Chapter 50: A Competent Man (3rd Watch)
The remnants of the courtyard have not yet been cleaned up, and Qingfeng is already dressed in plain clothes and kneeling in front of Jiang Xinyao.
"Ask the fourth lady to persuade my young lady, since the seventh master was buried, the young lady has not eaten or drunk, and locked herself in the room. Slaves...... The slave couldn't bear to look at the young lady, she ......"
Jiang Xinyao looked at this loyal servant who had lost weight in just a few days, and her eyes darkened.
If she remembers correctly, Qingfeng has been by the side of the second sister for more than ten years. She followed the second sister to the Sun family, escaped from the Sun family again, and now she is the steward of the second sister's house, this master-servant friendship is only a lot more than her as a sister.
She sighed and said, "Qingfeng, I don't have the ability to untie your young lady's knot, whether she can come out or not depends on herself." ”
Qingfeng said with red eyes: "If the fourth miss can't be persuaded by it, then the young lady is only afraid that she will be ...... in her life Fourth Miss, the slave maid is a maid, and what she says has no weight, the slave and maid just look at her brother so young, without a father, if she doesn't even have a mother...... Fourth Miss, you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, for the sake of the child, go and persuade the fourth lady for the slave. ”
"Grandma, poor child...... Let's ......take a look," Mother Li whispered in Xin Yao's ear.
Jiang Xinyao's fierce gaze swept over gently, and Mother Li was so frightened that she was silent.
"What do you want me to persuade her?"
The breeze was stunned for a while, and then said: "The slave just wants the young lady to hold on no matter what, even if it is for the sake of the little master." ”
"Light breeze, you go. It's useless for your young lady to persuade anyone. Jiang Xinyao glanced at Li's mother.
Mother Li wanted to step forward to help the breeze, but saw the breeze crawling two steps and falling at the feet of the grandmother. Kowtowed repeatedly, but after a few strokes, blood oozed from his forehead.
Jiang Xinyao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Qingfeng, what are you doing here?" ”
Qingfeng raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face: "Fourth Miss, that day was in chaos. It was I who pushed the Seventh Master. ”
"What?"
Jiang Xinyao exclaimed.
Qingfeng couldn't cry and said: "At that time, the scene was chaotic, I saw the young lady holding the little master, and the knife was only half an inch long from them. But the seventh master stood still, I was far away, I couldn't reach it, and the seventh master was close. I'm in a hurry. took advantage of the chaos to push him. I'm a murderer, Miss Four, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me...... How could the Seventh Master die. Fourth Miss, I was wrong, I was a murderer, I killed Miss, and I also killed Seventh Master. I'm a murderer. ”
After finishing the secret hidden in his heart in a light breeze, he paused on the ground. A long sigh of relief.
Jiang Xinyao and Li's mother didn't expect that the truth about Sun Jingyao sacrificing his life to save people was actually ...... The master and servant looked at each other in shock.
After a long time, Mother Li sighed: "In this way, if it weren't for your push, the people who died would be our second lady and the little master." ”
"I don't know, I don't know."
Qingfeng shook his head again and again: "I didn't know that crazy woman would be so ruthless, I didn't know that the seventh master blocked so many knives for Miss." I wanted to bury this secret in my heart for the rest of my life, but when I slept at night, I always dreamed that the seventh master was standing at the head of my bed with blood, and I ...... Wow! ”
The mental pressure of the past few days finally made the breeze unbearable, and he cried bitterly.
Jiang Xinyao walked up to her, stretched out her hand to hug her, and said softly: "Good girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Tell me, why are you telling this? ”
Qingfeng raised his teary eyes, and without thinking about it, he said: "Fourth Miss, I don't know why I said it, but if I put it in my heart, I will hate me for the rest of my life." Fourth Miss, as long as Miss is willing to live, I would rather pay for the life of the Seventh Master. ”
"Silly girl, you didn't kill people, what do you pay for your life?" Jiang Xinyao hugged the thin girl in her arms with pity and sighed.
"However, the seventh master is because I ......"
