Chapter 159: Fang Zhetao rescues Zhang Helan
Peony's life in Suzhou is very good, except for thinking about Xu Lang every day, everything else is good. The harmonious neighborhood, beautiful scenery, and rich ink literature have stimulated her infinite interest in poetry.
After she married Xu Lang, she rarely used martial arts to make ink, and after the children were born, she taught them the basics of poetry and literature, and later invited a very prestigious Taifu, so she was idle and concentrated on Xu Lang's life.
In order to pass the time, she sometimes went to poetry clubs, which were full of talented literati and all kinds of people.
One of them, Mr. Jia, was about forty years old and was a brilliant writer, and his poems were quite popular.
Peony has read several of his poems, likes them very much, and comes here to listen to him explain his insights on life. He was a gentleman with a lot of experience, and it's no wonder that the poems are so well written. Peony was attracted by his talent and temperament, and also wrote some poems and put them in the poetry club.
Mr. Jia also admired the peony, and the two talked a few times, very speculatively, and slowly became a confidant in life.
He is also a celebrity, tired of the world, and no longer enters the world. I only like poetry, if I don't have food and clothing, I will write a few poems and auction them at the poetry club, and I live a hard life but I am also comfortable.
Peony admires such a person who does not follow the crowd, she is a person who is entangled by the world, and she is also troubled by the world.
After talking a few times, Peony asked, "Mr. Jia, don't you feel lonely when you are alone all the year round?" ”
Mr. Jia smiled: "With these poems and texts with me, how can I be lonely?" ”
"Sir, proud and independent, admirable."
Mr. Jia chuckled and said, "Madame wouldn't want such a life. ”
Peony shook his head: "Yes, I have people to worry about, and there are things I can't let go, disturbed by the world, and I can't be compared with Mr." ”
Mr. Jia: "Why does that lady live here alone?" ”
Peony smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say. ”
"The reason why I am tired of the bondage of the world is because the human heart is fathomable. Regardless of the reason. ”
"Have you ever had a hard time, sir?"
Mr. Jia said helplessly: "I once promised a wife at home, and when I got married, I was very affectionate, and in less than a year, she always accused me for no reason. No matter what I do, it's not as she wants. When I asked her how I could correct it, she said I had to guess for myself. Several times in this way, our relationship became increasingly strained, and finally we left. ”
Peony sighed: "Women in the world just want to find a stable life and a husband who loves them. You're ignoring him too much, aren't you? ”
"Don't talk about this, can my wife live comfortably in Suzhou alone?"
"It's not bad, at least it's okay."
Seeing her sadness, he comforted: "If the past cannot be recovered, you still have to look forward, life is still very long." ”
"Well, I'm trying to forget."
"I'm boating and fishing in Qinghu Lake tomorrow, is my wife going to relax?"
Peony refused: "That's too rude." ”
Mr. Jia said with a smile: "I am fishing to supplement rations, and when I think about the difficulties of people's livelihood, I have no worries." ”
Peony: "I don't need to worry about my livelihood. ”
"So you love to be cranky, you go and look at the people who are running around for life all day, their troubles are simple, and they are having a good time."
Peony will be mistaken and ask, "Are there many people there?" ”
"Of course, there are men, women and children, and it's very lively"
"Okay, then I'll check it out tomorrow."
Zhang Helan was very annoyed by Fang Zhetao's entanglement, she was very conflicted in her heart, first, she didn't know whether she should accept him again, and the world couldn't tolerate their union, and she would have to face a lot of pressure in the future.
The second is that she still loves him in her heart, and she is afraid that he is just a teenager. In the end, he ended up in disrepute, and this kind of feeling is terrible.
She was so preoccupied that she went to the table in her room to get a book, and accidentally overturned the candle on the table, and she was unconscious, so she went to the bed and sat down to think about the relationship. When the flames grew bigger and bigger, through the curtain, there was already a raging fire outside.
When she sank, there was almost a sea of fire outside, she was terrified, when did the fire start, what was going on?
She couldn't get out of the door, she pushed open the window and wanted to jump out, but unfortunately, in the hurry, she didn't step on the chair, and the whole person slipped down, and her foot was broken, unable to move.
In the dead of night, her maid was asleep in the next room. She could only desperately shout for help.
Fang Zhetao's entourage looked. When he went to the firelight, he woke him up: "Young master, look, the medical hall is on fire." ”
Fang Zhetao woke up, frightened, and hurriedly ran to his entourage to call someone to put out the fire. He ran to the infirmary, wanting to make sure Fang Helan was safe.
