Chapter 82
Three days later, His Majesty's holy decree came down, and it was Gonggong Li who came to the house, and three years ago, he came with this face of Yang Fengyin to ask Daddy to go to the border with Chu Muxiu. It's been three years, everything has been wrong, and almost all the bad and bad people have passed away, but why is a big villain like Gonggong Li still alive, still alive like a dog.
Your Majesty gave me a few boxes of good things, all of which were some pearl agate, jade and jade, and cloth and satin, which I had long been accustomed to, and I knew that these things were not just given to me, but let me bring them to Zixu to pay tribute to the king of Zixu Kingdom, and show the grace and luxury of Tianyue through me.
In the past, I thought that everything was good, as long as I was optimistic and worked hard, nothing could not be overcome, but gradually I feel that I am very strange now, I like to think about everything in a bad way, and sometimes I feel scared when I think about it.
Mo'er told me that in fact, Qianche had come to her, saying that His Highness had locked himself in the house and drank wine for several days, and he couldn't do anything about it, and finally asked Mo'er what he thought about going to Zixu Kingdom, and Mo'er ran away without saying anything.
That day, Mo'er came over to tell me that Chu Muxiu was coming, I was shocked, thinking about how he could stop, I stayed in the house and didn't go out to ask Mo'er to go out and do it for me.
Chu Muxiu had already woken up, and walked into the hall from the gate, and when he walked to the hall, Mo'er stretched out his hand to stop him, "Your Highness, please stay!" ”
Chu Muxiu was helpless: "Why did Mo'er stop me?" After speaking, he put Mo'er's hand aside and came in again.
Mo'er ran up and stopped again: "Your Highness really can't go in!" ”
"Do you really want your young lady to marry into Zixu Kingdom, I'll just say a word to Ah Candle!"
Mo'er was stunned and knelt on the ground suddenly, "Mo'er begged His Highness, just pity our young lady, she really has nothing, she has been very miserable during this time, everything here makes her sad, please let her go for the sake of our master, if you insist on trapping her in Huancheng, she will definitely hate you, you can give our young lady a way to live......"
I could see their every move through the thin window paper, and how pathetic I was, I didn't even have the courage to show up......
Mo'er's words made Chu Muxiu speechless, and asked Mo'er, "What about you, what about you and Qianche?" ”
Mo'er knelt down and said in a daze: "My young lady can't even climb up to you, how can I ask for anything if I'm just a lowly maid." The Nan family is kind to me, Mo'er has nothing else to think about, and is only willing to stay by Miss's side to take care of her in this life. ”
This is not only for Chu Muxiu, but also for me. There are some reasons why Mo'er and Qianche have become what they are today, I always thought that I had endured more than Mo'er, but in fact, after hearing Mo'er's words today, I understood more deeply that Mo'er's heart is not less bitter than mine.
I'm glad, I'm glad I used to be nice to Mo'er.
I stood by the window, I didn't expect Chu Muxiu to turn back suddenly, I glanced at him before I came to my senses and hid to the other side with my back to the window. He must have seen me, and he saw me clearly, so he shouted at me, "Do you really want to marry into Zixu Kingdom, even if you hate me, you can't take the happiness of your life!" ”
My palms were covered in cold sweat, and I didn't say a word. I think happiness is too luxurious for me, too ethereal, I am now ruined and sent under the fence, it is already a blessing to be able to live in secret, what qualifications do I have to talk about happiness?
"Can we meet once, see you at the end, I'll be waiting for you at Drunken Immortal Residence tomorrow at noon, if you don't come, I won't leave, so I beg you to come!"
He looked at my window, and saw that I hadn't moved for a long time, so he picked Mo'er up and left.
I didn't dare to show my face until he was gone, why did he come to shake me and challenge my final bottom line every time I finally made up my mind......
After dinner in the evening, I cleaned up in the house, Mo'er helped me on the side, and when the thing was halfway received, the token of Yiwangfu fell, Mo'er quickly went over to pick it up and handed it to me, I took it in my hand and touched it, and then put it on the table again, "Keep it, it's useless to take it!" ”
"Are you going to go?" Mo'er asked me.
My fingers trembled, and then I said while packing up my things, "Don't go, I lied to Xuanwu, do you think I really went to Lingcheng to find Uncle Zhang?" ”
"Miss obviously knows that what I told you is not this, if you are reluctant, go to see His Highness, just talk about the matter, it may really be the last time!"
I smiled and snatched Mo'er's clothes from my hand, stepped aside and said, "There are too many things to tidy up, so how can I be free tomorrow." ”
There was a dark shadow faintly printed on the door frame, why hadn't he left yet. I sat inside the door, reaching out and touching the figure that went up and down, and the man seemed to be sobbing just like me. It's just a small door, but I feel like I'm separated by thousands of mountains and seas. I pinned my heart countless times, "You go, let's go......"
I woke up early in the morning because I couldn't sleep. Daddy and Aunt Song left at noon, and Lu Huai also left at noon, I was actually a little scared, afraid of the arrival of noon today.
