Chapter 22: The Old Man (2)
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with light wheat skin, thick eyebrows, dark eyes, and a smile when he was not smiling. Handsome and heroic.
Compared with Xu Zheng's Qingjun Sven, this young man is hearty and loves to laugh, which makes people feel good. Several young girls in the mourning hall were secretly paying attention to this young man. Even Ji Yu, whose eyes were above the top, secretly glanced at the young man a few times.
However, Xu Jinyu should never be included among these girls.
Xu Zheng knows his sister best, Xu Jinyu is flexible and gentle and polite, and will never be a with a young man who has just met
Xu Jinyu was still looking at the young man.
Xu Zheng frowned, pulled Xu Jinyu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Sister, who is that person?" Is it the second son of Chen? "Something doesn't seem right about age. Chen Yuanzhao, the second son of Chen, is at least 20 years old this year.
Xu Jinyu retracted his gaze and replied calmly: "He is not Chen Yuanzhao, it is Chen Yuanqing, the third son of Chen." ”
This tone is inevitably too certain.
"You're so sure, haven't you seen their brothers before?" Xu Zheng put away the doubts in his heart and said jokingly.
Of course I've seen it, and it's very familiar.
Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed with a touch of complexity and embarrassment, but he responded: "I have been staying in the Hou Mansion since I arrived in the capital, and I haven't even taken half a step out of the mansion, how can I know the Chen family brothers." However, I heard Cousin Yu say that Chen Yuanzhao led the Divine Guard Army to suppress bandits and quell the chaos in Shandong, but he was not in the capital. This young man is with the eldest son of Chen, and he must be the third son of the second room of the Chen family. ”
Xu Zheng glanced at Xu Jinyu with a smile.
Xu Jinyu was a little weak-hearted: "Big brother, what do you think of me like this?" Am I not right? ”
"There's nothing wrong with what you're saying." Xu Zheng teased in a low voice: "It's just rare for me to see you so interested in a young man, and you even talk more than usual." ”
Xu Jinyu pretended to hang her head timidly, avoiding Xu Zheng's inquiring gaze.
The dusty past hit my heart, and my heart was surging, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time
Back then, Chen Yuanqing fell in love with her at first sight. The simple and lovely boy almost wrote a piece of infatuation on his face, and in order to please her, he didn't know how many stupid things he had done.
It's a pity that at that time, she had already secretly agreed to Ji Zefang and turned a blind eye to Chen Yuanqing's enthusiasm. Later, there was a scandal of losing her virginity before marriage, and she soon married Ji Ze. Chen Yuanqing was sad, but obeyed his mother's arrangement to marry a wife.
In the years that followed, the two met only a few times. Because of each other's identities, Chen Yuanqing has never overpassed. Only when he looked at her, he showed concern.
She was sent to the Grange under house arrest and lived a dark life. Mother He, who was in charge of guarding her, was bitter and mean, sneering every day, and most of the meals delivered were cold, rough and difficult to eat. I was locked up in the house every day, and I didn't have the opportunity to go out and walk around, and when I went out occasionally, there were always a few sturdy mothers-in-law around me. Be extra cautious when you speak.
At only 20 years old, she has already tasted the bitterness and suffering of the world.
She occasionally thinks of Chen Yuanqing, and thinks of the hearty and smiling boy who made a kite to please her. If she hadn't been confused by Ji Ze, if she had married Chen Yuanqing, who loved her wholeheartedly, she would have lived a completely different life!
Unexpectedly, in her lifetime, she would be involved with Chen Yuanqing.
That night, she learned the bad news of Xu Zheng and Zou's deaths. In early summer, he resolutely went to die on her behalf and burned down the grange. The faces burned in early summer were unrecognizable, and the faces could not be distinguished. In order to avoid the guards secretly sent by Ji Ze to search for her whereabouts, she disguised herself as a peasant woman, and she had nothing on her body except for the letter Xu Zheng gave her before she died.
The world is big, but she doesn't know where to hide. After thinking about it, he finally decided to venture back to Bianliang City. The most dangerous places are often the safest places. No matter how ruthless Ji Zexin is, he also has many scruples in the capital. More importantly, Xu Zheng can't die in vain, she must return to the capital if she wants to avenge her brother.