He didn't see Fang Helan in the courtyard, and shouted desperately: "Helan, where are you?" ”
The movement was too loud, and her maid finally woke up, and she hurriedly said: "What's the fire, put out the fire quickly!" ”
Fang Zhetao's entourage called out to the nearby neighbors, who came to put out the fire with water.
He asked, "Where's your young lady?" Why didn't you see her? ”
The maid said, "She's still in the room." ”
At this moment, a faint cry for help came from the room.
Fang Zhetao didn't care about anything else, so he wanted to rush in. His entourage stopped him and said, "Young Master, it's dangerous inside, you can't go in." ”
He shook off his entourage and was about to rush in. The attendant pulled him: "Young master, you have to go in, what if something happens?" What about the old lady? ”
He didn't care much, and said sharply: "Don't stop me, if you don't go in for a moment, Helan will be more dangerous." I've got to get her back. ”
"Young master, the fire is too big, and you may not be able to save her if you go in. Why make more sacrifices. ”
Fang Zhetao slapped him and said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will smash your mouth." ”
The entourage didn't dare to say anything more, and another attendant took a bucket of water and poured it on his whole body: "Young master, then you go and go back quickly." ”
He didn't hesitate to break into the house, the fire was so strong that even if he covered his nose, the smoke could choke on his breath. The flames and fire particles around him burned red. At this moment, he had completely forgotten all this, and only one thought was to get her out.
Fortunately, her room is not big, the outside one, and a small cubicle inside is her bedroom. finally found the dying Zhang Helan under the table.
He hugged her and said, "Helan, don't be afraid, I'll take you out." ”
Zhang Helan was choked by the smoke and almost lost consciousness, but this sentence was firmly engraved in her heart. She struggled to keep her eyes open and saw his flustered face. She put her arms around his neck, very tight, very tight. She never wanted to let go again in her life.
Fang Zhetao saw that the fire outside was too big, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go out from the door again. So, he hugged Zhang Helan, climbed onto the table, and jumped out of the window.
There are also some flames in the window, but a little smaller than the fire outside.
He jumped down, and after landing on the ground, the edge of the window was burned and fell down, hitting Fang Zhetao's right calf.
That's when he bared his teeth in pain. When the firefighters outside saw them go out, they hurried to remove them.
The fire cannot be extinguished, it can only be left to burn. Fortunately, there were no other residents here, but the medical hall was burned to the ground.
The medical center here could no longer save people, so everyone had to send them to the nearest medical center for treatment.
Zhang Helan was choked by the smoke, her feet reached the point, and there was no major problem, and she woke up after resting for a while.
Fang Zhetao's condition is more serious, he has a lot of burns and wounds, some of which are blistered and peeled. On top of that, his leg was smashed and the bones inside were shattered, which could lead to lifelong disability.
Zhang Helan was very distressed, gave him medicine, and tears flowed down.
Fang Zhetao comforted: "Helan, don't cry, I'm fine." ”
Zhang Helan cried and shook her head: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." It was I who was absent-minded and knocked over the candle flame, and you made it like this to save me. ”
Fang Zhetao said weakly: "I'm really fine, I think my legs will always get better." ”
Zhang Helan is a healer, and she knows better than anyone that his leg will never get better. It's good enough to be able to walk with a limp.
The most important thing at the moment is to let him adjust his mentality, and it is important to recuperate from his injuries. She said softly: "Well, as long as you take your medicine well, and I will change your medicine frequently, you will definitely get better." ”
Fang Zhetao smiled: "Well, I will definitely get better." Helan, have you forgiven me? ”
Zhang Helan nodded and said: "Well, I have forgiven you, since you picked me up from the fire, I have thought about it, and in this life, I will rely on you." Even if you don't want me, I'll rely on you. ”
Fang Zhetao asked weakly, "What if I really become lame?" ”
Fang Helan said firmly: "Even if you become lame, I will marry you." Even if your family opposes it, I will marry you, and even if you have nothing, I can open another hospital to support you. In this life, I want to be with you. If you dare not marry me, I will ask the queen to ask the emperor to give us a marriage. If you dare not marry me, you will be beheaded. ”
Fang Zhetao joked: "You woman is too ruthless, then I want to do something after marriage, isn't it very dangerous." ”
"You've fallen into my hands for the rest of your life, and you still dare to make trouble? Be careful that I torture you. ”
"Ahh Then I regret it, can I not marry? ”
"Marry me or kill the head, you choose the same."
