Chapter 14: The String Intention Cuts the King's Heart (I)
In the back garden, Dong Yanzhi made a 'flower destroying spicy hand' pretentiousness.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing out loud, and the laughter was bitter, cold, and piercing. Listening to it in my heart, it is like a sharp blade cutting, and the pain is unbearable. Scattered in the sky, tugging at people's heartstrings, ghostly.
As if he had suddenly touched a thunderbolt, Han Gongzi's whole body shook back and took a few steps back. looked at Dong Yanzhi, who was laughing loudly, with a foxy face, as if he and she were already separated by two worlds.
At this moment, Dong Yanzhi is like a servant who has guarded the garden for thousands of years alone, picking up the broken flowers and leaves on the ground and muttering, which is a pity. Suddenly, two tear lines spread down her cheeks like a clear stream.
Han Gongzi retreated from the back garden in frustration and walked to the front hall in despair.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly greeted her, and Han Gongzi was so angry that she flicked her sleeves and said angrily. "Old thing, don't tease Ben Gongzi with your ability to turn your face and not recognize people, Ben Gongzi wants to be disgusted when he looks at it. Do you really think that this son is stupid? Cover your hot face every day to stick to your family's cold ass. When I was blind, you didn't look at it, you Du Mansion was so good that you were calculating, and you were still calculating and climbing up every day. After that, he spit out a mouthful of heavy saliva in front of Mrs. Liu, so as to dispel a little resentment.
Han Gongzi slapped him on the head, and everyone was stunned for a moment. The three of Liu's mother and daughter were even more inexplicable, looking at each other but speechless. Everyone didn't know what happened to Han Gongzi after he entered the garden, making such a mess and harming the fishing pond.
Mrs. Liu, Bi Jing, the head of the family, asked hurriedly after slowly coming back to her senses. "Master Han, what's wrong with you? Embarrassed us for a while? If there is something that is not done right, let's sit down and discuss it, why do you want to tear people's hearts like this? Han Gongzi glanced at Mrs. Liu, and shouted angrily. Yellow-faced woman, do you want to know? Go back and ask your niece, why pretend to be confused here. ”
Everyone is even more inexplicably wonderful, and they were still good when they came in just now. Just this blink of an eye has become so unreasonable, what kind of stimulation did this Han Gongzi suffer in the garden.
Mrs. Liu guessed for a while, but she had to say with all her humble play. "Han Gongzi, my Du Mansion has always believed in Gongzi, and I respect Gongzi as a great benefactor of Du Mansion, and it must be Dong Yatou who made Gongzi angry. Come, Han Gongzi, please take a seat, and I will make you a cup of tea to dissipate your anger. Although Mrs. Liu said this very standardly, she never intended to acquiesce in Han Gongzi's admiration for Dong Yanzhi's frivolous behavior.
She thinks of young people, she has to look like a young man, and she can't always look at things with her own kind of dazzling eyes. People are changing, times are changing, and if you can't keep up, you're going to be out.
"Yes, Master Han, you can drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger. If Yanzhi offends you, our sisters will not be able to compensate you for it. The Du sisters on the side said immediately, looking very helpless.
"Hmph, I won't eat the tea, and I won't sit on the cold bench. Your Du Mansion is such a cold place, it is a place where I can sit for a long time, so it is better for me to go first. ”
Han Gongzi also replied bluntly and unceremoniously, where he was still in the mood to look at the Du sisters again. Then he flicked his sleeves, let out a cold 'hum' in his nose, raised his heels and walked out of the gate.
Mrs. Liu wanted to leave Han Gongzi to sit and have a look again, so as to facilitate future interactions, so she was so anxious that she stepped forward to stop Han Gongzi again. "Young Master Han, can't you stay in Du Mansion for a while for the sake of your dedication to helping Du Mansion? It is not too late for me to ask you for the guilt after I have clarified the reason. Besides, although there is something wrong with the people of Du Mansion, it will not make you hate it to such an odious level for a while. ”
Han Gongzi was angry at this time, and he could still listen to half a word of exhortation, and he sneered without looking back.
