Chapter 109: Wisteria Blossoms
Tong Yuqing pointed to the room and replied with a smile: "At least wait for Ziting's injury to heal......
Speaking of Qing Ziting's injury, Mi Lan still had some weakness, "Okay, let's say it, Gongzi's injury is healed, you can ...... Don't let me get along with Shuque. And don't forget, plead for us in front of the Overseers, we really didn't expect Childe to get hurt. ”
This time, Tong Yuqing had a cold face, and said helplessly: "I know, you originally wanted me to be injured." ”
Mi Lan said again: "No matter what happens to the son these days, he is not allowed to call Shuque. It's up to you to do it yourself. ”
Facing Mi Lan's high pressure, Tong Yuqing had no choice but to bow her head, "Hmm." ”
"Let's go back to the room, I'll go back to sleep too," Mi Lan yawned and sighed, "Oops...... You guys really don't make people feel easy......"
Tong Yuqing pushed her out, "Yes, it's your old mother, go back and rest......"
After Qing Ziting woke up, he wanted to let Shuque support him and try to get up, but he didn't expect Tong Yuqing to come in.
Qing Ziting asked, "Hasn't Shuque come back yet?" ”
Tong Yuqing shook her head, "He's back, but he's caught the cold." I'm afraid he'll infect you, so I'll let him rest in the next few days. If you have anything to do, just call me. ”
Qing Ziting didn't suspect at all, but after all, he was injured in his waist, and many things were inconvenient, so he couldn't let Tong Yuqing help, so he said: "Then you can help me call Wei Qing and ask him to send a family member to the island." ”
Tong Yuqing didn't expect this, the book is not good, and Gu Weiqing! She can't say that all the family members in the Gu Mansion are infected with the cold......
"Okay, I'll go prepare breakfast first, and when I'm done with breakfast, I'll call Weiqing again."
After Tong Yuqing came out, she said to Mi Lan, "Did you hear that? It's not that I don't want to take care of him. ”
Mi Lan glanced at her and looked into the room again, "Why is Childe so unenlightened?" I can't tell him this, and Shuque is said to be sick again. ”
Mi Lan complained and complained, but she still had to let Shuque pretend to be sick, take the family into the island, and take care of Qing Ziting.
During the period when Qing Ziting was recuperating from her injury, Tong Yuqing often sat on the wisteria swing in a daze, and all kinds of past intermingled surfaced. Any decision she made before was justified, which also led to the fact that any decision she made was not for feelings. She never had the luxury of expecting that her marriage was for love. So when reality really gave her the opportunity to marry for love, she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
She kept thinking, Bai Qiaoxuan and Qing Ziting, which one do they love? said that she loved Bai Qiaoxuan, she once gave up him for the family. said that she loved Qing Ziting, but she didn't have so much confidence in her heart. Perhaps, she loves both of these two men. Or perhaps, she doesn't love either of these two men.
Tong Yuqing felt that her head was about to explode, and this problem seemed to be more difficult than any of the problems she had dealt with before. The only thing she knows is that she must see her heart clearly and make decisions with her own heart, not reason, otherwise it will be unfair to herself, Qing Ziting, and Bai Qiaoxuan.
A scream interrupted Tong Yuqing's thoughts, "Someone! Someone's coming! Childe has fallen overboard! ”
Tong Yuqing hurriedly chased the sound, and saw that Qing Ziting was struggling in the river, so she jumped into the river without thinking about it, grabbed the pole handed by the housekeeper, and dragged Qing Ziting up.
"Zi Ting, Zi Ting!" Tong Yuqing saw that he didn't react, and kept pressing his heart.
Qing Ziting finally spit out the stagnant water, Shu Que and Mi Lan rushed over when they heard the sound, Shu Que hurriedly wrapped Qing Ziting in a quilt and carried it back to the house, and Mi Lan also put on a dress for Tong Yuqing.
