CHAPTER XXXI
Another month has passed. That day, the words of Master Jing Ling have been buried in the depths of my soul, and whenever there is no one or in the dead of night, it will jump out and tell me that it is time to let go, and it is time to finish.
The grievances and grievances between me and Bai Xiaoqiu have been five years and ten months from when I was a girl to the present.
Although, I am not completely bruised, but I have carved a palace pink plum between my eyebrows. The palace pink plum I carved was not because of Bai Xiaoqiu at that time, but because of last resort.
When I fell down the mountain, my face was scratched by a branch, and the master who helped me carve the palace pink plum asked me if I wanted to remove all the scars on my face in order to get business. I didn't even think about it, so I said yes.
During that time, I was suffering both mentally and physically, and I almost gave up.
I lay on the table and looked at myself in the bronze mirror, brushing the hair from my forehead and looking at my face carefully. It's no wonder that Bai Xiaoqiu won't recognize me, and how could I ever tell him that I was Su Luofan who was pushed off the cliff by him back then.
He disappeared for five years, and we met at the gate of Luoyang City half a year ago.
I clearly remember that one day half a year ago, the sun was shining high, thousands of miles of fragrance, a very beautiful, festive sedan chair was carried out from Su Fugui's house, the sedan chair carved exquisitely, the back of the longevity pattern and fish dragon are all carved with lacquer, the left and right sides of the whole sedan chair are divided into yin and yang, symbolizing the harmony and unity of husband and wife. The front of the sedan chair is the guard of honor to send off relatives, the head is big, the spirit is vigorous, mighty and solemn, the back of the sedan chair is the colorful clothes and maids to embrace, the flowers are splendid, the sound of firecrackers all the way is everywhere, the suona gongs and drums are ringing, the wedding scene is pushed to a climax.
I married the daughter of a wealthy woman who was famous in Luoyang City and went to a family hundreds of miles away from the city.
I sat in a sedan chair, wearing a phoenix crown and a shawl, and a floor-mopping crimson double-disc robe with a snail.
The sedan chair was carried by four sturdy men, and when it reached a place a few hundred meters away from the gate of Luoyang City, it suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, the iron flow rolling, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Nearly 1,000 heavily armed soldiers, all dressed in bright armor and holding spears, came from the city gate with neat steps. The major general walking in the middle had long inky hair tied up high, dark purple magnificent eyes, a red brocade robe, a snow-colored white robe, and a sword on horseback.
It turned out to be Bai Xiaoqiu, the fourth brother of Bai Zhanqi, the first general of the dynasty. It is said that this young major general is capable of writing and martial arts, has outstanding talents, has led troops into battle, fought bloody battles, and has made a lot of meritorious contributions. Unfortunately, it suddenly disappeared somehow, and there was no news.
Not long ago, Emperor Jin's army had fierce negotiations with the chiefs in the area of the white wolf, and the two sides fought for many days without results, and many soldiers in the army had to stop to recuperate because of the lack of oxygen on the plateau, and the shortage of food. The chieftain took this opportunity to lead his people out of the siege and attack the Jin army all the way west. The Jin army resisted desperately to no avail, but in a few days, several cities were lost one after another, and they were defeated and retreated. Emperor Jin was furious, and would rather be broken than broken, even if he fought until the last soldier was left, he would never flinch.
In danger, Bai Xiaoqiu came with more than a thousand iron horsemen and stepped on the snow, beating the chieftain and others to the ground, and recovering the lost cities one by one. When the news reached the palace, Emperor Jin was ecstatic and ordered people to set up hundreds of flowing water seats in Luoyang City to congratulate them for three days. All the people of the city, regardless of their rank, whether they are rich or poor, can come to the feast. and ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome Major General Bai back to the court.
Now, the sedan chair I was riding was heading towards the city gate, and just as I was about to reach the gate, I was stopped by the oncoming soldiers, saying, "The major general has returned triumphantly, and all the idlers and miscellaneous people have been avoided."
There is a saying among the people, saying that the bride can not look back once she sets off on the day of her marriage, and the sedan chair can only go forward and not backward, which is also auspicious.
What kind of person is I, Su Feifei, on a happy day, how can I be bullied. With a bang, he tore off the Rosa handkerchief on his head, lifted the brocade curtain and walked out of the sedan chair, causing the Vake people on the side to shout that it was unlucky, unlucky.
I stood in front of Bai Xiaoqiu's horseback in danger, and said loudly, "Major General Bai, what a coincidence, everyone says that Major General Bai has an extraordinary character, a golden sword and an iron horse, brave and good at fighting, in the hearts of the people, you are a god, but today is a good day for me to get married, do you know that this wedding sedan chair is absolutely unrequitable, and please make it convenient for the major general to see today's situation, if there is a place where I can be useful in the future, I Su Feifei will never say a word."
That Bai Xiaoqiu smiled faintly, his magnificent eyes rolled a few times, and the microwave sparkling was happy or angry, and he raised his hand and said, "The little lady said that it was funny, that is, there is a reason why happy events cannot be fulfilled, please."
I bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Major General Bai."
