Chapter 61: The Green Plum Is Gone
"Husband and wife worship each other!" Qiu Zeyuan and Xin Daiyi slowly turned to face each other, and both of them bowed deeply.
"Send to the cave!" No matter how reserved the people are on weekdays, they are all lively at this time, and they are crowded into the cave room.
Qiu Zeyuan and Xin Daiyi ate red dates, peanuts, longan, and melon seeds in the laughter of everyone, and they were about to drink the wine, but as soon as the wine was handed to their mouths, Tong Fengyi smiled and said: "Wait, you two didn't do anything except eat after entering the cave room, we are making trouble, this is not good." Zeyuan, should you do something to say goodbye to your more than 40 years of loneliness? ”
Qiu Zeyuan was angry when he saw Tong Fengyi's uneasy and kind face, these people were the ones who took the lead, and scolded with a smile: "Get away!" ”
"Hey! Brother and sister, do you say that this is Zeyuan, this happy day actually told me to go? "Tong Fengyi can't make trouble, Qiu Zeyuan will come to make trouble with Xin Daiyi.
He Yanjun also helped on the side, "That's it, Dai Wei, you have to take care of your family Zeyuan, why can't you speak so much?" ”
Xin Daiyi was so ashamed of them that her face was like a colorful glow, and she bowed her head and said nothing.
Tong Fengyi coaxed again: "Kiss one!" Kiss one! Kiss one! ”
Everyone also shouted with Tong Fengyi, Qiu Zeyuan was so troubled that he could only take Xin Daiyi's fragrant shoulder and imprint a kiss on her forehead, and the room immediately applauded. Bai Qiaoxuan looked at Yiyou beside him, saw her eyes with tears, thought she was sad when she was sensitive, so he gently shook her hand, but Yiyou was like a frightened bird, and suddenly retracted his hand, Bai Qiaoxuan thought that Yiyou felt that he was offended, and just wanted to apologize but heard her say: "It's okay." ”
After the ritual in the cave room, Qiu Zeyuan and Xin Daiwei each changed into light clothes that were easy to walk, Qiu Zeyuan wore a glazed red bullet ink and Tilian pattern Wen Shangge gown, Xin Daiyi wore a red gold and Tilian pattern Tianxiang silk cheongsam, and put a red tulle shawl on the waist of the arm, the two walked into the banquet that had been prepared hand in hand, and after sitting down, a group of juniors sent congratulatory gifts. Because the marriage of Qiu Lingwei and Tong Yuqing, Bai Qiaoxuan and Yiyou had been decided, they discussed the non-formality, and this time the congratulations were sent directly in the name of the unmarried couple to please the elders.
The first to give a congratulatory gift was of course Qiu Lingjiong, who had just entered the East Palace, Qiu Lingwei and Tong Yuqing slowly unfolded a brocade silk at one end, and thousands of lotus flowers were in full bloom, so that people couldn't figure out which one was the same as which one, Qiu Lingxi and Tong Yuqing knelt down together, and said loudly: "I wish the overseer and his wife a hundred years of good together, and grow old together." ”
Qiu Zeyuan didn't like Qiu Lingwei anymore, and he had to save him three points of face at this time, so he ordered them to get up kindly, Qiu Lingwei and Tong Yuqing brought a delicate blessing box and handed it to Qiu Zeyuan and Xin Daiwei respectively, and the two opened it to see that it was full of lotus seeds. Qiu Lingqiao and Tong Yuqing said respectfully: "I wish the Overseer and his wife Fulu both complete, and the children and grandchildren are full." ”
Qiu Zeyuan's heart darkened, but his face did not move, and he asked calmly: "Who came up with the idea of this congratulatory gift?" ”
Qiu Lingwei leaned down and said, "Back to my father, the idea of the lotus picture was thought of by Yu Qing, and the idea of the lotus seed blessing box was from me." ”
Qiu Zeyuan was annoyed in his heart, but his eyes were extremely clear, and he asked, "Do you want my children and grandchildren to be full?" "I only hope you don't want me to cut off my children and grandchildren.
