One forty-one. father and son
The fine snow squirts, the broad-leaved sycamores, the straight and sluggish upright wind, let the sassy chill mockingly sweep over its fragile dead branches. Under the tree, Qin Nanfu was still kneeling calmly, his thin shoulders were covered with snow droplets, and on his eyebrows and eyelashes, there were still a few scattered ice stars falling heavily, kneeling all night, even his lips that had always been pale had been dyed through the snow at this time, and he was even more cold and pale.
A crimson figure, hovering under the wooden corridor in the distance behind him, trivial and anxious steps, like a bird crying in the early morning, useless and annoying.
The crimson figure of "sister" saw Qin Nanxi at the end of the stone path and hurriedly greeted her. Mama Wu behind her was full of thoughts about her, and she didn't care about the slippery road under her feet, so she staggered and followed closely.
"Sister-in-law" Qin Nanxi retracted the gaze that fell on her brother's shoulder, and bowed in a proper manner.
"Sister, I beg you to persuade your brother to get up, if you go on like this, you have to kneel and get sick." Xiao Luomei's thin ten fingers were as wet and cold as if they had been quenched in ice, and they were tightly pinched on Qin Nanxi's wrist, which made her want to break free.
Xiao Luomei was stunned, let go of her fingers, and took half a step back. Looking back at Shi Qing's figure in the distance, the embroidered handkerchief in his hand couldn't help but stir up helplessly. On the corner of Napa, a thin and lonely wind bamboo stands quietly, and the green silk threads, in the dim skylight, shine brightly, conjuring into a strange and warm warmth in this cold world.
Even if there is a knot in the heart, even if there is a gap, blood relatives are difficult. Qin Nanxi lowered her gaze, avoided the burning eyes, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, doesn't you know my brother?" You can't even persuade your sister-in-law, how can Nanxi persuade him? ”
Xiao Luomei sighed slightly, Qin Nanfu has always cherished and loved her, this time, despite her persuasion, and even accompanied him to keep watch in the snow all night, he was unmoved.
Qin Nanxi is right, if he can't even persuade him, he will naturally not take his sister's words to heart. Xiao Luomei hurriedly ran to Qin Nanxi to beg her, but she was actually a little sick and rushed to the doctor.
The corners of her lips suddenly flashed with a wry smile, and Xiao Luomei realized that she had already cared so much about the figure of Shi Qing kneeling in the distance. It's still yesterday. Newly married, she was also pleased that the extremely elegant charm on his body was like the figure in his heart. But in a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and the figure in her heart has been exhausted by time, but he around her is like alcohol, soaking her in rich tenderness day and night, which makes her drunk......
Gently moving her steps, the crimson snow fox cloak slowly turned in response to her figure, hanging from the heavy corners of the ground, drawing a firm and stubborn shallow arc on the thin snow. Xiao Luomei turned around, looked at Qin Nanfu in the distance gently, and said in a low voice: "Nanxi, you go and beg Daddy!" If Daddy doesn't forgive him, I'm afraid he will kneel and die here! With that, she floated back to the plane tree, Ying Ying knelt in front of Qin Nanfu, held his hand that was frozen to bruise, and held it to her lips......
Qin Nanxi blinked her dry eyes, hurriedly turned around, and walked towards her father's room.
"Hey, hey~" Xiaofei dragged her and puzzled, "Don't you talk to your brother very much?" Lord Qin was so angry yesterday, at this moment, you still want to provoke him? ”
Qin Nanxi was stunned and smiled: "How can I not talk to my brother?" I'm a younger sister, he's an older brother, and I'm orderly, how can I disrespect my eldest brother? ”
Xiao Fei shook his head and said, "That's also called talking?" You two brothers and sisters are coldly official-like when they are in one place. I look at that, you treat him, it is better to see the second child in the mountain tower to be affectionate to me! ”
Since she refused to disclose information about Situ Yi to her brother, her brother has treated her even more coldly, but he does not embarrass her, and even protects her safety at all times. Between brothers and sisters, after all, there is a knot because of Situ Yi. But after all, they are still the same mother. Although Qin Nanxi didn't agree with his brother's stubbornness and persistence, he couldn't bear to kneel out of his illness.
Glancing lightly at his brother in the distance, he gathered the cloak on his body, and Qin Nanxi quickened his pace and walked towards his father's room.
Qin Zi'an in the room was standing in the window, and in the half-open rhombic window, he could see a pair of figures in green and red holding hands facing each other from a distance, kneeling under the tree.
Qin Nanxi casually picked up the cloak on the shelf, put it on Qin Zi'an's shoulder, and deliberately mischievously said: "The ground under the tree, it is very cold and stiff at this time!" The moment a person kneels on it, his knees are like ice! Brother made his father angry, so let him kneel well and freeze off his two legs! Hengzhi's father is angry with him, and he doesn't feel sorry for his biological son at all! ”
"You kid!" Qin Zi'an turned his head, smiled helplessly, and his eyes were still nostalgic outside the window, "Didn't you go to Ciyun Temple?" Why did you come back so soon? ”
Qin Nanxi followed his gaze and glanced at him again, smiled to cover up the embarrassing situation in Ciyun Temple, and replied: "Today's windy and snowy weather, there are few people on the road, and even fewer people in Ciyun Temple, so my daughter will go back quickly." ”
Fu Qin Zi'an sat back on the couch, folded the brocade quilt for him, took the hot tea poured by Xiao Fei and handed it to his father's lips. Qin Nanxi just wanted to open his mouth to persuade his father, but he heard Qin Zi'an say: "It's all because of my father's temporary soft-heartedness and hurt your brother!" ”
Qin Nanxi was surprised, and then asked, "Where did Daddy start with this?" ”
Qin Zi'an sighed, his cloudy gaze fell on the bright red figure under the tree, and said quietly: "Daddy shouldn't have promised your brother to marry a girl from the Xiao family!" Luomei, this kid...... Hey, she is a child of the Xiao family! Your brother is now with the Xiao family everywhere, this ......"
