Chapter 78: Reminiscences

Several carriages carried the people out of the heavenly city.

Shangjing is accustomed to seeing the lights of thousands of homes in the city, the joys and sorrows of millions of crazy men and women, and the joys and sorrows of several girls are just like small droplets dripping into the sea, and they can't even afford half a splash.

Watching the high city walls get farther and farther away from sight, smaller and smaller, and finally disappear, Tan Yin couldn't tell the indescribable taste in her heart, all the joys and sorrows, the love and hatred were left in the great city behind her.

In just a few months, how many people have been met and how many things have happened!

Don't be happy with things or be sad with yourself, my father has always taught myself, but I really can't do it!

The carriage swayed and bumped all the way, Mrs. Tan looked at her daughter's calm face, she was so strong that it made people feel distressed, but this pain could only be fought by herself.

During the day, the car dealership was stationed in the store at night, and several girls cherished the last time they got together, and they couldn't wait to be together day and night.

After half a month of traveling to Jinyang, everyone looked for an inn to rest, and Du Yan also wanted to say goodbye to everyone here.

Du Yan is about to part with everyone, when she was in Hangzhou, she was still an official lady who was envied by everyone, and even though the Yanya Yanmin sisters knew her, they did not have a deep relationship. The Gao family is so kind to her, and she sees her true feelings in times of trouble, but now she is reluctant to give up with several girls, and it is difficult to give up.

Going out is not as good as being at home, with a few people in a room, the conditions are naturally not good.

On this day, after dinner, the journey was tiring, and everyone went back to their rooms early to rest.

After being in the room for a long time, thinking that her stomach couldn't digest it, Tan Yin went to the small garden behind the inn to take a walk to eat, and saw Yan Ya and Du Yan talking about something from a distance.

When the two saw Tan Yin coming, they stopped talking.

Several people said that Du Yan was about to walk with his master and wife, who made a living by teaching calligraphy and painting, and was going to teach a big family in Meizhou, Guangdong Province. She was born rich and pampered, but now she is about to drift in the rivers and lakes.

Du Yan comforted everyone: "Don't worry about me. Originally, I thought that I would die of old age in Yuehua Building, or be ransomed by a wealthy son to be a concubine. Compared with the kind of days that ushered in the send-off and forced smiles, now the sea is wide and the sky is free for birds to fly, this kind of free day, I don't even dare to dream of it. ”

Tan Yin looked at her and said, "I'm just afraid that you have a long way to go and work hard." ”

Du Yan smiled, "Compared to my father and brother who were exiled for 3,000 miles, my mother died tragically, and my sisters don't know their whereabouts, I am lucky enough to have you to rescue me." What are these wanderings, they are closer to my father's and brother's penal colony, so I can find a way to find them. “

"Don't worry! I'll be fine, but I can't live up to the amount of effort you've put into it. ”

The two of them saw that she thought about it so much, and they were also relieved.

Seeing that the time was not early, Du Yan said goodbye and was about to go back to the room, Yanya looked at her back and said to her: "Du Yan, no matter when and where, remember to write to us if you encounter any difficulties." ”

Du Yan paused, didn't look back, said a soft "um", and continued walking.

……

Tan Yin looked at her distant figure, and when she reached this situation, she still didn't change the pride in her bones, and she didn't want to cause trouble to the Gao family anymore, no wonder her grandmother never forgot this granddaughter before she died.

Yanya looked at Tan Yin and said: "Du Yan has always been proud, she used to feel that she was superior, but now that I think about it, people's personalities are like this." ”

Although Yanya still looked haggard, her spirit was much better.

Tan Yin asked, "Don't you have any resentment towards her at all?" Just now, I also asked her to remember to look for you if she has difficulties in the future. ”

Tan Yin always felt a little pimple about Du Yan's pursuit of Xu Linhai back then, no matter what, Xu Linhai and Yanya did not dissolve the marriage contract back then.

Yanya smiled: "She came over just now to apologize to me for what happened back then." She also said that Xu Linhai had no real relationship with her, which reassured me, but in fact, I never took it to heart. ”

didn't expect Yan Ya to take the initiative to mention the events of that year, and during this period of time, Tan Yin and Yan Min kept silent about anything about Xu Linhai.

