Follow-up (thirty-one) farewell

When Gu Xuefei walked away from the second floor of Zhenbao Zhai, she couldn't help but glance back, it was here that Lin Dong confessed his love to her, the beauty of that day was still in her mind, but now they have come to an end.

She couldn't bear to open her eyes, quickened the pace of leaving, and didn't let the tears flow again, she had already dried her tears for this relationship.

Gu Jing, who was following behind, saw his sister like this, his mood was unusually heavy, as a brother, he felt very sorry for his sister, and hurriedly grabbed his sister's arm, "Little sister, we will go back now to tell the world that you are not dead, and your wedding with Lin Dong is still ......."

"Brother, I won't look back after doing so much, why are you still saying such things now?" Gu Xuefei said with red eyes, "Brother, you know that I can't go back, and I don't want to hear such words in the future." ”

As soon as the words fell, she slowly pushed away her brother's hand that was holding her arm, and turned around and left without hesitation.

Gu Jing let out a long sigh and quickly followed.

The shopkeeper of Zhenbao Zhai felt that the figure of the woman wearing a cloak in front of him was very familiar, but he couldn't say who it was, so he could only frown and watch the other party push the door out.

As Gu Xuefei stepped into the carriage, a carriage passed by hers.

Suddenly, there was a rapid shout from the carriage, "Stop." ”

When Gu Xuefei heard this, she frowned, and the speed of getting into the carriage accelerated, and when the other party got off the carriage quickly, she happened to see her brother coming, so she whispered, "Brother, let's go quickly." ”

With that, she pulled down the curtain of the carriage.

Gu Jing felt that his sister's attitude was very strange, and when he was about to ask, he happened to see a girl in light blue clothes hurrying not far away, it should be that his sister met an acquaintance, he also hurriedly stepped on the horse and told the coachman, "Go." ”

Kuang Chaoyun saw that the carriage in front of him was leaving, and shouted while speeding up, "Stop, I have something to ask, stop......"

Helplessly, the carriage left very quickly, and she chased behind for a while, but the distance was getting farther and farther, and finally she could only stop helplessly and gasp for breath.

"Girl?" When the maid of Kuang's mansion saw her girl suddenly get off the carriage and chase an inconspicuous carriage, she only felt that her girl's behavior was very strange.

Kuang Chaoyun looked at the carriage that had disappeared far away, her eyebrows were frowning, she just glanced at it, she seemed to see Gu Xuefei, and then she urgently shouted to stop the carriage and catch up to find out, how did she know that the other party would leave so quickly?

Seeing the question in her eldest girl's eyes, she tidied up her messy clothes and said lightly, "It's nothing." ”

It should be that she was dazzled and misunderstood, Gu Xuefei is dead, she saw her coffin stopped in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with her own eyes, how can there be any chance of survival?

"Let's go back, my mother shouldn't be able to wait."

The big girl of Kuangfu didn't dare to ask even if she had any questions, and the girl didn't want to say it, so she helped her girl turn around and get into the carriage.

Along the way, Kuang Chaoyun was in a fugue, and she didn't know if what she saw at the previous glance was Gu Xuefei, but she really hoped that it was her, even if she didn't see Lin Dong's sadness with her own eyes, she didn't want him to be sad.

Gu Xuefei in the carriage on the other side quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced back, but she didn't see Kuang Chaoyun's figure again, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she almost fell short just now.

Thinking of Kuang Chaoyun, her eyes couldn't help but become complicated.

I remember that the last time I met Kuang Chaoyun was in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and after that time, my mother warned her not to associate with Kuang Chaoyun again, saying that Kuang Chaoyun must have a purpose in approaching her, and it was not for Lin Dong, such a woman has always been thoughtful, not someone she should befriend.

She can't remember how she answered at that time, but now that she thinks that Kuang Chaoyun might like Lin Dong, her heart aches, compared to her incompleteness, Kuang Chaoyun at least has children for Lin Dong to pass on the lineage, which she can't compare.

The envy and jealousy of Kuang Chaoyun filled her heart for a while, and she bent over and fell on the soft pillow in pain.

