Chapter 3 Broken Threads or Broken in Two
Three days later, Song Wenyu was invited to the outskirts of the capital. As soon as Song Wenyu got out of the carriage, he saw Meng Yiwei standing next to the reeds and waiting. It was March, and the reeds had not yet bloomed white flower spikes, Song Wenyu looked at the dead branches and leaves of this pond, and knew that Meng Yidi was sitting in the lake pavilion waiting for him.
"Go ahead, I'll be here to watch." Meng Yiwei saw that he didn't move, and urged loudly.
Song Wenyu nodded, and walked slowly towards the Huxin Pavilion, where the melodious sound of the piano came from, which was Meng Yidi's favorite song on weekdays. Ichidi's personal maid Xiaoliu saw him come in and bowed silently. While Meng Yidi was playing the piano, Song Wenyu kept looking at her.
Since the Song family received the holy decree of marriage, the two of them have broken off contact. This is the first time Song Wenyu has seen Meng Yidi in the past few months. Probably because of the initial recovery from a serious illness, she looked more haggard and thin than he remembered.
After playing the song, Meng Yidi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile when he looked up at him.
"Since you're here, don't say anything." She asked softly, with a hint of coquettishness in her words. It seems that everything is business as usual, but unfortunately things have long been different.
"You play so well, I can't bear to bother." Song Wenyu was still standing by the door, without any intention of sitting down. Meng Yidi understood that he didn't plan to stay for long.
"It's me who is willful, and I always want to see you again." Meng Yidi lowered his eyes and hid his heartbreak: "If it weren't for that, I would always be unwilling." ”
Meng Yidi said such a thing, which surprised Song Wenyu. In his impression, Ichiki is always so quiet and peaceful, and he doesn't seem to have emotions. Now she frankly said that she was unwilling, but Song Wenyu didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Song Wenyu was silent for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He reached into his sleeve and touched the smooth jade pendant. At this moment, Meng Yidi spoke again.
She ...... What does it look like? ”
Song Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that Meng Yidi was asking the daughter of the Shen family. He looked at Yidi with some complicated emotions and said, "It's what an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman should look like." ”
"And she...... What do you like to do on weekdays? Do you also caress the harp? Meng Yidi held back the grief in his heart and looked at Song Wenyu with tears. His lips, which were a little pale because of his weakness, were trembling slightly.
"Ichikaze." Song Wenyu sighed, and finally called her name: "Since you are not happy in your heart, you don't have to force yourself to talk about her with me." ”
"Well, too." A miserable smile appeared on Meng Yidi's face: "But...... I don't know what to say to you other than to talk about your new wife. ”
Song Wenyu looked at her mournful appearance, and only felt panicked in her heart. The jade pendant hidden in his sleeve was held a little tighter, and it was not until his palms were sweaty that he made up his mind to take it out.
Meng Yidi turned his head, and as soon as he saw the jade pendant, the whole person sat there paralyzed, and his face became even paler.
"Return to its rightful owner." Four simple words, but it took Song Wenyu a long time to say it completely. Seeing that Meng Yidi didn't answer, he gently rested it on the table: "Precious." ”
With that, he walked quickly out of the Lake Center Pavilion without looking back. Koyanagi stood aside and stomped his feet angrily at his resolute departure.
"Girl, why is he like this?"
Meng Yidi stared at the jade pendant with a pair of eyes, and shook his head helplessly while crying silently: "He is for my good." Otherwise, what else? ”
……
Five kilometers away from the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there is a small forest. Long before Song Wenyu came, Ah Jin had already sat there with a pot of wine and waited. She sat in the dense forest and listened to her husband say goodbye to the woman she loved, as if she were listening to someone else's story.
Seeing that Song Wenyu had left the reeds, she was still drinking there and didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, a chuckle interrupted her musings.
"Senior sister?" Ah Jin turned around coldly, but saw Liuli leaning against the trunk of a tree in purple, looking at him teasingly.
"What an eye-opener for me. I always thought that my sister was an ice sculpture beauty, but I didn't expect that there would be times when I was jealous and jealous. Ruri giggled, then sat down across from Ah Jin and begged her for a drink.
