Chapter 31: A Pair
Three days later, the uncle got married.
Zhezhe followed all the way on the side, watching her dress up, watching her dress up, as soon as the firecrackers outside the door sounded, the bride covered her head, helped her out of the door, and got on the sedan chair. The husband and wife followed behind, also red-eyed, Zhezhe did not cry, nor did he get too close.
There was a sense of loss in my heart.
Across the crowd, I saw Ye Qiongwen for the first time, dressed in a happy dress, full of spirit, with a red flower on his chest, a tall horse, carrying him, with a mighty team, and disappeared at the corner of the road.
In an instant, the entire Gongbo's Mansion was silent.
The banging crowd was gone, as if all the excitement had followed them.
Zhezhe watched Gongbo Shengde help the weeping Wang and went to his residence.
All of a sudden, there were no more people gathered at the door, and the whole mansion seemed empty.
Ah Wan and Ah Ru, thinking that she was reluctant, came over to persuade her to go back to rest, Zhezhe did not agree, just smiled and asked them to go down first, and they wanted to be alone and quiet.
Standing behind the closed door, with his face against the door panel, his head against the wood, he closed his eyes for a long time before he took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back to Xinxin's residence along the red crumbs along the way.
When I looked up, the courtyard was still there, the swing was still there, but the people were gone.
The door was already closed, and only a small servant was cleaning in the yard, and when he saw Zhezhe come in, he saluted, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhezhe and asked him to busy himself.
She came here just to see.
From the entrance of the mansion to this courtyard, there are a total of 308 steps. 308 steps, a little girl, has gone through the most carefree growth years, crossed the first threshold of life, married a wife, whether you like it or not, happy or not, the road ahead has been lined up, this road, can only go forward, can not go back.
Zhezhe sat down on the swing, sat there very quietly, and watched the little maid clean up the yard and retreat.
I don't know why, I suddenly wanted to cry, Zhezhe looked up at the sky, sniffed, and didn't know if this inexplicable emotion was for Xin Xin's distress, or because of the reluctance of the original body.
In this way, Zhezhe stayed in the courtyard until the afternoon, with no appetite to eat, and no interest in going anywhere else.
In the afternoon, I was pulled over by the Wang family, listened to her chatter, and talked a lot about her when she was a child.
Xin Xin is two years older than her, but after Zhezhe remembers, she takes care of Xin Xin more.
"Back then, when you were born, your sister was angry and made a fuss for a long time, saying that she was afraid that we wouldn't like her if we had you," Wang sighed, looking back at the two children, who were still little babies, "She bullied you when she was a child, and you still have to follow her and pester her to play with, and she is also a little Laipi dog!" ”
Zhezhe didn't know about these things, but seeing her so emotional, he was embarrassed to retreat, just smiled and nodded, and didn't reply anything.
"When she was a child, she was pampered, and now she has gone to the Shizi Mansion, to be honest, my mother is very worried about her," said Wang's tears.
chattered, talking about how Zhezhe was sensible when she was a child, and how Xinxin was unreasonable, but even if she was unreasonable, Zhezhe also helped protect her and accommodate her.
"I've been thinking about your sisters, and I won't be able to get along in the future," who knows, in the end, when they grow up, they are very close, Wang Shi pulled Zhezhe and said, "Don't be sad, the girl's family will get married sooner or later, and you will get married in the future. ”
Zhezhe nodded, not knowing why the topic suddenly turned to himself.
"I've been busy these days, and I haven't asked you all the time," Wang wiped away his tears, "What's the matter with you and Liang Gongzi?" ”
I really don't want to answer this question, and the moment I ask it, Zhezhe's whole person is not good!
I should have made an excuse to leave.
"Don't want to say it, or are you embarrassed to say it?" Wang's refusal to forgive.
In fact, there is nothing to say at all, and I don't know how to say it!
To tell the truth, Ah Wan is going to be beaten to death, if she doesn't tell the truth, she will be able to accept this matter privately!
What a dilemma! Zhezhe racked his brains, how can he change the subject?
