Chapter 4: Old Love Li Ping
Since Zao Zao was beaten, Song Ting has a lot of rules, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the swelling on Zao Zao's face has subsided.
This year's first expensive spring rain poured down in the thick cloud and overcast wind for three days, from dawn to dusk, Song Ting, who was not accompanied by TV dramas and online games, had to sleep in the house.
The heavy rain stopped, the dark clouds on the horizon were blown away by the wind, the crescent moon poked out a corner, the thin streamer was smoothly spread like silk yarn, and the water in the courtyard was empty. Zao Zao stepped on the ground and the water was shining, walked to the eaves, waved off the rainwater beads on the umbrella, put it next to the red pillar and entered the house.
"What is Miss embroidering?"
Song Ting crouched on the table, frowning slightly, staring very seriously at the thin towel that was stretched by the round frame in his hand, and picking up the needle with one hand fell and pulled up.
The rainwater accumulated on the eaves fell down the trough into silver threads, broken into beads and smashed on the banana leaves outside the window.
After Song Ting finished embroidering the last stitch, he rewarded it first, and then raised it to aim in the direction where the jujube was, "Look." ”
Zao Zao put the dyed agarwood into the gold furnace, a wisp of green smoke rose up, turned his head to stare at the pattern on the surface of the towel for a long time, and said slowly: "Miss, is that a chicken?" ”
“……”
Song Ting was silent for a long time, unhappy, "It's a mandarin duck." ”
“……”
Zao Zao laughed dryly twice, and walked up to Song Ting, "If you practice more, are you afraid that Miss Yi won't be able to find her skills back?" ”
Afraid that he really couldn't find it, Song Ting threw the towel into the bamboo pocket in frustration, picked up an apple on the table and walked to the window, looking at the lush and colorful apricot trees outside the wall of the Hou Mansion that were a little embarrassed by the heavy rain, and scattered on the bluestone ground with a lot of white flowers.
was looking out of his mind, and suddenly a miserable white slender hand suddenly appeared on the top of the wall, Song Ting exclaimed, and immediately took a few steps back, and Zao Zao stepped forward to support him: "What's wrong with Miss?" ”
"Someone!"
Zao Zao looked over from the window, a slender arm came in, hugging the top of the wall, so late someone dared to climb the wall of the Changping Marquis Mansion!
"I'll call Brother Oil."
Zao Zao immediately ran out, Song Ting took the fruit knife on the table in his hand, and walked towards the white wall, if this was in ancient times, would killing someone in this situation be considered legitimate defense or a crime?
The man looked thin from behind, and with great effort, he stepped in on one leg and prepared to hold on it for half a second, but before he could sit down, he was frightened by the four oils who ran all the way from the side room with a hand-copied stick shouting "catch the thief".
"Ouch......"
Zao Zao was very familiar when he heard this scream, and he hid behind Siyou until he was only a few steps away from the man, and then he timidly stretched out his head to take a look.
"Li Gongzi ......" Zao Zao spit out three words.
Siyou leaned over, squatted down and took a closer look at the man who couldn't get up on the ground for a long time, "Mother! It's really Li Gongzi! ”
Song Ting stood behind the two of them and nibbled on an apple, "So you know each other." With that, he lost the knife in his hand.
Zao Zao looked back at her: "Miss, have you forgotten Li Gongzi?" ”
…… Hearing this, this Li Gongzi is not an ordinary character, is it......
Li Ping was originally a delicate scholar with a weak body, and for the first time in his life, he went over the wall to explain in the Song Mansion, but he fell from such a high place, and now the sky is full of small stars, and his head is buzzing. It wasn't until I saw the blue shadow not far away that the pain all over my body was willing to throw it away.
"Ting'er!" Li Ping rushed forward, the call from the deepest part of her heart, the dashing steps full of thoughts like crossing the magpie bridge made Song Ting's body tremble, it seems that as a modern person, his intuition is still quite accurate...... instinctively wanted to raise his feet and run into the house, but he was held by those hands that were whiter than her, and the cold touch made Song Ting tremble, this man can't be a ghost, right......
"Ting'er, I heard that you came back to life at the market the day before yesterday, and I came to see you today."
Listening to him say this, dare to love these two people have met in such a mode like cheating before? It's not surprising that seeing that his clothes are frugal and simple, not like the son of a big family, Song Ting's father will definitely not allow the two to interact, after all, she knows that in ancient times, she paid attention to the right people.
