Chapter 182: Xia Cicada (21)
Speaking of which, I did walk all the way, and saw a lot of flowers falling on the ground, but because of the hurried footsteps, I didn't look closely, now I think about it, the flowers and trees on the road, the shadows are full, I don't know what it looked like at the beginning, but on both sides of the road and in the yard, there are all kinds of flowers and trees, I lowered my head and looked at my palms, "This way, the trees on the road are lush and green, but I didn't see more May snow." ”
"This is because Mrs. likes it, and after marriage, she feels that this yard is bare, so she planted a lot of paulownia wood from this yard, which can be used as furniture, and the fruit can be refined into tung oil, and tung oil can be used as waterproof things, and it is also flammable, which is naturally a good thing." He took the initiative to divert the topic, and I vaguely understood the deep meaning, and lowered my head and refused to make a sound, just listening to him.
After talking for a while, I poured him a cup of tea and put it in his hand, he drank very slowly, and he was still a little tired after talking for so long. I laughed, and then said my opinion, "I know what you mean, all these years, the two of us just haven't spoken to the truth, and we don't have each other in our hearts for a long time." You don't have to talk to me about everything, I already understand. However, in addition to the love between men and women, you are more like my friend and relative, I came to see you today to see a friend and big brother who has maintained me for many years, nothing else, and there is nothing else between us. ”
"As soon as you came in, I could guess that you must have gone to great lengths to see me. Why do you want to fight against Your Majesty for my sake? ”
"Are you afraid that Your Majesty will be angry with you because of my confrontation?"
He smiled indifferently: "Are you deliberately angry with me?" ”
"If you are not afraid that he will be angry with you, you need not worry about me. If I don't come to see you, I'm not me. Naturally, I can't get his favor for so many years, Brother Tan, the May snow outside the hospital is really beautiful, you have to get better quickly. "Since he can use the May snow to change the subject, I can naturally do it too.
"Have you seen Yu He?" When it comes to the topic of him getting better, he seems to have something to say to me.
"What do I see him doing?" I don't have a good impression of this Yu He, a good face, everyone smiles when he speaks, but it's unpredictable, and it's best to stay away from this kind of person.
"He said that if I want to get better, Yuwangfu will hold a happy event to celebrate my joy."
"What? Are you going to drag this body to marry a second room? "I saw that he was serious, not like a joke, but I still couldn't help but tease him.
"I'm not joking with you, I'm going to marry a wife for my son."
"Your son didn't already have, a baby kiss that was set since childhood. Although I don't know who it is, since he has reached the age, it is good to marry and live. "I don't know what's important about it, he's going to talk about it here.
Before he could speak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and it was Zhao'er who came with me who walked in from outside the door, followed by a panicked girl, and when she looked closely, it was the new moon that was a little nervous and cramped.
"You two go to play elsewhere, I still have something to talk to Uncle Tan." I didn't take the two of them seriously, I just thought they were still playing together as they did when they were younger.
"Uncle, uncle, you are not a pedantic person, do you really believe in Chong Xizhi?" Zhao'er's voice trembled a little, and when I came to my senses, I only heard Rong Tan say, "Xinyue is now fourteen years old, and she is also at the age of marriage, and she will not be a side concubine with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the matter of marriage will not bother His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Rong Tan has always been kind to Zhao'er, but in this matter, he is very resolute, he disagreed from the beginning, Xinyue married Zhao'er, Xinyue didn't mean this, and with his support, Xinyue naturally refused very firmly.
"She would... Originally, it was going to be..."Zhao'er was speechless by the emotions in her heart.
I glanced at Crescent Moon and she looked at me with those dark eyes, I took a deep breath and said to Crescent Moon "What the hell do you think?" ”
"Since I can make my uncle's illness better, Xinyue has no opinion." Her tone was as assertive as her people, and no one could change it.
"That's good, that's good." With that, I stood up, took two steps out, and turned back again, "Zhao'er, you go out with the crescent moon first." ”
"Queen Mother..."Zhao'er wanted to say something more, but he sensed my anger, so he left the room with the crescent moon with his head down.
The door closed again, and before I could speak, Rong Tan smiled faintly, "Now, it should be his son who tastes the taste of being robbed of his beloved." ”
"I know you're not the one to think that. Do you have any other plans? New moon, how can a new moon ... She's still so young. ”
"Yun'e, everything has a fate, and no one can help it. You see this fate, when has it been up to us? Do you think I use the crescent moon as a shield for the Yuwang Mansion, yes, including her aunt, they all think so, but do you know what this girl said to me? Speaking of this, Rong Tan choked up a little, as if he was very touched.
"Say what? Do you still want to jump into your fire pit? Your son, although he is also both civil and military, and has a dignified appearance, I remember that he was not close to Xinyue since he was a child. When she marries Zhao'er, at least there is one person who can love her wholeheartedly. "I am naturally very angry, Zhao'er is not only the son of His Majesty, but also my son, so it is like my son being compared to the son of the Xu family.
"This girl is sensible, she knows that this series of things have happened in the family, all because His Majesty is jealous of Yuwangfu, she is too sensible, and she has always been like this. It's very different from you. ”
"What's wrong with me?"
"You have never been very sensible, but you have been sensible in major events in your life." In these words, I heard Rong Tan's resentment, and I wanted to explain, but he shook his head, "The past is over, Yun'e, our children are going to get married." You say we, how many more years can we live? ”
Walking out of the other house, I sat on the sedan chair in a trance, and the tassels that fell from the top shook as I walked, and I was a little dizzy.
I began to think and think slowly, from the beginning, and then to the present.
I learned a truth, that is, even if I didn't want to, this time flies like a stream, and it does dilute a lot of things. Because I found that although I didn't want to protect it, I really couldn't protect the Yuwang Mansion anymore.
