Chapter 113: Moonlight and Water
Wen Yi came to her senses and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a slight knocking sound at the window, but it was covered by the sound of water, and she couldn't hear it very clearly.
She was furious in her heart, thinking about the third watch in the middle of the night, how could someone knock on her window?! She immediately rolled over, hurriedly put on her coat, got out of bed and put on her shoes, and walked carefully to the window, and then looked next to the large screen.
There was moonlight outside the window, reflecting on the window paper, faintly showing the shadow of a small half of a person's head. Wen Yi screamed in surprise, and was about to turn around to look for something heavy, but she heard the person outside the window say something in a low voice, she was stunned, she almost couldn't believe her ears, hesitated, bit her lip, she reached out and grabbed a brass candlestick, pulled out the candle, blocked it in front of her chest, slowly walked to the window, pulled up the bolt, and gently pushed, under the moonlight, Liu Dongxing's long-lost face appeared in front of her.
And he stood under the window. The waterfall formed a pond at the base of the wall, and the pond was piled up with some rocks to form an embankment, which was originally no place for people to put their feet, but Liu Dongxing actually stepped on those stones and walked over from the other side of the pond. The place where he stepped on was slightly lower, and the windowsill was parallel to his shoulder, so he tilted his head, chewed a little smile on his lips, stared at Wen Yi, and said in a low voice: "Long time no see, you...... Luckily? ”
Wen Yi's legs were weak, her right hand supported the windowsill, she barely stood up, took a few deep breaths, and held the candlestick tightly with her left hand, neither lifting nor putting it down, and only after a while gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Why are you here?!" ”
Liu Dongxing stared at the spikes on the candlestick, recalled its weight again, secretly wiped his sweat, and said with a busy smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I heard that you passed by the sea, so I thought about looking for an opportunity to meet you." But you have never left the elders all day long, I really have no choice, so I have to ask Brother Luo to help with this......"
Wen Yi was taken aback and was terrified: "This is what you deliberately arranged?!" You mean I live here too?! That...... ......," she thought of the housekeeper and the daughter-in-law who led the way, and her heart was in turmoil, "how many people know that you will be coming over tonight?!" You...... You're too bold, what will happen to you and my reputation if it gets spread?! Don't say that your career will be affected, even me...... I don't have to see people anymore! She couldn't hold back her tears, "What are you doing here?!" How many ways can you not meet if you want to meet? I want to use this one! ”
Seeing this, Liu Dongxing hurriedly reassured her and said, "Don't panic, don't panic!" No one will know! That Tan Shi is the right-hand man under Brother Luo, but he only knows that you know Brother Luo, so he will not suspect that you will live here. This is the best courtyard in the whole courtyard, it is specially reserved for his own people, and he does not entertain guests, and he thinks that Brother Luo has the heart to entertain you with the best house, but he doesn't want people to gossip! He paused, "As for the daughter-in-law, it is a family that I have taken on my back, and she is only temporarily settled in Brother Luo's property, she also doesn't know that I will come over tonight, and she doesn't even know that you and I know each other, you don't have to worry." He looked at Wen Yi and lowered his voice: "It's about your reputation, no matter how anxious I am, how can I mess around?" ”
Wen Yi bit her lip, and finally endured her tears, and felt a little relieved, but when she remembered that the two were lonely and widowed, and met in the middle of the night, she felt ashamed and embarrassed, and gritted her teeth and said: "Since you know that this matter is related to my reputation, why do you want to do this?!" It's the people under Brother Luo who don't know, there are servants of the Gu family inside and outside here, you enter the house from the outside, but if you meet someone on duty at night, you will not reveal your identity, and you will be killed as a thief! You are too willful, you need to know everything, why are you so uncontrollable?! If you want to see me, you can send a close girl to me during the day, and I will ...... I will always find a chance to meet you......" She only felt that her face was spicy, and she held back her shame and reluctantly continued: "When you are in Gu Zhuang, don't you also think of a way?" Why is it ...... now?"
Liu Dongxing's face was stained with a suspicious flush: "I only learned that you left Gu Zhuang a few days ago, and I only heard yesterday morning that you are very likely to pass by Guihai and live in the city, although the boat hired by the Gu family cannot go to sea for the time being, but no one knows when you will find the sea ship to go north, I am afraid that if I hesitate, I will miss you, so I would rather take a small risk......" He paused slightly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a sly smile: "I came in from the small corner gate at the back of the garden, and Brother Luo had already removed the people in advance, Your servants don't know that there is a gate there, so naturally they won't send people here, and when the corner gate goes out, it is a forest, which is also Brother Luo's property, and no one will see it. I'm coming over tonight, except for Brother Luo, who knows in advance, only you know, I know, God knows, and the earth knows......"