"Smelly-faced woman, are you really uninteresting? People don't want to bird you anymore, do you still want to give it to you? It's no wonder that the head of your Du Mansion can be bullied so calmly, it turns out that your family likes to stick clothes and water to throw hue splashing seeds to people. Ha, ha, today I, Han, have finally seen through the character of your Du Mansion. Anyway, if you go, you won't have to insult the reputation of the Han people here. ”
Mrs. Liu was stunned on the spot for a moment, looking around the family in the hall wordlessly with a sad look, and tears couldn't help but drip down in an uproar.
The Du sisters were even more stunned by Hugh's insults, and their faces turned red with shame to the bottom of their necks.
The maid-in-law who was waiting on the side was even more embarrassed and looked at each other, her face was pale.
However, what remained unchanged was the sad and indignant gaze of everyone, and they all stared at the gate of the back garden.
It was like a flame about to burst out and burn at the angry man.
The gate of the back garden was slowly opened by a group of subordinates.
Mrs. Liu was in front, and the Du sisters and others were behind, slowly entering.
The scenery of the back garden is very roundabout, and it is already in the middle of winter, and Ling Han is a single horn; Dry branches and leaves, playing in the water to frighten crows.
The only one in the park, the golden chrysanthemum was also demolished and killed by Dong Yanzhi, the ground was full of yellow, broken leaves, and it was not desolate.
Dong Yanzhi squatted in this piece of residual yellow with a dry expression, no longer had the bright air of the past, and her eyes were full of desolation.
Mrs. Liu slowly crossed over and asked with a sad face. "Yan Zhi, what's wrong with you? Why is it such a mess? Why don't you speak? ”
Seeing this scene, the Du sisters were also in a haze in their eyes, and they were sad and angry. However, looking at Dong Yanzhi, who was as frightened and helpless as a fawn, the sisters finally did not raise any more worrying questions.
Dong Yanzhi replied numbly. "Auntie, I'm making a show for Han Gongzi. People keep saying that they like me and love me, but I don't have the heart, and besides, he is not worthy of my liking. So, so I destroyed the flowers and killed Han Gongzi's heart like this. After a slight pause, he spat out again, "Auntie, you won't blame me for being so ruthless, will you?" You won't blame me. ”
For a while, Mrs. Liu really loved and hated it. But she still forced her face to be happy, and intentionally or unintentionally said a few more words that did not matter, as if there was a bit of cautious reproach hidden in the words.
"Yanzhi, even if you don't like Han Gongzi, you can't use these flowers and plants to dismantle them blindly. What kind of iniquity have you made? Make everyone suffer with you. Auntie knows that you are thinking about the fleeing Li Qiusheng in your heart, but you can't be like this to Han Gong, who is kind to you, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that something big will happen to our Du Mansion again. ”
As soon as Mrs. Liu's words landed, Dong Yanzhi suddenly struggled and smiled desolately. "In that case, my aunt still blames me. Anyway, those who have a dead heart, just leave Du Mansion far away, and there will be no major events in your Du Mansion. "When he finishes speaking, he will leave with his feet raised, and he will not look at everyone again.
Mrs. Liu seemed to be choked by Dong Yanzhi's words for a while, but she was afraid that Dong Yanzhi would misunderstand. had to say anxiously: "Yanzhi, don't get me wrong. That's not what my aunt meant, not to drive you away, but, but, 。。。。。。 ”
Oops, Mrs. Liu couldn't speak anymore when she was nervous, and choked the words in her throat.
Dong Yanzhi sneered silently, and squinted across Mrs. Liu's face, "Auntie, what is it?" Why don't you say it, are you afraid that it will be difficult to take it back if you say it? It doesn't matter, you say it, no matter what the result is, Dong Yanzhi can accept it, and she will never blame her aunt. ”
As soon as the two sisters saw the situation in front of them that the aunt was about to fall out, they glanced at each other, and Du Ruhe hurriedly persuaded him. "Sister Yanzhi, my mother really didn't mean that, don't force her to ask. Come, go back to Xiaoxuan Courtyard with our sisters, and rest for a while, as if nothing had happened. ”
Dong Yanzhi glanced at the two of them with squinted eyes, and took over the topic of the two of them with a smile. "Two sisters, Yan Zhi also wants to act as if nothing happened, but can I lie to myself like this? If I could, Dong Yanzhi, would not have such a bitter fruit as today, and my Qiusheng brother would not have fled in such a hurry. As he spoke, his eyes were already full of tears, falling down drop by drop.
