Chapter 66

As soon as the Spring Festival passed, the weather gradually warmed up, and the weather was good these days, I ate breakfast every day and lay on the recliner in the yard with Ai'er to bask in the sun, my legs and feet are inconvenient but busy Ai'er, three times a day to change my dressing, boil medicine, whether it is useful or not, as long as I think of it, I will run to my side to rub my legs, beat my legs. My legs are quite competitive, I didn't make a big fuss, and after Ai'er took care of me, I can now walk alone with the help of crutches.

I lay on the chaise longue, looking at a few pomegranate trees in the yard, and vaguely found that some of the treetops have grown tender green buds, I was very pleasantly surprised, the whole winter was bare everywhere, the color was gray, and the mood would inevitably follow the dullness, and I limped towards the pomegranate tree with a cane.

Standing under the pomegranate tree, looking up carefully, I found that not only small shoots had grown, but also some of the buds had stretched out, and there were only a small part of them that seemed before.

These days, not only my legs are incapacitated, sometimes I have fever and pain in the middle of the night, the doctor said that my situation is that the meridians inside are dredging, so I will have a feeling of swelling and fever, not to mention that I am uncomfortable, on the other hand, I am also worried about Bai Xiaoqiu's injury.

Whether Bai Xiaoqiu was injured because of me or not, no one can say for sure, if he was injured because of me, then what happened to the dark arrow on his body, he was indeed injured, and the injury was not light, who can guarantee that the dark arrow was not coming at me. Even if my legs and feet were not injured, it would be impossible for me to see him, so I could only sit in the room and pray silently.

Now that his legs and feet are inconvenient, he found a good excuse not to see him, but in fact, he was still very worried in his heart, so he had to tell Ai'er to visit more often, after all, Ai'er was originally a girl from Bai Xiaoqiu's house, and she was the girl sent by Chu Lianwei to monitor me. Fortunately, I kept to myself, followed the woman's way, and did not get too entangled with Bai Xiaoqiu in private, and gradually Chu Lianwei didn't care so much. However, I have a relationship with Ai'er's master and servant, and she has served Bai Xiaoqiu all year round, and she will always help Bai Xiaoqiu talk openly and secretly, and helping Bai Xiaoqiu is also helping me. Immediately, I felt a lot more relieved.

I heard Ai'er come back and tell me that Bai Xiaoqiu's body is fine, she can already get out of bed and walk around, her appetite is not bad, she can eat a bowl of rice at every meal, as well as porridge and soup or something, but she always loves to have a fever, and the cracks that were injured by those falls are almost healed, according to the instructions of the doctor, she wiped it with disinfectant solution every day, but the place where the dark arrow was injured was always healed and recurred, and over and over again, but it was not always good, not only that, but it also turned pus and blood flowed out.

I felt a lot of pain in my heart when I heard it, but there was no other way, I pretended to be indifferent and smiled faintly, and I didn't even have a heart and lungs and said, "Twelve young people are young and strong, it will be fine in a few days, don't worry, you can't die anyway."

After saying this, my heart trembled a few times, and my legs trembled with it, and sure enough, lying is not my strong point.

Ai'er hugged Bai Xiaoqiu upset, and said sharply, "Sir, no matter how much you don't want to see Twelve Shao, he is also a patient now, and Mr. has a really big heart."

I glanced at Ai'er, she was holding the medicinal soup in her hand, standing beside me with a puffed out of her face, thinking to myself, Bai Xiaoqiu has a loyal girl like her, and it is worth it. One turned sideways and took the decoction and drank it all.

Ai'er looked at me and wanted to say something more, but I turned away, so much had happened during this time, I was already physically and mentally exhausted, I just wanted to be alone and quiet, and the rest of the things were left to think about later.

What is now in front of us is the marriage of the seventeenth young man and the three Turkic princesses. Since returning from the wilderness, I have never seen the shadow of the seventeen young, and the fourteen young have disappeared together, I heard Ai'er say that the fourteen young is busy with the marriage of the seventeen young people, after all, it is the saint himself to give the marriage, and the marriage is a princess, since it can not be lazy, all kinds of etiquette and etiquette are comprehensive, and the efforts to do it are prosperous, and the scenery is infinite.

