(Chapter 13) One life and one person in the world
Cen Xi didn't look at me, he focused on the soft light in the cliff valley.
I didn't expect any reaction from him, I just continued, "It's all about 'prosperous, rich and charming, and the future is like the envy of the world', but I haven't lived a day like a fairy. ”
"My mother is not the daughter of a big family, she has no power and no power. In the Hou Mansion, no one will take me and my mother in their eyes. ”
"My ancestors hated my mother, and they hated me. The people in the Hou Mansion hate my mother, and they hate me. ”
"I hate them too."
"If it weren't for the reluctance to give up the power of the Hou Mansion, and I need to be the eldest son of their Hou Mansion, it is estimated that with the means of the ancestors, I would have died a long time ago."
Cen Xi turned his head to look at me.
He still knows something about it.
Back then, Shen Jingzhi, who was the son of the Marquis of Wei Ying's mansion, quietly brought back a gentle and beautiful woman from Jiangnan, and the two got married within a few days, which was quite shocking in the capital for a while.
Who would have thought that this beautiful woman had not conceived and had an heir for many years, and Shen Jingzhi was also hard-hearted, no matter how the old lady put pressure, she just refused to let go and take a concubine.
A few years later, the old marquis died of illness, and Shen Jingzhi inherited the throne. According to the rules of Daqin, all successors to the title must have the next generation of successors, otherwise no one will attack the title, and it will be regarded as voluntarily giving up the title of the next generation.
Just when everyone in the capital was waiting to see the excitement, Mrs. Shen was pregnant.
conceived in October and got a man in one fell swoop.
Cen Xi opened his mouth and asked me, "So, you should be a treasure in their palms, how can anyone dare to bully?" ”
I looked at him amusedly, "Cen Xi, your head is blown stupidly by the mountain wind, right?" If the people in Wei Yinghou's Mansion can treat me and my mother as guests, then where did the second young master of the Hou Mansion who 'moved the capital' come from?"
Cen Xi's eyes showed disdain and disgust.
"Who knows?" He mocked: "I don't know what comes out of the cracks in the stones." ”
"Poof."
I couldn't help but laugh, just laughing and laughing, the curvature of the corners of my mouth faded.
"When I was five years old, my ancestor brought back a woman from outside the Hou Mansion, the daughter of a wealthy merchant who was pregnant."
That night, I went to his study with the 300 copies of the Three Character Classics that my father had ordered me to practice. At the door, I heard the sound of a vase breaking in the study, followed by my mother's broken cry. ”
Mother said, but when you meet your lover, you will live up to it, and you will be a couple in the world. She didn't do it, and neither did her beloved. ”
I laughed, "Do you know why Marquis Shen, who has always been clean, would turn his back on my mother overnight?" ”
Cen Xi put down the hand supporting his head and lay flat instead.
"Because the autumn withers and the spring falls, the flowers wither and the leaves fail."
He described it aptly and subtly.
"Because he is lustful, powerful, and vain." I said directly, "The mountain alliance and the sea oath, this love is unswerving...... Oh, a deceptive thing, even someone would believe it. ”
I think it's funny.
"My father explained that it was the ancestor who secretly drugged him when he was drunk in the restaurant, so he was confused and made a big mistake."
"Your mother believes it?" Cen Xi asked.
I don't know how to answer him.
"Probably believed, or rather, she chose to forgive him."
Compromise, compromise with reality, compromise over and over again.
This is a woman's life.
"Ha, don't you think this looks like a book in the hands of the storyteller in the teahouse? The storyteller folded and said, and the book turned page after page, but they didn't know that this folded play was the same thing. ”
Cen Xi looks at me, and I look at him.
"There's still some water in the water bag, so if you're thirsty, get it." Cen Xi said.
I thought he was going to make some kind of talk, but it was really boring.
I learned from him and lay down too.
"That night, I tore up 300 copies of the Three Character Classic and threw them at the door of the study. The white paper is flying all over the sky, and it looks better than snow. ”
Thinking about it now, I feel sorry for it, after all, it was the result of my practice for a few months.
"After that, I will cause trouble everywhere, look for trouble everywhere, and it is useless for anyone to beat and scold."
"According to your way of living, how did you change your mind, work hard, and strive for self-improvement?" Cen Xi asked me.
Bah!
There's really no sympathy at all.
"Because of a girl."
Cen Xi was surprised: "Huh?"
I glanced at him, "I also promised to marry her in the future." ”
Cen Xi was really blindfolded at this time, he sat up and stared at me.
"It's a kind of appalling joke."
I said to him with a serious face, "It's true. ”
"......" Cen Xi was speechless.
"Once, when I was wandering down the street, I came across a group of ninth-class bastards beating up an old man with gray hair, and I was so angry that I rushed up and got into a scuffle with one of them. At the age of seven or eight, who can I beat? Those people were all thugs in the gambling house, and they were going to kill me, but who would have thought that at this time, the officials came, and those thugs dispersed, and I didn't stay long, and ran away with my injuries. ”
"When I ran into the alley, I was dizzy, I lost a lot of blood, and I fell on a girl who was walking here in a panic."
