Chapter 29 There are two ways to be safe in the world
"Young master, shopkeeper Zhuang." Shopkeeper Zhao saw Zhuang Zhou on the side and nodded slightly to say hello. Zhuang Zhou returned the salute, "Shopkeeper Zhao." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, walked to the table, and put the embroidery pattern in his hand in front of Ye Jingsheng, "Young master, look, this is the newly embroidered pattern of the young grandmother, 'Peach Blossom Dock', 'Queqiao Immortal', 'Yumen Pass'." ”
Ye Jingsheng raised his head and looked at the three pairs of embroidery that had been placed in front of him, the deputy was vivid, as if he was alive. Ye Jingsheng looked out of the door, then fell on the embroidery in front of him, and asked as if inadvertently, "Why didn't the young grandmother come along?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao has lived for nearly half of his life, so he naturally heard whether Ye Jingsheng's words were intentional or unintentional, and couldn't help but smile, "Those embroidery girls who just came in are very difficult, and the young grandmother can't get out at all." If the young master thinks about it, it would be good to go and see for himself. Why bother," Shopkeeper Zhao paused, turned around and walked to the door, and then smiled again: "Why bother talking like this, hehe." With that, he walked out with a smile.
Ye Jingsheng was a little embarrassed by what he said, and coughed calmly, "What Aunt Zhao said is getting more and more frivolous." I don't know if I want to say this to myself, or to Zhuang Zhou on the side, Ye Jingsheng lowered his head and looked at the account book in his hand, but he couldn't see a word clearly.
Zhuang Zhou stood aside, pursing his lips, unable to hide the smile on his face. He felt that what the shopkeeper Zhao said was reasonable.
As the sun sets, the darkness on the horizon gradually hits. Ye Jingsheng sat alone behind the desk, with half of the account book in front of him, and Zhuang Zhou left early because of the business in the store. In the empty room, only the sound of the wind blowing over the books fell.
After a long time, Ye Jingsheng stood up, and his long body pulled out a long shadow in the dim skylight, passing through the table and swaying on the ground.
Ye Jingsheng looked out the window, put his hands behind his back, looked at the clouds slowly rolling up in the sky, and couldn't help but think deeply. Count the days, and the letter should have arrived. There is a hint of indescribable emotion between the eyebrows and eyes, and it is time to end.
When Su Wan walked to the door, she saw Ye Jingsheng standing alone by the window. The leaning body suddenly looked a little lonely under the sunset.
But the young man is in his prime, what will he be lonely for? Is it because of the departure of the eldest brother? Or is it because she ......
Su Wan's long eyelashes slowly drooped, and she was suddenly curious. What kind of woman is the person who can put Jingsheng in his heart? Xu dumped the country and the city, or a small jasper.
In short, it won't be her.
"Jingsheng." Su Wan adjusted her mood a few times, picked up her skirt slightly and walked in, her tone sounded soft, as usual.
Ye Jingsheng, who was thinking about it, was slightly startled by the sudden sound behind him, and his heartbeat missed a beat. When you are calm, turn around and look. I saw the girl wearing a light green jacket and skirt, and she came.
"Jingsheng, the car is ready, you can go back." Su Wan stopped a meter away and put her hands together in front of her abdomen. Because of the angle at which she was standing, it happened to be facing the sun, so when she looked at the boy in front of her, there was a golden haze.
"Okay." Ye Jingsheng paused for a long time before he answered, and there was a little more incomprehensible depth in his eyes when he looked at Su Wan.
I saw Su Wan slightly bowing her head to the side, Ye Jingsheng frowned slightly, he knew that this was the meaning of letting him go first. If it had been placed before, perhaps Ye Jingsheng would have taught Su Wan that everyone is equal. But now, Ye Jingsheng feels more and more that he is not qualified to teach Su Wan. Because, he can't even figure it out himself. Ye Jingsheng sighed silently, and walked over. In the shining sun, the two of them rubbed shoulders.
——
"How did you feel when your eldest brother left?"
In the quiet carriage, Ye Jingsheng suddenly asked. Su Wan, who was sitting on the side, was obviously stunned and looked up at Ye Jingsheng on the side. The young man's eyebrows were lowered, and he looked at the account book in his hand, unable to see the young man's expression.
"Self-reluctant, reluctant." Su Wan struggled for a long time before answering. Although she didn't get along with Brother Ye for a long time, when she was in Buzhuang, Brother Ye took care of her from time to time, making her feel a kind of family-like care. Suddenly leaving abruptly, it was really a little uncomfortable.
Ye Jingsheng's eyebrows lowered, his hand grasped the scroll tightly, and muttered to himself, "Reluctant, is it......"
Ye Jingsheng's voice was very small, and the small one made Su Wan can't help but poke her head, but she still didn't hear it too clearly, so she could only ask tentatively: "Jingsheng is also reluctant to let the eldest brother go, right?" ”
Ye Jingsheng clenched the scroll in his hand, and slowly relaxed after a long time, with a rare coldness between his eyebrows, "Naturally." ”
As soon as the words ended, the carriage came to a steady stop. Ah Si, who was driving the car, put away the horsewhip, put down the low stool, and then shouted leisurely: "Young master, young grandmother, I'm home." ”
Ye Jingsheng held the account book, got up, lifted the curtain, and got out of the carriage. Su Wan looked at the disappearing back, a little stunned, until Ah Si called her, she came back to her senses, lifted the curtain, and got out of the carriage, but Ye Jingsheng's figure was missing. In front of the courtyard gate, there are only busy servants.
