Chapter 48: Why Do I Live for Others?
No one can tell me the answer, and Fluttershy's questions make me wonder.
I'm just an ordinary person, except for some ink in my stomach, my talent can only be regarded as average, barely above average, and I am far from "talented"!
As I walked briskly outside the mansion under Fluttershy's guidance, I couldn't imagine how I had managed to escape the place with my senses when I first came to the Divine General's Mansion and made it out of the suffocating mansion.
Seeing that I seemed to be fleeing, Fluttershy glanced sideways at me with sympathetic eyes, "It can be seen that Mr. has no bad intentions in his bones, and Fluttershy is here to advise Mr. Don't mention your marriage contract with my young lady to the outside world, otherwise your life will be in danger in the Eastern Capital!" ”
I haven't even mentioned this between me and the Divine General's Mansion, and I haven't even mentioned it to Lu Yao and Master Dog, and I have always kept silent about this kind of thing that damages the reputation of the family and my own reputation.
Maybe it's because of the sympathy for a scholar like me who came out of a small place, it's really not easy to throw a brick and smash it into Luoyang, the eastern capital of the dignitaries, or maybe she's reminding and threatening in disguise, and doesn't want me to publicize this kind of thing.
Whatever Fluttershy's intentions, I won't mention it to anyone outside.
"In order to be able to live well, I will not joke with my life...... "Before I have absolute strength to protect myself, being a man with my tail between my legs is my only choice."
"But don't worry, Madame will not be cruel to you, even if you were so angry with Madame that you smashed the cup last time, Mama only sent two people to drive you away, and she didn't mean to threaten you." Fluttershy seems to be no more than the beginning of her relationship, but she knows everything about the house: "The Divine General's Mansion is stared at by countless pairs of eyes from the outside world, and there are not many secret guards who roam the rooftops on weekdays, and in such an environment, the Divine General's Mansion will not ask for trouble and put itself in a disadvantageous situation." ”
I thought to myself that the Divine General Wang Fuqi was really a great achievement, and every move of the Divine General's Mansion was closely monitored by the imperial court.
But even so, today's saints and the ministers who have always advocated the simultaneous reduction of power and the reduction of the feudal domain still dare not easily test this god general with great military achievements.
"Lin Yuxiu will be destroyed by the wind, I understand the truth of the tree!" Fluttershy's words reveal that I am not worthy of defiling the Divine General's Mansion.
"My young lady is extremely talented, beautiful as a fairy, and born into such a family affair, which family in the dynasty does not crowd their heads to climb this family business......" Fluttershy is particularly proud of her young lady Wang Xizi when she mentions her own young lady, "Because of my special status, even the royal family has been staring at the actions of the Divine General's Mansion!" ”
Wang Xizi has a cultivation talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and his strength cultivation is regarded by many disciples of Yunhai Immortal Sect as the first person to directly catch up with Dong Rufeng.
With the blessing of the powerful Fengluan bloodline, Wang Xizi had no teacher at a young age, opened up the muscles and veins, and connected the veins between Xi Meng.
When he was six years old, he sat alone in the secluded fence and flipped through the Taoist treasures, and searched for the Tao three times a day, and everything fell into place without encountering twists and turns.
When Wang Xizi was ten years old, Ziyang Zhenren of Yunhai Immortal Sect sent pills to the inner court, which coincided with Wang Xizi playing with the princes in the palace, and was caught by Ziyang Zhenren at a glance and accepted as a closed disciple.
Wang Xizi followed Ziyang Zhenren to practice, but he ascended to the Wendao realm in three years, if it weren't for Ziyang Zhenren's fear that Wang Xizi, who was still young, would have an unstable foundation and risk the gains of cultivation, this Yunhai Immortal Sect has definitely been selected as the top three strange women in the sect since the founding of the sect, and even dare to compete with the saint like the dog master.
Compared with Wang Xizi, who has a prominent background and is absolutely talented, and is almost perfect, if a toad like me is known by Wang Xizi's admirers, he will definitely die an ugly death.
I have long heard that the princes of the Eighteen Roads are interested in marrying the gods and generals, and even the current prince is also in love with Wang Xizi, and there is a portrait of her in the study.
With Wang Xizi's departure from the pavilion, the talent for beauty became more and more well-known, and the threshold of the Divine General's Mansion was stepped on by many princes and nobles in Kyoto.
I don't know if it's my luck or misfortune to have a marriage contract with such a person.
Regardless of identity, status, or talent, I was so shivering that I couldn't take it, and the lingering inferiority complex in my bones told me that this was my misfortune!
I was silent, thinking that a man's silence was golden, but silence was ineffective and meaningless in front of Fluttershy, who was aggressive but not so strong.
"I have been with Miss since I was a child, and I am her only personal maid...... I might as well tell you the truth, she already has someone she admires, and her status is also a perfect match for my young lady! ”
Someone worthy of Wang Xizi must also be the dragon and phoenix among people, and his identity, status, and appearance must be outstanding, otherwise Fluttershy would not be proud of this, telling me so much along the way, destroying my heart in this subtle way.
