Chapter 30: Farewell
Xie Sui finally left the Shen Mansion with a reluctant face, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would never set foot here again in the future.
In another place, after Xie Sui left, Shen Nanyan entered the house, opened the box and took out the letter inside, stared at it silently for a long time, and began to think about Xie Sui's words.
"My son-in-law will leave Kyoto in three days and go to the border pass, and he will stay for a long time in the future."
Long stay? Are you not going to go back to Beijing, is it because of her?
No wonder her brother has been running outside the house these days, afraid to see him off, she has not recovered from her illness these days, she has been in the house almost all day, and she has not cared about anything outside.
These days have been as dull as water, and she has tried her best to make herself as cold and cold as before, indifferent to things, and to be that dashing person. But now she found out that as soon as she heard Mu Zhao's story, her heart was completely confused, and her ice-like heart for so many days once again revealed a crack from the inside out.
I don't know if it's her luck or misfortune.
Liking him and being infatuated with him is something that makes her happy, and he is also interested in her, which makes her happy.
But he didn't want to look directly at this feeling, forgot about him, she accepted it, and resolutely said that she didn't have to see each other again in this life. But when he left her, how could she accept it, she could personally say that she had not seen him in this life, and say goodbye to him, but she didn't want him to leave her, leave Kyoto, be far away from home, and don't want to even know about his recent situation in the future.
She thought that Xie Sui said that he might live at the border in the future, she thought it was to scare her, but she didn't expect it to be true, Xie Sui didn't look like lying.
Looking at these treasured letters in the box, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see him anymore, so I could only stay in the Shen Mansion to see things and think about people. Shen Nanyan's heart was sour, and it didn't take long for it to spread to her face, she lowered her eyes slightly, and although the mist sticking to her long eyelashes covered the bloodshot under her eyes, it couldn't hide the mist.
She cried, she actually cried, she didn't cry when she was separated from Mu Zhao, she endured it when she suffered major trauma when she was young, and now she actually cried, crying for the first time in her life.
It is said that a girl can't stop crying and doesn't want to stop anymore, but when she cries, she just sours the corners of her eyes, and the tears in her eyes can't stay in her eye sockets no matter what. The heart is sour and painful, and there is no trace of it on the face.
In addition to the fact that her experience at a young age was a secret, she also had a secret, a secret that she would discover as long as she spent a long time with her.
She has no ability to empathize, she doesn't know what kind of expression sadness is, even if she is really too sad or sad and joyful, at most she just smiles or frowns, and even more often there is almost no expression on her cold and arrogant face, and she doesn't know how to get along with her family and friends, just because she can't experience the same feelings as others.
Now, Mu Zhao has taught her everything, even all the joys, sorrows and sorrows are also given to her, with him, if he dies, he is alive, without him, even if it is better to live than to die, in this case, why don't you go to give him a ride, love will be, hate it, what about right and wrong, anyway, I won't let myself regret it.
The weather was sunny and windless.
The day before the beginning of winter, Mu Zhao had already packed his bags and was ready to go.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at Kyoto, where the prosperous country appeared in his eyes, and he was in a state of prosperity.
He rode in the carriage, the reins in his hand were slowly turned by him, and Shen Nanyan's extremely cold appearance appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but wonder, the girl in his heart was really a very good person. Miss Shen, if there is a fate, let's see you in the next life.
At this moment, a carriage came from the city in the distance, and a woman in a blue dress came down from the carriage, probably in a hurry, her hair was a little messy, and she couldn't help but sweat on her head.
Seeing Shen Nanyan dismount, Mu Zhao was stunned for a while, maintaining his previous posture and looking at her with burning eyes.
"Obviously, I said before that I don't have to see you again in this life, but I still can't suppress the desire in my heart and want to give you a ride." Shen Nanyan lowered his head and smiled.
"Miss Shen doesn't have to be like this, we will meet again because of fate." Mu Zhao put down the reins and got out of the carriage, and said lightly, without seeing any clues. Only the bottom of my heart knows whether I am really so calm.
"If he meets one day, how will I congratulate you?" She didn't answer his question directly, she asked this question with a smile, her face was still blank, and her eyes showed a bit of sadness.
"There won't be another day, Miss Shen." He laughed twice as if self-deprecatingly: "You and I are destined to be like this in this life, I just hope to see each other again in the future." ”
Isn't it just the right to come to Japan? This life is not over, how dare you hope for the next life.
"How dare a heartless person hope for an afterlife? I won't force you, if you want to leave, I respect your choice, but ...... I have been waiting for you, I have been waiting for you in the capital, if the sea withers, the stones disappear, and the sun and moon are not there, I will not wait any longer. ”
Hearing such resolute words, he deeply doubted for the first time whether he had done something wrong, whether he should not hurt the most important person in his life for the sake of those so-called pain, inferiority complex and affection.
