Chapter 118: Dreams

Tong Xue had a dream that night.

The resolute woman in the dream is like herself but not like herself.

In late spring, the morning sun rises, and the air is soaked with a hint of warmth and the scent of flowers.

At the time of the third watch, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was already busy inside and out, all because today was the day when the eldest girl Tong Xue came out of the cabinet.

The big girl Pearl bowed down and tested the temperature of the water in the bathtub, walked out of the screen, and whispered to Tong Xue, who had been sitting on the bed all night: "Girl, it's time to bathe." ”

Tong Xue never closed her eyes all night, her eyes were covered with red bloodshots, her eyes were stunned, and there was no trace of vitality.

Pearl felt a pain in her heart, and her voice choked up, "Girl, let's go, the world is big, there is always a place for us!" ”

"Let's go? Why go? Tong Xue's eyes were cold, Huo Ran got up and got out of bed, took off his clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.

"Girl?" Pearl followed, her face full of melancholy.

Tong Xue leaned her head on the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Even if I die and have no place to be buried, I will make arrangements for a few of you." Let's finish this last journey in peace. ”

Pearl's lips squirmed, and her eyes were dotted with tears.

"Hmm!" She replied heavily, rolled up her sleeves, dipped the veil in the water, and bathed Tong Xue.

At the fourth watch, Tong Xue finished dressing up, and the girl Jade came in from the outside and said in a low voice: "Girl, the old lady and the second lady are here." ”

Tong Xue tugged at the corners of her mouth, covered the indignation in her eyes, and sat dignified.

Aunt Tong Xue, the current Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis. Holding the old lady's hand, he walked in.

However, until they approached, Tong Xue did not get up to greet them.

Tong Xue didn't move, the pearl and jade also stood with their eyes down, and the old lady Tong and Aunt Tong touched a soft nail.

The old lady didn't seem to realize the abnormality in the house, she shook off Aunt Tong's support, went to take Tong Xue's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Snow girl, it's grandmother who can't stand you." ”

Tong Xue withdrew her hand and said expressionlessly, "Why is grandmother acting in front of me?" I'm not afraid of sore teeth! ”

Mrs. Tong was overwhelmed by this sentence. The face is flushed!

"Snow girl. Don't be too ignorant."

"Shut up!"

As soon as Aunt Tong's sour voice started, she was interrupted by Mrs. Tong.

Aunt Tong's lips squirmed, and she finally clenched the handkerchief in her hand resentfully.

Mrs. Tong took a Nanmu box from the hand of the personal girl and handed it to Tong Xue. "It's the only thing I've had left over the years. Take it. Although the child of the He family acts more radically, he still has a trace of sincerity towards you."

Old Lady Tong couldn't go on here, and turned around gloomily. With the support of the girl, she left lonely.

Second Aunt Tong stared at the Nanmu box with burning eyes, and her heart throbbed as if she had been pricked by a needle.

She glared at Tong Xue with her eyes as if she could breathe fire, and followed the old lady away resentfully.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Tong Xue sneered at the corner of her mouth, staring at the box.

He Zhizhou still has a trace of sincerity for her?

How did the old lady say such a thing with a clear conscience?

When he opened the box, his eyes touched a stack of silver tickets with a face value of five hundred taels, about twenty or thirty pieces, as well as three shops and two Zhuangzi, and the title deeds of 500 acres of fertile land.

Mrs. Tong took out all her life savings.

Tong Xue sneered, but unfortunately it was too late.

Tong Xue closed the box and handed it to the pearl, "Put it in the same place as the box I gave you earlier, and after today, you will divide the contents and make a good living." ”

"Girl!" Pearl stomped her foot, her eyes reddened, and tears fell, "Why are you so stubborn!" ”

Jade pulled the pearl, stalked her neck and said, "It's a big deal, let's accompany the girl to death together!" ”

"Who wants you to die with me! You all have to live well! Tong Xue glared at Jade and said sharply.

Jade bit her lip aggrievedly and hung her head.

On the fifth watch, the sound of blowing and blowing faintly came, and the pearl was like a great enemy, and said with a solemn face: "Girl, the team to welcome the relatives has arrived." ”

Tong Xue nodded and let the jade cover her head.

After a while, there was a commotion outside, and the groom, dressed in a red wedding dress, strode into the boudoir and said affectionately: "Ah Ying, I'm here." ”

Tong Xue's slender fingers hidden under the wide-sleeved robe clenched suddenly, and the strong hatred in her eyes was mixed with a touch of sorrow.

She couldn't remember how many years no one had called her Ah Ying.

But it came out of this man's mouth!

Two lines of tears silently overflowed from their eyes.

He Zhizhou bowed down and took Tong Xue's hand, and when he caught the sweat of his hand, his thin lips brushed her earlobe, and he murmured like a lover's whisper: "The embarrassment they gave you today, I will ask for it back for you ten times in the future!" ”

The corners of Tong Xue's mouth were slightly upturned, and she stood up softly, and suddenly the world was spinning, and He Zhizhou actually hugged her horizontally!

"Your Excellency!" Xi Niang's voice sounded in a hurry, and under He Zhizhou's sharp eyes, she swallowed it alive.

The blowing sound intensified, and Tong Xue was put into the sedan chair by He Zhizhou in the onlookers of a few servants.

The masters in the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion never showed up from beginning to end, trying their best to maintain the dignity of this century-old Hou's Mansion.

Bumpy all the way, came to Hefu, compared to the cold reception received in Dingyuan Houfu, Hefu was full of friends, and there were many guests who came to congratulate him.

Tong Xue was supported by the bride and finished the salute with He Zhizhou, and was sent to the wedding room.

The rest is a long wait.

After Tong Xue waited for the irrelevant people in the room to disappear, Fang Jing took off her hijab and asked Pearl in a low voice: "Is everything ready?" ”

Pearl nodded with a heavy face.

Tong Xue smiled, her white fingers gently stroked a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets on her wrist, "After that person comes later, you will withdraw, take the box, hide in the side room, and wait for the fire to start, then take advantage of the chaos to escape, find a clean place in the mountains, and live a good life!" ”

"Girl! You go with the slaves! Pearl's face flushed in a hurry, "The slave can't watch you die!" ”

Jade "poofed", and knelt down towards Tong Xue with a resolute face, "The slave will not persuade the girl to decide what she has decided, only ask the girl for permission and let the slave accompany you to the end!" The slave has no relatives and no reason in this world, if it weren't for the girl, she would already be a pile of white bones! Sister Pearl and Niang Laozi, the slave and maid are alone, begging the girl not to leave the slave and maid! ”

Pearl also knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "The slave and maid have their own eldest brother to take care of, if the girl is unwilling to go, the slave and the maid will follow you to the end!" ”

"Get up, cry and cry!" Tong Xue reprimanded in a low voice, turned her face away, and wiped the tears from her face with her hands. (To be continued......)