"Little sister?" Gu Jing hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and came in, and when he saw his sister's painful appearance, he stepped forward to help his sister up in shock.

"I'm fine, brother." Gu Xuefei leaned weakly into her brother's arms.

"Who was that guy just now?" Gu Jing asked coldly.

Gu Xuefei didn't notice her brother's tone, and said in a quiet tone, "That's the girl from Kuang Mansion." ”

"You had a holiday with her? Why did you have a wrong expression when you saw her? Gu Jing was skeptical.

If that Kuang Mansion girl really did something sorry for his sister, he would definitely not let her go easily.

Gu Xuefei shook her head, "No, brother, don't get me wrong, she hasn't done anything to be sorry for me, she is mine...... Friends, yes, friends......"

She doesn't want to speculate about whether Kuang Chaoyun approached her with a purpose or something, and now if she wants to break away from her past self, she should learn to let go of the past.

As for whether Kuang Chaoyun will marry Lin Dong as his wife after she withdraws, it is not her turn to worry about it, she only hopes that Lin Dong's wife can take good care of Lin Dong in the future.

When Gu Jing heard this, his expression softened a little, "Little sister, you have to remember that you will always be my sister, no matter where you are, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I, as a brother, will come to you as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, brother." Gu Xuefei hugged her brother with emotion.

God made her lose her qualification to be a woman, but gave her a brother who loved her, and she was worth it in this life.

On the day of the funeral of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, it rained heavily, and the long funeral procession walked through the most prosperous streets in the capital, because Gu Xuefei was not married and had no heirs, so she could only be held by her personal maid Yuzhi to hold the spiritual seat, and her brother Gu Jing walked in front in white clothes, and the back was the mourning team of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

The cry almost shook the sky.

Because it was a white-haired person who sent a black-haired person, Xuanpinghou and his wife did not appear in this funeral procession.

Lin Dong, who was also dressed in white, silently carried the coffin for Gu Xuefei, which was a little moved in the eyes of everyone. Especially when the funeral procession had not yet set off, Xuan Pinghou and his wife were a little shocked when they saw Lin Dong appear and carry the coffin in person, and Gu Guo was even more grateful, saying that his daughter was not blessed.

accompanied by Kuang Chaoyun, although she still knows Gu Xuefei slightly, but in her heart, she always has to send this journey to feel at ease, even if her mother Kuang Tai tried her best to stop it, saying that this is contaminating bad luck, she didn't listen to it, and insisted on coming on this trip.

Looking at Lin Dong carrying the coffin in front of her, her figure was thinner than some time ago, it can be seen that she should be very sad and sad in the past seven days, and she can't help but envy the dead Gu Xuefei in her heart, at least she got a man's sincere love.

Lin Long and Lin Qi both set up road sacrifices, so they got acquainted, so why should they send this journey.

Seeing that Lin Dong was carrying the coffin, Lin Long, who came alone, couldn't help frowning, but he didn't stop it, but watched Gu Xuefei's coffin pass by.

Lin Dong didn't turn his head to look at his sister's face, now he just wanted to do something for Gu Xuefei in the end, do what he could.

This love came to an abrupt end at the best time, but in his heart it was an eternal and brilliant memory, even if it was sour, it was a precious memory.

The dark paper is flying, and the capital is unusually quiet, after all, everyone is afraid of being contaminated with bad luck, so there are not many pedestrians on the street, everyone is closed, and the funeral procession will come out to clean up the bad luck.

"Erniang, why didn't you tell me that Brother Dong was going to carry the coffin for the ancient girl?" After Lin Long passed the funeral procession, he asked Lin Lu.

Lin Lushi shook his head, "I don't know, today is the day of the ancient girl's funeral, I am afraid that it will stimulate Brother Dong'er, so I don't dare to ask a word." ”

As the champion, what Lin Dong did this time was a bit out of line, but it was not incomprehensible.

Lin Long sighed, "It seems that Brother Dong is much deeper than I thought. ”

"The Lin family specializes in infatuation." Lin Lushi looked at the dark paper flying all over the ground and said faintly, at this moment she remembered her deceased husband Lin Ze, maybe what she loved was Lin Ze's insistence on love.