Your Majesty is not only because of Rongtan will attack the Yu Wangfu, but also from another level, Your Majesty is also because of me, so he is reluctant to support 300,000 troops, 3,000 li of fiefdom, and is quite prestigious in the army, can respond to King Yu with a hundred calls. He really didn't dare to do it directly to King Yu, so His Majesty used roundabout tactics to start with the people around King Yu, his two grandsons, his sons.
In this matter, I thought of myself too much, and maybe from the beginning, I thought of myself too much.
Rong Tan may have liked me, although I don't want to admit it, but Xu is indeed a good woman, and Rong Tan also deserves a good woman with him in her heart, so Rong Tan's past with me is not very important.
The Queen Mother is right, your heart is like the sea, deep and unpredictable, and for so many years, she has indeed not seen through Rong Huan. He may have had his own scheming and city government since he was a little minion, but I didn't see it, but he didn't show it to me. I think I'm too smart for myself and too stupid for others.
I didn't go to the wedding of the new moon, Zhao'er locked herself in her palace, and went to the court as usual on the second day, but I vaguely felt that he was different, but I was still very stupid and couldn't figure out what was different about him.
As for Your Majesty, I have a slight expectation for him, that he will come to me and ask me for peace, and that I may make it difficult for him a few times, and at last we will be reconciled, as I have done so many times before.
I don't mind Rong Tan's accidental fall from his horse anymore. Because His Majesty has a reason for him to do it, and I can't stop it.
I was shocked by my change, I didn't expect that I would accept it so quickly, and I couldn't do anything about it, I looked at my palm, and the palm lines slowly disappeared. It seems that some things that were once in my heart, full of them, have also dissipated with time and slowly disappeared.
His Majesty still came, and he brought a plate of my favorite melon. This melon came from the Western Regions, and it took a lot of money to travel all the way. So even though I love to eat, I'm no longer allowed to pay tribute.
The yellow, orange and orange melons on the plate, fresh and juice flowing outward, are very attractive.
He just let people put it on the table, just one step away from my hand, and he calculated very clearly, if I reached out and took the melon, then it meant that I forgave him.
I flipped the page of the book in my hand, and instead of taking the melon, I turned my head and took the initiative to look at him, "Your Majesty, you listen to the summer cicadas singing outside." ”
"It's already so hot, it's natural for them to chirp." He didn't expect me to take the initiative to speak to him, and pushed the melon plate to my hand a little crampedly.
"They're really noisy." I closed the book in my hand, and I couldn't read a word of the cicada's chirping.
"I'm going to knock them down." With that, he stood up and walked outside.
"Didn't you think of a radical way so that I couldn't hear them? For example, tell me to cut down all the trees near my dormitory? "I feel a little wronged, this method, twenty years ago, Rong Tan thought of it for me.
After hearing this, he sat back in his original position with a smile, and only said to me after a while, "Yun'e, do you really hate Xia Cicada's voice?" ”
"Naturally, I'm annoying, it's really annoying." Without thinking, I answered categorically.
"Really?" He asked me again.
"Of course," I replied again.
"Really?" He still insisted, even in the same tone as last time.
"I don't have wings, I can't fly. I didn't have a deafening voice, so I had to be silent. I can't live like them, just one summer, their lives are short, but they live so freely. I envy them. I reached out and picked up a piece of honeydew melon, put it between my lips and took a bite, it was still sweet, crisp and juicy, and after the rich fragrance, the sweet tip of my tongue was even a little sour.
"You obviously like to eat this thing so much, why don't you let you pay tribute again?"
"Because I'm not a summer cicada, I have three other seasons in spring, autumn and winter." He looked at me and smiled, and then seemed to have made up his mind, but I knew that he had no way to say that, "I promise you, I will never do it like Rong Tan again." ”
It doesn't matter if he's like he says, for me. Anyway, I believe what he says.
But Rong Tan is still dead.
When I heard the news, I looked at the jade earrings that fell to the ground and fell to pieces, this jade earrings were the first time I wore today, and they were broken into foam, which was really a pity, but it didn't give me much time to pity, and the emotions and memories of the old days came to my heart, I covered my eyes, but my tears still flowed down my fingers.
He was already seriously injured, and the news he got in the past two months showed that it had improved greatly, but his yard was on fire, and the strong smell of tung oil almost made him faint, and he had no way to walk, so he could only crawl out of the fire with both hands. He was also very frightened, and after two days, he still couldn't get through.
This May snow, this May snow with treasures all over his mouth, is really a scourge.
One day after the funeral, I was looking through a few books of law for purifying my heart that Master Yu He had given me, and he was really omnipotent, which quickly calmed my heart. Someone sent in the post, saying that the princess of King Yu Xu's invited me to come over tomorrow, I read the post back and forth three times, and finally made sure that I was really not dazzled, she really wrote a post to me.
"Niangniang, Master Yu He has sent a new hand-copied law book." Si'er put two thick books in my hand, I glanced at the brazier burning at my feet, and put these two books in it, "Sure enough, there is nothing useless in this world." It's also good to use such waste to make fires. ”
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Si'er looked at me with some fear, just now, I was still holding Yu He's law book, like a treasure. But now I have a different face, and I am back to the same self that sneered at Yu He.
I smiled, "I originally hoped that through this method, maybe I could accumulate some merit for Rong Tan and let him ascend to Bliss early." But just now I saw Xu's post, and suddenly I figured out, I haven't lived to understand it in this life, why do I look forward to the next life? Go, go, go. Burn all these garbage books, and then, with water, rags and other things, clean the Kun Palace well, don't you think there is a miasma of smoke here during this time? ”
