Chapter 030: A Few Joys, A Few Worries
Come up to the stone bridge alone, looking for you and not seeing you.
Unintentionally folded flower branches, twisted fingers fell into the bridge empty.
Trickle away with each other, laughing at my lonely body.
The resentful monarch still looks at the monarch, and the foolish eyes pierce the clouds.
The magnolia pendant is swaying, looking back at Jun is smiling.
The eyes of love are rippling, and the heart is full of flowers.
The spring breeze is stationed at the head of the alley, and the cloud fragrance is soft around the fingers.
Accompany the king out of the east of the city, panic and don't know the way.
The flying canopy blocks the hills, and the secluded path does not reach the end.
Hundreds of turns into the depths, the ancestral hall lies in the barren forest.
The peach branches grind the green tiles, and the wind complains of sadness.
At first glance, a peach blossom smiles.
Sighing to himself, adding a few sorrows in vain.
Jun laughs at me and worries, I laugh at Jun Shiguet.
Turning the wind into the hall, the immortal master sat upright.
The top incense is three kowtows, and the eyes are heartfelt.
The red rope knots in this world, and the paper book is in the next life.
From then on, he will accompany you, and the earth will be old and desolate.
Feng Ziying put all the wooden figures on the altar, squeezed the villain given to her by Xu Xianglin tightly in the palm of her hand, and said: "The immortal master is a little lonely and lonely when he stays alone in the ancestral hall, so let them accompany the immortal to relieve his boredom." Xu Xianglin said: "This is very good, the immortal master hangs the cane and scarf, is in charge of the marriage of the world, and maintains the marriage of thousands of miles, but he is alone in the smoke and clouds, and it is a little lonely to drink alone under the moon." The two hugged each other, Feng Ziying put the wooden man close to his chest and asked, "Xiang Lin, I remember the first time you and I met, I was just a down-and-out little woman, you... Why do you fall in love with me..."Xu Xianglin sniffed the fragrance between her hair and said:
"One glance, one moment, like in a dream."
"That's all?"
"A smile, a moment, a flower in the corner of the heart."
"And how.."
"A word, a moment, the tide is turbulent."
"So what..."
"A farewell, a moment, all lives are like children."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but snicker secretly, she quietly pressed against his chest, as if she was embracing a warm and infatuated world. That's it, Xu Xianglin asked her the same question, but she deliberately twisted and didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall, found the peach blossom, and said to herself: "The peach blooms two or three o'clock, reflecting a tree in spring." You are not like this to me. Xu Xianglin chased to his side and said: "Before the spring arrives, this peach blossom blooms first alone, it's really strange, I don't know if it bears the spring, or the spring loses it." The two of them sighed a little, and teased all the way back to the black wound.
Dusk is approaching, the lights in the city are bright, Ruolan and Sanjiu are tired, only then do they find that the sky is about to get dark, and they hurriedly go to Lin and Ziying, and they have found a few back and forth on East Street and have not seen anyone, Ruolan rushed back to Xu's Mansion first, leaving Sanjiu to continue to search. It wasn't until sunset that the two of them talked and laughed and returned to the house, but Sanjiu was beaten down by Ruolan again, and she complained about why she didn't tell her first, which made her worried.
Just parted, the longing was on my heart again, how deep the night was, how deep the longing was, Xu Xianglin was like this, and so was Feng Ziying. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the city burns ten thousand lanterns, clusters are like flowers and trees, ten miles are like day, three days are endless, the streets and alleys are full of firecrackers, and the sheng sings and dances. Xu Xianglin and Feng Ziying will meet on the stone bridge again, enjoy the thousands of lights, and see all the prosperity, which is the most happy thing in the world.
"Please report to the county magistrate, distant brothers and daughters ask to see." At the end of the hour, the sky was dark and quiet, the servant of the door was drowsy, and a woman suddenly appeared in front of the door of the Xu Mansion, covering her face with a thin veil, whispering like a cry, like a ghost, the servant was so frightened that he woke up and was short of breath, and did not dare to take a closer look, and hurriedly entered the house to pray.
The county ordered Chen Tong to change his clothes and fall asleep, and he was also taken aback when he heard the words, thinking about when he had a distant brother and daughter, the elder brother did, but he died young, and he did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, Chen Tong thought about it and said: "It must be a down-and-out woman from somewhere, there is no place to stay at night, just send away." The servant advised the woman to leave quickly, but the woman not only did not leave, but pestered endlessly, and untied the hairpin under the cry, and asked him to hand it over to Chen Tong.
Chen Tong frowned, took the hairpin and looked at it carefully, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't be very sure, so he called his wife Cai to look at him, and before he took the hairpin, Cai recognized the origin of the hairpin at a glance, and was immediately shocked, and said in a panic: "This..." This is Wan'er's hairpin! Chen Tong's face changed abruptly, and he asked with a grunt eyeball, "Madame really didn't look dazzled?" ”
Cai was anxious, and complained while dressing: "Oops! You old fool, why don't you even recognize your daughter's hairpin! Cai didn't bother to explain to him, and was about to go out in a panic, but Chen Tong grabbed her and said: "Madame, don't be impatient, Wan'er has married into the Yang Mansion, if she goes home to visit relatives, Yang Taishou should send someone to escort her, how can she come alone at this hour, there must be something strange inside..."
