Chapter 70: The Eve of Departure

At the dinner, you can see the enthusiasm and nostalgia of Ajia Toast, and after eating and drinking, the three of Xia Chuxin praised the imperial kitchen skills of this ancient city of Jing, and then the female official on the side said: "This is all made by Lord Toast himself." ”

Xia Chuxin was quite surprised, it turned out that Ajia Toast still had such superb cooking skills, and it was also an activity to pass the time in the long years, Su Zhao really had two white eyes, although he had never seen Princess Qinghe, but I heard that the woman was not good-looking and very jealous, and if she didn't eat the best fairy peaches, she had to die and consume a basket of rotten apricots, Su Zhao's taste was really different from ordinary people.

"Uncle, you eat, I'm eating a little, go outside for activities." Xia Chuxin got up and said to Su Zhao.

Su Zhao was eating heartily, so he didn't bother to pay attention to where she was going, and he didn't raise his head and said, "Okay, good." ”

Xia Chuxin actually wanted to create some opportunities for Ajia Toast and him on this last night, at least to add some memories to Ajia Toast in the next thirty years, and snorted a few times at Xia Duo, the eldest brother also ate Zhengxiang at all, Xia Chuxin was speechless and had to walk behind him, pulled his arm and said: "Big brother, I'm going to be boring by myself, you go with me." ”

Geng was as straight as Xia Duo, and he looked up and said, "You go first, I haven't finished eating yet." ”

Xia Chuxin pinched his arm and whispered, "I'll eat when I come back later." Saying that, he glanced at Xia Duo in the direction of the two people on the table, and Xia Duo understood at this time, and hurriedly said, "Oh good, I'll also go to the event." ”

Su Zhao really thought that the princess and lady of the princess's mansion were all reincarnated by starving ghosts, and they actually ate so much that they needed to go outside, so he sneered: "Hey, presumably your princess's mansion doesn't have anything to eat on weekdays, so this will make you eat?" When you return to Dachu, your uncle will hold a banquet in Qinghe to entertain you. ”

This second stunned, Xia Chuxin scolded in his heart. But he still replied to him with a smile on his face: "Okay, then thank you uncle." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Xia Duo and walked towards the outside of the hall. On the main hall, only Ajia Toast and Su Zhao, who were happy to eat, were left.

Su Zhao took about a moment of effort before he finally felt that something seemed wrong in the atmosphere of the hall, and he raised his head suddenly, but only Ajia was looking at him directly. And her eyes were flooded with some maternal love when she looked at her. Su Zhao shuddered suddenly, smiled awkwardly, put down the sauce hoof in his hand, took the handkerchief handed by the female officer on the side and wiped it clean.

Ajia Tusi waved his hand at several female officials, and several female officials retreated with interest, and now there were really only the two of them left in the hall, Su Zhao only then reacted to how Xia Chuxin ate well and wanted to run to the event, this girl who was not much higher than the table was simply full of bad water, and she was mixed with the feelings of adults at a young age, this Xia Jingxiang and Su Pei didn't know what kind of tutor they were.

How to describe this moment, I can only think of the lyrics: I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

Su Zhao thought to himself, why is this Ajia so quiet today, she didn't even say a word, you should start a topic. But waiting left and right, Ajia still looked at herself with a kind face. Su Zhao gave up in his heart, coughed dryly, and said, "Today's night is very good." ”

Ajia turned her head sideways to look ahead, then turned around and said, "Can you still see the night outside?" ”

Su Zhao was so angry, this girl was so real, so he said: "That, your skills are getting better and better." ”

Ajia replied: "You haven't eaten my cooking before, how do you know that my skills are getting better and better?" ”

was scolded twice, Su Zhao really didn't want to find a topic anymore, how could this Ajia suddenly become a topic terminator after thirty years.

"Ajia, you know I don't have anything to say, because the atmosphere is really weird for the two of us. I know you still have me in your heart, and although you don't care, your kindness to us and the way you look at me are a burden to me. ”

Ah Jia's brows gradually frowned when he heard him speak, and it wasn't until he finished speaking that he said, "Brother Zhao, since you finally stop talking nonsense, then I also want to talk about what I have to say." ”

Su Zhao straightened up and said, "Just say it." ”

"Okay, anyway, you're going to leave early tomorrow morning, and it's unknown whether you can see each other again in this life, so I'll just say everything in my heart today." Ajia thought for a while, and then said: "My father used to be the great toast of Jingnan, at that time I and my three elder brothers lived in Jingnan, my brothers and sisters were weak since childhood, and died early one after another, my father was afraid that I would not be able to stay in the world for a long time, so he recruited a wizard to use his life to renew my life, and also taught me to practice martial arts. When I was thirteen years old, I was besieged by gangsters when I went out with my father, and my father was shot by arrows in order to save me, and I hid in the pile of dead people and did not dare to move, until one of the masked people spoke, and I knew that it was my uncle who shot my father, my brother whom my father had always loved, and the death of my three elder brothers was not because he was weak and sick, but because my uncle had been playing tricks in their meals all the year round, because my uncle had always coveted the position of the toast, so he attacked our family. I was saved from being killed because I was a little girl. Then my father's body and I were brought back to the royal city, my uncle told the whole city the news of my father's death, and he was going to take over the position of Tusi to avenge my father and me as soon as possible, I pretended to be dead and lay in the coffin to accept the condolences of my father's subordinates, and my uncle told them that my father and I had died at the hands of gangsters, and I knew that it was my last chance, and everyone was stunned when I crawled out of the coffin. But when I told the truth, everyone hid their own thoughts, my father's subordinates were divided into two factions, one faction had been bought by my uncle, and swore to protect my uncle as the toast of Jingnan, and the other minority faction supported me as the toast, we were deadlocked for a few days, my uncle did not agree, at this time it was my aunt and the people of the Wu clan came to help, and finally the uncle agreed to assign that group of people to me to be in charge, but I had to leave Jingnan, for the people who followed me, I had to leave Jingnan, all the way north, to the ancient city of Jing. Maybe you want to ask me why I didn't get revenge after all these years? ”