Qiu Lingjiong's body leaned lower, but his voice was still steady and powerful, "As a son of man, of course Lingwei hopes that his father will have thousands of sons and grandchildren, and the country will be extended." ”
Tong Fengyi dropped the wine glass heavily on the case, and said with a drunken smile: "Okay, okay, your gift has also been offered, just retreat, I'm still waiting to see Qiao Xuan and Yiyou's gifts." ”
Qiu Zeyuan no longer entangled with Qiu Lingjian and let them sit down. Dressed in a pure white carved silk with a long skirt of phoenix tail yarn with a flower and a phoenix tail pattern, Yi You's light cloud steps, Ying Ying bowed down, and Bai Qiaoxuan, who was wearing a moon-white bullet ink ink Yuan mountain pattern Minghua Ge robe, knelt side by side, Qiu Zeyuan was very relieved to see this pair of talented and beautiful golden boys and girls, Xun Xun, you should be dumbfounded when you see you looking for a lover in the sky......
Bai Qiaoxuan and Yi Youyou bowed and said, "Please look up at the sky from the Overseer, Madame." ”
A vermilion lantern with a small fire lion rose one after another, forming a sea of red flowers in the starry night sky, making it impossible to ignore her dazzling brilliance, just when everyone squinted their eyes to avoid her dazzling beauty, the two fire lions in the middle of the night sky suddenly spat red silk, which was surprising and surprising.
Yi You smiled: "This is the pair that Qiao Xuan and I made for my uncle and aunt that are not a pair, please accept it with a smile." ”
"Thousands of generations of life wishes, full of love and a hundred years of peace. Good sentence, good sentence! Although the battle is not neat, the mountains and rivers are eternal, and eternity is good for today's situation. Tong Fengyi clapped his hands and praised.
"Huh? At the end and beginning of this sentence, the names of Zeyuan and Dai Wei are also used. He Yanjun sighed after looking at the red silk.
Bai Qiaoxuan smiled: "What Uncle said is true. ”
Only then did everyone realize that "wish" and "meaning" were homophonic with "far" and "懝", and they were full of praise for Bai Qiaoxuan and Yiyou.
Qiu Lingwei said with a smile: "Qiao Xuan and Yiyou can come up with this wonderful method of the fire lion's dedication, and they are indeed talented and beautiful." I'm ashamed of myself. ”
"Brother Ling is too famous, and the little brother is ashamed." Bai Qiaoxuan bowed his head slightly to Qiu Lingxuan, and when he looked up at Tong Yuqing, he saw that she also had the most appropriate smile on her face.
Qiu Zeyuan waited for everyone to calm down and said with a smile: "Then accept your auspicious words, sit down quickly." ”
The last salute was naturally the youngest Tong Yuhao and Bai Jiayin, Tong Yuhao said curtly: "Uncle Qiu, uncle, my congratulatory gift really can't be compared with a few brothers and sisters, but it is also a little bit of my heart, please accept it with a smile." ”
Qiu Zeyuan smiled from ear to ear and said, "As long as it is given by Yu Hao, my uncle will like it, take it out." ”
Tong Yuhui took out a pair of small sugar figures of different shapes from the side of the case, including the little people wearing winter clothes for snowball fights, the little people flying kites under the green grass and blue sky in spring, the little people playing in the lotus pond in the cool summer, and the little people harvesting wheat fields in the golden autumn years......
Xin Dai smiled and said: "What a cute little thing, I really didn't expect Yu Hao's hands to be so clever." These portrayals are really three-pointed, and my uncle and mother are reluctant to eat them. ”
Bai Qiaoxuan saw that his sister didn't take out his congratulatory gift, so he hurriedly reminded: "Ayin, it's your turn." ”
"What's my turn?" Bai Jiayin innocently blinked her two big eyes.
Bai Qiaoxuan frowned and whispered, "Congratulatory gift." ”
"I've given it, haven't you seen so many little sugar people?"
"Isn't that a congratulatory gift from Yu Hao?!" Bai Qiaoxuan felt that he was going to be mad by his sister, but he still kept his voice very low.
"I did it with him, otherwise do you think you can make such a beautiful little sugar man with his clumsy appearance?"
Bai Qiaoxuan thought to himself that he and Yiyou, Qiu Lingwei and Tong Yuqing are both people with a marriage contract, there is nothing wrong with a joint gift, what is the matter with my sister and Yuhao giving a gift together?
At this moment, Qiu Zeyuan's voice suddenly came, "Qiao Xuan, what are you talking to Ayin there?" Isn't it normal for small children to play together? Why should you be so serious? ”
"Yuhao, Ayin, I like your congratulatory gifts very much, but when you do anything together in the future, you must remember to show your parents and brothers."