The two sisters listened to Dong Yanzhi's words, and they also sighed, and suddenly walked up and hugged Dong Yanzhi tightly, and the three women were sobbing as if no one was around.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh, turned around as she looked at the two sisters hugging and crying, and quietly wiped the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.
Night fell as scheduled, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything seemed to be immersed in hibernation.
Dong Yanzhi and Yi sat on the windowsill, looking out the window at the night. The lights in the room flickered, Cen Luo warmed the tent, and the shadow lingered.
Li Qiusheng's shadow was like the brightest star in the sky, and suddenly it skewed into her heart. Everything that used to be seems to have come to the fore again. Warm, like a stream of heat warming Dong Yanzhi's cold heart.
The corners of Dong Yanzhi's mouth raised a slight curved smile, and then looked at the brightest star in the sky, and slowly moved towards the jumping lantern, and gorgeous flowers flashed in her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was bright again, and the bright sun was rising from the east.
At noon, the housekeeper who was guarding the door flew in again to inform Mrs. Liu. Outside the gate, a convoy under the banner of 'Gaoyang Palace' stopped in the middle, waiting for the people from Du Mansion to pick it up.
When Mrs. Liu heard the report, she was secretly surprised, thinking that this is singing and which play? How did these terrifying days follow one after another? What did I do wrong, I ended up like a prisoner, and I couldn't live a day in peace. Hey, since everyone has come to the door, you can't spend it like this. I had no choice but to take over the driver.
As the saying goes, a good thing is a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it, and what should come is always coming. Since this is the case, it can only be the soldiers who will block it, and the water will flood the earth.
Mrs. Liu had already decided to order down, open the big red door of Du Mansion, the little maid was busy sprinkling water on both sides, the old woman was in a hurry to sweep the floor and clean, and the maid ring was immediately draped in color and arranged on both sides.
After everything was arranged, Mrs. Liu took the Du family to take the car in front of the car.
At this time, a man dressed in splendid clothes came out of the first most exquisite carriage, looked at the Du family in front of him, and fixed in the curtain with a look of loss. The sight in his eyes is like that of a predatory eagle vulture, shuttling back and forth through the crowd, as if looking for something.
One of the stewards standing next to him seemed to realize something, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered. "Third son, third son, you have to return the courtesy, you can't let the people of Dufu kneel here stupidly. If the third prince is not satisfied, he will wait until he enters the Du Mansion. ”
The man in Chinese clothes, known as the third son, seemed to have an understanding, and immediately cleared his throat and waved his hand and said.
"Everyone is polite, get up, don't kneel like this, I'm afraid my son can't stand it."
Mrs. Liu took the lead for a while and said, "Third son, it's too modest. If you can't stand such etiquette in Dufu, then who can stand everyone present. The old body is also grateful for the wrong love of the third son, and he came to the Du Mansion in his busy schedule, which really made the walls of the Du Mansion shine brightly, and the sun and moon shine. ”
"Mrs. Liu, don't exalt your son." The third prince finished speaking, looked around at everyone again, and then continued.
"My son's visit to your mansion today is all due to Han Gongzi's proposal, saying that there is a woman with excellent piano skills in Du Mansion who is difficult to meet today, and even Han Gongzi, who won the 'Qin and Chess Crown', is also willing to bow down. It's a pity that there was a little mistake on the field that day, and the beautiful people of Shilling Du Mansion missed the opportunity to win the championship, which is really regrettable. Therefore, this son came today, and he had nothing else to ask for, just to see the beauty of the music. ”
When the words stopped, a meager smile appeared on the face of the third prince, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle were peeking at the people in front of him.
Although the weather is still cold, the third prince is always shaking a bone-folding incense fan in his hand. It was swaying up and down one by one, and no one knew what he was fanning.
Mrs. Liu's heart was shocked again, her brows swept over a layer of dim, a little horror flashed in her eyes, and she stayed in it again.
