Chapter 169: Those Unforgettable Pasts
Because the funeral was simple, and the relatives were not notified, there were few people who mourned, and most of the people in the village came to kowtow in order to beg for food, Liu Ling didn't care about these, and had already ordered the two people to order pastries at the dim sum shop in the town. There are few people, and Liu Ling actually doesn't have much to do, occasionally guarding in front of the spirit, talking with Sima Zun, and most of the time she still accompanies the child, so that her empty heart has a comfort.
After Yang Xianrong came, Liu Ling's heart was much more settled, and with Su Chen's helper, she finally felt tired in the past few months, and she was relieved to hand over the things before and after to the two, while she closed her eyes and fell asleep deeply. Since Sima Zun became seriously ill, she has not had a moment of peace, and sometimes she will wake up when she sleeps, and quietly put her hand under her husband's nose to see if he is still breathing. During the day, she can accompany him and accompany him, plus the child, she doesn't dare to relax for a moment, and she doesn't feel tired after adapting, until today, the strong sense of exhaustion finally hit, so that she can't hold on anymore.
When he woke up, it was already dark outside, there was no light in the house, and the surroundings were quiet, Liu Ling felt thirsty and wanted to get up to drink a glass of water, but when he moved, the sound of a sheep suddenly came from his side.
"Sister woke up? What do you want? Yang Xianrong's voice was a little ignorant, obviously she had just woken up, she sat up, groped for a long time in her hand and found a fire fold, opened it to blow cold, and with this faint lamp, she glanced at Liu Ling, turned over and got out of bed, and lit the white candle on the table.
Liu Ling got out of bed with him, poured a glass of water and drank it, and then asked, "What time is it?" ”
Yang Xianrong looked outside, and there was a voice from outside: "It's the fourth watch." Yang Xianrong scooped up the clothes hanging on the side and put them on Liu Ling's body, and said: "Sister thinks I'm tired, but I slept heavily this night, and I wanted to wake you up to eat at night, but who knew that I, Su Chen, and the little girl from your family took turns to call, but they didn't wake you up." ”
"I'm tired." Liu Ling said lightly.
"Hungry?" Yang Xianrong asked again: "There are still leftover porridge and side dishes in the kitchen, I'll go and heat it up for you." ”
Liu Ling nodded, and went to the mourning hall slowly, grabbed a handful of incense and threw it into the incense burner, and saw Su Chen napping on the side, so she stepped forward to pat her and asked, "Why are you here?" You've had a busy day during the day, and you should have a good night's rest. ”
"It's okay," Su Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes, smiled, and said, "I slept in the afternoon, and when I saw that those two were tired at night, I stayed for a while." ”
When Liu Ling heard this, he sat down beside Su Chen and said, "You guys are here, I'm slacking off." She looked at Su Chen, in the past two years, she has not changed much, she just tied her hair up and tied it in a bun, and her eyebrows and eyes have become much calmer. I didn't pay much attention to it today, but now I find out, are you married? ”
Su Chen nodded a little shyly and didn't say much. Liu Ling said: "It's hard for you to still follow Rong'er now, it's really reassuring to have you by her side." Then he asked, "I wonder which son has such an honor to marry a good wife like you?" ”
"Uncle Yang." Su Chen replied in a low voice.
Liu Ling was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "You and Rong'er are so fateful. After speaking, he sighed: "I haven't seen you for two years, it seems that I really missed a lot." ”
"I'll tell you later." The sound of a sheep offering her face came from the door, and she slowly approached and said, "The food is all hot, you can go and eat some." ”
Liu Ling was embarrassed to let Su Chen keep a vigil here, insisted that she go back to the house to sleep, and didn't eat anything, and sat there stubbornly, Yang Xianrong couldn't do it, so she had to persuade Su Chen to leave, and she sat down with Liu Ling, saying, "I'll keep it, you go and eat and come back." ”
Liu Ling smiled, didn't offer politeness to the sheep, and happily went back to the house to eat. She was also afraid that Yang Xianrong would be lonely alone, she quickly finished eating and returned to the mourning hall, and saw that Yang Xianrong was changing the lamp, so she also started to work, and when the inside and outside were all right, the two of them sat down and leaned on each other.