Tong Yuhao and Bai Jiayin responded in unison, and then returned to their seats one after another.
Qiu Zeyuan looked at Tong Fengyi and his wife, Tong Fengyi smiled drunkenly: "What are you looking at?" Why don't you come over to toast me? At today's feast, do you still want to hold your Overseer's shelf and wait for me to toast? ”
Qiu Zeyuan and Xin Daiyi looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads helplessly, no matter how old they were, Tong Fengyi still couldn't change his stubborn nature, so the two walked hand in hand to Tong Fengyi and his wife with wine glasses, Qiu Zeyuan joked: "The little brother is just starting out, and I ask my brother and sister-in-law to give me more advice in the future." ”
Tong Fengyi laughed and said: "There is no need to advise, as long as in the future, you will do the work and I will take care of the money, I will be satisfied." ”
Qiu Zeyuan glared at him fiercely, and said with a plan: "Okay, you will do the work in the future, and I will take care of the money." ”
Tong Fengyi was already nine points drunk, and he didn't hear anything wrong with Qiu Zeyuan's words at all, which made Xin Daiyi and He Yanjun laugh.
When Xin Daiyi held back her smile, she raised her glass and said: "Thank you Brother Feng Yi and sister-in-law for being with me for many years, with you, Zeyuan and I have such a good day today, and my little sister will do it first as respect." ”
Tong Fengyi suddenly felt that his eyelids were hot, and he hurriedly raised his head and hurriedly covered it by drinking, but as soon as he lowered his head, he felt that behind Xin Daiyi, there was a black shadow flickering next to the eaves in the distance, and he shook his dizzy head vigorously, making sure that it was not his hallucination, but that there was really a person who was bending his bow and arrows, and the arrow was pointed directly at Qiu Zeyuan!
"Be careful!" In a hurry, Tong Fengyi suddenly pushed Qiu Zeyuan to the east side, and he didn't stabilize his body and planted it heavily with Qiu Zeyuan, just when Tong Fengyi thought he had escaped a catastrophe, a drop of blood dripped onto his face, his pupils became bigger and bigger, but he couldn't hide from the red that gathered more and more in his eyes, and when his entire face was covered by the falling red tulle cloth, a red figure also fell beside him, and it was falling into Qiu Zeyuan's arms......
That red figure was Xin Daiyuan, it turned out that Xin Daiyu turned around and saw an arrow aimed at Qiu Zeyuan just now, she rushed to Qiu Zeyuan desperately and protected him in front of him......
"Wo'er!" Qiu Zeyuan picked up Xin Daihuai, who was pale and spitting black blood, and tears rushed out of his eyes and fell on Xin Daiyi's pale cheeks.
"You......" Xin Daiyu just said a word, and the black blood in her mouth seemed to gush out of a spring, and it instantly blackened Qiu Zeyuan's hands holding her.
Yiyou was originally frightened by the sudden disaster and hid in Bai Qiaoxuan's arms, but when she saw the thief's poisonous arrow hitting Xin Daixuan, she cried and rushed to Xin Daixuan's side, begging over and over again: "Auntie, aunt, don't scare Youyou, what's wrong with you......"
Qiu Zeyuan cried bitterly, and said in a mournful voice: "Xiao'er, don't speak, I'll take you to the doctor, you can't be fine, you won't be fine......"
But Qiu Zeyuan just picked up Xin Daiyi's body, and the black blood on her back flowed more fiercely, Qiu Zeyuan hurriedly put her down again, and in this move, Xin Daiyuan seemed to see an extremely bright and strong white light, sucking her to another world without joy and grief, this should be the legendary time, in this beam, she saw her whole life......
Time you wait for me, wait for me to settle the last concern in this world...... Qiu Ze saw that Xin Daiyu didn't move an inch of his fingers desperately, as if he wanted to hold Yiyou, he hurriedly grabbed Yiyou's hand, pressed her hand to Xin Daiyu's hand, and he came to her mouth again, trying to listen to what she wanted to say, but it was useless, she couldn't make a sound at all.
Xin Daiyi's remaining consciousness was gradually absorbed by the beam of light with endless power, Qiu Ze saw her eyelashes fluttering slightly like butterfly wings slowly still, and he was overwhelmed with grief, he hugged her body to death, and endless bitter tears soaked Xin Daihuai's face that would never smile at him again.
