I didn't look at him, but smiled slightly: "Where are you going, I'll go with you." ”

Raising his eyes, he looked at each other, and he smiled helplessly: "When the injury heals, it's time to go home." ”

"I'll give you medicine." I helped him to go to bed, and the medicine worked wonders, and the redness and swelling disappeared after only one night.

Sensing my surprise, he said, "This medicine was sent by a disciple sent by the master. ”

I sighed: "Master, this person is also a knife-mouthed tofu heart." ”

"When I went back, I didn't feel so comfortable anymore. Zen heart ......" He paused, put on his clothes, and turned his head to look at me: "I don't want you to leave with me, in the Taoist temple, it's good to live a peaceful life like this." ”

I repeated, with great firmness: "Where you go, I'll go with you." Heaven and earth, blue and yellow springs. ”

He fell into deep thought, thought about it, and smiled: "Okay, I will do everything to protect you." ”

Another whole month passed, Chu Nantang's injuries were almost healed, the spring snow was extremely cold at the beginning of the melt, wet everywhere, and icicles formed in the early morning.

I took the icicles off the eaves and played with them. Chu Nantang laughed and said that I was naïve.

I smiled and said, "When I was a child, I lived in the countryside with my grandmother, and it was like this, with icicles on the eaves, and it was very beautiful. ”

"It's the first time I've heard you talk about your family."

I lowered my head in frustration: "My father and mother died early, and my grandmother brought me up, and then my grandmother was gone...... But fortunately, I met you, so I won't feel lonely. ”

He looked a little lonely, just hugged me into his arms and didn't say anything.

The day we left was fine, and the snow and ice had melted. The master sent us halfway up the mountain: "I will send you here, take care of each other after coming down the mountain, Zen heart, take good care of your senior brother." ”

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that Master had said something wrong, but after thinking about it, I nodded: "Well, don't worry, Master." ”

The people of the Chu family had already arranged a place to live in the town, rested in the inn for one night, and did not fall asleep.

I got up quietly in the middle of the night, and wanted to go out to breathe, but I saw a slender white figure sitting in the corridor.

When I looked closely, it was Chu Nantang.

I bent my waist, quietly approached, covered his eyes from behind, and deliberately said in a rough voice: "Guess who I am?" ”

He was not surprised at all, pulled my hands down, and smiled: "My junior sister is really getting more and more childlike." ”

I sighed: "Seeing that you are too dull, I just want to make you happy, why haven't you slept so late?" ”

"Why didn't you sleep?"

"I ...... I recognize the bed, I have insomnia, and I come out to breathe. ”

"The night is very cold, and you don't have much to wear when you come out." As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the room, took out a fox fur coat, and put it on for me.

Suddenly it was not warm, I rubbed my hands: "It's obviously spring, but it's still so cold at night." ”

"The beginning of spring is the most wet and cold."

I slipped my cold hands into the hem of his coat, and he was so cold that he breathed in.

"Wow, senior brother, it's so warm!"

He looked at me helplessly, but his eyes were extremely gentle: "Zen heart, what are your plans for the future?" ”

"Huh?" I looked at him in surprise, and Mo Ming's mood became heavier: "I don't have a plan, I just want to follow you and be by your side." If you can live a day, it is a day. ”

"Don't have anything you want to do?"

I didn't belong to this world in the first place, and although I had been trying hard to integrate myself into this world, I always felt that one day I had to leave.

I pursed my lips and was silent for a while, "It's already tiring to live, and I don't think about what I should do or what I shouldn't do. ”

"That's it." Chu Nantang sighed: "You, you seem to be easy to speak, but in fact, you are more stubborn than anyone else, and you refuse to turn back even if you are bloody." ”

I leaned into his arms: "Nantang, just let me stay by your side like this." ”

"Well, I can't get rid of it anyway, so I can only leave you alone." He looked up and touched my head, and said thoughtfully, "I miss Master, and I also miss Xiaobai." ”

I grabbed his hand: "Don't touch my head." I knew you wanted to touch Xiaobai. ”

He laughed, and my hand was clutched by me, and finally became ten fingers clasped.

