75
There is a saying in this world that "the moon is cloudy and sunny".
After years of hard study, my father became an official after all, and he also abandoned his mother. As if to atone for his sins, he bought a courtyard in the east of the city, and placed the young her and her mother in it, leaving a large sum of money and a letter of resignation. Since then, Li Ximu has never seen that man again, and so has her mother.
The days went on like this, little by little, and endured. The mother cried, hurt, complained, hated, and finally calmed the resentment in her heart and stopped asking. Li Ximu knows that her mother's heart is broken, and now her mother will sleep, eat, teach her to recite poetry and paint, and will laugh happily when she sees herself happily telling her the interesting things she has seen on the street recently. It's just that the smile has not answered the bottom of the eye for many years. The once beautiful Shui Qingyi fell silent and disappeared, leaving only the puppet-like body in front of her, as if living for her, lifeless.
Looking at her mother like this, Li Ximu suddenly hated that ungrateful man.
She hated the man.
She hated him.
It's spring again.
The young branches spit green, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the pear blossoms in the city are in full bloom one by one, the snow is as white as this, and it is very good-looking. Li Ximu was dressed as a man, holding a folding fan and walking alone in Jinzhou City.
Today's Jinzhou City is destined to be lively, with the sound of gongs and drums from far and near, pedestrians on the street have given way to a road, talking to each other.
"I heard that the prefect welcomed his relatives today?"
"Yes, you said that our prefect has been marrying the fifth aunt for too long, and then he will marry again!"
"Shhhh Be quiet! Don't let anyone hear about it. People are powerful and powerful, and it doesn't matter how much they want to marry. ”
"Alas, I only see the newcomer laughing, and I don't hear the old man crying."
Li Ximu frowned slightly, stopped, and looked sideways. Looking at the prefect in the middle of the street in a red wedding dress looking at the people around him with a high spirit, the officials behind him kept throwing happy money to the people on both sides, and for a while everyone was vying for it, and it was very lively.
The scene in front of her coincided with the memorial in her memory, when the man was also like the prefect now, and the eight people carried the sedan chair to marry another woman, at that time she and her mother were heartbroken to listen to the noise on the street and cry, Li Ximu never wanted to believe that the father who once loved her and her mother so much left their mother and daughter like this.
Now, looking at the festive greeting team in front of him, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I saw the newcomer laughing, but I heard the old man crying." ”
Turn and leave.
Evening on the outskirts of the city.
The sunset reflects the red of the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun pours down lightly from the sky, enveloping everything in silence. Li Ximu sat by the lake, casually throwing stones into the lake. Looking at the sparkling lake, layers of sadness rippled in my heart, my originally bright eyes lost their brilliance, and the waves in my heart surged wildly when I lowered my eyes.
After all these years, the man really never came back to see their mother and daughter. The mother pretended to be happy in front of her, why not Liximu?
Since she was a child, whenever she asked her mother when she would come back, her mother's eyes would always show a deep sadness, and then she was in a daze, and finally smiled at her and said, "Your father just went out and will come back." ”
Until one day, she rushed back from the street, happily threw herself into her mother's arms, and asked happily with a smile like a spring flower: "Mother, my daughter saw her father on the street today, is my father already back?" ”
Then she felt that her mother's body stiffened, and in the end, she just hugged her and cried desperately, and the world was discolored. Li Ximu was at a loss to hug her mother's thin body, and that night the two of them sat in the yard with each other in their arms and cried all night.
The next day, Li Ximu calmly helped her mother into the room to rest, and from then on she knew that her father would never come back. So, from then on, she and her mother have pretended to live very happy, happy and strong lives until now, in fact, they both know each other's injuries in their hearts, but they can't bear to expose them.
Stood up and patted the dust on his body, and then went home, when he walked to the front of the house, Li Ximu put away his sadness, and then pushed the door with a smile, "Mother, I'm today"
There is no one in Jinzhou City who does not know Xiao Shuqi, not only because he is the only son of the Jinzhou prefect, but also because of his beautiful appearance.
Li Ximu has always believed that Xiao Shuqi is really as beautiful as others say, after all, a man's face can't be so beautiful.
But at this moment, the man was standing under the willow tree by the lake, dressed in white and dusty, and the wind was blowing, and his clothes were fluttering. The soft sunlight casts sporadic silhouettes through the fine fragments of the leaves, sprinkling a brilliant light on the body of the man in white. All of a sudden, everything around me was eclipsed.
