It was Ying Yi's voice, the voice was angry and sour, faintly coming out of the small pavilion in front, and the words were in the back, and the nasal voice was thick.
Xingzhao was immediately stunned in place, his face was dark and uncertain, he bit his lip tightly, his eyebrows and eyes did not move for half a minute, but his heart sank down, there were hundreds of guesses, thousands of preparations, and thousands of assumptions. When it really came to that day, after hearing it with my own ears, I still couldn't believe it, and I didn't expect that I had guessed correctly and bet correctly...
Sure enough, it's not like the rumors in Dingjing in the previous life - Lin'an Hou He Yan is graceful, and the people are like bamboos, and the eldest princess of Yingyi fell in love at first sight after the new widow, and she didn't marry.
Xingzhao hurriedly looked back, but saw Lianyu covering her mouth, her eyes widened, she smiled at her comfortingly, and patted her hand again, signaling her not to panic.
Lianyu didn't know what was going on, and the first time she heard the secret of the sky, her heart was like a big stone, and it was like being in an ice cellar in the first month, and she was so cold that she didn't dare to move.
I felt that my hand was patted again, with an indescribable stability, and I looked up in panic, but I saw Xingzhao frowning and smiling, and I felt that Xingzhao's smile was bitter and weird, and it was more unbelievably calm.
The master and servant had different intentions, hiding behind the red lacquer pillar, and the two people in the small pavilion didn't know it.
In the small pavilion, several window lattices were closed, and the inner room was dark and moist with only direct light shining through the cracks in the window lattices. There was light mottled on the face of the eldest princess Ying Yi, Ying Yi propped herself up on the dusty half of the table, leaned forward, the corners of her eyebrows were high, and Fang Cai's sentence was not so much a question as a pleading.
"What do you want me to promise you? Marry you? In front of him was a green bamboo moire-trimmed shirt, standing in front of the window with his back hand, his face was handsome, but his brows were tightly locked and he spoke in a deep voice.
"You made me wait for you! I'll wait until you wear auspicious clothes to marry that Fang's clan!" What's so good about Fang's? What the hell is good about her! Ying Yi's originally suppressed tone suddenly rose up, and he was very resentful, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.
He Yan turned around and hugged Ying Yi's shoulder, the woman in front of her was almost out of control, so she had to comfort me gently: "You and I met in a young man, Fang's Mu Ne is clumsy, in the end, I can't compare to you and me." Zhang Jun is very tired of you, you know that I have been worried about you. As soon as Zhang Junyi died, you sent someone to send me a flower note and let me come, I didn't care about the future of my family, didn't I come too? β
Xingzhao listened quietly, his face did not move for half a minute, but Lianyu trembled like a sieve next to him, probably more afraid than angry.
When the truth appears in its original form, even if the truth can be as dull as a knife cut, it is necessary to grit your teeth and calm down - this is the realization after suffering.
When Ying Yi heard this, his eyes turned red and his heart softened. In the quiet and good times of his youth, he was a sassy and heroic young man in the Hou Mansion, and others regarded him as a coral treasure, and worshiped him. Only he, obviously a merry man in a green shirt and a square scarf, dared to wave a horsewhip, kicked away in the dust, and after riding a horse to win her, he turned back and smiled at her. This smile, this person, went straight into the heart, unforgettable.
"Ah Yan...", this voice was extremely lingering and compassionate, "I still keep your jade flute." I embroidered the fan cover for you, but I don't see you wearing it anymore. β
He Yan stretched out his hand to grab Yingyi, hugged him into his arms, and said softly, "I'll hide it carefully." It's my fault, Fang's mother took the trouble to marry. At that time..."
"I know!" Ying Yi hurriedly interrupted, "At that time, the Lin'an Hou Mansion was in turmoil, and the old marquis had been ill for many years, so you needed a foreigner with extremely hard arms. Although I am a princess, if you marry me, you will have to set up another princess's mansion to live, and the Lin'an Hou Mansion is really broken..."
Xingzhao's palms have been torn out of the blood by his fingernails, holding on to the pillar, slowly raising his head, looking at the carvings of the hundred children playing with babies under the eaves, almost wanting to cry, about the men in the world are a virtue, judging the situation, only taking what is needed, hiding one in his heart, putting one around him, which one is useful to marry, and when it is useless, he will abandon it like a piece of paper, and then find his true heart.
Zhou Pingning is like this, and so is He Yan.
It's just that the mother is innocent! How innocent is she! All kinds of unladylike women in the world, how innocent!
"If only you could understand. On that day's wedding, I was drunk and picked off Fang's Xipa, and God knows how much I wished I could see your face as soon as I opened it. Seeing that the woman was as gentle as ever, He Yan relieved his heart and continued to speak softly.
Ying Yi raised his head with great joy, and said hurriedly: "Zhang Junyi is dead!" Marry me! I went to ask the queen mother, let me be the wife of the He family, you still have to wait in peace, you don't have to move to the eldest princess's mansion! When the time comes, I will give birth to children for you, I will clear the back house for you, and we will grow old..."
