XXXIV (2)

When the train arrived in Jinling, it was already four days later in the morning, slowly drove into the station, and saw a few hawkers in the station, such a morning, the dense fog has not yet dispersed, mixed with the unique heat of summer, intertwined with a strong wind in the air, the people on the car walked all the way down, faded away from the busyness of the journey, all walked a little lazy.

Shen Qiangrose walked at the back, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of her, her heart was naturally complicated, and for a moment she only felt that Jinling seemed to have lost even that sense of belonging, and she was only at a loss.

Ruan Hongyu saw that the vendors in the station were selling food, so she said, "Let's eat something." ”

She walked over, it was a small stall selling breakfast, and she chose a few at random, but she felt that there were many fewer people at the station than before, so she asked, "Why are there so few people today?" ”

The vendor collected the money and said with a smile: "Isn't this the time to catch up with the marriage of the seventh young man today, the vendors here have all gone to the south of the city, and it is now early in the morning, and there are a lot of people gathered there!" As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them, "Have you just arrived in Jinling?" It's a coincidence, just in time for such a good day. ”

Ruan Hongyu subconsciously went to look at Shen Qiangrose, and saw that her face was extremely calm, so she grabbed her arm, "Let's eat something first." ”

Although Shen Qiangrose had known that there would be this day, but when she really faced it, she felt bored, she shook her head wistfully, "It's really a coincidence, let me catch up sooner rather than later." ”

The two of them walked in the increasingly empty station, the morning breeze was blowing warmly, and there was an oil lamp that had not been extinguished all night in the distance, revealing a trace of cold light in the dim morning fog, and the sound of Ruan Hongyu stepping on high heels was accompanied by her dazed state of mind, all the way out.

When I got out of the station, I saw a lot of people on the street, some stopped to watch, some intertwined and shuttled along the route, but it was much more lively than the usual morning, the aisle was noisy and noisy, almost everyone was discussing this grand wedding, even if it had nothing to do with everyone, but still couldn't stop that kind of excitement.

Shen Qiangrose had been on the train for a few days, she was extremely tired, and her body had not fully recovered. indifferently followed Ruan Hongyu and stopped, as if he couldn't say a word.

After inquiring, I found out that the reason why this street was crowded with pedestrians was because the Su family's welcoming convoy would pass by, although both sides of the street were already full of sentry posts, they still couldn't resist people's enthusiasm. Standing behind and watching, Ruan Hongyu was also in a somewhat complicated mood, so she pulled Shen Qiangrose to stand at the end, and whispered, "Do you want to find a place to rest first?" ”

Shen Qiangrose shook her head, "Since you have caught up, let's take a look." ”

Ruan Hongyu didn't know how to comfort her, so she took out the food she bought at the right time, and ate it silently, but she also felt that the food didn't know the taste, until the voices at the other end suddenly boiled, and the two of them raised their eyes to look over, and sure enough, they saw the convoy slowly driving over, and the car at the head was full of flowers, completely dressed according to the Western-style wedding, but the sides were all escorted by guards, and the battle was very large.

The car was in the open air, so you could see the two people sitting in the car, Shen Qiangrose saw him almost at first sight, he did not follow the Western etiquette to wear a wedding dress, but wore a military uniform, no different from the appearance in his memory, on such a day, there was not much joy between the eyebrows, but as usual expressionless.

On the other hand, Gu Shiyi, there was no smile on her beautiful face, in fact, she may not be able to see it clearly, the car drove over in an instant, the salute rumbled, and the people watching in the aisle couldn't help cheering, noisy.

Shen Qiangrose looked at it in a trance, but felt that she was in a completely unrelated space, and she didn't know how to react. Ruan Hongyu pulled her, "Rose, do you want to go back?" ”

Shen Qiangrose came to her senses at this time, just like that momentary flash, she thought a lot, but nodded firmly, "I really want to see how these people react when they see me." ”

Ruan Hongyu smiled, "Today, the seventh young man is married, if I want to send you in, I'm afraid it's not so easy, and I'm afraid my old relationships are useless." She glanced at the crowd and said with some regret: "I'm afraid it's not easy to get an invitation." ”

Shen Qiangrose thought for a while before saying, "You can go to the military headquarters first, there are all his people." ”

Ruan Hongyu suddenly realized oh, then pulled her to take a rickshaw, the two of them walked over from the other side, at this time the crowd dispersed, rushing to the east, west, north and south, the car was pulled by a middle-aged man, as soon as he heard the destination, it was very strange to look at them a few times, Ruan Hongyu said: "You just go, your money is indispensable." ”

Na Lache Han laughed, and then pulled them to the military headquarters, because it was a place that ordinary people could not approach, that person inevitably had some doubts in his heart, but seeing that the two had different styles, he didn't ask more.

