Chapter 31: May One Heart Be Owned, and the White Head Will Not Be Separated (I)
On the day when Yuntang's legs and feet will be able to go to the ground, a green cloth sedan chair fell outside the door of the Yun family, and the sedan chair was curtained together, and the old man with white hair got off the sedan chair, and the cloud father and mica who had been guarding the door for a long time hurriedly greeted him, and said happily:
"Mother, I'm tired all the way, come into the house and take a breath."
"I'm not tired," Grandmother Yun said with a straight face, "What about Tang'er Lin'er?" ”
"There was an accident a while ago, we asked a lot of people to help, fortunately, Tang'er returned safely, while you came here, our family happened to have a banquet today, which didn't let the two children invite someone to go." Father Yun said, helped Grandmother Yun into the hall, and entered the main seat.
Grandmother Yun's face softened slightly, her hands clasped on her knees, and she was majestic as an elder, "Tang'er has always been well-behaved, how did she encounter this incident, you can tell me the reason, I want to listen to the truth." ”
Father Yun and Mica glanced at each other, knowing that only by explaining clearly could they teach the old man to rest assured, so he served tea and snacks on the side and talked about the matter in detail.
From far and near, after Yunlin Yuntang invited several families who had helped each other, an hour had passed, and the front foot stepped into the door of her house, and the back foot was instructed by Mica to ask someone to the Gu family, and she wondered at that time, "Mother, did you go to the Gu family for help?" ”
Mica said: "It's not that I asked for it, but people came to ask enthusiastically." ”
"Who asked? Gu Xuxing? Yuntang asked.
"It's your Aunt Gu."
Yun Tang was surprised, "Aunt Gu hasn't always disliked me, how could she ......?"
"After all, your Aunt Gu is not a person with a bad heart, and she still cherishes her juniors." Mica said and pushed the two out of the door, "Yunlin, you go with Xiaotang, and the etiquette is sufficient." ”
After only a dozen steps before and after, Yuntang entered the Gu family's courtyard with a familiar car, and the Gu family's maid and mother-in-law were very respectful to her, Yun Lin quipped:
"You are a slave and a maid in the water house, but you are acting in the posture of the family, which is ridiculous."
Yun Tang glanced at him with disgust, "How?" Envy?! ”
After that, he smiled and said, "But...... Therefore, I always feel that Gu Nerd is much cuter than that Shui Sanshao, and I don't have to worry about it all day long. ”
Yun Lin smiled with his hand, "I saw that the son of the Gu family hid his wisdom between his eyebrows, but he was stupid and stupid in front of you, I'm afraid that if you don't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, just your brain, if he uses a little thought, he will eat you to death." ”
"What nonsense?!" Yun Tang kicked sideways, "Gu Nerd's mind is clear, you are not allowed to talk about him like this." ”
"Yo, it's not all about it." Yun Lin smiled, "Besides, I didn't say anything, but I just praised him for being smart and good at measuring people's hearts." ”
"That's it, the person I look up to can't be a mediocre person." Yuntang said, his eyebrows were flying, he laughed with Yun Lin, and was reminded by the mother-in-law who led the way, only to see Gu Muxing coming forward in the courtyard, followed by the eldest lady of the Gu family and the cousin of the Zhu family.
"Hello auntie, Miss Gu, cousin." Yun Tang saluted, and Yun Lin also said hello.
At first sight of Yuntang, Gu's mother seemed a little embarrassed, smiled lightly, and saw Yun Lin on the side and said suspiciously: "Who is this?" “
"Aunt Hui, this is my cousin, call Yunlin."
"His face is like jade, and his appearance is extraordinary...... Gu's mother's eyes were shining, and she looked at Yun Lin from top to bottom a few times, "I don't know where Yun Gongzi works, but there are brothers next to him at home." ”
Yun Tang was stunned, Yun Lin was silent for a moment, and said respectfully with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yun Lin is just a merchant tea seller, there are no brothers and sisters at home, and among the cousins and sisters, he is only good friends with Yun Tang, and his feelings are kind, which is better than his own siblings." ”
"Tea merchant? Which business size? Gu Mu asked.
"Yu Yuntang." Yun Lin replied, Yun Tang smiled secretly in his heart when he saw this, how could he think that this meeting was very similar to the conversation of the matchmaker.
