Chapter 45: Infatuation (1)
Du Ruolan now regrets that if she hadn't gone out of the Nameless Valley, there would have been no separation of Ge Yuanwai's family, and there would have been no such situation where she didn't know her life and death and waited for no result.
"Don't worry, it's okay! Wait for Brother Tian at home!" I've been waiting for you at home for three years, and this must be very well-behaved, right? But where have you been? Do you remember what you said?
Du Ruolan stayed in Chang'an, and for three years, she didn't dare to take half a step out of the house. I'm afraid that if I'm not there, and Shi Tianyou happens to come back again, what if it's good? She wanted to go to the Nameless Valley to have a look, but she was also worried about this, so she still didn't go after all. Even Dongshi didn't dare to go shopping, just stayed in the house, waiting for ...... stupidly.
People's feelings are really indescribable, once he (she) lives in your heart, you can't get rid of it if you want to, you will take her (he) casual words as a lifelong commitment.
Three years ago, Du Ruolan didn't know much about this, but she was doing it unconsciously. In addition to practicing desperately, she locked herself in the room almost all the time, sometimes in front of the two yellow glazed dolls, sometimes in front of the window, and sometimes looking at her ankles that conveyed her daughter's qi to Shi Tianyou.
When she is a little older, she will look at herself in the bronze mirror, and look at the face in the mirror that is gradually blooming and stretching, and her mood will be better, and then she will secretly say to herself: "Ruolan, come on, be more beautiful"...... Women are not beautiful for themselves at any time.
waited like this for three years, although she didn't wait for Shi Tianyou, but it was still very rewarding. She waited for herself to mature, and her feelings became clear from the initial haze. At this time, her heart began to panic, and a thick worry overshadowed her longing, and later, the situation continued to deteriorate, and she even had nightmares at night, .......
A few days ago, I heard that Sister Xian'er said that she wanted to go to Songshan with her father, and it is said that there will be a lot of people who will come to Songshan this time, and there may be thousands of people, and people from all walks of life will come. Maybe I'll be able to meet him, there's always hope. She didn't want to miss this opportunity, she waited for three years, and didn't wait for Shi Tianyou to come home. This time, Du Ruolan decided to go to him, even if it was the end of the world. I tried to tell my father and asked him to bring him with him when he went, but I didn't expect my father to agree very happily this time, which surprised Du Ruolan.
The person in the main hall has a face longer than Brother Tian's, and Brother Tian is not as full as Brother Tian. The eyes are also a little smaller, they are the kind of slender type, but they are similar to Daddy's eyes. The figure can't be seen, after three years, if you grow fast, Brother Tian should be so tall.
But he is obviously much more mature than Brother Tian, and it is impossible for him to be Brother Tian's. All the way down the Taimur Mountain, Du Ruolan looked at the pair of men and women in front of her, and her thoughts were flooding...... "But why do you have a familiar feeling? It's really strange......" Du Ruolan shook her head with a wry smile, feeling that she might have a problem with her brain, and she had such a ridiculous idea.
Thinking all the way, moving his legs mechanically all the way, he unconsciously arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and the crowd that was still crowded just now suddenly became sparse. Everyone has actually been discussing the matter of today's Sword Palace, Du Ruolan is thinking about her own thoughts, and she doesn't care about what others say, but she occasionally hears a few words, basically talking about the young man, her tone is full of surprise and curiosity, and she is also satisfied, as if it is worth the trip. Du Ruolan walked a few steps quickly, crossed the man and woman, pretended to turn back to look for her companion, her eyes quickly swept over the two, and she felt a sense of loss in her heart. With a long sigh, he suddenly lost his goal in his heart, and he didn't want to go back to Songshan, but where to go now?......
"I'm going to find him. Du Ruolan said to herself.
Now that he has decided, he does not plan to return to Chang'an. But the world is too big, and the sea of people is vast, so how can we find it? That night he stayed at a nearby inn, and the next morning he bought a horse at the market, took off the reins, and let it gallop.
So stay in the store at night, rush during the day, only to feel that the road gradually becomes warmer, and one day to a market, this market is full of traffic, there are many goods, there are many shops, all kinds of female red, precious medicinal materials, rare antiques, everything, prosperous into the eye, there is a feeling of entering the east city of Chang'an.
Along the way, Du Ruolan went to many places to find people, looking for people, of course, there is more hope for the lively places. Many times, when I see a certain back and feel a bit like it, I will be happy and full of hope. Later, I realized that it was not, and I was lost again.
Fastening her mount, Du Ruolan strolled forward and came to a shop selling female red, the door was crowded with people, in stark contrast to the other slightly deserted storefronts. Du Ruolan is not a person who likes to be lively, and was about to make a detour to continue walking, when she suddenly heard the voice of a girl in the crowd: "Cui Gongzi, this is for that girl again?"
