Chapter 159: Let's Be Together
Seeing him like this, Xue Qing asked solemnly, "You really want to marry me so much, won't you regret it?" ”
Long Yuheng knelt down on one knee, raised his right hand and said, "I swear, I, Long Yuheng, am willing to marry my sister and never regret it." If you fail your sister in the future, you will definitely have ten thousand arrows through your heart, and you will not be able to die well! ”
"Enough!" Xue Qing shouted, hearing the word oath, she inexplicably felt a burst of fear. I remember that in that border town, Ice Flame once swore an oath. Later, all the vows were fulfilled one by one, and she was left alone with many obstacles, but in the end, she was left alone and sad.
Seeing that she showed a sad look again, Long Yuheng knelt two steps forward, hugged her calves, and rubbed his head on her knees: "Sister......" The words revealed a strong attachment.
Seeing him like this, Xue Qing's heart really softened, and she reached out and stroked his hair: "It's not so easy to redeem me, I signed a death deed." You go back first, don't come back to this kind of place again. When the time comes, I'll leave here to find you. ”
"Sister, I am now a dart leader in the Renfeng Dart Bureau, and the bureau master treats me very well."
"Hmm." Xue Qing nodded.
"Sister, how long will it take for you to leave here, what if I want to see you?"
"Three months to go. If you want to see me, leave me a book, and we'll meet outside. ”
"But ......"
"What, disobedient again?"
"Obedient, I will listen to my daughter-in-law!" Seeing Xue Qing glaring at him, Long Yuheng changed his words again, "I listen to my sister!" ”
He actually wanted to say, I want to see you all the time, but he also understands the truth of accepting it when he sees it. Anyway, this trip was full of harvest, and he could see that his sister had softened. He believed that before long, he would be the one who had a daughter-in-law, and this daughter-in-law was still the fairy sister he had been thinking about for a long time. Ren Dart, that kid, go back and thank him.
Two days later, Long Yuheng received a message from Xueqing, and the next day, he rode a horse to meet in the Shili Pavilion outside the West City Gate.
He was immediately excited, he couldn't sleep, he woke up before dawn, and waited there early, but Xue Qing arrived almost a moment.
"Sister!" Long Yuheng greeted him. He found that his sister was dressed very plainly today.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." Xue Qing turned the horse's head directly as she said and ran in the other direction, and Long Yuheng hurriedly followed.
Xueqing came to the village where Xu Ruojuan lived, she became the top brand of Yicui Pavilion so far, she received a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and the savings in her hand could buy a yard in Kundu County, but she didn't want her mother to know that she was the Oiran of Yicui Pavilion, so she still let her mother live in the village. The villagers are simple, the neighbors are kind, and Xue Qing is also very relieved.
She had thought before that when she stayed in Yicui Pavilion for two years, she would have enough silver taels to support her mother for a lifetime, and then she would take her mother back to Yizhou Town, buy back the yard she had sold before, and live a clean life for a few years.
"Mother, I'm back!" When she was about to arrive at the door, Xue Qing immediately put on a smile.
Mother? Didn't my sister's mother die a long time ago? Although Long Yuheng didn't understand, he didn't make a sound, just watched silently.
He knew his sister too well, and if he ruined her business by talking nonsense, his previous efforts would be in vain. From the moment he understood his mind, he knew that even if he could be with his sister, the two of them would not raise their eyebrows like ordinary couples.
From the first time they met, the two were not equal, he lost his heart first, and he was destined to be the one who paid more. Even so, he was as happy as he could, he just liked her hopelessly, whether she was good or bad.
"You kid, why did you run back again!" Xu Ruojuan's reproachful words were doting, "You are always so lazy, beware of the owner resigning you!" ”
Xue Qing stepped forward and grabbed Xu Ruojuan: "Mother, didn't I tell you, our Dong family is fine." The two young ladies had to go with their wives to incense on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and the proprietor allowed me to come back to see my mother. ”
Xu Ruojuan patted her hand: "Mother is not afraid that you will be tired. ”
"Come back to see how tired my mother is, and besides, I still have to send medicine to my mother." Xu Ruojuan's eyes had regained her sight half a year ago, although her vision was slightly blurry, it was no big deal.
"Okay, you sit down first, and my mother will cook for you and cook your favorite eight-treasure rice." Xu Ruojuan walked to the door, but saw Long Yuheng standing, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"This ...... This...... Qing'er, I'm not dreaming! Xu Ruojuan's tears flowed down as she spoke, and she stepped forward a few steps forward and looked at Long Yuheng in a daze, "Ice Flame...... Are you here to see your mother...... No...... That's impossible...... This...... This ......"
Long Yuheng stood there at a loss, waiting for Xue Qing's instructions.
Xue Qing stepped forward to support Xu Ruojuan: "Mother, he ...... Not Ice Flame. He is Yuheng, and I saved him on the road. I saw that he was very similar to Bingyan, so I brought him to see my mother. If the mother thinks that he is an ice flame, then he is an ice flame. "Strange books
Xu Ruojuan is not Huangfu Zongyi, although her eyes are not good, she is very sober, so Xueqing chose to tell the truth.
