CHAPTER XXXIX
On the second day after the wedding, Yu's father-in-law asked someone to tell her to pack her bags and leave Beijing for a while, and there was no reason for her father-in-law to be in such a hurry, she didn't care to inquire and packed up some soft and got into the carriage, and her father-in-law - Young Master Yu was lying in the carriage.
Young Master Yu was lying upright in the carriage, his breath was calm, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Along the way, the carriage ran and ran, as if it was being chased by a fierce beast behind him, and even the meal was hastily used in the car, and it took three whole days to gradually slow down.
Along the way, Young Master Yu woke up in a daze several times, and then fell asleep again after eating.
Five days later, the carriage stopped completely, and Mama Lin said that they had arrived at the boundary of Zhuanzhou.
Mama Lin, who was beside Young Master Yu, smiled and pointed to the big mansion in front of her and introduced it to her, "This is the house that Father-in-law Yu has saved all his life, and every brick and tile is expensive!" Later! We're settled here! ”
Shui Yue was shocked and asked, "Mama, aren't we going back to Beijing?" ”
Mama Lin smiled and said, "Don't go back, the days in the capital have been changing recently, and it is not suitable for you and the young master to live as a newcomer. ”
Shui Yue nodded as if she didn't understand, Mama Lin has always spoken in a mysterious way, and she always didn't understand a word, and she asked in vain.
The eldest young master Yu, who was still sleeping soundly, was carried down by the porter, Shui Yue already understood in her heart that the reason why the eldest young master was able to sleep all the way was afraid that he had been drugged, and the person who was drugged didn't have to think that it was definitely Yu's father-in-law, as for the reason why she vaguely guessed that it should be related to that Miss Ye, she was the only one in the world who had the ability to make the eldest young master separate from Yu's father-in-law's father and son.
Looking at the eldest young master Shui Yue, who was still sleeping in his dream, he sighed for a long time, and when he woke up, he was afraid that it would be another big storm.
Sure enough, after the eldest young master Yu woke up, he saw that he was in Zhuanzhou, and he went on a hunger strike in a fit of anger, and his father-in-law felt sorry for his only son, and talked with him alone for a lot, and finally the two did not know what agreement was made, and a storm was finally temporarily suppressed.
Later, Shui Yue finally understood what Gui Mama meant, not long after they left the capital, the Ye family had copied the charges of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the eldest lady of the Ye family went to prison with her relatives, the emperor died suddenly, the frail and sickly four princes ascended the throne with the support of the Meng family's army, Lafayette left the palace and went to Wutai Mountain, the daughter of the Meng family was the queen, and the Ye family was convicted of a serious crime. The Ye clan has completely erased their name from the genealogy of Jingzhong.
Shui Yue was very worried in her heart, afraid that if the eldest young master knew the news, she would faint in a hurry, she was always cautious in her words and deeds in front of the eldest young master, for fear that the eldest young master would see what was wrong, and the eldest young master also changed his previous temperament, and honestly sat at the door of the mansion without taking a single step.
After his father-in-law took care of the old house, he went to Wutai Mountain overnight, before he left, Shui Yue had persuaded him that his body was important, and Lafayette was surrounded by young and clever people to serve, so that he could rest in the house.
Father-in-law Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, "For example, the only Bodhisattva today is in Wutai Mountain, and now it is not good to serve the left and right, and when the sky falls, it will be called a throat break, and the Bodhisattva will not take care of us." ”
Shui Yue suddenly realized that the Bodhisattva in Yu's father-in-law's mouth was about Lafayette who was recuperating in Wutai Mountain, but she didn't understand why Yu Fu had done nothing wrong, so why she needed Lafayette's protection.
However, this doubt Yu father-in-law did not help her solve the puzzle, but sighed at the blood-like sunset on the horizon, Yu father-in-law was by Lafayette's side all the year round, and the Ganoderma lucidum medicine that conditioned the body was not less, and he himself also attached great importance to health, and there was no trace of erosion by the years on his face, and he was still as strong as he was in the years.
