Chapter 348: Hope Falls West
Li Qingzhao's expression was calm, and then he began to smile softly, but the smile on his face suddenly appeared, which was really unpredictable. Smiling, but suddenly laughing. He opened his mouth and laughed a few times, reaching out to cover his lips, but he couldn't stop laughing. Laughing and laughing, but suddenly tears flowed, and then the whole face became crying again.
Lu Defu was fascinated and hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you crying?" Brother Zhao, is something wrong with him? Although Dev got the letter, he didn't look at it! ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head and said, "Xianggong, he is not fine. ”
When Lu Defu heard this, a smile appeared on his face and said, "That's fine, Dev is very happy." Did he say where he was? Dev also wanted to know. I haven't seen him for many days, so I'm worried about Brother Zhao. ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head and smiled: "Xianggong said that he did not leave the capital. ”
Lu Defu stretched out his head and asked suspiciously, "Isn't his family degraded?" ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head again and said, "No, my father-in-law is very good, and their family is still in the capital." Xianggong is also in the capital. ”
After saying that, Li Qingzhao held the letter in both hands, his eyes did not blink, he stared at the letter directly, shed tears, but laughed happily, and said to himself: "Okay, it's good, Xianggong is still in the capital." ”
Lu Defu hurriedly asked curiously, "Brother Zhao still said what happened to him?" ”
Li Qingzhao sneered, reached out to gently wipe his tears on his face, and then said, "Xianggong said that he is coming back." ”
Lu Defu was stunned, and his expression froze. Busy asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "Naturally, I came back to Qingzhou." Hehe, this idiot, he still knows to come back. ”
Lu Defu was immediately overjoyed. Looking at his sister-in-law, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Zhao, he wants to come back?" So what else did he say no? ”
Li Qingzhao hugged the letter into his arms, and then pursed his lips and said sweetly: "He also said that he misses me." ”
Lu Defu blushed, then stepped back, waved his hand and said, "Later, Defu won't ask." It's just that Brother Zhao and his family have not been degraded? Brother Zhao, how did he come back? It's weird. ”
Li Qingzhao pursed his lips. was still immersed in sweetness, but he took the words of the Dev brothers as the east wind in his ears and didn't pay attention to it at all. Raise your eyes to look at the sky outside. Li Qingzhao only felt that the sky was so blue. Taking a deep breath is also cool and refreshing.
Lu Defu looked at his sister-in-law, obviously already immersed in her own joy. I don't care about myself as an outsider. I thought to myself: "In short, Brother Zhao will be back soon, which is indeed a great thing." Devo is happy for his sister-in-law, I'm really happy. Forget it, Dev came here to deliver the letter, and now that the letter has been delivered, it's time for me to go. ”
So he got up, and Lu Defu said to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law." Dev is gone. ”
Li Qingzhao nodded slightly and said softly, "Oh." You're leaving......"
Suddenly turning his head, Li Qingzhao looked at Brother Dev and asked seriously, "What did you say?" ”
Lu Defu laughed and said, "Sister-in-law has no time to take care of Defu, Defu is going home." ”
Li Qingzhao was embarrassed, his face was flushed, he immediately got up, and said busily: "What did Brother Defu say, how could Qingzhao get rid of you?" ”
Lu Defu shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, Defu knows what his sister-in-law means, his sister-in-law is good to Dafu, and Defu remembers it in his heart!" Today, Devo congratulates his sister-in-law and can be with Brother Zhao again. So Dev went home. ”
Li Qingzhao looked at the Defu brother's face full of sincerity, and knew in his heart that he was also telling the truth, and he no longer forced him, so he smiled and signaled: "Okay, Qingzhao will not be far away." ”
Lu Defu pointed at his sister-in-law and laughed: "Sister-in-law finally told the truth." What Devo wants is the truth from his sister-in-law. I won't stay much today, I'll come back another day, and when Brother Zhao comes back, Dev will come to congratulate him in person. ”
Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "Don't send my brother." ”
Lu Defu waved his arm, and then staggered out the door, laughing loudly and striding away.
