Chapter 436: Third Sister
Wanchun was helpless, so she had to follow the acquaintance out of the nunnery, Rong Shaotang had been waiting for a long time outside the door, and when she saw her come out, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Is this day okay on the mountain?" What about grandma, did you say when you will go back? ”
Wan Chun shook her head and said, "You don't have to wait for grandma, she is still talking about Buddhism with Master Huizhen, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to go down the mountain tonight." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infofireramp.ranen'"
"Can't get down the mountain? That...... What about you...... Are you going to stay in the mountains? ”
Rong Shaotang didn't expect the Xu family to stay on the mountain, but he was a little caught off guard, so he had to look at Wanchun in a daze.
Wan Chun shook her head again: "No, grandma told me to go back with you first." ”
"This ......" Rong Shaotang's heart suddenly turned from cloudy to clear, and he understood Xu's hard work, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Then please go down the mountain with me." ”
Wan Chun nodded slightly at him, thanked the acquaintance, and the two of them turned back along the road up the mountain together.
Because the Xu family often comes to the mountain to worship the Buddha, there are street lights along the mountain road, and it doesn't feel dark at night.
Wan Chun walked silently beside Rong Shaotang, originally she wanted to walk faster, but she found that she walked fast, Rong Shaotang also walked fast, she was slow, he also slowed down, and he always did not leave her. After tossing a few times, she was tired of walking, but she didn't want to worry about it, so she calmed down and walked on without hurrying.
The mountain road is long, and neither of them is mute, so it is not good to be silent all the time.
Rong Shaotang didn't know what Xu's persuasion was, so he took the first step and said tentatively: "What did you do with your grandmother on the mountain today?" ”
Wan Chun didn't want to deal with her, but when she thought about it, she remembered what Xu said, but she couldn't bear to embarrass him, so she said: "I worshipped the Bodhisattva, copied the Diamond Sutra, and listened to a story." ”
Rong Shaotang saw her speak, it was obvious that Xu's persuasion had an effect, implied joy, and asked her busily: "Can you also listen to stories on the mountain?" What's the story? ”
"The Tale of a Businessman and Four Wives." Wan Chun said, he continued to ask, so he told the story first, the tone was frustrated, and the voice was tactful, just like the mountain stream spring water faintly ringing in his ears, clear and ethereal.
Rong Shaotang listened, his heart was also very touched, and he walked quietly beside Wanchun, and said for a long time: "I'm sorry, Nannan." ”
Wan Chun's eyes were light, and in the darkness of the night, she looked straight at his face: "Why do you want to say sorry?" ”
Rong Shaotang let out a long breath and said after a moment: "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you." I'm also sorry that I would take the liberty of divorcing you because of another you. I'm even more sorry that I was a businessman and neglected my first wife. ”
"Heh......" Wanchun grinned, wanting to laugh, but before her face was revealed, tears fell first. When Xu said that Rong Shaotang was her heart, she thought about it, why wasn't she Rong Shaotang's heart? It was born and died with him, but what he saw was never her. She thought that she would not be able to wait for him to understand this truth in her life, but she didn't want to hear the answer at this moment.
Wan Chun choked up, turned his head silently, and pretended to be looking at the road under his feet.
Rong Shaotang accompanied her, and continued: "I only hate that I met you too early, but I heard too few stories and understood the truth too late, so that you suffered a lot of undeserved grievances. It's me who is sorry for you! You're right, you're not Deng Wan'er, you're the fourth lady of the Li family, and you're also the wife I'm marrying. ”
"I used to be so, but now I'm not your wife, and a word of sorry is enough, more...... Nor are those necessary. Wanchun couldn't help but feel sour and reluctantly smiled.
"No, that's what I'm going to say to you, and I want you to hear it, even if you won't forgive me."
Rong Shaotang smiled bitterly slightly, looking at the boundless night, it seemed to be a curtain, covering the two of them tightly. If it weren't for the mountain wind, he really hoped that this road could be longer, so long that they couldn't finish it in their lives.
It's a pity that no matter how good the mountain road is, there will eventually come to an end, seeing the dotted lights in the mountain house shining through the mountains and forests, Rong Shaotang clenched his fists and said angrily: "So, Nannan, can you give me another chance?" So that we can start again? ”
Give it another chance?
Wan Chun quietly wrung her handkerchief, thought for a while, and said to Rong Shaotang: "The story of my second sister Zhongqing and brother-in-law Tan Rulin, you must already know, but have you ever known the story of my third sister Shuyun?" ”
Shuyun?
Shuyun?
Rong Shaotang was a little strange, he knew that Li Lanfeng only had four children under his knees, two sons and two daughters, Wanchun was the youngest one, two brothers and one sister, I only heard that she had a third brother, but I had never heard that there was a third lady in the Li family. He shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Wan Chun raised her head slightly, looked at the light above like a moonlight, and said slowly: "My third sister Li Shuyun, and I are sisters of the same mother, but the year she was born, did not catch up with the good time, coincided with the uprising in various places, my father was leading the army in Tianjin at that time, my mother originally took the eldest brother and second sister to take refuge in Suzhou, and also gave birth to the third sister in Suzhou, and later the previous dynasty sent people down to arrest my mother to threaten the Li family, and my mother had no choice, so she took her eldest brother Bo Yu and the second sister Zhongqing, disguised and mixed among the displaced people, and escaped the enemy's blockade. It's just that when she left, the third sister Shuyun was less than a year old, and her mother was afraid that the road would be bumpy, so she handed her over to a local nurse in Suzhou to support. Later, the nurse also fled with the people, and she couldn't bear to leave the third sister, so she took her to Shanghai, and since then, the mother has never seen the third sister again. When I was about to turn eighteen that year, I met a man in Shanghai who called the third brother-in-law, and I learned that the third sister had passed away, and I took her children with me. Do you know how my third sister died? ”
Rong Shaotang shook his head, Wan Chun silently waited for the tears on his face to flow down the corners of his eyes, exhaled deeply, and said: "I was killed by my third brother-in-law, if it weren't for the third sister's dream for me, I almost couldn't believe that the third brother-in-law would have designed to drown her and the child in the Yijiang River." The third sister's child was still so young, and she had just learned to call her mother, but she was drowned by her father. ”
"The world...... There is such a tragic thing! ”
Rong Shaotang was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't know that after the calm of the Li family, there was such a turbulent story, so he said: "What about later? ”
Wan Chun smiled bitterly: "Later, naturally, I told my mother the truth, my third brother-in-law failed to deceive the Li family, but died without a place to be buried, do you think he is ridiculous?" ”
"No, this is what he deserves." Rong Shaotang sighed slightly, killing his wife and daughter is already a heinous crime, let alone killing his own wife and daughter, "But why is he?" "Miss Li Jiasan can't marry a wife who can't be married by anyone, how can anyone want to kill her? (To be continued.) )
