Volume 1 Thousand Gates, Chapter 6: Broken (3)

"Xiu'er, don't you even listen to your father's words!"

"It's because I believe in my dad that Xiu'er has always listened to her father. Now that my father is going to marry me to that Sima Wei, what should I do with Brother Clerical? My father has promised me and Brother Clerical since I was a child, and now that I have reversed course, I want to go to Brother Clerical!"

In the huge living room of Qian Mansion, Qian Jinxian and his daughter had a fierce dispute early in the morning, and the old housekeeper on the side and Qian Jinxian's wife Zhang Yumei persuaded her bitterly, but no matter how everyone explained, Qian Xiu'er was very excited, and she was going to run out of the house after speaking.

Qian Jinxian was indignant, pointed at his daughter and scolded: "Since ancient times, the marriage of children has always been decided by their parents, so Xu Wenwen is so poor, how can he be worthy of our Qian family?

Qian Xiu'er's face was full of tears at the moment, and she choked up: "If my father and mother are really good for Xiu'er, I should understand that Xiu'er's sweetheart is only Brother Wen, let me marry a Sima Wei who I don't like, Xiu'er would rather die than give in!"

"Xiu'er, your father's condition is just right, don't be angry with your father anymore. Qian Xiu'er's mother said anxiously.

"If you dare to walk out of this door, I will break your legs!" Qian Jinxian's mouth was full of star foam with excitement, and he motioned to the old housekeeper on the side to stop Qian Xiu'er.

Who knew that Qian Xiu'er threw down a sentence and rushed out of the house: "I'll go to confront my brother and my father face to face, if my father's promise is not kept, Xiu'er will go on a hunger strike!"

Seeing Qian Xiu'er running away, the old housekeeper immediately ordered the servants at the door to chase after him, but Qian Jinxian was so angry that he didn't mention it in one breath, and suddenly the whole person's center of gravity was unstable and he was about to fall to the ground; everyone was in a hurry, his wife and the old housekeeper helped Qian Jinxian, who had fainted, and shouted loudly: "Master!" At this time, there was a burst of thunder outside the door, and a violent storm swept in for a moment, and the Qian Mansion suddenly became a mess, how could he still have the heart to chase Qian Xiu'er.

Dark clouds were thick, and in a wild forest on the outskirts of Jiqing Province, a particularly eye-catching thatched hut swayed in the roaring lightning and strong wind, the straw on the roof was blown around, and the top of the column was also a little shaky. Inside, a small single room with a few simple pieces of furniture, and some portraits scattered around it, Xu Wendi stood in front of a broken bed, letting the eaves leak, ignoring the slightest. I saw that he was holding a portrait of a young girl in his hand, and there was a wistful smile in his eyes, but then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the words he had overheard yesterday echoed in his mind, and a drop of rain ran across his hair and his cheeks, as if he were crying.

"Brother Clerical, where are you!" the storm outside the house was raging, and only the voice of a young girl was heard.

Xu Wenwen nervously put down the already soaked portrait in his hand, and he shouted: "Don't come in!"

Qian Xiu'er stood helplessly at the bridge railing, letting the wind and rain splash, she cried and asked, "Why? You already know everything, don't you?"

There was no response in the room, Xu Wenwen grabbed his head and sobbed silently, and then he endured his choked voice and said bitterly: "Just like that Sima Wei said, I am not qualified to marry you, let alone worthy of you! ”

Xiu'er has never disliked the background of her brother Cler, but admired it. I won't marry Sima Wei, Xiu'er is willing to follow Brother Clerical to the ends of the earth and live forever!"

"Eternal life and eternity?" Xu Wenwen asked himself softly, his food and clothing for three meals a day is still a problem, even the place in front of him can't withstand the wind and rain after all, the helpless reality only needs to give him a light blow, and he will collapse in an instant, the so-called dream is really a fool's dream, what ability does he have to bring happiness to this pampered Miss Qian family in the future? The appearance of Sima Wei made Xu Wenwen understand his situation and infatuation, all kinds of things in the past were just his own wishful thinking, what kind of family matter did he have to climb the Qian Mansion, everyone was just pity for him Xu Wenwen.

The fierce rain poured into the mountains and fields, washing this fragile little thatched hut, Qian Xiu'er shouted Xu Wenwen's name heartbreakingly, praying that he could bravely come out and face everything in front of him. But no matter how much she shouted, there was no movement in the hut.

She said disappointedly, "If you can come, we will definitely convince Daddy." If you don't come, I won't marry Sima Wei, even if I die! Xiu'er will only be with her beloved in this life!" After saying that, she turned her head and left, but accidentally tripped over the stone under her feet and fell into the puddle.

Xu Wenwen, who was hiding in front of the door, secretly witnessed all this, he couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed out in the rain, the two of them relied on each other, looked at each other, and hugged each other tightly for a moment, Xu Wenwen took off his coat to cover her, with bitter tears in his eyes, and said heartlessly: "Xiu'er, why are you so stubborn." ”

Xiu'er turned crying into laughter, she said: "I only have you in my heart, in this world, no one can separate you and me, only Brother Cler, can draw Xiu'er so vividly, because in Brother Cler's heart, there is only Xiu'er." ”

Xu Wenwen bowed his head and was silent, a girl is still so chaste, love and hate, he is a dignified seven-foot man, but why is he so indecisive and cramped.

Qian Xiu'er grabbed Xu Wenwen's hand at this moment and said, "Let's go back together to convince Daddy that I won't marry Sima Wei!"

The two nodded resolutely, both of them helped up, and ran in the direction of Qianfu.

At noon, there was thunder and rain showers outside the sky, and this spring rain seemed to flood the entire Jiqing Mansion, and only some scattered passers-by could be seen on the street to avoid the storm. In the entire mansion of the Qian Mansion, everyone was in a mess, Qian Jinxian's wife Zhang Yumei was frightened in front of the bed, a Lang Zhong was checking the pulse of the dying Qian Jinxian, the servants were nervously guarding the door, only the old housekeeper was standing in the house, and he didn't know what to do.

Qian Jinxian's condition deteriorated so quickly, such a situation was unexpected, Lang Zhong looked at it for a long time before standing up, Zhang Yumei hurriedly asked: "Sir, what is going on with my master's condition?"

Lang Zhong shook his head and said helplessly: "Although Master Qian suffers from an old disease, he can barely suppress it by relying on medicine to recuperate. However, now he is not a symptom caused by an old disease, but has eaten a poison, this poison is violent, can attack the heart, spleen and kidneys, at this moment the five internal organs in his body are showing signs of decline, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky!"

Lang Zhong's words made everyone present like a bolt from the blue, Zhang Yumei almost fainted, her maid on the side helped her, and the old housekeeper asked: "What kind of poison is my master? Why is it so fast, the old man's physical condition seems to be very good a few days ago, and the blood color has returned to normal." ”

"This poison is violent, I have never seen it, it is neither like the Broken Intestine Grass, nor like the Five Poison Scatter, when I gave Master Qian a pulse, his pulse was weak, as if there were many things swimming in his body, maybe the contemptible medical skills are shallow, and it cannot be detected. ”

Zhang Yumei held her dizzy forehead at this time, and she exclaimed: "Mr. is the best man in this Jiqing Mansion, and even Mr. doesn't know what this poison is, I ...... How can I be good. As she spoke, she walked to the bed and looked at Qian Jinxian, who had a faint breath, with two lines of light tears flowing down her cheeks.