After Li Qingzhao saw the figure of the Defu brothers far away, he lowered his head again, unfolded the letter, read it again, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thought silently: "Xianggong, how long has it been?" Qingzhao has been waiting for you to come back, but Qingzhao did not wait in vain, and finally waited for you to come back. ”
Suddenly, all the mixed tastes in his heart had gathered, and Li Qingzhao recalled the time when he drove his husband away, when a hundred people were unwilling, but they still had no choice but to drive him away. In the months that followed, I stood in the courtyard and looked to the west, waiting for a letter, but I didn't hear from him for days. How many days have I been thinking in my heart that after the Xianggui will not be degraded, I will go to a dilapidated place to become a commoner. Or did he become a local petty official and abandoned himself. Although he knows that he loves him deeply, he is helpless about the vicissitudes of the world.
For many days, in the middle of the night, I reached out and touched the head of the bed where my husband slept before, only to feel extremely cold, and other than that, there was no other feeling. Every time I touch the cold, my heart is also cold. I cried secretly at night, and after crying, I looked at the sleeping child, and then I was a little relieved.
That painful taste, now in retrospect, is also a memory.
But it's nothing, the important thing is that Xianggong is coming back! Either way, he's coming back. My father-in-law and his family have not been degraded, it's great, my father-in-law can come back with peace of mind.
Li Qingzhao stretched out his hand to hold the letter, overjoyed, and couldn't help but take a step towards the door, holding the letter in one hand and the door frame with the other, looking up at the sky, rowing geese south, but this was the time for him to meet his husband again.
It's so good, the weather is cool and the autumn solstice, but I am very happy!
Li Qing looked at the sky, and suddenly sneered, no matter how he suffered in the past, it seems that it is always worth it today, as long as Xianggong comes back, he will never be separated from him again.
Holding the letter in both hands again, Li Qing looked at every word on the letter, and after smiling, he still smiled.
After this day, a few more days passed. Li Qingzhao always stood at the door, sometimes feeling that it was not enough, and walked to the street door again. looked out, only to see hurried pedestrians on the road, but there was no figure of Xianggong.
When Li Gefei and Li's mother heard this, they were all happy, thinking that their son-in-law was also loyal, and after everything was done in their own family, they thought about coming back to accompany their mother-in-law. Such a man is a good man.
Li Gefei also sighed happily: "Okay, the old man didn't misunderstand him. Zhao Defu is a really good kid. ”
But after a few days, there was still no news, and Li Qingzhao stood at the door every day. Blankly staring outside. Looking at the passers-by, I was anxious and worried, but I still couldn't wait to come to the fair.
Li Gefei had nothing to do, so he went to the door from time to time to see, and whenever he went, he could always see his daughter's figure, and in desperation, Li Gefei would go forward to comfort him. But to no avail. Li Qingzhao has already strengthened his heart, and Xianggong will definitely come back. It's just a matter of time before you come back.
But a month has passed, and there is still no news from Xianggong.
Even if it is another letter, tell yourself when the husband will come back.
But no. Apart from the last letter, there was no other news from Xiang Gong. Li Qingzhao held the door with one hand and the letter in the other, the letters were yellowed, and the letter paper was rough, but Li Qingzhao had no choice but to take the letter, look down, and look up to look outside, the pedestrians were in a hurry, and she recognized the wrong person many times.
After another month like this, Li Qingzhao still stood at the door and looked up, and finally felt impatient in his heart, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that Qingzhao is wrong?" Or is it a mistake to read the date on this letter? ”
But when I opened the letter again, I couldn't find a date. Li Qingzhao was sad, and thought to himself: "This is strange, even if Xianggong comes back on foot, he should have arrived at this time, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Was this epistle written by someone else? ”
Looking at the letter carefully, Li Qingzhao shook his head again, and muttered in his heart: "No, no, this letter is written by the father-in-law, and there will be no mistakes." Qingzhao recognized his words. ”
But since it was written by Xianggong himself, it must be true, but why didn't Xianggong come back?
Li Qingzhao stomped his feet impatiently, still useless. Reaching out to hold the door, a little disheartened.
The sun sets in the west, and the moon sets in the west. Autumn rain in the west, sunny in the west. So repeatedly, but still not to be fair.
Li Qingzhao waited in a panic, and sometimes he even thought wildly, and secretly guessed: "Isn't it because Xianggong took a detour?" From the East? ”
But how is this possible?