The journey was naturally bumpy, until the corner of the street, the man stopped, and now the sun gradually brightened, he sweated profusely, and while wiping the sweat with his hands, he said: "Two young ladies, the place ahead is not where I dare to go, so I can only pull you here." ”

Ruan Hongyu was not embarrassed, reached out and gave him a dollar, and walked over with Shen Qiangrose in her arms. The street was quite long, but it was a forbidden section, and it was very empty, and there were guards standing beside the road, and when they saw them coming, they raised their spears and waved them to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Qiangrose did not pause, but took two steps forward, and the guards looked over here, and couldn't help but look at each other, until she got closer and closer, and someone widened her eyes in surprise, "Husband, madam?!" ”

When Shen Qiangrose heard this, she felt impatient, so she said, "Tell him I'm back." ”

When these guards heard this, they glanced at each other, because of a day like today, they didn't dare to assert themselves, but considering the weight of Shen Qiangrose in Qi Shao's heart, they nodded and led her inside, "Madame, let's go to the reception room to rest first, and we will contact Qi Shao immediately." ”

Shen Qiangrose knew that these were excuses, and she didn't want to make these people unlucky for herself, so she said: "You don't have to tell him now, wait for the convenience of the time." ”

Ruan Hongyu beside her pinched her arm, "When is it, you are still so generous." ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't speak, the two of them were quickly taken to the reception room, standing in front of the window, they could hear the roar of the salute in the distance, and they could even hear the quiet north of the city clearly, so they could imagine the liveliness of the wedding.

I don't know how long I waited, I just felt that the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and the ground seemed to be a little dry, Shen Qiangrose leaned on the sofa, and her mood went from being at a loss at the beginning to being unwavering now, and it only took a few hours. She knew that in order not to disrupt the normal progress of the wedding, these people would have to wait until later to tell him.

But even so, she still felt disappointed.

The original idea of wanting to appear at the wedding scene immediately also disappeared, only felt bored, sat there as if to fall asleep, the floor clock was walking minute by minute, but it was extremely difficult, she felt that she was about to completely collapse in this silence, but she could not do anything.

Faintly heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor, she raised her eyes, and saw that the door was pushed open, and she was greeted by a pair of slightly helpless eyes, first stunned, and then walked in quickly, so she hugged her in her arms without caring about others, tightly, with a little enthusiasm to hold her in her arms.

All this was too sudden, Shen Qiangrose didn't know what to do, but with resentment in her heart, she struggled hard in his arms, and her voice was cold, "You let go of me!" ”

The surroundings were very quiet, all the irrelevant people all withdrew, only the two of them remained, she became more and more annoyed in her heart, seeing that he didn't let go like this, she was very angry, "Su Huiyi, you let go!" ”

Su Huiyi let go of her hand and looked at her for a moment, she was much thinner than when she was separated, and standing opposite her at this time, she looked more and more weak.

He looked at her lower abdomen, and there were too many questions for a moment, but he looked at her cold eyes, but he couldn't ask a word, and opened his mouth several times to say something, but he was silent.

Shen Qiangrose sneered and took two steps back, and couldn't help but ask sarcastically: "I'm really congratulated on Qi Shao, marrying such a proud daughter of the sky, and marrying thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, it is really gratifying." ”

Su Huiyi stood silently opposite, listening to her ridicule like this, but couldn't say a word. This move became a default in Shen Qiangrose's eyes, and now, she didn't even disdain to sneer, she just felt bored, the grievances in her heart, even the grievances, she didn't want to say anything to him, just said calmly: "I didn't mean to come back at this time to ruin Qishao's wedding, it just happened." ”

She turned away from him, the sunlight stretched her shadow very long, she watched quietly, trying her best to control her emotions, "It's come to this point, I don't think there's anything to say between us, although I know that you big families may not care about that marriage letter, but I, a little woman, was originally alone, since I want to quit, I naturally have to be clean." ”

She paused, "Please also ask Qishao to destroy the marriage certificate, or give me a copy of the divorce letter, we are all decent people, let's get together and disperse." ”

Su Huiyi looked at her back, so slender, his mind was chaotic for a moment, how could he explain it? Whatever the reason, he betrayed their oath once again and married another woman.

But those thoughts were also true, after she left, he never gave up looking for her, but the road to the north was too long and too far, and he didn't hear from her. even thought about canceling the wedding, but as the commander-in-chief, he always had some burdens that he couldn't remove.

Those helplessness wrapped around him as if they were shackles, he thought that he could get closer to her by taking this step, but now it seems that the two will only drift apart.

He had a lot of nostalgia and wanted to confide, but looking at her thin figure, he couldn't say anything except self-blame and worry, and opened his mouth, "Rose, you give me a chance, I will explain these things to you slowly." ”
