Red Paper Umbrella (IV)

Recently, the business of Fengyue Building has been very bleak, and those visitors who originally came to Gao Xia were there, but after hearing that Gao Xia girl had a sweetheart, they also turned their heads and fell under the pomegranate skirt of another Oiran. The once noisy and lively Fengyue Building finally has a quiet day.

In desperation, the shopkeeper of Fengyue Building, the famous monkey spirit and pungent woman, found Gao Xia.

"Tell me about you, you haven't taken a fancy to the son of Zhao Qian, Sun and Li, why did you fall in love with the poor boy who made the umbrella?" The shopkeeper didn't fight when he saw Gao Xia's anger, and the blood vessels in his body seemed to be blocked.

On the other hand, Gao Xia was leisurely, carefully wiping the red paper umbrella, the umbrella surface was bright and bright, without a trace of dust.

"Speak, what's so good about that poor boy? It's just that he's a little more delicate, so what's the use of that? I'm afraid you can't even put on a decent box of rouge gouache after him." The shopkeeper said angrily.

Gao Xia stopped wiping in her hand, and looked at the shopkeeper with a pair of bright eyes.

"Little lady, Xia'er was raised by you, except for my mother in this world, my mother is the best for me. ”

The shopkeeper's obedient anger was slightly suppressed, after all, who can't listen to good words?

"It's useless to say nice things. You also know that I also watched you grow up, I don't know what kind of character you have? The men in this world have a deceitful mouth, don't be deceived by your temperament. ”

Gao Xia shook her head, Chen Linjun's appearance appeared in her mind, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned upward.

"No, I don't know the little lady, he is the simplest man I have ever seen, and I can feel his liking for me, which is different from those men. ”

"Why is it different?" the shopkeeper jumped up from his chair and walked in front of Gao Xia. "It's not that the little lady said you, your eyes for picking men are really bad. There are so many young masters who don't choose, but they are fascinated by a few words of rhetoric from a poor boy. ”

"Little lady, Xia'er believes that he is not that kind of person. Gao Xia also got up from the chair, put down the red paper umbrella, and took the shopkeeper's arm. "Xia'er has also grown up, and I understand a little bit about children's affection, and compared to those men, I think he has more true temperament. ”

The shopkeeper pulled his arm out of Gao Xia's arms, let out a long sigh, and looked at her with some disappointment.

"Silly girl, I'm afraid that you will have a hard time in the future. ”

But Gao Xia didn't change her smile, "Little lady, it's a great thing to be our actor, and to meet a man who treats her sincerely." ”

The shopkeeper turned around and walked out of the house, and the moment he walked out of the house, he didn't forget to warn Gao Xia again not to be confused by a few rhetoric, but the latter only smiled faintly.

When the shopkeeper went downstairs, he happened to bump into Chen Linjun who came to look for Gao Xia, the latter smiled politely, while the former coldly rolled his eyes.

Pushing open Gao Xia's boudoir, a fragrance came to his face. As the top celebrity of Fengyue Tower, Gao Xia's boudoir is the best, ventilated on all sides, warm in spring and cool in summer.

Gao Xia was sitting on a chair carefully wiping the red paper umbrella, for her, the gift from her sweetheart was the best.

Chen Linjun still blushed when he saw it, but he was less nervous than before.

Gao Xia saw Chen Linjun coming, and hurriedly got up and pulled Chen Linjun in. The two sat side by side, and Gao Xia naturally rested her head on Chen Linjun's shoulder.

"Look at this red paper umbrella. Gao Xia picked up the red paper umbrella, the surface of the umbrella was dusty, and it was wiped very carefully. It can be seen how much Gao Xia loves on weekdays.

"This red paper umbrella is still as good as new. Chen Linjun reached out and touched the handle of the umbrella, looked at the surface of the umbrella without a trace of dust, and said with a smile.

"That's nature, and you should cherish your sweetheart's things. ”

Chen Linjun shook his head, "If you like me, I'll make it for you again, it's not like it's so bothersome." ”

Gao Xia lifted her head off his shoulders, and looked at him with watery eyes.

"If you don't have this umbrella, how can you know Childe? ”

"Miss Gao Xia. Chen Linjun also looked at him, as if he had decided something.

"What's the matter? ”

"I want to redeem myself for you, I want to marry you!" Chen Linjun's tone was quite firm, and he said seriously.

Gao Xia was stunned after hearing this, there are not a few men who want to redeem her over the years, but there is no one who wants to marry her. In the final analysis, it is because of Gao Xia's identity. Marrying a girl from the land of wind and moon as his wife, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed by others if I say it.

The serious invitation of the man in front of her really made Gao Xia's heart tremble, her nose was a little sour for some reason, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Childe is not afraid that he will suffer the shame of the world after marrying me?"

Chen Linjun shook his head, his attitude was still firm.

"I don't care what people in this world think, I just know that I like you. Since I like you, then you are the morning and twilight of the world, and then the sun, moon and stars are all yours. ”

Something swirled in Gao Xia's eyes, and she couldn't bear to fall. Gao Xia sobbed softly, wiped her sleeves in front of her eyes, and then shook her head with a smile at Chen Linjun.

