Chapter 65: The String Breaks
One
Nanyun had nowhere to vent the frustration in his heart, and kicked over a stone bench on the side of the road.
Chen Fu was too frightened to speak.
Nanyun glanced at him obliquely: "Get out!"
Chen Fu was busy.
Nagumo stood on the side of the road and thought about it for a long time.
How can I think of a way to make her agree.
You can't, use force on her. After all, they are husband and wife, how to face it if they tear their faces, and besides, she is still pregnant.
Thinking about it, I was distraught, and I walked to the "Thrush Hall".
The greatest benefit of a coquettish woman is that it is pleasing to the eye.
The garden is full of spring, just like Yuan'er's delicate face.
"Yuan'er!" He shouted.
No one answered.
Pushing open the door, a strong smell of medicine hit his face, almost knocking him down.
The house was a mess, with clothes scattered on the floor, and a little maid was looking for something in the pile of clothes.
Nagumo frowned.
"What to do!" He was dissatisfied.
The maid Xiaocui turned around when she heard the sound and was taken aback: "Master! β
Yuan'er probed from the back room and quickly retracted again.
"Stop!" Nanyun shouted: "What kind of fame, make the house full of bitter taste!" β
Yuan'er simply lifted the door curtain: "Come in and have a look." β
Nagumo entered the back room.
A medicine jar was billowing with mist.
"Are you sick?" He wondered.
Yuan'er had a gloomy face: "It's not an old problem. They want to give you a son! However, I don't know how much I drank this bitter medicine soup, and there was no movement! β
Nagumo comforted, "There will always be." β
Yuan'er's eyes were red: "I hurt my body last time I had a small birth, but I'm afraid I won't be able to have it again." β
Nanyun apologized: "They all blame me." Please take a good look at it another day. β
Yuan'er lowered her head: "I thought you would stay with Madame today." β
Nanyun pushed away the messy clothes with his hand: "Why is it so messy!" β
"Oh, looking for something." Yuan'er is divided.
"Is this it?" Xiao Cui excitedly waved a green coat on her back.
Yuan'er snatched her clothes and scolded: "Things that don't understand the rules!" What to do in front of the lord with tattered clothes! While scolding, he stuffed his clothes under the pillow.
"Wait!" Nanyun stretched out his hand: "I'll see." β
Yuan'er hid behind her timidly: "It's just an old dress." β
Nanyun Zhengse said: "Bring it!" β
Yuan'er had no choice but to slowly move her clothes in front of her.
Nanyun's eyes were solemn, and his voice was calm: "This dress, is it yours?" β
Yuan'er dodged his eyes: "Yes, oh, no. β
Nanyun shouted, "I recognize this garment." You've been in and out of the stables in this green coat, yes or no? β
Yuan'er couldn't defend herself, so she fell to her knees and cried: "The master spares his life." β
Nanyun said slowly: "Are you going to have a private meeting with Ah San?" β
Yuan'er cried: "Master." The concubine didn't do anything to be sorry for you. β
Nanyun held back his anger: "You stole your lady's veil and deliberately threw it away for me to see, yes or no?" β
Yuan'er sobbed: "Yes." This was all the idea of the second lady, in a vain attempt to blame the lady and make the lady lose the name of unchastity. β
Nagumo was spinning for a while.
He remembered that early morning. Qingluan recited poems and wanted to ride horses, it turned out that it was just to lure herself to the stable and watch their performances.
Women's wars are terrible.
Yuan'er fell to the ground: "This dress has been at the bottom of the box." There is no chance to throw it away. Since moving to the thrush hall, the concubine happened to remember that the bane did not know where to stuff it, it was always a disaster, and she wanted to find it and burn it. I don't want to show my feet today. I also hope that the old man will forgive Yuan'er, but Yuan'er will not dare anymore. β
For a long time, there was no movement, Yuan'er raised her head, but found Nanyun looking at Tsing Yi in a daze.
"Sir." Yuan'er was timid.