Su Wan was in a slightly gloomy mood, and walked up the steps in a trance and walked into the courtyard gate.
"Is the master back?" Su Wan stopped, her eyes drooped slightly, she just looked at the ground, but asked the little maid who was cleaning the yard next to her.
"Back to the young grandmother, the master hasn't come back yet." The little maid who was cleaning the yard heard the voice, stopped what he was doing, and replied with a slight bend towards Su Wan.
"Not ...... yet," Su Wan repeated softly, her heart relaxed and tightened, and slowly paced in the direction of the hall.
Instead of watching Jing Sheng suffer so hard every day, it is better for her to bring it up herself, and she can solve Jing Sheng's sorrows. Su Wan thought like this, and before she knew it, she had walked to the front hall. When he stopped and looked up, he looked at Ye Jingsheng in the hall. The four eyes were facing each other, speechless and embarrassed.
Ye Jingsheng silently retracted his gaze, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and he lifted the lid on the celadon teacup for a while, and the sound of edge friction was heard very clearly in the silent hall.
Su Wan's eyes retracted in the blink of an eye, and the look in her eyes flashed with a moment of gloom and heartache, as if her heart was tightly pressed against a big stone, making her breathless.
Sure enough, as she expected. It's just that when I really face it, my heart still hurts so uncontrollably......
Su Wan bowed her head, her slender fingers lifted the skirt slightly, lifted the corner of the skirt, crossed the threshold, and walked in.
There are some things that she wants to escape, but she can't escape; She wanted to face it, but she was afraid of bruises all over her body.
In this world, there are two perfections, which will fulfill you and will not hurt me......
"Jing,"
"Young, young master, no, it's not good! Something happened to the old man! ”
An eager voice interrupted Su Wan's words, followed by a flurry of footsteps, and soon, Zhuang Zhou, who was running out of breath, appeared in the sight of Ye Jingsheng and Su Wan.
"Uncle Zhuang, what's wrong with my father?!" Ye Jingsheng got up, glanced at Su Wan in front of him, and walked quickly to Zhuang Zhou's side.
Su Wan leaned back slightly, standing behind Ye Jingsheng, her eyes also looking at the panting Zhuang Zhou with worry and puzzle.
"Old, master, something's wrong, young, young master, you, you go, take a look," Zhuang Zhou said intermittently.
"Where's my dad!" Ye Jingsheng panicked, grabbed Zhuang Zhou's arm and asked eagerly.
"Three, three rivers,"
Without waiting for Zhuang Zhou to finish speaking, Ye Jingsheng ran out quickly. Su Wan's brows furrowed, and she followed. Zhuang Zhou, who was standing in place and panting, saw this, and also turned around and followed.
"Young, young master, wait, wait, I'......"
“……”
"Give me the horse!"
Ah Si at the door was untying the horse and the carriage, Ye Jingsheng walked quickly, snatched the horse rope from Ah Si's hand, turned over, and got on the horse.
"Jingsheng!"
Su Wan staggered after with a pair of small feet, a pair of dark eyes flashing with worry, Ye Jingsheng's heart softened, and he stretched out his right hand. Su Wan raised her head, looked at the young man at sunset, and slowly stretched out her hand. The moment the two hands were put together, Ye Jingsheng held it tightly, and with one force, pulled Su Wan on the ground onto the horse's back and wrapped it in his arms.
"Drive!"
Ye Jingsheng clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and the horse's four hooves were raised, and he ran quickly.
"Young, young master!"
Zhuang Zhou, who ran out of breath, saw the shadow of the horse that was about to disappear, and the dust that had not yet sunk in the air.
——
The Sandao River, as its name suggests, is actually the place where the Sandao River Bays gather, the water is turbulent, and people come and go through a stone bridge above the water. This stone bridge, I can't say what year it was built, occasionally the old man talked about it, but it was only vaguely said that Xu was Kangxi, or during the Yongzheng period, in short, it has a history of hundreds of years. The whole stone bridge is dotted with moss, and the gray-blue stone has also worn away its brilliance and become dull, but it has carried many years of history.
The bearded brown horse stepped swiftly across the stone bridge, Dada's hooves clashing against the heavy stone slabs with a crisp and rapid sound.
"Isn't this Master Ye of the Splendid Cloth Village? What's wrong? ”
"Who knows. When will it be our turn to know the troubles of the rich! ”
"I heard it's a debt."
“……”
A group of people gathered around a place and kept discussing and discussing, surging with black pressure and shaking heads, and irrepressible gossip mentality.
"馿~"
Ye Jingsheng looked at the surging crowd in front of him, and his eyebrows furrowed. If he remembered correctly, Sandaohe was slowly barren in the early years, and it had long lost its former prosperity. With so many people gathered now, something must have happened to you.
Father!
Ye Jingsheng's eyes widened suddenly, he turned over and got off the horse, took advantage of the situation to help Su Wan on the horse's back, shook it backhand, held Su Wan's hand, and ran towards the crowd.
"Let's Jean! Let's get it! ”
Pushing aside the crowd, Ye Jingsheng led Su Wan all the way in.
"Boss Ye, this is clearly written in black and white, don't think about repaying the debt!"
Dressed in a navy blue robe, Bunzo held a yellowish piece of paper with small characters written on it.
"In front of my father and fellow villagers, I, Wen San, will not lie to you Boss Ye. If you don't believe it, I can let the big guy take a look! ”
Wen San held the paper and walked towards the crowd as he spoke.
There were a few good things in the crowd, poking their heads out and looking at the paper handed by Wen San one after another. Those who can understand and those who can't understand are all nodding their heads as if they were righteous.
