Chapter 89: Stubbornness
Lan Xin has been sitting quietly in the room, wearing only a thin gauze after bathing, and sitting in front of the bronze mirror wrapped in a cloak with a somewhat indifferent expression, letting the personal maid wipe her long hair like a waterfall.
In the bronze mirror, a face that is not very clear is reflected, with curved willow eyebrows, slender and slightly raised phoenix eyes, a high nose, and lips like dots.
"Miss, you're so good-looking." The little maid looked at the reflection in the bronze mirror and sighed, holding a dry handkerchief in her hand, carefully parting the slightly wet black hair little by little to absorb the water.
"What's the use of being good-looking, it's not all at the mercy of God......" Lan Xin Mumu reached out and touched his face, his eyes looked a little empty.
The little maid didn't dare to say any more, for fear of upsetting her.
There was silence in the room for a while, until there was two knocks on the door, and someone pushed open it and walked in.
"Xin'er."
Chun Shi Niang, who was still wearing heavy makeup, twisted her waist and walked into the door, followed by a tray of absent-minded silver flowers.
Hearing the sound, Lan Xin raised her head and glanced in the mirror, and the little maid standing behind her immediately understood, and hurriedly reached out to help her, and then turned to look at the door together.
"Thirteen mothers." Calling softly, Lan Xin smiled reluctantly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Yinhua, this girl is going to send wine, and I just want to tell you something, so let's come over and have a look." Chun Thirteen Niang smiled and squinted, stepped forward to grab Lan Xin's hand, and pulled her to the table to sit down.
Yinhua also nodded to Lan Xin, silently placed the wine jug and wine glasses on the table, and then quietly withdrew.
Seeing this, Chun Thirteen Niang waved her hand at the little girl, "Xiaoyu, you can go out too." ”
The maid named Xiaoyu subconsciously looked at Lan Xin, and saw that she nodded slightly, which blessed her body, and retreated in response, not forgetting to close the door before leaving, and dutifully guarding the door.
"Now there is no one else, Thirteen Niang can say anything about it." Lan Xin whispered, her face unpleasant.
"I know you don't really want to give up your body." Since there were no outsiders present, Chun Sanniang went straight to the point, "Xin'er, if you don't want to, it's still too late to regret it now."
"Thirteen Niang......" Lan Xin raised her eyes a little stunned, and saw that Chun Thirteen Niang was looking at her with a look of pity, the tip of her nose was sour, and tears appeared in her eyes, and she shook her head gently for a long time, "Thirteen Niang, if you agree, you will agree, Xin'er...... No regrets. ”
"Don't feel sorry for me." Chun Thirteen Niang looked at her and sighed, "I'm also from here, I know that there are people in your heart." Comparing my heart to my heart, I was more eager to marry my sweetheart innocently than others, but unfortunately I was forced to ...... in the end" Speaking of the past, Chun Shisanniang sighed again, "That's it, don't say these old words." You are what I watched all the way over, as long as you don't want to, Thirteen Niang will help you say, you must push this matter. ”
"Thirteen Niang!" When Lan Xin heard her say this, she also knew that she was really thinking about herself, and she couldn't bear the discomfort in her heart, so she couldn't help but throw herself into her arms anymore, and said with a stalk, "For more than a year, you have been treating Xin'er like your own daughter, and Xin'er has always understood in her heart...... I've been thinking about today's matter for a long time, I don't want to regret it, and there's no room for refusal......" Reaching out and grabbing Chun Thirteen Niang's sleeve tightly, like grasping a life-saving straw, Lan Xin bit her lip and let herself vent the bitterness in her heart, "Thirteen Niang, thank you!" If you hadn't come to see me, I really wouldn't know what to do. ”
"Silly girl, thank you for something. You all say that I treat you like a daughter, and who is a mother who doesn't love her daughter? Chun Thirteen Niang said with emotion, reached out and touched her soft long hair, her expression was very gentle and kind, not at all like the coquettish snobbery in front of people.
Lan Xin just leaned her head on Chun Thirteen Niang's lap and sobbed softly, without making a sound.
From the moment she decided to throw the hydrangea, she was always afraid in her heart, afraid of what she would do after losing her innocent body, afraid that she would not be able to go back after tonight, and she would never have the face to see the person in her heart again......
But at this time, she was not allowed to think about it at all, and at this point, she had no room to turn back.
All she can do now is grit her teeth and endure until that person can grant her wish, until that day...... She should be free then.
Thinking of a blank future, Lan Xin felt bitter in her heart, and tears couldn't help but slip down her face, soaking a large piece of Chun Thirteen Niang's clothes.
"Okay, okay, Thirteen Niang understands your mind, don't cry, I can't stand it with careful eyes." Chun Shisanniang took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from her face, feeling distressed and wanting to sigh, "Since it has been decided, let's go on bravely." After tonight, you are still the Oiran Orchid girl of our Yihong Courtyard, and you are still the good girl of my Spring Thirteen Niang! After saying that, he patted her on the back and gave her a smooth breath, while coaxing in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, ah! ”
Under her enlightenment and comfort, Lan Xin finally cleaned up her emotions, "Thirteen Niang don't worry, Xin'er knows what to do." ”
"If you can think about it, that's the best." Seeing that there was finally a smile on her face, Chun Shisanniang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Look at you, your eyes are swollen from crying." Today is a good day for you, of course, you have to be beautiful. The handkerchief was gently wiped under Lan Xin's eyes, and Chun Shisanniang frowned and said, "No, I have to ask Xiaoyu to bring some cold water over and put a good compress on you." ”
"Thirteen Niang," Lan Xin stopped her, shook her head and said, "No need." ”
"But your eyes ......"