"We hated each other at first. She was a delicate lady, and when I rubbed some blood on her, she screamed; Of course, I didn't give her a good face, so I shook my head and left, although it was my fault that I hit her first. ”
"Later, during the Shangyuan Festival, I accompanied my mother to the temple to offer incense, and when I came back, it was getting late, so I asked my mother to go back to the house first and walk around by myself."
"As soon as I walked around, I saw her surrounded by a group of thugs."
"I was quite kind at that time, and I saved her."
Cen Xi pursed her lips, "She just made a promise like this?"
I shook my head and sighed softly.
"I said I was going to marry her."
"......" Cen Xi looked at me like a fool.
"Because she saved me too."
My eyes are a little misty.
"We said okay, the red maple is the appointment, the autumn leaves are the letter, and when I grow up, I will go to her."
The valley is beautiful, and the stars in the sky are also beautiful. I looked up at the stars in the sky, and I always felt a different kind of tranquility at this moment.
"Did you go find it?"
"Found."
"Didn't find it?"
"Hmm."
In the vast sea of people, I don't know her name, I don't know her life experience, I don't know what she looks like now, maybe God is really destined to meet again.
"If you find her one day, do you really want to marry her?" Cen Xi asked.
I nodded.
"If the day comes, she is unmarried and has no beloved young man, I will tell her the truth."
"If she can ignore the world, I am willing to accompany her."
Cen Xi stared at my eyes, and for a moment, he smiled mockingly, put his hands behind his head and lay down again.
"What are you laughing at?"
What's so funny.
Cen Xi also looked at the starry sky above his head and was silent for a while, and then he said to me, "Shen Qingzhi, your heart is really indifferent. ”
I was not convinced by what he said, and retorted, "For the sake of the agreement with her, I forgot to sleep and eat, and worked hard day and night, just to let her have a husband who is envied by everyone, how can you say that I am indifferent?"
Cen Xi sneered, "Is it ......?"
But it turns out that the bureau you set up started from that day.
My eyes flickered, and I closed my eyes.
"How long are you going to stay?" Cen Xi suddenly asked.
"What?" I didn't get it.
Cen Xi explained, "How long do you plan to stay in Yuju Mountain?"
I didn't answer.
"The Flying Pigeon Book has arrived, isn't it?"
I nodded, "Morning." ”
Although Cen Xi had expected it, he still couldn't help but persuade him, "It will take a year and a half for your body to recover completely, and now that you are on the road, your body can't bear it at all." ”
I opened my eyes.
"Didn't you receive it too?"
"I ......"
"The emperor's order is hard to disobey, we have been hiding here for half a month......"
Cen Xi had nothing to say.
"Tomorrow, let's go and ask Master Tianyin too much for some wound medicine, your injuries are not healed." I said.
Cen Xi should say, "Hmm." ”
"I have sent a message to Sun Hu, and he will prepare my carriage for the north."
"Hmm."
"Lu Ding also prepared it for you, right?"
"Hmm."
"Sharpen my crutches tomorrow, and I'll walk on my own way down the mountain."
"Okay."
I thought about it, and knew that Cen Xi must have thought it all through, so I didn't say anything more.
I didn't have a topic to ask, and Cen Xi had no questions to answer, so the two of them just lay quietly on the cliff.
The cold autumn wind blows through the sea of jade chrysanthemums in the cliff valley, the gurgling water is shining brightly, the moon cicadas are like thoughts, and the stars are shining.
On the second day, when the morning sun was rising and the clouds were shining, Cen Xi and I stopped and walked back to the temple.
Master Tenyin stood at the entrance of the temple and waited for us, his face calm and his eyes silent.
"Senpai."
Cen Xi bowed to Master Tianyin.
"Senpai."
I followed Cen Xi and also saluted her.
Lady Tenyin seemed to know that we were leaving, and she said to us, "You can take all the medicine from the pharmacy." The mountain roads are winding and dangerous, and there are many wild beasts, so you must not lose your life because of small things. Everything should be taken slowly. ”
Cen Xi said, "Thank you seniors for giving you medicine, we will keep the words of our predecessors in mind." ”
Master Tenyin nodded, his gaze swept over us, and finally stopped on my face, and then turned back to the Buddha Hall.
Cen Xi and I looked at each other, and then went back to the room to pack up our things.
After our last lunch at the temple, Cen Xi and I said hello to Master Tianyin and walked down the mountain.
The mountain road is really not easy to walk, but Cen Xi's crutches are very good, Cen Xi fell no less than three times along the way, but I didn't fall once.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lu Ding and Sun Hu were already waiting there.
Seeing us coming from afar, Sun Hu was the first to run in front of me.
"Xiangye, are you okay?"
I threw the crutches in my hand into Sun Hu's arms and patted my clothes.
"It's fine."
At this time, Lu Ding also followed, he looked Cen Xi up and down, and was very relieved to see that he was fine.
"Your Highness, let's bring more guards in the future, right?"
