Chapter 80: Temptation
Gu Xiaonuan and Su Lan had previously agreed that they would be disfigured and driven out of Shangshu Mansion to test Kong Jia.
So Gu Xiaonuan put on disfiguring makeup for Su Lan and changed her into dirty clothes.
After Gu Xiaonuan's transformation, Su Lan has completely changed as a person, even if he appears in front of Kong Jia at this moment, he may not be able to recognize it.
After putting on Su Lan's makeup and changing her clothes, Gu Xiaonuan led her to Kong Jia.
Kong Jia lived in a place in the suburbs, in the middle of nowhere, and Su Lan and Gu Xiaonuan walked for a long time to find it.
Although the night was late, he didn't seem to be asleep, still reading in his room, and his shadow was projected on the window.
Su Lan walked outside the courtyard where Kong Jia lived, slightly excited, and looked back at Gu Xiaonuan who was standing outside the courtyard.
Gu Xiaonuan looked at her and smiled slightly, motioning for her to go, she gritted her teeth again and knocked on Kong Jia's door.
After knocking on the door for a few moments, someone came to open the door. Gu Xiaonuan and Chen Zichen stood outside, looking at a young man in coarse linen clothes who came to open the door, and he was also polite and polite, although he was a poor scholar, he was also neat.
Looking at Su Lan who appeared at the door, he was stunned at first, and then immediately recognized that the person in front of him was Su Lan from Shangshu Mansion.
"Su Lan, ...... you?"
Kong Jia looked Su Lan up and down, and said with an incredulous gaze, "Su Lan, your face?" What happened......? ”
Gu Xiaonuan had arranged it before, and she wanted to pretend to be very pitiful, so as soon as Kong Jia asked at this moment, she cried, wiped her tears and said, "Father doesn't want me anymore, kick me out of the house, I, I really have nowhere to go, so I came to you." ”
Seeing Su Lan wipe away her tears, Kong Jia showed a look of distress and said, "Come in, let's go into the house and talk about something." ”
Watching Kong Jia pull Su Lan into the house, Chen Zichen and Gu Xiaonuan cautiously approached the courtyard and quietly walked under the window, and the two of them squatted under the window and began to listen to the content of the chat inside.
"Su Lan, what the hell happened, how did it come to this?"
"It was I who accidentally spilled the hot water, and the hot water splashed on my face, and it burned like this, and my father saw that I was like this now, so he also kicked me out of the door and didn't want me anymore." Su Lan cried.
When Kong Jia heard this, he said indignantly, "How can Lord Shangshu be like this, no matter what, you are his daughter, how can he drive you out of the mansion because of this." ”
Su Lan cried even more sadly, "Maybe my appearance is ugly, and my father is also upset when he looks at it, so he kicked me out." ”
Kong Jia said indignantly, "But, as a father, shouldn't he feel sorry for you at this time, how could he be so ruthless and drive you out." ”
Su Lan choked up crying and said, "The way I am now, I don't like it myself, and I don't complain about my father, I hate myself for being like this." ”
Seeing this, Kong Jia squatted in front of Su Lan and comforted her, "Su Lan, don't say that. The beauty of birds is in the feathers, the beauty of people is in the soul, and things like skins are irrelevant, and the beauty of a person's soul is the true beauty. Moreover, I don't think you are not good-looking now, in my Kong Jia's heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, no matter before, now, or in the future, you are. ”
Looking at Kong Jia, Su Lan choked up and said, "Brother Jia, but Su Lan is like this now, this face is not visible at all, Su Lan really doesn't know what it means to live like this." ”
Kong Jia looked at Su Lan and sighed, carefully wiping Su Lan's tears, for fear of hurting her wounds, and said while wiping her tears, "Su Lan, in my heart, no matter what you become, I like it, so in the future, you are not allowed to say such things again." ”
Su Lan couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this, this time she was really crying, not crying for play, she looked at Kong Jiadao, "But, now, I have been kicked out of the house by my father, and I have nowhere to go, what should I do in the future?" I don't have a home anymore. ”
Kong Jia gently took Su Lan's hand, looked at her, his eyes were full of distress, and said softly, "From now on, it will be your home." ”
Su Lan looked at Kong Jia in a daze, full of tears, Kong Jia looked at her and smiled slightly, "Since Lord Shangshu kicked you out of the house and didn't want you, then I, Kong Jia, want you, in the future, you will stay here, and I will take care of you." Lowering his head, Kong Jia smiled bitterly, sighed and said, "Although my Kong Jia's family is a little poor, I will work hard to give you the best life and will not let you suffer." ”
Su Lan was very moved in her heart, but she hadn't finished what Gu Xiaonuan had explained, so this scene had to be performed.
Thinking of this, she suddenly pushed Kong Jia's hand away, stood up and said, "No, I can't affect you, you have a great future now, I can't delay you." ”
Seeing Su Lan like this, Kong Jia turned to the front of her, took her hand again and said, "What a burden, what a great future, Su Lan, what are you talking about?" ”
Su Lan looked at Kong Jia, tears fell again, and she cried, "Isn't it, you are very knowledgeable, and you will definitely be famous in the future, and you will definitely meet a better girl when the time comes." I'm like this, and staying here will only drag you down. You also deserve better. ”
Listening to Su Lan's words, Kong Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Su Lan, in your heart, am I such a person?" ”
Su Lan didn't speak, but just glanced at Kong Jia with tears in her eyes, and saw a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.
Sighing deeply, Kong Jia said with a wry smile, "That's right, when I first saw you, I was indeed attracted by your appearance, but I really liked you because of your character, character, and kindness. I know that you are disfigured now, and I am worried, worried that I will dislike you because you have disfigured your disfigurement. It is not excluded that there are such people in the world, but I, Kong Jia, am not. I, Kong Jia, like someone, no matter what she becomes, I will never dislike her, nor will I abandon her. ”
Gu Xiaonuan, who was hiding under the window, heard this and muttered in a low voice, "This is quite true, indeed, it starts with appearance and is loyal to character." ”
Chen Zichen looked at her and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult for you to look like this." ”
Gu Xiaonuan glanced at him, if it weren't for this time, she really wanted to roll up her sleeves and beat him.
Su Lan's eyes were full of tears, looking at Kong Jia, she couldn't say a word, she was really happy in her heart at this moment.
Kong Jia looked at her and smiled slightly, pulled her to sit aside, looked at her and said with a smile, "You know, Su Lan, I used to think about what it would be like for the two of us to live our lives. I was thinking at the time, when we are all seventy or eighty, you become a little old lady, and I become an old man, that picture must be beautiful. Children and grandchildren around the knee, your old teeth are all gone, you can't eat, you don't have a tooth when you laugh, even then, I thought, you are the most beautiful. However, later Lord Shangshu disagreed, saying that you are the candidate for the future queen, and I can't give you anything, and being with you will only delay you. Although I want to try to give you a good life, but the position of queen is so far away that I can't give it in my life. ”
"So you gave up?" Su Lan looked at Kong Jiadao with red eyes.