"It's Yu Yuntang? A health tea shop in the city? Gu said pitifully, and Zhu Yuenong and Gu's mother were also surprised.
Yun Tang was amused in his heart, afraid that Yun Lin would not be able to talk about it, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to help:
"Exactly, Cousin Yunlin is the operator of Yu Yuntang, the chief shopkeeper, and he must start a business to start a family, Cousin Yunlin has been busy all these years, although Yu Yuntang has been taken care of very well, but the marriage age has not been discussed matchmaking, and my father and mother have a headache."
Gu's mother was overjoyed, and before she could speak, Gu said with pity: "Our daughter's boudoir uses Yuyuntang for tea, but this Shucheng has not sold it, and it has been hungry for us for many days." ”
"It's also strange, Yun Gongzi is a person from Shucheng, why doesn't Shucheng have Yuyuntang?" Gu Mu said.
"Auntie is wrong," Yun Tang said with a smile: "The roots of our Yun family a hundred years ago are not in Shucheng, but in Yaoshan, and our family is only here in the Yun family." ”
"It's no wonder," Gu Mu said, with a plan in her heart, and said with Gu pity: "Xi'er, when Yun Gongzi first arrived in our yard, you should take it around, don't lose your courtesy." ”
As soon as Gu Pixi's eyes moved, he was about to respond, Yun Lin laughed and said: "Thank you, Aunt Gu, but there is really something to invite you to come to the house today, Yun Tang has to worry about the Gu family, and the uncle and aunt of the family specially ordered us to invite each other, and also invited Aunt Gu Uncle Gu and a few young ladies to get together at the Yun family." ”
"It's just a gesture," Gu's mother was about to excuse herself, but then she said: "Okay, it's a warm invitation, how can there be no reason, it's just that there is a delay here, and I will pass in half an hour in the evening, how about it?" ”
Yun Lin said: "Yes, so we will wait at home." ”
Gu's mother bowed her head, and walked out with Gu pity and Zhu Yuenong, Yunlin Yuntang followed closely behind, and will pass through the gate, Yuntang suddenly heard someone calling, turned his head to look for it, and saw Qinghe's sneaky appearance, Gu's mother also listened to the strange sound and looked over, and sighed when she saw this:
"Xing'er must have something looking for you, go ahead."
Yun Tang's face turned red, pursed his lips and smiled, and left with Qinghe, leaving Yun Lin to secretly scold with hatred, "not angry", shaking his head and laughing.
"Qinghe, why are you walking so slowly?" Yun Tang looked at his steps and was not fast, but he looked at Qinghe's broken steps and was surprisingly slow, which was not the case in the past.
Qinghe snorted in his mouth, his index finger stirred, and suddenly stomped on his feet, dragging Yuntang behind the rocks, "Miss Yun, I have something to tell you." ”
Yuntang's leg injury was not completely healed, and with such a drag, it was as if he was rubbed again. Pretending to be okay on his face, he looked at Qinghe's solemn little face, and chuckled:
"Even if you say it, it's nothing unsightly to make it so mysterious."
Qinghe hurriedly said: "No, Miss Yun, you don't know, a few days ago, you were victimized by bad people, and the city was full of orders, and all traces were lost, the master was very anxious, and sent many people to look for you secretly, and people in the city and town intervened, telling you to find you first, do you know?" ”
"I don't know." Yuntang shook his head, "Mother said that you worked hard in the house, but she didn't elaborate." ”
"What Mrs. Yun said is only about my wife's inquiry, the master is secretly looking for you, and even my wife doesn't know." Qinghe sighed.
Yun Tang's heart warmed, and he squinted and smiled: "Thank you for your master's trouble, so I will thank you for this." ”
Qinghe saw that Yun Tang was about to go out, so she hurriedly raised her feet and pedaled on the rocks to block her way, "Miss Yun, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
Yuntang was funny, his knees hurt, so he leaned to the side, "Okay, okay, you can say it." ”
"Miss Yun, what I'm talking about next, you must not be angry, the master is also a last resort, he is even more sad and hateful these days, he always feels sorry for you, he doesn't need much food all day, and he has lost a lot of weight." Qinghe said, his hands circled in a circle, and he gestured to the waist of his master.
