Chapter 369: Heart Knot
However, Lu Shuyi didn't know it, and just smiled and congratulated He Zhao'er.
He Zhao'er was wearing a bright red wedding dress, embroidered with a pattern of many sons and many blessings on the edges, exquisite makeup, and red lips as delicate as roses.
But there was no expression on her face, neither smiling nor crying, as if she was enchanted.
Mrs. He Er squeezed her palms tightly, and her palms were covered with fine and dense sweat.
In order to let He Zhaoer marry into the Zhou family in Yangzhou willingly, she even cried several times in front of He Zhaoer, begging her to marry.
And He Tai also talked with He Zhao'er alone for several hours before she reluctantly agreed to marry into the Zhou family.
However, her current appearance really worries and embarrasses Mrs. He.
The worry is that she is afraid that she will not be able to think about it after she gets married, and she will do stupid things, and the embarrassing thing is that so many relatives and friends have come to see her, but she has always put on a stinky face, and she does not speak or ask anyone.
But whoever has long eyes, just look at her expression and know that she is forced to marry, which makes her face ......
He Zhao'er looked like this, and Mrs. Lu didn't want to stay long, so she only smiled and said, "This girl is about to be someone's new daughter-in-law, and I'm still a little shy when I look at it." Facing Lu Shuyi, she said, "Let's go, there are too many people, and Zhao'er is also nervous." ”
Lu Shuqing didn't dare to look at the bride anymore, and obediently followed the third wife out of the room.
And Lu Shuyi and Lu Shujing followed Wu to the door.
However, before Lu Shuyi walked out of the door, He Zhao'er's voice came from behind her. The voice was very numb, without a trace of emotion, and only said lightly: "Third cousin, can you stay with me?" ”
Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment.
And Mrs. Lu and the others were also stunned, and everyone crowded at the door and turned around to look at He Zhao'er.
He Zhao'er still didn't have any expression on her face, she just looked at Lu Shuyi fixedly, waiting for Lu Shuyi to give her an answer.
The daughter finally spoke, but Second Mrs. He hurriedly walked over and pushed Lu Shuyi, and whispered: "She hasn't said a word since yesterday, and now it's rare for her to speak." Would you like to stay and comfort her? Just pity me......"
There was a faint sadness in Mrs. He's eyes.
She has always treated He Zhao'er as if she were her own. He Zhao'er is also the meat of her heart, and she is not happy or unhappy when she gets married, and she also feels panicked in her heart.
Wu was a little worried about Lu Shuyi's safety.
He Zhao'er's current mental outlook, who knows if she will do anything drastic. When the time comes, it will hurt Lu Shuyi.
So she gently pulled Lu Shuyi through her sleeves. Don't want her to pass.
Lu Shuyi didn't want to go over herself.
She and He Zhao'er actually have nothing to say.
However, Mrs. He took her hand and looked at her pleadingly.
There were so many pairs of eyes in the room looking at her. Even the people who came to see the bride gathered around to join in the fun.
All eyes were on her at once.
He Zhao'er didn't change her gaze, looked at her fixedly, and said, "I'm just a little nervous, and I want you to accompany me." Let's talk, I won't be nervous. ”
She has said everything to this point, if Lu Shuyi still refuses to stay, others may not be able to talk about them.
Lu Shuyi was sure in her heart, and said, "Okay, then I'll accompany you." ”
Mrs. He Er breathed a long sigh of relief.
But Wu felt unsure, and said with a smile: "Then let your eighth cousin stay with you, you can be a companion." ”
He Zhao'er didn't think about it, and replied coldly: "No need, I'm very nervous now, I just want to talk to my third cousin......"
The implication is to let them all go to the flower hall, and she is only alone with Lu Shuyi.
There was silence in the room again, and the second wife was also a little embarrassed.
The day of marriage made such an atmosphere, I am afraid that her daughter is the only one......
She glanced at Lu Shuyi weakly.
Lu Shuyi pinched her fingers and chuckled, "Okay, then I'll stay with you." ”
She beckoned to Mo Ju and motioned for her to stay.
Mo Ju knows kung fu, and she can deal with it in case of emergencies.
Mo Ju understood and stood at the door with his head down.