Chu Muxiu arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence in the morning, and after drinking a few cups of tea, it was noon.
The sun had climbed above my head, and I knew noon had arrived. Mo'er said that there were still some things to buy, so she went to the street in the morning, I wanted to follow her, I didn't let her, I knew that she was looking for me to find a chance, let me go to see Chu Muxiu.
I was frustrated and struggling in my heart, I felt that I was a contradiction, I wanted to go but didn't dare to go, I wanted to see but didn't dare to see, I wanted to love but didn't dare to love.
The Buddha said that if you don't want to, don't think, let go, and be at ease, only by completely ending the past can you completely abandon the red dust. In the end, I tried to convince myself that I would see him one last time, look at him one last time, and say one last word to him, and we would make a final conclusion.
In the past, the lively drunken fairy house was particularly deserted today, and when I walked in, there was no one except the store and Xiao Er, and the store came to me and asked, "Does Miss have an appointment?" ”
I was a little surprised: "No, just to meet someone." ”
"See people, that's right." After speaking, he turned around and pointed upstairs and said to me, "Someone in the Drunken Immortal Residence has been chartered today, and that person is in the third room on the east side of the second floor." ”
I thanked the shopkeeper and went upstairs, and no one knew how brave I had to be to step up the stairs. When I walked to the third room, I saw Chu Muxiu sitting inside, and then I looked sideways and saw that it was actually the queen mother sitting opposite. I don't know why I suddenly panicked and hid behind the door, I couldn't hear what they were saying across a wall, but I faintly heard what the queen was saying, in fact, it was the queen who was talking all the time, Chu Muxiu was stunned and didn't say a word, just kept drinking tea.
I felt like an outsider, an outsider who didn't fit in. In fact, the last time I saw the two of them in the Drunken Immortal Residence, I should have recognized the reality, no matter how much we wanted to be together, no matter how much we paid for each other, we couldn't be together, because there were too many grievances and lives between us.
As if I had lost my soul, I went up and came down after a while, and the shopkeeper came to me in a hurry and asked, "Didn't the girl find anyone waiting for you?" ”
I walked towards the door and said, "He didn't wait for me to ......"
I didn't actually leave, just standing at the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence. Later, I saw the queen mother coming out of the drunken immortal house, I hurriedly hid on the wall next to me, and the queen mother got into the carriage, but I didn't see Chu Muxiu.
The queen was gone, and I simply leaned against the wall for an afternoon. I don t know what I'm looking forward to, what I'm waiting for, Xiao Er added tea again and again, and changed the incense again and again, Chu Muxiu took a sip of tea and looked up at the door, thinking who I would follow and walk in.
I craned my neck, my face full of sorrow, and the despair in my heart came naturally. Later, the sun went down and I watched the whole sunset, which was the first and maybe the last sunset I saw after I would go to Huancheng. Then it was dark, and I was still waiting on the wall, and he didn't come out, and I was always a little worried when I didn't see him come out. I was as tormented as he was, and I waited as long as he waited.
It wasn't until later that Xiao Er came over with a towel and told Chu Muxiu: "Childe, our store is closed!" ”
Chu Muxiu looked up at the window suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized, "It turns out that it's dark." Then he said to Xiao Er, "Can you give me another quarter of an hour, just a quarter of an hour!" ”
Xiao Er pursed his lips: "Then, okay!" ”
It was already dark, and I didn't expect him to wait for me that long, in fact, if I hadn't seen the queen inside during the day, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to step through that door, I just found a reason to shirk it.
Chu Muxiu gave money to the shopkeeper, and it wasn't until the night began to be a little late that he came out of the Drunken Immortal Residence. There was always a hint of anticipation in his heart when he entered, but as time passed, that anticipation gradually wore out, and when he came out, he kept looking around, seeing that no one had turned to leave. He stumbled a little along the way, people would get drunk when they drank, but he drank more than a dozen cups of tea and actually got himself drunk.
I saw that he had been gone for a long, long time before he dared to come out, for fear that he would see me. When I walked out, I happened to meet the second child of the Drunken Immortal Residence who was closing and coming home, and when he saw me, he asked, "The girl hasn't left for so long?" ”
Maybe I've been squatting for too long, my legs are a little numb, and while rubbing my legs, I said, "Oh, I forgot to take something back, come and get it!" ”
"Don't say it, fortunately, you walked fast, today our store was chartered by a son, saying that he was waiting for someone, but that person didn't appreciate his face, that son didn't come after waiting for a day, that son drank dozens of cups of tea before, and changed it to wine near dusk, and drank more than a dozen cups, do you think this person is strange?"
"It's weird."
"But that man is generous, waiting for a quarter of an hour is a few dozen taels of silver, and my shopkeeper has also made a lot of benefits today!"
Xiao Er kept saying that I kept listening, and when I walked to the entrance of Dongjie Alley, I heard someone shouting, "Someone fell into the water, and a son got drunk and fell into the water......"
I was shocked, could it be Chu Muxiu?
