The carriage drove through the streets of Yingyin, splashing a cloud of dust; There were very few people on the road, and the passing of an ordinary carriage did not seem to have much of an impact. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

From the north of the city through the straight avenue, all the way to the south of the city, there is a courtyard that is not very large; But compared with other tiled houses, it is a lot more luxurious. The carriage came to a halt in front of the mansion.

"Son-in-law, please get out of the car......"

The maid in front of the carriage stepped down, gently opened the curtain of the carriage, and whispered; I only heard one person in the car sigh lightly, and slowly got out of the car with the help of another person.

Xun Cai looked at this ordinary Guo family courtyard, and there was no wave in his heart, and he was not excited about the upcoming so-called "happy life". She looked at the maidservant on the side and asked, "But do you want to see the Guo family disciple at this moment?" ”

"It all depends on the son-in-law," the maid-in-law replied, "but the son-in-law's appearance is very unbearable, and the slave maid thinks that it is better to go to the room first and tidy up a little." ”

"Everything is up to your ......"

Under the leadership of the maidservant, Xun Cai avoided all the houses where there were people, after all, in this era, even if it was a widow, it was not easy to show her head. After a few moments, Xun Cai followed the two maids to the backyard of Guo's mansion.

"Son-in-law, please."

The maid opened the door of a house and wanted to bring Xun Cai in, but Xun Cai was helpless, but she couldn't resist like a shrew, so she could only pretend to be very indifferent and slowly walked into the house.

The room is a very ordinary room, a couch and a table, a cabinet and two screens, and a mirror for people to make up, so Xun Cai only thinks that this is Guo Yi's wife's original room.

"Son-in-law, please sit down, let the maid groom the son-in-law."

Time flies slowly, but it's fast enough for a girl to make up; Under the service of the maidservant, Xun Cai groomed, pulled his hair, powdered, dressed, and with a series of actions, Xun Cai's appearance gradually became radiant.

"Son-in-law, you are so good-looking!" As if to alleviate the oppressive atmosphere here, one of the maids deliberately laughed and said, "My master likes to read on weekdays, and the son-in-law is talented and intelligent, and with such a good look, she will definitely be valued by the master!" ”

Pretty...... Is it? Xun Cai looked at himself in the bronze mirror, although it was very hazy, but the round and pink face was still very clear; Xun Cai knew that he hadn't put on makeup for a long time...... It seems that since she was pregnant with Mu'er, her makeup has been very casual.

"If you see it...... Will you praise me? Xun Cai gently stroked his cheek and said as if talking to himself.

The maidservant didn't hear this, and continued: "Son-in-law, my master is also very handsome, and understanding, you two want to be extremely compatible, I am afraid that future generations will envy others!" ”

The other maid also smiled and agreed, but Xun Cai couldn't stop sighing in her heart, the gloom on her face was extremely sad, she only hated this girl's bad life, otherwise this alluring city, which family didn't love it?

"Son-in-law, today is a good day, and you can smile when you arrive!"

"That's right, the appearance of the son-in-law must be very good when she smiles!"

Laughing......

The corners of Xun Cai's mouth raised, but she looked a little stiff, and after a while, she said to the maid beside her: "I originally set my ambition to go to Huangquan with my deceased husband and bury a grave together; But now I have not escaped my father's persecution, and I have reached this point...... What should I do if I can't achieve what I want? ”

The handmaid's hand stopped, and he looked at Xun Cai's reflection in the bronze mirror in surprise, why is this woman still thinking about her deceased husband? She looked at the other servant, who just kept shaking her head and motioning for her to leave it alone.

"Is it okay?" Xun Cai asked softly, his words were very lively, and he was completely depressed; She stood up slowly, and said to the two maidservants beside her, "You two will dress me again, and the other will light four lamps in the house." ”

Lighting? And it's four?

"This ...... Son-in-law, it's okay to dress up again, but why light the lamp? ”

The ancients lit the lamp, there is a god three ghosts and four sayings, the third is the yang number, worship the gods; The fourth is the yin number, which worships ghosts. Even on weekdays, when burning paper, three or three sheets are burned for the gods, and four or four sheets are burned for the ghosts.