Wo'er, Wo'er, I beg you to wake up, I beg you to open your eyes and look at me, we have just married, you can't just leave me like this......
Yiyou knelt in front of Xin Daiyi's body and couldn't cry, she kept shaking Xin Daiyi's hand, crying and begging: "Auntie, wake up, you can't leave me, I promised you to marry well, I'm so obedient, you also have to keep your promise, don't you?" You promised to marry me......"
In the eyes of Qiu Zeyuan and Yiyou, it seems that thousands of years of time are just a few moments in the eyes of others, He Yanjun and Tong Yuqing were first shocked by this sudden change, and then saddened by Xin Daiyu's death, and they all secretly wept in place.
Bai Qiaoxuan wanted to fly to chase the murderer the moment the tragedy happened, but the intention that jumped into his arms stopped him, and when he looked back, the murderer had already fled. Bai Jiayin was so frightened that she got under the case, and Tong Yuhao stayed by her side in order to protect her. Qiu Lingwei saw that Xin Daiwei died in front of his eyes, so he turned around and walked towards the murderer, this brute! How dare you advocate and commit such a murderous act?!
Hearing the sound of everyone crying or crying, Tong Fengyi's wine all dispersed, he took off the red tulle shawl covering his face, walked to Qiu Zeyuan's side, and said with a smile: "Zeyuan, what are you crying about?" Can't you see that she is playing around with you? ”
Qiu Zeyuan heard the voice and looked at Tong Fengyi angrily, Tong Fengyi seemed to be stared at by him uncomfortably, and as if he didn't notice his gaze at all, and still smiled and said: "Have you forgotten that when we were young, we took Xiao'er out to play, and she didn't want to leave, so she lay on the ground?" ”
As if remembering something, he muttered to himself: "Oh, you may not know, you have been guarding your family Dai Xun at that time, you should not know how bad a child is when she is unreasonable." But if you carry her, she'll wake up halfway through and pull your ears. Carry her back to her room, she will wake up, you trust me. ”
Qiu Zeyuan was originally very angry that Feng Yi was joking at this time, but the more he listened to it, the more he understood that he was not joking at all......
Qiu Zeyuan's heart was filled with layers of regret and sourness. He and Tong Fengyi have known each other for more than 40 years, but he has never known it, and now he knows who he is concerned about and longing for! Qiu Zeyuan, you are really a friend in vain, and you are so selfish! You only care about the woman you love, and you forget everyone around you except her! Not only can't you see the woman who loves you, but you can't even see your brother's joys and sorrows!
Tong Fengyi saw that Qiu Zeyuan was crying all the time, and said hurriedly: "I told you that Xiao'er is cheating, why are you crying?" If you don't carry me, I'll coax her. Saying that, Tong Fengyi took Xin Daiyi from Qiu Zeyuan's arms, ignoring the blood stains on his hands and body, he gently shook her, just like when he was a child, coaxing her to sleep with a particularly annoying and petite cuteness, he leaned in her ear and whispered: "Xiao'er, you have slept for so long, your favorite green plum tree has borne fruit, don't you want to open your eyes and see?" This time it has produced a lot of fruits, and it can make you a lot of green plum soup, and I'll brew it for you when I go back, okay? But wake up and pick fruit with me. Little lazy worm, if you don't wake up, you're going to become a little fat pig, if you become a little fat pig, I don't like you, if I don't like you, you won't have green plum soup to drink......"
It's a pity that Tong Fengyi no matter what he says, this time, the little lazy worm really won't wake up......
Tong Fengyi didn't know how long he was stunned, and then leaned into her ear and whispered: "Xiao'er, I made a big mistake, after I admit my mistake to you, will you wake up?" I don't know when I fell in love with you, maybe it was the first time you drooled all over me, or maybe it was the first time you fell asleep on my back...... I love you for too long, too long...... But because I knew that you loved Zeyuan, I had the idea of retreating, thinking that he was kind-hearted and would not let you be wronged, I was wrong, you have been wronged for him all your life, I shouldn't fight, so I will give you to him. Also, in order to bear the burden of the child's family, I completely gave up marrying you from a military family, I was wrong, I shouldn't have watched you enter the Qiu family for the sake of the family, and from then on I was far away from my relatives. I have told you all about my sins, can you forgive me and we will live again together? Let's throw away the burden on our shoulders and run away together, okay? ”
In addition to the mourning and cries of the people around him, there was only the desolate wind swept by madness, and He Yanjun, who was full of tears, walked to her husband's side step by step, choked and persuaded: "Feng Yi, let's go home......"