"Qingfeng, if you tell me the secret today, do you want me to persuade your young lady and tell her that Sun Jingyao is not worthy of her not eating or drinking and ruining her body?"
"Hmm!"
Light Breeze nodded desperately.
"What a silly girl!"
Jiang Xinyao sighed lightly: "Your young lady is also a loss to have you." ”
"However, I did something sorry for Miss, I know that Miss would rather die by herself than let the Seventh Master live."
Tears flowed in the breeze.
……
On an autumn afternoon, the sun is shining.
Jiang Xinyao lifted the curtain, only to feel that it was dark in front of her.
A musty smell came to her nose, mixed with the smell of decay, which almost made her sick.
Jiang Xinyao said in a loud voice: "Come on, open all the windows of this room for me." ”
Mother Li hurriedly stepped forward and quickly pushed open the window. The room lit up instantly, and a smell of Qingfeng with the smell of sunlight blew in, and Jiang Xinyao let out a sigh of relief.
The man curled up in the corner of the bed shrank his eyes and trembled slightly.
Jiang Xinyao didn't look at her, sat down by herself, and said leisurely: "Mother Li, go, let the breeze make a pot of tea." ”
When the tea arrives, there is a slight astringency.
Jiang Xinyao tasted it slowly and said no more words. Just look at the woman in front of you.
Unkempt hair, puffy and unfocused eyes, high cheekbones, pale face, and bloodless lips. Three points like a person, seven points like a ghost.
Jiang Xinyao looked very slowly, her eyes moved away slightly, and she seemed to engrave the appearance of the woman in front of her in her heart.
After a long time, Jiang Xinyu finally couldn't help it, and said in a dumb voice: "What is the fourth sister looking at?" ”
Jiang Xinyao smiled faintly.
"I'm looking at you. Second sister. ”
"See what I'm doing?"
"Look at you, are you dead?"
"You ......"
Jiang Xinyu raised her head violently, and a trace of anger quietly flashed in her dead eyes. Calm returned in an instant. It's like an ancient well, falling into a grain of fine sand, after all, it is not alarmed. All that remains is grief and pain.
"My sister saw it, she can go."
Although Jiang Xinyao was shocked by the dead silence in her eyes, she still smiled lightly: "I didn't want to come in the first place, take a break." Let's go. ”
Jiang Xinyu raised her eyes silently, and lowered her head silently.
Jiang Xinyao was not in a hurry, and took a sip of this slightly bitter tea. Just look at it with your eyes.
After the tea, he got up, didn't look at it again, and wanted to leave.
"Sister."
Jiang Xinyao didn't know when, looked at her, and said softly, "Didn't you come to persuade me?" ”
"Persuade you?"
Jiang Xinyao paused.
"Why persuade? What is the use of persuading people who want to die? People who want to live. Don't be persuaded. ”
"That'...... What are you here to do? ”
Jiang Xinyao laughed at herself: "Sister is so forgetful, I said it a long time ago, I just came to see you...... Dead no. ”
Jiang Xinyu's face was filled with anger.
"Original. You all want me to die. That's right, the one who died should be me, why wasn't I the one who died? "I can't shed a single tear in my eyes, and I've long since dried up. Such as barren to parched land.
"You want to die so much?"
Jiang Xinyao sneered.
"Mother Lee. Go to the kitchen and get a knife and hand it to her. ”
"Jiang Xinyao, do you think I don't dare to die?"
Jiang Xinyu was completely enraged and jumped from the corner of the bed with a roar.
Mother Li was startled and hurriedly blocked in front of Xin Yao.
Jiang Xinyao pushed her away, raised her hand, and slapped Jiang Xinyu's face.
The sound of light crunch in the empty room seemed abrupt.
"To die. Carry your two-year-old child to die together, and don't leave him alone in this world. Jiang Xinyao said angrily.
Jiang Xinyu covered her face. looked at the fourth sister blankly.
It's really strange, the fourth sister slapped her, she didn't shed tears, the fourth sister shed tears.
