Chapter 282 Sacrifice
It was a street that Xiaoyun had never walked before, and now she had the courage to break through with Qin Liusu.
If Xiaoyun hadn't told Qin Liusu what kind of street the street in the east of the city was, Qin Liusu would have been able to walk here as if he were walking on the ground.
But it was precisely because of Xiaoyun's words that Qin Liusu felt scared in his heart first.
"Xiaoyun ......" Qin Liusu was about to talk to Xiaoyun, but a carriage suddenly rushed out of the middle of the road, splitting the bustling crowd and pressing straight towards Qin Liusu.
Qin Liusu couldn't dodge, and seeing that she was about to be bumped into, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes.
But at this moment, a person flew into the middle of the road with a "hoop", hugged Qin Liusu by the waist, and then tiptoed again, "swished", and flew several feet in the air with Qin Liusu in his arms as the carriage was speeding by.
Qin Liusu opened his eyes, trying to see the incredible scene in front of him, but found that the person holding him seemed to be someone he had seen somewhere.
This person is Duguyi, to be precise, Duguyi who has changed his second fake face.
"Is that you?" Dugu Yi has never forgotten Qin Liusu's face, thinking of the embarrassing scene that he will never forget when he worshiped this little girl not long ago, Dugu Yi threw Qin Liusu in his arms to the ground with disgust.
"Ouch!" It hurt Qin Liusu's entire waist and buttocks. Before he could figure out the situation, Dugu Yi had already disappeared into the crowd.
Qin Liusu rubbed his aching joints, crying and laughing, not knowing whether to thank this person or scold this person.
When Xiaoyun rushed over from not far away to help her up, the two immediately went home.
"Grandma, what are you going to tell me?" An Wenzhao asked Mrs. An with curiosity.
"Zhao'er." Mrs. Ann took a sip of tea.
"Zhao'er, did you say that grandma hurts you?"
"Of course, grandma, I'm your precious grandson, who do you hurt me if you don't care. That's right, you can also hurt Qin Liusu as much as you hurt me. An Wenzhao said happily.
"Zhao'er, you are the only seedling of our family, and grandma naturally loves you. So, for your happiness, grandma has planned it for you. ”
"What? Grandma, what have you planned? ”
"Grandma means that when Qin Liusu enters the palace, you will marry Xiaojun back, and in the future, your sister will become a concubine or something, and she will take care of you and make your career ......smooth in the future."
"Grandma!" Before Mrs. An finished speaking, she was stopped by An Wenzhao: "What do you say, how can you let Qin Liusu enter the palace?" What kind of place is the palace, and where is Qin Liusu able to go? ”
Mrs. An's words made An Wenzhao unable to sit still any longer, and he strongly opposed letting Qin Liusu enter the palace.
"Zhao'er, grandma knows that you love your sister, but grandma is for your good, you have to understand grandma's hard work. Grandma has calculated with someone, Qin Liusu's girl is fated, she can't stay in our house, it's not good for you. ”
"Grandma! How can such a thing be believed? Qin Liusu, she is so good, everyone knows. Can't let her enter the palace. Speaking of this, An Wenzhao couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable in his heart, and letting Qin Liusu enter the palace was more painful than asking for his life.
"Grandma, you can't let Qin Liusu enter the palace, you can't do it, think about it back then, if it weren't for that little emperor, how could my sister be ......" When he said this, An Wenzhao almost cried urgently.
"Zhao'er, stop it!" Hearing An Wenzhao's words, Mrs. An was anxious: "You can't say this again, if it reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid you won't even die!" ”
"No, grandma, Zhao'er begs you, don't let Qin Liusu enter the palace, I promise you whatever you say!"
Listened to this. Mrs. An sighed and said to An Wenzhao: "Zhao'er, it's not that grandma has to be like this, but for your good, grandma is willing to be a sinner, you don't want Qin Liusu to enter the palace, it's okay." However, you have to listen to the old man's grandmother and marry Xiaojun home. Otherwise, grandma would have to send Qin Liusu into the palace. ”
These two choices, no matter which one he chooses, will be more painful for him than asking for his clarity.
"I'll marry, I'll marry Xiaojun as my wife, as long as you send Qin Liusu back to your father's mother, I will marry Xiaojun back." An Wenzhao did not hesitate this time, nor did he refuse again.
He only knew that as long as he could protect Qin Liusu, he would be willing to let him marry Wang Xiaojun.
An Wenzhao ran to the garden in Xiyuan, and the moment Qin Liusu came back, she, he really didn't know how long he had been sitting there.
"Brother, why are you here?" Qin Liusu walked towards him with a smile.
An Wenzhao didn't speak, he just looked at this innocent and lively little girl.
She didn't know that the rest of her life was almost buried in that vast palace.
She didn't know that he had chosen someone else and could no longer stay with her.
"Brother, what's wrong with you." Seeing that An Wenzhao was a little abnormal, Qin Liusu suddenly lost his smile.
He didn't speak because he didn't know what to say.
An Wenzhao only looked at Qin Liusu, stretched out his hand and pinned the somewhat messy hair on her forehead behind her ear, and then pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Qin Liusu didn't speak anymore, she was quietly encircled in An Wenzhao's arms like this, which was also the best answer he gave An Wenzhao.
When Qin Liusu returned to the room, the maid Xiaoyun was already waiting outside the door.
"Where has Miss gone, she hasn't come back until now."
"I ...... So I walked around the garden. Hearing Xiaoyun ask like this, Qin Liusu was a little weak-hearted.
"You, don't hide it, I've seen it all." Xiao Yun smiled and teased Qin Liusu.
Qin Liusu stopped talking, and only hid in the room with a red face.