Tong Fengyi was the time when the grass and trees were soldiers, He Yanjun had just touched his body, he grabbed He Yanjun's wrist with his backhand, and his strength was so great that he was about to crush her wrist bone, but He Yanjun didn't shout or scream, only a face was white with pain, she looked directly into Tong Fengyi's eyes, and said word by word: "Feng Yi, I'm Yanjun." ”
Tong Fengyi's consciousness gradually sobered up, and he slowly let go of He Yanjun. Tong Yuqing hurriedly ran over to check the injury on her mother's wrist, and saw that her jade bowl was swollen, blue and purple, and hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll take you to the medicine." ”
He Yanjun shook his head and said to his daughter: "I'm guarding your father here, you take Yiyou, Yuhao and Ayin back to the room first, and don't go out until you see us." ”
Tong Yuqing just wanted to refuse, but she heard her mother say: "This scene is not stable, are you still worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Tong family and the future wife of the Overseer?!" Just go! Gather the guards and protect them. ”
Tong Yuqing was silent for a moment, then turned around and left with Yiyou and the others.
After Tong Yuqing left, He Yanjun called Bai Qiaoxuan to him again, and said in a low voice: "Qiao Xuan, you immediately send someone to keep an eye on Qiu Lingxuan now, send out all your trusted brothers, guard the gate of the Overseer's Mansion, the main road in front of the gate, and the four gates of Yejin, and immediately close the gates of the Overseer's Mansion and the gate of Yejin, except for the order of the Overseer, strictly prohibit all personnel from entering and leaving, do you understand?" ”
Bai Qiaoxuan thought that Tong Yuqing's shrewdness and courage were all inherited from his father, but now he understood that He Yanjun's teachings were also very important to Tong Yuqing, and the momentum of her women who did not let her eyebrows look like He Yanjun.
"Qiao Xuan understands that he will not let the situation of the Overseer's Mansion spread, and he will definitely not let those who have a heart take advantage of the gap." After saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan immediately went out of the mansion to lay out.
He Yanjun settled the internal and external affairs of the Overseer's Mansion, walked to Qiu Zeyuan's side and said softly: "Zeyuan, now is not the time for us to be sad, it is you who that person wants to kill, he didn't succeed, he will definitely come again, you have to cheer up, protect yourself, you can't let Dai die in vain, you have to avenge her!" The fact that he knows the terrain of the Overseer's Mansion so well, and that today's feast is being held in the back garden, means that he must be there for us and know what we are doing. You have to be more cautious! ”
Qiu Zeyuan raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, but saw that his hands were full of blood that had not yet dried, his eyes became sharper and sharper, and more and more cold, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Go and find Mo Fen." ”
He Yanjun hurriedly sent someone to invite Mo Fen, and she squatted next to Tong Fengyi, who was holding Xin Daiyi and her eyes were unblinking, and said softly: "Feng Yi, come back to the room with me to rest for a while......"
"Go back to him, he's still waiting for you." Tong Feng's voice was like a thread.
He Yanjun was stunned, he didn't understand what he meant by his headless words, but he didn't dare to ask for fear of stimulating him.
Tong Fengyi said again: "Now that no one can contain us, I will let you go and live the life of your dreams." ”
Only then did He Yanjun understand what Tong Fengyi meant, and a sea of tears flooded in his heart......
If Tong Fengyi's words were placed sixteen years ago, she would definitely be released and leave without looking back, but the years have already been vicissitudes, and things are wrong, it is impossible for her to leave behind her husband who has been with her for 16 years, let alone their children......
He Yanjun grabbed Tong Fengyi and choked up: "You're tired, I'll take you home......"
Qiu Zeyuan saw Tong Fengyi stunned in place, raised his hand and smashed him on the back of the neck, and ordered the two family members to help him go to the guest room to rest, after they left, Qiu Zeyuan said to He Yanjun again: "Be optimistic about Feng Yi, I have lost Dai Yi, I can't lose him anymore......"