"Cui Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few years, where can I be happy? I don't know how many girls in Suzhou City have broken their hearts. Another woman quipped.
Du Ruolan felt curious, and a big man was crowded into the belly pocket, sachet, and rouge bag of the monopoly...... It was the first time she had seen these girls in their home shop.
"I went to a place where donkeys don't, and I was bored for three years, and I just came back, so I walked around and bought something by the way. A man's voice was languid.
"What about deceitful ghosts, right? This is the Xue family's female red, where the beauties are gathered, Cui Gongzi obviously has evil intentions, but he says anything by the way. Another woman laughed.
"I've given this to you, I'll show you when I turn around......" The man held a delicately embroidered belly pocket in his hand and held it up to a woman, who immediately blushed and looked very happy.
The man stood in the middle of a crowd of women, half a head taller than the outstanding women, and was very conspicuous. Du Ruolan glanced at it and thought, "It turns out to be a playboy...... Are you in Suzhou?"
Du Ruolan ignored it all the way, let go of the reins, let the horse gallop, and unconsciously arrived at Suzhou City, one of the four major cities. At that time, it had the reputation of "heaven in the sky, Suzhou and Hangzhou on the earth". Suzhou is densely populated, the river is vertical and horizontal, the water port is dense, you can see small bridges and flowing water everywhere, beautiful women pass through, people come and go, and the trader trades in the market, and gradually becomes a place where the market is divergent, and the prosperity is abnormal.
"No wonder the soft words are tired, and the fishing songs are fluctuating, I'm afraid that only Suzhou has such a scene......" Du Ruolan was pondering, and suddenly heard someone talking in front of her: "Miss, hello!"
Du Ruolan raised her head and saw that the man just now was looking at her with a light smile on his face, is this a conversation? Sure enough, it was a playboy ....... Du Ruolan said "um", which was an answer.
"Dare to ask Miss, is this here to play? New to Suzhou? Can someone who is familiar with Suzhou come with you?" the man said again.
Du Ruolan let out another absent-minded "um", and then shook her head.
"That's a good feeling, my brother was born and raised in Suzhou. Although the scenery of Suzhou City is good, if there is no guide to accompany you, I am afraid that Miss You have spent a lot of time, tired and tired, and you can't see a good view. How can you go home with all the fun?" the man began to strongly recommend himself.
Du Ruolan's heart moved and asked, "What are the places that foreign tourists like to go?"
As soon as the man heard this, he said endlessly: "When you arrive in Suzhou, this Drinking Horse Bridge, Chengyu Bridge, and Falling Soul Bridge...... Must go, Wu Yue Guangling Wang Yuanxi's old garden of the south garden is also a must-go, the river around the city reflects the water orchid fragrance, the air is clear, the water and wood are Mingse, it is not to be missed...... "the moment is like a number of treasures, say dozens of scenic spots. It seems that he is a very genuine guide.
"Why doesn't Gongzi Cui leave this young lady in the mansion for a while? Wait until the lotus festival on June 24, then it will be lively. One woman quipped, and the rest of the women laughed.
When the girls saw that Du Ruolan was extremely beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament, they suddenly felt ashamed of themselves, but they were not jealous, so they joked.
This Cui Gongzi is Cui Dongxing, the son of Suzhou Thorn Shi Cui Lai. Three years ago, Cui Dongxing offered a plan to help his brother Cui Dongshi steal the most beloved prostitute of the imperial historian Zhang Yue, causing a big disaster. Not long ago, Yicheng went down the mountain, returned to Suzhou to visit his parents and brothers, and was ready to stay at home for a while before he left for Chang'an and went to Gu Siyuan.
Cui Dongxing has been studying art in the mountains for three years, and the old Tao has managed him to death, he was very unaccustomed to it at the beginning, and he always wanted to secretly go down the mountain to play, but he was caught by the old Tao every time. After a long time, he died of his heart, and he practiced with the old way wholeheartedly on the mountain. He already has a deep foundation, and he has excellent understanding, once he abandons distracting thoughts and meditates to practice, the progress is naturally not slow, and in three years, he has practiced the old Taoist housekeeping skills. Lao Dao did not break his promise, and as soon as the three years were up, he let him go down the mountain. It's just that when I went down the mountain, I repeatedly told me to go back to Suzhou to see my family and go to Chang'an Gu Mansion as soon as possible.
After Cui Zi offended Zhang Yue, he rarely interacted with him, and he didn't know what methods Lao Dao used against Zhang Yue, and in the past three years, Zhang Yue has never made any trouble with him. He followed the advice of the old way, and soon after Cui Dongxing left with the old way, he went to Chang'an to meet Gu Siyuan and reported the matter in detail. Unexpectedly, after a teaching, Cui Lai seemed to be a different person, and his courage was even bigger, and the things in Suzhou were different from the political views of Jiedu, and he also dared to insist on his own views and did not give in to each other. Once in the court, when Gu Siyuan and Du Rushan were arguing, he actually stood up above the court to publicly support Gu Siyuan, which made the ministers of the court drop their jaws, and everyone thought that he had eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard to go to the court.