"If you don't want to, just do it," Wang saw that she was reluctant, just thinking that it was a little girl's heart, afraid that people would ask about such things, "Mother just reminded you, this marriage, your father is not very happy!" ”
After all, since childhood, Gongbo Shengde has loved his two daughters, especially Gongbo Zhezhe. For the future son-in-law of the two daughters, I also think a lot, and I have always thought that I can let her meet someone she really likes, regardless of her background and status, as long as she can be good to her daughter.
There is no male in the Gongbo's Mansion, if it is the person loved by the daughter, he is righteous and awe-inspiring, and it doesn't matter if he is poor, the Gongbo's family can help. If he doesn't care about the words of the world and is willing to get into it, he can't ask for it.
It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, the two daughters and a holy decree were all married.
Gongbo Shengde was annoyed by this for a long time.
There is no way to be annoyed, who let this be the emperor's order, and it cannot be disobeyed.
Xinxin's marriage is already irreversible, but Zhezhe's marriage, Gongbo Shengde always thinks that there will be a turnaround. Similarly, the Xiangguo Mansion also resisted this marriage and wanted to reverse it, but the two families were actually the same in their hearts and were unwilling to admit the marriage.
"Your father, for the sake of your marriage with Xin Xin, I sighed after the holy decree," said, Wang couldn't help but sigh, "I always heard your father say that this marriage was originally given to the prince, insisting on giving you to the eldest prince, and I was still worried about your father at that time, after all, you were still haunted by ghosts at that time." ”
At the mention of ghosts, Zhezhe couldn't help but muttered in his heart, you are a ghost, you are more terrible than ghosts!
"In the end, it's still the people in the palace, and they win stubbornly," I'm afraid that the queen mother is crazy because she dislikes Zhezhe, thinking that what her grandson is asking for is Gongbo Xinxin, so she made a decision, pressed the emperor, and made a decision, "It's just that in the end, why did you marry Liang Gongzi, your father can't think of it, even the imperial history can't think of why." ”
"Well," Zhezhe nodded perfunctorily, the emperor alas, he can marry whoever he wants, do you still have to think about why?
"I'm thinking with your father, in the end, it's still the emperor, taboo about the past," thinking of two years ago, the Wang family was terrified, "The prince insists on giving you the same prince a marriage, I'm afraid it is also out of this consideration." ”
"Before?" Was it two years ago? Zhezhe couldn't help but ask.
"Do you remember what happened now?" Wang looked at her with a serious expression.
"I can't remember - too much," these five words, Zhezhe replied very hard, she really didn't know what happened, a little regretful, why did I ask what was the matter?
"I really don't remember?"
Zhezhe shook her head, she really didn't know, the deception was a puppy.
"It's okay if you don't remember, in the end, you can forget it for the rest of your life," Wang took her hand and patted it in the palm of his hand, "Even if you remember it in the future, you have to treat it as if you don't remember, whoever asks you can't tell the truth, you know?" ”
Zhezhe nodded hesitantly, what is the truth? Why don't you tell me about it, and I'll evaluate it, can't you say it?
Wang didn't talk to her about this topic anymore, but began to talk about the way to get along with husband and wife, for a while he was worried that Xin Xin would be excluded in the palace, and for a while he comforted Zhezhe, even if he was in love with Liang Zhe, he didn't have to worry about Gongbo Shengde, he also wanted her to be happy, as long as she decided on her own, Gongbo Shengde side, she could lobby.
This afternoon, Zhezhe had a particularly hard time.
She really doesn't like Liang Zhecheng, can't she not mention the previous misunderstanding between her and Liang Zhecheng?
Also, can you not talk about getting along with husband and wife, she is still young, and she doesn't want to talk about marriage.
Finally stayed up until the evening, and after eating, Zhezhe was sleepy and retreated to his room.
After washing, I lay on the bed, but I couldn't fall asleep over and over, even if I fell asleep, I could always see a woman in my dreams, wearing a pink shirt, sitting in front of me and crying, crying all the time, crying very sadly.
Zhezhe reached out to pat the person in front of her, as soon as she turned around, it turned out to be Xin Xin's face, in an instant, the pink clothes oozed blood, Xin Xin suddenly stopped crying, smiled at her desolately, his eyes were overflowing with sadness, and in an instant, Zhezhe sat up.
So repeatedly, all night, all dreaming, slowly, panic turned into worry, Zhezhe directly insomnia, his mind was full of worry about Xinxin.
