No.236 Past (II)

Jingchen smiled desolately, "I believe in Jing Fei, I believe in Zhou Su, and I have always believed it." I told them everything, including that I liked him, that he wanted to marry me. They congratulated me, and they said that I was the first of the three sisters to get married, and they wanted to help me get married. They also told me that I had to follow the etiquette and that I should not see him again before I got married, let alone take a step out of the house. ”

"I let go of my favorite danqing, and I sew and embroider at home every day with joy to concentrate on preparing wedding dresses and other things. Jing Fei took over the purchase with full authority. Zhou Su is the eldest girl by his side, and as a matter of course, he took over the errand of delivering a message for me and him. In the month and a half that I was wholeheartedly waiting to get married, many big things happened outside, and the world was turned upside down outside, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark and didn't know anything. ”

"Maybe someone couldn't stand my stupidity, and threw a ball of paper wrapped in a small stone through the window. At that time, I was the only one in the house, and there was no maid arranged by Jing Fei by my side. I curiously picked up the paper ball and looked at it, only to see that it was written: The eldest princess points Zhouqiao as a colt and will get married tomorrow. ”

"I ...... I don't believe it, I'm going out, but no one opens the door for me. Whether it was the maid or the guard, everyone was silent, and no one answered my questions. Only then did I realize that Jing Fei hadn't appeared in front of me for three days, and so did Zhou Su. Only then did I realize that the maids and guards at home were all Jing Fei's people, and none of them were my confidants. But even if I understood, it was too late, and I fell asleep for a day and a night. ”

"When I woke up, I found that Jing Fei's people had all withdrawn, and my henchmen had returned. When I opened the courtyard door of my home, I saw Zhou Su standing outside the courtyard gate staring at me with hatred. Only then did I know that Zhou Su had always liked him, very much. Zhou Su's wish is to marry him one day. But he fell in love with me and wanted to marry me. Zhou Su couldn't accept it, so he found Jing Fei and wanted Jing Fei to help destroy the good things about me and him unconsciously. Zhou Su and Jing Fei made a deal, and I was stupidly at the mercy of them in the name of waiting to be married and stayed at home for a month and a half. ”

Speaking of this, Jingchen wept silently, covering the position of his heart with a painful face.

It turned out that the paper ball that exposed the lie was thrown by Zhou Su to Jingchen. Zhou Su will be like this because Zhou Su found out that he was deceived by Jing Fei and used by Jing Fei. Jing Fei will destroy the marriage between Jingchen and Zhou Qiao, not for Zhou Su, but to decide to choose Zhou Qiao as a colt. Zhou Su only knew that Jing Fei was about to get married, and the royal family of the quasi-concubine was not disclosed. Therefore, whether it is the courtiers or the people, they are all speculating about which famous family the horse will be.

Zhou Su privately asked Jing Fei who was the colt, but Jing Fei smiled and didn't answer at the time.

Two days before Jing Fei's wedding, Zhou Qiao was drunk, and his love was out of control for a while, so he called Zhou Su to the front and slapped him hard. Only then did Zhou Su know that the mysterious colt that Jing Fei ordered was her master, her favorite Zhou Qiao. At the same time, she also understood that Zhou Qiao had discovered the fact that she was getting in the way.

But the matter has come to this point, and Zhou Su has no power to return to the sky. She was unwilling, she was angry, so she used some means to throw a paper ball into Jingchen the day before the wedding. In fact, she didn't have good intentions, she wanted to use the hand of Jingchen to cause some damage on Jing Fei's wedding day. She wants to take revenge on Jing Fei, and she doesn't allow Jing Fei to rob her of her marriage's happiness. As long as Jingchen makes a big fuss about the wedding banquet, no matter how many means Jing Fei uses, he will not be able to get Zhou Qiao's heart, and he will not be able to get it for the rest of his life. For this, she used all the power she had secretly cultivated to make full preparations for Jingchen to successfully break into the wedding banquet scene.

It's a pity that Jing Fei has already taken precautions. Jing Fei sent people to make an article in the tea that purified the dust. Jingchen slept for a whole day and night, let alone going to the wedding banquet, she couldn't even take a step at home. By the time she woke up, it was a foregone conclusion.

How can Zhou Su not hate? hates Jing Fei's calculations, and hates Jingchen's incompetence even more. In this way, the three sisters turned against each other and became strangers.

The betrayal of the good sister, and the fact that the man he likes has become the husband of the former sister, no matter which one it is, Jingchen can't accept it. She packed her bags and left Beijing.

As for Zhou Su, she continued to stay by Zhou Qiao's side like a nobody, and lived in the eldest princess's mansion with Zhou Qiao, the master.

Besides, Jing Fei, even if she grabbed Zhou Qiao's people, she couldn't get Zhou Qiao's heart. As the eldest princess, she sadly used means to become husband and wife with Zhou Qiao. After that, she became pregnant and gave birth to Zhou Boyan in October.

It wasn't until Zhou Boyan had a smile on Zhou Qiao's face, and he was willing to face Jing Fei with a pleasant face. At this time, their relationship between husband and wife could have been improved, but Zhou Boyan's birth gave them such an opportunity. It's a pity that Jing Fei didn't catch it, but hurt Zhou Qiao again. Zhou Su, who had been holding back for a long time, thought that her opportunity had come, but Zhou Qiao didn't think so and sent her back to Zhou's mansion. Then, Zhou Qiao took Zhou Boyan, who was only one and a half years old, and traveled away from Beijing and did not return to Beijing for several years.

Jing Fei did not stop Zhou Qiao's departure, let alone the son that Zhou Qiao took away. She is in the palace every morning and in the capital in the afternoon, and often does not rest in the princess's mansion at night, and her whereabouts are unknown. Since then, her romantic fame has gradually risen.

