Chapter 78: The Man She Loves Doesn't Want Her
At this moment, Xiao Wan in Ling Chaofeng's eyes is very similar to her on the night of Governor Meng's death, and she doesn't know where the anger in her body comes from, and she doesn't know how to resolve it, is it going to be sick again?
"Wanwan, I'm more worried about you than about those things." Ling Chaofeng said bluntly, gently cupped his wife's face, and said gently, "There must be a way to solve the matter, good and evil will be rewarded, don't trap yourself in." ”
Xiaowan's body was a little relaxed, she felt very tired, fell into her husband's arms, and said weakly: "Xianggong, why are bad people always able to live with peace of mind." ”
Ling Chaofeng comforted her: "They don't have a heart. ”
On this day, knowing that after sunset, they had dinner at Aunt Chen's place, and then they had to say goodbye to Su Su, Su Su's spirit was naturally much stronger than yesterday, but he had no appetite for anything, and every time he moved a few chopsticks, he lost weight in two days.
When they were about to leave, Daqing returned from the docks, leaving early and returning late, and every day when they came back, they were covered in dust and trouser legs wet by the river.
Ling Chaofeng said: "The mules and carts have been sent to your house, in addition to sending Susu, you can also use them to do some other things, you can just use them yourself." ”
Xiaowan asked with a smile: "Are you here to see Susu?" ”
Daqing smiled honestly, handed over a bag of things carefully wrapped in reed leaves, and said: "There is a ship today from the South Seas, the owner of the ship gives a lot of wages, and gives us a bag of preserved fruits. ”
Xiaowan didn't wait for people to finish speaking, so she took it: "It's just right, Su Su hasn't been able to eat for the past two days, so I probably want to have something sweet and sour." ”
Daqing was a little happy, so he didn't have to say anything later, Xu felt that he was dirty, and he was always far away, so he thanked Ling Chaofeng for giving him a mule, and said that his mother was still waiting for him to eat, and he was going back.
Xiaowan couldn't wait, ran to the house, handed the bag of preserved fruits to Su Su, and said happily: "Daqing sent it to you." ”
Su Su looked at her blankly: "He sent it?" For me? ”
Xiao Wan smiled crookedly: "Is it difficult, it's for me?" ”
Because of this incident, Xiaowan's mood improved, and on the way home with Ling Chaofeng, she leaned on Xianggong, smirking stupidly, looking forward to good things, and her heart was so beautiful.
Ling Chaofeng saw it in his eyes, he knew that Xiaowan was easy to satisfy and easy to rejoice, love and hate were clear, although the rivers and lakes would one day grind away these pure things on her, but as long as it was still in one day, it was worth cherishing.
And Xiaowan suddenly remembered and asked: "Xianggong, where is the magistrate, can it be settled?" ”
Ling Chaofeng said: "Lord Liang has come forward. Speaking of which, it was really strange that he had fallen into an evil last night, and he came to the cell in the middle of the night to let me out, and locked himself in, which really seemed to be crazy. ”
Xiao Wan smiled, lifted the jade ring as smooth as the moonlight, and touched it: "Whatever, he deserves it." ”
At this moment, the trust magistrate was losing his temper in the mansion and threw the cups and dishes to the ground, making the concubines and maids tremble.
Mrs. came to persuade him and asked him why he was not satisfied, only to say that he was severely reprimanded by Liang Governor in Lizhou Mansion, saying that he had worked hard to run Baisha Town for more than ten years, so don't let him be ruined.
Mrs. said: "It's better to repair a book and ask my uncle what is the origin of this Ling Chaofeng." Uncle is also a prefect, and he must know a lot of things. ”
In this way, the magistrate sent the letter to the uncle's residence in the neighboring state early the next morning, and the uncle sent the letter back at night, but he didn't know anything, saying that it was across the boundary, who would care about a small inn. But the county master was worried, so he could only say hatefully: "That kid, don't fall into my hands if there is a kind." ”
On the same day and night, after Xiaowan came back from Baisha Village, she washed clothes by the well at the back door, thinking of the events of the past two days, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Aunt Zhang happened to come over and said angrily: "What are you sighing at a young age, you really look like an adult." ”
Xiaowan muttered softly: "People are adults in the first place." ”
Aunt Zhang moved the bench, rolled up her sleeves and washed with her, and said with a smile: "When I was your age, I was also very self-righteous, and gradually I got older and became an old woman. ”
Xiaowan smiled: "My aunt is not old, we don't look like mother and daughter like sisters." ”
"This little mouth is sweet." Aunt Zhang said happily, "It's good to have a girl, but there are people who don't take girls seriously." ”
They gossiped and talked about Su Su, saying that Daqing gave Su Su preserved fruits to eat, Xiao Wan really couldn't help it, and quietly told her aunt that Su Su had long been in love with Daqing, and came to the inn so early every day in order to meet him on the road.
"How nice." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "She once said that she would never believe in men again, and she was afraid that she would not meet a good one. However, it is also necessary for people to be willing to celebrate it, and it is not possible to force it. And if Su Su wants to marry Daqing one day, he must let go of the past and let go of this incident, otherwise even if he marries a good man, he will not be able to live well. ”
Xiaowan listened carefully, thinking about how to convey it to Su Su, but she didn't know that her aunt just let go of everything in the past, her background, feelings, and even hatred, and then followed Uncle Biao with all her heart, so that she could live and be happy for more than 20 years.
