Chapter 37 Cowardice and Affection

"It's far away, it's hard to think, and a glass of water invites the moon to be cold. Emei lightly draws, painting bones and knowing autumn hearts. Eighteen years of youth, the spring breeze undresses. Still looking at each other, sending the king's heart, the love is long and the paper is short, and it is finally a smiling idiot in the world, and the green willow dances with a slender waist. Wait until you know that the end of the world is far away, full of drawing paper, and trace your eyebrows for you.

The warm sun shines on the high Mo, the tent is chaotic, and no one responds to the night of drinking. The flowering period is wrong, and the bloom is over. It is difficult to think about it, draw the ground as a prison, and be willing to sleepy your heart. I am willing to repay you for a lifetime, and not be a cold person. Staying lazy, hating the eternals, and vain wind and moon. ”

Dong Yanzhi stroked the piano as soon as she finished singing, and the living room of Du Mansion suddenly sang and lingered. The soul is strong, everyone is obsessed,

There was a burst of applause from everyone, and they all got up and gathered around. Especially Du Ruyan and Du Ruhe, they were even more surrounded by Dong Yanzhi's side screaming, envious, and cast extremely admiring eyes.

Mrs. Liu said again at this time: "Our niece is different, and it will be dazzling and amazing when you swing there." I really don't know that my sister is a good blessing to cultivate in that life, giving birth to such an earth-shattering stunner. God lives up to our Liu family, I think if my sister has knowledge under the spring, she should laugh three times. ”

"Auntie, don't praise me, I say that people are like gods descending to earth, and I am ashamed to death." Dong Yanzhi shyly responded to Mrs. Liu.

"Hey, in a word, my niece is a fairy." Mrs. Liu smiled again.

Suddenly, Dong Yanzhi's eyes seemed to have returned to the blue and white embroidery building, and the beautiful and delicate picture appeared happily. Just like when she and Liu Zhi'er Li Qiusheng were little girls in Tsing Yi, they gathered around her and listened to her natural voice.

The kind of isolated paradise world has never been shown in her mind again, although the people sitting around the living room of Du Mansion at this time are not the people Dong Yanzhi misses in her heart, but the desire in her heart is spontaneous and boundless.

"Miss Dong, if your piano and singing voice is spread at the 'Qin and Chess Festival', I am afraid that this laurel honor will not be something that Han can take. Hey, God is jealous, Han is really ashamed. Heaven not only did not let Miss Dong's piano skills and singing voice break through the ground, but instead multiplied so many storms, which is really chilling. ”

Han Gongzi said for a while, and on the other hand, he sighed a few sighs, which was finally an accusation of God's unfair handling.

"Master Han, don't flatter me like this. Yanzhi knew the reason for this, if it weren't for Han Gongzi's painstaking maneuvering, I was afraid that Dong Yanzhi would be a dying person in prison at this time. How can Dong Yanzhi's song fly outside the sky, and the rhyme is around the carved beam. In the final analysis, Dong Yanzhi was able to play a song for Han Gongzi today, thanks to Han Gongzi's approval. Yan Zhi can sing a song for her benefactor and stroke the piano, so why can't she? What else is there to think about those dwellings that have long since disappeared? I just wish that there would be less Poza in this life, and that he would be safe. ”

Dong Yanzhi replied in a lingering voice, her words have long been less flattering to those aunts, and more real and ordinary life.

"No, Han is really worried about Miss Dong. Every step up, every action, every word, all show the merry state and the coquettishness of the daughter. No wonder Lei Mansion had already given birth to such a thing to frame Miss Dong, it turned out that she wanted to hug the beauty? ”

Han Gongzi couldn't help but change his words and deeds and said that he seemed to be using the strength of wine to hide this deeply hidden heart, which was vividly revealed in front of Dong Yanzhi.

