Chapter Forty-Eight: Flying Snow in the Sky
Wangcheng, which had been dull for several days, finally had a big happy event spread, and there was a lot of uproar, saying that the Gongliang family was about to marry a daughter into Baili Mansion.
Talking about the young lady of the Gongliang family who is about to get married, she is a noble girl who moves the royal city, and her talent in piano and chess is very good, and the song "Covering the Rain" has been performed at the emperor's banquet, and it is rumored that everyone at that banquet was fascinated by it, and the emperor himself, who has always been happy and rude, is also full of praise. And the son-in-law of the Baili family is not simple, he took over the family's wine production series business at a young age, and in less than two years, he expanded the industry to the neighboring Wuwu country, which is a wizard in business.
These two people are married, they are really a good match, and they complement each other very well.
The dowry was urgent, but it was also grand. One morning, when the sun shines on the earth like gold, the people who are ready to work go out and see ten miles of red makeup paving the road that connects the two households.
The crowd was stunned by the sudden joy. The idlers in the tavern chatted and said that this family affair had already been decided, because the young lady of the Gong Liang family was weak, so it was delayed until nearly a month, and they were very curious when they chatted, and it was rumored that the marriage had been selected and would be held at the beginning of the month.
Although it was an auspicious day, it was still too hurried after all.
When he heard the news, Hua Cane, who had seen a lot and heard a lot of strange things, was so shocked that he fell from the tree in the courtyard.
Xiaolian, the maid who had just entered the mansion and said this, clenched her sleeves and stood silently beside her, watching the young lady fall off all four feet in a panic before she ran over in a panic and trembled to help her up.
"Why are you going to get married, brother, he is ......" Even after a fall, she was still in a state of shock, and she couldn't care about the dull pain, so she sat up on the spot with a stunned face, looking very dazed.
The eaves are thinking. She was thinking about how it all happened, and how she was going to accept it.
Separated by racial differences, this reflection is very painful.
Judging from her recent observations, she felt that there was definitely a situation between her eldest brother and eldest sister. At first, she didn't understand the meaning of the sentence that made A-Niang so angry, but later she couldn't help but go to Zhang Bo to seek truth.
As an old man who has been in charge of the housekeeper position of Baili Mansion for decades, Zhang Bo has always won the trust of Huawei in terms of knowledge and experience. In order to find out what the meaning of that sentence was, Hua Wei tried his best, and finally persuaded the old Zhang Bo who had been hesitating to explain helplessly in the insistence of selling cuteness and stupidity that was becoming more and more broken.
She was surprised by the explanation.
In the breeze, the old Uncle Zhang, who had already experienced obvious vicissitudes, sighed and said: "Women are extremely cautious when they say such things, and they must have really handed over their chastity to someone, which is equivalent to the meaning of 'cloud rain' and 'eating tofu' that Miss you saw in the book." β
At that time, I didn't know what to do after listening to it for a long time, and suddenly the scene of a wedding ceremony with a garland on the head of a yokai who loved each other suddenly came to mind.
At that time, I thought, it must be husband and wife.
But now that the eldest sister is about to accept the punishment of drowning, the eldest brother is about to marry another. Although as far as she is concerned, she doesn't want to save Baili Tang, at least, her so-called brother Baili Shangliang should not be indifferent.
Neither of this is appropriate.
"What do you say about it, he's going to marry so soon......" Eaves craned her neck to look at the drifting clouds, and whispered as if she was talking to herself.
"Xiaolian doesn't know very well." The maid Xiaolian shook her head in confusion when she heard the young lady's confusion, and then smiled again: "But everyone is saying that this dowry of our family is very generous, and when we go out in the future, it means that we are a subordinate, as long as we are the subordinates of the Baili family, we also feel that we have a special face." β
Hua Wei lowered her eyes, looked at the very happy little lotus girl, and felt that it should be her reaction to be normal. The so-called brother Baili Shangliang has a wife, and the time to disturb her in the future will definitely become less and less, and even the relationship will become thinner and thinner, and it will be the same as at the beginning.
In this way, she should also be happy. But the eaves of the flowers were half-thinking about the grass color, and the depression that had recently disappeared reappeared in the chest, and filled the originally empty thinking lining again.
When the sun was not spicy, the eaves that were unhappy finally put down, and the words that were already boring to read went out.
The destination is in the next courtyard, the residence of Baili Shangliang.
The sun was heavy, and the thin figure drank under the equally thin willow tree, as always, regardless of the change of the sun and the moon, and only drank blindly. There are not too many good or bad expressions, and the decadent posture is indistinguishable from the cold face, as if it is hidden by a thick fog.
Hua Wei approached the front with some sympathy, stood side by side with wicker, stood under the tree, looked at the so-called brother who was stained with wine, and asked questions.
The long-term sense of disobedience and the fog-like blank feeling became clear and clear at this time.
