Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ancient Trial of the Novice 18

Unexpectedly, on the second day, Zuo's dug Yaxi out of the bed early in the morning. The www.biquge.info brought a bunch of clothes from the tailor's shop and let her try them on for two hours. After trying on clothes, I began to choose a bun, a hairpin, and even several makeup.

After watching Zuo's and a group of little maids busy, Yaxi suddenly remembered his mother and Huang's mother in the campus text. Probably my mother is like that.

Thinking like this, Yaxi smiled, and cooperated more with Zuo's toss.

This choice was chosen in the evening. It has to be said that the effort was not in vain.

When Yaxi appeared at the banquet, it really made people unable to take their eyes off. Yaxi, who is 16 years old, has faded away from her previous immaturity and shows the delicacy of a girl. is picturesque, gentle temperament, and Yaxi, as a modern person, has unique self-confidence and ease. Among the many warblers and swallows, they are also extremely conspicuous. Zuo was naturally very proud, but this pride disappeared without a trace when he heard the envoy of the enemy country propose to marry his own daughter.

As soon as the envoy's voice fell, the banquet fell silent.

The emperor sat on a high seat and couldn't see clearly. He seemed to chuckle lightly and said, "The daughter of the Zuo family is really big-hearted. ”

Hearing this, Yaxi's heart tightened, and he turned his head to his family with a solemn face. Biting her lower lip, she made a decision.

Yaxi got up and walked to the center of the hall. knelt down straight, looked at the people on the high platform, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, only with the sacrifice of all the soldiers can we have a stable life." In three years of war, too many soldiers paid with their lives. I am willing to never marry for the rest of my life, stay in the Buddhist hall forever, and chant the scriptures for the departed heroic souls all day long. May Your Majesty be fulfilled! As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

Yaxi knew that the Nine Emperors had asked to marry Zuo Mengchen before, which had already made the emperor have a problem with the Zuo family.

Today's matter, if it is not handled well, it will make the emperor hate the Zuo family. Someone from the Zuo family must pay the price to appease his anger.

How could Yaxi bear to let her brother who loved her, or her parents who had no worries about food and clothing, suffer. In that case, let yourself do it.

The girl said categorically with a sweet and soft voice, which made the air in the hall stagnant again. No one could have imagined that a young girl who had just reached the end of her life could be so resolute and brave.

The emperor looked at Yaxi, showed a loving smile, and said, "It's rare that you have this kind of sincerity, so you will practice in the temple in the future." ”

Yaxi smiled lightly and saluted, and then withdrew. Within a quarter of an hour, Zuo Xiaoyu made an excuse to leave the table. And Yaxi always maintained the most appropriate smile, accepting the eyes of other scrutiny.

By the end of the banquet, Yaxi's face was stiff with a smile. I went back to the house with Zuo's Zuo Xiang, briefly comforted Zuo's for a few words, and then came out of the main courtyard and asked the maid beside me: "Brother, where are you now?" ”

"Young Master, it's in the small garden." The maid replied respectfully.

Knowing Zuo Xiaoyu's whereabouts, Yaxi went to the small garden. From a distance, I saw Zuo Xiaoyu, dressed in green clothes, sitting on the ground, his hairband torn off and thrown aside. A haphazard head of black hair was scattered casually, and several flasks were placed next to it.

This scene made Yaxi's breath stagnate, and the blood-stained land in his dream seemed to appear in front of him. Ah-hee stood behind him and was silent for a long time. Only then did he call softly: "Brother, I was wrong. ”

Zuo Xiaoyu chuckled and poured another sip of wine into his mouth. Speaking to himself: "When I was five years old, I had you. You're like a little white ball of meat, a soft mess. I don't even dare touch you. When you saw me, I cried, and I thought, this sister is really annoying. No matter how old you are, every time you see me, you are extremely happy, and you have to smear my face every time. And then ......"

Ah-hee sat next to Zuo Xiaoyu and listened to him talk about the past in a nostalgic tone. The evening breeze makes people feel the urge to cry.

"Then, I told myself that I would find you the best husband in the world, and I would find someone who loved you more than me." As he spoke, he poured another sip of wine, and some of it spilled on his clothes, staining it and making him look very embarrassed.

He seemed to put on a self-deprecating smile and said, "Still, that's fine. Where do I go to find someone who loves you more than I do? ”

Zuo Xiaoyu lowered his head, hooked the corners of his mouth, and let out a low laugh. He poured the wine into his mouth again, and his face seemed to have water marks, whether it was wine or tears.

"Brother." Yaxi's heart was suddenly stung, and she called Zuo Xiaoyu softly.

Zuo Xiaoyu threw the wine jug aside, wiped the wine from his mouth fiercely, and staggered up: "Sister, promise my brother one thing." You're leading the practice, okay? ”

Yaxi stopped the tears that were about to fall and nodded desperately.

"It's late at night, let's go back." After saying that, he waved his hand and went in the direction of his yard.

Yaxi was not at ease, so she followed him from a distance. I watched him be welcomed in by Yin Feng before turning around and going back to his yard.

Mama Li, Lu Yi and Liuli seem to have gotten the news a long time ago. Qi Qi stood in front of Yaxi, and stopped talking several times.

Yaxi looked at their tangled appearance, but showed a smile and said, "Tomorrow, I will leave for the National Temple." I told my mother that when I was gone, I would give you the deed of sale. There's also my own money, so let's divide it among the three of you. ”

"Second Miss! We're not leaving! The three of them fell to their knees with a plop, tears streaming down their eyes.

Yaxi hurriedly went to help the older Li's mother and said, "What are you doing here?" When I go to the National Temple this time, it must be a penance, and I can't take you there. Only when I suffer, the emperor will remember the Zuo family's years of hard work, and be a little more tolerant of my father and brother. ”

Seeing that the three of them shook their heads desperately, they resisted strongly. Yaxi changed his words and said, "If you really don't want to, then guard this place for me." However, take both the deed of sale and the silver, and it will not be in vain that you have taken care of me for many years. ”

Mother Li and the others still refused, and Yaxi persuaded a few more words. Seeing Yaxi's insistence, they knelt down again and said in unison, "Slaves, wait for the second lady to come back!" ”

Ah-hee smiled and waved them down. But they refused, they couldn't convince Yaxi a few times, and they cried a few times, and waited for Yaxi to sleep peacefully. They just withdrew.

The next day, it was another parting. When packing her luggage, Mama Li desperately stuffed things into it, afraid that Yaxi would not be used to it, and she was afraid that Yaxi would not be used to it. Yaxi said a few times that he didn't need to, but the old man put things in with tears in his eyes, which finally made people want to cry.

Yaxi really couldn't bear to brush off the old man's kindness, so he brought a lot of things. The three of them cried a few more times, Lu Yi and Liuli cried a few wet handkerchiefs, and Li's mother almost fainted from crying several times.

I said goodbye to my father and mother again. And Zuo Xiaoyu seemed to have recovered his previous appearance, rubbing Yaxi's hair and saying goodbye, as if this was a simple parting.

Yaxi carried his bags on his back and went to the National Temple in the early morning sunshine. The shadow of the lone walker is stretched very long.