"Then I'll marry you! My life is quite precious. ”
Seeing that they were reconciled, everyone had mixed feelings, but they didn't expect this to be the result. In the future, Young Master Fang will be lame, and I don't know if he can accept it, such a high-spirited young man will become a cripple for life, and no one can stand it.
Peony followed Mr. Jia's advice and went fishing. There are really a lot of people here, all of them are some poor people in the neighborhood. There are many teenagers who come to fish. They caught fish and sold it for money to buy rice.
If there are fewer fish, they are very disappointed, because there are only a few days of the month in the lake suitable for fishing, and if you catch more fish at one time, you can exchange it for several months of food, and if you have fewer fish, you can exchange it for more than a month's food.
Peony was very distressed when she saw them working so hard, but there were many poor people, and she couldn't help them.
After about two hours, she saw that the people were smiling, and it seemed that the harvest was good.
She also took a small net and wanted to catch a few fish and go back.
Mr. Jia saw it and said with a smile: "Madam, fishing is not like this. You see, like they do. He pointed to the children, who spread out their nets, and after a while, put them away again, and each time they caught a few fish.
Those who have boats go to the middle of the lake to release their nets and catch more fish.
Mr. Jia said, "Come up!" We went a little further away to fish. ”
Peony was on the rise, so he agreed to his request, and the two rowed a boat to put a net in a farther place, and really caught a lot of fish. Peony exclaimed excitedly, "Sir, you see, we have caught a lot of fish!" ”
Mr. Jia smiled: "Well, today's harvest is good. ”
put a few nets, and almost all of them returned with a full load. When they put the nets on the shore, they put the big fish in buckets, and the small fish are all released back into the lake.
Mr. Jia only brought a bucket, and he couldn't hold so many fish.
He said to the children, "Whoever of you catches less fish, I have more here, so divide it!" ”
The children came over happily and asked for a share of the fish. Some of the children didn't come.
Peony asked, "Is this what you are fishing for?" ”
Mr. Jia laughed and said, "I can't eat so much, and these extra ones are just for these children." ”
"Mr. Jia, thank you."
"Mr. Jia, when my family cooks the fish, will you eat it?"
Mr. Jia happily chatted with the children, and when the extra fish were separated, he skewered a fish with straw and handed it to Peony: "Is this one enough for you?" I'm going to take the rest with me! ”
He was about to go back with the bucket.
Peony smiled: "Enough, thank you." ”
"You go back and try it, the fish you caught is very good."
After Peony said goodbye to him, he went back and made this fish, which was indeed very delicious. All the troubles of this day have been forgotten, and it seems that if I go to do more work in the future, my heart will not be so chaotic.
Xu Lang received the report from the secret guard, and his face was almost crooked.
Peony is really good, she has only been away for less than a month, and she has talked and laughed with other men, it seems that she really wants to forget him.
But at the moment, he can't do anything, he has to be responsible for Xiao Fang, and in two months, he will marry Xiao Fang. He's really going crazy.
Pei Sheng saw him looking like he was about to die and asked, "Xu Lang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Lang: "Your Majesty, I'm fine." ”
"You're okay crying with a sad face, who owes you money and doesn't pay it back?"
Zhang Shuo replied: "Who else can there be, isn't it a peony?" I heard that he met a confidant, who was full of poetry and literature, full of experience, and like-minded with Peony, and it is estimated that he will soon be able to achieve good things......"
Xu Lang said angrily: "Zhang Shuo, what nonsense are you talking about? What is a good thing, do you talk like that? ”
Zhang Shuo said helplessly: "It's not that after I saw the return of the dark guard, you were so depressed. When Qiu Yue came back, she also said that she and Mr. Jia were quite speculative, didn't I guess? ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "Xu Lang, Peony was divorced by you, and it is understandable that she wants to marry someone else, what do you want to do?" ”
Xu Lang's expression of almost crying: "We have been in a relationship for so many years, and she has only liked someone else in a month, what's going on?" ”
Zhang Shuo: "Obviously, you divorced her!" And you haven't divorced her yet, so you don't know Xiao Fang, otherwise can there be these things behind? ”
"I'm innocent with Xiao Fang."
"Then what do you say about marrying Xiao Fang?"
"Do you think I want to?"
"Then you tell Peony, what's the use of yelling at me here?"