Tong Yuqing turned her head and scolded: "Let you take care of Ziting, how did you take care of him in the river?" Don't you know how deep that river is?! If Ziting has a recurrence of cold disease, see if I don't peel off your skin?! ”
The family was so frightened that he had no master, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "The second young grandmother spared her life, the second young master just said that it was cold, and the little one went to get him a dress." Whoever wants to come back sees the second young master fall into the river...... The second young grandmother spared her life......"
Tong Yuqing wanted to scold again, but Mi Lan stopped her, "You're all soaked, let's go back and change into dry clothes, don't catch a cold." It is not too late to talk about this man's sin later. ”
Saying that, Mi Lan hugged her and walked back, Tong Yuqing shivered several times as soon as she entered the house, and Mi Lan immediately boiled a bucket of hot water for her and asked her to take a hot bath.
After Tong Yuqing took care of herself, she immediately rushed to the main room to check on Qing Ziting's situation. As expected, Qing Ziting's cold illness was hooked by the cold river water. Shuque is decocting medicine for him. The family had been kneeling outside the door, and after Tong Yuqing calmed down, he understood that it was not his fault that this matter was not his fault, but just where he came from and where he went back.
Qing Ziting had a high fever for a day and a night, and it was not until the afternoon of the second day that he woke up. He saw Tong Yuqing asleep by the bed, and wanted to put a dress on her, but woke her up.
Tong Yuqing saw Qing Ziting wake up, she was surprised and happy, and asked him if he was thirsty for a while, and asked him if he was hungry for a while.
Qing Ziting held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "How long have you been guarding here?" Go get some sleep. ”
Tong Yuqing handed him a glass of water and said with a smile: "It's not in the way." By the way, why did you fall into the river so carelessly! ”
Qing Ziting replied: "I saw a lotus lantern floating on the river, and remembered that you said that you loved to put river lanterns when you were a child, so I wanted to pick it up and show you, but I didn't expect the riverbank to be so slippery." ”
Tong Yuqing sighed: "It's not that I haven't seen a lotus lantern, even if I want to, I can buy one on the island." You don't have to risk picking up the lights in the river. The Scarlet Sleeve River is so deep, your back injury is not fully healed, and you don't know how much water, something really happened, how worthwhile it is! It can't be like that again. ”
Qing Ziting replied gently: "I know." ”
Tong Yuqing said: "Then you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't go out if you have nothing to do these days." I'm going to rest next door, and if you knock on the wall, I'll hear you. ”
Accompanied by Tong Yuqing, Qing Ziting improved very quickly, and when she recovered, the wisteria flowers were still in full bloom.
Seeing that Qing Ziting was recovered, Mi Lan immediately carried Tong Yuqing's futon back to the main room, for fear that she would forget her previous promise.
Tong Yuqing had been accompanying Qing Ziting outside to bask in the sun, and she didn't notice Mi Lan's actions. When she saw the North Mountain on the opposite bank being illuminated by the sun, she excitedly pointed to the opposite bank and shouted, "Ziting, look! ”
The sunlight shone on Tong Yuqing's crystal clear purple jade bracelet, refracting a dazzling light, Qing Ziting couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his vision, Tong Yuqing thought he was unwell, and hurriedly asked, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”
Qing Ziting put down his hand and smiled gently, "It's okay, it's just that my eyes were just shaken by the sun." ”
Saying that, Qing Ziting pulled Tong Yuqing's left hand, rubbed the purple jade bracelet with warm tentacles, and said, "I remember the first time I saw you, you wore this purple jade bracelet on your wrist, and when I saw you again, it seems that I never saw you take it off." Have you worn it since you were a child? ”
Tong Yuqing retracted her hand weakly, turned around and didn't dare to look him in the eyes, "No." ”
Tong Yuqing wanted to take off the bracelet, but forgot that it had been with her for nearly five years, and it was not easy to take it off.
Qing Ziting noticed her strange appearance and asked tentatively, "This jade bracelet ...... Did he give it to you? ”
Tong Yuqing buried her head deeper, Qing Ziting pulled her around, stroked the purple jade bracelet, and said softly: "Although I don't know much about jade, I can also see that it is a priceless treasure." Even if I send it, I can't send a jade bracelet that is better than it and matches you, so you allow me to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and when it is given to you by me, don't take it off, okay? ”
How could Tong Yuqing not know that he was thinking about himself again? Her heart was warmer than today's sunshine, and she let out a low "um".