Life has experienced the ups and downs of the great sorrow of the loss of loved ones, my heart dare not be said to be as solid as a rock, at least it will not be easily swayed, I continue to be silent, because I have no ability to confront reality except silence.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Fluttershy looked at me with big round eyes and wondered, "You don't want to know who your potential rival is?" ”
This kind of boring problem is like a person being stripped naked in public, and then pouring a basin of cold water, I think killing people is nothing more than that.
I suppressed the anguish in my heart, shook my head and said, "What can I do if I know?" I've always thought about this engagement. ”
This is my true thoughts, and this is my attitude!
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, when you hear the name Qin Guan in the future, you have to walk around, so as not to be beaten by him and looking for teeth!" Fluttershy looked at me, ignoring my feelings and feelings, and continued: "This person is the young master of the Holy Maiden Peak in the Southern Kingdom, the brother of Qin Ruolan, the first beauty in the Southern Kingdom, and the number one beautiful man in the world. ”
Qin Guan, if the word is empty, the reputation is prosperous, better than Zheng Beiyou of the Guogong Mansion, Wen can write poems and paint the country, and his martial arts ability is overwhelming a group of young talents in the rivers and lakes, and his talent is not inferior to Wang Xizi, even his beautiful appearance, I don't know how many southern girls have been fascinated.
Such a person is indeed like a big mountain, and when Fluttershy says this, an indescribable depression and oppression crosses her heart, and the inexplicable pressure makes it impossible to prevent it.
I really didn't expect these things, and when I think about this delicate relationship between me and Wang Xizi, it's really hard to explain now.
"Why hasn't Mrs. Ji mentioned this matter all the time?"
Because the Divine General's Mansion does not want to pay a greater price for this, this matter is related to the direction of the fortune of the Divine General's Mansion, and it is also implicated in the fate of the dynasty and the tilt of power...... Countless pairs of eyes are staring at the Divine General's Mansion, staring at the lord and the lady, they all want to see the jokes of the Divine General's Mansion! ”
I froze in my quick steps, tilted my head and asked Fluttershy, "Why are you telling this?" ”
"My young lady is kind-hearted and doesn't like to be swayed by all forces, and you are a good person, so you finally met a master and stepped into the ranks of cultivation with one foot...... It is not easy for people who have come out of a small place to live in Dongdu, I don't want Miss to know that there is such a person as you, and finally die because of his depression, so my young lady will also blame herself for this! ”
I couldn't bear to curse people to die at this point, and I immediately asked, "How do you know that I will die of depression?" ”
Fluttershy lists the evidence, "You're a scholar, so your career doesn't make sense...... You don't have a family background, you don't have to think about the road to recommendation, and your age determines that your cultivation is impossible to match half a point of my young lady, let alone delusional to fight against Qin Guan, so you can see the end of your life at a glance! ”
These words hurt people invisibly, and I couldn't even think of rebuttals, so I could only smile wryly and nod.
The reality is cruel, don't give me any chance to turn over!
"Thank you for telling me this!" The truth may not be in your ears, but it goes straight to your heart.
When I got to see Zhumen, I persuaded Fluttershy not to send her off, but she talked too much along the way, and I was afraid that I would die of depression before I could get out of the Divine General's Mansion.
Fluttershy stops, "Do it for yourself......"
I hear this as a warning, but I can't deduce what Fluttershy means by "good things"?
Fluttershy's face isn't ugly, but her expression and eyes reveal a subtle contempt all the time: "Is it worth the gamble?" You have given enough face to the god general's mansion, and he will not have less opportunities in the future, but unfortunately you still can't let go of the so-called face, and compete with your wife, why bother? ”
"The Xu family can fall, but the backbone of the family cannot!" Perhaps by now, Fluttershy and even Madame Ji thought I was trying to negotiate terms with the Divine Commander's Mansion about this.
"No one asked how my grandfather died and what he went through...... There is no such thing as a no-nonsense agreement. "Suddenly I thought of many of my grandfather's experiences during his lifetime, and I don't understand the origin of this marriage contract until today.
My words stunned Fluttershy, and she accused, "If you don't tell me, how can anyone know?" ”
"Again, no one told me, just now, I figured it out, everything worked out!" I was even kept in the dark by my family about my marriage contract with Wang Xizi, and how did I know the many secrets of my grandfather.
Fluttershy is a little confused: "If you don't say it, it means that you're just a hypocrite!" ”
I didn't quibble about this, nor did I tell her my bold guess directly: "Maybe you have to ask Madame Ji and Lord Shenjiang about this!" ”
From the first time I entered the Shenjiang Mansion to return the jade pendant, I have not been taken seriously, and even treated kindly from the heart, I have always been maliciously speculated with good intentions, this feeling makes me very unhappy.
Why should I live for someone else?
I should live for myself, I survived the Ezhou plague, is God just to let me look at other people's faces and take care of other people's feelings?
