Chapter 64: Qingge Revisits
Qiu Qingge really came to Peng's Mansion as promised, but she didn't know why she came. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMaybe it was just because of the greetings on the street that day, which made her subconsciously feel that Peng Yue's invitation was not a joke, maybe she was just looking for a reason for herself, a reasonable excuse to meet someone, in short, she still walked to the door of Peng's mansion like a ghost.
Although Ziling was a little surprised, and even hid a trace of reluctance, she still welcomed Qiu Qingge in with joy on her face, no matter what, what she knew later, the kindness of her heart, made her feel... She is ashamed of Qiu Qingge.
Peng Yue was also surprised and happy when he saw Qiu Qingge coming, but Ziling was beside him, and he couldn't be too excited, so he could only follow the two into the living room, and told his subordinates to prepare the meal well, saying that there was a distinguished guest coming.
"Sister Qingge, since you arrived in the capital a few days ago, why are you here now, isn't it a little different?" Ziling sat on the main seat, and now her words and deeds are quite like a lady, "You were in that room before, but I can keep it for you..."When Ziling said this, although she was smiling at Qiu Qingge, she glanced at Peng Yue intentionally or unintentionally.
"Really?" When Qiu Qingge heard this, his heart was full of relief and emotion, and he couldn't help but glance at Peng Yue as well, so he hurriedly took his gaze back, "Then I'm here to thank Sister Ling'er..."
"Don't thank me..."Ziling smiled, and didn't continue, "Let's eat here tonight, don't go... By the way, there is some new tea at home, which I just brought back from the south a few days ago, and I just gave it to Sister Qingge to taste..."
"Wei'er, take out the Ming Qian tea that Brother Yun brought back from the south a few days ago and make a pot..." Ziling waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take the old tea in front of him.
"Yes, ma'am," Hongwei replied and walked towards the inner hall.
"Ma'am?" Qiu Qingge's heart trembled when he heard this unfamiliar title, thinking about the situation more than half a year ago, it was really different, everything had changed, hadn't it?
"Sister Qingge, try this newly picked Mingqian tea, this tea is fresh and tender, the yield is small, it is very precious, if it weren't for Sister Qingge, I wouldn't be willing to take it out." Ziling smiled and asked, and took a sip of herself.
Qiu Qingge politely thanked Ziling, and tasted it a little tastelessly. For some reason, as soon as she walked into this courtyard, she felt a little uncomfortable. And Ziling's host-like warm greeting made her a little uncomfortable, a little unwilling, and a little helpless and heartache.
"This tea tastes pure, resistant to brewing, and even the soup color of this tea looks green and bright..."Ziling is still patiently explaining the goodness of this tea." If it weren't for Brother Yun's going to the south, I would have been able to bring back some of this tea, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to drink it. Ziling said while looking at Peng Yue with a happy face.
Peng Yue smiled awkwardly, and it was difficult to say anything. He originally wanted to entertain Qiu Qingge in person, but Ziling insisted that she sit on the main seat to entertain her. Peng Yuexin thought that Ziling was afraid that he would have too much contact with Qiu Qingge, but now that Ziling was pregnant, he didn't dare to object, so he had to sit down with a smile, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, just listened to the two of them chattering.
"In the courtyard just now, I saw that a lot of flowers and branches on the road were gone, but it was not as gorgeous as before." Qiu Qingge said faintly, just wanting to get around this topic quickly.
"Sister Qingge still remembers what this courtyard looked like before?" Ziling smiled: "I have a body, Brother Yun is afraid that I will tripped when I am walking in this courtyard, so he ordered someone to cut down all the flower branches on the road..."
Ziling had no intention of talking about it, but to Qiu Qingge's ears, it seemed to be a kind of ridicule, a kind of show-off, she was always in her words Peng Yue, and after getting married, she was still a "Brother Yun"! Qiu Qingge only felt that some blood was surging, so he simply closed his mouth, just sipping the tea in front of him intentionally or unintentionally.
"I heard Brother Yun say that Sister Qingge... The marriage was postponed, but there was such a thing? Ziling inquired a little cautiously, she had been a little worried about this matter, she was afraid that Qiu Qingge still couldn't forget Peng Yue, although she knew that even if she asked, Qiu Qingge would not say what she really thought in her heart, but she still couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Yun again! She even asked about my marriage! Qiu Qingge felt aggrieved in his heart. When she said about the marriage that day, she was in a hurry, and now how can she marry someone else.
She still remembers that she was in a hurry and fled back to the northwest, ready to follow her father's arrangement. But when he arrived in the northwest, he realized that the marriage arranged for him by his father was actually for political purposes. Not to mention that the other party is a military general, and he is much older than himself, and even what he looks like, Qiu Luan has not really seen it. How could the love she longed for in her heart be like this, Qiu Qingge was unwilling and unconvinced, she couldn't accept such an ending, so after thinking about it, she still fled back to Jingshi.