Yu father-in-law stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, sighing to the sky, and at this moment, Shui Yue found that her father-in-law, who had always had a straight back, showed that she had never been old and tired.
The carriage carrying Yu Gonggong left the gate of Yufu in the bloody twilight, and Shui Yue stood at the door to see him off, but in the blink of an eye, the carriage became a black spot in the sky, and finally disappeared at the junction of heaven and water.
So the entire Yu Mansion only left Shui Yue and the eldest young master two serious masters, but the eldest young master was stunned, sitting in the water pavilion stupidly all day long, looking at the handover line of the Tianshui side, that look like waiting, as if missing.
Mama Gui, who helped take care of Yu's house, often asked her jokingly, saying that the two had been married for some time, why her stomach had not moved, she pretended to be shy and lowered her eyes silently, covering up the bitterness in her heart again and again.
On the day of the wedding, Young Master Yu sat in the new room all night, and even the hijab was lifted by herself, and Young Master Yu has not entered her room since the wedding.
From time to time, Xiuzhuang will send some of the most popular dresses at the moment, and the people privately praise the young master's beloved wife and favorite wife, and there are envious eyes in her eyes, but she herself knows that the dress that has accumulated a room full of clothes is prepared by him for another woman, that woman is the treasure in his heart, and the brightness in his eyes is only for her to bloom.
Although he was unconscious on the day he left the house, Father-in-law Yu still carried all the pictures in his house into the carriage, because he knew that if he abandoned these scrolls, his seemingly well-behaved but stubborn son would cut off their father-son relationship with his own hands.
The maids in the old mansion of the mansion saw Shui Yue, the legendary grandmother, for the first time, and Shui Yue was a gentle woman without a shelf, and the maids unscrupulously talked about the rumors that had been circulating in the mansion in front of her.
"The young grandmother is good-looking and extravagant, no wonder the young master fell in love with you at first sight!"
"That's it, I heard that in order to marry you, the young master also contradicted the master."
"The young grandmother is immortal, and the young master of our family is very compatible, I heard that the young master was locked up for half a month in order to anger the master, and the young master of our family is most afraid of the small black house, so he didn't let go, it can be seen that the young master has a deep affection for the young grandmother!"
She sat in front of the window and listened with a smile, but her heart was as painful as a pinprick, she didn't see his shadow in the audience on the day she took the stage, and later she entered Yu's mansion and found that he had been locked up, although she didn't want to admit it, but she knew in her heart that Yu Fulai proposed to her that it was Yu's father-in-law's idea, and he contradicted Yu's father-in-law and was confined, and it was also related to this marriage.
He has love in his heart, but not a single trace of that love belongs to him.
She turned her eyes to look out the window, and saw the back that was getting thinner, and he stood in the water pavilion with his hands in his hands, looking tirelessly at the edge of the sky day after day, just as she looked at him tirelessly every day.
Although it is only the back, her heart will still be filled with a trace of satisfaction and pleasure.
His heart is not with her, but with people, as long as she looks at him, even if it is her back, she is happy.
However, this little joy was not even left in the moment when the white bird flew into the mansion, and it was swallowed up by the overwhelming sadness.
In the cold winter, the sky is still as gray as ever, and the snow is falling from the sky, this snow has been falling for too long, and it is almost forgetting what it feels like to bathe in the sun, the snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker, and the snowdrifts that were swept to the root of the wall by the servants are about to cross the high house wall.
Shui Yue leaned against the window and followed Mama Gui to twist threads to make winter clothes to relieve boredom, Mama Gui looked at the snow outside the window that had not covered her calves and the person who was as white as an ice sculpture, and said with some concern, "The wind and snow outside are so big, the young master's body will not be able to stand up!" ”
Mama Gui is a shrewd old man, but people are not born perfect, since the shrewd side will have a confused side, Mama Gui is very forgetful, and there is no distinction between southeast and northwest.
