Chapter 7 Secret Feelings
He is extremely disgusted with human sophistication, but he is so humble and tactful in doing things.
Even drinking, how much he loved to drink, he longed for that drunken hazy feeling. But it never seemed to belong to him, because he was never drunk.
Of course, this is not to say how good he is drinking, but rather that he ...... Don't dare to get drunk!.
Today, the wind by the river is very strong, Zhang Xiting's face has been slightly red, he touched his face, a little hot, wiped his mouth with his cuffs, stood up with the guardrail, roared and threw the wine bottle in his hand into the river, the river rippled, but his heart was as calm and terrible as stagnant water.
The cries of the vendors at the end of the alley are still pleasant, the cry of children came from the bridge, and under the willows by the lake, in the microwave boat, everything seems so harmonious, but he is so out of place.
It was already dusk when he returned to Zhang's mansion, and as before, everyone ignored him.
Zhang Xiting habitually looked around, everyone was busy day after day, everything was so orderly.
However, the difference today is that the house is full of lights, and everywhere you can see is hung with red satin and the word "red Xi" is pasted.
Tomorrow, my father will marry his fifth concubine.
Zhang Xiting had heard the people in the house talk before, and this time he married the adopted daughter of the Su family, Su Nian.
It is said that Su Nian is obviously a daughter, but she wants to live like a man; she was born with a face that captivates the country and the city, but she never shows it in front of others; she has never gone to school, and her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs are all exquisite, and no one can compare.
But even so, what could he do? He did not bow down under the riches, just for the twenty taels of silver.
He let out a long sigh, sighed to himself, and sighed at this "fifth aunt" who was about to enter the house!
He and his mother's room were in the far corner of the inner courtyard, but this was not Zhang Yuanluo's arrangement, but they themselves asked to move over, and sometimes there were some things, and it was not a good thing to avoid them.
When passing through the corridor, there were bursts of chasing and laughing in the garden, Zhang Xiting had long been used to it, but his father was playing with those women again.
Zhang Xiting continued to walk without raising his head, but was stopped from behind, and he didn't have to think about it to know that now in this Zhang Mansion, except for Zhang Yunyu, there will be no second person who will be idle and bored to provoke himself.
Zhang Yunyu is Zhang Xiting's eldest brother, two years older than Zhang Xiting, and is the eldest young master of this Zhang Mansion. Usually not good or bad for Zhang Xiting, but at least in Zhang Xiting's opinion, this eldest brother should be the only one in the house who will treat himself as a second son!
However, it is precisely because of this relationship that Zhang Xiting inexplicably feels uncomfortable, after all, the eldest brother is the heir, everyone holds the eldest brother, and his father even handed over the gambling house, pawnshop, and farm house to the eldest brother to take care of.
After all, he is just the son of a nameless and penniless subordinate, and it is already a great shame to stay in Zhangfu. Therefore, whenever he and Zhang Yunyu stay together, a sense of oppression fills the whole body.
Zhang Xiting stopped and turned around. Zhang Yunyu's face was as unchanged as ever with a smile that had not changed for thousands of years. He's got it all, how can he not laugh?
Zhang Yunyu walked in front of Zhang Xiting, but Zhang Xiting unconsciously took a small step back.
Zhang Yunyu was stunned for a moment, and then regained his smile, he was also accustomed to Zhang Xiting's natural resistance.
Zhang Yunyu stretched out his hand and forcibly hugged Zhang Xiting's shoulder, and said with a wicked smile: "Let's go, big brother will take you out to play." ”
Zhang Xiting asked blankly, "Where are you going?"
......
In the middle of the night, two figures appeared in the corner of the Su family's courtyard, tiptoeing against the wall.
"Big, big brother, isn't this not good?" Zhang Xiting always had a feeling of being a thief.
Zhang Yunyu slanted his mouth and smiled: "What are you panicking about? I heard that this Su Nian is a peerless beauty, don't you want to see in advance the appearance of our future fifth aunt?"
Zhang Xiting muttered, "I ......"
"Let's go, grind and chirp, it's all here, hurry up and keep up. ”
“......”
The night moon is silent, and the cicadas and frogs are noisy, which disturbs this lonely realm.
Zhang Yunyu gently made a small hole in the paper window, and brought his eyes close to the small hole, and Su Nian sat alone at the head of the bed in the room, looking at the candle in front of him and pondering blankly......
Zhang Yunyu raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiting, his eyes rolled and motioned for him to look.
Zhang Xiting looked at Zhang Yunyu who seemed to be a little lost, and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't the bride beautiful?"
Zhang Yunyu glanced at him, shook his head and sighed: "No, it's because it's so beautiful, so I feel it's a pity!"
Zhang Xiting bowed his head and approached the small hole in disbelief, but the moment he caught a glimpse of Su Nian, the string in his heart was inexplicably pulled.
