"I have been forcing you too much, which makes you want to run away. I am already old and have no strength to fight with my children anymore. You can go home and take her with you. I will not say anything more in the future."
"Is it true?" He never dreamed that his father would make such a decision. He felt that he was simply dreaming.
His father stayed with him for dinner, and he also brought the chef from the mansion. They traveled thousands of miles and cooked many of his favorite dishes. Gongyang Nong almost cried. He was always challenging his father's bottom line, but his father wanted to let him Come back and regress again and again.
Gongyang Nong was eager to bring the good news to Twelve Niangs and told her that they would not have to move again in the future. He wanted her to be his wife and step into Gongyang's house in a dignified manner.
After noon, when he was about to say goodbye, his father suddenly covered his heart and fell to the ground. Gongyang Nong hurriedly hugged his father and said, "Father, wake up."
The doctor diagnosed and treated my father and said that he was not accustomed to the climate and soil of Changzhou. He had hot flashes and needed someone to take care of him at night.
Gongyang Nong wanted to ride back and talk to Twelve Niang, but his father couldn't go here. He held Gongyang Nong's hand and said, "You can go back and talk to her tomorrow, and then we can go back to Yujian together, isn't it okay?" "
The stone in Gongyang Nong's heart has fallen to the ground. Since his father has agreed, nothing will change in the future. Twelve Niangs can be with him forever, and he can also give Twelve Niangs their status and save Twelve Niangs' lowly status. The registration is removed and recorded in the Gongyang family.
His father kept talking to him all night. The father and son could hardly finish all the words they had saved for many years in one night.
His father lifted the hair from his forehead and saw that the scar as long as his little finger had become lighter. He still felt pain in his heart, "I shouldn't have acted so ignorantly and made you disfigured."
Gongyang smiled thickly, "It's me, the son, who makes my father worry."
The next morning, Gongyang Nong got up very early to dress his father. There were already many age spots on the back of his father's hands and wrinkles on his face.
After getting dressed for his father, his father said, "Go ahead and pick her up. I'll wait for you here." He brushed his sleeves with his hand, like brushing away a speck of dust.
After saying this to Gongyang Nong, he wanted to say something else, opened his mouth, but closed it tightly again.
Gongyang Nong got on the horse and kept waving his whip. He still felt that the horse was running too slow. He couldn't wait to tell Twelve Niangs the good news.
When I got home, it was already noon.
When the sun came out, Gong Yangnong pushed open the door and entered. The room was dark and all the windows were not open. He called out to Twelve Mothers, but no one answered him.
He had never encountered such a strange thing when he came home. No matter how late he came back, Twelve Niang would always be waiting for him at home.
He walked into the house and looked for her everywhere. She was not in the bedroom or in the kitchen.
Finally, he dared to believe that Twelve Mother was really not at home.
Maybe it was a visit.
he said to himself.
But he turned around and went to the neighboring houses, asking each house if he had seen Twelve Niangs.
"Get in the carriage and leave," said a neighbor.
"Getting on the carriage? Whose carriage?"
Some wives like to invite Twelve Niangs to paint pictures at home, so it is possible to invite her to their homes.
"I can't remember clearly," the man said.
"Then do you remember when she left?"
"It happened this morning. As soon as the sun came up, I saw a carriage parked in front of your house. The Twelve Mother got on the carriage and left."
He said he would come back last night, but he missed the appointment.
Twelve Niangs are petty and must be very angry.
"Did Twelve Mother say when she would be back?"
The neighbor shook his head and said that Twelfth Mother had left nothing.
Someone chimed in, "It was a man who took her away."
Gongyang Nong's heart skipped a beat, "It's a man? Could it be that he belongs to his father?"
The neighbor added, "The guards waiting at the carriage all call him Lord Peng."
His hands couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly carried it behind his back so that no one would notice.
It was like receiving a loud slap out of thin air.
Did she push him away on purpose
Peng Duhu had been here a long time ago and was preparing to take her away. She just wanted to find a chance to escape
So she insisted on letting him meet his father
Twelve Niang has no intention of leaving Changzhou with him. Is she acting so strangely recently because she wants to escape from him
Twelve Niang still thinks about that man, can she forget him
He sat in the empty house with all his thoughts pounding in his ears.
If he came back last night as promised, would she still leave? Or is that just an excuse for her to delay
She was so sad and said she couldn't let him go, was it all because she had already planned to leave with him
Everything weighed him down.
She forced him to see his father for the last time. He clearly said it was okay not to go, but she was very angry.
Twelve Niangs are setting a trap for him, right
Are her tears out of her sincerity for him, or just pity for him guarding her all these years
Has he protected her all these years, or restrained her all these years
Gong Yangnong was panicked. He wanted to figure out the answers to these riddles, but the people who gave them did not give them the answers.
He sat from day to night. When night fell completely, he understood only one thing.
Twelve Niangs really left him.
He couldn't understand that the day before yesterday she had said that she would never lose him, but this morning, she got into another man's carriage.
Gongyang Nong waited anxiously. He was about to lose his patience. He wanted to wait for an explanation and listen to Twelve Niang's explanation in person.
There is also the Book of Songs that Twelve Mothers often read on the table, open to the sky.
In July, fire flows, in September, clothes are given, and in spring, there is sunshine, and there is the sound of Cang Geng.
The words "September of the Month" were stained with ink. He glanced at them and closed the Book of Songs.
It rained at night. He stood in the yard and looked at the sky. The clouds were broken by lightning, which was particularly scary. The ram was soaked all over. He walked back into the house and wanted to sit on the edge of the bed to rest. Between the thunder and lightning, the once warm hut was no longer worthy of nostalgia. It was empty, cold, and like a tomb.
He fears.
He squatted in the rain and listened to the sound of rain falling on him, the rustling of leaves and the sound of wind in the forest.
He was abandoned.
The ram went crazy with thick hair and smashed everything in the yard.
In this way, he spent the night.
He sat at the stone table in the yard and spent the night in the rain. His face turned blue and his lips were bloodless.
In the early morning, someone knocked on the door of the house.
Gongyang Nong suddenly smiled and suddenly thought of something. He turned back to look at the messy yard. He was afraid that Twelfth Mother would be angry. If she came back and saw him like this, she would stamp her feet in anger. He hurriedly went to clean up the house.
Still holding Twelve Niang's books in her hand, she went to open the door.
"I said you last night..."
The book in his hand fell weakly on the threshold, was hit by the threshold, turned over and fell to the ground.
It's the girl who used to serve Twelve Mothers.
