Chapter 6: Reminiscences
After Cai Fei finished speaking, she stretched out her slender fingers and stroked Xi Fei's obviously emaciated face, and Xi Fei twisted her head to the side as if she was hiding from the plague.
The heart was extremely angry but weak, Xi Fei tried a few times, but her vocal cords couldn't speak, so she used her chest to hold back her voice and said angrily: "Do you think I haven't been tortured enough?" Don't forget, you and I are sisters of the same mother's milk, how can you bear to hurt me like this? How much hatred do you have for me? ”
Cai Fei was taught by her sister in front of all the slaves and maids, and she was so ashamed that she lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows.
"Sister, please listen to me, I know that my sister hates me in my heart, but before you came to Cai Guo, my sister did not know that such a thing would happen, otherwise I would not have persuaded you to come, now that the matter has come to this, my sister should not always be unable to pass this hurdle, fortunately...... You're already a wife, and as long as you don't talk about it when you go back yourself, your brother-in-law won't know about it......"
Before Cai Fei finished speaking, Xi Fei suddenly grabbed the pillow and smashed it out, her pale face turned red with anger.
Growl: "Shut up!" I don't say he doesn't know, but my own heart knows, what face do I have to go back to him? Tomorrow is to climb, and I will also climb out of Cai Guo; Even if I die, I will die in Xiguo, you give me out! ”
This is the first time that Xi Fei has opened her mouth to Cai Fei since she was forcibly occupied by Cai Hou that night, and Cai Fei also knows that her sister will not forgive her in this life, I am afraid that in this life, I will not want to see her again, her eyes are red, and she choked up: "Okay...... Good...... I'll leave tomorrow...... My sister takes care of herself all the way! I'm going out to ...... Sister, don't be angry......"
The next day, as soon as the day was light, Xi Fei climbed into the carriage of the return to Xi Guo with the support of the maid, and left this place where she did not even want to look in this direction in her life.
After leaving Cai Guo, Xi Fei asked the coachman to hurry up, hurrying all the way, and Cai Guocheng had gradually faded out of sight.
At this time, the sky was not beautiful, the sky was rolling with dark clouds, the wind was blowing, Xiangming picked up the corner of the curtain and asked Xi Fei, if you should go back to Cai Guo to avoid the rain before leaving, but I didn't expect to see Xi Fei's tears in her eyes, crying painfully.
Xiangming, who didn't know it, panicked all of a sudden, and asked eagerly, "Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable again?" ”
After Xiang Ming finished speaking, she didn't wait for Concubine Xi to reply, so she took it upon herself to shout to the coachman: "Coachman, quickly turn around and go back to Cai Guo." ”
"If you don't go, you won't die, you let the coachman see if there is a place to shelter from the rain."
When Xi Fei heard this, she quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed the fragrant tea, her head shook like a rattle, and her face was frightened.
Xiangming is only one year older than Xi Fei, and Xiangling has grown up with Xi Fei since she was a child, Xi Fei has a docile personality, a kind heart, and is very friendly to her subordinates, very sympathetic to them, and won the hearts of the people, especially Xiangming and Xiangling, who are even more dedicated to serving Xi Fei, plus the two are well-behaved, their hands and feet are nimble, and their mouths are tight and they know how to measure, so when Xi Fei got married, they made a room companion.
Xiangming knew that Xi Fei was a steady and assertive person, but she had never seen her nervous like this, which showed how afraid she was of Cai Guo, so she hurriedly said like a child: "Don't go back, don't go back, let's not go back to Cai Guo." ”
The coachman was in trouble, in this wilderness, there were no people, where to find a place to shelter from the rain, seeing that the clouds were thick, and the heavy rain was coming, he raised his eyes and found that there was a cave not far away, but let the lady go to the cave?
There have been scattered light raindrops falling, and the driver should not be allowed to think about it too much, so he hurried to report it.
"Madame, this place is deserted...... Fortunately, there is a cave in front of me, which should be barely able to shelter from the rain...... It's just that I'm going to be wronged by Mrs.! ”
Xi Fei didn't think about it, and said through the curtain: "Just go to that cave to avoid for a while!" ”
The coachman had just driven the carriage to the mouth of the cave, and Xiang Ming helped Xi Fei get out of the car, Xi Fei looked at the cave and was stunned, her heart palpitated, and the rain gradually intensified, and then she walked into the cave.
The cave is not big, but it can barely accommodate a dozen people, and when she saw the people who followed behind her standing outside the cave, Xi Fei beckoned them to come in together to avoid the rain, the road was far away, in case someone was sick, it would be more wrong.
As soon as the servants and maids entered the cave, the sky began to rain heavily, and all the consignments and horses were soaked in the rain.
It's late autumn, an autumn rain and a cold, as soon as the rain falls, the temperature begins to drop, and the wind blows a layer of goosebumps on the skin.
The small cave was crowded with people, the air became thinner, and Xi Fei stood a little towards the entrance of the cave, because the terrain was relatively high, the rain that flowed down the mountain flowed down the long thatch at the entrance of the cave to the ground, and the rain outside the curtain murmured, and the wind blew up showers of rain and mist, and hazy Xi Fei's hair.
"Madam, stand inside, your body bones are not very good."
Xiangling thoughtfully took out the silk handkerchief from her sleeve and gently helped Xi Fei dry the rain mist on her head.
Xi Fei watched the raindrops of beans fall on the yellow mud ground, forming muddy puddles, and then splashing a layer of muddy water one after another, looking from a distance, it seems that a yellow smoke is rolling in.
Her heart at the moment was also as blurry as this muddy fog, and although she escaped from the wolf's den, she didn't know where to go next.
Her heart was full of grief, and her wounds were still bleeding. Lang Ah Lang, now the concubine is no longer the pure Qingqiu you used to be, and the concubine has no face to return to you.
But dear ones! I'm so reluctant to you, I can't imagine what it will be like when you lose me, I can't bear to be sad about you, do you remember the scene when we first met? Also in such caves.
Xiao Qingqiu, who has just turned eight, has just grown into a little girl, her skin is as white as porcelain, her beautiful face is smooth as a freshly peeled egg, and under her thick and slightly curled eyelashes, her black pupils are as clear as a lake under the light blue whites of her eyes.
She can sit quietly under the flower stand and read the books of the morning, draw a picture of Meilan calmly, leisurely and leisurely plucking the strings, accompany her father to play chess games to relieve fatigue, or ride a horse and shoot arrows for a long time. It's really quiet like a virgin, and it's like a rabbit in motion.
There is such a daughter who is both civil and military, it is said that she should be the pearl of Chen Guogong's palm, but Qingqiu's mother, Mrs. Chen Guo, has always been dissatisfied with her, and often obstructs her when she rides a horse and shoots arrows, saying that girls can learn female virtues well, and they are not allowed to fight and kill boys, which is too unruly.
It was one day eight years ago, and Qingqiu, who had his own opinions since he was a child, was practicing archery on this day.
The mother, who had said many times, was silent this time, caught her off guard, stepped forward and snatched her bow from her hand, and took it away, and even angrily carried the delicate bow straight into the kitchen, and threw the bow into the blazing furnace, Qingqiu quickly snatched the bow from the fire, but unfortunately it was still burned unpresently.
She ignored the hot hands, and stroked the scorched back of the bow in distress, and her delicate hands soon burst into a string of bubbles, and the stubborn Qingqiu didn't shed a single tear, but silently carried the bow and walked out.
Maybe it was because he was tired of listening to his mother's nagging, or maybe it was because of his temper for a while, Qingqiu quietly ran away from home.