At this time, I was looking up at the pomegranate tree in the yard, Bai Yan came to see me coldly, and I was very comforted in my heart, thinking that he was still blaming me for Bai Xiaoqiu's matter.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw me basking in the sun in the courtyard, strolling to my side, and quickly twisting his head to the side when he looked at me, as if he had done something wrong, with a bitter expression. I spoke first, and I smiled and said, "Since I came back, Nineteen Shao was the first person to come to see me, which shows that my weight in Nineteen Shao's mind is not light, and I am tired of Nineteen Shao worrying about me, and my little selfishness has been satisfied, and I am happy."

Bai Yan trembled slightly, from his erratic eyes, I could see that he was a little embarrassed, I laughed secretly in my heart, even Rourou never let me have any suspicion between him, but Bai Xiaoqiu easily drew a crack between the two of us without much effort, if the two are not brothers, I am afraid that I will open my mind and accidentally think crookedly. I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this.

Bai Yanleng finally dared to look at me, he said, "Feifei, you are very good at rounding the field for me, don't you really blame me, you have injured your legs and feet for so long, I have never come to see you, not even a word of greeting。。。。。。 Are you really not mad at me?"

I leaned on crutches, looked at the sky with a smile, and said, "Nineteen Shao said this, it was in vain that we have been friends for so long, think about it since I came to Baifu, the only person who can communicate with me is you, if I don't understand your mood during this time, if I don't understand your personality, I don't deserve to stand here and say so many things to you, Twelve Shao is injured, we are all sad, I know that you are good with Twelve Shao when you are young, care about him, worry about him, this is human nature, how can I blame you."

Bai Yan Leng shouted "Feifei" again.

I turned my head to look at him, and saw that his eyes were blue, as if he hadn't slept well, so I comforted him and said, "I heard that the twelve young people can get out of bed and walk around now, and they can eat quite well, and the nineteen young people can rest assured."

Bai Yan smiled faintly at me, and suddenly lowered his eyebrows, his expression was very serious, as if he had something to say to me but couldn't open his mouth for various reasons, I knew his thoughts, not only him, but the entire Bai Mansion, especially several major generals, were worried about Bai Xiaoqiu's arrow wound and felt strange. It's just that I'm busy with the marriage of the seventeenth young man these days, so I put this matter aside for the time being.

After a pause, Bai Yan Leng suddenly asked me, "Feifei, have you offended anyone before?"

I was shocked in my heart, stared at Bai Yan coldly, and asked, "How do you say this, I ask myself, I always keep my points, I have no quarrel with the world, as a woman, I abide by women's ways, and I have never done anything out of order, if I am a man, it must be the free and easy lord of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I have never offended anyone."

Bai Yan snorted coldly and said, "That should be for my fourth brother, but who can have the courage to dare to do something to the general of my Great Jin Kingdom at the feet of the Son of Heaven."

I didn't say anything, but these days, in the middle of the night, at dinner, at every free time, I thought about it, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't think of a reason, and I just looked in the direction of the sky and sighed deeply.

Ai'er brought the tea and shouted with a smile, "Sir, nineteen young, the freshly brewed jasmine tea is very fragrant, come and drink it." As he spoke, he brought a chair over.

The people of the entire Baifu hope that I can get together with Bai Yanleng, and there is always nothing to do intentionally or unintentionally match the two of us, Ai'er has long regarded the nineteen young people as the person who can accompany me to enjoy the flowers under the tree in the future and talk under the moon, even Bai Xiaoqiu thinks so, thinking that only the nineteen young people in this Baifu are suitable for me. But only I know that it is impossible for me and Bai Yanleng to be together in this life, we can play the piano together, laugh together, taste poetry and lyrics together, and do whatever we want, but we can't be husband and wife, others don't believe it after all, so what's the matter, I think time will always prove it.

