Chapter 40: Chang Jing (4)
The military attache looked at the young girl on the left and Shang Hua on the right, and a trace of doubt appeared in the corner of his eyes, but it was only fleeting.
politely and elegantly pulled the girl behind him, and then arched a hand to Shang Hua: "This brother doesn't need to worry, my wife is not injured, don't worry!"
He seemed polite and gentle, but his words were full of hostility, although he smiled appropriately on the surface, there was also a faint hint of doubt between his eyebrows.
"Thank you two for not being blamed, then I'm going to leave here!"
Instead of being so embarrassed to freeze here, it is better to hurry up and leave, Shang Hua returned to the two of them and then turned around and stepped on the horse.
As the horse team slowly moved forward, he looked back at the background of a man and a woman who had also left, but he was facing the girl who looked back at him.
The two looked at each other again, and there were a few doubts and a few familiarities in each other's eyes.
returned to the pavilion to stay, and the next day he was going to prepare for the inventory of the tribute to Tang Gaozong, and handed it over to his subordinates. Shang Hua didn't even have dinner, so he hurried back to his room.
Sitting in front of the window, looking at the high courtyard wall, his thoughts fluttered with the wind, and he took out a purple Su brocade bag from his arms, and poured out the pair of golden bells inside.
A breeze blows, mixed with a faint, dark and slightly mysterious fragrance. This wonderful fragrance made Shang Hua unconsciously think of the past, how did the eldest grandson Lingxin with his head tied in a double bun and his hair tied with a bell where? Over the years, he had been thinking about whether she was okay all the time, but he had no way of knowing.
The pavilion where I live now is the place where I used to study fashion and live in China, and then it is expanding and improving, and it is combined with the former eldest grandson's outer residence, which is also a unique taste.
The sound of "squeak" came from the courtyard next door.
What's more, although it has been built there, it has been uninhabited for a long time, so could it be that someone has come boldly and wants to wait for an opportunity to steal the tribute?
Rushing out of the window and flying up to the courtyard wall, Shang Hua observed carefully, but saw a person carrying a basket in his hand, sliding like a fish into the blood-red flower bed in the courtyard.
Silently falling beside the man, she bent down and said, "This girl, who is so exposed in the middle of the night, is not good to rest at home, and sneaks into the pavilion of this foreign envoy, if she is made an assassin or a thief, will not she cause trouble?"
Because his voice was too abrupt, the person who came was frightened like a bird, and suddenly fell to the ground, and the basket in his hand also fell to the ground, and the contents of the basket were scattered, but although "he" was so frightened, he covered his mouth and did not dare to say a word.
Gently picking up the things on the ground and putting them back in the basket, Shang Hua found that they were some scissors, rakes, ripper shovels, and some rotting leaves and dirt.
"Please, don't say it, adults!" The man Xu was steady, and quickly patted the soil on his body and stood up, and bowed lightly, "But, if no one takes care of this flower, it won't last this season, I'm really sorry!" The voice is sweet and soft, she should be a lively and lovely girl.
Amused by her playful and lovely words, Shang Hua smiled: "Since you are here to protect the flowers, it is good to come in during the day, isn't it misunderstood?"
"How would I have entered this courtyard if I had come in the daytime?" the girl's voice was low, and one hand gently stroked the crown of a bright red flower.
The clouds in the sky avoided the moon, and the silver moonlight sprinkled down and enveloped the people in front of him, Shang Hua was shocked: it was the girl who almost died under the horse's hooves on the street!
"Don't hide it from my son, these flowers were planted by my father before his death, and now my father has passed away for many years, and this flower is the only thought he left me in this world!"
As she spoke, the girl's eyes turned red, and tears welled up with her.
Looking at the person in front of him, Shang Hua's heart was like thunder, and he was indescribably excited for a while, grabbed the girl's shoulder, and said in an indescribable tone: "You, you are the eldest grandson Lingxin, you are Ling'er!"
First instinctively struggled with the imprisoned arms, and the moment her name was called, the girl's whole body stiffened, and her eyes fell straight on Shang Hua's face.
Reaching out and gently stroking his face, the girl said in a trembling voice, "You, yes, Shang Hua?"
Hearing the other party call his name, Shang Hua was almost so excited that he burst into tears, and quickly took out the brocade bag from his arms, and poured out the bell inside, the bell was smooth and round in the moonlight, shining with dazzling brilliance!
Two people who have been separated for many years met in such a Qixi season.
However, the young man at that time has now grown into a handsome man in the wind of the jade tree, and the delicate girl with her hair combed and bun has already become a slim jade person.
Sitting on the ground and looking at each other, recounting the past after parting, there is a lot of emotion in it, and the two places are better than the two worlds.
