Chapter 107: Letter IV
After that, Li's attitude towards Yin Shiyun took a sharp turn. Sometimes I feel like human beings are so conflicted.
That night, it was obviously Yin Shiyun who didn't come, which made Feng Yan break off the idea of escaping, but the Li family was disappointed in Yin Shiyun because of this.
He came to the Feng Mansion several times to ask for a meeting, but was sternly rejected by the Li family. I lay on the wall of the Feng family and looked out at the handsome young man of the year, and sure enough, he had grown into a handsome boy in the wind of Yushu.
He was so good-looking that even an outsider like me couldn't hold a grudge against him, but I just felt that it was a pity to make people worse.
In the summer of that year, Feng Yan went to Daizong Mountain to retreat as usual, but she came back before the summer was over because her seventh sister Feng Wan fell from a mountain stream and broke her legs.
Feng Wan said that Feng Yan was vicious and pushed her down the mountain when she was unprepared. Such rumors are ridiculous, but the more ridiculous the rumors, the more people like to hear them.
Feng Yan didn't argue for herself, this time she didn't even go to Feng Wan to confront Feng Wan's courtyard wall was very high, and her courtyard was still very clean.
Just when I thought life was going to go on like this, you came. In the twenty-second year of Tianfu, Feng Yan was twenty-one years old, and the people who came to Feng's house to marry Feng Yan were still like carp crossing the river, but she didn't want any of them.
It was only then that I first heard the rumor that the Feng family's daughters would kill their husbands, and I heard it when the Li family came to Feng Yan.
Li said that among the people who came to propose marriage recently, there was a man who was about to be established, and he came from a humble background but had an innocent family background.
He grew up on Daizong Mountain, entered Si Tiantai since he was a child, and is still a small winter official. This person speaks decently, has a dignified appearance, and has a low official rank, but his style of action is neither humble nor arrogant.
Although they have only met a few times, they have won the hearts of Li and Feng Yuandao. The only thing that made Li feel a little unbearable was that this young man was an orphan.
Most of the men who joined the Feng family in the past were not the only children in the family, and even if they died, the Feng family could still repay his parents and brothers and even the clans that were in the same spirit.
A duckweed-like child like him, if he dies, there is nothing left. Feng Yan felt strange when she heard this, "Since there is no family behind this person, and there are no relatives, then why does he want to marry me" He said that he met you by chance on Daizong Mountain before, and it was love at first sight.
Feng Yan was even more strange, "What's his name?" and "Wei Xingzhen." When I heard the news, I was surprised, happy, and worried that I could never have imagined that an adult would approach Feng Yan in such a way.
I'm glad for you, and I feel a sense of relief that you've finally taken this step.
But I'm really entangled, I'm afraid that Feng Yan will unceremoniously give you an expulsion order like rejecting other men, and let your wish be frustrated; I'm afraid that you have really become the son-in-law of the Feng family, and when you live in this small courtyard, you will find that in Feng Yan's small backyard world, there is a dragon tongue that has been hidden for many years and has always admired you.
When the time comes, I don't know how to deal with the dilemma between you and me, and I don't know what kind of hope I should have. On the day Feng Yan went to see you, I probably fell into the most difficult problem to choose in my life, but I comforted myself that when Feng Yan came back, I would have the answer.
If she's happy, I'll leave, and if she's the same, I'll stay. But when Feng Yan came back that night, her face was neither joyful nor indifferent.
It's surprise, it's confusion, it's a bewilderment, and there's a little bit of anticipation. Although I didn't know exactly what happened that night, I had a vague feeling that it was about to happen, and after thinking about it, I decided to stay and see.
Sure enough, the Feng family quickly agreed to this family affair, because Feng Yan, who has always rejected people thousands of miles away, actually nodded to this marriage.
Before the wedding, you moved into Feng's mansion and lived in a guest house not far from Feng Yan. At that time, Feng Yan was often on the second floor of the small courtyard, silently looking at your guest house, although her face did not have the slightest shyness of a woman's Huaichun, but from the moment you moved into Feng's house, she paid attention to your every move.
I was amazed. Because at that time, I couldn't think of any way you used to make Feng Yan care about you so much when she only saw you.
I was anxious about your long hibernation, and I was too worried. The second time you met was in Feng Yan's courtyard.
Old Madam Feng, Uncle Feng, and the Li family came with you, and I was a little caught off guard and took a look at you, you walked at the back of everyone, and when they all entered the house, you stopped and looked around the courtyard in silence.
You didn't notice me. Though your gaze fell on me briefly. For the first time, I felt the weight of sorrow, but then inexplicably relieved.
I don't know what you were looking at at the time, but I figured that since you didn't notice me, I could have stayed here.
I listened quietly through Feng Yan's window as you talked about the wedding date. There are two auspicious times given by the hexagram master, one is the Yin time on the day of the summer solstice, and the other is the unitary time of the next day.
Li laughed at the time of the "summer solstice", a long marriage, marriage, to do a happy event at the twilight hour, how can anyone choose to marry when the sky is not dawn, so everyone set the day on the second day of the summer solstice.
There is a Xi Po to introduce you and Feng Yan to the process of the day, because the elders of the Feng family like you very much, so they have raised the specifications of this happy event.
You'll wear a wedding gown, ride a white horse, and walk around the city with a sedan chair. Xi Po said a lot more, and that was the first time I realized that people's marriage was such a troublesome thing.
But you wrote it all down, piece by piece. In the months when the wedding was approaching, you began to play the piano in the guest house, Feng Yan was listening, and I was also listening, I didn't know that you also have such a good piano skill.
However, Feng Yan often frowned when she listened to it, at first I didn't know why, but later I learned that there were a few mistakes and omissions in the song you played.
Feng Yan was uncomfortable when she heard it, so she knocked on your door and corrected it herself. Then the sound of the piano in the small courtyard played again, and I watched in amazement.
Sometimes I am a little discouraged, if I have half your talent in making friends, maybe I can stand in Feng Yan's courtyard today and listen to you two play the piano as her friend.
The day after the summer solstice, I slipped away early on the street where your wedding sedan must pass.
I've picked a good spot for myself and I'm waiting for you to cross the streets. However, things didn't go as smoothly as I thought they would.
That day was the first time I met a martyr.
