XXXIV (5)
When I went out, it was raining lightly outside, intertwined with the morning mist, and it was as soft as cotton. As if it was a kettle for watering flowers, spraying on his body, Su Huiyi blew the wind at first glance, but felt much better, the attendant officer had already opened the car door, he couldn't help but glance upstairs before getting into the car, and saw that the window was open, and the tulle curtains were swinging, making it seem more and more empty of this huge building.
He sighed inaudibly, and then got into the car, he was originally very busy because of the war, and now the burden of the south was deeply smashed on his body, and he was about to lose his breath. Thinking about it carefully, there are still a lot of things to deal with, but at this moment, it seems that there is no thought at all, the car has slowly started, the rain has turned heavier, crackling and smashing in front of the window, and it is a mist in the eyes.
He closed his eyes, and her cold and sad eyes appeared in front of him, and the questioning was more like a knife cutting into the heart, and each blow was a dull pain. Even at this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself, why did the two of them come to this point? He thought he was strong enough to keep her by his side and protect her so that she could live happily for the rest of her life.
But when he saw her bruised appearance, he felt that the fortress he had been piling up for so long had collapsed in an instant, and he did nothing, and even hurt her severely.
He can't forgive himself!
At this time, his mind was turning back and forth, and he suddenly asked, "Is there still no news of Shen Zhongzhen?" ”
Lin Ning, who was sitting in the co-pilot, heard the impatience in his tone, so he replied: "Now it's all the people of the second son over there, and we haven't heard any news yet." ”
Su Huiyi rubbed the corners of his forehead and wanted to take out a cigarette, but listening to the sound of the rain, he didn't have any thoughts. Silently looking out the window, the rain is intertwined, like a dense net entangled, which makes people feel dazed when they look at it.
The car drove all the way back to the Overseer's Palace, and because of the happy event at home, red silk and red lanterns were specially set up in front of the door, but under the gray rain curtain, it couldn't help but be a little old. Until the courtyard of the main house, I saw the smoke and rain enveloping the simple and elegant courtyard, the eaves were hung with satin iron buckles and red lanterns, and the gold embroidered phoenix was painted on the top, and the crimson floated in the wind and rain.
The messenger had already opened the door, and he walked down and went directly to the side room, "Give me a change of clothes." The attendants who followed him naturally knew his temper, and no one dared to persuade him at this juncture, so he answered and went to prepare.
The side room used to be where Shen Qiang Rose lived, and everywhere seemed to be mixed with her breath and figure, and even the incense burning in the hall was the same smell as always. He first went to the bathroom to wash his face, but when he came out, he saw Gu Shiyi sitting on the sofa, but in such a morning, she was already dressed properly, and even her hair was combed without leaking.
Su Huiyi didn't speak, she turned around and went to the bedroom, but was suddenly stopped by Gu Shiyi, her voice was a little hoarse, "After changing clothes, come with me to see my father." ”
As if he hadn't heard, he quickly entered the bedroom, and the attendant had already placed his clothes at the head of the bed, so he unbuttoned it, but she suddenly pushed the door and walked in, frowning instinctively, "Anything else?" ”
Gu Shiyi's gaze swept around him generously, "Can't you come in if you're okay?" I have never seen a husband in a family who has a wife like this. ”
He knew that she was deliberately provocative, so he said lightly: "Haven't you seen it now?" You and I are just a formal marriage, and you will need to adapt a lot in the future. ”
When he said such words, it could be seen how much of an insult it was to Gu Shiyi, and she almost sneered, "Qi Shao is really a half-sympathetic person, and with a person like you, I really can't respect each other, but since I have become your rightful wife, some words still have to be explained." ”
Su Huiyi was naturally reluctant to change clothes in front of her, and when she heard this, she frowned, "Get out!" ”
Gu Shiyi's face turned red almost instantly, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to point at him, "Su Huiyi, you deceive people too much!" ”
Su Huiyi simply turned around and said impatiently: "Get out immediately!" ”
There was a sound of slamming the door behind him, he couldn't help rubbing the corners of his forehead, he only felt that he was upset to the extreme, changed his clothes and went out, and saw Gu Shiyi still waiting at the door, she was an arrogant young lady, even if her cultivation was good, it didn't mean that she could endure such an insult, her face was still red, but it seemed that she was not angry.
Su Huiyi walked over and sat on the sofa, straightened his cuffs for a long time, and said lightly: "I know that if you don't say something, you won't be happy, since you have opened your mouth, let's finish it." ”
Although Gu Shiyi was angry in his heart, he still walked over when he heard the words, sat opposite him, raised his eyes and saw that he took a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and quickly cut away the foreign fire, and the cluster of firelight reflected in his eyes, which was so cold that it was not to be forced to look at. She had learned Western etiquette before, and knew that a gentleman would always take into account her feelings when facing a woman he liked, and things like smoking should always be avoided.