Ay...... It's another pair of bitter mandarin ducks.
Although this Liu Ping is not handsome, she is barely delicate, and her shriveled body is covered with a gray and yellow shirt like a straw man inserted on the field, but her skin is sickly white. The two held hands and looked at each other for a long time, so long that they seemed to forget everything around them, only each other in their eyes, and they could only hear each other's heartbeats quietly.
Zao Zao looked at the affectionate two, and excitedly pulled the corner of Siyou's clothes: "I know that Miss will not forget Li Gongzi if she forgets anyone!" ”
But before she finished speaking, she heard her young lady looking at her beloved Li Gongzi and said, "Look at Gongzi's pale face and purple lips, but he is not full of qi and blood?"
“……”
Siyou squatted on the ground very unkindly and laughed out of tears.
Li Ping is like a dry dry branch in the wind, when he came, he thought of the first words they said when they met again, maybe it was to pour out the longing that they hadn't seen for a month, or to sigh at the helplessness of this deep relationship, but he didn't expect to say that he was lacking in qi and blood, although he was indeed deficient in qi and blood.
Zao Zao immediately ran to Song Ting's side and explained for her: "Master Li, Miss can't remember anything when she falls into the water, don't blame her." ”
When Li Ping heard this, she had amnesia, her soft heart seemed to hurt, and she held Song Ting's hand even harder, "Ting'er, I don't blame you, I will help you remember it slowly." "The eyes were covered with a shallow layer of water, shining with a sparkling light in the night.
Song Ting pulled out of Li Ping's hand and barely squeezed out a smile: "It's not too early, you can go back quickly." ”
Li Ping's hand still stopped in place, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes and reflected in Song Ting's eyes, she sighed in her heart, how can this be good, I wanted to tell him that Song Ting, who loved him, was dead, but didn't people just put their eyes and nose here without lacking anything.
Siyou opened the small door on the west side, and Song Ting sent Li Ping to the door, the beige gray shirt was still stained with the wet apricot blossoms that had just fallen on the ground, and one petal was broken.
Li Ping stood at the door, reluctant to say goodbye to Song Ting.
Song Yuyan came to Juhongyuan with the fabric to make new clothes in the summer this year, Liu had already slept, Song Yuxin leaned on the couch in the front hall, and Cuicui peeled melons for her on the side.
Seeing that the person who came was Song Yuyan, Song Ting moved lazily, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm not going to make new clothes soon, I'll bring a few pieces of good material for the eldest sister to pick out." Song Yuyan sat down with a smile on his face and put the tray on the table, "These are all new styles in Cheng'an, eldest sister, see which satin you like?" ”
Song Yuxin casually glanced at the material next to him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a mockery: "These trivial things should have been greeted by Ju Hongyuan, but now they are also troublesome to the second aunt and sister." ”
Song Yuyan's body was silent and he didn't dare to speak again.
Su Hand rummaged over and over a few pieces of satin and picked it out a few times, but he didn't find the right one, but fortunately he impatiently pushed the tray back to Song Yuyan's hand: "That's it, I didn't look at it, I made a few more pieces in previous years, and I won't do it this year." ”
Song Yuyan had no choice but to echo with an embarrassed smile: "Then another day, if there is any more beautiful fabric, I will use it for the eldest sister to choose." ”
Song Yuxin hummed casually, took the melon slices handed over by Cuicui and ate them.
"By the way, eldest sister, I passed by Lan Tingyuan on the way to come earlier, guess what you saw?" Song Yu said.
"What?"
"That poor scholar came to Song Ting again."
Song Yuxin was surprised: "Really? ”
"Xiaocha and I can see it clearly." Song Yuyan's nails wrapped around the slippery fabric, and glanced at Xiao Cha, who immediately nodded a few times: "Yes, Miss, the two of them don't look serious in the courtyard." ”
Song Yuxin listened to the words of the two, and the essence of light flashed in his eyes.
"This poor scholar is really infatuated, and abandoned women are still like treasures."
————
At night, Song Ting had no intention of sleeping, thinking about the infatuated Li Gongzi over and over again, now that she occupies this body, she is no longer the former Song Ting, she doesn't want to and can't always keep Li Ping's longing for her, not to mention that this relationship is fruitless after all, why bother to be entangled here.
