No.56 The wind rises

The matchmaker Gu Siniang came out of Sun's Mansion and went to the ancient mansion to see Su's mother. She said what she said when she arrived at the Sun family, and what the Sun family reacted to, and explained them one by one. When she spoke, she was well-behaved, her eyes looked directly at Su's mother, and she didn't look at it at all. She guessed that the person sitting behind the screen must be the Miss Gu family who caused a sensation in the capital to avenge her brother.

Su's mother diligently invited Mrs. Gu to eat tea and snacks, and said "I'm tired".

At this time, the delicate and pleasing little fish turned out from behind the screen, stuffed a purse into Gu Matchmaker's hand, and said with a smile: "The master said that the matter of changing back Geng Post tomorrow will trouble Gu Matchmaker." ”

Mrs. Gu quietly pinched the purse she was holding, and understood that it was not a copper coin, but a tael or so of broken silver, so she happily responded, and then got up to say goodbye to Su's mother. As we all know, this purse is a little meaning, and the reward after the completion of the matter is given separately.

The reward of one or two pieces of silver is not much for the rich and noble, but it is not much for the poor ancient mansion that is known throughout the capital. Mrs. Gu naturally knew the embarrassment of the ancient mansion, and thought that she would get a reward of four or five hangs, but the reward she got exceeded expectations, which was naturally gratifying. Moreover, this is compared with the wealthy but stingy Sun Mansion, which is stingy and picky, these two pieces of silver are definitely a surprise and even more popular.

As soon as Gu Matchmaker left, Gu Qiang closed the corner door and the back door tightly. The door was not opened at all, so naturally there was no talk of closing it again.

After a short time, two carriages came from outside the closed door of the ancient mansion, and a steward stepped forward to knock on the door, but no one answered. The steward continued to knock, "Open the door, there is a visitor, open the door quickly." ”

They knocked and shouted at the door, attracting the attention of the gatekeepers of the mansion left and right.

There was a small guy who hit the car curtain, Sun Renhuai showed his face, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Lai Caiyu reported: "Master, I don't know what happened in this house, the door is closed, and no one answers the door." ”

Sun Renhuai's gaze fell on the eldest son's face, "You go and knock on the door." ”

Sun Jingdong was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey, walked forward, let the little guy knock on the door, he reported to his home, "Younger Jingdong, bring my sister to your house to visit your aunt, if there is any disturbance, look at Haihan." ”

The door was silent, and still no one answered. Sun Jingdong's face darkened, and Sun Renhuai's face also darkened.

The little servant tirelessly slammed the heavy vermilion lacquered wooden door, and sometimes snapped the iron ring on the door.

Sun Jingdong looked back at Sun Renhuai, Sun Renhuai snorted coldly and threw down the curtain.

The sun rises higher and higher, and the ability of the sun at noon in late summer and early autumn is not lost to the midsummer sun. A few small servants took turns knocking on the door and shouting, their palms were red, their throats were about to smoke, and the door of the ancient mansion was still quiet.

In the second carriage sat Sun Rouyue, the third lady of Sun San, who had been grounded recently. She was impatient to wait, fanned the fan faster and faster, and secretly greeted the eight generations of the ancestors of the ancient family. Her father brought her here today so that she could apologize to Gu Qingshu in person and ask for Gu Qingshu's forgiveness. How could she be willing, but she didn't dare to disobey her father, so she had to come.

Seeing that the ancient mansion had no intention of answering the door, Sun Laicai walked to the carriage and whispered: "Master, the Gu family is afraid that it is deliberately closed to thank guests." The little one inquired, and someone saw Gu Matchmaker go out from here, and then the Gu family closed the door. ”

Sun Renhuai naturally thought of it, "Go home." ”

In this way, the Sun family and his party could only return in vain.