Wen Yi couldn't help but take a sip at him: "Don't quibble here!" She thought about it carefully, although she was relieved, but she always felt that it was inappropriate, and she was a little angry, she looked up at Liu Dongxing, and reprimanded with a red face: "Rao is that you are thoughtful, outsiders don't know, a private meeting in the middle of the night is not what you and I should do after all!" You...... You are willing to take such a risk, why can't you be more patient and wait until after dawn?! Her cheeks turned redder and her voice was quieter, "My sisters may plan to go out for a stroll, if you send a letter to me, I will walk with her, outside, if you want to find a chance to talk, it is always not difficult......" With Wenhui's temperament, she will not stop walking outside for a while, if she is tired, find a teahouse and wait, with Liu Dongxing and Luo Mingmin's ability, can't you find a chance to talk to her? She will take Hollyhock out, this girl has always been credible......
As soon as she finished being shy, Wen Yi was suddenly shocked: she would have such a thought! Is it really the black who is close to ink?! Immediately, he was ashamed, glared at Liu Dongxing fiercely, and silently recited the Buddha in his heart.
Liu Dongxing looked at her expression changing, and the second monk was a little confused, but thinking that she was not unwilling to meet with her in private, and she was a little happy, so she said: "Ming'er, I'm afraid you don't have time to go out for a stroll, Brother Luo has already told the family, and tomorrow morning, someone will definitely be sent to pick you up and go to the Luo family's house as a guest." I...... I discussed something with Brother Luo in advance, and I will do it tomorrow, and I am afraid that if you don't know in advance, you will inadvertently ruin our calculations, so I asked me to come to see you tonight. ”
Wen Yi didn't know what it was like for a while, bit her lip, shook the candlestick, and said with a little annoyance in her tone, "What's the matter?!" ”
Liu Dongxing was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he seemed to understand something, smiled secretly, and only looked at Wen Yi with his eyes, but did not speak.
Wen Yi's face was hot again, and he raised the candlestick, but he paused abruptly halfway through, and then quickly raised his right hand and slapped Liu Dongxing's shoulder: "What are you laughing at?!" If you have something to say, say it! ”
Liu Dongxing grabbed her hand, Wen Yi's face turned red, and she wanted to withdraw her hand suddenly, but she couldn't pull it back, she was in a hurry, and she was about to scold him when she opened her mouth, but he stretched out his arm into the window and held her left wrist, her hands suddenly couldn't move, and she was anxious and angry. Liu Dongxing "shh ”
Wen Yi froze suddenly, thought about it, weighed it again and again, and finally glared at him hatefully, then lowered his head with a red face and stopped resisting, but he still couldn't help but speak: "Let go!" If you dare to do this again, don't come to see me again!" ”
When Liu Dongxing heard this, he took a closer look at Wen Yi's expression, knowing that he was always too Meng Lang, for fear that Wen Yi would really be angry, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and hurriedly let go of his hands, but his right hand made a little skill, snatched the candlestick, and smiled carefully: "This thing weighs three catties, you are tired of holding it carefully for a long time." ”
Wen Yi glared at him and made a gesture to close the window, Liu Dongxing was in a hurry, and hurriedly held it with his hand: "Don't close it, I still have a lot to say to you!" ”
Wen Yi blushed and said, "I have nothing to say to you!" After saying that, he was about to close the window, Liu Dongxing hurriedly put his palm in to stop the window frame from closing, and was pinched for a while, and couldn't help but scream: "Oops! Wen Yi was taken aback, hurriedly let go, pushed the window open, and looked in: "But it's hurt?!" "Anxiously to pull his injured hand.
Liu Dongxing held her fingers with his backhand and grinned: "You're not really angry with me, are you?" ”
Wen Yi spread out his hand, and found that it was not even red on it, so he knew that he had been scolded again. She was really angry this time, smashed his hand away, and said coldly: "The little woman doesn't know the amorous feelings, and she doesn't have the time to flirt with you, so Master Liu will find another herb!" "Then close the window.
Liu Dongxing hurriedly held the window: "Don't worry, I know it's wrong, and I don't dare to do it again in the future." You let me make it clear, it's a matter of life for you and me, not fun! ”
Wen Yi listened to his words, and somehow, a wave of grievances surged in her heart: "Then you say!" You also know that it is a matter of life for you and me, not for fun? But you ...... But after a few months, except for two peace letters at the beginning, there was no news, and I didn't even know that you were admitted to the martial arts, let alone ...... You are not what you used to be, you have won the favor of many famous generals, and you want to be recruited as the fast son-in-law of the East Bed, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are even worried about which family to choose for you! When I hear these words from other people's mouths, do you know what my heart feels like?! Her eyelashes fluttered, and she couldn't hold back any longer, and shed a tear: "If you are ...... If you had changed your mind, you might have told me earlier, so that my elderly grandmother would have to worry about you and me, and it would be difficult to rest day and night......"
