Chapter 167: The Last Choice
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, evening came.
After most of the busy day, the lobby on the first floor of the white-clothed building has been unrecognizable, looking at the silver guards coming and going, from time to time Luoyang people stop the carriage and look curiously.
When the sunset stained half of the sky red, Liu Jing came out of the white-clothed building.
As soon as she came out of the white-clothed building, she, together with Huo Yan and the others, was also looking back at those busy silver guards.
After looking at it for a while, Liu Jing retracted her gaze. This time she turned her gaze, and met the gaze of Huo Yan and the others.
Liu Jing only glanced at it, then looked away, she squinted at the brilliant glow outside, and suddenly said, "After Jiulang left, did you go to the imperial city?" ”
"No, I didn't."
Liu Jing nodded, she looked at the undulating green hills in the distance, and suddenly said to Huo Yan: "Ah Yan, do you have any thoughts about Yinjiawei and Deng Jiulang's entry into the Baiyi Building?" ”
Huo Yan looked at her.
After hesitating for a while, he lowered his head and said, "Childe can do whatever he wants, Huo Yan will listen to Childe." ”
Speaking of this, a flash of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind to raise his head, he looked at Liu Jing, blushed and said, "...... Even if the son did not get married in the end, Huo Yan would also accompany the son. ”
Liu Jing was stunned, and she looked back at Huo Yan in amazement.
met her gaze, but Huo Yan didn't look away. Looking at this beautiful man who was exceptionally deserted in the sunset, Liu Jing suddenly woke up: he was expressing his affection to himself!
He was actually expressing his affection to himself!
This Huo Yan, who she has always relied on as a helper, is like a brother and a friend. I rejoiced in her!
Liu Jing was shocked, she stayed for a while, although her lips were moving, she couldn't make a sound.
Just when she looked at Huo Yan stupidly, not knowing what to say, suddenly, a familiar gaze stared at her.
Liu Jing turned her head.
This time, she turned around and faced Deng Jiulang, who was standing on the second floor of the restaurant opposite, who was looking at her with his head down.
At this moment, Deng Jiulang's gaze was a little heavy. He stared at Huo Yan for a moment. turned to Liu Jing to star. Seeing that Liu Jing was also focused on himself, his thin lips moved slightly, and he silently ordered her, "Come up!" ”
Liu Jing glanced up at him. The unquestionable resolute look on Deng Jiulang. Liu Jing turned to Huo Yan. She didn't reply to him, but said, "I understand what you mean......" When Huo Yan raised his head, Liu Jing whispered: "You can do it too." Zhang Jing, as well as them, actually don't like me like this...... You can't give it up, you can't break it, you can't forget it, and you can't get it. Yan, you're right, I should be more simply. ”
Speaking of this, she jumped out of the carriage and ordered, "Deng Jiulang is on it, and I will talk to him." With that, she turned and walked towards the restaurant.
After Liu Jing's reminder, Huo Yan saw Deng Jiulang in the restaurant. Two men, one in a restaurant and the other in the street, were no more than 200 steps apart from each other, and their faces and eyes were visible. When Huo Yan quietly looked at Deng Jiulang, Deng Jiulang clasped his hands on his chest and was staring at him indifferently and condescendingly.
After looking at each other for a moment, Liu Jing's figure appeared behind Deng Jiulang.
She also saw Huo Yan, far away, Liu Jing didn't say a word, just bowed her head slightly towards him. As soon as she made this action, Huo Yan immediately nodded, and then he entered the carriage, and then the driver waved the whip, and after a while, the carriage carried Huo Yan away.
…… In the meantime, there was no word to talk, no gesture was made, just a glance and a nod, and the two of them understood each other's thoughts!
Deng Jiulang was stunned in disbelief for a while, and then suddenly turned his head to stare at Liu Jing.
He stared at Liu Jing deeply, his thin lips moved, and after a while, he asked in a dumb voice, "How long have you known him?" ”
Liu Jing was a little strange, she looked at him and replied quietly: "One year and three months." ”
Deng Jiulang smiled, he squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "One year and three months? Even three months, do you remember clearly? ”
Liu Jing looked at him a little strangely, and after a while, she frowned, but replied honestly: "Yes, I always remember well." ”
Deng Jiulang's thin lips tightened more and more, he raised his chin, looked at Liu Jing with deep eyes, and his voice became more and more astringent, "No wonder so many people say that you have a guest in the curtain!" "Who doesn't doubt that the hearts and minds are connected to this point?
As soon as he said this, Liu Jing raised her eyebrows, and she stared at Deng Jiulang with a sinking face. After staring at it for a while, Liu Jing pursed her lips and said softly: "What you say, what is it!" ”
As soon as she said this, Deng Jiulang swooped and clasped her arm!
He held it a little tightly, Liu Jing frowned and said coldly, "You scratched me." ”
Deng Jiulang sneered.
Seeing the anger on his face, Liu Jing was also a little unhappy, she turned her head to look at the clouds in the sky, and put on a posture of not bothering to pay attention to Deng Jiulang.
At this time, her arm loosened, but it was Deng Jiulang who finally let go of her hand.
After Deng Jiulang let go of his hand, he didn't speak for a long time, and Liu Jing couldn't help but turn her head. Only then did she see that he was keeping his head down, silently staring at his outstretched fingers...... That expression is so lonely!
For a moment, a touch of pain flashed in Liu Jing's heart, but in a blink of an eye, he remembered this person's selfishness and conceit, and pulled down his face again.
