Chapter 158: The lotus seed has a heart, but the lady does not
Xin Yi invited Cao Yi into the medicine hall.
The tea room near the river, by the window, burned incense, burned a charcoal stove, a simple set of tea sets, and you can see the Wuzhang River when you turn your head. Warm and cozy.
The two sat in pairs.
Xin Yi raised his hand and poured homemade medicinal tea for Cao Yi.
"The newly made medicinal tea, with lotus seed heart and ginseng tablets, clears the heart and removes troubles, Lord Cao tries ......"
Cao Yi was slightly embarrassed when he entered the door.
But at this time, facing Xin Yi, seeing her calm and indifferent, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if yesterday's unhappiness had never happened, it made him embarrassed.
"Thank you, lady." Cao Yi was polite, took a sip, and his eyebrows moved slightly.
It's not that he hasn't drunk lotus seed ginseng slice tea, but the taste made by Zhang Niangzi is different.
It is obviously a medicinal tea, but it has a sweet aftertaste when you drink it in your mouth.
"How?" Xin Yi asked with a smile.
"The lady is ingenious, and no matter what she does, she is excellent."
Cao Yi did not hesitate to praise.
After that, seeing Xin Yi smiling silently, he passed the envelope from a few points again.
"Lady take this back."
Standing outside the door, people came and went on Mahang Street, a man and a woman were inconvenient to say more, Xin Yi invited Cao Yi in and treated him with tea, just to ask about this matter.
"Lord Cao's words, I heard it confused."
She looked around the inner hall of the teahouse and smiled slightly.
"Not to mention that Lord Cao helped me and helped me at a critical time, but said that this pharmacy, if it weren't for Lord Cao's righteous help and rented it from Sun Yuzhi's hands to me, I may still be trapped in Zhangjia Village now, and the parents are short tossing, how can I have a comfortable life now? Lord Cao is kind to me, this money, you help me pay in advance, and I am still right. ”
Xin Yi pushed the envelope back.
"Master Cao doesn't accept this money, how can I be embarrassed?"
Cao Yi smiled bitterly and looked at her motionlessly.
"If I accept this money, it will really be in vain to read so many years of sage books."
He sighed lowly, his eyes seemed to be full of gloom, and he no longer saw the brightness and brightness of the beginning, and his words were hoarse and embarrassing.
"The Sun family's pharmacy was not rented by me, and I have never looked for Sun Yuzhi. I deserve Mrs. Zhang's kindness. ”
He bowed his head and drank the medicinal tea from the cup.
"It's my dullness. I thought that the lady wanted to rent a pharmacy just on a whim, and I just talked about it, but I didn't know that the lady really wanted to do something. I'm sorry, I didn't do anything, but I received the lady's gratitude in vain. ”
Xin Yi was slightly stunned.
Nowadays, women are married first, and everyone thinks that she is planning to remarry, who would have thought that what she was thinking about was really just a pharmacy?
Xin Yi laughed out loud.
"It turned out to be a beautiful misunderstanding. Lord Cao is not sorry for me, and this matter aside, you are still my benefactor and dear friend. ”
She picked up the teapot on the charcoal stove and refilled Cao Yi's cup.
"Lord Cao refuses to accept the money, so I will replace the wine with tea and thank Lord Cao for his help these days."
Cao Yi looked at her eyes for a long time and sighed.
"The lady smiled and said kindness, but every word was a clear line with me."
"Nothing." Xin Yi smiled and said, "I open the door to do business, and Lord Cao can patronize me at any time, how can I draw a line with you?" ”
Cao Yi did not speak.
After looking at her for a long time, he smiled bitterly and spoke with difficulty.
"The lady won't give Cao another chance. Drinking this is a loss and a farewell, right? ”
Xin Yi held the teapot in his hand, paused slightly, and slowly landed on the charcoal stove.
She leaned sideways, her eyelids were slightly constricted, she didn't look at Cao Yi's expression, and said in a calm and authentic tone:
"There are 300 poems, in a word, there is no evil. Innocence means no emptiness, and no emptiness leads to no regrets. The relationship between me and Master Cao is not fake, and we have done our best for each other these days, which is what is valuable. In my opinion, you and I are only for the sake of affection, and we never want to get anything from each other, and we can't talk about losing, so we don't need to say goodbye......"
Cao Yi smiled bitterly and glanced down at the teacup.
"The lotus seed has a heart, but the lady does not."
He didn't blame, his eyes were sad, and the smile on his face was as warm as ever.
Xin Yi smiled lightly, "Lord Cao doesn't know, I like to live with my fingers twisted." A day is a day, a day is counted. Alas, it's just a passerby, just looking at the present. ”
"Floating passerby?" Cao Yi held the teacup, his hand tightened slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "To the lady, I am a passerby, but the lady is to me...... Definitely. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xin Yi, suddenly raised his arm, drank the tea, and spoke slowly with astringency.
"That's it. The dove is rare, and the dove is easy to break. It's Cao who has no blessings, and it's rare for a beautiful woman to favor him. ”
“……”
Xin Yi didn't speak.