Xun Cai wanted to light four lamps in this house, but he was afraid of ...... I want to pay tribute to Yin Yu.

"If you think of me as a hostess, just do it, where do so many problems come from?"

"Yes, yes, the slave doesn't dare!"

Under Xun Cai's orders, the two hurriedly changed Xun Cai's clothes, all of which were new jewelry silk brocade, which was extremely luxurious; Four more lamps were placed in the middle of the room. When everything was disposed of, Xun Cai ordered the two of them to invite Guo Yi over, after all, the "husband and wife" had to at least meet each other.

The door of the house slowly closed, Xun Cai looked at the four lamps and was distracted, she knelt down, and prayed silently in her heart to pay tribute to her deceased husband.

"Lang Jun...... Don't be anxious. ”

………………………………

"Do you think this son-in-law is very strange, she didn't follow Xun Gong's arrangements before, but now she is very indifferent, could it be that she is brewing something?"

"I don't think so, after all, everyone has to live, this son-in-law set up four lamps to commemorate her deceased husband, I think I also want to leave the past behind and start a new life."

"It would be nice if it did, it would save us a lot of effort and we wouldn't have to spend more time watching her."

The two maidservants came to another room, which was more ornate than Xun Cai's; In the middle of the room sat a man, white and clean, very handsome, although thin, but much plumper than Yin Yu. He looked at the books quietly, and saw that someone knocked on the door and entered, it was the maidservant who served Xun Cai, so he quickly got up and asked, "Is the son-in-law arranged?" ”

"Back to the master, the son-in-law has been placed in the backyard, and now she is dressed up and waiting for her master quietly, but ......" The maid stopped talking.

"Just what?"

"The son-in-law ordered the slave and maid to light four lamps in the middle of the house, and according to the slave and maid, it was a ...... to pay tribute to her deceased husband."

"Yin Yu is it......" Guo Yi touched his chin, and then smiled: "This woman's righteousness is really admirable." Yin Yu and I have a very close relationship, and it stands to reason that this move is not in the way. Take me to her. ”

The slave and maid responded and took Guo Yi to Xun Cai's room; Guo Yi instructed the two to wait outside the house, then tidied up their clothes, seemed to be afraid of snubbing Xun Cai, pushed the door lightly, and walked in.

The candle flame flickered gently, reflecting on the wall, reflecting Xun Cai's graceful figure; Xun Cai greeted the door and said with a smile: "Guo Gongzi has arrived, and the slave family is very honored." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Guo Yi hurriedly stopped, and after a closer look, he was conquered by the woman's appearance and temperament, smiling and smiling, beautiful eyes, but that's it.

Guo Yi sat lightly opposite Xun Cai, paying great attention to his appearance, as if he was afraid that Xun Cai would not be seen at all; But Xun Cai didn't seem to care, and said: "The deceased husband often talks about the son with the slave family, and the son of the son, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all talents; The slave family doesn't know why, and they just want to talk to their son. ”

"I'm willing to talk to my son-in-law."

………………………………

The night came, but it did not last long, but in a moment, the night passed; The sky lit up again.

"The theory of the son-in-law is admired to the bottom!" Although he was just discussing with Xun Cai this night, Guo Yi became extremely impressed with this woman. This person is not only proficient in poetry, books, rituals and music, but also a rare bosom friend; For a moment, Guo Yi suddenly felt that Yin Yu had died too well.

After a night of discussion, Xun Cai didn't seem to feel tired; She saluted Guo Yi and said, "Guo Gongzi and the slave family have been discussing for a night, and they must be exhausted, so why don't you go and rest for a while." ”

Xun Cai's various remarks last night completely conquered Guo Yi's arrogant student's heart, he didn't dare to force Xun Cai to do the courtesy of Zhou Gong with him, so he could only respond, and under the leadership of the maid, he went back to rest.

"Someone!"