Su Zhao on the other side listened with relish, which was exactly what he wanted to ask. I listened to Ajia Tusi continue: "Because Jingnan is gradually safe and quiet under the governance of my uncle, and the people of Jinggu City can be comfortable and worry-free under my protection, I don't want the war of hatred to destroy the existing beauty." If his father were alive, he would not have given up on the safety of the people. At the age of thirteen, I took 40,000 people to establish the ancient city of Jing, once defeated many small tribes, and always reassured the people of Jinggu, in Jinggu, everyone only regarded me as a god in heaven, they respected me and worshiped me, but no one dared to approach me, until I met you in the city at the age of sixteen, although you are neither a romantic talent nor a knight, but you are different from every man I have seen since I was a child, at that time you were penniless but refused to accept my help and made me feel your preciousness. At that time, there was nothing I could not do that I wanted to do, and there was nothing I could not get if I wanted anything I wanted, but you were the only one, no matter how much I wanted you to stay, you always had to leave. You said that you like the women of the Central Plains, so I asked someone to work day and night to make the dress of the Central Plains, but before I could put on you, I ran away. ”

Speaking of this, Ajia Toast looked at Su Zhao, but Su Zhao felt a little embarrassed and helpless in his heart. He muttered: "What you have experienced is exactly what I have experienced, I don't want to pay too much attention to these court things, but I have to be involved, so, I have to do things against my will outside, but when I get home, I hope these things have nothing to do with me, I hope that my wife is a simple and ordinary woman, no knowledge or no family background, I just hope that she is not a person who has experienced too many burdens, and we only live an ordinary life." You are the goddess of war in Jinggu City, you are in charge of a city at a young age, although you are fond of me, but I dare not accept your wishes, I am not a good person, I am not worthy of a good girl like you, you have too much on your shoulders, I can't bear it with you and don't want to bear it with you, and I will definitely not agree with your temperament that I am facing. We are not destined to be people on the same road, not together may be good for you and me, we all have things that we can't let go, rather than seeing each other, it is better to miss it in our hearts. You tell me? ”

At this point, Ajia smiled with relief and said, "Yes, people who carry too much in their hearts should no longer add to their worries, you have always been more transparent than me." However, you don't have to overburden, I'm just stuck in this city all my life, just to find a way to live for myself. If you say goodbye today, you don't have to feel ashamed of me anymore, and I will only put you in my heart as a thought. Life and death have fate, love and hatred are in the sky, let's not ask fate, just live in the moment. Ah Jia raised her wine glass and Su Zhao saluted.

Su Zhao picked up the wine glass and said, "If I really have a next life, I just hope that I am an ordinary person who can face my heart with dignity." ”

"Brother Zhao, can you grant me a wish?" Aja asked.

"Say whatever you want, as long as I can do it."

Ah Jia smiled lightly and said, "Can you hug me?" ”

Su Zhao didn't hesitate, got up and walked straight to Ajia across the dining table, and took her into his arms, only then did he feel that she was just a thin and small woman, not as majestic and unattainable as she looked.

Lying in Su Zhao's arms for a moment, Ajia was satisfied, he was the first man in her life and the last man she had, this man was imaginary before, but today he was held in his arms, and when he thought of him in the future, he didn't have to complain about his stupidity later.

picked up the two glasses of wine in front of him and handed one to Su Zhao. Ajia raised her head and drank the wine, "Thank you." Tomorrow you can go. ”

Su Zhao's heart was full of joy, and the guilt that had been hidden in his heart for many years was finally swept away, and he raised his wine glass and drank it all. Thirty years of grievances, laughed it off.

At the entrance outside the hall, the brothers and sisters of the Xia family sat together and leaned against the porch and listened with a lot of emotion.

Xia Duo asked after a while, "If we eavesdrop like this, will it seem particularly tasteless?" ”

Xia Chuxin pursed his lips and said, "I've listened to everything, if you don't have a taste, you don't have a taste." What else. ”

After thinking about it, Xia Duo nodded to himself and said, "Yes, what else can I do after listening to it." ”

Hearing the movement of the people inside getting up, the brother and sister hurriedly got up from the ground, and turned around and touched Ah Jia and Su Zhao face to face. Su Zhao blurted out: "When will you two little rabbit cubs learn to listen to the root of the wall?" Hurry back to the house and go to bed, and leave early tomorrow morning. ”
