Chapter Eighty-Four: Farewell
This night was as beautiful as a dream, and at dawn, Lin Su woke up Liu Yanzhi and whispered in his ear: "If you don't leave the maid, you will go upstairs." β
"Got it, I'll go." Liu Yan straightened up and dressed, and Lin Su helped him button the buckle on the horse coat, with a somewhat resentful expression.
"You don't want me to go, do you, or come back later." Liu Yan picked up Lin Su's chin and wanted to make a joke, but found that she had tears on her face.
"Don't come, don't come, you shouldn't have succeeded tonight." Lin Su sobbed, "Let others know, you have to poke your backbone, anyway, you're about to get married, so you can't wait a few days." β
Liu Yanzhi was silent for a while, premarital sex is common in modern times, but in the late Qing Dynasty, it was against the mainstream morality of society, he decided to respect Lin Su's opinion and wait until the wedding day to see you again.
He put on his clothes and left quietly in the darkness before dawn, Lin Su looked at the back of his sweetheart and disappeared at the end of the roof, his heart was full of sweet melancholy, sweet was that he finally married a wishful Langjun, and the melancholy was that Langjun was mysterious and of unknown origin, and suddenly she thought of the third lady of the Gao family in the Journey to the West, the old man Zhuang Gao Jia, who recruited Zhu Bajie, this Liu Yanzhi will not become a black fat man in the future, thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and fell asleep.
Liu Yanzhi rested in the pavilion outside the city that night, tossed and turned all night, entered the city early the next day, first went to the money village to exchange the village ticket for cash, 1,500 taels of silver is not a small amount, the money bank shopkeeper helped him exchange a hundred eagle oceans, 100 copper yuan, and the rest was exchanged for a small amount of bank tickets, which were used for large transactions, and it was convenient to carry.
According to the concept of Chinese in the 21st century, the prerequisites for marriage are a house and a car, Liu Yan is directly limited by this thinking, subconsciously thinks that he should buy these two things first, he is not familiar with the real estate market in Omi Province, and he can't find the so-called real estate agency, but the ancient people have their own wisdom of the ancient people, the tea house in the city is the distribution center of various transaction information, buying and selling houses and fields and recruiting maids and nurses are carried out in different tea houses, which is the so-called tooth shop, Liu Yan is straightforward, It took a cup of tea to settle the three-entry courtyard in the prime area of the city, paid the deposit, and only waited to pay the deed after viewing the house.
The house is bought, the next step is the car, there is a mule and horse market in the city, there are also sedan chairs, Mrs. travel naturally has to take a sedan chair, he spent a morning, picked a good horse for himself, and bought a small sedan chair for Lin Su to carry the two, the sedan chair is called the coolie is called the bar fast, and the housekeeper, the old mother, the cook, the porter, these people are the same, can be found in the tooth shop, as for the lady's personal maid, Liu Yanzhi will not consider it for the time being, and wait for time to find Xiaocui back.
After finishing these, he went to the tailor shop to order new clothes, summer clothes, winter clothes, spring and autumn clothes, hats, boots, and scarves, all of which were custom-made, and the owner of the tailor shop saw that he was a big customer, and personally took a soft ruler to measure his size, accosted him a few words, and asked the guest officer if he wanted to get married.
"Yes, I'm going to get married." Liu Yanzhi said happily.
"Congratulations, guest officer." The boss smiled and complimented, "People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the guest officers look different in spirit, don't you come to a top hat?" Seriously made in the UK, Omi Prefecture is popular for this, and now who still wears a melon skin hat. β
"You still dare to sell foreign goods?" Liu Yanzhi quipped, "I'm not afraid that the Boxers will burn down your shop." β
"That was a few months ago, and now who dares, Governor Wei has been dismissed from his post and investigated, and I heard that the foreigners have gone to Taiyuan Mansion." The more the boss spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally sighed and said, "This Great Qing Kingdom, it's going to be over." β
Liu Yan paid the deposit, made an appointment to pick up the clothes after half a month, ate out at noon, went to see the house in the afternoon, basically finalized, and went to prepare the dowry.
Go back to the pavilion at night to rest, all night is a strange dream, early in the morning, Liu Yanzhi found that the right eyelid always jumps, he entered the city without eating breakfast, and when he came to the vicinity of the Yamen of the Domain, he found that something was wrong, the air was filled with a scorched smell, and there were still large patches of stagnant water on the ground, and when he got closer, the back house of the Yamen was burned into ruins, and the charred black pillars were still standing, but the building had collapsed.
An ominous premonition came to mind, and Liu Yan broke in and found the old housekeeper to ask what happened last night.
"Walk the water, Miss she ......" The housekeeper was in tears and choked up.
Liu Yanzhi was dizzy for a while, fate played a cruel joke on himself, he planned to get married, his daughter-in-law was gone, he asked to see Lin Su for the last time, the old housekeeper did not dare to call the shots, and told Lin Liangtai, although the adult was heartbroken, but he was still very sensible, and persuaded him: "Virtuous nephew, Su Su's body has been detained, so don't bother her anymore." β
Having said that, but Liu Yanzhi had great doubts about Lin Su's sudden death, and no one could stop him from seeing Miss Lin for the last time, Lin Huaiyuan couldn't resist him, so he had to send someone to take him to the mourning hall.
