Chapter Forty-Eight: The Rock and the Reed
Zhang Zhenghao didn't leave for long, and the doorbell rang.
She opened the door, lifted her eyelids, looked at the man outside, the corners of her mouth hooked, and the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, "Back?" ”
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon, and if you don't say anything, there will be a ghost. He touched her face with his lips, changed his shoes, and pretended to ask inadvertently, "Did anyone come just now?" ”
She let out a "hmm" and specifically mentioned it, "And tell me a piece of good news." Turned around and brought out the food that the Chu family had just delivered,
This expression, what kind of "good" news, he served her a bowl of bamboo rice, and did not ask much, "Come back to eat with me on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
She took the meal and sandwiched a bamboo shoot, "I don't want to go, you have to go with them, and I will be alone then." ”
He pinched her bulging cheeks, "Just go to the form, and I'll immediately find an opportunity to go to Dongyuan to accompany you." Afraid that she would not agree, her voice became softer and softer, and there was a rare negotiation tone, "Is it okay?" ”
"You are guilty of sin."
The angular face was full of suspicion, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"I haven't fooled you, but you've always calculated me."
There are only three or two things that have been calculated about her, one has been made clear, and the other is ......
He expected that Zhang Zhenghao told her, and the expression on his face immediately changed from not admitting it to changing his mistakes, and sincerely promised: "If you don't forgive me, I can only make this decision, and I will definitely not next time." ”
She didn't bother to look at his hypocritical expression, so she gave him a small white piece, gagged his mouth, and deliberately disgusted him, "Eat insects, beautify and nourish your face, and your youth will last forever." ”
"......," he said, "it's for you." ”
Her eyebrows and eyes were noble, and her arrogant chin was raised, "This princess has been rewarded to Father-in-law Chu." ”
Remembering that she was indeed a princess before, she silently put something in her mouth and returned to the original topic, "I'm serious. ”
"I really won't go."
"Really?"
She nodded without hesitation, "I really don't want to go." ”
His expression was a little sad, and he said helplessly: "Since you don't go, then I can only use some extraordinary means." ”
……
A few days later, Xu Tinglan received a courier and sent it by EMS express, she unpacked layer after layer of packaging, threw away the outermost paper shell, and pulled out an invitation.
The packaging on the outside is beautiful, but the inside is only a simple white piece of cardboard.
On the blank piece of paper is handwriting, and the first sentence is, "The wife is a rock, and the king is a reed, and the reed is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transfer." ”
directly changed the subject to express his bitter and affectionate way, so that Xu Tinglan couldn't hold back and almost laughed.
She calmed down, and then looked back, and there was another line of poetry,
"I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
And then there's the body content,
"The flowing water is intentional, the falling flowers are ruthless, and the concubine is determined, and she jumps into the lake at night in the Chinese New Year's Eve and commits suicide...... If the wife is affectionate, you can come to Bangyue Lake to send the concubine, if you are ruthless...... May the wife prepare a coffin for the concubine in advance, set up an inscription, and ask Master Wuji to exceed. ”
There is also a nonsense attached to it,
"Since there is no fate in this life, I have to continue the fate in the next life."
The words are poignant, but there is only one general meaning, that is, if you don't come, I will jump into the lake.
She had some interest in seeing Chu Heng jumping into the lake, so she didn't want to go to the Song family anymore.
On that day, the clouds were thin, it was a rare sunny day in winter, and after nightfall, Xu Tinglan went to Chujia Bangyue Lake to watch the whole process of Chu Heng jumping into the lake.
She used her mobile phone more smoothly than before, and took out her mobile phone to happily prepare to shoot videos and record wonderful moments.
There was no one in Bangyue Lake at the moment, only the dry willow followed the cold wind and shivered, she looked up at the stars in the sky, and reached out to touch the cold and biting lake.
On a night when the clouds are thick, the atmosphere has a strong thermal insulation effect and the ground temperature is high, and it can be seen from these bright and clear stars that the atmospheric inverse radiation is weak and the ground temperature is low on this night when the clouds are thin.
There is rime by the lake, and from time to time broken ice blocks fall from the trees, the branches can't bear the weight of the ice cubes, and make a crisp sound of "click", and the broken branches snort muttered muttered and fell down decadently under the pressure of the ice.
In this not-so-bright winter, the sound sounds a little eerie.
She didn't think that Chu Heng would do anything about jumping into the lake, at most she could see the play, make it lively, and relieve her boredom, since she was asked to come, she naturally had his reasons.
Sensing that someone was talking, Xu Tinglan turned sideways and stood behind the willow tree.
She heard a woman shout in a low voice, "Chu Heng." ”
The man didn't answer, and walked faster and faster, and the woman glared at him angrily, and walked faster and faster, trying to catch up with him,
But in the end, the patience ran out, and his voice was no longer deliberately lowered, and he shouted loudly, "Chu Heng." ”
Seeing that Chu Heng was still stopping, she glanced at the misty lake out of the corner of her eye, and threatened, "If you leave again, I will jump down and say that you are insulting me!" "The children of the family care a lot about face.
Sure enough, this trick worked, and the man stopped, carried the woman on his back, and stood upright in front of him, as if he felt that her trick was obscene and speechless.
The woman was disdainful of this move, "Why do you bother, if you promise me, your grandfather's things will be yours sooner or later." ”
The man finally spoke, thinking that this was very ridiculous, Xu Tinglan felt a little strange when he heard his voice, as if he was deliberately disguised, "Madame, is this so interesting, isn't the Chu family's thing mine, or yours?" ”
The woman snorted coldly, "If you promise me that the things of the Chu family must be yours, if you don't agree, your grandfather likes me so much, and the things of the Chu family may not be yours." ”
The man turned his head slightly, and from the woman, he could see his perfect side face, and the woman could see that she was a little distracted.
I only heard him ask, "Madame, why is this?" ”
Her thoughts were simple and direct, "If you promise to marry me, I will help you." ”
The man felt a little strange in his heart, as if he was in great trouble, "Why are you obsessed with me?" Remembering that there was no need to ask this sentence, he pressed his doubts and warned softly, "Madame, don't chase after you." ”
The woman ignored it and hurried forward.
Xu Tinglan heard the secret of a wealthy family, and was about to think about it, when her forehead was patted, she turned around in amazement and saw Chu Heng behind her.
Weirdly turned his head and looked at the direction where the woman was going, "Why are you two?" For a moment, I remembered the strange voice of the man.
Chu Heng smiled, "This matter will be discussed later." There was some cunning in his eyes, and when she was unprepared, he leaned over and kissed her.
A quick and eager kiss, with his characteristic freshness and sweetness.
After a kiss, he licked the moisture at the corner of her mouth when they parted, his voice was low and magnetic, and he teased, "Really come to see me jumping into the lake?" ”
The blazing breath came to her face, and she blushed and buried herself in his neck and did not speak.
He hugged her soft waist and hugged her heavily, "I jumped you to be widowed?" ”
