276 Sad place
Ge Ling and Cheng Yi were arranged to live in the back house of Su Mansion, which is said to be the boudoir of the original official's young lady. Because there are more rooms, Ge Ling and Cheng Yi live in one room. According to Ge Ling, Cheng Yi has been gloomy since she entered Runing City. When I got to the room, I closed the door and never came out.
During lunch, the singer went to call Cheng Yi, but did not get a reply. Ge Ling and Cheng Yi have only known each other for a few days, so they are not too familiar, so they dare not call again. Now that it's almost time for dinner, Ge Ling went to call Cheng Yi again, and found that Cheng Yi's door was still not open. Ge Ling was afraid that something would happen to Cheng Yi, so she looked through the crack in the door, and found Cheng Yi lying on the bed, her shoulders shrugged, obviously crying.
"Why do you still pick the crack in the door?" Su Hao said derogatorily.
Ge Ling retorted: "It's not that people want to pick up the cracks in the door, people are just worried about what will happen to Sister Cheng." If people don't pick up the cracks in the door, how will they know that she cried all day? ”
"What are you crying about, this witch?" Su Hao muttered.
In Su Hao's impression, it seems that he didn't cry much when he saw Cheng Yi. This girl has always been calm and calm, and she always pretends to be a lady in front of him. However, this time he asked Cheng Yi to go into the city with him, as if Cheng Yi was very unhappy, but he couldn't help it, so he had to obey. Could it be that she cried all day because of this? That's too glassy, isn't it?
When encountering this kind of children's affairs, Li Zhen will definitely not intervene, Su Hao was led by Ge Ling to the small courtyard where the girl in the back house lived. Ge Ling pointed to one of the rooms and said, "Sister Cheng lives in this room." ”
Su Hao walked to the door of the house and listened attentively, there was indeed a suppressed crying sound in the house, although it was gagged with something like a sheet, Su Hao could hear that Cheng Yi should be crying very sadly.
"Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi, open the door. I'm Su Hao. Su Hao patted the door.
The crying in the room paused for a moment, but there was no answer.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Hao asked again.
"Master Su, I'm fine......" The man in the room replied in an inaudible voice, with a little sobbing in his voice.
"Open the door, just say something." Su Hao said.
"No, thank you, Lord Su." Cheng Yi replied, after saying this. She seemed to be unable to hold back again, and once again held the quilt to cover her mouth, and began to cry.
"No, I'll have to go in and have a look." The more Su Hao thought about it, the more wrong it became, Cheng Yi would never behave like this, if something is abnormal, it must be a demon. What is it that makes Cheng Yi sad?
Thinking of this, Su Hao didn't say anything to Cheng Yi in the house anymore, he took two steps back, and then rushed forward violently, slamming his shoulder on the top of the door, and the fragile door latch was knocked away by him with a bang, and the door suddenly opened.
"Why are you so rude!" Ge Ling glared at Su Hao.
Su Hao ignored the singer. He rushed into the house and came to Cheng Yi's bed.
Cheng Yi heard the sound of the door being slammed open, so he sat up. Seeing Su Hao rushing in, she subconsciously took two steps back, leaning against the corner of the wall, still holding a sheet in her hand. Her face was covered with tears, her eyes were already swollen from crying, and she looked pitiful.
"Cheng Yi. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Su Hao stood one step away from Cheng Yi and comforted Cheng Yi with his hands, "I'm just worried about your body, that's why I made this decision, why are you so sad, can you tell me?" ”
Cheng Yi opened his mouth to say something. Unexpectedly, the tears fell again, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with a sheet to prevent herself from crying, while shaking her head desperately. It means that this matter has nothing to do with Su Hao.
Su Hao said: "I'm sorry, I know you want to live in the barracks with Yuan Yamei and them, but it's not convenient for a girl to live in my back house, so I asked you to come over to accompany her." I apologize if this upsets you. ”
Cheng Yi continued to shake her head, and then shed tears, which seemed to be intensifying.
"This ...... I know that you have a strong personality and don't want others to influence you. If you really don't want to live here, I'll arrange for someone to take you out of the city to the barracks, what do you think? Su Hao said again, for this kind of girl who doesn't say anything, Su Hao really feels a headache.
"It's not ......" Cheng Yi finally spit out two words.
"Why is that? You've got to make me understand, right? Su Hao was really puzzled.
"Because...... Because ......" Cheng Yi said two reasons, and suddenly tears rained down, and she cried loudly, "because...... This house is my house! ”
"This is your home!"
Su Hao and Ge Ling were stunned, they had guessed all the possibilities, but they didn't think of this, and they would never think of it.
