Chapter 49: Epistles
Tao Tao banged desperately on the gate, but the only thing that responded to her was the empty courtyard.
She sat on the ground, calling her second brother over and over again in her heart, how could he sell Mingsheng? That's his lifeline......
Where did he go? Why did he leave quietly, did he really ignore her?
Tao Tao cried, Zhao Kangping, hugged her in his arms, "I'll help you find ......"
"I want to find my second sister-in-law......"
"Tao Tao ...... Listen to me, it's so late...... Can I go again tomorrow? Or maybe your second brother and your second sister-in-law are together, and I'll accompany you to find Yunhe early tomorrow morning. ”
Tao Tao nodded in agreement, but he was still uncomfortable in his heart......
Zhao Kangping took her back to the Zhao Mansion, but she didn't sleep all night. She got up before dawn the next day, waiting for Zhao Kangping to take her to Yunhe.
Zhao Kangping saw Tao Tao's wilting appearance, obviously he didn't sleep well, and he didn't say much, so he took her to Yunhe after dinner.
At this moment, the private villa is shrouded in a shadow, and Yunhe received a divorce agreement signed by Yuan Qian a few days earlier.
He didn't say hello, disappeared without any explanation, she went to the Chen Mansion to find him a theory, but he had already left, leaving only Mother Li, Peach.
They stayed just to wait for Tao Tao, and listening to their intentions, Yuan Qian intended to let them go back to Jiangnan.
It was these two who quietly stayed in private, and brought them back when she went to find Yuan Qian.
She actually admired him, she actually had so much courage to hand over Mingsheng, who had been working hard, to others.
I'm afraid no one else has the courage to do it. In this society, everyone will say that they can't help themselves, in fact, it's just an excuse for refusing to bow their heads, Pei Yuanqian is like this now, he doesn't ask for anyone, he hasn't lowered his head once, not everyone has the courage to start over.
Yunhe invited Tao Tao in, she could see that she was very haggard, and she heard that she came back overnight, and I am afraid that she also rushed back as soon as she knew that he had sold Mingsheng.
"Second sister-in-law, my second brother ......"
Goodbye Tao Tao, Yunhe's heart had a different emotion, because she knew that she was the person Pei Yuanqian thought about.
She seems to be a little jealous, and a little envious, there is such a man who loves her silently, it should be said that not one, but two.
She didn't know if she would marry Zhao Kangping if she told her his secret.
"Tao Tao ...... I have to be honest with you, I don't know where your second brother went. ”
"How so?"
"Even Peaches and Mother Li don't know."
"Peaches ......" Tao Tao called her, and Peaches' eyes were red from crying.
"The young master said to go out for a walk, let me and Mother Li go back to Jiangnan, I asked her what you should do......"
He said, "Miss is taken care of......
Peaches looked at Zhao Kangping standing next to her, it was indeed reassuring, but she always felt a hint of a different emotion.
"What about Jiming and Seungwoo?"
The young master was injured, and they were not at ease, so they followed.
"What's wrong with him?" Tao Tao and Yun Ho are almost in the same voice. The two looked at each other for a moment and exchanged glances.
"Young Master...... The young master was drunk and accidentally stepped on the empty stairs...... Fell. "Actually, in order to chase Tao Tao, she fell down the stairs, but Yuan Qian warned her and couldn't say it, so she couldn't say it anyway.
"Is that serious?" Tao Tao became worried.
"It's okay...... It's just a skin injury...... "Peaches understated, in fact, she broke a lot of skin, he said it was not in the way, but she looked at it and it hurt.
"Second sister-in-law...... My second brother didn't tell you anything? ”
"Tao Tao ...... If I knew, I wouldn't be here. She still wanted to find him, why did she quietly throw down a divorce agreement and disappear without any explanation? What kind of business is this? And I didn't ask him if he agreed.
Tao Tao began to get depressed, and Zhao Kangping accompanied her, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, maybe he just wants to find a place where no one is to rest for a few days, and he will come back in two days." ”
Now, I just hope so......
Tao Tao herself didn't know how she got back to school...... Now I don't have the spirit of the past. Meng Ruihua knew that she was back, so he went to look for her, and Tao Tao cried when he saw her.
Meng Ruihua comforted softly, "Don't cry, I'm not a child anymore, I have to be someone else's wife." ”
"I don't want to get married...... You also know that my purpose in marrying him is ...... Mingsheng is gone, what's the point? ”
"Tao Tao, how can you say this casually? If he hears ......"
Ruihua ...... Do you know that pain? My second brother...... Mingsheng is his dream, his sustenance. In fact, his mind was not on this. Tao Tao leaned on Meng Ruihua's shoulder, his thoughts drifted away, and Meng Ruihua also listened carefully.
"His dream is to be a teacher...... "she laughed suddenly, "it's incredible, he's such a simple person." And his father felt that being the most unproductive in doing academics, but it didn't stop him, after all, everyone has their own preferences. He is quite lenient in this regard. ”
"So he was so you, just out of an instinct of Mr. Teach?" Meng Ruihua laughed and teased.
"Sort of......"
"Even if you are a teacher, you must be a good and responsible gentleman." Meng Ruihua sighed.
Tao Tao didn't answer directly, but he still agreed in his heart.......
