Chapter 102: The fairy falls into the lake
Everyone may still have smiles on their faces, but behind these smiles, everyone's mood is a little heavy.
No one dares to imagine that if something happens to Mrs. Zhao, it will cause a lot of shock to the world, as for whether the Zhao family will plummet because of this, it is not considered at the first time, maybe the Zhao family will be in chaos because of this, but compared to the turmoil of the whole country, what is it?
Among the guests present, none of them really wanted the old lady to have an accident, as for the Zhao family, would anyone have such an idea, and they would not think about it, because Zhao Hongxing in a sense, with his personal prestige and reputation, has supported the Zhao family for a hundred years, and if something happens to him, the light of the Zhao family will definitely be countless times weaker.
It's strange that Old Lady Zhao just coughed, but he left unexpectedly on this special occasion, but everyone began to worry about his safety.
This is a very unreasonable thing, but it is so reasonable at this time, so that everyone's ideas are so unified and coincident.
And the more things that seem unreasonable, they often become facts.
This is what Zhao Bing is worried about now.
Yes, he feels that his grandfather's body is really worse day by day, he knows his grandfather better than anyone else, in this life, Zhao Hongxing is a well-known tough guy, he was once a well-known stubborn general on the battlefield, and he is also a well-known hard bone, how could he take the initiative to go back to the house to rest on such an important occasion.
This is a disguised admission that he is not in good health, if it is a general wind and cold, why not?
The so-called concern is chaos, Zhao Bing is still in the mood to eat and drink now, but the guests must be accompanied, he still greets people with a smile, and goes to each table in turn to toast, of course, all the guests respect him very much, and they also respond enthusiastically to him.
Zhao Bangguo was like a spring breeze, and he couldn't see his inner thoughts at all, but in fact, he was also very worried about the old lady's condition, and his eyes had swept over the old lady's door countless times.
After the old lady entered the door, there was no movement, the holy hand of the medical path did not come out, and Zhao Xishui only came out for a few minutes to socialize and then went in again, let alone came out again.
A dinner party seems to be happy for the guests and hosts, but in fact it ends hastily, everyone is smart and leaves together.
Lu Tingshan came to Yanjing, it can be said that he gained a lot, not only participated in Mrs. Zhao's birthday banquet, but also got acquainted with a large number of domestic business elites, so when he left with Lu Jia, he was satisfied.
It's Lu Jia's lack of interest today, she has never known how to hide her heart, and she won't be vain, and everyone is unhappy when they see her, and they try not to provoke her.
She was a guest brought in by Zhao Bing, and no one wanted to touch Zhao Bing's scales.
The guests are gone, and the people of the Zhao family are almost gone, and the rest of the people are all close relatives of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Sihai and Zhao Wanxiong, and even the old people in the middle courtyard have all returned to their rooms.
The family came to Mrs. Zhao's room together, the latter was lying on the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, his face became a little pale, and he was even more sickly, and the old man sitting on the edge of the bed was talking to Zhao Xishui, his expression was extremely solemn, and when he saw everyone coming in, the old man closed his mouth, stood up, and said to Zhao Xishui: "I'll go back and dispense some medicine for him, and stabilize his condition first." ”
Seeing that the old man was leaving, Zhao Bing was the first to rush over to stop him, frowning and asking, "Master Chen, how is my grandfather's health?" ”
The old man's expression relaxed, glanced at Zhao Xishui, and then smiled: "It's just an ordinary wind chill, it will be fine in a few days, don't worry." ”
When he said this, the old man glanced at Zhao Bing.
Zhao Bing stopped talking, didn't ask again, went to sit down on the edge of the bed, and was about to help his grandfather take his pulse, the old lady had already opened his eyes, withdrew his hand, and said to Zhao Bing Zhengse: "I'm fine, you can help me pour me a cup of hot boiling water." ”
"Go ahead!" Zhao Xishui said on the side.
Zhao Bing was stunned, so he had to stand up and pour a glass of water, and when he came over again, Zhao Sihai's brothers, Zhao Bangguo's mother and son were all gathered in front of the hospital bed.
The old lady drank a cup of boiling water, her complexion seemed to be much better, she struggled to sit up by herself, and sighed: "This hot tea is a stomach, the whole person is much warmer, it is strange to say, on this hot day, there will be a wind chill, it may be that the strange snow fell too suddenly a few days ago, it's okay, you all go back to rest, I'll be quiet alone, go to bed early, cover some sweat, and there will be nothing to do tomorrow morning." ”
"Dad, then you have to have a good rest, we won't disturb your old man's rest." Wu Qiong had already wanted to leave, and at this time, he was close and cared.
Zhao Bangguo looked sad and said, "Grandpa, I'll stay and take care of you!" ”
"No need." Old lady Zhao showed a trace of comfort on her face, and said: "It's good that you have this heart, all of you are from the Zhao family, our Zhao family, remember to be united, and everything will be prosperous in family harmony!" ”
"Bangguo, let grandpa rest well." Zhao Wanxiong said.
Then, Zhao Wanxiong left with his family.
Zhao Sihai took Qin Lin and left, and the only people left in the house were Zhao Bing and Zhao Xishui.
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Zhao Bing stepped forward again and said to the old lady, "Grandpa, let me check your pulse." ”
"No need." The old lady looked kind and said, "Although your medical skills are excellent, you don't necessarily have to be stronger than your master, right?" It's rare for you to go back to Yanjing, so let's talk with your aunt and go out for a walk together, over the years, your aunt has been heartbroken for you. ”
Zhao Bing's face turned red, and he lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
He is a little weak-hearted, the relationship between him and Zhao Xishui has long exceeded that of a normal aunt and nephew, but this is destined to be a fruitless love, which is not allowed to be allowed by the world, but fortunately, they know each other, so they have never broken it, but this kind of thing was seen through by his grandfather, and he was a little embarrassed and at a loss.