Because I never got it, it was extremely precious.

Finally arrived at the cemetery of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the funeral procession stopped, the mourning was shocking, and the coffin slowly sank into the pit dug in advance.

Lin Dong quietly watched his sweetheart leave him from then on, yin and yang were separated forever, and a layer of fog gradually appeared in his eyes.

Gu Jing couldn't bear it after all, this young man had done much more than he imagined, but the little sister was stubborn, and he couldn't believe that Lin Dong would treat his sister well for the rest of his life after knowing the truth.

He stepped forward and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, "Don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, you are still very long in the second half of your life, she doesn't want to see you decadent, one day, you soar thousands of miles is what she wants to see." ”

When Lin Dong heard this, he clenched his fists as if vowing, "There will be such a day, and I will definitely come to worship her again." ”

In this life, Gu Xuefei is the most beautiful existence in his mind.

"I'll wait." Gu Jing Dao.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous nunnery in a small town around the capital, Gu Xuefei put on a gray Zen robe and knelt in front of the Buddha, her hair was scattered behind her, her hands were folded, and her face was very calm at this moment.

"Gu girl, this shaving is not a joke, it's too late for you to regret it now." The abbot asked with his palms folded.

This young girl came to the nunnery the day before yesterday, and was escorted by a young man, who knew that she asked to become a monk as soon as she came, and she was very surprised at that time.

How do you look at this ancient girl, she doesn't seem to be from a poor family, and she doesn't know if she can endure the hardships of this clear rule and precept? What's more, the name of her nunnery is not known, and the incense money she can get is very limited, and the bhikshunis in the nunnery live a very hard life.

However, as soon as she became a monk, her family didn't care about this material comfort, so she naturally felt that this was cultivation.

"The disciple thinks very clearly, and asks the master to shave the disciple's degree, and the disciple is willing to serve the Buddha in this life, and only asks for a wish in the next life."

Gu Xuefei stated calmly, as if the matter of becoming a monk was just a piece of cake for her.

If Qing Xiu in front of the Buddha can be exchanged for a lifetime of love with Lin Dong in the next life, then she will practice devoutly in order to live in the next life.

The abbot looked at Gu Xuefei's eyes too quietly, and only saw that her eyes were extremely sincere, so he believed in her sincerity in becoming a monk, and then reached out and picked up the razor.

The sound of Buddha was curling, Gu Xuefei quietly watched her hair fall to the ground one by one, as if three thousand troubles were falling with it, inexplicably, she felt extraordinarily calm.

After the last strand of hair hit the ground, the resident master put the razor on the tray held by the disciple on the side, and looked at Gu Xuefei with his hands folded, "You are a person who can write in the nunnery, and I will give you the Dharma name Nengjing at this time." ”

"Thank you, Master." Gu Xuefei said.

When she got up again, she was already a bhikshuni.

On the cemetery of the Marquis of Xuanping, layers of sand were buried, and the coffin was finally submerged and a tombstone was erected.

The funeral procession gradually dissipated, but Lin Dong still stood in place and watched, not moving.

Gu Jing patted him on the shoulder again as he left, and let out a long sigh.

Kuang Chaoyun looked at Lin Dong's straight back, he made her feel very sad, she stepped forward boldly and said, "Master Zhuangyuan, people can't be resurrected after death, you should mourn." ”

Lin Dong had already been numb to hearing such words, and now he just wanted to stay quietly with Gu Xuefei for a while. "It's not early, Miss Kwong, please go back."

Kuang Chaoyun was stunned, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, she wanted to stay here to accompany Lin Dong, but unfortunately the etiquette was strict, and she couldn't stay here for a long time.

After taking a deep look at Lin Dong, she was helped away by the maid.

After getting into the carriage and driving away for a short distance, she told the coachman to stop, and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, where she could clearly see Lin Dong standing in front of the tomb, she leaned her head against the window, and looked at the man standing straight as a pine without blinking, and now she could accompany him.

