Chapter 97: The moon is like frost, and the son is goodbye
"Yes, Childe. One? Reading ??Ā· 1. KANSHU CC But where is Childe going? ā
Zhao Xing replied slowly: "Jifu." ā
Let's meet at Ji Fu tonight. This is the content of the letter.
The signature is: Zhang Manqian.
"Yes." Tian Bo replied without the slightest abnormality.
Zhao Xing glanced at him lightly, Fang Cai's letter, the ink is complete, and it doesn't look like it has been opened, and this letter was sent directly from the Right Fufeng Mansion, even if there is really a fine work inserted by Liu in this mansion, it will not involve Zhang Manqian.
Soon, Tian Bo prepared the sedan chair.
When they went out, the five men were in the hall. Qingfeng was displeased, "It's so late, where are you going?" ā
"Jifu. A new master was invited to the right Fufeng Mansion, and he invited me to listen to the play. Qingfeng, you don't have to accompany me tonight. Zhao Xing smiled, glanced around the hall, and answered very naturally and casually.
Qingfeng saw her eyes and knew that she wanted him to stay and watch over anyone in the room.
Xiao Zheng glanced at her lightly and coughed, "Aren't you afraid that the Taishi will be suspicious?" ā
Zhao Xing smiled, noncommittal. Turned to look at the shocking clouds next to him.
On the face of the shocking clouds, the clouds were still light and light, and he only said: "Don't listen too late, it hurts your nerves." ā
Kifu.
When Zhao Xing arrived, the housekeeper in the Ji Mansion had already led several servants to wait at the door.
Tian Bo and her retinue were arranged in the side hall, and the housekeeper personally led her in.
The cool moon is like an eyebrow,
All the way through the covered bridges of several courtyards, Fang walked into a small courtyard, the housekeeper stopped, smiled, personally pushed open the door of the courtyard, and made a "please" posture.
Zhao Xing saw that this place was not as good as other places, there were a few people or walking, or patrolling, but it was quiet and quiet, and he didn't feel a little understood, so he thanked the housekeeper and walked in slowly.
Then, outside the door, the housekeeper slowly closed the door of the courtyard.
The courtyard is cold and elegant, behind him, Zhao Xing only heard the "squeak" sound made by the wooden door, stopped, raised his eyes, and saw a lush green, the night sky is blue like washing, the crescent moon is like a hook, there is a stone table on the right side of the courtyard, count a few stone benches.
In the deep winter night, the air in the small courtyard is filled with bursts of sweet and mellow smell......
On the stone table, there are small plates of Yingying sweet brew, preserved fruits, and pastries: mint fruit wine, red bean crisp cheese, steamed red bean cake with osmanthus sugar, red bean fruit, plum blossom red bean square cake......
A man, dressed in white like snow, sits leisurely at the stone table, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, eyes like splashed ink, who else will there be besides Zhang Manqian?
It's just that I haven't seen her for a while, but Zhao Xing feels missing, resentful, hateful, and grateful...... The complicated sensations all poured into a river, slowly flowing through her body...... She stood there, staring blankly at him, as if she could hear the sound of her own blood flowing in the limbs. One?? Reading ???Ā· 1?K to A N?S to see H?U?Ā· ļ¼£?ļ¼£
Zhang Manqian saw that she was still standing in place, and a smile was hooked on her lips, "Come here." ā
As soon as Zhao Xing raised her head, she met his eyes looking at her, those eyes were as thin as the moonlight, and there was a little doting, and it seemed to be mixed with some concern and helplessness.
In my memory, over the years, how many times Zhang Manqian has laughed at her like this...... It seems that one hand can count it too.
She let out a self-deprecating wry smile and walked over quickly.
When she sat down, Zhang Manqian sandwiched a small piece of steamed red bean cake with osmanthus sugar for her, "Here, your favorite red bean cake, but you can't eat more." ā
Her heart trembled slightly, she lowered her head to take the plate he handed over, and heard his voice lower, and asked, "Does the injury on your body still hurt?" You haven't suffered much since you were a child, and it's hard to think about. ā
When Zhao Xing heard this, a warm one fell into the bright red and bright sugar-steamed red bean cake on the plate.
After so many years, she thought that after experiencing a change in her family, she had changed her crying problem......
However, even when he was injured that day, he shed tears not really because of the pain on his body, but because he was worried that his identity would be revealed.