Lu Shuyi smiled at Wu, although Wu was uneasy, he could barely accept it.
The crowd quickly left.
And Mrs. Zhao, as the aunt who accompanied her new daughter-in-law, should not have left, but He Zhao'er glared at her and said, "Please take care of yourself......
The corners of Mrs. Zhao's mouth twitched, and she got up with anger.
When I left, I didn't forget to take a sneak look at Lu Shuyi again, and I was called a blockage in my heart.
Everyone went out, but only Mo Ju was guarding the door.
He Zhao'er turned her face to look at Lu Shuyi at this time.
Her makeup today is really exquisite, the bright red of the main room makes her bright and moving, but her most beautiful moment, she can't be happy, but also very sad.
She pursed her lips and looked at Lu Shuyi fixedly, she saw her chin from the top of her head, and then saw it from her chin, and looked at it several times before she sneered and said, "It turns out that my brother likes this look......"
The tone seemed to be disdainful, and it seemed to be jealous, and in short, the listener was very uncomfortable.
Lu Shuyi remained silent, still with a faint smile, and did not fight back, but just praised: "You are really beautiful today." ”
He Zhao'er was stunned.
Lu Shuyi still said quietly: "Such beautiful makeup, such a beautiful dress, there is a lack of a good-looking smile, isn't it?" ”
He Zhao'er's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and her cardamom-dyed nails were deeply pinched into her palms.
She snorted, "Are you laughing at me? Laugh at me for finally getting married, right? And you're married to someone I don't like, you're proud, aren't you? ”
Lu Shuyi shook her head with a smile, feeling very funny in her heart.
What is the logic of this?
Is it true that other people's good intentions are ill-intentioned?
She exhaled and said lightly, "I didn't mean to laugh at you. You're living it, it's not me, I'm not going to be a part of it, what's the point of me laughing at you? And you and I don't have any deep hatred for fighting for our lives, if you are not happy, why should I be proud? What's in it for me to be proud? ”
The words were generous, not attacking, but not retreating.
He Zhao'er pursed her lips, her eyes were dazed for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
But she just wasn't reconciled. Why would her brother like Lu Shuyi. And not her?
She is the one who has been with her brother, isn't it worth her brother to like her after so many years of companionship?
She felt unwilling, very unwilling.
"It doesn't matter what you say. I just hate you. If it weren't for you. My brother and I probably wouldn't be what we are today. ”
He Zhao'er's eyes lit up, and she cut Lu Shuyi's body like a knife.
In her opinion, if there is no Lu Shuyi's appearance. Ho Tai will definitely like her.
If her brother likes her, then she will not marry so miserably to Yangzhou, once she arrives in Yangzhou, it will be difficult to come back once in the future, it depends on the face of her husband's family......
If she can't come back, how will she see her brother again?
She felt like a knife in her heart, and her hatred for Lu Shuyi deepened.
Lu Shuyi could only smile bitterly.
She reminded softly: "You keep calling her brother, just by virtue of this, there is no possibility in your life, after all, people in this world are not tolerant enough to the point where brother and sister get married." His eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "But you refuse to recognize this clearly, thinking that someone else is blocking your way, then let me ask you, your mother knows that you like Cousin Tai, why does she refuse to fulfill you, but let you marry far away?" ”
He Zhao'er's face couldn't help but be ugly for a while, she bit her rose-colored lower lip, and competed with Lu Shuyi: "That's because Aunt An's slut hurt me, if it weren't for her, my mother would definitely agree to me to be with my brother." ”
"Are you sure?" Lu Shuyi's voice was calm, without a trace of waves.
She looked at He Zhao'er with a smile.
He Zhao'er seemed very weak-hearted, and only said in a sharp voice: "I...... Of course I'm sure. However, after all, he was not confident enough, and there was no confidence in his eyes.
In fact, she also knew very well in her heart that no matter whether Aunt An harmed her or not, there were too many things between her and He Tai.
He Zhao'er pursed her lips and stared at Lu Shuyi, but there seemed to be thin tears in her eyes.
Lu Shuyi exhaled a long breath and said lightly: "Actually, you know better than me in your heart the many impossibilities between you and Cousin Tai, don't you?" ”
"But you just don't want to accept the reality, you don't want to face this qiē."
