Chapter 40: Redemption and Parting
In November, it was the time when Han Lianyue left the Drunken Dream Pavilion, and it was also the time when she regained her freedom and left Xu Du. She packed her bags and looked around the room. The rouge jewelry on the dresser, she stroked gently, "I probably won't need these in the future." She picked a few that she particularly liked, and the others that didn't make any sense left on the dresser.
She stepped out of the house and closed the door, this room will soon have a new owner to live in, and the last thing that Drunken Dream Pavilion lacks is a girl. As soon as she turned around, there was a familiar person standing in front of her, "Xin'er? ”
"This is my savings, it's not as good as here, you take it, and you'll need it outside in the future." Lin Xin'er forced the money in her hand into her hand, her eyes were red at this time, and she tried her best to control her emotions, which was completely different from the appearance of arguing and gambling with herself at that time.
"No, these are your savings, you can keep them. He ransomed for me, and my savings were enough to last me for a few years. Also, thank you for doing this for me. If you can meet a good family in the future, you can leave the Drunken Dream Pavilion early, even if it is coarse tea and light rice, it is better than here. ”
"Sister, you know everything? I just can't get angry with you for treating him like this, but he treats you like this, I want you to come to your senses and stop being blinded by him. Also, I told Aunt Xue that I would move to your house, at least not let other people live in your house. My sister's kindness to me will never be forgotten in this life and in the next life. Lin Xin'er couldn't control her emotions, and finally fell into tears.
"Why did you cry, you didn't 'fight' with me at that time." Han Lianyue took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"Sister, you make fun of me." Lin Xin'er burst into tears and laughed, she knew that her sister would not accept the money, so she had no choice but to withdraw her hand. "He ransomed for you, but did he say when he would marry you?"
"No, he won't marry me, I'm afraid he won't in this life. He will not be trapped by the love of a man and a daughter, and he aims to plot the world. Han Lianyue's heart is not a matter of one or two days, of course she hopes to marry him, become his wife, and teach him husband and children from now on. It's just that she knows that person will definitely not marry her, even if she still had a glimmer of hope before, but now she has already thought it through, not to mention that she is infatuated because of his difference.
"What? After redeeming himself, he will not marry you? How can this be, I'll go to him to theorize theories! ”
"Xin'er, I am very satisfied that he redeemed himself for me, and I don't want anything else. In the future, if you meet someone who is willing to redeem yourself for you, and does not care that you are a girl here and is willing to marry you, you should cherish it. ”
"Sister, if he doesn't marry you, how will you survive in the future? And you live alone, how do others perceive you? Xu Du is so big, I'm afraid of being pointed at......"
"I can't starve to death alone, even if it's not for myself, I ...... Silly heart, who said that my sister was going to live in Xudu, have you forgotten? My sister's hometown is in Yingchuan, and I want to go back to Yingchuan to live. In the past, my family was forced to sell the ancestral house in order to make a living, and I was forced to sell it to Zuimengge, if the ancestral house is still there, I want to buy it back, and run a snack shop while living, and sell some hometown snacks. Even if I can't buy my ancestral home, I can buy another house to run it. ”
"Sister, when I leave the Drunken Dream Pavilion in the future, Xin'er will definitely come to Yingchuan to see you!" As she spoke, Lin Xin'er quietly cried again, and her reluctance to part was clearly written on her face.
"Okay, then my sister will cook you a big table of dishes for you to taste."
"It's a deal."
When Han Lianyue stepped out of the Drunken Dream Pavilion, all the girls watched her leave, those eyes were full of envy and expectation, they didn't look forward to leaving the Drunken Dream Pavilion as soon as possible. A sneer broke their envy and expectation, "Hehe, what about redemption?" It's not that I dislike my background, and I didn't marry her. The girls stopped looking, went back to the room to pack up, and prepared to receive the guests. ”
"Aunt Xue, that's not what she said, I believe that even if she doesn't rely on men, she will definitely be able to live well, better than being 'dark' here." Lin Xin'er's words came from the bottom of her heart, and she believed that her sister would be able to live better than each of them.
The carriage outside the Drunken Dream Pavilion was waiting for Han Lianyue, and she kept looking around, hoping to see the familiar white-clothed figure, but she couldn't appear in her sight.