"Childe, you can't afford to pay the ransom, don't spend that unjust money for the sake of the little girl. Today, it is enough to have the words of the child. ”

Chen Linjun gently took Gao Xia's hand and looked at her with autumn water.

"You wait for me, and when I have saved up enough money, I'll take you away. If selling a thousand umbrellas is not enough, then 10,000, 10,000 umbrellas are not enough, then 100,000, and one day I will take you out of here with my own hands. ”

"Childe, you're so stupid. ”

Slowly, slowly, she kissed his slightly pale lips, gently closed her eyes, and a few hot tears slowly fell. He kissed her shallowly, kissed her softly on the lips, and the two hearts were completely close together at this moment.

It was late at night, Chen Linjun sat at the table with a lamp, holding a carving knife and carving something on the handle of the red paper umbrella.

This was brought back from Gao Xia during the day, and it was only because Chen Linjun wanted to engrave something on this red paper umbrella that Gao Xia regarded as a treasure, so that he took it back.

When he finished carving the last stroke, Chen Linjun exhaled a long breath, although his palms and forehead were already covered with sweat, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.

"The autumn rain rises slightly, and life and death are inseparable. Chen Linjun muttered repeatedly, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

When he just wanted to stand up and stretch, he suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood gushed up, and the already bright red umbrella surface became more and more vivid after being stained with Chen Linjun's blood.

Chen Linjun held on to the corner of the table, and almost fell to the ground without standing firmly, and it took a while to slow down before he got a little better.

"Looks like we're going to rest for a while. Chen Linjun comforted himself, thinking that it should be due to not having a good rest in the past few days.

He picked up a cloth and tried to wipe the blood from the red paper umbrella, but found that it was as if it was dyed, and he couldn't wipe it off. In desperation, Chen Linjun had no choice but to give up.

The umbrella now looks even newer than it was when it was made.

After turning off the lights, Chen Linjun rested, he dreamed of washing and cooking with Gao Xia, she taught him to play the piano, he taught her to make umbrellas, the two laughed very happily in the dream, so Chen Linjun laughed when he fell asleep.

Chen Linjun went out early in the morning, and couldn't wait to hand over the engraved red paper umbrella to Gao Xia's hand.

"Have you heard? The son of the Li family paid 10,000 taels of silver to redeem himself for Gao Xia, the top celebrity of Fengyue Tower, and wanted to be included in the door as a concubine. ”

"Isn't it, the son of the Li family has always loved Miss Gao Xia, but the ransom of this 10,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid that only the son of the Li family came out. ”

"You said that the top celebrities in Fengyue Building are gone, so how can you open your door to do business. ”

"Hey, if I have 10,000 taels of silver, what kind of business will I do? ”

"Yes, yes, yes. In the future, I won't be able to appreciate Miss Gao Xia's overlord farewell concubine, and it's a pity to think about it. ”

Early in the morning, the city spread all over the city about the Li family's son's redemption for the famous singer Gao Xia, and there was a lot of uproar for a while.

The conversation between pedestrians on the road reached Chen Linjun's ears, and Chen Linjun rushed over and grabbed one of them by the collar.

"What did you just say? What did the son of the Li family redeem himself for the famous Ling Gao Xia, and he still wants to take a concubine? What are you talking about!" Chen Linjun was furious, as if his heart was cracked.

"You...... You let go!" The person who was grabbed was a little dazed and wanted to tear Chen Linjun's hand off his collar, but Chen Linjun grabbed it and didn't let go.

"Say what you just said again!"

"You...... You...... What are you doing......" Seeing Chen Linjun like this, the man was really a little panicked, and he even trembled a little when he spoke.

"Say!" Chen Linjun's tone became more and more cold, and his whole body trembled unconsciously due to excessive anger.

"Yesterday...... Last night, the son of the Li family suddenly went to Fengyue Tower, bringing several boxes of silver to redeem Miss Gao Xia. A whole 10,000 taels of silver, and I gave it without blinking an eye. The shopkeeper is not stupid, how could he not do it when the great business is delivered in front of him? Afterwards, the news came that the son of the Li family wanted to take Miss Gaoxia as a concubine. ”

After hearing this, Chen Linjun was like a thunderbolt in the sky, he let go of his hand, staggered back, and repeatedly muttered something in his mouth.

"Didn't you say you'd wait for me? Why?

The man who was let go straightened his collar and punched Chen Linjun to the ground with a punch.

"Stinky boy, do you dare to touch grandpa me? is another man who can't stand Miss Gao Xia's coming out of the pavilion, I'm sorry, just like you, you deserve to admire Miss Gao Xia." After that, he didn't forget to kick Chen Linjun who fell to the ground, and then relieved his anger.

Chen Linjun collapsed on the ground, curled up in a ball, holding the red paper umbrella that had just been engraved last night in his arms, and refused to get up for a long time.

"I don't deserve ......"

"I'm not worthy......"

"I should have thought a long time ago, how could I be worthy of you......"