Although her father kept writing letters urging her, she still tried her best to shirk the blame, but who knows the difficulties and contradictions in her heart, and who she can tell to? He is actually "over-consuming" his father's favor for him now, if one day his father is really forced by himself and has no patience, maybe he will be pulled back and forced to marry, if it really comes to that point, Qiu Qingge doesn't know what to do.
And now Ziling, who is married to Peng Yue, actually took the initiative to ask about it, how could Qiu Qingge not be angry in his heart? Thinking of the past, she really couldn't help herself at the moment.
"Well, yes... I postponed..."Qiu Qingge forcibly suppressed the grievances in his heart, and there was still a trace of anger.
"That Sister Qingge is going to be faster, now... But they are all past the age of marriage. Ziling stuck out her tongue and said a little mischievously. She also regarded Qiu Qingge as the big sister who could confide her heart in the past, and she didn't care much when she spoke, but she didn't know that in Qiu Qingge's heart, she was no longer the "sister Ling'er", but Peng Yue's wife, who was hers...
"Ling'er..." Peng Yue couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard this, and wanted to glare at her fiercely, but after all, he still took back his sharp gaze and glanced at her instead, and a playful smile appeared on his face, "Ling'er, what's the matter?" I want to be a matchmaker, are you still here to worry about this kind of thing? ”
When Qiu Qingge heard this, she was even more angry, thinking of Ziling announcing her marriage to Peng Yue in the garden that day, thinking of her countless nights of inner struggle, and thinking of Ziling's naked "showing off" just now, she couldn't help it anymore, and got up and owed: "It's not too early, I think... It's time for me to go. Looking at Peng Yue, his expression was also a little wrong. But thinking about the fact that he was so "insulted" just now, Peng Yue didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of protection, and he didn't even say anything serious. Yes, he is an outsider now, what reason is there to ask Peng Yue to speak to him?
"Huh? Why is Sister Qingge leaving, she said that she would have dinner here, and it is estimated that the meal has been cooked now..."Ziling stood up, and due to the inconvenience of her body, even her footsteps to Qiu Qingge's side were a little slow, "Let's stay, it's been a long time, let's talk about gossip..."
"It's really inconvenient today, there are still some things in my family..."Qiu Qingge gently broke away from the hands that Ziling was holding him, and turned his body slightly sideways.
"That..."Ziling glanced at Peng Yue, revealing a look of embarrassment.
Although Ziling didn't see it, Peng Yue was clear, he knew that Qiu Qingge was angry with Ziling, but he had no way to say anything. Now in this situation, it is estimated that what the two of them say together is not speculative, so they suppressed the intention of retaining in their hearts.
"Qingge is really leaving? Don't stay here a little longer? Peng Yue finally had a reason to look at Qiu Qingge generously at this time, but this look was a farewell look.
"I really have something about you're at home... Take good care of Sister Ling'er..."Qiu Qingge said, and a slightly bitter and reluctant smile appeared on her face, she didn't know who she was so strong for.
Without waiting for Peng Yue to answer, Qiu Qingge turned around and walked out of the house, leaving Ziling and Peng Yue, who were standing there a little at a loss, staring blankly.
"I'll send her off..."Peng Yue saw Qiu Qingge's figure getting farther and farther away, and at this time, he couldn't care about Ziling's emotions anymore, and called a subordinate to help Ziling go to the inner room to rest, and then turned around and walked out.
Qiu Qingge walked out of the house, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She was afraid that others would find out like this, so she turned a corner, so she trotted all the way, the flowers and branches on the side of the road were gone, and hot tears were sprinkled on the folds of her skirt and sprinkled on the thick earth.
"Qingge..."Peng Yue anxiously chased after him.
Qiu Qingge ran faster.
"Qingge" Peng Yue's tone was not only anxious, but also a lot of apologies.
Qiu Qingge's body didn't listen to his own call, and he unconsciously stopped.
"Qingge" Peng Yue caught up and stood opposite Qiu Qingge.
Qiu Qingge lowered his head, and the sobbing gradually stopped, but the red circles under his eyes couldn't deceive people.
Yurong is lonely and tears are dry, and a branch of pear blossoms brings spring rain. In this scene, Peng Yue really wanted to gently wipe away Qiu Qingge's tears and hug her affectionately into his arms. But he knew he couldn't, he could only look at her like this.
"Qingge... Don't get me wrong, Ziling really has no malice, she's just a scheming little girl, she just wants to..."Peng Yue explained as best he could.
"Misunderstanding what? What are you talking about..."Qiu Qingge glanced at Peng Yue, and his eyes were even more red and swollen.
"Ziling has always felt guilty about you in her heart, so she wants to treat you well, but she hasn't paid attention to her words..."Peng Yue knew Qiu Qingge's thoughts, so he could only continue to explain patiently. Don't be angry, don't be sad, in my heart actually... also has guilt..."Peng Yue has understood something since he knew that Qiu Qingge was not married. But he does love Ziling deeply in his heart now, so he can only suppress his feelings and guilt for Qiu Qingge.