After a while, Xiaoyun knocked on the door outside again and shouted to Qin Liusu: "Miss, the old lady has something to call you over." ”
"Xiaoyun, you are making fun of me again, I don't believe you!" Qin Liusu thought that Xiaoyun was just teasing her, so he just sat in the room and refused to come out with a smile.
"I didn't coax you, I don't believe you came out and saw it yourself."
After hearing this, Qin Liusu immediately ran out, just in time to see the back of the messenger who was far away.
Xiao Yun was leaning against the door frame, playing with the handkerchief in his hand, and said to Qin Liusu with a smile: "The old lady is waiting for you in the main hall, you can go quickly." ”
"What a brainless stupid girl." Looking at Qin Liusu's descriptive posture in a hurry, Xiao Yun couldn't help but shake his head.
When Qin Liusu hurried to the front hall, Mrs. An was already sitting there waiting for her.
What also caught Qin Liusu's attention was Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her.
"Grandma, you ...... Call me? ”
"Old lady, then I'll go back to the house first, and I'll visit you next time." At this time, Mrs. Wang was saying goodbye to Mrs. An.
"I won't send the old woman, Ah Xiang, you go and send Mrs. Wang."
"Yes, old lady." After that, Ah Xiang took Mrs. Wang out.
Mrs. An continued to sit down, took a sip of tea, and said to Qin Liusu, "Qin Liusu, you sit down." ”
Qin Liusu listened, and sat down on the side.
"Qin Liusu, sit down well, and listen to what my old woman says to you." Old Madam An said to Qin Liusu slowly, and her tone was a little less tough than usual.
"Grandma, that's it." Qin Liusu replied.
"Qin Liusu, my old woman, I have to be strong, I have a tougher attitude towards you before, and I hope you don't blame me. I have never asked anyone in my life, and I called you here today to ask you to promise me one thing as an old woman, and to fulfill one of my wishes. ”
"Grandma, I can understand what you did before, and I never thought to blame you. If you have anything to say, just say it directly, Qin Liusu can do everything to you. ”
"Good boy." The old lady smiled and said to Qin Liusu, "You also saw it just now, I invited Mrs. Wang over, and I was discussing with her about your brother's marriage with Xiaojun." ”
"My brother and ...... Miss Wang's marriage ...... "Hearing this news, it hit Qin Liusu's body like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and it hurts."
Qin Liusu never thought that the arrival of Wang Wei's family last time was not a child's play, and the quarrel between Wang Xiaojun and An Wenzhao was not their final result.
And this old lady is the staunch defender of their marriage.
"Qin Liusu, what grandma wants to ask you to let you enter the palace."
Qin Liusu was pondering, but the old lady's words once again knocked her back to reality.
"I don't want to enter the palace." Qin Liusu couldn't help but recall a sentence he had said when he was talking and laughing with Xiaoyun not long ago.
Heaven seems to have played a big joke on her, one is her brother, the brother who dotes on her so much, makes her happy, and gives her a warm embrace, is about to marry someone else.
"Qin Liusu, grandma knows that you may not be willing to enter the palace, which is also grandma's concern. But grandma still wants you to think about your brother, you know what Zhao'er does to you, and when he gets married in the future and becomes an official in the court, whether his career is smooth or not depends on the help that your sister in the palace gives him.! ”
Mrs. An tried her best to persuade Qin Liusu to enter the palace, but at this time, Qin Liusu basically couldn't listen.
It has become an unchangeable fact that her brother wants to marry Wang Xiaojun, which is also the biggest blow to her.
After thinking about it carefully, even if An Wenzhao marries someone who is not Wang Xiaojun, it will be someone else, but it will not be himself, he is just his brother, whether he enters the palace or not, she is still his brother.
Qin Liusu, who had never thought about these questions, seemed to understand something at once.
"Grandma, I promise you, enter the palace. My brother is so kind to me, I have to repay him. ”
Before Qin Liusu finished speaking, the moment she heard her agree, Old Madam An had already smiled proudly.
"Good boy, grandma is here to thank you for your brother."
Qin Liusu couldn't listen to what Mrs. An was saying, she only felt numb, a little painful, and a little itchy in her heart.
"Good boy." Mrs. An called Qin Liusu, and when she saw that she didn't react, she called out again: "Qin Liusu!" ”
Qin Liusu raised his head: "Grandma, what else is there, you say." ”
Mrs. An smiled, and said to Qin Liusu: "Good boy, grandma still wants to ask you, don't tell your brother about this matter for the time being, and when the time comes, grandma will tell him herself." ”
"Qin Liusu knows, grandma." Qin Liusu also agreed.
"Okay, thank you, grandma. After a day of playing, you must be tired, so go back to your room and rest. ”
After that, Qin Liusu also answered and went back to the room by himself.
Such a night is naturally difficult for Qin Liusu to sleep. She lay on the bed, sometimes thinking about the scene of her brother An Wenzhao and Wang Xiaojun getting married and lifting the red hijab for her, and sometimes thinking about the scene when she entered a strange place like the palace.
Sometimes I think about the scene where my father and mother are looking forward to her going back at home in Sanssouci Town, and sometimes I think about the scene when Bilian takes her hand and walks around the streets.
This scene was like a daydream, and it crossed her mind over and over again.
She suddenly missed the days when she used to wander in Sanssouci Town, the occasional gift from well-wishers, and the occasional joy of being able to eat and clothe herself.
Play games with beggar children and share food together......
In retrospect, it all became a fond memory.
Qin Liusu fell asleep at some point. All she knew was that she didn't hear the familiar meow of the cat, and she didn't wait for her brother to arrive.
She just missed her brother's warm embrace while bringing it to sleep.
At this time, outside Qin Liusu's door, An Wenzhao was standing quietly. He's already quietly here.
