Chapter Eighty-Eight: Breaking Zhu Chilian's Shallow Dreams

A few months later, the engagement banquet of the second lady of the Chen family was even more gorgeous than the eldest young master. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Dashuai originally thought that the man's face was earned by himself, and the daughter's face was given by his mother's family. The bride can be low-key, but the marriage girl may as well be in charge. What's more, the son's happy event, the banquet is held in his own home, which is natural, and the daughter's happy event is still held in his own home, as if he has brought down the son-in-law, who is disrespectful to his in-laws, and wants to do it in his in-laws' house, and the Jiang family does not have such a big place, so he can only borrow a hotel place outside. This operation was grand, the hotel covered two floors, the happy brand was bronzing, the celebrities came to cheer, and the car of the congratulatory family lined up across the street.

Xu Ning also came to congratulate and bring a congratulatory gift, which is a refreshing and refreshing bamboo box, in which the bamboo pieces are divided into nine small grids horizontally and vertically, and each grid contains a snack, which is the size of a spare print on the desk. Each one has a different color, shape, with different fillings, leather, cooking heat is different, is to take the kind of small steamer to cook soup dumplings, each thin bamboo strip braided, the palm is big, it is enough to put a snack, even put nine times, pinch the time to cook out together.

"I learned it from my mother." Xu Ning said.

"I'll treasure it." Si Ling held the box with both hands and cherished it.

"No need," Xu Ning said, "This kind of will not be long in coming, and it will be hard tomorrow, maybe it will crack." Let's eat it! ”

When he said these words, Jiang Churen stood beside him and laughed. He had to laugh. Xu Ning also took a seat with a smile, and Si Ling didn't even have time to lead her into a seat. She thought that maybe she should ask Xu Ning to be a bridesmaid, just like in the movie, the two good sisters finally released their suspicions, and the second female received a bouquet at the wedding of the first female and met a new lover. But even Si Ling can't be so naΓ―ve.

There are some things that really can't go back. Like now, everyone laughs at each other, it is better to forget about each other.

What's more, it's just an engagement banquet, and there are no bridesmaids at all. Si Ling only needs to change into a dress, which is a Western-style evening dress, and it doesn't have to be as troublesome as a formal wedding.

When she went to the back dressing room to sort out her makeup, Sun Jing also came to help her with her makeup, and said, "A-Ning went back early." ”

Si Ling let out an "oh". The snack box was still next to it and didn't move. The waist of her dress was pinched too tightly, and it was difficult to drink some water, let alone eat glutinous rice snacks. Cracking tomorrow? Then I had to let it dry out. It's good to be a man and take care of today, who has so much blessing to pity tomorrow.

Sun Jing swept her hair behind her shoulders and praised in the mirror: "Look, such a beautiful girl, no wonder people are jealous." ”

Xu Ning is jealous? Si Ling thought, not to stop. That kind of emotion, if there is, is it long gone? The reason why I left the table early was probably boring. Even if gold dust and roses are sprinkled from the surface of the table to the sky, it is boring to be boring, so what can you do if you don't go? But if you can go, Si Ling wants to go!

But she also knew that it wasn't the night to drive a car and get out. She was afraid that she would wander in the night wind for too long, be alone, and die alone, and even more afraid that she would fall into a dream that she shouldn't want, so she hurriedly set a person for herself, locked herself in shackles, and then wandered, so far she should also have a little responsibility, and she couldn't just leave.

Sun Jing quietly looked for Si Ling's gaze in the mirror, and Si Ling suddenly raised her head and asked Sun Jing, "Are you also jealous?" ”

Sun Jing was stunned for a moment, but felt that these words were too prickly, and it hurt her heart. She looked directly at Si Ling, and Si Ling was also looking at her. The lights on the mirror platform were too strong, and Si Ling's face was pale, as if he was dead, and the rouge had faded a little, and he hadn't made up for it, so he should have hit a few more layers. Miss Chen Jiaer has lost weight again in the past few days, and some of the previous baby fat has been completely abandoned, and her eye sockets are slightly sunken, which is not filled with cosmetics, but her black eyes are even more swarthy and stunning, staring, like a ghost in hell.

The ghost is also a glamorous ghost, floating and beautiful, and can suck people's souls through.

