Extra: Ah Li (3)
Since that conversation with Wen Ning, there has been a faint smoke of gunpowder between us. I could vaguely feel her hostility towards me becoming more and more obvious! It's just that we all maintain this superficial calm, and no one says anything.
We get along very well with outsiders, at least in Yanqing's opinion.
It's almost the end of the year, and Gu Fu's business has gradually stopped! Godfather and Yanqing have more days at home!
On this day, the housekeeper said that someone was looking for me outside! I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't remember who it was! When I came to the door, I saw the man wearing an inky cloak and a hosta on his head. Holding an umbrella, his body is slender! Standing in the snowy snow is more and more like a painting. It's not Yuxian, who is it! After the last meeting, he said that he needed to go out for something. I didn't expect it to come today!
I smiled and walked forward. When he saw me coming, he smiled and held his umbrella above my head, blocking the light snow.
He raised his hand to flick away the snow that had not yet melted on my forehead, and said in a very nice voice as always, "Why come out without an umbrella!" ”
I subconsciously touched his position with my hand, a little overwhelmed. This action ...... Something is not adaptable!
"Hmm...... It wasn't a long way. I said, "By the way, why are you here at this time, it's almost the end of the year!" ”
"You don't want me to come?" Instead, he asked me.
"No, no! Isn't it almost the end of the year? Shouldn't you go home first? I explained, thinking he had misunderstood!
He smiled and said he was joking with me! Speaking of which, there are some things to discuss with my godfather here! I nodded and understood. Suddenly he took a box out of his cuff and handed it to me, and I looked at him puzzled. Yuxian smiled and stuffed it into my hand: "This is a gadget for you, it's not worth a few dollars!" Take it. ”
Before I could excuse myself, I heard him say again, "I have something to do, I'm just stopping by to see you today!" I'll pay a formal visit in a few days. I'll go first, let's get inside! With that, he put the umbrella in my hand and turned away!
"Hey......" When I reacted and stopped him, I found that he had already gone away! I looked at the box in my hand, looked up at his long disappeared figure, and only felt that the box in my hand was a little heavy!
"Ah Li!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind me. I turned around, only to see Yan Qing calling me behind me! I was about to go over, but I saw him come first. I hurriedly tried to hide the box in my hand, but he took it away.
I subconsciously wanted to take the box back, but I didn't want the disparity in size to be so big! I looked at him a little angrily, but he smiled nonchalantly and opened the box. When I saw it, it was a pair of red agate earrings!
"Ah Li! Do you think he likes you? Yan Qing picked up the pair of earrings. The red agate is extremely gorgeous under the trust of learning.
I saw that I couldn't rob him, so I gave up. Don't look at him, don't answer him. Yan Qing's temperament has always been that the more you fight him, the more interested he becomes. Sure enough, seeing that I didn't rob it, he stopped.
"Ah Li, do you like him?" Surprisingly, this time Yan Qing put away her past casualness and asked me seriously!
It's been a long time since I've seen him like this, I'm a little surprised! After a while, he asked him, "Then do you think I should like him?" ”
Yan Qing suddenly stopped talking. I don't know what I'm thinking!
Suddenly there was silence! I looked up at him, only to see a complicated look in his eyes. So he called 'Yanqing'!
He seemed to come to his senses, laughed, but didn't answer. A finger poked my forehead, and I was grinning again!
I was a little depressed for no reason.
Yanqing! Do you really want me to like him?
Or do you really want me to get married sooner?
I couldn't help but ask. Then Yan Qing returned the earrings to me and urged me to go in!
A few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, someone from the Gu Mansion came. It's Wen Ning's nurse!
The godfather received the news and ordered someone to wait at the door early in the morning! At this time, I happened to come back from outside, and I happened to meet her getting out of the carriage, waiting for Wen Ning!
At first I didn't know who it was, but then it was Mitsue who told me. said that Miss Cousin's nurse came to pick her up and go back to Zhangzhou!
I was a little puzzled as to why the nurse came. Unexpectedly, Manzhi said that this nurse was the maid brought by Wen Ning's mother when she got married! Later, the master graciously promised people and returned to the Lord's house! Wen Ning was taken care of by this nurse as soon as she was born, and her mother died a few years ago, so Wen Ning's food, clothing, housing and transportation have always been taken care of by her. Even in the Lord's house, he is a master who can speak. It's just that Wen Ning came to Liaoxi this time and the nurse returned to her hometown, so she didn't follow! No, I came to pick her up today.
I said 'oh' and was gone.
In the evening, Manzhi told me to go to dinner! When I arrived, Wen Ning and Yan Qing had already sat down! As soon as I sat down, I felt a gaze look at me, and when I looked up, I saw a woman standing next to Wen Ning across from me! When I saw her, I quickly lowered my head!
I'm a little curious! Have I seen this woman anywhere?
After dinner, the godfather let Yanqing's woman into the study! Wen Ning and I had nothing to do, so we just waited outside.
Wen Ning and I sat outside the study, but neither of us spoke! Maybe only the two of us know, neither of us wants to talk to each other!
Xu was bored, Wen Ning played with my pendant in his hand! I was suddenly shocked, isn't this the Sansheng Stone obtained by Yanqing on the Qixi Festival that day? How could it be in her hands? Was it given to her by Yanqing?
There were so many questions in my head!
Xu saw me staring at the pendant. Wen Ning looked at me with a smile and said, "Sister Ali, but you think it's familiar?" This was given to me by Brother Yanqing! ”
Her voice sounded very happy, and she raised her hand and shook it a few times! But I felt so glaring.