When Tong Yuqing saw the futon at night, she knew that it was a good thing that Mi Lan did, but it was one thing to think about it, and it was another thing to do it. She wrapped around her belt, thought left and right, tossed and turned, and finally turned her heart sideways, turned over and hugged Qing Ziting.
Tong Yuqing's movements made Qing Ziting's consciousness that was about to wander back at once, he was so stiff that he couldn't move, and after a long pause, he looked down at Tong Yuqing, and saw that this was not an unintentional move in her sleep, and his throat slid unconsciously, "If ...... If...... Ruo Wan ......"
Tong Yuqing didn't dare to look at him, but just tightened her jade arm and buried her head in his arms. Qing Ziting seemed to be holding a piece of coal, and his whole body was burned hot, but he still tried his best to pull back a little bit of his sense, and asked softly: "Ruojia, have you really thought it through?" Now, we can attack and defend. But if it is...... There is no way back...... You must not be impulsive because of sympathy or emotion. I don't need you ......."
"I love you."
Tong Yuqing's three words were like the loud sound when Pangu opened the world, which shook Qing Ziting's eardrums, and his body seemed to float lightly out of the clouds, unable to calm down for a long time.
"You...... What to say ......"
Qing Ziting couldn't feel that her voice was trembling, but Tong Yuqing heard it clearly, she raised her body, looked directly at those warm eyes, and said word by word: "I want to be with you, not because of marriage, not because of responsibility, not because of sympathy and touching, but because, I love you." I can't predict what will happen outside in the future, and I can't promise you anything, but I promise you that on this remote dust island, I'm just your Xu Ruojiao. ”
Inside the soft saro tent, there is a beautiful spring. The evening breeze is not willing to be lonely, blowing through the wisteria flowers outside the window, making them turn into purple butterflies, together with the stars in the sky, outlining a dreamlike night......
After a cloud and rain, Qing Ziting rubbed Xu Ruoyuan's palm prints and asked softly: "Er, who chose the name Xu Ruowei for you?" ”
Xu Ruowan smiled and said: "I took it myself, what's the matter, isn't it good?" ”
Qing Ziting's eyes bent into a bridge, "No, I just want to ask, how did you come up with such a nice name?" ”
Xu Ruojiao's smile was charming, "When I was young, I didn't understand anything, but I just thought the word promise was particularly beautiful, and it just so happened that my father asked me not to use my real name when I went out, so I took Xu as my surname and opened the word promise. ”
Qing Ziting gently stroked her green silk and said softly: "It seems that I should make you a promise and fulfill your dream." ”
Xu Ruowan smiled faintly, "I said it all, it was a dream when I didn't understand anything." I've long figured out that promises are an ornament when you want to keep them, and it's also an ornament when you don't want to keep them. ”
Qing Ziting hugged her and said, "You can't say that, at least you can't say this to me." For the promise I made to you will always be valid. ”
Xu Ruojiao giggled, "Sweet words, why didn't you find out that you had this potential before?" ”
Qing Ziting laughed and said: "There are still many things you haven't discovered, but the future is long, and you have a lot of time to discover, or create." ”
Xu Ruowei said thoughtlessly, "It's good." ”
Qing Ziting saw her long eyelashes flickering like butterfly wings, couldn't help but kiss her eyes, and asked, "What's so good?" ”
Xu Ruoyan curled up in his shoulder socket and muttered, "It's good to have you." I never dared to spend my life with the people I loved, but God sent you to me! In this way, God still treats me well. ”
Qing Ziting's heart was mixed, a little happy, a little sad, and in the end, it turned into a powerful hug, "Juan'er, do you know what the flower language of wisteria is?" ”
Xu Ruojiao recalled for a long time and said: "It seems to be an intoxicating longing......"
