Chapter 52: The Loss of a Beloved
……
Xu Tinglan and Junli have become estranged, but their relationship with Chu Zhaozhou has improved, and anyone who pays attention to the three of them can see a little bit from the subtleties.
The days when Xu Yan was not there were very leisurely, and he didn't even have to go to morning class, so that the young adults who had just grown up squatted on the quilt and were reluctant to come out to feel the cold spring breeze.
It's the best season of the year, with new grass sprouting on the ground and flowers rushing to bloom.
The mountain is the full name of the mountains, covering a vast area, and on the other mountain there is a flat and boundless meadow, where a group of horses are specially raised, using the most primitive stables, and exotic flowers and plants grow naturally around.
The temperature on the mountain is moderate, the grass and trees grow abundantly, Chu Zhaozhou picked some stars for her, tied them with beautiful green vines, and handed them to her for fun with random movements.
Lin You on the side snatched the things he gave to Xu Tinglan, and bluntly said that he liked this bouquet of flowers very much, and happily hugged it in his arms and praised it: "Zhaozhou's craftsmanship is really good." ”
Chu Zhaozhou looked at the starry sky in her arms, was silent for a moment, turned back and picked another bunch to Xu Tinglan.
Lin You was dissatisfied, "Why do I think Tinglan's bunch is more beautiful than mine." ”
Chu Zhaozhou compared, "It's obviously no different. ”
"No, I'm going to change a bunch, I like Tinglan."
Xu Tinglan stopped Chu Zhaozhou from refusing, and generously gave the bouquet of flowers to Lin You, "Well, since you like everything, take care of it for me." ”
Lin You took it satisfied, and not long after, he blamed the vine that tied the flowers for not looking good, and after dismantling them, he casually threw the flowers aside and ran to invite Junli to come and play with them.
Lin You looked at the man who was choosing a horse and asked, "Junli, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
The man standing in the distance looked at this side and nodded hesitantly.
She greeted him warmly, "Then you come over to play, I won't, you come and teach me." ”
The man glanced at Xu Tinglan, who was leading the horse, and Chu Zhaozhou, who was standing next to her and talking to her, and walked over with his horse.
When everyone rode their horses, the man who said he couldn't ride horses rode more smoothly than anyone else, and left everyone behind in a puff of smoke.
Xu Tinglan frowned, she really couldn't ride a horse, and now seeing that Lin You was gone, she remembered what happened not long ago, "Which of you will go over and take a look?" ”
Before Junli could speak, Chu Zhaozhou took the lead and said, "Let Junli go, I'll accompany you here, and teach you to ride a horse by the way." ”
Junli opened her mouth several times in a row, wanting to find a good opportunity to explain to her, and made a compromise in her urging eyes, leaving an inexplicable sentence: "Don't be so unfair, you have to give me some time to explain, don't sentence me to death at once." ”
Without waiting for them to ask, there was only one figure left chasing Lin You's back.
Xu Tinglan didn't have the heart to play, she rode the horse and swayed slowly, she sat on the horse, Chu Zhaozhou led the horse and chatted with her from time to time, "Lin You doesn't seem to be sad because of Chen Xin. ”
She didn't have much emotional "um", "It's a good thing not to be sad." ”
Chu Zhaozhou tilted his head, with a dazzling smile on his face, "You seem to be better to me than before." ”
She was stunned, "It's no different." ”
"It's not good with Junli, just follow me."
She remembered that she had deliberately ignored him before, pretending not to understand him.
He knew that she liked to pretend to be deaf and dumb the most, looking at the people on the horse, grasping the weakness of sympathy, and saying sadly, "You always reject me." ”
Xu Tinglan didn't know how to speak, and explained awkwardly, "I just treat you as a friend." ”
"If you try it with me, I promise to be good to you, even if you regret it and want to break up in the future, I won't hold you back." There was some light in his eyes, and his warm face looked at her expectantly, "It's not appropriate to break up at that time." ”
Chu Zhaozhou is a good boyfriend, this is a pertinent evaluation, but some people will only love one person in their lives.
If it was an open secret that Chu Zhaozhou liked Xu Tinglan before, now it is an open fact.
During the meal, Chu Zhaozhou sat down beside Xu Tinglan with a blank eye, ignoring Lin You's murderous gaze and serving Xu Tinglan vegetables.
Angry, Lin You looked left and right, looking for Jun Li's diaphragm to answer him.
Before she could speak, the senior brother who was outside who specially delivered the letter walked in, "The senior lady has sent a letter." ”
Xu Yan and his wife were afraid that they would be worried, so they always sent letters every once in a while, and everyone didn't notice any difference, and patiently waited for Xu Tinglan to open the letter.
Xu Tinglan took out the letter and was about to read it, but found that only one sentence was written on the letter this time, she frowned, and when she saw the content of the letter, her pupils were constricted, her knuckles were white, and she didn't know how to speak.
The faces of the people on the mountain froze, Lin You grabbed the letter paper, browsed the content on it, and the moment he raised his eyes, tears slipped from his face, "Master...... It's gone. ”
Like a thunderclap on the ground, the long-calm mountains boiled in an instant, and the grief of the innocent death of the same senior brother had not passed, and the news of the master's death came one after another.
When everyone calmed down and discussed how to deal with the funeral, Xu Tinglan had already decided not to do it.
She always loves to dream these days.
When she was born, Xu Yan was still the crown prince, and the emperor heard that it was a girl, although he didn't like it, he still passed the throne to Xu Yan despite public opinion. It is hoped that he will be able to turn the tide and maintain the declining feudal rule.
It is a pity that after two years on the throne, Xu Yan still did not regain his real power, but he was aware of the differences in the political system between countries, and in the year of reform, millions of peasants revolted, the regime was overthrown, and Ning Guo was annihilated in the flood of history.
On the day the country was broken, their family planned to die for the country, but they were rescued by Mrs. Xu's old acquaintance, and they came to Zhushan to settle down in the midst of displacement.
Because of that old acquaintance, she met his son Junli, Lin You and the brothers of Zhushan, and because of that old knowledge, Xu Yan and his wife went out of Zhushan, and she didn't even see her father's bones.
She dreamed of what Mrs. Xu said the night before she left, and it turned out that she was already doomed.
In the dream, she was pulling Mrs. Xu to persuade her not to leave, Mrs. Xu was about to refuse, her door was knocked open by Lin You, she woke up from the dream, opened her eyes and looked at the curtain, and before she sat up, Lin You had already helped her up.
She looked at her with a haggard face, "What's wrong?" ”
"Are you really going to be with Chu Zhaozhou?"
Her voice was a little hoarse, and there was a heavy depression between her eyebrows, "That's what you're here to ask about?" ”
Lin You heard her displeasure, and his voice was bitter, "I don't advise you, but why don't you discuss it with Junli?" ”
Her face was sickly, "Don't say it, it was his father who killed my father, how do I face him, and how does he face me?" ”
"Tinglan, everyone is sad about the death of the master, how could Junli know that his father would do this? What should you do with Chu Zhaozhou and let him do it. ”
Who told me what to do?
Not only did I lose my only father, but I also gave up the love I love most in my life.