Li Qingzhao laughed to himself and shook his head helplessly. Stand in the doorway today, drop your back a little tomorrow, and then squat on the ground. With only his eyes, he was still looking at the western sky outside, and he was still pondering in his heart: "I came back to Qingzhou from Bianjing City, and I also came from the west, how long has it been now, why hasn't he come back?" Do you think it's a deception? ”
The fire of anger came out from the bottom of his heart, and Li Qingzhao wanted to reach out and tear the letter apart. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he relented, and hurriedly touched the letter neatly, folded it, and slowly put it back in his pocket. He put his palm on his chin again, still staring outside, only seeing people coming and going. As the sun sets, the number of people is scarcer.
Li Gefei and Li Mu looked at Qingzhao like this, and they both sighed, only to feel that this good news has now become bad news. How happy was his daughter when she received the letter? But now? But he could only sigh and weep continuously.
Li Gefei said angrily: "What's the matter with Zhao Mingcheng, if he doesn't look down on my daughter, he can marry someone else, who can fool him with a letter?" ”
Mother Li still sighed: "That's not the case, Mingcheng is honest and trustworthy, since he speaks, it will definitely be realized, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Li Gefei shook his head and said: "The world is unpredictable, who knows what he will become?" The singing and dancing in the capital is leveling, there are many beauties, whether he Zhao Mingcheng will change his mind, who knows? ”
Turning his head again, Li Gefei said to his daughter: "Qingzhao, you don't have to be sad, without him Zhao Mingcheng, we are still happy." You don't have to wait for him either. ”
Li Qingzhao cried and shook his head: "No, Qingzhao believes that since Xianggong has spoken, it will definitely come true." Qingzhao will wait for him at this gate, waiting for him to return. ”
Li Gefei shook his head and said, "It's been a long time, who knows if he will come back?" Fooling people with this epistle, does he treat us as three-year-olds? ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head and said, "Daddy, you can guess at other people, but it's just Xianggong, you can't guess him." ”
Li Gefei shook his head and said: "The daughter who married out is no longer the old man's person, so you will speak to your father-in-law." Daddy doesn't care about you, you are cold and hungry, you are in charge. ”
Li Qingzhao cried, but did not look back, his eyes still stared forward, waiting for Xianggong to come back.
After a few more days, it was gradually the end of September, and he still didn't wait for the father-in-law, Li Qingzhao lowered his head from time to time, looking at the letter that he had touched thousands of times, and was stunned and stupid, as if this letter was an untouchable dream, only beckoning to him, but he couldn't see it or touch it.
Li Qingzhao secretly doubted in his heart: "Xianggong, are you really not coming back?" Qingzhao waited for you for another day, and if you didn't come back, Qingzhao would tear up this letter and throw it into the autumn wind, and from then on he would forget you and never think about you again. ”
The autumn wind blew, and gradually the sunset was the day again, and it was already the second day, but there was still no news of the public. Li Qingzhao stood at the door, looking at the western sky, but he still couldn't look at Xianggong.
If this is the case, what is the use of letters?
Li Qingzhao's heart finally gloomy, and he completely lost hope.
Xianggong, are you really using this letter to deceive Qingzhao?
Li Qingzhao looked out with teary eyes, stretched out his hands, and had already unfolded the letter.
Li Qingzhao secretly thought in his heart: "Forget it, tear up the letter, he won't come back." ”
But as soon as his hands trembled, Li Qingzhao couldn't get down.
What if the husband comes back in two days?
But what if he doesn't come back? Are you just waiting here by yourself?
Forget it, now that you have made a decision, you will not back down. If Xianggong didn't come today, he probably won't come again.
Tear the letter apart.
But Li Qingzhao still couldn't make up his mind, and folded the letter again.
Suddenly, I heard the Defu brothers shouting in the distance, "Sister-in-law, stop." ”
Li Qingzhao looked up, his heart was extremely depressed, and he had no intention of talking to the Defu brothers again.
Lu Defu walked over quickly and laughed loudly: "Sister-in-law, what are you crying for?" ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head and said, "Brother Defu doesn't need to ask more. ”
Lu Defu smiled and said: "Yes, Dev doesn't ask much, Dev came today to have something to say." ”
Li Qingzhao suddenly shook his spirits and hurriedly asked, "Is he back?" ”
Lu Defu shook his head again and again and said, "No, Brother Zhao, he didn't come back, but he wrote again." ”
Li Qingzhao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "What letter? Take it and show it to your sister-in-law. ”
Lu Defu looked at his sister-in-law's anxious look, and didn't say more, took out the letter from his arms, and immediately handed it to his sister-in-law. (To be continued......)
