Chapter 058 Untitled

Some things seem difficult to solve, but they are actually very simple. What we are often afraid of is just the shadow of the cup.

—Epigraph

"This is not to wrong Miss Dong. If you want to be with Zhong Lin, then you shouldn't be entangled with others, not to mention that the other party is also a child of a family. No one has to doubt Miss Dong's intentions. Zhong Lin can't be with a scheming person, that's what I mean. Xu Baiping was also a little unkind.

Dong Xiaokui threw all those photos back on the table, sneered, and said, "I want to add a crime." That's not the case at all. Zhong Lin won't believe it, just ask Li Yongfeng. ”

"Don't you know Zhong Lin? He wouldn't ask at all. What's more, Guoning has done a lot for you, and it is possible to protect you. Everyone knows the character of that child. In Shu Ning's matter, it can be seen. Xu Baiping stood up, waved his hand to Dong Xiaokui indifferently, and said, "Okay." I don't want to go on, because I was asked to do it, and it made me inferior. Hello for yourself. ”

"Don't bother." Dong Xiaokui's tone calmed down, knowing in his heart that he was on the edge of the cliff now.

"Actually, we didn't have to do that. It's just that Miss Dong doesn't know what to do, and she can't retreat in the face of difficulties. Xu Baiping walked out and added.

Yes, if he was ruthless with Xu Erchu and the Han realm in the capital, now he has to be insulted like this, and he has to ride a tiger. I can only blame myself for not knowing what to do.

She closed her eyes in a daze, and then, chasing out the door, shouted, "Wait." ”

Xu Baiping stopped, straightened his coat, and turned around. Dong Xiaokui found out that there had been his entourage around here, but she never found out.

"Miss Dong, what's the matter?" Xu Baiping asked, his eyes introverted.

Dong Xiaokui originally wanted to say something, but she moved her mouth and didn't say it. Because, she suddenly felt that this sentence should not be spoken.

"What's wrong? Miss Dong has any requests, just ask. Xu Baiping's tone was indifferent.

Dong Xiaokui lowered her eyes, and then said slowly: "I want to know about Zhong Lin's divorce." ”

Xu Baiping's eyes swept over like a knife, and he didn't ask her if she didn't want to know why she wanted to know at this time. So he lightly recounted Xu Er's divorce. It turned out that Xu Er told Ouyang Wei in private that he didn't want to marry her, and if she didn't bring it up, he would take the initiative to bring it up at this family banquet. When the time comes, it will be Ouyang Wei who can't hold on to her face.

"How can Ouyang Wei's character be compliant." Dong Xiaokui almost said to herself, if it were her, she would not let a man threaten like this.

"Naturally not. Therefore, what Zhonglin said was that she took the initiative to retreat, which was her face, and it was his Xu Zhonglin's face that was damaged; If she doesn't retreat, she will be a woman who is unwilling to marry the second son. Because Zhong Lin clearly told Ouyang Wei that he would not attend the engagement banquet on the day. This is what Zhong Lin said to Ouyang Wei before the engagement banquet began. Xu Bai recounted blandly, and then added: "What else does Miss Dong have to ask?" ”

"It's already clear. However, since it was a conversation between the two, Ouyang Wei also proposed that she was unwilling to get engaged. These words came out again-" Dong Xiaokui said this, sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "That's it, I don't have anything to ask." ”

Yes, she has nothing more to ask. If she said it too clearly, it made Xu Baiping feel that she had ill intentions. That's it. Don't blame her for making Ouyang Wei bad. If the Xu family wants to marry, it is not necessary for the Ouyang family. Ouyang Wei's methods like this, even if Xu Zhonglin is not with her Dong Xiaokui. The Xu family is also not sure to renew the marriage with the Ouyang family.

"I hope Miss Dong is happy." After Xu Baiping finished speaking, he strode outside the villa.

Dong Xiaokui returned to the living room, the envelope on the table was still there, she took out the photos and looked at them, one by one, they were all photos of hugging Li Yongfeng when she said she would never see each other that day. There were several pictures of her tearful expressions clearly.

She smiled bitterly, wanting to destroy the photos. But she didn't destroy it after all, but put it away and put it in an envelope. Put the picture in your handbag. Give Xu Er a call.

The phone rang, Xu Er picked it up and said, "There's something wrong, I won't come back for dinner." You and Uncle Chen eat first. ”

Dong Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, listening to the tone was indeed not as eager as the previous call, as if they were instantly alienated from each other for 10,000 light years. She expected something to happen, but she didn't want to ask. If two people want to go on, not only love, but most importantly, trust each other.

If such a hurdle can't be overcome, then even if two people are together, they won't be very happy, especially for someone like Xu Er. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no spoilers along the way, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be many people who covet him. There is no guarantee of conspiracy and intrigues, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no slander against her.

"Good. Do you want to leave you with food? Dong Xiaokui pretended not to know and asked calmly.