"I've been in Qiantang for the past two years." Yang Xianrong said: "Who do you guess I am with?" ”
"Who else can there be, isn't it the sheep family who goes back and forth around you?" Liu Ling sighed: "Sometimes I think you have paid too much for the Yang family, your father wants to revive the Yang family all his life, and this vision is more or less transferred to you, you can't feel it yourself, but I can see that for your family, you are willing to do whatever you want." ”
Yang Xianrong looked at Liu Ling and laughed for a long time, laughing so hard that Liu Ling had goosebumps all over her body, and couldn't help but push her before she said, "Do you know who else?" ”
"Who else?" Liu Ling thought for a while and remembered a person: "And your cheap son, the original prince of the Sima family, is only a few years younger than you, and you can listen to a mother who screams happily." ”
Yang Xianrong patted Liu Ling dissatisfiedly, glanced at her, complained about "boring", and then said, "There is also Brother Yao." ”
Liu Ling paused, sat up straight abruptly, looked at Yang Xianrong, and asked in disbelief, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"Liu Yao, your brother." Yang Xianrong said: "He brought his son Liu Jian to join me, and we have been together for nearly two years. ”
Liu Ling's eyes were red suddenly, she was worried about this brother for a day or two, before she was not married, she could still receive a letter from Liu Yao, and then the letter was less, and then they completely lost contact. Liu Ling didn't know if Liu Yao was still in Goguryeo, and she didn't know how he was doing, she knew that Liu Yao had a child, but that's all. For a while, her thoughts were fluttering, she wanted to ask too many questions, and she didn't know where to start, in a hurry, she slapped the sheep and offered her face: "Then why are you going back to Luoyang?" ”
"He went to Shanxi." Yang Xianrong whispered: "I forced him away and forced him back to your father." ”
Liu Ling knew it, and she couldn't scold Yang Xianrong, that person was her brother, they grew up together since childhood, she knew his ambitions too well, how could Yang Xianrong, who loved him, bear to tie him up and do nothing for a lifetime?
"Silly." Liu Ling sighed.
Yang Xianrong told Liu Ling about the two years as they were, two years doesn't seem to be a long time, but a lot of things have really happened, and even the things that couldn't be told to Liu Ling before can be said now, and the knots between the two sisters have been untied. The two laughed as they talked, cried again as they talked, and after telling each other what had happened in the past two years, it was dawn.
As soon as the two subordinates entered the mourning hall after breakfast, they were a little surprised to see Liu Ling and Yang Xianrong hugging each other with red eyes, and when the two saw someone coming, they had to clean up their mood and go back to the bedroom to continue the unfinished words.
"So you went back to Luoyang for your cheap son?" Liu Ling asked puzzledly: "Then no matter how smart and diligent Sima Tan is, what does it have to do with you?" This Great Jin Dynasty is already a mess, and the gods can't save it, so I don't understand what you're stubborn about? You and Brother Yao have finally been together, but they are separated again because of these worldly things, I really can't understand it. It's a shame that you are still a woman in the Central Plains, and you don't know the truth of marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, so you should choose to go to Shanxi with him. ”
"I can do this, what about my eldest brother and my mother?" Yang Xianrong said helplessly: "They are Jin people in the end, and they can't accept to help the rebels attack the Jin Dynasty." ”
"Rebel ......" Liu Ling muttered the word, this rebel is her father, and her husband is the Jin Dynasty clan, the husband is dead, the son is inseparable from the Jin Dynasty, the good sister is the queen of the Jin Dynasty, and the chaos of the current situation has made the relationship around her a mess. Liu Ling rubbed his temples with a headache and asked, "But do you know what you are facing when you go back to Luoyang?" Is that East Sea King really trustworthy? ”
"I can only rely on him to help Sima Qin ascend to the throne, Sima Tan and Brother Yao have a father-son relationship, maybe only Sima Qin is on the throne, the hatred between the Jin Dynasty and your father can be dissolved, at least one day their father and son will meet, it will not be a life-and-death situation." Yang Xianrong said: "Maybe I still have a little hope, looking forward to one day I can reunite with Brother Yao." Yang Xianrong shook his head: "Don't talk about me, what are your sister's plans in the future?" ”
Liu Ling raised her forehead and shook her head, she hadn't thought about it seriously before, but after listening to Yang Xianrong's words, she found that she was in the same situation as her, Yang Xianrong married the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, but the person who belonged to her was a Hun and a rebellious Huns. And she is a Hun and a family member of the rebels, but she married the clan of the Jin Dynasty and gave birth to a child surnamed Sima. Where to go, she really has no rules.
"If you want me to say, you should go to Shanxi." Yang Xianrong persuaded: "You have no relatives here, Brother Yao and your father have been looking for you, you go over there, they can always take good care of you." ”
"It's good to take care of me, but what about my son?" Liu Ling said irritably: "His surname is Sima again, didn't he take it to Shanxi to be a target to scold people?" Even if he was young and ignorant, those Huns were kind to him, but when he grew up and knew his identity, how should he deal with himself? Do you continue to stay by your grandfather's side and help him fight the Jin people, or do you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors to help the Jin Dynasty attack the mother clan who raised you? ”
Liu Ling's worries were not unreasonable, and Yang Xianrong had nothing to say.
"I'll continue to take Lin Er to live in seclusion here, you don't have to tell others our whereabouts, if someone finds it, I can only change places, hiding may be the best choice." Liu Ling looked at the house where he lived and said: "There is affection for living here for so long, there are no outsiders to disturb me, this time is the happiest day for me and Sima Zun, here are our memories, I am reluctant to leave." ”
Yang Xianrong nodded, as long as Liu Ling had a request, she would meet her.
