Chapter 46: The Season of Falling Flowers (3)
He didn't give up: "Am I not good to you, we grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and occasionally fight over which thing I didn't let you do?"
"I remember that you said that you like to ride horses, and it was not long before I found a beautiful and docile little red horse to give it to you, and even the whip you used was personally selected by me, for fear that the person who sent it would not care, and the whip was rough and worn out of your hands; You accidentally fell off the horse and hurt your foot, I carried you home step by step, comforting you all the way, telling you jokes; You like to eat Shanhailou's dishes I pay attention to his family's recipes every month Find an opportunity to ask Murong Ying to call you out for a small gathering; Even if you are afraid of being scolded by Qin Shibo, I will try my best to help you hide that I have done so much for you, can't you see it at all?"
"Qin Xi, do you have a heart?"
When it came to the last sentence, he was very excited, and his heartfelt words were so sincere
If you were someone else, I would really be very moved The bits and pieces of the past are all in my heart No one can erase it But he is the Dugu Hao I have known since I was a child I almost instinctively resisted his kindness to me: "You are just doing it to my father Ask yourself Do you really care about me and care about me Do you treat me as a friend who grew up together Dugu Hao, you are sober You and I can be friends with anyone But we only have interests between us You will be able to do it every time you do it Do you dare to say that your words from the heart and lungs are not mixed with a little purpose "
He was extremely hurt and sneered: "Then what about Murong Ying, you are also deliberately acting on the spot."
"Sister Ying is different"
"What's the difference, I am the heir of the Dugu clan She will also take over the Murong family We are all just puppets within the family in essence What is the difference What binds me and yours is the interests Could it be that the Murong clan can be alone Your identity is the same and you can't choose."
"Dugu Hao, you are obsessed in the game, it is your choice to be in charge of the clan, you choose the path you choose, and you have to go down on your knees."
This is the weight that must be borne in the struggle for power, and how can he not understand it, but he is just crazy with the strength of alcohol
A weird smile appeared on his lips, and he returned to the Dugu Hao I was familiar with, and unexpectedly sneered: "Stinky girl, you finally have a little brain, and you haven't lived up to your surname This son is acting so hard, but he can't impress you It seems that you are really a stubborn stone that can't be chiseled, and I don't know how to appreciate the charm of this son, so it's better to leave it to him."
I was angry: "Dugu Hao, is it fun to play tricks, Miss Ben doesn't have that spare time to play with you?"
He suddenly grabbed my hand, his face was ruthless, and the strength was so great that I gasped, and I only listened to his words, and he was very sharp, and Fang Cai judged the two of them, and forced me: "How did you know about my mother?"
He went to such great lengths to trick me, it turned out that he was asking the teacher to ask for guilt
I won't be frightened by his momentum With his identity, I don't dare to do anything to me: "Don't forget who I am, and what are the secrets of the family that I can't try to know?"
He said viciously: "Very good, I know that with Murong Ying's mind, I will never come up with this trick You are really despicable, it is really good to use Murong Ying to hit me."
"My son will definitely make you pay for this matter, as for Murong Ying, I will not let her go, I will definitely make you regret not being at the beginning."
His anger was simply inexplicable Sister Ying was just for ...... I scolded: "Dugu Hao, what are you crazy about, the silk handkerchief is Sister Ying's heart, why do you bother with the heart of a villain?"
The bruises on his forehead flared up and he shook off my hand with a cold face I staggered back two steps and rubbed the sore spot of the pinch This madman
"My villain's heart, Murong Ying is being toyed with by you and still don't know it Between the applause, you seem to be simple and flawless, and you have more dark thoughts in your stomach than anyone else, and only Murong Ying, that fool, is willing to pay your heart Qin Xi, you dare not admit that you are just using her."
"Why do you say that, Sister Ying" At this point, I don't think about how he slanders me, I just don't want to bother Sister Ying because he hates me She put down her posture and wants to get close to him She wants to leave an inch of softness in his heart Only I know her sourness How can I allow Dugu Hao to think of her like this
"It doesn't matter what you think of me, I don't care, anyway, it's not a day or two that you hate me, Sister Keying's kindness to you is in your eyes, can you really be hard-hearted, can you pretend that you can't see anything, Dugu Hao, you are a coward who deceives himself."
"Even now, you are still so self-righteous"
He took out the silk handkerchief from the placket of his clothes with a cold face I didn't have time to stop it He had already urged his internal force to break the silk handkerchief into dozens of slender strips with a determined expression and threw it into the air: "No one can threaten me with my mother, and you are no exception."
