Chapter Thirty-Six: Living Up to Love
"Why is she here?"
"Who knows? His eyes were red, as if he had cried! ”
Xu You pondered for a moment and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to make something delicious, lighter." ”
Dong Zhi was full of hostility towards Zhang Xuanji, and said: "Hmph, Xiaolang is eccentric, I have never heard you cook food for Siniang." ”
Xu You laughed, rubbed her head, and said, "Every time Siniang comes over, you are about to empty the house, and you can't wait to fry me and serve it on the table, do you still need to be ordered?" Besides, people are here as guests, don't slack off, go quickly! ”
The guests will be full of raw parts, and the raw parts will have relatives and relatives, and the winter solstice will be beautiful. Xu You pushed open the door, Zhang Xuanji sat quietly, the curtain fence was removed and placed on the ground beside him, the moonlight came in from the window and shone on his shoulder, half snow and half cold, quiet like an eternal picture.
She didn't look up, her jade hands were folded, her posture was as tall as a crane, and she said in a low voice: "I had a little dispute with my family, and my father drove me out, can I come to Lang Jun's place tonight to spend the night......
Xu You walked over and knelt in front of her. A few steps away, you can see the slightly trembling eyelashes, such as waterfall green silk, Qiong's nose and red lips, the flawless side face skin is like snow, and the faint virgin fragrance enters the nose, but the calm and indifferent in the past seems to melt into the moonlight tonight, and the weakness that has never been seen quietly overflows, making people feel pity and chuckle: "The dignified Zhang girl, is there no place to stay?" It's my pleasure to come and stay! ”
Hearing Xu You's teasing with concern, Zhang Xuanji raised his head, his eyes were extremely gentle, and said: "From tonight onwards, I am no longer a child of the Zhang family of Wujun, and I don't have to be forced by the honor and disgrace of the family, let alone deliberately let my favorite Lang Jun go away in melancholy." I'm just me, an ordinary Jiangdong girl, if Langjun doesn't give up, I am willing to accompany me from now on, as a slave and a maid, for life and for life, this heart will not swerving! ”
Xu You can deduce from these words what Zhang Xuanji has encountered recently, coupled with the fact that the children of the Zhang family did not appear on the rotten stove ship before, the two corroborates it, it is almost certain that she has been under unbearable pressure over the years, and her heart can't help but hurt, and she slowly reached out and hugged her body into her arms, and said softly: "Don't worry, with me, everything will be as before." Ling Zun will agree with us, and there will be no objections within the clan, you are still the daughter of the Zhang family, and you still have the favor of your parents and friends, Xu You will no longer be successful, and you will not let the person you like even have a home because of yourself! ”
He is not sluggish, but he is a fan of the authorities, and his cooperation with Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang has gradually improved over the years, and he subconsciously does not feel that he will have any conflict of interest with Zhang. However, Zhang's family, or Zhang Xuanji's father, Zhang Ji, didn't think so, his hostility towards Xu You was even beyond Xu You's imagination!
Still, as he said, none of this is a problem, it can be solved at all – a perfect solution!
Of course, the premise is that they can all leave Jinling alive!
Zhang Xuanji had such close contact with a man for the first time in his life, but he only had peace and joy in his heart, and he didn't feel shy or strange, as if he had been waiting for this moment since the day he was born. The cold cheeks were pressed against his chest, listening to his words, feeling the sound of his heartbeat vibrating from his ears to his chest, so fitting and so wonderful!
From Qiantang to Wu County, from Wu County to Jinling, from the stone bridge at this time at the end of the world, to the spring water with trees and branches in the mountains, she finally mustered up all the courage, left all the past, walked into Changganli, and walked into Xu You's world!
"Those are not important, the important thing is the last days, I will accompany you, and I will never leave ......"
Zhang Xuanji's thoughts on Xu You did not hide from his family for long, after meeting in the peach forest on the bank of the Chunshui River that day, it reached the ears of Zhang Xuanji's mother, interrogating the two maidservants, knowing that she was tied to a wisp of affection, so he immediately sent someone to Jinling Zhang's father to strictly discipline him. This is also the reason why Xu You waited for three days and did not see the beauty. And in Jinling these years, the scholars gathered, although because of the birthmark on the face, Zhang Xuanji's marriage was not smooth, but after all, some Lang Jun, who had a good background and background, was willing to marry the Zhang family, but Zhang Xuanji was pushed away by various excuses, once or twice, and resigned again and again, causing his parents to be furious, but he didn't want to persecute too much, so year after year, he became the laughing stock of Jinling.