Lin Su's body has been put into a coffin, the mourning hall was hastily arranged, a plain white, bleak wind and cold rain, Lin Su's spiritual position was placed on the machine, Liu Yanzhi personally lifted the coffin lid, lying inside was a charred corpse with an indistinguishable face, the tragic state of the black deformation reminded him of the turn of spring and summer that year, the soldiers who were poured gasoline on the rioters and burned on the overpass.
Liu Yanzhi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, covered the coffin, put on a stick of incense, turned around and went out, and the housekeeper came to meet him, holding a vermilion lacquer tray in his hand, covered with a red cloth.
"Liu Yishi go slowly, this is a coil given to you by my master." The old butler presented the tray, Liu Yan tore off the red cloth, and the silver dollars wrapped in a sealed paper were neat.
As soon as his daughter died, he couldn't wait to give an eviction order, which showed that Lin Huaiyuan was not very optimistic about his son-in-law, Liu Yanzhi sneered, but still took the tray and pocketed the silver dollar.
"Bring a message to your master, just say I'm leaving, please take care of him." After Liu Yan finished speaking, he hurried away.
In the attic in the distance, Lin Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and waved at the old housekeeper, who hurriedly walked into the mourning hall and changed a spirit card, and the wooden sign read, "The position of Liu Yanzhi, the sixth-grade blue feather guard of the Great Qing Collar Guard's Mansion." β
After a while, Lin Su, who was full of plain clothes, was helped into the mourning hall by two maids, the tears on his face were not dry, he sat down and burned a few pieces of yellow paper, Lin Liantai and the second aunt appeared, and persuaded her daughter to open more, people can't be resurrected after death, and life has to go on.
"Dad, did you send someone to set the fire?" Lin Su suddenly raised his head and asked.
"You kid, how could my father do that kind of thing, it was Liu Yanzhi who got drunk and knocked over the oil lamp and burned himself to death, but it's a pity that his martial arts are world-renowned, and he can't compete with water and fire." Lin Huaiyuan's expression was very sad, "Susu, how can my father not be heartbroken, Yan went straight, not only did our Lin family lose a good son-in-law, but the Qing Dynasty also lost a pillar of talent." β
"I don't believe it." Lin Su shook his head, "He won't be burned to death, I want to see the corpse!" β
"Kid, don't look at it, it's all burned into charcoal." Lin Huaiyuan persuaded.
"I must see it." Lin Su was very resolute, "Otherwise, I will be killed by a headbutt, which will be considered a martyr." β
Lin Huaiyuan couldn't resist his daughter, paced to the side, waved his hand in distraction, and the two servants lifted the coffin lid, Lin Su was not afraid at all, and stepped forward to check, what she paid attention to was the hand of the corpse, Liu Yanzhi was wearing a jade wrench on his finger, but there was no on this corpse.
"This is not Liu Yanzhi." Lin Su turned his head and sneered, "Daddy, you don't have to worry about cheating. β
"Ridiculous!" Lin Huaiyuan was furious, "You kid, are you crazy, come on, take the young lady down." β
Lin Su was dragged down by two sturdy servants, and the housekeeper came over and said, "Master, just in case, I think it's still ......."
"Send the young lady back to her hometown in Hunan overnight." Lin Huaiyuan immediately said, "That surnamed Liu's means are very good, if he finds out the truth, he will never give up." β
"And the funeral?" The butler hesitated.
"Do it!" Lin Huaiyuan almost gritted his teeth and said, Originally, he also planned to marry his daughter to Governor Wen's son, and the two families would marry Qin and Jin, but after careful consideration, he decided to do a full set of dramas and completely deceive Liu Yanzhi, so as not to worry about the future.
Liu Yanzhi didn't leave, he waited near the Yamen of Fantai, and it was not until he witnessed the completion of the funeral and Lin Su's name engraved on the tombstone that he was sure that his fiancΓ©e was really gone.
The autumn rain continued, in the cemetery outside the city of Jinjiang, Liu Yan stood in front of Lin Su's tomb with a bouquet of jasmine in his hand, according to the rules, the daughter who was not out of the pavilion could not enter the ancestral grave, so Miss Lin's body was not pulled back to her hometown in Hunan, but was buried in the nearby river, and the stele was washed clean by the rain, cold as Liu Yanzhi's mood.
"Susu, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you in the future." Liu Yanzhi said silently, and stood in the rain for a long time before leaving.
He was going to Shanghai, to the United States by boat, to complete his mission.
β¦β¦
Three months later, on the west coast of the United States, in the port of San Francisco, a ship from across the ocean docked, and passengers of all colors lined up to disembark with their luggage, including Liu Yanzhi, who was dressed in a Western dress and stood out among a group of Chinese workers with dishes.
The port of San Francisco under the winter sun is a prosperous scene, Liu Yan squinted at the bustling crowd, he felt like a lonely hunter, coming to a strange jungle.
George. Cunningham, where the hell are you.
Suddenly, there was a shout in the distance: "George, George~~"
Liu Yan looked straight at the pergola of the tower, and by the dock, a man in a U.S. Army uniform was hugging the bearded passengers who came down from the boat, and the passengers laughed and said, "George, I didn't expect you to pick me up, is Susan okay?" β
"Susan is very nice, she looks at the announcement of the arrival date of the cruise ship every day." The officer helped the passenger lift the suitcase, and the two got into a carriage.
Liu Yanzhi's heart began to beat wildly, and his sixth sense told him that this officer was his prey. Captain Cunningham.