Hua Wei had no intention of asking this question, even if this messy situation was related to herself, she didn't know how to deal with it was the right choice, but seeing Baili Shangliang, who was still drinking and drinking very decadently while sitting under the tree, the silence of several days only turned into a question.
"Eldest brother, tell me the truth, in fact, you really love the eldest sister, right?"
In Hua Cane's view, this question can be grammatically reduced to a rhetorical question, and this is the case after a long period of observation, and this theory of love is sometimes untrue.
However, what Hua Wei didn't expect was that her question was not answered in the affirmative.
Baili Shangliang's face froze slightly, and then a big smile pierced this slightly serious question, he shook the wine jar, and looked up at the wicker blowing in the wind, "Ah Xun, do you know that I am about to get married, and my wife is Liang Jin, a noble daughter who is famous in the capital." β
"You should have refused, you look so unhappy right now." Hua Wei looked at Baili Shangliang carefully, and then said sincerely.
"No, I'm happy." Baili Shangliang shook his head and retorted, "My brother has never been so happy, now I have an industry in hand, and I will have a gentle wife in the future, in this life, if you can get this job, what else can you be unhappy about?" β
Hua Wei looked at the wine that glittered in the sun on the grass on the ground, was silent for a while, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "You lie." β
Baili Shangliang chuckled lightly and did not speak.
Hua Wei raised her head slightly, and the trance that had been shaking from time to time in her heart gradually became clear, and a smile flashed on her lips: "Actually, you also live a wayward child in your heart, right, you suddenly became spoiled and loved me, and became only concerned about me, but you saw me naΓ―ve and ignorant." You are rejecting your current self in your heart, rejecting yourself who is afraid of facing your eldest sister, you want to go back to the past. β
Hua Wei had never thought of these words before, but when they came out of his mouth, they were very natural.
It is true that she does not understand the truth of the world so well, but at this moment, she feels that these words are very suitable for the situation of the eldest brother, and it is indeed correct to talk about it by combining the elements of many scripts.
She didn't understand why the eldest brother suddenly married someone else, and after thinking about it, she thought of the word "afraid".
If people are afraid, there are many things that they will not strive for even if they want to get them. After all, a girl who is related by blood is always more difficult to have than a pot of fine wine.
Under the willow tree, Baili Shangliang, who was drunk and confused, heard Hua Eaves rarely say this paragraph seriously, uncovered a new wine jar from his side, and poured it violently, I don't know why Lu Dao actually laughed. He has been educated as a businessman since he was a child, and he has been educated to become a thoughtful businessman, but he has really waited until now, but he was attacked by a sister who is usually not very sensible except for eating, drinking, and having fun. He was stunned for a moment in a sip of spirits, and at last thought it was funny.
"Maybe Ah Xun is right, if I hurt a child, I will feel very clean and clean, but I love a woman who is related to ethics and morality...... That's depraved. There are some things that I can't suppress from thinking about, but no matter what, I don't want to be so depraved. β
Baili Shangliang laughed for a long time, and replied like this.
"But......" Hua Wei didn't expect Baili Shangliang to become so sincere at this time, and was stunned, "If it goes on like this, no one will be happy." Everyone likes to talk about the vicissitudes of life, but in this life, why do you want to do such a sad thing to make yourself? β
"This is probably the so-called cocooning of oneself." Baili Shangliang took another sip of wine and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I don't understand."
"It's okay if you don't understand, people who live too soberly and cowardly are too unproductive." Baili Shangliang said slowly, as if he was tired.
He stood up with his strength and tried to hold on to the trunk of the tree, but he accidentally fell into the air, and his whole body stumbled forward.
Hua Wei didn't go up to help him this time, she watched him fall on the grass in an embarrassed manner, just stood there in a daze, and didn't say anything.
She thought that she was a little cruel to her eldest brother like this. I don't want to make a fuss or anything, this kind of horizontal and vertical has nothing to do with her, so she doesn't have to be a mustard. But there was a sadness in her heart, and this sadness with strangeness overflowed her chest little by little, with the magic of life and death.
She didn't like the feeling, but the feeling followed.
It was too easy in the past, and now it seems to be very difficult.
Perhaps, this is the so-called tribulation, grinding to physical and mental exhaustion, and the ups and downs of the years.
Just when Hua Wei was still thinking silently, Baili Shangliang, who fell to the ground, suddenly asked: "Ah Xun, do you remember the bet between your brother and your third sister?" β
Hua Wei was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I still remember that my brother answered the bet for me." β
When he answered, Baili Shangliang had already turned around, but he didn't get up, he lay flat in a piece of grass very casually, closed his eyes to meet the dusk, and said lightly: "Heh, that bet was originally set up for me." β
Hua Eave's eyes widened suddenly, listening to the things that had been worrying about her finally being mentioned.
In the twilight, Baili Shangliang's light voice fell again, "Ah Xun, in fact, it will really snow in June...... It will snow in people's hearts. β
