Chapter 4: Thick or Light Shadows (17)
Jingyi's every movement, since they had just met, did not escape her eyes.
She had to admit that it was difficult for her to find fault with this young woman.
She cleared her throat and said, "The family is in the middle of the road, and naturally it is not as good as Miss Cheng's Xuanhe." ”
Jing Yi was stunned, thinking that her staring at the ground was misunderstood by Mrs. Dai, and she couldn't help but blush again, and hurriedly said, "Auntie......"
Mrs. Dai's eyes fluttered, and Jing Yi didn't say anything next. She realized that Mrs. Dai didn't want to hear her call herself, and she didn't want to hear her. So she stopped.
Sure enough, Mrs. Dai took a breath and said, "Miss Cheng suddenly came to Dai Zhen today, which made me very surprised. With all due respect, Miss Cheng's words and deeds really don't look like what everyone is doing. ”
Jingyi gritted her teeth.
"Maybe my words are a little ugly. But since Miss Cheng has come to my house, I might as well open the skylight and say something. Miss Cheng came this time, and I can probably guess what it is for. If you guess wrong, Miss Cheng has a lot of people and doesn't care about my wife; If you guess correctly, please listen to my heartfelt words. The beads in Mrs. Dai's hand were slowly twisted between her fingers, as fine as her tone.
Jingyi said, "Please speak." ”
"Meng Yuan was able to be released this time, and I know that it was thanks to Miss Cheng who said good things in front of Lord Lingzun. For this, my Dai family is grateful. Miss Cheng, Meng Yuan is the only son of the late husband, and if he has any accidents, I have no shame to see the late husband and the ancestors. Now, Meng Yuan has safely picked up a life, and I will categorically not allow him to have any more accidents in the future. But there are some things that I want to explain to Miss Cheng. Although Lord Ling Zun does not agree with Miss Cheng, if you have anything to do with Meng Yuan, even me, I don't want Miss Cheng to have anything to do with Meng Yuan again. I heard that Miss Cheng also has a marriage contract, so it's very good. These days, there are a lot of people who have come to Meng Yuan to propose marriage, and I have already fallen in love with a young lady who is the right person, and the marriage will be decided soon. The young lady of this family is still young, so naturally she will wait for Meng Yuan to return from her studies before getting married. Miss Cheng, before Meng Yuan was released, Lord Ling Zun had already sent someone to give up and said that we had reached an agreement, and Meng Yuan was released. I thought that this was good for Meng Yuan, and naturally better for Miss Cheng. In the future, Meng Yuan and Miss Cheng, he will marry another, you don't marry, this step of going out, each has nothing to do with it - it is we who take our single-plank bridge, and Miss Cheng takes your Yangguan Road by herself - I don't know what I said, did Miss Cheng listen to it? I only know that Miss Cheng is knowledgeable and polite, and she must be able to understand my heart as an old woman and a child, and she will not blame me for doing this. In the event of marriage, getting rid of the parents is the master, of course, it is still necessary to be the right person. Take a step back and say, our Dai family and your Cheng family are indeed a few thresholds apart, and we can't climb high. Miss Cheng, that's all I have to say. Please Miss Cheng drink this bowl of tea, please go back. Miss Cheng's kindness to Meng Yuan and the Dai family, I remember the old wife and son, if you can't repay it in this life and this life, you will definitely repay it in the next life. Miss Cheng, please accept my salute. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Dai got up, walked in front of Jingyi in two steps, and was deeply blessed.
Jingyi had already been said by Mrs. Dai's words as if it was thunder rolling in her ears, and when her heart trembled, she saw Mrs. Dai's actions, and hurriedly stood up to help her, who knew that Mrs. Dai looked thin, but this blessing was deep, she couldn't help it, and she didn't dare to pull the elder very hard, she was stunned there, just avoided the front, looked at Mrs. Dai, and said, "Mrs. ......"
Mrs. Dai lowered her head and said, "Miss Cheng, if there is anything that can't stop Miss Cheng, I will take it." Whoever made me have only this one son under my knees, of course, for his safety in advance. Ling Zun promised to send Meng Yuan out of the country, and I believe that he will be able to do it. Please also Miss Cheng not blame me. Meng Yuan, I will naturally persuade him to put the future first. I think he'll say yes to me. ”
"Sit down, ma'am." Jing Yi exerted her strength again.
"Miss Cheng doesn't agree to my request, I won't get up." Mrs. Dai said.
Her thin body bowed deeply, and her head couldn't be lowered.
Jingyi almost saw her mother, and her heart suddenly felt like a knife. But then her thin voice rang out, and it turned out to be "I can't agree to your request." ”
Mrs. Dai did not move.