Since ancient times, there have always been many sayings about men and women breaking up, and it is a common practice to dump the pot on the other party. But at this moment, she didn't want to remind Cao Yi that it was their family that put pressure on her and humiliated and belittled her, which led to today's "lotus seeds have hearts, but women don't", and the "floating passers-by" she said are two different things from Cao Yi's understanding of "floating passers-by".
The end is decided, and it doesn't matter whose fault it is.
Originally, she came to experience a trip to Bianjing, and it was clear when she would leave. There was once a love affair that warmed her, which was a valuable gift, and she did not regret or complain.
She is willing to carry this pot.
Xin Yi raised the teacup in front of him and saluted Cao Yi.
"Even if I don't have a chance, I hope that Lord Cao will have smooth sailing in the future, and he will meet a good fate, and he will be able to make a good progress."
Cao Yi looked at her and didn't speak.
For a long time, my throat choked.
"Thank you, lady."
He looked much better than yesterday, but those sad eyes, his handsome but blank face, and his trembling hands when he raised the lamp gave Xin Yi the illusion that he had lost all his pain and was about to die.
In the afternoon, the Wuzhang River is sparkling and scaly, and there is a shallow light of the fine sunlight.
Cao Yi squinted to avoid the light, smiled slowly, and stood up on the table.
"I'm gone......"
Xin Yi looked at him, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart.
"I'll send Master Cao."
Cao Yi didn't speak, and smiled gently.
The two men quietly walked to the small door and said a silent goodbye with silence.
The shallots in the yard came out again, a piece of green, and it was soft to see.
The moment Cao Yi walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, "Take care, lady." ”
"Take care, sir."
Cao Yi's hand was on the latch, but he couldn't open it.
A thousand words are blocked in my throat, as if I am about to rush out.
He wanted to hug the little lady in front of him, tell her that he was reluctant to leave, and tell her that the years in this small courtyard were not long, but they carried the most lively time in his life.
And this time, it was not only Xin Yi who said goodbye, but also the only rebellion in his life, the only heartbeat, the only blazing fire, and the true feelings of forcing his mother to die for him.
"My mother booked me a wife's room." Cao Yi's brows furrowed inadvertently, not knowing whether it was to break the deadlock, or to take one last look at Xin Yi's reaction to his emotions, he said this in a smiling tone, but his eyes were full of unease.
Xin Yi was slightly stunned and smiled faintly.
"Really? Whose daughter? ”
Cao Yi showed a strange disgust on his face, and his voice was erratic.
"The granddaughter of Taiwei Lu's family."
There are many people surnamed Lu in Bianjing, but there is only one who is famous.
Xin Yi: "Congratulations. ”
Cao Yi raised his eyes suddenly, his breathing became very heavy and heavy, and he wanted to say something, but every word was very difficult, "Thank you." ”
Xin Yi smiled reluctantly and pulled the latch for him.
"Master Cao, go slowly."
Cao Yi looked at her without blinking, her body stiffened, and she couldn't move on her legs.
At this point, he knew that everything was doomed, but he still hoped that Xin Yi would say a word that he would not be willing to say.
Even if it is a sentence, he can regenerate the courage to fight against his mother's fate and against fate......
Xin Yi didn't.
She smiled as he left, silently closing the courtyard door.
also closed Cao Yi's last gaze.
The man's tears that could not flow in front of Xin Yi finally slowly slid out of his eyes after the door was closed, like an abandoned lonely bird, his wings were wet, and he could no longer fly into the sky......
~~
In Xin Yi's hand, in addition to the huge silver ticket that was hot, there was also a hot envelope.
What was supposed to be a matter of course suddenly became confusing.
Who's in the pharmacy?
Except for Cao Yi, there is actually only one answer in her heart.
But with the lesson of the last time, she did not dare to make conclusions with speculation.
~
Sun Yuzhi has a cousin in Bianjing who lives in Yulin Lane.
Xin Yi specially chose the time when Sun Yu went to school, but he still waited for a full two quarters of an hour before he saw Sun Yuzhi and a young man in Tsing Yi coming back with a smile and a smile.
Seeing Xin Yi, Sun Yuzhi was very happy.
"Mrs. Zhang."
He stepped forward and arched his hand, signaling the young man who was traveling with him to go first, but the young man squeezed his eyebrows meaningfully.
Sun Yuzhi's cheeks flushed slightly, and he glared at him, until he left in a huff, and then apologized to Xin Yi.
"That's Xiaosheng's cousin, I was abrupt and abrupt, forgive me."
Xin Yi didn't care about this kind of young man's narrow-mindedness, returned the gift to Sun Yuzhi, and then went straight in.
"I came to Shao Dong today to check with you...... The person who gave it to me from the Sun family pharmacy that day was not the king of Guangling County? ”
Sun Yuzhi was caught off guard, looked at her in surprise, and asked reflexively: "How did the lady know?" ”
Xin Yi's eyebrows drooped slightly, "Thank you Shaodong, for telling me the truth." I won't bother you. Leave! ”
Before the sound fell, the man turned her head, jumped on her little donkey, shook the reins with her hand, and went straight away.
Sun Yuzhi was stunned in place.
It wasn't until Xin Yi left that he was annoyed.