"Master Han, I see if you are drunk, why do you say some nonsense that Yan Zhi doesn't understand? Do you want me to ask someone to bring you a glass of sobering water to wake up? ”

Dong Yanzhi tried her best to avoid the embarrassing scenes between the two sides, and reluctantly did not hurt the feelings of the other party.

"Miss Dong, I'm not drunk. In fact, I am also very impressed with Miss Dong, who is so holy and beautiful out of the water, but I just have no time to speak. I'm afraid that I'll miss the opportunity in this life, so I'll just use the vague words of wine to make it clear today, so as not to regret it in the future. ”

Han Gongzi walked up to Dong Yanzhi drunk with a wine glass in his hand and said, his eyes were already showing infinite admiration.

Dong Yanzhi looked at Han Gongzi and finally understood the implied meaning of these words, it turned out that this Han Gongzi had actually developed a vein love for Dong Yanzhi in these days of contact with Dong Yanzhi. Just like a spark can start a prairie fire, Han Gongzi's heart almost fell on Dong Yanzhi's body, his soul was at the top, and his dreams were uneasy.

Dong Yanzhi was shocked at the moment, thinking that she was tired of these officialdom dealings, and she was also tired of the door valve system of these powerful families. On the surface, the scenery is beautiful, but in private, it is a hostile and secret war between you and me.

These are all external matters to herself, and she Dong Yanzhi, a weak woman in troubled times, only wants a home where she can enjoy happiness and a man who loves her loyally and cares for herself. You can stay away from the chaotic red dust of the world, find a paradise and live the life you want.

Han Gongzi touched Dong Yanzhi's nose, and his heart was also anxious, but he muttered nonsense: "Miss Dong, what's wrong with my Han Mansion, I, Han Yuhong, am not worthy of you at that point." Is there really only that Li Qiusheng in your heart who is far away in the world but can't give you any sense of security and happiness? I lost that bit to him. You're so angry with me. ”

"Yes, Yan Zhi only recognizes Li Qiusheng in her heart, and she can't tolerate other men. If Han Gongzi is also like the uncle of Lei Mansion who uses this as a threat to Dong Yanzhi, then Dong Yanzhi can only disappoint you. Dong Yanzhi didn't know for a while that a stubborn aura had arisen from there, and she responded fiercely to Han Gong, who was almost angry at this time.

"Ha, ha, Miss Dong, I forgot to tell you that Li Qiusheng is now a fugitive from the government, don't expect him to bring you any good end, I advise you to die of this heart." Han Gongzi said sarcastically again, ignoring the persuasion of Du Ru and Du Ruhe.

"Which is my Dong Yanzhi's business alone, it has nothing to do with you. Han Gongzi, the angry little woman said bluntly, don't think about it in vain, Dong Yanzhi will not have the luxury of marrying into a wealthy family in her life. Dong Yanzhi shot back angrily, and didn't leave any more affection for Han Gong.

"Ha, ha, why wait and see, see what good results you and Li Qiusheng can have? I like to see what happens to you. ”

As soon as Han Gongzi said this, Mrs. Liu and everyone in the hall were shocked, and they didn't seem to know what happened to Han Gongzi and Dong Yanzhi, but they just felt that these two good people fell out in a while.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly spoke: "Han Gong, you are angry. There are always a thousand ways in our Du Mansion, please also give a smile on the face of the old body. It's rare that Dong Yanzhi has just gotten out of the sea of suffering, why are you so unhappy? I see that you also tried your best to save my niece before, so you are not such a foolish person in this case. ”

Han Gongzi was robbed by Mrs. Liu like this, and he was even more shocked and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Liu, have you heard of Guan Guan's dove, in Hezhizhou." Slender lady, gentleman is good"? Everyone has a love for beauty, can't I pursue Miss Dong? ”

Mrs. Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Han, you are really scared to death. This love between men and women, the old body can't do anything. Although Dong Yanzhi is my niece, I can't control her fate, besides, this thing that you and I want to be happy with each other is tough, you should always give my family Yanzhi a little time to adapt to understanding, right? That can chase other girls and ask questions as soon as they meet. ”

Oh, Han Gongzi let out a long sigh of relief and sighed: "Hey, this is also, I am all to blame for being so anxious, and I get carried away thinking about Miss Dong's goodness." Miss Dong, I'm sorry, I can't compensate you for this time. ”

"Han Gongzi, you don't have to apologize like this. It's just that I will ask Han Gongzi not to mention it again in the future, I am really ashamed. Dong Yanzhi said shyly on the side, her face already flying crimson.