Jing Yi let go of her hand, she didn't get up, and said to Mrs. Dai: "I hope Meng Yuan is good, I hope he has a good future, and he won't hinder him." Madam, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request. Today, I came at the wrong time...... Jingyi said goodbye to Mrs. ”
Instead, Mrs. Dai grabbed her hand, turned her face to stare at her, and said, "Miss Cheng, I will stop it at all costs." ”
Jingyi pursed her lips tightly.
"For this reason, I will not hesitate to force each other to die." Mrs. Dai said.
Jingyi looked into her eyes.
A pair of eyes that are very similar to Meng Yuan, it should be said that Meng Yuan is very similar to his mother, and even such a ruthless attitude and tone are the same, but she really can't go against her heart...... She choked up and tried to pull her arm from under Mrs. Dai's hand, but Mrs. Dai let go, and she sat on the cold ground all at once.
"As soon as I die, Meng Yuan will not marry you no matter what. If you don't want to go that far, go back and think about what I said today. Miss Cheng, you are a smart person. With Meng Yuan, what will your life be like? Marrying the son of the Tao family, what is your life like? It's not a world apart, it's a thousand miles away. Why do you want to be such a parent? ”
Jingyi turned her face away.
In the open space in front of the main hall, the shadows of the trees swayed.
Isn't there a world of difference? It was a world of difference, and she knew better than anyone that it would be a world of difference...... She sniffed, got up from the ground, straightened her clothes, gave a deep bow in front of Mrs. Dai, said nothing, and turned away.
"Miss Cheng, remember my words today! Don't hurt yourself, and even more harm Meng Yuan! Mrs. Dai's old and hoarse voice chased out, and Jingyi supported the pillar.
She looked up and saw Dai Mengyuan, who was standing there waiting for her across a courtyard, holding back her tears, walking down slowly, and when she walked in front of Dai Mengyuan through the courtyard, she was already smiling, and under the scrutinizing eyes of Dai Mengyuan and Meng Yun, especially Meng Yun, she whispered: "I should go, Meng Yuan." You're going to leave soon, you have to take care of your injuries and recover as soon as possible, otherwise the road will be hard and you will have to walk for more than a month......"
She couldn't go on.
In front of Meng Yun, she can't come by temperament. Although at this time, she really wanted to hold Meng Yuan's hand.
She wanted to cry. Want to talk to him...... None of them wanted her to be with him? Even he has to use all kinds of reasons to get rid of her?
She endured.
Can't say.
Meng Yuan is about to leave soon, does she make him sad when she says this?
"Jingyi?" Dai Mengyuan saw her strangeness, "Did my mother say something?" ”
Jingyi shook her head and said with a smile: "No matter what my aunt says, I can listen to it." I know her heart...... Meng Yuan, then I'll go. It's a long way to go, so take care. We are destined, and we will see you again. ”
Her words, listening to Dai Mengyuan's ears, only felt that her heart began to be empty.
Jing Yi said and turned to look at Meng Yun, but did not speak. This is not Sister Meng Yun who came to Cheng's door that day to beg her to help her younger brother.
Meng Yun pushed Meng Yuan to let him go back, but Meng Yuan insisted on sending Jingyi out.
The car was waiting outside the door, Jingyi got in the car, she opened the window and looked at Meng Yuan, and said, "Go back quickly." ”
"I'll see you leave." Dai Mengyuan said.
Jingyi looked at him and nodded.
Dai Mengyuan said quickly: "Jingyi, in the past, I couldn't live in too many places for you. You...... Let's forget about it. He reached out and grabbed Jingyi's hand.
Jingyi lowered her head, raised her head again, smiled, and said, "Okay." ”
Dai Mengyun urged the driver to drive, the driver glanced at Jingyi, and Jingyi said, "Let's drive." ”
Meng Yuan let go of his hand, the car slowly drove away, Jing Yi leaned out, waved his hand at him, and gradually, the black car took the smiling woman away...... He saw her laughing, but he knew that she must have cried when he couldn't see her.
He turned around and saw his mother standing quietly in front of the door.
The black shadow is printed on the black gray background, heavy, profound, and suffocating.
……
Jingyi turned around, half-knelt on the car seat, and looked at Dai Mengyuan's figure from the back window, gradually getting farther away and blurred...... It wasn't until her knees hurt that she turned back and sat down.
She closed her eyes.
It was as if looking at the whole picture of the Dai family from the air, and the gray mansion swept like clouds and mist in front of him. After a long time, Meng Yuan's appearance appeared in the mist, and everything gradually brightened...... She slowly opened her eyes, took out a notebook from her handbag, unscrewed the pen, and ticked a few letters on the date that had already been listed.
She has been accustomed to English records since a long time ago.
The driver sent her to the back gate of Yenching University, and she was about to arrive far away, but the driver said, "This young lady, the road is closed in front." ”
Jingyi closed the notebook and asked, "What?" Why? ”