"No," Qing Ziting said slowly: "I was born for love and died for love." I was born for you in this life. ”
Xu Ruoyan was not moved, but frowned, "I don't like this flower language, let's think she is an intoxicating thought." ”
Qing Ziting thought for a long time and didn't understand why Xu Ruojuan didn't like this sentence, Xu Ruojuan looked at his stupid appearance, and said angrily: "I don't want you to live for me, let alone you die for me, as long as you accompany me through this life safely, you know?" ”
Qing Ziting then understood where this sentence made her unhappy, and a warm current flowed in her heart, hugged her and said, "Okay." I promise you, if you don't leave, I won't forsake you. ”
In the middle of summer, news came from Jindu that everything was ready in Xindu, and the magnates of Puxin Prefecture led by Lu Tiansheng were going to move to Puhe, the new capital, so Lu Tiansheng came in advance to ask Qing Ziting and Xu Ruojiao if they wanted to go with him.
Qing Ziting politely declined his father's kindness, saying that they still had a New Year's holiday and went back to reunite with him. Although Lu Tiansheng was a little disappointed, he also expected his son to say this, so he told them to have children as soon as possible, take care of themselves, and find Gu Weiqing if there is anything.
Qing Ziting responded one by one, told Xu Ruohuan beside him about the relocation of the capital, and also mentioned that Gu Huaijue and his wife would go to Puhe with Lu Tiansheng, and Gu Weihong would serve as the prefect of Ningtai.
Xu Ruowei was not surprised, "It is a matter of time before Third Brother Gu becomes the prefect of Ningtai. Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu can also enjoy their old age in peace. ”
The lives of the two seem to be the same as before, but they seem to be different from before, this feeling is indescribable, maybe it is the warmth in each other's eyes when they look at each other, maybe it is the more tacit action when they are rowing their scarlet sleeves, or it is the sigh that they all sigh when they flip through the books......
On this day, Qing Ziting and Xu Ruojiao got up early and went to climb Beishan. Shuque is a thousand and ten thousand are not at ease, so they have to go with the two of them. Qing Ziting tried his best to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him. Or Mi Lan grabbed Shuque's collar with one hand and dragged him down from the boat, "The couple are going to climb the mountain to relax, what are you doing with it?" Madame takes care of her son, isn't she more considerate and thoughtful than you? I also said that I am not interested, I think you are the least interesting in the world! Besides, you've all gone hiking, and I'm the only one to take care of such a big island, can I take care of it? You don't know how to stay and help me, so you want to be lazy with your son and wife. ”
Mi Lan's words made Shuque speechless, so he could only obediently accompany her to stay on the island. Qing Ziting and Xu Ruowei saw the situation of the two, looked at each other and smiled, and went away by boat.
In order to take care of Qing Ziting's body, Xu Ruowan stopped and stopped all the way, and when she climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already dark.
The two set up their tents and went together to chop firewood. Qing Ziting saw that Xu Ruoyan's chopping of wood was more skilled than him, and couldn't help asking, "Did you often chop firewood before?" ”
Xu Ruojiao smiled: "No." It's just that when I was young, my parents sent me to live in the countryside for a while, so I'm no stranger to chopping wood. ”
Qing Ziting felt even more strange, "Why did your father-in-law and mother-in-law send you to the countryside?" ”
Xu Ruojiao replied: "This is a rule handed down by the ancestors of the Tong family, and it is not a matter decided by my parents. The children of the mortal clan, who have reached the age of six, must go to the countryside to live for half a year. ”
Qing Ziting pondered and said: "Tong's ability to stand in Pudong for a hundred years does have his reason. The children of the aristocracy are the most likely to be arrogant, and the ancestors of the Tong family are worried that future generations will be corroded by this extravagance. ”
Xu Ruojiao bowed, "Not bad." When all dynasties go into decline, they must first begin to disintegrate from within. The ancestors set such a rule to keep in mind the origin of Tong's prosperity and the unshirkable mission on our shoulders. ”
Qing Ziting sighed again, the two of them were working and talking, and they felt that time passed quickly.
