Chapter 207
Zhu Zhao stayed in Tongzhou for nearly half a month, and he didn't let go of the city, suburbs, and even the surrounding small towns, but no trace of Zhu Xu was found. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After the anxiety passed, he sat there alone and looked at the gray sky outside in a daze, and then he realized that if a person doesn't want you to find it, then you may not be able to find this person even if you dig three feet into the ground.
They cast such a big net but it was difficult to find Zhu Xu's traces, doesn't it mean that Zhu Xu doesn't want to be found? Only then did he remember what the fifth brother wanted, they said that they would not look back when they had the ability to leave, and the fifth brother probably didn't want to be looking for him? The purity he wanted had been obtained, and the only thing he hoped for was that no one would bother him, and that would be enough.
Zhu Zhao stood up, stroked his forehead, and ordered the people outside: "Come back, don't look for it, pack up, and prepare to go back to Beijing." ”
The two of them were finally free, but they were like a person who had fallen into a whirlpool and could not get out, and he could only get a moment of peace when he kept fighting and waited for everything to be clear, would he be tired? Will it be painful? How could it not, even if he was not close to those brothers, but when it came to a hard time, no one would be soft-hearted, and life and death were the final ending.
Since Zhu Xu lived in Doctor Zhou's other hospital, he always made people pay attention to the movements outside, until he heard that all the people of the six princes had withdrawn and returned to Beijing, and he was relieved, he knew that the sixth brother would understand him. I hope that no one will remember him in the future, so that he can live his life in this quiet mountain field without being disturbed by anyone.
Cen Lian changed into a woman's style of dress, they were all wearing the most ordinary coarse cloth clothes, ordinary can't be ordinary, even if he can't give himself a beautiful and lively wedding, she will always follow him, enjoying the closeness and warmth that belongs to the two.
Cen Lian put the tea in his hand and said with a smile: "Look at your frowns, I haven't seen you stretch since you came here, and you yourself said that the six princes can understand your suffering, so what are you worried about?" ”
Zhu Xu patted her hand with a smile and shook his head: "I am probably reluctant to give it, after all, he is such a brother, and I don't know when I will be able to see him again in the future." Maybe he became the emperor of the world, or maybe he was defeated...... He is in a position that we can easily approach, and it may bring us trouble, and this is probably the end of our brotherhood. I saw a vacant lot in the backyard yesterday, and when spring begins, let's learn how to farm with my uncle, we can't just rely on these things to live, people still have to have a craft that can survive. ”
Although Cen Lian said that she was born poor, she had never done farm work, maybe she had been in the cold palace for a long time, and because of this person around her, she also felt extremely interesting about things that people couldn't hide, and when the spring flowers bloomed, the green mountains in front of her were verdant and green, and the weather was warmer, and their lives would definitely be better.
For the first time, she felt that she was looking forward to her future life, and that everything seemed promising in such an environment.
Zhu Zhao hurried to the capital and told the emperor the news that the fifth brother was missing and the whole city was unsuccessful, and the emperor pondered for a while, and just waved his hand for a long time and said: "It's just that, I think he did it on purpose, and he may still hate me in his heart." In fact, what he wants, as long as he opens his mouth and talks to me, how can I, as a father, not give it? Can't punch him? But he just used such a decisive means to knock on my heart, what kind of man-eating monster am I to let him avoid like this? I know I owe him a lot, but this kid ...... Forget it, if you find out that you will send someone to protect him secretly, if you let me know who dares to do anything excessive in private, no matter who it is, don't blame me for being ruthless and screwing his head off. ”
Zhu Zhao thought that Zhu Xu would have a perfect ending like this, at least he avoided the struggle for power and those open and secret battles. He is safe and sound now because they have not yet caught who is his, and if the forces behind him are exposed, those who are ready to act will surely do something soon.
Maybe it's because the Liu family is too eye-catching, but if someone wants to move the Liu family, it will only make people quickly see what's wrong, and Zhu Zhao is currently a person who is being co-opted by all forces, so the current situation of the Liu family is relatively safe.