On the second day, Song Ting asked Zao Zao to find out what Li Gongzi had sent, two portraits of her and the jade hairpin on top of her head.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Song Ting took out the magnolia hairpin carved with jade from his hair, put it back in the brocade box, and then picked out individual patterns and inserted them at will. Zao Zao brought the two portraits, which had been covered with a layer of fine and dense light gray, both of which were witnesses of the passage of time.
"Miss, what are you going to do?" Zao Zao watched Song Ting wipe the dust on the painting with a towel and said nothing.
"Give it back."
"Why, Miss!" Zao Zao immediately stopped Song Ting's movements, and looked sad: "Miss, do you know how hard you two love each other this way!" ”
"It's because of the hard work, so it's better to cut him in two while I forget him."
"But...... Miss, you'll regret it when you think about it! ”
Song Ting raised his eyes, a pair of eyes looked at the bottom of Zaozao's heart, Zaozao's heart trembled slightly, and he saw Zhu's lips lightly opened.
"I'll never remember."
"Miss......"
Cheng'an capital, Xuanwu Zhuque two roads are rubbed together, divided into four, sixty-three streets, more than one hundred and ten squares. The four sea roads, the eight directions of the business veins, the northwest and southwest of the state merchants are all here to buy and sell.
Song Ting and Zao Zao went out of the house together, and Zao Zao was entrusted by her to go to the Li Mansion to deliver a message, and the two met in Yaoxiang Building on Zhuque Street.
The city is full of pearls, the household is full of Luoqi, the capital has been prosperous since ancient times, the big festival alleys are full of people, the shallow grass is green and covers the ten-mile causeway, the smoke willow painting bridge wind curtain is green, a flower boat is slowly flowing on the river, and the ripples are rolling with the song and laughter of the flower girl on the boat, so that this warm spring day is more delicate and moving.
Song Ting leaned against the window and looked at the soft waist of the boat like wisps of soft waves flowing in the winding stream, some of the girls stroked the piano, some sang songs, some danced on the bow of the boat, and tried their best to attract the male guests passing on the shore, and even her woman looked at her heart fluttering.
Zao Zao brought Li Ping in, Song Ting saw that his red eyes contained clear water, and just sat on the stool and looked at the things he had sent on the table, and suddenly shed a few tears, "Listen to Zao Zao, ...... you?" ”
Song Ting lowered his face and remained silent.
"Why?" The man sobbed, "I know I misunderstood you when you were most helpless when you married the prince, but I also tasted the bitter fruit, you...... Are you not going to forgive me after all? Woowoooo......oo
It was the first time Song Ting saw such a crying man, tears were gushing on her pale face, and she was caught off guard and didn't know what to say.
Li Ping held back her tears and took out a silk silk from her arms, and a large peony flower was embroidered in the center of the silk cloth, and the exquisite needle and thread outlined a pattern that seemed to have the fragrance of flowers all the way.
"You gave it to me, remember?" Li Ping sadly unfolded the silk silk, revealing a column of goose yellow small characters in the left corner, "I don't see you every night, and drink the water of the Yangtze River together, which is the love thing you personally embroidered and gave to me." ”
The so-called token of love, the silk is unfamiliar to Song Ting today, he was speechless for a long time, and the boredom in his chest finally turned into a light sigh.
"The Yangtze River water is not delicious, let's drink the bar." Song Ting picked up the wine bowl and handed it to Li Ping, "It's better to forget about each other than to be in the rivers and lakes." ”
"......" Li Ping was stunned, lowered her eyes and looked at a pair of eyes reflected in the wine, the halo was hidden in the gray mist, and she muttered to herself: "What a forgetfulness in the rivers and lakes." ”
Taking the wine in Song Ting's hand, Li Ping drank it all, and wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve: "That...... Miss Song said goodbye. ”
The man got up slowly and walked towards the outside of the house, and Zao Zao, who was waiting outside the door, saw Li Ping coming out by himself, with two tears on his heartbroken face.
"Li Gongzi ......"
Li Ping raised her hand and asked her not to say any more, just silently left and melted into a burst of laughter, Zao Zao throat was a little bitter, and hurriedly turned around and stepped into the house.
"Miss, you really broke off your relationship with Li Gongzi!"
Song Ting withdrew his interested eyes from the river view outside the window and blinked: "Otherwise? ”
