Chapter 79: Debunking Hongday
Hongtian had a slight stalk in his throat, knowing that she was unhappy, but he didn't want to let her go, so he still forced her to stay here.
After drinking the medicine, Hongday, who had nothing to do, went to the study to paint, and he specially asked Yongshu to come over and bring him tea and water.
Yongshu did as he was ordered, poured him a cup of hot tea, and then stood on one side, casually looking at his study, but saw that behind him was a hollow red sandalwood wall, on which there were different mallets, of different shapes, which could store books and vases.
Looking at the many books placed on the wall, Yongshu asked, "I want to read books, I beg the fifth master for permission." β
This was a trivial matter, but he wanted to go against her wishes, "What's so good about books?" I'm not better than a book? β
Yongshu replied seriously: "The book is interesting, but you are not interesting." β
"Why am I bored? How dare you call me boring? Hongtian was angry in his heart, squinting a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the warning meaning was very obvious, "Give you a chance to say it again." β
However, Yongshu refused to change his words, "I don't want to tell lies." β
The extremely angry Hongtian slapped the table angrily and shook him sharply, "I warn you, you are very angry now, immediately coax me, make me laugh, and I will let you read." β
Yongshu pondered for a moment, then turned around and brought a mirror over and placed it in front of him, "Is the person in the mirror funny?" β
Isn't that his own? Hongtian glanced at it impatiently, "It's not funny!" β
"If it's not funny, it's boring, and if it's funny, it's funny. Since you can't laugh, it proves that you are boring, so I am not wrong, and you admit it yourself. β
"......" Hongtian looked stunned and sneered disdainfully, "What kind of ghost logic is this?" β
Yongshu didn't defend either, just grabbed a little, "You laughed." β
"Is that a laugh? That's contempt! β
"A contemptuous laugh is also a laugh, if the fifth master can't afford to lose and want to deny it, then I have nothing to say." Yongshu was righteous, but Hongtian was speechless, so he had to admit defeat and allow her to pick.
Yongshu chose to choose and choose, and finally chose a copy of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and then sat down on the circle chair next to him and read it carefully.
Hongyang glanced at it and was quite surprised, "You are a woman, what is not good, you read some ghost books, aren't you afraid?" β
There are too many rare words in ancient books, and reading ancient books is very boring for her, so she tries to choose some interesting books.
Compared with the horror movies she watched in modern times, "Liao Zhai" is really pediatric, not terrifying, "Ghosts are not scary, what is scary is the human heart." β
Hongtian thought she was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai again, "Who are you talking about?" β
"This refers to it in general, not in particular, and the fifth master doesn't have to sit in the right seat." After saying this, Yongshu no longer responded, and silently read the story in the book.
Most of the ancient characters are traditional characters, and the punctuation is different from modern ones, Yongshu looks a little difficult, and you have to read the sentences repeatedly to understand the meaning.
She looked at the book with her eyebrows raised, and occasionally muttered silently, that serious appearance made Hongtian's heart feel delicious, just because Yongshu had never been so serious when facing him.
After reading the book for a while, Yongshu only felt that his eyes were dry, so he got up and walked to the window, pulled a round stool, leaned in front of the window and sat down, looking at the flowers and trees in the courtyard and the blue sky and clouds.
Hongtian reclined on the circle chair and supported his forehead with his hand, but seeing Yongshu's eyes far-reaching, she looked sad and she was half-leaning in front of the window, silent for a while, he couldn't help but wonder, who was in her mind at this moment? You can't miss someone, right?
"What are you thinking?"
Yongshu, who was interrupted, sat up straight, and his low voice revealed a hint of desolation, "I'm thinking, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads." β
Was she expressing her displeasure? "Serving the master, are you so reluctant?"
Why did he need to ask such obvious questions? "No one is born willing to serve others, and the subordinates serve their masters just for a few taels of silver."
This analogy, Hongtian has a lot of opinions, "You and I are not masters and servants, so you can't take care of me according to the love between husband and wife?" β
How could he be embarrassed to make such a request? Yongshu only felt ridiculous when he heard it, "You and I are husband and wife, but we are never ruthless." β
Her words easily erased his dedication, Hongyang glared at her hatefully, her eyes were red, and she was aggrieved and complained,
"Yongshu, don't you have a bad conscience when you say this? I have always treated you preferentially, accompanied you, used to you, and spoiled you, but you don't know what to do, always thinking about him, saying that I forgot him, just because I was afraid that I would find him trouble, you were still acting in front of me before, and now you are not even bothering to act! β
Look, he still feels wronged? Yongshu sneered and asked, "What is pampering?" Your so-called favor is to talk about trust, but secretly send someone to spy on me. I had stomach cramps, I couldn't bear it, I went to the temple to ask for help, but you said I was faking my illness. Such a hypocritical favor is really chilling! β
Speaking of this disease, Hongtian became more and more troubled, "You are young, why do you have stomach problems?" And not because of him! Huang Ama gave you and me a marriage, and you didn't want to accept it, so you went on a hunger strike to resist, so you suffered from stomach problems, right? β
In fact, even Yongshu didn't know why the original owner had stomach problems, but after listening to Hongday's words, he estimated that he sent someone to investigate, right? The results that can be found clearly slapped him in the face,
"You've found it all out? So dare to ask the fifth master, do I really have stomach problems, or am I pretending to be sick? β
The facts are in front of him, Hongtian knows it, but for the sake of face, he is still unwilling to admit that he blamed her, and he is still thinking about how to justify it, but unfortunately Yongshu does not expect him to admit his mistake, just because she has been completely disappointed in Hongday,
"I didn't hide my past from you. It was you who told me that you can ignore the old things. I thought that you were different from those worldly people, and I even thought that since Providence arranged for me to marry you, then I should follow Providence and try to live a good life with you.
It turns out that I'm still too naΓ―ve, your demons have never been eliminated, you are just pretending to be generous. When talking about these contradictions, Yongshu is unusually calm, like a bystander, without sadness or anger, calmly stating.
After seeing through it, he didn't even have the ups and downs of his emotions, and then Yongshu untied the wrench from the pressure and handed it back to him.
"If you can't do it, don't promise it easily, others will take it seriously."
Hongyang remembered this object, which he had given her.
I still remember that the two were also arguing over Hongyan that day, in order to win her forgiveness, Hongyang assured her that he would trust her in the future, and would never suspect her again, and if he offended, she could use this wrench to punish him.
Now he broke his promise and doubted her again, but she didn't even bother to punish her, and directly returned the wrench to him.
She's probably disappointed in him, isn't she? Otherwise, how can you even bother to lose your temper?
