Tears poured out of her eyes and rolled down her fingers.

He was stunned for a moment, and seemed to quickly understand what was going on, and then pulled me into his arms and hugged me, his palm gently caressed my back, while calming me down from sobbing, while chuckling in my ear and comforting me with a very gentle tone: "What should I do, you don't have to be so embarrassed about yourself, if you want to hate me, just hate me, I'm a big man who won't lose two pounds of meat just because a little girl hates me." ”

I couldn't stop sobbing: "But I, but I don't just hate you, I even want to ......"

Even when I said this, his voice was still smiling lightly: "Even if you want me to die, it's okay, it's just an idea, and it's not like I'm really going to die because of some of your thoughts." Besides, you're not the only one in the world who wants me to die. ”

"Are there a lot of people who want you dead?" I raised my hand and wiped away a handful of tears.

He chuckled, and the breath of his mouth made my ears itch a little: "Yes, there are so many people in this world who want my life to have a painting boat, and one more of you is really not too much, so you don't have to take it to heart at all, let yourself be so uncomfortable." ”

Hearing him say that, I relented a little. The irritability that grew uncontrollably in his heart gradually retreated, and finally gradually died down in his warm and calm tone, and finally retracted to the bottom of his heart, like the rain in June, which came and went quickly.

I raised my head from his arms, thought for a long time, and gave him a sincere suggestion: "Since so many people want your life, do you want to find the reason from yourself?" ”

He said solemnly: "It is their business that they want my life, what does it matter to me? ”

“…… If you think so, it seems to be okay. ”

He didn't know when he lay back on the rattan chair, and the bowl of medicine came to him again: "Come, drink this medicine." ”

“……”

I knew I couldn't hide, so I silently poured the medicine, and then found a futon to sit down on his rattan chair, chewing sweet and fluffy osmanthus crisp, while chatting with him: "How long have I slept this night?" ”

He replied softly, "About four hours." ”

"That was last night. Last night you were at the door of the tea room on the top floor of the painting boat, did you call me 'envy'? ”

"Yes."

I looked back in surprise: "So you knew me before?" ”

"I don't know."

"Then why do you know my name, you can't guess?"

"I know you all over the world."

"Are you a friend of Big Brother You?"

"He asked me to make you new clothes to wear on the first day, and showed me a full-body portrait of you."

I remembered, this year's Chinese New Year, in order to celebrate my complete recovery, Brother You specially asked someone to make me new clothes, saying that I should dress up from head to toe, the New Year has a good omen, the clothes are very exquisite, the vermilion stand-up collar jacquard long jacket, the blue crane moire pleated skirt are all I like, the most important thing, although the person who made the clothes has not seen me, the clothes have made me extremely fit.

I muttered, "So you're a tailor." ”

"Hmm." He responded shallowly.

This is actually very unexpected to me, I think this man has a cold aura when he doesn't speak, like a cool assassin, like a sad general, like a happy king, but not at all like a tailor who handles needlework.

I couldn't help but pinch this extremely good-wearing soot silk shirt on my body, and the slippery touch was ironed into my heart from between my fingers, and I asked him, "Did you make this shirt too?" ”

"Yes." Xu saw that I was curious, so he explained a few more words, "My wife is very beautiful, but she doesn't have many clothes. When we got married, we were in a hurry and in a hurry, the clothes were chosen randomly, and she didn't wear a beautiful wedding dress, which is a regret in my heart, so later I would make a few outfits for her every year, and by the way, I would also make a few outfits for myself that could match her. ”

I looked at his clothes of the same material and shape, and suddenly felt a little sour, I couldn't tell whether it was envy or regret, and muttered: "It turns out that you are married." Thinking of what he said about making himself a few clothes to match her, he asked, "Then the clothes I am wearing now should not be Mrs. Zun's clothes, right?" ”

He turned his face and looked at me from head to toe, and for some reason the corners of his lips gradually became smiling, "It's her clothes." He said.

