147 The old man returns

The two were about to leave when they happened to bump into a servant girl.

Xie Jinci is very familiar, this maid is the person from the Boqing Pavilion.

The maid obviously didn't expect to meet them, so she bowed embarrassedly, "Shen Gongzi, Miss Xie." ”

Shen Changfeng glanced at the brocade box in her hand and sneered, "Come and give a gift?" Why didn't I know that Bo Qingguan and the Guo family still had such a friendship? ”

The maid's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't dare to answer.

Xie Jinci tilted his head.

The pure fawn eyes were a little cool, and she said lightly: "Little brother, there is a smell of blood in this brocade box." ”

The maid's face changed drastically, and she was about to bypass them into Guo's mansion, but Shen Changfeng quickly snatched the brocade box.

The brocade box fell to the ground and rolled out a head.

The blood has already coagulated, who is it if it is not Gu Mingyu.

Xie Jinci took half a step back and picked up the letter that landed together.

After a few glances, she sneered, "This letter was written by Sister Jiang to the prince of the Guo family." She said that Gu Mingyu was killed by her little brother...... With Sister Jiang's ability, it is not difficult to know that the little brother will come to Guo's Mansion today. Since she knew, she still sent the head and this letter. What, she wants to borrow the hands of the Guo family to get rid of her little brother? ”

The maidservant bit her lip and was silent.

Xie Jin picked up Gu Mingyu's head with an embroidered handkerchief without changing his face, and put it back in the brocade box along with the letter.

She returned the brocade box to the maidservant, "The people of the Guo family are dead, and Sister Jiang miscalculated." It's better for you to give it back to her. ”

The handmaid took it with trembling hands.

She watched Xie Jinci walk away with Shen Changfeng, only to realize that her legs were very weak.

She knew that the son of the Shen family was not a layman, but what was the origin of this little girl, who could be so calm when she saw her head?!

People of the Shen family,

Are they all monsters?!

Shen Changfeng took Xie Jinci by the hand and slowly turned out of the long alley.

There was a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, galloping from the end of the long street.

It was Lu Jinghuai.

He frowned and shouted in displeasure: "Words! Didn't you say you'd wait for me to come to you? Why did you run away with Shen Changfeng? If I come later, will you forget about me? ”

Before Xie Jinci could speak, Shen Changfeng smiled and said: "It's just in time, you went to the Yamen of Hengyang Mansion for me, and said that something happened to the Boqing Pavilion, and asked Guo Rongqing to personally mobilize the soldiers of the mansion to go over." ”

"Why?!"

Lu Jinghuai bared his teeth.

Shen Changfeng sighed lightly and touched Xie Jinci's little head, "My sister is really well-behaved and cute, I don't know who will be blessed to marry her in the future......"

Lu Jinghuai looked at the cute and ignorant little girl, swallowed his saliva, and went to help Shen Changfeng with his errands.

Shen Changfeng took Xie Jinci by the hand and continued to walk towards the old courtyard.

The little girl whispered, "Little brother, it's not right for you to use me to coax the Lu family's brother." ”

"The master said that a gentleman can deceive him."

"But—"

Shen Changfeng conjured out a string of sugar gourds like a trick and plugged Xie Jinci's small mouth, "Girls, don't learn to nag, like a beautiful woman, how can a man like it?" ”

The little girl gave him an angry look.

When he came to the old courtyard, Shen Changfeng asked Xie Jinci to stay outside obediently, and stepped into the Boqing Pavilion by himself.

On a spring night in the south of the Yangtze River, the moon is full.

The Boqing Pavilion was listed for rest today.

The moonlight was clear, and the small building was quiet.

The young man kicked open the door of the Tianzi Mansion, and the woman with heavy makeup was sitting lazily by the window, combing her lacquered hair with a human bone comb.

She was forty years old, and her cloud-like hair was interspersed with several silver threads, which was particularly eye-catching.

