Chapter 49: Let go
With Li Zhi's departure, Wu Meiniang's mood seemed to gradually calm down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The three people in the info house have returned to their original peaceful and comfortable lives.
Regarding the conversation with Wu Meiniang that night, Shang Shang did not mention it in front of Li Mo, as if he had forgotten it at all. Even sometimes, the merchant chamber of commerce unconsciously looked at Wu Meiniang and was stunned.
Unknowingly, Wu Meiniang had also lived in Jiuzhi Mountain for more than three months, and the more he came into contact with her, the more merchants could not associate her with the pale and yellowed name in the history books.
This is an ordinary woman who can cry and laugh, feed the chickens in the yard with her, squat under the kitchen with her to study recipes, and hold a bandage embroidered with an embroidered cloth. It's so out of place with the empress sitting on a high throne and looking coldly from under her drooping eyelids!
The merchant sometimes looked at the peaceful smile on Wu Meiniang's bright goose egg face, and even wondered if he was mistaken? That powerful woman has nothing to do with the gentle woman in front of her?
The anxiety and trance of the merchant all fell into Li Mo's eyes at all, but as a native of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't understand the entanglement of the merchant and shang, so he could only wait silently on the side, waiting for the day when she figured it out by herself.
The days slowly slipped past in the entanglement of businessmen, Wu Meiniang's safety, and Li Mo's quietness.
With the arrival of the hot summer, far away in Chang'an, the Enke test throughout the entire Tang Dynasty has also entered the final stage of the palace test.
Judging from the news sent back by Li Yan, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, most of the students selected for the Enke examination were children of civilians, and only a small part of the children of the family were selected, and their names were not significant, and some of them were only ranked at the end of the scholars, which was barely passed.
Hearing these news, the three people in the house all breathed a sigh of relief, after all, no matter how careful the plan is, there will inevitably be loopholes, and now the fragility of the family has made this plan disappear even the last trace of uncertainty.
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but think of what Li Zhi said to her by the spring on the mountain, although she was indeed a little moved at that time, but when she thought of the distance between the two of them, even with Wu Meiniang's stubbornness, she couldn't help but feel cold.
If Li Zhi can't do what he said, when everything is exposed to the eyes of the world, all the sins will only be borne by her, a weak woman, and at that time, she will not be able to wait for the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha anymore!
But now that everything is going in a good direction, doesn't it mean: she actually still has a chance?
The merchant grabbed a rag and carefully wiped the Qin Zheng taken out of the piano cover, and came to Jiuzhi Mountain for two years, although she rarely played the piano, but she never neglected the maintenance of the Qin Zheng, and always maintained the body with the best tung oil to avoid the wood from drying out.
Wu Meiniang's eyes stayed on the Qin Zheng in the hands of the merchant without focus, and she didn't know what she remembered, her face was sad and happy, as if she was enchanted.
After finishing the morning exercise, Li Mo walked through the door with a sword, and saw the piano in the hands of the merchant in just a glance, and his heart couldn't help but move.
Since Li Zhi left, Shangshang has not played the piano for a few days, and I don't know if she has this mind today? Thinking of Shang Shang's piano sound, Li Mo couldn't help but be a little moved.
"Merchant!" Li Mo lifted the sword in his hand and stepped into the door.
"Huh? Are you done practicing swords? The merchant asked without raising his head while applying tung oil thinly to the body of the piano.
Li Mo's voice woke up Wu Meiniang, who was intoxicated in her thoughts, and when she raised her eyes and saw Li Mo coming in, Wu Meiniang turned sideways and wiped the corners of her eyes, got up and retreated.
Seeing Shang Shang's slightly evasive eyes, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Shang Shang's strange emotions have not been alleviated these days, but he really can't figure out what happened?
"You took out the piano and wiped it today, but do you want to play?"
Li Mo approached the merchant and brought the bowl containing tung oil to the merchant's hand, so that she could wet the rag.
Listening to Li Mo's slightly flattering voice, Shang Shang couldn't help but feel that he was a little excessive, Wu Meiniang's matter actually had nothing to do with Li Mo, but he was also a little cold to Li Mo because of the entanglement in his heart, which was really a little unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Shang Shang raised his head, smiled at Li Mo, reached into the bowl he was holding and dipped a little tung oil, and continued to wipe the body of the piano.
"Hmmm! I haven't played it for a few days, and if I don't play it again, I'm afraid that the previous tunes will be forgotten. ”
Looking at the smiling face of the businessman, although Li Mo knew that her mood was not high, he was still relieved. The merchant was willing to talk to him, or at least prove that the incident should not have been caused by him.
"Merchant! What the hell is going on with you these days? Li Mo looked at the businessman who lowered his neck slightly and kept busy in his hands, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
Li Mo's question was low and gentle, and the merchant's hand unconsciously paused.
