Chapter 30: The New Year (3)

Mu Fei couldn't remember when he had that special affection for Xia Ruixi, and he remembered that after returning from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, he felt that this woman was different from other women of this era he had seen.

But at that time, he didn't know that she was from the same plane as him.

When she heard him talking nonsense about the planes and trains of that era, she always listened to him quietly with a look of infinite yearning, and asked the right questions to help him lead the way. There has never been a hint that you are a madman, and your master is also an old madman, as if everything is so logical. He liked her bright, but with a little melancholy eyes, and liked her bright and strong smile. But at that time, I just liked it.

Later, when she was protecting her in the Beijing Palace, she talked about life with him so relaxedly, told the whimsical ideas of his "master", and listened to him tell the story of his past life in the name of others.

She is full of sympathy and understanding for the "he" in the story, and she can always decipher his mood and feelings at that time in one sentence. When he said that he was dead, he was not sad at all, but only the pleasure and relief of relief, and she looked at him with such heartache eyes, and said softly: "He's just too tired." I think that if there is an afterlife, he will definitely be happy, and he deserves to be cherished by a good woman and feel sorry for him. The Buddha said that the suffering of this life is precisely for the happiness of the next life. ”

It was that look, that sentence, that hit his heart so hard that he had been lonely and lonely for many years, making him almost uncontrollably want to cry, and had to find an excuse to slip away quickly. He wasn't one to believe in love at first sight, but he did get softly invaded into his soul by her in that moment.

Although it was only a short period of time together, she understood him better, was more considerate of him, and understood him better than the people closest to him at that time. At that time, a strange thought arose in his heart: if this woman was born in that era and could meet him, would he still be so tired and lonely? He didn't think so.

His mood has changed qualitatively, he wants to see her, but he is afraid to see her. He is like a hairy boy, often because of her unconscious words and an unconscious laugh, his heart will beat for a long time, and he will think about it for a long time.

He began to wonder what kind of mentality she had towards him. If he was with her in this life, would he get happiness that he had never gotten before? He suffers from gains and losses, and is anxious. But he soon realizes that according to the rules of this world, there is almost no possibility for him and her. If only if, it won't become a reality.

He thought it was funny, he thought that his heart had been vicissitudes, and it had already become cold and hard, who knew that it was still so easy to be emotional, easy to be soft-hearted, and easy to expect. He said to himself, this is not a good phenomenon, should it be repeated? No, absolutely not, it's too bitter, it's too tiring, since it's impossible, we should cut off this unrealistic idea as soon as possible.

It just so happened that her nosy, self-proclaimed guardian aunt had approached him and asked him to keep his distance from her. He immediately found an excuse for himself, he shouldn't have these thoughts, he should cut through the mess quickly and leave quickly.

He began to deliberately distance herself from her, and she, who was also such a sensitive and self-respecting person, once she found out about his attitude, quickly turned "you" into "you", polite, and never begged him to tell him the story of that world again, and never talked and laughed with him again. They are distant and polite to each other.

It stands to reason that she is like this, just to break his thoughts, and he should feel happy and relaxed. He did feel happy, but he felt an indescribable loss in his heart. He comforted himself and said that he was amorous and heartfelt, and an ancient woman like her, who was raised in the boudoir, was at most a momentary soft-hearted sympathy, where would he really understand his pain and bitterness? Well, she is a lady who pretends to understand him and sympathizes with him, and he takes it seriously.

So he was at peace and went away.

When she and Ou Qing were married, he watched coldly, they were a couple, the most compatible pair in this world, the same family background, the same thoughts, and the same talented and beautiful women.

He drank a lot of wine, it was really fake, she was really pretending, how could she understand him? He sneered, but he didn't have the courage to follow them back to Xijing, and he didn't want to face her face every day, so he found an excuse to travel around the world.

When he thought he had almost forgotten, he dared to come back to congratulate her and Ou Qingjin on their wedding, but fate played a big joke on him. The blueprint of the fish pond and ditch for the warm water fish kept telling him that it was a man from the same plane as him. At that moment, he realized that she really understood him at that time, and she didn't make it for him to see.

Looking at the little woman standing in the apricot blossom forest smiling happily, he lost his soul, and he knew that he had missed happiness forever.

Love is in an instant, and happiness is also gone in an instant. She said that the suffering of this life is for the happiness of the next life, but in fact he is not, he is the one who has been forgotten by the Buddha.

"Mu Fei." A low shout came from afar, recalling Mu Fei's soul that had drifted away, and he hurriedly gathered his mind and looked at Ou Qingjin and Changshou who were trotting over with a smile.