Jiang Xinyao turned her face away, and said with a certain sentence: "Jiang Xinyu, in fact, I wanted to hit this slap for a long time." I've always regretted that if I had slapped this earlier, it wouldn't have been the situation I am in. I was even wondering, did I do something wrong when I rescued you from the Sun family? ”
"Four Sisters......
"Jiang Xinyu, I know he took your heart away, but you are still alive, and your son is still alive. I don't want to persuade you to do anything, I just want you to come out of this room and go and see your son, see his smiling face, and listen to his laughter. ”
Despite the wide open window, Jiang Xinyao still felt that the room was suffocating. She looked at Jiang Xinyu fixedly for a long time, but finally didn't say what was in her heart, and threw her sleeves away.
The man is dead, so why bother if he is willing to come forward, or forced to drive the duck to the shelf.
This intolerable emotion is precious to the second sister, so why let her heart, which has been full of holes, be hurt by the cruel truth again.
……
Jiang Xinyao strode out of the house, she didn't even want to follow the woman's graceful manners.
The breeze greeted me with trepidation.
Jiang Xinyao shook her head gently.
"Your young lady, it takes time. Just look at her. Whether she can cross this hurdle depends only on herself. ”
"Fourth Miss, did you tell Miss that it was me ......?"
"Breeze!"
Jiang Xinyao interrupted coldly.
"This thing goes from your mouth to my ears, and I will stop there, and never speak of it again, and no one will mention it again. And the last scene of your seventh master left in the eyes of others is still a competent man! ”
Light breeze burst into tears, knelt down regardless of it, and sobbed, "Thank you, Miss Four." ”
……
In the carriage, Mother Li swept her slightly gloomy face with her eyes from time to time.
Jiang Xinyao saw that she looked like she wanted to say it, but she didn't dare to say it, so she couldn't help but slow down her face and said, "Mom, not everything in this world can be carefully pondered and scrutinized. Some things, confused, do not hurt people. ”
Li's mother hurriedly said: "That's what I mean, too." I'm afraid that my grandmother will be angry and hurt her body. ”
Jiang Xinyao leaned her head on Li's mother's shoulder and said, "When I entered that house and saw her, I was really angry in my heart, and as soon as I got out of the house, for some reason, this anger was gone." Or the old lady said it well, people live a lifetime, those who are happy are geometric, life is their own life, good and bad are their own. I'm tired now, and I can't manage so many people and so many things, so I can live my life well, and I am serious. ”
Mother Li stroked Xin Yao's slightly fluffy hair and said in a harmonious voice: "Grandma's words, my mother doesn't believe it at all." Whoever turns around and asks for the door, the grandmother has to take care of it. ”
Jiang Xinyao knew that Mother Li said about mentioning the Shen family and Jiang Xinqiong, so she smiled and said, "Alas, I don't know who said it, I can't write two Jiang characters in one stroke?" (To be continued.) )
ps: For the role of Jiang Xinyu, I have long wanted to say something, and I have left it until now, just to let book friends see the truth of the whole thing.
For this woman who regards love as everything, there is only one sentence to describe: angry and unhappy! It's luck and it's unfortunate.
In the matter of love, it is often women who let it go; It's always men who cower. Therefore, the ancestor left a sentence: an infatuated woman is a negative man.
Jiang Er's tragedy, a sentence from a book friend left a deep impression on Baozi. She said it was because she had transgressed social norms.
However, Baozi couldn't help but think deeply, whose social norm is this social norm?
Books such as "The Legend of the Martyr", "Female Commandments", and "Women's Rules" often appear in the book that requires women to be standardized.
What about men?
It was the norm for the ancients to have three wives and four concubines. Today's people? Buns are not evaluated.
Jiang Er's mistake is that he thinks too highly of love words and puts himself too low. Women, once you enter the door of love, you can't tell the difference between right and wrong.
This sentence is deeper, and it is estimated that Baozi can write 50,000 words.
That's it, that's it, a spare book, talk about comforting Qingqing's heart.
Book lovers are waiting to see it! (..)
