Chapter 61 The beggar coincidentally fell into the thorn hairpin
Chai's house was raided, the box was opened, and the family assets copied were about 20,000 rolls of silk, yarn, feather satin, yellow satin, and reckless satin; six boxes of pearls, jadeite, and red gold; light gold, tide silver nine thousand taels; house deed, bond, land deed, Zhuangzi two box cages; The rest of the treasures such as the Buddha of the Flail Nan Shou Buddha, gold and jade utensils, cloud fox tubes, yellow and white fox skins, black fox skins, etc., are countless......
Chai's compartment was turned upside down, and the city gate was on fire, which affected Zhao's compartment, and people were panicked. Although Zhao Wanmo doesn't care much about the wealth and honor of the world, he cares about his marriage with Zhixi, at the beginning, Mrs. Zhao promised to marry Zhixi, the only condition is that the Chai family is knighted, so that her two granddaughters can also enjoy the glory. The so-called 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven', and her sister-in-law Zhao family can also be stained with the glory of the Chai family.
Now, how does it end?
Zhao Wanmo strode into the Wu Mansion, and without waiting for the report, he directly broke into the Guan Ju Hall where the bone was wrong, and just entered the courtyard door, but saw the bone wrong and Jing Zhixi both kneeling in the middle of the main courtyard, holding their hands high, and one of them holding a volume of "The Book of Filial Piety" in their hands. Fang was still in a hurry, but when he saw this scene, he didn't know where the fire should start.
"You're here." Gucuo's face was calm, as if he had expected him to come.
Zhao Wanmo felt sorry for Zhixi, and stepped forward to pull her up, Zhixi couldn't stand it stubbornly, but said: "You are the son of the prince, just when we kneel to welcome you, you can also afford it." ”
At this time, the maid of the Wu Mansion had already reported to Wu's mother in the main house, and Wu's mother knew that a distinguished guest had visited, so she ordered to be exempted from the family punishment for bone mistakes. The maid hurriedly came to Guan Ju Hall to give an order: "Madam said, the young master can be at ease." ”
Wu Gucuo stood up as if he had been pardoned, and then stretched out a hand to pull Zhixi. Zhixi didn't take his hand, she stood up by herself, but her legs were numb for a long time, and she didn't stand firm for a while, but she still supported her by her bones.
Zhao Wanmo looked at their sharing of weal and woe, and couldn't help but feel sad, and asked Gu Cuo coldly: "You obviously know that the title of the Chai family was obtained from the emperor by my father and I with great effort, and how many days have it been, and you have dismantled my platform?!" ”
"How did you decide that I did it?" Seeing that he was aggressive, he tried to reason with him and appease his anger.
"Didn't you tell me privately some time ago that you promised the emperor to cut another wing of King Rong for him? Who doesn't know that the Chai family was raised by his father. Then you will go to him. Zhao Wanmo replied to him stiffly, remembering that he had informed him in advance, but now he felt less reasonable.
"If I really hurt you, why should I tell you in advance? The emperor is afraid that King Rong will spread spies everywhere and form a private party, not two days a day, your brother's wedding, why did you make your family and the Jia family become mortal enemies, you still haven't learned a lesson. I'll tell you in advance, I'm investigating, and if I want to cut King Rong's wings, King Rong's Mansion should at least know how to restrain a little. "Bone mistake 1510 said.
"If you really want to help me, why do you have to find the Chai family, you know that the old lady of the Zhao family wants me to take the Chai family's knighthood as a gift, so she is willing to give Zhixi to me. I am now married for six ceremonies, and after the five ceremonies, 'Nacai, Ming, Najib, Nazheng', which one of the old lady Zhao is not difficult for me in every way, it is easy to stay up until the 'invitation date' is also set, so I have to wait until the first day of September to greet in person. What should I do now? ”
"The first day of September is a good day for Zhixi. If you don't believe me, I'll do it for you, you should always know that I will never find bad luck for Zhixi. Gu Cuo said gloomily.