She forgot that the young master she brought up with one hand was still thinking about a woman in her heart, and she didn't realize that the direction that the young master was looking at every day was Kyoto, thousands of miles away.
Shui Yue smiled indifferently, her red lips rose slightly, and she was about to speak, only to see a white bird spread her wings through the heavy snow, and the white bird was as white as jade, stretching its wings in the cold wind and snow.
Mama Gui exclaimed, "Bai Yan! ”
Shui Yue looked at the figure that had stood in the water pavilion for almost a lifetime, and asked softly, "Who is Bai Yan?" ”
Mama Gui said, "It is the young master's pet, it is the best among the birds, whether it is cold or hot, it comes and goes freely, it is arrogant and greedy by nature, and it has not seen it since it left Beijing and came to Zhuanzhou, why did it suddenly come back at this time?" ”
The white bird spun around in the air, and suddenly retracted its wings and landed in front of the ice-like person, Shui Yue saw the silk cloth tied on its legs, and her eyes shook suddenly, and the overwhelming sadness instantly swallowed her.
The silk cloth on the Xuanniao's legs is the homespun cloth dyed and woven by the Xu family, and this homespun cloth is only paid tribute to the palace, and it can be worn by the most inferior slaves and maids.
That person is now a slave of sin and is under house arrest by the emperor.
And the emaciated figure under the water pavilion shook the moment he saw Bai Yan, and the dead silence that had lingered for half a year disappeared like the wind passing through the purple smoke, and he hugged the half-human-tall white bird tightly, with tears in his eyes.
He lifted his frozen legs with difficulty, stepped on the thick snow, and finally left the water pavilion.
This is the first time in half a year that he has left without being urged.
Three days later, Young Master Yu suddenly stole the carriage in his house and said goodbye, Mama Gui ran to find Shui Yue in a panic, and was about to cry, Young Master Yu was brought up by her, at any time the master and servant but had the feelings of mother and son, the young master suddenly disappeared, her first thought was to report to the official, because the young master who was carefully cared for was an obedient baby, if she went out, she would definitely have to tell someone, without telling anyone, in addition to the possibility of being kidnapped, she really couldn't think of a second possibility.
And Shui Yue was still sitting quietly in front of the window, looking down at the empty and somewhat lonely water pavilion, and her heart was also lonely, and after she comforted Mama Gui with her gentle words, she called the close maid on the side.
"You quickly go to Wutai Mountain to find Father-in-law Yu, talk more slowly, and by the way, mention the matter of Leng Yan coming back."
The snowy road was difficult to walk, and the maid walked for six days before returning to Yufu, just saying that she should rest assured of everything. She persuaded herself to put her heart back in her stomach, and persuaded herself for half a month, when the blood-colored figure stumbled into the gate of Yufu, she could no longer persuade herself to rush to him.
In just a few days, he was as embarrassed as if he had walked in the Demon Domain, the hollowness in his eyes was terrifying, and the blood on the washed white clothes on his body was dotted with blood, like a bewitching red plum tree burning and blooming on his clothes.
Father-in-law Yu died.
She didn't know what happened, she only knew that the eldest young master was lame when he came back, and he was still holding the urn of his father-in-law, and on the day of the burial, the young master Yu knelt in front of the tomb without saying a word for a whole day and a night, and on this day and night, the young master knelt in front of his father-in-law's tomb and kept kowtowing, kowtowing heavily.
The great sadness and guilt enveloped him, Shui Yue didn't know how to comfort him, the only thing he could do was to silently guard him behind him.
It was snowing heavily, and soon one person and one grave turned completely white, and in Shui Yue's worried gaze, the weak figure finally fell down under the pressure of the goose feathers and heavy snow.
Shui Yue rushed over, and Young Master Yu curled up in the snow nest shivering, his lips were bruised, and his breath was disordered.
