Chapter 22: The Heartstrings

It was late at night, and Yue Yue sent Jiang Zhengxin back to the courtyard where she lived.

This courtyard was the former residence of Yu Yue, and he gave it to Jiang Zhengxin, and he temporarily moved to his brother's residence.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see eight purple flower trees, the branches and crowns are connected to almost cover the huge courtyard, and the purple flowers are densely blooming on them. The courtyard was covered with falling petals, like a purple carpet of flowers, and the feet stepped on it, making a rustling sound.

Jiang Zhengxin asked, "What is the name of this flower tree?" I've never seen it. ”

"It's a jacaranda." Wei Yue raised her hand and caught a purple japonica petal that was about to fall on Jiang Zhengxin's body, "I don't know where I found it, but every year on my birthday, my father will plant such a purple tree in my yard." ”

His hand fell just right, and he stopped lightly in Jiang Zhengxin's ear, not touching her at all, but Jiang Zhengxin still couldn't help but breathe, and the rhythm in his heart was a little messy, if it weren't for the darkness of the night, Yu Yue was afraid that she would be able to see a thin layer of pink in her ears.

Yu Yue withdrew her hand, held the petals in her palm, and said to her, "Go to bed early, I'll wait for you here tomorrow and watch the sunrise together." ”

Jiang Zhengxin nodded, turned around and pushed the door open, stopped again, and glanced back at Wei Yue.

There are eight purple trees here, so when he was eight years old, did he go through those things? It's still so small, how did you survive?

Under the moonlight, that person is as handsome as a whole, but in fact, his heart is fragmented, right?

He never showed the pain in his heart, even in the face of Wentian, the murderer who killed his loved ones, his expression was indifferent and cold. If it weren't for seeing the hand holding the jade flute crack crack open and blood flowing out due to the force, she wouldn't know that he had feelings.

At that time, he should have hated, pained, and sad in his heart, so he didn't even know that the white silk had been thoroughly stained with blood.

When avenging so many deceased relatives, friends, and fellow families, even a tall and mighty man like Mr. Zu shed tears, and the experienced Mr. Yuwen had red eyes, but Yu Yue tried his best to hide all his grief, so that everyone could not notice it.

Her heart ached for him......

The person in front of him was indifferent to the enemy, but he was gentle to her, Mr. Yuwen, Mr. Zu, and even the little disciples he didn't know.

Is it the warmth that wraps the cold? Or is ruthlessness a disguise of affection?

She couldn't tell the difference, she couldn't see through.

He didn't talk about those painful pasts, and she didn't have a position to ask, and he didn't show those pains, and she didn't know where to comfort them. I can only feel sad for him silently, hoping that he can live a little better, and God can be a little better for him......

didn't say anything more, with bitterness and pity, Jiang Zhengxin entered the house and closed the door.

After the door was closed lightly, the courtyard was silent, only the moonlight was like washing, and the flowers were swaying.

The deep purple pupils looked at the purple trees that were blooming all over the courtyard, and the old voice sounded in his ears-

"When Ah Yue grows up, these purple trees will also grow, and the flowers will bloom, and our family can sit under the tree and drink tea and enjoy the flowers."

"If this yard can't be planted in the future, I will plant all the purple trees in Nanshan where Ah Yue is practicing, give Ah Yue shade, and he can sit down and rest when he is tired."

"This flower is purple, like the color of my brother's eyes, and it is very beautiful."

"The fragrance of the purple jacaranda flower can calm the nerves and help you sleep, and Xiaoyue will be able to sleep night and night in the future, and no longer have nightmares."

"The japonica blossoms are blooming, A-Niang picked some jawflower cakes made for Xiao Yue, and put frosting and honey in them, sweet, Xiao Yue likes it or not."

……

The sound is still in the ears, and the person has passed away.

The color of the water in the purple pupils reflected the tree a little hazy, and he forced his heartache and murmured, "Daddy...... A-Niang...... Brother ............"

……

In the early morning, the birds in the trees were chirping, and the faint sunlight and the fragrance of the jacara flowers invaded the window together, Jiang Zhengxin opened his eyes slightly, and he was a little sleepy and reluctant to get up.

There is no floating world here, it is plain and beautiful, and it is good if you can live a lifetime in the mountains. With this in mind, she closed her eyes and planned to go back to sleep.

But the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes again, and the gongs and drums in her heart were beating wildly. What time is it? Have you already slept? What about Yue? ……

Jiang Zhengxin suddenly sobered up and hurriedly ran to the window. After a few steps, countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

He shouldn't be waiting for her, right? Probably not, the sunrise hour has long passed, who would wait that long? Wouldn't it be too stupid to wait? I wish he had gone back, and I hope he wasn't outside......

But the moment she opened the window, she saw the figure in the courtyard, the man who stood under the purple tree and waited here alone for a long time, but could not bear to wake her up.

When she saw Jiang Zhengxin wake up, she smiled at her and said, "Morning." ”

Jiang Zhengxin: "......"

"Hungry, I'll take you to breakfast."

Jiang Zhengxin looked at Yue steadily, and his heart tightened. Don't you mention the broken contract at all? Without the slightest blame? Don't even have an expression of annoyance? Why do you smile at her?

The fine sunlight is like countless golden fragments, the light is dotted, and the smile of the moon is gentle, handsome, warmer than the sun, and clearer than the dew.

The person in front of her was so good, she wanted to get closer, and it was so unearthly that she didn't dare to step forward.

Jiang Zhengxin stood by the window and couldn't move, biting her lower lip tightly because of guilt, her eyebrows frowned into a shallow mark, and she said with guilt: "I'm sorry, I overslept and made you wait for a long time, and you have missed the sunrise." ”

In the early morning, the dew was heavy, and there was some undried moisture on her eyebrows and clothes, and a lot of purple jacaranda petals fell on the hem of her clothes dragging on the ground, and the dew on the petals shone crystal in the morning light.