Qin Nanxi turned his gaze back and said unexpectedly: "But my brother married his sister-in-law, wasn't Xiao Guifei a matchmaker back then?" Isn't it a holy decree for the concubine to be a matchmaker? ”
Qin Zi'an slowly leaned towards the brocade cushion behind him, hid his sick and thin body in the soft brocade pile, closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said: "It's not a holy decree, the emperor knew that his father was unwilling to marry the Xiao family." The Father also inquired privately about the Divine Will. If I don't want to, I can naturally find an excuse to push this family at will. After all, Luomei is just a lowly concubine, and your brother is my only son, so Concubine Xiao can't say anything. ”
"Then, why did Daddy agree again?"
"Your brother ...... him" Qin Zi'an slowly opened his eyes, looked out the window tiredly, and said helplessly: "Your brother heard what the concubine meant, and came to kneel and begged me to agree to this marriage. ”
"Why?" Qin Nan was puzzled and couldn't help but look out the window. Under the plane tree, the brother and sister-in-law still held hands opposite each other, although there were no words between them, but the two pairs of intertwined eyes were as flexible as Pusi and firm as a rock.
was full of emotion, but heard his father sigh again: "I don't know when, your brother saw Luomei in the Prince of Changping, that is, the palace of Changping County at that time." From then on, he thought about her with all his heart. He knew that Luomei was the daughter of the Xiao family, and even, even he knew that Luomei had been familiar with King Changping since she was a child, but he still refused to give up and wanted to marry her. After knowing that Xiao Guifei was referring to Luomei, he came to beg me to agree to the marriage. What kind of family is the Xiao family, how can they marry them? But your brother is ...... My father had no choice but to agree. ”
Qin Nanxi looked at her brother in shock, she didn't know about this past, her brother had never been silent, and his thoughts were deep, she never knew that he was so attentive to his sister-in-law.
Now it seems that it was the Father's mistake! If you had been ruthless and didn't allow your family to do business, maybe today, your brother wouldn't have set foot on this road? In Qin Zi'an's trembling and old voice, there was no anger, only deep guilt and pain.
Qin Nanxi turned around, held his father's thin hand like a withered branch, stared at him, and clarified softly: "Daddy, you misunderstood my brother!" ”
Qin Zi'an closed his eyes and shook his head weakly, thinking that Qin Nanxi just wanted to persuade him to forgive Qin Nanfu for "recognizing the thief as his father".
"Daddy" Qin Nanxi shook Qin Zi'an's arm and said with a smile: "My daughter suddenly wants to hear her father's story!" ”
Qin Zi'an's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Qin Nanxi suspiciously.
I saw her smile and said: "My daughter remembers that when she was a child, her father often taught her brother and Nanxi the truth from the stories of ancient sages. Therefore, Nan Xi likes to listen to his father's stories the most, especially ah, he likes the story of Taishi Gong's book and Chen Yingyizi! ”
Qin Zi'an listened, her cloudy eyes stared at Qin Nanxi, but she saw that her eyes were clear and had a long meaning. The sick, thin and weak body suddenly stood up, and it was only after a while that he repeated: "Taishi Gong endures humiliation and writes, and Chen Ying Yizi protects his orphans?" ”
Qin Nanxi smiled: "That's it." Taishi Sima Qian and doctor Chen Ying, but two scholars with a pen, both have the responsibility of shouldering the world! My brother and Nan Xi both admire it very much! ”
Qin Zi'an was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look out the window, and in his eyes, two points of turbid light flickered.
Xiao Fei, who was standing on the side, looked left and right at a father and daughter who were full of thoughts, and said, "What kind of story is it?" The adults also told Xiaofei to listen, and Xiaofei is fine
Learn some about how to be a human being! ”
Qin Zi'an turned his head and looked at Xiao Fei kindly, the relief in his eyes was like a smile on the corner of his lips, and he flowed faintly, "Okay, then I'll tell you a story." It's just that there is another story that is more thrilling than this book written by Taishi Gong and Chen Yingyizi. ”
Xiao Fei stepped forward with a smile and said, "What is it?" ”
Qin Zi'an said with a smile: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wu wanted to destroy Chu, and his heart was firm, and he said: 'Those who dare to admonish will die!'" ’。 At this time, there was a young year, and he knew that if he was soft-spoken, his advice would be useless, and he would be killed in vain. However, the town is pregnant with a slingshot, swims in the back garden, and dews its clothes, such as three. King Wu asked strangely. The young man said: 'There are trees in the back garden, and there are cicadas drinking dew, and I don't know that the praying mantis wants to catch them behind!' And the praying mantis was about to pounce, but he didn't know that the yellow finch was tiptoeing beside it! The yellow finch stretched out its neck and only cared about pecking the mantis, but did not know the slingshot under the tree! They all want to get the benefits of the past and ignore the troubles! When the king of Wu heard this, he felt very justified, and he did not send troops. ”
Xiao Fei didn't understand what he heard, and only looked at the father and daughter who looked at each other and smiled in front of him. The father and daughter both understood each other's words, but they also had a wrong meaning with each other.
Qin Nanxi only thought that his father understood that Prince Changping was actually the "yellow bird" after the new emperor, and his brother was actually enduring humiliation to preserve the strength of the Qin family and King Changping. And Qin Zi'an's words, but it is a yellow finch, a hunter, a lot, because he knows that under the sky of Da Chu, there has always been a hunter who is ready to move, waiting at all times.