Bu Yuyan, who was peeking at the wall, felt bored, so she asked Xiaoxing to hold the ladder, climb down, and run to find Qingshu. She walked in and said, "Sister Shu, I saw that Sun Jingdong, who is not handsome, but also sissy, speaks in a crepe manner, and can sour people's teeth." It's right to quit this family business. ”

Qing Shu raised his eyes and knocked her with the book in his hand, "Look at your clothes, they are torn again, hurry up and change your clothes, and let Xiaoyu make up for you where they are broken." ”

Bu Yuyan said indifferently: "The skirt was just scratched by a branch, it's not a big deal, you don't need to change it." She snatched the book from Qingshu's hand, "Don't read it, talk to me." ”

There was no book to read, so Qing Shu took a peach from the table and nibbled on it. This is the little apricot brought back from Bufu yesterday, a whole basket, the color is pleasing pink, big, juicy and sweet, with a slight sourness, it is the top grade of peaches.

Bu Yuyan saw it, pouted, hugged one of Qing Shu's arms and shook it, "Sister Shu, I'm not Miss Jiao, I'm very good at raising, and I can still work, take me away!" Good no good? Take me, take me when you go. ”

Qing Shu refused, "Don't, I'll take you away?" Isn't that looking for death? Don't say your grandparents don't agree, and your parents won't agree either. And your seven brothers, any one of them can quietly take the girl's life on the road. ”

Bu Yuyan continued to shake her arm, "No, if I ask my grandfather and grandmother, they will definitely agree." ”

Qing Shu was uncomfortable by her shaking and pushed her away, "Don't even think about it." I warn you that Bu Xiaoba, this girl is a secret to leave Beijing, and no one has told her except you. If you dare to reveal this news before I leave Beijing, it will ruin my business, and I will definitely break off my friendship. ”

Bu Yuyan cried as soon as she could, lying on her back, "But people are reluctant to let you and Xiaoyang go!" You're gone, what are you going to do? ”

There were droplets of water dripping down her back one by one, soaking her skin through the summer dress. Her throat choked, she suddenly lost her appetite, and gently put the half-bitten peach on the table, silent. Although they have known each other for a short time, they have become good sisters without any trouble, naughty together, climbing walls together, riding horses together, and playing together......

Bu Xiaoba was her first friend when she came to the Da'an Dynasty, a friend who made purely and casually without any purpose. Although reluctant, life is like this, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and there is no friend in the world who does not wave goodbye. The fate between people is often short-lived, whether it is relatives or friends, even if they are close, they will parted for various reasons. Then as time passes, the original strong inseparable feelings will fade, will change, and will pass away with the wind.

In the last life, although her life was only twenty-four years, she experienced too many partings. At the age of ten, the death of her grandmother, who doted on her, made her realize for the first time that no matter how close her relatives are, there will be a day when they will leave you. At the age of eleven, her parents divorced, letting her know that even if she is her biological parents, she will not stop looking for another happiness because of you. At the age of eighteen, let her know that even if you are a good friend, you will calculate and use you because there are excellent boys around you who like you.

At the age of twenty-one, she believes in love. At the age of twenty-two, she married the man she loved. At the age of twenty-three, she knows that no matter how hard you try, no matter how good you are, your mother-in-law doesn't like you, and she doesn't need any reason; Stepson hates you and doesn't need any reason. At the age of twenty-four, her love came to an end, and her marriage came to an end, letting her know that love has a time limit, and a man's heart is a distant and vague existence that is out of reach.

Nothing stays the same. Friends can drift apart, husbands and wives can go their separate ways, and blood and family ties can be severed. The fate of people is one by one, and no one seems to accompany you to the end of your life from the moment you meet. I don't know if this kind of thing is human sorrow or happiness, or something else?

Now, Bu Xiaoba is reluctant to part with her, and she is reluctant to part with Bu Xiaoba. A year, two, five or six years from now, will they still be so concerned about each other? Thinking of this, her heart was cold, when did she become so pessimistic? Pessimistic enough to doubt the reason for his life, pessimistic enough to not take a step but predict the loss after taking a step.

Sure enough, did Mo Yunduo hurt her too deeply? However, she said that she didn't resent him, but why couldn't she forget the bored expression when he said, "Let's get a divorce"? At that time, how much she loved him, how much her heart hurt, but she said "yes" without hesitation.

What followed was a whole month of torment and mental torture for her. She didn't know what Mo Yunduo thought, she saw that he kept losing his temper, kept revising the divorce agreement, and tore up the prepared divorce agreement again and again, and she was just silent.