"Nope. I've eaten it. Come back in a moment, you go read a book first, or take a nap. Okay, there's something else going on on my side. Xu Er said. The tone is light.

Dong Xiaokui said "um" and hung up the phone, she thought: I'm afraid those photos in the bag won't be needed.

Hanging up the phone, she slowly tidied up the kitchen. With a glass of rice wine, under the eaves of the verandah near the lake, leaning on the railing to look at the lake outside the window, the turquoise lake water slowly flowed away, the sky was cloudy, and finally the snow fell in the evening. Tomorrow is Saturday, and the day after tomorrow is Sunday, but despite this, she still called Qin Min and said that she needed to rest.

Qin Min said on the other end of the phone: "Rest slowly, Mr. Lin also instructed you to come to work when you are better." ”

"Well, I'll be here on Monday." She said, hung up the phone, stood up, and watched the sky gradually darken, and the snowflakes fluttered down one after another, falling into the lake without a trace.

Perhaps, there are some things that cannot be solved at the moment, no matter how hard you try. There are circumstances that cannot be reversed, no matter how hard you try today. Then leave it to time to refresh and refresh. What seems unsolvable today may not be a problem in other days. All that is required is to wait for everything to calm down.

She felt really tired. I didn't have a good rest when I came back from Aba Prefecture, and today I have such a drain. She even wanted to go back to Yunlai Town, sleep in the attic, sleep on the old wooden bed, and listen to the wind passing through the alley, bringing the fragrance of flowers to the house. Or listen to the whole town wake up to all kinds of clamour.

I just want to lick my wounds so simply. She held on to the pillars, and Uncle Chen had already turned on the red lanterns one by one, and also turned on the big street lamp that was not usually turned on.

Uncle Chen did all this, came over with meat dumplings, and asked Dong Xiaokui how to arrange dinner, whether he should call Xu Er.

"Okay." Dong Xiaokui replied. In fact, she guessed that Xu Er would not come back for dinner. Still, she pretended not to know. Call him again, and this time, the phone rang for a long time before he picked it up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

It's actually such a tone, like treating a stranger, and there is even disgust in the tone. Xu Baiping didn't trust her after all, and he took double insurance for this matter.

However, Xu Baiping is a person who mixes with officialdom after all, and it is naturally common for him to be double-faced, and he has investigated her very clearly. Here it's for her to make her own decisions, and there's for him.

In this game, Dong Xiaokui lost after all. Xu Baiping took the lead. Because if Xu Baiping didn't hand over those photos to Xu Er, Dong Xiaokui himself would set up a bureau for Xu Er to know, and then come to solve the bureau set up by Xu Baiping.

"It's okay, it's just that Uncle Chen wants to ask you if you're coming back for dinner? It's time to prepare dinner. Dong Xiaokui's tone was very calm, there was no joy, no surprise, and no calmness. Not even the slightest resentment.

"Oh, I'm not done yet. Won't come to dinner. Xu Er replied.

Dong Xiaokui said "um" and habitually advised: "If you come back at night, drive slower, it's snowing here again." It is estimated that it is raining in the urban area. Stay safe. ”

"I'm driving, you can rest assured. By the way, you don't have to wait for me. After eating, rest early. Xu Er said, his tone was finally not as stiff as before, but there was a little warmth.

Dong Xiaokui showed a smile that seemed to be nothing, and his tone was still calm, and said, "Okay." ”

"Don't think about anything, live well." He said suddenly.

There may be more meaning to this statement. Dong Xiaokui just thought about it a little, and didn't think much about it, just one word "good". Xu Er finally hung up the phone under the pretext that he had something to deal with.

Xu Er didn't come back, and Uncle Chen was also a little lonely. At dinner, Uncle Chen was obviously not very happy. Dong Xiaokui didn't speak, but also lowered his head to eat.

"Didn't he say he wouldn't come back?" Uncle Chen suddenly asked.

"Well, something." Dong Xiaokui replied.

"Alas, he was always busy. You haven't played chess with me yet. This kid has been in a hurry all these years. He is the busiest of the Xu family's generation. But I just admire him, and he has his own unique judgment and method in everything he does. This is very similar to his grandfather. Those who know say that Zhong Lin is most like his grandfather. Chen Bo recounted.

Dong Xiaokui's rhythm of eating was not chaotic, and he didn't ask a word, just listened. Uncle Chen didn't need Dong Xiaokui to make any response, he just wanted to speak. So when I talked about the old man of the Xu family, he was also a powerful figure, a hero and a legend in China's turbulent era. It is also a master who makes a decisive decision to kill, a person who uses the art of war to the fullest, and can see the enemy's strength, situation, and intentions from the enemy's one-sentence telegram, so as to deploy strategies. Able to find important information from the enemy's clues and strategize.

Dong Xiaokui listened, there was admiration, but there was still a faint disdain. If it is such a hero, why do you have such a profound concept of the family, thinking that she and Xu Er are not suitable.