Shen Changfeng walked to her side, hooked a strand of her long hair to play with, and said in a gentle voice: "When my sister cleans her hair, what kind of fragrance does she use, it really smells good." ”

Jiang Wuwu raised his hand to hook the young man's neck, his eyes were like silk, "Tsk, the son actually killed the Guo family and the Zhang Governor's Mansion?" ”

"What do you say?"

"Shen Changfeng, you are a ruthless species, even if I didn't misunderstand you......"

The old beauty, who had been old for a long time, put the delicate human bone comb on the windowsill and sighed softly in the moonlight.

She didn't want to deal with Shen Changfeng, but she had to do that.

Because......

Outside the wooden building, there was a sudden sound of neat and orderly military boots.

It was Guo Rongqing who arrived with thousands of government soldiers.

Shen Changfeng took out the cheap identity deed from his arms, "The person you want to kill, I have brought it for you." This is considered to be filial piety to my sister. ”

Jiang Wuwu was stunned, took the booklet and opened it, and laughed out loud.

She walked to the censer, lifted the lid of the porcelain, lit the booklet and threw it in.

Seeing the tongue of fire devouring the booklet bit by bit, she sighed lightly, "This thing is of no use to me now, it is better to burn it clean and give those women their freedom." I'm afraid I won't be able to open this museum for too long. ”

The woman slowly raised her eyes.

In the dark eyes, a lot of past events flashed.

Twenty-five years ago, she was just reaching her teens.

At that time, she was very young and beautiful.

She worked hard to escape from the cage of the Jiang family, came to Jiangnan, a corner far away from her homeland, and established the Boqing Pavilion to make a living.

could have spent the rest of her life plain and free, but she was damn good and fell in love with a scholar.

It was a handsome reader.

He didn't know that she was the owner of the pavilion, and after seeing one of her dances, he had to pay a lot of money to buy her first night.

But that scholar is pedantic and well-behaved!

That night, he ignored her head-scratching posture and her flirtatious manners, and just stood by the window with the book of sages in his hand, and studied it earnestly under the moonlight.

She asked him if she wasn't beautiful enough.

He blushed and didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

He said she was the cleanest and most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.

He said that he wanted to gain fame, redeem her, and then use the eight-lift sedan chair to marry her as his wife.

Before that, Jiang Wuwu didn't think about marrying anyone.

Leaving the Di Kingdom, the Jiang family will always find her whereabouts, and she will be protected by the family as a royal daughter.

And the Boqing Pavilion will become her safest and most peaceful foothold.

The scholar in the green shirt thought that she didn't believe it, and swore seriously, saying that he would definitely study hard and never disappoint her in the future.

His eyes were so clean, so sincere.

The girl's heart was moved.

That night, it was the full moon.

She took the red rope and cut it in two, and tied it firmly to each other's little fingers as a marriage agreement.

"Guo Rongqing, I, Jiang Wuwu, have never believed in anyone, but tonight, I believe you. I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated...... Your wife can only be me Jiang Wuwu! ”

"Don't worry, if you can, just gaze at the moon by the window. I'll be back on the night of the full moon after the release of the list. You wait for me, and I will definitely come back and marry you!" ”

They put their foreheads against each other and complained to each other.

That year, the spring was warm.

She stood by the window and watched him take the boat to catch the exam.

The scholar in a green shirt stood at the bow of the boat, waving goodbye to her like a silly boy.

"Guo Rongqing, I will take a good look at the bright moon, when the moon is full, please come back!"

She shouted with tears in her eyes.

But,

She guarded the Boqing Pavilion, the moon was full year after year, and the flowers fell year after year, but she never waited for him to return.

She began to lose her temper, she began to hate the reader.

She hates them for being ruthless and cold, she hates them for not keeping their word!

She killed a lot of readers.

However, this did not heal the scars in her heart......

Shen Changfeng didn't know when he stood in front of the window facing the street.

