Chapter 19 Blood Wedding Dress
"A tree without roots, a flower is quiet. Greedy for red dust, who is willing to rest? Floating things, bitter sea boats, floating around are not free. ”
It was the winter of 1903, and the snow in the capital had not yet fallen until January, and everyone said that it was a disaster year.
The Qi family of Manchuria is a white flag has an heir, named Qi Chen, this person is stubborn, it is the age of fun, the family has been a minister for generations, and the material life has caused him to be pretentious and cynical.
But in the capital with a big palm, everyone knows that this arrogant and unruly Young Master Qi has a vicious disease brought by his mother's womb, chest pain.
In other words, it's angina.
But at that time, the evil disease was difficult to treat, and Young Master Qi liked to drink alcohol all year round, so he was almost terminally ill for a while.
Fortunately, on that day, a foreign doctor came to the capital.
Others avoid this foreign doctor, but only Young Master Qi likes Western things, he is curious about those things, so he asks this foreign doctor by name to treat himself.
The cold wind whisked the scars of the earth. Miss Bai was dressed in a white dress and carried a red lacquered medicine box in her hand, and stepped into the gate of Qi Mansion.
When they first met, Qi Chen did not make a good impression on her.
According to the young master's instructions, the housekeeper placed the mahjong table in the house in the courtyard. plus the housekeeper and servants, accompanied Qi Chen to play mahjong in the courtyard day and night.
When Miss Bai came in, Qi Chen was unruly straddle the chair with a mahjong in his hand.
"Huh!"
Qi Chen slapped the table, stood up and observed Miss Bai in front of him playfully.
"Hello, Mr. Qi." Miss Bai took two more steps forward and extended her hand to him in a friendly manner, "My name is Bai Ling." ”
"Sir, Mr. Qi." Qi Chen felt that this title was really funny, so he couldn't help but muttered it to himself a few times, and then looked up at Miss Bai, and became very interested in this doctor who studied in the West.
It just so happened that the weather was beautiful, and it ushered in a heavy snowfall that was two months late.
"It's snowing." Miss Bai smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to catch the snowflakes falling in the air. The cold made the tip of her nose turn red, like a hibiscus flower blooming in the snow.
Since then, the mahjong table in the courtyard has been replaced with a soft couch, which is specially used for Qi Chen's treatment.
The daily treatment that was originally boring and boring is no longer boring since Miss Bai came, and it can even make Young Master Qi look forward to those two hours a day, the two hours he can spend alone with Miss Bai.
"What is this?"
Qi Chen leaned on the soft couch and pointed to the bamboo basket brought by Miss Bai and asked.
Miss Bai didn't answer, just picked up the bamboo basket and handed it to Qi Chen, who lifted the white cloth on it, and there was a basket of green apples neatly placed inside.
"Mr. Qi, summer is here."
Qi Chen looked up at Miss Bai, the sunlight shining through her hair on her slightly reddened cheeks, just right.
He was accustomed to seeing the warbler Yanyan of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and when he saw this hibiscus out of the water for the first time, how could he withstand it.
Every time Miss Bai landed the cold stethoscope on Qi Chen's chest, he involuntarily accelerated his heartbeat.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Qi." Every time she encountered this situation, Miss Bai would gently remind him, but her fingers inadvertently swept across Qi Chen's chest, tickling his heart.
Qi Chen gave his heart to her, and he was confident that Miss Bai could heal herself.
Miss Bai is indeed beautiful and charming.
Her gestures are full of seductive charm, no more, no less, charming and unconscious.
Just like on a rainy day, she tilted her head to wipe her hair with the towel of Qi Mansion, revealing her slender neck and smiling faintly at Qi Chen. Or sit in front of Qi Chen in a cheongsam, and lift Erlang's curvaceous waist when he lifts his legs.
How could Qi Chen hold back his heartbeat.
He wanted her.
Although Qi Chen was taken aback by the thoughts in his head, he had never had such thoughts about other women.
Ten thousand flowers have passed, and the leaves do not stick to the body. But Qi Chen didn't plan to marry Miss Bai to be his main room at all, he just wanted to take a concubine and keep Miss Bai by his side.
The money and power have been in his hands for a long time, Qi Chen understands what he wants better, he attaches more importance to his identity and status, how can a Manchu nobleman marry the daughter of a pharmacist to be his main room. His own status can only correspond to his status in society, in other words, Qi Chen thinks that Miss Bai is only worthy of being a concubine for herself.
What's wrong with the concubine, the young master vows to catch this free hibiscus.
During the rainy season, Miss Bai met an old man in Qi Mansion.
She recognized her at a glance, Guan Xin, the eldest lady of the Guan family, turned out to be Qi Chen's childhood sweetheart.
When she was a child, Ms. Bai's father was also a fetal protection doctor hired by the Guan family, who was responsible for ensuring that Miss Guan could be born safely. But during the pregnancy of the young grandmother of the Guan family, she accidentally fell, and in order not to be blamed by the master, it was said that there was a problem with the medicine prescribed by Dr. Bai.
Dr. Bai was beaten indiscriminately by the Guan family, broke his leg, and threatened Dr. Bai that if the Guan family's child accidentally died, he would have to pass on his child.
It was because of this incident that Miss Bai was sent abroad.
