Chapter 136: The First Movement (2) and the Second Shift
Zhen Lin's voice was very soft, as if it would be blown away by the night wind in an instant: "Seventh sister, when I was a child, I always thought that if I got married before I was born, there would be less variables and less expectations. Later, I wanted to turn around, so there was nothing bad about it. ”
Zhen Xuan responded, reached out to hold Zhen Lin's palm, and said warmly: "Before many women get married, it is not easy for them to have a few faces with their husbands, and some have never seen one side before worshipping the church. Compared with that, the fourth sister and Brother Zong Yu are so familiar with each other, and they can be less uneasy when they get married. It's pretty good. ”
When Zhen Xuan said this, Zhen Lin bent her mouth and smiled, and said softly at the end: "What you said is also true, it's better than having a black eye." Then again, Seventh Sister, what are your plans? ”
"Me?" Zhen Xuan replied suspiciously, she didn't expect Zhen Lin to suddenly lead the topic to herself, and she was a little speechless for a while.
If it was usual, Zhen Xuan might have used some excuses to prevaricate the past, but just now Zhen Lin said so much, every sentence was heart-to-heart, I am afraid that I have never said it to others. At this time, if he still shirked Zhen Lin, he would inevitably live up to Zhen Lin's intentions.
Zhen Xuan sniffed, she really didn't know where to start with Lu Dao, sighed, and said, "Fourth sister, it's not that I want to hide it, it's that I really don't know Lu Dao, I don't even know where I'm going in the future." Just saying what I think in my heart, there is only one thing, I hope to be harmonious, but I can't be affectionate and raise my eyebrows, just like a gentleman's friend, I can also be satisfied. ”
Zhen Lin's smile froze when she heard this, she could hear that Zhen Xuan was not lying. But I really think so.
And what Zhen Lin is puzzled about is that even if the boudoir woman refuses to say it, she always has a beautiful yearning for marriage in her heart, thinking of happiness and happiness, and her husband sings with her wife, rather than Zhen Xuan who only wants to get along peacefully. She opened her mouth. sighed: "Seventh sister ......"
Zhen Xuan was unconscious. Lowering his head and thinking about his own affairs, unconsciously, the words overflowed his lips and teeth, with indescribable sadness and helplessness: "Don't be like the second brother and second sister-in-law." ”
The voice is very soft though. But at this time, the night was slightly thick, and there was no sound, and this sentence fell to Zhen Lin's ears word by word. I was bored. Zhen Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Seventh sister, aren't they all like the second brother and second sister-in-law. Look at the eldest brother and sister-in-law......"
Zhen Xuan woke up after Zhen Lin's call, she actually muttered out the things she was most afraid of, hurriedly cleaned up the emotions in her heart, squeezed out a smile, and said: "Well, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are very good, I envy the sister-in-law very much." ”
Zhen Lin did not ignore Zhen Xuan's panic in her eagerness to cover up the past. I wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, and looked at Zhen Xuan's eyes. She suddenly smiled and said, "The two of us are cheeky enough to say this, so that others will know the truth, but we will die of laughter." ”
Zhen Xuan also laughed and said, "It's good that I and the fourth sister know the Tao, and I can't say it to others." ”
Zhen Lin nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "Seventh sister, how is the prince?" ”
Suddenly hearing Zhen Lin mention Yan Mu'an, Zhen Xuan's head buzzed, and she looked at Zhen Lin blankly.
She thought about Yan Mu'an, she liked the quietness and ease, and that's all, could it be that the mood was too straightforward, so that Zhen Lin could see it?
"Why does the fourth sister ask that?" Zhen Xuan asked cautiously with a white face.
The words had already been asked, and Zhen Lin didn't hide it anymore, and said: "Once my grandmother and sixth uncle and grandmother ate too much wine and talked a few words, my grandmother thought that if we could marry directly with the palace, instead of going around it, then our Pei family's foundation in Yongzhou would be more solid." You probably haven't heard anyone talk about it in the court. The emperor has passed middle age, and the princes under him are all older, the emperor has not set up a prince, and the ministers of the court and the central government have their own parties and have their own princes. My father was unwilling to get involved in the battle for the throne too early, and he has always maintained neutrality, but this neutrality is not easy. ”
These things Zhen Xuan is indeed the first time I have heard of it, Yongzhou and the capital are not close, and they have been living in this prosperous town, so they will feel that those court battles are far away, but they have forgotten that the Pei family is a court official, or a big man.
Zhen Xuan took a breath and asked, "How long can this neutrality stand?" ”
Seeing that Zhen Xuan understood what she meant, Zhen Lin nodded slowly and said, "Grandmother said that my father does not seek to have the merit of supporting him, but he is afraid that if he stands in the wrong team, he will harm his family. A family like ours, several generations of court officials, is not a word that can be completely avoided by retreating at the right time. If you can marry them, even if your father has to return to his hometown, we can still have a place to rely on in Yongzhou, and the brothers will have a help when they return to the court in the future. ”
In the face of family interests, it is a matter of course to use the marriage of children as a medium to survive. It is the responsibility of every child of a family to exchange his marriage for the prosperity of the family, and the children of the Pei family will naturally be no exception. Just as Zhen Xuan needs the support of her mother's family if she wants to live better in her husband's family, Zhen Xuan's mother's family also needs her good marriage to add help to the family.