Yun Tang smiled: "You say yes, I don't have much to be angry about." ”
Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Miss Yun, you don't know, my master and the Zhu family's cousin are childhood sweethearts, and they have the intention of friendship when they fight the small family, but they have never said it." However, just a few days before your accident, the master was forced to discuss marriage with the Zhu family, and he was going to marry his cousin at the end of the year. ”
Hearing this, Yuntang's heart fell suddenly, and his face froze, "The cousin you are talking about is Zhu Yuenong?" ”
"Yes," Qinghe saw that Yuntang's blush faded for a while, and his pale color floated, and he hurriedly comforted:
"Miss Yun, don't worry, the master is really interested in you, although there is pressure from the old lady and the family matter has been decided, but the master swears to die, and even threatens to leave the clan, saying in front of the ancestor that he is only willing to marry you, the lady is angry, and beats the master badly, and almost kills the young master."
"Bedridden, the young master went on a hunger strike and refused medicine, seeing that his body collapsed day by day, and in the end the old man couldn't bear it, and postponed the family affair until August next year, promising that if you enter the door, you will serve your wife and serve in exchange for the master's peace of mind, and your body and bones will drag on for a long time before you get better, otherwise you will not go to see you a few days after you return."
"It's not the master who asked me to call you today, his face is thin, I'm afraid that you will feel distressed. I saw you that day, and I asked him to repair his appearance for a long time, and he wiped his rouge before he went out, Miss Yun, the master rejoiced in you, but he was so happy. ”
The throat was stalked, Yuntang's nasal cavity was astringent, and his eyes were red unconsciously.
Qinghe took a step forward, "Miss Yun, don't be angry, I lied to you, just because the master was upset when he saw you come back, I don't know what happened to the two of you, I can't persuade you, so I have to rely on you." ”
Yun Tang smiled bitterly, "I'll go see him, you lead the way." ”
and the Holy Courtyard
The door of the courtyard opened, the thick fragrance of medicine came to the face, Yuntang sighed silently, walked to the back room, saw the faint figure in the tent, she lifted the half curtain and hung it, and a sickly man came into view.
Holding his hand across his chest, Yuntang sat silently, lying on his chest for a long time, a line of tears came out, and said in his heart: Yuntang, Yuntang, you treat you like this in vain, but you are confused for Shui Ying, what a bastard!
"Tang'er?"
The chest cavity under his body shook slightly, and there was a sound on his head, Yun Tang got up and wiped away his tears and said, "You're awake~"
Gu Xuxing suddenly saw Yuntang, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he quickly sat up, came back to his senses and quickly covered half of his sick face, "Why didn't you let Qinghe know when you came, teach me to see you like this, it's too ugly." ”
"Why, isn't this still as handsome as I saw for the first time," Yun Tang pulled down his sleeves and held his skinny hands, remembering the first time he saw the mountain behind the nunnery, and laughed for a while, "It's so handsome that people feel evil, and they just want to fall down." ”
Gu Xuxing's cheeks were flushed, and he held her slender hand, "You are as smart and beautiful as when you first met, and you can't let go of it." ”
"Even if you can't let go, you shouldn't disobey my father and mother for me, go on a hunger strike, think about it, there will always be a way." Yun Tang buried his head in his chest, "You are like this, how can I be good." ”
The warmth in her arms, muttering softly, Gu Xuxing hugged her and moved very lightly, "You know everything?" You should know how we are still possible if I am not like this, with your nature. ”
Yun Tang was silent for a moment, understood what he meant, and was afraid that he had wronged her, so he worried: "However, I am also a ...... wife" and did not want to do it.
"I know, Tang'er, I know." Gu Xuxing intercepted her words and said hurriedly, her eyelashes trembling, "The wedding date is postponed, and I have enough time to come up with a way to make the family affair disappear." I want you to believe me, and that's for it. In this way, I just ask you not to dislike me, an abandoned down-and-out son, and give me a white head? ”
His heart skipped a beat for a while, Yun Tang straightened up and held his face and said: "If I want to marry you, whether it is for a wife or a concubine, so that you can enjoy the blessings of all people, but what do you want in your heart?" ”
Gu Xuxing smiled, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes suddenly became three thousand, and Yuntang shook his head.
"You will not want to, Tang'er. You can't allow a man to have three wives and four concubines, like me, you will definitely stay away from me, and you and I have nothing to do with it. ”
Yun Tang was surprised: "Are you really good at measuring people's hearts? Even this knows? "Is it really seen through by Yunlin?!