Early in the morning, the general Bai Zhanqi ordered people to hang up red lanterns in the house, and the corridors in the house were also covered with red lings and lanterns, not only that, a few days ago, Bai Zhanqi also transplanted two kapok trees from the far south in the courtyard wall of the entrance of the white mansion, the flowers and leaves are not there, the flowers are red and the leaves are not green, only look at the trees without leaves, only the red and gorgeous kapok, the flowers are red like fire, the stamen is red like flames, bright but not vulgar, hanging on the branches rippling with the wind. Because when the kapok blooms, it is exactly when the leaves fall, and when the leaves grow, the flowers disappear again, which is very strange. It is said that after the flower falls, the tree falls down one after another, the flower does not fade, does not wilt, like a hero is strong and unyielding to say goodbye to the world, so kapok is also called "hero flower", transplanted in the white house, and the great wisdom and courage of the major generals reflect each other, but also the occasion.

I was going to push the banquet on the stall with inconvenient legs and feet, and the lovely child told me that everyone knew that Seventeen Shao married the three Turkic princesses because of me, afraid that I would marry the second prince, afraid that I would go to Mobei to suffer, and said that Seventeen Shao liked me, and was infatuated with me, and would rather suffer by myself than wronged me, and some people who were idle and had nothing to do said that Seventeen Shao wanted to marry me, but I didn't agree, so I had to turn to beg to marry the third princess, the purpose was to anger me and make me regret going, When Ai'er said it, she was like talking about someone who couldn't beat her, and she was at ease, and she didn't care about my mood at all.

At the moment, I'm afraid that if I don't go to the banquet, it will be misunderstood, although I don't want to see the third wife, but on the day of the seventeenth young wedding, I still have to go in order to express my gratitude.

I sighed slightly in my heart, saying that people are terrible, this time I am a teacher, in order to block the mouth of Youyou, to prove that I am innocent with the seventeen young people, when even a slap on the table, the fixed said, "The marriage of the seventeen young is the first great joy of the White Mansion, how can I not go to congratulate, no matter how I am also the daughter of a rich family, I can't be a small family, let alone waste my friendship with the seventeen young people." Tell Ai'er to take out the most precious wisp of longevity in my wooden box.

This longevity is engraved with a fish on one side, symbolizing worry-free food and clothing, auspiciousness and wealth, and the other side is engraved with the words longevity and 100 years old. Legend has it that this longevity wisp can prevent the invasion of diseases and plague spirits and harm human beings, and it is believed that once a child wears this longevity wisp, he will be protected from disasters and grow up safely. If an adult puts it under a pillow, it can also ward off the disaster and avoid the pain.

In order to look formal, I chose a light purple and gold ruffle jacket to wear, and a water-colored silk brocade long skirt reached to the ankles, gentle and elegant. Ai'er smiled and said, "It's good-looking, it's too plain, if you pin a pink flower arrangement on your head, it will look bright and moving, and the crown will be beautiful."

I quipped, "That's great, but if I steal the limelight from the bride, I can't afford to blame the princess."

Ai'er consciously said the wrong thing, so frightened that her neck shrunk, and she hurriedly said, "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful."

Just after that time, I heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the right front of the courtyard, intermittently, I sat in the courtyard, staring at the ground in a daze, I couldn't tell whether I was happy or sad. There are still a few hours left, the third princess is coming, I heard that the second prince came with his mother's family, and the khan was accompanied by Emperor Jin to eat and drink in the palace. Two days ago, the 17th young man and the major generals entered the palace to resume their lives, and they had set up a congratulatory banquet in the palace with the Jin Emperor and the Khan, the second prince and the third princess, and today they officially married the third princess.

As the sun gradually sinks in the west, the house becomes more and more lively, the sky does not see dark, then the candle flame is lit, and the lights in the white house are brilliant, like the stars dotted in the night sky, extremely shining. When Ai'er and I arrived at the seventeenth young man's house, it was already crowded with people, and the water around the three floors of the entire house was impassable, and the entrance of the house was even more full of BMW incense cars. The whole house is lit up, cigarettes are foggy, drums are singing, and sheng songs are boiling.

The wedding banquet was set in the seventeen-year-old house, but the venue for the formal ceremony was set up in the main hall where the third wife was, just above the hall, the third wife was sitting upright on a high-backed chair, wearing a red satin jacket with a golden butterfly flower, dignified and elegant, the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, and the slight powder delphicy looked more approachable.