The rootless tree buried deep in Miss Bai's heart slowly grew roots, scratching her heart day and night, especially whenever she saw her father's lame leg.
But it is useless to hate, Miss Bai has a soft temperament, and now Guan Xin is still Qi Chen's childhood sweetheart, under the two families, she can only live a good life is already the biggest revenge on Guan Xin.
One afternoon, Qi Chen asked Miss Bai for a concubine again, this time he won his father's will, Master Qi originally thought that this female doctor was not qualified to pass through the door of the Qi family, but after all, Qi Chen agreed.
Miss Bai wanted to change the topic as usual, but Qi Chen pressed forward step by step this time.
"Why don't we elope!"
"Okay."
Miss Bai didn't see Qi Chen's hesitation, but then she could agree to her, and she felt that Qi Chen was worth believing.
How could she be willing to be a concubine, and how could she allow herself to be a concubine.
Tomorrow at noon, meet at Moonshadow Lake.
Miss Bai came to the Moon Shadow Lake early, and she couldn't wait for Qi Chen's arrival from the three poles of joy to Rizhao.
He broke his promise.
But also, he is a doctor, and his task is to cure his disease, and now that the disease has been cured, what use is there for himself?
But at the same time, a fire in the capital completely changed Miss Bai's life.
The Bai family pharmacy was burned to the ground, and the store manager and handymen, a total of four people, were burned to death.
Miss Bai stood at the door of the pharmacy and looked at the four corpses on the ground, crying and almost fainting.
She was helpless, sitting alone in the burnt black pharmacy, at a loss.
"Miss Bai, there is something sent by the young master of Qi Mansion."
An errand officer knocked on the door, and as soon as Miss Bai heard that it was Qi Chen's name, she wiped the tears from her face in a panic and greeted her.
It was a box of solid wood and red lacquer, and Miss Bai moved it to the table, and when she opened it, it was a gorgeous wedding dress.
A letter is attached.
"Ling'er, I know your grief now, but you have to think about yourself in everything. I, Qi Chen, are still willing to accept you as a concubine, and Qi Mansion can also guarantee all your lives. ”
Miss Bai clutched the letter tightly, her trembling bones accompanied by a few falling tears, she never expected that Qi Chen was not here to save her, but to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Naturally, she didn't promise Qi Chen.
But the day after she rejected Qi Chen, the Qi Mansion still held a grand wedding.
It was the wedding of Qi Chen and Guan Xin.
"I don't want to marry Guan Xin!"
Qi Chen swept down the red wedding candle on the table in a fit of rage, and glared at his father: "The one I want to marry has never been Guan Xin!" ”
But the majestic man in front of him didn't give him a chance to refute at all, and subdued Qi Chen with just one sentence: "You can go with that female pharmacist, but the premise is that you will no longer have the surname Qi from now on." ”
"You promised to elope with her, didn't you go? After thinking about it, I still think that the title of Young Master Qi is more important. ”
It was an auspicious day, and the Qi family was very lively.
Everyone knows that Qi Chen married the eldest lady of the Guan family to be his main room.
It's a pity that within a few days, Guan Xin found that he died tragically in the Qi Mansion, and everyone said that Qi Chen killed his wife.
Qi Chen was removed from the family and has been depressed ever since.
The people in the capital are used to seeing the ups and downs of the world, so they should just watch it as a joke.
A few years later, the capital was lively again, this time it was unusually lively, and the prince married.
The sedan chair was parked in a dilapidated temple to avoid the rain, but it was not only the bride and her party who took shelter from the rain in the temple, but also a scholar.
"Let him go to the capital with me after the rain stops, and bless him with my joy."
Miss Bai sat in the sedan chair and said to the scholars outside.
But if she lifted the sedan curtain at this moment, she would find that the scholar was also an old man, the once brilliant Young Master Qi.
I saw him rise up, I saw him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse.
He wanted to get back all the fame and fortune he had lost through the imperial examination, but the officialdom was like a battlefield, and the Guan family directly canceled his examination qualification because of it.
Qi Chen is no longer the original Qi Chen, but what else will he be afraid of?
He is afraid that what he can't get will be obtained by others, his hibiscus flowers!
Qi Chen stood on the prince's mansion covered in blood, looking at the prince who was lying in a pool of blood, and let out a few arrogant laughs.
Miss Bai didn't dare to step forward, hiding behind the rockery in the courtyard and staring at him blankly.
When the officers and soldiers traced down Qi Chen's thatched hut, they found two bodies lying on the ground.
Miss Bai and Qi Chen.
Until she died, Miss Bai did not wait for Qi Chen's willingness, just like the elopement agreed at the beginning.
Until she died, Miss Bai couldn't listen to Qi Chen say a word of love for her.
Until her death, Miss Bai failed to teach Qi Chen how to love people.
Until she died, Miss Bai couldn't climb out of the deep mansion compound called Qi Mansion.
Qi Chen originally really thought that his feelings for Miss Bai were the same as the grass and trees in his house, and if he liked it, he would stay by his side.
He originally really thought that he only lived for fame and fortune all his life, and his surname was his proud capital, but he didn't expect that when he faced Guan Xin's corpse, he would resist the charge of murder for Miss Bai without even thinking about it.
In fact, when it comes to love, I have loved it for a long time.
The rift of time never stopped, love and hate, and finally it all became the barren grass and buried in the soil.