It turned out that the eldest grandson Wuji was sent to Qianzhou that day, and the nine clans were punished. And the eldest grandson Lingxin was not the eldest grandson's family, although he was ostensibly sent with the officers and soldiers, but secretly he was taken back by Tang Gaozong and fostered outside the palace, worshipping Xu Jingzong as his father-in-law and renamed Xu Lingxin.
About three months after the incident, the eldest grandson Wuji committed suicide at the distribution site.
"Farewell that day, you are so bad!" Shang Hua listened to Xu Lingxin talk about his body, and felt that his whole heart was about to be crushed, "But fortunately, we are together again!" said that, he unconsciously shook the hand of the beautiful woman.
The whole body trembled, Xu Lingxin brushed his hand away, and shook his head again and again: "No, I, I, I ......"
Shang Hua also seemed to think of something like this, withdrew his hand and asked: "I heard that young military attache call your wife today, could it be that you have already married another woman, but your hair is still a girl's bun!"
"It's him who said nonsense, he wants to ask the emperor for marriage, but he hasn't yet, he hasn't ...... yet"
Stirring the placket of his clothes, Xu Lingxin's face turned red.
Stepping into his heart, Shang Hua smiled, and the hope in his heart that had been hidden for many years rose again.
......
At this point in the story, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly unconsciously.
"Miss, are you okay?" Lin'er looked at me nervously, "Otherwise, let's not talk about it!"
Before I could say something, I felt a freshness flow into my heart, that moist feeling, like a clear spring flowing through my internal organs, and the discomfort that had just been turned up because of the regret of recalling the unhappy thing was instantly washed away without a trace.
"Thank you, Brother Changjing!"
I knew in my heart that the three people in front of me were the only ones who could make Chang Jing Immortal Jun have this kind of technique that could make me quickly calm my mood, so I smiled at him and poured him a glass of wine.
Nodding his head at me, picking up the glass of wine, Chang Jing Xianjun touched Zhang Linfan, who had been silent with his elbow, and said with a teasing smile: "Little broken child, learn a little, deal with emergencies, you are still too tender!"
Glaring back at him, Zhang Linfan did not refute his words, but looked at me instead: "Are you better?"
With a wave of my hand, I drank a glass of wine and said, "Please, you also think that I am too fragile, just ......"
During the swallowing, my hand was held, and Zhang Linfan's slender eyes stared at me. His palms were soft, dry and warm, and I felt a sense of solidity inexplicably welling up in my heart when I was holding it.
Looking up at him, a familiar blurred face overlapped with his clear real face. In an instant, my eyes swelled, and my tears seemed to be unstoppable.
Suddenly withdrew his hand and covered his mouth, my heart ached faintly again: "If it wasn't for me being so willful that day, how could I make an accident between the two of them?"
patted me on the shoulder, Chang Jing Xianjun shook his head, and also glared back at Zhang Linfan, and said, "I'll talk about it later, let her calm down!"
I glanced at him with gratitude, I drank my wine silently, I didn't dare to look at Zhang Linfan's eyes again, for fear that if I looked at him more, he would find something wrong.
Actually, I don't want to listen to the next story, because, as the mother of the earth, I almost caused a big disaster for my own selfishness at the beginning, and I also harmed others, which is a period of unbearable past that I don't want to face!
Sighing slightly, Chang Jing Xianjun held the wine glass in his hand and said: "Later, Shanghua returned to Ryukyu, and it happened that there was only one thing that she thought she had to do, but I didn't allow her to do it!"
Some stories are better told by myself, thinking of this, I put down my wine glass, took a deep breath and said, "Brother Changjing, let's do it with me!"
"Are you sure you can?"
Chang Jing Xianjun looked at me with a gentle look like water.
Nodding slightly, I showed a "relieved" expression: "I don't regret doing that!"
Everyone's attention was on me again, and the story was about to continue......
......
After reuniting with Xu Lingxin, Shang Hua accompanied Tang Gaozong except for offering peace to Tang Gaozong. For this lost and regained relationship, both of them cherish it quite a lot.
However, time flew quickly, and a month later, he returned to the Ryukyus. People have never been able to settle down, and all they think about is the pretty appearance of that beautiful woman.
Suddenly, the news from Datang shattered all his dreams in a single breath!
Walking to a tavern in a daze, Shang Hua walked in, called for wine, and began to drink.
After a cup of elixir and jade liquid, his heart became fragmented: the happiness and sweetness when they met again seemed like yesterday, but now the Tang Emperor has issued an edict, but he wants to marry his bell to another woman. They said yes, when he came back, they would go to the marriage, but now it was too late, and all the happiness was all lost in one night!
Glass after glass, gulping wine, in front of a fog, when there was a beautiful woman beside her, holding a piano that seemed to flow with a black breath and looked very mysterious!