At that time, she was really chilled by the wealthy family who devoured her youthful vitality and her smile, and felt that it didn't matter, no matter what kind of divorce agreement it was, she would sign it without objection. She did, and she signed the divorce agreement no less than ten times, and then the divorce was successful when she signed it for the eleventh time.

"Sister, don't cry." The boy's voice rang softly and timidly in her ears, breaking her sadness that she was stuck in the past. She felt a small hand on her face constantly wiping something, she was stunned for a moment, only to realize that she had burst into tears at some point, and her younger brother Qingyang was sniffing and trying to wipe her tears.

She felt ashamed to cry like this in front of her brother. Grabbed his brother's hand and put it on his face, "Well, my sister doesn't cry." ”

Qingyang, who was sniffing, burst into tears, his two thin arms tightly wrapped around Qing Shu's neck and refused to let go, and his little face was buried on Qing Shu's neck and shoulders.

provoked Qingyang to cry, Qingshu felt very sorry, kept a sitting posture, and hugged his little body, "Good, don't cry, don't cry, it's all my sister's bad, it scares Xiaoyang." My sister knows it's wrong, my sister apologizes, Xiaoyang doesn't cry, okay? ”

Qingyang choked up and asked, "If my sister doesn't leave Xiaoyang, she can't leave Xiaoyang." ”

Qing Shu patted his little back, "Well, my sister has to accompany Xiaoyang to grow up, so that she will not leave Xiaoyang, let alone leave Xiaoyang." ”

Qingyang's cry was a little quieter, but the tears were still falling, "I have to swear." ”

How dare Qing Shu have an opinion, and agreed with kindness, "Well, my sister swears, my sister will grow up with Xiaoyang, and she will not leave Xiaoyang or leave Xiaoyang." "When a person lives, he must look forward, the past cannot be traced, and she should learn to forget it, just like she planned when she got the divorce certificate.

Qingyang finally stopped crying now, but he still hugged Qingshu's neck and didn't let go.

Bu Yuyan was scared enough, no matter how she called Qing Shu just now, Qing Shu silently shed tears as if she had lost her soul, so she shouted and screamed, which alarmed Xiaoyu, Xiaojuan, and Su's mother, but still no one could bring Qing Shu back to her senses. Later, I don't know who shouted to find the young master, and the panicked people went out separately to find someone. The arrival of Qingyang finally recalled Qingshu's sanity, Su's mother was chanting the Bodhisattva's blessing beside her, Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan went out to wash their faces.

Bu Yuyan wiped her face with the back of her hand, slapped Qing Shu's back, and snapped loudly.

Qing Shu groaned in pain, and then glared at the culprit angrily, "It's painful, Bu Xiaoba, are you crazy?" ”

Bu Yuyan crossed her waist and said with a fierce face: "You have no conscience, people are almost frightened, do you know?" What's wrong with hitting you? Isn't it possible? ”

Qing Shu noticed that Bu Yuyan's face was also full of tears, and then saw that Su's mother next to her was still chanting the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so she felt guilty and stammered a little when she spoke, "People, people miss their father, no, can't they?" ”

When something like this happened, Qingyang was really frightened, and followed Qingshu step by step in the next time, and at night he went to Qingshu's bed again, insisting on guarding his sister to sleep. Bu Yuyan is also a good thing, rushing in with the quilt, flying to Qingshu's bed, refusing to go to the guest room to sleep.

Qingshu grinded his teeth, "Step Xiaoba, let me go back to sleep." ”

Bu Yuyan snorted, pulled Qingyang to lie down close to the inside, and then patted the place where only one person was allowed on the edge of the bed, "Come up and sleep, don't be sluggish." ”

Qing Shu rolled her eyes, "Okay, you guys sleep here, I'll sleep in the guest room." ”

Buyu sat up solemnly, "I'll go too." ”

Qingyang was also in a hurry, "Sister, wait for me." ”

Qingshu was depressed, and sent Xiao Yu, Xiao Juan, and Xiao Xing, who were standing at the door at a loss, back to sleep, and then slowly moved to the side of the bed, and suddenly exerted force, and knocked down Bu Yuyan, "Xiaoyang, hold her, let's clean her up today, and see if she dares to grab the bed with us." ”

Bu Yuyan screamed, "Don't." ”

Qingyang joined in with bright eyes, helping Qingshu tickle Bu Yuyan's itchy flesh.