"Then I...... Go back to the place where you live, change your clothes, wash them and return them to Mrs. Zun. ”

"No, she shouldn't mind you wearing it." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to look at the book, I leaned together in the book, and saw that the name of the book was very interesting, called "Zhao Lord's Reasons for Leave Summary II", presumably there must be "Zhao Lord's Reasons for Leave Summary Daquan I".

"I don't know why this adult surnamed Zhao is so powerful, there are so many reasons to ask for leave that I can write a book." I sneered, and I didn't know why there was a feeling of emptiness in my heart, as if I was the one who exposed Lord Zhao as an official and asked for leave every day.

"I said hello to you in all directions, and he will pick you up in half an hour, and today he will take you back to Ningguo."

I grabbed his rattan chair as if I could continue to stay in Nanguo Mansion in this way, and struggled: "I can't go back to Ningguo yet, I still have important things to do." ”

He didn't even raise his eyelids: "You can't come forward to buy Xiyuan by yourself, the person who wants your life is already in Nanguo Mansion, and he is also optimistic about this house, and he will also participate in the auction held by Ning Guoguan Mansion tomorrow." ”

I gasped, and a bad premonition came to my head: "Then I can't buy this house?" ”

He looked up at the window, and after a long silence, he looked me in the eye and said, "I will try to help you buy this house back." But," he said, lowering his eyes, "if they find out that Xiyuan was bought by me, it is likely that you will be implicated." So envy, if you choose between you and the house, I still hope you can be safe. ”

This is the second time he has called me envious.

I didn't fully understand what he was saying, and I didn't know why so many people wanted to buy the house where my parents lived, but I still understood some truth, so I patted him on the shoulder and said, "No matter how important this house is to me, it is just an external object, and life does not bring death to it, so don't be too embarrassed." And, after all, it's my own business. ”

While waiting for the tour to come, I walked around the Creek Garden, and God had mercy on me, so the day before the Creek Garden was sold, I had the privilege of taking a stroll here to see what it looked like.

At that time, Huai'an, the capital of the southern country, the city gate was breached by the Jin army, my father was shot by the forbidden army, and my mother was disheartened, but I was afraid that I would be violated by the chaotic army that poured into the city, so she forcibly took it away, and she took away the gold, silver and jewelry prepared by her father in advance, but she didn't love money, and she couldn't take away the things she loved.

At that time, my mother told me: "Xian'er, my mother's most beloved thing in my life is this house, every brick and tile, every flower and tree, every stream and a pond in this house is all polished by your father's efforts, and my mother hates herself for being incompetent, and she can't protect your father or Xiyuan." ”

I walked with her to the gate of the brook garden, and she wanted to turn around and set fire to the house so that it would not fall into the hands of thieves. But after all, she was still reluctant, how could she bear to send everything her father gave her into the fire, turn into billowing smoke, and turn into ashes. So I finally stood in front of the gate of Xiyuan, looked at the plaque hanging under the lintel, and looked at the word "Xiyuan" written by my father, and suddenly, tears fell like rain.

The old country and the old people are gone, and the past is unbearable.

I didn't expect my mother's only daughter, I, to be so incompetent, I tried my best to get to Nanguo Mansion, but now I want to leave in a hurry, and I tossed for a while, and finally I still couldn't buy this Xiyuan.

Half an hour later, You Sifang really came, he was very respectful to the tailor, the courtesy was very thoughtful, and his expression was also very solemn.

Before leaving, I remembered that I hadn't asked him what his name was, so I hurriedly ran back, and saw him standing in front of the rattan chair, looking down at the medicine bowl in a daze, and when I heard the sound, I looked at me sideways, and looked worried: "Why are you back again?" ”

I clasped my hands into fists and said, "Dare to ask Engong's name?" ”

He smiled, like the shining sunlight in March in Jiangnan, "My name is Wei Qi." ”

"The seventh in the family?"

His eyes twitched, and he nodded thoughtfully, "Yes." ”

"You should know my real name, but in fact, I have another name, called Wei Xinyue, which is the name I use when I do business." I stepped out of the door, waved my hand, and said, "There will be a meeting later, Brother Wei." ”
