Chapter 5: Parting
It is said that the last time Dong Yanzhi knelt in front of Liu Zhi'er, she actually begged Liu Zhi'er to allow her to leave the courtyard of the Blue and White Embroidery Building and follow the old man to his aunt in the capital.
Liu Zhi'er's sharp reaction at that time was to be stupid immediately, and she didn't know how to answer Dong Yanzhi's desperate begging for a while, but she couldn't bear to hurt her heart deeply. Liu Zhi'er thought about it for a while, but finally didn't say anything to agree to this stupid thing that dug out her heart and liver. only delayed for a moment before slowly speaking: "Yanzhi, you go back to the backyard first, and let me negotiate this matter with your grandfather." Someone will be sent to inform you when you have the result, don't worry, everything has to have a place to go. ”
Dong Yanzhi was also helpless for a while, and she couldn't be too fierce to provoke the old bustard's mother Liu Zhi'er's heart, so she had to take Liu Zhi'er's instructions and say goodbye to her grandfather, and went back to the backyard crying. There was only one outsider left in the field, Mr. Dong and some of the staff of the Blue and White Embroidery Building, Liu Zhi'er still talked to Mr. Dong about some unrelated topics with a kind face, she knew that she couldn't mention Dong Yanzhi's girl at this time. Otherwise, it will be himself who will be empty, not the old man Dong in front of him. She has already glimpsed the outcome of the matter from Dong Yanzhi's performance just now. Although Dong Yanzhi is a little girl who has never been in the world, she is soft and weak, and she seems to be weatherless, but once she rises up, it will be a earth-shaking event. Liu Zhier doesn't want to, and she doesn't want her early investment, what she gets will end up being a running water and an empty place, the flowers are ruthless, and people will go to the vast.
Old man Dong is not good at asking for too much, after all, this matter of his granddaughter was the result of his helplessness and begging others to take him in. The fault is not in the first place, and you can only blame yourself for thinking poorly at the time and not knowing the reason. Now if you want to redeem it, except for the silver, the hard work that people have paid for it can't be wasted. More or less always have to be returned. Otherwise, why is it that the human debt in the world is the most difficult to pay clearly, wrong, wrong, right, right, there is no place to say.
Hey, the hearts of the two worlds have evolved into a real competition, and a good show will naturally be staged, one is trying his best to win, and the other is trying his best to prevent the situation.
Liu Zhi'er waited for Dong Yanzhi to go, then relieved her pale face and said, "Old man Dong, although we pity you for being a miserable lonely old man, we also have to talk about the rules of this green building." The so-called entering the door is a guest, and entering the hall is the master. You can't pin Dong Yanzhi's thoughts on your aunt in the capital, right? The love of this world, it's good to say that it's good, and if you say it's changing, how dare you guarantee that Dong Yatou won't suffer if she goes there? I think it's better to leave Dong Yatou in this blue and white embroidery building than to go to the capital to find some kind of aunt, at least in the courtyard of the blue and white embroidery building, the old lady still exalts her, and offers her like a bodhisattva. Old man Dong, you better think about it carefully, I am telling the truth, old lady. ”
"Hey, I know that the living Bodhisattva is good, old man, I dare to brazenly mention this to you. If you are always a fierce master, you will not dare to kill the old man. Old Man Dong said with sincerity on his face, and he couldn't feel the stinging in Liu Zhi'er's words at all. Maybe Old Man Dong really just wants to take his granddaughter away from this place of fireworks in the green building, and there are no other complicated fantasies.
"Heh, heh, then you think that the old lady is a kind-hearted person, and you will definitely admit this matter and let Dong Yanzhi go?" Liu Zhi'er smiled and cried with a bitter cucumber face, already showing an unhappy look in her heart. She knew that as soon as she let go, Dong Yanzhi, a fairy-like woman, would fly out of her hands and escape from the blue and white embroidery compound that had been waiting for her for several months. This doesn't mean anything to most people, but it's a fatal thing for Liu Zhier.
Silence, silence, deathly loneliness and desolation. The only sound of uneven breathing in the hall flowed between faint undulations. The oppressive atmosphere seems to be rare for people's respiratory organs, and the obstruction is like a malfunctioning piston, and there is no movement.
"Auntie, is Sister Yanzhi leaving? How could I be willing to leave her? The little girl in Tsing Yi seemed to have heard some wind, and hurriedly ran out of the backyard, and asked with a cry full of doubts.
The old bustard's mother, Liu Zhi'er, glanced back at the crying of the little girl in Tsing Yi, and couldn't reply: "Little girl, who are you listening to?" You cry a lot before you leave, and if you are gone, it is strange if you don't cry your intestines. Ha, ha, little girl, don't cry, isn't my aunt still not agreeing? Okay, you go back to the backyard first, adults don't have to say much about children. ”
The little girl in Tsing Yi was told by Liu Zhi'er, but she also held back her tears. I saw her blink her eyes, and her cold eyes swept over the face of the old man Dong Cangsang who was sitting on the side, and a grief and resentment for no reason immediately erupted, all pouring out on the old man Dong.
"Old man Dong, you also saw it with your own eyes. Your granddaughter will not suffer in our blue and white embroidery building, even such a little girl knows how to be merciful, I am afraid that if you bring her to Aunt Guan in the capital, she may not have such a good courtesy in the blue and white embroidery building. It's not that I'm reluctant to give up Yanzhi, but my mother really treats her as her own daughter. All of a sudden, how can you tell the old lady to let go and dig up the flesh of this heart. Otherwise, you can stay here for a few days, and let Mrs. Rong think about it for a few more days, and then reply to you after thinking about it, which is good. Liu Zhi'er suddenly pointed to the little girl in Tsing Yi who turned around and left, and said to Old Man Dong one by one, and her heart seemed to be full of wordless painful contradictions.