Leaning on the two-story jade railing, neither of them spoke, but let the golden glow pull the figures of the two into an eternal distance
Lonesome.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Jing's voice finally came, compared to before, her voice was very soft, faintly tired, "Jiulang, do I have a lot of words that I haven't told you?" ”
In the setting sun, she blinked her golden eyelashes, and after muttering for a while, she opened her moist eyes and said in a low voice, "Jiulang, after I designed to escape from your side two years ago, I came to Yangzhou as soon as possible. I took the pile of deeds I got from you, and sold them for more than 10,000 taels of gold. ”
Liu Jing turned her head, in the glow. Her moist eyes looked at Deng Jiulang intently, and when he greeted him, she didn't move away, didn't dodge, but became more and more focused, looking at him quietly.
Just looking at him like this, Liu Jing said in a low voice: "My idea at that time was that I wanted to make the most money in the shortest possible time, and I wanted to build my own foundation." And then. Do something for you and your dearest sister...... Kuro. It took me two years to get to where I am today, and it took me two years to pour my name into the memory of your queen sister. ”
At this, she chuckled. A little tired and a little weak, he said, "Jiulang." Have you and your queen sister ever thought about it? I've done so many things, is it just to be a noble concubine by your side Deng Jiulang? She smiled hoarsely, mocking in her voice. I don't seem to be so cheap yet! ”
After saying this in one breath, Liu Jing leaned on the railing, turned her head and looked at Deng Jiulang intently, and said seriously: "In the morning, I suddenly knew that you would go to the southwest to level the land, maybe the fate of you and me in this life really ended here, my heart was very uncomfortable, I was chasing after you at that time, and I also wanted to ask you if you were going, and then you said no, I was really happy!" ”
Liu Jing, who has always hidden her thoughts deeply, said her thoughts clearly with a decisiveness and clarity that she had never seen before, and Deng Jiulang's expression became a little dignified.
He looked at her for a moment, waiting for her to continue. Perhaps sensing her extra solemnity, the fist he placed next to his leg was unusually stiff.
Leaning on the railing like this, looking at Deng Jiulang intently with his moist, dark eyes, Liu Jing said in a low voice: "Jiulang, because I want you to look at you differently, it took me two years to stand in this position today...... But even at this point, there is still so much distance between me and you. I used to fantasize that your sister, the Queen Mother, would like me and admire me when she saw me. Speaking of this, the corners of her lips raised mockingly, revealing a self-deprecating smile, Liu Jing said again: "I thought later, maybe you see me again, knowing that I am living so well, after such a beautiful situation, you will want to do something to keep me sincerely." ”
At this, she laughed self-deprecatingly again.
Only this time, she smiled and smiled, her eyes were completely wet, and she didn't want the moisture in her eyes to flow down, so Liu Jing turned her head sideways at the remnant sun in the west.
After watching intently for a while, Liu Jing said in a low voice: "That day, after I left the palace, Zhang Jing asked me what I thought about you, and just now, Huo Yan also wanted to ask my heart...... They have unparalleled demeanor and intelligence, as long as they work hard, it is enough to become your Nanyang Deng Jiu's doorman, but they still chose to follow me. People like them follow me, they don't want to see me wandering here, feeling sorry for themselves and wasting their lives. So Jiurou, after thinking about it, I am still ready to spread my heart to you, and at the same time ask you a word. ”
She turned her head, her dark eyes looking at him earnestly, her rosy lips trembling slightly. She looked at Deng Jiulang with an almost difficult, bitter expression, and asked softly, word by word, "Ah Qing, are you willing to marry me?" ”
This sentence came out of Liu Jing's mouth, and it was really a little difficult.
Because it's knowingly asked!
The marriage between him and her was never a question of whether he wanted it or not, it was a question of whether the family behind him, his powerful sister, disagreed.
In other words, she clearly knew that it was impossible for a person like Nanyang Deng Jiu to marry a woman from a background like her. This is an answer that does not need to be asked at all, and is known to all.
But Liu Jing still asked.
In a persecutive attitude, she demanded an answer from him. She left his reply with no choice, only "willing" and "unwilling".
Liu Jing thought, it's time. A woman is born in this world, and her feelings and destiny are not her must choose. She thought that he should give her a good time today, and when he said the word 'unwilling', she immediately completely forgot about him Deng Jiulang and drove him out of her heart completely. She will no longer be lucky, no longer dreamy, no longer expectant. She will remove him from her life!
In this world, there is always such a person, so many things, that you have to give up and learn to forget. That's just an experience that must be on the road to growth, and there is really no need to hold on to it, neither want to forget, but also have no ability to pick it up!
In the glow of the sky, half of Liu Jing's body was rendered by golden light, and the glow dyed her exquisite face, dyed the once vivid face, like a statue painted with gold, with a kind of eternal loneliness. The glow of the sun goldened her hair, her deep eyelashes, and her white robes...... At this moment, Liu Jing carries an eternal loneliness, a bitter coldness, and an indescribable coldness. She looked at Deng Jiulang for a moment, waiting for his verdict, waiting for his denial, waiting for his rejection, waiting for him to make her make up her mind to remove him from the depths of her soul.
No one noticed that Liu Jing, who was holding her hand behind her back, was drawing her white fingers one by one, outlining Deng Qing's handsome eyebrows and eyes, outlining his deep and cold expression, and outlining his long and upright figure...... It seems that since today, when she meets again, she will no longer be warm, so the fingers she hides behind her back are very focused and very careful. It is as if the beauty and longing of the world will come to an end from this moment forever!
After listening to Liu Jing's tirade, Deng Jiulang, who had a calm face and cold eyebrows, looked up at this time and inadvertently saw the despair and high shore in the dark eyes rendered by the glow, so Deng Jiulang was suddenly startled and suddenly sobered up!
