Chapter 545: Wisteria Blossom Falls
"You can think so." Chen Ying smiled, speaking calmly with a little relief.
Xue Rui couldn't help nodding her head, wanting to say something more, but her throat was clogged, tears flowed, and countless emotions lay across her chest, but she couldn't pronounce it.
She was wrong and forgot a lot of things.
She didn't really have nothing, but she had a lot: a new home, new relatives, new friends.
And most importantly, she supported herself.
With her knowledge and skill, she has found a way for herself to live, and she will no longer have to rely on others, and she does not have to exchange her humble posture for that pitiful life.
Xue Rui wiped her tears and wanted to laugh, but the sound she made was howling.
She lay on the quilt, crying unstoppable, tears soaking a large part of the quilt.
Chen Ying looked at her slightly, and after a long time, she sighed silently, got up gently, and turned out of the screen.
Xue Rui needed such a bitter cry.
Like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon and a phoenix reaching nirvana, all the growth in this world is accompanied by pain and tears, without exception.
Out of the door, the flowers and branches under the corridor are swaying, the summer sky is brilliant, the slight clouds are everywhere, and the blue sky is like washing.
Chen Ying's mood is also broad and refreshing, just like this long blue sky.
Xue Rui's matter, after all, has a good end, which is what she is most happy to see.
It seems to be to make fun of this mood, in the next few days, there is no rain in Jinan City, the sun is shining in the town, every noon, the day is still a little poisonous, there is the old man, standing in the shade of the tree with a stick, sighing "the evil moon is coming, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming".
The old man's words were indeed correct. Almost in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is in front of you, in the depths of the alleys, at the corners of the streets, there is a fragrance of reed leaves everywhere, so that people can know when they smell it, and who is making zongzi.
What's even more gratifying is that this year's Dragon Boat Festival is different from previous years, because last year was a bumper year, so Jinan Mansion has one more fun: dragon boat racing.
It is said that a group of nobles, including the prefect and the Zhongyong Uncle's mansion, all have dragon boat competitions, which makes the people of the city happy before the festival, which is more lively than the New Year.
It's just that such a joyful scene has nothing to do with the Pei family of Weiyuan Hou.
Since the end of April, Pei's mansion has been cloudy, don't say that the festival is making zongzi, the whole mansion does not even have a laugh, the little marquis Pei Shu saw Tian'er's calm face, almost a day to show his face.
Who dares to mention the festival at this time?
Isn't that looking for death?
On the fourth day of the first month of May, everything is appropriate, and the day before the dragon boat race, all kinds of dragon boats have entered the water, and they are moored on the shore of the Daming Lake, the whole city is a sensation, the people drag their families with mouths, talk and laugh, all run to see the excitement.
However, the atmosphere of the Pei family is becoming more and more cold and lonely, and even solemn.
Someone died in the house some time ago, and the little marquis has been very angry.
Among the people of Pei's house, there are rumors.
It's not that they are speculating, it's really that Pei Shu hasn't had a good face for more than ten days in a row, he goes out with a black face and goes home with a black face, how can the people not be afraid?
Especially in the past few days, Pei Shu's temper has become more and more grown, and he has not stopped falling, and the servants of the mansion have been tiptoeing when they walk, for fear of touching his frieze.
After lunch at noon, Pei Shu left the house with a gloomy face as usual, and did not bring his entourage, so he rode away alone, and returned at dusk.
The door was already hanging half of his heart, for fear that he would miss the big event of Hou Ye's return to the house, so he nailed it to the gatehouse, and he didn't dare to move the nest, Pei Shu's figure appeared, he immediately ran over to open the door, and stood honestly at the root of the wall, not daring to raise his head.
The sky was dark, the clouds were rolling, and the originally fine weather, for some reason, became gloomy.
The man stood with his head down, suddenly felt a cold neck, raised his hand to touch, and the back of his hand was cold again.
He hurriedly looked up, and was greeted by thousands of silver needles, splashing and pouring on his head, and it was actually raining.
He said "ouch", turned around and went back to the house to get the umbrella, and heard the sound of hooves in front of the door, knowing that Pei Shu had entered the door, and ran out with the umbrella.
When I went out of the house, the broken beads splashed in front of the bluestone steps, and the rain had already become a trend, looking at it from afar, it was a white expanse, and the "crackling" on the eaves was like popping beans, and the courtyard was empty, where was there the shadow of Pei Shu?
The man held an umbrella and stood under the dripping eaves to peek, but saw a horse in the courtyard walking slowly, but it turned out that Pei Shu had already entered the door.
He secretly said "It's not a coincidence", put down the umbrella, closed the door, and went back to the house to hide from the rain.
That is, Pei Shu galloped all the way into the atrium, Fang pulled off his horse, handed over the mount to the small school to take away, and he himself braved the rain to walk through the hall, and Fang turned to look out.
The wisteria flowers fell in the shade, and the lilac petals were beaten by the rain and fell to the ground, and the petals tossed and fluttered in the breeze of the fine grass, and in the end, the rain and the wind blew away.
Pei Shu's gaze stopped at the falling flowers for a long time, and he didn't know what to think, his eyebrows and eyes were soaked in black, cold and slaughtering, and a little sad.
"My lord, I got the letter." Lang Tingyu's voice sounded outside the hall, mixed with the "crackling" sound of the rain falling on the umbrella surface, which sounded harsh.
Pei Shu came back to his senses from his thoughts, leaned over the corner of his lips, showed his usual smile, and sat down in his robe: "Bring it." ”
"Yes." Lang Tingyu answered neatly, strode into the house, took the letter from his bosom, and stood solemnly on his side: "Because the lord had already instructed, when they received the letter before, they were not in a hurry to send it back, and waited for a few more days, and when they saw that there was no movement, they sent it." ”
Pei Shu took the letter, didn't look at it, and turned his eyes to the door.
The heavy rain poured, its sound was like a drum, and there was a hidden thunder in the distance, and the "boom" seemed to gallop by, and then dispersed in a flash.
"When did they receive the letter?" Pei Shu asked.
In the wine-like voice, somehow, there was a hint of tiredness.
Lang Tingyu crossed his hands and said, "Report to your lordship, they received the letter six days ago. ”
Pei Shu sat still for a moment, suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, and let out a laugh, as if he had heard something funny.
"Six days ago." He suddenly lowered his face and muttered, shaking the letter in his hand, with a joking face, but his eyes were cold: "This person's heart is really anxious." ”
The last word fell, and his face was covered with thick frost.
Lang Tingyu looked at him quietly, pondered, and finally got up to the boldness, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to invite Miss Chen over?" ”
Pei Shu sat upright, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his body was full of murderous energy, but he did not say anything.
Seeing this situation, Lang Tingyu became more and more courageous, quietly moved a small step forward, and said: "My lord, please think about it, this idea was originally thought up by Miss Chen, Miss Chen is extremely smart and witty, with her staring at her, it is easier for adults to ask." The subordinates felt that if there was a big girl Chen to help with this matter, it would be easier to find out. ”