Lan Xin self-deprecatingly touched the corners of her eyes that were still moist with her hand, "...... Don't those men like this feeling of pear blossoms in tears? ”
Chun Thirteen Niang sighed. After thinking about it, he took out a palm-sized wooden box from his sleeve pocket, and a small porcelain vase, put it together and handed it to her.
"The first time a woman always suffers, you put these two things away. The pills in the bottle are for pleasure and will make you feel less uncomfortable after eating them. As for the grease in the wooden box...... If you still feel unbearable pain afterwards, apply some to it. ”
After all, it was an untrained girl's house, and when she said this, Lan Xin not only blushed, but even her earlobes were feverish. However, considering what would happen next, he still forcibly accepted both things with shame, "...... Xin'er, thank you, Thirteen Niang. ”
Chun Shi Niang reached out and patted the back of her hand, sighed, and turned to leave.
Lan Xin stood in place for a long time, then turned around, silently paced to the window, and reached out to open the window.
The silver-white moonlight immediately shone into the room through the window lattice, and the cold wind blowing in from the window made the candle flame in the room flicker twice, and Lan Xin's slender figure was stretched out under the candlelight.
On the street, the husband drank wine with a wine gourd, and drunkenly knocked three times on the bang with a small hammer, indicating the arrival of midnight.
There was a sound of steady footsteps in the corridor, and Lan Xin felt a pang of fear in her heart, and sat back by the window in a panic.
It was very quiet outside the door, and the footsteps stopped at the door unexpectedly, hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Lan Xin, who was through the screen, couldn't help but nervously drag the porcelain bottle into her hand, and with a ruthless heart, she pulled out the cork and poured two pills into her mouth, and then quickly hid the bottle under the pillow.
Eventually...... Or at this time.
Lan Xin took a deep breath, put the pillow back on, tried to calm herself, and tidied up her clothes and slowly walked around the screen.
"Lan Xin has seen ......"
"Are you crying?" A familiar low male voice suddenly sounded overhead, and Lan Xin, who was about to bend down to salute, was startled, raised her head suddenly, and just crashed into a pair of unfathomable ink-colored eyes.
"Young master?" Facing the handsome face that was close at hand, stared at by his beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to understand the world, Lan Xin seemed to be a little out of breath, and hurriedly took two steps back, "Why are you here?" ”
Shangguan Yun, who was dressed in white and calmly flowing, did not answer her directly, but just reached out to lift her chin, frowned, and touched her red and swollen skin under her eyes with cold fingers because of crying.
Lan Xin subconsciously turned her head and forced herself not to look at him, her voice was a little flustered, "Young master, this is a place of right and wrong, you better leave quickly." ”
"Why don't you dare look at me?" Shangguan Yun straightened up, his eyebrows furrowed to form a Sichuan character, he reached out to hold Lan Xin's hand to prevent her from turning around, and took out the unrecognizable hydrangea from the table behind him, and his deep eyes stared at her directly, "Playing with hydrangea and betraying yourself?" Is this really what you want? ”
Lan Xin didn't turn her head and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but tighten his right hand, Lan Xin, who was holding his wrist, frowned, feeling as if his hand was about to be broken, and hurriedly said, "Young master, you ......"
"Xin'er, what did I tell you in the first place? I didn't bring you back from so far away to do anything for me, and I didn't want to see you do anything for some damn reason. ”
"What if I'm doing it myself?" Lan Xin's heart stabbed like a pinprick, and without saying a word, she shook off his hand fiercely, and said coldly with tears in her eyes, "Young Master, don't forget, I have already left the Shangguan family, and now everything I do has nothing to do with the young master and the Shangguan family!" ”
This was said decisively, Shangguan Yun's eyebrows furrowed again, probably realizing that her tone was a little heavier and caused her disgust, and her expression was a little helpless, "...... I'm sorry, but I had no intention of hurting you. ”
This apology softened Lan Xin's heart, but she still refused to bow her head, stubbornly erecting thorns all over her body to protect herself, "The young master is right, I am indeed practicing myself, and I don't need to say sorry." ”
Shangguan Yun sighed lightly, took two steps forward and took her hand again, and whispered like a wayward child, "Xin'er, stop messing around, go back with me." ”
"I ......" Lan Xin was almost persuaded by his unprecedented gentleness, but as soon as she took a step, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her coming here, and after a struggle in her heart, she still gritted her teeth, broke free from his shackles with all her might, took two steps back and turned her back to him, "I have made up my mind, please go back, young master." ”
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Shangguan Yun seemed to be really angry, and her heart was even more helpless, "Xin'er, you weren't like this before." ”
The personality is as weak as her, like a kind but a little shy interpretation flower, never knows how to refuse others, and is even more obedient to him, what he wants her to do, she never says anything.
Lan Xin in his memory has always been smiling and supple and well-behaved, but now the person standing in front of him seems to be a different person, not only learned to run away from home, but also learned to disobey him, and her personality is so stubborn and stubborn that people can't wait to knock her head open to see if it is full of straw.
Is this kind of Lan Xin still the little girl he really cherishes in his heart?
