Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Feast of Atonement
"What did you ask Isseito to do?"
She was aggressive, "I haven't seized power for so long, of course I beat him." ”
He laughed, "I'm not smart in the first place, and if I break it, it will be even more worth the loss." ”
She didn't answer, but asked the man in the afternoon, "Although that person is dignified, he can't hide the anger on his body, and he is a little treacherous." ”
Chu Heng turned his head sideways, and seeing that she hadn't finished eating, he put the barbecue on the plate, "It's a bit of a taste that is not yin or yang." ”
"Who is he?"
"The people in the West Garden."
She remembered the lights in the West Garden that day, and wondered, "What is he doing in the West Garden?" Isn't it where the concubine lives? ”
"Find someone for my grandfather." The tone was a little nonchalant.
Looking for someone?
Feeling the low pressure on his body, he decisively shut up and pretended not to understand, this thing is too strange, she has been dead for more than forty years, and now she only thinks of looking for someone.
In the evening, they walked back, and as soon as they got home, they heard the maid come to report that the daughter of the Gao family was going to be engaged to Wuji, and Wuji personally came to send an invitation.
This is considered a positive result. Xu Tinglan threw away her own, Wuji really knows how to do things.
At night, he called Song Chen behind Chu Heng's back.
The next day, Song Chen came to Xu Tinglan and Chu Heng to make amends, and his words were full of remorse for losing the flowers, "It's all because the Song family is not strict with their subordinates, otherwise they wouldn't have let Tinglan suffer so much in vain and let Chu Heng worry for so long." ”
She nodded very eloquently, "It's not all the Song family's fault, if it weren't for the beautiful and moving peanuts, no one would have the idea of beating it." ”
It's a shame.
The corners of Song Chen's mouth twitched, and he had a serious face, "Thinking that Governor Chu has been busy with official business recently, I want to take some time to invite you to have a light meal as an aparation." ”
Xu Tinglan agreed, "I should make amends." He pushed Chu Heng, who was drinking tea, and asked, "Are you free?" Or today? ”
He turned his face sideways, put down the teacup, and saw the small urgency flashing in her eyes, pinching her face as if no one was around, "So want to go?" ”
Xu Tinglan waved his hand away, "How can you not go to the thank-you banquet specially made for us?" "It's as if she's reluctant to go to the feast.
"Where's the apology?"
Xu Tinglan was calm, "They lost the flowers, shouldn't they make amends?" ”
Song Chen carried this black pot calmly for no reason, and took her words with sophistication, "It's indeed the Song family's fault." ”
Chu Heng twisted Xu Tinglan's face, "How do I think that you made the family lose it?" He said he was suspicious, but his tone was affirmative.
Since she was guessed, she began to mess around, "Anyway, if you lose it, you lose it, I have suffered a lot of grievances, I am thrown around every day, not to mention, and I am always cut leaves and pick flowers." ”
Ben still wanted to tease her, but the topic was turned to this by her, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Then I will get this grievance back for you." ”
Fu said to Song Chen, who was sitting next to him, "I'll contact you if I'm free at night." ”
Song Chen glanced at Xu Tinglan's face, nodded, and agreed.
After he left, Chu Heng put away the seriousness on his face, "If you kiss me, I will agree." ”
Xu Tinglan: "......" Why are you such a Chu Heng. After squirming for a while, he thought about the evening, looked at Chu Heng's face, stretched out a finger and compared, "Just one." ”
He pretended not to see her shyness, nodded, and waited for her to get closer.
She weighed it for a while, and when he regretted it, seeing that he really didn't mean that, she took a deep breath, leaned closer with her upper body, and quickly kissed him on the face.
The corners of his mouth raised, "I don't feel it, I don't count." ”
She stood up suddenly, "No kiss." He turned and walked out the door.
He stood up and hugged her in his arms, hugged his waist, aimed at his red lips, and kissed her, his lips were soft like marshmallows, with a sweet feeling, he deepened a little, ready to go deeper, and was pushed away by her struggle, and thought about going to Song's house, "It's okay now." ”
His face turned cherry red, and his voice was still a little kicking, he looked down at the person in his arms, "What do you want to do next time, remember to come to me in this way." ”
The female man's character completely collapsed, and Xu Tinglan had a bitter face.
The Casarte Democratic Republic has a strong wine culture, and the Song family's banquet is gorgeous and extravagant from beginning to end, and the servants are standing in their positions waiting for the summons.
In the middle of the banquet, the guests of honor enjoyed themselves and chatted about the past.
"It seems that in 1973, when the War of Resistance against Aggression broke out, Zhushan had a holiday before the war, and Chen Xin never came back, and everything began to change from then on."
"The master sent someone to Chen Xin's house to inquire about the situation, thinking that he wanted to come back a few days later, but he got the news that he had not returned home, and everyone in the Chen family, including all the students from the mountain, went down the mountain to look for it, and a month later, everyone gave up and found his body in the icy river."
Lin You looked at the ceiling, his face was illuminated by the light, and his tone was sad, "After that, I searched through the murderer thoroughly, but there was no result, and what happened after that became more and more out of control." ”
Everyone heard the pathos revealed in her words, and remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
Song Chen paused Lin You's recollections, "Grandma, you're old, don't think about these previous things anymore." ”
Lin You looked in a trance, ignoring Song Chen's stopping, "Do you know who the murderer is?" ”
Without waiting for everyone to speak, she shook her head, "I don't know. ”
In the end, countless people suspected that Chen Xin was killed by Chu Zhaozhou, and I am afraid that even Chen Xin himself thought that although she was not at odds with him, she also believed that it was not him.
Indeed, Chu Zhaozhou had a motive to kill, Chen Xin first used his love for Xu Tinglan to coerce him to save his parents and water and fire, and then forced Chu Zhaozhou to help his family make a comeback because of his greed for money.
What is the truth of a mystery that has been silent for more than 40 years?
Chu Heng looked at Xu Tinglan, she looked back at him sideways, thinking that she hadn't heard what he said, so she said, "Huh? "Yes.
He paused, patted her hand under the table, and told her it was okay.
"I heard that there is a master from the Chu family?" I didn't mean to ask this, but it was Chu Heng who asked it.
He nodded, "My grandfather is getting older and more confused, and he just listens to these things. ”
Lin You smiled, the demeanor of his youth was still on his face, "I have heard that you also respect that master." ”
Her somewhat meaningful tone made people uncomfortable, and Chu Heng replied quietly: "This person does have some ability, besides, my grandfather asked him to find someone." ”
"Did you say who you were looking for? Before, today, posterity, and the world? ”
The answer is self-evident, naturally it is the predecessors.
Today's Lin You revealed oppression all over his body, "If he finds it, what should you do?" ”
Xu Tinglan smiled lightly, "Senior sister is so old, why do you care about these inconsequential things?" If so, how many years have passed, and will the man still follow him? ”
The atonement banquet does not mean half to make amends, anyway, it has become a question for sin.
Chu Heng did not go down the ladder given by Xu Tinglan, and replied to Lin You's words firmly and forcefully, "The predecessor is the predecessor after all, I only care about the present person, if that person is found, I will also protect her, this is not a compromise, it is a responsibility." ”