Cai's hearing this was even more panicked, Chen Tong thought for a while, and then called in the servant and said, "Quickly bring her into the room!" The servant led the woman into the house, and she kept looking left and right, as if she was a little anxious. Just seven days after the Shangyuan Festival, the city gradually returned to its usual scene, with the wind and the waning moon, and the slight coolness was still there.
The servant stepped back, the woman stepped into the bedroom, moved a few steps and stood upright, her hands clenched, as if she was trembling, without saying a word, Cai hurriedly closed the door, hurriedly walked in front of Chen Tong, covered her mouth with her eyes wide open, and the veil covered the woman's face, Chen Tong and Cai Shi did not see it really.
After a while, the woman slowly took off her veil, tears had already welled up in her eyes, and she fell to her knees, looking at the two of them. After seeing her face clearly, Cai Shi almost lost his voice and exclaimed, trying his best to suppress his voice and shouting, "Wan'er?!" Then he stepped closer and lowered his body to hold Wan'er's arm, tears in his eyes.
Chen Wan'er was dressed in thin clothes, shallow to cover the delicate jade body that couldn't help but be windy, her hair was messy to cover her forehead, and her face was haggard, especially the eyes that had fascinated countless men, but at this time they also became numb and dazed, full of deep and abyssal loneliness and vicissitudes, and endless life without love.
Cai's heart tightened, her body slumped and sat next to Chen Wan'er, holding her face and hurriedly asked, Wan'er burst into tears like a spring, and after a while, she plunged into Cai's arms, and whispered: "Mother's ....." Cai's hugged her tightly, her heart was like a knife, Chen Tong stepped forward to comfort, and it took a lot of work before the mother and daughter slowly got up.
Since the last time she fell down the mountain pass, Chen Wan'er was unconscious, and was rescued by a farmer chopping wood in the early morning of the next day. Chen Wan'er was worried about Yingchun's safety, and after thanking her husband and wife for saving their lives, she hurriedly went to Yang's Mansion to inquire about the situation, and only after several inquiries did she learn that Yingchun had been thrown into the barren forest and frozen to death.
Chen Wan'er was almost frightened and fainted, and hurriedly found the forest, but she could no longer find the shadow of Yingchun, even if it was a corpse, she was so grief-stricken that her tears dried up. Since Yingchun entered the mansion to serve her, she has never regarded Yingchun as a lowly servant, but as a sister who is as deep as the sea.
Chen Wan'er, who had nowhere to go, returned to the farmer's house, she thought about it and found that the person who married her was not herself, so she would definitely condemn the Chen Mansion, if she went back at this time, I was afraid that there would be more luck and less luck, if she didn't tell me in time, her father and mother were defenseless, wouldn't it hurt them.
After thinking about it, she still decided to stay for a while and go home when the wind passed. The dignified Lord Taishou, if he surrenders his crime for no reason because of a family matter, and declares a personal vendetta, I am afraid that it will make the people laugh and talk about it and lose its majesty, the smart Chen Wan'er thought of this, and expected that Yang Ji would not act rashly.
Yuanchen has passed, Shangyuan has passed away, Chen Wan'er is in front of the window every night, thinking about the distance, she thinks of every smiling face when the whole family sits around the table during the festival when she was a child, and remembers the scene where her brother Chen Xiu was scared to cry by the bursting firecrackers, and the joyful scene of enjoying the lanterns during the Shangyuan Festival, thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh. However, no matter how she disguised and diverted her thoughts, there was always a figure that inadvertently broke into her mind, so easily, so unexpectedly, this person was Xu Xianglin, an elegant and talented man who made her miss deeply and was haunted by her dreams.
When she thought of the appearance of him playing with his brother Chen Xiu when he was a child, reciting and reciting memorizations, her heart warmed like a flower, and every appearance he grew up from a child had already left a mark on her heart, maybe he had forgotten it, but she remembered. But in the blink of an eye, she thought that the moment she got married didn't wait for his answer, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and could only look at the waning moon to dispel her sadness.
Chen Tong and Cai's took turns to ask, and Chen Wan'er cried eloquently, full of tears. That's it, Cai's cried: "I shouldn't have agreed to this family affair at the beginning, but now it's good, I almost killed Wan'er..." I shouldn't have run away halfway, this is the eldest son of the Taishou Mansion to marry, and it is not an ordinary family, so recklessness will not only cause me to have a home and not be able to go back, but also affect my county commander, how should I move around with my colleagues in the future. ”
Wan'er sobbed when she heard this, and whispered: "If Daddy thinks that his daughter has affected the Chen family and you, Wan'er will leave..." My good daughter, Daddy is just quick to speak, don't take it to heart. Wan'er was speechless, and wept to herself.
On the second day, Chen Wan'er stayed in the boudoir with sad eyes, didn't think about tea and dinner, sat at the head of the bed in a daze, sometimes got up and paced, sometimes wanted to wipe her tears, so she was sad and pitiful. After the Yuanchen Festival, Chen Xiu devoted himself to studying poetry and books, and the morning and evening did not see the sun, and the servants took good care of him according to Chen Tong's instructions.
Although Chen Xiu and Xu Xianglin used to study together, but the temperament of the two is very different, Chen Xiu is dedicated to fame and fame, and reading is also down-to-earth, there is no need for Chen Tong to urge and bother, this year's big test, he secretly vowed to be high school grade, glorious lintel.