Han Gongzi took advantage of the situation to stage a drama of forced love.

Without a reason, Han Gongzi encouraged him to deal with it for a while and then walked out of the Du Mansion in a hurry.

A bend of the cold winter sun just shone desolate on his body, and it was gone in an instant.

On the post road outside the gate of Dufu, the people are fluttering, the smoke is faint, and it seems that there are few people walking around in winter.

For a few days in a row, Dong Yanzhi and her attendant all slipped to the grove road where they had met Li Qiusheng before, hoping that Li Qiusheng would suddenly appear in front of them again like last time. In this way, she Dong Yanzhi can throw the pain of parting and lovesickness for more than a year to Li Qiusheng.

However, where is Li Qiusheng, who just came to the capital and kidnapped Mrs. Lei alone? Dong Yanzhi's heart was finally entangled with the news that Li Qiusheng was nowhere to be found. She couldn't understand why the world was so big that she and Li Qiusheng couldn't accommodate two young people who were lonely in the world.

But God is like a little mercy in vain, but let the two of them meet, love each other, snuggle up and support each other, and are not afraid to experience some things that even they themselves don't expect. She doesn't hate the ruthlessness of the sky, she doesn't hate the unrighteousness of the earth, she only hates the world and the human heart has become ugly, and there is no mercy at all.

When thinking like this and looking at the sky endlessly, Dong Yanzhi's mind came up with the bits and pieces of the past in the blue and white embroidery building.

She first met Li Qiusheng when she first entered the Blue and White Embroidery Building; She and Li Qiusheng looked back affectionately under the red oil-paper umbrella in the rain; There is also a scene of Li Qiusheng leaning alone in front of the window and peeking at himself playing the piano and singing; there is also a scene of Li Qiusheng following him all the way to leave Beijing to find his relatives; there is also a bitter farewell scene of himself returning from prison to Du Mansion and meeting Li Qiusheng in a hurry.

These earth-shattering pictures all passed through Dong Yanzhi's mind one by one, like a small wildflower blooming on the side of the road. settled in Dong Yanzhi's heart, like a falling cloud, faintly dispersed.

"The thrush is shallow, and there is no time? People are flustered, tired, and have no plan to get this central matter. The love is timid, the heart is slow, how can there be a great book to return to the geese. Leave no hatred, go without resentment, the end of the world is slim, how can you get pity?

Set him a pot of wine, forget about the world, and get drunk with you in a dream. lowered his head, pulled his clothes, and ended up with two lines of lights and tears.

Hate like that, the sky has no wishes, freedom, one leaf love, three lives of hatred, a few tears of separation, turned into pain in the mirror. ”

When people are affectionate, Dong Yanzhi can't help but sing this song softly. Suddenly, all the sorrow and resentment in my heart were between these words, as if only the person who treated him with a hard heart understood the taste of the bitter wine in this cup.

On the fifth day, Dong Yanzhi was still painting her eyebrows in front of the windowsill, and a serving maid hurriedly ran in and whispered in her ear. I saw that Dong Yanzhi was taken aback at first, and immediately threw away the brush in her hand and followed Yahuan to the gate of Du Mansion.

Hurriedly walked to the edge of the grove where he and Li Qiusheng suddenly met last time, and a familiar figure that had not been seen for a long time appeared in front of Dong Yanzhi's eyes again.