This is the case with the marriage of the family family.
Zhen Xuan lowered her head and pondered, Zhen Lin held her hand and said, "You must know that if you want to become a princess, you must be a concubine. For the family, no matter which concubine you are, it is only because you have a lot of dealings with the palace that you are put in the first place. Except that I have a marriage contract, the eighth sister can't speak, the third sister, the fifth sister, the sixth sister, and you are all okay. That's what Uncle and Grandmother mean the same thing that day, if you don't want to, then there are people else to choose, and she won't force you. But if you really have a relationship with the prince, you should grasp it yourself. ”
There was a faint fog in front of him, Zhen Xuan blinked, trying to digest what Zhen Lin said.
Zhen Lin will say these words because she cares about her, and her grandmother also loves herself, even if it is for the interests of the family, she hopes that she can have a good future, and they treat themselves really well.
Zhen Xuan pursed her lips to calm her breath and said, "Fourth sister, I'll think about it." It's just that this marriage is a major event, and there are actually very few things we women can do, not to mention that the other party is a clan relative. ”
This is not self-indulgence, but a fact.
Zhen Lin also sighed, what can a woman do? It is impossible for them to learn from Su Manyue to do that kind of thing.
The other party is the son of the world, and the Pei family can't come to the door to say goodbye with a cheeky face, so they can only wait for the other party to talk. And the palace is not indispensable to the Pei family, they have too many choices.
Zhen Xuan raised the corners of her mouth, relaxed her tone, and said to Zhen Lin: "Fourth sister, since I didn't say that I can work hard, let's not talk about it now." You tell me about Brother Zong Yu, in the past three years, have you been in touch? ”
Zhen Xuan asked, Zhen Lin's ears turned red, and her smile was a little shy.
In the past three years, I have occasionally received letters from Cheng Zongyu, and when I opened the envelope, it was a thick stack of letter paper.
The content of the letter varies, sometimes it is a trivial matter at home, sometimes it is an anecdote in the city, and sometimes it recalls the days in Yongzhou. Every time Zhen Lin reads it, she will reply to one, and the content is also sent as she likes.
Between the lines, although there was no childlike affection, she unconsciously brought her mind closer, Zhen Lin was like this, and she thought that Cheng Zongyu should be like this.
Occasionally, there will be some things in the letter, a red maple leaf, a smooth stone, those things are well collected, and when you take them out, you can smile heartily.
Once after writing a reply letter and drying it, I suddenly realized that my words were inadvertently similar to Cheng Zongyu's words.
Zhen Lin thought about it, Zhen Xuan couldn't bear to disturb, looked up at the bright full moon in the sky, although the moonlight was cold, it could also be mottled, and in the haze, there was a smell of its own.
Zhen Xuan thought of Yan Mu'an like this, in the pavilion that night, the other party's face was hazy under the moonlight, and he only remembered that the leaf was placed between his lips, and the brisk and jumping minor tune came around the beam, even if it was so long, he could hum it.
What Yan Mu'an thought at that time, Zhen Xuan had no way of knowing, and her thoughts were still haunting her heart, quiet, comfortable, and could leave all the unhappy behind, leaving only peace.
That was the first time she knew that it wasn't just one person, it turned out that two people could be so peaceful.
There is no superfluous dialogue, just the blowing leaf tune, which has a reassuring amount of power and drags her out of her depressed mood.
She remembered that Yan Mu'an had been playing the lantern for her, always a few steps in front of her, leaning sideways and being careful not to block the light, so careful, if she was not moved, it would be a lie.
The night breeze was blowing, and the corners of his clothes were already stained with cold dew, but he didn't realize it.
Those past scenes came to her mind, and a voice was telling her, if it was Yan Mu'an, there seemed to be nothing bad.
It's just that, just like Zhen Xuan told Zhen Lin, in this matter, she is passive, it all depends on Yan Mu'an and what the palace plans.
Zhen Lin was a little embarrassed when she came back to her senses, but it could be seen that Zhen Xuan was also in a fugue, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Zhen Xuan heard the laughter, Mu Ran turned his head to look at Zhen Lin, Zhen Lin raised his hand and lightly tapped Zhen Xuan's forehead, and said with a smile: "The night is getting deep, and if you don't leave, Qingrong Hall will be locked." You know these words, I know, if you say it, I want you to look good! ”
Zhen Xuan also smiled, nodded at Zhen Lin with crooked eyebrows, called Hualu and Tao Aya, who were waiting in the distance, and said, "Then the fourth sister, I'll go back." ”
There was no carriage prepared, Zhen Xuan held Tao Aya's hand and walked all the way to Qing'an Hall, there were lanterns shining, the moonlight was clear today, and it was the road that I was used to walking on weekdays, and there was nothing uneasy.