"Alas. The Xu family will always produce a talented person every other generation, all of whom are heroes, and there is a natural domineering spirit in them. Although Zhong Lin's father is also a leader, elegant and elegant, and his gestures are magnificent, compared with his grandfather and him, there is less convincing domineering. Uncle Chen narrated slowly and took a sip of millet wine.

Dong Xiaokui no longer has much appetite, but she still slowly picks vegetables to accompany the lonely old man who has lost his beloved and is living alone to reminisce about the past. He spoke very fragmentedly, telling about the past, he first followed Xu Er's grandfather to participate in the battle for a few years, and because of his good marksmanship, he has been following Xu Er's grandfather. Later, he followed Xu Er's father.

He talks about those battles, and paints the sound and color, and the years of the horse; When it comes to excitement, sometimes he puts the wine glass down, and the sound makes Dong Xiaokui worry that the wine glass will break.

Later, he told the legend of the love between the old man of the Xu family and his wife. His wife is a young lady from the old official eunuch's family, and the other party is also a scholarly family, but she is conservative in her thinking. In the words of the time, they were hostile to each other. However, the grandfather of the Xu family passed by the alley, and the car startled the horse next to him, and the horse ran around. The woman was in the panicked crowd and accidentally fell. And he looked out, and saw her. Even the heroic man softened. stopped for her in Yuzhou City for three days, which was eighteen ways to marry her.

She'd heard of him for a long time. Who in Yuzhou City has not heard of General Xu's name? Heroes are lovers. Therefore, despite the family's strong opposition, she resolutely married, left a book and ran away, and resolutely followed the army.

He wanted to give her happiness, and naturally hoped for the consent of her family. She shook her head and said, "When the world is peaceful, they will naturally agree." At present, the husband's business is important. ”

In this way, she became his wife and fought with him in the north and south. Although she never went to school and had little contact with Western culture, after marrying him, she also rode a horse and shot a gun, followed her husband, and became a generation of sharpshooters. In the hall, in the kitchen, on the battlefield, this woman always stood beside the hero-like man. There were also times of crisis, and she chose to break off, not to drag him back, and not to let him put himself in danger. But he still rushed to her at the last moment.

Dong Xiaokui listened to the story of the Xu family's grandparents, but her eyes were wet. Even how heroic she is, she doesn't appreciate. She just envied that there was such a war-torn era for them to experience, and she just envied Xu Er's grandmother for being able to stand by the side of the person she loved like that and advance and retreat with him. In that case, even if you lose your life, what is the pity?

It's just that in such an era, too many feelings have not been crossed by death, will it never be possible to know how true and deep it is?

She still didn't have any emotion about such a story that made people envious and hateful, and still listened to Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen suddenly didn't say anything. After looking at Dong Xiaokui for a while, he said: "The women in charge of the Xu family are very courageous, and the Xu family has been recorded in the past dynasties, and I also know some." ”

This sentence seems to refer to something, or to say that she is not qualified, or to remind her that she is not bold enough. Dong Xiaokui was inconvenient to ask directly, but just said "oh".

Chen Bo suddenly said, "Xiaokui, accompany me to play a game of chess." Go takes too long. ”

"Okay." Dong Xiaokui replied, so the two cleaned up the cups and plates and set up a game. It was a rapid chess, and five minutes later, Dong Xiaokui's soldiers came to the city, Chen Bo laughed and said very happily: "The chess style is atmospheric." ”

"Uncle Chen has won the award." Dong Xiaokui smiled slightly.

"A few more rounds, how?" Uncle Chen asked again.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Dong Xiaokui replied while setting up the chess game. The two of them killed more than a dozen games, all of which were rapid, winning and losing each other.

In the end, Uncle Chen said that she was old, she couldn't continue to come, she wanted to rest, and praised her for her chess style is very stable, but she doesn't lose her atmosphere, if she is marching and fighting, although she is not a genius, she is definitely a good material.

"Uncle Chen, you've drunk too much. Net said that Rong Ma career. Dong Xiaokui smiled, seeing that the snow seemed to be a little bigger.

Uncle Chen shook his head, patted the head of the meat dumpling, and said, "Go and rest." ”

The meat dumplings screamed and went upstairs. Uncle Chen walked for a while, then turned around and said, "Girl, be happy and ask yourself what you want." Don't wait to regret it later. Also, there are some things that seem difficult to solve, but they are actually very simple. What we are often afraid of is just the shadow of the cup. ”

Dong Xiaokui suddenly felt that Uncle Chen was like a hidden wise man. She paused for a moment, and then said aloud, "Thank you, Uncle Chen." ”

"It's a good rest. People are young, what a good time. We must work hard and live a wonderful life. "Uncle Chen went to the bamboo forest.

"Hey." Dong Xiaokui replied loudly, thinking of her grandfather, biting her lip and wetting her eyes with tears. ......