In the midst of singing and laughing, and the voices of people were boiling, suddenly there was a crackling sound of firecrackers from the door, which hit my ears and hit my heart. People automatically gave way to a passage, and the big red sedan chair landed steadily in the middle of the courtyard of the main gate of the third wife's house, and the third princess was dressed in a red robe, and the rosa veil on her head trembled with her footsteps. The third princess had already received the permission of the saint, and did not follow the wedding etiquette of the Great Jin Kingdom in advance, but went directly into the hall by the maidservants around her, and then handed Hada to the astrologer, and the third princess then dedicated Hada to the third wife. Then the astrologer brings another bowl of wine, dips the ring finger of his right hand in some wine, and flicks it three times in the air, in mid-air, and on the ground to show respect for the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors, and then gives the bride a sip, and then the maidservant fills the cup, and then gives the groom a sip, and the maidservant will fill the cup again, and the husband and wife will drink the wine in the bowl together, and so on three times until there is no wine left in the bowl, which is the ceremony.

Then there was the wedding ceremony of the Great Jin Kingdom, and after three bows, with a burst of cheers, the head of the department shouted, "Send it to the cave room."

I think my reputation of not getting drunk is only in vain, fooling people, just a few glasses of wine, I am a little drunk, seventeen young people are wearing a red red gold trimmed satin embroidered brocade robe, embroidered with hollow patterns, far looks like clouds, near like leaves, the center of the back is embroidered with a gold thread a long-life lock, not only lining him noble, but also a kind of respect for the third wife.

Ai'er looked at me, a smile gradually appeared on her face, and whispered in my ear, "Sir, you see, the longevity lock on the back of the seventeen young man is exactly the same as the long-life lock we gave the congratulatory gift, and the two longevity locks lock the seventeen young man, won't he be able to live to be a hundred years old."

Seventeen young and the third princess are toasting the guests one by one, only to see the third princess take a sip, her face is not red and her heart is not beating, she is very good at drinking, if we fight together, I can't tell who wins and who loses. Seventeen is decent, polite, and seems to have grown a lot.

It's hard to imagine if Seventeen Young came to toast to me, what kind of state would we meet each other, one was afraid of being embarrassed, and the other was afraid of Seventeen Young's embarrassment, thinking about it or avoiding it, I didn't wait for Seventeen Young and the Third Princess to come over to toast, so I let Ai'er go out with it.

Walking along the corridor, everywhere you go, there are three people in a group, and five people are talking and laughing together. It was easy to find a quiet place, Ai'er pulled my sleeve and said, "Isn't that eleven younger?"

Looking closer, sure enough, it was Eleven Young Man who was looking up at the starry sky alone, and I smiled and said, "Today is the day of Seventeen Young People's Day, why didn't Eleven Young Man go to help accompany the guests, but he hid here and came to sneak away."

Eleven Shao showed a rare smile and said, "What can I do, it's just to laugh and eat together, and with the fourteenth and nineteenth brothers here, it can't be my turn, I don't like to be lively by nature, and I'm used to being quiet."

I smiled and said, "It's worthy of my Su Feifei's drinking friend, even the temperament is the same."

Eleven Shao smiled and stopped talking, glanced coldly at the dark place under the tree, and shouted, "Brother Twelve, it's windy outside, and it's not easy for you to stay outside the house."

I was shocked, and I didn't think that Bai Xiaoqiu was already sitting on the stone pier under the tree before I arrived. hurriedly shouted "Twelve is good".

At this time, I really wanted to go over and see him, I didn't see him for half a month, is he okay, does the wound still hurt, is the place where he was injured by the arrow better, I heard that the purulence and blood flowed, and now it is getting better, and his face is still as pale as he was back then, and I thought too much for a while, because of the eleven less presence, I had to swallow back the words in my stomach. was hesitating whether he should leave at the moment, Bai Xiaoqiu stood up, under the yellow and red light, even if he couldn't see his true face, he could feel his haggardness, only half a month later, he was thin, a burst of distress came to his heart, about the dark arrow, whether it was shot at him or on me, it made me feel a piercing pain, maybe after drinking, even his eyes became very gentle, soft as water. He looked at me, and the same, a tenderness that had never been felt before. Is it after experiencing life and death that you understand the importance of living, or is it only after experiencing life and death that you understand the importance of the other party?