The young man looked back, smiled and raised the red rope in his hand, "Sister, the red rope you are wearing is so special, why don't you give it to me?" ”

Jiang Wuwu raised his head and subconsciously touched his little finger.

The little finger was empty and there was nothing.

The woman suddenly poured out a strong killing intent, "Shen Changfeng, how dare you?!" ”

Shen Changfeng swept out of the window with a smile.

Jiang Wuwu chased out desperately!

Outside the Boqing Pavilion, there are black and oppressive government soldiers.

They drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at Jiang Wuwu.

This woman killed countless scholars and was a wanted criminal in the imperial court.

But the Boqing Pavilion is a special place, as long as the people inside don't come out, the court has no right to intervene.

And now, the wanted one is out......

Feathers and arrows are like a forest, whistling in the sky!

Jiang Wuwu turned a blind eye, just looked at the man standing in the middle of the soldiers in surprise!

Tsing Yi Confucian shirt, honeysuckle is still the same.

Although he was old, she still recognized him at a glance!

Guo Rongqing!

He is Guo Rongqing!

Countless arrows pierced her flesh.

She fell from mid-air.

Tears rolled down her eyes, and she kept her eyes on the man.

Guo Rongqing is also looking at her,

Dumbfounded.

He just heard that there was an abnormality in the Boqing Pavilion, so he brought someone to come, but he didn't expect that he happened to bump into her and came out of the window!

How did she come out?

Why did she come out?!

The arrows were still being fired at the woman.

The man let out a low roar of "worry-free", burst out with unprecedented strength, and rushed over desperately!

He turned his back to the soldiers and held Jiang Wuwu in his arms!

All the arrows, he blocked them with all his might!

Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart,

But that's it.

Blood oozed from the corners of Jiang Wuwu's lips, and he raised his eyes in disbelief to look at the man, "Guo Rongqing...... Guo Rongqing! Why are you lying to me, why are you trying to make me wait twenty-five years?! ”

The man smiled bitterly and raised his severed little finger to show her, "Don't worry, I want to be a prefect, and marry you in a beautiful way......

"However, on the day I returned to my homeland as the chief secretary of Hengyang, I unexpectedly learned that the Guo family had done dirty things!

"Don't worry, I'm a reader of the sages! In his position, seeking his government, I am the head of the government, I am an official, I am a parent official! How can I watch my people being oppressed by profiteers? How can I watch the prefect defend the profiteers and bully the people?! I have no choice but to complain to the Inspector!

"Don't worry, if I marry you, I will not be able to defend my people. If I defend the people, I will not be able to marry you......"

A man in his forties, in front of the three armies, burst into tears.

He has been the chief bookkeeper of Hengyang for twenty-five years, with no wife, no children, no money and no power.

He has helped many people, he is worthy of the world and his heart, but he is only worthy of the woman he loves deeply.

So

He cut off the little finger tied with the red string.

Because he doesn't deserve this woman's love at all!

Jiang Wuwu threw himself into his arms, clutching his shirt tightly with both hands, crying heartbreakingly, and his liver and intestines were broken.

It turns out that he never betrayed their love......

He is Guo Rongqing, the pedantic and rule-abiding reader.

He, or him!

Ten fingers interlocked.

Two red ropes, as if back on their little fingers.

The aging beauty is still stubborn, "Guo Rongqing, I, Jiang Wuwu, have never believed in anyone, but tonight, I believe you." I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated...... Your wife can only be me Jiang Wuwu! ”

The scholar with white temples burst into tears, "Don't worry, the moon is full, I'm back, I'll marry you!" ”

Twenty-five years ago, the moonlight came through the time, and gently fell on their hair, like a white head.

The arrow pierced both of them.

They snuggled up to each other as if they had met for the first time.

Tonight, the full moon will be the same, and the old man will return.

The story of Jiang Wuwu and Guo Rongqing is inspired by the lyrics of Hetu's "Like Flowers", such as flowers waiting for a scholar to come back and marry herself, and waited for a lifetime.
