Gongsun Yin was very anxious because Xu Tao inexplicably cut off all the ways to meet. Gongsun Hua was seriously ill at this time, he took care of it day and night, and he was worried that Xu Tao would suddenly not be angry and remove all the stones in those dog caves, so once Gongsun Hua rested, he went to the wall to rest against the wall, or found a way to sneak over. There are many times to slip away, and there are many times to be discovered, so the maids are changing more and more frequently, and all of them are very energetic, and there is no chance to go at all.
It has been more than ten days, and Gongsun Yin still came to the wall according to this habit at night, and by the end of the night, he was already tired and leaning against the wall and falling asleep. In a daze, I heard a delicate and cold voice, "You guys retreat first, go back to the wing room to pack your things, and leave tomorrow." ”
Gongsun Yin didn't hear her words clearly, but he clearly heard his familiar voice. He hurriedly tried to climb the wall, but due to the improper rest of the day, he had long lost the strength to climb the wall, and halfway up, he fell backwards in fatigue.
"Brother Yin doesn't have to waste any more energy, I'm leaving, and you won't be able to see me if you go over the wall. Xu Tao listened to the sound of Gongsun Yin falling down on the side of the wall, and covered his mouth in pain, but he still insisted on leveling his tone.
Gongsun Yin got up from the ground, saw her talking, and hurriedly leaned on the wall trying to talk to her, "I'm sorry Xiao Tao, I may have done something that made you very uncomfortable, I really apologize to you, I hope you will forgive." ”
Xu Tao raised his eyes, and there was a bright and full moon in the sky. Her eyes suddenly burst into tears, I wonder if I can still watch the moon with Brother Yin in the future? She said softly in a low voice, "Brother Yin, you are not wrong at all, look up at the moon, how full the moon is, how much I like you." ”
Xu Tao stood alone in the night, and a crystal tear fell on her long eyelashes, crossing her pale cheeks.
Gongsun Yin listened to her suddenly hot words, and before he could react, he heard her say in a weak tone, "Xiao Gong, you tell those maids who have already packed up to continue to guard here, I'm tired, go and rest first." ”
Xiao Gong looked at his master distressedly and promised.
Gongsun Yin suddenly realized something, and slapped the wall and shouted, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, stop, I know, I know everything." ”
Xu Tao's footsteps were really stunned, and her tearful face faced the dark low wall again, and there was already a blurred light and shadow in front of her, Brother Yin, don't see you anymore. Maybe goodbye, I'm someone else's wife, and I'm no longer a girl who can call you Brother Yin.
The silence in the air seemed to acquiesce to his conjecture, and he collapsed limply against the wall. All this abnormality is because she is leaving, she can't bear to say goodbye, she can't bear to break the habit of being honest with him, at the age of fifteen, if she leaves, she will definitely get married. The person who used to call him brother glutinously, the girl he once wanted to hold in his arms and care for the most, will leave tomorrow. He suddenly felt pain and weakness all over his body, he slowly got up, and went to see Gongsun Hua again, and his father was a rare deep sleep.
He stumbled outside the mansion and ran to the door of the Xu Mansion, the night was dark, and he could only see the golden plaque hanging in front of the door. That's enough, as long as he can stay in the Xu family, and he can look at her from a distance, it's enough. Maybe it's because he is too active, always disturbing Xiao Tao's purity, which makes the Xu family and his wife unhappy, as long as he waits until tomorrow as soon as the door of his mansion opens, he will rush in, even if he kneels down and begs the Xu family and his wife, and swears that he will never see her again, as long as Xu Tao can still appear in his sight.
He raised his eyes, the moonlight was getting lighter and faer, and his heart was empty. The scenery in front of him seemed to turn into a thick black, and he felt a pain behind him, and his mind was suddenly broken. The vermilion gate was slowly pushed open, and a shoe embroidered with many patterns stepped out.
"Come on, throw him to Yile Building for me, just a person like him, dare to think about my little peach. "The person who came was the wife of the Xu family and Xu Tao's mother.
