Chapter 79: June Lotus
Mrs. Chu just stared at me and didn't speak, but because of this, I became more and more uneasy.
It wasn't until Chu Nantang came out of the inner room and asked Sheng'an: "Mother, why are you here?" ”
"I'll see if you're better." When Mrs. Chu saw her son, her stern face finally eased a little, but her tone was still a little unkind: "It just so happens that I came to see you now, otherwise how would I know that you still have a connection with this girl?" ”
Chu Nantang helped Mrs. Chu sit down and personally made her a cup of tea.
The corner of his eye swept over me lightly, and he smiled: "Mother, Zen heart is also a good intention." Coming to visit my condition, the past is gone. ”
Mrs. Chu lowered her eyebrows, took a sip of tea silently, and didn't blame, just said, "You go, I don't want to say it a second time, don't come to the Chu family again." ”
I looked up at Chu Nantang, turned around and left the Chu Mansion in disappointment.
When I returned to Shen's house, I saw that Shen Qiushui was packing up the relics in person, and when he saw me coming back, he only glanced at it, and then buried his head and continued to clean up.
"Where's the Silent Fragrance?" I asked.
"I don't know, I scolded me, and now I ran out and I don't see anyone."
I looked at him in amazement: "Why are you scolding her?" ”
"She touches my things at will, shouldn't she be scolded?"
"It's not a particularly valuable thing, you know that Moxiang likes you, why do you scold her for these things?"
Who knew that Shen Qiushui angrily threw down the burden in his hand and strode towards me.
I staggered back a few steps, and he cornered me.
"What are you doing?!" I put my hand against his chest to keep him from coming any closer.
"I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing?"
"Where I go, that's my freedom, you don't have the right to care." I am very firm about this.
He narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, revealing a cold chill: "You think I don't know, you are going to find Chu Nantang." ”
"It's none of your business!"
"Yes, I have nothing to do with me, so what do I have to do with Mo Xiang and you? Who are you to question me?! ”
"Mo Xiang is my sister, I won't let anyone hurt her!"
Shen Qiushui sneered: "Huh...... What a good sister! It's a pity. Your dear sister may not appreciate it! ”
I pushed him away fiercely, turned around and strode out of the Shen family, to find Mo Xiang.
After looking for more than an hour, I found her figure by the nearby pond, thought about it, and slowly walked towards her.
Hearing the footsteps, Mo Xiang subconsciously looked back and found that it was me, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes.
Some angrily asked, "Why are you here?" ”
I walked up to her: "I'm worried about you, so I came here, it's getting late now, it's not safe for you to wander outside alone, let's go back." ”
I reached out to pull her, but she shook my hand away: "I'm not going back!" ”
After a moment of silence, I asked her, "Who are you angry about?" ”
She turned around angrily and stared at me, "You still have the face to ask me?" Do you remember what you promised me? ”
"You make it clear first, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Mo Xiang laughed mockingly: "I always thought that the person on the painting was painted by me, so Brother Shen would cherish it so much." Until today, I didn't know that the person in the painting was you! ”
"This ......" I didn't know how to explain to her for a while: "Mo Xiang, I won't regret what I promised you, and it's impossible to rob Shen Qiushui with you." ”
"You don't rob me, though. But Brother Shen only likes you, as long as you stay by his side, he doesn't want to look at me. ”
"Shen Qiushui is really that good? Don't forget, even without me, he will have others, and no one is special in his heart. Silent incense. We don't need to turn our faces for the sake of an outsider. ”
Mo Xiang's attitude softened a little, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said in a choked voice: "Sister, I know that you are for my good." You are the only person in this world who will not hurt me, but I really like Brother Shen, so ...... Would you like to disappear from his eyes? ”
I opened my mouth, and there was a feeling of sadness in my heart, which gradually spread.
"You want me to go for his sake?"
"Not really." Mo Xiang wanted to explain. The language of the organization as best he could, said: "Just let you leave temporarily, our sisters will still have a day of reunion, and it will not be goodbye." ”
I sighed lightly, didn't look at her again, and only said, "That painting was painted for me by Chu Nantang on a whim at that time, but it was later lost and picked up by Shen Qiushui." So...... This painting really has nothing to do with him, do you understand? ”
"And he still keeps it?!" The silent aroma whirred.
"If you want me to leave. I can leave, as long as you're happy, for me, it doesn't matter where you go. ”
"Really?"
"Hmm." I nodded: "It's just a silent fragrance, the relationship between people is not as simple as you think." It's not that I left, or if you killed Jiang Rongwan, Shen Qiushui would fall in love with you. ”
"As long as you are all gone, I stay by his side, and one day, he will know that I am the one who really loves him, and he will change his mind."