Just when the news of Mingsheng's alien master was spreading, the assassination of Chu Nanxiong of the Southern Sect broke out, covering up the Mingsheng incident in an instant. For a while, rumors were spreading, and the reporters described the incident vividly as if they had experienced the scene.
It is said that the murderer was arrested on the spot, and Chu Nanxiong's subordinates interrogated him overnight, and after some torture, the other party finally confided that he was sent by Zhao Shiming.
Following the last rumor that Zhao Shiming sent someone to assassinate Pei Zhuoyun, this time he was pushed to the forefront again.
After this incident, the ambiguous relationship between the Zhao family and the Chu family finally came to an end.
Chu Nanxiong made public remarks accusing Zhao Shiming of being insidious and satirizing his background as a bandit. And Zhao Shiming also took the lead, scolding Chu Nanxiong for his treachery in public, and using public opinion to win sympathy. Even more denied the assassination of him.
Chu Nanxiong scolded him for being a thief and shouting to catch a thief, and Zhao Shiming scolded him for being a wicked person suing first, and the two parties were at a stalemate, you come and go.
Such fierce verbal and written criticism has become the focus of people's after-dinner discussions.
The two sides have a great deal of disagreement, and the junction of the two sides is also on alert.
I thought there was going to be a war again, but in the end, the two sides were just a verbal war between you and me...... There is a great sense of not giving in to each other.
After Yuan Qian sold Mingsheng's shares, he was not as rumored by the outside world, and he collapsed. He just wanted to find himself a quiet space, be quiet, and start again.
He completely ignored the rumors from the outside world, but ignored how much Tao Tao cared about him.
Tao Tao searched for him all over the world, but he didn't know it, so he was still immersed in his own world.
Yuan Qian came to Fuling, in fact, Shao Yizhao had sent him a letter to invite him to Fuling before.
Shao Yizhao originally stayed well in Beijing, but the reason why he went to Fuling was because after the war between the Zhao and Yao families, the Yao family was beaten and scattered. After Shao Yizhao's father was rescued by his cronies, the Shao family went to Fuling and defected to Shao Yizhao's uncle, Liu Xiang.
Shao Yizhao was bored in Fuling, he wrote a letter to Yuan Qian when he had nothing to do, and spit out his bitterness with him, where birds don't, there is not even a decent shopping mall, fortunately there is no money in his hand, and if he has money, he can't spend it.
Shao Yizhao also said that the most annoying thing is to be dragged by his father to do tai chi every morning...... It's boring to have a day like this. In his letters, he repeatedly expressed his desire to study abroad......
In such a quiet place, he didn't appreciate it well, and he vomited bitterness, which is really a blessing that people don't know how to be blessed.
Since there was nowhere to go, Yuan Qian came to Fuling. In fact, he can also see from Shao Yizhao's letter that this is a backward place, but after all, he has not seen it with his own eyes, and now, seeing it with his own eyes, he has to admit that this is indeed extremely backward.
Chaotic and disorderly rural roads, backward and poor villages, almost no modern infrastructure, the only thing that is better is that the mountains are green and the rivers are clear.
Yuan Qian almost lived a life without quarrel here, if it weren't for the rumors of the Zhao family and the Chu family, he would have been immersed in this kind of life of Morning Star Theory and Desertion, wearing the moon and hoeing.
Because of this, he sent a letter to Yongqian. Yongqian received the letter, and it had been more than a month since he disappeared.
Yongqian quickly replied, mentioning everyone's concern for him during the period when he disappeared.
Tao Tao is also specifically mentioned. Yunhe also sent him a few letters, in addition to saying hello to inquire about his news.
Yongqian asked him to have time to write a letter back to Yunhe and Taotao, no matter what step he and Yunhe went in the end, they couldn't waste someone's heart.
Yuan Qian thought about it for a long time after receiving the letter, and finally started to write a letter to Yunhe. The letter was just a word of safety, and he also explained the divorce agreement. Because of the glory that this marriage brought to the Pei family, he expressed his gratitude, and at the same time thanked Yunhe for his cooperation. I'm sorry for the inconvenience he has caused her.
Yunhe was very happy to receive his letter, but when she saw the contents, she couldn't be happy.
She didn't want to be grateful, she didn't want to be sorry, she suddenly felt like she was asking for a little too much.
She wanted to know if Tao Tao had received the letter, so she went to school to see her.
Tao Tao has been busy with the midterm exam recently, so she is a little busy, and she temporarily puts Yuan Qian's affairs behind her, and only in the dead of night will she think of him, think of them in the Pei family, and think of all kinds of ...... when she was a child
Yunhe took Tao Tao to a teahouse near the school, and she asked for two bowls of Xinyang Maojian.
Tao Tao was surprised: "Second sister-in-law, haven't you always drunk coffee?" Why do you suddenly like to drink tea? ”
"It's not under the influence of your second brother...... Yunhe took a sip of the tea bowl, he hadn't noticed it before, but now he suddenly felt that this tea was so intoxicating.
"Oh......" Tao Tao lowered his head and whispered in agreement. I can't put it into words.
"Tao Tao ...... Your second brother has a letter. ”
Tao Tao, who was lowering his head, heard that he had sent a letter, and his eyes were glowing golden. "Really? Is he there? What can you say? ”