She didn't dare to take the official road, so she kept walking on the path for a whole day and a night. Blood blisters appeared on his feet, and his whole body was tired, and he was supported by a sense of faith.
When she was close to the city gate, she actually met Chen Yuanqing. Chen Yuanqing recognized her at a glance, and his anxious face was full of surprise.
It turned out that after the news of the burning of the Grange reached the capital, Chen Yuanqing was shocked and anxious, and rode to the Grange that night. After seeing the burned Grange, he still did not give up and searched for her whereabouts everywhere.
"Jin Niang, if you trust me, let me go." Chen Yuanqing stared at her softly and eagerly: "Your brother is a henchman of King Qin, and he has been beheaded. You must never show your face lightly again, lest you invite death. ”
The people who really wanted to kill her were her husband and mother-in-law. She is alone, she can hide for a while, but she can't hide for a lifetime.
Xu Jinyu gritted her teeth and hid in the Chen family's carriage.
Chen Yuanqing hid her in a secret mansion. The two-entry house is not big, enough for her to stay. Ji Ze suspected that the faceless corpse in the Grange was not her, and secretly ordered someone to search her whereabouts.
She hid in the courtyard for more than a month, and there was a lot of noise outside, and the people searching for her whereabouts never stopped, but no one found her whereabouts.
In that month or so, Chen Yuanqing secretly went to see her twice. You can only stay for a short time at a time. When he looked at her, his eyes overflowed with tenderness and pity.
"Jin Niang, I know that I don't deserve to say this. Your identity is not visible, and I have a wife, so I can't give you a name. However, I have never forgotten you in my heart. Chen Yuanqing couldn't help but hold her hand: "If you want, you might as well stay here for a long time, I will come to accompany you when I have time." ”
What does that mean? Do you want her to be his outer chamber?
She was so annoyed that she almost didn't want to bother with a cold face.
Chen Yuanqing left in disdain, and did not show up for more than half a month. The people who took care of her and the guards who guarded the house had already received his stern advice, but they did not dare to slack off.
She has a deep hatred of blood, and she has never shown her face for a day. Hiding in the house can't go out half a step, lonely and lonely every day. When she was sad and weak, she also thought about not holding on to anything. With such a new man who loves him by his side, he can always have more warmth.
But every time this thought came to mind, another firm voice sounded in my head.
Xu Jinyu, you hate your husband for being with other women. If you do, what's the difference between you and that despicable woman?
Soon, someone from the house came again. It was not Chen Yuanqing who came, but his cousin Chen Yuanzhao.
The tall and slender young man with a handsome and indifferent face looked at her, his eyes were cold, and his voice was like ice: "Xu Jinyu, Yuan Qing wants to divorce his wife, and he has to resign from the errand of the ministry, saying that he wants to leave the capital alone." This qiē is all because of you! ”
Xu Jinyu looked incredulous. She didn't expect that Chen Yuanqing would be willing to give up all the qiē for her. No matter how cold and hard his heart is, he can't be unmoved in the face of such a fiery emotion.
Chen Yuanzhao ruthlessly interrupted her thoughts: "I will never allow Yuan Qing to ruin my life for a woman like you." I have put him under house arrest, and in a few days, he will be calm and sober. ”
The clay figurines also have a three-point temper. Being looked at with such a contemptuous gaze, and every word was full of contempt and humiliation, Xu Jinyu's pretty face turned pale, and he straightened his waist and replied: "Second son Chen, there is something you mistaken. I am grateful to Chen Sangongzi for his kindness, but I never wanted to seduce him~. He once said that he would always take care of me, but I sternly refused. As for his resignation from his wife and leaving the capital, I don't know anything. Moreover, I still want to avenge my brother, and I have no intention of leaving the capital. You can rest assured! ”
Chen Yuanzhao was not moved at all, and said coldly: "It's best if you can be interesting." Yuan Qing will not come again in the future, this house and manpower are left to you, you can do it yourself. ”
After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left-