The sunset in the evening is like blood, and when the bright moon rises into the sky, the earth is covered with a layer of white and vast silver, which is beautiful, but this is a cemetery, and the descendants of the Kuang family can't help but tremble, they look at their own girl, hoping that the girl will quickly order to set off.

Lin Dong still stood there without moving, and Kuang Chaoyun in the carriage also did not blink, they all strangely maintained the same posture for a long time, so long that they forgot to change their posture.

Until Lin Dong bent down in pain, Kuang Chaoyun in the carriage frowned and hurriedly pushed the curtain and got out of the carriage and rushed towards him, at this moment she forgot that this was a cemetery.

"Master Zhuangyuan, are you okay?" She eagerly stepped forward to help Lin Dong up and asked anxiously.

Lin Dong didn't look at Kuang Chaoyun, but pushed her away with a pale face, now he didn't need anyone's comfort and sympathy, this wound could only be licked slowly by himself.

He staggered to his feet, took a deep look at Gu Xuefei's tombstone, and finally bowed and turned away.

Kuang Chaoyun stood there with a hurt look on her face, looked at her empty hands, she turned her head to look at Gu Xuefei's tombstone, "Miss Gu, you are lucky." In the end, she truly expressed her emotions at the moment, "I'm really, really jealous of you. ”

"Girl, let's go back, I'm afraid the old lady will have to worry if it's too late." The big girl who rushed over didn't dare to breathe, this is the place of the dead.

Kuang Chaoyun nodded, and looked at Lin Dong's carriage driving away, her eyes full of sadness.

Gu Xuefei went, but it also took his heart away.

She is still alive, but she can't enter his heart.

With a sad heart, she got back into the carriage and followed Lin Dong's carriage to the city, fortunately, she had a waist card to enter the city, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to enter the city if she was late.

Lin Dong's delay in returning made the daughters of the Lin family worried.

Lin Long has been at her parents' house today, and at this moment she is anxiously looking up, while the pregnant Lin Qi is walking around the house, muttering: "Why haven't you come back yet?" ”

Although she didn't go to the road sacrifice today, she also returned to her parents' house early, Gu Xuefei went to the funeral, she was afraid that Lin Dong would be too sad, as an older sister, she had to comfort and comfort her younger brother who experienced life and death at the beginning of her love.

Huo Yuan supported his wife who was pregnant with Liujia, "Don't worry, or I'll send someone to find ......"

When Lin Long heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't need to send someone to go, I think Brother Dong will come back by himself." ”

"He has to go through this hurdle himself." Ye Xuyao, who was sitting on the side, said lightly, "No one can help him now, except for himself." ”

He saw it thoroughly and knew that Lin Dong's problem had to be solved by himself.

Lin Qi and Huo Yuan glanced at each other, and had to sigh, the saddest thing in this world is love.

Quan Meihuan said suddenly, "Although the matter of discussing relatives has been put on hold for the time being, Brother Dong can't help but discuss relatives, right?" In my opinion, the girl surnamed Kwong before seems to be good, why don't we give it first? ”

As soon as the words landed, Lin Dong, who had returned from outside, walked in with a cold moonlight and a handsome face, "I don't want anyone to marry now, especially Miss Kuang." ”

Quan Meihuan's face turned red, her son's words slapped her in the face, but she didn't dare to say a heavy word to offend her son, "Okay, okay, if you say don't marry, you won't marry, and we'll see a good one when the time comes." ”

Lin Dong frowned, his mother's words made his heart unusually irritable, but because of recuperation, he didn't say anything bad to refute, but said lightly to the eldest sister and the others, "I'm back, you don't have to worry too much about me, I won't do stupid things." ”

"That's a good man." Huo Yuan praised.

Ye Xuyao pulled Lin Long to get up, "Since that's the case, then we'll go back first." ”

He didn't say comforting words, in his eyes, Lin Dong was already an adult, and he could handle his own affairs.

Lin Long glanced at his younger brother's expression, his lips moved for a while, and finally turned into a simple admonition, "Sister, go back first, you have to eat and sleep on time, don't let my sister worry." ”

Lin Dong nodded, "Sister, don't worry." ”

Lin Long let her husband pull her away.

