Chapter 1 Who's Encounter with Whom Stings Whom
(ps: Before opening the book, I would like to solemnly thank Xiaobai, auditory hallucinations, Chenda, ethereal Jian, Gongzi Yu, Wutong's support, Dongdong sauce is a hawker in the city, raising a family, it is difficult to avoid vulgarity for real money and silver, only work hard to write code words to sincerely repay all book friends, the more the merrier.) )
- Xiao raised his eyebrows, Ke'er didn't know that one day, this name would be an unspeakable injury, put it in the depths of his heart, he couldn't touch it, and he couldn't say it.
When I met Xiao Yangmei, Lin Keer was nineteen years old, she was one of the many raccoon yarn girls by the stream in the small village of "Backing Mountain Village", and her coarse cloth clothes reflected Keer's naturally beautiful face.
When she turned around, she saw Xiao Yang standing by the stream in white clothes, which made people feel unusually clear and silent, and the girl in red next to her was saying something to him, smiling smartly.
Lin Ke'er seemed to hallucinate that the man was looking at her, so Ke'er raised her eyes to Xiao Yang's gaze.
The man in white had a pair of beautiful eyes, stubborn, cold, cold, with a little stubbornness. Kerr deliberately ignored the flickering and sadness in his eyes, Kerr knew that she could only stay away from such an excellent man.
Soon, the man in white and the girl in red led the horses and walked together along the gravel road by the stream.
Whip silk riding shadow, fairy couples, comfortable landscapes, it seems, everything is so beautiful.
-- What do these beautiful things have to do with me? I'm just an unknown village girl.
As soon as Lin Keer thought of this, he remembered that three years ago, at almost the same time and in the same place, the proud man named "Chenyuan", the man who was the first to open Ke'er's heart, and the man who disappeared as soon as he was shocked.
Then, Kerr's heart hurt slightly.
-- Maybe Tianqing has forgotten about this yellow-haired girl in the ravine, right? Maybe he has already become a family, married a wife and had children, right?
At noon that day, the mother called back Lin Ke'er, who was weaving yarn by the stream, and when Ke'er stepped into the courtyard, she saw a middle-aged man with heavy eyebrows and a very loyal and honest man standing with her father. The mother called Ke'er to the side and told her that this man was Meng Chubai, the helmsman of the "Suzhou" helmsman of the "Luohuaxuan" Xiao family of the "Jiangning" wealthy family
The man smiled at Ke'er, who nodded in response, without much communication.
After dinner, after Meng Chubai left, his mother asked Ke'er: "Ke'er, are you willing to marry you to this person?"
"Well, that's what I listen to. Ke'er replied quietly, and her delicate face still didn't have too much expression.
In Lin Keer's opinion, girls have to get married sooner or later. After the man left that day, it didn't matter who she married in this life, she married just to fulfill her father's wish, and now her father and mother have taken a fancy to Meng Chubai, so she will marry this person!
Before leaving the cabinet, Lin Keer wanted to go to the county seat to visit her cousin Ying'er, and the two sisters had disappeared for a while. I heard that Ying'er's recent illness has worsened again, and my uncle, Xi Qinggu County, listened to Fang Shi Chu Tianji's words, and wanted to organize a marriage for his cousin Zhang Luo to be happy, and her husband's family is the second son of the "Nangong family", a famous family in the "Jiangnan".
-- It's really nonsense to think about it, Ying'er is only a fourteen-year-old child, so sick, but her uncle and aunt have to blow and blow and beat far away to "Jiangnan" to get married, this road is bumpy, Ying'er is afraid that she will have half a life left if she doesn't die.
Lin Keer really wanted to see the poor cousin, she knew that the two of them were about to leave the cabinet, once they got married, one Tiannan and the other Haibei, I was afraid that they would never see each other in this life.
However, Lin Keer finally dispelled the idea.
Although they are cousins of two aunts, the rich and noble uncles and aunts in the officialdom have always been very snobbish, and they have never looked down on the poor relatives of the Lin family. Ke'er thought about it, forget it, why bother to stick someone else's cold ass with her own hot face?
I heard that Nangong Yushu, the second son of the "Nangong family", was born blind, and he couldn't see anything with his eyes, and his uncle and aunt were so anxious to marry Ying'er, not because they coveted the power of the "Nangong" family and the large bride price, but they just took pity on their cousin, and they had such a pair of bitter and mercenary adoptive parents, who secretly didn't know how many grievances they suffered and shed tears for this unsatisfactory family business......
Lin Keer is a sensible and well-behaved girl, she will not confide in her parents about these things, she can only confide in the family's local dog "Xiao Hei".
When she left home, Lin Keer wanted to take "Little Black" with her, but her parents refused. On that day, "Little Black" followed him a long way, sending off a ride, another ride, Ke'er rode on a green mule, looked back, and clearly saw that there were tears in the black eyes of "Little Black".
Lin Keer was very sad and waved to the "little black" who was constantly moving away and gradually blurring......
After Kerr left, "Little Black" began to stop eating, depressed, skinny, and soon died by the "Yue Nu Creek" where Kerr often wore yarn......
Meng Chubai took Ke'er back to the "Suzhou" rudder of "Jiangnan Luohuaxuan", and on the same day, many Meng Chubai's brothers came to the "Meng Mansion" to visit the future "sister-in-law" under various pretexts.
The brothers crowded the room, Lin Keer hid in the room with a red face and refused to come out, and in the end it was a man named "Hu Dayong", who called "sister-in-law" one by one, and asked Keer to come out, poured a cup of tea for everyone, and the brothers dispersed in a satisfied manner.
Meng Chubai has a somewhat wooden personality and doesn't talk much, but he is very attentive to Lin Ke'er and will take Ke'er around to take a look.
