Chapter 150: The Girl's Troubled Heart (1)
I tugged at the corners of my mouth at Beru and said, "This is the female music that the prime minister gave to Hongyun'er yesterday, and he sent someone to my courtyard this morning, saying that he was helping me plow the field and grow medicine." β
"So that's the case, then you just leave people in the medicine field outside the city, why did you leave the fourth girl behind, I haven't seen her for a few days." Beru laughed disapprehantly.
"How dare I leave people behind. Rannu said that she and Hongyun'er were old acquaintances, and begged me to return her to Hongyun'er! β
"Is there such a thing?" Bo Lu stopped when he heard this, and even Ming Yi, who was walking with his head down, couldn't help but turn his head and look at Rannu, and then threw a sentence with a smile: "What a woman with no eyesight." β
"Ah Shi, you have to listen to me about this. While I didn't see Hongyun'er now, I hurriedly gave a few money to send people away. Boru said seriously with a sinking face.
"Why?" As soon as I spoke, the woman beside me had already knelt on the ground with a puff and said loudly: "Please fulfill the world!" β
"Look, she's determined to follow him, what can I do?" I glanced at the woman on the ground and said sourly.
"Alright, alright, get up." Bolu waved his hand at the girl, and said with a cold face, "I ask for a lot now, and I will see him later, don't regret it." β
Not long after I sat in the courtyard with Rannu, the shirtless came. Today, he wore a purple begonia colored fine linen silk summer dress, with a belt of the same color tied around his waist, and his hair seemed to have just been washed and was still a little wet, so he was not tied up, but only draped casually over his shoulders. Shirtless clothes on weekdays are not green and ink, so although the color of purple and red is the first time I have seen it, it is dazzling and good-looking.
"Why didn't you come to me when you entered the mansion, but hid in your brother's place?" Shameless sat down with a smile, and a hand naturally came to my hand. I avoided it without a trace, and only lowered my head and took a sip of the wine in my glass.
Boru coughed twice and said with a smile: "I haven't seen her for a few months, and you haven't seen her for half a day, why did you chase me here?" It's really unproductive! β
"I was too drunk yesterday, and I was afraid that I would get drunk in the morning, so I wanted to wash first, but I didn't expect her to come here."
"That must be extremely drunk, otherwise it wouldn't have been sent to me in a daze without recognizing the old acquaintance." I glanced at Wuxian and said.
"What old acquaintances? The sorcerer has a hangover soup, give me a bowl! Wuxian rubbed his eyebrows and said pitifully to me.
"The slave family is going to boil it." The woman on the side suddenly opened her mouth.
"Who are you?" Only then did Wuxian see the Ran Nu sitting on the side, he lowered his face and scolded, "I talk to the witch, where can I allow you to interject!" β
"Hongyun'er, you can read carefully before you speak." Ming Yi lowered his eyes and chuckled, and the two jade fingers pinched the small ears of the wine glass and raised his head to drink it all.
Rannu raised her head and looked at Wushirt intently, and tears flashed faintly in her bright eyes.
"This is the maidservant I gave you yesterday?" Wuxian glanced sideways at Rannu, and wondered, "If you don't like to send it away, why did you bring it back to the house?" β
"You don't recognize her?" I asked.
"Why should I recognize her?" Wuxian turned his head to look at Rannu, a trace of anger on his face, "Why should I know you?" What did you say to the shaman? β
The appearance of the shirtless is very different from the Central Plains with thin eyes and small noses. He has a high nose and deep eyes, and his dark pupils are born with a light that is impossible to look at. When he was happy, his jade-like eyes and the glimmer of light in between were fascinating, but once he got angry, those eyes were as cold as ice, making those who watched him feel like falling into an ice cave.
Ran Nu was stared at by him like this, where could she still speak, and the tears that had been lingering in her eyes kept falling and clicking.
Mingyi glanced at Rannu with disgust, pulled Beru and said, "I can't look down on the dirty woman who cries and cries, let's go." β
"Well, we'll wait for you in the garden." Beru stood up and glanced at me and Wuxian, then took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Rannu: "Don't cry, talk to him." If he can't remember you today, you won't be able to save your life. β
As soon as Rannu heard this, she suddenly stopped crying, she knelt and moved two steps forward and fell to the feet of Wuxian: "Brother Wuxian, I'm Xiao Ran!" When I was a child, I helped you cut horse grass, you helped me carry water, don't you remember? β
"Are you Xiao Ran?" Wuxian was stunned suddenly, and stretched out his fingers to gently hook Rannu's chin.
My heart tightened, and I said in a muffled voice, "It's good to remember...... is the person who appreciates you, and the old friend, so you can stay by your side. I just forgot to talk to Mingyi about Si'er, so I'll leave first. β
"Don't go!" Wuxian grabbed my hand and said in amazement, "You want me to stay with her?" β
"She and you have known each other since childhood, and it has been a love affair for many years, and I naturally want to fulfill it." I felt uncomfortable, but my smile grew brighter.