Seeing his little ancestor come home after a three-year absence, Cui Lai was naturally happy. But Que Dongxing only stayed at home for a few days, he urged his son to go to Chang'an quickly, Cui Dongxing didn't listen, he chased him with a palm manfu and beat him, Cui Dongxing imagined beating back like usual, but found that today's father is not the same as in the past, he didn't care about it, and said while chasing: "Little animal, let you fight back, either you beat me to death, or I beat your ass." Cui Dongxing had no tricks this time, so he had to promise to go to Chang'an within three days, so Cui Lai would stop.
I happened to meet Du Ruolan in the Xue family women's red shop, which was the first day of the three-day deadline. So Cui Lai still feels that he has time to hook up with this beauty.
He saw Du Ruolan's face full of sadness and depression, which made him even more interested. If you can coax this beautiful woman full of worries to smile like a flower and tremble with flowers, such a thing will be challenging and fulfilling, and it will live up to the name of "drunken girl".
"Oh, you reminded me, and I'll call you then. Obviously perfunctory, Cui Dongxing didn't bother to say anything, as soon as he saw Du Ruolan, he was no longer interested in this group of women, and hurriedly led the way, and really acted as a guide seriously.
The two walked out of the bazaar quickly, Cui Dongxing saw that she was cowardly and weak, but she was always about a few feet away from herself, she was fast and she was fast, she was slow, her face was not red and she was not panting, and her light body kung fu was extremely good, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised in her heart, so the two of them came to a restaurant, Cui Dongxing stopped and asked: "It's lunch time, I'll do Dong, eat some at will?" ”
Du Ruolan nodded and said lightly: "You are your guide, you don't have to be the east, I don't want to take advantage of you." Du Ruolan saw that although he was pleasing to the eye (in fact, he was quite handsome), but his demeanor was frivolous and jumpy, and he met the standards of a playboy from the inside out. Seeing that he was so "enthusiastic", and that he really needed a guide, he agreed to him, but he was exempted from being a host, and he was not without money.
Cui Dongxing hurriedly said: "Take advantage, I can have lunch with you, that is the blessing of cultivation in my previous life, if you want to take advantage, it is my ......."
"Are you still going to eat? If you don't eat, I'll leave. Before he finished speaking, Du Ruolan interrupted him without annoyance, and turned around to leave.
"Eat, eat. You are the east. Seeing that this great plan was going to be aborted because of such a trivial matter as who would do the east, Cui Dongxing hurriedly agreed.
Du Ruolan ignored him anymore, and followed him to the restaurant without a sound. Cui Dongxing called Xiao Er and ordered some sweets, seasonal vegetables, a plate of cold dishes, two meat dishes, meat and vegetables to match. Delicate and simple, but also meticulous and thoughtful.
Du Ruolan thought to herself: "This person is not nothing......
Cui Dongxing asked Du Ruolan about some things during the meal, and Du Ruolan casually talked perfunctory. Cui Dongxing heard that she was from Hunan, so he used his limited geographical knowledge to praise the place he had never set foot in, saying that Hunan people are outstanding people, beautiful people are like clouds, and so on. Most of the time of the meal, he was talking, Du Ruolan was thinking about her own thoughts, and from time to time "um" and "ah" were counted as responses, Cui Dongxing said something at the bottom, she didn't remember a word.
Du Ruolan's absent-mindedness, Cui Dongxing saw it in his eyes, and a feeling of frustration welled up in his heart for the first time. I feel that if the beauty in front of me wants to hook up, the difficulty is not ordinarily high. I thought to myself, "If God can give me a few more days, I don't believe I can't take you." But I'm going to Chang'an in two days......" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.
This sigh was long and melancholy, and Du Ruolan's chaotic thoughts were pulled back by his abrupt sigh. casually asked, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, nothing, I'll only be a guide for two days at most. Cui Dongxing said.
"You want to go out?" Du Ruolan asked casually again.
"Well, I'm going to Chang'an. Cui Dongxing said.
"What a good place, what kind of anger do you sigh?" Du Ruolan said angrily.
"What's so good, because where is the palace of Senran, and the royal spirit of Jinling?" Cui Dongxing said with resentment.
"Why are you going to do it if you don't think it's good? No one is forcing you!" Du Ruolan listened to his tone of disdain for Chang'an, and her heart was also angry.
"Isn't someone forcing me? What Lord Gu, what kind of Shi family kid, it's my business," Cui Dongxing said indignantly.
"What Shi boy? ...... You repeat. Du Ruolan's voice trembled obviously.