"Hey, the living bodhisattva sees love like this, if my old man doesn't know how to be interested, it seems to be unreasonable. Okay, just follow the proposal of the Living Bodhisattva, so that both of us can relieve this annoying trouble, and I will be cheeky and stain some of the light of the Living Bodhisattva, old man. Old Man Dong also softened his tone for a while and said, the discomfort on his face was somewhat flat.
In the wing room in the backyard, candles are flying and lights are flickering. The banquet table is rich in color and flavor, and the aroma is permeated. Liu Zhier, Dong Yanzhi, and the little girl in Tsing Yi sat opposite the table with numb expressions. Although the feast is rich, the appetite is great. It seems that the three of them have a lot of joy, but they want to talk and stop, and the silence is still the most terrible coldness.
Liu Zhi'er looked around for a while, but reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and put a small piece of food into her mouth, chewed a few times, choked up, and put her hand down, and the chopsticks slid on the banquet table again. Then he turned around and pulled the hand towel in Si Shui's hand, wiped his mouth a few times, and sighed slowly before saying: "Hey, these sumptuous foods are really heart-wrenching, tasteless food, and it's a pity to lose them." It's really upsetting to make the old lady's gluttonous temperament, it's really upsetting, it's okay if you don't eat it, you eat slowly. ”
Dong Yanzhi looked at Liu Zhi'er's declining stature, so she moved her chopsticks slightly, took a sip of sake, and said slowly: "Auntie, it's all Yanzhi's bad and makes you angry." Please forgive me! Yan Zhi knew the bitterness in her aunt's heart, and she also understood what her aunt was thinking, but Yan Zhi really hoped that her aunt could be well, avoid these troubles, and let Yan Zhi go. ”
"Yan Zhi, since you entered the gate of this blue and white embroidery building, my aunt thought that she had grabbed a life-saving straw, thinking that our mother and wife would end up in this way. Unexpectedly, it made you go through so much suffering, but it was not my aunt's. You are a little girl's family, if you grow up in those official eunuchs, you don't know how happy and expensive you are. Even if it is settled in an ordinary people's house, it is like making a living in these ridiculous places. Speaking of which, it's all my aunt's fault, I shouldn't have let you enter this door in the first place, tarnishing my innocence. Liu Zhi'er suddenly became open-minded and said, that jealous look, as if there was a bright spring scene in front of her eyes, which was pleasing to people.
"Auntie, that's not the case. Since Yan Zhi entered the door of your blue and white embroidery building, my aunt loved Yan Zhi in every way. Although Yan Zhi suffered bad luck one after another because of this, and even almost lost her life, it has nothing to do with her aunt. It was Yanzhi's own trouble, all Yanzhi was born with this singing voice, and it was falsely spread by the idle wild old men who ate idle meals and drank tea, which made the blue and white embroidery building of my aunt in a big disaster. Fortunately, God protects us, so that we can turn evil into good fortune and tide over the crisis in peace. But it is rare for my aunt to bear the sin alone, Yanzhi is really sad. Dong Yanzhi said extremely neatly and gloomily for a while, which made the old bustard's mother Liu Zhi'er also feel heartbroken for a while, and she looked angry.
"Auntie, Sister Yanzhi is really good at talking. As soon as she spoke, you cried, auntie. Me, what should I say? Tsing Yi said with a stupid look, but his eyes never left Dong Yanzhi's side for a moment.
"Little girl, what do you know about adults? If you have something to eat, you can eat more, eat and sleep well. Don't bother here. Liu Zhi'er said to the little girl in Tsing Yi angrily, and there was no trace of warmth in her tone.
"Hmm, I think I'm annoying? I don't want to interject yet. You're going to drive me away, okay, let's not bother you, let you go clean. The little girl in Tsing Yi pouted, put on a look of grievance, lowered her head and quietly picked up her food.
"Little girl, are you really angry? Auntie, is that kidding you? You can't be really angry with your aunt. Dong Yanzhi joked with the little girl in Tsing Yi and said with a smile, her face overflowing with the beauty of a flower.
"Alright, Yanzhi, don't push everything on yourself. My aunt understands what you think and mean, and my aunt doesn't want to stop you. In this way, the day after tomorrow, you can go to the capital with your grandfather and your aunt. The things of this world are always fateful, they will naturally come, and they will naturally go when they should go, so why should I be the next door in the middle, blocking the good things in this world. It doesn't necessarily mean a good thing for you to leave you in this blue and white embroidery building, and it doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing for you to leave. Perhaps this is a good start for everyone, and the best of both worlds. It's just that he just wronged Li Qiusheng's kid. Liu Zhi'er finally confided the words that had been brewing in her heart for so long, her face was like a layer of frozen frost, and two clear tears had fallen from her eyes.
Dong Yanzhi's face was also vast, and the pearls in her eyes were falling.
Three days later, in front of the courtyard of the Blue and White Embroidery Building, an ancient carriage was parked there. In the courtyard, a beautiful girl who was fifteen or sixteen years old was walking slowly surrounded by a group of people, and the four waters and five phoenixes behind each followed with a trip. Liu Zhi'er held the beautiful girl by the hand, and said a lot of words all the way, only the falling pearls were showing in the wind, and the red lanterns in the courtyard seemed to tell a sad story.
People are quiet, horses are roaring. The wind blows, the heart moves. They were all separated in an instant, leaving a string of wind-like whispers, still telling their joys and sorrows.
The people whistled, and the horses' hooves were gained. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy chased after him in the backyard like crazy, screaming wildly: "Yanzhi, don't go." Yan Zhi, wait for me!! ”
