Chapter 52: Encounter in the middle of the night
In the evening, it seems that it is going to rain, the swallows fly low, and the rockery pool is like a fish spitting bubbles, and the water vapor is churning up like beads. Tonight is the last night to stay here, and the seventh girl takes Chunying to the firewood room to visit Lufu. I saw that the maid was pitiful, and pushed the plank bed and installed it at the door of the room. As soon as someone comes, the carp will be able to stand up, and quickly turn over and answer the question. It can be seen that it is suffocated.
The kind words reassured her that she would be released tomorrow and follow on the road. There are Chunying three meals a day to deliver delicious food, and there is no need to be an errand, the firewood room of Lufu is closed, and people are rounded. It's just that he was born to be a lively person, and suddenly he was alone in a room, and he was scared all day and night, but he really learned a lesson.
When I took Chunying to the back garden, I accidentally heard a simple and mellow, soothing and soft music, and I followed the sound and stepped on the moon to the lotus pond water pavilion.
He was there. Jiang Ying stood at the foot of the stone steps, looking at his soapy clothes that were darker than the twilight, and he never felt that the ink color matched him more than at this moment.
In the hazy moonlight, his face was quiet, his eyes were slightly closed, his index finger was played alternately, and what he looked up to puff was a very rare gourd xun.
Xun is a musical instrument with a long history, and the skills have been passed down from mouth to mouth. She suddenly felt that such a musical instrument that carried the essence of Confucianism "He Hegui" was best matched with him.
He is submissive and indifferent, and he is in harmony with Xun's gentleness and complements each other.
Catching a glimpse of her arrival out of the corner of his eye, he blew out a breath of relief, moved Xun away from the corner of his lips, and turned around to greet, "Seventh sister is here." ”
Catching his gaze for a moment, she read some sadness. It's so shallow and faint, and it melts away as soon as the wind blows. Floating into her eyes, she felt a little sour in her heart.
He must have known about the changes in the Zhang family, otherwise, such an open-minded person would not have such **** worries.
"Is it the Zhang family's business?" He has treated her very well all these years. Those interesting things are still being picked up in her peach blossom dock. She is not hard-hearted, and she can't repay his favor, so she can only care occasionally.
He came out of the twilight, silent. Standing on the steps to look at her, much taller than her. Leaned down, the soft color in his eyes was still there.
Touched her head like Jiang Yu, but for a moment, when she was completely unable to react, she quickly withdrew her hand. "Ah Jin, the Zhang family, it's different."
Hearing him sigh, she suddenly wanted to cry. It's different, the Zhang family has changed, and the Jiang family has also changed. The way of the world will eventually change. The past was peaceful, and I don't know if I will see it in the future.
"The Zhang family, there is still the second brother here." She is not a clever person, she is not good at comforting, so she can only express her heart dryly.
"And me?" The man smiled faintly, and the sorrow in his eyes did not disappear. With a flick of his robe, he simply sat down. In this way, she is a cut above her.
"On the eve of leaving home, my father called me to talk. I only said that the burden of the Zhang family in the future will fall on my shoulders alone. At that time, I thought it was just my father's encouragement, and my heart was stirred. Until now, I know how confused I was at that time, and I didn't realize that my father was difficult, and I was really stupid. ”
His biological father is the Inspector Zhang, a well-known beautiful man in Tailong. is a middle-aged person, every time she sees it, the seven girls feel that her style has not diminished, and she has a literati elegance. Now that person should have returned to his hometown to recuperate with a disgraceful charge.
"Master Zhang has great expectations for the second brother. The second brother should live up to his hopes. "In the future, I am afraid that I will become more and more alienated from this person, and when I meet him today, I must persuade him. When people are lonely, someone pulls them so that they don't fall deeper and deeper.
"It's easier said than done." With his hands at his side, he raised his face and sighed at the moon.
God was in response to the occasion, and the silver platter, which had just shown its face, was now surrounded by dark clouds gathering in all directions, leaving only a silver-white border.
With the raised eyes, fortunately, I was close, and I just saw the color in her eyes, so I hooked the corners of my mouth, and I didn't hide my regret in my words.
"In the past, I heard Jiang Yu call you Ah Yu. I always want to be like him in the future, and call you so close every day. I never thought that the first time I called you, it was today's situation. ”
He said it bluntly, and when she heard it in her ears, she was not only slightly uncomfortable, but suddenly felt helpless. His head gradually lowered, and he didn't know how to reply.
She had thought about marrying him. There is no caperation and no rejection. It's like a trickle, just waiting for the water to come to fruition, melodious and melodious, and the days will slip by like that. It's a pity that things have changed, and neither she nor him can withstand the fate.
"I drank some wine when I came, but I was talking nonsense and abrupt you. Just forget what you said. He got up and did not arrange his clothes, but stepped down, and when he came to her, he looked at her most awkwardly, and then turned back, but he was wrong.
"The night was cold, and it was going to rain. The seventh sister went back earlier. Don't break your body again. ”
Seeing that he didn't hold the lamp, he stepped on the clogs like this, and walked away step by step, and the tall and thin figure was suddenly drowned in the night. I only heard the clog clattering on the bluestone slab, and it seemed to knock on my ears in the silent night.
"Miss, the second master of the Zhang family, is a little depressed." Even Chunying could see that the man was not hiding anything.
"It's always better in the future." She felt ashamed, but she was never selfless enough to explain the reason to him. She thinks that she is also despicable, and maybe in the future, there will be more such selfishness and despicability.
"It's late, let's go back." All the way back, neither of them spoke much. Chunying held the lantern and looked back at her from time to time. Passing through the moon cave gate, there are weeping willows on the side of the road, a long path, and the night breeze together, the willow branches ripple in the wind, blowing on the face, and also blocking the way.
Chunying stopped and switched places with her, reached out to block the wicker, and sideways to protect her from being touched.
The gust of wind came unfortunately, whistling in my ears, and bursts of excitement became frenzy. Her master and servant walked slowly. Just as I was listening to Chunying complaining about the huge land, no one pruned the flowers and trees, and saw a candle flame around the corner, far away, floating suddenly. There was a shadow behind him, which frightened the two of them at the same time, and they didn't dare to move under their feet.
"Miss." Chunying is scared, and she will only call people.
The seventh girl was not very bold at night, grabbed her arm, and forced a "um" to fill the scene, which was better than quieting down and making no sound at all.
Jiang Ying stared at the light that was hanging in the air and gradually approaching, thinking wildly in his head, and scared himself. When he was timid, there was a muffled thunder above his head, which shocked the master and servant to break the last string. Hugged in one place, closed his eyes and exclaimed.
"In the middle of the night, what the ghost is called?" After the first sound, Gu Yan scolded in a low voice, raised his hand and slightly picked up the wind lamp, and took a closer look at the two of them.
That's a step forward.
When the seventh girl heard this tone, she was low and deep, slightly stern, very familiar! He suddenly looked up and looked ahead with his eyes narrowed. I saw that the light was raised high, just reflecting the man's distinct outline. The jaw curve is especially beautiful.
"Shizi?" As if seeing a savior, the eyes of the seven girls suddenly brightened and shone brightly. It's especially eye-catching at night.
When he heard this, he remembered the situation, and his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were a little taller.
She was not polite, and dragged the maid, and flicked the branches at one end, and hurried towards him with the other. That look, no matter how you look at it, is like meeting Zhong Kui who is halfway through the road to ward off evil spirits. Rejoice!