"Do you remember last year, when we met with the Du family to go to Changchun Garden to see Baozhu camellia?"

Tan Yin nodded, that was the first time she saw Du Yan, when she was unhappy because she was rejected by Xu Linhai, and Yan Ya had already withdrawn from the marriage.

Yanya thought of the red and bright camellia, the bright spring, and the smiling girls, but she felt like she was in an ice cellar.

"In fact, a year ago, since Xu Linhai came back from a study trip, there have been rumors in Hangzhou that he is dissatisfied with me, which is why so many people are ready to move, and Du Yan is just one of them."

"My family hid it from me, and I pretended not to know, because I always thought that although there were ups and downs, my marriage contract with him was concluded by my elders and would not change."

"But at the beginning of last year, that is, about a month before you came, there were rumors that the Xu Gao family was going to terminate the contract, and there were rumors of Du Yan and him at that time, and later there were Yunxian."

"To say that I didn't have any resentment against Du Yan and Yunxian at that time is duplicitous, if it makes sense to say that he refused in the name of studying or has not yet been promoted, when he rejected the Gao family's express or implicit expressions three times twice, and later dissolved the marriage contract, I understand."

"My experience has little to do with these women. There is no Du Yan and Zhang Yan, there is no Yunxian and Yuxian, there is no Niang and Mei Niang. ”

Yanya talked about the past lightly, and even the trace of sadness was very light, and you couldn't tell it if you didn't listen carefully.

For more than a year, this is the first time that Yanya has taken the initiative to bring up her past with Xu Linhai. Tan Yin and Yan Min were afraid of revealing their scars, so they never took the initiative to ask her, and their minds had been around the complete dissolution of the marriage contract, thinking about not getting along with Xu Linhai in old age, but they didn't expect to return to the original point in the end.

Tan Yin stepped forward to hold her hand and comforted: "Aya, it's all over, let's look forward, no matter what, Xu Linhai is still responsible, and he is not an unintentional person." ”

Since the matter is irreparable, it can only move forward, and at this moment, adding oil and vinegar or sprinkling salt on the wound is just to add insult to injury.

Yan Ya pulled the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "I know that you and Yan Min have always wanted to ask me why I agreed that day. ”

Thinking of that day, Yanya still remembers it vividly.

……

The sun shone in through the door, forming a triangle at the door. The inside of the triangle is sunny and warm, but the surroundings are dark and cold.

Lilac was afraid that she would catch a cold again, so she put on a thick coat and socks, and closed the windows, leaving only the door open, and the wind could not blow in.

I took some books and put them on the square table next to the bed, there was her favorite Mrs. Xu flower arrangement, the latest book, made fragrant jasmine tea, and specially prepared Su Fangzhai's Xue'e Niang, fragrant nut, pine nuts, melon seeds and plum and other dried nuts and nuts.

The cloves are careful, peel half of the pine nuts and melon seeds, and leave half for her to peel by herself.

Yanya leaned back on the bed in a daze, and she didn't know how long the time had passed, whether it was a moment or a day, as if time was flowing forward, but she was fixed in the same place.

It is like a traveler in the desert, stuck in the sand and unable to move, but the quicksand around him is rattling and flowing to the oasis in the distance.

Yanya looked at the triangle, the dust rolling in the sunlight.

"Girl, your fever has just subsided, you need to eat more, this snack was bought by the two girls early in the morning. Originally, a few of our girls were going to go, but the girl didn't let them, knowing that you don't like sweet, so they made salty ones. ”

Lilac picked up a piece of Xue Mei Niang and gave it to her. The jade bracelet on her wrist was a big circle, and her hands swayed when she wore it.

She picked it up and tasted it, it didn't seem to have any taste, but I heard that Tan Yin and Yanmin got up early in the morning to buy it, and they still finished eating one.

Suddenly, something blocked the sun, and I saw Yan Ting and Xu Linhai coming in.

Yan Ya was half lying on the bed, and when she saw the two of them coming, she obviously shrank back, and then struggled to get up, Yan Ting hurriedly held her down.

Yan Ting walked to the window, "Aya, Xu Linhai wants to talk to you!" ”

Yan Ya thought for a moment, then nodded, and Yan Ting and Lilac withdrew.

