Chapter 10: The Beginnings

After Liu Yiyi woke up, she pricked Xie Cui'e with needles for days and spared no effort. More than ten days have passed, and in a blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, and it has entered the first month. Calculating the deadline, Liu Yiyi has already pricked Xie Cui'e more than ten times. On this day, Liu Yiyi invited Liu Bowen, Chu Liuyan, Chang Yuchun and others to Xie Cui'e's room.

Liu Yiyi said: "I have pricked Miss Xie more than ten times, I don't know if she can stand up today, I invite everyone to come because I want everyone to see." If Miss Xie is okay, it will be considered a wish of everyone. ”

"Can I stand up?" Xie Cui'e looked at Liu Yiyi, her eyes full of anxiety and uncertainty. Liu Yiyi smiled gently, her smile was as gorgeous as a spring flower, which could warm any frozen heart. She smiled and said, "You have to have faith in yourself." You believe me, you must be able to stand up, come, give me your hand, stand up slowly. ”

Liu Yiyi said and stretched out her hands, Xie Cui'e hesitated for a moment, and then handed her hand to Liu Yiyi. She moved to the side of the bed, put her feet down, and slowly, slowly stood up. Chang Yuchun cheered and said, "I didn't expect Miss Xie that you can stand up again, I am really happy for you." ”

Chu Liuyan originally heard Liu Yiyi say that Xie Cui'e was delayed by a needle in the middle, and she was afraid that she would not be able to heal properly, but now she saw that Xie Cui'e could stand up, and she was very happy.

Liu Yiyi laughed and said, "Great, I didn't expect Miss Xie to recover better than I expected." Just after the New Year, there is another happy event, which can be described as double happiness. Miss Xie, take a walk and try it, you haven't gotten out of bed for a long time. The corners of Liu Yiyi's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, but Chu Liuyan had almost never seen Liu Yiyi so happy.

Xie Cui'e was in high spirits, and walked forward according to what Liu Yiyi said. One step, two steps, three steps...... Everyone's eyes darkened, and Xie Cui'e's face was even more gloomy and terrifying. Because, she, Xie Cui'e, has become a cripple. His left leg was very lame, and he walked crookedly. It looks very funny.

The eldest lady who used to be windy and rainy has now become an ugly cripple who walks, how can she be willing in her heart?

She sat down on the ground and shouted loudly for a long time: "You all get me out, all give me out!" There is not a good person among you, it is you, who has caused me to become the way I am now! I hate you, I hate you to death! ”

Liu Yiyi patted her on the shoulder lightly and said, "Miss Xie, don't be too uncomfortable, it's me who is not good, why did I get poisoned at the critical moment when I gave you a needle, but I couldn't treat you, and I have to bear a lot of responsibilities for making you what you are now." When she said these words, her tone was full of apology: "I can't bear Miss Chu's entrustment, I can't cure you." ”

Xie Cui'e listened to Liu Yiyi's words, and suddenly seemed to be crazy, suddenly stood up, rushed to Chu Liuyan, pulled her shirt hard, and shouted loudly: "Chu Liuyan!" It's you, it's you who hurt me! You're afraid that I'll get revenge on you, so you're scheming everywhere and trying to get along with me! If you hadn't deliberately harmed me, how could Miss Liu have been poisoned at the critical juncture of giving me a needle? I know....." Her eyes were full of resentment, she looked at Chu Liuyan and said, "I know, everything is a good thing you do, it's you!" You poisoned Miss Liu! It's you who will do whatever it takes to kill me, I hate you, I hate you, I want revenge! I ......"

When Xie Cui'e said these words, tears had already wet her clothes. She originally thought that she would be able to get better, but the sudden blow made her completely unable to accept it, so she vented all her resentment on Chu Liuyan. When Chu Liuyan heard her say, "You poisoned Miss Liu", a thought suddenly skipped in her heart, although this thought was fleeting, but it still made her feel as if she had thought of something.

"I think, Miss Xie needs to be quiet, let's go out first." Liu Yiyi said: "It's good to let Yingge'er stay here and serve Miss Xie." After speaking, she dragged Liu Bowen's hand and walked outside. And Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun glanced at each other, and had no choice but to walk out.

Walking outside, Liu Yiyi said apologetically: "This matter, it's all my fault, if I hadn't been poisoned and missed the good time to give Miss Xie a needle, how could she become a cripple." Alas. Liu Yiyi said, letting out a long breath, which made others feel gloomy.

Liu Bowen said: "That's it, that's it, Yiyi, your poisoning was purely accidental, and you don't want to." Don't blame yourself. Miss Chu, you should avoid Miss Xie these days. I know you're thinking about Miss Xie wholeheartedly, but she can't figure it out, so I think it's better to give her time to think through the whole thing first. ”

Chu Liuyan sighed and said, "That's fine." "Chu Liuyan has a strong nature, she has experienced a lot of winds and waves, and she has never felt sad in her heart, but now when she meets Xie Cui'e, she has always felt very unhappy in her heart, and there are still some discomforts, and ...... And a lot of other things.

