day, I went to the temple to burn incense and pray, but I didn't want to form a fate because of this - I was inadvertently bumped into by the son of Huang Tongzhi's family in the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, Young Master Huang himself is the record of Zhan Shifu, only twenty-four this year, with a noble family background, young and promising. My wife got sick after a year of marriage. Because he saw Fang Qiaozhen, he has been thinking about her since then, and asked someone to inquire and know that it was the daughter of the Fang family, so he hurriedly asked his wife to come to the door to propose marriage.
The two families are still separated by some doors, but Young Master Huang is marrying a house, which is one layer worse than the original match, which is not in the way. Mrs. Huang loves her son and thinks that as long as the woman's character is passable, the rest is okay. I don't want to, and I don't know which one has a rotten tongue, and I muttered in front of Mrs. Huang about Qiaozhen's engagement from the front and being withdrawn by the other party. And the most taboo thing for Mrs. Huang is that someone said that Fang Qiaozhen liked to marry the person in front of her, because people were unwilling to marry her, she forced her to die, and as a result, the family was restless. When Mrs. Huang heard this, her heart was half cold. turned his head and said to his son, it is useless, people have someone in their hearts, and besides, her family can't recruit such a daughter-in-law who has the scheming of the city government and threatens people with life and death at every turn.
If this is the case, it will be fine. But Young Master Huang is a solid-eyed person, and somehow he fell in love at first sight, and his love is deep-rooted, but he doesn't follow his mother's words, and it makes a lot of trouble. Huang Tong knew that he was disobedient to his mother for a woman, so he locked him up and beat him up, until this time people couldn't get down. But lying on the bed, he still didn't forget to ask the little maid to come to the Fang family to spread the word, saying that he would marry Fang Qiaozhen as his wife in this life, and if he couldn't, he would never marry in this life. He said that he would definitely be able to do it, just ask Fang Qiaozhen to wait for him for a while, and he will definitely be able to find a way to solve this matter.
After Fang Jichen finished speaking, he sighed, and fell silent for a while, just staring at Gu Cheng with his eyes.
The story is not decent, so naturally it will not be told to him in vain. Gu Cheng doesn't have the mind to turn a thousand times, but he has his own thoroughness. This is the Fang family seeing that he has no one to rely on, and wants to let him go again. But right now, he didn't want to take it. So when he finished speaking, he didn't say a word.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Fang Jichen was anxious in his heart, "Third Master, you see this matter is making trouble, I have no face when I talk about it, but I have to beg you with a shy face." What did Qiaozhen kill herself for that day, you know it, she was a steadfast loyal, but she was said to be like that by someone with a heart, a good person, the reputation is not all over! She did such a foolish thing for you, and now it is easy to have a good marriage, you should be a person who is affectionate and righteous, and you should stand up and say a few words. In the end, this matter has to be clarified by you, so that Qiaozhen can be fair. ”
How to clarify it? If you want to build Fang Qiaozhen on the path of a chaste and martyr, you can't say that she really has feelings for herself, so she has to pour dirty water on herself, admit that he regretted her marriage first, and admit that he can't live with the Fang family.
He calmed down and asked patiently, "What do you want me to do?" ”
After a moment, Fang Jichen's face was half red, "You see, in fact, many people on the street know that you are in love with the girl at home...... Otherwise, you can say that it is because there is someone else, so you have to retire from the family. Qiaozhen was also angry at that time, and because she was young and angry, she was trapped by the idea of a good woman and a second husband, so she couldn't think about it for a while, you see ...... like this"
He couldn't help laughing, and cut off Fang Jichen's words, "Do you think that my reputation is bad enough, and I don't miss adding this one more, so I should do whatever I do, right?" ”
After speaking, there was no word for two moments, and Fang Jichen was silent, even if he admitted his words without refutation.
Gu Cheng only felt unbelievable, but the person in front of him was expecting Ai Ai, but he had a firm idea in his heart. Why did they think they would agree, just because Fang Qiaozhen died for him once? From now on, he will be at the mercy of others?
Of course, things will not be so simple, the Fang family attaches so much importance to this family, to put it bluntly, it is still to climb the high branch of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army. He thought of the woman with a beautiful and gentle face, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely for her fate. I don't know if she knows, she seems to have been regarded by her father, brother and family as a stepping stone on the way forward.
He didn't want to be pretty, so he hit the nail on the head, "About that Young Master Huang, does Sister Ling know that there is such a person?" She also wants to do it, willing to fill the house? ”
Fang Jichen's face turned red all of a sudden, thinking that Gu Cheng looked at Heshun, but it was not easy to handle it at all. Such a question is clearly implying that they insist on being a relative regardless of Qiaozhen's feelings, but in fact, they do not hesitate to exchange their sisters for glory.
Yes, even if it is as he says, what is wrong? In life, everyone's hopes and pursuits are different, he cares about fame and fortune, and he is rigid if he has no desire, but their Fang brothers have to climb up step by step, and they still hope to be able to glorify their ancestors in this life. The officialdom is sinister, if there is no help and no help, who knows how long they will have to work hard to get a promotion!
The more he thought about it, the more he hated, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was not at fault, "Third Master, you asked strangely. Qiao Zhen naturally knew it, and she was also impressed by Young Master Huang's infatuation. Don't you think it's time to fulfill a pair of lovers? The world is difficult, and it is not easy to meet someone who treats you sincerely. Compare your heart to your heart, you should all understand. What I said may be detrimental to your reputation, but men are much cheaper in reputation than women! Besides, didn't you say that sooner or later you would have to leave Jingshi? Since you're leaving, whether it's gossip or gossip, it has nothing to do with you. You should be a favor, but it's just a matter of touching the skin up and down, what's so difficult about you? ”
The world in front of Gu Cheng's eyes is really bizarre, but Fang Jichen has even more bizarre things to say, "Third Master, you are a good person, you have been benevolent and righteous since you were a child, you never break your promise to something, and you never owe others a favor. We all know this, and the wife of the family was willing to give you Qiaozhen because you are a benevolent gentleman. In this situation, I am afraid that the well-being of her life is only in your words. As long as you are willing to let go and make an appearance, you will fulfill the rest of her life. You are already willing to give up the next qiē, why bother to bother with those false names, so you missed a woman's life, can you really bear it? ”
It turned out that his benevolence and righteousness suddenly became a shackle that could be used, supplemented by the excuse of human well-being, and thus wanted to bind him firmly.
He stood up and no longer left room to turn around, "I can't help with this favor, say 1,000 to 10,000, I didn't do anything sorry for your family, just do what it should be." There are gods in the first three feet, my Gu family has ancestors, and I Gu Cheng has parents, you can't force me to a dead end. ”
He calmed down and walked around Fang Jichen more and more. After only taking two steps, I suddenly heard a plop behind me. You don't have to look back to know what happened.
The steps still stopped, and he couldn't turn his head, because he couldn't see the weakness and weakness of the seven-foot man's knees, but the sad voice still floated into his ears word by word.
"It's just for Qiaozhen to beg you, you can always think of it - if this family business can't be done again, Qiaozhen's life will really be over. What other family would marry someone like her! For her sake, I beg you to give birth to our family......"
