forty-five
Although the situation is getting worse, but fortunately, Xu Lingxin's mind is not on Li Jun, so no matter how much cold-eyed bullying she has, it doesn't matter to her at all.
On weekdays, as long as her body allowed, she slowly paced to the deepest part of the courtyard, where there was a towering tree, and under the tree was a flower bed that she had tended by herself, and in it was planted the kind of secretly beautiful and bloody flower like the sun in the palm of her hand, which was once her father's favorite flower.
Sitting on the edge of the flower bed, she can stay for an afternoon, or a few hours, close her eyes and smell the flowers, reminiscing about her childhood and Shanghua, where can those beautiful and picturesque days be forgotten?
The days are like flowing water, living slowly and without stopping, Datang is still prosperous, and Chang'an is still prosperous.
As the saying goes, "ten years of feng shui rotate", I want to think that the eldest grandson's family died and went into exile, but now for some reason, it is the turn of a big official surnamed Zhang, but the Li family has always been good friends with this Zhang family, and it must be somewhat implicated.
hated that Li Jun, when he heard about this, he was so frightened that he fled in a hurry with his subordinates and concubines at night, and he didn't even give his family a breath. Helplessly, the old mother of the Li family was in the house, but she never thought that one day, her most beloved son would be able to leave himself behind and live in panic with a large family, and he escaped.
The house slave yard workers, the servants didn't know where they heard the rumors, and they fell into chaos for a while.
One after another, those who stole the beams and changed the pillars escaped and ascended to the sky, and those who fled secretly escaped, and the antique calligraphy and paintings in the house were also taken away a lot.
The Li family, who should have been sentenced heavily, was only mentioned because Tang Gaozong was worried about his concubine Xu Lingxin, but it was not really seriously punished.
Despite this, the Li Mansion is no longer in the same glory as before.
There are only Mother Li and Xu Lingxin left in the family to support them, but fortunately, there is some surplus grain, gold and silver in the cellar in Fuzhong, so as to teach them to barely survive, however, this is just a drag, not a long-term solution.
More than three months have passed, and the affairs in Chang'an have subsided, but Li Jun is still not seen returning home.
Mother Li was heartbroken because of her thoughts, and she was sad that she was unfilial to herself, and she was frightened by the previous incident, so she couldn't afford to get sick, and she didn't delay for a few days, and she died and returned to the west!
After burying his mother-in-law, Xu Lingxin thought that life would be better than before, but he didn't want to be robbed by gangsters on the way back, stuffed into a carriage and sold to a strange place overnight, and practiced piano and dance with ordinary girls.
On this day, Shang Hua was idle and bored, and it happened that his brother Shangge invited a new team of singers and beauties to perform, so he was invited to the banquet.
During the banquet, push the glass and change the lamp, treat the wine as a song, staggered, a faction of singing and dancing, so lively!
At the end of the day, several people who looked like class leaders entered the temple with a brightly dressed singer and dancer. The beauties all covered their faces with red veils and bowed down in front of the Ryukyu King Shange, and then with the sound of music, they began to sing beautifully and dance and spin.
Shang Hua, who had no intention of entertaining, just lowered his head and drank his wine sullenly, eating the fish and meat on the plate, and inadvertently raised his eyes to glance at it, and his eyes suddenly fixed on the face of one of the dancing girls, although it was separated by a layer of tulle, he still asked him to take off his cup!
Because, the dancer who has no expression, dances with the song, and hides her face in the tulle, isn't it the Xu Lingxin he has thought about day and night, for many years!
The beloved person was standing in front of him, where could he care about any red tape, and came to Xu Lingxin step by step!
Everyone felt strange, but because of their high status, they didn't dare to make more mistakes, so they looked at the atmosphere and didn't dare to make a sound.
Shangge was very happy when he saw this scene!
For so many years, he has been under the knees of many sons and daughters, and his younger brother is only a few years younger than himself, seeing that he is standing up, not to mention a son and a half daughter, he has never even married a wife.
Where to care about whether to explain or not, Shang Hua hurriedly said goodbye to Brother Wang, and ran to his house, puzzled in his heart: Ling'er didn't marry Li Jun as his wife, how could he end up in Ryukyu and become a dancing girl?
I wanted to close it, so I hurriedly urged my crotch to get off the horse, galloped all the way, and returned to the house, it was already night.
didn't care about the house slave maid who came up next to him, but he ran directly into the room.
After sending away all the attendants guarding the door, Shang Hua sank the excitement in his chest before he pushed open the lattice door in front of him and made a "bang" sound.
Taking off his shoes and neatly placing them in the doorway, he stepped into the room gently. I saw a slender figure with his back to the door, kneeling on the tatami mat, his head hanging down and his shoulders trembling slightly.