Zhu Zhao withdrew from it, even if this person is his closest person, he will not have the slightest sympathy, as a parent, he has to love and protect his children at any time, the fate between people is very wonderful, it is already very rare to be a family in the world, but who would have thought, without love and friendliness, what will be faced is only killing and calculating each other again and again.
It's not just because he's also a father, he's thought so since he was a child, and if he sits in that position in the future, he won't let his children and grandchildren suffer like this, absolutely not.
Qian Yun didn't know the news of Zhu Zhao's return, at that time she was sitting in the study, fiddling with the abacus beads to check last year's accounts, she really didn't even have time to breathe, no matter how much she liked silver, but it was really a headache for these endless accounts.
Qian Yun stroked her forehead and sighed, when she heard the door being pushed open, she thought it was the girl who came in to add tea, and she didn't care, but she felt that someone was sitting down opposite her, so she looked up, saw the person who came clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "You're back?" Faster than I thought, how is the fifth brother's illness? Can it be cured? ”
Zhu Zhao was a little sad and put his hands together to support his chin, shook his head, and muttered: "It's nothing, he's not crazy at all, it's just hiding from us and wanting to leave the palace, and now I don't know where to hide." If he had known this, why did he bother so much, just say that I will help him. And even if you don't want to live in the court, as long as you tell your father the truth, can there be any trouble? Why is the fifth brother so confused? ”
Qian Yun could understand the thoughts of the five princes, but he just smiled: "How can it feel good to live under everyone's noses and be stared at?" After all, life is lived by oneself, why do some people come out to point fingers? That's probably what he doesn't like, right? Only when you leave, you are left alone to do what you want to do. ”
Zhu Zhao waved his hand: "Let him go, after all, his wish can be regarded as fulfilled, as long as there is no worry in this life, I will be relieved." In fact, this was the agreement between the two of us at the beginning, but I didn't expect that he was the only one who obeyed it in the end. From beginning to end, he has not changed, and I am the one who has changed. ”
Qian Yun couldn't help laughing, grabbed his hand and said: "You, people are all changeable, and many things around you are not up to you, since we have chosen, we can't turn back." There are gains and losses, he got freedom and tranquility, and gave up the glory and wealth, in fact, I admire him, after all, no matter who is now reluctant to lose the glory and wealth in his hands, and even feel less, greedy people often do not end up too well, I sometimes think, I am also a greedy person, will I get any retribution in the future? ”
Only then did Zhu Zhao have a smile on his face, patted her head and said, "What nonsense, are you greedy there?" On the contrary, I think it's good that you're like this, no matter how uncomfortable your family is, you seem to be very open-minded. What's more, these things are given to you by God, so don't think about some things that you don't have. ”
Qian Yun thought for a while in her heart, at that time, because he had already thought about everything in advance, she had used it for decades, and this lesson was really enough.
After that, although the old prince sent the letter written by Zhu Xu, the expression on Zhu Zhao's face was still faint, and there was nothing sad that people could see, he just said for a long time, since he didn't want others to disturb, he didn't bother for a long time.
People are incomparably complicated after all, no matter how much they understand and how they don't care about what they said at the beginning, but they still feel that they have been hollowed out by others, there is no way to fill it, they can't tell others, they can only digest it in their own hearts to forget, waiting for the day when they can let go, no matter who they are.
Since then, Zhu Zhao has never talked about Zhu Xu, he began to become busy, whether it was the errand assigned by the emperor or the banquet of the princes, he was once so busy that he didn't even have time to come back to see the children, but when the shopkeepers of the various shops of the Liu family came to congratulate him, he still appeared, because this was a big day for Qian Yun, after all, she would soon become the richest person in the world, and she was her husband, of course, happier than anyone else.
After a lively day, everything returned to calm, Zhu Zhao was busy as usual, and Qian Yun was busy at the same time, when she suddenly heard the news that Ah Liang came to visit again, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked people to invite him in, in fact, her heart is also very complicated, this person ...... It really didn't make her know what to say.
