Chapter 32: The Dream of Butterflies (I)

My heart moved, and I suddenly smiled awkwardly: "I really didn't mean that, I just want to say, if Xiuqiao you come in advance, I can also clean the courtyard, prepare tea and snacks, and entertain the two of you, that ......" In fact, I just want to say in my heart that they came too suddenly, which makes me a little overwhelmed, and besides, I am ...... at the moment. Inexplicably remembered what I was doing in the incense hall, today I, don't I just want to worship my deceased wife?

However, Miss Suyu came at this time, but she caught me off guard...... Xiuqiao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Who wants to eat the dim sum of your poor and sour Xiucai, let alone drink your tea, your tea is bitter." Don't drink it, but my young lady just wants to come to see you, and she can't stop it, so let's see what to do? As she spoke, Xiuqiao pretended to greet someone and glanced around the gate.

Seeing this, I hurriedly dodged away, got out of the way, and said, "Rudeness, faux pas!" Miss Su Yu, please come in, please come in. I was in a trance for a while, but I blocked Miss Su Yu from the door. "Welcoming the two into the yard, I hurriedly looked outside, and saw that no one in the neighborhood stopped to watch, nor did they attract the attention of others, which made me feel a little relieved.

And at this moment, Xiuqiao, the maid who had just walked into the courtyard, couldn't help but laugh: "Don't look, there's no one outside, I'm scaring you, do you think we didn't know to avoid idle people when we came?" Saying that, Xiuqiao circled around the courtyard, and kept shaking her head and smacking her lips, it seemed that there was no place for Miss Su Yu to stay, and then, the maid Xiuqiao had to go to the hall with Miss Su Yu.

Women who have not left the cabinet are strictly forbidden to show their heads outside, let alone come to my poor and sour home, if they are discovered, they will definitely make people gossip a lot. Therefore, every time Miss Su Yu came, she asked Xiuqiao to come to ventilate in advance, and let me wait at the back door, and it was also the time of the willow tops on the moon, but today in broad daylight, Miss Su Yu and the maid Xiuqiao came recklessly, and they did not shy away from it, and only played an oil-paper umbrella to cover it, which ...... I don't understand that.

At the moment before entering the hall, Miss Su Yu suddenly stopped, and said softly without looking back: "Today coincides with the Qingming Festival, and I also know that today is Sister Xiaoqin's death day, so I want to come to worship. After that, I saw Miss Su Yu walking lightly under my stunned eyes, and walked into the hall with the help of the maid.

Xiaoqin is the nickname of my deceased wife Zheng, and I have been in love with Miss Su Yu for so long, and I haven't hidden it from her about my family affairs. It's just that she has a deep love for me, and she doesn't mind that I have a family, Zheng's Xiaoqin and I have been married for three years, and I am frail and sickly, and last year and today, after all, I still couldn't support it. I have always been haunted by Xiaoqin's death, I can't let go, one day I got drunk in the wine shop, casually mentioned a seven-word poem, for the bitterness of life, I never thought that it would be famous, and it was praised by each other in the streets and alleys.

In the end, it fell into the ears of this Miss Qiu Suyu, so far, Miss Qiu Suyu also improvised a poem, which has been sought after all over the city, and many literati and writers jokingly call our Zihao and Qiu Suyu are talented women, a match made in heaven, but after all, there is no fate. It's just because Qiu Suyu's father Qiu Chengmo is the governor of this place, the court official who governs one side, and his family is well-off, and I, who was originally the eldest son of Fang Lin, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, but unfortunately my father's middle-aged business failed, and the family property fell into nothing.

His father died of depression, and his mother was even more ill, so she eventually went away with her father. Now I, and the daughter of Nazhizhou, Qiu Suyu, are not in the right household, not only the world understands that we cannot come together, but even Qiu Suyu's father has ordered the ban on the seven-character poem I wrote, and issued a notice that the people in the city, if anyone desecrates his daughter's reputation, will be severely punished.

But it backfired, and the following year I enjoyed the flowers at West Lake, and I met Miss Qiu Suyu again, and I hit it off at first sight. I am a poor and destitute sour Xiucai, this Xiuqiao is not wrong, plus I have a family, and I don't want to drag down Miss Su Yu's good youth, but love this thing, as if like a drizzle, lingering, like the fragrance of March flowers, a hundred miles in an instant, came too suddenly, I didn't expect it, and Miss Su Yu also fell in love with me at first sight.

After saying goodbye to the West Lake, I thought that I would never have the opportunity to see Miss Su Yu again, but I never thought that this little girl Xiuqiao would quietly inquire about my residence, and privately pass letters with me and Miss Su Yu. Eventually, the relationship grew, and one night, Miss Su Yu, accompanied by Xiuqiao, quietly came to the back door of my house, and since then, we have had secret trysts every once in a while. I know very well that I am not worthy of Miss Su Yu, so every time I meet, I dare not have the delusion of crossing the thunder pool, and I just go against Miss Su Yu's poetry and treat each other politely as a guest.

