Chapter 3: Blockage
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Xingchun was still dressing up, and there was a noise outside.
The apprentice knocked on the door and walked in with tea, sat next to Xingchun to sort out the silk threads for her, and sighed, wanting to speak and stopping, Zhu Xingchun thought of the clue with a slight guess: "Pei Yanche came so early?" β
"No, he is desperate, but he is tired of the master, you accompany him to make a joke in Shangjing. Are you really not going to meet in person, though? The man has been standing outside for a long time, and the neighbors are pointing at you, just to embarrass you. β
Zhu Xingchun put down the wooden comb.
It seems that even if the Duancheng County Lord has a lump in his heart, it has been resolved by Pei Yanche.
Because she is a powerless woman, are you waiting for her to compromise first?
"You can go, let him wait." Xingchun put down the needle and thread, and took a sip of tea happily, "The left and right are just the genealogy of the eunuch clan, even if it is cut in two, people like Pei Yanche must be high." β
She stared at the unfinished butterfly through the flowers in her hand, "Since he wants to overwhelm me with public opinion, then I will accept it all, and let him suffer a little, what's the matter?" β
"Everyone thought I was in a hurry, but in fact, it was him who didn't land in his official position...... Lizi wants to save face, how can there be such a good thing in the world. β
When the apprentice heard this, the expression on his face did not relax, but became more solemn. She asked hesitantly, "Master, at that moment just now, your eyes were not hidden, they were shaking up and down, and you were about to jump out. You used to really have a heart hanging over him, vowing to die, right? β
Zhu Xingchun's needle was crooked, and he almost punctured his hand.
This made her stunned and remembered an old incident.
The first time she did embroidery, she sewed a forehead for Pei Yanche.
The workmanship is not very exquisite, but at least she lit the candle flame for several nights, pierced several holes in her fingers, and shed an unknown amount of blood. was full of thoughts about the Pei family brother who smiled at her kindly.
The deepest part of the memory is Pei Yanche and her sitting side by side in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he carefully held his forehead and rubbed it in his palm, his eyes were full of her shadow.
He cherished and said that he would cherish this gift as a sister of Xingchun.
She happily hooked Pei Yanche's little finger.
"Then we will pull the hook, and the one who turns his back on the other party will swallow a thousand embroidery needles."
And this man, who had promised her a lifetime, is now riding on a tall horse, beaming with the congratulations of the Shangjing Wang clan, and is about to marry the county lord of the golden branches and jade leaves.
And her hand wishing to wake up spring has been made of thin bones.
Therefore, an hour later, on the second floor of a teahouse not far from the shop, Xingchun stared at the man who didn't dare to raise his head to look at her without blinking, and was a little puzzled: "The matter has been done, what qualifications do you have to pester me one after another?" β
Pei Yanche's eyes were obviously dark, and his justification was extremely ridiculous: "I don't have a relationship between men and women for the county lord......
Zhu Xingchun sighed, feeling that everything was very boring. She took a tightly wrapped handkerchief from her sleeve and pushed it in front of him.
Inside is a crystal clear hosta.
"Give me back the fish and fish, just get together and disperse, you understand my temperament, don't force me to burn with you."
Pei Yanche was incredulous: "Xingchun, are you really so ruthless, you don't even have the face of growing up together?" β
Zhu Xingchun asked rhetorically: "Do you think I'm still wasting time here and talking to you calmly because I still have attachment to you?" β
Perhaps it is because the expectations have been worn out for so many years, and I wish Xingchun to be more calm than ever. Even, knowing that the balance in his heart gradually shifted to another person, she still had a longing to wish the two of them happiness.
"You are always so persistent, we have known each other for decades, you have always followed me without saying a word, I can't guess your thoughts, but why are you just not willing to give me a little more time to make amends?"
When Pei Yanche said this, his expression was very painful and hopeful.
He can be entangled like a nobody, but Xingchun doesn't want to see this face for a moment.
"If you give me three more years, I will be able to welcome you through the door. Xingchun, I love you, I have never treated Duancheng as if I loved you. β
His voice was low, but Zhu Xingchun's eyes widened.
With a "snap", the hosta shattered on the ground and split into two pieces.
Zhu Xingchun closed her eyes fiercely, and the young man she regarded as a bright gentleman seemed to have suddenly disappeared at this moment.
"What kind of face do you have, let me wash my hands and be your concubine?" She sneered, and finally stopped reining in, "If this can be called a reparation, then I really regret knowing you!" Do you think I'm something that comes and goes? β
Pei Yanche couldn't understand her sudden turn of face, the moment the hairpin shattered, the anger surging in his heart made him blurt out: "Don't you understand the temperament of the Prime Minister and the county lord of Duancheng?" How small are you and me, and you still want to shake the golden words of the two of them? β
"I gave you a chance."
Zhu Xingchun is a pearl: "I have been in Beijing for more than three years, and I have made a name for myself and have my own industry. But what about you, have you ever thought of taking the initiative to come to me, even if you mention me once? You were so proud in high school, did you ever think about making it up to me? β
"In your Pei Da Zhuangyuan's heart, I am just a little woman, what do you wish everyone, but a stranger with the same surname, how can it be your useless and incompetent fiancΓ©e-you think so, right?"
The world always thinks that I can only bow my head, bend my waist, and attach myself to you, who is superior to others. Just because you have gained fame and feel that you are on the rise, so I deserve to be your vassal in my life, without my own name? β
Zhu Xingchun straightened his back and stood up, picked up the hot tea on the table, and poured it into his face.
Pei Yanche didn't care about the heat, and hurriedly wiped the embarrassment on his clothes.
"You're arrogant. But what you can get your hands on now is really yours? Or did you laugh out of the fingers of the Duancheng County Lord? β
The words of Xingchun are like stabbing knives, dissecting the fragility that men are most reluctant to expose in their hearts.
Pei Yanche hung his head in despair.
After a long time, he took off the ring around his waist and threw it out of the window.
His voice seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, vicious, "Zhu Xingchun, you are capable and smart, I admit it, but you are selfish and selfish, and it may not be you who can't recognize your identity, a businesswoman born in cloth, you have come to this point, you are enough, don't think about those things you can't get, is it so difficult?" β
Pei Yanche's voice was sharp.
In response to him, Zhu Xingchun slapped him vigorously.