Shirtless stared at my face, his eyes frighteningly cold. After a while, he evoked a chuckle and said to the woman lying on the ground: "Good! Great goodness! Xiao Ran, thank you for the sorcerer's fulfillment! β
"Thank you...... Thank you for the witches! Rannu's voice trembled with excitement.
"Hmm." I smiled and nodded, turned and ran away.
It turns out that this is the taste of jealousy, like ten thousand ants drilling into the heart, but unable to speak.
I went out of Bolu's courtyard, but instead of going to the garden, I went straight out of Zhao's mansion. As soon as the coachman waiting at the gate of the mansion saw me, he immediately ran over, bent down and said, "The wizard has gone back so soon?" β
"Unload one of the horses for the chariot and give me one!" I walked briskly towards the carriage and stretched out my hand to unload it.
"I can't help it, let the slave come!" Seeing that my expression was not right, the coachman hurriedly quickened his hands and feet and handed me the reins, "Sorcerer, where are you going?" β
I looked at him, but didn't answer, rolled over and got on my horse, screamed, and galloped away.
I don't know how long I rode like this, but I unknowingly arrived at the edge of Fenshui. At this time, the weeds are long on the riverside, and the tangled kudzu vines are crawling on the dead branches of the winter sunset, growing knots of green leaves. All the wild grasses that can be named and who can't be named are growing unbridled in the spring breeze. I jumped off my horse, took a deep breath, and walked slowly towards the water's edge, stepping on the grass stalks.
On the edge of the sparkling Fenshui, there is a peach tree with twisted branches silently guarding there. The gray-black branches are full of bright peach blossoms, and the petals are red and silky, competing for color. Occasionally, the wind blows, the flower branches sway with the wind, and the delicate petals are married in the spring breeze and go to the flowing water.
I looked up at the peach blossom tree, and the gentle and quiet smile of the Yao girl appeared in my mind.
"Did you meet that man under this peach tree? When he holds someone else in his arms, does your heart hurt like this? I stroked the trunk of the tree, and my heart was sour.
Yao Nu is dead, and all that answers me is the sound of flowing water that has not changed for thousands of years.
I have never fully understood the relationship between men and women. Yao Nu's uncomplaining and unrepentant attitude towards the beast-faced man, Lou Shaokang's sacrifice to the red medicine was fulfilled, Yan Wu and Orion's persistence not to be succumbed to the ordeal, I thought many times when I dreamed back at midnight, if it was me, would I be able to do it? For Wu Feng, I can't do it without regrets; I can't sacrifice without compassion. Before the unknown ordeal came, I had fled in panic.
Before, I also laughed at Xun Ji's jealousy in my heart. For the best, the primary duty is to take concubines, choose servants, and extend the heirs for the husband. Since she is the main mother of a famous family, she should have the strength to tolerate other women. At that time, those concubines in the Wu Mansion had never pricked a needle in my heart, and when I nested in Wu Feng's arms, I even hoped that he could have many children, so that he would not be lonely, and the General's Mansion would not be deserted. But now, I can't imagine holding a woman without a shirt, let alone having children with other women in the future. I looked at my reflection in the water, and suddenly I felt that this face, distorted by jealousy, was extremely ugly.
"You should have woken up? You are a man in the eyes of the world, and he will not marry you after all......" I muttered to myself as the petals on the top of my head scattered and fell on the surface of the water in circles of fine lines, blurring my bitter face.
"You are the king of Fenshui?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
When I looked back, I saw a tall, muscular man in brocade with gray hair standing behind me carrying a fish basket.
I hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said respectfully: "My husband has a good reputation, how can Xiao Ke afford the name of the Divine Monarch." β
"I thought that apart from him, there would be no second person in this world worthy of the word 'God King'. Now it seems that God really treats the old man well! The man's eyes instantly became a little more fiery and greedy when he looked at me, he threw the fish basket in his hand, stepped in front of me in two steps, and held me in his arms with his big arms.
"What are you doing!" I was frightened and hurriedly pushed him with my hand, "You let go of me, I'm a man!" β
"I know you're a man, ah, you're so good...... the man sniffed in my ear, and wrapped his arms around me in his arms. Then, I watched his dark purple mouth come towards my face.
"Don't touch meβ" I screamed, throwing my face back desperately, kicking the man's leg with both feet, but he didn't move. A sour mouth was imprinted on my face, and the wet touch made me almost sick.
"Your damn dead dog, let me goβ" I screamed and kicked, and after a few struggles I was exhausted, and the man took the opportunity to gnaw at my neck. At this moment, my stomach was already tumbling into the sea, and finally I couldn't stand the nausea and vomited, and the filth sprayed him all over his body.
"Death!" The man let go of me suddenly, he touched the filth on his face and scolded, and then dragged me to stride towards the water, "Child, don't spoil my interest today, take off your clothes for me!" β