Walking cautiously, he slowly squatted down, his gentle hands fell on the trembling shoulders of the person in front of him, and called in a low voice.
"Ling'er, is that you?"
The person in front of him trembled even more, and his hands suddenly raised to cover his head: "No, no, it's not me, it's not, I'm not!"
Looking at her pitiful look, Shang Hua hugged her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, Ling'er, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm Shang Hua!"
The trembling stopped instantly, and his hands fell and his arms were clenched, not moving or making a sound.
"After that day of farewell, how did you end up like this?"
Turning her to herself in distress, Shang Hua's voice was a little choked, and a pair of deep eyes full of distress could not be concealed.
Looking at his face, Xu Lingxin, who was full of horror, finally cried, fell into the warm embrace as when they first met, and cried loudly.
Holding her thin body tightly, Shang Hua's heart throbbed with every cry she made, and he began to regret why he couldn't forcibly take her away from that place in the first place, and make her so miserable now!
Gradually, Xu Lingxin's emotions calmed down, and he slowly raised his head, looking at Shang Hua who was close at hand, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to flow out.
"I can't imagine that in my lifetime, I will still see you!"
"Fool!" Shang Hua stroked her cheek and sighed softly, "God has treated me well, we can finally be together!"
A pair of beautiful people snuggled together, with satisfied and happy smiles on their faces......
Those days were probably the happiest time after many years of heavy tenting, because of the bond between the two people, so they were happier than their childhood companions!
On this day, the elder brother Shangge recruited Shang Hua to meet in the palace, saying that he had something important to discuss.
Seeing the back of him leaving, Xu Lingxin always felt faintly uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop him from leaving, so he had to stay in the house and wait for him to come back.
Shang Hua had been waiting for a cup of tea in Shangge's palace, but he only saw that his brother's brows were deeply locked and he didn't say a word, and the wine glass in his hand fell on the table and picked it up, drinking wine one by one until the bottom of the pot was reached.
"Brother has something to say, but it's okay to talk about it!"
Knowing that it was his brother who had something unspeakable, Shang Hua got up and bowed his hand, knelt on the tatami mat, and made a big salute.
Finally putting down the wine glass, Shange sighed heavily before he had to speak.
It turned out that not long ago, Chang'an came to the news, saying that the Li family's case was overturned, and the former grievances were washed, and the fleeing Li Jun was not only innocent but also meritorious.
When he returned to Chang'an, he heard that his family had suffered this accident, his mother had died, and his wife's whereabouts were unknown, so he was very sad, so he asked people to inquire everywhere for news, and finally learned that his wife was still in the world, but she was sold to Ryukyu by gangsters to become a song and dance girl.
So, I begged Tang Gaozong, and I came to Ryukyu with a team of people and horses, and was ordered to find someone!
Coincidentally, this matter was known to the master of the Yiji class, in order to reward the silver, he had gone to ventilate the news, and now that Li Jun is staying at the palace of the palace, ready to welcome Xu Lingxin back to Tang.
These words were like thunderbolts on a sunny day, and they hit Shang Hua black, and almost a mouthful of blood spurted out.
How could he accept this kind of thing, he had been in love for ten years, thinking that he could finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, but he didn't know that it was rainy but the moon was difficult to clear!
I don't know how I left the palace, Shang Hua only felt that his feet were soft, and every step he took was like stepping on cotton, and he might fall at any time.
When he returned to his mansion, he found that Xu Lingxin was not at home, so he found his subordinates, only to know that when he entered the palace to see his brother and king, someone came to take him away.
With a wry smile, how could Shang Hua not understand that this was a plan that Brother Wang had to use to divert the tiger from the mountain in order to ensure peace between the two countries. However, the last time because of his choice to look forward to the future, the beloved was tortured for all these years, and he regretted it until his intestines were blue, so this time, he decided to take a risk for her, even if he was infamous through the ages, he would not let go of her hand again!
With such an idea in mind, he waited until nightfall, took out the snow-white treasure horse from the stable, flew up, and went straight to the Tang Pavilion!
Easily stunned the guards, Shang Hua looked around for Xu Lingxin's figure, and finally found a disheveled person in a room who wanted to hang a beam!
broke into the door and rescued her from the rope, and Shang Hua hugged her tightly.
"Ling'er, why are you doing this?"
In his arms, Xu Lingxin couldn't even cry tears, but just muttered vigorously: "I'm innocent, innocent, I don't!"
Seeing that her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, she was barefoot, and her whole body was covered with scars on her face, coupled with these remarks, Shang Hua knew in her heart what she had experienced in the past few hours.
took off the robe on his body, wrapped the person in his arms tightly, and then picked it up, the expression on Shang Hua's face was extremely firm, and his low voice made people feel very safe.
"I'll take you away!"