I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled: "Okay, then you can try, I just hope you don't hurt yourself, if he doesn't fall in love with you in the end, you shouldn't be too sad." ”
"Sister, you are so good to me." Mo Xiang's eyes were red, and she felt a little guilty. Didn't dare to look at me again.
"I'm good to you because you're my sister, don't say these things to relatives. Let's go back. ”
Shen Qiushui said that he would go back to Liangzhou tomorrow, and Mo Xiang and I were in a hurry and didn't bring anything with us, so we went back in the evening and packed up at will.
Even if it is as Mo Xiang said, I will never appear in front of Shen Qiushui again when I leave. But I'm afraid of many difficulties.
Early the next morning, when I saw Shen Qiushui washing the fur of Liangju in the yard, Mo Xiang pushed me.
I glanced back at her and walked over to Shen Qiushui.
He turned his head to me and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'd like to talk to you about it, the ...... My master's birthday is approaching, and I want to go back to the Taoist temple to celebrate his birthday. ”
While he was busy washing, he didn't look at me: "Do you think I will agree?" ”
"I didn't ask you to agree, it's my business that I'm leaving, and it has nothing to do with you, just to say to you, thank you for taking care of my Mo Xiang."
With a 'Peng' sound, he dropped the brush in his hand. Stared at me with a serious face: "You just want to leave like that?" What am I doing bad to you?! ”
"Shen Qiushui, calm down, I'll discuss it with you, and then talk about it...... With Mo Xiang with you, I won't never go back. ”
He looked at me for a long time with half-squinted eyes, and nodded, "Okay." You go, I'll give you a year, if you don't come back in a year, I'll chop up your precious sister! ”
"Huh...... Don't be so fierce, just one year at a time. Silent ...... Help me keep an eye on her and don't bully her. ”
"Zen Heart!!" He closed his eyes and gasped hard before suppressing the anger in his heart: "Sometimes I really want to strangle you. ”
"If you really want to strangle me, it's not too late to do it."
"You!" Shen Qiushui hated itchy, but he didn't do it for a long time: "It's okay, I prefer challenging ones." That's how much fun it is. ”
I raised my eyebrows: "Then, you guys should go, I'll leave later." ”
"I don't mind sending someone to escort you to the Taoist temple."
I smiled at him: "Don't bother, I still have some personal matters that I haven't dealt with." ”
Shen Qiushui saw through my thoughts at a glance: "Are you referring to Chu Nantang?" ”
I didn't answer him, just smiled, turned around and told Mo Xiang: "I won't be with you this time, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
Mo Xiang's eyes lit up with infinite hope and longing, and without saying anything more, I went to go about my own business.
When they left, I didn't see them off, and Shen Qiushui didn't embarrass me, for a year, he had time to wait.
It's true that I want to go to the Taoist temple, but I still want to wait for Chu Nantang's illness to recover before setting off.
I didn't sneak into the Chu family without permission, so I could only stay outside every day and find the maids who came out to do errands inside to listen to the situation.
It's just that I heard that Chu Nantang's illness not only did not improve at all, but became more and more serious.
I pondered, I must find a way to go in and see him, and finally waited until Mrs. Chu and Master Chu went out in a carriage to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
Grandma Sun stayed behind to take care of Chu Nantang's daily life, and after they left, I dared to go to Grandma Sun.
"Why are you here again?"
"Grandma Sun, I'm worried about Nantang, come and have a look."
Mama Sun looked helpless: "This ...... Last time, Madame was angry about this for a long time, but this time she really can't. ”
"Grandma Sun, please, Nantang may also want to see me, with me with him, he will be in a better mood, and his illness will get better soon."
Mama Sun was silent for a long time. finally relieved: "You go, the lady and the lord will not come back for the time being, it is estimated that it will take half a month to go back and forth." ”
"Well, thank you, Grandma Sun."
When I went in, Chu Nantang was not lying on the bed, but practicing calligraphy in front of the bookcase. He looks very haggard.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the hand holding the pen paused, and subconsciously looked up.
"How do you ......"
I took the cloak from the hanger and walked up to put it on him: "I didn't go with them, I want to stay with you during this time." ”
He smiled lightly and straightened out the wolf's pen. It rested on the inkstone.
"Actually, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
I swallowed the bitterness in my throat: "You still say it's nothing, look how haggard you are now!" ”
He looked out the window and said softly: "It's almost June, and I don't know if the lotus flowers in that pond have bloomed?" ”
"If you want to see the lotus, I'll go with you."
With a smile in his eyes, he turned back to his room and began to pack up.
"What do you do?"
"Let's enjoy the lotus flowers."
"Do you have to bring so many things to enjoy the lotus flowers?"
He said: "We have half a month, and it is also a special taste to find a farmhouse to live in. ”
I was very happy with him, and there were some surprises that came unintentionally.
In fact, it doesn't matter where you go, the person around you is him. That's enough.