"But have you ever thought about it, is your mentality fair to the person who comes to marry you today?"
Lu Shuyi's eyes were calm, and she said with a sigh in her tone: "The man who came to marry you today is the man who is destined to accompany you for a lifetime, and no one else is ......"
After speaking, she got up and stood beside He Zhao'er, raised her hand and gently touched the red wedding dress on her body, and said solemnly: "If you can let go of your obsession, maybe there will be better scenery waiting for you on the road ahead, but if you have been drilling in your own small world and refusing to come out......" She paused slightly, her voice suddenly turned softer, and she said slowly: "Maybe you will never see the most beautiful scenery in your life, and you will not be able to get the happiness you want...... I advise you to think for yourself. ”
He Zhao'er's body stiffened, and her face showed a little confusion.
In fact, during this period of time, she was also struggling and suffering, and she was tormented every day.
Since she found out about Aunt An, she was always worried that He Tai would no longer pay attention to her, but He Tai did not ignore her, but redoubled his concern for her and loved her.
However, she knew in her heart that that kind of care and love was just the protection and love of a person who was an older brother to his sister, and there was no love between men and women.
She had also quietly asked Ho Tai if he would like her if she wasn't his sister, but his answer was no.
He said that he could only treat her as a sister in his life, and if it was beyond the brother-sister relationship, he would never be able to face her again.
After all, she has been playing the role of his sister for more than ten years, and he has become accustomed to her being his sister......
Her brother has been in a bad mood these days, frowning every day and not being happy. After asking the reason, she found out that it was because Lu Shuyi rejected her brother and chose Mr. Bai, so her brother was in pain.
She couldn't understand why Lu Shuyi would refuse her brother as an excellent person? Why choose an old man?
Her brother was sad, she felt annoyed, and the more annoyed she was, the more she hated Lu Shuyi and hated the cherishing she didn't understand.
What she can't get, Lu Shuyi can easily get, but Lu Shuyi doesn't know how to cherish it......
He Zhao'er pinched her fingers and sneered suddenly: "Who are you?" Do you think it's useful for you to persuade me? ”
"Also, you're taking pity on me, aren't you? What I think you can easily get, I beg and beg, but I still can't get ......."
He Zhao'er's eyes were like a knife, she looked up and laughed for a moment, the scalp of the person who heard the laughter was numb, and she was uncomfortable.
Mo Ju was afraid that He Zhao'er would attack Lu Shuyi, so she hurriedly jumped over from the door and said with concern: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
He Zhao'er got up, looked at Mo Ju with a sneer, and said, "Don't worry, I won't attack your young lady, if I attack her, some people may feel sorry for her......"
Lu Shuyi knew that some of the people in He Zhao'er's mouth were referring to He Tai.
She remained silent, and only said to Mo Ju: "You just wait at the door, I'm fine." ”
Mo Ju glanced at her again uneasily, Lu Shuyi nodded at her, and she went to the door worriedly.
There was a lot of people outside, and the children were giggling and making a lot of noise.
However, He Zhao'er's cheeks were as cold as frost, she raised her hand and gently stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, and said slowly: "I only ask you, can you answer me honestly?" ”
Lu Shuyi smiled faintly, and did not express her position clearly, but said lightly: "It depends on your problem, if I can be honest, I will naturally be honest, after all...... The relationship between you and me hasn't reached the point where we have to dig out each other's hearts, have we? ”
He Zhao'er snorted coldly again, and her nasal voice was thick: "This is also true, even if you are self-aware." ”
Glancing at her, she groaned slightly, "I just want to know, what's wrong with my brother?" Why did you abandon him in favor of a bad old man? ”
As soon as she heard the words "bad old man", Lu Shuyi felt funny and warm.
The warmth in her heart, whether it is an old man or a young man, it is the same in her heart.
She smiled extremely gently, like the warm sun in spring, warm. It is like a delicate flower bone, and suddenly it blooms the most beautiful petals, which is beautiful and unforgettable......
He Zhao'er had never seen her smile like this, she secretly sneered in her heart, she was just a bad old man, as for her smiling so gently?
Lu Shuyi ignored the expression on her face, and only said lightly: "This is my business, I don't think I have the need to explain to you." (To be continued......)