Naturally, this is all from the past, but there is a person in front of the door, that Yue Huaiyin, who is very hateful and pitiful.
She was born in the most prestigious Qinglou in the capital to visit the Immortal Pavilion, her biological mother was a famous prostitute in the previous generation of the Immortal Pavilion, but the girl in the Qinglou, pregnancy and childbirth is a taboo, so after giving birth to her, her biological mother was disposed of by the Qinglou in the family law, sold to the dirtiest kiln, and was ravaged to death by the beggar and the homeless man who wanted to burn himself.
And Yue Huaiyin was raised by Dingguo Gong, saying that he was raised, but in fact he was also raised, and he was raised until he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and he had to serve a man.
But when Yue Huaiyin was five years old, the old prince died, because he was a great contributor to the founding of the country with Emperor Tianding, and the family had three generations of hereditary reluctance to replace the title of duke, and the son of the old prince inherited the family business, and naturally inherited it even with this little chick-prostitute.
But the young Dingguo Gong trained her to be a killer who kills people without blinking, taking advantage of Qinglou and her stunning appearance to kill those corrupt officials and corrupt officials who cannot be executed openly by the imperial court.
When Yue Huaiyin was thirteen years old, his hands were already stained with human blood.
And on top of all this, she fell in love with the man who taught her, and it seemed that Dingguo Gong might promise her that when she reached the age of twenty, he would take her out of Xiange and marry her as a concubine.
But when she waited for this day, the man she loved deeply abandoned her and drove her out of the capital.
"Later, what are you thinking?" Aunt Zhang saw Xiaowan distracted and asked, "Are you worried about Susu?" ”
Xiaowan shook her head, she knew that Dingguo Gong was coming here, but Ling Chaofeng didn't know if he would live in Lingxiao Inn, Ling Chaofeng had nothing to do with him.
She said: "The day after tomorrow, maybe there will be guests coming, auntie, let Uncle Biao buy some good dishes tomorrow morning." ”
The night is getting deeper, Siyun Pavilion has already closed, the guys are all resting, only Yue Huaiyin's maidservant girl keeps sending hot water to the house, and the young lady burns incense and bathes, she has been tossing for a long time, I don't know what to do, wash yourself clean.
At this moment, she finally got out of the bath, she sat in front of the mirror to take care of the green silk, and saw the maid standing timidly in front of the door looking at her, Yue Huaiyin smiled faintly: "Tomorrow morning, I will go out, you stay to watch the store, what is there to wait for me to come back." ”
The maidservant asked, "When will the young lady come back?" ”
Yue Huaiyin thought for a moment: "I don't know, how good it would be if I could never come back......
The maid didn't really hear the latter sentence, but the next morning, when they came to deliver hot water, the young lady was gone.
Yue Huaiyin went all the way north and arrived outside the Lizhou Mansion, because Ling Chaofeng said that the distance is faster, and that person should arrive today.
On the same day, Xiao Wan swept the floor in front of the inn early in the morning, met Daqing who drove the mule to the dock, beckoned on both sides, Xiao Wan looked at it with a smile, and imagined that one day in the future, Su Su could take Daqing's board car to work at the inn, how good it would be.
After breakfast, the sun rose high, Xiaowan helped Aunt Zhang take out the mattress and quilt in the guest room to dry, when they were working, there seemed to be a big boat docked at the Baisha River wharf, many people came down, and they hurried away, and even Daqing received guests to help pull the goods out.
Aunt Zhang smiled: "This is comparable to being a slender man who can make money, and this child is willing to endure hardships." ”
And after this group of people walked by, they walked by the appearance of a dozen or so people, they rented the best carriage on the dock, and walked very slowly, I don't know how many people were in the car, but before and after the car got off, there were about a dozen people following.
Xiao Wan hid behind the quilt, quietly looked, and saw that the curtain on the carriage was lifted, revealing a man's face, vaguely looking calm and introverted, with an indifferent expression, he glanced at the signboard of Lingxiao Inn a little, and put the curtain down.
This situation made Xiaowan think of the Dingguo Gong from the capital that Xianggong said, she put down the work in her hand and came in to tell Ling Chaofeng, Ling Chaofeng followed her out and looked at it, and said lightly: "Yes or no, it has nothing to do with us, let them go." ”
Xiao Wan muttered softly: "It would be nice if this person could take Yue Huaiyin away." ”
However, at this moment, Yue Huaiyin, who was waiting outside Lizhou Mansion, did not know that the man she loved had arrived in Baisha Town by water. Time passed minute by minute, and there were two thoughts entangled in her heart, one was to wait a little longer, if she didn't come today, it should come tomorrow, and the other was that Ling Chaofeng deceived her and humiliated her.
It was almost noon, and Xiaowan waited for Uncle Biao to make a big bun with leek and egg filling, which he loved to eat, and he was going to take it hot and send it to Baisha Village.
As soon as I entered the door from the back kitchen, four or five people broke into front of the door, led by a woman in her thirties, with a noble temperament and sharp eyebrows, and glanced at the store, and the people around her asked loudly: "Where is the shopkeeper, do you still have a room here?" ”