Ou Qingjin smiled and took out a purse and handed it to him: "The last thing, please help me send a bag of rice to my father-in-law's house, you can go, this is the travel fee." ”

Mu Fei glanced at him, and maliciously lifted a bag of rice and threw it at him: "I'll go, you be careful yourself." ”

When Mu Fei walked away, Ou Qingjin turned his head to look at Changshou: "You send the grain home, and then take a small bag, fill two liters of rice and come back to the old man who looks at the yard, just wait for me here, I will come back to look for you." ”

Longevity is in his arms: "Fourth master, where are you going?" Don't you want a small one to come and serve? ”

Ou Qing said solemnly: "No need, you go home and bring me a clean set of clothes inside and out, if the fourth lady asks, you can say that I did things with Mu Gongzi and dirty clothes, let her not worry, don't say anything else." But he refused to say where he was going.

Changshou handed the rice into the hands of the Wu family, and asked Xia Ruixi for Ou Qingjin's clothes, Xia Ruixi felt strange: "What about the fourth master, didn't you come back with you?" Why don't you wait? ”

Changshou replied according to Ou Qing's explanation, and said, "The little one still has to serve." "I took the clothes, asked the Wu family to take two liters of rice, and went to look for the old man in the courtyard on Wenyuan Street, and waited for Ou Qing to cook on the fire with the old man.

Seeing that it was dark, Ou Qingjin didn't come back, and the old man boiled multigrain porridge to call for longevity to eat, but he didn't have the heart to eat. He always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong. Ou Qing should be doing something, but he wants to hide it from everyone.

At three o'clock, Changshou couldn't sit still anymore, and was about to go out to find Ou Qingjin, when he heard a noise outside, with the sound of horses' hooves, wheels, and the rough laughter and scolding of the soldiers, and then the courtyard door was rudely smashed "bang".

The old man hit the lantern and ran to open the door: "Come on, come on." ”

Changshou hid in a hidden corner and looked out.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, three or four people dressed as sergeants rushed to help Ou Qingjin in, and asked the old man loudly: "Your master and our General Liu hit it off at first sight, and they were drunk, so let people come out and serve!" ”

Changshou hurriedly ran out, and as soon as he got close to Ou Qingjin, he smelled a strong smell of wine and fat powder, and couldn't help frowning secretly. I had to let the old man beckon those people to roast the fire and drink tea, and he helped Ou Qingjin into the room and lay down.

Changshou was about to fetch hot water, but Ou Qingjin grabbed him and pointed to the purse on his waist: "Take it, ten taels of silver per person." ”

Changshou said happily: "Fourth master, are you not drunk?" "He has been in the Ou family for so many years, and he has never seen Ou Qingjin get drunk.

Ou Qing held his forehead and waved to him: "Go quickly, send someone, get a cup of strong tea." I remember to borrow the carriage at the door with them, saying that I would return it that day, and then invite them to drink and play tricks. ”

Changshou hurriedly answered, Ou Qing held his forehead and pondered. He has a strong desire, Zhao Mingtao, not to let Zhao Mingtao have any chance to turn around. Zhao Mingtao will not die for a day, and the Ouxia family, he and Xia Ruixi, will never get the happiness of Anninghe.

Liu Lizi, a former horse groom of the Rui Wangfu, was famous for his horse taming in the capital at the beginning, and later because of his outstanding force, many changes, and loyalty, he was personally poked by the Rui King as a guard around him. On the day of the palace change, King Rui led dozens of iron horsemen to flee, including him. King Rui fled to the western frontier, with five or six guards by his side, including him.

He first became a commander of a thousand commanders, and had many miraculous achievements, and was promoted to deputy general, general, and this time he was promoted to the garrison officer of Xijing, if nothing else, Xijing will be his world in the future. From a groom to a party leader, the new emperor trusts, and he is also a legend.

This person seems to be rude, but in fact he is rough and detailed, and he has big ambitions. As soon as he arrived in Xijing, he first killed the former political envoy Zhang in front of everyone, knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and then visited many families in Xijing one by one in just a few days, sending rice, wine and meat to buy people's hearts, and encouraging the children of all families to go out and run and govern Xijing with him. Although not many people listened to him, he was also familiar with the Xijing family circle.

Ou Qing didn't look at the glory and legend of Liu Lizi along the way, he only looked at the various performances of this person after he arrived in Xijing City, and judged that he should be able to realize his wish by following Liu Lizi.

He relied on some fun-loving friends in the past, under the pretext of thanking Liu Lizi for his care and promotion of Ah Ke, and tried his best to finally catch Liu Lizi's line. Liu Lizi admires him very much, if nothing else, things should be in two days.

"Fourth master, everything is done." Changshou brought a large pot of hot water and a cup of strong tea in, and waited for Ou Qingjin to freshen up and change clothes, and by the light, Changshou saw a faint rouge lipstick mark on the collar of Ou Qingjin's blue-white satin cotton shirt.

The leftover women are not ladylike