Although I don't know how long this fruitless feeling will last, I can't help but indulge in it. I never thought that on the day I worshiped my deceased wife, Miss Su Yu came to my house from the main gate openly, and wanted to worship my deceased wife with me...... But what should I do to repay Miss Su Yu's affection for me?

I had mixed feelings in my heart, and when I walked into the hall, I found that Miss Su Yu had already entered the incense hall, and the maid Xiuqiao was standing in the hall waiting alone. Seeing me coming, the maid Xiuqiao pouted slightly, walked slowly to my side, and said in a low voice: "Fang Xiucai, you idiot, don't you see that my young lady has something on her mind today?" I was stunned, glanced at Xiuqiao, and then turned my head to glance at the incense hall, at this moment Miss Su Yu is sincerely worshipping my deceased wife Xiaoqin, this situation, really moved me inexplicably.

But I was still stunned and asked, "Xiuqiao, I'm stupid and ignorant, please tell me the truth, stop teasing me." With that, I bowed heavily to Xiuqiao. How do I know that Xiuqiao snorted seriously, turned my head, I was stunned again, Xiuqiao didn't joke, is it true? But Miss Su Yu is the daughter of Zhizhou, who dares to make Miss Su Yu unhappy?

Unless, unless it's her father.

I opened my mouth slightly, hurriedly pulled Xiuqiao to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that Lord Zhizhou blamed Miss?" Let Miss be wronged? "I didn't think about it, after hearing my words, the maid Xiuqiao snorted again, turned her head again, I was completely confused, if this is not, then it is not, I am a god...... Xiucai is innocent, why is he wrong everywhere?

As if seeing me standing aside with my head drooping and unable to speak, the maid Xiuqiao suddenly turned her head and tapped my forehead with her finger, which made my eyelids jump. Immediately, Xiuqiao pouted and said: "It's not all for you, the master knows that the young lady has been writing to you for several days, and in a fit of anger, all the letters you wrote to the young lady were burned, so the young lady did not hesitate to quarrel with the old man and ran away in a bad mood." This is just coming to your door, do you think we are so idle, we can come out if we want to? ”

"Huh? Then, isn't Lord Zhizhou a decent person to come to my house at this moment?! "I panicked.

"Phew!"

Unexpectedly, the maid Xiuqiao glanced at me, and then said: "My young lady is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Besides, even if the master copied your house, what can be copied? There are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, there is nothing valuable at all, and I don't bother to copy the house, but if the master really sends someone to arrest you again, it is indispensable to eat a board and squat for a few days, Fang Xiucai, you say, are you afraid? ”

"I ...... What am I afraid of! I was already delirious, and I was startled by this girl's words, and when I heard this, I sighed deeply, shook my sleeves fiercely and said, "You, you, Xiuqiao, Xiuqiao, you are really confused...... I'm a small thing to eat a board, and I don't care about squatting in the class room, but I'm afraid that your young lady's reputation will be ruined! You, you shouldn't have brought Miss to my house, you, alas! ”

After that, I hurriedly walked into the incense hall, and at this moment, Miss Su Yu had finished worshipping, turned around and walked to the desk, picked up the poem I had written earlier, and read it softly...... "Ten years of life and death, two vast, no thoughts, unforgettable, thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation...... Alas, this poem, how sad, but it is not said to me, if you can have half of the affection for me, my move is also worth it. After that, I saw Miss Su Yu slowly put it on the desk, hiding her face and crying.

I immediately stayed on the spot, maybe Miss Su Yu was talking to herself, or maybe she knew what I was saying when I walked in, but no matter what, I regretted that I couldn't dispose of that poem in time, and I shouldn't have let Miss Su Yu see it...... Now Miss Su Yu is jealous, I am afraid that she is hating my affection for her, not comparing to the affection of Zheng's deceased wife. But how do she know that she and Zheng's deceased wife can't be compared with each other at all, one is the deceased wife who remembers it, and the other is the favorite beauty, if you have to say comparison, my affection for Miss Su Yu is only afraid that there are 300 Tang poems that cannot be expressed, and 600 Song poems can't be confided......

Unfortunately, when the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to explain them to Miss Su Yu. I had to watch Miss Su Yu standing in front of the desk and wiping her tears. In this kind of scene, it would be wrong to say that I would not persuade and explain, but just as I was about to step forward, the maid Xiuqiao in the hall suddenly rushed in, first looked at me and Miss Su Yu in a daze, and then walked to Miss Su Yu's side, and said anxiously: "Oh no, Miss, the people sent by the master have come and want to arrest you back!" ”