Su Nian was wearing a light purple water-sleeved robe at the moment, the candle flame was flickering, and his side was like a light cage of smoke, as otherworldly as a hibiscus out of the water, and the extraordinary dust was comparable, every cheek and cluster, every move touched Zhang Xiting's heartstrings.
Just this glance made Zhang Xiting understand, what is love at first sight? What is a look at ten thousand years? What is love at first sight?
From non-turbid wine to people, it should be a dream of red dust!
Only sigh: how ridiculous is the red dust......
......
"Squeak!"
There was a knock at the door, thinking someone had returned.
Zhang Yunyu listened to the footsteps from far and near, and began to panic, if he was discovered, he would inevitably not be caught as a thief in the official mansion.
I still wanted to let Zhang Xiting think about ideas together, but when I saw it, Zhang Xiting was still staring at the small hole in the window and didn't react at all.
This kid, under such a big movement, can still peep so peacefully, I'm afraid that he is either deaf or stupid!
Forget it, Zhang Xiting doesn't seem to be able to count on it.
Zhang Yunyu quickly looked around, but there was an exit in the small courtyard, even if he wanted to go over the wall, it was too late.
The footsteps were close at hand, Zhang Yunyu gritted his teeth, and in desperation, he pushed open the door in front of him, grabbed the corner of Zhang Xiting's clothes, and dragged Zhang Xiting into Su Nian's room.
......
Facing the two strange men who suddenly broke in, Su Nian actually stayed where he was, and even forgot to call.
It's a wonderful night, in one room, three stupid two!
However, if she spoke up, it would be even more difficult to explain.
Zhang Yunyu raised his fingers and sighed, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Su, it's really presumptuous, can you help us, we are not bad people." ”
Zhang Yunyu must not have thought that he would be so embarrassed, the dignified young master of the Zhang family, if he was regarded as a thief, wouldn't he be laughable and generous?
Su Nian came back to his senses after a while, but there was a trace of fear in his pure eyes, and even the corners of his eyes were trembling slightly, and he suddenly turned around, picked up the bow and arrow on the cabinet and pointed at the two: "You, who are you?
Su Nian looked at the two people in front of him in fear, Zhang Yunyu was dressed in a rich silk satin, and he was wearing unicorn nephrite around his waist, and even the crown of his hair was inlaid with jasper gemstones, full of rich boy appearance;
The sound outside was getting closer and closer, Zhang Yunyu was nervous and unconsciously took two steps forward, but Su Nian was so frightened that he retreated again and again.
Zhang Yunyu immediately stopped, stretched out his hand and said: "Miss Su, I'm really sorry, it was abrupt, it happened suddenly, I will explain to you in the next day, can I ask Miss Su to help us first, we are really not bad people." ”
Immediately, there was a knock at the door: "Sister, are you sleeping?"
The person who knocked on the door was his younger brother Su Qing, thinking that he should come because of his marriage tomorrow.
Su Nian looked at the two people in front of him, with his delicate face and bright and luxurious clothes, he really didn't look like a thief.
"Ah Qing, my sister has already fallen asleep, let's talk about something tomorrow!"
Su Qing thought that he was a little discouraged, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, then sister have a good rest, and Ah Qing will go back to the room first." ”
Listening to the footsteps outside the house getting farther and farther away, Zhang Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and caught a glimpse that Zhang Xiting was unusual, and he was still staying in place, but his eyes were staring at Su Nian without leaving him.
Zhang Yunyu pulled Zhang Xiting, wanting him to come back to his senses, and then said humbly: "Thank you Miss Su for helping Brother Zhang relieve today's siege, and I will thank him in the future." It was late at night, so I didn't disturb Miss Su's rest, and retired first. After that, he was ready to pull Zhang Xiting and leave.
"Wait!" As soon as the two of them turned around, they were stopped by Su Nian.
Su Nian stepped forward tremblingly and asked, "Are you from the Zhang family?"
Zhang Yunyu turned around: "Yes." ”
"That old man and you ......"
"It's my father. ”
The candle flame flickered, Xiao Xiao fell, and the eyes were hazy, and each could not see the other's face clearly.
"I'm going to marry Master Zhang tomorrow, why are you here tonight?
Zhang Yunyu turned around and pulled up Zhang Xiting, and the two walked to the door, Zhang Yunyu paused, thought about it, turned around and smiled kindly: "Don't worry, Miss Su, when you enter Zhang's Mansion in the future, our brothers will cover you." ”
"You haven't answered me yet!"
Su Nian seemed to be a little anxious and shouted, the two brothers turned back together, Zhang Yunyu smiled with relief, and said, "Miss Su, see you tomorrow!"
Seeing the two of them disappear into the thickening night, Su Nian was a little overwhelmed......
Closed the door, returned to the house, pushed open the screen window, looked at the bright moon in the sky, silent, and the past inexplicably poured into my heart like a tide.
When I was eleven years old, if I hadn't accidentally overheard the conversation between my father and uncle, I probably wouldn't have understood the reason for all this in my life.
The so-called truth is really as you think, and even your own existence is very special, or it can be called outrageous.