The bride is married, and she will return on the third day.
Zhezhe spent three nights in the house.
Insomnia every night, dreaming every night, the same dream, the same scene. Just as she was about to break down, the landscape of her dream changed.
A dark mountain road, there is nothing to see around, Zhezhe walked there alone, walked and walked, walked and walked for a long time, and suddenly felt that someone behind her pulled her, and when she turned around, she actually saw her face.
"Who are you?" Zhezhe was very surprised, the person in the dream was exactly the same as himself, with crisp yellow clothes, bright eyes and bright teeth, and smiled at her.
"Beware of the people in front of you catching you!"
"Catch me?" Zhezhe frowned, "What people in front?" ”
As he was talking, he was tapped on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw his true self in the 21st century - Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Do you still want to go back with me?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.
Before Zhezhe could answer, the father-in-law behind him, Zhezhe, took her arm and ran back with her. The two of them kept running, and they didn't know why they were running.
"Why should I run!" Zhezhe shook off Gongbo Zhezhe's hand and panted, "I want to go back to the 21st century!" ”
"No, you don't want to!" Gongbo Zhezhe still looked at her with a smile, without a trace of tiredness.
"Why!"
"Because, I'm you!" After saying this, Gongbo Zhezhe became a faint beam of light, jumped directly to her chest, and melted in.
"I'm you, you're me!" This time, the voice sounded in my head.
Zhezhe exclaimed and sat up, Ah Wan, who was waiting outside the door, came in to ask when she heard the sound, she waved her hand, didn't let her come, sat by herself for a while, calmed down her emotions, and then lay down again.
This lay down, and I didn't fall asleep anymore, and I opened my eyes until dawn.
Xin Xin returned to the door today, Zhezhe was worried, after getting up, he walked around the gate of the mansion, staring at it from time to time, doing nothing, and the people below looked at it in their eyes, just as a sisterhood, looking forward to whispering earlier!
Who knows, the people didn't wait to come back, but the messenger from the Shizifu came.
said that it was in the palace, the queen mother was gone, and the carriage that was supposed to go back to the house went directly to the palace, and today I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the door, so that the people in the house do not have to wait.
The day of returning to the door is afraid that it will be postponed for ten days and a half months.
This time, Zhezhe didn't eat for a day, and at night he gritted his teeth and came to the door, and went to ask the Wang family if he knew Xinxin's situation.
This was the first time Zhezhe came to look for her after she got sick, which surprised and delighted her, and pulled her to say a lot.
Moreover, it was all useless words, Zhezhe was speechless, listened to it for a long time, and finally had to go out with a small face, and on the way back, he kept muttering in his heart, what did he say about the donkey's head and the horse's mouth?
Fortunately, Ah Wan told Ah Ru that she would get up early tomorrow and go back to the Taoist temple to practice, thinking that the master knew more, so Zhezhe gave up.
Early the next morning, the carriage of the Gongbofu went out of the city gate as usual.
Along the way, the streets were all hung with white flowers, even on the carriage where Zhezhe was sitting, and the jewelry on his head was also picked, with a small white flower, and his clothes were also white.
When I arrived at the view, it was also from the outside to the inside, and I had to sigh that the royal pomp was big, the queen mother died, and the whole country was sad, all dressed in linen and filial piety.
After entering the Guanli, Ku Rong asked Aunt Mei to come over, still playing the piano and painting, and saw him in a hurry in the morning, saying that he was busy making arrangements for the Queen Mother's funeral in the Guanli, and when Zhezhe was about to return in the afternoon, he had time to come and chat with her.
"Master, I want to ask you a question," took Aunt Mei away, and saw that Awan was not there, and then Zhezhe spoke.
"What's the matter?" Ku Rong sat there and kept drinking tea, too busy, from opening his eyes in the morning to now, he didn't drink a sip of water, and now he has a kettle, but he has to drink enough.
"Do you know how my sister is?"
"Miss, Xinxin?" Ku Rong thought for a while, "It's good, I heard that it is the prince and the prince's mansion, they are in love, and the two of them respect each other like guests, what's the matter, what are you asking for?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare," Zhezhe told Ku Rong about the appearance of Xin Xin in the dream, "Master, do you say this is a bad premonition, I always feel uneasy in my heart." ”
"Are you worried about your sister?"