The next day, I sat in a large luxury carriage, which was covered with thick cushions and was very comfortable.

With Chu Nantang by his side all the way, it is also very pleasant to look at the scenery outside the car window.

Chu Nantang looked out the window and said, "After Niutou Mountain, you can reach home after three days." ”

I yawned and lay into Chu Nantang's arms.

"Sleepy?" He combed my hair with his plain hand, and I buried my face in his chest, but my heart was very uneasy.

"I really hope that this road will go on forever, and this road will never have an end......"

He didn't speak, patted me on the back and lulled me to sleep.

I inadvertently asked, "Nantang, do you know how to sing a little song?" ”

He thought about it for a while, and casually hummed a short piece of Peking Opera: "I was originally a loose person in Wollongong, and I talked about yin and yang like Baoding Qiankun." The first emperor went down to Nanyang to drive three times, and Liandong Wu destroyed Cao Wei for three points. The official seal was sent to Wuxiang Hou to take charge of the handsome seal, and the east and west conquered the north and south to suppress Bogu and the present...... I'll shine the piano in the enemy building......"

After that, I sat up without sleep, and he suddenly stopped and looked at me.

I was so amazed that I was almost incoherent: "This is so sobering!" I...... I'm complimenting you, really, you sing very well, you're still a singer of Peking Opera! ”

He suddenly laughed: "Hearing you say this, you will have nothing to do in the future, build a high platform, and you can come for a while." ”

I said seriously, "I can give you an allegro." ”

He asked, "Will you fight?" ”

"Uh...... I can learn! ”

"I'll teach you."

Me: "......"

Later, I learned that Chu Nantang's attainments in music are surprisingly high, and he plays with various musical instruments in his hands.

After three days of travel, I finally returned to the southern town, and along the way, the soldiers were chaotic, and it seemed that this town was particularly peaceful and peaceful.

As soon as I got out of the carriage, Grandma Sun welcomed me in and shouted happily: "The young master is back, the young master is back!" ”

Mrs. Chu lifted the hem of her skirt and crossed the arched bridge in the front yard, her eyes were full of love and care, and she shook Chu Nantang's hand: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

"Mother."

"Mrs. Chu." I was blessed, and she glanced at me and didn't linger long.

I suddenly felt depressed in my heart, no matter how Mrs. Chu is Chu Nantang's mother, I naturally want to please her, but it doesn't seem to be so easy.

Chu Nantang turned around and said, "Zen heart, you go back to the room with Grandma Sun first." ”

"Okay." I bit my lip. followed behind Grandma Sun.

Grandma Sun was still kind, took my hand and said with a smile: "The young master wrote back and said that you also entered the master together, and you and the young master will be brothers and sisters in the future." ”

It turned out that he had written back and mentioned these things. I don't know what else was mentioned?

"If you make a long trip, you must be tired, sleep first, and wait for dinner grandma to call you."

"Thank you, Grandma Sun." I put my burden down and looked around: "Mama, my previous room?" ”

"That's what Madame meant, to arrange you in this room."

The room was noticeably much bigger and brighter than before, perhaps out of courtesy. After all, it is for the sake of the brothers and sisters who are now in the same school as Chu Nantang.

"Mama, let me go back to my original room to live, I'm a little unused to it." I have some worries in my heart, I have no intention of becoming his junior sister, and I don't want to get any different treatment from the Chu family because of this.

"This is arranged by Madame, you can rest assured, what's wrong, I'll talk about it later?"

I let out a long sigh and whispered, "Well, okay. ”

Chu Nantang spent the whole afternoon with his parents in the main house, and I was anxious to see Mo Xiang, and I didn't have the heart to rest.

When Moka saw me. Pounced happily, she also grew up, and seemed to be a little calmer.

"Sister, if you don't come back, I thought you didn't want me and eloped with Young Master Chu!"

I covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! It doesn't sound good, why hasn't your temperament changed at all? ”

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." Mo Xiang took my hand and walked into the house.

In addition to the big maid in the house, the other maids sleep in the bunk, and several people sleep in one room.

At this time, it was time to prepare dinner, and they were all out to be busy. I was wondering when Mo Xiang didn't go to work. But I heard her say: "Mrs. Chu specially allows me not to work today, and I will accompany you well." ”

"Mrs. Chu?" She looked at me very coldly, she didn't like me at all, she did so much for her son?

"Yes, sister, is the Taoist temple fun?"

I sat down next to her and said, "It's okay, the days are quite leisurely, and it's the beginning of spring when I come back, and if it's early autumn, I can bring you a lot of fruit to eat." ”

"Think about it, what's so good about the deep mountains and wild forests? Young Master Chu is really strange. If I had such a good life, I would definitely squander my family wealth and make my life comfortable. ”

Looking at Mo Xiang, I couldn't help laughing, "The young master of a rich family is not as good as you think." ”

"That's better than selling yourself as a low-class maid, right?"

I was momentarily speechless: "That's just as well." ”

"Sister, what the hell are you ...... Do you like Young Master Chu? ”

I took a deep breath and said frankly, "Well, I like him. ”

Mo Xiang frowned and said: "Then you and him shouldn't come back, do you know that Young Master Chu came back this time to marry Jiang Rongwan!" ”

My heart was suffocated, and my heart was in turmoil. He didn't say a word about his marriage to me.

Seeing that I was silent, Mo Xiang pulled me up: "While he hasn't married Jiang Rongwan, you can take him away tonight!" ”

"Silent incense!" I pulled her past and said helplessly, "If he doesn't want to go with me, wishful thinking is useless." ”

"What??" Mo Xiang's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it: "Three years! You haven't taken him down in three years?! ”

"How to take it?"

"I ......" Mo Xiang stared at me speechlessly for a long time: "What do you say you lack?" Like me, he looks like a flower, you really have the heart to seduce him, he will never push you away! ”

I held my forehead: "Mo Xiang, what are you thinking about?" Girls' families! ”

"Young Master Chu is wood, and you are also wood! It deserves to be snatched away by another woman! Mo Xiang was angry and anxious for me, and paced again and again.

"It's mine that can't be snatched, and it's useless if it's not my hard robbery."

"Sister, if I talk to you, I'll be!" Mo Xiang put her hands on her waist: "If you like it, you have to do whatever it takes to get it!" Whether it's suitable or not, let's get it first! Otherwise, everything is empty talk, empty talk!! ”

Sometimes I envy Mo Xiang, I don't think too much, and I do whatever I want.

"Okay, I got it, I'll fight for it, fight for it...... Marry you off sooner! ”

Mo Xiang's face turned red: "If I want to marry, I have to marry the person I like." ”

"And what do you like?"

"I ...... I, I like someone, but I don't know if he likes me or not. ”

"Who is it?"

"Oh, don't ask, he'll be back soon, and I'll tell you when the time comes."

I chatted with Mo Xiang for an afternoon, and when I had dinner, Grandma Sun came to call me.

"Zen heart, Mrs. and Master asked you to come over for dinner together."

I was stunned for a moment: "Call me along?" ”

"Yes, let's go, everyone is seated."

I turned my head to look at Mo Xiang, and she pushed me: "Then you go quickly, you have to remember to bring me something delicious back." ”

I laughed, "Okay." I'll bring you something to eat when I get the chance. ”

As Mama Sun came to the front hall, the Eight Immortals table was all set, and there was only one seat left.

With a feeling of apprehension, I blessed Mrs. Chu and Master Chu: "Master, madam." ”

"You are Nantang's junior sister and a family, don't be restrained, sit down." When Master Chu said this, he couldn't see his thoughts.

I quietly glanced at Chu Nantang, and saw Jiang Rongwan sitting next to him, and I was sitting opposite them just now.

is indeed a talented woman, which is enviable.