"You're so smart." Nanyun sneered: "Play with me in the palm of your hand!" β
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked hurt: "When I'm a fool!" He pointed at Yuan'er: "You vicious woman, it's really terrible!" β
Yuan'er could only cry: "Master spare me." β
Nanyun said viciously: "It's easy to spare you, Madame's name was almost ruined by you." Even I almost believed it. β
Yuan'er prostrate on the ground: "Yuan'er is just to love you." The second lady promised that as long as I helped her, she would help me sit in the position of the third lady. Yuan'er is just a woman who wants to be a master. β
Nanyun sighed: "What kind of desire, so that people can do whatever it takes to ruin people's reputation." β
Yuan'er whispered: "Master, didn't you destroy your own flesh and blood with your own hands?" β
Nagumo was startled.
A thought flashed in his heart like lightning, and he even broke out in a cold sweat because of this timely thought.
Yes, for personal gain, sometimes, flesh and blood affection can also be used.
When it comes to despicability and shamelessness, he may have done a hundred times more.
"Get up." He held out his hand to her, his voice softening.
Yuan'er hesitated and shook his hand.
She didn't know that at this moment, a strange thought was slowly forming in his heart.
Two
There was a faint sound of thunder intermittently, and then, in the air, the rain fell rapidly, hitting the eaves, tinkling and ding, as if to make harmony with the sound of the piano in the house.
Shen Qingluo lowered her head and stroked the qin, not noticing the change in the weather outside.
The sound of the piano is resentful, like crying and complaining, unspeakable loneliness and sadness.
Xiao Rong stood quietly behind him, feeling very uncomfortable.
The sound of the piano gradually subdued, and finally fell silent.
Xiao Rong saw that Shen Qingluo slowly lowered her head.
"It's raining outside?" Shen Qingluo said lightly: "I don't know if the guests in the front hall have dispersed. β
Xiao Rong couldn't help but complain: "The master is too much, on such an occasion, he actually let the second lady come forward to entertain, where to put your dignified lady!" β
"Don't say that," Shen Qingluo gently wiped the body of the piano, and her tone was indifferent: "I'm like this now, it's inconvenient to entertain guests." Besides, they're all business people, and I'm too lazy to socialize. β
"But, in the end, you're the main lady. The master's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is also your brilliance. Xiao Rong said.
Shen Qingluo said calmly: "If it was before, I would have thought so. But now, I'd rather he's just an innocent reader. β
Xiao Rong sighed: "Don't you see that in front of the guests, the lord talks about his high-spirited appearance, which is like two people." But Xiao Rong couldn't understand how he could become so ruthless. It's been half a month, and he hasn't been to you once. β
"There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. He has a good life, and I rejoice in his place. Shen Qingluo looked at the dripping rain outside the window, her eyes were far away, as if she saw the young man who sold words on the long street in the past.
"You think about him with all your heart, but he only has other women in his heart!" Xiao Rong couldn't hold back any longer, and said indignantly: "Xiao Rong knows that the song you just played is called 'Changmen Resentment', which is the song of Empress Chen who misses Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But do you know that the piano you played, the 'Green Qi' that you loved so much, was originally intended to be given to the second lady!"
Shen Qingluo was stunned: "What did you say?" β
Xiao Rong simply said: "This is not a real famous piano, it is a fake!" It was bought by the master to be given to the second lady, because it was a fake, so he gave it to you. β
Shen Qingluo stared at Xiao Rong, her face gloomy: "Why do you say that?" β
"I heard it with my own ears, and I can't fake it. Once, I was picking four seasons laurel in the flower pavilion, and later, when I saw the second lady and Yuan'er coming, the slave maid did not want to greet them, so she hid behind the tree. The second lady showed off, the lord went to Luoyang back then, spent 2,000 taels of silver, and bought a famous piano for her, but unfortunately it was fake, so she gave it to you, and laughed at you for not knowing the goods. At that time, they were laughing so hard that the slaves and maids wept angrily. β
Shen Qingluo frowned slightly: "When the master went to Luoyang, she hadn't passed the door yet. How could you buy her a piano? β
Xiao Rong stomped his feet: "You are so confused." I don't understand yet, at that time, they had already hooked up. β
Shen Qingluo's hands and feet were cold.