Bu Yuyan struggled and laughed at the same time, tears of laughter came out, and she shouted that Xiaoxing would save her life.

Xiao Xing rushed in to prepare for the protector.

How could Qingshu let her succeed, she shouted with a smile, "Xiaoyu, Xiaojuan, catch her back, dare to be dishonest, clean her up, haha......"

Xiao Juan agreed, and without saying a word, she stopped Xiao Xing, who was about to escape, and laughed. Although Xiaoyu has a calm temperament, because it was Qingshu who spoke, he helped Xiaojuan, and the two of them took Xiao Xingjia, who kept begging for mercy, away.

In the Wenhua Courtyard, it was quiet for a long time before the lights went out.

At the same time, four or five rough-looking men gathered in Vice General Xu's mansion, and they didn't speak, they sat together, and just drank silently.

Not long after, a man wearing a scholar's scarf, a scholar's robe, and a beard with a weak scholarly appearance, under the guidance of the family, paced unhurriedly.

Vice General Xu was the first to notice this person's arrival and asked urgently: "The surname Lu, how is the inquiry?" ”

The others also noticed his arrival and stood up and followed suit.

This person's name is Lu Xuanfang, he is smiling everywhere he goes, and he was Gu Yunhu's best friend and military advisor. Now he has no fixed residence, likes to wander around, and when he has no money, he stops to sit in the teahouse to tell stories or earn some pen fees on behalf of others, and when he has money, he continues to wander around, enjoying himself alone. Seeing everyone's eagerness, he smiled, sat down unhurriedly, and said slowly: "I haven't drunk the wine of the capital for a long time, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it. ”

Someone was anxious, "It's more than thirty people, this sissy style hasn't changed at all, I can't wait to punch you off." ”

The others chimed in.

Vice General Xu shook his head, took a jar of wine from under the table, and put it in front of Lu Xuanfang's eyes with a sonorous sound, "No nonsense, drink." ”

Lu Xuanfang was also not polite, opened the seal of the jar, the smell of wine made his eyes light up, he laughed and shouted good wine, then took a bowl and poured it, with a pride that did not match his scholarly image, drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, and shouted good wine, then cut to the point, "You guys, don't worry about it, the so-called tiger father has no dog, naturally there is some truth." No, it should be a tiger father without a dog girl, haha......"

Vice General Xu said, "What do you know? Those two children have sold Zhuangzi, what will their whole house rely on to make a living in the future? Of course, like everyone else, he only knew that Gu Qingshu and Gu Qingyang had sold the only 100 acres of Zhuangzi, but he didn't know that their sister and brother had also secretly sold the Zhuangzi and the shop occupied by Gu Yunfu.

Lu Xuanfang said: "Individuals have their own fate, and individuals have their own ways of living. Look, that kid is also a noisy person, and he won't lose. Seeing that everyone was glaring at him, he waved his hand, "Okay, if you withdraw from your relatives, you will withdraw from your relatives, how big it is, then the Sun family is not a good home." Moreover, I found some wind from Gu Qiang's side, this dear, not in vain, I heard that he was willing to stop after he had to scavenge a thousand taels of gold from the Sun family. ”

In addition to being surprised, some people are still worried, "Withdrawing from relatives is not good for the reputation of my daughter's family." ”

Vice General Xu was full of joy, "What is not famous, the general doesn't care, and the general's daughter naturally doesn't care." Besides, it was the woman who took the initiative to retire the man, and it was the Sun Mansion whose reputation was damaged. surnamed Lu, tell me, how do you scavenge a thousand taels of gold from the Sun family? ”

Lu Xuanfang spread his hands, "I don't know." Seeing that everyone glared at him again, he said with a smile: "It will be fifteen in a few days, Gu Qiang asked me to speak to you, if you have time, you can choose to go to the East Market at the beginning of the morning to see the excitement, and go to the West Market to see the excitement." ”

Someone asked, "What's the excitement?" ”

Lu Xuanfang picked up the wine jar, "Remember to bring more people, lively, haha......" After that, he hummed an unknown tune and left.

