Chapter 16: Go and Stay
In early autumn and October, dead leaves hang on the branches.
Locust trees, sycamores, and camphor are about to open the destination of feeding, and the fallen leaves return to their roots.
Only osmanthus trees and evergreen shrubs flourish and inherit the abundant spring greenery.
In the usual season, the fragrance of osmanthus wafts in the wind throughout the small courtyard of Qinse, refreshing people's hearts.
A blizzard killed the fragrance, not only freezing the tiny flower bones between the leaves, but also freezing the fragrance, and locking in the deep grievances in the courtyard.
"Mother, why are you crying again."
A girl carved in pink and jade, I don't know when, walked lightly to the beautiful lady with a sad face.
Mei Jiaoniang immediately woke up when she heard this, put away the slender jade hand that was supporting her cheeks, picked up the silk handkerchief on the shelf in a panic to wipe her tears, wiped away the gloom, squeezed out a smile and said, "Why don't you play with your cousin, and cousin." ”
Even though she has become a beautiful lady who has children, the smile after I see pity really shows the beauty of the country and the city.
She has a bun of cloud sideburns, and a golden step is swayed obliquely; There is a three-pointed flame in the center of the eyebrows, echoing the bright red palace skirt embroidered with the phoenix Yu Fei; Under the lightly swept Emei, a pair of Danfeng eyes contain two kitsch and vulgar attitudes; The delicate nose, connected to the thin and narrow goldfish mouth, has a faint fairy spirit on the tight delicate face, naturally revealing a touch of arrogant reserve; Even if he has given birth to a child, his skin is still as delicate as warm jade, lined with a crystal glow; The low and narrow dark purple bandeau failed to wrap the delicate curves, when she was sitting on the lap, her concave and convex figure was about to come out, beauty is beautiful, why bother to be so beautiful that she overwhelmed the crowd, and the voice was full of Zhou Guo.
This is Ning Gouru, the existence of the top of the list of beauties in Zhou Guo who made Wu Shi fall at a glance.
"I'm tired of playing, Yu'er wants to pluck the strings and drums with my mother."
The girl was only six years old, not yet tall, with her head raised, her dark and clear Danfeng eyes open, and her face was well-behaved and puzzled.
Ning Gouru coaxed with a smile: "Mother doesn't have the heart to teach, can you go and play with your cousin?" ”
The girl was also sensible, and did not mess around, but came up with an idea: "Mother, let's go to my father and let him teach me to play the piano, I haven't seen him for several days." ”
When the girl mentioned her father, Ning Gouru's face suddenly turned cold, her eyes were like knives, and she released a murderous intent that was lost and despaired.
At first glance, seeing the fierce appearance of her mother, the girl was scared, and she couldn't help but take a step back, trembling and weakly said: "Yu'er mentions her father, why is her mother so fierce, scared to death." ”
Ning Gou felt like a gaffe, put away his fierce appearance, and stretched out a white jade-like soft wattle.
The girl took three steps forward on her short legs and stretched out her little hand to grab her mother's hand.
Ning Gouru pulled her daughter's cold hand while squatting down from her seat and holding her tightly in her arms.
"My mother didn't mean to scare you, don't be afraid." Ning Gouru rubbed her daughter's back, comforting her.
"Dad, why didn't he come to see us?" Huang Shiyu grabbed Ning Gouru's body with both hands and gradually stabilized.
"He's busy slaying demons and fending off foreign enemies, and now he's not in the city, so he'll come to see us when he's done."
Ning Gouru said two lines of tears and involuntarily went downstream, her voice was originally crying, but she forcibly changed her tone.
Huang Shiyu seemed to realize something, always felt that something was wrong, wanted to break free, and looked into her mother's eyes to speak.
Ning Gouru didn't let her daughter succeed, and she didn't let go of her daughter until she wiped away her tears.
At this moment, there was a sound of small footsteps outside the house, presumably the arrival of my father and several brothers.
But I don't know what bad news Dr. Yu Shi brought, the personal maid is nowhere to be seen at the moment, so she has to flee behind her back, and the Ning family's end of life has arrived.
"Uncle Yang is gone." My father and three brothers were all present, but fortunately, their faces were not ugly.
Ning Yiwu sighed lightly, and when he saw that his niece was present, he wanted to speak again.
At this time, a slightly older girl appeared behind Ning Qiangyun, who approached Huang Shiyu: "Cousin, why did you run back, looking for you everywhere." ”
Huang Shiyu said: "When I'm tired of playing, I'll come back and rest by myself." ”
She is not interested in her cousin's politeness and intimacy.