Ah Jin was helpless, and threw the half-drunk small wine jar into Liuli's arms: "Why did senior sister come to the royal capital." ”
"Guess?" Liuli took a sip of wine and wiped her mouth unsatisfied: "If you guess correctly, Senior Sister will help you teach this negative man a lesson." ”
"If you haven't been moved, how can you be negative." When Ah Jin said this, he suddenly laughed at himself: "Perhaps, he has long forgotten what happened twelve years ago." I don't think he'll think about it. ”
"You just have a hard mouth." Liuli glanced at her angrily, and when she looked to the side again, she happened to see Song Wenyu's carriage rushing to the city: "I see that you don't have much time, so I won't play guessing games with you." Ah Yin is gone. ”
"What?" Ah Jin was stunned: "Does the father-in-law know?" ”
"Who dares to let the Pavilion Master know." Liuli waved his hand: "The master can't find anyone in the unruly mountain, and the 'pigeons' released from all over the country have reported that they haven't seen the young master." So...... The master asked me to come to the capital to find you, to see if our sisters can find him. He didn't make a fuss. ”
"Okay, I got it." Ah Jin nodded, stood up and untied the reins of his mount: "Will you still stay in the capital?" ”
Liuli sat on the ground and drank wine, and replied lazily: "Within three days, you can go to Liang Chujian to find me." Three days later, let's talk about it. ”
"Then I'm one step ahead."
It seems that Liuli also came here with a mission this time, not just for Ah Yin. Ah Jin understood the rules in the pavilion, so he didn't ask in detail. Now she has more important things to do - she wants to return to the Song family before Song Wenyu.
……
Song Wenyu was silent along the way, and Huairen self-righteously felt that it was normal for Song Wenyu to be in a bad mood as soon as he said goodbye to Meng Yidi. So when Song Wenyu just stepped into the Song Mansion and went to Ah Jin's courtyard, Huairen's surprised look was all written on his face.
Song Wenyu saw it in his eyes and didn't explain much. In Ah Jin's courtyard, Ah Jiu was cleaning in the small courtyard. When I heard movement by the door, I looked up and saw that it was Song Wenyu, and I was also very surprised.
"Young Master." Although he was unhappy, Ah Jiu still saluted Song Wenyu.
"Ma'am." When Song Wenyu asked this, he kept staring at the closed door.
"Madame is in the house." Ah Jiu replied with a low brow. Song Wenyu wrinkled his brows and stared at the door for a long time, and was about to push the door to enter, when the sound of the piano came from the room.
Song Wenyu listened carefully, and suddenly his face changed. The woman in the room was playing Meng Yidi's best "Autumn Moon on the Peaceful Lake"
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Ah Jiu stood behind Song Wenyu, saw him standing there stiffly, and kindly stepped forward to ask. As soon as she finished speaking, Song Wenyu suddenly turned around and rushed out of Ah Jin's courtyard with a blue face.
Ah Jiu found that Huairen's face was as ugly as Song Wenyu's.
"What's going on?" Ah Jiu looked at the master and servant who left in a hurry with a puzzled face, puzzled. She shook her head, pushed the door open and walked into the room.
As soon as Ah Jiu settled the battle, Ah Jin stopped plucking the strings and put his hands on the guqin.
"Girl, Song Wenyu really came just now. But somehow, he left again. Ah Jiu tilted his head and thought for a long time: "Could it be that the girl used the nine-string technique on him?" ”
"Why bother." Ah Jin said as he stroked the guqin with his hand: "This is the piece that Meng Yidi played for him in the pavilion just now. ”
Ah Jiu was shocked when he heard this: "Girl, you are not afraid...... He suspects you? ”
"So what? He couldn't get the evidence. Ah Jin replied, as if he was angry with someone: "Only allow him to deceive me, and not allow me to be unhappy?" Since my heart is not happy, he should not be happy. Say I'm an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman? Am I just what an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman should be? ”
Ah Jiu listened to Ah Jin's words, covered his mouth and laughed for a while. The girl in her family will only have the appearance of a young girl in front of Song Wenyu.
"Ah Jiu, groom me after dinner later." Ah Jin was silent for a while, and then said suddenly.
"Huh? Where else is the girl going? Ah Jiu was stunned, thinking that she was going to cross-dress again.
"If you don't go anywhere, it's in the Song Mansion." Ah Jin didn't say it thoroughly, and deliberately sold it out.