The stylist paused only slightly, and went on with her work, as if she hadn't heard anything, didn't know anything. If you want to make a living by the side of an upper-class woman, you must be able to use this skill, be a flower stand that can only walk, a mirror that can flatter, be dumb when you should be dumb, and be blind when you should be blind.

Sun Jing looked away and replied to Si Ling: "Beauty, net worth, wisdom, courage, smooth life, and the love of others, the treasures that the world can give seem to be gathered in you, and no girl can not be jealous of you." But the most fundamental happiness comes from the Father. I have already obtained my share of happiness, please cherish yours too. ”

Sincere and serene, not leaking.

She picked up Si Ling's cheek and imprinted a kiss on Si Ling's hair. This is a blessed kiss from my sister-in-law to my sister-in-law.

However, Si Ling's scalp tingled and she felt a warning. What is Sun Jing ...... What are you warn of?

Si Ling's fingers were like ice, and he returned to the banquet without looking for Si Xiao's eyes. They have to go on with their lives, otherwise they will mislead others and themselves.

After the engagement banquet, Chen Dashuai really led the troops. It was supposed to go to the southwest defense line, but unfortunately the Red Army over there suffered a few setbacks, and a general saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and hurriedly squeezed Chen Dashuai down. Chen Dashuai was tired of infighting, so he gave it to him and retired to take on the responsibility of training the Songhu army. After New Year's Day, Sixiao submitted a report on the application of atomic ray tumor resection, and after finishing the task assigned by Professor Zhao, he also entered the Songhu barracks for training according to his promise with his father. No matter how the situation develops in the future, Chen Dashuai still hopes that his son will get closer to understanding his father's career and his father's battlefield.

As for Si Ling, he has become a wealthy idler second to none. Jiang Churen took a long vacation and took her to travel with her, from the equator to France, and it would run through the four seasons in a while. The beautiful scenery of various countries automatically shook in front of him like a marquee, Si Ling was dizzy and infected with a problem with alcoholism, no matter how good the scenery along the road outside the window of the car window and outside the window of the machine was, he didn't look at it, and shrunk his seat and hugged a champagne - as long as champagne and red wine were not good, he went into the cold palace after that headache. The same is true for red wine, but not for others? So there was no other choice. Fortunately, he had money, he booked first-class seats, and the champagne was all-you-can-drink, and Si Ling complained that there was no Kruger aging: "What? Black diamonds in Ampang? That's too old-fashioned after all! Jiang Churen stood next to him and just laughed, Si Ling was embarrassed, and muttered, "Okay, take it." Jiang Churen asked, "Do you want to have some caviar?" Si Ling thought about it, and there were small snacks around in front of him, soft, cracked, as if crying. She held her head and replied, "No, I'll just drink it." "I poured the cup, poured the drink, drank it in a daze, and fell asleep in a daze for a while, until the scenic spot, I was woken up, dizzily holding my arms and looking at the scenery with the crowd, the blue sea, the scarlet flowers, the exotic girl with her bare arms and waist, and the lover's selfless kissing. Si Ling was a little scared. But Jiang Churen didn't do what she was afraid of. He respected her so much that others looked at them like brother and sister. The most intimate contact was nothing more than her weak legs on the steps, he hugged her and complained: "Drink too much, dizzy, right?" ”

Yes, of course. No matter what kind of wine, you will get drunk and faint, so how can champagne be spared? But there is another saying that people are inherently dead, and it is also romantic to die under the peony flower. The thin bubbles in the champagne glass swayed day and night, like a spirit flag, which is a good way to die.

Drunk and dreaming of death, Si Ling was bored again, quietly left from Jiang Churen's side, bought a plane ticket by himself, and wanted to run home, the destination was set to Shanghai, when he was transiting in Jakarta, he was suddenly unhappy again, thinking that such a big earth, people ran out in turmoil, and projected back thousands of miles away like a fixed missile, isn't it ridiculous! She took her luggage out of the airport, changed some local currency, and walked around, only to feel that the dirty shops on the street were disgusting, and she was addicted to alcohol, and wanted to buy a bottle of wine, where is Kruger! Besides, there's nowhere to find ice buckets and tulip cups. She bought a can of beer, opened it, listened to the sizzling of those little bubbles, listened to it for a long time, and suddenly fell to the ground.