"You just don't want to see her marry me." Zhao Wanmo was angry and shouted loudly.
"Yes! I'll admit, I just don't want to! Wu Gucuo's eyes showed endless pain, "However, I won't harm you behind your back!" You only saw that the Chai family was copied out of countless silk jewels, rich and rival the country, but you don't know, what I found out, he has five thousand private armor and two carts of weapons, if these are handed over to the emperor, not only his Chai family, but also your Rongwangfu and Yuewen Zhao family, who are closely related to him, will be burdened with the great crime of rebellion against the nine clans! ”
"So, where are those now?" Jing Zhixi heard that she had covered up these sins for King Rong and the Zhao family, and asked gratefully and worriedly: "In this way, you are also implicated." ”
"It's okay, I put it in a safe place, and no mortal can find out." Wu Gucuo never worried about his own safety, as long as she was safe, he was relieved: "It's just you, you still need to go back and remind your father that the private weapons you have deployed in the five provinces of Nanjun have been collected earlier, and the emperor has not touched him when he thinks of the love of flesh and blood, and if you get an inch, I can't cover it up for you." That Chai was copied, but he was about to hit the muzzle, and was grabbed by the Jia family in his hand, I saw clearly that Jia Rudao wanted to denounce the emperor, so he said a word earlier, and it was also regarded as fulfilling the promise of 'cutting the wings of the king of Rong for the emperor'. ”
"Where are you hiding?" Zhao Wanmo came to his side and asked in a low voice, the anger can no longer flap in, and the rest is grateful.
"There is always a place in the world where you can live, you can hide, you can stand out from the crowd, or you can disappear." Bone Mistake didn't tell him where it was, he knew more, but he was dangerous to those who knew. Gu Cuo wants to protect the people around him, even if he himself is just an ordinary person, this heart is unswerving.
The next day, it was the Qixi Festival. There is a market in the capital that specializes in begging goods, which is called the begging market in the world, and it is especially lively at night. Chen Zigui wanted to take Dian'er to visit the lamp market, but Dian'er was threading needles and begging, sewing sachets for bone mistakes. Gu Wrong couldn't bear to lose Zigui, took the needle and thread in Dian Er's hand and said: "The ready-made person is in front of you, what else are you begging", Dian Er guarded it hard, pricked her fingers, Chen Zigui hurriedly held her fingers in her hands, put them to her mouth to help her suck out the dirty blood, and the care was beyond words.
Dian Er couldn't help but insist again and again, and followed Chen Zigui to Qiqiao City, but seeing that the city was full of lights, traffic, and people, and the cars and horses were curbing, the two respected each other like guests, politely and awkwardly walked through the lively crowd, each with their own thoughts.
Gu Wrong sat alone in the courtyard of Guan Ju, and tied up a lamp. But I saw that the lamp was made of fine wood as the skeleton, inlaid with silk yarn, and the wick was made of hemp straw after the hemp was peeled into a bundle, which was no different from the lamp made by Qinghuli and Sui Zhi in the green sac. When the lamp is lit, a little shadow of the tree is reflected on the case.
He remembered many past events, and his eyes were full of Zhixi's shadow, but when he saw that the lamp was also reflected, Zhixi's shadow was also reflected, fluttering and swaying, fairy-like, he couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, and laughed bitterly at himself: "I look at you, it's wishful thinking that you've been unrequited for a long time, and you can even see her on the lantern." ”
"Everyone takes advantage of this festival to meet a beautiful woman, what are you talking to yourself here?" But it's really Zhixi's voice.
Gu Cuo raised his head, his eyes showing surprise and flattery: "It's really you." You always say that you are afraid of rumors behind your back, and I dare not go to you on such a day. ”
"Madame is happy today, the little girl has been let out to play, leaving a personal care, she wants to pass on your word now, so she sent me." Zhixi said.