And now, Su Huiyi was sitting opposite her and smoking, as if she hadn't considered her feelings at all, although she was not averse to cigarettes, she was still angry that he didn't take herself seriously. is even more subconsciously not to treat her as a woman, she has always been proud, how can she stand such anger.
But I tried my best to endure it, but I still said calmly: "I know that Qishao doesn't want to see me, originally this kind of marriage is just an accessory for you men, whether it is a marriage or for the same interests, I can accept it." ”
She paused, "But I have come thousands of miles to marry, and it is too unfair to be a victim of your interests, I have no relatives or friends here." I don't expect you to treat me as much as you want, but I want you to give me the dignity you deserve. ”
She was originally very high-spirited, and she was unwilling to say these words, even if she lowered herself, nor would she put herself in a very humble situation, so she eased up and said: "It was our fathers who decided to marry at the beginning, although I don't agree with such a bound marriage, but I also understand that because it is such a marriage, there are interests firmly entangled, and there will not be much dislike between them." It's okay if you're tired of me, or if you don't want to live with me, it doesn't matter. ”
Su Huiyi glanced at her silently, and then continued to smoke the cigarette in his hand, as if he didn't want to answer her. She is also a fierce person, and there is a lot of freedom at this moment, since they are already so unperfect, why should they contain each other? Let him be.
She thought silently before getting up, "Let's go, your father is still waiting there." ”
Su Huiyi threw the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it with his military boots, and raised his eyes to see that there was no wave in her eyes, so he said: "Miss Gu, although we are married, I don't have the heart to grow old with you, this marriage is just a transaction for me, I know that it is very unfair to you to say this, but I can promise you that I will give you an explanation one day." ”
What he said was extraordinarily rational and calm, but in Gu Shiyi's ears, he couldn't help but feel a little more cruel and cruel, she wanted to refute, but it seemed to be in her throat, and she finally sneered after enduring it for a long time, "Then I'll wait and see." ”
The two of them stopped talking, and walked out silently, because it was raining outside, the car had already waited outside the courtyard gate, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was cold and cold on the body, they got into the car one after the other, as if they had a heart to each other, and still didn't say a word.
The car soon drove to the courtyard of the main house, this day because it was a newlywed's tea, so early in the morning, the women in the house all arrived, because of Gu Shiyi's different identity, so everyone paid special attention to it, even Su Shengbai came early in the morning.
The tea in the main hall is complete, such a person, the etiquette is very important, even if it is a cup for tea, all of them are selected to be antiques from the former Qing Dynasty, and there are also a number of gifts sent by each room, and a dazzling array of half the hall is placed.
Su Huiyi got out of the car and went in first, Gu Shiyi followed him, because it was not the first time to come, he was already familiar with the surrounding scenery, and he was already familiar with the surrounding scenery.
The rain was heavy, and the trees rustled. Slowly walked in, and saw a large family sitting in the hall, she hated this kind of old-fashioned family the most, although she was familiar with the women, but at such a time, she didn't know how to deal with it.
The third aunt saw that she was blushing, so she teased her, "The new daughter-in-law is embarrassed." ”
As soon as her words came out, she attracted a few aunts and wives to echo her, you and I said one sentence at a time, and the ridicule of the woman's family was always less taboo, so she said it like this, which made her more and more embarrassed.
Su Shengbai coughed at the right time, and everyone stopped talking. He turned to Su Huiyi and asked with a cold face, "Where did you go yesterday?" ”
This kind of thing, originally according to the identity of the elder, it was natural to ask, not to mention Gu Shiyi's identity, he wanted to breathe a sigh for her in front of everyone.
Su Huiyi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The military department has something to do temporarily, so it was delayed." ”
Su Shengbai snorted coldly, but did not reprimand again. just turned his head to look at Gu Shiyi, and smiled gently, "Poetic, Lao Qi, he has always been career-oriented, and he hasn't done enough things, I really wronged you yesterday." ”
Gu Shiyi naturally understood that it was just a matter of going through the motions, such an old-fashioned family, since some men were too pedantic to think about it, although she was secretly laughing in her heart, she didn't want to be too careful about this matter, so she smiled, "Father, I knew that Qi Shao was such a person before I got married, so I didn't feel wronged, but I felt that it was my blessing to marry such a responsible man." ”
Although she doesn't look at other people's eyes, her natural cultivation still wants to say a lot of things comfortably. Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, everyone in the room laughed in unison.
Su Huiyi glanced at her expressionlessly, and then offered tea to Su Shengbai, who was sitting at the top.
