When she learned that she was ransomed by the prince Li and had to be a concubine, Gao Xia locked herself in the house. For a whole day and a night, without eating or drinking, no matter who came knocking on the door, it would not be opened.

The once elegant and neat boudoir is now a mess, with porcelain ornaments broken all over the floor, curtains and bedding cut with scissors, and cotton wool floating all over the room. Tables, chairs and benches are even more crooked.

Gao Xia sat on it with her long messy hair, her eyes bloodshot. There were a few more bloody scars on the originally white hands.

"Sister Gao Xia, Sister Gao Xia. A gentle female voice came from outside the house, but Gao Xia didn't hear it, still sitting on the ground motionless.

"Sister Gao Xia, open the door, you haven't eaten for a day, something will happen if you are so hungry. There was an anxious shout outside the house, but Gao Xia still ignored it.

There was no sound outside.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the shopkeeper took the key to the door, followed by a little maid with a meal.

"What's the matter, someone is willing to spend money to ransom you?"

The shopkeeper was not too surprised when he saw that Gao Xia's room was so different, as if everything was expected.

She picked up a chair from the ground and sat down, and after the little maid put down the meal, the shopkeeper waved at her, and the little maid withdrew from the room very sensibly.

"That Li Gongzi is a silk family, and his family is big. You followed him, although you are a concubine, but you can always live a life without food and clothing. The shopkeeper didn't look at her either, but stared out the window and said to himself.

"I really don't know what you think, if I'm like you, it's too late to be happy, how can I still be like you. ”

"Why? Why did you promise him?" Gao Xia's voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were a little red.

The shopkeeper's obedient words actually laughed, "Do you know what price Li Gongzi offered? 10,000 taels of silver, you can buy ten Fengyue Towers." ”

"You've raised me for ten years, don't you have a little feeling?"

"You also know that I have raised you for ten years! Tell me, have I ever asked you to do those meat selling business? I will teach you chess, opera, and dance, and train you to become the number one celebrity in Fengyue Building, without me, you would have starved to death!" The shopkeeper slapped the table and stood up, looked at Gao Xia, who was sitting on the ground with her head down, and said angrily.

Gao Xia couldn't help but sneer, "After all, you can completely ignore me for the sake of silver, can't you?"

"Yes, I'm just for the silver! Li Gongzi accepted you as a concubine, and you have lived a life of eating and drinking spicy food from now on, and I can take the silver and go back to my hometown to enjoy the blessings. Why don't I say yes to the best of both worlds?"

"But it's not him that I like!" Gao Xia raised her head and yelled at her.

The shopkeeper sighed and sat back in his chair. There was a flash of undetectable sadness in his eyes, just a flash, a flash.

"When I was young, I liked a man as much as you did, and I was willing to give everything I had for him. And then he lost me and married the daughter of a big family, which is why I told you that all the men in the world are the same when you were young. But then again, instead of following a poor boy with no money and power, it is better to follow a rich and powerful broad boy. ”

"Little lady, can you let me see him again?" Gao Xia pleaded, two lines of tears had unconsciously slipped from her eyes.

"Then Gongzi Li has already redeemed himself for you, and you are still thinking about that poor boy!" After hearing this, the shopkeeper became a little angry.

"Little lady, Xia'er didn't ask you for anything when she peed, this time I begged you, you just let me see him. Gao Xia said as she kowtowed to the shopkeeper, and after kowtowing a few times, her forehead broke, overflowing with blood.

"It's useless to beg me, if you go to see him now, spread the word about how you tell me to explain to that Li Gongzi!" The shopkeeper's tone was also very hard.

"Then Li Gongzi is afraid that he can only marry one corpse!" As soon as the words fell, Gao Xia casually picked up a fragment of a porcelain vase and put the sharp face on his neck. Because it was so close, a scratch had already appeared on his neck.

"Oh, this is really a stupid girl! put it down!" Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly got up, but he didn't dare to get too close, so he could only stomp his feet on the spot.