"So that's the case," the surprise in Gu Cuo's eyes dimmed again, he always thought that Zhixi had affection for him, and he was destined to be disappointed, so he followed Zhixi out, and handed the finished lamp to her: "I know you can't remember, but this is the same as the one I made for you in the green bag, you keep it, take a light." ”
"Hey, there's a lantern riddle here," Zhixi pulled out a note from the lantern and wrote: Seal of Rulerless Earth.
She frowned, unable to guess what it was. Ask the bone wrong, and the bone wrong only answers: my heart. Didn't explain anything. Zhixi didn't ask anymore, and literally thought he was sighing.
Go to the palace of Wu Niangzi (that is, today's Mrs. Wu), and pass through the Weixi Hall where Zhixi lives. Zhao Wanmo was sitting on the stone steps outside the hall that were wet with night dew, waiting for Jing Zhixi. When I looked up, I saw Gu Cuo and Jing Zhixi, shoulder to shoulder, carrying lanterns, moving step by step, and walking with deep affection. The silk bamboo lantern she carried on her wrist was half green and half red, and his eyes were hazy.
"Visit... Childe" Jing Zhixi didn't know why, but consciously added an honorific title after his name: "When did you come and what did you do?" ”
"I want to spend Qixi with you," Zhao Wanmo's eyes were shrouded in fog, and he felt inexplicably alienated from Jing Zhixi's words, "Now it seems that I am redundant." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
The footsteps of Yu Mo, staggering, and passing by the back, extremely lonely, actually made Wu Gu mistakenly feel that it was not like the lively and cheerful Muluo he once knew, but like the prince of the palace himself, who was once in trouble in the sea, indifferent and cold. The wood that is attached to the human body and covers the human soul is finally the same as the white Zhixi in Jing Zhixi's body, and he has grown up and is no longer a teenager who does not know the taste of sorrow.
Every bit of growth is destined to be accompanied by pain.
When Wan Mo walked past Zhixi, he rubbed his shoulders, and the thornwood hairpin that he was carrying everywhere at any time fell to the ground. It was the surprise he wanted to give Zhixi, but now it has become the heartbreaking words of Yu Mo floating in the air: people say that on the occasion of Qixi Festival, if a girl accepts a boy's love object, they will be with each other for the rest of their lives.
Zhixi bent down, picked up the wooden hairpin, and was about to ask Yu Mo to return it to him, but found that the wooden hairpin seemed familiar. It was the one that was hung by the phoenix branch when she picked up the fallen flowers in Zhonghuang Mountain, but the wood hairpin was carved with a phoenix wood flower at some point, the leaves are like the feathers of the flying phoenix, and the flowers are like the crown of the phoenix.
Visiting Mo hesitated and moved his steps, and the past was reminded again by the Danfeng carved wooden hairpin left behind him: that year, Zhixi was just in human form, she walked on the bluestone road, picking up the phoenix flowers that were knocked down by Dian'er one by one, and blowing them back to the branches one by one.
In Yu Mo's eyes, a tear was drawn, sad and desperate: "Zhixi, you never know what kind of existence your inadvertent kindness was in the eyes of Mu Luo, who was about to cultivate into a human form: your hand, when blowing the falling flowers back to the phoenix branch, your fingertips were gently brushing my hair, my forehead, my cheeks, and my shoulders. Since then, you have captured all my heart, I can't resist your face, I can't forget your tenderness, you teach me, how to fall in love with other women in this world? ”
"For your sake, I can treat you as a blind, deaf, and fool who has not seen anything and has never known anything, as long as you are by my side in the end." The pain in Yu Mo's heart was intensifying, shrinking, and tormenting his internal organs: "Everyone thinks that we are shallow and weak, and every gossip is that you and him are young and sweet, and they are in pairs, I am just deceiving myself, grandstanding, and forcibly marrying, but only I understand how serious I am about your heart." Others say that you are a good match, but I am thinking bitterly about you picking up flowers for my stone path, as well as the words of the matchmaker I set up for you, your face under the bluestone slab is engraved in my heart, and it is more vivid than the knife marks on this hairpin. It's just that your heart is only with him, this unforgettable pain, how can I relieve myself in the future? ”