The older girl said angrily, "Cousin, you have to tell us." ”
Ning Qiangyun took the opportunity to make arrangements: "Xun'er, Yu'er, you go out to play first, and the adults have to talk about something." ”
Ning Xun pulled Huang Shiyu and said, "Let's go outside and get some osmanthus flowers that are not broken." ”
Huang Shiyu froze in place and didn't move, looking at her mother.
Ning Gou nodded his head and waved her to go outside to play.
After the two little girls walked out of the house, the eyes of the four pairs of eyes were all fixed on Ning Gouru.
Ning Gou was like a mang being stabbed, deeply disturbed and unfamiliar, since the letter appeared in the Ning family, the Ning family has changed her drastically.
Her eyes swept over the three brothers, and her leisurely gaze turned back to Ning Yiwu and asked, "Father, what is Uncle Yang doing?" ”
Ning Yiwu frowned, seeing that her baby daughter was getting thinner, she seemed to have cried just now, and said unbearably: "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom has arrived in Haojing, and he is willing to exchange the occupied Senkai County and Shangjian County for you and Yu'er to go to the Jin Kingdom, His Royal Highness asked Uncle Yang to come and ask the meaning of the Ning family." ”
Ning Gou said tremblingly: "All what Huang Lang said in that letter has come true. ”
No one answered her directly, and everyone knew that silence was tacit.
Ning Gouru smiled sadly, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks without fighting, crying silently.
The sorrow of the world is nothing more than the people you love and dearest, separated by yin and yang.
"Hey, Huang Chaoxi harmed my Ning family, and it is unforgivable to die." The eldest brother Ning Qiangjun couldn't help but scold, he couldn't bear to see his sister so sad, and his anger was nowhere to go.
Women are as tender as water, how can they bear to cry, not to mention that they are still flesh and blood.
Ning Gouru glanced back indignantly.
The second brother Ning forcibly said unbearably: "Father, in my opinion, Yu'er can be sent back to the Jin Kingdom, and now my brother-in-law ...... He is dead, what is the matter with my little sister going to the Jin Kingdom, this matter is all a conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom, and my Ning family is also in the dark. ”
Ning Yiwu endured the pain and said, "Xiaoru, are you willing to part with Yu'er?" If you want, Daddy go and tell His Highness. ”
Ning Gouru held back her grief, shook her head and said, "Yu'er is only five years old, tell her how to go to the strange Jin Kingdom to grow up." ”
Ning Qiangyun said indignantly: "With her grandfather and uncle to take care of, the dignified Nanguo Mansion in Jinguo Town can't shelter her, little sister, now you have to think about the Ning family, the current situation of the Ning family is all due to your husband, if he doesn't die, the third brother really wants to slash him." ”
Ning Gouru retorted with mourning, and his tone was obviously not very confident: "Third brother, Huang Lang is dead, why do you complain about the dead person." ”
Ning Qiangyun said angrily: "If he Huang Chaoxi has a conscience, he shouldn't marry you and have a daughter, so that my Ning family is unrighteous in the Zhou Kingdom." ”
"Huang Lang has made amends by exchanging his life for death, if he doesn't have a conscience, he can leave as soon as he leaves, what else do you have to blame." Ning Gou argues on the basis of reason, a little unabashed, regardless of the meaning.
Ning Qiangyun grimaced: "I scold you, if you weren't my own sister, I would have beheaded you and that evil seed with my own hands today." ”
Ning Gouru raised his neck, put on a posture of slashing, cried and glanced at his third brother, and said, "Okay, you should not have my sister, kill me to show your heart to the king." ”
"You ......" Ning Qiangyun was angry and ready to move.
"Yun'er." Rather dance and drink.
Ning Qiangjun and Ning Qiangxing hurriedly persuaded each other, and one pulled the other.
"Yu'er must go to the Jin Kingdom, there is no room for negotiation, as for you, you make your own choice." Ning Yiwu had a gloomy face and made a final decision.
Looking at the back of her father brushing her sleeves away, Ning Gouru felt strange, the blood relatives in the family had already given birth to irreconcilable suspicions because of her innocent identity, not to mention the Zhou people who had no relatives and no reason, and took Yu'er to the Jin Kingdom to change the land of the two counties without hesitation.
However, what kind of business is it for her to go to the Jin State, Huang Chaoxi died, and she had nothing to do with the Jin State.
Zhou Guo can't tolerate her mother and daughter anymore?
Can't they stay in Zhou as subjects of Zhou?
What is the crime of a five-year-old daughter?
Where did she betray Zhou Guo?
Ning Gouru returned to the front of the serker, distraught and depressed, no one could speak, neither sitting nor walking, his fingers plucked the strings, making a sound that seemed to be nothing.