His chest trembled slightly, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Shen Nanyan looked at Mu Zhao, who was stunned, and smiled bitterly: What a fool, just for her words, it is really a fool to be unbearable like this for a long time.
Seeing that it was not early, she walked over, wrapped her arms around him, hugged his waist, because she was not tall, just to Mu Zhao's shoulders, she buried her face in his chest, her emotions were uncontrollable, tears fell from her eyes, wetting Mu Zhao's chest.
"Don't forget me when you return."
She cried and said, let yourself not forget her.
She is the most beautiful moonlight in his life, how can he forget it.
Xie Sui had been waiting for a long time on the side, although he couldn't listen to them, the people who practiced martial arts had good ears, and he could still hear them if he didn't deliberately listen.
Listening to them halfway through, I suddenly heard a slight cry, my eyes turned to them, and what I saw was such a scene, the stunning Miss Shen and his son-in-law were hugging, to be precise, Miss Shen was unilaterally holding his son-in-law, and his son-in-law stood in place at a loss, looking at no idea what he was thinking.
He originally thought that Miss Shen was a ruthless person, but in fact he was not. Not long ago, I went to the Shen Mansion to find Miss Shen and told her that his son-in-law was leaving the capital, and he was furious when he saw her indifferent face and said a lot of excessive things. I didn't expect her to come today, and now she is still crying so sadly with his son-in-law there.
Mu Zhao stood like this and let Shen Nanyan hold him, without the slightest movement in his hands.
After a long time, after Shen Nanyan let go of him, he looked at her gently, and there seemed to be the light of stars in his eyes: "Forget me, take care of yourself." ”
Forget about such a humble me, take care of yourself, and be that dashing Shen Nanyan again.
In the twilight, Mu Zhao's back disappeared into the distance, getting farther and farther away.
Fang Cai had already cried, and now he can't cry, but looking at his distant back, the loneliness in his heart grows infinitely.
Twilight took her beloved, leaving only a back. From now on, the people I think of are far away.
…………
Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. The winter of this year was extremely cold, and it seemed to be the coldest year in hundreds of years.
The birds and beasts have basically disappeared, and there is no trace, where is the upright posture of Lamei in the snow, and the branches have long been bent by the wind and snow.
The streets are sparsely populated and the environment is cold. If it weren't for the day of the market, it was rare to see a figure moving around. Even if the lady in the house needs what jewelry head flower for the maid to buy, in general, no one wants to, who is willing to do errands regardless of their lives on such a cold day, although the reward is rich, it has to have a life flower.
Outside, who is willing to go out, even on the day of the market, there are almost few people on the street to catch the market, and when the figure gradually dissipates, the silence resumes again, so quiet that even a green leaf, a crow does not want to stop and stay.
Outside the window, the snowflakes are fluttering, the cold wind is cold, the warm pavilion is warm like spring, the hot water is warm in the stove, the fragrance of tea is wafting, and the fragrance is bursting.
"This year's snow fell earlier than usual, so it's no wonder it's so cold." Red Sakura closed the window to keep the cold wind from blowing in. Said casually.
They are idle as a whole in the winter, and most of the masters in the house are lazy and move in winter, and they are all nested in the blanket for a day, like them, they are even lazy to eat in winter, and most of the time they sit on the couch wrapped in a blanket and read a book, a pot of hot tea on the table is warm there, sniffing the fragrance of tea and reading, and sometimes occasionally looking out of the window, or looking at the letters in her box and bowing their heads and touching for a long time.
There was hot water in the house, and they didn't need to serve it again, and they had nothing to do for the day, either embroidering when they were free, or sitting there in a bunch and chatting. There is a ground dragon in the house, and I don't feel cold when I do manual work.
"This year is the first year we have returned to Beijing, I didn't expect it to be so cold, and let people not have a good year." Ah Ci laughed and complained.
These days, there is a lot less smile in her eyes, and most of the time she looks like she can't give up.
Shen Jinlai has seen her a few times, but the two always can't talk about going together. Once, before she finished speaking, Shen Jin walked away angrily, and when she came back the next day, Ah Ci would not be seeing her.
The two have been coming and going, and they have been in conflict for the past few months, but they are not good. Ah Ci turned out to be such a lively person, because of this incident, there was a lot less smile on his face, and his delicate face was a little smaller.
This matter is so big that even Shen Nanyan, who has always stayed in the courtyard to read poems and paint, also knows about it.
Originally thought that the two of them were just a small fight, but I didn't expect that the two of them have not reconciled until now, she has the heart to advise, every time she asks the reason, Ah Ci dodges her eyes, and is silent there worriedly, she knows that things are not as simple as she thinks, although she has an extraordinary relationship with Ah Ci, but Ah Ci doesn't seem to want to let herself interfere, so they will solve it themselves.
