Chapter Seventy-Five: Not My Daughter
Su Jianxing followed Qu Gufeng into the courtyard. I thought this courtyard was exquisite when I looked at it from a distance, but when I walked in, I found that the inside was like a forest garden in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The pavilions and buildings are complete, and the buildings with white walls and blue tiles flicker among the lush greenery.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Jianxing heard the sound of running water, and when she looked up, a one-foot-wide canal with nine bends and eighteen bends meandered along the verandah and extended to the courtyard beyond.
Seeing Su Jianxing looking at the clear water canal, Qu Gufeng said: "It's Qu Shui, Bang Niang used to like this the most." ”
Su Jianxing said: "I heard A-Niang say it. ”
In my memory, Su Wan's health was already very bad at that time, and he spent most of the month in bed, and the remaining half of the time could only half-sit up and lean on the side of the bed, looking sideways at the window.
Su Jianxing asked someone to put her bed by the window, so that even if she was lying down, she could see the outside scenery as soon as she raised her eyes. It's just that the winter days in the north are exceptionally long, and the climate is dry, and most of the time you can't see the lush greenery of the south.
Whenever this happens, Su Wan will start to feel homesick, miss Nandi, and miss the winding water in the courtyard of his hometown. She said: "Every spring, when the flowers in the garden bloom, the floodgates are opened and the living water is brought into the garden, and the stream flows from the east of the garden along the canal to the west of the garden, and the water is murmuring. Listening to the sound of the water while enjoying the blossoms is also interesting. ”
Speaking of these, the pair of misty eyes embedded in Su Wan's thin face will light up. She remembers: "Sometimes I will post to invite my little sisters to enjoy the flowers, and it is not elegant to sing poems and paint." But it is not necessary to gather together and find their favorite scenery to enjoy. When the mood comes, people put the cup filled with peach blossom brew in a wooden plate, and flow down the waterway, and whoever wants to drink it will take it when the wooden plate passes by. ”
Speaking of this, Su Wan's eyes darkened again, and they were full of thoughts: "I really want to go back and take a look." ”
Su Jianxing said: "Auntie, take medicine well, take your body well, and when I am older, I will take you home to see." ”
Su Wan stopped talking, looked at her with gentle and apologetic eyes, rubbed her head, and said, "Okay." He sighed softly again, and looked out the window with a wistful gaze.
At that time, Su Jianxing was still young, and he didn't understand why A-Niang obviously agreed, but she still didn't show her face. Now I understand, but A-Niang has already picked up the loess and doesn't know where she went to be reincarnated.
After Su Jianxing finished talking about the past, Qu Gufeng was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "Blame me, if I could have been more careful and less gullible to others, maybe I wouldn't have missed it with your mother." ”
Su Jianxing: "It's hard to say about fate, if you really feel guilty, then investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
Qu Gufeng nodded: "I will." ”
"Hmm." Su Jianxing nodded. She wasn't curious, she didn't ask what had happened. Ah Niang: Yes, death is a natural occurrence, and it is the destiny of heaven. As mortals, they did everything they could have done at the beginning, and they have no regrets. She is close to A-Niang, and she understands very well that A-Niang has no nostalgia for this man who has lost her.
When A-Niang was dying, she couldn't let go of herself the most. But Su Jianxing doesn't have to talk to Qu Gufeng about this.
There was no word for a moment, and the atmosphere fell silent. In the end, although there is a trace of blood bond between them, it is still
Qu Gufeng suddenly asked her, "Do you want to go and see the room I prepared for you?" ”
Su Jianxing shook his head: "No need, I don't plan to live here." ”
Qu Gufeng revealed: "Are you still blaming me?" ”
"Nope." Su Jianxing denied: "I said earlier, we are clear." ”
Qu Gufeng looked forward to it: "But I want to be a good father." ”
Su Jianxing didn't speak, but the way she looked at him clearly revealed the answer - she didn't need her father anymore, when she was young and lonely and needed her father, her father didn't appear, and now she has gone through hardships alone and no longer needs her father.
After she stabbed him with a sword and heard Elder Ma talk about those old things, all the knots in her father and heart when she was young were unraveled.
That's good, that's good.
Qu Gufeng smiled bitterly and said, "That's it, I forced it." ”
Su Jianxing breathed a sigh of relief and comforted: "It's okay, you don't have more than one daughter anyway." ”
Qu Gufeng's expression became a little strange, "You mean Qu Qingyao?" ”
Isn't it? Could it be that there is something else? If that's the case, Su Jianxing won't be able to comment on it.
Qu Gufeng saw that she seemed to have misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "You think too much, that child is not my daughter." ”
Su Jianxing was stunned. Qu Qingyao is not Qu Gufeng's daughter? Are you kidding? If not, what is Qu Qingyao really targeting her for so many years? That's a big deal......
For a while, Su Jianxing didn't know what to do with a good expression.
Qu Gufeng explained carefully: "Maybe you know that I had a marriage contract with Liu Ruqing, that is, Qu Qingyao's mother. ”
Su Jianxing nodded, it was precisely because of this that Qu Qingyao had always regarded her and her A-Niang as the culprits who destroyed her happiness, and only after she came to the Shengyuan Sect that she was kind to her, she spread rumors behind her back to make her isolated by her peers, and let Cheng Qian instruct the outer disciples to bully her.
"But you don't know, my marriage contract with Liu Ruqing was actually made more than 200 years ago, but there has been no contract."
"Why?" Su Jianxing's interest in listening to gossip was hooked, and he couldn't help asking.
Qu Gufeng didn't sell Guan Zi, and continued: "Because Senior Sister Qu originally had a sweetheart. But her master disagreed. ”
So what does this matter have to do with the old style? She looked at Qu Gufeng with burning eyes, and couldn't imagine how he got involved in this matter.
Speaking of his past, Qu Gufeng was also a little embarrassed, but seeing that Su Jianxing was so interested, he didn't want to ruin her interest, and continued: "Senior Sister Qu knew that I was dedicated to cultivating to the Dao, and I was respectful of these children, so she found me and explained the reason, wanting me to make a marriage contract with her to cover her and her sweetheart. ”
Su Jianxing understood, Liu Ruqing wanted to repair the plank road in the dark. But why did you agree to this matter? After all, if this kind of thing is not done well, it will not only be thankless, but it will also cause a lot of trouble. Qu Gufeng, such a candidate for training as the next head, can make such a mistake?
Su Jianxing thought about it, so he asked the question.
Qu Gufeng coughed lightly and said, "Although the means of refining the weapons of Tianxuan Peak are not as powerful as those of the Tiangong Sect, they are also among the best in the Ten Sects of Immortal Mountain. At that time, I had just advanced to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant Stage, and I needed to refine the natal magic weapon again. ”
Su Jianxing suddenly realized. In the final analysis, Liu Ruqing gave too much at the beginning, and the old style was not wronged.