The two seem to get along well. I haven't seen her for three years, Jiang Rongwan has an outstanding temperament and is becoming more and more beautiful.

She is very good at dressing herself up and can show her strengths.

During the banquet, only Father Chu occasionally chatted with Chu Nantang, and Mrs. Chu was a very traditional and virtuous woman.

In their time, women obeyed the three obediences and four virtues, and during the banquet, Mrs. Chu was responsible for serving dishes to Master Chu.

The fish that is sandwiched into the rice bowl must have all the spines removed.

I buried my head in pretending to eat seriously, and the table was full of delicacies, but it was like chewing wax.

At the end, Master Chu put down his chopsticks, glanced at Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu understood, wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk silk, and said with a smile: "Nantang, you are so close to Zen Xin, Zen Xin has accompanied you all these years, we are also very relieved, Zen Xin This child is well-behaved and lovely, I discussed it with your father, and I thought that Zen Xin would be a daughter, and you would have a sister in the future." Not alone. ”

Chu Nantang subconsciously looked up at me, his eyes met, and he said a thousand words, but he didn't know where to start.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, and after being silent for a while, Chu Nantang said: "You have to ask Zen Xin about this, if she is willing, I am happy." ”

Glad? At that moment, my heart clenched together and I felt a pain. I thought he at least knew my mind, knew what I thought about him, why......

Mrs. Chu raised her eyes and looked at me with loving eyes: "Zen heart, are you willing to enter my Chu family." Be our daughter, Cheng Huan's knees? ”

I got up in a panic, bit my lip, and said with difficulty: "Zen heart does not dare to climb high, Zen heart knows that he is from a humble background and has a thin life, and he is not blessed to be favored by his wife and master. ”

Mrs. Chu's eyes sank, her smile gradually faded, and then she said: "Think about it again, you are the daughter of my Chu family, it is something you want me to do, and I will not force you, so there is no need to be so flustered." ”

The dinner ended. I hurriedly left the front hall, and Chu Nantang actually chased after me.

"Zen Heart!"

I shook off his hand angrily, full of grievances: "Chu Nantang, you want me to be your sister so much?" ”

"What are you angry about?"

Quietly swallowed the bitterness in his throat, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm not angry, it's not worth mentioning, anyway, in your eyes, it doesn't matter." ”

"If you don't want to, your father won't force ......"

I took a deep breath and asked him, "When will you get married?" ”

He was silent for a while and said, "Listen to your parents." ”

I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled: "You are so filial, do you like her?" ”

"Zen mind, for me. It doesn't matter at all whether you like it or not, or what kind of woman you marry. ”

"Really?" I've been expecting him for so many years, and I've got such an answer, and yes, he has never treated me as a woman in his daily life.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Jiang Rongwan walking over from not far away.

"Your fiancée is here, you can talk slowly, I'll go first."

At this moment, watching them together, one more second is torment. Locked the door, tears could no longer hold back the tears.

I cried all night, and when I woke up, my eyes were swollen.

Thinking of yesterday's events, I suddenly felt that there was nothing to love, if Chu Nantang was not the Chu Nantang I knew, a Chu Nantang who didn't know love, what was the meaning of my stay?

Until Mo Xiang came to see me: "Sister, you ...... What happened to you? ”

I rolled over and turned my back to her: "It's nothing, I'm a little tired." ”

"I heard a little about last night, the lord and the lady wanted to take you as a goddaughter, but you refused."

I closed my eyes and didn't want to talk about it again.

Seeing that I didn't want to say more, Mo Xiang knew that I was in a bad mood, so she didn't ask any more, but just accompanied me quietly.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside, and I said, "Mo Xiang, go and see who it is, just say that I am sick and still asleep." ”

"Okay." Mo Xiang got up and went to open the door, and after a long while, she ran back and whispered, "Sister, Madam is here." ”

My heart tightened, and I hurriedly wiped my tear-stained face, hurriedly combed my hair and clothes, and Mrs. Chu had already walked in.