Later, Zhou Qiao and Jingchen met by chance in a town in the south, and the two were speechless.

Since then, Jingchen has temporarily changed his itinerary, and has always silently followed Zhou Qiao's father and son at a distance, day after day.

Until one day, the three-and-a-half-year-old Zhou Boyan fell ill. He cried so much that no one could coax him, and Zhou Qiao was helpless.

Jingchen Jing pushed the door in, held Zhou Boyan in his arms and coaxed, and hummed a nursery rhyme to Zhou Boyan. She peeled the apple into the shape of a rabbit and coaxed Zhou Boyan to take medicine; She patted the little Zhou Boyan in her arms and lulled him to sleep.

After that, Jingchen and Zhou Qiao still didn't speak, and their carriage still traveled one after the other across a distance, stopping and walking slowly and leisurely through one place after another.

However, whether it was on the road or staying at the inn, the little Zhou Boyan would often run to play beside Jingchen, and shout about Jingchen one by one. Occasionally, he would lose his temper with his father, and he would run to Jingchen's side to gamble and not come back, and he would not come back when it was dark. If he stayed at the inn, he would sleep on a clean bed; If he was on the road, he would lie on the carriage and sleep on the dust.

After two years, an edict forced Zhou Qiao to return to Beijing.

At that time, Jingchen cried bitterly, and then silently followed the carriage of Zhouqiao, and also chose to return to Beijing. She didn't ask for much, she just wanted to be able to look at him from a distance every now and then.

The world was troubled, she sold the original small yard, bought another small yard, and lifted the pen in her hand, painted the peony again, and also painted the portraits of Zhou Qiao and Zhou Boyan, father and son.

On the first and fifteenth days of each month, Zhou Qiao would always drive the carriage past the gate of the courtyard of Jingchen, put his son down, and watched his son follow Jingchen in. In the evening, Zhou Qiao would drive the carriage over again and pick up his son back. No matter how noisy Jing Fei was, he still insisted on doing so, rain or shine.

A few months later, Zhou Qiao left Beijing again with his son. Jingchen also silently followed behind their father and son. Jingchen felt that she was happy, because she could see Zhou Qiao every day, even if they hadn't spoken for years.

When Zhou Boyan was fourteen years old, they were all in the capital. One night, Zhou Qiao visited Jingchen, and for the first time in many years, he spoke to Jingchen. He told Jingchen to take care of him, and made Jingchen swear that no matter what happened in the future, Jingchen would not be able to kill himself. What's more, he asked Jingchen to leave, and he wanted Jingchen not to return to Beijing again in his lifetime.

Although Jingchen agreed, he stubbornly did not leave the capital immediately. On the second day, when she heard the news that the eldest princess, Zhou Qiao, and Zhou Boyan had left Beijing overnight, she was terrified, because Zhou Qiao did not tell her about it.

Later, something happened at Qixia Pass, and the news of Zhou Qiao's death was transmitted back to the capital. She didn't believe it, and when Jing Fei and Zhou Boyan, who were escorted back, she asked about Zhou Qiao's whereabouts. Zhou Boyan gave her a positive answer. She broke down, tore Jing Fei like a madman, and scratched Jing Fei's face.

After being expelled from the princess's house, she returned to her home, gave freedom to the maid who followed her, and then locked the courtyard door from the inside, locked herself in the house, smashed some paintings, and lit a fire. At this time, she was bent on death, and she didn't want anything else

She thought she was dead, but when she woke up, she found herself lying weakly in the carriage, and it was Zhou Qiao's nurse sitting next to her. She understood. Zhou Qiao didn't worry about her, so he left someone for her, and one of them was still his nurse. In his heart, the nurse is closer than his mother. He was telling her that in his heart, she was as important as the nurse. At the same time, he entrusted the nurse to her, asking her to take care of the nurse and prevent her from committing suicide.

For his trust, she cheered up and took the coachman and the nurse he had arranged for her to live. But the good times didn't last long, Zhou Su and others caught up with them and wanted to take the nurse away. She refused to hand over the nurse to Zhou Su, and Zhou Su let people rob her.

The nurse was angry, pointed at Zhou Su's nose and scolded, scolded Zhou Su for killing Zhou Qiao, and scolded Zhou Su for being as vicious as a snake and scorpion. In short, the nurse scolded for a long time and vowed not to follow Zhou Su. In the middle of pulling and chaos, Zhou Su pushed the nurse hard. The nurse fell, and was stumbling against a boulder in the back of her head. The blood stung Jingchen's heart, she broke free from the restraint, pushed away the stunned Zhou Su, and took the nurse to the doctor with the coachman.

The nurse died, and Jingchen buried the nurse to become a monk, but no nunnery was willing to accept her. After hitting the wall countless times, she didn't want to go to any nunnery anymore, but took the name of pure dust for herself, dressed herself up as a Taoist aunt, and began to practice.

After many years, she still can't become a real Dao aunt, because there are too many things she can't let go.

Zhou Qiao died, and she lost the person she loved. But sometimes she always felt that Zhou Qiao was by her side in a trance, so she looked around and looked around, but there was nothing.

Jing Fei jumped off the cliff and died, Zhou Su also died, she didn't even have a hate. Occasionally, she would think that if one day they suddenly appeared in front of her and said sorry to her, she would forgive them.

Qing Shu helped Jingchen, who was tired, to lie down, "Let's sleep!" If you fall asleep thinking of something happy, you will definitely have a good dream. ”

Jingchen stared at Qing Shu with lonely eyes, "Will you dream of him?" ”

Qing Shu smiled, "Yes." Since "he" is still alive, it is possible for a qiē to happen. "He" didn't dare to let Jingchen know that he was still alive, and he must have some last resort.