Dong Yanzhi rushed over as if she had taken off a rabbit, and she had already screamed a poignant call from her mouth. "Brother Qiusheng, Brother Qiusheng, you're here, let Yanzhi miss you so much!!"

The figure standing on the side of the grove road also rushed to Dong Yanzhi's side, and the joy of a rare reunion gave birth to the sorrow of resentment in his heart, creating this bizarre picture of life and death parting and meeting by chance.

These two haggard hearts, like a scene of impatience and fire, are like a rare reunion that has gone through thousands of years of reincarnation to wait for this moment, as fast as a flash of starlight, and like a whistling wind.

"Yanzhi, we finally meet again. I thought I'd never see you again, and this is the end of my life. Li Qiusheng couldn't wait to say this sentence when he grabbed Dong Yanzhi's slender hand. His eyes were full of flashes of tears and tears.

"Brother Qiusheng, don't you be so beggar, how can it be like that? Isn't Dong Yanzhi standing in front of you now? You see, if you feel that your heartache and grievances are not enough to relieve your hatred, you should take a closer look at Dong Yanzhi's appearance now, and imprint my appearance deeply in your heart. ”

"As long as it is something that can make Brother Qiusheng happy and at ease, Dong Yanzhi is willing to do it for Brother Qiusheng. Even if I have gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers, I will appear in front of you, so that Brother Qiusheng can see the pulse smile on Dong Yanzhi's face. Dong Yanzhi also said with tears in her eyes, and her delicate face had an extra layer of heart-wrenching cold frost.

"Yan Zhi, I don't want you to pay for me like this, and I don't deserve you to be so good to me. I'm a useless street wretch, and I just don't want you to be hurt in any way. I just hope to use all my strength to protect you, pamper you, and not let you be wronged by the slightest wisp of discouragement. Then I can walk away with peace of mind. Li Qiusheng said self-deprecating at this time, invisibly opening up the wordless distance between himself and Dong Yanzhi.

"Don't say these depressing words, in Yanzhi's heart, Brother Qiusheng is more important than anyone else. If Brother Qiusheng has a difficult situation, Yanzhi's heart will also suffer. I hope that Brother Qiusheng will treat himself well, no matter whether or not Yanzhi is by your side, you must take good care of yourself, and don't make Yanzhi feel embarrassed everywhere. Dong Yanzhi covered Li Qiusheng's mouth for a while and said, for fear that Li Qiusheng would say something inauspicious.

"yes, I see. Yanzhi, you have to cherish yourself the same. If you have any kind of accident, Brother Qiusheng will also be cut off from this life. For the sake of the two of us, we must live well. Li Qiusheng swallowed his throat and said, then slowly pushed away Dong Yanzhi's attached body and slowly retreated.

Dong Yanzhi was suddenly pushed by Li Qiusheng, and the bodies of the two snuggled together were suddenly separated. Under the sun, two long figures suddenly lingered, scattered on the ground, full of Aunt Cang.

Dong Yanzhi immediately exclaimed in amazement: "Brother Qiusheng, what's wrong with you." Why do this to me? Are you going to leave again? ”

"Yan Zhi, please forgive Brother Qiusheng for his suffering. I can't be with you now, I'm leaving. Li Qiusheng's heart ached so much that he couldn't bear to speak, and tears once again drifted down uncontrollably.

"It's easy to see when you don't see it, but if you say goodbye in a hurry today, you don't know when you can see each other. Brother Qiusheng, Yanzhi's heart hurts so much. If it weren't for Yan Zhi's burden, you wouldn't have to. Dong Yanzhi said with tears.

Li Qiusheng stopped talking, shook his head, and slowly turned around and walked towards the grove.

Behind him, Dong Yanzhi's violent crying and shouting slowly came, poignant and cold.

Sprinkled in the winter sun, it was bleak.

The second volume of "Falling Lantern Flowers" is over, and the third volume (Romance of Autumn Life) is about to be staged.