Where is there still a smile on Liu Dongxing's face: "What are you talking about?!" If I had betrayed the alliance, I would have been from home a long time ago, and I would not have appeared in front of you now! Since I have come to see you, it is for you and my marriage, and if you don't even understand this, won't you call me ......" He paused abruptly, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down a little, "from a young age...... I have suffered from rumors! You know everything in your heart, with our love for four years of acquaintance, why don't you believe my words, but instead listen to other people's rumors?! You say that, I ...... I feel bad! ”
Wen Yi lowered her head and wiped her tears, she already had a little remorse in her heart, after listening to Liu Dongxing's words, she remembered his previous experience, with the contradiction between him and his uncle and aunt, how could he accept the marriage they arranged? On the other hand, if the marriage really suits his wishes, how can Uncle Liu and his wife satisfy him?
She raised her head, hesitated slightly, and then whispered, "I said it wrong, you...... Don't be angry......"
Liu Dongxing's expression slowed down, and his tone softened a lot: "I don't blame you, I'm also at fault, if I hadn't been able to give you a letter for a long time, you wouldn't have been flustered......
Both of them regretted it a little, but when they saw each other's reaction, they were secretly happy in their hearts, and they all raised their heads and wanted to speak, their eyes were facing each other, Wen Yi blushed, and looked away again, the corners of Liu Dongxing's mouth curled slightly, his hand moved slightly, and he held Wen Yi's hand resting on the windowsill: "I'm very happy." ”
Wen Yi's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and casually found a topic: "Why are you here?" I thought...... You're in the capital right now...... That's why my grandmother let me go to Beijing with the people from the long house...... "I paused, my cheeks were hot, and my head hung lower.
At this time, although it was near the end of the month, the waning moon in the sky was bright and shining, reflected in the pool, reflecting a faint light, and the water light was reflected on Wen Yi's face, making her skin more and more crystal white. Liu Dongxing smiled slightly, never looked away for a moment, and said slowly: "I have something to do, so I came to find Brother Luo." This thing...... If it is delayed for a few more days, it will be useless, so I want to take advantage of the fact that the wax moon has not yet arrived, get things done, and after returning to Beijing, I can concentrate on preparing for the martial arts examination in the spring of tomorrow. ”
Wen Yi's face became hotter and hotter when he saw it, so he had to answer indiscriminately: "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Dongxing didn't answer, but said, "Tomorrow, Fourth Uncle Luo's family will return to their home." Uncle Luo's three-year term in Nanhai expired, and he was supposed to return to Beijing to report on his work, but the Ministry of War temporarily transferred him to northern Xinjiang, so only his family members entered Beijing. Fourth Uncle Luo has always taken care of Brother Luo and me, and when the Gu family was in turmoil before, when I went to move the rescue soldiers, I still saved his face, so I told Brother Luo, tomorrow I will let you meet Aunt Luo with the people in your family's room. She's a very nice talker and will definitely like you. ”
Wen Yi was puzzled in her heart, and looked up at him: "Are you deliberately letting me befriend this Mrs. Luo?" Why? "Thinking about it carefully, Fourth Master Luo must be the elder of the Luo family who served as a general of the fifth grade, and he was suddenly transferred to Northern Xinjiang, but his family members wanted to enter Beijing instead...... She was taken aback: "Is there any movement in the northern Xinjiang?!" "In this way, at this time in the previous life, it seems that in less than a year, there will be a big war in northern Xinjiang.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Liu Dongxing's eyes, but he quickly changed to a smile: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary military attache transfer, and the family members of the guards stationed in northern Xinjiang need to be connected to Beijing, which is also an old practice, and nothing will happen." After a pause, "When you see Fourth Aunt Luo tomorrow, don't mention this." Aren't you a believer? She likes to listen to allusions in Buddhist scriptures, or the temple scenery in Binh Duong, and the rituals she does every year. ”
Wen Yi was shocked in her heart, but after listening to Liu Dongxing's words, she still forced herself to suppress her uneasiness: "Why did you suddenly let me meet Mrs. Luo Si?" and let me do what she liked. She raised her eyes to look at Liu Dongxing, "You just said...... Have a plan with Brother Luo, what is it? Tell me, if I don't make it clear, how will I know if I've ruined your plan? ”
(I won't say anything, ask for pink...... )