After hearing this, Xu Ruojuan wiped away her tears and muttered, "Like ...... It's really like ......" realized that he was rude, and apologized, "This little brother, don't blame, I ......"
Long Yuheng understood what Xue Qing meant, and without waiting for her to finish, he called obediently: "Mother......"
"This ......" Xu Ruojuan's tears couldn't help rolling down again, and then nodded and said, "Okay, good boy, you sit down first, and my mother will cook for you." ”
Long Yuheng helped Xu Ruojuan light the fire, Xu Ruojuan looked at him from time to time while cooking, but saw that he had been secretly looking at Xue Qing who was sitting at the table. During the meal, Long Yuheng kept serving Xue Qing vegetables, Xue Qing glared at him fiercely, and he showed an innocent expression.
Xu Ruojuan is also from the past, how could she not understand, she asked tentatively: "...... you?"
"Mother...... I ......" Although the purpose of bringing Long Yuheng here was to ask Xu Ruojuan's opinion, Xu Ruojuan suddenly asked, and Xue Qing didn't know how to speak for a while.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Long Yuheng didn't dare to speak, although he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of making her angry, so he had to look at her with expectant eyes.
Xu Ruojuan sighed and said, "It's okay, if you have the intention, let's be together." ”
"Mother!"
"Qing'er, you've done enough for Ice Flame and for me. These days, you and I depend on each other, and I have long regarded you as my own daughter. Bingyan has been gone for so long, and you are not married, you don't need to guard him, my mother only hopes that you will be happy in the future. ”
"Mother......
"Mother!" Long Yuheng saw the opportunity, took Xue Qing's hand and said, "You can rest assured that your sister will be married to me, I will protect her for the rest of my life, and I will honor you with my sister." From now on, I will be your son. ”
Xu Ruojuan was relieved: "Okay! Good! Eat quickly, or the dishes will be cold. ”
After dinner, after a few gossips with Xu Ruojuan, Xue Qing was about to leave. Xu Ruojuan pulled her and couldn't bear to say: "My eyes are already good, you, don't go out and show your face again in the future." ”
"Mother, you can't give up halfway. The two young ladies have not yet finished their studies. In another three months, I will finish teaching everything that should be taught, and after that I will not go out and stay at home with you. ”
Long Yuheng also said: "Mother, don't worry, I will make money to support you and my sister in the future." ”
"Okay, you're all good boys." Xu Ruojuan smiled.
On the way, Xue Qing found a secluded place to sit down, Long Yuheng saw that she had something on her mind, so he didn't speak, and sat beside her silently.
"Yu Heng, you always asked me before, who is Bing Yan." Xue Qing paused for a moment, plucked up her courage and said, "He is the person I will never forget, we almost got married, but ......"
Although she had been mentally prepared before, even though nearly five years had passed, Xue Qing's tears couldn't help but fall when she mentioned the past at this time.
Long Yuheng listened quietly, not bothering her, he knew that she was never willing to mention the past, and it was not easy to say it.
Xue Qing said slowly, from the acquaintance of the two when they were young, to falling in love, to later separation, she went down the mountain to find him, and then to Luo Rong, the sword test conference, the mystery of her life experience, and the poisonous hair, but she only said that Bingyan was poisonous, and chose to commit suicide. She said everything except rebellion, and even at this moment, she still didn't want him to have any stain.
Speaking of burning the corpse of Ice Flame with her own hands, Xue Qing couldn't cry. Long Yuheng held her in his arms and let her cry. It turns out that she is so bitter, but she has always pretended to be strong, cry, crying is good. With him by her side in the future, he won't let her cry anymore.
Xue Qing wiped her tears and looked into his eyes: "Yuheng, I'm not as good as you imagined, I can't let go of the ice flame in my heart, and I will never be able to let go." I'm not perfect, I've even had a miscarriage. So, you...... Do you still insist on marrying me? With that, she lowered her head again and bit her lip.
"Yes!" Long Yuheng took her hand and said resolutely, "Sister, I don't blame you, I won't and am not qualified to mind your past." I just blame the inopportune time for not meeting you earlier, not being able to appear in front of you as he is when he left, and failing to protect you when you needed it most. ”
Xue Qing raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes. Long Yuheng cupped her face and said seriously: "Sister, since I am so similar to him, I will treat him as my eldest brother." In the future, I will take care of you and my mother for him, and we will be happily together as a family. ”
Xue Qing nodded and leaned on his shoulder, this time, she really wanted to let go of the knot in her heart and start again.
"Sister, if you don't want to go back to the plum garden, we can also stay here, in this village."
Xue Qing understood what he meant, he was afraid that the people in the plum garden would be unhappy when they saw the two pointing together, and stay here, no one knew their past, and no one knew that she was Yu Linglong.
"Okay." Xue Qing nodded slightly.
