In the Fang family's study, in front of the window, there was a figure sitting alone, without turning on the light, leaving the surrounding area in the dark.

At dinner, I didn't see Mrs. Fang, and everyone felt that there was something strange.

Zhang Xiaoqiang went to the study to take a look, knocked on the door gently, but no one answered, pushed the door open, and she saw her grandmother's back.

She knew that Grandma must have something on her mind today.

Old Madam Fang said, "You eat yours, don't worry about me." Go out, and I'll call you if there's something to do. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang closed the door and came out.

She wondered what was wrong with her grandmother.

Old Madam Fang really has something on her mind.

The chance encounter a few days ago, with that ninth master, was indeed an unusual encounter.

The two of them were old acquaintances, and this matter has been buried in grandma's heart for many years.

For so many years, Mrs. Fang had never mentioned this person, because she had always thought that this person was dead, at least in her heart.

She has been running an antique shop, managing it herself, and has not bothered anyone.

This shop, which has been opened until now, has a certain origin in it.

Mrs. Fang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, and her thoughts suddenly drifted far away, a small ink city in her memory.

This place, surrounded by water, is smoky all day long.

The street also has a nice name, called Hibiscus Street.

This place is Mrs. Fang's hometown.

Most of the women born here are graceful ladies.

What's more, she was born in a famous family.

Since childhood, although she was a woman, in that era of patriarchy and small feet, this little woman named Qian Shuqi entered the school and received a private school-style enlightenment education with her brothers and sisters at home.

Then there is a Western-style girls' school, plus a foreign ......

This kind of intellectual experience has created a knowledgeable Mrs. Fang.

Of course, the eldest lady of the Qian family is naturally not bad, and the people who come to propose marriage have broken the threshold.

But she just couldn't look down on it, and she didn't pay attention to these ordinary people at all.

At that time, the Qian family ran the largest business and had business contacts all over the country.

Qian Shuqi, she followed her father to the most prosperous metropolis in China at that time.

Smart and smart, she became her father's biggest helper.

Because of an antique business, she met the historian Zhang Zhihe, who later became the ninth master.

Two young people fall in love.

Zhang Zhihe's hometown is from Hacheng, and his family background is medium, so he is not very rich.

In such an era, when the family was particularly important, this pair of lovers was naturally opposed by the family.

The old man of the Qian family used all the methods to break up the two people.

An old-fashioned story, an old-fashioned method, is elopement.

By mistake, Zhang Zhihe did not come as promised.

In the storm, Miss Qian was depressed, fell ill by the rain, and then lay in bed for more than a month.

After recovering from his illness, he married into the Fang family.

Of course, the marriage of the two families caused quite a stir in the local area.

It is also praised as a beautiful talk!

On the day of the wedding, all the local gentry who could arrive arrived.

Zhang Zhihe also watched the ceremony together in the crowd and watched the couple get married.

yes, it's fake that he doesn't have heartache.

This heartache is best known only to him.

When the two decided to elope, the news was known to the old man of the Qian family, and he sent someone to kidnap Zhang Zhihe on the road.

Then, he was sent to a mountain family, and someone was hired to take care of him, so that he could recover his health.

When the eldest lady of the Qian family was about to get married, he regained his health.

The whole city was talking about this marriage, and it dawned on him.

In his heart, he didn't hold a grudge against this woman he loved deeply, he knew that she must be involuntarily.

Watching his beloved woman get married, as the man who married her slowly entered the cave house, he endured the sharp pain in his heart and the tears in his eyes, and walked out of this luxurious mansion.

He always believed that she would not be happy.

After he left, he has been working hard, trying to make a piece of the world, coming back and taking her away, to a place where no one knows, and to live a life of only two people.

The moment Qian Shuqi was unveiled, what a handsome face appeared in front of her.

Fang Puqing, the eldest young master of the Fang family, actually had such a charming face.

The eldest young master of the Fang family was also stunned, this eldest lady of the Qian family was also as beautiful as a flower.

However, Qian Shuqi's eyes then dimmed again.

Yes, she has someone in her heart, and she can't just be tempted by other men.

