Chapter Ninety-Six: Floating Like a Dream (1)
In front of the threshold of the pavilion, the man slowly wore a light fur, and there was an endless elegance on his body. He casually shook the folding fan, looking at the exquisite painting boats on the river and the reflection in the waves, but his eyes were empty, and there was nothing.
Rays of sunlight float gently on the water, and their reflections drift with the waves.
In the pavilion behind him, the sound of the young dancer and the young dancer who was traveling with him drinking and laughing was heard, and a trace of boredom suddenly passed through his heart.
Floating like a dream, for the joy of geometry. All the joys of this world will pass away with the waves of water like this little light.
Like the honor and disgrace of his family, like the lives of his relatives.
A boy came behind him with a beautiful dancing girl: "Why did Brother Xie hide here alone?" Is it because the wine doesn't taste good, or is there no girl you like? ”
He turned his head, and his face had changed to his usual amorous smile: "Where, wine is good wine, and girls are also beautiful." Brother Zhou doesn't know me, I like all the beautiful girls in the world. ”
As he spoke, his gaze retracted from the direction of Miyagi, and he turned back into the drunken gold fan.
At this time in the harem, the good show he had been waiting for for many days should begin.
In a room in the Xie family's courtyard, Jiang Lili was tied to a chair by Wuhuada, and the little girl said while feeding her: "Childe said, the girl did everything he did, and these two days were very critical, so I had to wronged the girl to stay like this first." ”
Jiang Lili had something to love in her life, that day, she was knocked unconscious by Xia Xiaoqiu, and after waking up, she went to Xie Qi. This Xie Qi, I'm afraid he already understood her dissenting intentions, and he was playing with her before. She was too lazy to continue pretending, and said coolly: "Miss Mo's mother is the adopted daughter of Empress Dowager Xie, according to the seniority, your seventh son still has to call her aunt, I heard that the second son Xie married the daughter of the Mo family a few years ago, which can be described as a kiss and a kiss." Your son-in-law involved Miss Mo in his calculations, aren't you afraid that after the matter is revealed, will the Xie Mo family turn against each other? ”
The little girl looked innocent: "What the girl is saying, the slave can't understand a word." He handed her the spoon and said, "The girl opened her mouth. ”
Jiang Lili knew that everything she said to a girl was in vain, so she closed her eyes and said, "Take it away, don't eat it." ”
After Shen Hanxi left, Song Ran sat alone in the room, trying to find a thread from the chaotic thoughts, but all kinds of emotions were like a tide, rushing towards her chest in waves, making her unable to think. It wasn't until her hands and feet gradually became cold and numb that she finally figured out a clue in the complex clues.
Three years ago, the year she was divorced by Xiao Yan, it was also ...... The year her grandfather died.
Xie Xuanying came to offer condolences on behalf of the Xie family, and she had been sick in a daze for three days in the cold firewood room.
Her father blamed her for her grandfather's death, locked her up in a firewood house, and ordered that no one should bring her food or visit. However, on the day she was imprisoned, the third aunt, who was the most favored in the house, secretly opened the door, and under the pretext of teaching her daughter a lesson for the Hou Ye, she poured a bucket of cold water on her head.
At that time, the woman who was usually gentle and lovely, and spoke softly, looked condescendingly at her, a daughter who was not related by blood, and her eyes were full of hatred that could not be concealed.
Before leaving, she viciously left three words: "Little bastard." ”
Small mongrel. These three words are like vicious Gu arts, trapping her for sixteen years, as long as she is in the Mo family, these three words will continue to be imprinted in her blood and bones, accompanying her through this life.
She lay on the cold ground, trying to reach out through the small window at the end of her sight, trying to break free of something, trying to hold something. But all the fingers grasped was the endless void.
She thought it would be nice if someone could save her.
However, she went through it in her mind, and thought bitterly, I am afraid that there is no such person.
The entire Mofu is immersed in the grief of her grandfather's death, and the subordinates who take care of her will also feel that it is not the first time that Hou Ye has locked her up, and it is really nothing.
Her mother hadn't stepped out of the Buddhist hall for many years, and such a trivial matter would not alarm her.
What about Shaoyuan? By the way, Shaoyuan is not in the house, a few days ago, he went to Yongzhou with Zhong Bo. Even if we rush back non-stop, it will be three days away.
She slept and woke up, woke up and fell asleep, her dreams were mixed, and the past was scattered like cotton wool. It was strange that memories were flowing through her fingertips, and she could still remember the day when the lights were on, and she was lying on the back of a strange boy......
If it is in a dream, it is not bad to be able to lie on his back like this and walk all the way.
You don't have to struggle for life, you don't have to face the cold eyes of your loved ones, you just need to stay there safely, and it's a lifetime.
She heard her immature voice ringing in her distant memory: "Brother, what is your name?" ”
It is said that when you forget someone, the first thing you forget is his voice, then his appearance, and finally the smell of his body.
Many years have passed, and her memory has long since lost his silhouette, but she still remembers the warmth of his body. That warmth turned into a name, sealed in the depths of her memory. In her near-death dream, she turned into a fish, and under the sparkling light, she swam up, chasing the name that had been vague in the first place, and it seemed that she was about to find it, but suddenly a fire fell on her eyes, shattering all the illusions.