Just as I turned around and was about to get into the sedan chair, several masked black-clothed people rushed up from the crowd, they jumped up, waved their white blades and pointed directly at Bai Xiaoqiu and rushed over, the Bai Xiaoqiu was looking at the delicate person at this time, defenseless, turned over and jumped off the horse on one side. For a while, the short soldiers were in contact, the swords and swords were shadowed, and the noise was everywhere, and the whole scene was chaotic. After a few fights, one of the men in black suddenly changed direction and came towards me, Bai Xiaoqiu immediately turned around and rushed over, and shouted loudly, "Stubborn thief, quickly put down the butcher knife." The man in black shook his hand and brought the pungent smoke over again, Bai Xiaoqiu was dazzled by the smoke, and the man in black took the opportunity to stab Bai Xiaoqiu. said that it was too late and that it was fast, I couldn't help but think too much about manganese and pounced forward, and the soldiers also rushed over, surrounding the scene, only to hear a bang, purple and red, and blood flowed all over the ground.
When I came back to my senses, there were tears lying on my face, and Ai'er asked me in surprise, "Sir, why are you crying again?" Ai'er said as she handed over the handkerchief.
I reached out and took the handkerchief and wiped it on my face, reassuring Ai'er, "The past is always sad, but don't worry, from now on, I will forget the pain and live happily."
Seeing my sworn appearance, Ai'er also became happy, looked at me and said, "Mr. Su, from now on, Ai'er will definitely serve you well, and look forward to Mr.
I stepped forward and hugged my Ai'er in my arms, and said earnestly, "My dear Ai'er, listening to your words today, I am happier than anything else."
Told Ai'er to go and get some food, Ai'er answered, turned around and went out.
Looking at Ai'er's back, I secretly said in my heart, Ai'er, although you are not as kind to me as Ju'er, and not as loyal as Ju'er, you are also decent and do what a maid should do. After Huang Kou took the exam, this master-servant relationship between us should come to an end, and when the time comes, you can return to Bai Xiaoqiu's mansion and continue to be loyal to him and the young lady. That's the best place for you.
Standing in front of the window, looking out of the window, I thought, now, Bai Xiaoqiu has a beautiful mother by her side, and a lovely son, life can be described as smooth. Happiness and happiness.
Since I didn't tell him who I was, why bother, maybe I should listen to Master Jing Ling's advice and go live my own life.
Turning around and coming to the table, he quickly wrote two lines on the paper: cumin, after the Huangkou test, go back to Jizhou together and wait for me.
I folded the written note and put it in my sleeve, came to the gate, and saw Azu talking to Rourou from a distance, I waved to Azu, and Azu ran over and asked me, "Miss Su, what's the matter."
I whispered a few words in Azu's ear, shoved the note into his hand, and I smiled at him.
Azu smiled back at me, and I motioned for him to hurry over and stand up. Azu said, "Miss Su, don't worry, then I'll go."
I nodded, and mumbled.
Even if seventeen is less than me, he is a major general in Baifu after all, and he is straightforward and open-mouthed, if this matter is left to him, he will not be able to poke it out for me that day.
Come to think of it, Azu is the only best candidate for me.
Rourou beckoned to me, and I waved to her in response.
Since Zhao Yinlan's matter was revealed, Bai Zhanqi gave a death order to the guards guarding the door, and all people entering and leaving the mansion must strictly carry out inspections according to the regulations. Without a license, everyone is not allowed to leave their posts without authorization, and once discovered, they will be severely punished.
Looking at Azu, I sighed silently in my heart, I'm afraid I'm powerless about Rourou, and I can't help if I want to, even though I know that he likes Rourou, but Rourou doesn't like him. Since the last time Rourou and Bai Yan Leng danced in my yard, I think Azu should have seen something.
In order not to affect Azu and Rourou's work, I had to watch them from a distance, wave at them and leave.
Back in the courtyard, Ai'er hadn't come back yet, but Bai Yan came coldly. I smiled at him and said, "Nineteen is good."
Bai Yan looked at my eyes coldly and asked softly, "What's wrong, are you in a bad mood?" ”
I squeezed out a smile at him and said, "No, I'm going to take the Huangkou exam soon, I want to give him the best, and it's not in vain to be his Mr. Literacy."
Bai Yanleng didn't say anything more because of the reason I just had, he just stared at my eyes tightly, and it took a while to hear him say, "Feifei, do you want to leave, leave Baifu, leave me, leave my fourth brother, leave all of us, and leave."
My tears burst out of my eyes, and Bai Yan hurriedly walked up to me and pulled me into his arms. I leaned against his chest and wept. He patted me on the back over and over again and said to me, "Feifei, since you are determined to leave, I can't stop you, I just want you to be happy."
When Bai Yan left coldly, I told him, "Don't let anyone know about this matter for the time being, especially your fourth brother, who was covered in blood when he came, and I wanted to be happy when I left."
Bai Yan smiled coldly at me and said, "I promise you."
That night, it suddenly rained, I went to bed early, and in the middle of the night, I had a dream that I was sitting by the river and playing, and suddenly I heard the cry of a child not far away. I walked along the path of the jungle in search of the source of the sound, and the path stretched out before my eyes, winding and twisting, the foliage flourishing, the branches twisting and falling, and the roots tangled into the soil, blocking my path. I lifted my feet and crossed the obstacles. As I walked on, the path became a thin band, and gradually it became a thin line. The sand and gravel layer of the road was gone, and the jungle was gone, except for a dense patch of weeds and moss. I saw a mountain cliff, and although it was covered in a large cluster of strange bushes, I recognized it at a glance. I stood upright, my heart pounding in my chest, tears rolling in my eyes, bringing a strange pain that pierced my heart.
It turns out that this is Lion Rock, and it is still the same secluded and quiet as in the past, full of infinite pain and despair.