As a Zhongcheng in the imperial history, Zhang Ji was ridiculed by his colleagues because of this matter, and his anger was all recorded on Xu You's head. So when he learned that Xu You had come to Jinling, he sent his henchmen to chase him to Guangling, cut off the inside and outside, and strictly prevent Zhang Xuanji from knowing the news. But who knows what's going on, she still learned that Xu You came to Beijing for the first time, and she didn't even look for "Guangling San", but traveled all night and rushed back to Jinling without any hard work, and didn't even return home, so she went to Cui's Mansion to intercede for Xu You's apprenticeship.
What Zhang Xuanji didn't know was that the reason why Cui Yuanxiu insisted on rejecting Xu You outside the door was not unrelated to Zhang Ji's private confession. It's not that Zhang Ji has any prejudice against Xu You, his appearance, rhetoric, and character are all the best choices, but he shouldn't, he shouldn't, he shouldn't be Xu's fish that slipped through the net, now he has the emperor's protection, it seems safe, once Yan returns to heaven and the prince succeeds to the throne, Xu You may be imprisoned and beheaded one day, and his relatives will definitely be connected.
Gu Lu Zhu Zhang, Wu Jun's fourth surname, don't look at the relationship with Xu You is very good, but it is just a small investment that does not hurt the muscles and bones, just like the venture capital of later generations, optimistic about you, give you some funds, let you develop freely, and receive rich returns if you develop well, if you don't develop well, you should make a friend. If it really comes to the day when you will compete with the imperial power, who will help you with the future of the entire family? So investment is one thing, marriage is another, He Wei tried his best to dissuade Xu You and Zhang Xuanji from coming and going, just because he had foreseen today's results.
The gap between the doors can still be filled, but the balance of interests will never be tilted like the weak!
So, the day after Zhang Xuanji returned to Jinling, he received Zhang Ji's last and most severe warning: if he dared to meet in private and break the thread, he would use the power of Yushitai and the Zhang family to suppress Xu You. At this time of the stormy meeting, you can imagine what kind of trouble the group of mad dogs in the Yushitai who bite people and are about to bite blood will bring to the weak Xu You!
The chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Imperial Historical Doctor, was sometimes set up, sometimes abandoned, and for a long time, the Imperial Historical Zhongcheng was the boss of the Imperial Historical Observatory. And what does Goshidai do? "Book of Nanqi" volume 16 "Hundred Official Chronicles": "Today, Zhongcheng is all observant and dedicated. The crown prince has been released, and those who violate the law in the palace gate will be corrected. Even if it is outside the horse, and the supervisor does not correct it, it can be played. ”
This kind of supervision power is open and legitimate, and the impeachment of lawlessness in the imperial history is more suitable for engaging in some open struggles than the Sili Mansion, and it is really annoying to be iron-hearted and Xu You.
Zhang Xuanji reluctantly agreed, and only asked Cui Yuanxiu to let go, and never met Xu You again. But Zhang Ji is cunning and cunning, and he colluded with Cui Yuanxiu, where is he willing to agree to this condition? It is impossible for Cui Yuanxiu to accept Xu You, won't he be able to cut off the connection between the two forever?
So Zhang Ji only gave Zhang Xuanji five days, and after five days, either he was like a stranger, or Xu You was unlucky; Therefore, even if Zhang Xuanji is late at night, regardless of the etiquette and religion, he has to go to see Cui Yuanxiu, who has just returned home.
Because there's not much time left for her!
But God made a joke on her like this, thinking about it for a long time, but the person who was biased and prejudiced, appeared behind her as if a godsend, and then talked and laughed calmly, defeating him with Cui Yuanxiu's proudest "Shangshu", as for those who were convinced, Zhang Xuanji actually never took it to heart, and they and Xu You have never had any comparison!
Out of Cui's Mansion and standing on the stone bridge, it seems that the repetition of Shangyuan Night, Xu You unexpectedly showed his heart first, in fact, his heart, Zhang Xuanji had already understood through Gu Yun's letters, but he heard him say this face to face, and the joy of that moment almost destroyed the estrangement and strength that she had finally pretended.
After being politely refused, Xu You turned to leave, but the parting poem made Zhang Xuanji, who was hiding behind the door, burst into tears. "Affectionate only has the spring court moon, and it is still a flower falling from others", in fact, it is not only the bright moon that is amorous, but also the daughter's heart that has been unable to be suppressed for a long time in the moonlight!
thought that the two would be separated from each other, but the next day they heard the news of Xu You's assassination, especially after breaking up with her, they were immediately assassinated by assassins. Zhang Xuanji was both worried and blamed himself, if it weren't for her, Xu You would still be hiding in Cui's mansion, how could he be injured? How could it be a loss of life? The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt and almost miserable, but she was grounded by her father, and no matter how much she begged, she refused to agree to let her go to visit Xu You.