The man had a dusty elegance.
Someone once said that Xiao Shuqi's beauty has nothing to do with appearance, but temperament. And at this moment, he seems to exist to verify this sentence.
Li Ximu stood on the bridge like this, looking at Xiao Shuqi in a daze.
After some time, the man seemed to notice her gaze and turned his head slightly. The eyes of the two met in the air, his eyes clear and lazy, with a hint of seduction. Strange emotions grew in the body, and as the blood spread to the heart, the heartbeat suddenly became uncontrollable and faster.
Xiao Shuqi looked at the woman standing not far away, her eyes quickly swept over the men's clothes she was wearing, and the cloth under her eyes was deep, but it quickly closed, as if it was an illusion.
Xiao Shuqi curled his lips slightly and smiled gently at Li Ximu.
Li Ximu was stunned for a moment, her heart was disturbed by the laughter, she hurriedly looked away, and her face instantly turned red. Look at him again. only to find that he had already left, and his original shyness was replaced by loss. Li Ximu thought that she should be in love with him at first sight.
It's just that she didn't expect the price of sinking at this glance.
It's night.
The moonlight is like a wash. Li Ximu sat next to her mother, staring at the moon quietly on her mother's knees, and her mother gently followed her hair. After a long time, Li Ximu muttered: "Mother, tell me about you and your father." ”
The mother's hand paused between her hair, and then it went on as usual.
She heard her mother sigh softly, and then whispered in the softest voice she had ever heard: "At that time, my mother and your father had just met. Your father is a very talented person, and my mother is so desperately in love with your father, and your father also likes it very much. Then my mother and your father built a grass house on the outskirts of the city, and it was a beautiful place, and there was a lake in front of it, and the two of us lived happily there for two years.
Your father always said that meeting me was the greatest happiness in his life. My mother likes butterflies, so your father caught many butterflies to make my mother happy. Singing poems and painting with my mother. Sometimes he played the piano and danced with him, and he said that I was the most beautiful at that time. ”
"Later, my mother became pregnant with you, and your father used all his savings to buy a small courtyard house in the city, which is where you lived when you were a child. Later, after I gave birth to you, your father decided to take the test for fame in order to make our mother and mother live a good life. ”
Li Ximu moved his posture and asked, "Were you happy at that time?" ”
After listening to her words, my mother said in a dream: "My mother is a drama, and it is my mother's blessing to meet your father." Those three years were the happiest time in my mother's life. ”
Li Ximu raised her head and looked at her mother, the silver-white moonlight gilded a thin halo on her body, like a melancholy fairy, as if the beautiful Li Qingyi had returned. She thinks that her mother should love her father very much, and she loves him so much that she can forgive him for the mistakes he has made.
But she wouldn't allow it! She didn't allow that man to waste her whole life by only giving her mother three years of happiness! She is not a mother, she will never be able to forgive that incompetent father-in-law and father!
When Li Qingyi first appeared on the stage, she was amazed. Such a mother, her daughter is naturally out of place. It's just that Li Ximu's beauty is a little more enchanting and charming than Li Qingyi.
Because of this, in the past, when I went out, I always dressed up as a man, which also saved a lot of trouble. Today, Li Ximu is dressed in a plain white embroidered yellow women's dress, with a pair of eyes full of light, indescribably delicate and moving.
She Shi Shiran took broken steps and met Xiao Shuqi unexpectedly, and when his gaze touched her, Li Ximu clearly saw a touch of surprise in his eyes. A smile crept up the corners of her mouth, full of joy Xiao Shuqi's startling glance.
Since then, every day Li Ximu will meet Xiao Shuqi's steps. In this way, from the very beginning of the passing of shoulders to the later look at each other and smile.
Until one day, Xiao Shuqi and her "coincidentally" met on the shore of Wanqu Lake again, his sparkling black eyes stared at her for a moment, and then walked towards this side elegantly. The crisp manly breath is close at hand. Li Ximu lowered her head, her cheeks crimson, and her heartstrings fluttered.
Xiao Shuqi smiled like a spring breeze, and saluted her slightly, "Miss, it can be said that you and I meet frequently because of fate, today's wind and sun are beautiful, and Wanqu Lake is also beautiful." I wonder if the young lady would like to go boating here? ”
Li Ximu raised her head, her watery eyes were shining, and she looked at the love in his eyes that was burning and blooming, and her affection was bound. The face was as beautiful as a red glow, and the brilliance under the eyes suddenly appeared, and then the red lips opened lightly: "Childe's good intentions, how can the little girl refuse." ”
The spring breeze is soft, the water is rippling, the painting boats on Wanqu Lake are staggered, and the sons and daughters of many official families are taking advantage of the good spring to go boating and playing. The joyful laughter accompanied by the faint sheng song and dance on the painting boat is particularly beautiful.