Maybe it was because of the words that were held in his heart that Cheng Yi's emotions loosened a little. She sat down on the edge of the bed, sobbing softly, and told her story to Su Hao and Geling:
"My father's name is Cheng Wensui, 10 years ago, he was the general judge of Runing Mansion, and our family sat in this house, this room...... It was the room I lived in back then. My father was an honest official, and he only thought about doing things for the people, and he was busy outside every day. When he rarely comes back, he will take me and Xiaodong to play in this courtyard, and will also teach me and Xiaodong to read.
When my father was handling the case, he accidentally discovered that there were officials in Runing Mansion who colluded with powerful landlords and collaborated to harm the people. I remember that I heard my father and mother talking in private, saying that these people first lured the children of good families to gamble, and when they lost their gambling, they would give them usury. When they could not afford to repay the usury, the creditors took possession of their houses and fields, and sold them to the powerful landlords, who were forced to be displaced or sold into slavery and became slaves of the powerful family.
During this period, some people also reported to the government, but the people in the government were originally in league with those people, and these cases were suppressed in the hands of the government, until the complainant's family was broken, and the case was naturally closed.
When my dad found out about this, he started to investigate. However, he is alone, where is the opponent of these people. In the end, my father was not able to bring these people to justice, but was framed and dismissed from his official position, and had to return to his hometown in disgrace.
These wicked people didn't stop because my father was dismissed, they bought off the strongmen, and on our way back to our hometown, they blocked the road and robbed and killed. My father and my mother both died, and I took advantage of the chaos to escape with Xiaodong. Because there was no way to sue, and I was worried that the enemy would continue to chase and kill, I hid in Fengcheng until I met Lord Su later, and you ......"
"I see...... Sister Cheng, why didn't you say it earlier? Listening to Cheng Yi's narration, the singer had tears in her eyes. She took Cheng Yi's hand, as if she wanted to comfort Cheng Yi with this method.
Cheng Yi shook his head and said, "It's been 10 years since this incident, and I don't want this matter to disturb Lord Su's business." When Master Su asked me to come into the city, I was cowardly and didn't want to see this sad place again, so I refused to go into the city. In the end, because of Master Su's insistence, I couldn't refuse. But...... However, I never expected that the mansion they arranged for Master Su would be my own home back then. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yi couldn't help crying again, and Ge Ling glared at Su Hao while patting her back gently, and said, "You dog official, why do you have to let Sister Cheng repeat her sad place!" Has your conscience been eaten by dogs! ”
I said...... Can you be reasonable? "Su Hao really has no way to take the singer, this girl is also seventeen or eighteen years old, she acts completely her own way, and her emotions are extremely serious, just like the sister of the later generations.
In the past few days, Li Zhen has also given Su Hao a little wind and introduced the background of the singer. It turned out that Geling's grandfather was an imperial doctor in Nanjing Tai Hospital, and his status was quite high. Geling studied medicine with her grandfather since she was a child, and because she was smart and clever, she had some true inheritance, and was regarded by her grandfather as the successor who could inherit her mantle. Due to her grandfather's doting, Ge Ling became more and more unrestrained, otherwise it would not have been possible to go to Huguang to listen to Li Zhen's lectures, and even later ran out to try to rescue Li Zhen single-handedly.
"Master Su, I'm sorry, Cheng Yi really didn't mean to bring up the old things......" Cheng Yi cried enough, raised his head, and said to Su Hao apologetically.
Su Hao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Cheng Yi, if you still treat me as a friend, then you should say something and share it together." Since this house reminds you of so many sad pasts, why don't you live here, and I'll arrange for someone to take you to a camp outside the city. ”
"No need." Cheng Yi said, "I've cried, and I'm getting better." Actually, it feels good to be home, and I can think of the good old days when I look at every plant and tree here. ”
"It's great that you think like that." Su Hao said, he saw that Cheng Yi had indeed eased up, so he was relieved, "In this way, you are the master here, how we should live, how things should be arranged, it is up to you to decide, you will be the mistress of this house, what do you think?" ”
"This ......" Cheng Yi's face turned red all of a sudden, fortunately she had been crying for so long, and her face was originally a little red, and others couldn't see anything unusual at once. This house was given to Su Hao by Runing Mansion, and Su Hao asked Cheng Yi to be the hostess, which feels ambiguous no matter how you hear it.
Su Hao was ignorant, he didn't feel that he was the owner of this place at all, and when he heard Cheng Yi say that this was her house, Su Hao felt that this house had nothing to do with him, and he should be a guest at Cheng Yi's house.
"Let's go, let's eat, you haven't eaten for a day, you're hungry, aren't you?" Su Hao said, "Since you grew up in Runing, then let's go to the street to eat, how about you introduce us to the food of Runing?" ”
"Cheng Yi obeys his fate!" Cheng Yi stood up, bowed to Su Hao Yingying, and said.
"Let's go, Geling, don't stay here, let Miss Cheng freshen up. You go and call your grandfather, as well as Chen Daochang, your grandfather Xu, and Zhou Juren, let's go to Runing City together. Su Hao laughed and supported the singer. (To be continued.)