After getting up from the bed and saluting, Mrs. Chu looked solemn and said, "I'm going to talk to Zen Xin for a while, and you all go out first." ”

Mo Xiang subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at me, full of worry, and silently retreated.

At this time, only Mrs. Chu and I were left in the room, and there was a deathly silence, and her cold eyes looked me up and down, and finally broke the deadlock first.

"Zen Xin, I'm also here, what are you thinking in your heart, I can guess seven or eight points."

Having said that, I don't need to hide it anymore.

"When I came to Young Master Chu's side, I had no ill intentions, I just wanted to see him happy."

"Really?" Mrs. Chu sighed: "Maybe you thought so at first, but now, aren't you asking for more?" You don't want to join the Chu family to be our daughter, don't you have a bad idea of Nantang? ”

"Young Master Chu is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and it is normal to have a wrong thought. I get along with him day and night, and I have already developed feelings, Mrs. Chu, I didn't think too much. Don't ask for too much, just let me stay by his side. ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" Mrs. Chu sat down elegantly, straightened the silk in her hand, and was silent for a while before she said: "Feelings are such a thing, and they are always uneasy. You really don't want much now, and you can see that you are not greedy for Nantang or anything. It's just that when you look at him, marry a wife and have children, you will unconsciously ask for more, fall into demons, and have obsessions. ”

"Mrs. Chu, please tell me directly, what do you want me to do?"

"Nantang and Rong Wan have already had a marriage contract. Don't come over and intervene again, disturbing Nantang's heart. In this way, everyone is happy, Rong Wan, this child, I grew up watching, I love her, and I love her like my own daughter, I can't bear her to suffer a little grievance, she married Nantang, I can rest assured. ”

"What about Nantang? Will he be happy? Will Yung be happy? ”

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, ancient and modern."

I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes: "That's not the case! Nantang said. His parents love each other very much, and it was not his parents' order at the beginning, and the matchmaker said that they went through a lot of hardships before they were together. Nantang also said that do not do to others what you do not want. ”

Mrs. Chu was indifferent and sighed lightly: "That's true, but I won't allow Nantang to marry you." Spread it out, won't our Chu family be laughed at? ”

"I don't want any name, just stay by his side, can't that?"

"Zen heart, I said it, a person didn't expect that he would end up with so much at the beginning, you just take it for granted, but have you ever thought that with Nantang as you, you will really be happy?"

"Is identity so important? Isn't it good to love each other and spend this life with each other? ”

Mrs. Chu didn't seem to want to talk any further, so she got up and said, "I also said what I should say, I don't want to be embarrassed by you, you have to be self-aware in life." No matter in terms of background, upbringing, or knowledge, you can't compare to Rong Wan. I never thought that two people with very different identities would end up together. ”

Will you lose even the right to stay with him? If it's love, we can still fight for it.

But he never said that he loved me, and even wanted to marry someone else wholeheartedly, so what am I?

Calm down and think about it, Mrs. Chu has some words, and what she said is not unreasonable.

Now just thinking about staying by his side, I can't even think about the picture of him with other women.

Seeing him holding other women in his arms, it was like Ling Chi's torture.

Not long after Mrs. Chu left, Mo Xiang came in with some food, and when she saw my dejected appearance, she stepped forward and asked, "What did Madame tell you?" Why do you look like you have lost your soul? ”

Tears condensed in her eyes, dripping silently, Mo Xiang was anxious, and stepped forward to hug me: "Sister, don't cry!" ”

She stayed quietly with me until my mood calmed down.

"Mo Xiang, I think, let's leave." Because I can't watch him marry another woman.

Mo Xiang looked up at me in surprise: "Leave?" Where can we go? Now the soldiers are in chaos, in the Chu family...... Pretty good. ”

I patted the back of her hand: "If you think it's good, it's okay if you want to stay." ”

"I ...... I didn't think it was particularly good, I just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just...... He hasn't come back yet, and I want to wait for Qiushui to come back. ”