Yanqing, Yanqing! So you like Wen Ning!
I sat down in my chair as if deflated, and didn't look at Wen Ning again! But I know she must be laughing.
Soon, the door to the study opened! Yanqing: They came out. I raised my head in frustration, but I saw Yan Qing with an expressionless face! Not only her, but even the godfather's face was silent, with vague anger.
I didn't go to see him, I said goodbye to my godfather and went back to my room!
I don't know what happened next, but I heard someone say that my godfather was a little angry that night. As for why, it's probably for Yanqing's marriage contract!
I heard about Yanqing and Wen Ning's marriage from my godfather's mouth! After that night, Wen Ning and the nurse returned to Zhangzhou on the second day! After they left, the godfather ordered someone to prepare things for personal use. Only then did I know that Yan Qing and Wen Ning had settled down to kiss the baby since she was a child!
I remember being stunned and unable to come back to my senses for a long time! When Yanqing saw me standing there, she walked over and shouted, 'Ah Li!' ’
I looked up at him slowly: "Yanqing! Congratulations! I didn't expect my eyes to be red.
"Ah Li!" He snorted softly, with an unknown sadness!
I smiled at him, said I was fine, and went back to my room. He was left alone.
I rarely went out after that day! Until the Chinese New Year, I only ate and returned to my room. But Yan Qing was locked up by her godfather and no one was allowed to visit. It wasn't until he went to Zhangzhou to propose that he was released!
I smiled, full of bitterness!
After returning to Zhangzhou, the wedding date was set, in March.
But before I could react, Man Zhi ran to tell me in a panic that someone had come to the door to propose! I panicked and asked who it was!
Man Zhi said that it was a son named Jingzhou Yuxian! I was shocked! Suddenly remembered the official visit he said on the other day when he left. It turned out to be a proposal!
I hurriedly came to the front yard, but I saw my godfather looking at Yuxian with a happy face! Seeing that I was coming, my godfather motioned for me to go over and say to me, "Ah Li, Yuxian is here to propose today!" Great, you and your brother are all in the way now! Daddy is going to get you married in May. When the time comes, Daddy will definitely send you to get married! ”
I looked at my godfather with a happy face in disbelief! He turned his head to look at Yuxian again. But I saw him looking at me with a gentle and elegant look!
But in the eyes of my godfather, it was as if I was embarrassed, so I asked Yuxian to talk alone!
After my godfather left, I looked at Yuxian and didn't know what to say! There was a sudden silence all around. Finally he spoke first and asked me if I was uncomfortable, and I shook my head, but I still didn't know what to say!
He seemed to know what I was thinking, and said something abrupt! I don't know how to answer him, but I remember Yanqing's face in my heart! I don't know what Yan Qing will do if she knows?
I wanted to say no, but when I saw him smiling, the words seemed to be stuck in my throat.
In the end, Xu saw that I was not interested, so he left, saying that he would come to see me next time!
I nodded, sent him out the door, and went back dejected!
I only knew that the marriage between me and Yanqing was decided, and the mansion was lively all of a sudden, and the godfather who should prepare the things was also preparing, but everyone in the mansion was full of joy, but only Yanqing and I didn't have a smile on their faces!
February in western Liaoning is still cold, and it is still snowing. I stood at the gate of the yard and looked at the tea lily that had fallen its leaves! This was given to me by Yanqing in the past! At that time, I had just come to Gufu, and in order to make me not lonely, Yanqing planted a lot of tea flowers for me! But I can't feed myself, so he helps me take care of it every year, but this is when spring is coming to an end, and when it blooms, it means that spring is over, but no matter how we take care of it, I never see it bloom!
I looked at the tea flowers with fascination. But he didn't notice the sound of footsteps behind him.
Yan Qing came behind me, watched me squatting on the ground, stretched out her hand and put it on my head, touching my head as always.
I was stunned and slowly looked back at him, only to see that he was full of exhaustion.
I stood up, a little incredulous, I hadn't seen him all these days, I didn't expect him to be like this!
"What's wrong?" I asked!
He shook his head and turned to look at the withered tea flowers. With a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, "Ah Li!" Do you know what the flower language of the tea lily flower is? ”
"What is it?"
"The beauty of the strange road, the beauty of the end of the world." He said
I didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him with a puzzled expression!
He looked at me and smiled bitterly! "Ah Li, do you know why you never saw it bloom?"
"The blossoming of the tulip flower represents the end of the relationship. Love to the fullest means that the most brilliant, prosperous or unforgettable love in life is about to be lost. His voice was hoarse, with a low emotion! Let people fall into his emotions!
"This flower loves temperature, and it needs to bloom in a warm place! But Liaoxi is located in a humid area, so it is extremely difficult to bloom," he suddenly looked at me
"Ah Li, if this flower blooms one day, the girl I like will not be by my side!"
I watched his heart beat violently, I didn't understand what he meant, but it was like grasping something!
"Ah Li, I like you!" He said: "From the moment I knew that Wen Ning and I were married, I found that the person I liked was you!" I used to think that I was a brother and sister to you, but then I found out that since my father started choosing a husband for you, I knew that the person I liked was you! ”
I looked at him in disbelief, and Yan Qing said...... Like me?
"Seriously?" My voice trembled.
"Ah Li, I like you," he said again!
I suddenly laughed and cried! Then he put his arms around his neck and fell on his shoulders and cried!
Yanqing, I've finally arrived! I like you too, from the time when Manzhi began to tell me that Wen Ning had a marriage contract with you.