Compared with the high spirits of that day, he looked a little unenergetic at this time, and he didn't look at her with his eyes down, she paused, and still pretended not to know anything and asked, "But is there something wrong?" ”
Ah Liang's hands clenched into fists, as if he had made a lot of determination, and then he spoke: "I know that this time I came suddenly, no matter what Miss thinks of me as a person, there are some things I still have to say, because I don't want to regret it, even if there is no possibility of seeing each other in the future, so I must say it today." Miss, my humble status is not worthy of you, I am self-aware, so I think as long as I can watch you by your side, even if it is like this for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied. But now I understand that human desires can expand infinitely, and nothing can compare to human greed, and if I stand by your side, I can't help but wonder when I will be able to have you. Don't be afraid, I just like you, though, but I won't pester you, I'll be away soon. I just think it's important for me to tell you and let you know about my relationship for so long. In my heart, you are not only the life-saving benefactor of our sister and brother, but also the person who I will never forget in my conscience, I am grateful for your kindness, and I worship you as a god, I know that this will only attract your disgust and disgust, but I can't help it, and I don't know what I should do. I will go back to Northern Xinjiang today, and I will never set foot in the capital again in the future, but I still want Miss not to hate me. ”
Qian Yun sighed and said with a smile: "Ah Liang, how could I not understand your thoughts?" It's not wrong to like people, but I also have my considerations, and I can't promise you, because I already have someone I love, and the things we have to face are different, and this kind of thing can't be forced. You are a very good person, and you deserve a better girl to treat you, which is the reason why I asked the shopkeeper Tong to help you with your family affairs, I didn't expect him to marry his daughter to you, in this case, you have already married, why can't you live a good life? In fact, you can not listen to me, but when you are a certain age, you will understand that it is very rare for a person to have a person who is really good to himself, so don't care too much about other things, and lose everything you have, because maybe you have other thoughts in your heart, but you don't want to pay attention to it, so it's good to wronged yourself. Be kind to Tong Ying, she was put in the palm of her hand by the shopkeeper Tong when she was a child, and she has never been wronged, don't let her be sad, okay? She's a good girl and I want her to get what she wants. ”
Ah Liang nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't think about it, I got the answer, I am already very down-to-earth, I will think about it on the way back, for Tong Ying I have not given myself." Miss should cherish everything, these words should be regarded as Ah Liang's drunk nonsense, I am dead now, and I have no regrets in my heart. ”
Qian Yun nodded: "It's best if you can figure it out." Time is long and short, and some things can't help but think slowly, because maybe by the time you think about it, there is nothing left in front of you, and what you originally owned is gone, not to mention what you don't have? You say you're afraid of regret, and I think that's what you should care about. After all, you are still too young, seize the present to make yourself not regret it, it's not too early, you better get on the road early, go back early, and the people who are waiting for you to go home in Mengcheng can feel at ease. ”
Ah Liang smiled and went out, in fact, now the unspeakable emotions in his heart have disappeared, and the dark clouds in his heart have dissipated all of a sudden, in fact, this is already very good, no matter what will happen to him and Tong Ying after he goes back, at that time he has nothing to do with this person in the capital, he can be purely himself, choose according to his own heart, sometimes he thinks, what does he like about Qian Yun? Beautiful, elegant and generous? Or is it the strength and composure that she can show no matter what she is facing? Maybe this woman is just all the emotional sustenance when his heart is blank, so he feels so difficult to let go when he lets go.
In fact, the pace of going back was much slower, perhaps because there were many things to think about, and it was snowing in the sky, and by the time he returned to Mengcheng, another month had passed. I always feel that it has been cold for a long time, and it is time for spring to come.