"Mo ......" The merchant wanted to say something, but he called out Li Mo's name, but he didn't know where to start.
From Wu Meiniang's words, she could hear the resignation and stubbornness hidden in her bones, maybe Wu Meiniang would follow Li Zhi's request to enter the palace, but what about after entering the palace? Can Li Zhi really get the happiness he wants?
But what does that make her say? Do you want to tell Li Mo: Wu Meiniang doesn't like your brother at all, you ask him to stop dreaming! Or simply tell Li Mo: Don't help your brother anymore, Wu Meiniang will become the empress in the future and will kill many descendants of the Li family?
Obviously none of this is a good idea! Judging from Li Zhi's attitude, in fact, both of them can see that he is determined to win! And Wu Meiniang's powerless obedience strengthened his determination!
Now, it is no longer the time for Li Mo and the businessmen to do whatever they want!
From Wu Meiniang's words, the businessmen could hear that Li Zhi must have made a certain degree of guarantee to Wu Meiniang, otherwise, Wu Meiniang would not have said that she could only move forward and not retreat.
"What's wrong? Why not speak up? Is there something we can discuss? Taking the rag from her hand and putting it aside, Li Mo put his hand on her shoulder and looked at the merchant's eyes seriously.
"I don't know what to tell you...... Silent! Do you really think Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang will be happy? The merchant raised his head and looked into Li Mo's eyes.
"Merchant! Happy or unhappy, only you know! Where will others understand? Li Mo looked at the unconcealable worry on the businessman's flower-like face, and said solemnly: "It's like you, who have no name and no part in me, but you are willing to accompany me to be a vegetarian at the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain for three years, guarding the tomb and worshipping, in the eyes of others, are you happy?" But you never feel bitter, why is that? ”
Li Mo's words were like a sledgehammer, breaking up all the emotions that the merchants had been entangled for a long time.
Shang Shang saw his suddenly realized eyes from Li Mingzhen's eyes, and couldn't help but laugh a little. Why didn't I figure it out for so long with such a simple question?
Li Zhi's happiness lies in the fact that he wants to have Wu Meiniang! And Wu Meiniang's happiness lies in being able to let go of the past and pity the people in front of her! And these two things, they can only rely on themselves, and outsiders can't help!
Even if she told Li Mo, could she really stop Li Zhi and let him let Wu Meiniang live? Or, even if Wu Meiniang is really released, in this era of extremely low status of women, can Wu Meiniang really live a safe life?
"That's it! Everyone has their own fate, and I don't need to think about it, just let it be! The merchant smiled.
Perhaps, what he and Li Mo can do now is to increase Li Zhi and increase his weight in Wu Meiniang's heart! When this weight is too heavy, maybe the happiness of the two is just around the corner!
Seeing that the businessman was finally able to smile his eyebrows, Li Mo's heart was also relaxed, and the worries of the past few days could finally disappear.
Wu Meiniang outside the door stood quietly in place with a tea tray, the light in her eyes flickering faintly.
The conversation between the two did not lower their voices, and the worries of the merchant were like a small stone thrown into her heart at this time, causing ripples.
In this world, there are almost no people who really care about her, her parents did not hesitate to send her into the palace, and never visited her afterwards.
And the merchant has only lived with her for a few months, but he is worried about her happiness? The feeling of being cared for was so strange that it frightened her.
The chatter of the people in the room continued, but Wu Meiniang felt that she didn't want to listen to it anymore.
Dispelled the idea of entering the house, Wu Meiniang, who was holding a tea tray, walked back to the kitchen lightly, and stood quietly for a long time before walking out of the door again.
The rising sun will gradually increase the heat in the courtyard without reservation, the chickens who have escaped the heat have already run into the woods behind the house to enjoy the cool, from time to time there is a "clucking" sound, only the simple thatched stable in the courtyard is left in the three horses are still in place impatiently snorting.
All of this is so different from the bustling and lively Chang'an, there is no such deceit or struggle for power and profit, there is just a simple and ordinary life, just like every ordinary Tang people, the sun rises and the sun sets.
Wu Meiniang suddenly smiled, in such a place where there is no quarrel with the world, it is not a happy thing to have such a friend.
Putting her hand on the pergola, Wu Meiniang, who was smiling faintly, was about to walk into the stable, untie the horse that was gradually intolerant of heat, and put it in the forest behind the house to escape the heat, but only saw a burst of dust on the avenue in front of the courtyard.
A fast-moving green cloth carriage suddenly stopped at the gate of the courtyard with the sound of hurried hooves, and a strong man of five big and three thick jumped out of the wheel.
Suddenly seeing Wu Meiniang, the strong man was obviously a little stunned, and only after a moment did he ask with some doubts: "My girl Su is here?" ”
Wu Meiniang looked at the strong man in front of her, and saw that he was obviously a little cramped, and couldn't help laughing: "Who are you?" What's the matter with Miss Su?