As soon as he vented and left happily, I was so angry that I stomped my feet and shouted: "Dugu Hao, you bastard"
The broken silk handkerchiefs were spread all over the ground, and there was a kind of miserable Bai Ying's sister's heart, because I was completely ruined, I couldn't tell how sad I had to squat down and pick up the silk handkerchiefs one by one, as if I could save something by doing so, even though I knew that it was all a foregone conclusion
Dugu Hao's ambition for the clan can't tolerate the slightest pity for Sister Ying It is destined to be disappointed, it is better to never start Simply cut off her last trace of thought I can still leave some room for each other I am only glad that it is me and not her who faces this situation If someone humiliates the friendship in my hands to this point, I will be unbearable
I cried aggrievedly while picking up the broken pieces all over the ground My relationship with Dugu Hao couldn't be worse Especially heartbreaking is Sister Ying's heart She is burdened with the pressure of the clan and falling in love with Dugu Hao is a tragedy in itself There will be no result Even the last bit of beauty that he tried to keep in his mind has been lost
"Don't pick it up"
Qi Ao didn't know when he turned back, and he pointed out: "What you are destined to lose is the same as if you do it or not, and the result is the same as in vain."
"You won't understand" He has never liked a person, how can he understand until he is lovesick and useless
He was still cold and self-contained until I picked up the last piece: "You are self-defeating because you think you know him, but you never really want to see his heart."
"He" naturally refers to Dugu Hao, and I clutched the silk handkerchief that was broken into strips of cloth: "What do you mean by this?"
"Qin Xi, your luck is very good, you have the most open-minded father in the world to protect you from birth carefree, the rest of the people are not as good as you, you just need to understand that the cruelty of the struggle within the family is far from being pampered, you can imagine that the Dugu Hao you see is not the real him Mrs. may have been the most touching place in his heart, but in the years of fighting, it has slowly become the stain he wants to erase the most."
"This stain is picked out by you who are at odds with him, how can he not be angry"
I said in a clear state of mind: "What he can't face is not the eyes of others, but himself."
Qi Ao did not refute: "The authorities are confused, just as Murong Ying is not willing to be ruthless, you also understand that her feelings are empty in the end, but you still choose to help her, just because between the two of them, you are more inclined to Murong Ying."
He had already seen Sister Ying's affection for Dugu Hao Isn't that Dugu Hao
"Dugu's move didn't break Murong Ying's thoughts that he shouldn't have, his personal feelings are insignificant compared to the general trend, and this is only good for the two of them, and there is no harm in it, and what is the importance of whether to use your hand to cut off the love thread?"
I can't agree with these words based on my experience Why should my children's personal feelings be sacrificed I stood up straight and said to him with a firm expression: "You may laugh at me for being short-sighted and difficult to achieve a great cause, but I only know that liking someone is not a shameful thing to hide Admiration for your sweetheart If you don't go to fight bravely and strive for it, how do you know that the ending is not satisfactory?"
"If fate has not arrived, it will not be in vain to show sincere affection; If he weighs and thinks about it many times, he misses the person he likes, and he will regret it when he thinks about it every day, and he will regret it for the rest of his life."
Qi Ao's black eyes flowed, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his complexion was still calm: "It's getting late, go back."
When I walked out of the side door of Dugu Mansion, the servant lifted the sedan curtain, and when I wanted to bend over, I saw a person walking leisurely in the courtyard, and his elegant posture made people suddenly feel that the world was discolored, and I caught a glimpse of a touch of azure at the corner of his clothes My heart was as calm as water How could he coincidentally wear a cyan dress Compared to the nasty ghost in Dugu Mansion, he looked much more pleasing to the eye
Li Sanlang walked proudly in front of me, and there was a very shallow smile on his pleasing face
I also learned from his appearance, smiling and smiling, and deliberately showed a surprised look: "It's you."
"I said you and I would meet again soon."
The lights in Dugu Mansion are still bright, and my heart is like a mirror: "Isn't it that you have become a guest of honor in Dugu Mansion tonight?"
"I can't hide anything from you, Qin Xi"
"So should I continue to call you Li Sanlang or Li Xuan" I don't know if he was intentional or unintentional The warm jade he wore on his waist was secretly engraved with the word "Xuan" I am even more puzzled The writing of this "Xuan" character originates from the writing of the southern country Can I boldly infer that he is from the southern country
I wasn't surprised at all that he guessed who I was
With his wisdom of insight into the world, just looking at Dugu Hao's attitude towards me, I also know seven or eight points about my identity My father sitting in the seat only confirmed his guess He is used to wandering and leisurely Presumably he does not want to be burdened by my identity in Qinzhou But he still wants to see me I still can't help but be happy in my heart
"You cried just now," I thought, my eyes were slightly swollen, so that he could see the clues
He was so straightforward, I was embarrassed to get up, subconsciously rubbed the corners of my eyes, and disguised: "When the wind rises, the sand enters my eyes, and it is no longer in the way."