Her face was smaller, and her eyes were larger, but they were dull. The complexion was snow-white and sickly, not as ruddy as the last time. Skillfully flipped, can not only insert a branch of spring and autumn, but also embroider the weather, but now it is full of green muscles.

The jade bracelet on his wrist was bigger, as if it was going to slide off at any moment. The whole body is thin, but there is a kind of sick beauty, which makes people feel pity.

She is like a little squirrel, she is awakened when she hears the voice of outsiders, and she wants to run away immediately, and like a little hedgehog, she shrinks into a ball when she sees someone coming, ignoring everything in the outside world.

Xu Linhai sat in front of her bed and saw that the snacks and food on the square table were basically untouched.

Yan Ya brushed the messy hair around her ears, straightened her hair and clothes, and said softly: "I am slacking, please forgive me." ”

At such a moment, seeing that she was still calm, Xu Linhai sighed for her future. Fortunately, although the spirit is not good, people are not confused, and today's things are promising.

Xu Linhai picked up a scroll he brought, and said while unfolding it: "Mrs. Xu's floral arrangement for the birthday of the concubine is amazing, and there is also your hard work, you can't see the last grand occasion when you are sick, I will draw it for you to see." ”

A long scroll of four or five meters slowly unfolds, the flowers around the banquet are in full bloom, more than ten kinds of theme floral art are spread out around the birthday banquet in turn, the splendid mountains and rivers are unobstructed, the desert flying sand, the snow in the north, the Yunxiu in the south of the Yangtze River, and the fishing sea in the south can be described as the famous flowers pouring into the country.

Yanya stared at it for a long, long time, and said for a while: "You bothered." ”

Xu Linhai put away the scroll, put it aside, and said: "This picture is for you, if you are bored, you can open it and take a look, and when you are ready, you can arrange flowers with your own hands, Mrs. Xu also asked me to give a message, saying that I really want you to arrange flowers with her again." ”

Yan Ya nodded when she heard this.

Xu Linhai looked at her and said, "I heard that you are sick, I came here today to see you, and more importantly, to set the marriage of the two of us, I think autumn is a good day." ”

Yanya looked at him in disbelief when she heard this.

"Yanya, I don't want to defend the past. Now I know what you are thinking in your heart, you are worried that it will drag down your family, that your grandmother and the elders will be sad, that you will delay the affairs of Yanting, that you will delay Yanmin's marriage, and that it will affect the future future of the juniors. ”

Yanya bowed her head and said nothing, but the water stains on the quilt were magnified drop by drop, and she was dizzy in a circle.

As soon as Xu Linhai grabbed her hand, Yanya was taken aback, and hurriedly broke free but couldn't break free.

"In that case, why don't you give me a chance, you look at me and believe me this time." Xu Linhai pulled her face.

Yan Ya looked at the handsome face in front of her, his eager eyes were eagerly waiting for her answer, and the ghost nodded in a ghostly manner.

Xu Linhai laughed out loud, it seemed that the high school champion was not so happy.

He couldn't help but lean forward and bow his head to kiss her, Yanya was shocked, he couldn't imagine that this person was so bold, so he hurriedly avoided it, and he still kissed him on the cheek in the dodge, so he simply buried his head in the whole quilt.

As soon as the disciple kissed Fang Ze, once he succeeded, seeing her like this, he laughed and went out.

……

Yanya remembered the events of that day and said with a smile: "I really can't drag down the family anymore, and I can't let you worry about it anymore." Besides, how can I talk about marriage like this, can I marry someone casually, so that my grandmother and they are always worried about me. ”

Tan Yin saw that Yanya exuded that kind of helplessness after accepting her fate, and her heart felt as if she was caught by something, "Then we won't marry!" ”

"Not married? Can't you stay at home for the rest of your life? The eldest brother is going to marry his sister-in-law next year, Yanmin is also going to get married, and the younger brothers and sisters below are going to get married, do they have to be pointed at by others. ”

Yanya looked up at the sky and said firmly: "I want to try, he has been like this three times and twice, maybe he has a little sincerity!" You and Amin don't blame yourself anymore, or I won't be at ease. ”

Tan Yin thought about the twists and turns of the past year or so, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, this may be the best arrangement.