"Let's go, go out for a walk with me." Zhao Xishui's face was also slightly red, and he turned around and walked out first.
Old lady Zhao closed her eyes and lay on the bed to rest.
Zhao Bing had no choice but to go out of the room, and when he saw Zhao Xishui waiting in place, he couldn't help asking, "Do you really want to go out for a walk?" ”
"Yes."
After speaking, Zhao Xishui walked towards the outer courtyard, and Zhao Bing had no choice but to follow.
The two walked out of the old house, and walked towards the alley in the east, from here, there is a park, because few people come in, it seems very quiet, at this time the moon rises, the silver light sprinkles, falls on the trees and bamboos in the park, as if the branches are covered with silver makeup, the moonlight falls on the water again, the blue waves are slightly swaying, the scenery is beautiful, the full moon in the water, the lake is like a mirror, but because of the ripples, it seems slightly blurred.
There is a stone bridge in the park, there is a pavilion on both sides of the bridge, Zhao Xishui walked to the pavilion, the chair was on the railing, looking at the lake, silent, and the atmosphere was particularly dignified.
Zhao Bing opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa's illness is very serious." ”
"He has advanced stomach cancer, and even Master Chen has no surgery, you have to be mentally prepared, it is rare to be able to hold on for so long tonight."
Zhao Xishui's sigh was very light and light, but it was like a heavy drum beating on Zhao Bing's heart, making his body tremble, and he asked tremblingly for a long time: "Late stage?" Why is this happening? ”
"He fell into a stomach problem when he was young, and in the past few years, you have not been there, and his body has not been good, maybe he feels that he has lived too long, or maybe he misses you or your grandmother, so he doesn't want to live anymore, so he has been refusing to use medicine, and finally it has become the current situation, maybe, if you didn't have an accident, there would be no today's results, by the way, Master Chen said, he can only live for half a year at most." Zhao Xishui's voice was very sad, but he didn't cry.
Zhao Bing was silent, and only said in a half-loud voice: "What can I do." ”
"You can't do anything, the only thing you can do is to live well, happily, happily, this is my aunt's hope, but also his old man's wish."
Zhao Bing nodded: "I will." ”
The two were speechless for a while, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, and after a while, Zhao Xishui turned his head and asked Zhao Bing: "You are really not ready to take over the family industry?" ”
Zhao Bing shook his head decisively and sighed: "I have already said that I will create another Zhao family, isn't it more meaningful?" ”
"In your life, you have always been too soft-hearted, good to the enemy, and to your own family, you still don't want to tear your face, but even if you don't care about the things back then, do you think that once the old man is gone, the Zhao family will still be the current Zhao family, will they let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Zhao Xishui sighed.
Zhao Bing thought for a while before saying: "I am not the only one in the Zhao family, there are also aunts and my father, I think, with you here, the Zhao family will not die." ”
"Break and stand?" Zhao Xishui asked.
Zhao Bing was silent.
"There is some truth, our Zhao family, the family has been dominant for so many years, I think it has made many people red, and it has offended many people openly and secretly, the old lady is really gone, those people will definitely be in trouble, one family will become two, the above will rest assured, it is estimated that not only the business world will be shaken, but even the political world will follow the earthquake! Such an opportunity is the time for rebirth! Zhao Xishui said in a deep voice.
Zhao Bing said: "Maybe I'm not strong enough, but I'm willing to be my aunt's backing for life." ”
Zhao Xishui suddenly laughed: "You want to protect your aunt?" ”
Zhao Bing nodded: "Yes, and for a lifetime, until you marry a wife." ”
"Do you want your aunt to marry?" Zhao Xishui sighed, and his tone was a little sad.
Zhao Bing's face was a little hot, and he didn't dare to answer.
"Don't worry, in this life, I'm not going to marry again." Zhao Xishui turned his head, looked at the lake, and said, "In this way, you can protect me for the rest of your life." ”
I don't know why, Zhao Bing's heart actually became a little peaceful and warm, but the next moment, he felt guilty and uneasy, just asked him to say some words of comfort, but he couldn't say it anyway.
He couldn't marry his aunt, but he didn't want her to marry.
He's so selfish!
But this is at least his true thoughts, he can deceive anyone, but he can't deceive his aunt, let alone himself.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Zhao Xishui asked.
Zhao Bing knew, but didn't know how to answer.
So, Zhao Xishui continued to talk to himself.
"Because here, there have been many stories, and among those beautiful memories, there are you, there are me, and many memories, only you, only me."
Zhao Xishui was dressed in white, standing at the railing, the wind was blowing, the white skirt was dancing with the wind, and the moonlight fell on her body, just like a fairy who really fell from the Moon Palace to the mortal world, extremely beautiful, especially transcendent.
Zhao Bing's eyes were a little misty, and he looked a little demented.
"What I remember most is that when you were six years old, I brought you here, and then you were going to play a game of playing family games, you wanted me to be your bride, and let me not marry for the rest of my life, saying that you want to marry me......"
"One winter, there was a thick ice here, I said I want to eat fish, you ran to get fish alone, but the ice was broken by you a big hole, you really caught the fish, but fell into the glacier, I really didn't know where the courage came from, I actually jumped in and pulled you up, what is even more miraculous is that we didn't even die, just had a serious illness together and ......"
Zhao Xishui said a lot and recalled many memories, then he turned his head and said to Zhao Bing: "If I fall into the lake, will you also save me?" ”
Zhao Bing nodded solemnly and said seriously: "I will." ”
Zhao Xishui smiled, and then she climbed onto the railing, her hands raised high, as if to meet the bright moon in the sky, and then, the long skirt flew, and she also flew, poof, and jumped into the lake.