The days are like flowing water, rushing by, and unconsciously, it has passed the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. In the past ten days, Xie Cui'e began to accept the reality, her mood was obviously much better than before, she didn't cry or make trouble, and she was willing to eat. It is said that Happy took advantage of no one to clean her up, but Happy refused to admit it.

Happy insisted and said: "If you want me to be happy to clean up people, it's not impossible, but there is no silver tael, and I am happy and unwilling to do it." But after all, Xie Cui'e's mood has calmed down a lot, but it is an indisputable fact. And she doesn't hate Chu Liuyan so much.

After the Lantern Festival, Chu Liuyan asked the people of Liu's Mansion to resign. Chu Liuyan originally wanted to ask about Happy Happy, she still knew about Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others, but she didn't plan to ask later. She felt that there was a certain number of things that would be there. Otherwise, how could Xie Cui'e fall from a rich lady to this? And her old father, how could he be implicated by her and die. It can be seen that it is impossible to force it.

Chu Liuyan told Liu Bowen that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to invite Liu Bowen out of the mountain. She originally thought that if she was like Liu Bowen, the official position of the imperial court was not accepted three times, so how could she look down on Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser. Who knew that Liu Bowen actually agreed, and said that he would go on the road with Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun with happiness and smile. This made Chu Liuyan feel unexpected.

After Liu Bowen told his parents about his thoughts, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu did not object. It's just that Mrs. Liu urged him to do his marriage with Liu Yiyi before leaving. Liu Bowen pushed it and said: "Mother, do you know that it was originally inconvenient to bring female dependents in the army. Now Marshal Zhu is in a hurry to go, the so-called rescue of soldiers is like fighting fire, and how can he refuse? If the marriage is done first, it will be delayed for a month, and I am afraid that the military situation will be delayed at that time. Originally, I didn't leave a year ago, firstly, because my son wanted to accompany his parents for Chinese New Year's Eve, and secondly, Miss Xie's illness was delayed. It's been delayed for a long time, how can it be delayed any longer. ”

Master Liu was open-minded and said: "The so-called big husband has ambitions in all directions, so you don't have to force him." When he thinks that the time comes, he will naturally marry Yiyi. ”

These words reached Liu Yiyi's ears, and Liu Yiyi just smiled slightly, very indifferently, as if nothing had happened. She is such an indifferent woman, people can see it, and they can't help but admire and appreciate it in their hearts.

Chu Liuyan and Liu Bowen set the deadline for their departure on the twentieth day of the first month. This is the day set by Mrs. Liu after checking the yellow calendar. On the nineteenth, there was a snowfall. Liu Yiyi came to Liu's mansion to say goodbye to Liu Bowen. The two men talked for a while. Liu Bowen asked at first: "Yiyi, I made you wait for five years, will you hate me?" ”

Liu Yiyi laughed softly, her warm smile was enough to melt the ice and snow. She smiled and said, "Berwyn, we have known each other since childhood, and it has been twenty years now, what kind of person I am, don't you understand?" I know you have a great mind, and how can I blame you? ”

In Liu Bowen's heart, he felt more and more guilty, and he only felt very sorry for Liu Yiyi. He asked himself: "I still refuse to marry Yiyi, it was really because of the world, but now, what is it for?" Is it really like what I said like my mother, or have I never been able to let go of Miss Chu?

Thinking like this, he felt more and more sorry for Liu Yi in his heart. The two talked for a while, and Liu Yiyi proposed to take a look at Xie Cui'e. She said to herself that since she failed to heal Xie Cui'e, she has always felt very guilty in her heart. Liu Bowen was about to send Liu Yiyi forward, but Liu Yiyi stopped him and said, "No need, you can't understand the topic of our woman's family, what are you going to do." You'd better pack your bags and get on your way tomorrow. ”

Liu Bowen nodded a little embarrassedly and sent Liu Yiyi out. When Liu Yiyi walked away, he looked at her graceful figure in the snow, and said in his heart: "Why? Why won't I marry her? Could it be that it has nothing to do with Miss Chu, but I think she is too perfect? Yiyi is beautiful, smart, empathetic, and captivating, such a woman was originally impeccable. Why am I holding back on her?

Liu Bowen thought for a while, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, he thought he was happy, so he said casually: "Come in." ”

"Liu Gongzi, why are you here alone in a daze? Are you reluctant to give up Miss Liu? ”

Liu Bowen looked up and saw that the person who came in turned out to be Chu Liuyan. Chu Liuyan saw his stunned appearance, so he made fun of him casually. This made Liu Bowen a little embarrassed. Liu Bowen shook the feather fan in his hand, which had become a habit for him, and he said: "It turned out to be Miss Chu, I thought it was happy, please sit down, I will let Happy take a stove to warm up." ”