A jar of wine was no more than watering the field, and she was gone.

Walking legs are tired, there is nowhere to go, find a place to sit, fortunately there is a Chinatown ahead. The Tang people seem to be all over the world will blossom and bear fruit, and they will not integrate into the local area, they have to open a street to live, a few years later, there is a lost compatriot, dragging a rod of luggage and going crazy and wandering here, seeing a "Tang" word, tired birds know the nest, quickly walked in, only to know that they were fooled - the same yellow skin and black eyes, but the yellow is suspicious, the black is also suspicious, I don't know how many generations of mixed blood, even the language is not right, the words are grunting, God knows Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, in short, there is nothing but ears.

Si Ling's young lady had another seizure, and she didn't care if her legs were so tired that they were about to break, and she turned around and wanted to go out.

I actually saw a small movie theater at the corner of the street, and the signboard that had faded from the wind and sun read: Exclusive old films, all-night simulcast. There was a dark-skinned woman with a turban, sitting in the doorway and napping, with thick lips, and she seemed to be honest. Behind her hung a heavy velvet curtain, old enough that it no longer looked dirty, and the ash stains seeped into the bone marrow, becoming some kind of cultural relic. The sound of the movie leaked from under the curtain, but it was familiar. Si Ling asked, "Which one is being put on now?" ”

The woman's eyes were not fully opened, and a few words came out of her thick lips, I don't know if it was Niang or Nong, she gestured, and took out a banknote from her pocket to demonstrate.

Si Ling understood, people want so much money. She silently took out the money to pay, the woman silently moved her knees to the side, Siling herself opened the curtain with her shoulders and went in, and there was a smell in her nose, like tropical fruits covered too ripe in a quilt, and she couldn't tell whether it was fragrant or rotten. It's very dark in the small round hall, the film is Li Xiaqing's old film, the heroine is fresh, and she is watching the snow side by side with the handsome Xiaosheng who is not a lover.

After Si Ling adjusted to the light in the hall, he found that the seats were almost empty, and there were only a few figures scattered around. She sat in a position casually, as far away from the others as possible, the heroine spoke, and she actually opened a bird language, I don't know who did the Cantonese dubbing for her, weird tone, the quality of the film is passable, it is smooth, and the plot is also what Si Ling remembers, the heroine is enterprising all her life, and the most important goal is close at hand, but she was suddenly destroyed, causing her to fall into a state of semi-madness, discarding all the gorgeous clothes, wearing the simplest white clothes, speaking slowly, answering non-questions, and becoming a world of her own. People asked her what she would do in the future. The people who could really take care of her died. She didn't care, and said slowly: "Let's open a flower shop in the future." It is a small article written by the heroine in the film when she is not crazy, she remembers: "So many people will never touch it again if they miss it, and I will open a flower shop in the future, which can be called this name, 'neveragain', 'never', only selling roses, fresh, dying in the twilight, red face withered in the thorns, never ...... again"

"Never." Si Ling woke up with a mutter. It turned out to be a dream. She was so tired that she fell asleep in the dark and filthy theater with her luggage on her pillow. In fact, the movie didn't enter this plot at all, the deadly storm didn't start roaring at all, and the heroine was still swearing with the love of her life. It was Si Ling who recited too fast in her dreams.

There was an unbearable sound in a corner, like a stray dog snorting and biting a piece of discarded meat with water, or like a cat smacking bones. Si Ling's eyes were attracted, and he quickly pulled it back, but he caught a glimpse of a person sitting at the end of the row next to him, not looking at the screen, just looking at her, his face was black, and his eyes were shining, like some kind of beast. Si Ling stood upside down, jumped up, staggered and opened the curtain to go out, the sun shining in his eyes. Where did the woman next to her go? The old canvas-topped folding chairs are empty. Si Ling raised his hand to cover his eyes, feeling like he didn't know the sun, moon, spring and autumn. It seems that I have stepped on the wrong time here, and if I suddenly look back, I may be able to pick up the ten-year-old flat patent leather shoe print.

Someone on the other end of the alley called her: "Si Ling." ”

It's strange, she wasn't surprised, as if she knew that someone was destined to come to her. She fled to be found.