The door of the firewood room was pushed open with a "squeak", and someone stepped forward quickly, took off her clothes, and wrapped her in his arms.
A hand fell on her forehead, and she heard the man's slightly stern tone: "Your young lady has a fever, so don't you go and ask the house doctor to come and take a look." ”
She opened her eyes with all her might, and what caught her eye was a Peugeot face, her eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes seemed to be blooming with peach blossoms, and she called him in a dumb voice: "Brother......"
He seemed to pause slightly, and then responded softly, "My brother is here." ”
The gentle and soft tone, ironed like a night of clothes on the lavender cage in winter, warm and straight to the bottom of the heart.
Later, after listening to Uncle Zhong, after he and Shaoyuan received the news of their grandfather's death, they immediately rode back from Yongzhou, knowing that when she was locked up in the firewood room, it was late at night after arriving at home.
The Marquis of Dingyuan had already fallen asleep, and Uncle Zhong did not dare to advocate for the release of people, so he moved Xie Qigongzi, who was a guest, to come. After the house doctor came to see it, even if he came to the conclusion, her wind evil entered the body and attacked the heart, and the pulse was already very weak, with his medical skills, I was afraid that there was no way to return to the sky.
The Mo family panicked at this time, and invited more than a dozen local famous doctors to come to the house overnight to diagnose the patient, but no one could come up with a good prescription.
Or Xie Qi made a quick decision and took her to Hangzhou to seek medical advice. He has traveled a lot, and knows that Chu Qianyang, the first doctor in the rivers and lakes, lives in seclusion in Hangzhou, but Yaozhou is a day and a night away from Hangzhou, so Chu Qianyang has a strange temper, and he may not be willing to heal, if she dies on the road, this responsibility will fall on him.
Dingyuan Hou refused to nod for a long time, and it was too risky to go to Hangzhou for medical treatment, but if she died, he would not be able to explain it to her mother.
Uncle Zhong often sighed in front of her later: "If it weren't for Xie Qigongzi's extraordinary courage to persuade Master Hou, I am afraid that the young master's life would not be saved." ”
Xie Qigongzi took her all the way south to find Chu Qianyang, but the other party really refused to heal at first. He is the most prestigious miracle doctor in the rivers and lakes, willing to spend no money to treat dying beggars on the side of the road, but refuses to accept 10,000 taels of medical fees from the powerful. Whenever those who came from illustrious families came to seek medical advice, he always had to make things difficult in every way. If his disguised identity is exposed by him, he will never want to step into his grass again in this life.
When Xie Qigongzi took her to seek medical treatment, he did not make any pretense, and directly reported his name and intention, and the miracle doctor harshly proposed that as long as he was willing to let himself test the medicine on him, he could reluctantly agree to save his life.
At that time, Chu Qianyang wanted to try the toxicity of some herbs, if the medicine was heavy, he might die on the spot, he was the seventh son of the dignified Xie family, but he agreed without any hesitation.
Her life, so to speak, was bought by him with his life.
When she woke up in Chu Qianyang's cottage, a few days later, she smelled the floating and heavy medicinal fragrance, heard the crisp sound of the jade pieces hanging on the corner of the eaves, and then saw a son with the smell of peach blossoms, parting the bead curtain and walking to her bedside.
He held a folding fan with water-milled jade bones in his hand, and he looked like a merry man. Seeing her dazed expression, he hooked his lips and smiled: "I still call my brother in my sleep, and when I wake up, I don't recognize it?" He sat down beside her, the peach blossoms in his eyes blooming, "Sister Shaowei, I am your Xuanying brother." ”
She vaguely felt that when those gentlemen in the book were flirting with the girl, it should be such a tone.
She rummaged through her mind and remembered that the Xie family had a son, the name Xuanying, and she really wanted to call her brother.
She opened her mouth and called him in a dumb voice: "Brother Xie Qi." ”
He bent his eyes and praised, "That's good." He asked her with a smile, "I have a village on the edge of West Lake, would you like to stay with me for a few days?" As if knowing her concerns, he stroked her sideburns with his hand, "Master Hou, I'll go and say." ”
Later, in the name of recuperation, she stayed with him in Xiejiabizhuang on the shore of West Lake for three months.
He is casual by nature, he doesn't like to be restrained, he looks at the swords and swords on the rivers and lakes, and he is very safe when he returns to the idle court to watch the flowers bloom and fall. Old Man Xie rarely cares about him on weekdays, let him wander outside, the entire Xie family, there are too many children in the temple, and he is not inferior to such a person.
The spaciousness of his body and the ease of living in isolation are rare among the children of the Mo family, which makes her very envious and very fond of her.
If it weren't for the family to pick him up, she would even want to follow him all the time.
When parting, he propped his hand on the side of the car door and said jokingly: "Sister Shaowei, I saved your life after all, this favor, but remember to return me." ”
The world is unpredictable, she never thought that she had only been separated from him in Hangzhou for three years, and it would be a different situation when she saw him again.