He said to her, "The sunrise is every day, and if you want to see it any day, I will accompany you to see it." ”

didn't care about waiting for a long time, but was worried that Jiang Zhengxin would regret that he didn't see the sunrise, so he comforted her gently.

He is always gentle with her, like the first spring after the ice and snow melt, which is the beginning of all good things, which makes people throb and unforgettable.

A petal of purple jacaranda flowers fell gently from in front of Wei Yue, passed between his stretched eyebrows, deep purple eyes, straight nose bridge, smiling thin lips, and finally fell on Jiang Zhengxin's heart, so unintentionally touched the heartstrings......

This is not the first time that he has been touched by Wei Yue's heartstrings, and even Jiang Zhengxin himself doesn't know when the first time was, maybe it was in the chaotic cherry blossom rain, when he met him, maybe it was the moment when the ribbon slipped down on the purple pupils in the honey-scented flower field, or maybe it was the night when the jade flute was blown through under the white begonia tree with rich flowers.......

But this time, the person standing in the courtyard covered with purple jacaranda flowers made her feel the sensation of her heartstrings being plucked in a real and clear way......

……

The two of them were eating breakfast, and the earth-shaking voice of the ancestor came through several courtyard walls.

"Wentian is a birdmanβ€”"

It didn't take long for him to pull Yu Wenjin into the house in a hurry, with an angry face, and with some unresolved shame, he said to Yu Yue: "Palace Master, you don't know yet, we have many more female disciples in the Hanxian Palace. ”

Wei Yue was slightly stunned and asked, "Why are there female disciples?" ”

Since the establishment of the palace, the Hanxian Palace has only accepted male disciples, and there has never been an exception in the past hundred years. If it weren't for the palace rules changed during Wentian's reign, it would be impossible for a female disciple to go up the mountain. Yu Yue had already guessed this, but he had not met the female disciple in the mouth of the ancestor since he returned to the palace, so he asked because of an accident.

"I heard that it was the old man who asked the sky to become the palace master and said that the Nantong faction and the Burning Leaf faction all accept female disciples, and the Hanxian Palace also needs to be inclusive, so they started to accept female apprentices. It's okay now, I can't persuade you to leave, you can't drive away, but what can I do? ”

Hearing that there was still a girl on the mountain, Jiang Zhengxin became interested and asked, "But is it a young and beautiful female apprentice?" ”

The ancestor pouted, pointed at Xiao Tao and said, "It's not as good as this monkey." ”

Yuwen Jin coughed lightly and said a fair word: "It's not like what the ancestor said, they are all young girls, I also looked at the roster last night, and I learned that they were all practicing in Beifeng, so I went to see it with the ancestor this morning, but I didn't expect that as soon as I said two words, the ancestor scared people into tears." After speaking, he glanced at the ancestor again, and felt that he was really wrong to take the ancestor with him.

The ancestor didn't pay attention to Yu Wenjin's cold eyes, but just muttered: "So it's not appropriate for us to have female disciples in the Hanxian Palace, crying and chirping, it's too troublesome." ”

Yu Wenjin sighed and said: "Since they have entered the Hanxian Gate, we can't force people down the mountain, we always have to persuade each other with good words." ”

"It's nature." Yu Yue nodded in agreement, "The Hanxian Palace is practicing the Pure Yang Exercises, which is not suitable for women to cultivate, I can cultivate books with the Ice Pavilion Pavilion Master and help them worship under the Ice Pavilion Gate, there are all female disciples, not only is it convenient to practice, but the martial arts method is also more suitable for women." ”

When the ancestor heard this, he was overjoyed: "This is a good idea. ”

But after a while, he was worried again: "It's just who is going to persuade?" ”

Jiang Zhengxin smiled and said: "Naturally, it's Xiaoyue, he's the palace master." ”

Yu Wenjin shook his head: "I have followed the palace master for the longest time, and I know him best, he can't deal with those women." After speaking, he glanced at the ancestor, which meant - you go.

It's not because he's optimistic about the ancestor, but because he doesn't want to do it himself, so he threw it to the ancestor. What's more, it was the ancestor who made people cry, and he should plug this hole himself.

The ancestor hurriedly waved his hand, looking like he was facing a great enemy: "As soon as I left the family, I never talked to a woman, and I never even met the female benefactor, so I can't do this errand." ”

Yu Wenjin sneered: "Eating wine, drinking meat, and gossiping, which precept you haven't violated, but you have obeyed this one very well!" ”

The ancestor turned his eyes angrily and said, "Then Yuwen, you go." ”

"......" Yu Wenjin was choked there and speechless all of a sudden. After a while, his face stiffened, and he said with a slight embarrassment: "If I can deal with women, I won't be celibate until now." ”

The three big men were more unable to deal with women than the other, and they were anxious, as if they had suddenly thought of something, and looked at Jiang Zhengxin in unison.

Jiang Zhengxin understood their eyes, and a red bean packet was stuck in his mouth, and he couldn't bite it down. Although she can deal with women, she doesn't have the courage to persuade dozens of female disciples who practice martial arts and swords, if she provokes any of them, her life will be over-

She put down the red bean packet and refused in a panic: "I'm too, I'm ...... too"

Before she could finish "also", the ancestor pounced and wailed: "You are a girl's family, and you understand women's minds better than us, so I can only ask you for help." If you don't go, you have to go to the palace master himself, and if you let them see the palace master, they won't leave......"

The ancestor's words didn't know how to poke Jiang Zhengxin's tendon, she immediately put down the bun and said bravely: "Okay, I'll go!" ”