Before dawn the next day, the two got up to watch the sunrise. The morning dew was still hanging on the grass at this time, and the morning breeze was cool, sending a faint fragrance of grass, and the mist was shrouded in a layer of fairy mist nearby. Three or two rays of light gradually illuminated the distant sky, allowing them to see the steaming sea of clouds in the distance, and a round of red sun slowly rose, embracing the entire sky into her thousand rays of light. The sea of clouds that drifted and swelled with her seemed to be ecstatic for her arrival.
"Ziting, look at ......" Xu Ruoyu's words paused, she was shocked by the spectacular scene in front of her, and she didn't notice when the people around her knelt down.
Qing Ziting's eyes were shining brighter than the sunlight in the distance, and he asked softly, "Ruojiao, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Xu Ruojiao smiled and asked, "Ziting, what are you talking about?" Am I already married to you? ”
Qing Ziting replied affirmatively: "Jindu's time is not counted. That's the decision your father forced you to make, and it's a decision you made to get revenge. This time, it's the wedding that belongs to you and me. ”
Xu Ruoyan's smile froze, but she quickly laughed from the bottom of her heart again, and replied softly, "I am willing." ”
Qing Ziting picked her up and turned around excitedly countless times, and laughter full of joy kept echoing in the mountains and forests. After a while, Qing Ziting put down Xu Ruowei and shouted at the end of the sky: "Ruohuan promised to marry me!" ”
Xu Ruojiao also shouted with a smile: "I'm going to marry Ziting!" ”
The two men were like crazy, announcing their happiness to the heavens and the earth, the mountain wind cheered for them, and the glow of the sun jumped for them.
Half a day later, as soon as the two of them went down to the halfway point of the mountain, they met Gu Weiqing who came in a hurry, and he sighed breathlessly: "Oops! Two little ancestors! What kind of mountain do you think you're going to climb at this time? It's so hard for me to find! Come with me, something happened to Puhe, and your eldest brother rebelled! ”
The comfortable and happy life is intoxicating, and they all forget that there are still ties in the mortal world, so when the stories of those people reach their ears, they are all stunned and at a loss.
Or Xu Ruojiao recovered from the shock first and asked, "Then what is the situation of the eldest brother now?" ”
Gu Weiqing stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "I don't know!" My father only told me that Jingwu tried to murder the Overseers on the way to move the capital, and was defeated and captured. All that's left is for me to quickly pick you up and take you to Puhe and intercede for Jingwu. Come with me. ”
Qing Ziting was still stunned, Xu Ruoyan tugged at Qing Ziting's sleeve, "Ziting, Ziting!" ”
Qing Ziting suddenly grabbed Gu Weiqing's shoulder and asked in a panic, "Will my father really kill my eldest brother?" That's his son! There's no way he's going to kill him, is he? Isn't it?! ”
Xu Ruowei hugged Qing Ziting, "Ziting, calm down." Didn't Wei Qing say it? He didn't know what was going on, and we had to find a way to save the eldest brother only when we arrived at Puhe and asked about the situation. ”
Qing Ziting held Xu Ruoyao's shoulder again, "Er, do you have a way?" You have a way to save Big Brother, don't you? ”
Xu Ruowan could only say that she would stabilize Qing Ziting's mood first and take him away from Beishan.
On the way, Qing Ziting kept asking her eldest brother if there would be anything, Tong Yuqing could only say over and over again that it was okay, but she was actually a bottomless pit in her heart, and she didn't know if Lu Tiansheng would kill Lu Jingwu because of this. Speaking of killing, Lu Jingwu is Lu Tiansheng's biological son after all; said not to kill, after all, Lu Jingwu committed a great crime of killing the king, if even this crime can be easily forgiven, then wouldn't the country that had just stabilized be shaken again? I'm afraid that the most difficult thing now is not her and Qing Ziting, but Lu Tiansheng.
After they arrived at Puhe, they immediately went to see Gu Huaijue and knew what had happened.
Gu Huaijue's voice was low, his eyes were dark, and he obviously hadn't closed his eyes for several days and nights, "I have already gone to the prison to ask Jingwu, and he is sincere to me, and he has explained the matter clearly......"