After all, as she is now, what qualifications does she have to cry out for pain.
However, at this moment, his words pierced her heart and caused her old problems.
It turned out that he didn't care about her, it turned out that he still cared about her, and even, he remembered that she liked to eat red bean cakes, and she never thought about these things after she entered Chang'an......
She looked up, looked at him tightly, and blurted out, "That day, you looked at Atao, I ......"
"Well," Zhang Manqian replied softly, "Only she can help you, the Taishi has a heart for her." I beg her to ask the master for a favor for you. ā
Zhao Xing was slightly shocked, it turned out to be ...... It was because of Tao that Liu went to let her go.
Her heart trembled slightly.
Atao, Atao, yes, why do they like themselves? I should be like Ah Tao, and Ah Tao didn't think he had been disrespectful to her, but pleaded for himself. Tao is a good woman, and she is really an ugly and jealous stingy person. ??? ? A look at the book ??Ā· ļ¼ ļ¼«?ļ¼”?NSHU·CC
She slowly took two bites of red bean cake, poured a small half cup of mint fruit wine into her cup, raised it, and smiled bitterly, "You, you thank her for me, her great kindness, I will ...... in the future"
Zhang Manqian wrinkled her eyebrows and said: "You can't protect yourself, how can you repay this love?" ā
Zhao Xing was stunned, and smiled bitterly, yes, she is now unable to protect herself, how can she repay this love...... After arriving in Chang'an, she owed many favors, Huo Guang, Shi Ruoyan, and now he and Atao......
She didn't want to owe anyone else.
Don't want to.
Especially don't want to owe Atau.
The realization made her feel pain all over her body.
"I don't mean to blame, you have been injured and your life is dying, I just want you to understand that you have to do everything according to your ability, at least...... Protect yourself. Ahead, Zhang Manqian's powerful words came mixed with a faint mint fragrance.
His eyes were slightly tinged with a hint of rare sternness, as if he was scolding the naughty and playful girl at home.
Zhao Xing looked at him in a daze, this kind of pity made her feel embarrassed, he still cared about her. In those years, it was his father who trapped him, right? Even if he is wrong, how can he compare to her arrogance? Now that I think about it, I used to treat him all kinds of things, pestering him like a dog skin plaster every day, and I thought I was intervening in his life with self-inflicted affection, embarrassing and embarrassing him, and even did everything to destroy his blind date......
Isn't all this ridiculous enough?
She has never been worthy of him. But I have never been able to do my best.
She had mixed feelings for a while, and she didn't know what to say, but after a long time, the heat in her eyes gradually dried up, and she dared to raise her head and whispered to him, "Thank you." ā
Thinking of what she had been worried about before coming here, she hurriedly asked, "Liu Qu doesn't seem to know my identity yet, did you do something for me behind my back?" Only you, Ping'an, and Qingfeng know who I am, and if I think about it, only you can help with this. Otherwise, Miss Tao's plea may not be useful. ā
So not to mention the shallow friendship between her and Laifu five years ago, I'm afraid, only she took it seriously.
Zhang Manqian's eyes were lazy, and there was a faint hint of sharpness, "I used some connections to forge a new identity for you in Duling." ā
He didn't say a word about Shi Qing and Sang Hongyang. There are things she can't know, and she doesn't need to know.
"Does that matter to you? In case the matter is revealed in the future, you will be involved......"
"You don't care about that. Come, let me tell you about your new identity now, you must make a note of it, and don't show your flaws in front of the Grand Master. ā
Zhang Manqian sandwiched a piece of steamed red bean cake with osmanthus sugar for her, poured a small half cup of mint wine, and told her about the Su family in detail.
Listen to this man's gentle and quiet voice...... Zhao Xing's eyes were astringent, and for a moment, there was an illusion, as if time had been reversed, the apricot sun, the blue sky, the cold and the summer, the flowers and flowers flew, he was still the weak county official next door to her house, she was still a barbaric girl who didn't care about the big tyrants in the county.
His voice filled all the time she had ever had.
"Have you written it all?" Seeing that she seemed to be in a trance, Zhang Manqian frowned and scolded softly.