"Little lady, Xia'er is very grateful for the grace of nurturing over the years, if there is a fate, I will report it in the next life!"

"Wait!" Just as Gao Xia was about to raise her hand, the shopkeeper shouted and stopped Gao Xia's movements.

"I'll let you go to see him! Go see him! Oh, stupid girl, why can't you think about it. The shopkeeper was scared out of a cold sweat and said helplessly.

"Xia'er, thank you, little lady. Although she didn't raise her hand to draw down, she still maintained the original action, and it seemed that if the shopkeeper in front of her made any action, she would die in front of her first.

"While the food was still hot, I ate it quickly. Anyway, you have to eat enough to meet him. ”

When the shopkeeper walked out of the house, Gao Xia's body instantly weakened and sat on the ground. At this time, a beautiful face was full of tears, and the fragment of the porcelain vase held in his hand also cut two wounds that were not deep or shallow.

After closing the door, the shopkeeper leaned against the door and sighed helplessly.

"It's a bit similar to when the old lady was young. ”

The night is silent, and the lights are out.

Chen Linjun walked drunkenly on the deserted street, full of alcohol. He didn't know exactly how much wine he had drunk, cup after cup, pot after pot. He has never liked the taste of wine, and he has drunk all the wine in this life.

Chen Linjun held a wine jug in one hand, holding a red paper umbrella in his arms, and couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing on his face.

"Where do you wake up tonight? This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are a thousand kinds of styles, who can you tell them about?"

Chen Linjun shouted at the sky, and after saying that, he poured a few large mouthfuls of liquor into his throat. Probably unable to stand the strength of this spirit, he spit it out in one gulp, and then staggered down in the corner.

"Why? Didn't you say that you would wait for me? Why do you want to regret it!" Chen Linjun didn't know where to roar, as if as long as he shouted out the sadness in his heart, it would disappear.

Suddenly, the cold, hard wall warmed up and became much softer. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a stunning face.

"The old man entered my dream, and I remembered my appearance. Chen Linjun fell asleep under this warmth, he saw Gao Xia in his dream, so he smiled, laughed happily, laughed unscrupulously.

Chen Linjun didn't know that he had slept for too long, but he woke up with a splitting headache, and got up in a daze, and he had returned home and was lying on the bed.

He heard the faint sound of breathing, and turned his head to find the beautiful woman lying on the side of his bed, falling asleep.

At that moment, Chen Linjun's eyes turned red, as if he had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, but he couldn't say the words in his mouth, so he could only look at her silently, stretching out his hand to gently stroke her somewhat messy hair.

When he saw the scars on her forehead, hands, and neck, Chen Linjun felt that his heart was pinched and stabbed fiercely.

As if feeling a touch, Gao Xia also woke up.

The four eyes met, and there was no need for any words at this time, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"You know what? I had a dream in which there were you and me, mountains and rivers, your dancing figure, and your endless string sound. "All the sadness vanished at this moment, only real tears and real hugs.

"Take me away, to a place where no one can find us. Gao Xia buried her head in Chen Linjun's arms and said softly.

"Did the girl ever feel wronged?"

Gao Xia shook her head after hearing this, "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. ”

The two kissed each other and closed their eyes gently, but the tears couldn't stop flowing downward.

"No regrets. ”

Gao Xia returned to Fengyue Tower before dawn, still holding a red paper umbrella in his arms. Everyone in Fengyue Tower knew who she had gone to see, but they still didn't say a word when they didn't see it.

Fengyuelou's business is getting more and more bleak, and the shopkeeper has already made up his mind to close Fengyuelou after Gao Xia married Li Gongzi and go back to his hometown to enjoy Qingfu. Fengyue Tower, which used to have infinite scenery, has been for a few days, and there is not even a single guest seated.

Gao Xia returned to the house alone, the originally messy room had been cleaned up, and a bowl of red bean porridge was placed on the table.

