Chapter 40: The Story of Li Jiancheng and Duan Jingya
Li Jiancheng and I sat in the gazebo. When I asked Xiaofu to get the wine again, I was stopped by Li Jiancheng.
Thin lips twitched: "Don't you want to hear stories?" ”
I put down my wine glass, and after two pots of osmanthus stuffed into my stomach, I was a little drunk. I lay on the desk, holding my head with one hand, and looked at Li Jiancheng. He smiled, I was slightly stunned, I like to see him smile, two dimples, especially beautiful.
He turned his head to look at the fish pond in front of him, and said slightly: "The first time I saw your sister was a night four years ago, when it was the spring of March, I went to Yingzhou to discuss things with your father, and stayed at your house for a few days, and one night I couldn't sleep and went to your garden for a walk, and I heard a piano sound. ”
Seeing him fall into memory, I quipped, "You were attracted to the sound of the piano?" ”
He was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at me and shook his head with a smile and said, "The sound of the piano is intermittent, as if a beginner." ”
I frowned slightly, he looked at the pool again, and I also turned my head to look at the pool, and the breeze was blowing, and a dead leaf from nowhere fell on the water, lighting up a circle of water waves.
I pursed my mouth, turned my head and continued to look at his side face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, the whole thing was like a fairy in a painting, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Jiancheng suddenly turned around and looked at me, his eyes were very similar to those of the rotten egg, but the eyes of the rotten egg were clearer, and there was a touch of sexiness in his eyes, and he had seen through the vicissitudes of the world.
I couldn't help but lower my head, my eyes were a little moist, I reached out to get the wine glass in front of me, but just touched the wine glass but was snatched away by a white jade hand.
I looked up at Li Jiancheng suddenly, and Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said, "You can't drink anymore." ”
I smiled wryly and said, "Okay, then you can go on!" What happened? ”
Only then did he let go of his brows, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said with a slight smile: "I followed the sound of the piano, I didn't expect to meet Lan'er, she was standing under the peach tree in the garden, the peach blossoms were blooming, she was holding the guqin under the tree, I can't forget that scene in my life, and I can't take my eyes off it at that moment." I didn't dare to get closer, and I was reluctant to leave, so I hid in the distance and watched her leave quietly. But I didn't know that your father heard from He that I was happy with Lan'er, and told my father that he was going to marry her to me, and I was very happy. I've never been happier again, but all of this..."
Just for the sake of one side, I asked Sister A to marry someone she had never met, and I was a little indignant: "Then did you know at that time that she already had a heart?" ”
Li Jiancheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If I knew, I wouldn't have agreed to this family affair, and I wouldn't have let her hate me so much later." I'd rather be a close friend with her than I am now. I found out later, and that person turned out to be someone I regarded as a brother. But I didn't expect it to get to the point where it would be. ”
I was even more puzzled: "You sent him to the battlefield later?" ”
When he heard my question, he turned his head, looked at me and said seriously, "I said no, will you believe it?" ”
I was stunned, he smiled, and sarcastically said: "How could I send him to the battlefield, it was he himself who begged me to send him, he has been with me for ten years, how can I let him go!" ”
I frowned and said, "Then why didn't you tell Sister?" ”
Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "What's the use of saying it, after all, I killed her beloved." ”
I should have thought of it, it's Duan Yanshi! It was he who made trouble behind his back, and let his daughter marry into the Li Mansion at all costs for his rights.
My head was a little dizzy, I lay on the table and looked at Li Jiancheng, and gradually closed my eyes.
In a daze, I heard a very gentle voice: "Silly girl..."
…
When I woke up again, it was already evening, Duan Zhixuan had also returned, and even Duan Jingya had come. They all know what happened in the house today.
I got up and asked, "How did I get back?" ”
While combing my hair, Xiaofu said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought you back, and His Royal Highness also instructed us not to disturb Miss, and... You will never be allowed to drink so much again. ”
When I arrived at the dining room, Duan Jingya and Duan Zhixuan were already waiting, seeing me come in, Duan Zhixuan frowned slightly, Duan Jingya got up and walked to me, her eyes were red and swollen, it seemed that she had cried.
I bowed and said, "Brother, sister." ”
Duan Jingya pulled my hand and said, "Yue'er, this is fate, after all, you and..." she didn't finish speaking, and saw me pursing my lips tightly and my eyes red, so she didn't say any more.
I took a deep breath and said, "Sister knows everything." It's okay, it'll be fine in a while. ”
Duan Jingya wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, it was really mocking, I didn't cry, why did she cry? I'm afraid I don't think about myself! Yes! They are all persecuted by this era, and they should empathize. But what is better for me than Duan Jingya is that I was not forced to marry someone I didn't love.
Duan Zhixuan interrupted us and said, "Okay, Lan'er, you let Yue'er come over to eat first." ”
I really didn't have much appetite, so I drank a few sips of the porridge that Duan Zhixuan cooked for me.
Duan Zhixuan frowned from the beginning, and when he saw me put down his chopsticks, he said: "Yue'er, it's okay for you to go to Lan'er's Mansion for two days in the past two days, and after I take care of the affairs in the camp, I'll take you out for a walk, okay?" ”
I looked at Duan Zhixuan and then at Duan Jingya, are they worried that I will do something stupid? I laughed at myself in my heart, forget it, they are also kind.
I nodded and said, "It's okay, brother, you're busy with yours!" Business is important, don't worry if I'm fine. ”
He nodded, and I got up and said, "Then I'll go and tidy up, and I'll go back with Sister Ah later." ”
After seeing him nod in agreement, I turned around and went back to my room.
and Duan Jingya returned to the Li Mansion, Mrs. Li was teasing the little guy, I looked at the cute little person, this child, I don't know how long I can live, I can't help but sigh: "Poor born in the emperor's family." ”
Duan Jingya walked in with a smile, no one heard what I said, I straightened my emotions, and walked in with it, and sat down after greeting the old lady.
The old lady handed over the child to the nurse, looked at me, and said earnestly: "Child, I have wronged you." You and Yuanji are both good boys, and I really like you, but unfortunately, you have no fate. ”
My heart tightened, but I smiled on my face and said: "Old lady, thank you for your kindness, I know that now that the Tang Dynasty has been decided, Your Majesty must be like this in order to be safe inside and outside." Just like the old lady said, I have no fate with the third son. ”
Mrs. Li looked at me and nodded appreciatively. Then I comforted a few more words, and then went back to the room to rest, and I also said goodbye to Duan Jingya and went back to the room by myself.
I stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky overhead, thinking about myself in my twenties after a thousand years, I had never even talked about love, and now I have experienced the taste of falling out of love, and it is worth it.
"Yue'er, haven't you slept yet?"
Ah oh turned his head to look at the source of the sound, only to see Duan Jingya walking slowly, took my hand and walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down Xiao Rong Xiaofu poured a cup of hot tea for us, and then after serving some fruit, Duan Jingya raised her hand and asked them all to retreat.
There were only two people left in the whole courtyard, me and her, I looked at Duan Jingya, she was not a few years older than me, not as old as me after a thousand years to be exact. But it's much more stable than me, and sometimes I really should learn from her.
Duan Jingya looked at me and said, "Are you still uncomfortable?" Yue'er, listen to me, maybe it's better not to marry into the royal family, my father used to value the power of the Li family, so he married me into the Li family. ”
That night, I talked a lot with her, and tried to ask some things about her and Li Jiancheng and the chivalrous man, and that night, I never thought it would be the last time I talked to her.