The eldest young master of the Fang family thought that the bride was shy, and that night, the two slept in clothes.

In the following days, Qian Shuqi saw that the eldest young master of the Fang family was knowledgeable and reasonable, and he was like a fish in water in business.

After a long period of love, the two of them finally fell in love with each other.

War, Fleeing...... With the advent of these natural disasters*, Qian Shuqi tried her best to assist her husband in business.

Towards charity, the two of them tried their best to relieve the victims, generously donated money, and supported patriots.

Good people will be rewarded after all.

They had daughters of their own, sons.

In the end, the two settled in Yanjing.

The eldest young master of the Fang family, later Mr. Fang, finally died of illness.

Mrs. Fang supported everyone alone.

After her son Fang Zhonglei resolutely became a soldier and decided not to participate in the business, she resolutely let her three daughters, who had followed her in business since childhood, manage the Fang family's big stall.

I became the operator behind the scenes, just running the antique shop.

The three daughters didn't know what the antique shop's business was like.

She usually doesn't want to talk about it, and everyone doesn't ask.

Only Lao Liang had been in and out of that place with her, and had talked with her about some business, as well as those businessmen who dealt with antiques.

That day, when she saw the "negative man" again, her calm heart made a big wave.

After so many years, the girl's heart has long since ceased to exist.

I didn't expect to meet him in this city.

Old, each other to such an age.

How much more hatred can you not let go?

However, a woman's heart is like this, and she will always regard resentment as a way of remembrance.

Hate why didn't he go to the appointment and take her away?

What kind of life can he give her in that era?

Can she be pampered like the young grandmother of the Fang family?

I don't know!

Thinking about it, she felt a little relieved in her heart.

God is fair and just to everyone and everything.

did not give her a vigorous love, but gave her glory and wealth and a husband who loved herself.

When I turned around, I saw that the room was already pitch black.

She turned on the light and walked out of the study.

Zhang Xiaoqiang sat on the sofa alone, waiting for her grandmother to come out and see what was wrong with her.

She's worried about her grandmother.

Zhang Xiaoqiang brought a bowl of white porridge from the kitchen, took a plate of vegetarian dishes, and she asked her grandmother to eat a little.

Old Lady Fang smiled and said, "Okay, it's still Xiaoqiang's caring." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to ask her grandmother what was going on just now, what happened?

Old Mrs. Fang was drinking this porridge and eating delicious side dishes, she asked Zhang Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, why don't you ask me what's the matter?" ”

"Grandma, if you want to say it, or trust me, just say it, it will feel better to say it." Zhang Xiaoqiang guessed that her grandmother would come to her.

"Xiaoqiang, how did you and that Zhang Zhihe meet?" Old Lady Fang wiped her mouth, then peeled the apple and said.

Zhang Xiaoqiang told me about my acquaintance with the Ninth Master in Hacheng back then, and said it in detail.

Mrs. Fang said, "Then you can see that he is doing well?" Happiness? ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "This is not easy to judge, it is rare to see him laughing, there is a faint melancholy." ”

Old Lady Fang continued to peel the apple in her hand, and a whole apple peel faded like this.

She asked Zhang Xiaoqiang to make an appointment with the ninth master, saying that she wanted to invite him to tea.

The time is set for tomorrow, and she will be notified when the time and place come.

Zhang Xiaoqiang called the ninth master and said that his grandmother invited him to tea, and he quickly agreed.

See you at 10 o'clock tomorrow.

Old Lady Fang smiled and returned to her room.

She looked at herself in the mirror, and then looked at the photo of herself when she was young, the years are unforgiving, how many years have passed.

I opened the wardrobe, picked out a dress to wear tomorrow, ironed it myself with an iron a few times, and hung it on the hanger.

Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to the room and told Fang Aobai about her grandmother drinking tea with the ninth master tomorrow.

Fang Aobai's brows twisted together and said, "Qiang'er, it seems that you really said it, these two people are old acquaintances, they must be unfinished, and they can't untie the knot." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "This must be another poignant love story. I wish the two old people a happy meeting tomorrow, open their hearts, and live a happy old age. ”

The next day, the ninth master arrived early, and he didn't let anyone follow, he was alone.

