Chapter 9: See you again
In this flash, it is seven years, and I have changed from a yellow flower girl to an old girl to be married.
Since I first recovered from my illness, I have no strength and no longer think about anything.
When he was young, Shen Kongqing, who fantasized about going to the battlefield to be a general, seemed to have followed the illness.
I changed back to Shen Wan again, and let my father and mother send someone to be a matchmaker and asked me to be the wife of that family, so I agreed and packed up my things to get married.
It was the first time I went out after I got well, and just a few steps out of the door, I saw a group of little girls turning red ropes.
The red cord was glaring in the sunlight, reminding me of the one on my wrist.
I was fascinated by the red rope, and when I looked up, I shook my head, and I saw the old man.
It's still the same pair of peach blossom eyes, but they no longer smile, and they hide under the black robe and look in my direction.
Su Shaoheng pulled up his hair with a jade hairpin, tied a belt to hide gold around his waist, and followed by a caravan.
He seemed to see me, but he didn't seem to see me, but he glanced at me and then withdrew his gaze and walked on.
I just remembered that Mrs. Hou's family was a salt merchant in Jiangnan, and it was his grandfather who sent someone to take him back at that time.
And he reappeared in Beijing, afraid that he would come back to avenge the destruction of the door back then. I let go of my clenched fist and sighed to myself, I was so tired, so tired that I didn't want to care about anything.
That night, it wasn't too peaceful.
I dreamed that someone pushed open the window of my house, rolled in, and startled me, and woke up from the dream, only to see someone sitting on the chair in front of my bed. I sat up from the bed, and through the screen, I saw a long sword at the man's waist, and his right hand caressed the hilt, and he didn't let go for a moment.
The sword does not leave his body, he must have had a very hard time all these years.
I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn't get a word out, only a sigh.
"I'm here to congratulate you on your marriage."
Before he opened the window and left, he took out a boxy box from his bosom and placed it on the table. There was a small dagger in the box, which was exquisitely made, and the handle was engraved with a bird soaring in the blue sky.
I just remembered that when I was a teenager, I also fantasized about being a bird, unrestrained.
I put the dagger under my pillow, leaned against the window and murmured, "Why are you so ruthless? When you come back, you won't come and take me away. ”
My wedding date was originally scheduled for three months later, but the court was not very peaceful, I heard that there was another war in the south, and the barbarians were in charge of the three cities, and they were approaching Shangjing, and the candles in the emperor's bedroom were burning for three days, and they summoned people to discuss countermeasures day and night.
The person who married me was the son of the Lin family, who also studied in the Su family's private school, and had some feelings for me, for fear of long nights and dreams, so he advanced the marriage date to three days later.
Daddy happily accepted the dowry, and naturally there was no one who didn't agree. So the marriage was decided in such a hurry.
For the next three days, there was a figure wandering outside my window at night.
After the defeat of the Su family, the Su family's mansion was desolate, so I rolled up the quilt and slept in the house where Su Shaoheng once lived on the back mountain. When I opened the window lattice, I could see the man on the table and chair in the bamboo forest, with his head propped up, as if he was asleep, and he was not there before dawn.
I sat night and night waiting for him to speak, but he didn't.
On the third day, the Lin family knocked all the way to my house to welcome my relatives.
Before I stepped out of the boudoir in a festive wedding dress, I wanted to look back at the window again, but I didn't dare, I was afraid that I would turn back, but he was not there.
When I step out of this door, we won't be us anymore.
