Chapter 41: Change
"And then? What happened to that girl? When night fell, in the candlelit post room, Lu Shaoyun couldn't help but ask about the ending of the story. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Later, later she got out of the customs and stayed alone outside the customs for three years, and then she was killed."
"Killed?! Who killed her? ”
"Her husband's wife, that wife should be jealous, so she will do it on the day when the woman plans to move the graves of her parents and younger brother. The wife found someone to ambush on the mountain road and prepared to kill the woman first/rape/later, but her vicious plot did not completely succeed, the woman was rescued, and finally kept her innocence, and died between the graves of her parents and brother without worry. Xia Shuanghan recounted this, took a deep breath to save herself from those suffocating memories, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, don't you think that if I marry you, this story will be the end for you and me?" ”
Xia Shuanghan's sudden words caught Lu Shaoyun off guard, and he reflexively said eagerly: "Impossible, this is just a story, how can it be taken seriously?" ”
"Does Lu Gongzi think you can't take it seriously?" Xia Shuanghan smiled, laughing so much that Lu Shaoyun felt very uncomfortable, he knew that she was going to say some cruel words to hit him again. "Master Lu, why do you have a good impression of me and why Lu Guogong thinks that you and I are compatible, I know very well the reasons for this. Because, in the Dingguo Mansion and even in the entire capital, you can't find an official lady like me. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to other people who are very different from you. It's like eating, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and occasionally wanting to change to porridge and side dishes after eating too much——"
"You're not a side dish of porridge with a change of flavor! You can not accept my feelings for you, but why should you look down on it? Xia Shuanghan's analogy made Lu Shaoyun angry, he stood up, stepped in front of Xia Shuanghan in two steps, and pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Listen," Lu Shaoyun said, clasping Xia Shuanghan's head on his chest and said, "Can't you hear, if you just change the flavor of the porridge and side dishes, you don't deserve my heart beating so fast for you!" ”
The heartbeat of "bang", the warm embrace and the familiar breath suddenly reminded Xia Shuanghan of his past life, in his previous life, on the night she was about to leave for Guanwai, Lu Shaoyun came to her for the last time, and he told her that except for her Xia Shuanghan, he would not touch all the women in this world, and his wife would always be the only one of her. However, even though he gave her a warm hug and a lingering kiss, she still left him without looking back. In this life, will she once again step into the prison of the Dingguo Mansion for this embrace that she is so attached to? Xia Shuanghan thinks that she will not!
"Okay, Lu Tingxuan, even if it's wrong for me to belittle your feelings for me at will, but it doesn't solve any problems, does it?" Xia Shuanghan nestled quietly in Lu Shaoyun's arms, trying to get a trace of strength from him to continue to support her. "Lu Tingxuan, do you know that the most attractive thing about me before we get married will become the biggest obstacle to our future married life."
"My personality is free, casual and flamboyant, and it is impossible to accept the aggrieved life of the ladies of the family who do not go out of the door and do not step out of the second door! The life I want to live is my wife, husband and children, not my mother-in-law and concubine, but a large family! If I marry you, will you be able to move out of the country and live with me in your own small home? Can you guarantee that I can raise and teach my children with my own hands without being dictated by my nurse or mother-in-law? Can you guarantee that I can go out whenever I want and ride my horse to the streets as I want? Can you promise that I will always be the only woman in the future, and even if there is a woman given to you by divine decree and decree, you will resolutely not accept it? You...... Can you? ”
"You...... Stop it. Holding his sweetheart in his arms, Lu Shaoyun didn't feel half joy or happiness, he admitted that he was thinking too shallowly. He thought that if he wanted to be with Xia Shuanghan, the biggest obstacle was Liu Zirun. But today he discovered that the biggest obstacle was actually as Xia Shuanghan said, the things he loved in her.