She longed to leave and see him again, but in the end it didn't happen. With the help of the coachman, she got into the carriage. "Miss Han, Guo Junshi asked the villain to hand over something to the girl."
The coachman untied the burden from his body and handed it into her hands, the burden was very small and looked a bit like ...... "Where is he?" "The military advisor is in the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister greets distinguished guests." Han Lianyue smiled helplessly, she was looking forward to it too much, Guo Jia was strategic, and everything he did was under his control, how could he come to see this last face.
After thanking the coachman, she unloaded the baggage on the carriage and the carriage began to move forward. Among the burdens, it was Guo Jia's feather fan that she often carried, she had been holding back her emotions, and finally collapsed because of this feather fan, and she began to shed tears and couldn't cry. Two days before leaving, she asked Guo Jia for personal belongings, but Guo Jia did not respond, what she thought was impossible, but it came true. She held the feather fan in her arms, "Fengxiao, I wish you all the best." If you return to Yingchuan in the future, please come and see me. ”
Along the way, she remembered a lot, remembered the changes in her family, not only was the ancestral house sold, but she was also forced to sell to the Drunken Dream Pavilion and became the girl of the Drunken Dream Pavilion. Because she has read some books since she was a child, knows a few words, and can play the piano, she soon became a hot girl in the Drunken Dream Pavilion, she once thought that all men in the world were so lustful, until she met - Guo Jia, she found that there would be such a man in this world, dressed in white, dusty, handsome and elegant. The words are loud, even if you come to the Drunken Dream Pavilion, your behavior is like that of a gentleman. He picked her up at that time and said to her, "Can you do something for me, something that can only be done in the Drunken Dream Pavilion." She thought it was a matter of men and women, but she didn't expect it to be "eyeliner". "There are few people in this world who can hide from the 'gentle country', but you have to remember that there will be no result between you and me."
Since then, Han Lianyue has made eyeliner for him without complaint or regret, and has conveyed a lot of news to him. For Han Lianyue, Guo Jia is like a light in the dark night, her hope, and her fruitlessness. Guo Jia is not like other men, who will say "sweet words" in her ear, but poetry and songs, playing the piano and chess. She gave all her emotions for Guo Jia, but Guo Jia turned a blind eye, Guo Jia's eyes never showed emotion, and she also knew Guo Jia's ambitions.
How many days and nights did she suddenly understand that what didn't belong to her was useless after all. As a woman, she vaguely sensed that there was someone in Guo Jia's heart, even if she didn't know who it was, she could feel it. A month ago, she seduced Guo Jia for the last time, maybe Guo Jia felt guilty because she wanted to redeem her and couldn't marry, so she did what she wanted. She didn't drink the soup that time, she made up her mind to give birth to a child for Guo Jia, and a month later, Guo Jia ransomed her life and allowed her to regain her freedom. "Lianyue, in the future, I will follow the prime minister to calm the world, and the days I stay in Xu Du will decrease day by day, you have done enough. You take good care of yourself in the future, I hope you take care. ”
She was so sad that she retched, and she took the dried sour plum from her bag and ate it, which made her feel better. "Child, we will return to Yingchuan soon, that is your father's hometown, your father has his big things, we can do our small things." Han Lianyue remembered that the child in her womb was her and Guo Jia's child, and she felt that no matter how difficult it was in the future, she would definitely be able to go on.
What Han Lianyue would not know in this life was that Guo Jia had been watching her leave Xu Du from the corner. Guo Jia saluted to the departing carriage, "Fengxiao has a negative face, say goodbye today, and when you don't see each other in the future, I hope it is cherished, and I am willing to marry a lover." Guo Jia paced away and walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Guo Jia came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao greeted the arrival of the two at the door, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. In November of the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu listened to Jia Xu's advice and led his army to surrender to Cao Cao, and Zhang Xiu's surrender exempted Cao Cao from the threat to the south of Xudu, which was quite beneficial to the future battle with Yuan Shao. All of this was already in Guo Jia's strategy. Cao Cao said with a smile: "Feng Xiao is late, and he will be punished for drinking in a while." Jia Xu faced his junior Guo Jia, and he also bowed respectfully, Guo Jia was like that. There are some things that can not be distinguished by age.