"It's not that I'm good at measuring people's hearts, but I know you very well, and when I say three things that can break your mind, do you think it's right?" Gu Xuxing looked at her dotingly, full of joy, and said the first thing when he saw her nodding, "Uncle Yun has never had a woman next to him in his life, only Aunt Yun, born in this realm, how can you allow your husband to have a wife and concubine." ”
Yuntang smiled: "No, that's because my family is poor, my father can't marry the second room, I still understand." ”
"If your uncle knows, you will call it a fight." Gu Xuxing said with a smile, "The second thing, on weekdays, you are used to reading books about rivers and lakes, I once asked you why, you said that the man in it is torn between many wives and concubines, and it is boring. ”
"I've read a lot of love scripts, most of them are a routine, I'm just tired of watching it."
"Do you remember the orange cat in the alley, you used to love it very much, every time you came back, you would bring some small dried fish to feed, and even after it became a father, praised it for its bravery, and specially held a birth ceremony for the kittens. But when you know that it rejoices in another wild cat, abandons its wife and children, and then ignores it, why does it stop paying attention to it? ”
“…… In those days, I didn't have much money, so I had to save its small dried fish. He remembered it so clearly, Yun Tang's throat twitched, and he felt a little creepy at being spied on.
Gu Xuxing smiled and raised his hand to knock on her forehead, "Tang'er, do you know that whenever you have a weak heart, you will swallow a mouthful of saliva in a hurry." ”
Yun Tang was dumbfounded, hurriedly covered his neck with a look of remorse, Gu Xuxing smiled and pulled down her hand and said:
"You don't need to hide what you're thinking before me. Before, I really had the idea of luck, and I felt that everything was not necessarily because I thought about it too much, but when I was looking for you, Brother Yun said that you respected a master when you were a child, and the reason why you admired this person was very simple, just because he said, 'I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated'. ”
Yun Tang frowned, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled, at that time, Yun Lin had a dream of three wives and four concubines, she laughed at it when she had time, and took out some singing lyrics to teach him that this idea was very unacceptable, and she didn't want him to mention it to Gu Xuxing.
"Therefore...... You were upset when you returned home, because of this? ”
Gu Xuxing put her delicate shoulders and said: "Tang'er is different from the woman next to her, it is not easy to win your favor, and I have no intention of accepting a concubine to fill the room, you alone is enough, this matter is not very difficult for me, what I am afraid of is that you don't believe me, don't wait for me." ”
Yun Tang was moved, and after a moment of silence, he found out his own fault and said: "Actually, I am not as good as you imagined, I was born to love beauty, and I can't help but look at a handsome man. Fingers ran across his cheek, a thief's smile.
"Tang'er lied again," Gu Xuxing took her into his arms and played with a wisp of green silk from her, "Now that I have a sick look, you don't have a trace of disgust in your eyes." ”
"Ahh My brain! ”
Mentioning the word "disease", Yun Tang remembered the purpose of this trip, and there was no taboo, he hurriedly got up and took off his profane clothes, and for a while the spring of condensed jade skin appeared, and he turned his body slightly, only to see the white and delicate long back with messy stick wounds, and the scars were black and purple, so it was not terrifying.
And these scars are all for her.
Momentary guilt, distress, regret...... All kinds of feelings were in unison, as if they were going to swallow her.
She looped around his waist from behind, pressed her cheek against his back, tears falling softly and snaking into the corners of her lips...
She bit her lower lip and was silently sentimental.
Gu Xuxing hurriedly turned around, her tears seemed to burn the tip of his heart, it hurt more than a broken bone by a cane, the pain made him feel helpless, wiped away the water beads she couldn't stop, and said in his mouth:
"Tang'er, it's okay, I don't hurt, don't cry, I'm uncomfortable crying like this."
"I'm sorry, Gu nerd, I'm sorry......" Hearing him comfort her, she cried even more, and for a while she was resentful of herself, complaining that she had tired this pure man to the point of exhaustion.
I had never seen her like this, Gu Xuxing felt pity and heartache, and even sour his eyes, lowered his head and pecked her cheeks, kissed away all the tears, and whispered softly:
"I have your heart, what are you afraid of, what are the regrets in this life."