The few people who stayed in place looked at each other, and Vice General Xu sighed for a moment and said, "The incident of falling into the water has been found out." "At the time of the incident, they were all on the battlefield, and after returning to Beijing, they heard about the incident and sent someone to investigate, but because some time had passed since the incident, it took some effort.

Someone immediately yelled, "Who did that?" Lao Tzu cut him. ”

Vice General Xu said in a low voice: "The matter started because of Xi Gongzi, and it was Sun Renhuai's girl who pushed people into the water, called Sun Rouyue." ”

Someone asked, "Which one is Nozomi?" ”

A person with a beard on his face said: "The girl surnamed Sun, hand it over to my wife, you don't have to interfere." ”

On the second day, it was another drizzly day, and Gu Siniang, the matchmaker, came to the ancient mansion early, waiting to go out with Su's mother.

Su's mother has worked herself today, wearing a crimson satin dress made of the bottom of the pressure box, wearing satin embroidered shoes that Xu Wuniang specially drove out yesterday, her hair is neatly combed, her hair is inserted in a chic gold step, and she wears delicate silver earrings on her earlobes. This golden step shake and silver earrings were sent by Qingshu early in the morning. She wore a little blush, and her whole face lit up, and she looked a few years younger.

Su's mother looked at the bronze mirror and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Gu Qiang rarely showed a gentle smile, "It's naturally good-looking." Okay, don't take it, go early and come back early. ”

was praised by the man in her own Mu Ne for saying "naturally good-looking", Su's mother went to the front to find Gu Matchmaker with a smile, and then was praised by Gu Matchmaker, and the two of them sat in a soft sedan waiting outside the door of the mansion and rushed to Sun's house.

People in the industry of matchmakers, all kinds of people have never seen it. After being blasted out by Sun's mansion, Gu Matchmaker sighed. Her sighs are naturally not only for the stupid woman Sun Zhang, but also for the Miss Gu family. An unmarried daughter's family, she did not talk about her own family affairs, and she also calculated the other party's reaction.

came to the door to withdraw from relatives, but asked Su's mother to wear festive red. Not only that, this Su's mother came out of the ancient mansion to the Sun mansion, and she kept laughing and groaning, and she was even more happy with Sun Zhang's family. Anyone can see that the joy of the Gu family about the resignation of relatives has also succeeded in humiliating Sun Zhang's family, making Sun Zhang's family crazy and driving the two of them out like a crazy woman.

The only thing she wondered about was, where did the old man of the Sun family go? She didn't believe that when it came to such a major event as her son's dismissal, how could the master of the Sun family not sit in the mansion and let the stupid woman of the Sun Zhang family come forward to deal with them.

Su's mother came prepared, she naturally knew that Sun Renhuai was stumped by something, and she was kicked out but she was not angry, let the drizzle fall on her, but she still smiled and spoke to the servants of the Sun Mansion who were standing in front of the door of the Sun Mansion and glared angrily, "Hey, tell your lord, don't care about earning gold and silver, but forget to settle down the house." Look, look, yesterday said that today's ancient mansion came to the door to withdraw from the family, and wanted to exchange it for Gengti, but your wife is so rude, insulting the matchmaker, not to say, and I will beat the woman out, which is really not like words. ”

The servant woman of the Sun Mansion shouted to get out. Or people walking with umbrellas, or people passing by by by car, stop curiously.

Mother Su is not afraid of the servants of the Sun Mansion, "It is not easy for your master to be honest, he works hard to support the family, but he loses time to discipline his children." Look, look, your eldest young master obviously has a marriage contract, but in the past few years, he has been in constant contact with other women in an unclear way, even if the woman is married, your eldest young master still runs to that mansion from time to time, he doesn't know how to avoid it, regardless of etiquette, and shows off his talents, tsk, tsk, tsk...... The book of saints has been read into the belly of the dog. ”

The face of the servant woman of the Sun family changed greatly, and she rushed out and shouted "Let you slander the young master", and looked at Mother Su with a fierce face.

With a hula, five or six people dressed as ordinary people rushed up on the side of the road, blocking the servants of the Sun Mansion with their bodies, and scolding the Sun Mansion for bullying the women while colliding, not like words or anything like that
