CHAPTER XLV
When the sun set in the western mountain, Chu Liang got up, and the mountain smoke came in to see that Chu Liang was getting ready, so he waited for her to get dressed.
Shanyan said: "Miss, you have to change this habit, and the subordinates say behind your back that you and Your Highness are ...... by day" The last two words Shanyan can't say.
Chu Liang didn't understand, she yawned and said, "What do they say about me." Shanyan thought about it and still didn't say anything, Chu Liang said: "You don't have to pay attention to them, I'll find a chance to talk to Xie Shaoqing later." ”
Shanyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, you don't need to say it, more is better than less." ”
Chu Liang let out a 'hmm'.
When Xie Shaoqing came in, Chu Liang had already combed his hair. Xie Shaoqing said: "Tomorrow the Duke of Ruyang will come over. ”
Chu Liang asked, "Is Ruyang your own sister?" ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "No, her mother died when she was three years old, so she grew up with my mother and me. ”
Chu Liang asked, "Is there anyone else?" ”
Xie Shaoqing replied: "No." ”
Chu Liang and Xie Shaoqing went out together, sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, a pot of tea was placed on the stone table, and Xie Shaoqing poured a cup of tea for Chu Liang.
Chu Liang said: "Do you have a lot of brothers and sisters? After my mother died, my father didn't renew the strings. I don't have any siblings, and although I have a cousin, we don't live together. ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Although I have many brothers and sisters, they each have their own thoughts, and there are not many things that get together. ”
Chu Li didn't believe Xie Shaoqing's words: "You are so good at speaking, and Ruyang is often with you, how can you not get along much?" ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Believe it or not, your father didn't renew the strings, he loves your mother very much." ”
Chu Liang propped his head and said, "Probably, my father rarely mentions my mother in front of me, and I don't even know what kind of person my mother is." ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Maybe I'm afraid that I will feel sad when I mention it, so I hide it in my heart." ”
Chu Liang didn't answer, but said: "I have a portrait of my mother, I will show it to you later, they all say that my mother is a beauty, and my father often says that I don't look like my mother at all." ”
Xie Shaoqing smiled: "How can there be, you are very beautiful." ”
Although Chu Li didn't quite believe what Xie Shaoqing said, she still sounded very useful to this sentence.
Xie Shaoqing said: "Ruyang and Chen Guan have a marriage contract, you know. ”
Chu Liang let out an 'ah' and said, "They? There is a marriage contract. ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Why don't you know anything. ”
Chu Liang was very aggrieved and said: "No one told me, how do I know." ”
Xie Shaoqing sighed: "My sister really doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, it's useless for others to persuade her if she recognizes the truth." ”
Chu Liang said: "Ruyang is quite similar to a friend of mine, her name is Jiang Yingyue, you have seen it." ”
Chu Liang told Xie Shaoqing about Jiang Yingyue's life experience, and Xie Shaoqing sighed with emotion after hearing it: "It's really a hard life." ”
Chu Liang said: "I have never heard Sister Jiang complain. ”
It was getting dark, and the stone bench was a little cold, Xie Shaoqing said, "Don't talk about it, let's eat." Xie Shaoqing took Chu Li's hand and walked to the main room, Chu Liang struggled a few times, and Xie Shaoqing still held her hand.
After eating, Chu Liang went to bathe first, and she dressed neatly before coming out. Xie Shaoqing couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her dressed so neatly, but Chu Li was still a little defensive of him.
After Xie Shaoqing finished washing, Chu Liang was looking for something in the box under the lamp, Xie Shaoqing came over and said, "What are you looking for?" ”
Chu Liang searched for a long time, and took out a painting from the box, the paper was a little yellowed, and he had been looking at it for some years.
She put the painting on the table, opened it and said to Xie Shaoqing: "This is the portrait of my mother, my father and I have one by one, for so many years, I moved here and there, and the painting has not been preserved." ”
The painting depicts a woman standing under a peach blossom, with only a side face that cannot be seen clearly. Xie Shaoqing said: "Your mother is so beautiful." ”
Chu Liang said: "When I was in Changshan, my neighbors said that I looked like my father, so I looked average. ”
Xie Shaoqing laughed after hearing this: "Your neighbor is really tactful." ”
Chu Liang patted Xie Shaoqing's arm and said, "I look average, you didn't marry me, it's too late to regret it now." ”
Xie Shaoqing put away his smile and said: "The lady is really worried, I'm afraid that you will regret it as a husband." ”
Chu Liang carefully rolled up the painting and said, "Another day, I have to ask someone to frame the painting, this painting is too old to look good." ”
Both of them slept all afternoon and are not sleepy now. The two sat under the lamp and chatted, and Xie Shaoqing asked, "Do you have any wishes?" ”
Chu Liang said: "I don't have any big wishes, I want the people around me to be carefree, happy and healthy." My father lived a long life, what about you? ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "I haven't thought about it yet, I have a lot of wishes, I am a greedy person, my biggest wish is to be an ordinary person, travel all over the mountains and rivers, and go wherever I want." ”
Chu Liang said: "You are really a greedy person, I don't know how many people envy you outside, you have no worries about food and clothing when you are born, you don't have to worry about trivial things, just like that, you are not satisfied, when you are an ordinary person, you have to run for a living, how can you have time to travel in the mountains and rivers." ”
Xie Shaoqing laughed a few times self-deprecatingly: "In this way, I really don't know how to be blessed in the blessings, people are like this, this mountain looks at that mountain high." Therefore, there is a lot of suffering. ”
Chu Liang said: "It's not all, there are many people I know who are content and happy, don't generalize." ”
Xie Shaoqing was speechless when he said this, he said: "Probably, but I really envy you, I haven't been out of Linjiang City for so long." ”
Chu Liang said: "What is there to envy, I am tired and half dead after going out for a walk, and it is inconvenient to take a shower and change clothes." ”
The two of them were talking, and the night was getting deeper, Chu Liang stretched his waist and said, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first." ”
Xie Shaoqing blew out the light, the two had their own concerns in bed, Chu Liang fell asleep soon after, Xie Shaoqing looked at the moonlight outside the window and didn't know what he was thinking.
Princess Ruyang had almost packed up early in the morning, and she was going to Xie Shaoqing's mansion to find Xie Shaoqing. Luzhu persuaded: "Princess, is this too early, you are waiting for a while." ”
Ruyang said: "It's not early, the sun is out." ”
Lu Zhu said: "His Royal Highness the Seventh has just gotten married, maybe there are other things to be busy with, princess, you went so early, maybe His Royal Highness the Seventh is busy with other things and can't take care of the princess." ”
Ruyang thought about it, and she said, "Why don't I sit for a while, what you said I prepared, will Sister Chu Li like it?" ”
Lu Zhu said: "Princess, you carefully selected gifts, how could the Seventh Princess not like it." ”
Ruyang saw that the time was almost up, and got up and went to Xie Shaoqing's mansion. Lu Zhu took a few servants to carry the box and followed behind Ruyang.