When I got home, my sister was sitting there sighing, and he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhen Niang sighed: "Tong Ying is sick, and the shopkeeper Tong is better than our family, so I took it back to recuperate." The doctor said it was nothing serious, but I knew that she had a heart disease, so she said that she was not well yet, and it had been delayed for several days. Ah Liang, I've thought about it for so long, and I actually figured it out, if you really don't like Tong Ying, then you should make a break with her, just treat it as if the two of you really don't have this fate, and let each other live. I really can't look down on such a good girl, I don't want anything for you to think about you as a person, and you want to spoil people like this, I really can't see it, you just disperse like this, it's good for everyone. ”
Ah Liang didn't know what was wrong with her heart, and suddenly for a moment it seemed like she couldn't beat anymore, and even her breathing became painful, how could she get sick? He was fine when he left, how could it be ...... He didn't care about anything, and he didn't take his sister's words to heart, but quickly turned around and left, ran to the shop, and went to the house to see Tong Ying after worshipping his father-in-law. She was lying there with a pale face, and it made people feel distressed to see it, and he only now found out that some people don't know when they have entered people's hearts, and if they really care, people will suddenly find that her existence is more than the existence of the person he originally thought, which is really a miraculous thing.
She slept soundly, and apparently didn't feel when there was a person standing next to her, and this person was a bastard, and it kept her sad.
Shopkeeper Tong looked at the expression on Ah Liang's face outside, and couldn't help sighing, Tong Ying had already told herself about them, she said that she didn't want to wait for Ah Liang to let go of the person in her heart, she felt that waiting was a very hard thing, but the person she liked could never see herself, she couldn't hold on anymore, so she planned to let herself go, and begged the shopkeeper Tong not to make it difficult to hate Ah Liang because of this matter. This stupid girl clearly remembers this man in her heart, but she wants to force herself to say something insincere, which really makes him feel sad and sad as a father. That bastard boy, what's wrong with Tong Ying, why can't he be treated well? He wanted to go in and question, but when he saw Ah Liang Ming worried, he suddenly couldn't open his mouth again, maybe it was just because he was young and couldn't understand what love was like, so he was so nonsense, maybe this time he finally understood what Tong Ying was to him, whether it was someone who could make him change his mind.
After all, the daughter's heart still can't let go of this person, so it is better for them to explain all this clearly, he will not mix in it, and finally left here with a moving step.
Ah Liang gently stroked her forehead, and when he felt the person behind him leave, he said very guiltily: "Ah Ying, I'm sorry, I finally know where I did it now." In fact, what Miss said is very right, people's lives are actually very short, and there is not so much time for us to think things clearly, if you don't want to regret it, you have to cut through the mess quickly, and understand what you want as soon as possible, it took me so long to finally figure it out, the kind of love for Miss at the beginning is just obsession, nothing, and you don't know when it has entered my heart, I really don't know how to say these words to you, I really don't have the face to say these words to you, Do you want to laugh at me? I swore so much by what I said at the beginning, but it didn't take long for me to come back and make my face bigger, but even so, I still have to tell you, I was really wrong, I'm sorry for you, don't be angry, okay? No matter how much you want me to compensate you in the future, I am very willing. ”
Tong Ying actually didn't fall asleep, she didn't think that she would hear such words after being woken up by him, how could she be unhappy in her heart, how could she not be satisfied? But he was also very angry with him, why did he love him so wholeheartedly, but he always pretended to be another woman in his heart? It's too unfair to her, even if she admits that Miss is really beautiful, even if he is a man, he will definitely like Miss, but she still can't help but care that this person is the person she loves, in fact, a woman's heart is really small, and she can't hold much things, but even so, he still can't help but want to be close to him and love him, but he can't make him feel that life is too easy.
She opened her eyes and pushed him away, asking seriously, "What are you still doing here?" I thought about it for so long and didn't want to think about it, I finally thought about it clearly, there are so many problems between us, we can't even talk well, so let's not wronged each other, you go after the life you want and the person you like, and I find someone who doesn't dislike me, let's live our own life again, don't torture each other like this, it's meaningless, it's too hurtful. Although I know how sad I will be if I can't continue to walk with you, but I don't want to wronged myself for you, I have endured a lot during this time, until I can't hold it anymore, so I think I should wait for others to love me, instead of me taking the initiative to love others, so that I won't feel tired and painful. ”
Ah Liang never thought that Tong Ying would really have such a thought, first stunned there, and then laughed and said, "Ah Ying, don't be like this, okay?" I know I'm not a good person anymore, but will you give me a chance to change? It's not that I'm stimulated by anything in the capital, but I feel like I really found that I almost missed something. ”
