Chapter 19: Dream Entanglement
19. Dream entanglement
Mother Qi in her sleep seemed to be poisoned, and her face was dark, she saw a weak little girl kneeling beside Mother Qi's bed, looking at Mother Qi, who was tortured by the toxin, but there was nothing she could do, she could only kneel on the side of the bed and weep miserably.
The scene seemed to have changed again, it was replaced by herself, she saw Qi's mother crying, and she was lying on Qi's mother's shoulder, and her breath was weak, and then she saw her father Huo Guang, and then she remembered what Qi's mother said, if she hadn't met Huo Guang, Huo Mei might have died at that time, she remembered that she was only five years old at that time.
In a trance, a red figure appeared, with a long scarlet skirt and a full head of white hair, a beautiful face with stunning faces, and blood-colored red lips were so dazzling.
At the same time, Huo Mei's master, Huo Mei remembered that when he first saw his master when he was five years old, he saw the white hair of the red lady, Huo Mei was not afraid, but walked over and picked up a strand of white hair in his hand and stroked it:
"What beautiful hair!"
Also because of Huo Mei's courage, the red lady's eyes lit up, and she had to ask Huo Guang to ask Huo Mei as an apprentice, and learned that Huo Mei's left shoulder also had a plum blossom birthmark, and the red lady immediately decided to hand over Moxiang Pavilion to her to inherit, she said that this was her fate with the Huo family.
Until she was ten years old, the red lady died of illness, before her death, Huo Mei rushed to the Western Regions to see her for the last time, at that time the red lady's face was withered, the person had been thin into skin and bones, the skinny hand tightly grasped Huo Mei's small hand, used the last strength to raise his body to look at Huo Mei, and fell back to the bed weakly, and slowly said to Huo Mei for a long time:
"Mei'er, the matchmaker can finally go to her beloved man! You should be happy for me, do you know why the matchmaker likes to wear red dresses? Huo Mei watched the light in her master's eyes dim little by little, and knew that she was really not good, so she could only barely hold back her tears and shook her head gently.
The red lady looked in the direction of Huo Mei, as if she was looking at Huo Mei, but in fact, she had long been unable to see anything, and the glimpse just now was the last look.
"The man said that when he returns, he wants me to stand on the high platform and wear a red robe to greet him in triumph, because as long as he comes back alive, he will definitely marry me, and he will love me only for the rest of his life! It's a pity...... What I ushered in was his coffin, and a plain white! That day, I had gray hair overnight and became a demon girl in the eyes of people, and people said that the Red Lady of Moxiang Pavilion was a female devil who killed people without blinking, raised assassins, opened a green building, and was the most despicable woman in the eyes of the world! ”
But they didn't know that the red lady had never married in her life, just for the man who took care of her in vain! The most powerful thing in this world is never weapons, but human emotions, the pain of losing a loved one is far more painful than ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, so the red lady wants to sue you, don't fall in love with anyone lightly, because there is love, so the pain will erode people's hearts, so that you can't live in pain......"
Huo Mei is still trapped in a dream and can't extricate herself, Linglong and Xiaohong on the side of the bed have already been in a hurry, the grandmother outside the door has been urging several times, General Wei Ling has also stood outside the door for a long time, it is unlucky to miss the time to visit the church, Linglong can only kneel on the side of the bed and call over and over again:
"Miss, don't scare the slave so much, when is this, you can't sleep!"
But at this moment, Huo Mei couldn't hear it at all, so she could only let herself continue to float in the dream, many people floated in front of her eyes, her sister Huo Jun's ridicule, her father Huo Guang's kindness, but she didn't see her mother Mrs. Huo, because no matter when, Huo Mei felt that this person was so strange to her, she couldn't even remember whether her mother had given her the slightest love.
"Miss, Miss, wake up!" There was a delicate and noisy voice in her ears, Huo Mei woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Linglong kneeling beside the bed with tears in her eyes, and Xiaohong was relieved at the moment when Huo Mei woke up.
"What time is it?" Seeing that Huo Mei wanted to get up, Xiaohong hurriedly helped her.
"It's half an hour before noon......"
Noon? Huo Mei was shocked at this time, looked up at the cave room, and the familiar scenes in the previous life fell into view, the carved bed hung with a red curtain, and the mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on it were embroidered by the old lady herself.
In the previous life, Huo Mei also broke her head in the sedan chair, and was ridiculed by Mrs. Wei for a long time, thinking of this, Huo Mei got up from the bed and beckoned Linglong to tidy up the wedding dress on her body.
"Miss is really going to marry General Wei? Mr. Xiahou said that if you don't want to, he can help you leave Chang'an City! When Linglong went out to fetch water, Xiaohong had already knelt in front of Huo Mei, with a worried look on her face.
Huo Mei smiled faintly, as a woman, she will marry sooner or later, even if it is her own master, the Red Lady, if it wasn't for the man who died in battle, the Red Lady should be with the man who loves each other at this moment
Let's grow old together!
Rather than marrying the emperor and becoming a pawn in his hands, Huo Mei would rather marry Wei Ling and become his unique wife, she still remembers that in her previous life, Wei Ling told her that he would only have one wife in this life, because he couldn't be a man in the twilight.
Looking at the smile on Huo Mei's face, Xiaohong thought that this master was stupid, and she could still laugh at this juncture, "Master, as long as you nod, Moxiang Pavilion will set foot in this general's mansion today, and even if the master asks us to burn Weiyang Palace, my subordinates will fight to the death!" ”
"No need!" In a faint tone, Xiaohong couldn't guess Huo Mei's thoughts, in her opinion, this small general's mansion couldn't hold Huo Mei's big Buddha at all, and a small general Wuwei was even less worthy of Huo Mei.
But when she continued to try to persuade Huo Mei, Linglong walked in with a basin, and Xiaohong retreated, looking at Huo Mei with deep eyebrows and silent.
"Miss, you wash your face first, the slave is putting on makeup for you, let's go to the front hall to worship......"
"Take a handkerchief and clean my face, I don't have to wear makeup, who can see my face with a hijab, just go! Lest you miss the time for a while, it's not good to let someone with a heart grab the handle! ”
Seeing that Huo Mei insisted, Xiaohong and Linglong were inconvenient to say anything, carefully tidied up the wedding dress on Huo Mei's body, and helped her out of the cave room.
Wei Ling stood there expressionlessly, and Granny Xi stepped forward and handed the big red silk into the hands of the two people, and then happily took a couple of newcomers to the front hall to worship.
There are not many courtyards in the General's Mansion, and Huo Mei is already familiar here, so she didn't see how strange and scared she was, following behind Wei Ling, smelling the medicinal fragrance wafting from Wei Ling, Huo Mei's heart was even calmer, she understood that this was just the beginning, and there was still a long way to go waiting for her if she wanted to change her fate.