His dress is a little weird, Chinese-style caftan but, well, the whole person looks suave.

Mrs. Fang is also a Chinese-style cheongsam, with properly cut fabrics, and the whole person is also beautiful and generous.

She just asked Lao Liang to send him to the door, and then asked him to go back first.

Neither of them was late, they both arrived early.

The first sentence was said by Mrs. Fang first: "I have always been punctual, rain or shine!" ”

It's a word in the word.

Jiu Ye smiled slightly and said, "I also arrived early back then, and I won't be late, especially the promise to you." ”

"Arrive early, you know I waited for you all night, I almost died there!" Old Madam Fang shouted out the grievances in her heart.

"Shuqi, will you listen to me?" The Ninth Master told the story of what happened that night in one breath.

Then, he lifted his robe and showed her the wound on her right leg.

It was beaten by the Qian family, and thanks to the mercy of their men, this leg was saved. Now walking with a slight limp, he took a few steps to get her to take a good look.

Old Madam Fang finally believed it.

She knew that Zhang Zhihe was so energetic before, there would be no problem with her legs at all.

Things figured it out.

She wiped tears from her eyes with a handkerchief.

At this age, half a century has passed.

figured out this mistake back then.

The ninth master choked up, and his voice began to tremble: "Shuqi, I really didn't expect to meet you here." I went to your house and looked for you, but the people there said that you had moved away, and I asked around, but I couldn't find you. You know, I've been working hard to give you a better life and fantasize about renewing my relationship with you......"

What he said was the truth, sometimes he went to some places, as long as he had acquaintances, he would inquire about the affairs of the Qian family and the Fang family, but there was no important result.

Over the years, although he has married and had children, has his own family, and has his own career, he is also well-known in this industry.

However, he is still longing for a reunion with his lover and an explanation of what happened back then.

At such an age, I just want everyone to be healthy and safe.

After saying this, the knot in my heart opened.

It's not sad anymore.

Instead, they talked about their respective sons and daughters, their respective careers.

Mrs. Fang took Zhang Zhihe to her antique shop.

This store is specially opened for him.

He devoted his life to antiques, and in order to find him, all had this shop, which sold all the real thing.

Zhang Zhihe looked at them one by one and couldn't put them down.

The two of them discussed the art of appreciating antiques and some of the current national treasures.

During the war, many of the country's national treasures were lost.

Mrs. Fang spared no expense to take back a few of them, and they were the treasures of the town store in the store.

The business in the store is all big customers, and the people who come are connoisseurs.

It just so happened that the Ninth Master had been here as the shopkeeper for a day.

Received a few customers, and these customers knew and heard of the name of the ninth master.

In the store's tea room, a few antique lovers started chatting again and talking about their opinions.

Old Madam Fang looked extremely happy.

She personally made tea and greeted everyone.

Before you know it, the guests are gone.

Old Madam Fang felt hungry.

Zhang Zhihe said apologetically: "Shuqi, I'm sorry for delaying your meal." ”

Needless to say, the two of them went to dinner together.

This ninth master, all the dishes ordered are Jiangnan dishes that Mrs. Fang likes.

The delicate, flavorful dishes, even the soup are unique.

The place to eat is in a pavilion, surrounded by beaded curtains.

Someone is playing a little tune, which is very flavorful.

Looking at Qian Shuqi, the person who had made Jiu Ye fantasize about reuniting countless times, sitting in front of him, eating these famous snacks, of course he was very happy in his heart.

He originally planned to return to Hacheng after dealing with this side of the matter, but now he is a little reluctant.

Old Madam Fang looked at him and said, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"Just watch you eat, wasn't that what it was like back then?" Zhang Zhihe remembered the shy scene in his pocket back then, he was reluctant to eat it himself, and watched her eat alone.

She pouted and said, "Let's eat together, or I won't eat either." ”

What it looked like back then, when I think about it now, feels like it was yesterday. (To be continued.) )