Huo Yuan also left with his worried wife Lin Qi, and patted Lin Dong on the shoulder before leaving, "Brother-in-law, there is still a long way to go in life." ”

Lin Qi raised his hand to tidy up his brother's clothes, and then said the same thing as Lin Long, and finally dragged Quan Meihuan away.

"Brother Dong, I'll give you a hot supper." Lin Lu stepped forward to care for the authentic.

Lin Dong originally wanted to say that he was not hungry, but he promised his two sisters to live well, so he showed a smile that did not look like a smile, "There is Lao Erniang." ”

"What is polite to Erniang, Erniang just hopes that you will be satisfied." Lin Lu's eyes were red, and he turned around and went out to give Lin Dong a hot supper in person.

The moonlight was cold, and after Lin Dong had eaten the supper that Lin Lv's hand had warmed, he persuaded Lin Lv's to leave.

Thinking of the scene when he met Gu Xuefei for the first time, he turned around and went to the study, and wrote an essay nostalgic for Gu Xuefei with a stroke of his pen.

With the servant Mo bringing the charcoal basin, he burned this inscription to Gu Xuefei under the Nine Springs in the cold moonlight.

When the last burned paper turned to ashes and drifted in the scorching summer wind, he said with deep affection and sorrow, "Farewell, ancient girl, I'm sorry, from now on I really want to bury you deep in my heart, just because I still have responsibilities to do, I promised my dear relatives to live well, please forgive me for my selfishness." ”

The evening breeze blew this acacia to the unknown nunnery, and Neng Jing, who was doing the evening class, stopped knocking on the wooden fish and turning the rosary, stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the window, the light of the bright moon spilled into the room, and she looked up at the bright moon.

The moonlight tonight is so good, bathed in this evening breeze, she feels extraordinarily peaceful.

From now on, she will also bury that handsome man in the depths of her heart, just waiting for the next life to be reunited.

Gu Guo's daughter died and became seriously ill, almost ineffective medicine, after all, this is a heart disease, how can it be cured?

It wasn't until that day that Gu Jing led a nun wearing a hat to practice that her condition gradually improved.

"Mother."

Neng Jing took off the hat on her head, and looked at the withered appearance of her mother lying on the bed, her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe, and the word "donor" on her lips was instantly transformed into a common title that she had been shouting for 16 years.

Gu Guo opened his eyes and looked at the young girl in a nun's robe in disbelief, wasn't this face her Sister Fei?

She struggled to get up, "You, are you Sister Fei?" ”

Neng Jing could no longer suppress the grief in her heart, and stepped forward and threw herself into her mother's arms, "Mother, mother......"

"Sister Fei, my Sister Fei, you finally came back to see your mother, you are finally back......" Gu Guo hugged his daughter and spoke incoherently happily, "You pinch my mother quickly, am I dreaming?" ”

She hasn't had a good night's sleep since her daughter's funeral, and she can't accept the fact that her daughter is dead.

"Mother, it's me, it's me, you're not dreaming." Neng Jing raised her mother's hand and touched her face.

Gu Guo touched his daughter's familiar face, and couldn't help shedding two lines of tears, "You are warm, you are my sister Fei...... You ......" She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her brain, which had not been awake, began to work, and she suddenly held her daughter's face and said, "If you are Sister Fei, who is the person buried in the ancient family cemetery?" Or are you here to lie to me? ”

In the end, he pushed away the nun in front of him with a fierce face.

Neng Jing struggled forward and hugged Gu Guo's desperately, "Mother, listen to my explanation, I am your daughter Sister Fei, I ...... I faked my death and escaped......"

"What?" Gu Guo's eyes widened and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, this time she looked at her daughter carefully from top to bottom, and her gaze became more and more cold.

Seeing his sister looking at him for help, Gu Jing stepped forward and knelt in front of his mother, "Mother, this is really a little sister, the person buried in the Gu family cemetery is the body I found back to replace my sister, she is a fake......"

"You ...... You have deceived me so much, you ...... You are so rebellious......" Gu Guo's face changed drastically and he scolded angrily.

She never expected the truth to be so appalling.