Li Ximu and Xiao Shuqi sat in a light boat together, a little embarrassed, and they didn't dare to look at Xiao Shuqi sitting there, so they had to turn their eyes away.
There were a few dusty women gathered on the flower boat not far from them, all dressed as deceptive flowers and willows, leaning on the railing and beckoning, so not high-profile. The spring sun is gorgeous, shining on the red-covered faces that look more and more delicate, coupled with the charming laughter, the eyes of the noble sons present are all gathered.
Li Ximu turned his gaze and secretly glanced at Xiao Shuqi, wanting to see if a man like him was like those boys, but when he raised his head, he crashed into a deep feeling.
What does he seem to be thinking?
Sensing her gaze, Xiao Shuqi retracted his thoughts and smiled at Li Ximu, the smile was warm and peaceful, just like this warm day.
Li Ximu was flustered again.
"Hehe, in Xia Xiao Shuqi, dare to ask what Miss is called?" The low smile is like a catkins floating down in the spring, falling softly in the palm of the hand, blown by the wind, slightly floating with a hint of itching.
Li Ximu's eyes flowed, and her voice was shy: "Xiao Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, just call me Li Ximu." ”
Xiao Shuqi glanced at the painting boat that had been stopping somewhere opposite, and still smiled gently: "Miss Li, do you say that you have a fate with you?" ”
When Li Ximu heard this, his cheeks suddenly turned even redder, and he thought to himself, did he know that he deliberately approached him? Don't you think she is as shameless as those dusty women?
Thinking of this, Li Xi Mu Dai frowned slightly, chagrin appeared on her face, and under the entanglement in her heart, a thin layer of sweat floated on the wing of her nose, shining brightly in the sunlight. It is more beautiful and moving against the whole face.
"Xiao Gongzi, I" Li Ximu was just about to say something, but Xiao Shuqi reached out and pressed it on her lips, covering up the explanation she was about to blurt out.
I saw him chuckle lightly, looking at her with tenderness in his eyes: "Miss Li, I'm afraid that what I will say next is a little abrupt and beautiful, but if I don't say it, I feel a little sad in my heart, what do you say?" ”
"Xiao Gongzi, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Ximu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.
Xiao Shuqi looked at the woman in front of him, and a dark light appeared in his eyes: "Does Miss Li know that she has admired you for a long time?" ”
"What?" Looking up in disbelief, Li Ximu couldn't believe his words, it turned out that he had always liked her?
"Scares you, doesn't it?" Xiao Shuqi's eyes welled up with sadness, and there was sadness between his eyebrows, as if Li Ximu's disbelief made him very sad, "But what I said below is all true." ”
Li Ximu lowered her eyes to hide the brilliance in her eyes, and her heart was already happy.
That's what you want, and everything seems to be a natural one.
Spring is like a dream.
She and Su Qi boated on Wanqu Lake, released paper kites, and sang peach blossoms. The red thread that bound the two of them became tighter and tighter, and the closer they were. From time to time, Li Ximu sat at home thinking about himself and Su Qi, and smiled when he raised land. Seeing her happy, my mother is also happy.
Summer like a drop.
Li Ximu looked at the large lotus flowers in the pool, and was moved for no reason, and raised her eyes to look at Su Qi, her eyes were filled with smoke and fog, and she was affectionate. So is Su Qi.
Autumn is like drunk.
Li Xi Mu snuggled in Su Qi's arms and watched the full moon, listening to him tell her ancient moving legends in a deep and beautiful voice. He said that he would love her only one person and love her alone for the rest of his life like Wu Gang loved Chang'e. That's how the promise of a lifetime was made. Li Ximu shyly buried her face in his arms, and the feeling of happiness overflowed from her heart little by little.
Winter is like rain.
She danced in the snow like a fairy in the snow. A bright smile like a red plum blooming in the snow. Su Qi stood not far away, looking at her and smiling, the doting in his eyes did not need to be expressed.
In this way, Li Ximu was addicted to Su Qi's gentleness and couldn't extricate herself, and she could even understand her mother's uncomplaining and unrepentant attitude towards her father. (To be continued.) )
