Verse 68: The old place meets again
Seeing that he looked quite disgusted with her, the old bustard smiled and said, "Zhao Gongzi, now that you and I are standing under the same roof, no one should look down on anyone." Our lives are the same, I think that when I had no parents, I lived secretly, and now I can wear gold and silver, and hook up with people who have status and status, power and silver, aren't you the same? Being a man, born rich and noble, everything is naturally easy to get, but if you are born a lowly inferior person, climb to this position, who can not have blood on their hands and dirty on their hearts? You, you don't have to worry about Xiaoxiao's affairs, since you have chosen wealth and glory, you should no longer be greedy, and expect yourself to be upright, kind, affectionate and righteous. You always have to let some people down, it's just that Xiaoxiao is too unlucky. ”
Zhao Baiquan heard what she said quite a little reasonable, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking about the days of being enslaved in the past two years, he felt unspeakable, ashamed and angry, and every time he thought about it, he felt that his heart was dripping blood. He didn't have the face to pick up the reader's shelf again, and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, what Mom said is good! That's the same thing. Xiaoxiao she is very unlucky, she actually met me, I ......" he said this, his throat suddenly choked, his eyes turned red, he lay on the railing to hide his face and cried, crying very miserably.
Seeing him so busy, the old bustard said, "Yo! Zhao Gongzi, what's wrong with you? Look at your hurried appearance, you must have not rested here from the capital, okay, I'll arrange a place for you, find a girl to serve you? ”
Zhao Baiquan said: "Thank you mother for your kindness, I can't stay here, things are wrong, the longer I am here, the more sad I am, today is really bothering, Mom, this is to thank you, thank you for telling me something about Xiaoxiao." He took out ten taels of silver, and the old bustard smiled when he saw him: "Today's Zhao Gongzi is really extraordinary." After she took the money, Zhao Baiquan also turned around and left the Qinglou.
He found an inn in the city, went out into the streets during the day, and stayed at the inn for five days at night.
He didn't want to do the things that Prime Minister Luan Cheng explained to him, and he didn't have any clues to check, so he wandered around every day, eating and sleeping when he was tired of shopping. He suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with being alone like this.
He saw the poor vegetable farmer setting up a stall on the street corner, and then thought again, if he had no money, he would not be at ease, because he was very afraid of poverty, and he was always very careful with money, and he lived too many days without enough food and warm clothes, and that feeling was like living in purgatory, and he was often tortured and felt that it was difficult to live, so he gritted his teeth and studied hard, but he read and read, and he still lived so hard. He has money, but he is not as decent and dignified as the vegetable farmer, but he is reluctant to have money and power, which is the most painful problem in his life.
He recalled that all these years, the only comfortable time he had was with Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao is the most simple, gentle and kind girl in the world, although she looks mediocre, but at that time he was also a poor jingle ring. Xiaoxiao is not greedy for his money, can read and write, and the key is reasonable, not at all like the old and bad tempered crazy woman next to him now.
Thinking of that woman, he was full of hatred, she hurt his self-esteem, trampled on his dignity, he lived as well as a dog in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he really wanted to cut that woman with a thousand knives!
He has always wanted to kill her, but if he kills her, Prime Minister Luan will not let him go, he doesn't want to kill himself for such a woman. He felt that maybe he could step on the Luan family and break into the world alone with a little more effort, but he spent so much effort, but he still couldn't withstand Prime Minister Luan's words, people's breath was like a hurricane, and when he returned to the capital after a while, he would have nothing.
So what is he, is he Luan Xiang'er's slut's male pet?
He is a man who aspires to be an official!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he drank in the restaurant to kill his sorrows, drank from morning to night, and fell asleep once in the middle, Xiao Er came to pull him, but he didn't move, but threw Xiao Twenty or Thirty taels of silver, telling him to bring wine again.
The sun is getting lower and lower, and the shopkeeper is afraid that he will not leave, and he will not leave when he opens the door to do business, but if he spreads unreasonable, they can't do anything about him, so they lie that he has no alcohol, and want to persuade him to go, which Cheng thought that he would make trouble first, scolded and smashed in the store, and shouted: "What are you guys, dare to look down on me?" Everyone bullied me, hated me, what did I do wrong! From now on, if anyone bullies me again, I will definitely bully me back......"
He was drunk, and disturbed some of the young and vigorous young men, but when everyone saw that he was already drunk and unconscious, they did not follow him, and together with the men in the shop, they held him down, carried him out, and threw him far into the street.
Zhao Baiquan was a weak scholar, but now that he had drunk again, he couldn't even stand steadily, and after scolding for a few words, he only felt dizzy, and he couldn't see who carried him away, so he fell into the middle of the street and fell asleep.
Gradually, a group of people stopped to watch, although Anning County was his hometown, but he had no relatives and few friends, so he slept on the street for a long time and no one could ask who he was.
Coincidentally, there was a big market in the county town on this day, Xiao Wei accompanied Yingying to buy needlework and thread, and was about to go back at this time, but suddenly found that there were many people around the street in the distance. She is a good person who loves to be lively, so she squeezed up to take a look, but when she saw Zhao Baiquan, she felt a sudden tingling pain in her heart, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and she gasped!
