Chapter 21: The fiancé complains through the window
"Miss, the master called you over." Xiangye and the little servant who served in front of him came over to pass the word.
"It's been this hour, what did the master tell you to do?" Bao Lu looked at the sky, it was almost the beginning of the year, just now the master invited Xiao Junyan to dinner without calling Su Peiyi over, now he was ready to go to bed, why did he come over and call someone?
"Maybe you forgot to explain something, you can go with me." Putting on her coat and her hair in a bun, Su Peiyi got up and put on embroidered shoes.
Lighting the lantern, Bao Lu came all the way to the outside of Xiangye's study, and only after the young lady went in did he blow out the candle flame, and stood honestly at the door and waited.
It can't be that something has happened in the marriage, right? Bao Lu thought secretly, as if every time he accompanied the young lady to the study, he had never heard anything good.
"Today, Jun Yan came over and asked you about marrying the maid, have you decided on it?" Su Xiang beckoned Su Peiyi to sit next to him.
"It's all set, father." Su Peiyi nodded with a smile, after all, she was a daughter who was about to get married, and she was a little shy in the face of her father.
"That's good. Have you seen your dowry yourself? Tell my dad what is missing. Su Xiang looked at the obedient and sensible daughter in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of her mother who died early, "Your mother passed away early, and there is no elder in the house to do these things for you, so it......'s hard for you."
"Father ......" Su Peiyi, who lost her mother at a young age, has never mentioned it as a father, no matter how old she is, she still feels lonely and helpless when she thinks that she is already a motherless child. Now that he is about to get married, even if his father has prepared everything for himself, his biological mother can't accompany him personally, and he still has tears in his eyes when he thinks about it.
"Father can't take care of you for the rest of your life. I think Jun Kun is a good one, although he is only the second son of the general, and he will not inherit the title in the future, but the man should be self-reliant, and if he wants power and status, he has to rely on himself; He is a sensible man, and he has his own decisions in mind. Su Xiang said with some caution: "If I am not there one day, you just have to live a good life with him, and he will take good care of you." ”
"Why did my father say that?" Su Peiyi's suppressed tears finally burst out of her eyes, and she threw herself into her father's arms and cried, "Even if I get married, I am still your daughter, I don't want you to leave me alone!" ”
"Silly boy," Su Xiang forcibly endured the grief in his heart, raised his hand and stroked his daughter's hair, "I can't live a hundred years, there will always be a day when I leave." ”
He lifted Su Peiyi's shoulders and made her look him in the eye, "You have to remember what I told you today - live your life well with Jun Yan." In the future, if I am not there, anything that happens outside is none of your business, and he will deal with those pickles, so you have to remember to protect yourself. ”
"Father......" Su Peiyi was a little shocked, why did her father say these words as solemnly as if he had confessed his last words? The crying stopped for a while, and he looked at Su Xiang in a daze.
"Remember!" Su Xiang raised his voice and said, looking at his daughter's tearful face, he seemed to be reluctant to give up, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Be good and take care of yourself." ”
"What is it that you are hiding from me? What did Brother Junjun tell you when he came over? Su Peiyi looked at her father's wrinkled face, and the sorrow on her brow was clear at a glance, as the only daughter, she couldn't help her father share anything, and Su Peiyi's tears dripped down again.
"It's getting late, go and rest, you're still busy these days." Su Xiang didn't answer her question, and he let go of his hand and stroked his forehead very tiredly, "You just need to remember what your father told you today." Go ahead! ”
Bao Lu, who was about to doze off at the door, saw his young lady out of the study, and hurriedly turned on the fire fold and lit the lantern.
"Miss...... "Why are her eyes so red?" Have you ever cried? Bao Lu peeked at Su Peiyi's expression, and couldn't describe the feeling of wanting to cry.
"Let's go back...... "Reflexively closed the door of the study, and after standing for a while, Su Peiyi whispered to Baolu.
Bao Lu lit the road with a lantern in front, and after walking a few steps, he found that Su Peiyi had stopped, looking back at the study where the lights were still on, and her face was full of tears.
After waiting for a while, Su Peiyi walked to Baolu's side, all the way back to the door, Baolu didn't dare to speak, knowing that when a woman is in a bad mood, she doesn't need people to keep pretending that 'I understand your pain', and accompanying her behind her is the greatest comfort she can give.
lit the small candle in the room, Bao Lu went to bring hot water again and asked the young lady to wash the tears on her face, and waited for Su Peiyi to lie on the bed before blowing out the lights and returning to sleep on the small couch outside the curtain.
Thinking in my head, is it true that women will have 'premarital phobia' before they get married, and it is inevitable to cry? Suddenly, I heard a small sound outside the window, as if someone had stepped on a dead branch among the flowers. Bao Lu pricked up his ears and stared intently at the window - isn't he finally about to see the amazing professional worker of the ancient 'flower thief'?
"Peiyi, it's me." A deep male voice rang out.
It's a pity that it didn't live up to Baolu's intentions, not a flower thief, but Su Peiyi's quasi-husband.
"Brother Junkun?" Su Peiyi, who was lying on the bed and was not asleep, was so shocked that she rolled over from the bed.
"I want to come and see you," the moonlight outside the window sprinkled on the silk cloth of the window, reflecting Xiao Junyan's tall figure. He stood sideways at the window, lowered his head and said to Su Peiyi through the thin window, "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”
"Hmm......" Xu is Xiao Junyan's gentle voice reminded her of the worry when she just came out of her father's place, Su Peiyi gently covered her mouth with her hand, for fear that the people outside the window would hear her sobbing.
"You're going to marry me in two days, don't be afraid, I'll treat you well." Xiao Junyan lowered his voice, as if coaxing in her ear, wanting to make the soon-to-be-own woman in the house less worried.
"I know......" Su Peiyi sat up straight and looked at the shadow of the man across the window, "We have lived and died together, and I know your friendship for me...... But are you and my father hiding something from me? ”
"Peiyi," as if knowing that she would eventually ask such a question, the figure printed on the window tilted his head sideways into the room, as if looking at each other from a distance, "Father-in-law and I do not have something to tell you, but it is not a matter of importance. You just need to know that we are all for your good, and you just need to be ready to marry me with peace of mind. Don't think about it, okay? ”
"I'm afraid," Su Peiyi got up and walked to the window, stretched out her hand to stroke the shadow on the silk cloth, and said with a choked voice: "Brother Junyan, I'm afraid." My father's appearance seems to be about to part with my life and death, I haven't seen my father so sad, is it our marriage? Did something happen to the emperor or your father? ”
The person outside the window also raised his hand, gently pressed the slender jade hand inside, and stood closer and said, "Don't be afraid, our marriage will not change." I will definitely bring eight sedan chairs and come to marry you. ”
