"Why?" The little Taoist priest sighed: "Because he loves you!" ”

"Because you love me, you don't want to marry me?" Liu Meiren shook her head and smiled bitterly: "For more than ten years, I have thought about it countless times and asked countless times, but I never dreamed that I would get such an answer." ”

"Because you love me, you won't marry me? Isn't that the biggest joke in the world? ”

The little Taoist priest said, "No, it's not ridiculous at all. ”

"For more than two years, I don't understand. But now, I understand. ”

"Love is sometimes not about possession, but about giving up. Because I love you so much, I want you to live your best life. If letting go is best for you, let it go. ”

Liu Meiren hissed: "No, be with me, have me, for me, this is the best." ”

The little Taoist priest sighed: "The drunken Taoist once told me that he is not worthy of you. You are so beautiful, and he is a martial artist; You know how to read and learn, he doesn't know a few big characters; You are gentle and virtuous, but he is a prodigal son, accustomed to wandering, accustomed to the four seas as his home. He thinks that you should find him a better, far better person than him, to be your husband. ”

Liu Meiren burst into tears and shouted, "Is this important? I always knew what kind of person he was, and I was willing to accept all that he had. I love him and I don't care about that. ”

The little Taoist priest shook his head: "But he cares!" You and he are people who live in two different worlds, and their temperaments and living habits are too far apart. Maybe because of love, you will accept him for a while, but you can't accept him for the rest of your life because of love. ”

Liu Meiren shook her head: "No, he's wrong, you're wrong." ”

"I'm willing to accept him, and that's because I appreciate him. His demeanor was unruly, but I admired his straightforwardness. He doesn't know much about writing and ink, but I like his roughness. It is enough for a woman to know that a man truly loves her, is willing to protect her, and is willing to give everything for her. Something else, really not that important. ”

The little Taoist priest was silent for a moment: "Life is too long, and a person's love may be very short." ”

Liu Meiren smiled bitterly: "More than ten years have passed, and my love for him has been reduced by half a point." ”

"What's more, women are not the same as men. In this world, a man can fall in love with many women and have many women. But women can't! I am a lady of all families, and I can only give myself to a man and accompany him for the rest of my life. ”

"A woman marries a chicken with a chicken, and marries a dog with a dog, since she has to live this life if she marries anyone, can't she live this life if she marries a man she really likes?"

"This," the little Taoist priest was suddenly speechless.

After thinking about it, the little Taoist priest argued: "But after all, you haven't really lived with him, you don't know, if you really marry him, what kind of life you will live." ”

"You have to understand that with the temperament of a drunken Taoist, he will not accept the alms of your Liu family and live in the Liu family. If you can't say anything, you will have to wander around with him. In the past few years, I have rarely settled down, and I am outside most of the time, so I know the pain of this. You are everyone's lady, since you were a child, you will not get used to that kind of day. ”

Liu Meiren said sadly: "I won't like it, I won't get used to it, may I ask, has he asked me?" ”

This woman suddenly broke out, she said angrily: "Everything is his own thoughts, he is thinking nonsense there alone, how has he ever communicated with me, how has he ever asked me what I mean?" ”

She stretched out her hand, pointed to the garden, and pointed to the house outside the garden: "Everywhere here, isn't it exquisite, will it be comfortable to live in it?" ”

"But who in this world knows, in my eyes, this is a cage, a beautiful cage that traps me in it, makes me unable to breathe, unable to move."

"I've been in my mother's house for nineteen years, and since I was ten years old, for nine years, I can't step out of this cage again. Then I got married, and then I went into the cage of my husband's house. I have been married for thirteen years, and I have never set foot outside the house except when I go back to my parents' house. Even when I went back to my parents' house, I could only sit in the carriage, through the curtain, watching the excitement outside, envying other people's lives. ”

"You know what? For twenty-three years, the only time I went out was during the Lantern Festival, when my family had no time to take care of me, I secretly ran out alone and met him on the street. ”

"Twenty-three years, only once. What kind of life is this, you know? Can you imagine? ”

The little Taoist priest was dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "How is this possible? ”

Liu Meiren laughed miserably: "Hehe, my Liu family has lost the glory of their ancestors, why don't you rely on me, a little woman, to earn back some face." Since everyone in my husband's family knows that I am chaste and self-controlled, and I don't leave the house for half a step, then I can only never leave the house for half a step. ”

She pointed to the garden and said excitedly: "It's beautiful here, but you know with your eyes closed, when you close your eyes, when there is any grass and which tree here, no matter how beautiful it is, is it useful?" Living here, you can stretch your hands for clothes and open your mouth for food, but you have nothing to do every day, you can only sit there and make a beautiful decoration, will your heart be comfortable? ”

"You know what? Growing up, how I longed to break out of this cage, to be able to go outside, to be able to run freely, to be able to laugh freely. I crave it all like crazy. But I know that all this that others can get casually is a luxury for me. My family has put so much effort into cultivating me, so they will naturally help me choose a good eunuch family and marry me off. ”

"Until he came. He is full of people from all over my Liu family, and he has the grace of life. My father had always been very gracious, and when he saw that he liked me, he dispelled his original idea and was willing to marry me to him. Otherwise, how could I, a lady who has not yet come out of the cabinet, take care of him closely? ”

"You know what? I like him, not only to thank him for his great kindness and appreciate his character, but also to follow him to the end of the world, get out of this cage, and live freely outside! What I need most is freedom! ”

"Hehe, I thought I was free. But as a result, overnight, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, and he has not been heard from since. ”

"I had no choice but to obey my family's arrangement and marry into a family of eunuchs. Jumping from one cage to another! ”

"He has the courage to run away, why doesn't he have the courage to ask me, ask me, ask me, would you like to run with him?"

Liu Meiren burst into tears: "Why didn't he ask me?" Just ask me, my fate with him will not be as miserable as it is now! ”

The little Taoist priest had nothing to say and let out a long sigh. He asked in an astringent voice, "You, how are you doing?" ”

Liu Meiren shook her head: "In the eyes of outsiders, I am naturally excellent." The husband is only thirty years, and he is already the Yangzhou observer of the fifth grade, and he has great power. But am I really doing well? ”

"Over the years, my husband has known that there are other men in my heart. But he didn't care, because he married me, and he took a fancy to my Liu family's money and my beauty. He knew that I would stay at home and be chaste, and that would be enough. As for my love, he doesn't need it. Oh, because around him, there are women who will love him. ”

"So you say, how am I doing?"

The tears in Liu Meiren's eyes fell drippingly. She reached out, caught a few tears, and dripped them onto the beltband. She handed the little Taoist priest a waist card: "Thank you for coming over tonight and telling me that he didn't marry me because he loved me." ”

"In this life, I have no relationship with him, and I hope that in the next life, I will have a relationship with him."

The little Taoist priest took the waist card and sighed: "What about you?" ”

"I," Liu Meiren shook her head, "I will continue to stay in my cage, in my heart, slowly experience my love for him, and my regrets with him, until I die." As for the rest, hehe, what else can I do? ”

"It's late at night, you, please go back!"

"Me!" The little Taoist priest sighed.

What else can he say and what else can he do?

In silence, the little Taoist priest retreated step by step and disappeared into the darkness.

Turning back, he saw that under a lantern, the poignant woman, chanted:

Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

Moth snow willow golden wisps. The laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd is looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim.