Shui Yue's cry for help startled the two house slaves, Young Master Yu was carried back to his room, a man who was more than half a hundred years old was invited to the house to diagnose the pulse, Mama Gui decocted the medicine according to the prescription, and after taking the medicine, Yu Young Master's face was flushed, and his breath gradually calmed down.
Decoction and feeding medicine, wiping the body cover and being covered by Shui Yue to do everything personally to prevent others from interfering, the person who had been asleep in her expectant gaze finally opened his eyes.
His eyes were full of surprise when he saw Shui Yue, and the bright smile between his eyebrows fell on Shui Yue with admiration, and before Shui Yue reacted, the smile was like a flash in the pan, but it sank into the lonely eyes in an instant, he closed his eyes and opened his eyes again, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
"Bring the wine."
Shui Yue didn't follow, he struggled to get up to get it himself, Shui Yue hurriedly pressed his still a little hot body, ran to the wine cellar with red eyes, she poured half of the jar for a long time, mixed half of the water before letting people send it to Yu Yi's house.
Yu Yi didn't use a wine bottle, holding the jar and pouring wine like water, one jar after another, even if Shui Yue did his hands and feet in each altar, he couldn't stand his rude drinking.
After the tenth altar, he was drunk, singing and dancing in the house, crying and laughing, Shui Yue brought him a bowl of sobering soup, and was knocked to the ground by his backhand, Shui Yue sighed faintly and turned around to bring another bowl, who knew that just turned around, his waist suddenly tightened, and Shui Yue stood there like petrified and couldn't move.
The eldest young master, who usually shunned her, now hugged her tightly like a child, not letting her go out, afraid that he would make her angry, and whispered in her ear.
Shui Yue He had experienced this kind of battle, standing there in shock and shame, not knowing how to speak, only to hear the sticky young master behind him say gently, "Don't be angry with me, okay, I didn't run away from the battle, my father gave me *." ”
"You're not married, I'm not married, we're childhood sweethearts again, and we're only called a good match together, why don't you agree to me?"
"I'm going to take you away!"
"Why don't you come with me!"
"Zhenzhen, you can go with me!"
Her heart seemed to have been rubbed a thousand times, and the pain gradually lost its sense, and the sound of Zhen Zhen biting her skirt like a falling beast and dragging her headlong into the abyss of no day.
A careful kiss fell on her neck, the kiss was too careful, for fear of angering the woman in her arms, the woman was suddenly startled, stunned in his arms, he saw that she did not resist, the falling light kiss fell on her slender neck.
He whispered in her ear, begging, "Zhenzhen, you go with me." ”
The ghost sent her to the gods, and she nodded in response to him, "Okay." ”
He was overjoyed, turned her to face him, and asked in disbelief, "Zhenzhen, what did you just say, say it again?" ”
She met his happy eyes, and said slowly word by word, "I will leave with you, I will go wherever you go, and heaven and earth will never be separated." ”
A hot kiss fell on her lips, and he hugged her tightly for fear that if he was not careful, she would fly out of his arms and never return, and she collapsed in his arms and let him frantically ask for it.
He hugged her sideways on the couch, gently unbuttoned her sleeves, and when the two were about to become one, his hot body hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Zhenzhen, never leave me." ”
She hugged him in response, an act of encouragement, and a drop of warmth slowly swept across her face as she screamed in pain.
She lost, completely lost.
Although she was sad when she learned that he was concerned about other women in her heart, she was confident that she would make him fall in love with her, but at this moment, she knew very well in her heart that she had lost this battle.
Maybe the meeting ten years ago was a mistake in itself, maybe she was wishful thinking and looked for him for ten years, maybe there was a fate between them, maybe she knew she had lost when she saw the portrait of the hairpin woman.
People are like this, they understand the truth, but because of their stubbornness and dignity, they can only choose to deceive themselves.
Seeing him smile like never before, Shui Yue made a big decision in her heart.
His laughter is guarded by her from now on.
Even if she lives without dignity, even if she is a shadow of herself, as long as she can make him smile again, no matter what, she will do it.