Hearing the summons, the maid at the door hurried in and asked, "Mistress, I don't know what to command?" ”

According to the maid, what else can a man and a woman do in the same room last night? Isn't it just chatting (don't say it's really)? In their minds, the "son-in-law" in front of them has become their hostess.

"Boil a bucket of hot water with me, I want to bathe ......" Speaking of this, Xun Cai seemed to hesitate, and seemed to be thinking about something in her heart, and finally, she sighed and said, "That's it." ”

The water was quickly boiled, and Xun Cai sent the two maids out of the ward on the grounds that it was inconvenient for others to serve, and the maid thought that she had already entered the Guo family and had nothing to take care of, so she was left alone in the room.

"Finally, I am alone...... Xun Cai looked at the four lamps in front of the couch, and vaguely seemed to see his husband who had passed away for many days, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "After all, I still haven't been able to mourn Lang Jun for enough time......

The candle flame flickered gently, and even in the daytime, Xun Cai could see his own vague shadow; Because it had been burning all night, the candle flame was basically running out, emitting a faint glow.

"Today is your first seven...... It's a pity that I'm leaving, who can Mu'er raise? And the little brother, I'm always worried about him, in case he does something out of the ordinary......"

"Hey, my father too, has a great temper all day long, and this is extremely bad for the liver, and I am afraid that it will not be long before I get seriously ill...... I hope that after his daughter leaves, the father will be able to treat his younger brother and elder brothers well. ”

Even after discussing for a day and a night, Xun Cai had no intention of remarrying Guo Yi after all; In her opinion, since she has given birth to the flesh and blood of the Yin family, how can she still serve the Guo family?

This...... Maybe it's a feudal woman's last obsession.

"Emperor E held Su hand, and the white hair gave Changsheng...... The long business is not finished, and this hatred is still negative. ”

Xun Cai took the fat powder applied to his face from the mirror table on the side, and tapped it lightly with his jade hand, like a pen, and wrote it softly on the door; The breeze outside the window floats, as if it were the sound of human footsteps. Xun Cai was scared, he was not afraid of death, what he was afraid of was being found when he was looking for death, if so, then she would no longer be able to maintain her last chastity......

The last word was only half written, and Xun Cai stopped, as if he was afraid of missing the time; She removed the cloth strap from her waist, tested its toughness, and found a slightly taller cabinet from the room to put on her toes. She hung the ribbon in the air and tied it in a knot, and just as she was about to stick her head into it, she remembered all kinds of images......

When she was young, she was treated kindly by her father, who at that time felt that he was the greatest and tallest man in the world.

Growing up, his father fled overseas because of the disaster of the party, and he and his mother and brother depended on each other, although the conditions of the Xun family were more difficult at that time, but the family was happy and there was no big problem......

Later, Xun Gang was born, and although she was ecstatic when she arrived at a younger brother, she also lost her mother......

Then, she met Yin Yu, Yin Yu's talent made her extremely happy, although she was sick, but Xun Cai had decided at that time that this person would not marry in this life; Of course, without any obstacles, she succeeded.

Pity...... The father has changed, and he is no longer a middle-aged man who listens to himself as before, but a little old man who insists on going his own way, forcing his daughter to the cliff alive.

At last...... Until now, a nineteen-year-old life will fall; Life is so fast and ever-changing, I can't fight with my own life, fighting to the last second.

Perhaps, this is the sadness and helplessness of a woman......

"Mu'er...... Mother is ruthless, I only hope that you can be safe and happy with your little brother......"

The four lamps burned their last shred of oil and finally went out; Isn't that what happens to people's lives? illuminated, but at the last moment about to be extinguished, blooming their own brightest, but the faintest light, how can it not be lamentable?

The breeze blew through the window, blowing the dust written on the door, on which were written three large characters, a woman's cry for worldly injustice, but also the most valuable embodiment of her life...... Maybe after many years, I will come to watch again, just a pinch of yellow sand, flowing in the mountains and rivers-

The corpse is restored.

return the body to the Yin family......
