The Yue clan excused himself to leave the space to the two of them. wwļ¼·.lļ¼·ļ¼øs520.COļ¼
Liu Tong's face was still red, and Chang Runzhi reminded him: "The tea is cooler, and it can be eaten." If it's cold, add some hot water. ā
Liu Tong hurriedly took the teacup and drank it, licked his lips, looked at Chang Runzhi and said softly: "In front of your aunt, I'm embarrassed to say." ā
"Hmm." Chang Runzhi smiled and nodded.
"I didn't want to send them away for the sake of Mo's." Liu Tong was silent for a while, and then said: "No matter who married me at that time, I will arrange the women in the house properly for this future wife, so that my wife will not be angry and sad for them." ā
Chang Runzhi listened carefully.
"My mother is a noble person, and before she entered the palace, she actually had a childhood sweetheart who grew up together. The two said that they would stay together for the rest of their lives, but that Lang Jun had an accident and passed away. My mother later entered the palace. ā
Liu Tong lowered his head slightly, and his voice gradually deepened: "The mother concubine is beautiful and exotic, and she was quite favored by her father for a while. However, in a place like the harem, you are favored today, and you may be beaten into the cold palace tomorrow, and you will be ruthless. My father's favor came and went quickly, but my mother didn't care too much. She said that there is infinite light in her heart, and even if life is like hell, the light can eliminate all the pain and sorrow. Her Avesta is always there to protect her. ā
Chang Runzhi was puzzled: "Avista? ā
"It's a god of faith in the Western Regions." Liu Tong explained: "They believe in Zoroastrianism and worship the God of Light as the creator of the world. Avesta is their faith. Just like the Xianbei people, everyone believes in immortality. ā
Chang Runzhi nodded understandingly, and listened to Liu Tong continue: "The death of the mother concubine is quite mysterious, so that others are a little taboo when they mention the mother concubine and me. ā
Chang Runzhi was puzzled: "Yu Guiren...... Didn't he die of illness? ā
"That's what I said to the outside world." Liu Tong said softly: "But those who know these secrets know that my mother died by dancing." ā
Chang Runzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
"Even though I was young, I already remembered. Because of my appearance, many people in the palace are taboo about me. At that time, the concubine hugged me and said, "I am a citizen of Avesta and Avesta will protect me." Whenever I was unhappy, my mother would dance to me and make me happy. ā
"The dance of the mother concubine is very good, unrestrained and energetic, and it can be very contagious. I asked my mother why my father didn't like to watch such a beautiful dance, and my mother said that she could only dance, and other mothers would be next to things, and my father had no shortage of novelties to attract him. ā
"My mother danced almost every day, and I could tell that she loved to dance. But this kind of dance is the only one I can enjoy. Occasionally, the concubine will bring the fifth brother to watch the show, and whenever that time, the mother concubine is very happy. ā
"Then suddenly one day my mother danced in front of me, and while she was doing a whirling motion, she stopped abruptly, fell, and then trembled, and muttered, 'Avista, my light,' and kept repeating this sentence. The palace people hurriedly helped her, and the concubine sat up cross-legged, then closed her eyes, and soon lost her breath. ā
When Liu Tong said this, his face also showed sadness and nostalgia: "Except for the little skin on the concubine's body that was scratched when she fell, there was no scar on her body, and the expression on her face was also very peaceful. The imperial doctor even checked the poison, but found no signs of poisoning for the concubine...... Therefore, the death of the mother concubine has become an unsolved case. Since then, the people in the palace have looked at me more strangely, and even my father and emperor have avoided me intentionally or unintentionally. ā
Chang Runzhi looked at him distressedly, reached out and gently held his hand, giving him comfort.
Liu Tong smiled, clasped her palm, and wrapped her slightly cool hand in his hand.
Liu Tong said: "Everyone said that my mother died strangely, and I used to think so until ...... I later found a box of letters written by the concubine in Shache script, and there was only one recipient, and his name was Mingguang. ā
Chang Runzhi hesitated and asked softly, "Mingguang...... Is it the name of her childhood sweetheart? ā
Liu Tong nodded slightly.
"From the letters of the concubine, I can see that in the years after Mingguang's death, the concubine seemed to have forgotten him on the surface and lived a comfortable and chic life, but she was always sad and sad in her heart. In places where I can't see, the mother drinks every night, and by getting drunk, she hopes to see the light. In the days when her father favored her, she was both happy and painful, and felt that it was a betrayal of Mingguang. After she fell out of favor, she was relieved, but she missed Mingguang even more. Drinking all day long, the mother has hallucinated. I think the reason why the mother died dancing was because she was drunk and hallucinated, and then she was immersed in it and didn't want to wake up again. ā
Liu Tong sighed lightly: "The mother concubine is probably also aware of her physical condition, and in the last few letters she wrote to Mingguang, she said that I hope Avista will bless her to be a worldly and ordinary couple with Mingguang in the next life, and may Avista bless me, and have a lover who is close to my heart, and can share my life with me." ā
Liu Tong looked at Chang Runzhi with gentle eyes: "This is the wish of the mother concubine, I hope I can do it, let Avista see it, ask her to relay it to the concubine, tell her that I am very good, and I hope that Avista will bless her in the next life to get what she wants." ā
After listening to the story of Yu Guiren, Chang Runzhi's original knot with Liu Tong was also untied.
She stood up and walked to Liu Tong and sat down, leaned softly to his side, and said in a low but firm voice, "Avesta is bless you." ā
Liu Tong's body trembled slightly, and when he looked at Chang Runzhi's eyes, there was water rippling in the dark blue, like an intoxicating lake.
He understood what she meant.
She is suing him, and she is willing to share the ups and downs with him for the rest of her life.
Liu Tong couldn't help but stretch out his hand and slowly took her into his arms.
This is their first hug, but it does not seem abrupt, but in the eyes of others, it is natural and beautiful.
Yao Huang quietly retreated, and Wei Zi excitedly pulled her hand and pointed to the room, blinking eagerly.
Yao Huang glared at her helplessly, and whispered with his index finger on his lips: "Don't make noise." ā
Wei Zi nodded repeatedly, his face flushed.
Liu Tong lived in Zhuangzi for two days, and after getting up every day, he would come to Chang Runzhi's side, no matter where Chang Runzhi went or what he did, he would accompany him.
So everyone in the village also knew that the future husband of the girl from the largest landlord's family in the village had arrived.
The big girls and little daughters-in-law all rushed to see the excitement, wanting to see what the man worthy of Chang Runzhi looked like.
When they saw Liu Tong, they naturally called him a talent and dignified on the surface, but in private, they muttered that man was afraid of foreign blood.
It can be seen that when Chang Runzhi and Liu Tong were talking, their eyes were full of smiles, and these mutters were swallowed by them. (To be continued.) )>
