69 Old Dreams
In the middle of the night, it began to rain, and it was beating on the bamboo forest outside the house, and the rustling sound was endless.
But in my memory, in the early winter of that year, the sound of fine snow like salt was sprinkled lightly, and it was in one place.
With a "bang", the wine jar fell to the ground, and the sound of cracking tore the rustling peace.
"Get the stuff out!" The man drank the wine, his whole body was full of wine, his eyes were red, and when he came into the house, he first smashed the wine jar, rushed over, and then grabbed her, and with the other hand, he took her into his arms.
She was frightened, dodging as she exclaimed, "What are you doing? What is it? Are you drunk, or are you crazy? He had always been a good drinker, and he had excellent self-control, and she had never seen him drunk in three years of marriage. Even when they got married, he was drowsed to lie on the slump like a puddle of mud, and he had never been so drunk as he was at this time.
"I'm crazy. So, Pei Jinzhen, you'd better not challenge my patience again and hand over the things obediently, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will do anything in a while. His eyes, like those of a wolf, kept her firmly on her as a prey ready to be torn apart.
She couldn't help but shrink, people outside said that he was iron-blooded and killed people without blinking, but the man she had seen was just cold-faced, just silent, but he had never shown such a terrible side in front of her. At this moment, she finally connected the man in front of her with the ruthless Marquis of Jing'an, who was rumored in the outside world. But "What do you want me to take?" If you don't make it clear, how do I know? ”
"What else could there be? Naturally, it is a token of love that allows you to see things and think about people every day. You wouldn't know? He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smile did not enter the bottom of his cold eyes, and the contrast made his gaze even cooler, "The day before yesterday, at the palace banquet, what did you and Xiao Qi say in the pavilion?" I see that your eyes are full of tears, aren't you complaining to him? ”
"Smack!" With a bang, she finally couldn't help it and slapped him.
The crisp slap made the room silent, and the two looked at each other and looked at each other without saying a word.
Her face turned slightly white and her lips trembled, "Yan Chong, don't talk nonsense!" I have not been unto thee, but the king has saved me, and I have been gracious."
"Really?" He pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, took a step forward, and finally felt a touch of warmth from the placket of her clothes when she was stunned.
"Give it back!" She hurriedly reached out to grab it.
But where was his opponent, he held the jade pendant, and with a sideway step, he avoided her. It's just that when he looked at the jade pendant, his gaze was slightly stagnant, and his face was strange for a moment.
"Yan Chong! Give me back the jade pendant! She persevered, and stepped forward to grab it again.
No accident, it was avoided by Yan Chong again. And this time, he even simply put the jade pendant into the placket of his clothes, and then he looked up at her, his eyes were a little obscure between the lights and the lights were dim, and he couldn't see it really.
"Pei Jinzhen! I warn you, for the first time, and for the last time. I don't care what you had with Xiao Qi in the past, but when you marry me, you must always remember your identity. You are Mrs. Jing'anhou, so you have to be careful about women's ways, don't do something out of the ordinary, embarrass yourself, embarrass me, and make Jing'anhou lose face. When the words fell, he stopped looking at her, and walked past her and went out.
The door was opened by him vigorously, and the north wind was tight, and the snowflakes that had risen at some point poured in, and also filled the sleeves of his coat, and danced in the night.
And she finally couldn't hold back anymore, and when she turned around, she roared at his back, "Yan Chong! What are you when I am? Is it really faceless and skinless, cheap to the bones? ”
Yan Chong didn't look back, but, at the extreme tuyere, he stood stiff for a moment, and then strode into the snowy night without looking back.
Pei Jinzhen's tears finally slipped down from the corners of his eyes, meandered down, and flowed into the corners of his mouth, cold and lightly salty......
Suddenly, Pei Jinzhen woke up from his dream.
She stared at the top of the tent with a straight gaze, a little unsure whether she was in a dream or reality.
Shivering, as if she was really in the cold of a snowy night, she wrapped the quilt tightly, listening to the rustle of the night rain washing bamboo outside the window, and then she woke up in a trance.
Because of the frightening glimpse in the daytime, she had been tossing and turning last night, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Xu is thinking about it day and night, just now, she actually dreamed of that old thing that was definitely not beautiful.
That jade pendant, she not only saw it, but also hid it close to her body for several years, that snowy night, was taken away by Yan Chong, and after that, she never returned it.
After that night, their relationship, which had been regarded as respectful to each other, deteriorated dramatically, and it was not long before the Di people disturbed the border, and he led his troops out into battle.
When they came back, it was more than a year later, and their relationship had almost become a stranger due to their earlier estrangement and the barrier of time.
And that jade pendant, when it returned to her hand, was already after Yan Chong's death. The jade pendant was still stained with his blood, and it was the only time she gave him a tie when they were newly married.
She thought a lot about it at the time, what was the reason why Yan Chong wore this jade pendant every day, and explained Luo Lin's intention to return it to her when she was dying. Unfortunately, even when she died, she didn't figure it out.
But no matter which one it is, that jade pendant should not appear on Yan Chong's body at this time.
Something must have gone wrong.
Or...... During the day, she just blinked for a moment, and maybe she was wrong.
Speaking of dazzling, she felt that her eyes were a little blurry, and when she raised her hand, her hands were wet, no wonder...... Tasting the salty taste of tears in a dream would be so real......
"Girl, there's a letter from the British government." After waking up from the dream, Pei Jinzhen never fell asleep again, and when she sat in front of the dressing table and was dressed by the frost resistors, she had no energy, until she heard Mama Yuan's words, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Reaching out to take the letter, he quickly opened it and read it, the corners of his mouth curled.
"Great, my grandmother has already set a date. The day after tomorrow...... It just so happened that it was time for me to take a break. ”
"The old lady wants to see her granddaughter, so she naturally has to count her days carefully." Mama Yuan said with a smile on the side.
Pei Jinzhen also smiled, raised his finger and pointed to the half-coiled bun on the top of his head, "Okay, hurry up and get it for me, let's go to Chunhui Courtyard to see my grandmother." ”
When she went to Chunhui Courtyard and told Mrs. Pei about the matter, she was naturally very happy, and as soon as she was in a good mood, she rewarded Pei Jinzhen with a box of jewelry.
Although Pei Jinzhen is not short of these, he really feels that it is very good to get along with his grandmother like this now.
Mama Yuan was also happy to see that the girl was no longer as wilted as she was from yesterday to this morning.
In the next two days, everything was as usual in the Bowen Pavilion, but he never met Yan Chong's enemy again.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to rest, and it was also the day to make an appointment with Mrs. Ge and go to the Daxiangguo Temple outside the city to worship the Buddha.