Xiao Wei was taken aback, and secretly thought: "Zhao Baiquan! This is the Zhao Baiquan in that Xiaoxiao dream, that's right, it's him! Didn't he go to Beijing to marry another woman, why was he here, did he come back to find Xiaoxiao? ”
She was wondering to herself, when someone next to her asked, "Why, girl, do you know him?"
Another person said: "If you know him, get him away quickly, this is really lying on the street."
At this time, Zhao Baiquan opened his eyes again in a daze, he still couldn't see clearly, but he could still recognize Xiaoxiao's figure and face at once.
But seeing him struggling to get up, he staggered and pounced in front of Xiao Wei, clamped her shoulder, stared at her eyes, as if he was about to cry, and as if he was laughing, and said: "Am I dreaming, am I in a dream, you came to see me......"
Xiao Wei frowned, all her feelings about this person were not her own, it was Xiaoxiao's, this person had lost her, but Xiaoxiao couldn't forget him, she wanted an explanation, even if she would never forgive him and reconcile with him again, but she just wanted to hear an explanation, and he had to give her an explanation, which was the fairness she deserved.
Although Xiao Wei and Xiaoxiao have never known each other, she has always loved to fight and hug grievances, not to mention that she can live again, she still has to thank Xiaoxiao, so no matter whether she is reasonable or emotional, she should help Xiaoxiao and ask this dead scumbag clearly.
Xiao Wei waved his hands angrily and asked him: "This is not the place to talk, which inn do you live in, I will send you back, can you still leave by yourself?" ”
Zhao Baiquan was choked up and speechless, nodded again and again, Xiao Wei said, "Then lead the way." She saw that he was standing unsteadily, and he didn't stretch out his hand to hug each other, as if it was the first time they met, Zhao Baiquan woke up half as soon as he saw Xiaoxiaojiu, and at this time saw that her tone was cold, as if she had changed a person, she couldn't help but feel hot on her face, and felt embarrassed, so she lowered her head and said, "You come with me." He led Xiao Wei away.
Xiao Wei walked side by side with him, frowning all the way, only thinking about his own problems, Zhao Baiquan secretly glanced at her several times along the way, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart, Xiaoxiao now seemed to be much more powerful than a few years ago, and he was also much more indifferent, walking beside him like a piece of ice, freezing so cold that he also felt cold. He didn't dare to speak, so he took her all the way to his inn and to his room.
Xiao Wei sat down in the room and looked at Zhao Baiquan and said, "Ask Xiao Er to send some hot tea and cold water, you wash your face and drink water, sober up and we will talk again." ”
Zhao Baiquan listened to her firm tone, and didn't dare to disobey, so he had to agree to ask Xiao Er to send cold water and hot tea, he washed his face with cold water, and drank half a pot of steaming hot tea, feeling a little more energetic, and asked Xiao Wei: "I'm fine, I have a lot to say to you." ”
Xiao Wei looked at him and smiled: "Very good, I want to watch you tell me in a clear and clear state." Zhao Baiquan looked at her smile and felt a little gloomy, without any warmth, so he sat down on the side, looked at her cautiously and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you are Xiaoxiao, right!" Why are you so different now than you were then? ”
Xiao Wei sneered: "One was that I was young, and the other was that I pretended to be back then, and now I am the real me." I thought you could fight for a future and take me with you, but you abandoned me, and I didn't have to pretend when I thought about it. ”
He went straight into it with a single knife, and suddenly poked Zhao Baiquan's sore spot, his face turned red, his hand unconsciously grabbed the placket of his clothes, and he choked for a long time before he said with red eyes: "Xiaoxiao, I have a hard time, I still have you in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have come back to see you so far." I've been thinking about you for so long, just haven't had a chance. ”
Xiao Wei said: "Don't be busy talking to me about what to say, tell me first, why did you marry the daughter of that rich family back then?" ”
Zhao Baiquan said: "They forced me, I can't help it." They are not ordinary rich people, they are prime ministers! She is the prime minister's most favored youngest daughter, she has a crush on me, I can't help it! ”
Xiao Wei nodded and muttered, "Prime Minister Luan, it turns out that that is Prime Minister Luan's daughter." He remembered some things Mei Yuexue had told her, and vaguely remembered that there was such a person.
"Tell me, then, how did he force you? That woman pesters you, lying that you insulted her innocence and made her shameless? Or did she promise you a high-ranking official and no worries about food and clothing? Or did you take a fancy to the stepping stone of the Prime Minister's Mansion and want to use them to do your own thing? Xiao Wei has met Zhao Baiquan through some fragments over the years, and her emotions will follow Xiaoxiao in her dreams, but once she wakes up, she will only belong to herself, and she repeatedly re-examines Zhao Baiquan as a bystander through those impressions, thinking that he is a liar.
He kept saying that he didn't love the prime minister's daughter, but when he saw her back then, he was clearly very in love with her, and coaxed the woman to be shy and happy, if this is true, then this man is too good at pretending, too good at acting, he is not simple!
Xiao Wei pressed step by step, and Zhao Baiquan, who asked, was sweating on his head, and he was completely awake from this wine.