Looking up, the handsome figure with broad shoulders was from Jiang Chu.

This surprised her a little, and said slowly, "Is it you?" Once again, I confirmed the footprints of fate, and I don't know whether it is sad or happy. Jiang Churen walked over step by step, and the sun was behind him. Si Ling raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you find it?" ”

Jiang Churen looked at her, a camel-colored cashmere shirt, patches of gray on half-worn American jeans, hair tied back with the simplest rope, black bangs stuck to her cheeks, a dirty child.

Strange, it's beautiful.

She stood on the side of the road like this, like a stray cat, and he wanted to pick her up, put her in his pocket and take her home, pamper her, and coax her. One day will she let him come near and allow him to wash all the ash off her body? At that time, they could lie together on the terrace and watch the sunset grow thick and fade until the end of the years.

Jiang Churen never thought that he was willing to pay so much patience to a girl, it must be that he owed her a lot of money in his life, so he had to pay it back slowly, and until now, it was just some interest.

Si Ling was still frowning and waiting for him to answer, not knowing that he wanted to reach out and pick her up and put her back in his pocket. Jiang Churen held his hands tightly in his bag, for fear that he would not be able to control himself and scare her. He replied to Si Ling softly: "You can find out if you buy a plane ticket and change it." After getting off the plane, you also exchanged your local currency at the bank at the airport, right? ”

Si Ling nodded: She holds a Citibank VIP card, which can be exchanged worldwide, and the card can be used to directly withdraw the fixed numbers.

"The branch will settle with the head office, and this record can also be checked. But it doesn't have to go that far. Jiang Churen smiled with snow-white teeth and complimented her, "When I arrived at the airport, I directly asked if anyone had seen 'such a young lady'." And guess what? People all the way have an impression of 'this young lady'. Such a dazzling girl! A pearl everywhere. It's so easy to find you. ”

Si Ling was stunned: he wanted to find someone, and he found it everywhere. Halfway around the world, it's easy! …… It's just a matter of whether I want to or not. No matter what age it is, people who want to find you, slash and burn will also come to you. If you don't want to, you can just kiss your forehead in front of you and say, "Goodbye." ”

Si Ling was disheartened and said to Jiang Churen: "Let's go." He offered to put her hand in his hand.

They got on the plane, and Jiang Churen took the initiative to order wine for her. Si Ling shook his hand: "No." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Quit it." Outside the shop, listening to the bubbling of beer, her tongue was dry and her throat was smoking, and she wanted to pour it down. So she knew that she couldn't do it, she had to quit, and if she indulged herself, she would become a waste sitting in the mud holding cheap wine and getting drunk. She is not afraid of death, but she must die in style. There are already too many things in life that you can't help yourself, do you have to bend your knees to this little desire? She might as well tell it to get out of here!

Jiang Churen held his head and laughed.

Si Ling glanced sideways: "What are you doing?" ”

Jiang Chu said: "Look at what you say. I really think I'm a down-and-out hero. ”

Si Ling glared at him, and smiled unconsciously, Jiang Churen reached out and pulled the blanket on her leg up: "Sleep for a while." ”

Si Ling sighed. The two have only now become a bit of an unmarried couple. Si Ling saw his shadow in the window, just one size bigger than herself, and bent down towards her. She looked like a spoon one size smaller in his big spoon.

Si Ling's ears were a little hot, and when he closed his eyes, there was still the shadow of the sun in front of him, and it was warm and red.

- Hey, are they flying with the sun on their backs? That's the ...... East?

Si Ling opened his eyes. Her sense of direction is really not very clever, but when she thinks about it, she always feels wrong.

"Huh?" Jiang Churen felt that the female lynx next to her stood up again.

"Are we flying to China?"

"Yes." Jiang Churen increased his forehead with his hand, "God, you finally care." ”

It is dangerous to call the Holy Name when it is so close to the sky. Si Ling was afraid that there would be a loud sound of promise in the blue sky. She glanced at Jiang Churen: "Aren't you continuing to travel?" ”

"No," Jiang Chudao said, "You forgot?" Xu Ning's scholarship exam in the spring will start soon, which is related to whether she can continue to study. (To be continued.) )