"Childe, you slept very heavily yesterday, and Chun Tao hasn't had time to serve you yet?" Gongsun Yin finally had the strength to open his eyes, and he heard a girl he didn't know blowing in his ear.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly pushed her away from his body, and looked around, but it was not outside the door of Xu's mansion. He suddenly realized that he had been brought here on purpose, and then in a panic he took out some money from his body and gave it to the girl, and said busily, "Girl, do you know who sent me here?"
"Little boy, the person who sent you here is the big housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, and he specially told me not to let the son go until morning. Chun Tao's eyes were frivolous, and she looked like she was about to pounce.
Gongsun Yin's eyes suddenly turned cold, put on the coat that had fallen off at some point, and then rushed out of the door. He ran out of the street in disheveled clothes, and saw that there was no one on the street, and it seemed that it was still early, so he ran out of breath all the way to the outside of Xu's mansion, and saw a carved gold carriage waiting outside. He was overjoyed and sighed happily.
Looking up, the neatly dressed Xu Tao didn't know when she appeared in front of the Xu Mansion, she looked at Gongsun Yin with a sad gaze, his clothes were really messy, it seemed that what his mother said was true, he could really say that he would abandon her, he obviously knew that he was leaving, but he went to the Qinglou to spend the night with other girls, she thought of her brother Yin one after another, remembered that he called her Xiao Tao gently one after another, she also thought that the tenderness in his eyes was true, but she didn't expect it to be the same as the surface she saw for the first time, cold and ruthless.
Mrs. Xu walked behind her, she saw Gongsun Yin at a loss at the door, and saw her unbelievable daughter, the corners of her mouth faintly hooked a smile, she gently patted her daughter's back, "Daughter, look, aren't men like this?"
When Gongsun Yin saw Mrs. Xu's secretly smug smile, he remembered that he was going to persuade them not to leave. He hurriedly rushed up and knelt down in front of them, "Mrs. Xu, I pestered Xu Tao before, as long as you can stay here, I am willing to never see Xiao Tao again in this life and this life." ”
When Xu Tao saw him like this, he immediately wanted to help him up, but when he remembered that he had spent the night with other women, he suddenly felt sad and painful. There was a hint of sadness in her voice, "Now that you're in the matter, you can just say it if you want to get out of touch with me." Brother Yin, in the end, we are still fated. ”
Gongsun Yin looked up at her, she was shocked, the eyes that had looked at her countless times were still clear and bright, how could she doubt him? How could he do such a thing? She subconsciously looked at her mother who was secretly sneering on the side, and suddenly understood a little in her heart.
"Xiao Tao, I was originally waiting outside the Xu Mansion to say this, but when I opened my eyes this morning, I was in Yile Building, I didn't have anything to do with that girl, you believe me, I never lied to you. Gongsun Yin was afraid that she would misunderstand herself, so she blurted out.
Xu Tao understood everything, she clenched her fists, and sure enough, it was only her brother's mother who did it. But she is also destined to have no chance with Gongsun Yin, if she persists and says that she believes in him, it will only give him greater expectations. The greater the expectations, the more disappointments.
"Don't say it, I understand. With tears in the corners of her eyes, she walked towards the carriage, Gongsun Yin hurriedly went up to grab her, but was stopped by Mrs. Xu, "What tricks do you want to make for me?"
Xu Tao never looked back, Gongsun Yin looked at her decisive figure, and suddenly a piece of something was missing in his heart. He turned his head indifferently, pointed to Mrs. Guo's head and said coldly, "If you dare to make her unhappy, I will definitely not make you happy." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the old courtyard, Xu Tao in the carriage heard their voices gradually disappearing, so he dared to gently raise the curtain to see, but it was already empty outside.
Mrs. Xu also got into the carriage in one step, and when she saw that she was reluctant, she said, "He is a prodigal son, don't do it." ”
Seeing Xu Tao's eyes shining, he sneered at her, "Mother, don't think I didn't know you did it." ”
Many years have passed, and Gongsun Yin has long been different from his cowardly and useless father, winning the champion and entering the court as an official.
But that was the beginning of the source of his pain.
When you first enter the officialdom of Western Zhao, you will inevitably hear the name of the Chen family, which is a famous power gate in Western Zhao.