"That's natural," Zhezhe nodded, since he got close to her, he knew that she was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and he said that he hated himself and hated himself on the surface, and at the critical moment of trouble, he would pull himself along. People are kind-hearted, besides, there is such a sad past, how can people not feel distressed?
"If you worry too much, you will be in turmoil," Ku Rong comforted her, "You relax your heart, Ye Shizi feels very sorry for your sister, she has been thinking about it for three years, and now she is married to the door as a concubine, even if there is no love in the back, the emperor's holy decree is still there, no one dares to do anything to her, and there will be no danger to her life." ”
"I know," Zhezhe's mind was full of the palace fighting drama he had seen before, "I'm afraid that she will be plotted." ”
"Plotting?" Ku Rong was surprised, "Who is plotting?" ”
"Naturally, there are scheming people," this still needs to be thought, "Master, in this world, have you married a lot of side concubines, concubines or something back?" ”
"No," Ku Rong explained, "There are only two positions for the side concubine, and the main concubine has not entered the door, where did the side concubine come from?" As for the concubine, I haven't heard of it, but there must be a maid who warms the bed. ”
"Does he have children?" The palace fighting drama is standard, fighting for the heirs.
"No," Ku Rong shook his head, a little unbearable, "This son of the world, with the frame of a romantic gentleman, boasts that he wants to be a couple for the rest of his life, he is not a bad person, and he will not treat your sister badly." ”
"Oh?" Zhezhe didn't believe it at all, and his mouth was about to reach the back of his head.
"Why, you don't believe me?"
"People from the royal family, especially men from the royal family, aren't they three wives and four concubines?" Still a couple for a lifetime? What a high pretend!
"People from the royal family, why can't they be a couple for a lifetime?" Looking at her appearance, does it mean that she hates the royal family?
"If you have money and power, men will learn badly!"
"What kind of reason is that?"
"This is a fact, okay," Zhezhe clasped his hands on his chest and insisted on his opinion, "How ruthless emperors have been since ancient times!" ”
After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not enough, "In your era, no matter whether men are rich or not, there are few good ones." ”
"Why did you bring everyone with you all of a sudden?" It's really funny, "That uncle is not a good person?" ”
"Naturally," at the family banquet, Zhezhe personally counted that in addition to the Wang family, he had four concubines.
"Then your senior brother and I are not good either?" Ku Rong pinched his beard, always feeling that Zhezhe had scolded him and his nephew.
"You two—" Tetsu-cheol thought for a moment, "how do I know, 'I don't know you again!'" ”
Who knows if you've hooked up outside.
"And what do you want to know?" Ku Rong waved his hand and explained, "I have contributed most of my life to Master Zu, and I have cultivated diligently, and I really haven't been contaminated with women's sex. ”
"Then, except for monks and Taoist priests," Zhezhe thought about it, sent his mouth, mentioned Yin Si, and couldn't help asking, "Senior brother can't get close to women?" ”
"There really is no such rule," Ku Rong immediately shook his head, "The cultivation of our faction depends on the wishes of each person, and it is a spiritual connection, if you can't meet it, then you don't force it, and if you encounter it, you don't have a chance, then you pray for blessings, and if you meet it, you have a fate, and it's not impossible to marry a wife and have children." ”
"That is to say, you faction, you have to meet true love to get married, is that what you mean?" Zhezhe pondered for a while and said that he was very satisfied, in this way, the senior brother is still a good object, and the education he received since he was a child is a pair for a lifetime, not forced, not abusive, and it is also a blessing to be picked up by himself!
"Relieved, aren't you?" Ku Rong nodded and asked with a smile.
"What's relieved?" Zhezhe blushed and pretended not to understand.
"Your senior brother is going to be busy for two days, and he should be able to come over the day after tomorrow, and I will let him go and see you when the time comes," Ku Rong deliberately told her, "Tomorrow, when you come, you will still learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, spells or something, and wait for him to come and teach you!" ”
"Who wants him to see," Zhezhe duplied, "I just want to learn spells!" ”
The two of them chatted in the courtyard for a while, and Awan Aru came over to urge, and then set off to go back.