Meng Chubai has no relatives, according to himself, he is an orphan, when he was very young, he was taken in by Xiao Jiemei, the old man of the Xiao family of "Luohuaxuan", provided him with food and clothing, taught him martial arts, and treated him as half a son.
Chu Bai is very introverted, very pragmatic, and very competitive, over the years for the Xiao family, sincere, dedicated, made a lot of achievements, in the "Suzhou" area, has become the representative of "Luohuaxuan" alone.
Meng Chubai is not too sociable, so he basically has no friends in "Suzhou City", and his only friend is Xiao Yangmei, the young master of the Xiao family, who has grown up with him since he was a child and is like a brother.
The rudder affairs were complicated, and Meng Chubai went out almost early in the morning, and dragged his tired body back after a busy day and night. Ke'er will obediently cook Chu Bai's favorite supper, and wait quietly for him to come back.
Meng Chubai is ten years older than Ke'er, he doesn't say it, but he feels very guilty, in order to prevent this little girlfriend who stays at home all day long from feeling bored, Chu Bai will sacrifice his rest time when he is not busy, and try to spend as much time as possible to gossip with Ke'er.
A loyal man who is nearly thirty years old, in front of a girl like a flower, he is clumsy and clumsy and doesn't know how to say anything about love, and he basically talks about some anecdotes and news in the rivers and lakes.
Meng Chubai never talked to Ke'er about the scandals on the rivers and lakes, he didn't want those bad things to taint this pure girl in purple.
No matter what Meng Chubai said, Lin Keer held his cheeks in his hand and listened attentively under the lamp.
- Although I can rarely understand the things that Chu Bai said, and I am not very interested, I will listen to them with my heart, which is a kind of respect, and I don't want to see that honest man who is trying his best to find a common topic, with a look of loss and inferiority on his face, I can't bear it.
Meng Chubai never said when he would marry Ke'er, he didn't say, and she didn't ask.
Time passed in such a quiet and boring day......
One day, Ke'er, who was dressed in purple, suddenly found that the pomegranates in the yard had fallen to the ground and turned yellow, and it turned out to be late autumn.
These days, a big thing is happening in the martial arts.
-- The "Huwei Dart Bureau," the old enemy of the Xiao family of "Luohuaxuan" and subordinate to the "Dafengtang" in the Kanto region, took a dart from the official family and escorted the "skull cover" of Gongbao into Beijing. The dart car was robbed at the boundary of "Luohuaxuan", and the dart team was killed by Zhang Dawei, the head of the dart, together with the dart master, the executioner, and the groom, a total of 19 people.
Afterwards, Li Yuanwai, one of the four deacons in the outer hall of the "Dafeng Hall", rushed to the scene of the crime and found that the deceased had all died under the secret weapon of the Xiao family of the "Luohuaxuan" "How many flowers bloom and fall".
At this time, the two giants of the Xiao family, Xiao Baiyi and Xiao Broken Eyebrows, were fighting for power, and they had no intention of making such a strong enemy, so they immediately appointed Meng Chubai, the helmsman of "Suzhou", to explain the negotiations on behalf of "Luohuaxuan".
Meng Chubai said to Lin Ke'er before leaving: "Ke'er, I'm going to go out to Guanwai, two months at most, tomorrow I will take you to a friend's house, he is closer to the market, where do you live It is convenient to go to the market, the people who divide the rudder are very busy, I am afraid that they will snub you." ”
Ke'er nodded obediently, just like her mother said, isn't a woman just marrying a chicken and a dog......
- That night, I remember that Chu Bai was unusual, he drank a lot of wine outside, he came back very late, he was helped back by his two brothers, he was very drunk, I know, he must have something on his mind.
After boiling the sobering soup and waiting for Meng Chubai to sleep, Lin Ke'er went to ask the two rudder brothers, the big man "Feiyun Hand" Wu Gang was hesitant, and couldn't say why, and the other "Dwarf King Kong" Hu Dayong wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to hint at Ke'er something, however, in the end, he just stomped his feet and didn't say anything.
This is very inconsistent with the character of Hu Dayong, a rectum man, everything is inexplicably strange.
That night, Ke'er vaguely heard Meng Chubai dreaming of a woman's name called "Gongsun Xiaoniang......
The next day, Meng Chubai led Lin Keer to the "Xiao Garden", the young master of "Luohuaxuan", in the annex of "Suzhou".
When Kerr stood in the antechamber of "Xiao Yuan", Kerr knew that fate began to play its role, whether it was sadness or happiness.
She saw Xiao raised his eyebrows, a man dressed in white, who was still as cold as when she first met.
"Miss Ke'er, live here with peace of mind, you can walk around the garden when you're fine. Hearing Xiao Yang's voice, Ke'er raised her head, met his sad eyes, and then responded obediently, "Okay." ”
Meng Chubai and Xiao raised eyebrows and talked in a low voice, but Ke'er couldn't hear what they were talking about, thinking that Chu Bai probably asked his friend to take care of his fiancée for him.
When leaving, Meng Chubai took Lin Ke'er's hand and said a little dullly: "Ke'er, when I come back, come back and marry you." ”
Ke'er replied softly, a little carelessly.
At that time, I really wanted to ask Chu Bai who the "Gongsun Xiaoniang" who appeared in her dream was and what kind of woman she was? If you don't love, why cling?
Meng Chubai, the "tear-wet green shirt", and the three horsemen of his two subordinates quickly disappeared into the distance of the alley of "Suzhou", with a little sadness of parting and fear of the unknown future.
- I don't know why, but I always had a strange feeling at that time, that parting with Chu Bai was our farewell, and it was a farewell between me and that loyal man.