Although it was just a reprimand, his words had always been a deterrent to Zhao Xing, she nodded hurriedly, still worried about him, "You saw me tonight, you used Ji Di's mansion, the relationship between the two of us, how do you explain to him?" Will he embarrass you? She was in a hurry, and unconsciously reached out and grabbed Zhang Manqian's sleeve.
Zhang Manqian was slightly stunned, and glanced down at the sleeves that were tightly clutched by her.
Zhao Xing was stunned, smiled in disguise, and hurriedly let go.
Zhang Manqian remembered all the boldness she had in the past, but now she had become so humble, and she felt a little strange in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it felt like for a while.
"You are Miss Su's new identity, I'm afraid I'm going to tell him. But in this way, he knows that you are a woman. Zhang Manqian looked at her lightly and told her truthfully.
"It's okay," Zhao Xing said almost immediately without thinking, "as long as he doesn't embarrass you." If Ji Di really wants to deal with this problem, I will find another way. ā
Zhang Manqian didn't expect her to answer so neatly, knowing that she was concerned about her safety, her heart moved slightly, and in the end, she still gave an eviction order, "It's not early, you go back." ā
Zhao Xing bit her lip, "Man Qian, I... Let's sit down a little longer, drink and drink this pot of wine before saying goodbye, shall we? I have an injury and can't drink more, you drink slowly, I watch you drink, okay? After that, there will be no chance. ā
Zhang Manqian's eyebrows twisted, he had done enough for her, and he didn't want to have any emotional entanglements with her!
Although he has a gentle appearance, he is by no means an indecisive person in his bones, and said lightly: "Go back." ā
Although his tone was impatient, but after many years of getting along, Zhao Xing's perception of his joy and anger was more familiar than her own perception, and she understood his boredom at once.
She picked up the glass of mint wine he had just poured for her, drank it all in one gulp, and then slowly put the cup down.
She's always so headstrong! Even though he was in a difficult situation at this time, he still managed to protect her, what about her...... Zhang Manqian stood up.
Zhao Xing understood that he meant to send off a guest, and he was about to leave, so why annoy him again? She stood up almost immediately, explaining, "IāI'm not going to ...... anymore."
"Take care." Zhang Manqian interrupted her.
Zhao Xing smiled slightly bitterly, she just wanted to say: she won't pester him anymore, she really won't, if this is what he wants. She just wanted him to be genuinely happy.
"Man...... Zhang Gongzi, please take care too, please take care! She pursed her lips, smiled, squeezed out a sentence, and when she turned around, the tears finally couldn't hold back, and they burst out of her eyes in an instant.
The courtyard is secluded, the sweet and cool aroma of mint wine and red bean pastries is blowing to the nose in the evening breeze. She was shocked, walked a few steps, and couldn't help but turn around.
Zhang Manqian stood behind the stone table, her eyebrows were picturesque, but her eyes were already extremely powerful, staring coldly at her who was returning.
"You see, I've only given you a flute before, and I haven't given you anything else. Is there anything you're looking for? I didn't mean anything else, I just thought it was to thank you. Although Zhao Xing knew his thoughts, he still asked word by word.
Obviously she was desperately controlling not to let herself cry, but her eyes were still wet again, and she saw that Zhang Manqian's snow-white clothes were a little blurry in the night.
"I want Tao Wangqing, can you give her to me? Can you afford it? ā
The corners of Zhang Manqian's mouth provoked a thin smile, he raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at her, this man who has always been like a fairy looked evil and cold at this time.
"Atau......"
Zhao Xing repeated these two words softly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly.
This farewell is not a farewell but is better than a farewell, and she was defeated by the sound of the flute and the years she had worked so hard for, so she must let herself die completely.
She knew the answer.
When she pushed open the courtyard door and went out, she didn't seem to notice the threshold, and there was a stumbling under her feet, and she held on to the door frame before she walked out and was sent away by the housekeeper of the Right Fufeng Mansion who was waiting in the distance.
His heart sank inexplicably, and then he smiled coldly.
He sat down slowly, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip of it, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
After the tea time, someone walked in from outside the courtyard and said with a slight smile: "Oh, finished talking about the old one?" ā
The sharpness in Zhang Manqian's eyes had already receded, and when she saw that the person who came was wearing a cyan civilian clothes, but she was holding a bamboo flute in her hand, she laughed softly: "Senior brother has such leisure? ā
The person who came was the owner of this mansion - the wind should be facing the right. (To be continued.) )