Qiu Qingge listened to Peng Yue's explanation, thinking about Ziling's kindness before, thinking about Ziling's enthusiasm, and knowing that he was suspicious. Especially when I heard Peng Yue's last sentence, I felt even warmer in my heart.
"I... is not angry, let alone sad..."Qiu Qingge was still stubborn on the surface, trying to save face for herself, the expression on her face was actually betraying herself, and she couldn't help but smile, she still wanted to suppress her laughter, but she blushed, and finally laughed, there were tears on her red face, and her eyes were even more red and swollen, and her appearance was very cute.
"Then why do you still feel like you have been wronged?" Peng Yue couldn't help but joke when he saw Qiu Qingge's appearance. He didn't know if Qiu Qingge still had any resentment in his heart, so he wanted to try to ease the atmosphere and make Qiu Qingge happy.
"I... I didn't suffer any grievances, I... I just want to cry..."Qiu Qingge wanted to throw herself into Peng Yue's arms at this moment, but she couldn't, she knew that it was for herself, but also for Peng Yue.
In fact, before this, she really didn't blame Peng Yue, because she already knew what happened.
It's a coincidence, the world always pays attention to a cycle of cause and effect. Qiu Qingge had a misunderstanding of Peng Yue because of Hongwei's words before, but this knot was also untied because of Hongwei.
Just a few days after Qiu Qingge returned to Beijing, she met Hongwei on the street. Originally, Qiu Qingge still had a problem in his heart, so he also avoided Hongwei, but he didn't expect Hongwei to take the initiative to show goodwill, talk to Qiu Qingge, and intentionally or unintentionally lead the conversation to Ziling and Peng Yue.
It was in Hongwei's mouth that Qiu Qingge learned about all this, the crying of Ziling and Peng Yue, and Peng Yue's embarrassment and helplessness in this matter. Of course, Hongwei omitted the plot of sowing discord among herself, and replaced it with her bitterness and helplessness as a maid.
After Qiu Qingge listened, she didn't blame Peng Yue for her indecision, nor did she resent Ziling's entanglement with Peng Yue, she only blamed herself for being so stubborn, and she was so angry that she didn't know the facts, and gave her loved one to someone else.
If I had missed everything I could have missed, and had said what I had to say, if I had understood the situation earlier and not been provoked by emotions, would it not have been the result I have today? It's all your own fault, silent when you shouldn't be silent, weak when you should be brave, but there aren't so many things in the world that you have time to repent...
"Hey, what do you want?" Peng Yue leaned down and saw his unnatural self in Qiu Qingge's tearful eyes, "What, are you still blaming me?" ”
"How can people blame you?" Although Qiu Qingge said this, Peng Yue could see her distressing demeanor at the moment: she held back her tears and lowered her face, half frowned with shame, and her tears were like pearls, and they could not be dispersed. Peng Yue couldn't help but want to caress her smooth and fair face, but when his hand was raised, he clearly felt an unspeakable resistance. Peng Yue brushed Qiu Qingge's hanging hair instead, and helped her reach behind her ears, "Don't cry, you're like this... I feel very uncomfortable..."
Qiu Qingge's heart warmed, at the moment when Peng Yue's hand stretched out, Qiu Qingge instinctively tilted his head, but at that moment, Qiu Qingge straightened his body in the gap of pretending to bow his head, and at the same time his eyes couldn't help but close, she didn't know what Peng Yue wanted to do, but she wanted to deceive herself once, she wanted to pretend not to know, but Peng Yue's hand only stayed on her hair for a few seconds. Qiu Qingge felt a burst of relief, the nervous feeling just now finally disappeared, but it was replaced by a burst of loss.
She knows Peng Yue, she also understands Peng Yue, he said that the love of his life can only be given to one woman, and he said that he can only belong to one person. I remember that when I heard Peng Yue say this, I was still rejoicing and rejoicing, glad that I didn't see the wrong person. But now, I can only be sad and disappointed here, maybe even the last chance will be lost.
"I'm going to the south soon, the emperor is going to send the Empress Dowager Zhang back to the Xianling Mausoleum for burial, I want to go with the emperor..."
"What are you doing with me, when the time comes, your family Ling'er will miss me, I..." Qiu Qingge paused, he didn't know what to say, and his breathing became inexplicably shorter at this time. In fact, she understood what Peng Yue meant, Peng Yue was just afraid that when he was not there, he would feel embarrassed when he came to this Peng Mansion, so she reminded herself like this. So what he meant by that was to let him come a few more times while he was there? Thinking of this, Qiu Qingge couldn't help but look at Peng Yue, his eyes were still dodging, but he clearly felt that his eyes were secretly glancing at him, and a warmth hit his heart, but it made Qiu Qingge not know how to deal with himself...
In the distance, a pair of bright eyes looked at them, and gradually, the vision blurred unconsciously. She couldn't hear or see, but she clearly saw their looks, shyness, apology, intimacy..."Brother Yun", along with the voice falling in her heart, there were unstoppable tears.