"Lu Tingxuan, I don't know if I would believe it if I told you that there is no third person in your Lu family who likes me except for you and Grandpa Guo, but I still want to keep talking. The back house of the Guogong Mansion is in your mother's hands, as long as she doesn't like me, even if you and the Guogong defend me, she can still find an opportunity to clean me up with all kinds of fair and honest reasons. Wife and mother, these two are the palm and the back of your hand to you, and you are such a filial son, so, in the face of your mother, even if you know that I have been wronged, you will not be able to help me get justice. You may think that by being kind to me and trying to make me happy, you can heal the wounds I have suffered from your mother, but don't forget that dignity is priceless to me! It can't be exchanged for affection and money! ”
"Don't say it......" Xia Shuanghan's words were so calm that Lu Shaoyun didn't even have the courage to listen to it anymore. Yes, if Xia Shuanghan marries him, what can he give her? Real money? The money she made from selling her paintings was enough to cover all her daily expenses. Jewelry? A girl who doesn't care about her own flaws, would she want this? A true heart, a true feeling? She is a person who can even give up Liu Zirun, who has been in love for ten years, how can she be rare in his feelings?
"Lu Tingxuan, as the saying goes, it's easy to fall in love and it's hard to stay together. In the Dingguo Mansion, I want dignity, equality and freedom, but that can only be a fool's dream! But if I let go of my dignity, pride and stubbornness, am I still the summer frost that makes your heart flutter? I'm afraid, not. ”
Xia Shuanghan said this, slowly withdrew from Lu Shaoyun's embrace, and still said with a smile: "If I marry you, I will run away or go crazy because I can't stand the life in the Guogong Mansion; If you marry me, you will slowly wear out the love for me in your heart because of the dilemma. So, Lu Shaoyun, you and I, the two of us are not suitable. If we insist on coming together, we can only usher in a tragic ending like the story just now. ”
Xia Shuanghan's words hit Lu Shaoyun powerlessly, yes, she is like a snow lotus blooming on the cliff of the bitter cold land in the extreme north, he can indeed climb it down, but he can't provide it with the growth environment it needs. Barely keeping her by her side, she really only has to wither.
"Master Lu, I think we've all finished what we need to say, and it's time for me to rest." Xia Shuanghan said and gently put his hand on Lu Shaoyun's right forearm, and said, "Can I trouble you again, please send me back to the room?" ”
When night fell, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, but Lu Shaoyun, who was in a heavy mood, did not feel sleepy, he sat alone on the courtyard wall near the stable in the backyard of the post station, facing the window of the room in the cold summer and fell into contemplation.
"Dude, are you suffering from lovesickness?" Lin Xiran, who didn't want to continue to watch Lu Shaoyun in a daze on the second floor, jumped out of the window of his room, and after sitting down next to Lu Shaoyun, he said, "Since you are thinking about Miss Xia in your heart, why didn't you spend a little longer alone just now?" ”
"I want to, but Frost doesn't want to." Lu Shaoyun turned his head to look at his small hair and confessed his emotional frustration. "She doesn't like me, so she doesn't want to be with me."
"......" Lin Xiran was embarrassed, and he still didn't know what to say after holding back for a long time, so he decided to change the topic: "Does the injury on the corner of your mouth still hurt?" ”
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Lu Shaoyun touched the swollen inner wall of his mouth with the tip of his tongue and said, "Actually, it's not as bad as it seems, just be careful not to bite it when eating." ”
"Since it doesn't hurt, can I punch you?" Lin Xiran pointed to the small wound that had scabbed over his throat, and joked: "The injury on my arm is a temptation, so I don't have to worry about you, but the injury that Miss Xia made with a dagger is really a disaster!" With that, shouldn't you let me punch me too? ”
"Yes, but I'm going to give you two punches in return. For the first punch, you actually dared to pretend to be numb in your feet to induce my fiancée to hug you; The second punch, you actually dare to hold my fiancée and roll the grass slope together. With these two points alone, you should obediently let me punch at least two punches. ”
"Lu Tingxuan, I said, how can you talk nonsense with your eyes open and beat a rake?" Lin Xiran was made two points angry and eight points funny by Lu Shaoyun's answer, "When did I tempt Miss Xia to hug me?" Today, she has always been in charge of everything. ”
"I know, that's why I'm going to punch you twice."