"The champion was also born poor, so he can understand how lucky it is to be the kind of person who is like you, but who is far away from you because of his illustrious family. Xin Wen said to himself while pouring wine for Gongsun Yin.
Gongsun Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips, "What you said is full of sourness." ”
Xin Wen pouted disdainfully, "Like the Quan Sect, none of them are kind-hearted." Isn't this Chen family just that, relying on the official positions of those sons, how many daughters of businessmen they married and how much wealth they gained. ”
Gongsun Yin frowned suspiciously, suddenly remembered Xu Tao's face in his heart, his eyes were slightly dim, and asked, "What does Brother Xin mean by this?"
"You don't know that a few years ago, the Chen family recruited relatives, and the recruits were all the daughters of big businessmen, as a result, these daughters of businessmen all came to the Chen family with a huge amount of dowry, and the result was good, the three young ladies who married into the Chen family together all died. ”
Gongsun Yin's brows furrowed even deeper, "Isn't this group of people cheating money, and they are really losing their conscience." ”
Xin Wen saw that he really didn't seem to know anything, and said hurriedly, "I heard that the worst one here is the daughter of the Xu family." He was talking energetically, but he didn't notice that Gongsun Yin beside him was like ashes, and he was still babbling, "I heard that it is called Xu Tao." ”
Gongsun Yin's wine glass suddenly slipped from his hand, his eyes were full of tears, and he said in a choked tone, "Brother Xin, can you please say that woman's name again?"
Xin Wen was also taken aback by him, and thought about it again and again, it was indeed this woman named Xu Tao, "Yes, it is this woman named Xu Tao." ”
Gongsun Yin felt an unspeakable anger welling up in his heart, and great regret almost washed away all his senses. How could it be her, how could it be her, it was her who he had the most regrets, he picked up the sword beside him and rushed out. Xin Wen saw him suddenly go berserk and hurriedly wanted to catch up, but at this time, Gongsun Yin was already out of control, and his eyes were fierce, "Brother Xin, leave me alone, today's incident is very important to me." ”
It began to rain bits and pieces outside, and he almost ran out of control on the street, carrying a dazzling sword, looking for the plaques of the Xu Mansion one by one.
After a while, I found it. He stood in front of this plaque again, and the cold rain falling on him did not calm him down, but made him feel more annoyed and wronged. He kicked open the door that was not tightened, and after taking two steps, a maidservant who had come to bring tea saw him, and was busy shouting for help, but he coldly held the sword against his neck, and could only try to cover his mouth.
"Take me to your lady's house. ”
The girl nodded hurriedly, and walked tremblingly all the way, when suddenly a pleasant and familiar laughter came from the room he had just passed by, his eyes were cold, and he turned around and kicked the door open, and the person in the door was indeed Mrs. Xu, who had the familiar ugly, and the one sitting next to him was Xu Tao's younger brother, Xu Shen.
Mrs. Xu heard a sudden violent sound from the door, and turned her head to see that it was Gongsun Yin, who was drenched in the rain and had a fierce face.
"Do you remember what I said in front of the Xu Mansion that year?" Gongsun Yin raised his head faintly, and the killing intent in his eyes fluctuated brightly.
When Mrs. Xu saw him like this, she couldn't help but tremble a little, "What do you want to do, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what else do you want to do? ”
Gongsun Yin smiled coldly, "I, I don't care about my life, my father is dead, Xiao Tao is dead, and everything that can make me remember in this world is gone." I'm asking you, why do you want Xiao Tao to marry even though you know that the Chen Mansion is a trap. ”
Seeing his irrational and indifferent look, Mrs. Xu's eyes were a little flustered, "My daughter, she will marry whoever I want her to marry." What's the matter with you?"
The cold sword was on Mrs. Xu's neck in a blink of an eye, and she had to meet the bloody eyes in front of her, "In your eyes, is she just a prop, just a victim to give Xu Shen a bright future?"
Xu Shen on the side had already run to the inner room to hide, and Mrs. Guo Xu felt much more relieved when she saw her son run away. "Do you think I don't grieve Xiao Tao's death? She was killed by the royal family, the Chen family, and even more for the Xu family. She is a woman, and she should have sacrificed for the Xu family. ”