He took out a white porcelain vial from his cuff and handed it to me naturally: "This bottle of gel is made by grinding and boiling mild herbs, and gently applied to the swollen area, and the effect is very fast, you might as well give it a try."
This is the second coincidence tonight in addition to the blue clothes I didn't immediately take the porcelain vase: "Do you calculate that I will cry for a while, so I prepared in advance."
He didn't deny it and said with a light smile: "I should consider setting up a stall on the side of the road to tell fortunes and divination for people, and I guess business will be very prosperous."
I didn't mean to make things difficult Listening to his ridicule, I said calmly: "We are even" He concealed his real name I didn't mention my last name and no one suffered
Li Xuan and I looked at each other tacitly and smiled, and then said: "I have two brothers in my family, the third in line, and there is nothing wrong with being called San Lang, and there is nothing wrong with the single name and one Xuan character, which was taken by my mother for me."
Xuan means gentleman's style, gentle and elegant, I think his mother is not a vulgar person
"Dare to ask Your Excellency" After a few words, I completely forgot about going back to my house Qi Ao obviously didn't know what was going on Qi Ao stepped forward to ask He saw Li Xuan for the first time There was a faint alarm in his words It may be that I am too careful I calmly introduced to him: "This son is my friend"
Li Xuan stood tall and respectfully bowed: "Under Li Xuan"
Qi Ao replied, but his face was already cold: "I haven't asked where Li Gongzi's family lives, who are still in the family, what is the purpose of coming to Qinzhou, can there be people with you?"
I was embarrassed and angry What is he doing Investigating the household registration Interrogating the prisoner I have only known Li Xuan for a few days It is easy to cultivate a little affection He came to such a show What does Li Xuan think of me Obviously, with Li Xuan's own eyes, I am not an ordinary relationship with Qi Ao This is really a big loss
I grimaced and said with displeasure: "What do you mean by asking this Are you doubting him or doubting me" In front of outsiders Qi Ao has never been against me What is he messing with today
"I won't ask too much, why do you have to be so nervous, how many outsiders pour into Qinzhou every day, do you know if someone with a heart sneaks into Qinzhou and deliberately approaches you, what damage do you have, how can I explain to the city lord?"
"I" owe him to come up with such a high-sounding reason, how I didn't find him so eloquent before
Li Xuan was very calm and did not have the slightest displeasure and said frankly: "I have passed through Qinzhou in various countries in the downstream and I am alone Right now, I live in the Li Mansion by the Bishui Lake and Miss Qin met by chance and am not an opportunist; My father and two brothers died at an early age, my mother married someone else, and I had little contact with relatives in the clan, if I still don't believe it, I can send someone to verify it."
Knowing my identity is equivalent to knowing Qi Ao's identity In the Qin Mansion, the two of us are about the same age It shows that Li Xuan is smart and talented to chat He mentioned that his mother was named when he was still gentle Hearing the disintegration of the family in his words at this moment It is especially sad What a troubled experience It can make a person talk about the unbearable past Calm and unwavering
No wonder he was hidden in the mountains and old forests when he was a child, and he was not stained by the world, and most of the worldly masters who accepted him as a disciple were entrusted by others to take care of him, temper his heart, and grind away the accumulated depression in his heart He has this indifference and lofty today His master should have spent a lot of effort Fortunately, he can have such a helpful master
I looked at him with a distressed and guilty look Qi Ao's mind was different from mine He said coldly and arrogantly: "Li Gongzi can rest assured that I will send someone to investigate."
In the face of Qi Ao's aggressiveness, Li Xuan smiled indifferently: "It's been a long time, it's getting late, Miss Qin, please come back, I'm leaving."
I apologized: "He is not a mean person, I hope you don't take what you said to heart, and I will go to you another day to make amends."
"Caring is chaotic, and having the care of Prince Qi is the blessing of Miss Qin."
Before I finished speaking, I heard Qi Ao urging impatiently: "Miss Qin is not leaving?"
Qi Ao's performance tonight is really abnormal No one who hears this will think that Qi Ao is just a distant relative living in my house A distant relative would not treat the eldest lady of the main family with such a casual attitude It will inevitably cause another incident I turned my head and sat in the sedan chair I only took one last look at Li Xuan before getting up the sedan chair
He stood in place, alone, only the evening breeze blew the corners of his blue clothes, slightly cool
A shallow smile of indifference rose at the corner of his mouth, and the whole person was so ...... lonely
Lowering the curtains, I took out the white porcelain bottle that Li Xuan gave me, and rubbed it with my hand, as if there was still residual warmth on the bottle