In those days, Zhang Xuanji cried blood in his heart, couldn't sleep all night, almost destroyed his bones, and was not in human form. Later, Zhang Ji really couldn't stand it, and frankly told her that after Wen Ruquan's diagnosis, Xu You's vitality was dead, and he only had five months left to live, so he wanted her to completely dispel her thoughts.
In Zhang Ji's opinion, his daughter may be sad, but there is no other thought, as long as Xu You dies and survives a year or two, he will eventually forget these ridiculous feelings. No matter how sad it is, it's better than being tied up with Xu You and being in a different place in the future. This is the father's love, but also the father's mercy, the daughter is not sensible, but the father can never watch her pull the whole family into a situation from which she will never recover. But Zhang Ji underestimated Zhang Xuanji's determination and love for Xu You, for so many years, he has never really understood his daughter's heart.
Zhang Xuanji, who calmed down, found the elders and clansmen of the Zhang family in Beijing, wrote a letter of severance in front of his parents, and severed all relations with the Zhang family, and from then on went their own way and never got involved. At such a point, Zhang Ji was disheartened, and he didn't want to recognize this daughter anymore, so he let her go out of the house alone.
Zhang Xuanji knelt at the door of Zhang's mansion, bowed his head and bowed nine times, and resolutely came to Changganli.
She didn't know if she would be turned away if she broke Xu You's heart that day, and if she came here again, but in any case, even if she was a slave or a maid, she would accompany Xu You to the last journey of her life, and then spend the rest of her life.
But Xu You didn't hesitate, hugged her into his arms, and said the most heart-warming words, and his warm chest was like spring at this moment!
"This ...... Xuanji, I have something to tell you first, you must not blame ......"
Xu You opened his mouth, ready to tell Zhang Xuanji that he was just pretending to be injured, but in fact, it was not a big deal, but before the words could be spoken, Zhang Xuanji stretched out his index finger and gently pressed his mouth.
"I know what you want to say, is it something with Wenjun? You met before me, and you are happy with each other, so you should naturally treat each other well. Don't worry that the two of us will have an argument, if she hadn't accompanied me in Jinling all these years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to help but go to Qiantang to find you......"
"Huh?" Xu You was completely stunned and said, "Do you recognize?" ”
"Didn't Wen Jun tell you? Worship Cui Yuanxiu as a teacher, she originally asked me to go. At that time, you had just defeated Wei Wuji in Xiliutai in Wu County, announcing to the world that you were preparing for the Xuanji Academy and that you were going to write the Five Classics of Justice. In the Five Classics, the "Book of Shang" is the most aggrieved, and if you want to be righteous, you can't avoid Cui Yuanxiu. But Cui Shi's temperament is unknown to outsiders, no one who has lived in Jinling for a long time knows, she knows that I know a little bit of Shangshu, so please ask me to worship Cui Men, study the essence of Cui Xue, if you don't use it, if you can use it, at least don't be too embarrassed. ”
Zhang Xuanji told me that she and Zhan Wenjun are both extremely smart girls, so why don't you know that if you go on like this, you are preparing for two women to serve a husband together. However, at that time, Zhang Xuanji had already had the idea of parting, although she did not tell Zhan Wenjunming, but she was willing to do the last thing for Xu You, otherwise with her heart and knowledge, she would not have to learn from Cui Yuanxiu and endure his strange temper.
"I didn't know about your arrival in Jinling, I was asking for music everywhere in Guangling County, and it was Wenjun who sent Wan Qi to secretly communicate, so I got the news, I wanted to come back to Cui Shi to intercede, but who knew that it hurt you......"
Xu You's head buzzed when he listened, he asked himself if he was not a macho person, but since he was reborn, he has overcome many obstacles and made a living from death, all of which have been exhausted, and he has personally ended up, and rarely asks women to do anything for him. At this time, Fang knew how many things the two of them had done for him silently, although he might not need these things, but how could he not be deeply moved?
"Xuanji, I made you wait for many years, I lost you!"
"Two hearts are happy, only joy, how can they be negative?" Zhang Xuanji rubbed in Xu You's arms like a kitten, suddenly bit his lip, and said, "Xu Lang, actually, I also have something to hide from you, but you are not allowed to be angry with me!" She straightened her waist, covered Xu You's eyes, and said, "You wait for me for a moment, close your eyes, and wait until I say you can open them, okay?" ”
Xu You didn't know what she was going to do, so he nodded obediently, anyway, she was happy, and it was not too late to tell her the truth about the injury later.
About the time of tea, I heard Zhang Xuanji's clear and shy voice sound: "Xu Lang, it's okay......"
Xu You slowly opened his eyes and stayed on the spot for a moment. No amount of Dao heart or god illuminating all things can stop his uncontrollable big mouth and stupid appearance at this moment.