Gao Xia's heart seemed to be touched by something, she knew that the shopkeeper had come when she was away, and the red bean porridge was cooked by her. There are only two people in this world who drink a bowl of red bean porridge when they know that they are in a bad mood.

One is a mother, and the other is a shopkeeper.

The woman with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, she also hopes that Gao Xia can have a good time. When you meet a man who treats you sincerely, don't repeat her mistakes.

Gao Xia gently stroked the red paper umbrella and stroked the line of words engraved by Chen Linjun.

"The autumn rain rises slightly, and life and death are inseparable. She smiled when she read it, maybe she didn't know why she fell in love with him now, maybe she met the right person at the right time.

Chen Linjun was packing his luggage at home, and there was no way back.

Jiangnan is good, but not his good.

Her good is his good.

Chen Linjun knelt in front of his parents' spiritual throne and kowtowed heavily, "If you are not filial, you are going to leave the land south of the Yangtze River and abandon your father's ancestral business." It's just because the child has encountered the concerns of this life. I hope that my father and mother can forgive Jun'er. ”

After that, Chen Linjun picked up his parents' spiritual position, but he didn't hold it steadily, and his mother's spiritual position fell to the ground, breaking the bottom of the position and the spirit card.

To Chen Linjun's surprise, there was a letter hidden in his mother's spiritual seat, which Chen Linjun had never found out for so many years.

He stooped down and picked up the letter, opened it, and found it in his mother's handwriting.

"Jun'er, my mother knows that you have always been fortunate about your father's death, but in fact, there is something I haven't told you, and your father must not tell you before he dies. That's why my mother wrote this letter, and if you can see it, you will understand that my mother is innocent. The Chen lineage, since your great-grandfather, has always been a single lineage, but the Chen family has always had a strange disease, which has been passed down from generation to generation. The male in the family will die violently when he does not live to stand, which is evident in your grandfather and your father. At that time, my mother felt that you were still urinating and didn't tell you, I swore before your father died, so in the end, I could only prove my innocence by dying. Jun'er, my mother knows that there will be such a day, so I have already prepared, I hope you don't feel too sad, it's your father and mother who are sorry for you, and I hope you can forgive your father and mother under Jiuquan. ”

Chen Linjun, who read the letter, was stunned, and his brain was blank at this time. Is this the cause of his father's death? Is it a family disease? Will he die suddenly when he can't live to stand up? Chen Linjun collapsed on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief. His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't say a word.

The doubts in his heart for so many years were finally solved, and he finally believed that his mother was innocent. This proud woman chose to die to prove her innocence and fulfill her promise to her father.

A figure appeared in his mind, a beautiful figure dancing with a red paper umbrella, a woman who fascinated everyone with a smile and a smile, a woman who could worry about him for a lifetime.

He burst into tears, and began to laugh maniacally as he wept. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Just sit on the ground and look up to the sky and roar.

Gao Xia still didn't wait for Chen Linjun, from sunrise to sunset. She went to look for him in his house, but found his home in shambles, except for him.

She knew that he was still the negative man in the shopkeeper's mouth after all, but she didn't understand, why was he still lying to her in the end?

The night before she got married, she changed into a bright red wedding dress, held the red paper umbrella, and walked on the stage where she had spent thousands of days and nights.

Although the audience was empty and silent, she danced and sang a song that amazed the world.

The graceful posture is fascinating, the song sings is a broken heart, at this time her face can't tell whether to cry or laugh, the red paper umbrella with this bleak scene, even more desolate............

"I heard that there was a scene in the city yesterday"

"The drama sings a good overlord farewell concubine"

"Then how did she die?"

"It's just that I believe in a fake overlord and make a real Yu Ji"

Gao Xia's tomb is full of red paper umbrellas next to the tomb every autumn rain, year after year.

About ten years later, there was an extra tomb next to her tomb, and in the autumn rain that followed, there was no more bright red paper umbrellas full of them............