She recalls that time.
At that time, she saw the piano in Nagumo's luggage, and took it for granted that it was given to her.
"Is it for a concubine?"
"Ah San said, you personally picked it. Is it? β
She said with a smile.
"It's not a good piano either." He hesitated.
"What you give is the best thing in the world." She was blindfolded by happiness and couldn't see the hesitation in his eyes.
"How about the concubine play a song 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' for you?"
"I want to hear it." He laughs.
Shen Qingluo felt a pain in her heart.
He was stupid and infatuated, playing 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' for the man he loved, but he didn't know that he was thinking of another woman at that time.
I once thought that the love I once had, it turned out that it was just a myth woven by my own wishful thinking.
In fact, as early as when Qingluan first married and entered the door, he already understood, and even saw with his own eyes that day, he chopped off Qiulan's finger for protection, and he should have understood.
First Yuan'er, then Qingluan.
In his heart, he once had his own place.
It's just that I've been deceiving myself and don't want to face it.
Sometimes, being willing to forgive a person is not really forgiving him, but not being willing to lose him.
It turned out that the lovesickness was not revealed, just because the love was deep in the bones.
Shen Qingluo held the strings, and there was a sharp pain in her hand.
"Zheng! Zheng! With a crumbling sound, the two strings broke.
"Miss!" Xiao Rong exclaimed and walked closer quickly.
Shen Qingluo slowly let go of her hand, holding two broken strings in her bloodstained palm.
I have a green harp, and no one listens to the broken strings.
"Miss, why are you doing this?" Xiao Rong burst into tears, while scrambling, looking for a cloth to wrap the wound.
Suddenly, Xiao Rong said in surprise: "Hey, what is this?" "Stoop down and pick up a letter from the door.
Shen Qingluo took it and opened the letter hesitantly, only to see that she was surprised: "Where did the letter come from?" β
"The slave doesn't know." Xiao Rong opened the door and looked around: "There is no one outside." What to write? God mysterious. β
"It's Boa's news." Shen Qingluo frowned slightly: "I don't know who sent it." β
"Brother Ling's news is confidential. There is a horse-drawn carriage at the back door. "On paper, dragons fly and phoenixes dance.
"Go now." Shen Qingluo's voice was quick and firm.
"However, is this letter of unknown origin true or falseΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Xiao Rong hesitated.
"I don't care about that." Shen Qingluo was so excited by the news that she couldn't calm down: "People in the rivers and lakes have their own practices in the rivers and lakes. β
"But your hands have to be bandaged, and they're still bleeding." Xiao Rong looked at Shen Qingluo's bloody fingers.
Shen Qingluo shook Xiao Rong's hand away: "No need." β
The master and servant walked along the path at a gallop.
"Do you want to tell the master to know?" Xiao Rong said.
Shen Qingluo looked at the servant walking in the distance: "Forget it." He's busy today. β
The back door approached, and it was lonely.
For some reason, the gate of the garden is hidden, and through the crack in the door, you can see the wide street outside.
When I opened the door, I could see at a glance that there was a green cloth carriage parked on the side, and a man in black was driving and waiting.
"Ma'am, please get in the car." The man's face was lowered, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
Xiao Rong raised his leg to get into the car and was stopped by the man.
"The master said that the lady was the only one to go." He said coldly.
Shen Qingluo didn't think about it: "Okay, I'll go with you." β
Xiao Rong said anxiously: "Miss can't be alone in danger!" β
Shen Qingluo said calmly: "It's okay. When he boarded the car and closed the curtain, he suddenly instructed: "Tell Steward Li to prepare the silver." β
The whip was raised, the wheels rolled, and a puff of gray smoke was raised.
Only Xiao Rongwu was spontaneously stunned.