In the end, the sweetness in the words was so full that it almost overflowed.
Xingzhao's heart clenched tightly, held his breath, lifted his skirt, bowed down and walked along the wall, but he heard a clear voice inside, and said with a little hesitation: "In the end, the Fang family is married to a wife, and he has not committed the crime of seven outs, and he has stopped his wife and marries another, even Queen Fang can't say it." β
Ying Yi snorted: "Queen Fang? The saint has long been tired of the Fang family! The Fang family is far away in the northwest, supporting the army and respecting themselves, and the elder brother has a lot of reproaches in and out of his words, and he heard his mother say that he has not even been to Fengyi Palace recently. β
Listening to Ying Yi with a little smugness, he continued: "Queen Fang has no children and has fallen out of favor, and now she has to be a man with her tail between her legs in the palace, and it is difficult to protect herself, where can she manage the Fang family." β
Xingzhao was shocked, in her previous life, she was just a deep lady, and after her mother committed suicide in the first month, there seemed to be a big turmoil in the court. After her mother died, where would someone come to Lin'anhou Mansion to talk to her about the Fang family, and make her sad in vain. It's just that in the end, Queen Fang was not abolished.
Xingzhao hurriedly put his ear on the green brick, but heard He Yan's rare passionate voice: "Is this true?" Fang family... The Fang family has been operating in the northwest for many years, and it is deeply rooted in the northwest, and in recent years, there are indeed more and more people who have participated in the Fang family in a row, but the saints have stayed in the middle and do not send it, and it is not like to make efforts to rectify it. β
Ying Yi pursed his lips, and the corners of his eyebrows were raised: "I don't know about you men's previous dynasties, but I know that ** is sometimes a mirror, and it really shines." He was happy again, got up from He Yan's arms, and said happily: "When the Fang family falls and the Fang family dies, I will marry into the He family and give birth to a white and fat son-in-law." Looking at Fang's like that, how many good children can be born? β
The lotus jade pestle was on the edge of the pillar, and she didn't dare to gasp for breath, and she trembled more and more. Wanting to keep up with Xingzhao in front of him, he raised his steps tremblingly, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, kicked a broken brick, and exclaimed in a low voice.
The reaction inside was extremely sensitive, and it immediately quieted down, only the man drank in a low and alert voice: "Who! β
Xingzhao pulled Lianyu over and reflexively hid in the corner.
He Yan stepped forward and opened the door in a few steps, half-hidden, leaned out to see, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he walked to the corner of the wall with a single step.
Xingzhao covered Lianyu's mouth and squatted at the bottom of the steps, watching through the horizontal railing as the pair of cowhide straight boots got closer and closer, his heart beat faster and faster, and the screams hidden in his throat almost wanted to burst out.
"Master Hou? What are you doing here? It was Mother He who was calling at the other end of the small pavilion, and Xingzhao almost cried with joy for a moment.
He Yan was also startled when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, turned around with his head in his hands, walked over hurriedly as he spoke, and closed the door without a trace: "I'm still looking for people everywhere to serve, what about the third master?" β
Xingzhao saw that the pair of straight boots turned to the side, reacted very quickly, pulled Lianyu and ran into the path, running all the way briskly, the wind hit his face, and he didn't feel pain, but he felt that there was snow blindfolded his eyes, otherwise how could it be foggy.
The master and servant drilled through the side door, and the farther away from the small courtyard, Lianyu dared to cry and slowed down her pace: "Girl-"
Xingzhao didn't stop, only turned his head, and said with a calm face: "We have to go to Tingyin Hall before Ying Yi and change all the wet shoes and socks, so that Ying Yi will not be suspicious." β
"Girl, you-" Why are you crying! Lianyu didn't dare to continue, her heart felt even more sad, she heard her father and lover conspiring with her lover how to abandon her mother, what should the girl do?
Lianyu wiped the water on her face with her hand, and she didn't know if it was tears or snow, and her expression was like a strong man breaking his wrist: "Lianyu is a girl's person, and she eats the girl's food, the girl..."
Xingzhao slowed down his pace, looked at Lianyu with teary eyes, wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and finally pulled away a smile with tears: "I know, I know... I still have you... I need to be stronger..."
The master and servant went to the listening hall together, and after listening to Mrs. Tai's talk about whether it was cold outside, they went to the inner hall to change their shoes and socks.
As soon as he came out, it was the erhu babbling and whispering on the stage, lingering nine times, extremely sad.
Fang Niang, played by Liu Wenlian, re-applied the mirror to the yellow appliquΓ©, changed back to her daughter's costume and returned to her hometown, but the old father in her hometown had already driven west, leaving only a grave.
He Xingzhao's eyes flashed past the vacant seat in Yingyi, and his eyes were fixed on the stage.
She knew that from then on, her father had left only a grave in her heart.
